The LOST ATLANTIS.

For many centuries there has been
a tradition OF long lost island called
Atlantis.
The Greek geographers located it
in the Atlantic ocean, west of the
northwest part of Africa and the PHI
lars Of Hercules. The sya-kings CT
Atlantis are said to have invaded
Europe and Africa, and to have been
defeated by the Athenians.
All the legends agree that it was a
Vast island of inexhaustable resources,
and inhabited by a race of superior
people. For ages the island has ex-
listed only In legendary lore. But
now when the lighI of odern research
is turned full upon the investigation,
behold the lost Atlantis at our very
doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity
goes cropping about in the dark, seek
ing for an Atlantis or Esculapius
when, if they would investigit e. they
would behold the lost Atlantis at their
very door. With their ancient text
book, case of physic, a paper in
their wais,coat giving them license TO
practice, experiment and dose with
their injurious drugs, cauterize and
perform unnecessary acts, with no
person or laws TO hOll them account
ahle, they continue their bigoted. un-
justified practice, staring into vd-
caucy, anu imagine that they see in
themselves an Esculapius.
Wrapped 10 ancient bigotry, they
are crying out against all improve
ments that have been made In medi-
Cal science. They denounce any new
idea advanced by laymsn or an op-
position school as fraud.
Why I?
Because humanity will not be bene-
flied? Not at all, but because their
specialism did not make the discovery.
Yet they concede that there is no
remedy known To their ma'eris med
lea that will cure an advanced kidney
mslady and the disease arising there
from GROWING proof that Warmers
Safe Cure will but unscrupulously
treat symptoms and call them disease
when in reality, they know they are
but symptoms.
A lew of the more honest physi-
clans admit that Warmers Safe Cure
is available remedy and a great bles-
sing to mankind, but say, in 50 MANY
wores when asked why they do not
prescribe it, that they cannot, accord
ing to their code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast be-
coming satisfied that the cure for kid
ney aud liver diseases, in whatever
form or condition. has been discover
ed, and there is no doubt but what
Warmers Safe Cure and its fame will
live long after such b'gotry as we have
is dead and buried.
The late eminent physician and
writer, DR.. j. G. Holland, published
in "Scribner's Monthly and showed
his opinion of such bigotry, and no
donbt was satisfied that Atlantis might
possibly be discovered in proprietary
when he wrote editorially, |
as follows:
Nevertheless, it is fact that many |
Of the best proprietary medicines of
the day were more successful than |
many of the physicians, and most of
them. it should be remembered, were |
first discovered or used in actual med
cal practice. When, however, any
shrewd person, knowing their virtue,
and foreseeing their popularity, secures
and advertises them, then, in the opin-
on of the bigoted, all virtue went out
IF them"

In Buffers advance on the Peters
burg and Richmond railroad, 7th OF
May, line was carried along with the
column TO within sight OF that road,
and worked until Bcaurcgard struck us
at Drewry's Bluff, on the 10th, when
General Butler ordered his chief oper-
ator to bring tho line within the in
trenchments. In these trenches, one
night. Maynard Huyck was awakened
from sleep, not by the familiar voice of
his instrument, but by tho shrek OF a
Whitworth bolt, six pound steel shell,
which passed through the few clothes

an awakening cannonado until aroused
by the gently tick OF the telegraph re-
lay. We used no 'sounders" in those
days at the front.
In illustration OF the sensibility OF
hearing acquired by the military oper-
ators for this one sound, the writer may
be pardoned another personal incident.
AT Norfolk, on hpril, 1868, he happened
to be alone in charge OF the telegraph
when Longstreot with large force
laid siege TO Suffolk. In tho emer-
gency he remained on duty, without
sleep, for three days and nights. re-

ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION.
How Merchandise VIII Soon he Carried
In Great Cities,

III
The future possibilities OF electricity
as applied to locomotive purposes
make one fairly dazed with the impos-
sibility of grasping the subject. Much
has been said and written in regard TO
the application of electric power to
street railways for the transportation
of passengers, and this especial branch
of electric power has already devel-
oped into a great industry, the size of
which is appreciated by few. The ap-
plication of electric power to the trans
portation OF merchandise in our great
cities is as yet a terra incognita, though
its possibilities are even greater than
the street-railway service. An electric
street-car can, under skillful manage
ment, be operated cheaper than one
drawn by horses. 1t requires three
times the power to propel vehicle
over stone pavement that it does on
a rail or iron roadway. Horses can
not draw heavy loads on iron roadways
because of the difficulty of obtaining
sure footing. On an iron roadway an
electric locomotive can draw load for
less money than horses could draw the
same load on the best stone pavement.
The expenditure for carriage in the city
OF New York each year reaches the
enormous sum of 800. 100000.
At some future day, not far distant,
we hope, when the public are sufficient
ly aroused to the Importance of this
question, certain width OF our great
thoroughfares all over the city will be
given up to an. iron roadway on which
self-propelled electric vans may noise
lessly carry on the great traffic which
now offends our ears, wears out horse
flesh, and has been but little improved
up to the present time since the days
of the Caesars. In fact, we aver that
with our boasted improvements of the
nineteenth century it requires more
expenditure of horse-hesh to draw
ton of merchandise in the streets OF
New York than it did in Rome in the
early days Of the empire. Electrical

NEW PENSION RULING.
II Makes an Important Change In tn
Existing Laws.

Existing Laws.
Assistant Secretary Bussey has rem
dered an important decision on the
pension claim of Daniel b. Kaufman,
late OF Company A. Forty-eighth Regi-
ment Pennsylvania Volunteers, which
was brought before him on q motion
for reconsideration. In his decision
the Assistant Secretary rescinds Rule
No. 135 made by Commissioner Black
September 4, 1885, and overrules the
opinion of ex-Assistant Secretary Haw-
kins in the same case that "dishonor-
able discharge" from the service op-
crates as bar to pension" He holds
that n "dishonorable discharge" is a
penalty for specific offense against
the service for which the soldier NAV
be punished, but that the penalty can
not include nor relate to n claim for
pension based upon disability. The two
things are held to be wholly distinct
from each other, and are not governed
by the same legal consideration. Tho
Assistant Secretary holds that for the
to impose upon the soldier
the forfeiture OF the right to even claim
pension because OF dishonorable dis
charge, which may have been inflicted
by court-martial for an offense OF which
the court had jurisdiction, would be
equivalent to punishing the soldier
twice tor the same offense. Washing

through the leatless boughs of the entranced
trees her sobs rended the twilight air. Her
breast heaved like the billowy crcsts of

His quivering lips give token of the grief
he'd fain conceal, but into his outstretched
arms size falls and lies weeping upon his
breast us he presses her to his heart and
clings lovingly, but with awe, upon her eyes,
cheeks, mouth and neck. He rains down kiss

rows and the woeful fate upon her. All is
over. She is his, and he is hers. The spell
is broken as many spell has been broken

who gave her the glass diamonds is in the
