Sullivan, ILL.,, March 31st.-Mrs. Kitty
+. Seaney was very i'll for months and
Notwithstanding the best possible med
ical attendance she got no better. The
doctors said she had Bright's Disease,
and gave her little or no hope of ever
being well again.
She suffered great pain in her back,
which nothing seemed able to relieve,
till at last encouraged by the reputa-
ton Dodd's Kidney Pills have attained
in the community as a cure for Kidney
Diseases she began to use them.
The result was a surprise both to
Mrs. Seaney and the physicians, for
soon after the treatment was com
menced her kidneys threw off large
quantities of dark diseased matter and
she improved rapidly. She used in all
ten boxes. and has completely recoV-
cred good health without pain or symp-
toms of the Bright's Disease.

been paid off, and a convenient farm
wagon loaded with melons happened
to pass as they filed along and the
darkies all bought, relates writer

One young buck, after hugging
that melon for several blocks, lust

change of countenance exhibited by
that darby. One moment his eyes
5uIged, his mouth distorted, his teeth
rlistened. and his face fairly glowed
with pleasurable expectancy, and in
the twinkling of an eye, when the
parted halves of that unripe and
white-seeded melon fell from his pal

FAMOUS NEW YORK WEDDING.
Called the ''DiamOnd Wedding" and
Was the Most Sensational Ever
Performed in That City.

Perhaps the most sensational cere-
mony of marriage that has ever
been performed in New York was the
one known everywhere in the United
States as the Diamond Wedding"
1t was the union of daughter Of
Lieut.. BARTLETT, of the United States
navy, to Cuban gentleman of great
wealth, Don Estaban Santa Cruz de
Oviedo, says Ladies' Home Journal.
As generous as he was opulent, Owl
edo layished upon the bride more
than 100000 worth of pearls and
diamonds. The nuptial rites wera
solemnized by Archbishop Hughes,
Stedman commemorated the event
in a poem, and moralists pointed to
it as an extraordinary instance OF
the evils of splendor and luxury that
were corrupting American society.
So great was the curiosity to witness
this wedding that probably for the
first time on such an occasion cards
of admission were issued TO the
church. A squad of policemen was
required simply to protect the bride
and groom from strangers who
rushed after them. The magnificent
nuptials, it may be remarked, had a
melancholy sequel; the bridegroom
soon died; his widow. under the Span
ish laws, was entitled only to the
right of dover, and all the gifts
which he had showered upon her
were taken away from her on the
ground that legally they were heir
looms.
