Few people realize what wonderfully
delicate structure the human ear really
is. That which we ordinarily designate
SO, is after all only the mere outer porch
of series OF winding passages, which.
like the Hobbies OF great building, head
from the outer air into the inner chamb-
ers. Certain of these passages are full
of LIQUID, and their membranes are
stretched like parchment curtains across
the corridors ct different places and can
be thrown into vibration, or made to
trembie as the head OF drum or the
surface of a tamoburinc does when struck
with stick or the fingers. Between two
OF these parchment like curtains chain
of very small bones extends, which
serves to tighten or relax these mem
branes, and to communicate vibrations
TO them. In the innermost place of all /,
rows Of fine thread called nerves, stretch
like the strings Of piano from the last
point to which the tremblings or thrill
fings reach, and pass inward to the
brain. II the nerves are destroyed the
power ef herring - certainly departs as
the power TO give ont sounds is lost by
piano or violin when it, springs are
broken.

approached, and, taking in the horror Of
my situation at glance, had, by the
only means at hand, secured the mad
man, who was the very patient he had
been summoned to attend, but who had
escaped the vigilance of his keeper soon
after the departure OF the messenger,
who had now returned with the doctor in
pursuit of him. AS the poor wretch was
being hurried away, he turned to me,
and said
Madam, this is plot to rob me of
my reputation. Your husband is envi-
GUS OF my great skill as a surgeon.
Adieu !"
I afterward learned that the man was
once all eminent surgeon in Europe, but
much learning had made him mad.
When he bound me to the table, my
hair was black as raven, when left it,
it was as you see it now-white as full
blown cotton.

Hazel Quirk looked quickly up at
Lord Traverse Bay, the love light BEAM
ing forth from her eyes with tender
radiance that told mare plainly than
could any words the deep affection she
bore him; but there was in the look q
pleading wistfulness, sense Of trusting
security that touched his very heart. She
did not speak, but placing dimpled
arm around his neck, drew his face
down and kissed him with soft, melt
ing. three for 50-cents kiss that she kept
on tap only for him. and then her eyes
shone forth the love that her lips could
not utter, while the dropping mouth
quivered as il in pain.

Percy Hanefn this weekday name) in
aQonized tones, the words nearly choking
him as he spoke. s'Let me bring your
vinaigrette, or bottle Of seltzer-a
ouaff or two Of that would relieve you"
But Hazel only laid her head on his
shoulder, wound her white arms around
his neck, and began to- sob a. If her
heart would break.

cause you this bitter anguish? Speak.

be yours all yours-if you will only
speak"
Slowly from the shoulder blade rose
the little head, with its MASS of brown
curls, slowly turned the pure, beautiful
face of Hazel Quirk, until Percy looked
again down into those eyes that had so
lately beamed forth merry chances, and
saw once more the little nose that had so
often burrowed in his vest. "You will
surely keep your promise?" Hazel asked
between the convulsive sobs that seemed
to be breaking her heart and seriously
disarranging her liver.
"Of course I will, my sweet" re-
piled Percy. "You shall have the
apple"
"And'is it really and truly red ones"
asked the girl, again sobbing as if her
heart would break.

"Cris-crossw

"Well"-and here she broke down
afresh, but finally mastered her grief and
spoke-"Papa has soaked the mill.

establishment, ''soaked the mill that has
been his home so long?"
''Same mill" replied Hazel, wringing
out her handkerchief and fishing up q
dry one from the sleeping car of the
polonaise.
"Well, this is sad, indeed" sobbed
the girl; ''you do not drop"

Placing her carefully on fauteuil,
Lord Traverse Bay kissed the tear
stained cheeks and started out to borrow
o dollar and half from his mother with
which to get the marriage license. As
the sound of his footsteps died away,
Dunstan Quirk entered the room where
Hazel was lying. She rose as he opened
the door, and smiled family.

Out under the spreading naples,
whose branches waved TREMENDOUSLY in
the soft breezes of beautiful June
night, stood the Lady Constance Nc
CURE. While lilies were in the dead
gold of her hair and in her dress OF silk,
with rich, trailing laces; diamonds
sparkled and glowed on her lovely white
arms and neck, and smile was on her
her face, sweeter, Adelbert Mahaffy
thought, than the face of woman ever
worn before.
"What are you thinking about so
deeply, Sauce Pan Hat Charlie?" she
said, using the pet name by which he
was known on the west side. "You
look as if you would never smile
again."
AS she spoke she stepped through the
Adelbert followed her. In few mo-
ments they had reached the garden.
where the lilies stood in thick clus ters
and the roses filed the air with sweet
perfume and beat away the soft. sensuous
odor of boiling dead horses that was
waited from the stock yards.
''You look like the Queen of Lilies"
said Adelbert, abruptly, carelessly biting
a chunk from plug of tobacco as he
spoke, "and, as for me, my reason is 60
ing again; my senses are leaving me-"
There was no anger in the fair face.
The moon shone down in all its silent
voluptuousness, tipping with its silvery
beams the Mcclure bunion that marked
the tiny foot of Constance. She did not
speak, nor even move the spruce gum
that lay SO costly alongside her right
jaw.
Remind me, will you, Of my folly"
he went on, remind me that you are a.
far above me as the stars. Send me
away with cold ridicule; send me from
you with bitter words, for love you
oh, heaven, how I love you. and how ut

But no rebuke was in the sweet, proud
lips, no scorn was in the beautiful eyes.
''Send me away, Miss Mcclure, while

sweet night wind caresses you and stirs

sweet voice - she bent over him with
loving smile. "You can soak your head

The speech of Hon. j. G. Burrows on the
tariff commission bill, was able and exhaus-
tive. He showed III most effective and
forcible manner the inconsistencies of the
Democratic party on the tariff question,
proving from their own platforms that they
had been on all sides of it, from protection
to absolute free trade, becoming 'all things
10 all men, with the hope of winning votes
thereby. The Democratic party on the
tariff question, as on all other great issues, is
consistent only in its inconsistencies.

Rather singular suit has recently been
commenced in our circuit court IL chancery,
in which BurriIl A. Olney of Watervliet is
complainant, and Jane A. Manley OF Hart
ford and Charles S. May of kalamazoo, are
defendants. Below will be found an outline
of the compliments bill of complaint. The
defense will probably tell a different story
when they file their answer:
The complainant says he has known the
defendant Manley for upwards of ten years ;
that she was married when he first knew her
but was subsequently divorced; that he has
been on friendly terms with her, and has
often loaned her money. That he has been
in the habit of carrying around with him in
a basket large amounts of valuable securities,
sometimes amounting to nearly $4,000.
That on the 4th day of December, 1881, he
took the lady out riding and had upwards of
$4,000 in cash and nearly $4,000 of securi-
ties in his little basket, and that when they
returned to Mrs. Manley's house in the even
ING. he. feeling fatigued, lay down on sofa
and rested: that while he was SO resting,
Mrs. Manley removed all of said money and
securities from the basket, and in their stead
placed wood and chips. That this was on
Sunday, and he first discovered his loss on
Monday when debtor called to pay him
some money; that he was greatly frightened
and alarmed, and at once went 70 Mrs.
Manley's and she admitted that she had the
property and declared she would destroy
it unless he should give her $4,000, or
his note for that sum, and that to obtain his
property and prevent its destruction he COM
piled with her demand and gave her his note
FOR the sum demanded. That when the
property was given back to him il was cover
ed with flour and had evidently been hidden
in the -four bin. That he did not give such
note voluntarily but that it was extorted
from him by threats of destroying his securi-
ties, and that the same was given without
consideration that he has been trying ever
since without success to obtain said note.
but has failed TO do so that he has received
information that the note Is III possession OF
the defendant Charles :. May, lawyer at
Kalamazoo, who. he believes has made an
arrangement with the woman TO have share
of what he can collect of the same. DE
prays for an injunction restraining the col
lection of the note aud u decree declaring the
same invalid. Hughes, O'Brien d Smiley
appear as solicitors for Olney, and each of
the defendants have been served with
process.

passage by large majority of the bill re-
ported from the committee on patents, re-
lating to the recovery of damages for sin

the west who have of late been so largely
'swindled by purchasing patents on articles
in good faith and then being sued for in

Mr.. Burrows was opposed by Messrs
Hewitt of New York, Reed OF Maine, Robin

secured the passage of the bill by more than
two-thirds vote. At the conclusion OF his
remarks he was heartily applauded.-P0st

RESULT OF ADVERTISING.

Early last summer Mr.. Leonard Lee was in
precarious state of health, and went to
Battle Greek Mich Sanitarium for treat
ment, an institution scarcely ever heard of in
this vicinity He remained three months
and returned with health completely re.
stored. At his solicitation. DR.. Kellogg, the
experimenting physician sent by him an
advertisement to be inserted in both the
TELEGRAPH and UNION, using his name as
reference. After the first insertion Mr.. Lee
received so many inquiries that he answered
through our columns, and now no less than
twenty. four individuals. including Mr.. E. G..
Durant and family, of Racine, formerly of
this place, have availed themselves of the
benefit of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Judging from the improved appearance of the
patients who return, there must be some
skillful physicians in Attendance and some
virtue in the treatment prescribed. though,
we are informed, very little medicine is used.
All this results from little judicious adver-
Using in papers havinga respectable circula-
ton, thus bringing the parties together, and
both being benefited thereby.

Item, in late ramble throughout that city,

information, the following: The first place
visited By the reporter was the fruit store Of
Mr.. ]. LeVett, No. 81 Market street, in re-
spouse to rumor that the proprietor had
been cured of the rheumatism by the great
remedy. Mr.. Levett rot being in, the re.
porter had talk with his son. Mr. Levett
stated that his father had been cured OF an
exceedingly bad attack Of rheumatism by the
st. Jacobs Oil. He had the disease in his
right arm and shoulder, which became per-
fectly helpless after being affected few
hours. His pain was so great that he could
not rest in comfort or attend to business
with any degree Of satisfaction. After en-
during this sort of thing for some time, he
purchased a bottle of the Great German
Remedy and began 10 apply it, He did not
mince matters at all, but just used the Oil
for all it was worth. After pursuing this
mode of treatment for three days the pain
was banisEed and his father was in perfect
~ healthy condition. He has never since
felt any rheumatic pain.
