most. Each time when q robin so came tho
oatbrds opened their mouths, thrust up thoir
heads, and made great outcry They werc
begging, to the best Of their ability, for food.
The robins appeared to understand the appeal,
aud began feeding the hungry little catbirds,
They did not do what they had undertaken to
do by halves Each evening the female robin
sat on her own nest and warmed with her
body her own young, whilo tho male robin
took to the nest of the catbirds. In this way
both broods wero reared, the little orphans
growing up rs strong and lively as though they
had been cared for all through by their own
parent. Both broods are now able to fly, and
the young robins and catbirds still flock to-
gethor, but presently the latter will probably
leave and take up with their own kind.

GALvANo-MAGNErIo TREATMENT
Wonderful Success In the Cure OF Nearly
Every Species OF Disease.

Wonderful Success I'm the Cure OF Nearly
Every Species OF Disease.
Electricity and its numerous applications is
certainly the wonder Of this ceptury. Its
every use is magic, as the telegraph and tele-
phone attest, while as remedial agent it is
quite as marvellous. Tho latter fact is evil
denced daily by the remarkable cures made
by the electromagnetic treatment of Il. A..
Parsons & Co., at 1924 + street, which is q
branch of tho Baltimore institution. The
method of treatment briefly is to apply series
of armor to the patients body. For instance,
If it is case of spinal curvature, a section of
armor is placed over that region which con-
meets with the moisture Of the body and es-
tablishes an electric current through the af-
fected part.
This artificial current entering tho body
steadily infuses new life into the currents of
animal magnetism and n regeneration is the
result. The company have numerous testi-
monials speaking in praiseworthy terms of
| scores of wonderful cures already made and
| the possibilities of this method of treatment
arc as yet unknown. Reasoning upon tho
| hypothesis that in all diseases there Is dis
turbance of tho vital forces, and having
found by extensive experience that by their
electromagnetic treatment the equilibrium
of these forces is restored this firm boldly
announces that they will given positive
benefit or will mako no charge
for their treatment. The armor or
appliances which are used are their own in
ventions, and have proved eilicacions in every
instance where the patient has implicitly fol-
lowed their instructions. They have had the
most marvellous success in Baltimore for the
| past three years, aud the branch office estab-
lished here bids fair to rival the parent estab-
lishment in the Monumental City. They do
not seek to antagonize the medical faculty,
but rather court the investigation of practic-
ing physicians, being satisfied that careful
inquiry on their part will result in hearty
cooperation. The resident partner, who has
charge of the Office here, is himself physi-
clan of many years practice, and his re-
searches have led him to adopt the treatment
of the subtle agent which has wrought such
wonderful cures He will be found at his
office from 10 a. III. to noon and from 2 to p.
M, where those suffering from any malady
whatsoever will always be carefully advised,
and, if desired, skillfully treated.

with his overland stroke already alluded to,
it is easy to see how that wound could have
been inflicted, as tho head Mt every alternate
stroke goes i'm advance and with great power.
He performed his task to tho vory letter and
in the manner ho said he would, and he lost
his noble life by an accident such as might
have happened to q wanton boy playing in

"Mr. Kyle, were you familiar with Capt.
Webb's great feat of swimming the English
channelP'
Il was. Now that ho is dead, IL can do no
harm TO place 1t before the public in its truo
light, and it may prove interesting reading to
the wise sawboncs who predicted at tho time
that he would full and that he was rash, fool
hardy. and vain, If not, indeed, insane.
The Lancet great authority, poured out
upon him its vituperations, and cited facts (P)
and figures to prove that he could not main
tain his normal temperature for ten miles,
which would be when he had been in the
water five hours Other medical authorities
took up the subject and the madmans course
was severely condemned. Capt. Webb's own
father, doctor, sent his son long letter,
urging him not to attempt the feat, and prov
ing to him by scientific laws that he could
not hope to succeed. But he was firm. He
had his secret.
"At one time Capt. Webb was in charge of
n coasting vessel which sailed for Lapland
deck wrapped up in furs and flannel, tho Laps
would go out into the ice cold water and re.
main there for hours There was tho secret
he was after. How was it that they could
stand the cold so much better than he could 1?
He determined to learn tho secret, and plead
ing sickness sent the vessel home in charge of
the first officer. He lived with the people for
nine months studied their diet their method
of living, and lived as they lived. He then
returned to England and remained for two
years upon tho east coast of England, exist
ing upon blubber and the skins of fish.
He had learned the secret of maintaining
his normal temperature, and keeping tho
blood in tho veins and arteries in nearly the
same state of richness in the water. He
found no more blue veins, no more chills. He
outwitted the DOCTORS and discovered or, at
least, utilized, q scientific fact. If his chan
mel swim, which was so generally condemned,
at first proved nothing but tho uncertainty
of the knowledge of the wise men in whom
we trust when our lives are in danger, it was
| gain to the world"
Capt Webb had a great many medals, had

dearly loved. He was not, as many sup
posed, strong man. His success came from
his skill and science"

An American Who Dldn't Want to Fight.

u
An American student at Gottingen, the
son of prominent New York clergyman,
unintentionally gave offenso to three Ger
man students by brushing against them in
hurriedly passing along the street. They
went on fow steps, then came back and in
sisted on having satisfaction for tho insult;
he must fight duel with one of their num-
Der. He declined, saying 81 am an Ameri-
can, / do not fight" But they repeated,
I'VE must have satisfaction" He replied,
well, if you must, you can have it," and,
throwing Off his coat, went at them with his
fists. He knocked all three down and one of
them rolled in the gutter. Then, putting on
his coat, he walked away. Somewhat be-
wildered over the situation, tho three Ger
man students picked themselves up and went
their way. The American was not after
wrrd challenged to fight duel or otherwise

FIRST COMPANY OF VETERANS.
Enthusiastic Meeting Last Night-Com-
pany Officers Elected.

pany Officers Elected.
The Union Veteran corps, 1st company,
met at their armory last night pursuant to
adjournment. A resolution of regret for the
unofficial announcement of their intention to
participate in the reception Of the Light In
fantry corps was passed, which contained a
clause expressive of their good will toward
the returning soldiery, and explanatory of
thoir inability to parade, because of the non-
arrival of their muskets.
The corps then proceeded to the election of
officers. The members were unanimous and
enthusiastic in their choice of Capt. Myron
NJ, Tappan, of New York, agent of tho Rem
ington Arms company, as their captain.
With similar unanimity Maj. M. L. Urell was
chosen first lieutenant, Thomas Hynes, senior
second lieutenant; VIM. Ramsey, junior second
lieutenant, and John Clark, first sergeant.
Five honorary and six active members
were then accepted, bringing the active mem
bership to the number of seventy and the
honorary list TO twenty-seven. The corps
will receive their uniforms from George +.
Timms at an early date. Their muskets are
on the way, and they are in hopes of being
able to appear before long and take such
rank among the district organizations as
their energy NAV merit

A Mistake.

There are numerous ways in which
young folk can make themselves un-
pleasant to society, and one of the
most successful in this direction is an
attempt to be original. They imagine
they can turn the world round by some
eccentricity of dress or behavior, or by
some method of speech. In general,
they offend their friends, and delight
their enemies. AS a matter of fact,
people had better let well enough alone,
take up the customs of those about
them, and rest assured that what the
collective wisdom of the world agrees
to do, is on the whole best. Here and
there may be room for change, and
possibly for improvement. 1t might
be better, for instance, that engage
ments only lasted six months: that
drawing-rooms should be abolished as
useless, or nearly so; that wedding
breakfasts were improved off the face
of the earth, and that dozen .other
alterations were made in our social
customs. 1t is very noble, possibly
very heroic, to pose as regeneratOr of
society. All the same, people who are
content to take things as they are will
find the world wag more easily with
them than if they themselves troubled
to try to regulate the laws of glavita-
tion. In nine cases out of ten young
people will find the path of safety in
following customs which are the rule.
Originality may be exciting, but in
the majority of cases where it is tried,
it will be found to entail good deal
of trouble, and not little personal
worry.

May %. 1883: IL have used Hunts Remedy
IN my family fer over Ten years My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder.
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loIns and urination was accomplished with
the greatest OF agony. My friends thought
that she conld not recover. We tried doctors
and medicine, and although better at times
she wouid grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the uIinal as many as fifteen times in
a night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
femedy, and | concluded to try it; and after
using one bottle she was a good deal better,
the inflammatiC was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and fe no pain in the back and kidneys
She could attend to her household work
without rain, ard this had been great
burden to do. even the hghtest kind of work.
After using six tottles she was completely
cured. Since then 1 have had occasion to
/ use Hunts Remedy for kidney aud liver com
plants, and found it to be just "a represented,
and co sider it most wonderf il medicine.
