Chronic Dysentery.

Mr.. James Brannan, Second avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, writes For two years
have been constantly troubled with a
chronic diarrhea, or dysentery, having
had, on an average, from twenty to
twenty-five passages every twenty-four
hours, and every one bloody. / had
thoroughly tried all the prominent ply
sicians in Pittsburgh, was twice in the
West Penn Hospital, the first time thir-
teen weeks, and though left it much
better, yet in five days I was as bad as
ever. / then tried two other great doc
tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me was not long for this world,
and advised me to write to my friends
about it. / next went to DR.. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said, he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and / have now
been entirely well for several weeks, and
never felt better in my lif though I am
still taking his PERUNA. I will take il
whenever I need medicine.
Mr.. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes
81 have suffered intensely from piles and
chronic diarrh9a. was treated by five
of the best physicians and surgeons in
the city of Pittsburgh, and with all grew
constantly worse. Finally three Of them
said my only hope was an operation.
This frightened me, and I went immedi-
ately to DR.. Hartman, who has entirely
cured me with PERUNA. have been at
work now for three months, and never in
my life felt better. Call and see me at
corner of Twenty-scventh and Mulberry
streets, Twelfth ward, Pittsburgh"
Mr.. Patrick Cunningham, S. S., near
Sidney street, Pittsburgh, Pa, writes
For five years have suffered inexpress-
IDLY from internal and external piles.
have tried the best physicians Of Pitts
burgh and Allegheny without relief I
went to DR.. Hartman, who cured me
without detention from work with Pc
RUNA."
Charles Frank, of Emrichville, Jeffer-
son county, Ohio, writes: =" / had piles
and fistula in ano for four years. l had
suffered constantly with discharge of
matter from the parts, and sometimes
from the contents of the bowels through
it. / could not have borne it much
longer. had heard SO much of the i'll
effects of knife operation that resolved

silly idea Of cutting it, and at once per-

The Great Eastern.

There seems to be o wide difference of
opinion concerning the cost of the steam
ship Great Eastern, and her s;z, com
pared to Noah's Ark The cost oil build
ing and launching the Great Eastern was
So CSC, 900, and this broke the original
company. A new company was formed
which spent 100000 in fitting and fur.
nishing her. Then this company failed
and new company was organized with
capital OF S500,00O. At the close OF
1880 this company sunk esq 715 upon
the vessel, thus making her total cost
s4,7O3 SIS Nothing ever built can stand
comparison with the Great Eastern ex
cep,ing Noah's Ark, and even lh g vessel
could not ma ch her. The l'ngth Of the
Ark was 300 cubits, her breadth so Gu
bits, and her height 80 cubits. The Gu.
bit Of the Scriptures, according to Bish.
op Wilkins, was 81 65-100 inches, and
computed into English measurement the
Ark was SAT feet long, 81 feet beam. 81
ITO feet depth, and q. 1852 tons The
Grea. Eastern Is $50 feet long, SO feet
beam, 81 feet depth. aud 28 093 tons
measurement. So Noah's Ark is quite
overshadowed by the Great Eastern.

JEWELRY SWINDLERS.
Two Canadian Crooks Captured In New
YORK City.


New YORK, Sept. 8.-Two alleged
Canadian swindlers were lodged In
Ludlow Street jail, this morning, by
Deputy Sheriff Brown. They were Sol
ONION Levine and Isaac Rosenstone,
late dealers in jewelry in Montreal, and
were arrested late last night, on civil
order granted by Judge Donohue, of
the supreme court. In the early part
of the summer Levine and Rosenstone
opened jewelry store in Montreal,
and, by representing themselves as
good for large amount of money,
obtained between $4,000 and
$4,000 worth of iewelry on
credit from various firms. Not
long after they closed their store
and left for British Columbia, taking
all the jewelry with them. The credit
ors soon learned of the state of af-
fairs, and placed the case in the hands
of detectives, who succeeded IN ascer-
tanning that Rosenstone and Levine
had, after telling the jewelry in British
Columbia at so cents on the dollar,
left there for the United States. Be
fore doing so they had sent word to
their wives in Montreal OF their move
ments. The wives, on the 3lst OF last
month, left for this city. Two detectives
Swallowed them to the Grand Central
Depot here, when they were lost sight
Of. The aid of Pinkerton's detectives
was then called in, and the trunks of the
wives were located at the office of the
National Express Company, 145
Broadway, where they had been sent
to be called for. On SATURDAY. last. q
detective accidentally met Rosenstone
and his wife in a Grand Street car, and,
following them, found that they were
stopping at 221 Henry Street. A
watch was kept Oh the house. Late
last night Levine also appeared on the
scene calling on Rosenstone. AS soon
as ne entered the detectives followed
and captured both men. William
Eaves, one of the jewelers. swindled, is
here and it was at his instance that
the civil order for arrest was served.
Bail has been fixed for each of the men
at Sc, 900.

Using Old Wood Cuts.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.l
The name Of Charles Lincoln is ia
miliarly known to every dog fancier
in England and America. For years he
superintendent every public bench show
held in the United States. His death
some months ago called forth pro-
found sorrow from the many who
knew him. On the occasion of his
death the New York World published
an exhaustive sketch OF his life, head
ing it with a life-like wood cut of Mr.
Lincoln. The picture was really a.
good one, and was q source of salts
faction to his friends What became
of the Worlds wood cut after the day
of it's original use is not known.
Whatever course it took, however, the
sequel seems to show that it ultimate
ly found it's way to Philadelphia and
served a most unfortunate purpose.
| On August 10 the daily Item, of this
city. published a sensational article
bearing upon the scandalous conduct
OF the Rev. Mr.. Downs, a Baptist cler-
gyman of Boston. The recital was
headed with a wood cut purporting to
be..a picture Of the accused D. D., but
which was no other than that Of the
late Charles Lincoln. There was no
mistaking the Englishman' S character
istically Jolly expression, his bald head
and Dundreary whiskers. The old
World cut had been used.
His friends were naturally indignant.
and were for at once proceeding against
the Item.
'tBetter move cautiously" argued a
/ faW of tho wiser bpoHS EsDorbo
Downs and Lincoln looked alike.
Well make inquiry" And so they
did. 1t is now declared that no two
men ever looked more unlike each
other than did the Boston clergyman
and the deceased dog fancier. Downs,
it is stated, wears no beard, and in
stead of being bald his head is covered
with a luxuriant growth Of hair. In
fact, he has no facial characteristics
that could liken him to Mr. Lincoln.
'"This thing is an outrage" declared
a member OF the Philadelphia Kennel
Club to-day. '"The Item has appar-
emily bought up lot of old cuts and
has been using them right along, no
matter whether they suit or not.
| When the Downs scandal came out
they seem to have just thrown in poor
Lincoln's picture without inguirine
whether the men bore any resemblance
to each other or not. 1t is an outrage
and propose to bring it to the atten-
ton OF the Westminster Kennel Club
The members thought a great deal Of
Lincoln, and it would not surprise me
If they should proceed against the Item
on behalf of his family"
