RESTORED
AT LAST.

 MR. WM RENNE: Dear Friend-In April, 1882, very severely and suddenly attacked with infam- matory rheumatism, It very like paralysis; the pain commenced under the knees and was so severe tainted, and for nearly week was so helpless tha I couldn't turn in bed.
 My daughter applied kerosene oil, neither of us knowing anything about the disease, and this releved the pain somewhat. Then as my stomach refused food, took some medicine, which gave me good appetite. We bahed the limbs with everything we heard of and in few weeks the pains left the limbs and settled in my left arm and hand.
 seemed to be well all but that and it was less only for paper-weght In June went to spend the summer with my half brother near Utica and there lady, who was one of my scholars 54 years ago, told me she had something that would cure my arm, which painful could not sleep and my shoulder could not be moved. I verify believed it fastened for life.
 had combed my hair and dressed with one hand for three months, when this lady brought me bottle of KEYNES MAGIC OIL. q verily believe the Lord sent me there) ''Oh !' I exclaimed, looking at the
 likeness Of my old friend on the label on the bOttle 'that is Mir. Renne, of Pittsfed, Mass. 1 know him, and if he recommends this i IS good" I sent for a bottle and began to apply it thoroughly, as do every thing and in three days felt very peculiar tnsatons in that joint. felt as if my being sto d.. could only praise God for dcivcrance at last ani oh how happy I when could raise my hand to my head. 1 almost cried for joy. In a month or so my we'll can work as well as ever, but know my system is moi all right yet l am using Dr. Herrick's Vegetahl" Liver Pills, and thuk they are doing great deal of good. have used three bottles of Rennes Magic Oil, and shall always keep
 it about in of renewal of my attack, for it
 indeed ''Works like Charm.' Your grateful friend, l MRS. c. s. PARTRIDGE. | RENNE's MAGIC OIL is sold by druggists and deal CTS in medicines eYeryMhcre. at 25 cen1s bottle.

rr c.Nrrr.nyER BRIDGE. new bridge over the Niagara liver, which con nects the Canada Southern road with the Naw York Central is 8 mechanical novelty ;n tho line of bridges It is called canti- lever bridge. This name is borrowed from architecture, a means bracket to sustain balcony. In this new bridge, the only one of the kind in America, there are two brackets opposite each other, eacn resting on pier. The shore ends ot the brackets rest upon and are fastened down to another pier !; the outer ends, project ing over the water, sustain central span, merely resting upon them, and free to re- spond to the changes in the temperature. To get a rude idea of the principle of the principle of the cantilever bridge, place two chairs two feet apart put foot-rule on each chair, held down by book; the ends of the rules will not meet across the space separating the two chairs, but Dy resting third rule upon th,lr ends the bridge is complete. This Is skels ton idea. Now ia place of the chairs snbst1- tute four piers of masonry instead of tae two rules, balance upon the piers two beams resting upon the intermediate piers and with the shore ends of the beams placed upon and fastened to the two ex- treme piers a other span resting upon
  rule. and this is the c.ntilever bridge. There is another bridge Of this kind build. ing in Scotland over the famous Firth of Forth.
 flew Jersey is a noble. steadfast dem- ccratic state, state that has stood firmly by it's principles in the darkest hours of democracy aud through years of defeat.
 In 1860, New Jersey gave her electoral vote to Stephen A. Douglas, notwlthstand- ing the break in the democratic party Ill 1884 to George B. Mcclellan, despite the trials and prejudices of war 1n lo6o 10 Horatio Seymour, and in 1876 to Samuel J. Tilden.
 MT. Tllden carried New Jersey by over 12.OOO majority in 1876. Four years later General Hancock very nearly lost the state and obtained bare majority of 2,OOO. careless word in the platform, unmean1ng but capable of misconstruction, nearly de feated popular candidate living within sight of the New Jersey shore.
 Last year the democratic party of New Jersey adopted 8 platform which said, "We favor tariff for revenue, tanaated tc the necessary expenditures of the go0e'Ts g,ae,at, AND so ADJUSTED AS TO GIVE PRoTEc TON AND ENCOURAGEMENT TO HOME PRO DUcT1vE INDUSTRY AND LABOR, WITHOUT PRODUCING OR FOSTERING MoNOPoLIEs.
 On this platform, speaking the true sen timents of the democrats of the state, New Jersey elected a democratic governor by al old-fashioned majority of 1000.

Scientific American In furniture es- tablishment in this city ladies' bouboir is fitted up on the ground floor for the convenience of customers. It is carpeted, and furnished with handsome plush lounge, chairs, tables, etc. A friend IS in vited to lie down upon the lounge for 6 moment, and, in the act of getting up, re- quested to touch certain twilled binding cord containing gilt tinsel, which emits quite sharp electric spark, much to the surprise of the victim. The spark is just as strong upon damp, foggy day as when the weather is clear and dry. The pro- prietors have named the piece of furniture Ian electrical lounge" How the electric ity was produced was mystery. An easy explanation was fonnd. On investigation, the room proved to be located directly over hot air engine, employed to work the elevator. Two belts from the engine were lacated over the same, and ran with great speed in opposite directions sparks of electricity were frequently seen to be given off from the belts. As the room overhead was kept perfectly dry from the heat of the engine, and the belts were no' far from the floor, it is supposed the belts acted like frictional electric machine electrified the floor above, some of tht electricity passing to the carpet and lounge charging the same like Leyden jar, and delivering a spark when touched.
