A Pleasant Picture.

A few days since, we strolled up Boutelle
Ave, Waterville, and dropped in upon a
pleasant home. The note of merry song,
and the buzz of conversation greeted us as
we crossed the threshold. A gentleman re-
ceived us cordially and conducted us through
the parlors and library where ladies' and
gentlemen we're conversing brightly, read
iug the papers, or listening to the singer at
the piano. Rarely have seen more pleas
ant picture. one that portrayed more solid
comfort. Truly, thought to myself, this
is happy company.
"Can it be possible l said, ''that these
persons are being treated for the opium
habit" "Other institutes, which 1 have
visited, resound with the cries of suffering
and pain, and the patients, when discharged,
are shattered in health and spirit
"True," said the physician, ''tfi- is the
only treatment in the world that cures the
drug habits without 81 ffering. The patients
experience no pain throughout the treat
ment, hardly losing sn hours sleep, and in
varisbly leave us strong and WE'LL"
Upon irqiiIy. we sscertsiped that the
Bellinger Remedy is by no means a new dis,
covery. Institutes have been established in
many of the western states, and thousands
of cases have been treated with univers 4l
success. Indeed, the company has snch
confidence in the unvsrying results of their
treatment, that they agree to effect 8 con-
plete cure, or to furnish treatment and
board free.
We left thi. true home, feeling that
the nineteenth century bad added AZ oth-r
to IFS many scientific achievem nts, thank.
ing God that thousands who have looked
despariDaiy for death as their only hope OF
relief, would here find new life and strength.

WALLS COLLAPSED.
Brick Tenement at Memphis
FaIIS--four Lives Lost.
Others Injured and Feared That
More Bodies Are in Ruins.
A Terrible Sight Tor specsators-Building
Was Not Thought Unsafe.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April S.--A tenemeI
building at tn, corner Of Desoto and Bese
streets, collapsed at 1.l5 this morning.
Four dead bodies and five irjured persons
are now at the hospital, having been taken
out of the debris. No doubt there are more
bodies beneath the pile of ruins.
The collapse vas wi,no ssed by several
p rsons outside, and several inside survive
to relate what little they know of this, one
of the most appalling disasters that ever
occurred in Memphi4.
There was a c'eaking and cracking and
swayirg of the walls, then a COLLAPSE with
crash. A great cloud of dust ioated out
upon the air, filling the streets each for n
block. There was hurrying forward of
the police, firemen and citizens, and the
work of rescue began. All the persons
taken from the ruiled building are colored.
The building was erected "a years ago,
was of brick, 3 l2 stories hiah, with a slate
roof. 1t was all one buliiDg, but was
divided by thick wall into two compart-
ments. 1t had never been condemned as
unsafe, and was considered one of the
staunchest old buildings in the city.
The scenes attending the rescue were
horrifying in the extreme. The dead bodies
we're found all badly crushe', flesh torn
and mutilated and some of them almost
nude. Half an hour after the collapse oc-
Cured, the news had travelled over the en-
tire city, and crowd gathered at the scene
until Beale and Desoto streets in the vcin-
ity we're packed.
Time for church services came and went,
but sill the crowd remained. As each
corpse was lifted out, a groan would up up.
When darkness set in a large gathering Ic-
NAMED, and boys and men stepped over the
ruins to try to find sny corpse that the
labors might have overlooked during the
day.
Work on IT, d abris began rs soon ms the
collapse took place. The fret old negro
woman shook the dust from her back,
arc ,e from the top of the heap and g.
away without assistance. Then womans
form was lifted out, still alive, and soon the
body Of man, still breathing, was pulled
out. These were sent to the City hospital.
Then came corpse and So the work of
rescue proceeded slowly.
The exact number of lives lost will not
be known until the debris is cleared away.
There were about 80 rooms in the teDe-
ment, half of which were occupied. Twenty
two people we're known to he in the build
irg at the time of the collapse. OF the C
six escaped without s rious injury, tour
were taken out alive and We wounded, aud
the remainder is missing.
