Wonderful.

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-
tiers persons talking to their friends of a
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 H. 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 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.
nc SIduudllJ grew worse, ana IN q lew
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, 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 semblance of
a skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings were of
such an indiscribable character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
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 change for the better, was per-
ceptible In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely, while in spirits and
strength the patient was quite well as he had
ever been in his life Nearly three weeks ago
he resumed work machinist at his old place
able to perform much labor as ever in his life
" The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts, said: Indeed l can not look upon
the cure much less than a miracle. do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PKRUNA, 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 emaciated condition from disease,
and OF the doctors having given him up. He
was greatly surprised at his improved condition.
Said he, I" If he had not spoken, would not
have known him.''

LIEUT.. SCHwATKA, the well known
explorer VINO visited Alaska a couple of
years ago, declares that the United States
has really something in that territory
besides icebergs and snow-capped noun
tains. There is an Arctic side to it,
where the ice-foes drift and the Esqui+
maux hunt the walrus and the polar
bear. But the other side to the south
has temperature of Washington and
Baltimore. The "tide-water strip" is
heavily timbered with yellow cedar of
the very finest grain. The trees grow to
an immense size. The wood is especially
valuable as moth protector. Although
the salmon of the Yukou river is inferi-
or to that of the Columbia, yet owing
to the immense number Lieut.. Schwatka
thinks the Alaska coast will be the great
salmon fishery of the world. The sup
ply is practically inexbaustible. Cod
fishing banks, larger than those on the
Atlantic coast, also exist, and that int
dustry is likewise destined to be large
one Such it is-cedar chests, salmon
canneries, Goldfish and pine scenery. On
the whole, therefore, since this is about
all the Lieutenant feels able to say
about it, the prospect of Alaska ever
being very rich or very important part
of the country is quite doubtful OF
course its hidden wealth-its minerals,
if it has any-is yet to be explored. But
the best prophecy he can make of its
future is that its progress will be very
slow and when California and Oregon
are Englands and Germanies, Alaska
will be the Norway of North America.

THAT class of Prohibitionists properly
known as the st. Johnnies, and indeed
all who seek, in season and out of sea-
son, to make the matter of prohibition
of the manufacture and sale OF lntoxlt
eating drinks the paramount political
question, should in this State call upon
the Democracy to give them the assist
anee that is ready to the hands Of the
possessnrs Of power.
Two years ago we had an excellent
law upon the statute book of Ohio that
was enforcing itself-the Scott law
that yielded large revenue and did
much that should have had the com
mendation and support of all good citi-
zens, in the wholesome regulation of the
liquor traffic. The Republicans, that the
demand for fair trial of strength
might be complied with, had made
themselves responsible for the submis+
sion under the forms of the Constitution
of prohibitory amendment.
The result was not encouraging. The
amendment failed, but the Democratic
party came to the front. The fruit of
the victory was the election of the lead
ing attorney of the Liquor Dealers As+
sociation to be Governor of Ohio, the
election of a Democratic General Ast
sembly-the coal-oil crowd of evil fame
the election of a Democratic Q. S.
Senator, the re-establishment of free
trade in all sorts of liquors in Ohio, and
the embarrassment of every municipal
treasury in the State; and when the Ma
tional contest came off the st. Johnny
fraud turned the decisive State of New
York against Mr.. Blaine, and made
Cleveland President of the United
State.
We feel, therefore, that it is only rea-
sonable to say to those Prohibitionists
that they have done enough for the De-
mocracy to entitle them to be heard in
Democratic caucuses, and to know what
the Democratic party will do for them.
We do not think the Republicans
called upon to take further proceedings
| in that case. The Republicans of Ohio
are, we believe, in favor of the Scott
law, in such form that its constitution
ality would be beyond doubt. and they
are in favor of Republican form of
government, and so are opposed to
forcing into political contests the dis
cussion of inconclusive propositions for
the exclusive benefit of the Democratic
party. Temperance agitations that pro-
duce st. John frauds and Democratic
Presidents and perfect freedom of trade
in spirituous and malt liquors, ferment-
ed wine and cider, and Democratic Leg
islatures with immense additions to pub
lie burdens displayed in a contemporane-
Gus rise in taxes and the weight of debts,
must be classed by the Republicans as
Improbable things; and the cranky ma
lignants who are screeching that they
propose to scourge the Republicans un
til they submit as a party and give the
country UP to the Democrats for the
meantime (Which would be as good as
giving them lease for ninety-nine
years., should be encouraged to go off by
themselves - Gin. Com. Gaz.

While GAINESVILLE was sweltering
under pressure of 81 degrees, Far
renheit, last Sunday, ladies wore wraps
at Dunbar's. Cave to keep themselves
from becoming chilled. The spacious
alcove at the entrance of the Cave was
filled all day with people who had
gone out from the city to escape the
intense heat.
Any place on the American conti-
nent of which this statement can be
truthfully made can be turned to great
profit as as summer resort.
The picturesque location of the Cave
and the many attractions of which it
can boast, taken in connection with
the cool temperature which is pre-
served there throughout the heated
term, are conclusive proofs that il is
worth fortnne to the man who will
improve and advertise it. Even now
when there are no hotel accommoda-
tons there and it is absolutely in the
woods, as it were, there are no less than
seven families camped there in the
most primitive stylesuffering the want
OF all the comforts that a hotel could
provide in order to enjoy the benefits
of the cave and it is thronged every
day with transient visitors. The cave
is naturally great place and could be
made celebrated place. A few thous-
and dollars spent on buildings, gravel
ed roads &c, and liberal advertising
would accomplish the result

Two young negroes named Tigg
Meriwether and General Boyd went
into Dibble's photograph gallery Mon
day afternoon and the former ordered
a picture made of himself. When
shown the negative of the picture he
expressed dissatisfaction with it and
began to curse and use bad language
Mr.. Dibble made him leave the house
and then turned to Boyd and told him
to go too. Without any greater provo
cation Boyd knocked him down. Mr..
Dibble is a man passed middle life
and of rather light frame and Boyd is
a hurley young negro not passed
twenty-five. He is an impudent and
turbulent character and this is not the
first scrape of the kind he has been
into. He and MeriwetheP were both
taken before the Recorder Tuesday
morning. The former was fined $3.50
and the latter $40. Later state war
rant was sworn out against Boyd, he
submitted his case before 'Sqire Reed,
and was again fined $3.50. He was
worked with the county work force
one day when his fine was paid and he
was released.
