my life, Up To twenty eight years
ago was regarded as the strongest
man in the neighborhood-the most
robust in health. In November,
1856, | had a long and serious spell If
typhoid fever. 1t left me emaciated
and cripple in any left leg. AT
times that limb was swollen an enor
nous size, being twice as large as its
natural condition, and inhamed and
angry in appearance. From my knee
down small sores came, and at the
ankle IA large ulcer came, which dis
charged poisonous matter. My whole
system became infected. The doctors
would patch me up for awhile, hut
the ulcer would never heal. The
mercury and potash with which they
dosed me brought on rheumatism ami
dyspepsia. | was an ohjectof pity To-
all my friends. Some thought that
the only hope to save my life WAS am

the shadows which have darkened my

To-day am able to attend to all my

that the disease is entirely broken up,
and henceforth | am to be free from
those terrible apprehensions and suf'

There is scarcely ANYTHING remarkable in

tapestry and rare bric-a -brac. but Bismarck.

pointment is not worth even 5000 pounds
sterling: schonhausen Is yalueless. Varzin
does not yield much, and the estate at Fried

abundance Of touches, sometimes two or
three in one room. On the chimney pieces
are the brunz, lust Of Moltke, crowned with

mention is due to the bronzs Imitation of the

fine oak cupboard in the s~moking-room. A
