flE.SSKKOOK. An III li Temperance Town nnl lis Pros. perltv. In my recent transatlantic trip one of tho most mtpreeunp; localities I visit! -.as Bosnbrook, in the north of Ireland, & celebrated linen manufactory. The product cf its looms may be found all over tho world, vrhile every interna tional exposition of industry has hon ored its contributions with the highest prizes nnd declarations of approval. The'fonnder of this immense business is George Richardson, one of heaven's nobilitr, an unassuming Quaker or member of tho Society of Friends. From his youth George Richardson was brought up in the linen trade, but his present colossal establishment was commenced by hfm in the year 1854, nnd it has kept on growing and improv ing ever since, tin til it now gives em ployment to 5,000 hands, pays out weekly $35,000 in wages, burns annually 10,000 tons of coal, and weaves into its exquisite fabrics every year $1,000,000 worth of raw material. With inexpressi ble astonishment and delight we ex amined Home of these beautiful produc tions, forgetting as we looked upon them that they were artioles of every day utility, and thinking of them only as works of art flowers and ferns as delicate and graceful as though they were scattered over the material into which they were woven. On one set of table linen a buffalo hunt was depicted with as much vigor and accuracy as though it were drawn on canvas. On another set, designed for the French market, the whole series of Fontaine's fables was most delight fully portrayed. Bat what most of all challenged our admiration was a table cloth of immense proportions into which the shuttle had deftly wrought a mag nificent representation of Win. Penn's contract with the American Indians. Over the heads of the figures appeared, woven in ornamental letters, this in scription: "The only treaty never rati fied by an oath." Underneath, woven in a similar manner, appeared the com pletion of the legend: "The only treaty that was never broken." We suggested t he presentation of this superb table-cloth to the State of Penn sylvania. Having been disappointed in obtaining Penn's body for enshrinement in their new city hall in Philadelphia, such a gift might soothe the vexation they felt at the refusal of the British authorities to part with the relics of the Quaker statesman. The proposal was quite cordially entertained. I ex pect that some day the Keystone State will gratefully remember the obligation she is under to a wandering Methodist preacher for one of her most beautiful specimens of household goods. We wandered through this immense establishment, marked its lofty walls of chiseled granite, the complete ar rangement of its several departments, tLe skill and accuracy with which every detail of this vast business was carried on, and learned the power and value of intelligent organization as we never before perceived it. We looked into the faces of the men. in charge of the various sections of the establishment and read in their countenances a re pose of character, an expression of sobriety and intelligence which plainly showed that they brought more to their business than mere mechanical skill that they knew how to serve God as well as the corporations by which they were employed. The operatives gener ally looked healthy and dntented, and appeared to enjoy their work. Around this great establishment lies JLl 1 1 m m - . - a ene ueauuirn village oi liessbrooK, in habited mainly by the workers in the mills; its streets well laid out, wide and clean; fountains of the purest water gushing up in every square and at almost every corner: tasteful cottaees built with brick and stone, of varied form and color; hardly a house without its patch of greensward and flower gar den; every house occupied, end new blocks in course of erection, more elab orate and ornate than any of the earlier structures. We saw fine large churches of the various leading denominations Friends, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists and Roman Catholics; ele gant school buildings, atd throngs ol children romping around them; a nice library building and free reading room, a wfill arranged dispensary and savings bank. We are informed that the dispensary was supportad by a light tax on the earnings of every employe, and this tax not only secured medicine and medical attendance, but also half pay 'for every invalid belonging to the firm so long as he was unable to work. The savings bank was well supported, some opera tives being depositors to the amount of from $1,500 to $2,000. Wo saw one of the largest dairies in the land, where milk and butter of the best quality are famished to the villagers just at the cost of production. Some things found in profuse abundance in almost every other locality are utterly lacking in Bessbraok no idlers, no loafers, no Eolicemen (while the country at large is eld at the point of the bayonet), no drunkards. All these are lacking be cause there are no rum shops. No rumseller or rumdrinker can find any place in Bessbrook; they are kept out of it as strictly as a wolf is kept from a sheepfold. And in this single fact we have the most obvious cause of its marvelous prosperity. Mr. Richard son is a Etrict teetotaler, and all his as sociates in the business are men equally as zealous for the cause of total absti nence; and the law of local option ad ministered by them excludes every in toxicant from their premises. What an amazing contrast this little village presents to almost every other locality in the nation in which it is situ ated ! It is a healthy spot in the body that is almost wholly covered with gan grene, Since about the time Bessbrook came into existence. Ireland has lost 4,000,000 of her inhabitants. Bess brook is the picture of thrift, beauty, prosperity and progress. Letter in Zton n Herald.

Nine tailors make a man. This Shraso originated in tho following ind ent: In 1742 an orphan boy applied at a fasluonable tailor shop in London, in which nine journeymen were employed. His interesting appearance opened the hearts of the benevolent tailors, who immediately contributed nine shillings for the relief of the little stranger. With this capital he purchased fruit, which ho retailed at apr fit. Tim passed on, and wealth and honor smiled upon the young tradesman, so that when he set up his carriage, instead of troubling the college of heraldry for a cre'st he painted the following motto on the panel of his carriage door: "Nine tail ors made me a man." The abbreviation st. is a contrac tion of tho Latin scilicet, itself con tracted from scire licet, and equivalent to the old English "to wit." The de sign of the word was simply to call at tention to what follows, and in modern typography it might be represented by the index 6y or its equivalent. It is erroneously supposed by many to mean place oi tne seal." But better had they ne'er been born etc: Within this awful volume lies Tho mystery of mysteries. Oh, happiest they of human race, To whom our God has given grace To hear, to read, to fear, to pray, To lift the latch and force tho way ; But better had they no'er been born Who read to doubt, or read to scorn. The above lines, though originally written in pencil marks in a fly-leaf of a copy of a Bible owned by Lord Byron, and in consequence credited to him, it has been shown were written there by his friend and contemporary, Sir Walter Scott. This mark, the Bign. of equality. was introduced into algebra by Robert Recorde, the first English author on his subject, some time about 1557. In his treatise on algebra, called "Whet stone of Witte,"he says: "To avoide the tedious repetition of these words, "is equal to," I will settle as I doe often in works use, a pair of parallel lines of one lengthe, thus because no 2 thynges can be more equalle." "Mlicn, you go to Home do as Rome does." In the time of St. Augustine the question respecting Saturday, being in its infancy, that great theologist was in the habit of dining upon Saturday as upon Sunday; but his mother, Monica, being puzzled with the different prac tices there prevailing for they had be gun to fast at Rome cn Saturday ap plied to her son for a solution of the difficulty. He in return went to Milan on purpose to consult St. Ambrose on the subject. Now at Milan they did not fast on Saturday, and the answer of the Milan saint to the Hippo saint was this? "Wnen i go to Rome I last on Satur day as they do at Rome; but when I am Here l do not. an advice that is cur rent among us to this day "When you go to Rome do as Rome does." He that fights IIo that fights and runs away May live to fight another day. -These lines, usually ascribed to Hu li bras, are really much older. They are to be found in a bo k published in 1556. The same idea is, however, expressed in a couplet published in 1542, while one of , the few fragments of MeDander, the Greek writer, that have been pre served, embodies the same idea in a single line. The couplet in Hudibrasis: For those that fly may fight again, Which he can never do that's slain. Whistling girls, etc. Whistling girls and crowing hens Always come to some bad end. In one of the curious Chinese books. recently translated and published in PariB, this proverb occurs in substan tially the same words. It is also an in junction of the Chinese priesthood, and a carefully observed household custom. to kill every hen that crows as a pre ventive against the misfortunes which the circumstance is supposed to indi cate. The same praotice prevails throughout many portions of the United States. Washerwomen on a Strike. The Paris correspondent of the Bos ion journal writes : .Fans lias been in distress over the strike of the washer women of Arcueil-Cachan. Thin in a. more serious matter than may at first be tnougnt. lfie women, several hundred in number, announced their intention of never washing another shirt or napkin until their daily pay had been raised from two francs and a quarter (forty-five cents) to three francs (sixty cents;, and said that all the other mem bers of their profession would soon fol low their example. There are no less than 6.000 washerwomen in thn im mediate neighborhood of Paris. Nearly an tne washing of the great city falls into their hands. For the moment a compromise has been made, but the women say that they will -carry out their original plan, and are holding meetings everv week. A HnsnAnsion nf their humble functions for a fortnight would leave the city m a rather un pleasant predicament, for there is not one family in ten that does its own washing. All the restaurants, hotels etc., send their linen into the country whence it is returned clean at the end of eight days. The Babylon L. I. South Bide Signal quotes Iroui a Missouri paper Mr. Wm F.

Tho following article from the Democrat and Chronicle, of Rochester, N. Y Is of so striking a nature, and emanate from so reliable a source, that it is herewith repabllRhed entire. In addition to the valuable matter it contains, it will be found exceedingly interesting : To the Editor of the Dnnacrat nnd ChronMe; Kir ! My motives for the publication of the most unusual statements xlnoh follow are, first, gratitude for the fact that I have been saved from a most horriblo death, and, seoond )y, a desire to warn all who read this statement against some of the most deceptive influences by which thoy have ever been surronnded. It is a fact that to-day thousands of pooiilo are within a foot of the gravo and they do not know it. To telt how I was caught away from Just this position and to warn others against Hear ing it are my objects in this communication. On the first day or June. 1881, I lay at my residenco in this city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only know s the agony I then endured, for words can never de scribe it. And yot, if a fow years previous, any one had .told me that I was to be brought so low, and bv bo torrible a disease, I should have coffod at tho idea.- I had always been un commonly strong and healthy, had weighed over 200 pounds and hardly knew, in my own experience, wnat pain or sickness were. Very many pooplo who will read this statement re alize at times that they aro unusually tired and cannot account for it. They fuel dull and in definite pains in various parts of the body and do not understand it. Or thoy are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite tho next. This was just the way I lolt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself tipou me first began, istui 1 thought it was nothing; that probably I had taken a-cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a dull, and at times neuralgic, pain in my bead, but as it would oome one day and be gone tne next, I paid but littlo attention to it. However, my omach was out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times great inoonvenionce. Yet I had no idea, oven as a physician, that these things meant anything serious or that a monstrous disease was becoming fixod upon me. Candidly, I thought I was suffering from Malaria and so doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent lrotn ana senm appeared upon tne surraco. and a sediment Buttled in the bottom. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the tact that 1 had no 9in in tne anecteu organs or in tnoir vioiuity. Vbv I should have boon so blind I cannot understand. Tlmra in a. terrible future for all nb.VAiea.1 neglect, and impending danger usually brings a person to his senses even though it may then be too late. I realized, at last, my critical condition and aroused my del f to overcome it. And, Oh 1 how hard I tried I I conmiltod tho best medical skill in the land. I visited all the prominent mineral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California, Htill I grew worso. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation; another, nervous prostratiou; an other, malaria ; another, dynpepeia; another, heart disease J another, general dobility ; another, congestion of the base of the brain ; and so on through a long list of common dis eases, the symptoms of all of which I really bad. In this way several years passod.during ail of which time I was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms 1 at first experienced were developed into terrible ana constant disorders tne little twigs of pain bad grown to oaks of agony. My weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My liro was a torture to myself and iriouas. l couiu retain no 100a upon my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulso was un controllable. In my agony I frequently fell upon the floor, convulsively clutched the car pet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the doath-premonitorr hiccoughs constantly. My urine was filled with tube casts and albumen. I was struggling with Bright's Disease of the Kidneys iu ita last stages. While suffering thus I received a call from ray pastor, the Itev. Dr. Foote, rector of 8t. Paul a church, of this city. I felt that it was our bust interview, but in the course of conver sation he mentioned a remedy of which I had heard much but had never used. Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures which hod oome under his observation, by means of this remedy, and urged me to try it. As a practicing physician and a graduate of tho schools, I cherished the prejudice both natural and common with all regular practitioners, and derided the idea of any medicino outside the regular channels being the least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that 1 fi nally promised I would waive my prejudice and try the remedy he so highly recommended. I began its use on tho first day of June and took it according to directions. At first it sickened . me; but this I thought was a good Bign for one in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed and I wan able to retain food on my stomach. In a tew days I noticed a decided change for the better. as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experienced less pain than for merly. I was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what I believed a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of hu manity, wherever and whenever I liad an op portunity. I also determined that I would give a course of lectures in the Corinthian Academy of Music of this city, stating in full the symptoms and almost utter hopelessness of my disease and the remarkable means by which I have been saved. My improvement was con stant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained twenty-six pounds in qsrn, became entirely free from pain, and 1 be lieve I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which I used. Binoe my recovery I have thoroughly rein vestigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state, deliberately, and as a physioian, that I believe more than ONE-HALF THIS DEATHS WHICH OCCVJB IN AMERICA ABB CAUSED BY BhIOIIT'8 DlHKASB OF THE KID NEYS. This may Bound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright' disease has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed, it often develop without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but baa the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Hundreds of people die daily, whose burials are authorized by a physician's certificate of "Heart Disease." "Apoplexy," "l'aralysis," "Spinal Complaint," "Ktieu matiam," "Pneumonia," and other com mon complaints, when in reality it was Bright' Disease of the Kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and in sidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifest its presence by the com monest symntoms, and fastens itself upon the constitution before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and fully as fatal. Entire tamilies, inheriting it from their auoestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized tho mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms it often chow none whatever, but brings death sud denly, and as such is usually supposed to be heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I im plore every one who read these word not to neglect the slightest symptom of Kidney dutifully. Certain agony and possible death will be the sure result of such neglect, and no one can afford to hazard Buch chances. I am aware that such an unqualified state ment as this, coming from me, known as I am throughout the entire laud ana practitioner and leoturer, will arouse the surprise and possible animosity of the medical profession and aeton ish all with whom I am acquainted, but I make, the foregoing statement based upon fact which I am prepared to produce and truths which I can substantiate to the letter. The welfare of Umno who mny possibly be miTorrrs such n I wns, is an ample Inducement for me to tako tho step I havo, and if I can anocess ftilly wnrn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endnre all professional and personal consequences.

The Dundee (Scotland) People's Jour nal says: Of all men, sailors aro about the most superstitious, and perhaps whale fishers are the most superstitions of all. For a ship to start on her voy age on & Friday, or for any important work, such as putting the lines on board the boats, to tako place on that day, is synonymous with certain failure of the fishing, if not something worse. The captains generally defer to the men's deep-rooted prejudice on the subject; but a fow of them havo darod the evil influence by Bailing on Friday, with the result that the voyage instead of being unsuccessful has. frequently proved un usually fortunate. One notable instance occurred whero a whale ship Bailed on a Friday, and every whale that was caught was killed on ft Friday.' The men are likewise very particular about the way in which everything is put on board at the equipment of the ship. A boat which had been brought down from the yard stern foremost is known to have been sent back and fetched down bow foremost, and nothing will be accepted by a sailor which is handed to him between the shrouds. On one occasion a ship had been very unfortunate, not a whale having been caught, although son was well advanced. The success was attributed to an the sea- wunt of English- man who wore a peculiar high-peaked white hat, and at the solicitation of the crew he allowed his hat to be consumed on a bonfire kindled on the ice witn a view of exoroising the spirit of bad luck. In the days of the old sailing ships the burning of the witches was a regular occurrence. The master of the ceremonies had a piece of flat stick, on the end of which a quantity of salt was placed, and his plan of burning out the witches was by pushing the stiok through the ring of the anchor, and then setting 'fire to the salt, muttering the while some doggerel, beginning thus: " Avoid ye tiatan, and away with your crooked rumple." A curious coincidence hap pened one year on board the old Advice. The season had been very un propitious, and as it was well advanced and the ship still "clean," the cere mony of burning the witches was re sorted to. One of the crew, an o'.d man, famed for his success in exorcising the evil genius, acted as high priest on the occasion, and curiously enough a fish was caught the following day. The ceremony was repeated three times, at intervals of a we k, and with the like result, a whale having been got the succeeding day. It is creditable to the intelligence of the men to say that this witch-burning is never heard of nowadays, having disappeared along with many of the other superstitious notions which were in vogue in " the good old times." "Scratch Mm." A short time ago a juror ai peared before one of the judges of this county, who is celebrated for dispatching busi ness and using no unnecessary words iu giving his orders, and asked to be excused. " Swear him in, Mr. Clerk." " What is your excuse ? ' "I have got the itch I am itching now." "Mr. Clerk, scratch him." Whereupon the clerk scratched his name from the list When the juror returned to his store he said he never spoke truer in his life than when he said he was itching, "for," said he, "I was itching; but it was to get back to my business."
