THEY THAT WALK IN DARKNESS; Ghetto
Macmillan Company. Washington Brentano' 5.
Zangwill is a determined realist, but with
very narrow scope. There are many
readers who do not find in his renditions
OF Jewish life that literary modicum which
they seek. There are many others who
recognize the stroke of genius In the power
to portray the living emotions of race
with vast history, under modern condi-
lions. The gloomy note which has hereto
fore pervaded Zangwilrs works is DON'T

The assassination of Alhovine, king of the
Lombards, through the Vaccinations of his
revengeful wife, forms the basis of this
poetic tragedy. Mr. Swinburne clothes it
in a beautiful form. His material is repul-
medieval and Italian to be delectable to-
day, however fascinating may be the artis-
tic rendition.

The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of II demon within a man.
Any one who has had An attack of sciatic
or Infammatory rheumatism will agree
that the iutiiction is demoniac enough to
warrant the belief. 1t has never been
claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm
would cast out demons. but it will cure
rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony
to the truth of this statement. One abpli-
cation relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth many
times its cost. For sale by J. W. Kelly.

Taken to the ASYLUM.

r. H. Cowden, of Scott county,
was brought in over the Virginia and
Southwestern yesterday morning and
taken to Marion asylum on the after
noon train. Mr.. Cowden, who is very
insane, is n of Scott county's best
citizens, having held office in that
county for years. His insanity was
brought on by the sudden death of
two grandchildren lie had raised and
educated. Both young ladies died in
the same week., which loss drove him
to his present condition. He was at
one time deputy sheriff of Scott
county, and was twice elected sheriff
OF same county. 1t is hoped his in
is only temporary.-BnStol
