To Whom il nan Concern.

In the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat and Chron
icle of December 81, 1881, there appeared q
statement in the form of card from Dr. j. B.
Henion, Of this city, recounting his re-
markable recovery from Bright's disease of
the kidneys, alter several doctors of promi-
nence had given him up, by the use of prep
aration manufactured in this city and known
as Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.
We are personally or by reputation acquaint,
ed with DIR. Henion, and we believe he would
publish no statement not literally true We
are also personally or by reputation well &C
quaintcd 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.

To the Editor Of the Lining Church, Chicago, H.:
VIII you allow the following card, personal
to myself, to appear in your widely -circulated
paper!
There was published in the Rochester Demo-
crot and Chronicle of the 31st of December
last, statement made by j. B. Henion, NJ.
d., narrating how he had been cured OF
Bright's disease of the kidneys, almost in its
last stages, by the use of Warmers Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure. l was referred to in that
statement as having recommended and urged
DIR. Henon 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
been the cause Of an incessant flow of letters
to me making many inquiries, but chiefly
whether the statement is true, or a 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-
spects. He is parshoner 9 mine and
visited him in his sickness. 'sed him tc
take the medicine and would the same
again to any one who was troubled with dis
ease of the kidneys and liver.

The Hanson Leaf.

The "Hansom'' cab, an oddly-shaped
affair." resembles the hood part of an old
fashioned gig, running between two high
wheels, considerably behind the horse,
the drivers seat perched up behind the
entrance to the interior between him
and the horse through two doors that,
when shut, cover the legs of the passen-
ger, who can be still further protected
from the weather by glass window,
manipulated by the driver, and which
unfolds so as TO join the DOORS A small
trap-door in the roof affords communica-
ton with the driver.
As drivers the London hanson cab
bies excel the world. The skill dis
played by them while vending their
way at a terrific speed through such
thoroughfares as the Strand, Cheapside,
and Fleet Street is marvellous. Such
thing as collision never occurs. They
drive, as a rule, first-rate horses, from
the fact that there are none 50 vicious
that the hanson cabby cannot bring
under subsection. The vehicle is with
propriety called the patent safety, as no
accident happening to one of them can
possibly injure the passenger. The
horse is too far ahead to do any damage
by kicking, and were he to fall down,
or an axle to break, the body of the
vehicle is so low the fall would scarcely
cause a jar. As to running away, the
cabby' high perch and leverage against
the horses mouth, by the reins passing
over the top of the cab and then down
to the bit at an angle of forty degrees,

The cabbies' knowledge of the great city
is another source of wonder, because, if
the exact address is given they will
surely findit. They are hard class,
however, and although IA lively one will
make great deal of money, there are
very few of them who own cabs and
horses. They are either the property of
companies of job masters who take out
licenses for the cab, the cabby taking
out his simply as a driver, hence it is
that the number of the cab invariably
differs from that on the cabby's badge.
The average price of hire per day, in
GLIDING change of horses is from
eighteen to twenty-five shillings. Once
on the street they have the privilege to
stop at any public stand, and from
which they are compelled to answer
any call, and drive anywhere within the
city limits, provided their horse Is in
condition to co. this, in obstinate cases

essary, the nearest magistrate. While
in motion, however, though without a
load, 'they may pass a call unnoticed
and the police cannot interfere. The

which adds to their unsimiliarity to
other people, it consists of a reversion

David Davis said to some ladies'.
" Why do you permit yourselves to be
placed in the ignominious position of
coming here, begging favors of the Gov
eminent, where there are thousands ready
to crowd you to the wall and fight you
for every favor that you ask9 You all
look intelligent. Why do you not go
out and learn to become cooks, house
keepers, chambermaids, if you please,
and then you will be certain of a good
home and independence. People will
then be running after you, instead of
you running after them, and the posi-
ton Of respectable servant in good
family is one infinitely to be preferred to
that of hanging to some beggarly office,
dependent on the whim or will of some
bureaucrat.'' The ladies are said to
have ''founced OUT when the old man
had got thus far.

Laurent has found that any ordinary
good silvered glass mirror of any thick
ness may be rendered magical by heat.
A simple way of doing this is to heat a
brass tube and apply the end of it to the
silvered face. If the surface of the mir
ror is opposite screen the section of the
tube is reproduced in white; if it is turn
ed away from the screen the image
(Which is seen only after the screen isTe-
moved) is dark. A cold tube may be

chants of this city found 1t well-nigh impossi-
BILE to ship goods on Saturday, because OF
general strike of laborers at the various railroad
docks and depots. There are rumors OF an
impending strike by the train hands also, but
no definite step that looks toward such strug-
gle is known to have been taken. A steadily
increasing number of workmen who belong to
no union have been employed by miners and
manufacturers in place of the strikers, but
most of the great establishments are idle, in
Pittsburg and other places where the men de-
manded an advance, and there is nothing at
present to indicate that either side is ready
to yield than it was at the outset The fact
that some orders for manufactured iron have
recently been sent to Europe, even at the cur
rent prices, shows that no important advance in
price could now be made without inviting
great increase of imports. In Great Britain, as
in this country, the tendency of the iron mar
ket has for some months been toward lower
prices, and the fall since January 1 has been
about 81 10 in pig iron, 81 so in bar iron and
rails, and So rs in hoop iron.
