Another Great Cure by DIR. Gage.
STATEMENT OF oRRIN WEBER, ESQ,
OF MANCHESTER, N. II.

Editor Manchester Union Permit me
through your valuable journal TO make
known to the public the marvellous cure
which has been performed upon my wife,
by DIR. Gage of Concord n. III. For nearly
fourteen years she has been an intense
sufferer with Scrofula, which has deted the
treatment of score of hysicians-among
whom are six of Manchester's best, two of
Gotfstown, and others of Concord and Bos-
ton She had also used Vegetine Ayers
and Hoods Sarsaparlla, Fowle's Humor
Cure, etc, without benefit. We had almost
given up in despair, when we were induced
to try DR. Gage. At that time the sores
upon her limbs Were fearful, and every day
seemed "A month of torture. Ulcers larger
than persons hand had eaten completely
To the bone, and the whole limb was ter
rible sight to behold. Indeed, no one
thought it possible for her TO recover, after
it existed so many years. Thanks to the
skill of DR.. Gage and our good friends who
persuaded us to try his treatment / am now
able, with profound gratitude to report her
complete restoration-the sores all being
soundly healed, and not a vestige of the dis
ease remaining. We certainly have album
dant reason to be thankful, and would most
earnestly urge our friends and the afflicted
generally TO consult this gifted physician.

Louisville Lawyers Fees.

'"The largest fee ever paid to men,
Der of the Louisville bar, so far as / ev-
er heard" said a prominent lawyer re-
Gently, twas something over $50, 200.
j. B. Stewart was the lucky man, and
up to that time he was considered
very ordinary practitioner, but that fee
made his fame and fortune. He was
counsel in suit brought about 1852 or
1858, do not remember which, to set
aside the deeds to all that property of
which Cave Hill and New Broadway is
now part. He engaged Judge Rob-
ertson, and, believe, Henry Clay, to
assist him. They won the suit, and af-
ter he had divided with them he had a
comfortable fortune left for his own
fee. He is now in Washington and is =
wealthy man.
Another big fee was paid to Judges
Harlan and Wood by William Will
liams, Jr., in suit by him to set aside
a resulting trust made by him to his
father. The case was very remarka-
BILE one. and the decision, which was
in favor of the plaintiff, while it recog-
nized the statute in regard to resulting
trusts, established the doctrine of oral
trusts. l think the case is reported in
9th Bush, and remember that l once
won . case in Bullitt county on the pre-
cedent established by the decision.
The fee in this case amounted to $780,
0OO."
A bigger fee than either of these was
once received by q Louisville lawyer,
however. The lucky man was Colonel
Bob Woolley, and the client who paid
it was Gen. Simon b. Buckner, who
was such u strong candidate for gov
ernor last year. Before the war Gen.
Buckner was an officer in the regular
army. He owned large amount of
real estate in Chicago. As soon as hos
tilities began he went south, and when
it was over he came out with the stars
of lieutenant general. To save his
property from confiscation he made it
over in trust to a friend. When the
war was over some hitch came up and
he found himself unable to reclaim it.
A million dollars was involved and the
general brought suit. Col. Woolley
was his counsel, and after hard strug-
gle the generals property was restored
to him by due process of law. Colonel
Woolley received $4,000 as his fee in
the case, and is probably the largest
one ever received by Louisville law

Automatic.

In mechanical cnriosities there have
been many wonderful exhibits in the
present day. The piping bullfinch in
the great exhibition of 1862 drew
crowds to it.; but we remember during
the sale of Weeks mechanical collec-
tion, half a century ago, a similar
two other mechanical songsters which
the French troops brought back as
part of the spoils from the emperor's
summer palace ut Pekin. We regret
that we missed the machine for max
ing Latin verses, which was exhibited
in our day at tho Egyptian hall-a real
blessing to school-boys; nor have we
seen the squalling baby which mod
ern man of science constructed
surely bringing of Goals to Newcastle;
but we remember well, about the year
1888, seeing very wonderful collec-
ton of automatic which had been orig
inally designed as presents to the en-
peror of China. There was a young
lady, life-size, that played tunes upon
a spinet; another that wrote lines with
the beauty of copperplate; while sur
passing all in ingenuity was the figure
of magician with tiny wand in his
hand. 1t was mounted upon small
movable frame, which could be wheeled
about at the pleasure of spectator, so
that there was no place for a confeder-
ate to conceal himself. On putting
into an orifice in the frame any one of
the numerous metallic cards which lay
about with questions inscribed on
them, the figure, after making you q
bow, struck with his rod a little door,
which opened, and there was the
answer printed on another card. The
reply given was always strictly appro-
pirate to the question, and was not of
O mere general character, like the
answers on conversation-cards. Then,
when we asked, "Mr. Conjuror, are
you not troubled with the inquiries of
your numerous visitorsp" the answer
was: 81 should be ungrateful to say
So" Our next question was of an en-
tirely different kind. 1t was. we being
young: "What is the sweetest passion
in natureP'' The conjuror bowed,
knocked at the gate, and 10! appeared
Cupid with his bow and arrow! Sir
David Brewster, who noticed this toy
in his volume on Natural Magic"
conjectures that the cards, though
seemingly alike to the eye, differed in
weight, and passed through the orifice
we have named until they fell into the
proper groove. and touched spring
which moved forward the answer.
The machinery employed must have,
at all events, been Of the most delicate
order. Still these things were but the
trifles of mechanical skill. What
wonders have we since seen Of pieces
of machinery which, you might almost
say, thought. With much interest we
looked in the great exhibition of 1852
on the jacquard loom, and, ten years
later, on the marvel of marvels, Bah
bage's calculating machine. Leisure
