The reputation has attained, in consequence of
the marvellous cures 1t has produced during the
last half century, is sufficient assurance to the

section of country there are persons, publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases Of the lungs, by its use.
nwho have tried acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues are known, M one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary a1ec-
tons. CHERRY PICTORIAL always affords in
slant relief, and performs rapid cures of the

ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of
Childhood, it is invaluable; for, by its timely use
multltudes are rescued and restored to health.

Early Iron Making i'm Eng
land.

In the reign of Edward III, iron
was so scarce that the pots, splits
and frying pans of the royal kitch-
en- were classed among the King s
jewels. Up to the end of the IF
tenth century, English iron was
not only dearer, but inferior to
that manufactured on the Cont
nent. During the fifteenth centu-
ry the manufacture Of iron began
to be quite extensive in Sussex,
where the ore and timber for
smelling it abounded, and iron
mills soon became numerous in
the country. The land proprietors
entered into the business eagerly,
and were not only enriched there
by, but several new men acquired
wealth and founded families. In
the Forest of Dean, also, iron was
largely smelted, but the land soon
became denuded of trees in conse-
quence of the extensive use OF
wood for smelling, people became
alarmed and many edicts were
illuminated restricting the manu-
facture of iron. Eventually the
feeling became so strong that from
the time of the Restoration the
iron manufacture of England rap
idly declined. Coal as then used,
injuriously affected the quality ol
The iron, and it was not until the
beginning of the eighteenth centu-
ry that steps were taken to over
come this difficulty.

IL Err VICTIM AFTER HIS
DEATH.
From the Easton (Md.) Star.
In tenement house on the es-
tate of Mr.. Geo. Shannahan, near
Royal Oak, there lived an old
white man and his wife named
Jackson. On a different part III
the estate, in another tenement
house. lived a colored man named
JOCK Skinner. JACK belonged to
Mr.. Shannahan, but his wife and
! children were free born. Jack had
a daughter named Mamie, after
her mother 1t was the delight
Of this girl to make mouths at and
mock and torment old Jackson,
always taking good care not TO let
the old man:get hold Of her. 1t
made him so mad be swore that,
when he died, he would come
back and haunt her. The war be.
tn cen them was kept up for sew
eral years, until Jackson's death.
Some time afterwards, while the
girl was sitting in her fathers
house, all of q sudden there came
down the chimney chunk of fire
that fell and scattered over the
floor, the Goals hitting the girl
After that the house, when the
girl would be in it, would be pelt-
ed with chunks Of wood, clods of
earth, brickbats, oyster shells, etc.,
and no one could see from whence
they came, as no one on the prem
ises was visible, except the family,
and they could find out nothing
about it. They all believed and
declared il was old Jackson's
ghost. The circumstance created
the greatest excitement through
out the neighborhood, and indeed,
throughout the country, for per-
sons came from long distance to
witness the phenomenon. We once
heard gentleman of uHquestiOn-
ed veracity say he went there de-
termined to unravel the mystery,
If possible. He took the girl alone
out in the middle of a field, and
to his establishment, she was pelt.
ed there with clOds and sticks by
some invisible agency, which he
could never understand, as it was
impossible for any one to be in
collision with her. The mystery
never was explained, and the
throwing and tormenting of the
girl continued, until some of her
relations came from Baltimore
and took her with them to the city,
when no further disturbance oc.
Cured. If it was old Mr.. jack
sons ghost, it seemed to have been
satisfied with driving her off the
farm. 1t is our recollection that
the girl was never seriously hurt
by any of the missiles hurled at
her. If out of doors, she general
ly saw them coming before they
hit and lodged them ii in the
house they would strike the
hearth. the walls or some article of
furniture without hitting her. 1t
was not malicious ghost,s but
simply appeared to be full of dew
iltry; it was unceasing in its per-
secutionss until it succeeded in
driving her off the premises
There was an old woman in the
neighborhood named Katie Co
burn, who had the reputation of
being witch, and some thought
she was at the bottom of the dew
ilment, but she lived some dis
lance away, across creek, and it
is not likely that she could have
had anything to do with it. The
general belief at the time was that
it was old Mr.. Jackson's ghost in
fiicting on the girl just punish
ment for her impudence to him in
his lifetime.

Two NOblemen.

Among the passengers of the steamer
Scythia, on which l returned from Eu-
rope, was an English Earl, quiet gen.
tleman, in no way remarkable or inter-
esting, who comes to our country al
most yearly to hunt in the West. The
obsequious homage of the captain and
officers of the ship in the presence of
the little great man, and the painful,
cringing difference of the stewards were
almost as disgusting as was the ineffa-
BILE Stiffness of two American women,
who became oblivious of the commonest
rules of good breeding in their raptures
over live Earl. There was another
gentleman among the passengers, a
nobleman in the highest sense, but un-
titled, and of the people-Samuel Nor
lev, member of Parliament, q grand
man, philanthropist, finding his hap
piness in work for the race. His chari-
ties are unbounded, his contributions to
the temperance work of England alone
amounting in some years to S25,OOO.
But while officers and stewards gave to
him, as to all the passengers, the most
courteous attention, there was in their
manner an utter lack of the fawning
and self-efacement so conspicuous in
their behavior toward the Earl. One
was an hereditary nobleman, by birth
the other, every inch a nobleman,
without a title-and this made the diff
ference.-Mary a. Livernaore, tn the
Troy IN ~ Times.

The Cypress Groves Of the City Of
Mexico.

The following interesting sketch of
the famous trees of TdrOdiuns distichuna
is from the pen of Moses Thatcher, in
the Contributor, of Salt Lake City:
"For quiet repose and peaceful med
itation the cypress groves of Chapulte-
pee afford, perhaps, the most attractive
features of any spot near the city. The
castle. located on the abrupt rocky hill.
is quite massive and imposing. 1t has
recently undergone many improve
ments of desirable character, which
add much to the beauty of the place.
Here is the National Observatory, a
position well chosen, healthy and beau
tiful, while affording the most attract
i've view of the surrounding country.
Between 1t and the end of the Pas
SEQ, leading to the capital, stands a
monument of gray sandstone, recently
erected to the memory of the national
cadets. who, refusing to retreat. fell in
battle, September II, 1S47, when our
countrymen, under General Scott,
gained the victory which led to the
surrender of the capital few days
later. There are in the park probably
not less than LOCO fine cypress, whose
planting by the Toltecs (Nephites) ante
dates, perhaps, many centuries, the rise
of the Aztec Empire. Some of these
are nearly fifty feet in circumference.
and from 100 to 125 feet in hight,
with huge limbs extending all around
to a great distance, and being always
clad with dry, bronzed and fresh green
leaves, mingling with dropping silvery
MOSES, form the most enchanting
bowers imaginable. The arrangement
of these trees is in groves and double
rows, sometimes crossing at right
angles and affording splendidly shaded
narrow avenues. An exceedingly fine
spring of pure water gushes from the
rocks of the south side of the hill.
Three hundred and seventy years ago
the waters of the spring were conveyed
by the Aztecs to the city, through an
of masonry constructed for
that purpose. A portion is now forced
with a steam pump for use in the gar
dens of the palace above, while the re-
still flows to the capital"

Heat without Fire.

A machine has been invented in
Boston for generating heat without fire.
1t is simply an iron cylinder about
foot long and foot in diameter. The
bottom of the cylinder is hardened
plate upon which another plate of the
same diameter turns, the pressure be-
ing regulated by a screw, according to
the power that is to be applied and the
amount of heat desired. An of the
space not taken up by the wheel and
shaft is filed with water. As soon as
the wheel is set in motion the water is
brought up to high temperature and
the cylinder becomes stove, which
radiates heat from the whole of its ex-
terror surface. OF course this machine
can only be used in buildings where
there is steam-power that can be
availed of to run the friction wheel.
There is entire security against acct
dents by fire, which is strong point in
favor of the friction heater.-Baltinore

after that took out my watch and it
was twelve o'clock and three minits.
Some of the neighbors had come around

The locomotive was No. 90. The boys

Walker was runnin' her and Crazy was
firm. There was three coaches filled
with the boys and their wives and chill
dren. They was in their best clothes,
m when they came by where l was sit
tin'-they all knew it was little Char
ley's place-the men took off their hats
and the women had their handkerchiefs
to their faces. 1 alters knowed they
was very fond of him, but it seemed as
though they had lost an only child.
There was six little boys, all the same
size, and they took i'm up, and we all
follered up the side of the mountain. 1t
was a mild day, and the sun shinin'
bright. We crossed Devils Run and
came to a place of level ground where
there were some large pine trees. 1t
was just over the cliff. little ways from
the road, say hundred feet, and in
plain sight of where he stood wavin' his
lantern backward and forward slowly
across the track when he said, 'You

After all, it was harder on Mary than

a while after that. but couldn't never
