CoUGHs.-Brown's Bronchial Troches are used with advantage to alleviate coughs, sore throat, hoarseness and bronchial affections. For thirty years these troches have been in use, with annually increasing favor. They are not new and untried, but having been tested by wide and constant use by nearly an entire generation, they have attained we'll merited rank among the few stable remedies of the age.
 THE THRoAT.-Brown's Bronchial Treches act directly on the organs of the voice. They have an extraordinary effect in all disorders of the throat and larynx, restoring healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold or over exertion of the voice, and produce clear and distinct enunciation. Speakers and singers find the troches useful.
 A cough, cold, catarrh or sore throat re- quires immediate attention, as neglect often times results in some incurable lung disease. Browns Bronchial Troches will almost inva- riably give relief. limitations are offered for sale, many of which are injurious. The gen. uine Browns Bronchial Troches are sold only in boxes. d23 t, th, # 1tw

Gloves
From The AntiquaLy.l

Skins with the hair on were frequently used in the Middle Ages, as, according to
 the passage of Musonians quoted by Casau- bon, they had been by the ancients. They are frequently mentioned as having been worn by husbandmen in England. Casaubon notes the circumstance that the rustics of our day made use of gloves. Teere is nothing in that passage to show that he was speaking of this country he may very possibly have seen ii in France In England, at any rate the Monastery of Bury allowed it's servants two pence apiece for glove-silver in autumn, J

Car. ) and at a later date, in Laneham's account of the entertainment of Queen Elizabeth at Wentworth Castle, 1875, the rural bridegroom had ''a payer of har- vest gloves as a sign of good husbandry.' Upon the coronation of Petrarch at Rome as the prince of poets,'' gloves of otter-skin were put on his hands, the satirical explana-
 tion being given that the poet, like the otter, lives by rapine. The modern ladies glove of four and-tBenty has had it's prototype, for in the fourteenth century the nobility of France began to wear gloves reaching to the elbow. These gloves were, at times, like the more familiar stockings, which they must have much resembled, used as purses. Notwith- standing their length, i was always looked upon as decorous for the laity to take of their gloves in church, where ecclesiastics alone might wear them. The custom still obtains in the Church of England at the Sa- crament, though it is plain that it had not arisen in this connection in the first instance, since in the Roman ritual the communicant

does not handle the consecrated water. It was, perhaps, regarded as proof and sym bol of clean hands, for to this day persons sworn in our courts are compelled to remove their gloves. There is probably, too, some relation between this feeling end curious Saxon law, which forbade the judges to wear gloves while sitting on the bench. The gloves of the judges were, like those of the bishops, mark of their rank. The portraits of the judges, painted by order ot the corporation of London, in the reign of Charles n., and hanging in the courts at Guildhall, represent them with fringed and embroidered gloves It was probably not in reference to the judges that cant term for bribe was 'ta pair of eloves.'' When Sir Thomas More was chancellor he happened to determine a cause in favor of lady named Croaker, who dis played her gratitude by gift of gloves with forty angels in them. Sir Thomas returned the money, with the following letter. 'fMis- tress Since it were against good manners to refuse your New Years gift, l am content to take your gloves, but as for the lining, I ut terly refuse it."

A Soldiers Revenge.

Schoonmaker tells this story of his expert ence at Libby Prison, in the Philadelphia Times. There was one man among my prisoners for whom I had neither respect nor sympathy-the notorious Dick Turner, ex-inspector of the rebel prisons. A thor ough brute was he-the fit fellow of such an inhuman monster as Wirz. When I assumed command of the Richmond prisons there were turned over to me complaints against Turner that in bulk would heap high bushel basket; and when his capture effected ordered that he be incarcerated in the vilest dungeon of the Libby-a front basement cell. Soldiers in the city, many of whom had only been released from the same prison by Rich mond's fall, visited Libby in numbers every day, and the main object of every visit seemed to be to seek out and insult Turner. As inspector of prisons he had scrupled at no baseness, and the days of the Spanish Inquisition were not more black with te rrible deeds than was his regime in Richmond. But not mine is it to here dwell upon his record of infamous viciousness I soon found it unwise to hold him as public curiosity, and issued orders refusing admission to the prison basement. But one day I was personally sought out by a one-armed officer from a Connecticut regiment, who so strongly urged permission to see Dick Turner, that for the once allowed my rule to be waived, and accompanied the visitor myself to the Libby cellar. called the prisoner to the front of the cell, and my one armed companion, advancing, demanded:

Dick Turner, do you know me?"

Don't know me, eh? Have you forgotten how you had me piled with a hundred other Union boys in cell up stairs, and how you kicked me with your heavy boots in the side when was to sick too get up, and how you slashed me over the face with an ox-whip? The scar is there yet" almost hissed the man on the outside of the grated door. Don't you see it?'' The hand was raised as if to point out the long scar that extended across the forehead, temple and cheek; but for no such purpose was the movement. A moment later tightly cIenched fist struck through the little opening in the door full upon the eyes of the prisoner, and Dick Turner sprawled senseless upon the floor of his cell But he was not killed. Never after would I allow any visitor under any circumstances to approach Turner's cell.
