How He was Cured.

From the Chicago Times.
| Why will young men hover around tn

of fair ladies less schoOed in the COLI

time ago handsome, dashing, gallan
| youth-a favorite with the sex-left Chi
cago for Baltimore, where he met a frienC
in high social standing, who, very soon
made him acquainted with some Of the
most beautiful women Of that beauty-pro'
ducing town. Baltimore is famous for its
women and its oysters. The latter are
sometimes out Of season, but the former
never. Consequently there is always some
attraction 10 the Queen of the Chesapeake.
Everybody gives the palm to Baltimore S
belles-that is, everybody who has not got
a sweetheart somewhere else. Our friend
from Chicago attended a wedding recently
in the Monumental City, and there met a
bewitching maiden, rare and radiaants
Eve ere Adam claimed her. The usual
CommOnplaces led to Il conversation that
became somewhat significant. What with
her pcarly teeth, luminous eyes, graceful
form and luxuriant hair, not to speak OF
the winning tones OF her voice, the Chicago
youth became quickly fascinated, and was
imprudent enough to express himself upon
the question OF danger to bachelor peace
in city that bOasted so many lovely
daughters. Of course, when this kind OF
language Is addressed to a woman 1t is but
natural to expect that she will appropriate
the spirit Of it to herself The damsel lis.
tened quietly, and, at the end of the dis.
sertation, said she knew the colonel's
friend and himself were equally afflicted
with the tender passion, and that IN the
morning she would send the former
recipe that would cure the disease. No
more was thought about the matter until
the subjoined communication, in the young
lady's handwriting, but not signed, ar.
rived at the hotel where the friends were
stopping: "An intalible remedy for the
passion love-First, you must open the
brain OF consideration and let out the blood
of immoderate affection. Then administer
the following prescription, viz: Take of |
the blossoms of sound Judgment, one
handful; OF patience, FIVE handfuls; one
handful Of the root Of understanding;
twelve ounces Of resolution, prudence and
discretion; five ounces of dislike and re.
sentiment. Let them simmer together in |
the brain eight and forty hours; then |
strain from it the dregs Of melancholy INTO |
one spoonful of iorgetiulness; sweeten a |
dose of the former with the sugar of con-

this document on the lovers was not soul |
inspiring. They say that such philosophy |

He WAS On Hand,

From the Rccand Courier.
IL was dark in the depot, one day last
week, when the evening train came in.
An elderly farmer was backed up against
the partition, watching, in openmouthed
wonder, the big putting engine and the
y3llOw.covered cars as they discharged
their passengers, when Il handsome young
girl in u scal.skin cloak dashed forward,
and, throwing herself upon the honest
granger's manly breast. imprinted a kiss
upon his sunburned cheek, and exclaimed:
"You dear old pa, | knew you would
be waiting for me! And how's mother,
and how's Jenny, and how's John-and
oh! I'm so glad to get back-and where's
my ttunk-and OIL pa, you take the
check and let's hurry"
The granger was old and kind of dried
up. and he had never known what it was
to have wife, much less daughter. He
mistrusted the young lady in the seal-silk-
sack had made mistake, but, instead Of
Of stammering, and hemming, and haw-
ing, he came gallantiy up 10 the scratch,
and throwing both arms around the fair
creature, he made up bis mind to be a
father 10 her or die in tho attempt. I'm
printing kiss like the report of pistol
on her cheek, he enthusiastically ejacu.
lated:
Oh, yer mothers well, an John an
Henry (smack) an Jane an Susan
(smack, smack, an Horace an Belindy
an Calvin (Smack) an Joshua an Peter
lsmack, smack, oh, they're all smart an
hearty an"
BY the time the young lady's friends
could gel to her, she had slid into stony
faint, and they had to lug her home in a
hack, while the aged granger, as he finish
cd the third round with her outraged
young man, and sauntered out of the
depot, leaving him with bad eye and a
ruptured coat, chuckled to himself:

Washing the Feet of Saints.

From the Philadelphia Tines
The church Of God, Il sort of dcnomina.
tional compromise between the Methodists
and Baptists, at Begks street and German.
town avenue, was the scene of a peculiar
ceremony last night. 1t had been adver-
tiSed that the washing OF the saints feet
and the Lords supper" would come off at
s o'clock. At that hour the small edifce
was crowded. The Rev. J. NJ. Corvell,
pastor, after a few preliminary remarks,
announced that they would now proceed
in accordance with the ordinance to wash
the saints feet, and requested the congrc-
cation to sing some familiar hymn while
those who were to thus give testimony
to their faith came forward. Twelve or
fifteen persons of both sexes rose and went
forward, the women taking seats before
the alter on one side, while the men took
seats on the other. Two or three women
then with basins in their hands came for
ward, while like number OF men on the
other side did the same thing, and, taking
of the shoes of those before them, proceed
ed TO gently was their feet, women doing
this service for the women and men for
the men. The minister then related the
authority from which this ceremony was
derived and exhOrted the saints to strive
to walk in the path of HIM who set the
example to them. As soon as the washing
was completed, the feet were dried with
ordinary coarse towels, the stockings and
shoes replaced, and in the midst Of another
hymn the saints took their seats. After
wards the sacrament of the Lords Supper
was administered.

The London Lancet gives some particu-
lars Of Investigations at Queens hospital,
Birmingham, by Dir. John Clay, touching
a new method Of treating cancer. A study
Of the pathology of cancer led him to the
opinion that n carbohydrate of some kind
might prove beneficial, and for several
reasons he decided that Chan turpentipe
might prove the most suitable. Mr.. Clay
reports several cases in which remarkable
benefits evidently resulted, with every
prospect of permanent cure. The new
remedy was administered in pills, as fol-
lows: Chan turpentine, sly grains; flower
OF sulphur, four grains; to be made into
two pills, to be taken every four hours. In
4 case where The turpentine could not be
digeSted IN pills it was made into an
emulsion. An ctherCl solution Of Chan
turpentne was prepared by dissoying one
ounce OF the turpentinG in two ounces OF
pure sulphunic ether (arHsthetic) OF this
solution, 3 o.. solution Of tragacanth, 4

daily. 1t is advisable to discontinue the
remedy for few days after ten or twelve
weeks constant administration, and then
to resume it as before.
Commenting on the effects of the new
medicine, DR.. Clay says: "The turpentne
appears to act upon the periphery of the
growth with great yigor, causing the
SPEEDY disappearance OF what is usually
termed the cauCerous infltation, and
thereby arresting the further development
of the tumor. 1t produces equally efficient
results on the whole mass, seemingly de-
stroying its vitality, but more slowly. 1t
appears TO destroy all the cancer cells,
leaving the vessel to become suddenly
atrOphled, and the frmer structures grad
ually to gain comparatively normal con-
dltOn. Ii is a most efficient anodyne,
causing IN entire cessation of pain in a
lew days, an far more cifectually than
any seaatiN, have ever given. In the
cases have described no sedativc was em-
pIoyed in any instance, altt Ough in some
cases, where great pain had existed pre-
viously t. commencing the treatment,
large doses had been given. Whether this
arrest OF pain arises from the death of the
tumor, or is due to there being no longer
irritation of the sentient nerves lin con-
sequence Of the tension being withdrawn
by the removal of the cells, the fact is the
same"

credit. This is not the first time the Re.
publican party has strengthened the pub
lie credit. In 1869 they passed an act
that the bonds be paid in coin. If "them
bonds" were payable in coin what need
was there for such an act, and if "them
bonds were not payable in coin, what
right had they to pass such lawP In
1870 they strengthened the public credit
by making the bOndholders preferred cred
itors, by making certain the fneness and
weight OF the dollar in which they were to
be paid-that is, if congress should scale
down the dollar of the people they were to
be paid the dollar marked down in their
bond. In 1878 they strengthened the pub
lie credit by demonetizing silver. Now
they are strengthening the public credit
by limiting the coinage of silver. Every
time they have strengthened the public
credit they have made themselves richer
and the people poorer This strengthen
ing the public credit by impoverishing the
masses has gone far enough.
What strange fnanciering to limit the
coinage of silver so as to pay the public
creditor bonus. Common sense and
common honesty would dictate to pay in
silver when silver Is the cheapest and in
gold when gold is the cheapest. This has
been the practice from the foundation Of
the gov mment, until 1873, and no harm
ever came by it.
Unit within the last twenty years silver
and gold stood equal before the law in
most leading nations, and the volume OF
money increased or diminished autOmati
cally as the sum Of the two metals in
creased or diminished. Those periods IN
which new mines were discovered were
periods Of prosperity, while, on the other
hand, when the precious metals were pro.
duCed in diminishing quantities, the torch
of civilization burned darkly. Within
the last thirty years the tundholding
power Of the civilized world has sought to
enrich itself by blotting out of existence
one.hTlf Of the coin money of the wo'll,
thereby doubling the purchasing power OF
the other half aud confiscating one-half of
all other property.
When England demonetzad silver, fifty
years ago, she was unharmed by It, Je-
cause other nations readily absorbed Eng
lands silver; but when Germany de-
silver, France and the Latin
nations limited its coinage, and the bank
ing ring of the United States stabbed the
silver dollar in the dark. Gold became
the god and tyrant, and silver caStaway.
The paper money that was founded on
gold and silver was contracted to gold
alone, and values depressed the world
over.
The free coinage of silver in this country
would double the volume Of the worlds
money that could not be redeemed out of
existence, would pay the public creditor
just as VI agreed, and give values a per-
manent upward tendency the world over.

A little child in Jacksonville, Fla, was
in the habit Of playing upon the piazza Of

bird had its nest in the orange trees, and
the child would throw crumbs to the bird
daily. After while the child was taken

to perch upon the slat Of the window
