The horrors and frightful sufferings ex- perienced from nervousness and nervous complaints are too terrible to be expressed in words. Nothing can describe the agony Ehich fills the mind of such persons They have lost control of their nerves. and with 1t have gone the strength. power and vigor of the system. We'll may their cheeks blanch. and well may they trembls for their lives and their reason. Every strain on those weakened nerves. every hour that elides silently by is a step toward insanity. paralysis or the grave. An unh.eded opportunity for cure. and then brain exhaustion. nervous prostration or death.
 One of the greatest of these snffert Is was the well-known Miss Jessie McVey. residing at Irvington Ind. She found a treasur. of priceless value in the only positive cure, the only sure saver of health. Read her own description of her horr be suffering and wonderful cure.

 ''I have also been troubled with rheu- matism more or less for a long time. which grew worse after my nerves became weak. Of morning would feel more tired than when I went 10 bed. and on going up stairs I would gIye clear out by the time reached the top. and my heart would fiutter and feel as though it was up in my throat.
 My head also troubled me a great deal. My face would flush in a moment. and my eyes would burn and hurt, and my head would feel as though it would burst; at tho

THAT the democrats in congress are doing some hard thinking on the fnan- eial plan proposed by Secretary Carlisle and endorsed by President Cleveland Is shown by tneir reluctance to commit tho msslv.s at this time either for or against the proposed plan The shol tune at their disposal will. of course, in- erase the chances against the adoption of such comprehensive financial measure, although there is disposition on the part of the southern democrats to try to pass a bill enbodying that part of the plan that providss for the exemption of the cur reney of such state banks as may adopt the regulations provided from federal taxa lion. President Cleveland says he con- siders the plan proposed by Sec. etary Car iisle as the most stAtesmanlIke financial document ever submitted to congress, and that he proposes to stand by it to the end of his term.

 A serious blunder occurred in a West Virginia county not long ago. 4 num- Der of the farmers had sustained losses of sheep from their respective focks. and being skeptical as to the efficiency of the law officers one night took the matter in their own hands A dozen or more of them proceeded some miles away to the house of Rehoboth Jem- son. and notwithstanding his protesta- tions of innocence gave him a severe drubbing.
 The affair created no little stir, as Rehoboth was n very respectable colored man who owned q snug little farm end was a deacon in the Baptist church He had the confidence and esteem of his white neighbors. who were so worked up over the matter that they considered tho expediency of an investigation that should lead 10 the punishment of the raiding party.
 Within q few days the farmers dis covered they had made m awkward mistake, the guilty party having been caught red handed and had made a full confession, so being in the main q right good set of fellows they decided to offer balm to Rehoboth for his many wounds Three of their number were designated a committee. with full powers to net. and they hastened to the discharge of their duty. Old Rehoboth was sitting in his neat little cabin. with handaged head. while his wife was applying n cooling wash to his laceratei hack. The committee looked foolish and scarcely knew how to begin, but finally one of the number stammered out m apology and added that they were willing 10 pay a reasonable amount as recompense for his sufTerings.

The great mind that conceived the cutting of water pathway through the strip of land lying between the Mediterranean and Red seas that the Suez canal might connect these waters lies in eternal rest in the chateau of Lachenaie. near Natan, in the department of llndie.
