Hooks and Eyes in Religion.

Down in Washington County, on its
northern border, lived a religious sect
known as the Amish Church, with Pc
culiar views. They discard all show in
dress and living. The men wear no
collars on their coats or buttons on their
clothes. The women wear no buttons.
They are considered devices of the devil.
Only hooks and eyes were tolerated by
either sex. Their preacher, Benjamin
Eicher, learned and progressive man,
became imbued with the spirit of the
ace, and made an innovation on their
tenets by declaring that the acts of men
were of more Importance than what
they wore. This was the beginning of
a division and the church divided itself
into hooks and eyes and buttons. The
controversy was bitter. The hooks and
eyes were headed by one Conrad, who
denounced the buttoners as heretics.
The preacher one day came to his pull
pit with collar and buttons on his
coat. This was an objectionable sin
with the Conrads. He had daughter
who was educated and refined, taught
music and also was teacher in the pub
lie schools. A son of the elder Con-
rad, brought up in the faith of his fa-
ther, in the heat of the contest made re-
marks against the virtue of the young
lady. She brought an action against
him for SANDER, and last week the case
was tried, resulting in verdict for $500
against young Conrad. 1t was plainly
apparent that the Scandalous words
were the result of a mistaken belief that
because she had departed from the hook
and eye faith she was UNANIMOUSLY bad.
As she sought only a vindication of her
good name, she will not demand the
money.-St. Paul. MINI. J Pioneer Press,

The Cancer Hospital, at Aurora, Ill

DR.. F. l.. Ponds hospital in this city, the
largest institution in the United States, es-
pecially devoted to the treatment of this
particular disease is full of patients from all
over the Union. These patients, both male
and female, are of all ages and conditions,
and afflicted with every imaginary form Of
visit to the hospital, the other day, convinced
us that all of these sufferers have implicitfaith
in the skill of DR.. Pond, and those whose
cases are most critical only regret that they
had not availed themselves of his services be-
fore suffering years of worse than useless
treatment i'll other hands. The most peri ect
system, good order and neatness is appare mt
everywhere; the Doctor makes 1t point to
personally look after the care and comfort Of
each patient, and the smile of gratitude with
which he is welcomed in every room is evi-
dence tnat his efforts i'll their behalf are duly
appreciated. Each succeeding visit to the
Aurora Cancer Hospital more fully impresses
us in the belief that it is the most admirably
conducted institution of the kind in the
country, and that its energetic and skillful
proprietor is doing a wonderfully-successful
work in the relief and cure of persons afflicted
in this direction.
The hospital is full of patients-arrivals
and departures being of almost daily occur
renee. At the hospital, his powerful electro
galvanic battery is in excellent working order,
and frequently proves of inestimable value in
the removal of monster tumors without draw
ing blood, and the performance of other diff
cult and dangerous operations. Scrofula and
skin diseases of all kinds are treated with sue
cess by the DR.. Send for information on.-BeacO1,.

Fashionable FOOlishness.

There is no modern fashionable notion quito
so absurd as the generally received idea that
to be beautiful and attractive, woman must
possess a wan, Spi1ituelle face and figure of
sylph-like proportions-a fragility in nine
cases out of ten the result of disease. By
many fashionable bellies it is considered a
special compliment to be spoken Of as frail
and delicate. They forget that the naturally
delicate face and petite figure are very differ
ent from the pale and diseas2-stricken faces
that meet us in the city thoroughfares, look
out from the luxuriant carriages of wealth,
and glide languidly through our crowded
drawing-rooms. If disease were unfashion-
able, as it ought to be, not lady in the land
but would take every possible precaution to se-
cure the fresh, blooming face and we'll
rounded figure that only health can give.
Ladies should remember that much as gentle
men may profess to admire the face and form
paled and emaciated by disease, when they
choose wife they prefer blooming, health
full, buoyant-spirited woman. DR.. Pierce's
Favorte Prescription is the acknowledged
standard remedy for female diseases and
weaknesses. 1t has the two-fOld advantage
of curing the local disease and imparting a
vigorous tone to the whole system. 1t is sold
by druggists.

The expenses attendant upon law
proceedings are well illustrated by the
following list of costs incurred in the
! notorious Bauffremont case, which has
attracted public attention in Europe for
SO many years. The separation in 1867
cost 5000 francs; the first, second and
third lawsuits, $1,000 francs each; the
! fourth, 10000 francs and the Belgian
Lawsuit, $4,000 francs. Then comes
the money given by the Princess Bibes-
co to M. Bauffremont before her mar
rage with Prince George Bibesco in 1875
n 40, 900 francs. The expenses of the
! ifth action amounted to $4,000 francs,
and those of the sixth, lately decided
4 at Blois and at Orleans, $4,000 francs.
10 this must be added travelling and
other incidental expenses, 60, 900 francs,
and the costs of the two suits now pend.

.ng total of III, 900 francs, or $142, 200.

Editor Democrat:
The hall of the y. p. c. A. was
crowded last Friday evening, the ooca-
sion being the regular meeting of the
Blue Ribbon Club Of Albany. After
the opening exercises the Club was adj
dressed by Rev. ]. I. Wolfe, whose
remarks, though somewhat lengthy,
were excellent, and listened to with at
tention. A solo by Mr.-Albert Haf-
fenden was received with applause.
Next was the reading of an original
poem by Miss Caruthers, whom we un-
derstand is pupil in our public school.
1t was a production that one much old
er would have reason to he proud ef.
Other exercises followed, consisting OF
music by Miss Piper and speeches by
Rev. NJ. C. Miller and others. At the
business meeting Mr.. John Conner
called attention to the petition present
ed by liquor dealers of this city to the
City Council asking for reduction OF
the license fee. It was thereupon re-
solved that in the opinion OF this Club
the license fee ought to be increased in,
stead of diminished, and President
Humphrey was instructed TO notify the
Mayor and Council Of the action of the
Club, ard to lave It published in
our city papers. The Club then adj
journed to meet Friday evening, Dec.
l2tb, at y sharp. This we can say
was one of the best attended and most
enthusiastic meetings of the season, and
the Temperance people have cause to re-
joieeatthe interest shown by ourcitizens
in the success Of the club. Every one
who reads this is not only invited but
expected to be present at the next
meeting. Blue RIBBoS.
