Uncle Eli Phillips, of Seward, was in town Monday, ana carries his eighty-five years as lightly as the best of ’em. From the number of well .preserved old people, who have lived in this part of the slate for so many, years, one would necessarily conclude that this has been a very healthy country. Uncle’ Eli does not need a cane to assist him in walking.

He has lived in the vicinity where he now resides, 58 years. Says the worst night he ever put over,, was in the woods where Ai now stands. Night, and the worst storm he ever ex­perienced, overtook him and two or three neighbors who had all been down at the Maumee fishing, and they had to stay out in the woods in the storm. The hardest night of his life was at Palmyra, Mich., where he had gone to mill and staid all night, sleeping on the brick floor of the mul office with nothing between him and the floor but the clothing, he wore.

A Serious Rnn-away.On Sunday morning David Berkeybile,

who lives on his farm two miles west of town, hitched to his family carriage as is bis custom, took in his family, and started to church at the German Baptist church near Batdorf. There were in the carriage Mr. and Mrs. Berkeybile, Jno. Berkeybile, their son, and his wife, of Toledo, tbelr son-in-law, Mr. McElmmy, and his wife, and three children. Mrs. Berkeybile bad one of the little children on her lap.When about half a mile north of Batdorf the team became frightened at a wheel­barrow where some boys were or had been gathering walnuts, and quickly shied off into the ditch. All the occupants were thrown out and more or less hurt. Mrs. Berkeybile in attempting to save tbe babe which she was holding, was thrown out in such a way that one of her limbs was broken above ihe ankle, the bone protru­ding through the skin some three or four inches. The babe was considerably bruised an* scratched atxAit the’face, Mrw Jno.. Berkeybile sustained a number of se­vere bruises about the hips «nd back and in fact all were bfiiised and bleeding when the Doctor arrived. Dr. Bishop was taken out and dressed the wounds of all, and left Mrs. Berkeybile as comfort­able as her condition would allow though she is bruised and sprained considerable aside from the fractured limb. The team became detached from the wagon after it was pret ty well used uj?, and ran on down to the place where they are usually hitched, where they stopped and stood very quiet.

Obituary.Eugene L. Brees was born In Fulton

Co., Ohio, Sept. 11, 1868, died Oct. 9,1891, aged 28 years, and 28 days. He was

ioined in marriage with Martha Collins, sov. 24, 1889, To this union was born one child. He embraced religion in tbe

winter of ’86, under the labors of tbe Rev. Tussing, joined tbe church of the United Brethren in Christ of which he was a member when he died. Thus we are * called upon to mourn tbe loss of another of our fellows, but wbile we mourn we do not mourn as those who have no hope, for he left evidence of bis being safe in the arms of Jesus. May tbe great grace ot our Lord keep the heart* and lives of those bereft, so that they may meet in •Heaven. Funeral services conducted by tbe writer, W. J . Stoy.

HONORING THE HERO.U N VEILING O F T H E GRANT

T ribute to th e D ead .Sunshine and rain warred fiercely and

unremittingly with cach other in Chi­cago to determine which would havo tho tfiastery when it came to unveil the Grant statue. And Phoebus won a dazzling victory, and all the people re­joiced. I t would havo been a bitter disappointment had i t been ordered etherwlse. The silken cord was gently pnlled by the fair hands ‘ of the daughter of Gen. William E. Strong,

and responsive to her timid action the white drapery was loosed from the figuro beneath It, fluttered a moment in tho breeze and fell, disclosing ip all the majestic calm of a heroic man sculptured in bronze by a m aster hand. For a mo­ment admiration held tho mnjtitudo

before he conld introduce the Bishop. Beverently th e last syllable was heard, and,, released from tbe first strain of eagerness the spectators leisurely awaited w hat was yet .to come—the speeches of presentation and accept­ance and Judge Gresham’s oration.

Twenty thousand men marched from the heart of the city to Lincoln Park. Twenty thousand more were willing to do so but th a t it would have made the parade too cumbersome. Soldiers and civilians, old warriors and young ones, knights w ithout end and societies with­out number, all anxious to do honor to the memory of the greatest military chieftain ot his age, m arched^n solemn procession. ' Many an old comrade of Qrant was there; m an ; a one who, though knowing him but slightly, had magnified th a t trivial acquaintance until it seemed to blossom forth to Intimate relationship and friend­ship. Memory knit those sturdy fellows with their god. I t was nothing to them th a t at any moment the heavens th rea t­ened to open and deluge them and trans­form their sober parade Into mincing steps for dry ground. They had splashed through many a country road and not felt half so proud. And when thoy drew up in front of the monument they were tho admired of all admirers.

From- the time the signal R un was fired until the ceremony was ended thero was much to chain the attention. Thero were many distinguished men on tho platform

Onco the statue was unveiled the exer­cises were hurried to completion, for the fear th at rain would mar the occasion haunted the Executive Commltteo. Mavor W ashburne accented the monu­m ent orfbefialf of the city after Edward S. Taylor, tor the Park Commissioners and tho M onument Association, had presented it. Lawyer William C. Goudy followed in the wake ot the Mayor, accepting the monument for the Park Trustees. "

And then came the turn of Judge W alter Q. GreBham, who in his oration honored Grant, honored the people and honored himself. The Judge was a close friend of the dead ftpro In his life­time,had his confidence and respect, and was charged with much more of either than mauy of those who valngioriously make capital out of their acquaintance­ship with tbe General. Gresham was a

Of melancholy th a t dimmed her mien of B tately pride. She "was Grant's widow, uncertain w hether to mourn anew or show her gratitude. Surrounded by her friends, she calmly surveyed the sd q e and resolutely stifled her thoughts as

rive their pleasure from the pursuitra th e r th a n th e possession of riche*. I t rem ark s: I t is safe to declare th a t th e problem of how to g e t r ic h engrosses th e a tte n tio n of one-th ird

best sne could. And the moment of bit­terness which may have flashed across her soul m ust also have been felt by her son, who s a t by her side.

Tho Michigan steamed slowly out of the basin and head d for Lincoln Park. She was followdfl by the J\ssenden and Andy Johnson, with several ex urslon steamers and tbe two Ureboats (ov. ring the rear. On board the cutters were many invited gu- sts, mainly wives of army officers in the parad . When the Michigan came abreast of the monum nt, 1,500 feet from the s a wail, the order to drop anchor was given. Th ■ c u t t r s formed the line, with a fircboat to north and south. f

J. 0. RORABECK, THE

T ru th W ill S tand.A good m an ; traditionary anecdotes are

still told by the people of Virginia of Jo- siah Allan, a Presbyterian minister, noted in the early days of this century for his eloquence, bis zeal and his love Of fun. Like many of the eminent preachers of his day, he travelled from place to place, and wherever he went his heaters were quick­ened to a more zealous faith fn Christ, and it must be added, a keener appreciation of jokes. On one occasion Mr. Allan arrived in the evening at a plantation in Fauquier county, where the attorney general of the state was also a guest. After supper this gentleman broached some of the infidel doctrines recently introduced into thii country from France, and"avowed his own disbelief in the New Testament, and de­clared that Christianity “had had its day , and was fast ldsing ground." Mr. Allan replied earnestly and the argumeflt con­tinued until bedtime. The house being crowded, the two gentlemen were obliged to occupy beds in tbe same room. TKeir voices in hot discussion was heard by tbe host until he iell asleep, and when he went .next morning to 'call them to breakfast he found them both sitting bolt upright in bed, still arguing, as they had been all night. Mr. Allan, when forced to leave, drew his host aside and said, " I could not sleep until 1 bad rooted out this poisen from his mind. I t will corrupt the whole country 1 I t will turn tbe nation against tho Savior.” No effort could restore him to his ordinary cheerfulness. He went away full of gloom and foreboding. There

iretty is a peculiar significance in this story just ’ laid, now. The attack upon the Christian re­

ligion made at that time was very similar to that which is urged at present by cer­tain magazine writers and others. It was sustained then, as it is not now, by many of the foremost statesmen and thinkers of the country, while the cause of^Christ was misrepresented by sectarian bigotry and ignorance. Yet the nation was not cor rupted nor turned from the Savior. The churches, the asylums, the hospitals and the peaceful, happy homes which cover the country now from sea to sea, are the outgrowth of'His. teachings; and honesty, freedom and brotherly love exist among us only because we have made Christani ty the basis of our national life. Many good men and women are alarmed to-dav by the assaults upon their faith, as Josiali Allan was then, but with as little cause. Such assaults are nothing new. They have been made for nineteen centuries. But Christianity calmly continues its progress throughout the world, unchecked by op­position; not only because it is founded upon historical facts, but because it con­tains within itself the only living divine truths known to the world, the faith, the purity and tbe virtue which make a man not a brute, but a Kin of God.

Experiments In Spraying.During tbe last season the Ohio Experi­

ment Station has made extensive experi­ments in spraying fruit trees and gives the following report of results:

The spraying not only reduces the injury to the fruit, but it largely increases the total crop. This is because the foliage on the sprayed trees remains healthy, while on the unsprayed trees it is diseased and unable to perform its functions. Further­more, the 6cabby fruits fail to develop to their normal size, because of the scab that is on them. The sprayed apples are fully 25 per cent, larger than tbo unsprayed, and are more highly colored. As might be expected, the sprayed apples sell for more than the unsprayed, there being a difference of fully 25 per cent, in favor of the former. This was found to be the case by an actual test in the market, the sprayed apples selling more rapidly at 50 cents per bushel than the unsprayed at 40 cents. This makes a total gain in favor of spraying of fully 50 per cent. The cost per tree for the season does not exceed 25 cents, while there is often a gain of one dollar or more, depending largely upon the variety, as some are much more sub­ject to scab than others. Spraying also prevents the premature falling of the leaves, which is one of tbe results of the scab, for it affects the leaf as well as the fruit,

Indian and Soldier Life on th e Fron*t ie r .—Thirty-six Inches of Snow.

Spe c ia l c o r r espo n d en c e t o t h e a t l a s .

Ft- Washakie, Wyo., Oct. 5, 1891.I will under! akc a brief description of

this valley and its surroundings. The valley is about four miles wide on an av­erage, and from thirty to thirty-five miles long.

On the west are high table lands, level and beautiful to look upon when you reach the top. These lands are worth very little-, an uo water can De got up there for irrigation purposes. There is some pas­tures, but it would require forty or fifty acres t# carry a steer or horse through the year.

Beyond these hills looms up the main range of the “ Rockies." A “ tenderfoot” looking that way would estimate the dis­tance to be five or six miles, when in fact it is sixteen miles to the summit, and it wonld require twp days’ hard travel to go to the summit and return to thefo o to f the mountain. The sdow never disappears entirely lrorn the, tops of these rugged peaks. All those long, hot days when you were swelting and miserable, I could turn my eyes to these mountains and see the eternal snow. ’

There is very few cloudy or stormy days in this country. Indeed one gets very tired of the bright sunshine . During the middle of the day old Sol beats down with force, and in the absence of perspiration—which cuts no figure is’ this dry atmosphere—it seems to have a scorching power, The nights are always cool and pleasant for sleeping.- Occasion­ally' without any warning, a strong wind strikes one, and seems to indicate the ap­proach of a storm, but it soon passes by and no storm follows. Sometimes the clouds 8rc threatening and a. little sprinkle falls, but nothing more.

One evening I was out about 8 o'clock and saw a beautiful s ig h t Looking to the west, there was plainly visible a pe% feet rainbow by moonlight. I t spannel the horizon but was not so bright as the raiubow seen in day-time.

In the spring there are heavy rain-falls, and about this time or a little later a heavy snowstorm is expected, after which sun­shine is the rule until January. Thirty- five inches of snow fell tyere during the late storm. Of course much of it melted as it fell, bi<t when it stopped snowing it was at least 18 inches deep on the level. Many people who a few d a /s ago had an attack of the mining fever, were caught on the mountains about 12,000 feet above sea level, or going and coming therefrom. Some of them slept out in the snow with nothing for themselves or horses to eat, and,no flre. Such conditions have a very cooling effect on those afflicted with the gold and silver fever here, and might tem­per down the financial lunatics o f the eas­tern and middle states. One of the stages got off the road and remained out all night. The one lady passenger displayed more pluck and endurance than the driver and male passengers. They all lived through it but did not look happy when they came in.

The sun is now shining bright and the snow is rapidly disappearing.

On tho north of the valley there is a range of hills, and at the foot flows the Wind River, with a fall ot eighty feet to the mile. The water is clear as crystal, and as It goes galloping down oven the stones it makes a beautiful picture. Water is drawn from this stream by irri­gating ditches, and anywhere in the val­ley people can have running through yards

valleywould not be a desirable place to live. The water thus available for comfort art pleasure, can also be made valuable for ii rigating fields of grain and vegetables. Properly handled, this water—with good cultivation—insures a heavy crop of oats nod vegetables. Wheat also does well. Occasionally au untimely frost results in loss. Aside from that a farmer who will cultivate 40 acres, keep a few cows and chickens, and cut a good crop of hay, can make several thousand dollars per an­num. *

It is the good “Hoihe Market” that en­ables him lo do this. If they depended upon the “ World’s Market," about which we somel lines hear, they would starve. Hay (wild) brings readily an average of $12 per ton, often bringing $20. Oats brings at from 2 to 5 cents per pound, wheat the *sme, potatoes from 3 to 5 cents per pound, and butter all the year round fiO cents, and eggs from 40 to '50 cents per dlien. Everything else in proportion.

Notwithstanding these prices, the farm ­ers here are not very thrifty, as thev spend moro lime playing poker than they do working on their fields.

Inside of tbe Indian reservation is the military reservation. The quarters are surrounded by quite a nice park traversed with tiny streams of water lined with shade trees. The officers live in comfort- able hewd-log houses, lead a quiet life and can save money if they desire to do so. The soldiers' quarters a n also commodi­ous and comfortable. A good hospital is connected with the post, but there is very little sickness. ’ The post-trader ia *ne of

There are aisi

language of the interpreter, when he heard that some of the tribe did not wish to sign the treaty, he replied “How can they help themselves, the old mau has signed?" Washakie has always been the friend of tbe white man, and hts tribe have been at -times efficient allies. The SboSijpnes are not th(j equals of the Arapahoes in any wav.

The Arapahoes have given evidence of fighting qualities on many occasions but they how seem to desire to learn the “arts of peace.” They take a lively Interest In all talk relatlVe to order, and are good workers—for Indians. Many* of them have intelligent faces and are well devel­oped physically. They maintain family relations; in fact some of them like these relations so well that they have more than onejfamily, but this fact seems not to be a distinguishing element In the tribe.

I noticed at the council, one child that had kinky hair and African features. The Indians call them buffalo children, but treat them the same as the others. A pair of twins bearing these distinguishing features caused the ohiefs to petition the “ Great Father” to remove the colored troops from the post.

Black Coal is the chief of the Arapahoes and is 6 feet high and “as straight as an Indian.” His hair is black as a raven’s wing except that a few white hairs are visible. He parts it in tbe middle and wears it braided, the braid; tied with bright red tape. He has a high forehead and a bright intelligent face. He cannot read nor Write, out ne was more than ii match for the chairman of the Commis­sion, who was determined to have a tract of land which lies to the south and is coveted ty the citizens of Lander.

Mr. Woodruff, the chairman, lives there, and his real objective point in all our negotiations was to get till desired tract. The Indians did not want the white men to get any nearer to Jhem on the south, as bad (white) men hover along the line and sell whisky to tbe Indians. I t is dangerous business, as a conviction means several years in the , pen. Still the profits are large and desperate men will take the chances. The other members of the Commission concluded to let the chairman and the chiefs fight it out.1' Washakie surrendered but Black Coal fought it out on his own line and won the victory. Mr. Woodruff is a smart man, and accustomed to carry his point when dealing with white men, but the “ untu­tored savage” was more than a match for him in debate as well as in diplomacy, and the treaty is now agreed upon leaving out the strip so coveted by the greedy “ white brother.”

While Washakie dresses like a tramp, Mr. B. Coal wears a nice fine suit of clothes and is cleanly and quite impres­sive in his general bearing He has a squaw a t the Agency and another at the Mission, about 80 miles distant. He lives most of the time near the Mission, but it is a great convenience to have a home awaiting him when he comes up here.

Indians are great gamblers. Groups of them may be seen around the store at all times in the day, some of them recklessly losing everything, while others are more conservative. I t is said that—unlike white m en—they never cheat, but play fair! , , _ v

The government should adopt and car­ry out a policy which will in a few years compel these able bodied Indians to work for their "grub” or go hungry. The whites who-live about here do not want this. They prefer to sell their produce to Uncle Sato at high prices to sustain them rather than see them become self-sustain- ing. But the great body of the “dear people” who live out of this range, and are taxed to feed and clothe these gentle­men of leisure, should insist upon their being made to support themselves. But you know the dear peop e do not concen­trate their power, but “scatter,” -frhile a few men here on the ground-, work to a well defined purpose, and succeed.

I have drifted into writing of things not entirely descriptive of the valley, and if my readers get tired of reading it when in plain print, the editor can assure them that he had a much harder task, trying to decipher this penciled scrawl written on my knee at the side of the stove in tbe of­fice room of a hotel, crowded with “ cow­boys” and other Sabbath day loungers.

I suppose when this reaches the Atlas the younger member of the firm will be partially acclimated In the new state to which he bas so recently emigrated. And while he may be regarded by tbe old timers as a “ tenderfoot,” in a new ter­ritory, be will after while become an “oj timer” himself. J. ~

The W. C. T. U. County Convention.

Last Thursday and Friday were red let­ter days for the W. C. T. U. people of Ted row, it being the occasion of the coun­ty convention which was held at ifitl place. The Tedrow W. O. T. U. have built a fine hall for their use. Tbe build­ing is two stories high and in size and finish is a credit to the village. The Odd Fellows^^ccupy the upper story and the W. C. T. U. the first story. All the un­ions in the-county except Metamora were represented. Reports were read showing that the work in its different branches is being successfully carried on, and that the interest is not lagging.

On Tnursday afternoon the new hall was dedicated by Mrs. Trego, of Dela­ware. Unfortunately on account of sick­ness in her family Mrs. Trego could only remain during the dedicatory exercises. She caljed for the trustees of tbe hall and the officers of 'the union, and kneeling with them, offered a pathetic prayer, ask­ing God's blessing ob them in their work. A memorial service was then held in mem­ory of Miss Anna Church a member of the Tedrow union, whq has been promot­ed to tlie Uni,on.above.

Mrs. Gascbe, President; Mrs. Shadle, Cor. Sec., and Mrs. C. S. Spillane, Treas­urer, were reflected, and Mrs. L. S. Wil­liams was eleiAed Rec. Seo.

A gold medal contest was held in the Disciple church on Thursday evening in which ten contestants took part. The medal was won by a young lady, the reci­tations were of a high order and very in­teresting. , The meeting was presided over by Dr. Pampbell, and the judge> were from Fayette, persons unacquainted w*th any of the contestants. Most excellent music was furnished during the conven­tion by the Delta Glee Club.

MrS. Phebe Clark of Toledo, former county president; and Mrs. Rev,, Bartlett of the same place were present. Taking It all through it was one of the most successful conventions that has been held in the county. X. X.

----------- m i m *------The Septem ber Rain-full,

As reported trom the Ohio Meteorologi­cal Bureau was as follows:

The mean rainfalPfor the northern sec­tion was 1.47 inches; for the middle,,0.87 inch; for the southern, 2.05 inches, and for the state, 1.46 inches.

DWIGHT, 1LU * JK

Th. Kultre Town Almost Wiped Ont of CiUteno«.

Dwight (111.) special: This town, famed in connection with the Koeioy Institute for Inebriates, was almost wiped .out of existence by lire. Tho flames originated in the Recfling Hotel and teen buildings, including two newspaper offices and one of the finest hotels in the State. Buldings were blown up with dynamite In order to check the tlaipes, and as tho town has 110 Fire Department, the surrounding towns of Pontiac, Joilet, and Bloomington, sent engines on special trains.

T he effort to prevent the spread of the flames by blowing up buildings proved successful and the flre was got under control. Dr. Keeley’s hotel, the Penn­sylvania, was saved by blowing up a puilding adjoining it. The losses by flre are: Perry’s Hotel; H. H. Cutting,cigars; Eepplinger Opej-a House; a ’ ma­chine shop; Dwight Star and Herald newspaper and printing office; pw inht Steam Laundry; two small frame build­ings; C. E. Koehnlein, furniture; Rein­hard t's restau ran t and the Stuffe Hotel, which sheltered 150 of Ur. Keeley’s pa­tients. I t Is not possible to estimate the loss. '

George Kepplinger is tho heaviest loser by tho tire. Ho owned the hall and sev­eral other buildings. His loss was, full $ 10,000; Insured for $500. The Stufto House, which was built this summer for the nr■ <'nmmml^tfnn of BLesley- patients, was entirely destroyed, loss $4,500. Tho Perry House, was also destroyed, loss,- $4,000. The other losors are: C. A.Stuck, ownor of tho North Star; J, Crocker, W. Rinehart, Mrs. Koehnlein. The Streets presented a queer sight. Dunkards from all overthe United States assisted the town periplo in'saviug goods. The Blcholoride of Gold Club was to hold an entertainm ont in Kepplinger's Hall at

: night. Had the fire occurred during the entertainm ent groat loss of life would doubtless hayp resulted. The fire is sup­posed to have started from overheating boards over an engine.

other serious attem pt a t revolution. The members of the Revolutionary Club in the suburbs of the city fired jpon tho troops stationed near a t hand.

A Catalogue of the Woek’s Important Occurrence, tfcpouffhool th . St.le — j Fires* Accident., crimes. Suicides. Etc.

CHABLK8 BTEWAR* PA USE I. r„and Parnell. This impression was kept up for some time until details came showing th a t the death was from nat­ural causes, the result of a seyere cold. Expressions of surprise were a t first more numerous than of sorrow, al­though now th a t the facts are learned these are succeeded by a feeling of pity. The death was a great surprise. Nobody was aware th a t Mr. l ’arnell had been ailing and It is no wonder th a t ru­mors of suicide look possession of the public mind, but i t seems that his physi­cians had frequently warned him th at ho was not strong and th a t he ought to cease public speaking lor a time. He made his last speech in Ireland a week ago, I t was noticed a t all recent meet­ings th a t jje worked himself up to a high pitch of nervousness, the tension of which lasted for days after. Despite the entreaties of his wife ho persisted in talking, although ho promised soon to take a rest.

Mrs. Parnell Is prostrated'by grief and fatigue, and the physicians are appre- heus.vw as to hei condition. She has been nursing her husband constantly «ince the cold settled on his lungs. Both were hopeful of recovery until nearly the last, when death came with terrible suddenness.

The effect of "Mr. Parnell’s decease on the political situation is already being discussed The healing of dissensions In tho national party is lookod for which will Immensely help the cause of home rule, removing all obstacles to Its prog­ress In Ireland Itself. Tho liberals in England have reason to hope for, tho restoration of harmony with the entire body of Irish nationalists and for the assistance of its undivided vote in tho next gehoral election.

Mr. Parnell had only just reiched his forty-fifth year and there seemed no reason why he should not have lived- lo attain a ripe old tige and to enjoy the full realization of his political aspira­tions. His death, occurring Just a t the present critical period of Irish affairs, Is calculated to produce a domplete i hange Ip the disposition not on y of tho Irish political forces, but to bring about a t f irs t« disintegration and then a recon • structlon of two political parties of Great Britain Cnder any circumstanc­es the Tory e alltlon with the followers of Mr. Parnell 1<now a t end, and, curl ou* as it may appear, there ran be lit' doubt th a t his decease will have fur-' nished the occas'on for uniting all Home- Bulers under ono leader, thereby putting an end to |ho chaotic confusion which has now existed for nearly a year.

The death of Mr. Parnell calls up to any person who Is interested in and has closely followed the Irish movemeut since 1875 memories of a period into which have been pressed moro events of first Importance to the Irish people than had occurred during any previous century In the history of th a t race. All those rem arkable struggles and episodes cluster around one striking personality, the story of whose development will constitute a long and pregnant chapter in the narrative of modern society.

The Secret of Dunraven Castle.

BY ANNIE ASHMORE,Author of "Faithful Marsrarat,” B to , E tc

- J r * « r - •A t last a low, murmuring voice a t ­

tracted his attention, A young girl stood by Lady Dunraven—a slender, snow-white creature, with delicately modeled form and pale, poetic face.

She never was a daughter of, the bleak Northland, th is splendid, dark-eyed beauty? Not for her the brief summer, and tho long, moaning winter of the N orth, with the swollen seas and the winds that mourn forever. Who could behold her lustrous, darkling loveliness w ithout dreaming of the hot, sweot, lavish summer oternai of the Orient?

And yet ho knew well th a t her mother had been of a noble Scotch house, and th a t her* name had been a favorite one In .the records of Rothago.

Then from what long-ago foreigner had Ulva inherited her sumptuous Southern beauty?

She spoke In a dainty murmur, w ith , many a cautious glanco toward Edgar; and the d istan t door a ja r so th a t she might fly upon his faintest movement

“B ut why ar6 you here yet and alone, Engelonde?” she said, chillingly, with hor arms round the ladjt’js J/ieck; thoughtJJr. Sircombo was to relievo you whenever JKenmore slept; he promised mo tHfit h i would.”

“II« wm not required here; my patient sleepaj'swcctly, ” returned Lady Dun- ravem in the same low tone.

“Aiii now i t is dawn,”'continued Ul­va, hading up her pretty finger re- proadiu lly , “and you have beon here all nlglt! Imprudent, wayward Mamma Engelofcdel And if I had not come dowu ssiirs to peep at Kenmore I should never hive found you out. Ah, you bad child!" \ - y - : . i -

W ith y h a t passionate delight the half .deliriousi E dgar watched tho arch, ''laughing! girl as she] menaced the lady

with her jlftcd lingor, a s ta r of mischief In each dkncing eye! ** v

Lady ©unraven drew the slender white creature to her, and fram ing the lovesome young face between her two hands, kissed it fervently.

“Now, go b ick to your pretty sleep, my own girl,* said she, “you know it pleases me best to watch the night away. And the servant? are weary, they might sleep a t their post. And this stranger, whom the sea has cast into our care, noeds vigilant watching, for he Is much hurt. No <^>ubt some mother’s heart would break should he die. ”

While speaking, Lady Dunraven drew Ulva away with her to the great yawn­ing fireplace where a bank of scented petal-embers glowed ruby red; yet, though the length of the magnificent room was now between them and Edgar, and thoy maintained a low m urmuring tone lest they should awake him, he could hear every syllable, so preter- naturally sharpened had his hearing be­come in the lervous straining uf his fevered faculties. I t seemed to him th a t hia heart would break were he to lose one word or one glanco of Ulva’s, al­ready she was standing w ithin the weird land of delirium, and i t confused him to dissociate her from tbe haunting Oolava of the cliff. He watched her from afar with a solemn fervor.

“Dear mamma, how bright your eyes aro!” wero Ulva’s next words, “and how hot your hands! And your heart beats so fast, so very fast! Oh, I am afraid when you look like that. Let me stay with the poor invalid. I shall not wake him, I promise—and do you re s t Do, Engelondo! Do!”

She hung about, tho lady with sweet insistence, her mood was changed, sud­den anxiety sobered her manner.

Lady Dunraven laid her slight hand on her daughter’s lips, with a faint smile. “Foolish child, w hat would the yoiing man th ink to lind such all attend­an t by his side?” \

"Hut he is fast asleep, mamma, I am ijuitoysure of that, ” entreated l/lva; “I stood over so long by the dooi/watching him before I ventured in, and he never once moved. And, mamma, I watchod yen, toe, and »>h, Uoiv, sorrowful you looked! Tell me why?”

“Do not ask, -my Consolation1” faltered Lady Dunraven. “Be happy while you m ay!”

W hat anguish thrilled beneatn the low pathetic tones! Ulva looked a t her wonderlngly and then kissed -her with passionate sympathy many times.

“Mamma,” whispered sho, holding her off to gaze a t her worn face with dark, frightened eyes; “Sweet En tjeionde,. I begin to th ink th a t you aro always puf- foring pain or grief! You put on a cheerful m anner whenever 1 am with you, but it is only for my sake; mean­while your eyes are growing larger and brighter every day, and your beautiful face moro worn and pale. And you call mo your Consolation—your only one. Oh, my own kind mamma—Is there no deliverance for you?” She spoke in an agitated m urmur, growing pale from feeling, and tears standing in her eyes. But Lady Dunraven burned away with a movement of despair, concealing.her too eloquent face.

“Child!" said she, wildly — “who has dar^d to open yonr eyes? Do not believe him — shut your ears from ev^ry tre a c h ero u s whis­per. Oh, child, be ‘happy while you may!* I t was a cry from her very h e a r t '

“No one has spoken one w ord to mo, mamma,” said Ulva; “w h o would?” Have w o a tra ito r among jjs? Mamma,I am afraid!” Min nestled more closely to Lady Dunraven, trembling and un­strung. Already the shadow of the fu­ture was darkening oyer her, she felt the daunting influence of an unknown sorrow which was coming nearer her. “ I am afra id ,” she whispered again; “I have been so happy here; I had forgot­ten th a t thero is sin and sorrow in the world. You have hidden your suffering sq well th a t I, selfish and unthinking egotist, be.ieved you as happy as you j made me. B ut I am awake a t last, you are pining away before my very eyes, and you will not let me sharo your trouble Oh, Engelondo, I am afraid for you!” j

Lady Dun raven's caressing hand aud-denly closed upon Ulva's with a warhtng jpressute s

She had met the eyes of their stranger fciuMt, fixod upon hor with.a strauge and j wandering look.

Kfco hastened to tho bedside and bent over him. his eyes followed her with no change of expression; they were g litter­ing, restless; his lips wero moving cease­lessly in a whispered babble. I Iva, s ta r t ed, gazed timidly over her shoulder a t him.

“Oolava! beautiful sea-princess!” mut­tered Edgar confusedly.

“Why, how Is th a!” cried Lady Dun­raven 1b d smay. “he Sa in a high fever—delirious!”

Ulva’s dark eyes showered upon the face and dark, f:a limn eye*, calling ou |*sofferer a div ne compassion. She went Kenmore to try a«*in'. try again: for nearer, to bru-h back a curling lock the stranger must I e saved. And he from hia burning forehead began to long for the touch of th a t Half conscious atilt, be could dlstln- iteethlng surf, and to pant for the e h ll l ii lg u *h this reality in the midst of tbe

of the night wind; and then ho i lllusiein who h oerpleved h m, ami hewould forget bis beat and th irs t again, turned hit. R lnvrin* ey« * upon her with

go back to f»ir Oo ava. 1 a softly g ra u lo t look.

a C H A PTER IT,—{C ontinued.)v Edgar’s heart beat faster as he recalled

tho vision of-the beautiful girl, with her Inspired face, and her dauntless glance

, jMiat swept the ravening waves, disput­ing' with them for their prey.

“I could describe her for you—every flowing curve, * said he, his tones v ibrat­ing with fgeling, while ho raised himself

. to his elbow in his enthuilasm. Sho is .dark andU rich ly ' beautiful, like an

■|siMy.ri»!v nay hnl|c.i-lnpli»9 in blue-black waves above her proud, innocent "brow; she is as ntcrciful as she Is brave; the

i peoplo worship her for her tender good­ness, and she is ju s t what a sea princess onglit to be!”

A slight stir and a sound like a stifled /breath a ttracted their eyes to a tall fig­ure which stood ju st without the circle of candle-light.

Lady Dunraven started Visibly, and recoiled with a sw ift and notable ohange of countenance. All the soft wondering interest was gone, she had turned proud from head to foot, her eyes flashed with a wonderful fire; yet her voice was low and even as she spoke,

“Approach, Mr. Sircombe; you know how welcome you always are. Mr. Sir­combe, Mr. Edgar. Your patient is comfortable, you see, s ir.”

How icy her glance! how austere! In all his astonishment Edgar could not but examine the man who had wrought the transformation with sudden, eager sus­picion. Remembering jthat this lady was wronged, he was ready to suspect any one whom she disliked as being tho wronger. He saw a tall, gaunt man, middle-aged; his shoulders were bowed and his chest hollowed; his temples were sqnk, his forehead bald, his eyes weary and haggard, and his countenance care­worn. He looked liko a worn-out stu ­dent, or like a man who has outlived every satisfaction his life ever possessed

Thero was, however, a gloomy fire in his eyos when they first encountered Ed-

tar’s which showed th at he had even yet j&o Interest In life-, and was quito eap-

ablo of animosities. His acknowledg­ment of Lady Duirravp.u’j^lnu»oductlori to tho stranger was partJiSmrly formal.

“I am gratified to learn th a t Mr. Ed­gar is comfortable. Although not a doc­tor, 1 was fortunate enough to have a c ­quired some medical knowledge in my university days; and soch simple skill as I possess Is sometimes useful on this u n ­frequented island. ”■.Edgar murmured his thanks for Mr.

®rcombe’s ministrations. He wondered whether. Mr. Sircombe had been among his men applying his simple skill to their bruises, and if so, whether he had ex­tracted from them tlie information which he was so anxious to keep back, namely, that he was Arden oi Inchcape and they were-Inchcai.o lads. He thought not.

,Mr. Sircombe’s morose visage expressed no Indighaiit astonishment when i.auy

• Dunraven named him Mr. Edgar.But if he was safe so far, he could not

count upon his future safety unless he irnado an effort to maintain it. He in­qu ired how his men were situated, and gathered from Mr. Sircombe’s answer that their hu rts had been efficiently dressed by the old “Spaewife” of Sieat- na-Vrecken while he was engaged with Edgar, and th a t by the time he was a t liberty to walk down to see them a t the cluster of cottages by the shore, they were reported to be all “dead asleep."

“And how fared my fine old enemy, Kenmore?” asked Edgar.

Kenmore had fared the worst of any. The old sea lion, inspired by his adored Oolava's presence on tho scene, had dived a fter tho - ^tunned and sinking young captain again and again: and having brought^him up, and supported him until they wore both drawn to land, he had sunk down a t Ulva's feet utterly exhausted, and had.not shown any signs of life for many hoars, '

Indeed, Lady Dunraven's whole night had been spent between the rooms of her

V favorite scr an t and her guest and the ■f attention which' sho gave to Klrcombe’s

iraport of Kenmore’s present stato show- *ed how deeply she would have mourned his loss.

“Has he spoken yet?” asked she. No, he had been conscious, but too weak for any effort. Mr. Sircomba had left him sleeping profoundly with a watcher In the room; he believed all. danger was past.

Edgar heard the story of his rescue I by the stern old Highlander and the

lovely girl-noble with thrilling emotion.V It seemed like some fine old romance »t J sncient chivalry; ho made a picture of Jthe wild s eue in his mind and pondered

river i t There was something fascinat­ing in the situation, and fair Ulva giew and grew in his* imagination with ever brightening beauty. He asked no more questions, but with half-shut eyes, which saw nothing present, and a faint smile on his lips, lay dreaming. •

Observing his silence. Lady Dnn- raven made a negligent sign of dismissal, which Mr. Slrcotnba instantly obeyed, with a low, submissive bow: and then

/she turned hor brilliant eyes eagerly io p o r the um onseious faco of Edgar,• «mm1 ovcr.lt w ltt intense later

The n ight sped; the fire flickered'anddied, and flickered again; a low, fitful *|nd complained around the walls: the

* tern a l roar of the hollow uceau thun­dered afar -

Edgar's open-eyed dream passed Into restless slumber; he woke again to a clearer vision of ' his dream; wild thoughts arid impulses came to weary him; ho began u> perplex himself about his surroundings; and still through every vary tug phase of his mood he saw fair Oo'ava in her dark-b ue a ttire standing upon the clllf, with her

and dark, f,a h im eyea. calling on

•ABd she is merciful as she Is brave , this Oolava," muttered he dreamily— “but she cannot escape from her cage— she cannot escape—till a strong hand comes from afar, to open and set her free!”

Pale as death, the ladies looked a t each other.

“W hat can he mean?” whispered Ulva. “Nothing, nothing but the ravings of fever,” faltered Lady Dunraven; b u t to herself she said: “Is this a prophecy? Is deliverance a t hand?”

C H A PTER H I .Y ou ’d swear,

As her d e l ic a t e f e e t in the dauce tw in k le round,

T hat h er steps are o f lig h t and her home Is th e air,

And she on ly par complaisance tou ch es the gro u n d !

“Alice, is th a t Lord Inchcape? See, your husband is going to meet him— there by th#t>rivato door."

“Yes, I t Is indeed th a t unfortunato man. We had not ventured to expect him, although wo always send him invi­tations. Dear heaven! w hat a wreck of his former self! Laura, I can read in his faco th a t his heart Is broken.”

The two ladies who exchanged tb.fese rem arks wero, Alice, the wife of Squire Crecy of Salford, and ihe hostess of the occasion; and Laura Dellamere, a beau­tiful widow of 34.

They were long-time Intimates, -and had many chords of sympathy between them.

"Five years since he left England, in the zenith ef a useful and ab.o publicl i f e , w ith >>lq wwfujf, y 111nf- wife. ”ue<> Mrs. Crecy; “then came the mysteri­ous calamity which has blighted him, and snatched her from his side. Sweet loyal soul! Ah, Laura, you and I knew how tru ly she loved her lord.”

“Each heart knoweth its own bitter­ness,” answered Mrs. Dellamere, her proud face paling; “and If my lord had cause for—shame” (she whispered the word a fte r a momentary struggle with herself), “he has hidden it well.”

“He never had, through Engelonde, never, never!” exclaimed Alice Crecy, with energy! “I f the fain test shadow of blamo ever fell upon her, it was through the wicked folly of th a t cra­ven ”

“Hush! Don’t u tter th a t name,” in ter­rupted Mrs. Dellamere, the blood mant­ling to her brow. “I know to whom you refer, though w hat your grounds for suspicion in th a t quarter are I cannot guess.

Mrs. Crecy was silent, her sweet face shadowed with the sadness of her thoughts, for her friend’s challenge had thrown open a gate In the past. ttrrough which crowded reminiscences little sus­pected by the proud Laura, and not for worlds would sho have hum iliated her- by betraying her knowledge of her sad secret

Mrs Dellamore eyed her searcblngly, and, perceiving th a f she did not in t nd to speaic, remarked:

“I have noticed that your suspicions of the Colotiel date from the day of his de­parture frqm Salford. Is i t not so?”

"Perhaps it is ,” faltered Mrs. Crecy; “a t all etpniaril am convinced th a t a great wrolig was committed by th a t man, and that an Innocent lady was made to suffer the consequences.”

“Innocent!” repeated Laura Della­mere, in an indescribable tope

“Yes, innocent, white, flaw less-as tru th itself!” said Mrs. Crecy, firmly. “I would pledge my life upon that. But surely you are mad to breathe such a theme here Hush! Forget, it, dear; my Lord Inchcape comes.”

These two: ladies wero seated side by side In two great blue easy chairs, in tho cent r of a brilliant company; the placo was the little gem theater in Dor mant, the Crocy res dence, and the occasion was a grand <mtertairihient given to tlie local gen ry by the Squire and his wife, in honor of tlieir only son's return home from the university for the last time:

A fairy extravaganza was about to bo performed by several of the youthful belles and beaux of the neighborhood, and the goodly c mpariy were en.'oying a lig h t talk While waiting for tho azure •and silver act-drop curtain to rise upon fairy land.

“Faith! I take this as very kind of ydn!” exclaimed the jolly Squire, who harf.bustled forward to meet Lord Inch- cape, and he grasped the pale, sinewy hand his lordship offered with a warmth that m ight have crushed the flabby mem­ber of a fine gentleman.

,“I wanted.to see your boy, H al,” re­plied Inchcape, his dark unsmiling eyes softening a little as they met the simple delight expressed in the Squire's. “Nineteen now, Isn’t-J ie? I ’ve heard Edgar Arden speak about him —he likes him.”

“Auberon’s his m others boy. There ain’t much of rough old Hal in him ,” said the father, proudly. “But come along, George; won't Alice bo pleased?”

Ho led him down the aisle towards Mrs. Crecy. a murmur of surprise and

‘interest following *hem.The Earl of Inchcape was still In tho

prime of life; a noble m artial carriage and the easy grace which is learned In courts, spoke of a time not far past when he must have participated in all that was moit stirring and g littering In life; and yet, as he walked down tho center of th a t gazing throng, he might have come from the antipodes so struck were they by his appearance in public, and so sternly unresponsive was he to all their glances.

But h s proud mien alterejd when he stood before Alice Crecy and jLaura Del­lamere—they were indissolubly linked with a time when his earthly felicity was a t its zenith

These two fair women had been the favorite associates of his wife, En- gelon e. his beautiful young wife whom tho world had for live years deemed dead. The lady had been .his second wife a fascinating American; and for one fair summer she-had ruled, a queen of society, in his ancestral castle, and these yvo ladles had bien her chosen aids .in the entertainmi n to f her guesta. So inseparable were they th a t a flatterer had poetically named i horn the Three Graces A phra-e which must ha \e le-

; curred to tho earl with poignant ass * i ciations as he now stood in their pre»- ! enee for the first time in five years, and ! looked from face to face, wist ulty, as If : he missed the third lirace from her place.! But he p«t an iron constraint ui>on ! himself and greeted them with faultless

forma i t , One would have supposed that the ha ighty earl had not one

’ reminiscence in common with these once int i m ac compan ons of bis adored wifo: and the eager Interest of th* on­lookers subsided as they saw there was to be no scene for their amusement.

“Your son is to Temaln a t homo with you for the fu ta te , 1 understand,” said Lord Inchcape to his hostess

An involuntary smile indicated the mother a p easure in the sub ect by hl» lordship. *

“T h a t ts his own election,” said the, j M o a d ly , “and a r<irj w e co n ic on e W us,

although we would not Iiave exacted It as a duty, to r Auberon p o ssesse s some gifts beyond the requirem ents of a coun­try gentleman."

“Madam, your son is a genius, E dgar Arden sayB,” remarked Inchcape, “a poet and a musician. He will Jose nothing by a season’s retirem ent in a happy homo with a mother who compre­hends him ,” and he pointed the compli­m ent by a courtier bow. ’

“The boy’s no sighing milk-sop, either,?' cried the jolly squire, chuckling. “I ’ll lay my head against a penny you’ll find him as game a hunter as any humping turn ip squire among us a ll.”

“His father’s son could-be nothing less than a thoroughbred English gen­tlem an,” returned Loid Inchcape, with th a t softer look which he always gave to bluff Hal Crecy. “Aud w hat of your fair daughter, madame?” added he, addressing Mr*. Dellamere. “Is she nota grown-up young lady now?” ------

“This is her first presentation to so­ciety,” answered Mrs. Dellamere; "she Is now seventeen and as tall as sho means to be—which, however, Is not up to my shoulder. ”

“I remember her -as a little witch in short frocks and long golden curls, the inseparable playmate of Auberon Crecy,” said Inchcape droamily. “They used to come to the Fosse for l,rlva;.w hat a pic­tu re tho little group made.1 We used to watch them from the windows. ”

As he spoke he turned his gloomy gaze upon tho ground, and gnawed his lips. In those days which he had inadvertent­ly recalled, his fair wife Engelonde was by his side when he watched-'fhe pretty tW . * JJ “Lovcday affects to have outgrown her early sentiment for Auberon,” said Mrs. Dellamere litrhtly. “She will now crave a female oompanion of her oy?ft ago, and 1 tru s t she will find one to your djjrtighter when sha returns to you.Is not tier education nearly finished uow, and may we not soon look for her?”

Mrs, . Dellamere w!»s one of the most graceful of society quijens, and possess­ed infinite tact, and she would no more have presumed to a lk the-e qnesttons than, she would have th ru st her hand into the fire, if sho had known w hat a wound she was probing.

Lord Inchcape’s faco hardened Into stone, and as she unwittingly caught his eye she met such a withering look of derision that she withdrew her own with precipitation, u tterly abashed.

“I fear Lady Ulva will not return to Salford for some tim e,” said my lord, coldly; then with a ro-olute change of subject he went on to say: “Is that her grace the Duchess of Cari-brooko I seo yonder? I t Is, Indeed, and seeming­ly as vivac ous as »ho was eighty years ago. ”

He leaned against a column beside the ladies, and folding his arms, relM*-e4 Into silence, the Irigid re.-erve oj a mis­anthrope.

Mr-i. Cre y’s hand stole toward Mrs. DeUamere’s under their ca-hmero-, and 'pressed it meaningly.

Perhaps they know just a little more than did the world of tho tragedy which had -poiled tho life of proud Inchcape.

Meanwhile an adjacent group of ladles wero discussing all ab orbing theme.

“Oh, I assure you it's quito a settled thing!” declared the aged. Duchess of Carl- brook e in berdoope-t tones. “Mrs. Crecy and Mrs. Dellamere have been fast friends and allies ever since Mrs. Del a- mere camo to Salford fifteen years ago, when she was newly emancipated from an old brule of a millionaire whom she had no business to m arry.” (W hat mer­ciless calendars old women are.)

“Auberon Crecy and lYovoday Delia- mere have been playmates in their child­hood, conipanion-'pirlt - In their youth, and they wiil now bo lover , my word for i t , ” and she nod led her silver head.

“I don’t know that, your grace,” ob­jected Lady Merrioti Kao, a S otch belle of twenty; “Lovoday Dallamoro is. as merry as it lritinn, and Au b raa Creey Ss

'something between the p o o t. and the prophet—where's the affinity?’ Besides, blonde doesn't magnetize blonde as a rule. Ha! my Lady Carisbrooke, me-- think's my intuitions see clearer than your oxperien e. ”

And her own dark lovoilncss glowori more trium phantly as she spoke

'Jhe surrounding gossips exchanged laughing and significant glances as they listened to bonny M errlon’s deliant declaration: and her grace, an imperi­ous autocrat regarding her own opinions, | fastened her lusterless old eyes upon the charm ing rebel’s blushing face as she retorted:

“Nobody on oarth need taKe the trouble to fall in love with Auberon Crecy. Loveday Dellamere was born for him, and ho for her. They will marry, and 1 shall live to see it ”

And having so propheded, the oracle nodded her head a do?en t mos, and turned toward the rising curtain.

The scene was a bit of fairyland A grassy ring silvered by moonlight lay in front; a mimic forest encircled it. aud In tho background rose the crystal outlines of a fairy palace.

The a c t opened with the entrance of a travo e r wrapped in his cloak, musing as he wandered among the trees with his eyes on the grounp and his thoughts far away.

The music expressed In long, wistful notes the sadness of his reverie, and tho loneliness of his situation.

Observing nothing, he advanced to the center of th o .fa liy ring, ana was sud­denly struck m ttionless, riveted by a spell to the magic spot upon which he had unconsciously intruded.

A shower of si ai k ing notes Indicated his astonishment and alarm; he then re­signed himself to the will of his Invisl- b,e captors, and doffing his plumed hat, reve ently kne t In supplication for re­lease.

T is was Auberon Crecy.The youth was rapturously beautiful.

Ho was slight, straight and graceful as an eldn prince; he had romantic fea tures and wavy, blonde hair; and his rad iant expression endeared him to every feminine heart while h s well-knit fig ure an'd well trained strength won him the masculln" approbation.

Al his brief life he had been adored, and yet his •holesome nature was un­spoiled. Beautiful, beloved, and gifted —was it not a dazzling fortune!

I: am better than I have been for eight years. If I gain as fast the next month I shall call myself welL I shall do all I can to help those gentlemen.

. W auseaw, Ohio, June 24th, 1891.This is t« cprtify that I have been afflicted with goiters or big neck, and had given me great an­

noyance. I called on Drs. B., S. & Co., at Wausean, Ohio, and took treatment and am now well, and am very thankful and in hopes that others that may be sick or afflicted will fall in as good hands. Can cheerfully recommend Drs. B. S. & Co. to all. -

MISS ALL1E FOSTER.

For many years T have been afflicted with goiters or big neck, it had grown so large that at times I could hardly breath, and would almost smother, and it affectwl my speech. I bad.doctored with many different physicians who had been recommended; with one ! doctored twelve months. All seemed to do no good. About March 1 st, 1891 1 heard of Drs B ..S .& Co.. and called on them at Delta, Ohio, and they said they could cure me, I began treatment at that time and am about well, the goiters are neatly all gone and I cannot say too much io favo« of Drs. B., S. & Co. May they live long a«d that the afflicted may find them are the wishes of myself and family.

MRS. CLARA W ELLIVER

For the benefit of mankind I would say that for years! was afflicted with Sault Rheum or Ede­ma very badly. I was so bad! for five years that I was much of the time unable to work My hands were cracked open in places ctear down to the bone and the light would show through. They would, bleed profusely whenever I tried to use them, and pain intensely. I had d{Ktored for years and spent hundreds of dollars with the most noted physicians and received no benefit, until about three years since I called on Dr. Stroup, of the firms of Drs. S. & Co., and the doctor told me there was no difficulty to cure me, that 1 had not been properly treated. I had little or no faith, but the doctbr seemed to understand his business and I thought h ist to try once more, and to the.surpnse of my­self and all who knew me I began to improve at once, and in less than four weeks my hands were well, and their treatment has cured me perfectly.. I a » a well man. Thanks to Drs* B„ S. & Co., Will answer correspondence gladly. cH a^ A s c o t T

LOOK OUT FOR THEM.“ My kidneys are all right, I have no

pain in my back.” Mistakeu.man! Peo­ple die from kidney disease of so bad a character that the organs are nearly de­stroyed, and yet they have never bad a pain or an ache;. Why? Because the disease began in the interior of the kidneys where there are few nerves of feeling to convey the sensation of pain, Dr. Kil­mer’s “ Swamp-Root’ is the trea t specific for “ Bright’s 'disease,” uriuary troubles and kfdney difficulties.
