THE MONOLITH.

Will It Crunblo and Decay7-Tho Ago oi
Miracles Not Yet Passel Away.
This relic of antiquity and Of civilization
as old nearly as the eternal hills, now
stands out in Central Park shorn of it's en-
cumbering tackle, an ornament aud monu-
ment Of which every New Yorker will be
proud. Since the monolith has been in
New York the "croakers'' have, with their
usual industry, commenced to prophesy its
destruction by stress OF weather. They
say that the shaft cannot stand this climate;
that by reason of peculiar atmospheric con-
ditions. radically different from those ex-
listing in the climate of Egypt, the stone
will crumble and decay. Well, all things
have = limit. Mutability is written
everywhere. But there does not seam to
be any cause to fear the immediate decay
of the monolith. It will probably stand in
Central Park for the next two thousand
years or so, which is certainly all that could
6e desired by the present generation.
While, however, Cleopatra's Needle may
for thousands OF years, the human form is
smitten by the vicissitudes of temperature
which prevail hereabout and it is stated
that physicians in New York have their
hands full in attending the sick and suffer-
ing. The Obeiisk is grand gift Of the
Oldest to the newest and best civilization.
But the gift Of healing is Of more
importance to the people just now.
Said gentleman to the writer:
Tell the world through the
press that I've been cured of chronic
Rheumatism, Of five years standing, by the
use of St. Jacobs OiI.-No, don't put my
name to tit will not add weight
to tho statement. But 90 around the city
and hear its praises" Said Mr.. P.
Scheung. now in the Medical Department
of Columbia college, and but recently
clerk in the pharmacy Of H. Adolph Engle,
No. 163 Aveaue A: @Ye 1 know some
facts in the case of a cure by St. Jacobs
OIL" MIR. Scheung then went ON to state
that while he was at Mr.. Engle's a gentle
10th Or 18th street, he could not remember
Jacobs Oil, through the kindly Offices of a
relative. Soon after the first bottle was
purchased. Mr.. Kemp's daughter went to
Mr.. Engle's store and bought three bottles,
stating that her father was getting along nice
ly since using the oil. About two weeks sub
sequent to this Mr.. Kemp called at the store
in person and thanked Mr.. Scheung very
much, saying it was the best thing he had
ever used. Mr.. Keup then stated that he
had been suffering with rheumatism for
fifteen years and found no relief until he
cried St. Jacobs Oil. A short time since,
Mr.. Kemp, who was restored to health,
called at the store and purchased
tive more bottles of st. Jacobs OIL remark
ing that he was going west and would not
be without the remedy for any thing in clse
his old enemy returned upon him. Nora
Mahoney, a chambermaid at the Grand
Union hotel, one of the largest and best
hOt5ls in New York, is now one Of the hap
piest girls in the city; whereas few days
ago she was perhaps one of the most mis-
erable. Her trouble was neuralgia. Her
cure was little short of miracle. Upon
being asked about her case, the girl at once
proceeded to tell Of her suffering. She
was attacked with neuralgia four weeks ago.
The malady finally grew so
bad that she could find no Fest night
Or day. Her face became very much swol-
len and the sain was of the most intense
character. She was told of st. Jacobs
Oil, secured q bottle, an dto her great de-
light, experienced relief almost simultane-
eusly with the first application. Several
applications Of the oil entirely relieved her
and her face resumed it normal condition.
She is now firm believer in St. jacobs
OIL, and has bottle ready for use should
the pain return. A number of people liy-
ing in the Grand Union Hotel, who wit
messed the great sutforings of Nora Maho-
ney, will testify to the cure recited above.
Mezzofauti, the wonderful Italian lin
guist, who knew sixty -four and talked for
ty-eight languages, turned his attention to
language because, when young priest he
found foreign sailor dying, who wanted to
confess, but could find no priest who could
understand him.
