Tar and Feathers.

Most people don't know what a

ing worse than a badge of infamy,
rather uncomfortable perhaps but not
painful unless the tar gets into the
eyes. This is a great mistake. | helped

plastered what though deal the process
was. We painted him all over pretty
thick with the broom, and some
enthusiastic vigilante poured few
gallons of tar over his head. Then the
feathers, taken from a big pillow,
were busted on him, and he stood out
white and fluffy in the starlight, like
some huge and grotesque bird. He
had to put his clothes on over the

in front of him The tar was so thick
on his head that it covered the hair
out of sight, and his poll shown in
the light of the car lamps like black
rubber ball just dipped in water. The
poor fellow was groaning, and l
couldn't help feeling mean at having
taken a hand at the job. You see the
body is covered with short hair and
when the tar hardens a little the
slightest movement causes acute pain
as if ones beard were being pulled
out with pinchers, hair by hair. Thea
there is the stoppage of perspiration
which would soon kill man if he
didn't make lively time in getting

the tar turns the stomach,

truths developed are astounding. l
therefore state. deliberately, and as a
physician, that believe more than one
half the deaths which occur in America
are caused by Bright's disease of the
kidneys. This may sound like rash
statement, but l am prepared TO fully
verifyit. Bright's disease has no dlstinc-
tive symptoms of its own indeed, it
often develops without any pain what
ever in the kidneys or their vicinity,
bat has the symptoms of nearly every
other known complaint Hundreds of
people die daily whose burials are au-
thorized by a physicians certificate of
Heart Disease" "Apoplexy," para
lysis" Spinal Complaint" "Rheuma-
tism," pneumonia, and other common
diseases, when in reality 1t was Bright's
Disease of the kidneys. Few physicians
and fewer people, realize the extent of
this disease or its dangerous and insidi-
Gus nature. 1t steals into the system
like a thief. manifests its presence by
the c0mmonest symptoms, and fastens
itself upon the constitution before the
victim is aware. 1t is nearly as heredi-
tary as consumption, quite as common
and fully as fatal Entire families, in
heriting it from their ancestors,
have died, and vet none of the
number knew or realized the mysteri-
Gus power which was removing them.
Instead of common symptoms it often
shows none whatever, but brings death
suddenly, and as such is usually sup
posed to be heart disease. As one who
has suffered, and knows by bitter expe-
rience what he says, | implore everyone
who reads these words not to neglect the
slightest symptom of kidney difficulty.
Certain agony and possible death will be
the result of such neglect and no one
can afford to hazard such chances.
am aware that such an unqualified
statement as this, coming from me,

land as a practitioner and lecturer, will
arouse the surprise and possible animos-
ity of the medical profession and aston
ish all with whom am acquainted, but
make the foregoing statements, based
upon facts which am prepared to pro-
duce, and truths which l can substanti-
ate to the letter. The welfare of those
who may possibly be sufferers such as

A Beautiful Lunatic.

On Thursday, Messrs, George
Clarke, Tom Whiffen, Prof
Lemoyne of crematory fame, Col
Frankau, one Daniel trohman, and
several others of the Rajah troupe at
the Madison Square theater, visited
Blackwell's island with commissioner
Hess. While they were in ward 3 of
the lunatic asylum a remarkably
pretty girl threw her arms around
Mr.. Clark's neck and sobbed "Oh,
my husband oh, my husband.
Take me away Take me homew
The nurse vainly tried to recall her
to herself. Clark turned pale Her
sobbing increased. He gently UNI
wound her arms from his neck, say
ing in soothing tones: That's all
r-r-right, my good girl. Be calm,
be calm.
He gently backed himself into the
hall and then ran like a deer. He
was stopped by the Hon. Arthur d
Williams, who urged him to go back
and humor the poor girl. assuring
HIM that his flight had excited all the
lunatics in the ward. He turned back
as white as sheet the perspiration
trickling from his brow. An affect
ing scene followed He assured the
girl that he would see chat she was
released. Her paroxysms increased,
and she chung to him with more fer
vor than ever. The Raiah troupe
were deeply affected All the la
dies sobbed. Then Within murmured
what a pity, and one Daniel Froh-
man wept aloud.
Finally the two nurses got the girl
under control She babe the actors
adieu, after Clarke had promised her
some ice cream. AS the party reached
the open air, Clarke moralized thus

At the Liverpool police court yester-

company was summoned by Mr. Her

of the forty-eighth section of the
Shipping Passengers act of 1855. The
complainant stated that he had been
travelling in Europe with his cousin
(Mrs Northbrook), to whom he was to
be married, and "a short time back he
took tickets for her, her children, and
himself to America, at the Paris
office of the company The tickets

found that the steamship Italy was to
