resources of the now famous place. When available rooms were all counted, one gentle man and his wife were obliged to be content with the sofas in the bare public room which until midnight was used for dancing. Young and untraveled, the lady might but for the thoughtful kindness of this queen of society. She at once profered the use of her conveniences in dressing room she had extemporized. With the cheapest of prints she had curtained off 8 place in 8 hallway where, with wooden pail for furnishing, she indulged in the luxury of her bath.
 Her hair was snowy white at this time, but her complexion was still very delicate, which her blue dress and veil heightened and everywhere she was conspicuous for her beauty and talent. Her husband had invest ed in the Porcupine Islands there, and with her superb physical vigor at all hours she was prospecting and revelling in the natural glory of that section.
 How bravely she has carried herself through the marvellous vicissitudes of her fate It isn't so long ago since she was dis covered in her home in New York suffering for the comforts of life, with everything sac riiced even to her fathers portrait Then the governorship of one of the territories was provided for her impecunious husband There, as everywhere, she won golden opin- ions and the affection of the people, for she was so practically interested in their good government and education. It is pleasant to see her recalling the happy and brilliant "reminiscences of her life.
 "Ireneus," so long the bright particular star of the New York Observer, was one of the party, and with the travellers instinct addressed himself to certain companions of the voyage. It is easy to believe in foreordi- nation when one contemplates his career Following his father and grandfather before him, he studied the same books at the same schools, and was graduated after the same fashion, at Yale for aught we know, for the same profession that they 1ejoiced in. Eligi- ble to the most distinguished social circles from his birth and profession, the course of his true love and life ran smoothly enough. In the initiation and development of all comfortable reforms and largely di- rected benevolence Dr. Prime was our Earl of Shaftsbury. He felt the force of genera tions preceding him in the appointed line of ministerial work, and could accept it's in sistence and favor as divinely appointed heritage and mission. But how about the tumult of discordant aims in hereditary livess We who tumble and toss in the sea of uncer- tainties wonder how much the pagan fates or the divine purpose have to do with the circumstances of life, since character may work out superiority anyhow, anywhere.

Some "Reminiscences.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The brilliant "reminiscences of a Queens drawing room from Wide Awake, in your issue of the 3d inst, recalls an impression of Mrs. Jessie Fremont's beauty and distinction at the time ot her presentation at this court and afterward.
 Notably one of the most cultivated and brilliant of our countrywomen, she retained until past forty her pre-eminence in Wash ington circles, excelling all younger women in personal grace and fascination. She could never be embarrassed. Nor in homeliest situations could inconven- fences disconcert her. When Mount Desert was first turing summer tourists with its uniqued attractions, before any hotels had been added to the old time structure there we had an opportunity to visit it. The voyagers that day down the coast of Maine were too many for comfortable enter tainment in the large old inn, or the family

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quint- essence of dust when blast ed by disease-his noble functions perverted or des- trOyed?
 AS ''all men are born free and equal, as far as moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is conceded question. To re- store it is an impOssibility, as long as people persist in immor- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals. To this end we offer to the pub- lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results in OverthrOWing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND 1 NERVE PILLS.
 The former is an infallible rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, I Nervous PrOstratiOn, Depression 1 caused by OverWOrk, etc. These remedies are gextensive- ly prescribed by physicians, & recommendation which does not obtain with any other prOprie- tary article, and command at the hands of the druggists ill New England a larger sale than any other medicine.
 IN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE COMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. As positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon appliea- tiOn.

That Corpse -

When persons can and Won. under
stand, we lose patience with them; but
when they are really incompetent to con-
pTehend meaning or grasp ideas, our soul
goes out in a food of compassion towards
them. The latter case expresses our feel
ings towards the ghost-like humorist on
our morning contemporary. For the past
week he has been haggling and gloaliHg
with fiendish glee over what he supposes
to haYe been a orthograpical errorin an
article which appeared in the ARGUS in
regard to the world coming to an end on
the fifth of the present month. We said
that the day after the world was expected
TO be in a defunct state "the ARGUS will
have corpse of reporters to care
fully note the proceedings" Most
people readily saw the point. -
but it seems that it was too far fetched
for the Drained Key Protector,
or else he took it for a slur on himself.
Although not unapplicable, we did not
mean it to reflect in any manner upon
Bill Hy, and We are sorry that he should
SO CONSIDER it. But as the world still re

undisputed SWAY.

City Printing

Old DanfOrth takes the cIty's money
for printing the council proceedings in
his weekly paper, and borTows the type
from the Union. He then raises & great
ado about their not being correct. 1t Is a
mystery to US why the council authorizes
the proceedings to be printed in Dan
forth's sheet, or any other weekly paper.
They are not printed in the Weekly Ar
GUS nor the Weekly Union, and it is a
waste Of money to have them printed in
any other than daily papers. The people
in the country are not interested in the
business which the council transacts. If
Danforth were sensible he would &c up
his jaw, for he has a soft thing al the
