the international committee of this country and Canada. who are quite likely to hold 6 meeting in London immediately after the sessions of the convention. Delegates will attend from the United States, Canada, India, and from the European continent It is an nounced that fsmatters of vital interest to Sunday school workers will be discussed" !" Greater unity and method in Sunday school workers have been helpful results of these gatherings, the first of which was held in London twenty-six years ago.
 It is nearly seventeen years since the adop- ton of the project for the gradual emanoipa- tion of the Brazilian slaves, whose number was then given as nearly 1,500, ,000, but the operation of that project was not according to the desire of the emperor, who, when he visited this country in 1876, was favorably impressed with the results of negro liberation in our Southern States. Three years ago he hasten the progress of emancipation; but when he realized that even this would con- dnue the existence of slavery beyond his life- time, he became impatient to secure a law which would put an end to the system during his reign While he was absent in Europe, from which he has but recently returned, the desired measure was adopted by the Brazilian Parliament, and, with the gathering of this years coffee crop, all the slaves of Brazil are entitled to freedom. The shareholders re- ceive no compensation for the loss of their chattels.
 Ttharo o-o T1o0p1a in EnoIond vyho 6n mt believe in free trade, and newspaper, the London Fair Trade, is an advocate of their ideas. The melancholy death of an old Sheffield grinder named Thomas Howard furnishes text upon which this paper re. marks as follows: For eight hours 8 day Howard has 1abored at the wheel, grinding and glazing pen blades at the rate of one shilling for every fourteen dozen blades: By sticking closely to his work the poor fel- low, who was over sixty years of age, was able to earn nine shillings per week. From that miserable sum there was deducted half 8 crown per week for "wheel rent" and eighteen pence per week for t'stones and other tools." From the remaining five shil- lings he had to pay one shilling per week for the 'thut" in which he dragged out a bare existence until fit of apoplexy put an end to his troubles at time when he was following his usual occupation at the wheel. It is said that Howard worked for "sweat- er." It matters little for whom he worked; 1t is evident that he has been sacrificed for the craze for 'cheapness" which means sls- very. Nine shillings per week for grinding and glazing pen blades in this stglorious era" of free imports! No such miserable pittances as nine shillings per week for such work were known when England protected her home industries against the cheap and bad material which the Germans convert in- to what is called sscutlery."

THE PRoHIRI ZION FoLLEY.

THE PR0HIBI ZION FOLEY.
 Four years ago William P. Crooks of Jer- sey City was an effective supporter of St.
 John, but this year he will support Harrison
 and Morton. He has been savagely attacked
 for changing his position, and has given in answer to the attack some excellent reasons for his change.
 MT. Crooks says that five years ago when object was to compel the Republican party, through 1.-the discipline of defeat" to suitably
 recognize the temperance element in that party. This object, Mir. Crooks says, has been accomplished, as the temperance 1egis- l lation in many Republican States attests. But now, he says, t'the avowed object of the prohibition party is to destroy the Repub- lican party, an object with which I cannot sympathize. Having been a temperance man I for more than sixteen years cannot consci- cautiously vote for the overthrow of the only party that has given, or will give, us genuine | temperance legislation"
 The very plain insincerity of the prohibi- ! tionists of New Jersey is pointed out by Mir. Crooks. When the high license and local option law, the strongest temperance meas l ure ever passed in New Jersey, was before the governor for his signature, the apostles of prohibition worked hand in hand with the ! liquor dealers association to induce the gov- ernor to veto the bill. Mir. Crooks says: I further impeach these same party leaders for ] insincsrity on the ground of their animosity l to the Republican party, while they give aid and comfort to the Democratic party-s party which is recognized as the champion, and at the same time the ever pliant and servile tool of the rum power. I therefore refuse to place confidence in the sincerity of the political prohibition party for the 1 same reason that would refuse to place con- Gdence in the pious professions of a minister ] of the gospel who would essay to promote l the success of his church by entering into close league with the prince of the powers of 1 the air. To my knowledge many temperance organizations that were doing geod work I were all but killed because of unwise advice ! received and accepted from leaders of the po-
 litical prohibition party.
 This is plain talk, and is applicable to the
 situation in Connecticut as in New Jersey. The fact is that the political prohibitionists
 everywhere are very inconsistent, and their attacks upon the Republican party are very | foolish.

Paris Despatch to London Telegraph
 The career of Charles Cros, who has just died in Paris, would be eminently worthy of long notice in a bioraphical dictionary of "Queer Parisians." He was nearly every thing-rhymer, chemist, fiddler and buffoon. He touched every subject from politics to potatoes, and from the calculus to caulifow- CTS. He was learned teacher of Hebrew and Sanscrit, an inventor who described the phonograph twelve months before Edison took ont his patent for the instrument, poet some of whose work were Crowned" by the Academy, and the author of the stHareng Saur'' or sPickled Herring" with which M. Coquelin the younger has caused the well l-breds Parisians of the drawing rooms, as we'll g less starched and less conventional public of concerts or other popular entertainments, to go into frequent fits of convu1sive eachinna- tion. M. Cros was, in fact the founder of the Modern Monologue. and M. Coquelin jr., is | his inmitable interpreter. Another compos Ition of RI. Cros's 'sLe Bilboquet,n which tc | the serious general reader seems tissue of ab. solute nonsense and the most Rrotesqus buffoonery, made an audience of Acaderni, clans and learned professors at the LYee.

In Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Father Sheedy has opened his parochial school in four rooms of one of the public school houses, rented to him by the ward school board, the members of which are Catholics. Each room has fifty pupils and is in charge of nun, while the public school in the same building has only ffty-four pupils in, all. The principal and assistants in the public school are all Catholics, but this did not satisfy Father
 Sheedy, who had determined upon the entire
 separation of his flock from the public school \ system.

A Snake struck by Lightning. TFron, the Philada1phia Times-l

Dnring the thunderstorm that visited Gre scoville the other day maple tree in front of Miner Creaco's residence was struck by lightning. The only damage done to the tree was the chipping of piece out of trunk, as if 1t had been done with an axe, about mid way between the ground and the lower branches. After the storm was over Mir. Cresco went to look at the tree. On the ground at the foot of the tree lay an immense blaek-snake dead holding in its mouth 8 young robin. There was 8 robin's pest in the tree and it was known to have had three young ones it the day before. A boy climbed the tree and found two young robins in the nest alive and lively. It is supposed that the black-snake had climbed the tree and robbed the nest of of the newly-hatched birds and was descending the trunk as 1t was struck by lightning and was killed with it's prey it's mouth

Louis le Grand nearly burst their sides with cheerful and dyspepsia -dispelling merriment. Another temporary pursuit of Gros's was the the education and entertainment of deaf mutes. He made them merry by the amaz- ing eontortions of his mobile face and spoke to them on his fingers as no other teacher could. His bronzed features were like those of an Hungarian gypsy, and with all his tall ents and versatility, Cros remained an un- prosperous Bohemian to the last.s

English business men who have to send
 large quantities of mail matter to distant parts of the world find that they can save a great deal of money by sending their mail in bulk to Belgium and posting 1t there, the
 rates being so much cheaper. It is said that the saving to one firm alone by this course amounts to $3,000 year, and there is 8 loud demand for reform in the British rates.

WATER-C REsS.
1t should Grow in Every Brock
and BY Every Spring.

and by Every Spring.
Mr.. John T. Blackburn Of Vashon
writes to the PosT-ISTELLIGEScEE rs
follo1sI
I have often wondered 10 myself.
when passing the beautiful spring
streams that abound in Western
Washington, not 10 see growing IN
some of them at least water-cress. IL
Is undoubtedly one OF the very best
salads. 1t il claimed to be land not
without foundation) one OF the bet
blood purifiers of all the families OF
salads, i. e., in countries where ii IS
grown and used. ] have lived in the
United States over II years and have
visited a number of cities, but have
never vet seen water-cress on the mar
ket. We have half dozen streams
growing il niceiv on VashOn island,
and it is a noticeable fact that the
American-born citizen can and does
eat it and appear to e. Joy 1t just IA
much as the Engiish-bOrn. In this
mild and beautiful climate it can be
gathered nearly all the year.
Water-cress does not care " live IN
a muddy, stagnant pool, its home IS
in the pure running stream, such as
thousands that course their way down
TO the Sound and rivers.
II is very easy To propagate either
from seed or plant. The seed does
not require TO he sowed each year and
cultivated like our garden salads, nut
when once started il is there until the
stream dries or 1t is taken out.

PogT TOWNSEND, June Il, l>eSt
DR. J. Eugene Jordan-DEAR SIR:
write YOU this letter in gratitude Tor
curing me Of my many diseases With
your Histogenetic medicines / Was
taken down some six years ago WI q
severe rheumatism and lay for months
in he'd. unable to move. When able
to get out of bed | went TO Fulton
Wells in Southern California, where L
got 3 little better, and then coming
north again IN few months, was
faxed down with rheumatic paralysis.
/ went to the Marine hospital here at
Port Townsend. and lay in bed for two
months, but could get no relief. | was
sent TO san Francisco 10 the German
hospital, where | STAYED for IS months,
IL months of which l was unable TO
get out OF bed, having the best OF
doctors. who partly cured me, so
that | was able to leave the hospital
on crutches and go TO Byron hot
springs, where / got worse and
and had TO be packed on wagon TO
the station and taken back to the
German hospital again, where L
STAYED for two or three months.
When again able to travel ! went to
the Sandwich Islands by doctors adj
vice, and lived there for seven months,
but got worse, although having two
OF the best doctors on the islands. l
again came to San Francisco and the
German hospital, where | stopped
over a month. / then tried DIR.
Weldon of Twenty-third and Mission
streets, San Francisco, who had the
most powerful galvanic battery made.
He tried the battery on my legs
with full force, but could not feel it,
nv limbs being so dead but after a
weeks trial began to feel it. l was
with him for three or four months,
when l was able to come to Port
Townsend again; but still unable to
work. Last May, one year ago, L
was again taken down. unable to walk
or eat for u or Is days, and contlnu-
aIly vomiting. / was taken TO the
Sisters hospital, SEATTLE, where | and
nv friends expected me to die in a
week; but | was able to leave the
hospital in three months, boing able to
walk feebly with two canes. | then
heard of your wonderful cures with
your Histogenetic medicines. l con-
suited you and you told me you could
cure me. / took your medicines ac-
eording to directions. and in "a hours
| felt the effect. NV bowels grew
regular, which had not been for years;
also in one week | could walk with
out any canes and | felt a new man.
l took your medicines for three
months, but l think your medicines
cured me in less than one month.
Now. since | was first taken sick |
have had about 20 doctors to attend
me, but have got more relief from
your Histogenetic medicines than all
the medicines | have tried. | am
now entirely recovered and it's more
than year, too, and | stay so.
Now, doctor, if you think my case is
worthy of the newspaper. please in
sert, as / should like other unfortu-
mates to gain by using your medi-
cines.
There are hundreds of people here
and all around this Sound who can
testify to the above statement.

SEATTLE, NOV. u, 1888.
Some eight months ago | was taken
sick with what my doctor pronounced
bilious fever, and instead of recover
ing became very complicated. | had
constant attacks of chillS, which would
be followed by intense, consuming and
delirious fever, and wind up in pro-
fuse perSpiration. | grew very weak;
could hardly stand up for few mo-
ments at a time without being ex-
hausted. Ny hands and feet were
swelled and the pain was so intense
that | could not stand my hand being
touched, and they gradually grew
stiff and helpless, so that | could not
button my clothes. And to add to all
the misery my mind became very
treacherous, SO at times | did unac-
countable things. My appetite was
almost gone; could not bear the
thought of meat. and lived on a little
bread and milk, Principally. saw
myself slipping away, and medicine
seemed TO have no effect on me. /
heard a great deal of good about DR..
Jordan, particularly from my neigh
Dor, Mr.. 5. Il. Stevens. whom he cured
Of paralysis OF two years standing, and
Mr.. Edens, who was almost dead with
wonderful cures. But | must admit
having been rai.ed to the old-school
idea, it was little difficult for me to
give up the idea for something so en-
tirelv new as new system. But in
speaking with my old friend DR.. Cal
houn OF La Conner, about it, he frank
" and honestly admitted to me that
DR. Jordan did perform cures where
the rest gave up as incurable, and he
thought that there was no getting
around fact. This more than any
thing else induced me to go to Seattle;
particularly as my doctor frankly adj
mitted that his skill was at an end. |
went to DR.. Jordan, and he told me
that he thought | would be sufficiently
recovered to go home in about two
weeks. In two weeks time | have
walked a mile without fatigue; eat
and drink like a well man; my
fever and chills and pains and
aches have vanished, and am
now going home happy man after
six months Of suffering. | take with
me the kindest sense OF graft ude for
the Histogenetic System of Medicine
and its author. ;. n. BEST.
