"A Cure for Sciatica

From Vanity Fair, November 25.
A cure for neuralgia-and, as am told, an
unfailing one-is too valuable not to be re-
corded:
An English officer, who served with dis
tinction in the war with Napoleon, was once
laid up in a small village in France with a
severe attack ofsciatica. Itso happened that
at that time tinman was being employed in
the house where he lodged, and this tinman,
having been himself soldier, took an in
terest in the officers case and gave him the
cure which, in this instance. succeeded i'm
mediately and forever, and which am about
TO set down. 1t is, at any rate, so simple as
to be worth 4 trial.
Take a moderate-sized potato, rather large
than small, and boil it in one quart of water.
Foment the part affected with the water in
which the potato has been boiled as hot as it
can be borne at night before going to bed;
then crush the potato and put it on the affec-
ted part as a poultice. Wear this all night
and in the morning heat the water, which
should have been preserved, over again, and
again foment the part with it as hot as can be
borne. This treatment must be presevered
with for several days. 1t occasionally re-
quires to be continued for as much as two or
three weeks, but in the shorter or longer time
it has never yet failed to be successful.

THE democrats are always swift in their
complaints about the white republicans not
recognizing their colored brethren by running
them for Office but when, as in the case Of
Washington county, the colored men have a
majority and actually run and elect colored
men for office, the howl of the prosecuted
democrats is excruciating.
THE Fort Worth Republican calls an appli
cant for the position of postmaster of that
town "a little goggle-eyed, sleek, Shiny, slip
perry sneak, who has allowed his wife's fur
niture to be pawned to buy bread while he
was strutting around Washington City wear
ing gold-rimmed eyeglasses, and talking big
about his anticipations," and prints his

Men Rorn 10 Good Lnek.

Albert Bern, young printer Of
Pottsville, Pa, inspired by love for a
young lady to do something to better
his condition. went several years ago
on prospecting tour to Colorado. He
was showed up for four months in the
Gnnnison country, and never saw q
human face. In the spring he con-
tinued work on a claim he called the
Eva Bell, but the little money he pos
sessed was soon exhausted, and he was
hopeless, when party of New York
capitalists came along and offered him
SIC, 900 for two thirds interest in the
mine, they agreeing to work it and give
him third of the profits. He joyfully
agreed, and in q weeks time he was on
his way to his former home to claim
the hand OF his sweetheart. Hardly
had he been comfortably settled, when
he was offered $50, 600 for his remain
ing one-third interest in the Eva Bell,
so Chat his mining speculation yielded
him 100000. A Philadelphia has
had similar experience Of sudden good
fortune when reverses had made him
hopeless. He had worked claim
until he had spent all that he
possessed, and returned to Phila-
delphia in time to witness the constable
dispose Of his household effects. The
next day he received telegram offer
ing him $4,000 for an interest in a
mine that he thought WORTHLESS. He is
not pressed for money now.

Vivid Pen Picture Of q Great Painting

vASAu On = AoesHAO VI = UACnt hhu1uf.
The Grand Duke Constantine Of Rus
STA went last week to see Munkaczy's
work, "Christ Before Plate" Just as IL
was being packed for its journey to
Vienna, where it commences its tour
through Europe. Munkaczy exhibited
his painting, a. we at the time stated, al
Sedelmeyers gallery, where 200, 600 per.
sons had the privilege Of viewing one Of
the most remarkable pictures of this cen.
tury. Everybody admired the grandeur
Of its conception, the grouping and It
mastery color, drawing.and perspective.
Only one reproach was brought against
IL The expression Of the features Of
the Christ was thought too human. 1t
was face of ideal beauty and OF strik-
ing asceticism, but it was thought that
the naughty look and the bitter con-
tempt lurking about the mouth and the
severity Of the brow did not harmonize
with the infinite charity Of the Savior
even in the midst Of His prosecutors.
With courage and q conscientiousness
which do him honor, Munkaczy went to
work again. He had conceived Christ
meeting His sdversaries by proud,
philosophic disdain. He wished to
represent lawgiver confident ia the
eternity Of His work, and despising
those who think they can destroy IL by
destroying its author. Public criticism
showed him that even the modern mind
could not understand Christ without
the Divine charity and infinite pity
which have been handed down as ira
dition through centuries. Munkaczy
closed the room where his picture was
on view. He took up his brush again,
and the head OF his Christ is all that
the most pious believers in the Divine
mission Of the Savior can desire. It
remains the ideal OF human beauty, but
its brow is gentle aud humble the eye
is full of pity and sorrow, and the
mouth seems to be breathing pardon
and prayer. The work has become q
perfect and irreproachable masterpiece
