Gents; From my own sense Of duty.
and upon the advice of friends have
concluded to offer you testimonial. nro-
claiming to the world that there Is an
absolute cure for Bright's Disease in he
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven wears
ner ilie has been agburden; she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
viliei Rochester, and other places. and n
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deayOr TO obtain cure or even relief but
all have pronounced her incurable have
SAID that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
ana she must abandon all hope of ever
being any better. We finally heard Of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
W RE, and suggested to different pbv-
slcians that we make trial iof It.: hnt
they, secuted the idea, pronounced il n
numbug and said 1t would be perfect folly.
we finally came to Rochester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable to do anything for her.
We also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had q good reputation
and made some remarkable cures, and en-.
couraged us to give it trial; so as last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, | came
TO your Office for that purpose 7 tool,
home two bottles Of your KIDNEY AMI
LIVER CURE, and commenced givino
It to her according to directions. and b9
the time she had taken ono bottle. tbere
was marked improvement in her condi-
tom she acGuired control of her urinary
tnctions, which she had not possessea
since childhood; all bloat subsidized sbe
began to gain in good solid flesh and
gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles of the
remedy, she has in this short snsce of
seven weeks, become fully cured of what
was regarded q hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. l wish i could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease. and teil
them as l can not in this letter, that
know Brights disease of the worst tyne
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE

DAVID DAVIS,
No Longer Neutral, Wheels Into
Limo for Hancock and
English.

CHICAGO, August 9.-The Times
this morning publishes q letter from
Senator David Davis to a gentleman
in Washington, in which judge Davis
says; The training and habits of my
life naturally led me to prefer civil
ians to soldiers for great civil trusts,
but as parties are organized, voters
must choose between the candidates
they present or must stand alOof, in
different or neutral, which no good
citizen ought to do at a presidential
election. | have no hesitation in
supporting Hancock, for the best Of
all reasons, to my mind, because his
election will put an end to sectional
strife and sectional parties, and will
revive patriotic sentiment all over the
land, which political leaders and fac
tiOns, for sinister ends, have soughtto
prevent. There can be no permanent
property without paciaoation. Great
as were the achievements of General
Hancock in the war, his conduct
when in command of Louisiana and
Texas in 81 was still greater, and
justly commends him tothe confidence
of the country"

AGNES BERNAUER.
The Unhappy Victim of Inorganic
Marriage.

Marriage.
Agnes Bernauer's romantic union
and cruel death have embalmed her
memory, and she still lives in song
and story. She was the beautiful and
amiablc daughter of a poor citizen of
Augsburg, in the fifteenth century.
Duke Albrecht, sole son of the reigning
Duke Ernst, saw her at tournament
given in his honor by the mobiles of
Bavaria, and irrecoverably lost his
heart to the charming maid. Al
brecht, young, handsome, brave and
very proud, made her acquaintance
and wooed her passionately. She low
ed him in return, though she was too
pure and prudent to listen to his suit
until he had promised to make her
his wife. lie kept his promise. They
were secretly welded, and went for
their honeymoon to the Castle of Vohs-
burg, inherited by the young Duke
from his mother. His father, know
ing nothing of the romantic alliance,
proposed that his son should marry
Anna, daughter of Erich, Duke of
Brunswick, to which the young man,
very naturally, under the circum-
stances, would not listen. His stub
born opposition opened the fathers
eyes to the misalliance, and he resolv-
ed to undo it. Ernst accordingly con-
trived that Albrecht should be ex-
cluded from tournament he was very
anxious to take part in at Regensburg,
on account of his living, as was alleged,
IN concubinage, contrary 10 the rules
of chivalry. Albrecht then swore that
Agnes was his lawful wife; but his
oath was not accepted; be was still
debarred from entering the lists. He
gave his wife a sumptuous retinue;
placed her in the Castle of Straubing,
and caused her to be honored like a
Princess. But she, with sad fore.
bodlng, prepared an oratory and
tomb in Carmelite convent of the
town. During the life of Albrecht's
uncle, Duke William Ernst made no
further effort to interfere with the
lovers, for he stood in awe of his
brother, who was deeply attached to
his gallant nephew. But William
having died, the anger of the father
broke out afresh and in the absence
of his son caused Agnes arrest and
trial for sorcery, and its exercises on
her lord. The trial was, of course, a
farce. She was quickly condemned to
be drowned in the Danube. She was
thrown into the river in the presence
of the populace, and foated by the
current toward the shore. One Of the

in their studies to justify such an i'm
portant step. This is an error which
may prove fatal and ruin what might,
with proper study, have been bril-
liant career Another error made
nowadays is that young ladies want to
make their first appearance on any
stage in the principal role of opera
without any previous experience. All
the successful prima donnas of the
day have, ut the beginning of their
career, been content to commence with
minor roles and honestly earn their
laurels. In singing, as in fighting,
discretion is decidedly the better part
of valor, and an appearance in public
had far better be deferred for years
than II future ruined by an immature
debut. When singer has once ap-
peared in public she should make
point of watching her audience, so as
to see what effect her singing is pro-
ducing. If the audience appears in
different or restless, depend upon it
something is wrong, in which case it
will be advisable to make other selec-
tions in future or to change your man
ner and style-z-even your costume q
have known bright green silk cos
tune of homely make initiate against
singers success; in short, use every
effort in your power to obtain the IA
vor and good will of your audiences.
| have frequently heard people declare
that they were never nervous when
appearing in public. Real artists are,
however, | find, always more or less
nervous when first singing on the stage
nervous from anxiety to please the
public and desire to deserve public
estimation. BY nervousness | do not
wish to imply fear, but nervousness
that means energy and courage, which
will make you exert yourself to the
utmost.
an conclusion, let me warn young
ladies against naming their voices
themselves or letting any incompetent
person do it for them, as by so doing
they may break and ruin it. Take
for instance a young girl who has a
high voice. She naturally calls her
self a soprano, and imagines the whole
range of opera is within her reach.
As result, she may practice falsely,
and study and sing the wrong kind of
music, and, as n consequence, she may
irreparably ruin a promising voice.
The character of a voice cannot be
determined by its range, but by the
quality and hexibility of its timbre.
For instance, | heard two young ladies
in Paris recently who imagined they
had the same voices, ranging from \
to y two octaves); nevertheless, |
found one was light soprano, while
the other, who imagined herself Jen-
ny Lind, proved to be a contralto.
Therefore, let young aspirants remem-
ber that compass has nothing what
ever to do with the description of the
voice, which must be named and used
with reference to its quality, volume
and timbre, and not by the number of
notes, as is enormously and generally
understood by beginners. Then, again
voices must be classified according to
their power, as the Italian school
does them, into two classes, 'voce di
camera and n 'vocc di teatro. "

FIRST PRINCIPLES.

Zone of the first principles of sing.
ing is to have the throat open, the
tongue down, with its root we'll de.
pressed, and when approaching piano
passage keep the throat as open as for
forte passages, leaving the mouth and
lips to mOdulate the tone. Beginners
should guard against the awkward
habit they invariably have of pushing
out their chins, which gives throaty
tone to the voice. An excellent prac-
tice may be had by practicing ali ex-
ercises in three graduations, which are
the fundamental principles of the
Italian school namely forte, mezza
voce and piano. The next thing to
be studied is correct intonation and
singing in tune, which is of vital i'm
portance. In studying songs, always
pay attention to light and shade and
remember to take your breath at regu-
lar intervals and adhere to them.
When you have mastered the song, in
cluding not only the melody but the
words, then add the meaning and
shades of expression and sing the piece
without the music before a looking
glass, carefully observing the position
of your body and the expression of
your features meanwhile. A great
mistake made by many singers is in
making their appearance in public be-
fore they have sufficiently advanced
