Wonderful.

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 25th, 1880.
"Very seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated BY Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
lers persons talking to their friends of
cure, seemingly little short of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the COM
munity:
William Lincoln Curtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now
employed at II. X. Porter & Co.'s loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with hls mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with a violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into a
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
'llc gradually grew worse, and in few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the check bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
lar1y, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblauce of
y skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufTcrings were of
such an indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
| better 1t he was called away. At this time
! physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give no hopes Of
recovery.
The young man finally commenced taking
that wonderful medicine, pERUNA. In two
( weeks quite a change for the better, was per-
ceptlbIe. In SIX weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient was quite as well as he had
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks agG
he resumed work as 4 machinist at his old place,
able to perform much labor as cverin his life.
The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said : Indeed, I can not look upon
| the cure much less than as & miracle. l do not
| hesitate N sounding the praise of PERUNA, and
| IN recommending it to all my friends.''
The pastor Of the church where the Young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the defOrmed
bones, the cmaciated condition from disease,
and OF the doctors having given him up. lie
was greatly surprised at his improved condition.
SsIi he, " II he had not spoken, would not
have known him."

Cancer Cured.

Mrs. Oliver Hardman, an old
resident of Walton county, and
lady of culture and prominence,
has this to say of the treatment of
cancer with Swift's Specific:
Over fifteen years ago cancer
made its appearance on my face.
1t was treated with plasters and
the core came out. The place
healed up after some time, and
seemingly my face was we'll.
However, in few years it return
ed again with more violence than
ever. 1t gave me q great deal of
pain. The former remedy seem
ed to do it no good. Knowing
the disease to run in the family,
having had one sister to die with
cancer, | became seriously appre-
hensive of my condition. 1t con-
tinued to increase in size and viz
ulence. l almost gave up all hope
of ever being cured. The physi-
clans advised the use of the knife
and caustic. This was more than
l could bear, and refused to have
1T operated upon in that way. All
other remedies were used, but the
cancer continued to grow worse.
The pain was excruciating, and
my life was a burden. In this
extremity my son, DR.. Hardman,
recommended me to try Swift's
Specific. It.was the last resort,
but l was SO prejudiced against
the use of patent medicines, and
especially this one, that | hesita
ted some time. At last l gave my
consent, not believing there was
any virtue in it. The first bottle
only increased the size Of the sore
and the discharge from it, hence
did not inspire me with any hope.
On taking the second bottle there
were signs of Improvement, and
my faith strengthened just in pro-
portion to that Improvement
The spot on my face began to de-
crease, as well as the discharge
and hope sprang up in my heart
Gould it be, [ asked myself, that
l was at last to be relieved of this
disease? It had given me SO many
dark hours in the past that the
idea OF being we'll again almost
overpowered me. There was a
contest between hope and fear for
long time. 1t was long night
of weeping, but JOY came with the
morning. There is nothing left
to mark the place but Il small scar
and | feel that it is impossible for
me to express my gratitude for
this great deliverance. 1t is a
wonderful medicine.

a SpicY Letter.


President Cleveland recently ap-
pointed certain Judge in whose
favor very nurereusly signed pet-
tions had been filed. He soon after
wards received letter from an i'm
dividual stating .' that the appointee
was an unit man for Judge, that the
community were disgusted with the
choice, and that the writer and others
had signed the petition merely to get.
rid of she applicant, knowing his uns
fines, and never dreaming Of his ap.
pointment."
The President in reply consoted
him with the following gentle words.
WASHINGTON, August 8.
Dear Sir:-I have read your letter
with amaxement and Indignation
There is but one mitigation to the
perGdy which it discloses, and that's
found in the fact that you confess
your share in 1t. / don't know
whether you are Democrat or not,
but if you are. the crime which you
confess is the more unpardonable.-
The idea that this administration
pledged to give the people better
government and better offices, and
engaged in hand-to-hand fight with
the had clements of both parties,
should be betrayed by those who
should be worthy of implicit trust is
atrocious and such treason to the
people and party should be punished
by imprisonment. Your confession
comes too late to be of any immediate
use TO the public service, and can
only say that while this is not the
first time 1 have been deceived by
lying and trcacherous misrepresen.
tationst you are the first who has
frankly confessed his grievous fault.
If any comfort is to be extracted from
this statement you are welcome to it.
Yours truly,
GRovER CLEVELAND.

The invention of Paper.

How, wien, or by whom paper was
first invented will never be known.
According to Hallam, documents on
paper are found as early as the tenth
century, and it came into use not long
after this era, and completely sup.
planted all other materials which were
formerly employed for the purposes
for which it is now used. 1t will be
observed that the invention of paper
of some kind was an absolute me-
cessity before there could be print.
ing, as parchment was fur too expen-
sive to use for the purpose, even were
it otherwise perfectly adapted to this
use. The use of paper in Western
Europe dates from the time mem
toned, but it was known to tile Chi.
nesc long before the Christian era,
and it is believed that they used the
bark of various trees, the soft part
of the bamboo stems, cotton and
several other kinds of vegetable
tibcrs. From the Chinese It Is sup.
posed to have spread to India, thence
to Arabia, and the manufacture was
introduced into Europe by the NIoors
of Spain, but about this there Is no
certainty. The rice paper Of the
Chinese is made in the samc general
way as the papyrus of the ancient
Egyptians, by placing in proper or
der layers of fibcrs and cenenting
them with sizing or glue. The first
patent for paper making was taken
out in England in 1865, but it was
/" for making blue paper, such as is
used by bakers. (" The next for
making writing papers, was in 1875,
and covered writing and printing
