" Number One."

The Paris tSoteiL publishes an account of'an interview which one of its staff had with "Number One last January. An Irishman of his acquaintance whom he met by chance had with him another Irishman whose "strange appearance D. made a deep impression on the journal ist, and he asserts by dint of persistent questioning he not only succeeded in as- ceEtaining that the mysterious person was Number One," and that his name was Lyman, but in obtaining precise in- formation concerning the part he had played in the Phoenix Park tragedy. The reason the SOleiL reporter gives for not having mentioned this meeting before is that he did not feel disposed to assume the responsibility of the grave conse- quences which might at that time have resulted from any indiscretion on his part as long as the individual in question was on French territory. Lyman is described as strongly built, tall man, of about forty five years of age, with long black beard. As to the reason why "Number One has been described so variously, the writer says:-"Tynan, in his various interviews with the members of the h. vincible Society, never spoke English with the same accent Sometimes he spoke like Scotchman, at others like an Irish. man. M oreover, he was careful never to meet the same individual more than once. James Carey, who been placed by his orders in Phoenix Park on the 9th of May, seeing him for the first time, asked him his name. Lyman replied, I am Number One.' He was known by that title by all the conspirators, who were never able to discover his real name. After the crime in Phoenix Park Lyman remained in hiding in Dublin for about twelve days. He then proceeded to Lon don, where he remained until last Janu- ary. He came to Paris before the carni- val week, but stayed only few days Lyman then went to Cannes, where he was living at the same time as NIT. Glad stone. During the fetes given at Nice he was under the balcony of the Prefect's official residence. On his return to Paris Lyman was put on his guard by the ar rest of Byrne and Walsh, and his friends advised him to leave France. Tynan's idea was to go to New York, but he was dissuaded from it by his friends. A con- sultation, at which there were present about dozen of his fellow countrymen and French lawyer, was held in Paris. After long deiberation it was decided that Lyman should seek refuge in Mexico, which has no eXtradition treaties.

Wealth in a Wash.Tub.

The Saginaw, Michigan, Courier says: A story bordering little on the romantic, and of which more will proba- bly, be heard i'll the future, came to the ears of a news gatherer recently, ,the facts of which, as near as can be learned, being as follows: The parties who are principally interested live in Saginaw, and the story was told by one of them, an English lady, named Mrs. Thomas Kay. It seems that number of years ago the family of whom Mrs. Kay is 8 member came over from London, Eng. land, to this country. Three years ago Mrs. Kay's mother died at the advanced age of eighty-five years, and the room the old lady occupied was not disturbed after her death for long time. Having occasion last August to go to @ bureau i'll the room, among number of other articles stored away Mrs. Kay found an fashioned account and pocket-bo combined, in which were records kept by that lady's great grandfather as far back as the year 1745, and in it marriage certificate of the same date. Thinking perhaps the book was of value, she put it in her pocket and for time forgot its existence. Washing day coming around, the dress was consigned to the tub, pocket book and all, and when discov- cred, the latter had become thoroughly soaked, and being taken out fell to pieces, disclosing to view piece of paper between the Things of the back. The paper proved to be note for e265, made in New York, in 17S3, just cen tury ago, to be paid by London mer- chant named Wilhelm Roulette to Will liam Goderich, the great-grandfather of Mrs. Kay. The note was duly indorsed, and being shown to several parties it was declared genuine
 Dave Neuman, the express sagent liv- ing in Saginaw City, who is a son-in-law of Mrs. Rays, was given the note for safe keeping, and still holds possession of 1t. Letters were sent to England making inquiry for the relatives of the maker of the note, but nothing has been received in reply, and one or two letters have been returned. The original sum, e265, will, with interest and compound interest, by this time amount to the snug little pile of about eS, 800, or in the neighborhood of $45, ,OO0 or $50,0OO.

ton or human surrerlng, the doctor, through the Worlds Dispensary Medical Association, earnestly and most confidently recommends his Golden Medical Discovery to the public at large, assured the most skeptical will be thoroughly convinced of its worth by a trial of single bottle.
 In stubborn, or long seated affections, and where the bowels are very costive, the gentle, though certain action of the Discovery, will bemore rapid and dsatisfactoryby supplement- ing Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets ill small daily doses of one or two. These pills (the original and only genuine Little Liver Pills) are purely uegetabte, sugar coated, and very small, yet by the peculiar process used in their preparation, they pos. sess the strength and virtue of larger and unpalatable pills. Pleasant Purgative Pellets will speedily remove all ill aud dis agreeable effects arising from over-eating or drinking, and are recommended as ca thartic at all times, being perfectly safe, sure and unattended by the gripping pains usually experienced in the use of purgatives less carefully prepared. Promptly resorted to, these little Pellets will radically cure ind- gestion, biliousness and sick-headache thus saving the patient from serious and lingering disorders. Dr. Pierce, the President of th' Worlds Dispensary, and his faculty of twelve skilled specialists, can be consulted by letter or in person in any case of chronic disease requiring either medical or surgical treatment free of charge. For those desiring more exhaustive information than can be unparted through correspondence, the doctor has written book, called ''The People Common Sense Medical Adviser, in Plain English; or, Medicine Simplified."
 This work alone is goodly harvest for an ordinary life, and stamps its author n pro- found scholar and a very remarkable man. The book contains nine hundred and twenty two pages, illustrated with two hundred and eighty-six wood cuts and colored plates, and makes plain as a, b, c, anatomy, physi- ology, materia medica, practice of medicine, hygiene, temperaments, psychology, etc. and answers in plain, easily to- be under stood terms all questions that may arise within their range, especially those ques- tions the would-be inquirer is deterred by fear, or modesty, from asking the family oI other physician. That all may be enabled to acquaint themselves with matter so vital to health, happiness, and success, the price o this great work has been fixed at one dollar and fifty cents, postpaid by mail to any ad dress, while smaller and far inferior books purporting to cover the same ground, have sold at five dollars copy. It being the ain of the proprietors of the Common Sens' Medical Adviser to reach not only the at1lu ent, but also those ill moderate, and ever straitened circumstances, the price of th' work places it within the reach of all.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one who will ex- anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside rom the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, large proportion of the preciou- metal used, Is needed not only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as UTIL- ITY and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the SAME soLIpTrY AND STRENGTH produced at from one-t third to one half of the usual cost of solid cases. The process is of the most simple nature, as follows: & plate of niekle compost tion metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers The gold in these cases is sufficient to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.
 THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE WITH TWO PLATES SOLID GOLD AND WARRANT ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

"Indeed, ah then Henri. my child, do tell me what is dynamite?" !" Pardon, madame, interrupted the tutor, but nowadays dynamite does not belong to chemistry.

At Funerals.

At funeral in New Rochelle, says a New York City paper, the officiating clergyman informed those who were in the church that 1t was requested of those who should assemble at the place of burial that they should remain covered during the final ceremonies. It was ex- plalned that this suggestion was made out of regard for the. health of many whose exposure to the bleak, raw wind prevailing might be attended with danger. It often happens that the services at the grave are long, and more than once it has been said of man brought down to death by sudden attack of pneumonia, that his fatal illness was contracted while standing bare-headed in an outdoor feneral service. Not long since, while the ground was soppy with an untimely snowfall, those who had charge of burial at Woodlawn provided foor-cloths for the covering of the turf around a burial place for the rotection of those who were gathered to pay their last tributes to the memory of friend. Those recent instances of thoughtfulness for the living are commended to the attention of all people who desire that respect for the dead shall not cause needless pain and discomfort to those who survive.
 A PRIZE. The sum of $5, ,OOO-which might profitably be multiplied ten times-has been offered by M. Paul to the French Academy of Medicine, to found prize for the discovery of cure for diphtheria, the competition to be open to the world, and not confined to the medical circle.

The gentleman has been visiting the clerk of courts in Lewiston during the past week. He made his jack-knife himself upon his own forge, and in his leisure moments covered the bone handle with his initials and num- Der of odd devices. A. year after, ill the deep SHOWS, on the road to Kingsbury, Me-, he overlook a man attempting to tie up his sleigh that had broken down. He jumped out to assist the man, lent him the jack-knife, and, forgetting it, rode off without it. He never saw the man again.

Among the people in that State with whom he came into contact was one who was proverbially hard up. Reduced to straits he had pawned everything. Coming along one day, with a peculiar looking iack-knife, he offered it for sale The gentleman bought it, and came home soon after, and day or two after his arrival he took the knife out of his pocket. His wife bounced upon him. With thousand rapturous expressions of surprise, she demanded to know where he got it, He told her he bought that knife in Minneapolis. She said il was fathers" Father " was brought in, and the knife was identified as his No explanation could be offered by the gentleman as to how his own identica' jack-knife, lost on a country road il Maine, should be found by his son-in law in the western country, This was ten years ago. The gentleman has the jack knife now.

 Stone in the Bladderis very dangerous ail- ment; but many most remarkable cures have of late been wrought by "Kennedys Favorite Reme- dy"-the invention Dr. Kennedy of Rom doat, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for l4 years, and had consulted at different times seven physi- sians; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January Mir. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone" He decided that Mir. Lawler should first try the Fayorite Remedy" so as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result: "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones I will send them to you" This letter bears date Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter Lawler." The stones, which so large as to war rant for |" Kennedy's Favorite Remedy " the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession.

Lawer also states that the Fay. orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of stubborn case of Rheumatism and it is fact that in all affections arising out of disorder of the liver urinary organs it is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.
