Mr.. j. j. BAYNE, So Lake avenue, Roches-
ter, N. Y, will tell you if you write en-
closing stamp, that this wonderful story
is true: I'm 1882 was taken to the Cliff
ton Springs saritarium in most de-
plorable condition, with congestion of
liver, constant cold hands and feet, rush
ing of blood to the head, purple spots on
my face, and my skin was as yellow as a
lemon. The slightest food could not be
taken without such distress and spasms
tat my screams could be heard long
distance. I had prolapsus very severely,
profuse leucorrhoa, and uterine liberation
so that 1 could not wear supporter. The
doctors said that l had the worst case they
ever saw. In two months 1 lost 40 pounds
of flesh, and suffering all the time from
intense headaches, and unable to obtain
sleep, while colo, clammy sweats would
break out over my body frequently. I'm
der the operation of Warmers safe cure
my skin cleared up and l began to gain
flesh, and was able to walk one full mile.
My case created such an interest at the
sanitarium that Warmers safe cure has
since been prescribed for its patients with
good results. never was so healthy in
my life"

countries of Europe there is one spot

This fact is brought to mind by the an
nouncement that Switzerland has elected
president for 1857 in the person of NJ
N. Droz, now vice president. These an
nual changes occur SO quietly that they
do not cause even ripple on the sea of
politics. Commerce houcishes, education
progresses, and the people, true to the
traditions which crown their past with

INcoNGRU1TIEs OF THE TARIFF.

The Philadelphia Record brings public
attention to the following incongruities
of the tariff, that are at once amusing and
offensive to the good sense of the country:
Assistant Secretary Fairchild, in his re-
port accompanying the special report of
Secretary Manning, gives some examples
of the incongruities and Inconsistencies of
a tariff system which its friends have been
tinkering at for quarter of a century.
A paragraph of the tariff act provides
that "animals specially imported for
breeding purposes shall be admitted free
upon proof satisfactory to the secretary
of the treasury" Under this act thou
sands of sheep have been brorght from
Mexico free, sheared on this side of the
line and sent back again. The secretary
can have no other proof than the declara
ton of the importer.
The collector at one port believes that
certain ribbon is hat trimming, and
levies duty of 20 per cent. upon it. At
another port the collector believes the
same ribbon to be an importation of silk,
and levies duty of 80 per cent. In one
paragraph of the tariff fish fresh for i'm
mediate use" are declared free, while in
another paragraph a duty of so cents per
100 pounds is imposed on fresh fish, The
assistant secretary of the treasury men
tions similar incongruities in the duties
on paving tiles and other articles; and
still the protectionists clamor against
any revision OF the tariff.

that H. Il, Warner d Co., have educated
the people of this country to the belief,
that vast majority of human diseases
originate in improper action of the kid

uric and lithic acids, or kidney and liver
waste, which inhame and irritate all the
organs and thereby produces so many
different diseases: Hence remedy that

bottles of the wonderfully effective
Warmers Safe Cure. The proprietors do
not ask you to believe what they say, but
frankly tell you to write to those whose
testimonials are published, and to ask
your friends and neighbors what they
think of this great remedy. That shows
how great is their confidence in the favor
of the public, on which they reckon be-
cause of the merits of their preparation

THE AFRICAN DRAMATIsr.
He Invents InnOcen Adventures for the
Sheer Love of Acting.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A telegraphic message was one night
brought to a colored servant in Philadel-
phia by his friend, announcing that his
mother was very Ill in Baltimore and that
he must come to her at once. The friend
was much worried at not finding him, but
went away without showing or leaving
the message. The man came home at the
usual hour and set about the work OF get
ting ready for the night. He was over
whelmed at the bad news, went out, re-
turned at midnight, having Sc
cured a competent woman to take his
place, and departed for Baltimore in the
morning. He was gone a day or W and
on returning said he was too late. He
saw the black Grape on the door as he
came up. There was a mistake, how
ever, in the telegram. 1t was his grand
mother. not his mother, but he added,
with tears in his eyes, ''She brought us
up, my sister and me, and she was ike a
mother to me-" She died with his name
on her lips, asking again aud again for
him and much panied at not seeing him.
She left him two small houses in Balti-
more, and he had many touching stories
60 tell OF her goodness when a boy.
But there was nothing in the whole
story from beginning 20 end except that
ne had gone to a funeral out OF he
had no grandmother; he had received no
telegram; had not been 10 Baltimore and
was heir TO no property. With the aid OF
his friend he had manufactured the whole
tale, not for an excuse TO get away-he
could have gone without it-but solely 10
crafty his dramatic instinct; from pure
delight In %inventing a plot and playing
his part IN it. He was the devoted son,
receiving his reward and mourning his
~benefactor. Another time he went TO the
seashore for a day and returned delighted
with his adventures there. lie wondered
he had never gone before. But his adyen-
lures were purely fictitious and so far from
having never seen tbO sea, he had been u
waiter at Long Branch for five summers.
But his inventions were never malicious.
He told the %neighbors that he had lived
fifteen years with the family where he
had not been six months. and detailed
with great particularly the acts OF kind
ness they had done from year 10 year.
