The reader will pardon the foregoing de
gression,, prompted by our admiration for a
remedy that performs such marvellous cures,
and permit us to say that when the admiral
returned to his home in New York the only
cloud cast upon the happiness of the reunion
With his family was caused by the continued
illness OF his eldest son, a young man of
twenty.four, whose disease, when the admiral
sailed from Montevideo, had been reported rs
succumbing to the treatment of the family
doctor. But his father found 1t otherwise;
the unfortunate young man was suffering
severely from chronic disease of the kidneys
and bladder. Before leaving Boston the ad-
miral had purchased a copy of DR.. Pierce's
book, 1.-The Peoples Common Sense Medical
Adviser" He read this valuable book thor
oughly, and upon his arrival home had made
up his mind as to the future treatment for
his son. The latter was sent to the famous
Invalid's Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y, conducted
By DR.: r, v. Pierce, and his competent staff
II specialists. where, under skillful treat
ment, the sufferer soon found relief and a
permanent cure.
In the library Of his handsome home the
admiral placed one of the four bottlesnsent
him by the seaman Brown. Conspicuous in
its pretty frame and stand it attracts alleges,
which can easily read the lines in golden let
tiers inscribed on the tablet under the stand as
follows:-"This bottle once contained the
ammunition which secured for Admiral -
the victory in his battle off Cape Horn with the
enemy consumption. His undying gratitude
is thus shown for that which this bottle
and its mates held"

"A story illustrative of the state OF
feeling with regard to the French Party
is related of pious Id Federalist lady
who lived in a town in Connecticut. 1t
was believed in her neighborhood that If
the Federalists were over-thrown, and
the Jefferson Democrats came into power,
the Christian reli igion would be put down
and atheism proclaimed, and among the
first prosecutions would be the destruc-
ton of all the Bibles. The lady referred
to was terribly wrought up at this pros
pect, and cast about in her mind how she
should preserve the scriptures in the gen.
eral destruction. At length it occurred
to her to 60 TO Squire s., the only
Democrat of her acquaintance, and
throw herself upon his mercy. She ac-
cordingly took her family Bible to him.
and telling him that she had heard of the
intention of the Jeffersonians, asked him
to keep it for her. The Squire attempted
to persuade her that her fears were
groundless, but she was too panic-strick-
en- to be convinced. At last he said,
"My good woman. if all the Bibles
are to be destroyed, what is the use of
your bringing yours to me? That will
not save it when it is found"
"Oh yes" she pleaded, with charm
ing burst of trust. "You take it; it
will be perfectly safe. They'll never
think of looking in the house of Dem
ocrat for a Bible" ."-Edtor's Drawer, an

view the prisoner. He was beligerent,
bullet headed white man whose offense
consisted in stealing game chicken. As

forward and said.
"Believe me, sir, l shall never touch
whiskey again"
"Tm glad to hear it."
"And l am fully resolved to lead a
