A BRAVE LADY /!
She Endures the Pain of a Severe
Surgical Operation Without
Taking ChIoroform.

Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Greek Locks, Ulster

lose the sight of one of her eyes, through an
accident, and endured painful intlammatory
action therein for two long years the other
eye finally becoming sympatheticslly affect
cd. her general health seriously suffering;
indeed, she was a mere wreck, a walking
skeleton. In this terrible strait she con-
suited DIR. David Kennedy, OF Rondout New
York, who told her at once that the injured
eye must be removed. She quietly but firm
ly said; "All right, Doctor, but don't give
me chloroform. Let my husband sit by my
side during the operation. and l will neither
cry ont or stir" The work was done, and
the poor woman kept her word. Talk of sol
dierly courage. This showed greater pluck
than it takes to face hundred guns. To re-
store her general health and give tone and
strength to the system, DIR. Kennedy then
gave the "Fayorite Remedy, which cleansed
the blood and impaired new life to the long
suffering woman. She rapidly gained health
and strength, and is now we'll. The Favor

A ooRREsPoxpESr of the London DaIy

A CORRESPONDENT of the London Daly
Telegraph gives the particulars Of several
disturbances and riots at Canea and
Gambia, in the island of Crete, between
the Christians and Mussulmans. In
both of these fights the Mahommedans
acted on the aggressive. In the first
instance, at Canea, they murdered a
young Christian. thus bringing about a
rising of the Christians and street
fight, in which several persons were
killed, and which was finally put down
by the gendarmerie with great difficulty.
The second riot was brought about by all
attempt of the Mahommedans to prevent
a celebration at Gambia i'll honor Of the
patron saint of that town. This also
resulted in the death Of several persons.
The Turkish government interfered and
ordered reinforcements oftroops to Crete,
so as to assure peace and tranquility.
The state of affairs in the island, how
ever, is still unsafe, the Teisgraphs cor
respondent declares, and fresh disturb
ances may at any moment occur.

A FEW weeks ago an orderly officer
arrived at the Winter Palace in St. Peters
burg in great haste, and demanded imme-
diate admission to the Presence, stating
that he was the bearer Of the most i'm
portant dispatch to the Car from Gen
eral Gourkho, the Military Governor OF
st. Petersburg. Something in the mans
manner and appearance, although he was
duly uniformed and accoutred, struck
tie aide-de-camp on duty in the imperial
ante-chamber, who, asking the officer TO
wait while he inquired whether or not
the Emperor could receive him, hurried
into an adjoining bureau, and sent
Gourkho an order to come instantly to
the palace. Ten minutes later the Gen.
eral made his appearance in the ante
chamber, where his soi disant orderly
officer was waiting, and, upon being IN
formed Of what had taken place, a once
denounced the trayCs,ied oBsplrator as

the world of voIceless silence, and now
all the music and all the speech that

Barcelona not only has many theaters
for the poor, but possesses two magnifi-
cent theatrical establishments, one Of
which, the Llceo, is said to be the largest
in the world. It can contain 5000 spec.
tatOTs, and does often enough, for BARGE.
Iona Is place where thousands of per-
sons make money easily and spend il in
the same fashion. The city authorities
evidently have taste for laborihg for
the future. The new town is laid out on
a broad, breezy plan like some of our
more important Western cities. Square
succeeds square; promenade follows upon
promenade; the best features OF Vienna
and Paris have been taken. and to them
have been added much that neither of
these places can hope for because of the
harshness of their climate. 1t will take
nalf a century and a population of a
million to bring Barcelona up 10 the
level Of the plan which the present citi-
zcns have imagined. Here We see an
immense vacant space religously pre-
served from the invasion of brick and
mo tar, and We ask what is to be placed
there. The Hippodrome," cries citi-
zen Of Barcelona with enthusiasm.
