Chronic DYsenterY.

Mr.. lanes Brannan, Second avenue,
Pittsburgh, Pa, writes q" For two years
l have been constantly troubled with
chronic diarrhea, or dysentery, having
had, on an average, from twenty to
twenty-five passages every twenty-four
hours, and every one bloody. 1 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 l left it much
better, vet in five days l was as bad as
ever. then tried two other great doc
tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me 1 was not long for this world,
and advised me to write to my friends
about it. | next went to DIR. 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 l am
still taking his PRRUNA. / will take it
whenever need medicine.
Mr. Patrick Burns, Pittsburgh, writes

chronic diarrhea. ! 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 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

matter from the parts, and sometimes
from the contents of the bowels through
it. / could not have borne it much

effects of knife operation that resolved
to go to DIR. Hartman. He ridiculed the

SOME OTHER DAY.

of all the words that grown folks say, :,
The saddest are these, some Other Day
So easily, carelessly often SAID,
But to childish ears they are Words el
dread,
tn hone a knell, and to wish doom,
A frost on sxpectancy's tender bloom;
For aven the bsby who scarce can crawl
Knows a promise like that is no promise
at all.
Is that mockiDg mirage Some Other
Day."
The years fit by, and wishes fade,
And youth in the grave of age is laid,
And the child who bent his youthful will
Is child no more, but is waiting still,
For the pleasure deferred, the left-out
game,
Though it come at last,is never the same /;
The bubble has died on the mantling cup,
The draught is duh as we drink it up,
And old hopes laugh at US as We say,
AT last it has come, that other day.
All! little hearts which beat and fret
Against the bounds by patience set,
Yours is but universal fate.
And the old as the young all have TO
wait.
You will learn, like US, to be stout in
pain,
And to cry when your wishes prove
vain,
And that strength grows from thwart-
ed will,
And that service is done by standing
still,
And so bravely look up into heaven and
say, :,
II shall 6nd it all there, some other day" {"

VIEWS ON WOOL.
The Outlook Discoursgiag-A Dealer
and a Grower.

"What is the outlook for wool this sea
son ?" asked an Intelligencer reporter OF
Mr.. Morris Herkheimer, of Horkheimer
Bros, a firm that deals as extensively IN
the great staple as any firm in this sec
tion.
"The outlook has not been as discour-
aging for years as it is now. Prices are
very much depressed, and. judging from
all indications, they are going to remain
that way for some time to come. Our
advices from Eastern correspondents are
all to the effect that the market is dull
-duller than it has been for long time,
and they can see no change for the bet
ter for US in the near future. This state
of affairs is due partly to the tariff agir
tation that has been and is going on;
such an agitation is bound to effect all
business, but more especially such an in
dustry as wool growing is in this coun-
try. The great reason, however, for the
present depression, is the cheapness with
which goods are being imported into this
country; woolens, worsteds and other
goods are coming in at prices that com
pletely defy competition"
How are prices ranging now?"
81 wouldn't pay over 2S cents for the
best washed fine fleece, sn0 for tub
washed 1 would not pay over 80 cents
for the very best. A few days since we
purchased at auction up in Washington
county, Pa, 10000 pounds of as fac wool
as ever came out Uf that county for 26115
cents, and there were large number of
buyers present to make the bidding live
ly. The wool belonged to an estate that
was being settled, and between five and
six years ago the same wool was pur-
chased at auction for SO cents. The pur-
chaser was afterwards offered 80 cents
for it, but refused the offer, expecting at
that time to see wool go up to go cents.
A GROWERS VIEW.
Col. E. NJ. Atkinson, of Ohio county,
who has had a large experience as wool
buyer. remarked yesterday that he ex>
pected to see wool open this season at

TINES CHANGES.

The little birds in the branches
Sing while the days are long,
And The sunbeams round them liDger
As they pour their hearts in song.
(Lie still, my heart,
While the tear-drops start.
And listen to their song.)
They sing Of JOY and gladness,
They sing of love and peace,
OF Joy that knows DO sorrow,
or love that ne'er shall cease.
Iie still my heart,
While the tear-drOps start,
Who told thee it could eease?)
But summer days are passing,
As all earth's pleasures will;
And off the dreary moorlands
The wind blows cold and chill.
(Lie still, my heart,
While the tear-drOps start;
Thou, too, hath felt its chilly
The little birds in the branches
Have husbed their songs and fled;
The snow lies deep DER the meadows
And the summer, blithe, is dead.
(Beat fast, my heart.
While the tear-drops start;
Thy summer too. is dead.l

ANTIQUITIES FROM FLINT JACK.
A Man Who Made His Living Manufactur-
ing Ancient Urns and Arrow Heads.

ing ancient L rms ana Arrow heAOs-
Flint Jack was born in 1915 near Whitby,
in Yorkshire, England His real name ap-
pears to have been Edward Simpson, though
be went at one time under the name OF
Cockney Bill, and is known to fame chiefly
through his exploits under the sobrlquet OF
Flint Jack Some of his early years he
spent as servant or assistant TO a gentleman
engaged in geological pursuits, and he
appeass to have been known at that time as
Fossil Willy While engaged in this SER
vice he learned the value placed by col
lectors upon relics of ancient people In
lS43 he saw a Britirh flint arrowhead, and
q successful attempt to copy 1t seems to
have been the turning point to his career.
From that time forth he never looked for
antiquities To search for them involved
arduous labor, often fruitless; to manutact-
ure them he found to be easy and certain
So be turned out arrow-heads, urns, beads,
seals and antiques of any kind which he
could reasonably expect to palm of as gen
uine. He rose above aTrow-heads and IN
dulged in ancient pottery. Once he sue
ceeded in selling very curious antique urn
to a collector By some mishap the urn
was shattered and the fragments were given
back TO Jack TO take away and mend In
whole again The purchaser afterward
found that portion of the broken urn had
not been given to Jack. He was amazed
to discover tnat notwithstanding this Jack
had completely restored the urn.
Once, it is related, he got large sum for
an ancient breast-plate which he had fash
ioned from an old tea-tray which he had
picked up in his travels Another exploit
was the production of a Roman milestone
at a time when such relic was sure to COM
mand good price. Then he produced
stone from the bottom of some stream hav-
ing an odd and antique looking inscription
He used to bury his antiquaries and bring
them to the surface as o G.-sion arose. Jack,
when squarely cornerei woull admit that
the article he offered for sale was only
duplicate" and then talk his customer into
buying it as copy of an antique Latterly
he freely admitted his frauds, and seemed
quite proud of his skill He was publicly
introduced at a meeting of geologists in
London in 1862, and gave an exhibition OF
his skill in initiating flint objects-Dr.
Charles Rau in Washington Star.
