THE MEAcHER GUARDS.
The Excursion to the Island and the
Departure for Home.

The Meagher Guards, and their hosts, the
Montgomery Guards, fell into line yesterday
morning ON Union street, about II o'clock,
and headed by Reeves's Band marched to
Custom House wharf, where they took the
Forest Queen for Long Island. The sail
down was enlivened with fine music by the
band, and the military and their guests en-
joyed the sweet strains, together with the
fine sceneryof Casco Bay.
AT Long Island, Fletcher & Llttlefield fur
nished splendid bake, and they have rea-
SON to be proud of it, for they had good crit
les in the Rhode Islanders who knew as
much about clans, if not more, than Port
landers. Reeves's Band played for two SOL
Id hours to the delectation of their listeners
The Meaghers' gave their skirmish drill in
fine shape, having taken blank cartridges to
the island with them for the purpose. There
were games of base ball, target shooting
and general good time.
AT 4.15 p. m. the two commands reacht d
the city, and marched up Pearl and Middle
streets to the Falmouth, where they left
their guests, and thence to the United States
Hotel where the Meagher Guards were
quartered. Then the Montgomerys returned
to their armory
The honoraries of the Meagher Guards as
sembled in the parlor of the Falmouth Hotel
and subscribed a handsome purse for the
purchase of an elegant gold watch, which
will be presented to Capt. Hackettlof the
Guards, tonight, at the armory in Providence
After supper the line was reformed, and
the companies marched to the Boston boat,
where the Guards left for home amidst the
cheers of the Montgomerys and music by
the band. A brilliant display Of colored fire
was made along the route to the boat.
City Editor Day, of the Providence Jour
nal, telegraphs that paper:
"The Montgomerys, active and veteran
tion and entertainment Of their guests. The
weather was all that could be desired" and
speaking of the parade, he says: The gen.
eral appearance of the column was admira-
Bile and soldierly, the Portland companies
arrayed in their full dress uniforms, and
marching with steadiness and uniform align
ment, while music by the American Band, as
usual, was greatly admired; and the Meagh-
ers commanded critical inspection by their
dignified and martial bearing, and the pre-
cisi0n and accuracy of their marching evolu-
tions and performance of the manual in mo-
ton. They were generously applauded at
frequent intervals, and sustained their high
reputation as well-disciplined and we'll
drilled organization"

She Was Cured by Drs. Smith and
McMulIen.

Little Mary, daughter of William Bruce, is sew
en- years Of age, and was taken last January with
spasms. The spasms came on at first whenever
she fell asleep During the night she would be
seized with violent commissions. The arms and
legs would straighten out and become stiff and
rigid. Then they would contract and be drawn
tight to the body. Her eyes were wide open dur
ing spasm and turned upwards and outwards,
presenting most frightful appearance. As often
as every hour during the night, or whenever she
fell asleep, her poor little body was warped and
twisted into all manner of shapes by these terri
bic commissions. Her mouth was filled with
saliva, which caused constant drooling, that
kept the clothing over her breast saturated from
morning till night. After she had suffered in this
manner for period of six weeks she lost the use
of her right arm. One week later her left arm
and both legs became paralyzed and were power
less. She could neither move hand or foot and
was as helpless as an infant. She lay as helpless
as though she were dead. The most skillful ply
sicians were summoned, but were powerless to
even give her temporary relief. She remained in
this most pitiable condition until the fifth day Of
August, when her father carried her to Drs.
Smith and McMullen, the magnetic physicians, at
the United States Hotel, who gave her careful
examination. and undertook to cure her. She re-
ceived twenty magnetic treatments and was
cured. She has had no sign OF spasm for some
time and has perfect control of all of her limbs.
In short, she is well and happy. Her parents are
delighted and grateful, too, for what the Doctors
did for little Mary. Any person reading this
statement who may think it is not true, invited
to call on Drs Smith and McAIullen, at the United
States Hotel, and they viii give the exact post
office address of William Bruce. The Doctors are
regularly educated physicians and surgeons. II
there ia a Doubt Of IL in any persons mind call on
them and be convinced. They may be consulted
free Of charge at theirparors at the United States
Hotel, from a. m. until p. m. daily. II you are
sick go and see them. 1t will cost you nothing to
