Almost Raised From the Dead.

Thomas Johnson writes us the recent
exposure gave him a terrible cold; the
cold, a bad cough, and the cough
gave him what his friends thought to
be consumption. He was INDUCED to
buy a bottle OF Symphyx, keeping his
bowels open with DR.. Harris Blood and
Liver Pills. He says in two weeks he
was nearly as well as ever and that he
considers himself as almost raised from
the dead.

beautiful trees, vines and flowers.

DeautiIul trees, vines and flowers.
 One building at South Coventry was particularly noticeable for its peculiar construction. A wall in front of the house increased in height as the road de- scended, until at the base it was very high. It enclosed an immense house, with very wide piazzas upstairs and upon the ground floor, supported with large old-fashioned pillars. Perhaps it was an old tavern; at any rate whatever it's or- igin or use, it presented very artistic appearance. A small summer house adorned one yard, built like a log cabin, rude in construction, which might be picture of the days of our forefathers, a veritable ''little old log cabin in the lane." Perhaps the most ludicrous feature ob- served was a conspicuous sign attached to tree in the front yard of a palatial house. It read thus: "Hunt and Fish All You Please. Grub Furnished if Nec- essary."
 There was only one thing to mar the pleasure of the drive. We looked in vain for watering trough, where we could re- fresh our steed, and only found one when near our destination. Why do not hu- mane people, for the benefit of those mo- ble animals that are so willing to serve them, construct more places on the high way, where tired horses can slack their thirst on warm day. When we put in petition for better roads let there be in- cluded plea for more watering troughs.

 The drive from Rockville to Williman- tic is very picturesque. Over the ''moun- tain" to Coventry you proceed, then to South Coventry. The roads are smooth and hard, and a constantly varying scene stretches before. You may proceed thro' woody glen, and over bridge spanning little stream that trickles over messy stones, bordered on each side with ferns.
 Immediately the scene is changed. A broad extensive sweep with cattle grazing, and an occasional farm house, far away among some trees appears Lake Wangum- baug with its pretty outskirts and minia- ture island as an attractive feature.

A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

Hutchins, of the New York Press Club, recently met a friend who walked lame, and who in reply to a question as to the cause, said,
 "Great Scott I'm all broken up with rheumatiz."
 "What have you tried for it ?'' asked Hutch, consolihgly.
 "Tried? Why, Pve tried everything" was the reply. "Ever try a horse-chestnut ?" "Horse-chestnut ! Fudge!' Well, my friend, ,'' replied Hutch, "you may say fudge if you will, but look at this." He drew shining hofse-ehestnlt from his pocket and added, as he held it out for inspection, live carried that nut or one like it for three years, and am willing to swear that during all that time never have felt the slightest twinge of rheumatism" "You don't tell mel" exclaimed the I man, as he seized the nut.
 ''But do tell you, and its the whole truth" The invalid, declaring that he was not superstitious, pushed the nut into his pocket, and was limping away when Hutch called out: | "Oh! by the way, there is one thing forgot to tell you. Now, before took ! to carrying orse-chestnuts-"
 "You had the rheumatism purity bad, eh ?" interrupted the invalid.
 'No," replied Hutch, as he hurried off, | "I never had it in my life '"

A MILITARY VIEW OF IT.

One of the most interesting articles thus far called out by the affair of Private Iams's thumbs appears in the current is- sue of the Army and Navy Journal. The natural presumption is that it reflects the who look at the occttifrr1 r1ii44espla ar army men, professional point of view.
 The writer admits that Lieutenant Colonel Streator's course in tying Iams up may be criticised on technical grounds, but insists that it was Ia prompt and soldierly recognition of the necessity for taking vigorous measures to enforce dis cipline in an emergency"
 He recalls the case of Admiral (then Captain) David Ammen, who shot down | two men on the deck of a Pacific Mail l steamer when they had crossed a line | which he had forbidden them to cross. | The well-aimed shots quelled mutiny, and court of inquiry commended l Ammen's firmness and promptitude. He recalls also the case of an army officer who found himself at lonely frontier post with an incipient mutiny on his hands. He summoned the ringleader to his tent, ordered him to take his hat off, and, on his refusal, shot him down in his ! tracks. That, we are left to infer, put an end to the insubordination.
 In it's nature and purpose, the Army and Navy Journal continues, Iams' act
 was distinctly an act of mutiny at time
 when the troops were under arms, and as
 such was justly punishable with death.
 Possibly some other other punishment
 than the one actually inflicted might have been found. Butt
 | That the occasion called for punish
 ment prompt and decisive there can be : no question. Why then should so much sympathy be bestowed upon this worth less guardsman, and so little considera-
 tion shown an officer who displayed so
 just a conception of the responsibilities of command? He was on the ground and best understood the emergency. It is | easy to criticise the precise method adopt
 ed by him to enforce discipline, and each of experience will have his own opinion ), as to whether a better might not have l. been found But however the civil courts h may deal with him for this, let every
 soldier send him his commendation anC greeting for his prompt recognition @ of the broad principle of responsibility e in command. We fear that we shal s have full need of it ere long, for the signs | of the times are ominous.

 against any knocking under to public
 sentiment that would subvert the whole ;. theory of military subordination and duty | thn off If thu n army to strengthen the hands of theil = brethren of the national guard by express

Profession versus Rusiness.

A friend of mine, 8 physician, did a rich manufacturer 8 vast service in the way of his profession. When the obliged man asked for his account he requested a deduction for prompt payment, and this being declined, grumbled over the amount. The doctor was immovable. "You are at liberty" he said, ito pay nothing or all" But this is business, 2 all wered the other; ''why not discuss it like any other businesst' II am not a business man, said my friend; Il be- long to a profession. I sell that which no man can weigh or measure"
 Finally the bill was paid, and then the manufacturer, suddenly changing his tone, said, Well, now that the business iscompleted, is l should like you to accept this as a slight proof of our gratitude. ]" It was check for thrice the amount of the debt. The doctor said, No; never allow man to oyerpay me-" The next day the check was sent to q hospital in which the physician was interested Dr. Weir Mitchell in Century.

An Expensive Dining Room.

 "Never mind the cost, said the states man. Il know it will be large, but you do the work and will pay. you for it. <"
 "Yes, 1 know you will persisted the man; but think you had better know just what you will bc expected to pay. That room at Granercy park brought me $50,000.'

The latest advertising swindle, now go- ing the rounds of the papers, is one in
 which the advertiser propounds some easy
 question, not worthy the name of puzzle,
 and promises to the first person sending
 areply valuable present, usually in cash; to the second, third, fourth, and so on, sending correct answers lesser prizes are
 offered. The point of the swindle is the Stipulation that every answer must be ac-
 companied by cash remittance to pay for ssone years subscription to our valua-
 ble home journal" The money flows in from these advertisements in large sums, but nobody ever hears of the award of the prizes. Of course it would be impos- ssible to award the prizes with any fair ness because hundreds of first answers mailed at the same time follow the first insertion of the advertisement. But it is not probable the originators of the scheme
 have any idea of giving prizes. It is a
 bare-faced swindle and no intelligent per- son will be caught by it.
