the advent of spring we confidently

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 18th, 1880.
every 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-
ters 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 we'll known in the COM
munity:
"William Lincoln Curtis is the name
Of the young man in question. He is now
EMPLOYED at II. K. Porter s. Co.'S loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with 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
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
ale 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 70

blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
dcteriorating effects, was now added. and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblance of
q skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his suferings were Of
such an indiscsibable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought 1t would be
better if 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, PERrEA. In two
weeks quite change for the better, was per-
ceptible. IN six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and

VIM. Farmes was on the point of
striking Gail when the Marshal
caught him and attempted to take
him to the lookup. His friend in
terfered, and a row was imminent
Marshal Auer knocked Farmts
down and drew his revolvers. Just
then special police arrived, and
the crowd was dispersed after four
had been locked up. This is the
first arrest of strikers since the strike
began Some were afraid the Jail
would be broken open and the pris-
oners let out, but the strikers could
not raise enough force.

Doing His own DOctOrIng.

In Nicholas county there lives a
preacher of the Southern Methodist
persuasion who, for several months,
has been a victim of hypochrOndia, a
disease of the organs Of digestion
which causes melancholy. He is a
man of middle age, married, and, 1t
is said, a very good expounder OF
religious doctrines from his point of
view. But he has been in a gloomy,
melancholy mood for some time. lie
had no will to work, and was con-
stantly expecting trouble to overtake
him. About the first of the new
year he made up his mind that he had
discovered the seat Of his disorder,
which he located in a nameless men,
Der. He at once determined that
amputation was the only remedy,
and accordingly sent for DIR: X. 5.
Henry, of Charleston. DIR. Henry
went to Nicholas county some time
in January, examined the minister
and told him that his fears were un
founded. He insisted, however, that
the operation should be performed
and offered to pay the physician $ own
price. But DIR. Henry refused to
listen to his proposal, saying that no
amount of money could induce him
to degrade his profession by amputat
ing a member which was absolutely
free from disease. He then advised
the preacher to give up his minister
al duties for a while and seek rest
elsewhere. Meantime the afflicted
parson had been indulging freely in
various patent preparations called
medicines, but had received no bene-
fit. In fact he grew worse, until
he was driven, as the sequel will
show, to the point of desperation. =
After the departure Of DR.. Henry a
n-ighboring physician was called in.
He subjected his would be patient to
a thorough examination, but failed to
discover signs Of disease in the parts
complained of, and promptly in
formed the preacher that all he
needed was a snort respite from his
daily labors and a change of sur
roundlngs. Nothing more was
heard from him until last Thursday
when information was received thai
on MONDAY he took sharp knife and
coolly proceeded to perform an opera
ton upon himself. Before the per.
formance was half over, the minister
had to call his wife, who aided him in
checking the flow Of blood until a
physician could be summoned. Al
last accounts the wretched man was in
a dangerous condition, aud it is likely
that he will die.

RETTER TIMES,

For some reason, or reasons, there
has been for some time now, an un-
sense of dullness not
altogether unattended with anxious
uncertainty, among those business
men of the country whose spheres
of operation are in anywise affected
by such variations Of trade as are
brought about in the trade
centers by causes nOtalways satisfac-
torily ascertainable, even under the
expert eye Of the professional specu
lator. Hard times, tight times,
dull times, are phrases more famil-
liar now than they were twenty-five
years ago, and they are phrases that
mean more now than they did then,
too. But there is nothing discour-
aging in this, when we reflect upon
the great progress the world has
made in trade within the last two
decades, upon the expansion Of the
area of commerce Of every kind
among men, upon the extension, the
intricacy, and the delicacy of the re
lations and associations of trade in
evitably evolved as from one stage
to another it has gone on its ever
widening, ever-ramifyiug courses un-
til the stock market7Gn which all
other markets are inexorably en-
braced-has become Mt only sort
of signal service department from
which forecasts for tTade are sent
out, but at the same time a great
bureau of fuesse in finance in
which artificial factors are nade up
and imposed upon trade, for the be-
wilderment of the uninitiated and in
the interests only of the scientists in
economy who deal in the substances
of business as the diplomatiSt deals
in the subtleties of State policy.
1t is wrong if not, indeed, a
ruinous condition of things when the
business interest of a great people,
and especially 8 great free people,
like this American people, can all be
brought into subsection to "rings"
that make "corners" to catch them,
or "kings" who make them mere
chess men for the boards on which
they play their games of skill and
hazard on the high planes Of finance.
1t is this that so often brings out the
cry of "hard times" when there is
everything to show that the times
really ought not to be hard. IL is
this that so often makes shadows in
the very face of sunshine, when
there are no clouds to be seen in the
skies. It is this that so often makes
business dull when even the best Of
business men are at a loss fer an an
swer to the question as to why it j;
so. But it is a condition of things
resulting from the plethora of the
country's resources without waiting
for system to save it from wasteful
ness through its rashness. As the
country grows older, as practical in.
telligence increases, and as the right
ful relations throughout all the de-
partments of trade are more gener-
ally appreciated, there will be less
and less of speculative uncertainty
and more and more of steadiness
and confidence in the great business
interest of the country.
That the dullest of the dull times
of the present period of dullness
have gone by, and that better and
brighter times are close at hand for
all sections of our country and ali
classes of our people, we have hardly
a doubt. There is no dearth of pro
duce, no dearth of money, no dearth
of healthful public spirit or legiti-

A Forgotten Fund.

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT WHICH NEVER W AS
BUILT.
An old tin box in which lot of papers and
package of District of Columbia $50 bonds
are kept was opened recently in the Treasury
Department to cut off coupons. This box con-
tains all that is left of the national Lincoln
monument fund which at one time amounted to
over 100000. When first deposited there were
ABOUT $1,000 worth of bonds, but in premiums.
accrued interest and reinvestment of interest
payments 1t has grown to nearly 81. 700. A
large sum was raised shortly after the assassin
alton of Mr.. Lincoln by popular contributions
of 81 for the purpose of erecting bronze mon
ument in commenoration of the martyr Presi-
dent. Mr.. Lincoln, according to the adver-
tsed design, was to be the central figure in
group Of the leading emancipators of his day
A committee of prominent citizens was APP
pointed to take charge of the matter, and eX-
Treasurer Spinner was appointed treasurer of
the fund. Confident that money would con-
tinue to flow in from all parts of the North, as
it did at first, some very eXtravagant plans
were arranged to carry out the general idea
Clark Mills, the sculptor, was directed to go to
work and prepare models for the monumental
group. Agents were appointed to nIake collec-
lions at a salary of $50 per month, and lot
of printing, engraving and stationery was pul-
chased. The sculptor's bills for time, labor
and material used in the construction of models
soon ate large holes in the fund, which did not
grow in proportion to the demands made upon
it. Finally, when the subscriptions ceased
coming in there was less than 81 900 left clear
of all expenses and no signs or hope of a mon
ument existed. The cash remaining vas con-
verted into S-65 bonds, the collection agents
were discharged and the accounts and bonds
were bundled into the tin box. This was
deposited in the United States Treasury for
security and it is only when the box is opened,
to add few dollars interest to the fund, that
the Treasury officials think of it. By the out
side world it is wholly forgotten.

A Crazy-Quilt Mania.

PARODY-BY A VICTIM.
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What you failed to perceive at the twilights
last cleaning;
A cranky concern that through the long night
Ger the bed where you slept was so saucily
streaming;
The silk patches so fair,
Round, three-cornered, and square
Gives proof that the lunatic bed quilt is there;
Oh, the crazy-qullt mania triumphautly raves
And maid wife and mother are bound as its
slaves.
On that quilt dimly seen as you rouse from
your sleep.
Your long missing necktie in silence reposes.
And the filosele insects that over it creep.
A piece of your vest half concealed half dis
closes.
There is Kensngton stitch
In desi gnS that are rich.
Snowflake. arasene. point russo, and ali sich.
Oh, the crazy quilt mania how long will it rave
And how long will fair women be held as its
slave:
And where is that wife who so yauntipgiy
SWore
That nothing on earth her affections could
smother,
She crept from your side at the Ginning of four
And is down in the parlor at work on another.
Your breakfasts are spoiled
And your dinners half boiled;
And your efforts to get a square supper are
f0ied
BY the crazy-quit mania that fcndi>hly raves
And to which all the women are absolute
slaves.
And thus it has been since the panic begun,
In many loved homes it has wrought desola-
ton.
And cursed is the power by every man.
That has brought him so close to the verge OF
starry alton.
But make it she must,
She will do it or bust.
Beg, swap, and buy pieces or get them on trust
Oh the crazy quilt mania may il soon cease to
rave
Ii the land of the free and the home Of the
brave.
