WEST lOWNSHEND. VT
Mr.. EDITOR: Having read in your
paper reports of the remarkable cures
OF catarrh, | am induced t. tell what
know about catarrh," and | fancy the
snuff and 'inhaling. tube makers (mere
dollar grabbers) would be glad il they
could emblazon q similar cure in the
papers. For rs years l suffered with
catarrh. The nasal passage became
completely closed. Snuff, dust, ASH
es.' 'inhaling. tubes, and sticks,
wouldn't work, though &C intervals l
would sniff up the 50 called catarrh
snuff, until l became q valuable tester
for such medicines l gradually grew
worse, and no one can know how much
| suffered or what miserable being l
was. My head ached over my eyes SO
that l was confined to my bed for many
successive days, suffering the most in
tense pain, which at one time lasted
continuously for 16S hours. All sense
of smell and taste gone, sight and hear.
ing impaired, body shrunken and weak
ened, nervous system shattered, and
constitution broken, and was hawking
aud splitting sey en- -eighths of the time.
| prayed for death to relieve me Of my
suffering. A favorable notice in your
paper Of DIR. Sage's catarrh Remedy in.
duced me 10 purchase a package. aud
use it with DIR. Pierce Nasal Douche.
which applies the remedy by hydros-
tatic pressure, the olly way compatible
with common sense. Well. Mr.. Editor,
it did not cure me in three fourths Of .
second, nor 10 one hour or month, bat
in less than eight minutes l was re-
licved. and in three months entirely
cured, and haze remained 50 for over
sixteen months. While using the Ca
turh Remedy, l used DIR. PIERCE
Golden Medical Discovery to purify my
blood aud strengthen my stomach. i
also kept my liver active and bowels
regular By the use ofhis Pleasant Pur-
rative Pellets. Ifmy experience will
induce other sufferers TO seek the same
means Of relief. this letter will have
answered its purpose. Yours truly.

An impairment Fellow.
from the London Times.1

The reform of the festive table has ex-
tended to the ordinary meal of the we'll
TODD household, and in still greater
degree to the outer circle of bachelors
and other people, compelled to ask them
selves late In the day, "Where shall [
dine % They can get at a hundred
places within reach, for 5s. a dinner
which half acentury ago would have left
little change out of a sovereign, and
would not have been SO good. So little
was the class considered, and so little
charity had the world for the class that
could not begin charity at home, that
wherever they went they found them
selves penned off from the civilized world
by partitions too high to be looked over.
Foryears and years people went to the
low, dark, stuffy coffee room of hotel
or " o. la mode beef" shop and devoured
their solitary meal without seeing or
hearing their neighbors. A famous Lon
don physician used to relate that he had
long gone almost daily to the "Shades :"
near London bridge, to rest awhile and
drink glass of wine from the wood. For
many years he had taken it as a matter
Of Course that he must not intrude on
oHe privacy Oh tne gentleman VINO, as 1t
happened, invariably selected the next
stall. But sympathy itself suggested
certain curiosity. One day the warmth
OF the weather and the generosity of the
liquor broke the long spell, and, raising
his voice, he said, 'tSir, [ have had the
pleasure of taking my VINE next to you
now for u years. May / venture to ask
my friends name ?" A hollow voice re-
piled, ''Sir, you're very impertinent
fellow" Such was the rule of coffee
house society In those days. A social
mael, says Roman writer, is feast of
the gods; solitary meal is the act of

The Stupidity of Servants.

I have had in my household, writes a
correspondent of the London Times,
an undernurse, who, upon the family s
leaving town for short holiday, was en-
joined to see that the birds in the nurs-
cry (canaries) were well supplied with
sand. When we came back we fonnd
them all starved to death. She had Civ
en- them sand, but, alas! no seed. This
was a girl from the country, who, one
would think, would have known what
to feed birds; otherwise one does not ex-
pect much intelligence from Arcadia.
When our last importation Can under
housemaid) "turned on the gas in the
upper apartments as she was directed to,
but omitted to light it, I thought it very
excusable; she had not been accustomed
to gas. On the other hand, when her
mistress told her to look to the fire"
of certain room, contend that that
fire had right to be kept in. It was
not SO, however, and when the lady in
quired, "Why did you not look to it, as
[ told you % the girl replied, " We'll,
did, mum; the door was open and I look
ed at the fire every time I passed." She
appeared to attach some sort of igneous
power to the human eye.

A Cats Curious Habit,

The night police of Raleigh, n c.,
have queer companion on their rounds,
it being a cat. Its peculiarities beng
thus described by the Observer: ''For
two years the cat has made it her duty to
go with the officers every night and fol-
low right at their heels just as far as
they go. In wet weather or dry, or no
matter how cold the night is, the animal
makes part of the police force Dur
ing the day she sleeps in the guard
house, but as soon as o'clock comes,
and the night force go on duty, she is all
alertness and attention. If, in making
the rounds, dog makes a sally from q
yard, or barks loudly, the prudent cat
goes around the square and catches up
with her companions again. She is a
very sedate beast, never INDUCES in
capers or wailings to the moon, but goes
about her self-imposed duties with q
business-like air and precision.

An Acoustic Trial,

A vagrant ass, says the San Antonio
Herald, stood beside the track of the
Sunset Railway at the depot this morn
ing; an engine moved slowly up; it stop
ped within few feet of the ass, and the
engineer blew one of those terrible
screams, prolonged and ear-piercing;
such blast as makes a sleeping Miller
tie dream of the day of Judgment. Did
the ass scare? Not worth cent! Did
he shake the sloth from his limbs and
speed away like the asses of Bassorah,
faster than the Bedouin courser run,
back to the chaparral. No he didn't.
He turned one ear towards the engine
just as a deaf man uses his ear trumpet,
and caught every particle of the sound.
And when the steam-blown whistle ceas-
ed its notes and all the echoes died away,
the animal Strengthened out his neck,
opened his mouth, and in voice that
deafened all the railroad men and caused
the freight clerk to drop his pen, roared:

Miles and Mile-StOnes.
TF'rom Notes and Queries.l


The mile is not an original English or
Teutonic measure of length, but was
borrowed from the Romans, with con-
siderable amount of latitude in It's appli-
cation. All our native land measures
start with the perch. This has been
fixed by statute at s. yards, but original
ly it differed in various parts of the
country. The Lancashire perch was =
yards, the Cheshire perch yards, the
Irish perch 7 yards. Forty of these on
end constituted a &c furrow-long, or
furlong, and s furlongs were mile.
Taking the standard perch at 81 yards,
this makes the English mile 1, 760 yards
The Roman mile was 1000 PAGES, of
nearly feet each equaling 1,614 yards.
The English mile of /, 760 yards was the
nearest approximation which our unit of
measurement could give to the Roman
"naitte possuaa. The mile was fixed
at ], 760 yards by statute of Elizabeth.

A Valuable Testimonial.

The Bishop Potter testimonial, pre-
sented to the bishop by his diocese, on
which the workmen of Tiffany & Co..
were engaged over q year, is considered
the finest piece of the kind ever finished
IN this country. It is casket or box
about sixteen inches long, nine inches
vide and nine inches in height. Silver.
gold and steel were used, and the meth
dds employed were chiefly repousse, and
damaskeening. The main part of the
casket is oxidized silver. The cluster on
the lid, consisting of cross, q bible. q
dove, and an olive branch, is of gold, and
the band which extends around the base
and forms the lower border, and the four
trefoils on the lids, are of steel damask-
eened with gold Steel is also used in
the handles. The design is just one
third the size of the ark of the covenant
as described in the Old Testament. The
New Testament and the Pentacost are
symbolized by the dove and tongues of
fire, and the Celtic cross indicates the
early Christian Church in England. In
the first medallion on the front is pic
tured the conservation in Lambeth
palace chapel, by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, of Bishops White and Pro
vost, the first bishops sent to America.
Two other medallions contain views of
Christ Church, Philadelphia, and old
Trinity Church, New York; and fourth
represents ST. Johns chapel, where
Bishop Potter read his report of his
twenty-five years ofservice to the church.
On the large center medallion in front is
the head of the bishop in gold, and on
