Newfoundland Fcgs.

Next to its dogs, Newfoundlaad's fame
rests on its fogs. The Arctic current,
driving southwark and along the coast,
: meets the Gulf Stream and ccndenses
, the warmer vapors, just as a glass OF
ice-water gathers crops. The mists
comparatively seldom penetrate inland,
but IN one direction or another they
hang around the island with weirI
darkness like that of smoke, and closing
ina ''sea turi:" they call it here
make navigation on the cruel coast as
dangerous as on any waters of the globe
Hundreds of stout ships have steered
to wreck in the mists on the rock-rib-
bed shores, and a winters journey to
st. johns is more perilous than a trip
to Europe, the Allan steamships some
times using eleven days for the $40
miles from Halifax to st. Johns. A
spot traditional with disaster is "AIis-
taken Point" a little west of Cape
Race, so called because of the difficulty
of Distinguishing it i'll the fog from the
cape itself. Here, within few days of
each other, the steamships Washington
and Crom we'll, in 1877, ran ashore and
were lost, with some seventy lives, not
a soul escaping. From the heights
above the fishermen saw corpses and
wreckage churnIng against the lower
cliffs, but only two bodies were secured
by an adventurous seaman, who went
down the face of the rocks by rope.
Internally, as a whole-except, per-
haps, IN the track yet to be penetrated
by the railroad-Newfoundland is an
unpromising region-a land of continu-
Gus rock, here and there covered with |
boggy wastes, and with vast areas where |
old tirs, killing the low frs, have left |
wastes of dead trees that tire the eye
with their monotony aud expanse. The
summers are brief and moderately |
warm, the springs marked by a mar
vellously sudden burst of vegetation,
the winters about as cold as those of !.
New England. and attended by deep
snowfalls. Along some of the roads are
seen now lines of stakes as tail as small |
telegraph poles, placed at short inter-
yals, to mark out the winter path, The

the big snowfall, put out the notice,

these semi-Arctlc winter roads. New
foandland has lakes without number,
some OF them sixty miles long, and
teeming with trout. She has wilderness
where game are abundant; she raises
fine vegetables, and she, late in August,
placed fresh strawberries on our table.
But as yet she yields to commerce little
except copper. ore, seals, and Goldfish.
Her people. rs a rule, are so backward
as almost to be archaic, and here, at St.

The Penn Treaty Ground

Close to the Delaware River, near
where Beach and Hanover streets,
Philadelphia, Intersect, there stood the
great elm beneath which the treaty
between Penn and the Indians was
signed. 1t requires some nice calcula-
ton, ut this late day, to locate the
exact spot upon which the famous elm
stood. Inc monument which con-
memorates the great treaty stands upon
piece Of ground which divides the
premises OF coal merchant from Beach
street. The ground upon which this
monument has been erected is the prop
erty of MIR. VanduseD, and the city
occupies it by MS permission. The
monument Is many yards from tine spot
where the historic elm stood, and the
double elm which grows beside it Is
but growth from IA sucker cut from
the parent tree and planted sixty years
ago-fiye years before the Penn Society
erected its marble memorial obelisk,

Torture st Sairo.

The special correspondent says that
when the British forces occupied the
citadel of Cairo they found that toItures
had been inflicted upon prisoners that
were horrible in their barbarity, re-
minding one of the old luquisltion
period. The prisoners had been beaten
and racked if they could not pay money;
they had been hanged up by the thumbs,
by the ankles, by straps around their
waists: that their bodies had been barred,
the skin over the hips and legs frightened
by a contrivance SO ingenious that only
fiend inspired by Satan could have
devised it, and then the lash applied,
one man msking an upward blow alter
pately with the downward cut OF another

in the battle of Cedar Mountain,
fought on August 9, 1862, the 28th Regi-
ment OF New York Volunteers, after
losing nearly half its officers and men,
including it's Colonel, was captured, to-
gether with its regimental flag. The
nag bore no name or inscription, but
the men who carried it cut,a piece out of
one corner before it passed out of their
possession, SO that it might be identified.
1t was never seen again by any member
OF the regiment until few days ago
Col. E. F. Brown, who was Lieutenant
Colonel of the 28th New York at the bat
tie OF Cedar Mountain, who lost an arm
in that action, and who has since the
war been the custodian of the piece cut
from the flag, accidentally discovered
the flag itself in this city in a collection
OF recaptured Union colors found in
Richmond when that city was taken in
1865. He wrote to the Secretary of
War on behalf of the surviving mem
bers of the regiment, asking that the
flag be restored to them. The request
was granted, and in pursuance Of an
order issued by Adjutant- General Drum,
the flag was turned over to Col. Brown,
and will be presented to the surviving
members of the regiment at their next
annual reunion.-N. 7. Times.

Spring Fever.

Persons should not think lightly of that
feeling of extreme debility, SO common in the
spring of the year. 1t is often the forerunner
of year of i'll health. 1t renders the system
very susceptible to disease, and is caused by
the blood being filed with poisonous humors.
The blood, by all means, should be kept
healthy, otherwise its power to assimlate nu-
tritious food becomes impaired, and dyspepsia,
liver-complaint, headache, nervous debility,
extreme languor, weak kidneys, want of phys
ical and mental endurance, and general pros
tration is the result. Since prevention is bet
ter than cure. don't wait for the final result Of
springtime indisposition, when the first symp-
toms Of languor are manifested, but begin
using DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsapa-
rilla. As spring medicine, it excels all other
remedies, gently but surely expelling the
poisonous blood humors with which the sys-
tenn becomes impregnated, by the incidental
effect of changeable winter weather 1t makes
the blood red, rich and pure, causes it to cir
culate with more vim, enables it to renew the
wasted tissues, and carries strength and
vitality to every weakened part Of the human
system, restoring impaired bodily functions,
and checking all decay Of the urinary, digest
i've, and pulmonary organs, which, If neglected,
too often ends in a premature grave.

until too late. He related how New Orleans
medical professor, lecturing on this disease,
thinking to show his class what healthy fluids
were, subjected some of his own to chemical
test, and although he had no suspicion of it
before, discovered that he, too, had the dread
ed disease, which proved fatal in less than q
year. There was also interview with the
celebrated chemist of the New York State
Board of Health, DR.. S. A. baltimore, who
said he had analysed the remedy which cured
DR.. Henion, and found that it was g entirely
free from any poisonous or deleterious sub
stances"
We have made these condensations in order
that all the mater. al facts may be set before
our readers. Since the publication of these
two articles, having been besieged with let
tiers Of inquiry, we sent communication to
DR.. Henion and also ole to H. H. Warner Il
Co., asking if any additional proof could be
given us as to the validity of the statements
published. In answer thereto we have re-
ceved the following letters, which add inter
est to the entire subject and wholly verify
every statement hitherto made:

To Whom it may Concern:

In the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat and Chron
icle of December 81, 1881, there appeared a
statement in the form of a card from DR. ]. B.
Henion, of this city, recounting his re-
markable recovery from Bright's disease of
the kidneys, after several doctors of promi-
nence had given him up, by the use of a prep
aration manufactured in this CITY and known
as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure
We are personally or by reputation acquaint-
ed with DR.. Henion, and we believe he would
publish no statement not literally true. We
are also personally or by reputation well &C
auainted with H. H. Warner & Co., proprie-
tors of this remedy, whose commercial and
personal standing in this community is of the
highest order, and we believe that they would
not publish any statements, which were not
literally and strictly true in every particular.

DR. Henion to try the remedy, which he did,
and was cured.
Now the republishing of his statement in
many of the leading journals of the day has

to me making many inquiries, but chiefly
whether the statement is true OR mere adj
vertisng dodge, etc, etc.
| beg, therefore, to anticipate any further
inquiries and save time and labor, and some
postage, by saying that the statement of DR..
Henion is true, SO far as it concerns myself,
and believe it to be true in all other re-

visited him in his sickness. I urged him to
take the medicine and would do the same
again to any one who was troubled with dis
