Having been instructed by Prof A. S. Boyd In

In Its completeness and, at the same time lin
lis simplicity, the system Is wonderful, and Its
adaptability to the needs of all who may desirb
TO rely upon the memory as repository of facts,
names, dates, gems Of thOughtln prose and verse,
and other matters OF use and pleasure, depe nds
careful and patient teaching, and the simple en-
deAVOr TO utilize It, IL is storehouse with ever
increasing Dimensions, and with a convenient
meme Tor every treasure we may wish TO pre-
feet. -
We consider the knowledge Of the system In
valuable, and that the ease with which 1t can be
acquired, the certainty Of its operation, the I'm
mense leld Of It's possible application and TIA
great superiority over the ordinary working OF
the unaided memory. must commend 1t TO every
student and lover OF learning.

Great Demonstration.

The Cleveland ratification meeting in the
Academy of Music, in New York, last night
was in every respect great success. No
meeting like it in point Of numbers or IN
the enthusiasm Of the audience has been
held this campaign, and in many respects it
has not been exceeded in years. The meet
ing was called by leading Irish Americans
to give an emphatic denial to the lies crcu.
lated by the republicans to the effect that
large numbers of Irish democrats in that
citv intended to vote for Blaine. In this
purpose its success exceeded the hopes OF
the most confident promoters Of the meet
ing. 1t was the first opportunity Afforded
the leading Irishmen of the city TO JOIN In
All emphatic expression of their intentions,
and they made the best of it. Almost the
entire audience were Irish Americans, with
here and there q sprinkling of American
workingmeu. Mrs. Parnell, by her pres
ence, also nailed the lie that she was work
ing against the democratic ticket. A thor
ouph canvass of the audience showed that
the prominent Irish politicians, the chief
officers of the Irish societies and the Irish
leaders of trades unions were present, and
among them quite number who heretofore
have voted the republican ticket.
Speeches were made by Senator Jones OF
Florida and others and resolutions were
adopted declaring that the democratic par
ty has always maintained the dignity of cit,
izenship, irrespective of creed or place of
birth commencing Cleveland's record, de-
claring that opposition TO the democratic
party, under whatever guise or name it has
been known in the past, from the days OF
the federalis,s down to the days Of modern
repubicanism, has been opposed to the ex-
tension of modern citizenship, Indifferent
to the rights and wrongs ofadopted citizens,
and that james G.. Blaine during twenty
years of official life never interested himself
in the welfare of American citizens, who
while abroad were deprived oftheir liberties
and rights without authority OF law, and
while Secretary of State not only failed but
refused to exert the influence of the Unit
ed States government in behalf of such citi-

To Enioy Life.

Many people do not enjoy their lives any
more than prisoners in Jail or exiles in the
mines of Siberia 1t is because they have
overworked themselves into nervousness or
bilousness or dyspepsia. They can be hap

This is a peculiar preparation of iron, which
enters into the blood, driving out impurities
and giving enrichment for poverty. strength
for weakness and vigor for lassitude. Mr..
Edward Cane, of Jersey City, NJ, suffered
