Tt was Gail Hamilton. we believe
who devoted a whole book to demon
strate the total depravity and useless
ness of small boys, and particularly
those who are blessed with older sis
ters; and humorists and satirists have
made the urchin of the family the sub
ject of unlimited and inexhaustible
ridicule and amusement. It is there
fore with joy that younger brothers
throughout the world will welcome an
announcement of their ability and
value, as illustrated by an incident
which recently occurred at Williams
port, Penn. A young lady living in
that town was in the habit of carrying
pins in her mouth, as gir.s always do,
and swallowed one of them, which
lodged crosswise in her throat. After
the physicians had given up the case as
hopeless, the young lady's little brother
persuaded her to swallow a button, to
which was attached a string. When
the button was swallowed, the boy
jerked the string and dislodged the pin.
The young woman's throat was some
what torn, but not seriously injured.
Now, let the small boy have the
credit.

What industrial education does is
shown by it's effects on the industry
of la ,emaking in the island of Burano,
near Venice. In the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries 1t was eele-
brated as a seat for lace man
ufacture, but it had lost all its
prestige and the industry was nearly
extinct in 1860. In recent years. how
ever, by the exertions of philanthro-
pists and connoisseurs Of art, sc!Icol
of lacemakers was established there,
and the number grew from eight. in
1872, to upward of 800 in 1881. The
same viyor and evidence of financial
advantage from in truction in the art
of designing as applied to lacemaking
are noticed at Bruges, where the man
ufacture has been maintained since the
sixteenth century. There lacemaking
is taught in the convent and parish
schools. and the la;pmakers Of that
city, numbering 1000, are supplied
with designs by a system which is con-
trolled by the government.

HERETOFORE the English officers
who served in Egypt have made light
of the False Prophet. Trade has
been freely carried on in favor of the
rebels, and the officers of the regular
army have gone over to the Prophet
and they have apparently spread dis
content among the Egyptian troops
by circulating letter extolling the
Prophet as the true Mahdi, kind, good
and frugal, who gives all his wealth
to the poor. They claim too that the
Mahdi has 100000 troops, well sup
piled with Remingtons, ammunition
and stores. "But," they add, "the
Mahdi (unto whom be peace trusts to
God only and will prevent fighting by
firearms; spears and swords he fights
with, and his connection with the
angels is well known, as we well
know from the history of Moham.
med" This letter was written before
Hicks Pasha began his advance upon
Kordofan. There is no doubt as tC
the final outcome of this campaign
but these admissions are interesting
as tacit admission of the long sus'
pected fact that the real difficulties OF
| this war have been Systematically
kept from the world.

A FAMILY BLESSING.

! Under date of May 10, 1883, we have received
the following information from Mr. Lorenzo
Lombard, of Is Charles street, Portland, Me
MIR. Lombard says: For several years past l
have been troubled with severe backaehe and
pains in the side, and when would lie down
could not rest well, as it seemed impossible for
me to get into an easy position; and my aches
and pains increased constantly to such an eX-
tent that became convinced that had a dis
ease OF the kidneys fastened to me, and after
having used doctors prescriptions and many
OF the so-called cures without getting any bene-
fit, was persuaded by n near neighbor. Mr..
Jones, to try Hunts Remedy, as himself and
wifi: had been greatly benefited by its uses
and many others of our acquaintance spoke
of its merits in the highest terms. / decided
to try it, and purchased bottle at Nichols
drug store, and as soon rs | had taken a few
doses OF 1t the pains in my back were relieved
and after taking three bottles my sdeache and
lame back are cured, and can truly testify
that Hunts Remedy is an article of great mer-
1t, and will do all that is claimed for it, and /
know OF many other people in Portland who
have found a cure in Hunts Remedy after all
others failed TO do any good, and l recommend
it to all others who have kidney or liver dis
ease, hoping that this may be the means of re-
lieving some sufferer who does not know of tie
merits of Hunts Remedy"

CONSUL SAMUEL SUTTON, at Mata-
moras, thinks cattle breeders in Texas
and the other western states and ter
ritories, will have to supply the de-
mand for breeding cattle by
buying in Northern Mexico.
For the last two or three years, he
says, the cattlemen have begun to
look beyond Texas and into Northern
Mexico for this supply. The chief
cattle range of Northern Mexico, he
says, lies between a line drawn from
Guaymas to TamplcO, and includes
the states of Sonora, Chihuahua, Goa
hula. Nuevo Leon and Pamauly, an
area of 100000 square miles, two
thirds of which is grazing land. There
may be in this section, he thinks,
100000 animals, divided about as
follows: Goats, 100000; meat cattle,
100000; horses, 100000; sheep,
100000; and mules 100000. The i'm
ports of live cattle from Mexico have,
in the past, paid an ad valorem duty
of 20 per cent, but, under the recent
treasury regulations, which have been
established by a recent test case, he
says animals for breeding purposes
can be imported free of duty, the per-
son importing them being only OBJ
liged to satisfy the consul and col
lector that he imported them for such
purposes. 1t is anticipated, therefore,
that cattle raising in Mexico will now
receive quite an impetus.
