A LITTLE fve-year-old damse, who can
ask more questions in minute than all the
family can answer in an honr, has to be
often reminded not to ask questions unless it
is about something she wants to know. The
other morning this piece OF mischief walked
her auntie out of sound sleep, "Now
auntie, here's question that ask because

Mr.. WIN. WESTFALL.
OF Duchess Co.. N. ", so Years of Age,
Suffered Continually for Many Years
from Stone in the Bladder.

Great age and painful disease are sad combina-
ton. Yet Mr.. William Westfall, formerly of
Rock City, Duchess Co., n. Y, now Of Washing
ton Hollow, in the same county, came to the office
Of DR.. David Kennedy, the eminent Physician
and Surgeon Of Rondout, n Y, some time SINCE
in condition to excite the sympathy Of the most
cold-blooded and hard-hearted person in the
world, We say he came-he was, rather carried
to the Doctors office, for he totally helpless,
and bore the weight OF 30 years besides. He had
suffered long from Retention of Urine, and had
all the symptoms of an aggravated case of calcu-
lus formations OF the bladder The usual nstru-
mental examination revealed the presence in the
bladder Of urinary calculus of uncommon size.
DR.. Kennedy frankly told Mr. Westfall that owing
to his age and debility, operation was out OF the
question, but that he could, by the prescription Of
"Kennedys Fsvorte Remedy" together with
local treatment, make him comfortable and leave
him to live out all his days The outcome Of this
was that the patient enjoys good health to this
day.
THE REASONS WHY
DIR. KENNEDYs "FAvoRITE REMEDY" Is being
extensively used by our people are as follows: 1t
is combination OF vegetable alternatives 1t is
pleasant to the taste, adapted to both sexes and
all ages is effective in affordng immediate relief
in all cases of Kidney troubles, Liver Complaints,
Constipation of the Bowels and arrangements
peculiar to women At the same time purifes
the blood, thus giving tone and strength to the
system debilitated by disease or age. "Dr Ken

A Story of Cairo.

A writer in AL the Year Round
says: A great scandal occurs to my
mind, as happening at Cairo in 1880.
Scheikh Hamuda Berda lived in a
quarter of the town less fashionable
than is generally affected by
wealthy saints who have gained
public recognition. With modest
assurance he declared that Allah
had personally granted him author
ity to cure all diseases. By the
hand of Mahomet himself, the mer-
ciful one confded to him drugs and
lotions which restored the sight,
replaced an amputated limb, and
so on. AS for mere pains and
aches he removed them at a word.
During many years residence at
Cairo, a vast number of persons
prOfited by his supernatural skill,
but he specially laid himself out for
female patients. In later times, the
good man found his practice so large
that he could no longer attend poor
people, From every part of Egypt,
Arabia and Syria, wealthy ladies
came to consult the Scheikh, and of
course they brought handsome
- resent.
One day. toward the middle of
last year, the young wife of IZzet
Bey, a colonel in the Egyptian ser
vice, proposed to visit him for an
affection of the eyes. The colonel
sent her with a proper retinue Of
attendants, who returned, l know
not why, after depositing their mis-
tress at the door of Hamuda
Berda. She entered with IA
vOrite slave, but never came out
again. For some days her husband
was not alarmed, since sur
gical operations demand certain
time. Anxious at length, he called
upon the Scheikh, whose manner
was not reassuring. He protested
that the young woman had left on
the sevening of her arrival, cured.
The colonel was not satisfied. He
appealed to the police, and they
searched the dwelling infinitely. |
presume that IZzet Bey is man of
influence. Nothing was found in
the sanity house, but a very foul
and maIOdorous well in the garden
drew their notice. Removing the
cover they found the cOrpses OF the
young woman and her slave among
such mass of putrid bones as
showed that wholesale murder had
been going on for years. Brought
before the Cadi, the saint confessed
his habit ofstrangling every woman
who came to consult him, if her
jewelry seemed worth the trouble.
Such hideous stories now land then
shock the grave, dumb population
of the east.

but shortly after prominent citi-
zen of Cleveland came in.
To whom Mr.. Garfield had evil
IDENTIFY telegraphed in relation to
the matter. He protested against
its publication, and as the reporter
continued resOlute in the position
he had taken, all Mr.. Little could
do was to discharge him from the en-
ploy of the paper and refrain from
publishing the article.
From the fact that neither for
newspaper reporters nor IN response
to the solicitations of his intimate
political friends, would Mr.. Garfield
formally deny the Morey letter, Mr..
Little feels very much inclined to
believe that he wrote in the haSty
manner that Garfield himself adj
mitted that it may have been writ
ten.
While there was nothing person
ally dishonorable in Mr.. Garheld's
holding the opinions on the Chinese
subject expressed by the letter, they
would greatly have damaged his
cause if they had gone undenied
at the time. The truth now cannot
either dishenor his memory or have
political effect. After election, Of
course, the excitement died away,
but the people were well convinced
that the letter was a forgery. That
this conviction sprung from the
efforts of Mr.. Garfeld's friends than
from his own act, is something that
the public have a right to know. 1t
is particularly important to the
persons who were accused of the
alleged forgery, that the inner
history of the affair be understood,
and it is a wonder that they have
not taken steps long ago to bring it
to light for their own vindication.
It is a signifant fact that the
author Of the suppressed report was
appointed to a government clerkship
not long after Mr. Garfield took his
seat as President, and was in a way
to obtain something a good deal
better If Mr.. Guiteau had not
stepped in with his shot that was
heard around the world.

AN OBSTINATE REPORTER.


"Have you given any promise that
it shall not be published?" asked
Mr.. Little.
The reporter said there had been
no direct promise to that effect, but
after what had been said he did not
feel like publishing the article.
"But," said Mr.. Little, you were
sent there under pay from this
paper to get the report Just as YOU
did get it. It belongs to the paper.

The reporter still insisted that it
could not be published, and taking
the manuscript he had written, put
it in his pocket. Mr.. Little. from

Then the reporter said that If he

army and drove the Lombards from Italy
and placed the Pope at the head of the
conquered provinces. This was the be-
ginning of the temporal power of the
Popes of the Roman Catholic church.
The French monarch's grant to the Popes
was not only confirmed by his son and
successor, Charlemagne, but additional
provinces were added to the temporal
possessions of the Pope, by that mon
arch. These provinces were ruled over
by the Roman Pontiffs from the eighth
to the nineteenth century. The seizure
of these provinces by Victor Emanuel,
and their annexation to Italy by a
ple5iscitum held under the auspices of
the Italian army, and the meeting of the
council in Rome in 1870, are
events familiar to all. On the righting
of this wrong, if wrong it be, hangs the
peace of Europe to-day, and all the signs
of the times point to Bismarck's being
an important factor in the solution of
this complicated question.
