Walked without Clutches for
twOyearss He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
DIication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
al a tme to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. As to what
I suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dlspelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. used bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use OF the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split a cord OF wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
sucha sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how
have been, [ will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand
L was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when / moved upon
clutches, or tried to stand
without thems I could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all but have not used
any for two months I now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-fve
pounds in flesh. But must tell you it seems
almost like dream You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

fingers had lost all their strength; and even
when Macdonald himself clasped the tiny
arms about his neck their hold gave way d.
Iectly.
What was to be done? A few minutes
more and the numblng colds of that dismal
place would make the rescuer as pOwerless
as him whom he came to rescue. But Gene
raj Macdonald was not the man to be so
easily beaten. Tearing off his sash, and knot
ting one end of it to the rope, he bound
Pierre and himself firmly together with the
other, and then gave the signal to draw up.
And when the two came swinging up
into the daylight once more, and the soldiers
saw their pet still alive and unhurt, cheer
upon cheer rang cut, rolling far back along
the line, till the very mountains themselves
seemed to be rejoicing.
"We've been under fire and under snow
together" said Macdonald, chatting the
boys cold hands tenderly, land nothing
shall part us two after this, so long as we
both live"
And the General kept his word. Years
later, when the great wars were all over,
there might be seen walking in the garden
of quiet country house in the South of
France a stopping, white haired old man,
who had once been the famous Marshal Mac
donald; and he leaned for support upon the
arm Of tall, black-mustached, soldier-like
fellow, who had once been little Pierre, the
drummer.

boston Cor. of the New York Tribunel
The leaders of the movement feel greatly
cheered by the result of their winters work,
Notwithstanding the hostile decisions of the
Legislature, for the cause which used to be
sneered at and contemptuously thrust aside is
now listened to and discussed in a friendly
and respectful way and growing inclination
is visible on the part of the law makers and
the press to allow women increased political
rights. The result of the spring town meet
ings has shown a condition of affairs in the
State at large quite similar to that prevailing
in the city election last November. In the
towns where the women voted a decorum
quite unusual and admirable was shown. Ev-
cry effort was made to make the new voters
comfortable. The town halls and ward-rooms
were cleaned up in their honor, and the
clouds of tobacco smoke and the expectoration
of the juice of the chewed weed-features to
which generations of male voters have be-
come ACKNOWLEDGMENT for once conspicuous
by their absence. 1t can not be denied that
the privilege ofvotiDg for School Committees
was not as generally exercised as could be ex-
pected, although the polling was large when
the difficulties and the strangeness of the
new law are taken into consideration. Much
trouble was caused in some places by what

that woman desiring to vote shall pre-

both real and personal" its intent evidently
being confined to the taxable property as in
the case of men. Many women neglecting to
give an account of all their property, whether
taxable or not, were thus DISTINGUISHED and
were not permitted to vote, and other dis
ordinations were here and there made against
them. AS rule, however, they were treated
with great respect and fairness. To carry on
more completely this work thus begun, an
Association called the Massachusetts School
Suffrage Association" has recently been
formed under direction of Miss Abby May,
with headquarters in this city, to extend in
formation regarding the new law, and to in
crease the interest in the movement, and fort
nightly meetings are held with occasional
gatherings IN other parts of the State. The
Association has nointention beyond thatabove
mentioned, the broader principles of woman
suffrage being left to those more ambitious
reformers of whom Mrs. Stone, is the ener-
getic leader. These latter workers feel much
encouraged by the condition and prospects
of the movement in other States as we'll as in
Massachusetts. In view of these facts, there
seems no reason to suppose that the cause
will languish.

"Like other passions, that of usury is
strong in death; and dying usurer is known
to have exclaimed when, in his last moments
a cooling draught was presented to him in a
silver goblet, Il couldn't lend you what you
ask upon it-nothing like it, upon my word. ,
There is one instance on record, and only
one, of usurer repenting during his last i'll
ness, and moved by the exhortations of his
priestly confessor promising to restore the
immense sums Of money which he had un-
justly acquired. His daughters, however,

Dogs who Mind a Bell.

Lord Marlborough, or Mr.. Marlborough, as
we would call him in this country (for we
are plain people here in America), owns a
great number of hounds and keeps them on
the Isle of Wight, which is just south of
England. These dogs all live in one house, or
kennel" and sleep in one bed. A good big
one it must be. Over the bed hangs bell,
and if the keeper, who lives near by, hears
any sharling quarreling, cross words,
he Just rings the bell, and down they lie, still
as mice, for they know The whip will very
soon follow the bell, and so they very wisely
hush up their little disputes and go to sleep.
All this big family of dogs have names, and
when the keeper calls the roll they each walk
out as quietly and orderly as boys and girls
in school. Think of what lot of food is
needed for their breakfast and supper In
their store-room you will see two or three
quarters of horse beef hanging and great
bins or sacks of nice oatmeal and barley
meal. For their soup old horse is killed
twice week. The oatmeal and barley meal
is scalded and made into kind of pOrridge,
and everything about their house and yards
and cookery is perfectly nice and clean.

Educated women have a wide sphere.
There is, indeed, some discussion as to its
exact bounds. Some doubt, for instance
whether they have a legitimate function in
the pulpit. Our own view is that character
and ability are Gods chart of duty. But
whatever may be decided in regard to the
pulpit, there is one field where educated
women are in demand. That is the home
The educated woman is the best wife, the
best mother, the best housekeeper the best
economist. The coming men" could afford
to pay all the expenses of full training for
their future wives, merely for the greater
good they will receive from them. In these
days we pity theignorant mother Six years
of hard study are invested, if for nothing
more than to be able to answer a thousand
questions which curious youngsters viii be
asking in few years.
