On recent visit to DIR. Keck's Office.
we there had the pleasure of meeting
Mrs. P. S. Ecker, daughter of DIR. VIM.
Jolly, of Washington county, and now
the wife of well-known citizen of Nc
Minnville. This lady stated that for
three months she had been afflicted with
that terrible disease, cancer of the womb.
After being treated by one physician
without receiving any benefit, and the
cancer in the meantime rapidly enlarging
until it attained the size of mans fist.
causing the most excruciating pains, she
consulted several physicians of high
standing in the profession, who, upon
examination of her case pronounced il
incurable, and said that she must die.
Believing that her speedy demise was
certain she accordingly made the neces-
sary pre-mortuary arrangement of her
affairs. But her father, who is also an
old physician, advised her 90 place herseli
under DR.. Keck's treatment, which, with
very slight hopes of recovery, she con-
sented to do. In about six weeks from
that time the DIR. removed the cancer
from her, root and branch, restoring hel
to husband, family and friends; and she
expresses herself as being now in the en-.
joyment of excellent health.
Through gratitude to the Doctor whom
she regards as the savior of her life, and
for the benefit of those who are now, ol
may yet be, similarly afflicted, she desires
the publication of the foregoing-a re-
quest to which we cheerfully accede.

fourteen years had wood the lassic

times when they've made up their

for fourteen years, and he talked
about the weathersaa the cattle,

WISE SAYINGS.

Rivalry is only feared by inferior
minds.
Books are the welcome companions Of
the lonely.
A moment Of eternity will serve to
solve the riddles of all time.
Peace has made greater conquests than
war has ever achieved.
The handspring of mans action is hid
den from view, as is the handspring OF
watch.
Womens rights are the rights that
God has given them, to be looked up to,
respected and beloved by men.
misunderstanding are frequently the
cause of numberless dissensions, that
often could be rectifed by frankness.
There is wisdom in battling boldly
with an adverse faith; there is deeper
wisdom in quiet submission to the in
evitable.
The patriot is he who obeys his coun-
try's laws, and If they are oppressive and
unjust serves earnestly and in proper
limits to rectify them.
The world is beehive in which we
are all hunting for honey; the few are
successful, but the many only receive
stings and pains in the effort.
Hope thrills the heart and nerves the
arm to heroic exertions; despair paralyzes
| the soul, benumbs the brain, and makes
of its victim an unburied corpse.
Joy has swift wings, and but briefly
tarries with us ere she resumes her
fight, but sorrow, with plumage black,
and weary wing, long delays her depar-
ture.
| There is fame that endures and a
fame that is transient; one is written
with indelible ink on the pages of his
tory, and one is traced by faint pencil
marks, that Time, the greatest eraser,
soon obliterates.
On the high seas of life all cannot ex
pect to be captains, but the humbiest
member of crew, if h$ attends faithfully
to duty, will receive due compensation
in the log book of eternity.
1t is an unpleasant task to chide /
friend for faults, and. though the un
pleasant duty should be performed, if W.
have true friendship for the erring, i
should be done in the kindest and most
: delicate manner.
A Denison, Tex, girls foot was badly
wounded, resulting in lockjaw. A ply
sician was called, and terror at the sigh
, of the edged instrument produced a re
action, and the girl was well before any
thing could be done for her.
When gifts and tokens of remem
brance, chosen with appropriateness ana
, and rendered in kindly spirit, are re
ceived with true appreciation and regard
, there are two hearts made happy. S,
let us in all our actions endeavor t,
please others while please ourselves.

Sargent i. PrentIss.

A Broadway house is soon to issue
new edition OF the memoirs OF Sargent
S. Prentiss, originally edited by his
brother, and published almost q quarter
of a century ago. Few persons OF this
generation know anything OF Prentiss, who
died in 1850, and was in many respects .
very remarkable man. He was consid-
cred. in his day, the most eloquent orator
in the South, and he probably was such,
many persons ranking him as superior to
Henry Clay in his best estate. he was,
like so many men who have distinguish
ed themselves in the South, native to and
educated in the North, having been born
in Portland, Me-. been graduated at
Bowdoin, and studied law at Gorham, in
that State, before he reached his majority
he went South to seek his fortune, and
resolved to settle at Natchez, Miss,
twenty-one. Three years later he re-
moved to Vicksburg, and gained high
reputation as an advocate. He was sent
to the State Legislature and to Congress;
but, soon dissatisfied with politics, he
devoted most of his time to his profess
sion. He was Wing, and. as candi-
date for Presidential elector, stumped
| the State for General Harrison. Strongly
opposed to repudiation, and using all
his influence against it, he was so dis
| gusted with the course of Mississippi
! that he quilted the State and went to
New Orleans TO reside, returning only
| during his last illness to Natchez, where
he died in his forty second year, his fame
as an orator was widespread, and the
memoirs contain many specimens of hi
eloquence. Henry Clay, writing of hin
after his death, said: ''He was distin

THE CoAlafEsfoRATIoN OF PoMPEu's De-
sTRUcTIoN EIGHTEEN HUNDRED YEARS
Aeo.-The destruction of Pompeii
eighteen centuries ago, was recently
commemorated in the presence of an i'm
from Italy, and of scientific men from
every country in the world. The wealth
er was beautiful, and the guests had q
delightful day to wander among the
ruins and examine the relics which have
been removed from the ancient city.
From pavilion erected in the ancient
Basilica, Professor Huggleri, the director
of the excavations, delivered an address,
explaining the newest mode of prosecut-
ing discoveries, and giving an account of
some of the more important discoveries
that have been made since the excavations
were commenced. He attempted to de-
scribe to the guests assembled in the
city as it must have appeared eighteen
hundred years ago, and referred to the
account of the destruction of the city and
Herculaneum as recounted by the young
er Pliny in his famous letter to Tacitus,
giving an account of the death of his
uncle, the elder Pliny. Count Guam
ciali and Mgr. Mirabelli then declaimed
Latin verses, commemorating the events
After visit to the ruins excavations
were begun under Signor Huggleri's
superintendent. The spectators eagerly
watched the process. Stratum after
stratum was removed. In the first layer
vases were discovered, in the second a
mass of cinders, which gradually reveal
ed several bronze vases of various sizes,
two of them perfectly exquisite silver
handles, and so many bracelets, brooches,
rings, coins, kitchen utensils and
earthen vases. Under them were found
wooden beams and sacks of partially
caleined corn. The objects that were
discovered will enrich the museums oi

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs.-The want oi
a reliable book by which to calculate the
value of wheat in this market when
quoted at any price in the Liverpool and
London markets has long been felt, bui
which is now happily met in the
Wheat Dealers Guide" compiled by
J. r. Parish, manager of the Merchants
Exchange, this city, and which he
has arranged to sell at the exceedingly
low price of 25 cents per copy-cash to
accompany orders. 1t is very important
to any and all who sell wheat to be able
in less than five minutes to tell (as they
can from this book the price of wheat
in this market when based on English
prices, which govern the markets on this
coast. Calculations are warranted thor

THINK BEFORE YOU SPESD.-Do you
really need the article? It is probably
pretty trihe in dress, in furniture; but
what solid benefit will it be to you? Or
is it some luxury for the table, that you
can do as we'll without? Think, there
fore, before you spend your money. Or
you need new carpet, new sofa, new
chairs, new bedstead. or new dress; you
are tempted to buy something little
handsomer than you had intended, and,
while you hesitate, the dealer says to
you, tits only trife more, and see
how far prettier it is. !" VIII you be

them, and their only permanent effect Is
to consume your means. 1t is by such
little extravagances, not much separately,
but ruinous in the aggregate, that the

paratively poor. The first lesson to learn
is to deny yourself unless expenses; and
the first step toward learning this lesson

Farm, Notes

To cure scab in sheep, rub it with
plain petroleum with sponge three
times a week. Dogs can be cured OF
mango the same way.
Cooking soda, dissolved in water
to saturation, is as fatal to potato
bugs as Paris green. The Newbury-
port Herald knows this to be fact.
Land laid down with clover is bet
ter than money in bank, drawing
more interest than any bank can pay

As general thing it is cheaper
| and more convenient to get seeds OF
the regular seedsmen than to save
them. But if any are saved, let them
always be of the earliest, fairest and
best specimens.
A correspondent of the Massachu-
sets Pfo,omdn has had continued
success, year after year, in raising
plums, where hens were confined in
the yard where the trees were
planted. The hens ate the curculio,
he supposes.
1t is stated that Indian corn
charred into charcoal will make val
liable condlment for poultry. It. will
put the hens in good health, and
cause a general toning up of the sys-
tenn that will be seen in more and
| better eggs.
Gardening is regularly and practi.
cally taught In more than 10000
primary schools in France. Every
school house has its garden, and
teachers must be not only good
gardeners, but qualified to teach
horticulture, or they cannot pass ex-
animation.
One of the plainest indications of
unsuccessful farming is to see manure
going to waste or unemployed.
When this is to be seen there is no
need looking beyond the stables and
yards to find out the condition of the
farm or to judge Of the success of its
owner.
1t will be found desirable, when
horses are washed, to use a soft
sponge and water in which some cay
bolic soap has been dissolved. This
cools the skin, assists perspiration,
removes the strong pungent smell,
greatly refreshes the animals, and
drives away flies.

AFTER Thirty 1EARS.-A Kansas City
paper says: Giles Paris, aged colored
man who came to Wyandotte one Sunday,
tells quite remarkable story of finding
his daughter after separation of thirty
years. He states that about thirty years
ago. he now being man OF nearly
seventy years old, his daughter, then a
young girl, was taken from him at Lex
ingtom, Mo-, when she was sold to some
parties going South. One Sunday, not
long ago; he came to this city, and while
walking up Main street saw a young
colored woman coming towards him,
and. although q quarter of a century had
passed over his head since he had seen
her, still he recognized his daughter. and
upon going up and speaking to her found
that he was correct. and that It was his
daughter Jane who stood before him. It
is needless to state that the reunion was
a happy one. His daughter had been
working in this city for some years,
while he was living at Big Stranger, COM
paratively few miles distant.
