~ ''> ~~NS
Providence, August 81, 1882.
EDITOR oF BosToN HKRALD:-
Dear Sir,-During my term Of service In
the Internal Revenue Department Of the
United States, at the time my Office wasin
this city, I was afflicted with O severe at.
tack Of Kidney disease, and at times suffer-
ed intensely. / received the medical nd.
vice Of some Of our best physicians for q
long time, without being benefited by their
prescriptions. Being discouraged by the
failure Of thedootors to help me, and being
urged to use Hunts Remedy by Q friend
who had tested It's merits, although reluc.
tant to try . patent medicine, I wa finally
induced to try the Remedy. and procured
wo bottles of II, and commenced takingit
faithfully according to the directions.
Before I had taken It three days the OK.
circulating pains In my back had disappear.
ed, and before ! had used two bottles I was
entirely cured. Whenever, from over-ex.
ertion or a violent cold, the pains In my
kidneys return, o few doseso Of Hunts Rem.
edy quickly effeotsa cure.
Before closing l beg to mention the re-
markable cure OF o friend OF mine In New
York City, to whom l recommended this
valuable medicine. He was suffering
severely from an attack which was pro.
pounced by his physician O decided case Of
Bright'sD Disease OF the Kidneys. I obtain.
ed two bottles OF Hunts Remedy for him,
andhe commenced taking II, and began to
improve at once, and v AZ speedily restored
to health, and he attributes the saving OF
his life, under the blessing Of q mercifuI
Providence, to Hunts Remedy.
Another friend of mine In New York, TO
whom / recommended Hunt's Remedy, was
suffering severely from Kindey disease, and
was entirely cured Of 1t after using this won.
derful medicine only q short period.
Feeling deeply grateful forthe great bene.
fits experienced by my friends and myself
from the use of Hunts Remedy, / feel il t.
be my duty, as well as o great privilege. t.
furnish you this voluntary and unsolicited
statement Of facts for the information Of
yourlarge number o readers, many Of whom
sr~undoubtedly suffering from this widely
spreading courge, and I believe that 1t Il

will cure all cases Of Kidney diseases tina
can be cured.
Ishall be pleased to confer with any on,
who may desire an interview regarding tn,

"Reminiscences Of Apache Outbreaks.
Tucson "a. IT, Star.

Tucson "A T. Star. tt
At the time OF the outbreak Of the
White Mountain Apaohes last summer,
all the troops at Fort Verde, Fort
Apache, Fort Mcdowell and Fort
Whipple were ordersd to take the
field. Capt. Aana Chaffee was then
stationed at Camp Mcdowell in com
mand of his troops, l., of the 9th
cavalry, and the post, and received
orders to proceed to Villa Rye, toward
the scene of the ~depredations, and
there await the arrival Of Major Mason
from Prescott with more troops. AS
1t Is only two days ride from Mo
Dowell to Wild Rye, and FIVE from
Prescott, Capt. Chsffee arrived at that
place two days In advance of Major
Msson's command. He left Mcdowell
ON the 9th of June and reached Wild
Rye on the 18th, and proceeded to
await the arrival of his superior
officer. While there Q courier, MI.
Ligsby, of Green Valley, came up and
stated that Indians were raidipg in
the valley, and among other minor
depredations had killed his brother
and MI. Meadows, and wounded John
and Henry Meadows, the latter of
whom died from the effects Of his
wound. Immediately on receipt Of
this information Capt. Chalics, with.
out awaiting orders, sent Q courier
back to Mason, saying that he would
at once start In pursuit. Placing him.
self at the head of his command he
started for green valley, pausing there
only long enough to strike the trail.
The country through which they fol-
lowed it by forced marches, pursuing
only long enough to take food and
rest their horses, can only be described
as the toughest through which q
white man ever trod. AS we once
heard 1t remarked, 1t looked as though
during the creation 1t had been Gods
workshop, and the scraps had never
been swept. From one canyon into
another the trail led, each seemed
more difficult than the last, the troop
passing hundreds of places where, had
the Indians halted and lain In amoush
they could have snnihilated the com.
mand. One who has never rode
through the almost impossible coun.
try in the mountains OF Arizona can
form an idea of II. 1t Is impossible

cipitate both to a cruel death. Late
on the evening of the 18th, the troop
had reached Big Dry Wash, and were
thinking of going into camp for the
night, when, -as they were
passing through o canyon known
as Chevelon'B Fork, they
were suddenly greeted by q binding
volley from each side of the canyon.
AS quick as a fash Chaffse turned in
his saddle and gave the command to
charge, and with q defiant yell they
rode out of the murderous death trap.
As soon as this maneuver had been
accomplished, thecommand was given

ON BOSSISM.

MI. Roscoe Conkling was a guest
at a recent meeting of the Saturday
Night Club" in New York City. OF
course the ex-senator was called
upon to make a speech, and of course
he made one. In making it he re-
ferred to some who were influential
in shaping the affairs of the govern
ment as merely the players of push
pinsover the rot and rubbish of low
tricky politics." These he did not
dignity by calling them boss =s. But
there were those who had q right to
the title of ~"leader," and added the
gentleman: Leader is a term of
opprobrium, an epithet, nowadays.
To be a leader now is to be a boss,
and there is no end of men who think
it desirable to deride and pull down
bosses. The so-called fight against
bosses is the particular term that a
certain class of men give to a raid
upon superiority. Point out to me a
boss and 1 will show you a man who
by virtue of his ability deserves to be
a boss" Which being read between
the lines mean that Mr.. Conkling,
''by virtue of his ability, deserves to
be a boss" and that there is no end
of men who think it desirable to pull
him down. MIR. Conkling is good
on bossism.

hi TRAITOR MOST.

A little light has recently been let
in upon the career of this arch agita-
tor which places him in a rather un-
enviable position before the world.
In fact it shows him to be a traitor to
the cause he pretends to champion.
1t is said by one who processes to be
informed that he met certain officials
of the Austrian Government upon
one occasion and deliberately made a
bargain for a stipulated price, to be
paid in money, to betray all the Sc
crets OF the workingmen's societies IN
Europe with which he was as>oci-
ated. His services as an informer
were accepted, and he turned over to
the Government papers, documents
and other information relative to the
socialistic party. A show was made
of putting Most in prison, to throw
the public, and especially his party,
off their guard, and he was kept in
Jail five weeks and let go with his ill
gotten gold. 1t is alleged, further,
that Most was not a high-priced vii
lain and did not charge much for his
treachery. He then proceeded to
France and then to England, posing
a champion of the laboring people,
and, it is alleged, betraying them for
money in other countries as he did
in Austria. The same authority ex-
presses the opinion that it will pay to
watch him in this country, as he is
evidently after money and will not
stand upon the order of his getting it.

The Cyclone In Illinois,

.CHICAGO, May 1S.-The daily News
advices from Harvard, Ill.,, says a
cyclone, probably the same one
which swept everything at Racine,
struck that place this evening, de-
mOlishing a number of houses and
killing several people.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 1S.-At 7
o'clock this evening a heavy thunder
storm accompanied by a strong wind
passed over this city. It was partic-
ularly severe in the southern
part of the city, but did no special
damage except to trees. The storm
was the edge of the tornado that
swept through the country two miles
to the south of here and which bore
to the northeast destroying a large
amount of property. Places where
the storm struck are not connected
with by telegraph or telephone and
details are not known but those in
this city who saw the funnel shaped
cloud passing over the country and
heard the rumbling and crashing
storm are certain that particulars will
show a vast amount of damage to
persons and property.

GALVESTON, May 1S.-At Denison

cyclone demolished the property of
General Greene, and several persons
were injured but NJ lives lost as far
as heard from. At the same hour a
fierce storm with the appearance of a
cyclone swept over Hillsboro and
Pilot Point.
OMAHA, May ia cyclone swept
through the eastern portion of the
State this evening, wrecking several
houses and two school buildings at
Valparaiso. It fatally injured a
woman and two children. The wires
being down details are unobtainable.
The cyclone touched the southwest
portion of Omaha doing slight dam
age to several houses but no injury to
persons.

In order to create a greater demand
for the silver dollar monometallists
suggest putting silver enough in it to
make 1t an object for foreign specula-
tors in the metal to purchase it and
ship it from the country. He has a
long head who conceived the idea.
But why not apply the principle to
all other articles of traffic? For in
stance if Dakota wheat is dull at 81
cents a bushel how easy it would be
to make it lively by calling five
recks or IS pounds a bushel. Or if
wool is quiet at 30 cents a pound it
could be made active by selling twen-
ty ounces at the same price. Our
silver miners should appreciate this
