You will recollect that told you
that there is an apparent disagree
ment between First Kings vi. |, and
Acts xiii. 20. How many of you have
Thought" about this, and have tried
to explain it.
After the children of Israel left
Egypt, they were forty years in the
wilderness, Joshua was about seven
teen years arranging them and set
Ting them in the land of Canaan,
Samuel and Saul managed the gov
ernment forty years, David was king
forty years, and we must add,to these
numbers three years of Solomon's
reign. Paul in his address to the
rulers Of the Synagogue, says, (Acts
xiii. 2O) that they had judges "tabout

There seems to be no end to the ex-
Aibition of Democratic folly in the
present House Of Representatives.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
sixth month of the session is nearly
half gone, and the House has passed
only six of the thirteen regular ap-
preparation bills, only one of which
has become law, further time is to
be wasted in vain and fruitless tar
iff discussion. The industrial inter.
ests of the country are again threat
ennd by the Hewitt tariff bill. 1t
contains most of the obnoxious fea-
lures of the Morrison bill, and in
some respects is even more objection
able. 1t was long ago understood
that Mr.. Hewitt would introduce a
bill designed simply to remove GER
tain obscurities and improve the ad.
ministration of the customs service.
He has departed altogether from that
purpose. and even again undertaken
the horizontal scheme of reduction
already condemned by the House.
What possible gain can there be in
taking up the time of session al
most barren of legislation of any sort
in discussing such bill? 1t would
be much more sensible for the Tariff
RefOrmers" to issue an address to
their constituents, as they were talk
ing of doing, and then drop the sub.
ject. That would permit the con-
sideration of the necessary legislation
which has now been delayed.-N Y.

Wonderful Cures.

The press of the country is con-
stantly filled with wonderful cures
which have TRANSFERRED through the
agency of some medicine in their i'm
mediate neighborhood. Some of these
have some foundation, but a great
number have no better basis than the
Eighty imagination of the writer.
The following case, however, is with
out precedent, and anyone Is given
she privilege of writing to the sub
scriber and finding if he tells the

AN EXTRAORDINARY OFFER
To all Wanting Employment.

We want live, Energetic and Cap
able Agents in every county in the
United States and Canada, to sell a
patent article of great merit, ON ITS
MERITS. An article having a large
sale, paying over 100 per cent. profit,
having no competition, and on which
the agent is protected in the exclu-
sive sale by a deed given for each and
every county he may secure from us.
With all these advantages to our
agents, and the fact that it is an ar
tice that can be sold to every house
owner, it might not be necessary to
make an EXTRAORDINARY OFFER"
to secure good agents at once, but we
have concluded to make it to show.
not only our confidence in the merits
of our invention, but in its STABILITY
by any agent that will handle it with
energy. Our agents now at work are
making from $3.50 to 5000 month
clear. and this fact makes it safe for
us to make our offer to all who are
out Of employment. Any agent that
will give our business thirty days
trial and fail to clear at least 500 in
this time, ABOVE ALL EXPENSES can
return all goods unsold to US and we
will refund the money paid for them.
Any agent or General Agent who
would like ten or more counties and
work them through sub.agents for
ninety days, and fail to clear at least
$3.50 ABOVE ALL EXPENSES, can re-
turn all unsold and get their money
back. No other employment of ag
ents ever dared to make such offers
nor would we if we did not know
that we have agents now making
more than double the amount we
guaranteed, and but two sales day
would give a profit of over 1925 a
month, and that one of our agents
took eighteen orders in one day. Our
large descriptive circulars explain our
offer fully, and these we wish to send
to every one out of employment who
will send us three one cent stamps for
postage. Send at once and secure the
agency in time for the boom, and 60
to work on the terms named in our
extraordinary offer. We would like
TO have the address Of all the agents,
sewing machine solicitors and carpen-
tiers in the country, and ask any
reader of this paper who reads this
offer, to send us at once the name and
address of all such they know. Adj
dress at once, or you will loose the
best chance ever offered to those out
Of employment TO make money.

A discovery has been made which again
lays the honesty OF our ancestors open to
striou suspicion Tn Jerry builder, =
seems, was not unknown in the middle ages;
ia fact lie must have hourished and waxed
uIighty, seeing that he occasionally got siich
a job MS the building OF II cathedral into his

Peterborough cathedral some insight has
been gained into the ways Of the builder of
the Norman and early English" periods.
Like his successor, he was an adopt at con-
cealing the practices by which he, no doubt,
amassed II considerable fortune. The walls
of the lantern at Peterborough being care
fully examined, it appeared that, though the
outside facing was OF good Barnack stone,
beneath this thin surface there was nothing
but rubble and pit mortar" So, too,

The number OF people who viii tell you of
II sure cure for rheumatism rs only limited by
the population. All ave remedies and all
are sure cures, only they don't cure. How
ever, Mr.. Lord, The Suns busines manager,
has a cure that is the best OF all. He had
been suffering for some time with rheuma-
tisnI, which seemed to hang on remarkably.
After being laid up for several days he
concluded he would go down town,
though he was badly stirened He
ordered u covered sleigh, and while going
down Grand avenue the team started
to run away. The rheumatic patient saw
that it was no place for a sick man, SO he got
up and jumped out, rolling over in the mud
a dozen times. He supposed he was killed.,
and watched the team teur down street, and
hoped the team would be killed also. Finally
he thought he would get up out of the mud,
and did so, the pain being all gone. and he
conld walk splendid. He is now ready to
engage in II toot-race. or walking mateL, and
can c~onfidentially recommend the runaway
as e positive cure, il taken in time. How
Often such discoveries that result in good to
the human race, are made by the merest ac-
cideut.
