Rather Enthusiastic.

The Wilmington Del,) Daily. Republican
lately Contained the following item OF popular
interest: Dr. j. f. speck, who is connected
with the Wilmington Every Evening, speaks
rather enthusiastically of St. Jacobs Oil. Dr.
Speck statesst that he uses the Oil in his family
as household remedy, a sort OF universal
panacea for all aches and pains, and has al
ways found it to act most happily. His atten-
ton was called to it by the many testimonials
in its favor, and he one day used it upon him
self for sore throat. Two applications were
sufficient to5effect a cure. He also used it on
his little girl for sore throat with gratifying
success. The same4c child had scarlet fever this
winter whichaleft thetendons of one leg much
contracted. Thel little prattler couldn't walk
without assistance and suffered much incon-
yenience and pain. Several applications Of
St. Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its normal
condition and she has not experienced any
trouble since. DR.. Speck states that he has
also seen the Oil act charmingly in toothache.
He thinks St. Jacobs Oil is q sterling remedy,
and does not hesitate to recommend It for
rheumatism. ETC.

Gas Treatment Of Whooping Cough.

lime and sulphate of iron mixed with

children with whooping cough are
placed around it, and inhale the
vvapors which escape; they are in
an atmosphere containing ammonium
snlphide, carbolic acid, and tarry prod
nets. AS to the efficiency of this treat
ment, one physician reports that OF one
hundred and twenty cases persevered
with, in twenty there was entire fail
mre. forty-eight showed improvement,
and the rest were cures; it is thought,
however, that it acts only upon one ele-

Frederick Rausch, a wealthy farmer
near Newcomerstown, o., has son
fifteen years old who has a singular
impeachment in his speech, which is one
of the most remarkable cases on record.
He can talk intelligently to any member
of his family, but the moment he leaves
home and goes among strangers his
voice leaves him, and it becomes utterly
impossible for him to articulate one
word. He can hear well enough, and
is bright and intelligent-looking. This
most remarkable impeachment in his
speech when among strangers is at.
tributed to spasmodic contraction OF
the muscles of the vocal organs, super
induced by embarrassment or fright: A
doctor who is treating him takes the boy
to his office, where he gradually becomes
familiar with the doctor, after which he
is drilled on pronouncing certain words,
such as the days in the week, etc.; also
on short sentences. The doctor then
takes him in some business house in the
town where, in the presence of crowd
or several persons, he (the doctor) drills
him on the same words and sentences
until he speaks them distinctly.

V0LITIONAL BEGGARS.

One OF the good results of the new de-
parture in charitable work In large cities
called I" Organized Charity" is the weed
ing out of undeserving mendicants who
live on contributions that should be de-
voted to the assistance of the worthy
In regard to the frauds practiced on the
charitable IN large cities, the extent of
the evil is fully revealed in the case of
Philadelphia in an answer to reporter
by Charles D. Kellogg, general secre-
tary for the Society for Organized
Charity, as follows: "Last winter Mayor
StokIey took a census of this class of our
people for the benefit of the society, and
he found there 1,600 persons dependent
upon street begging for support. while
IN the house of correction and aims
house there were 900 more seeking food
and shelter during the winter months,
but who would become common beggars
when the warm weather returned. OF
course some of these were forced by cir
cumstances to beg, but the greater num-
Der did SO from choice or laziness, which
ever you wish to call it. Business being
better this winter than last, there are
fewer men out of work. Besides this,
the society has cut off the sources of
supply of many mendicants, andas a con-
sequence of these two facts We find the
number of persons needing relief re-
duced by several hundred. Nine-tenths
of the street beggars will refuse work If
offered them. Last winter the sIIperin-
tendent OF one Of the district associations
sent 200 able-bodied men to the wood
yard, and how many of them do you
suppose reported to the manager and
earned their bread by work? Just
thirty; the other 10 preferring to beg
from soft-hearted persons who would
give them food or clothing without in
curing into the needs of the recipient.
When the society began its operations
it found hundreds of families that de-
pended upon soup houses for their food
and the Guardians of the Poor for fuel,
cheating the landlords out of rent by
moving as often as possible. Neither
the men nor the women would work
when opportunity offered. It is this
kind of pauperism that the society is
seeking to break up, and already Phila-
delphia is Stunned by the professional
beggar as city where his trade does
not thrive"

A Sad Tragedy.

One of the most heartrending acct
dents human mind can conceive of,
says Paris letter, occurred on the Cha
teau de Torrens a few days since. The
Marquise de Torrens and her daughter
NELLIE. Berth were overjoyed at the re-
turn of their only son and brother, Mar
quis Adrien de Torrens. They had met
him at the station, had him all TO them
selves a breakfast, and reluctantly re-
ceived few intimate neighbors for din
ner, among them the village cure. In
the course of dinner conversation Turned
upon the annoyances that had arisen
from having discharged farmer, Louis
Picot, by name. He had been seen spy
ing about the chateau, and the servants
reported having heard him threaten to
shoot the young master as soon as he
should have returned. Melle. Berth was
particularly nervous about it all and made
her brother promise that he would keep
some arm of defense near his hand in
case Of danger. At last the friends with
drew. The family retired to rest, and
everyone except la marquise was plung-
ed into slumber. She, poor woman, was
very deaf, and, like most deaf persons,
was exceedingly nervous. Not being
able to sleep, she got up and dressed and
passed into her sons room, longing in
her motherly heart to. feel sure that he
was there, near her. Through the half
drawn curtains only light enough pene-
trated to render darkness visible. -
The young man, waking from his sleep,
believed he heard someone walking
stealthily in his room, and thought at
once of Louis Picot. Half rising in his
bed he seized a long Maltese knife which
he had placed on the table beside him to
tranquilize his sister, and waited. The
form passed visibly before his eyes, ap-
preaching the bed so cautiously |! Sure
ly it must be Picot Adrien exclaimed !:
"Qui est to 2" No one heard; no one
answered. He sprang upon his feet: the
form drew nearer, seemed seeking for
its victim, and, as though in gelf-defense.
Adrien raised his arm and struck with
all his force A human creature fell
without cry. Adrien struck a light.
and turned to recognize his-mother !!
Words were powerless to convey an idea
of the poor boys despair. He is now
dangerously i'll, and even if he RECEIVERS
from brain fever, il is to be feared that
his mind will have suffered too terrible a
shock to allow complete mental recovery.

A contlagration at HaverhilI, Mass, on the
night of the 18th inst, with the exception of
the great fire in Boston was the most serious
calamity, in pecuniary point of view, which
has visited New England within the memory of
men now living: Sixty buildings in the center
of the city are in ashes; eighty boot and shoe
manufactures (eaving but three) were entirely
destroyed; more than two thousand men and
women are out of employment; score Of FAM
lilies are homeless; three lives at least we're
sacrificed; and one-ffth of the entire property
of the city wiped out. In spite of this over
whelming calamity the citizens are hopeful and
courageous, and viii rally from the disaster
with characteristic American pluck. The loss
will reach fully $4,000, 600, and the insurance
will cover two-thirds of this amount.

A Terrible Visitation.

On the 18th inst, and while the residents of
Chester, Pa, had hardly recovered from the
excitement caused by the burning of the mill
tary academy, which involved loss of 5000,

midst which carried death and misery into
many happy home. The old Admiral Porter
homestead, which had been converted into a

o'clock in the morning and the fire department
was soon on hand. An immense crowd of cit
liens also assembled. and with the assurance
given that there were no explosives on the
place the firemen went to work aided by volun-
teers from the crowd. About half an hour
afterward an explosion occurred, and the
ground was covered with victims, many killed
outright, some seriously injured and Others
outright and seventy injured. Many of the
latter will die. The scene Immediately after
the death-dealing shock will never be forgotten
