The campmeeting season is now at its
height. All over New England, from the
sylvan lakes of Maine to the shores of
Long Island sound, and from the pine
barrens of Cape Cod to the wooded hills
of Vermont large assemblages are camp
ing out, receiving the benefits of the Cos
pei while they view the beauties OF nature.
The development of this campmeeting
idea is one of the most remarkable
features in New England social life.
A score or more years ago camp
meetings We're rare, and those VINO
attended them were considered OF DOUBT
full reputation. They might be honest
enough, but such conduct had too much
levity about it for good Christian people
to countenance. Much of this feeling was
no doubt due to the fact that in the ma
jority of cases the assemblages were com
posed of devout Dissenters, who, unable
TO build churches of their own, had gone
to worship in Gods first temple" En-
thuSiaStic and unrestfaned III thelr utter
ances, frequently giving vent 10
shouts and hallelujahs OF praise
that made the groves ring for
miles around, the Sober-mlnded people
who had churches of their own, and who
believed that God should be approached
with fear and trembling, viewed those
woodland worshippers askance, ana CON
sidered them as G lass OF uncultlVated en-
thusiaSts who had Il great deal OF Sentl-
ment and a very little religion:
1t took years and years OF labor, but the
campers-out have won at last ana the
wealthy banker and his stately dame, who
sit under the "holy subdued hight OF
stained glass and read their devotlons from
gold -clasped prayer books when at Their
city home, no longer think it degrading TO

DR.. Gage and his Wonderful Cures

Again DR.. Gage has made the circuit of his
northern route and again has he been greet
ed by multitude of suffering, invaids, anT-
skill. 1t is significant fact that DR.. Gage Wis
its his places of appointment reauldrlN which
no man can do unless he has the ability to
cure cases that the ordinary local practitioner
fails upon. And we are happy to see that
some local physicians not only recognize this
fact by recommending Dr. Cages treatment,
but have called him in consultation upon
cases that have bailled their skill This is
right, for no physician who dcvotes himself
to the treatment of acute diseases, such as
fevcrs, etc, can be expected to meet with the
success of Il specialist like DIR. Gage, who has
seen thousands of the most difficult and COM
plicated lOng-standing diseases in all their
phases. 1t is true DR.. Cages treatment is
somewhat peculiar yet 10y it ne is constantly
demonstrating the fact that in the field, the
forest, and upon the mountain side there cx-
lists in wild proiusion an antidotc for every
durable disease: The results OF his skill are
not far-fctchcd, but can be seen on every
hand, for hund tcds walk the avenues of life
to-day who have been rescued from beds of
Iar.liShng dies pair through its bcncnCcnt in
~trumcutuitN. This is no idle talk, as the fol-
lowing viii show:
Mrs. George d. Kiddcr, Planncd Vt, wife
of the well known and popular station agent,
was Il terrible sufferer. with Catarrh of the
stomach and other difficulties went to the
! hospital at Burlington, and was treated 10y the
| physician in charge. but returned home no
! better. When Dr. Gage took her case she
weighed about 100 pounds to-day she weighs
! l%ila pounds, feels irst-rate, and can eat any

The accident to the steamer Ticonkeroga
on Lake George, on Monday, occurred
about 10 o'clock Il. m, when the steamer
was about eight miles from Caldwell on
her way down the lake After landing ut
kaatskill she was crossing to the Marion
house, when the passengers Il hundred or
more in number, We're startled by sharp
crack, sounding almost like an explosion,
occasioned by the swapping of the strap
of the walking beam, followed by several
loud crashes, as the heavy beam and con
Meeting rods, came crashing down, cutting
through the main stairway, breaking the
surrounding wood work, and pretty much
demolishing the engine. There was of
course decided sensation, and lively
demand for life preservers but
all on board, officers, crew and
passengers behaved exceedingly well ;
and we are assured by persons who
were present that the accounts tele-
pandemonium" on board, women trying
to jump overheard, etc, are sensational
eXaggerations, One lady, who happened to
be separated by the boats length from her
husband, went into Mysteries, but other
wise there was little screaming and no
gineer, Edward Perrault, had just been
oling his engine when he heard the crash.
| He Immediately 'unhOoked" the eng ne
and shut off steam Had this not been
/ done many people might nave Deen DaulS
scalded, as the cylinder head was broken
in by the fall of the shaft The steamer
whistled loudly for assistance, and soon Il
hundred small boats and steam yachts
put out to her from various points. Cap
tain ManVille sent word by Il little steam
cr to the Kaatskill house and telegraphed
thence to the captain Of the Horizon, which
steamer went ut once to the relief OF the
TiconderoGa The steamer was running
with but thirty-iive pounds of steam on
her limit being fifty pounds. The acct
dent was caused by Il flaw in the strap OF
the walking beam. The loss is fully $50,
600, as the boat will be disabled for the
remainder of the season. The engine is
badly wrecked, the walking beam, con
denser, piston and cylinder top all being
broken. 1t originally cost S26 900. a
small steamer, the Danelia, towed the III
conderOga back to Caldwell. Captain
Manville met with a narrow escape, as I
sofa on which he had been sitting was
crushed to pieces moment after he lef
it, For the present the steamer Horizon
will make double trips. This Is the mrs
serious accident that has befallen steam
er of the Champlain Transportation com
pany since the loss of the Champlain, ant
with that exception the only one in owe
thirty years.

satisfactory Interview Between Lord Sal
isbury aud the Russian Ambassador.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Telegraph
states that before leaving for Dieppe Lord
Salisbury held long interview with the
Russian ambassador The Telegraph
adds eve learn on undoubted authority
that Russia has made proposals regarding
the Xulticar pass, which evince decided
ly conciliatory mood. As matter of fact,
the government has not yet taken any
step respecting this, beyond formally but
cordially acknowledging the receipt. The
difficulty before the cabinet lies in attain
ing a settlement that will, in the spirit as
we'll as in the letter, renState the Amer
to the possession of the pass.
The Globe saws it has good reason to be
lieve that the Marquis of Salisbury will
utilize his visit to the continent to inter
view the leading European ministers and
diplomats with view to smoothing
asperities at present existing in the rela-
tions between England and some of the
foreign courts.

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Conditions Likely to Make 1t the Great
Winter SanItarium of the United States.

Conditions Likely to Make 1t the Great
Winter SanItarium of the United States.
From my own observations, and
from inquiries made on the spot, l am
of opinion that the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park possesses, in high degree,
all these essential conditions In
elevation above the sea it surpasses
Davos; the great plateau of the park is
between seven and eight thousand feet
above sea-level, while it is stated that
not one of the narrow valleys dips
below six thousand feet. The noun
tain ranges, partly surrounding and
partly within the park, rise to heights
of from ten thousand to twelve thou
sand feet. / should anticipate, there
fore, that all the advantages which. as
a winter resort for invalids, Davos pos
seSseS from its elevated position, would
be enjoyed even in greater degree in
the Yellowstone Park. The period of
valids could remain there probably
until the end of April, whereas the
melting of the snow generally COM
pels them too leave Davos early in
March, when the climate of the valleys
is peculiarly unfavorable for chest
complaints. 1t is to be expected. from
its greater elevation, that a still clearer
sky and a larger proportion of sunny
days would be experienced in the Vel
lowstone Park, while the wholes ONE
ness of the air would be still more
marked, owing to its comparatively
greater freedom from zymotic matter
