Suffered for Twenty Years.

Hon. JOSHUA Turu11L, of East Saginaw, Mich,
says: Count me among the enthusiastic friends of
Hunts Remedy. Ithas proven in my case all you claim
forit. Having suffered for about twenty years with
severe disease of the kidneys (Which our local physi.
clans pronounced Bright's Diseasc), made a journey
East to consult the eminent DR.. Haven, of Hamilton,
New York, of whose fame in this speciality l had heard
much. DIR. Haven examined me carefully and simply
said: Go and get a bottle of Hunts Remedy and take
according to directions After having Travelled SO far
for treatment, 1t struck me as rather funny to be dt.
rected to take a medicine which l might have bought
within a stones throw of my own door; but l was in
the doctors hands, and Of course l followed his advice,
and right glad was 1 that did so, for before l had taken
Hunts Remedy half O dozen times l found immense
benefit from it, and by continuing the use of it for a
limited time 1 recovered from my trouble entirely, ard
am o-day, 1 think, one Of the most rugged of rugged
Michiganders. The world is indebted to you. sir. for
the PRONUNCIATION of such a medicine. and l hope you
may not go without your reward"

Mules Of the Mine.

When the new electric lights in the
Big Mountain collicry, lear Shenan-
doah, were first put in operation last
week, seven dazed and dazzled mules,
which for five years had seen no brighter
luminary than a Davy lantern, turned
tail and fled into the depths of the mine.
The workmen tell interesting stories
about the habits OF colliery mules. their
toughness, their contentment and their
total depravity. Several months ago
the lower levels in the largest c%olliery
at St. Clair were flooded. work was
stopped, and all the mules were hoisted
to the surface. More than a dozen Of
them had passed eleven continuous
years in the mine, and had apparently
forgotten that there was a world Of grass
and sunshine. orwhen they were turned
out to pasture they huddled together in
evident alarm and for a whole day did
nothing but gaze at earth and sky. The
probability is that they were at first
blinded by the glare-a common expert
q with their kindred under similar
circumstances. Just as they were be-
ginning to enjoy their new life, work
was resumed in the mines, and they
went back to their old home in the dark
ness.-Bradtord (Pa.) Democrat.

The Black Leg.

We are frequently applied to in cases
of what the owners of stock suppose to
be black leg. We have had three such
applications the past week, with no de-
scription of the symptoms. nsuch cases
1t Is dangerous to prescribe. In fact it
is difficult to prescribe q remedy in any
of this class of cases. The disease is
called by various names, such as blain,
black tongue, anthrax, blackleg bloody
murrain, q larter evil, black quarter,
s%plenetic lever, etc. When it attacks
the tongue it is called blain. When it
attacks the throat it is maglignant sore
throat. When the intestines are at
tackled it is bloody m%urrain. When the
spleen is attacked it is splenetic fever.
III attacks the internal organs it is
anthrax. If it attacks the tissues of the
less or body it is black leg Or quarter
evll; And is in all cases blood poison.
ana in all forms it is a maglignant and
dangerous disease, which has and does
oallle the skill Of veterinarians. In all
forms OF this disease some recommend
bleeding, purging, and all kinds of he
roc treatment. But Periam says this
worse than useless.
But no safe prescription can be given

An Accurate Time.Piece.

While on the subject of
Waltham watches, we may mention that
we have seen q letter from the Com
mander of the Gordon Castle castle
line of Steam Packets), who was fortu-
nate enough to a v life at sea, and who
for his gallant conduct was presented in
September last with a Gold Keyless
Waltham Watch by the President OF the
United States, on behalf of the London
Local Marine Board. Referring to this
Presentation Watch, he says: T"When
/ left London the watch was six seconds
fast, and on my arrival at Singapore it
was only three seconds slow, a most ex-
%traordinary performance for a watch. as
I carried It on my person the whole
time. 1 compared it every day with my
thermometers on the passage out. and it
seldom OF ever differed one second from
them; in fact, 1 found it almost, if not
as good as my chronometers, which is a
great deal to say for a watch carried
about and subject to all kinds of %jolts."

Something Better Than Railroads.

During a Western trip of one Of New
York's railroad kings, made last year,
it became known through the passenger
coaches that his private car was at
tached to the train, and as the conductor
entered one of the coaches Il man from
Northern Indiana beckoned to him and
asked: 500
els Mr.. Gould's car with this ~train?"
eyes: sir
els Mr.. Gould in that carp"
"He is"
"Can l 60 in and see him?"
elf you can get in"
"Well, I'll try" said the man, as he
rose up. 1--WE got a model here of the
smartcst, cutest and best wasiling-ma-
sheen ever invented, and if Mr.. Gould
will drop his railroads and take hold of
this with me, I'll warrant him a steady
income, after the first year, of forty dol
lars q week"
He didn't succeed in entering the car,
and that may be the reason why Mr..
Gould is still in the railroad business

Arranging for Cremation.

rive cheerful-looking gentlemen sat
round a table at 8O6 Vine street, last
night and advanced the National Gre.
nation Society from the nrel;n,;nary n
the f~ull-fedged stage. Books and ma.
pers were scattered before them Letters
say ABOUT ready for consideration. the
pc eeIaLaatary mace notes so steadily that
ne naa scarcely time to talk, and every
liuicatlon Of q lively business was pres
ent to the visitor. The evening work
was principally the consideration of re.
quests Tor admission, letters of ino1irv.
ina the adoption of necessary rules. and
oy the time the adjournment was effect
Gu the society was made fully ready to
go on with its work. The organization
which is the first of its kind in Amer,
lea, was started about a month aoo nv
SIX gentlemen and one lady. who
thought a popular move in favor of cre.
nation could be better induced throuoh
an organization than by mere individual
example. Otto Gantzer, who was one
OF the most active in ADVOCATING tho
idea, was made President. and. after
some rules had been drawn up, the Off
eau organization was completed by
electing Frank Rosenau Vice-President:
Frantz Joseph, Secretary; Max Rose,
na9, Financial Secretary; Rudolph
Solder, Treasurer, and David
Kleinman, Trustee. The rules re-
ferred principally to the methods in
which funerals should be conducted. and
provided that the society should furnish
n coffin. hearse and one carriage, and
pay all other expenses of transporting
the body from the late residence to the
crematory. If the relations of the de-
ceased wished to invite their friends or
make any of the usual display of a fu-
neral they were to have the ri light to do
so at their w expense. Communica-
ton with the owners of the crematory
at Washington, Pa, brought back the
answer that they would reduce bodies
to ashes at the rate of S45 apiece, and
it was decided to make the Washington
institution the active agent in CARRYING
out the society work. To provide a
fund for expenses a classified entrance
fee is provided, based on a somewhat
similar expectation of life to that in use
by life insurance companies. Persons
from 81 to 20 years of age will pay So
per year; from 30 to 33 years, 81; So to
80 years, So; 40 to A years, Sc; 45 to
40 years, $40; and So to 60 years, $15.
Members owe 60 years old will have to
pay the full expenses, and a class of
members who will not take active part
in the society's affairs will also be
charged the full price.-Phila. Press.

A Miners .tClose Shanao

A miner in the hills near Socorro,
New Mexico, made a lucky strike in a
wonderful manner lately. Two weeks
ago., While tramping over the rocks, the
Prospector suddenly discovered that his
haversack was on fire, caught probably
from the condensation of the SUMS raw
by, a p%rospector's glass which he carried
IN his kit. Now that haversack con-
famed about six pounds of blasting
powder, and our hero dropped the
bundle and got out of reach as fast as
his legs would carry him. The bundle
OF traps fell into a crevice in the rocks
and the powder soon exploded. The
prospector turned mournfully to gather
up such of his effects as were uniniured
by the explosion, when something in
the appearance of the shattered rock
struck his eye, and he examined it
closely-it was horn silver. The now
Jubilant miner located a claim at once,
which he called the 'sclose shave" and
in less than a week disposed of one
third interest at $13, 900. The name OF
the "honest son of the pick and shovel''
is John Quincy Adams, and he halls
from Western Ohio. John is well
known in Socorro County, and receives
the congratulations of his friends in a
modest manner. John Adams 'sclose
shave'' is a by-word now in the mining
camps.-Lds Vegas Gazette.
