Thomas Harrison, the boy evangelist ii reported insand in Buffalo, where he has been conducting revival meetings. Some of the Methodist clergymen of that city have declar- ed their belief in his lanacy, and protested against his continued exhibitions of wildness 1; but the pastor of the Asbury Church is of 8 different opinion, and the meetings go on, drawing great crowds. "Not content with rushing from platform to chancel rail-" says the Courier, in an account of his conuct he ''took possession of the aisles and even went so far as to climb upon the seats, or half way up the pulpit desk, stretching out his tall, thin body to it's utmost height, and swinging his arms. With coat sleeves pulled up half way to the elbows. he passed among the au- dience, making passes before their eyes; now prostrate in the aisles; now towering up from pew back. with hands beating one another, or stretched to heaven, or pointing to some startled and unoffending spectator, or rapidly flirting the leaves of the Bible backward and | forward: now uttering some stage whisper to the unrepentant sinner ;then suddenly, with out warning, shrieking out disjointed sen l tence of thanksgiving, orofprayer; immediately afterward, perhaps getting off joke of the l most questionable taste" He declared, on an- other evening, that twenty penitents were m the chancel, though there were only five, and that hundreds of hands were raised for pray CTS, whereas the number was exceedingly small It is thought that over excitement has craZed him.

] w. H. Kemble. the notorious Pennsylvanian, who pleaded guilty to a charge of bribery and then slipped away before sentence could be passed on him, and who may now return since the court has adjourned and cannot | sentence him, is an example of a peculiar moral growth. It seems that Mir. Kembles confidence has been abused. This noble man l only confessed in order to save the state the expense of prosecuting him, and is astonished that after such display of magnaminity on his part his ofense should be taken seriously
 MT: Kemble has, this is the argument, done | nothing unusual. He merely bribed some members of the legislature, and he is justly indignant and astonished that such little thing should create any fleeing. What is to become of Mir. Kemble's business? How are state politics to be run if this sort of interfer- ence is tolerated? One of Kemble's friends in New York puts this matter in a proper light when he says:- tstz : 20.
 ''The case has been pushed beyond preced- ent; and far beyond what the offense deserves. Attorney General Palmer went too far He pushed case against people within his own party. He has been unreasenably disloyal to his party and it's interests, and MT. Kemble thinks so. The offense of bribery as charged is not serious moral one, nor serious one in this instance, as results have shown to the best interests of the state. The great mistake has been that Kemble, Petroff, Salter, Craw- ford and Rumberger ever pleaded guilty at all They should have fought the case from court to court and jury after jury. That's what they now recognize should have been their course. But speak more especially for Mr. Kemble when say that it was not the wish of the defendants to be contumacious and to put the state to expense and trouble. So they pleaded guilty, hoping to be met by the prose. cution with an equal liberalitv. In this they were deceived. They feel rather bitter about it, for the reason that while they did not bar gain for pardon or even light punishment, they were allowed to believe-even induced to beleve-they should escape with only fine or perhaps be pardoned after publicly expres- sing their guilt as construed by the law. We'll, the thing all through has been bad affair and badly conducted.''
 There is nothing serious about bribery, in Pennsylvania, it is merely way of doing the state service, and Mr. Kemble thinks that the prosecuting officer has made mistake in pushing him. He of course has no hard feel ing against his prosecutor. and we have no doubt will be willing to return and resume his occupation at Harrisburg if the district at- torney will apologize. That such generous fault as bribery should be criticised strikes the ''man of the period" as monstrous. And there is something incongruous about it, C0ur0nt

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Ca- tarrh, exp pla ns the following important facts:
 l. That Catarrhal Colds become 6 poisonous infection, at first local, and finally constitutional.
 2. That, being Constitutional, the infection is beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
 B. That impurities in the nostrils, are necessarily swallowed into the stomach and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito- urinary organs.
 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mucous membrane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations, and Insoluble Snufs, cannot possibly remove Infectious inflammation from the or. gans named. 7
 6 That an antidote for Catarrh must possess an inoculative affinity for, and the quality of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
 Based upon these plain theories, Dr. Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved to be infallibe. It not only re- lieves, it cures Catarrh at any stage. 2 Home testimony:

What Happened to MR. JOSEPH BEACH.
Stone in the Kidney se xpelled After using pr. David Hennedy's " "FavOrfte Hem- .skeE edy's about two Sgeels. , s25z

One of the most remarkable cases that has ever been brought to the notice of the public is that of MT. J. s. Beach, of Stone Ridge, Ulster Co.,, N Y. MT. Beach had suffered since October 18tn, 1874, fron-the presence of Calculus or stone in the right kidney. No less than seven physicians were employed at different times, to whom MT. Beach paid hun- dreds of dollars for medical treatment, with y only temporary relief from his agony.
 By the urgent solicitation of his friends he was induced to try Dr. David Kennedy's "Fayorite Remedy "-experienced marked improvement from the first day he began to use the medicine: on the 18th of September he voided s'one as large as could be passed through the natural channel.
 MT. Beach concludes a long letter to Dr. Kennedy by saying. |" It will always afford me pleasure to recommend the 'Favorite Remedy to those who may be suffering from difficulties of the Kidneys and Bladder, or any disorders arising from an impure state of the blood. The .Favorite Remedy is sold by all druggists, The Doctors only address is Rondout, New York. CD

AN OLD DooToR's ADVICE. was this |: "Trust in God and keep your bowels open. " For this purpose many an old doctor has ati- vised the hahitually costive to take Kidney Wort-for no other remedy SO effectually overcomes this condition, and that without the distress and gripping which other medicines cause. It is radical cure for piles. Don't fail to use it.
 A singular case of a lost heir came lately before the Court of Chancery, England. In 1858 Isaac. eldest son of John Atkinson, Q Cumberland gentleman of property disappear ed. There was no suspicion of his death, but no news ever reached his family about him. It now appears that about the same time one James Anderson started in business in Rome, Italy. He had Cumberland accent, and, like Isaac, was fine wrestler. This man was the lost heir. By the death of his father, in 1889, Isaac became heir, but, it is stated, never knew This until 1876. His claim was then nearly barred. nor did he take steps to assert it. He died in 1877, and so satisfied are his family of his identity that they have agreed on a compromise with his children.

$500 ReWard--Catarrh Cure.

Some people would rather be humbugged than to get 'value received" for their money. Hence it is that such persons run after this and that pretended cure for catarrh, forget ting that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is so positive in it's effects that it's former propri- etor advertised it for years throughout the United States under a positive guarantee, off ering $500 reward for an incurable case and was never called upon to pay this reward ex- Tn two cases. This remedy has acquired such a fame that branch office has been estab fish. ed in London, England, to supply the foreign demand for it. Sold by druggists at 90 cents.

RainfaiIs and Forests.

According to paper in P0lybiblion,
the following are the laws of meteorol-
ogy as affected by forests: I. 1t rains
more abundantly. under identical cir
cumstances, over forests than nOn- wood
ed ground, and most abundantly over
forests with trees in y green condition.
2. The degree of saturation of the air
by moisture is greater above forests than
over nOn-wOoded ground and much
greater over pinus sylvestris than over
masses of leaved species. 8. The leaf
age and branches of leafed trees inter
cept one-third, and those of resinOus
trees the half, of the rainwater which
afterward returns to the atmosphere by
evaporation. On the other hand, the
same leaves and branches restrain the
evaporation of the water which reaches
the ground; and that evaporation Is
nearly four times less under mass Of
leafed forest than in the open, and two
and one-third times only under mass
of pines. 4. The laws of the change of
temperature out of and under wood are
similar to those which result from the
observations Of III. Matthew. The gem
sral conclusion seem 10 be that forests
regulate the function Of water. and ex-
ercise on the temperature. ~ on the at
mosphere. an effect of "ponderation" and
equilibrium.

Wonderful Spiders.

A short distance from Buena Vista is
a cave inhabited by spiders which are
different from other spiders by their
enormous size, and quite useful to the
needy people OF that vicinity. The cave
was discovered last December by par
ty of sight-seeTs, and the spiders and
their work witnessed. On entering the
cave one is first struck by the funny
looking webs that meet their eyes. They
are worked for all the world like webs
times as large as the ones woven by or
binary spiders.
On passing on further into the cave
spiders are encountered. They are
about the size of small birds and
make a strange sound while weaving
their web Their webs are SO tough and
the fibsrs are so large that it is almost
an Impossibility to break down a web.
Some four weeks ago while looking
at the cave, a miner got to examining
the webs Their strands were about the
size of a No. Il thread and he thought
that they could he used for thread.
Having needle in his possession he
broke off one of the strands and found
that it just tit. Sewing on loose but
ton to test the efficacy he found it as
strong as silk thread. and that it an
swered his every purpose. Since then
the people have iiocked in and carried
away hosts of the webs, but the spiders
do not appear to object in the least.
There is some talk among capitalists of
starting a thread factory there and
using the webs for thread.-[Leadville

SAN FRANcIscANs are evidently get
ting tired of the reverend demagogue
whom they elected mayer last fall The
Beard of Supervisors have passed resO-
lutions that the peace Of the city has
been seriously inperilsd by KallOchs
incendiary speeches, and has ordered an
investigation by the Judiciary Commit
tee. The probable result of the matter
will be impeachment. Kalloch differs
from Kesrney chiefly in being man of
better education and more experience in
affairs. which makes his incendiary tir-
ades at once less excusxble and more
dangerous. He is a representative of
the worst element in American politics.
and it is an excellent sign that San Fran
cisco is recovering from the unreasOn-
able anti-Chinese crusade of the last
year. that it has become disgusted at the
hollow demagoguery of the man elected
mayof only ssven months ago and wants
to get rid Of him
