a well-known lady of Appleton, Mimi,
this city, had for some time past been
a SUFFERER from this complaint. and
that she had found a remedy which
not only gave almost immediate relief.
but which effected a complete cure
and believing that the dissemination of
a few facts regarding it would perhaps
be of interest and benefit to MANY of
our readers, interviewed the lady upon
the matter. The reporter found Mrs,
Marshall at her pleasant home busiIy

A Tragedy at the Altar

A singular incident is reported from Chras-
tian, Bohemia. A loving pair were in church
to be united for life. While the priest pro-
nounced the nuptial blessings one of the can
dies on the altar suddenly went out. This
according to popular tradition, heraids the
advent of some great misfortune. The Young
beautiful, and, just before, a so-supremeIy
happy bride, uttered heartrending cry and
fell senseless into the arms of her distressed
lover. she died a few minutes after, still
enveloped in her bridal veil.

Two things are quite clear OF every

were a race much superior to the
Bantr tribes, whose mud huts are now
TO be found not far from these strong

were either the work of that same
