Some unprincipled dealers, because they
could see few cents more profit, have been
guilty of Offering worthless substitutes for
the only original and genuine Sulphur Soap
--Glenn's by name. Therefore the public
should guard against this deception, and
always ask for "Genn's Sulphur Soap" by
its full name, and take no other.
Read the following evidence from a
highly respectable source:
DETROIT, MICH, Aug. 6, 1879.
G. N. CRITTENToN, Eso.-Dear Sir: I have
travelled for three years for Messrs Charles
Scribner's Sons, Publishers New York, and
desire to inform you that | have used your
incompatible "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" ex.
clusively for about four years; also have
recommended 1t to very many persons, and
my constant experience has been that it
possesses all the medical advantages that
you claim for it. All to whom have re-
commended it say as well as myself, that
1T deserves its established reputation as the
best and most efficacious Sulphur Soap that
can be used for all skin cleansing, as well
as toilet purposes. Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeavored to sub
stitute other kinds of Sulphur Soap for
Glenn's-saying they were "just as good"
but having myself tried other kinds, find
none are so good or so beneficial as the
genuine Sulphur Soap stamped "Glenn's, "
which also l have learned to observe always
bears the name of &C. N. Crittenton, Pro-
prietor," on the packet.
Yours truly,
G. r. z. DURANp.

A CHANGE DEMANDED,

The British people, or at least the Brit
ish press, begin to discover some of the
evils Of midnight legislation. The people
of America have realized the question
able blessings of these legislative satur-
MALTA for these many years, both in, the
State and National law-making bodies.
Late sessions or unreasonably long ses-
sions are more the exception than the
rule in this country, and only occur dur
ing the pendency of some exciting con-
troversy--when no substantial harm is
done, only to the habits of the members
or else Just at the close of the session,
when good deal of harm is done by the
hasty manner in which bills are passed.
There is generally more rascally bills
more jobbery, and more successful lobby
ing done in the last six hours of session
than during the whole preceding term.
Late hours are, however, the rule in
the British House of Commons. The
sittings, commencing after the late din
ner hour Of high life, are necessarily
prolonged to the morning hours; and,
as large number of members, although
not actually trundled to their seats in a
whcelbarrow, as Mr.. Pickwick was trans
ported to the pound, are very much in
the condition of that distinguished man
after trying to discover whether any
lemon peel had been put in the milk
punch, the midnight legislation very
often becomes turbulent and altogether
unsatisfactory to the enlightened Briton.
The chief reason given for such late
meetings is the convenience Of legal men,
bcrs, who are in Court all day, and of
business men, who have their private
affairs to attend to during ordinary busi-
ness hours; which reasons would seem to
be anything but satisfactory to the pub
lie, who have right to demand the un-
divided energies of its servants.
The movement now being agitated in
England to restrict all Legislative action
to fixed business hours should be taken
up in this country. These midnight
carnivals that disgrace the closing hours
of Legislative bodies in America should
be put an end to. If these bodies will
not reform themselves by fixed rules
they should be reformed by outside pres
sure or Constitutional Amendments that
would reach the case. Delirious legisla-
ton should be made impossible.

HoBoKEN, N. j. Sept s.-There is much
excitement here among certain class
over an alleged miracle by one of the
monks of West Hoboken Monastery.
These monks are famous for their miracu-
lous healing power. In the latter part of
last June Mrs, DAWN, aged twenty eight
uf Clinton street, New York, called upon
CITY Physician Saltonstall there. for treat
ment of cholera ,morbus. The Doctor pre-
scribed and he heard nothing more from
her till she was prostrated by heat in the
early part of July. Later she suffered from
congestion of the valves of the heart and
the vocal channels were paralyzed. Soon
her feet became paralyzed, and in few
days she could not move at all and lost all
feeling.
The paralysis continued to increase until
it reached the hips The doctor thought
the case was becoming hopeless, and the
woman felt she was about to die. She was
taken to a hospital, placed in an arm chair
bv window, and did not move from that
place for a month. No. relief came, and
three weeks ago to-day she WIS placed upon
a bed-tick and driven to West Hoboken
Monastery. She was carried into the
chapel and Father Victor Immediately be-
gan the form of prayer usual on such occa-
sions. standing with a relic in his hand,
which is alleged to be bone from the body
Of St. Vincent De Paul. This was encased
in glass frame. After praying some time
he rubbed this on a portion OF her limbs.
She Immediately, she says, felt the effects
of the miraculous agency. She went home
and grew stronger. She told DR.. Salton-
stall that she firmly believes in the miracu-
lous power OF the relic. She walked a
considerable distance yesterday to thank
the monks. Dr. Saltonstall now wishes the
medical fraternity to investigate her case.

quent cases pillaged by thieves, the
oracular New York papers are apprisng
their readers that rogues have knack OF
keeping posted as to places left unten-
nted, and which contain valuables worth
stealing, They even go so far as to
recommend the closing of back kitchen
entrances while families are absent for
the season, the fastening of shutters and
the boiling of doors. This intelligence
comes 50 apropos, and is withal 50 useful
after the damage has been done, that we
suggest the propriety of the returned
pleasure-seekers of New York meeting in

to pass proper resolutions and arrange tc
