evidence, ST, j. Il, Smith, o. tha
Towards, was placed on the stand.
He gave il as his understanding that
physicians employed by the Howards
were to devote themselves exclusively
to the work under its directions, and
that private practice was to be
treated the same as charity
practice, no charge to be made except
the regular $40 per day granted from
the treasury Of the association. Mr..
Smith was on the stand at the close Of
this report, and he was to be followed
by Mr.. Finnie, J. H. Edmondsou, +.
+. Bowen, w. j. Smith and
Others, nearly all members of
the Howard society. The testimony,
as far as it went, disclosed the true
inwardness of the epidemic situation
and laid it open to the public view in
a way never before understood. A
verbatim report of the questions, the
answers, the hesitations and the.
sharp lodges of attorneys to
to suppress certain points sought to
be brought out ii it could all be spread
forth to the full would afford rich
pabulum for the public mind to feed
and gossip upon. The Towards were
present in force, the doctors were on
hand in sqads, and various interested
spectators were scattered about the
circuit court room, making up an in
teresting human kaleidoscope. The
learned Judge, when appealed to on
points Of law, and asked by the OPP
posing counsel not to admit as
evidence certain testimony on
record in the form of resolu.
tons pertinent to the subject, gave
his decisions in an impartial manner
much to the admiration of disinterest-
ed persons present. The jury appeared
to a man eager, to an unusual degree,
to catch every sentence, indeed every
word that bore upon the question at
issue. The trial will, doubtless,
occupy the court throughout the day.

MOUNT MELLORAY.
An Interesting and Beautiful
Lecture by Father Ryan.

In a lecture delivered last Sunday
night in Louisville, on Mount Mel
loray aud the Blackwator,' Rev j. P.
Ryan, the Paulist Father, Of New
York, advised every one VINO visited
Ireland to go to Rlarney castle, and
kiss the Blarney stone" There are
two of these stones, and they are very
hard Of access, being situated high up
in the wall of the castle. The lowest
m is the one kissed by travellers, the
highest one being inaccessible, al,
though it 10 asserted that a Yankee
who was visiting the country once de-
termined 10 kiss the stone, and had
himself suspended by his boots, and
by that means accomplished his desire;
but the effort came lear resulting
very different from what was intended
as while he was suspended ono Of his
DootS came on and kissing the blarney
stone came near being the last act Of
his life,
Blarney castle was built in the
fourteenth or fifteenth century, il very
high and tho walls are four feet wide.
Ho then spoke Of the tvV Blackwater
rivers, one situated in the north Of
Ireland aud the other in the south.

the reports from the river are dis
.couraging particularly is this SO
below Helena, Arkansas. The banks
are all submerged. The Arkansas
is running out; for the past week the
rise has been f ON four to eightinches
per day. At SunAower landing,
COahoma county, fear of a break in
the levee is entertained. At Alsatia,
Louisiana, but a few yards more cav

point. Altogether the outlook i
gloomy. The steamer Grand Tower
on her trip up, had to carry passengers
and everything else by eight landings
on account Of the high water.

A YnlnahIe Medicine.

Buchu in various forms has for many
years been one Of the chief articles in the
Materia Medica for the treatment Of GER
tain diseases, among which are chiefly
those affecting the urinary, digestive and
circulatory organs. The difficulty that
was long experienced in obtaining a pre-
paration Of this valuable drug that could
always be relied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led to the
introduction of Helmbold's Extract of
Buchu, which for the last quarter of a
century hes been extensively used both
by physicians and in house and family
practice, and with very gratifying success
This medicine, like every other valuable
thing, has been extensively initiated, and
those who have use for it will do well to
see that they obtain the genuine "Helm-
bold Buchu," tho only pure and reliable
preparation.
