Mr.. c. II. Draper, of No. 223 Main street,
Worcester, Mass, volunteers the following
sHaving occasion recently to use a remedy for
kidney disease, applied to my druggist, Mr. d.
B. Williams, of Lincoln square, this city, and
requested hlm TO furnish me the best kidney
medicine that he knew of, and he handed me a
bottle of Hunts Remedy, stating that it was
considered the best because he had sold many
bottles of it to his customers in Worcester, and
they all speak of it in the highest terms, and
pronounce it always reliable. I took the bottle
home and commenced taking it, and tnd that it
does the work etfectually; and am pleased to
recommend to all who have kidney or liver
disease the use OF Hunts Remedy, the sure
cure"

the managing editor came in. Got at it at

reporter, telling the truth very literally.
The chief fixed the pay then and there,

FACTS ABOUT THE CROPS.


Information received by the Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture shows that there has
been great Improvement in the wheat crop.
The continued weather of the last few
days has been well suited TO the development
and the ripenng Of the grain. The crop has
been nearly all harvested, and is in a remarka-
bly, good condition, although short of the yield
of last year. Robert Mitchell, of Princeton, the
president Of the State Board of griculture, was
in the city yesterday, and stated that in south
ern Indiana the harvesting was about over, and
threshing will begin next week. He estimates
tue yield IN that section aG ahOut twO-thirds OF
the crop OF 1882. The re lorts from other parts
of the State, since harvesting began, have been
very favorable. The condition of the growing
corn is excellent and, judging from the present
prospects, the Secretary states that the yield Of
potatoes Will Do larger than ever before.

The Deadly Toy Pistol.


PhIIadeI phla Press.
The real toy pistol, though most inoccu-
ous-looking weapon. and making less noise
than respectable fire cracker, is far more
dangerous and deadly than the other and
should be summarily and effectually sup

paper cap or wafer containing illuminate of
mercury. When the cap explodes portions
of it fly off from the hammer and frequently

such poisonous nature that slight wounds
produced by the fragments of the wafer re-

Kentucty's Loss of Reputation.


The reputation of Kentucky is trembling
in the balance. Bob Woolley puts Colonel
Lewis Kean, one of the Governors staff in
Jail, and no blood is split In Lexington Mr..
Gcodloe calls Collector Swope a hypocrite
and traitor, and both gentlemen are sound
in body. Truly, this is deplorable state of
affairs, and we fear it will be but short
time until Kentuckian is no gamer than a
blue-bellied Yankee. The thought is not a
pleasant one and the reflection most unhap-
Ply, If Wooley had been shot and killed,
Kean dangerously wounded, Swope knocked
down and Goodloe severely knitted, it would
have brought the State into more prominence
than all the speeches Knott and Morrow
could make in lifetime.

Watterson Abroad.
Brooklyn Ea gle.


Mr.. Henry Watterson's visit to New York
consisted of one round of festivities. The
well-known editor was seized upon when he
first arrived by political and social magnates,
lutely limitless round of small dinners and
receptions. He has become well-known in
the streets here, and is pointed out rs one of
the notables though he is not quite so con-
spicuous this year as he has formerly been.
Heretofore he has invariably worn a suit of
white duck or flannel, ami carried a PALM
leaf fan in one hand and white cambria
handkerchief in the other, as he wandered
about the streets He was a refreshing and
amiable sight, and was admired no less by
the men than the women. But on this visit
he discarded his white garments and APP
peared in darker material. He is not quite
so conspicuous, but he does not suffer for
want of attention.

The Inventions of Colored Men.

Louisville Commercial.
The Atlanta Journal is mistaken in saying
that no colored man has ever obtained pat

has yielded him a large profit, and a colored
lawyer of this city has invented an apparatus
for registering the attendance at public meet
ings, which has been patented. Doubtless
there are many other colored inventors.
