ALBANY, n. Y. April 4, 1888.
On the 9th of February 1888, l was
taken with violent pain in the re-
region of the kidneys. l suffered such
agony that L could hardly stand up.
AS soon as possible l applied two AL
cocks Porous Plasters, enc over each
kidney, and laid down. In an hour,
to my surprise and delight, the pain
had vanished and was well, l wore
the plasters for day or two as a pre-
caution, and then removed them. l
have been using Allcock's Porous
Plasters in my family for the last ten
years, and have always found them
the quickest and best external remedy
for colds, strains, kinks and rheumat-
ic affections. From my experience l
believe they are the best plasters in
the world.

Three Unhappy Emperors.
From Life, London.,


An immense amount of rubbish
is both written and talked about
the meeting of the three Emperors.
According to some folks, these three
worthy gentlemen met to plan out
schemes of international robbery !;
others declare that they met only
to "isolate la belle Franc" what
ever that they mean; whilst third
section assure us that the old topic
of the imperial tongues was Eng
land, and her base schemes for an
nexing the whole of this world, and
the next too. Poor Emperors how
amused they must be at all the in
consequent chatter that goes on
anent their proceedings! The fact
is, they met solely to form them
selves into mutual protection So
ciety. They are so beset by An
arcnlsts, Dy SOCIALISTS, ana Dy M
hilists that they are at their impe-
rial wits ends, and don't knew
which way to turn. So they said,
Let us meet, and see if we cannot
devise a scheme whereby some
small modicum of human happiness
may not be reserved for us. They
are indeed pitiable sight, these
three Emperors, ,dodgIng bombshells,
scuttling from corner to corner of
their vast dominions in the dead of
night, hiding under sheaves of sa-
bres, driving through streets made
gay by official bunting Who would

A Fickle German Youth.


There arrived here in the steamer

Wilhelm had sent her the money to

testations of love. There was no
Wilhelm to meet his Katrina at
Castle Garden, however, and De-
tective Gordon was sent to search
for him. He was found at his lodg-
ings in Brooklyn, and explained
that he had not come to meet Kat
rina because he had fallen in love
with a pretty young milliner, Will
helmina Strauss. Yesterday Kat
rina was taken to the presence OF
her recreant lover, and looked so
charming in her grief that Viii
helms tickle heart changed again,
and he started post haste with her

Vitality of Snails.


Snails have the most extraordi-
nary powers of vitality. Some of
them have been known to live many
years shut up in boxes and draw
ers, and even affixed to tablets as
specimens. DIR. Johnson, in his
work on conchology, speaks of some
which had formed part of a collec-
ton belonging to a Mr.. Simon of
Dublin, which revived when placed
in water, after having been dried
for a period of fifteen years. Several
years ago it was stated in Lillman' S
Journal that some men employed in
cutting the Erie canal near Rome
found several hundred live mollusks
forty-twe feet deep in the alluvial
deposit. They must have been
there centuries, and probably would
have been alive to-day. but the
workmen fried and ate them. The
same tenacity of life is shown under
circumstances even more abnormal.
Max Muller relates that some snails
from which he had cut their heads
lived more than year in that state
without food. They have been
known to reproduce feet, eyes, and
even the whole head after amputa-
ton.

man, "chat if you see a certain per-

and you get up and satisfy yourself
about the hour that that is a sign
that the person you dreamed about

seemed to gather on the brow of the
political editor. He looked as if he

Treasure-fnding by dreams has
not yet gone out of fashion. A case
has recently happened in Walton
Grove, Ga, which is calculated to
place in the shade all such occur
rences of accident as we'll as modern
history. Miss Laura Sheburt was
the dreamer. Before her imaginary
gaze was spread the panorama of
the surrounding country. A yoAng
man, elegantly dressed and orna-
mented with red necktie, stepped
up to her, and pointing out GER
tain spot, told her to dig, and wealth
would be hers. Just then she
awoke, and the young man was
gone, but the memory of the dream
so troubled her that she slept no
more that night. The other night
the dream was substantially repeat
ed. The third night she again had
the dream, which so impressed her
that on the following morning she
went out, and sure enough, at the
designated spot, about two feet un-
der tho ground. she found small
tin box filled with gold coin. There
are witnesses both to the finding
and digging up Of the box of gold.
The whole community is excited
over the finding Of the treasure.

RELICS OF AGES.
Found Sixty Feet Below the Sur
face in a Georgia County
Mine.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Workmen at the lime works of A
| @. Ladd, three miles from Carriers
vile, have frequently found petrifiec
bsnes in the rock they dug from the
earth at various depths. A few
days ago, however, they came upor
the most remarkable relics yet dis
covered there, ami in point of per
feet preservation some of the most
remarkable ever seen. They were
working sixty feet below the sur
face in very hard lime rock when
they discovered firmly imbedded in
it several large bones. They evi-
IDENTIFY composed part of the frame
of some large animal, Mr.. Ladd
thinks of one or more bears. This
opinion, he says, is borne cut by the
formation of some teeth which were
found near the bsnes. But little
deeper still more remarkable rev.
elation was made. Some smaller
bones were taken out. The bear
theory would not fit them, and, af-
ter a careful examination, the con-
clusion was reached that they were
HUMAN BONES.
Mr.. Ladd has shown them to sew
eral intelligent gentlemen, and they
agree to this opinion. He has the
bones, and believes they will stand
any scientific test and prove at last
to be human bones. There is no
skull or spinal bones. Those found
seem to be leg or arm bones, and
must havo belonged to a gentleman
who resided in Barlow county a
good while ago. Mr.. Ladd COM
putes their age at 5000 years, but
says that it is impossible to ascertain
it accurately. The most beautiful
things taken from this deep tomb is
is birds nest full of eggs The
nest and the eggs are perfectly pre-
served and present a remarkable
specimen of petrifcation. These
curious relics form an interesting
collection, Workmen who are we'll
acquainted with the formation of
the lime rock whence they were
taken say they are confident that
there are other similar relics deeper
down. They are constantly finding
small and indistinct fossils, but the
recent "find" was the richest and
most interesting yet made.
