There is little question that the
Irish detection from the Democratic
ranks and in favor of the Republican
ticket will be of considerable proper
tioDs.' In New York this is partici,-
larly true, where the feeling that
Blaine would adopt policy friendly
toward Ireland is added to the discon.

ahaAAl RAhH
DR.. Alex. De Bora, OF Crystal Springs, N.
Y, writes that, after years of practical test
of tho milk dot for Brights disease, he has a
long list of cases in which he has made per-
feet cures. Great care is taken to get abso-
lutely pure SKINNED milk, from healthy and
well-fed cows, and no other food of any kind
ia given after the patient can bear five pints
Of milk a day. Up to this point, and until
the stomach is able to take care of so much,
is found to be the most trying period in this
treatment, but no other medicine is given,
and hand and hair-glove rubbing is daily ad-
ministered.
Another correspondent takes exception to
the claim made that no drug of any
therapeutic value in that disease hus yet been
discovered. In support Of his assertion he
sends us n recipe which he claims has effected
n cure in Brights disease, as well as in
dropsy. in every case in which it has been
tried during the last fifteen years. He
recommends the drinking Of an infusion of
the dry pods of the common white soup bean
or corn bean. When tho latter cannot be
readily obtained, the pods of the SNAP short"
bean will answer, and even the Lima bean,
though the latter is OF inferior strength. The
recipe is rs follows: "Take a double handful
of the pods to three quarts OF water; boil
slowly for three hours until it is reduced to
three pints. Use no drink of any kin but
this, the patient drinking as much as he CON
veniently can; IL may be taken either hot or
cold -

Pnwnbrokers. What They Take ms
Pledges, and from Whom.

Pledges, and from Whom.
Boston Globe.l
-Our business varies with the times just as
other business varies" said n Kneeland street
~pawnbroker to n Globe reporter. "Many
people have an idea that when other bust
ness is dull ours is good, but it is not so.
When there is plenty OF money in circuln-
tion our business is good, and when times are
dull we feel it perceptibly. This comes from
the fact that our chief profit comes from tho
redemption OF pledges and the payment of
interest, aud also from the sale of articles.
When business is dull throughout tho city,
people arc in need of money, and come To us
with their pledges; but when times are bet
ter and money easier, they redeem their
pledges, and that is where we make our
money. So, you sec, in dull times we get
filed up with unredeemvd pledges. At the
end OF a year a pledged article becomes our
property, and then we can sell it."
Are articles frequently unredeemedi"
was asked.
"Oh, yes, constantly. But wo prefer that
tho borrower should redeem his pledge.
Otherwise we haYe the trouble OF selling it,
and frequently do not make ourselves whole.
Pledges frequently depreciato on our hands,
especially clothing. We do not often make
advances upon clothing, though We fire.
queutly have applications. You have no
idea what some people will do to obtain
money. l have known men to give up oil
except just enough to cover themselves with
for II small advance. Such people very sell
dom redeem their pledges, and us it is al
most impossible to sell them they are n dead
loss to the pawnbroker. On that account
we do not like to handle clothing. An over
coat in good condition we often take, for
it is apt to be redeemed, and is quite salable.
Watches and jewelry of course we take.
Good revolveIs are always acceptable, for
there lisa good demand for them. Common
revolvers and pistols, however, arc useless
except for old iron. We don want them at
any price"
"What class of people do you chiefly deal
withTn
sour business is confined to no one class.
All sorts of people come to us. 1t is not I'M
common for a man in good circumstances to
come to us for n loan upon n fine gold watch
or n diamond ring. We always make the nd.
vance. for it is very certain to be repaid with
interest. They do not always do so, it is
true, especially il we nave advanced very
nearly the value of the articles pledged.
But, AS a rule, the more valuable tho articles
pledged the more sure is the borrower to re-
deem his pledge"
What Is tho largest sum commonly loaned
On n single pledgei"
mot often more than 800, though rarely
ms high as $500 has been loaned. The aver
age loan is from IS to $40 and but seldom
over 500

Never since the days of Washington
has it been given to a citizenofthe United
States to occupy the proud and pre-
eminent position held by Samuel : d.
Tilden to-day Few men, like Washing
ton and Tilden, would have declared their
ambition satiated and unenvylngly lnger
in the peace and q%uietude Of private life
with such Il glittering prize within their
grasp. 1t requires a man of overwhelmn-
ing equipoise of character to restrain the
o'e%rweehing ambition of human kind at
such a moment Above all it requires a
man of the purest and most exalted patri-
otism-a stamp of man seldom produced
in the cruciLle of modern political lite-to
willingly and cheerfully place the good oil
his country high above the qualification OF
mere personal ambition
No man whom the country has produc-
ed has been followed by such
unwearying and malignant hatred as
Samuel }. Tilden. No man so little de
served it. He never consented to hold a
public office without some lofty and noble
ambitions of publication. He never I'M
dertook a measure OF reform hut his work
was characterized by thorough and graft
flying success.

The organ keys Of some cathedral pile,
Flooding with music vault and nave and

While on his ear falls but a thunderous roar
In the composers lofty motive free,
Knows well that all that temple vast and

Thrills to its base with anthem, psalm and

True to the changeless laws of harmony.
SO he who on these changing chords Of life,
With firm, sweet touch plays the Great Mas

Though he may never hear, in the true time

THE declination of Dir. Tilden by no
means leaves the Democratic party barren
of available men for the Presidential chair.
There still remains many brilliant men
upon whom the sage's mantle may fall
without disgrace. While it cannot, in the
nature of things, be expected that such
unanimity will prevail in the selection as
if Tilden NSerc still a competitor, never
theless we feel that n candidate will be
secured who will ably and admirably full
fill all the requirements which should be
necessary for the exalted office which he
is destined to fill.

THE President.hns begun sending in his
nominations, but we doubt seriously if the
one made for Wyoming yesterday will
prove as popular as the appointment of a
territorial resident to the Office of Chief
Justice would have done. In all of the
half dozen nominations made for other
territories it is a noticeable fact that every
selection consists of a man residing in a
foreign locality The plank in the Re.
publican platform regarding the appoint
ment of people living in the territories to
territorial Offices seems to have been
treated by the President with silent son
tempt. Probably, however, the President
thinks the plank should have no retro
spectiye application and that as it is mere-
ly an alleged basis on which to fight the
coming campaign, it certainly could not
concern him.

In SCI Nadod, a rowing pirate, in one q
his voyages to the North, was cast away OF
what he supposed to be an immense conf
nent and which he designated by the name
of Snowland. About three years later two
Swedish navigators visited this land and
sailed completely around the supposed con.
tinent. proving it to be an island Having
found a great quantity of drift-ice collected
ON the north side in the neighborhood OF
Cape North. they gave it the name of lee
land, which it still bears. Iceland has an
area of 81, S9l square miles and at the pres,
ent day a population of over 10000 in
habtants. Thorwald, Il Norwegian chief
had been banished in exile to Iceland for
some murder committed by him in his
native land. Soon after his arrival he died
and his son. known as Eric the Rande. or
Red, possessing a restless, rowing, daring
spirit, and inheriting his fathers temper,
killed one of his Icelandic neighbors in q
quarrel and was compelled to flee.
In go he sailed from his home and di-
rected his course southwest. After a quick
run he deserted two lofty mountains, the
one covered with snow, the other with ice.
He called the first White Shirt" the sec
ond - Blue Shirt" and sailing on reached
the coast. In the following spring he cx-
plored the surrounding country, and was
delighted with the freshness and verdurc
of the land in-comparison with his own lost
home Contrasting the new-fomd land
with the gloomy rocks of Iceland, lie gave
IT the fiattering appellation of Greenland,
and returning to his former home, circula-
ted the most glowing and exaggerated
descriptions of the new country and in
duced many of his former associates and
neighbors to follow him. He sailed back
with twenty-five vessels, but of these only
fourteen reached the newly discovered
paradise. The missing eleven were never
heard of, and were doubtless lost in one OF
the terrible storms that sweep over the
Arctic seas.-[T Current.
