For the benefit OF suffering humanity, and
I'm heartfelt gratitude at the wonderful re-
suit, deem 1t only my duty to give this UNI
solicited testimony In favor OF Swift's Spe-
cilc. My vito has been afflicted with he
reditary Eczema or salt Rheum from her
infancy. II has increased In intensity with
each succeeding spring, and being some

every remedy could think OF for years
SaHaparlHa combined with every form OF
Potassp and hundreds of other remedies, To-
lions, and alkili washes OF every known
kind. but they all gave only temporary RELIEF
During the spring OF 1884 her lower e&-
tremities became so infiamed and sore that
she was Obliged TO keep them constantly
coated with "A covering OF " Fuller fartn'
mixed wet and allowed TO dry on. Among
other things, she was afflicted with pee
riodical nervous headache, occurring regu-
larry every seven days, sometimes tohoweu
by an intermittent fever for weeks AT a
time, SO that her life became burden 10
her.
This srring determined she should take
s 8 : and follow strictly the directions IN
regard To dose. diet, etc. This was about
seven weeks ago. After taking the INST large
bottle the disease seemed TO increase; the
burning, itching, and Inflammation be-
came unbearabe She. however. perse-

taking the second bottle the Inflammation
began to subside. After the third bottle the
Inflammation disappeared, and sore spots

pable white powder resembling pure salt.
| She is now taking the sixth bottle three

pearance OF the disease has gone, and her
| flesh is becoming soft, white, and smooth

now, at hfty-thTee years Of age, enjoying

At the Mormon general conference at
Logan, Utah, on Sunday, general epistle
to the church from Presidents Taylor
and Cannon was read. II asserts that the
prosecutions for polygamy have caused
a reign of terror in Utah, hut exhorts the
Mormons not to retaliate in kind for per-
secution or violate any constitutional law
After reference to the alleged evils of
monogamy the epistle says "As it is
estimated that the male members of the
Mormon church practicing poly
gamy do not exceed two per
cent of the whole membership, we
consider it an act of great injustice to the
remaining 98 per cent They are abused
and outraged business interests are dis.

A committee was appointed to draft reso
buttons of protest to President Cleveland
and the nation, setting forth specifically
and in detail the tyrannical conduct o
the Federal officials from which tn,
people of Utah are suffering. The con
ference closed yesterday afternoon.

We are in receipt of q communication
from Reading man who wishes the press
to arouse public sentiment against the
didn't know-it -was-loaded idiot. He takes
for his text recent case in Quarryville,
where one j. Wesley Shirk playfully
pointed at his wife the 'empty" revolver
he was engaged in cleaning. OF course
the weapon went off and the woman will
probably die.
From this text the Reading man
breaches short but pithy sermon. 1t is
the duty of society TO protect itself
against the fools who handle fire arms
recklessly because they know no better.
But there are others, too cowardly to
openly commit murder, who, he believes,
resort 10 this didn't-know-it-waa loaded
dodge with deliberate intent to kill and
escape justice. The Reading man is
"gunning" for such wretches Ms these and
he wants to chang or shoot the next guilty
fiend who thinks he can, like thousands
of previous similar murderers, escape
under the lying plea of accident"
In Delaware we have statute, enacted
by the Legislature of 1881, for the regu-
lation of these pistol pointers, whether
criminals or careless fools. Section of
this statute, and ii is an important one to

The Senate adjourned sine die Thurs
day without dispensing of all the nominal
tons before it, Among other appoint
ments Enacted on was TINT of Mr..
McMullen 10 be appraiser of the port of
New York. MckIullen is the man referred
to the other day as having, although an
ardent Democrat, been retained by sue
cessive Republican administrations rs a
subordinate in the custom house because
his services were so valuable that he could
not well be dispensed with. The appoint
ments not confirmed lapse with the close
of the special session, but there is nothing
to prevent the President from making
them again at once. The persons thus
appointed will take Office subject to the
chance of confirmation at the regular
session in December.

PlNDAR-TIIE OLYMPiAN AND PYTHlAN
ODES-With an Introductory essay notes
and index. By Basil L. Gildersleeve, Proies-
scr OF Greek In tho Johns hopkins University
baltimore. Published by Harper & Brothers,
New York.
To the student of tho Greek classics this
book will be very welcome. The text has
been very carefully edited and the typo
graphy is excellent. The very copious notes
and Introductory matter are we'll designed
to so smooth the path Of the student as to
enable him to master the text and appre-
ciate the beauties of imagery and diction in
a way that he would have hardly dreamed
OF without their aid. The Introductory
essay occupies lis pages, treating OF the
life OF Pindar, his works, theme, thought
style and art metres, dialect and syntax
The notes fill nearly $50 pages and evince a
surprising amount OF study and research
At the end OF the book are admirably
arranged Greek and English induces.
The general reader will be interested In
learning that the Pfndaric poems are chiefly
| songs of victory composed in celebration OF
successes gained Mt the great national
/ games. The Olympian games were cele-
| brnted by the ancient Greeks at the end oil
every fourth year the Pythian festival was
celebrated in the third year Of each olym-
/ piad. Pindar was born about 522 b. @. and
| was only 20 years old when lie made his
mark as II poet. His extant writings ar,
arranged under the heads Of "humnoi, ;
| (songs of praise, whence we derive thu
/ word "hymn,') ''paianes," thanksgiving
whence the word ''pRan,") "huporchem
ata,' ''prosodia," (whence the wort
"prosody, y "parthenia, "encomia," Qaud
afory poems, whence "encomium,' y "par
oinla," ''dithyramboi" and ''threnoi,
(songs of lamentation.) At the foot Of eacl

tion-A Dissension in thc Church.
The assignment of the Rev. DR.. Bristor
by the Newark, N. j., Methodist Confer
ence to the passionate of the Methodist
church at Spring Valley, N. Y, has led
to fractional quarrel among its members.
Some are disposed to recognize the
authority Of the conference. Others say
that DIR. Bristor was sent TO the Spring
Valley church because he could not be
pushed into any other pulpit, and that
his appointment is an insult to the church.
DR.. Clark, one of the leading members of
the church, says that the revolt is among
the ''chronic kickers" only. The
church board of directors discussed the
appointment at meeting held last Friday
evening in animated style. IL was finally
decided to receive the new pastor, but il
is said that he was not to be accorded the
usual privilege of administering the sacra.
ment on the first Sunday of his appear
ance. A committee of the church mem
bers watched every train arriving in
Spring Valley on Saturday evening to
greet him, and were on hand TO meet him
at the only train that rolled into the viii
lage on Sunday morning. His failure to
appear led to the closing of the church
for the day.
LII is rumored in Spring Valley that DIR.
Bristor does not intend TO honor the
church by his presence; that he forced
his recognition by the conference to the
extent of securing M appointment only
TO clear his skirts, md that he contem
| plates becoming the pastor of n church oi
another denomination in Brooklyn, N. Y.
eastern district The church at Spring
Valley, N. ", is small one. II has

pastors have heretofore received 300 pei
year, but the directors had decided I,
pay DIR. Bristor $500.
