The Alaska Glacier.

1t is estimated that the great moving
glacier OF Alaska is creeping toward the sea
at the speed of aquarter ofa mile annually,
says an exchange. The front OF the ad-
v~ancing glacier presents a formidable wall
of solid ice 500 feet thick. Its breadth
varies from ten to twenty miles. At inter.
walls OF half an hour vast blocks weighing
hundreds OF tons break off from the body
of the moving mass and tumble into the
sea with a crash and agitate it's surface
violently, creating waves that toss large
vessels in the vicinity about as if they
corks. The leo is pure, transparent and
dazzling to the eye, and is tinted from the
lightest blue to the deepest azure. The
surface OF the glacier is rough and broken,
resembling in its contour d chain OF minia'
t,ire mountains OF ice.

Tilden's Lady Love.

Miss Stauffer received twice every week
from Mr.. Ti'den a long letter. Con-
sidering that they were not under promise
OF marriage. this correspondence, what
ever its theme might have been, was sufi-
GENTLY remarkable without Mr.. Tilden's
making it almost historical by the eccen-
tricity OF his delivery. He would not trust
the postal service. Nor would he conde-
scend to hire an ordinary messenger. On
the stipulated days a gentleman Of social
standing such as permitted the confidence
OF the aged statesman received from his own
hands the missive, with the injunction to
it only to the fair consignee per-
sonally. At the cottage of the Stauffers
this a%ristocratic Mercury was received
with that formality his courtly hearing
to demand, and ushered into the
reception room. Ii Miss Stauffer was not
at home, he would call again when she
was. Not infrequentIy, On returning to
Gramercy Park or Greystone he carried to
the Democratic sage a mysterious reply to
his letter OF friendship.-N. Y. Star.

Does Prohibition Prohibit?
From the Hartford Courant.

" NDS
Connecticut has practically a prohibitory
liquor Law in the greater part OF its towns.
That is to say, the sale of intoxicating
liquor is prohibited in 100 of it's 167 towns
we believe that is about the number OF
towns that under the license law refused
by a majority vote to grant license.
How does the prohibition law work in
those towns? In nearly all of them it
works well. Now and then a town goes
back and votes license again, but the COM
mon experience, especially in ~manufactur-
ing towns, is that mo license is a great
protection. This is true also in farming
towns, where the establishment OF a grog
shop leads many a country boy to ruin.
Now, why does the "non-license" work
well in these towns? Because q majority
OF the people want it. Because there lisa
public opinion to vote it aud enforce it.
And it is effective just incorporation as that
majority is large and that public opinion
active. This State is ruled by the votes OF
the majority. We accept that condition
as on the whole the best, though the ma.
iority are not always wise, and do not al.
ways choose the best things for themselves.
Az autocrat OF wise mind and benevolent
disposition might enforce upon the COM
munity many regulations that would
probably be for their benefit. We often
see evils that we long to rectify with the
dictator's power. But that is not our
way. We live under a majority rule. We
must do what we can.

One Lives, The Other Died,

A woman formerly our slave is now our cook.
About eighteen mouths'ago she became sickly
and had a cough and was confnedto bed and it
was thought that she had consumption. The
treatment by physicians failed to give relief. In
December, 1884 a node or knot the size of a
goose egg formed just above the pit of the stom-
ach, which when laneed discharged matter for
s or months. One of these also formed under
her arm, and three on her back, which dlscharg-
ed matter for a considerable time. For six
months of this time she was confined to the
house. and most of the time in bed The stom-
ach often refused food by rejecting what she
had eaten. She used great deal of medicine,
but failed to be cured. bought one bottle OF
your B. B, B. (made in Atlanta Ga,) and gave it
/ to her and she commenced to improve. then
bought and gave her three bottles more, and she
continued to improve and in two months time
her cough had ceased, her constitution strength
ened, appetite and digestion good, all discharges
ceased, nodes or knots disappeared and she
went to work apparently healthy aud fatteneC

This woman had a married sister of near sam
age who was affected in precisely the same wa,
and about the same time. She had node or kno
