DIR. kennedys ..Favorite Remedy

Mr.. s. W. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley,
Dutchess Co., n. Y, the son of Mr.. E. S. Hicks:
whose name may have appeared in this jour
nal in connection with an aticle similar to this,
was, like his father, afflicted with Stone in the
Bladder, only that his case was more serious
ttan his fathers. On the appearance of the
disease the father advised the son 10 write to
DIR. David Kennedy, of Rondout. n. Y, who,
he said. would tell him what TO do. DR. Ken
nedy replied, suggesting. the use of ''kenne-
dy's Favorite Remedy" which had worked so
successfully in the fathers case. Mr.. Hicks,
who had been assured by the local physicians
that they could do nothing more for him,
tried ''Favorite Remedy" at a venture. After
Two weeks use of it he passed stone of an
inch long and the thickness of pipe-stem
Since then he has had no symptoms of the
return of the trouble. Here is sick man
healed. What better results could have been
expected? What greater benefit could medical
scionce confer: The end was gained that is
surely enough. DR.. kennedy assures the
public, by are putation which he cannot afford
to forfeit or imperil that the '.Favorite Rem
edy" does invigorate the Blood. cures Liver,
Kidney and Bladder complaints, as well as
all those diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
females. ''Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy"

Miss Evans was always retired, and although

this to be the case and avoided general

"You mean her position rs regards Mr..
Lewes."
Certainly. You see for years she was
neither legally nor religiously his wife, and
many women would not visit her. Lewes'
wife was hopelesslv mad, and, as George FL
lot was not orthodox in her religious opin-
ions, and did not consider the marriage ser
vice essential, she only acted according to
the dictates Of her conscience in remaining,
as she did under the roof of Mr.. Lewes, but

A CUNvERsATIoN WITH OSE OF HER MosI

A correspondent of the New York Mail
writing about an interview he had recently
with warm and intimate friend of George

interview is given herewith:

latterly she was absolutely plain. Tall and
gaunt al lw ays, as she ewaxed-scriptural phrase

became exceedingly thin and emaciated. Her
face was the longest and the narrowest mag-
Unable, and rendered her all the more pecul-
lar because she invariably wore her hair
down on either side like window curtain,
and banked over her ears. Her nose was
large. and sharp as a paper cutter, and her
complexion sallow. Her mouth was thin and
her teeth large. She possessed two redeem
ing features-her eyes, which were mag
nifcent. dark and full Of expression, and her
voice, which was divinely musical, whether
in speaking or in singing. Her manner
was pleasant enough, and she was earnest in
her endeavor to be kindly, and what the
Italians call simpntiea. She dressed badly.

my darling, my preciousw he whisp-
cred.
Three months later, on golden De-
cember afternoon, with sky blue as in
June, and the air balmy and salubriOus
and in DelOmnicO's restaurant, a
couple OF gentlemen were engaged in
conversation that was carried on almost
as If by purpose by the eldest, hand
somely dressed. sharp eyed old gentle
man.
Married, eh2 You know that to be a
fact, do your"
II do, for witnessed the ceremony"
Il can hardly realize that Vivian
Severn is married. Who to?
Peter Gray's daughter. think her
name was Ethelbertha, remarkably
beautiful girl, and just the very wife for
young Severn. He was disinherited, you
know, and old Gray cut up rough when
his daughter persisted in keeping her
engagement-cut her off with a shilling
they say"
"Humph! Quite a pretty romance.
What do the young folks do for liv-
in gJ"u,., :, boo, ,oo,.,..no, 60, No.
Waller & Van Tunis, and they seem to
get along as happy as can be. You're
acquainted with them, should judge?"
"Well-slightlly. I'd like to know
"That 1 can't say; but an inquiry at
Severn's place of business would be no
trouble.
And when the stranger went away
after his little conversation with his
table cOmpanian, he had no idea that 1t
was what some folks might call ghost
with which he had been talking.
At eight o'clock that night, as BERTHE
Severn poured her husbands coffee, in
their snug, hOmely dining room, Uncle
Daniel Somerset walked in, large as life,
while Vivian sprang to his feet, bewild-
cred and little startled, and BERTHE
rushed to his side.
Don't be scared. It's me. WASN'T
dead at all. I'd like a cup of good hot
coffee, my dear, with plenty Of cream
and sugar, and while I'm warming up
over it I'll explain, Vivian, that it has
all been a stratagem of mine to discover
whether this little girl is genuine
diamond or sparkling paste. And. my
dear, you'll do. The charitable institu-
tiOn may go to the. You and
Vivian are to have my money, and We'll
60 tomorrow and buy the hnndsOmest
house on the avenue, and everything to
correspond. Kiss me, child! Vivian
don't act like fool over me-"
And by that token Vivian was con-
vinced that it really was the simon pure
Uncle Daniel; and a merrier trio never
sat down at dinner table.

A New Postal Money system.

The new postal order, which the Post
maSterGeneral and his assistants have
devised, if adopted by Congress, will be
issued in two denominations, running
up to $240 and So respectively. The
banks will have the figures l, 2, 3 and
printed in one column, the nine numer-
ais in another and again third. When
a Postmaster prepares an order for use,
he will punch out in the three columns
the figures making up the sum desired.
In the s. blank there will be three
ciphers printed at the bottom of the dol
lar column, and when it is desired to
transmit the full amount of the order
these will be cut out. No indication will
be made of the sender or the intended
receiver. A stub on which the amount
and the date will be the only record of
the pOstOffice authorities. The time of
their value is to be limited to three
months to prevent them from passing as
currency. Up to that time they will be
cashed at any pOstOffice by whOmsOever
presented. They will be no safer to
transmit than money but they will per-
fectly, as it is believed, accomplish the
object of enabling people to send awk-
ward sums without the inconvenience of
the signing and cOuntersigning neces-
sary to obtain and redeem money order,
and the great amount of clerical labor
which these involve to the Department.
The demand has been very great for some
such system, and especially by persons
whose busienss requires them to collect
large numbers of small sums from peO-
pie out of their own place. 1t will be a
boon to newspaper and magazine pub
fishers and to many Of their advertisers.
Stamps are very unsatisfactory to sender
and receiver, and are worse in this
country than in England, where they are
redeemable if not torn apart. The new
orders are to be protected from counter
feiting by fine lathe work and an official
stamp. The punching will prevent rails
ing. They will be printed on a light
note paper, which cannot be easily de-
tected in the envelope and removed by a
thief. The lower denomination will
probably be sold for two and the higher
for four cents. The proper bill for their
introduction will be introduced into the
next Congress probably, and perhaps in
connection with one to extend the old
money order to 800 and reduce the price.
1t is proposed to charge from five to
fOrty-five cents for such orders, as the
amount increases from S. to 800. Both
these changes will be very gladly well
coined, and IL is believed will not tend to
increase the expenses of the department
without benefit to its revenues.
