1t affords pleasure to say that have recovered
from severe case of skin disease through the use
of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES. My case which is
known to many of our best physicians and to thous
ands of citizens, has been reported fully in the
daily papers, and those who interested are re-
ferred TO it. 1t is not of it. however, that / now
propose to write. but of some features which have
invariably found to accompany the treatment of
skin and blood diseases which unnecessarily retard
a cure, These are: l. A lack of knowledge as TO
how the remedies suggested are to be used. 2.
Careless or spasmodic use of them. 3. Neglect of
proper sanitary and hygenic measures and auxiliary
treatment. A. Want Of patience necessary to eff
feet permanent cure. 1t would seem hardly
medicine to master the directions and general phi
losophy of treatment recommended by which alone
he can expect to make But such is often the
case. Many do not half learn how to obtain all the
efectof the remedies because they do not half read
the pamphlet accompanying them, entitled Diseases
OF the SIN aud Blood, and Hoo to Cure Them
Others know so much more than the originators
that they feel in need of instruction In either
case there can be no great success. The CUTIcURA
REsoLyENT the new blood purifier, should be taken
internally and CUTIcuRA and CuTIcURA SOAP the
great skin cures, applied externally many times
per day as found TO agree with the nature of the
disease ana regularity and faithfully persisted in.
Careless or spasmodic use of them cannot be ex-
pected TO fayorably affect diseases which have been
years in reaching chronic state Nor is 1t reason
able TO hope for speedy in cases tortured for
years BY physicians with mercury arsenic, zinc and
lead, Blood humors, which are born in the system
in many cases, and in others have poisoned the
blood for years. must be patiently treated with all
the aid obtainable of nourishing food and whole
some exercise, TO make permanent cure. In my
own case have experienced SO much of failure, of
dependency, of useless expenditures, Of worthless
advice, of long, increased suffering, instead of
speedy relief promised, OF ignorance of supersti
ton. of poisons and poisoners that feel it both
duty and pleasure not only TO recommend to all
sufferers from every form of skin and blood diseases
these pure and wholesome remedies, hut TO empha-
size those points which have rendered a cure In my
possible, viz; intelligent faithful and per-
sistent use of the CUT1cURA REMEDIES.

The Chicago Tribune thinks the Ohio
Democrats Numbered in the nomination of
Hoadley, and the Louisville Journal jumps
up with the exclamation that a few such
blunders would send the Republican party
kiting. We have great respect for this ex
clamation of the Journals. In one way Or
another it has been spread upon the air SO
many times and for so many years, that it
has outlived the age of monotony and be-
come valued friend. The terrible doom
pronounced upon Republicans by the De-

sive as the good time coming for which the
boys for ages past have been requested to
wait little longer.

Independence Day.

Portland purposes to observe this indie
pendence Day after the old and honored
fashion. There will be the firing of guns,
the tiny explosions of India crackers, the
exhibition OF fireworks, and the usual fuss
and feathers of men who walk or ride in
professions, for the benefit of the young and
Oh those who, mature in years, are still
youthful In heart and can recall and repeat
with glee the simple and innocent pleasures
OF boyhood. For those who, wearied with
toll or worried with circumstance, are un-
able to enjoy the pastimes of youth and ear~
~ manhood there remains the rest of the
good oid-fashioned programme, the reading
OF the Declaration, the grafton, and the OBJ
servance by civic bodies of memories pecul-
lar to the day and customs hallowed by wears
of precedent. The Grafton will be of espec
ial interest to the people of Portland; for it
deals not only with the absolution of our al
legianee to the British Empire, but especial
iy with the settlement of the city and the
lie and deeds of its doughty founder, George
Cleeves The orator, the Hon. w. w.

the task-indeed, it is labor of love, not a
task, with him-and his address, which we

BILE features of notable celebration.

HARTFORD Courant: Now that the toy
pistol is again offered for sale it will be we'll
for parents to recall the sad list of fatal ac-
cidents which followed the national celebra-
ion year ago. For two or three weeks
after the Fourth every daily paper contained
a long record of deaths from lock-iaw re-
sulting from injuries inflicted by the toy
pistol There were 6s cases in New York.
S9in Massachusetts, 10 in this State and so
on through the country. This villainous
little instrument proved more fatal than
cyclone. Nobody's boy is safe who is
equipped with this toy or has playmate
thus equipped. If boys must have pistols
let them be provided with the regular arti-
Giles and taught how to use them. In many
places the sale of the toy pistol is prohibited,
but there are plenty of thoughtless boys who
VIII buy them because they are cheap. The
men who sell them ought to be punished as
theartless criminals.

THE swindIers of New York have found
new field for their operations in defrauding
the Italian emigrants who, in weekly
swarms, come from Europe to that city. The
frauds are of the most shameless description,
and so transparent that no one who has been
q month in this country would ever be tax
en- in by them. But the Italians have no
advisers, and so hire themselves out to plau-
sible parties and pay from 81 to $50 for stu
atoms from which they are discharged next
day. The case is a good one for the Italian
Consuls to interest themselves in; but, some
how or other, the Italian Consuls seem to
lose their interest in their fellow country
men after the latter have cometo our shores.

Will Power of an Ok.

An TX appeared without warning
in an iron-monger's shop in Stam-
ford, England. The damage done,
estimated at twenty-one shillings,
was the basis OF a suit which ulti-
mately reached the Queens bensh
division, and called out judgment
from Lord Coleridge and Mr.. Justice
Stephen. The county court held the
owner of the OK responsible. Lord
Coleridge took profound view of the
question. He said of the OK that it
was an animal with much stronger
will than powers of perception.
Therefore, though it was a case of
trespass, in the judges opinion, the
will force of the OK was chiefly re-
sponsible for the intrusion, and not
the negligence of the owner, OF which
there was no Standardization Id

Sagacity Of Dogs.

a curious story of canine sseacity
Is reported in the Cologne journals
The owner of q number of rabbits
near Barnuci found that for six con-
secutive nights one OF hia rabbits was
stolen from the house which he had
made for them out OF wooden case,
which stood a few inches above the
ground. At the top OF it an opening
had been made about the width OF
two bands, which was closed at night
by board on which heavy stones
were laid. The houee having thus
been secured, and as i. was found
each morning that only one rabbit
had been stolen. and that all the rest
were quite uninjured. it was consid-
cred impossible for a weasel to have
effected the theft. It vas, the; efore,
supposed that human hands had
been at work. The owner conse-
quently first made the opening more
secure by mailing down one side of
the board and covering il With grass
and stones. He then bid himself
near by. il order to watch for tho
thief. At l o'clock IN the morning
he beard noise at the rabbit house,
and was not little astonished to see
two dogs instead of man on top of
it. One was q large dog of the neigh
borhood. we'll known to him, cross
between a Bernard snd a large
woolly collie, feared by all other
dogs. The second was stranger, a
small terrier, just slender enough to
get through the hole into The rabbit
house. The big dog, who on other
occasions never noticed his smaller
comrades, had evidently come to an
understanding with his little friend
about the nocturnal rendezvous. The
big dog scratched away all the grass
and the stones, dragged up the board
and let the terrier through the hole.
The latter returned in few minutes
with rabbit in his mouth, which be
presented to bis great friend, and
both proceeded 10 devour their sup

What Caused an Actress
Death.

A painful moral is pointed BY the
recent death of Mrs. Neil Dennison.
a daughter-in-law Of Elk Governor
Dennison OF this State. She was
only IN her twenty-eighth year and
said TO have been exceedingly pre-
possessing in appearance. When
misfortune snd poverty began to bear
heavily upon her, she concluded to
use her vocal powers on the stage,
and only few weeks ago began in
St. Louie. In a few days she was
taken down with pneumonia, of
which she yesterday died At this
season OF the year, with the sudden
changes and the unusually severe
weather, the stage is full OF dangers
even to the most robust constitutions,
and must, therefore, be of special
danger to ladies of fraiI health. Mrs.
Dennison's illness was caused by
wearing thin clothing on the stage

THE FRANkENSTElN TRESTLE.
A BRoKEN SWITCH on THE PORTLAND AND
OGDESSBURG.
AN ENGINEERS STORY.
Edward IA. Crosby.l

Edward II. Crosby.l
II had been blowing steadily all day
long, not in q boisterous. tempestuous
way, but quietly and persistently, as if
the fea,hery flakes which were rapidly
piling themselves one upon the other on
the frozen ground had come for long
stay Towards night the wind began to
rise, and when the darkness settled down
q moderate winters storm was raging.
We were waiting in the little station q,
l. for the down train, telegraphed
an hour and half behind time, aud we
were endesvoring to keep warm around
the small air-tight stove which served as
the only heating medium in the low
studded apartment. Lis a place OF
little importance except as railroad CEN
ire, for here two trunk lines cross each
other, and it is also the point where To-
comotives were changed on the different
trains. With the exception of the hustle
and excitement incident TO Z junction
station, there was but little to attract q
tourist, and the few natural charms the
place possessed at this time were hidden
beneath the soft covering Of snow. SO
the weary walters were forced by desrth
of amusement, as well as the storm, TO
while away the time, as best they could,
in the depot The different time tables
were perused, the flaming advertisements
scrutinized, all to no purpose, for the
hands of the monotonous ticking clock
crept around the dial with that tardy pace
peculiar to railroad time-pieces when one
is waiting for a belated train.
The conductor who was to take charge
Of the express train, came in to warm
his hands BY the little stove, and soon
the party was increased by the eng gineer,
whose machine could be dimly seen. fal
down the track, ready for the expecte d
charge.
bad night, Bob said the conductor
" Better come in and warm up. Shell
not be here for an hour yet"
The engineer made some reply, and
Joined the circle around the stove. He
was a man of slight build, dropping
shoulders, and perhaps not up to the av'
erage height. Rather efeminate at frs
sight, until one noticed the square firm
chin, the quick, steady eyes, and the
lines about the mouth, which showed
that beneath that calm face and quiet
manner lay the will both to do and dare
He had been selected especially to rul
this night express on account Of the dan
ger of the position, for the down trail
was frequently late. and the lost tint
must be made up before reaching tn
end of the road in order to meet connec
tions. Time and nothing but the cool
ness and judgment of the engineer hat
brought this train to its destination il
safety. and Bob Jennings. as he wa
called, had been remarkably fortunate
and had never met with serious accl
dent. The running of the two trains uI
to L. and back to the city constituted
his days work. The position was re
sponsible one, the remuneration goo'
and the lob" as the boys termed ii
was looked upon with envy BY Bobs fel
low engineers.
