CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
A Brave Girl.
In the year 1781, while Clinton and
Washington were watching each
other's movements near New York.
General Schuyler, having resigned his
command on account of unjust charges
made against him, was staying at his
house, which then stood alone outside
the stockade or wall of Albany. The
British commander, therefore, seeing
his opportunity, sent out John Walter
Meyer, with a party of Tories and In
dians, to capture Gen. Schuyler.
"When they arrived at the outskirs
of the city they learned from a Dutch
laborer that the general's house was
guarded by six soldiers. The Dutch
man, the minute the band was out of
sight, took to his legs and warned the
general of their approach.
Soon after a servant announced that
there was a strange man at the back
door who wished to see the general.
Schuyler, understanding the trap,
gathered his family in one of the upper
rooms, and giving orders that the doors
• and windows be barred, fired a pistol
from one of the top-story windows to
ilarm the neighborhood.
, The guards, who hail been lounging
In the shade of a tree, started to their
feet at the sound of the pistol; but alas,
too late I for they found themselves
surrounded by a crowd of dusky fig
ures, who bound them hand and foot
before they had time to resist.
And now you can imagine the little
group collected in that dark room up
stairs; the sturdy general standing re
solutely at the door, with his gun in
his hand, and his black slaves gathered
around him, each with some weapon;
and at the other end of the room, the
women huddled together, some weep
ing, some praying. Suddenly a crash
is heard which chills the very blood
and brings vividly to each one's mind
the tales of Indian massacres so com.
mon at that day. The band had broken
in at one of the windows.
At that moment Mrs. Schuyler
springing to her feet, rushed toward
the door for she remembered that the
baby, only a few months old, having
been forgotten in the hurry of the flighty
was asleep in its cradle on the first
floor. But the general,catching her in
his arms, told her that her life was of
more value than the child's, and that,
if any one must go, he would. While,
however, this generous struggle was
going on, their third daughter, gliding
past them, was soon at the side of the
cradle.
All was black as night in the hall,
except for a small patch of light just
at the foot of the stairs. This came
from the dining-room, where the In
dians could be seen pillaging the
shelves, pulling down the china, and
quarrelling with one another over their
ill-gotten booty.
How to get past this spot was the
question, but the girl did not hesitate.
She reached the cradle unobserved, and
was just darting back with her pre.
cious burden when, by ill luck, one of
the savages happened to see her.
Whiz ! went his sharp tomahawk with
in a few inches of the baby's head, and
cleaving an edge of the brave girl's
dress, stuck deep into the stair-rail.
Just then one of the Tories, seeing
her flit by, and supposing her to be a
servant, called after her, "Wench,
wench; where is your master ?" She,
stopping for a moment, called back,
" Gone to alarm the town !" and, hur
rying on, was soon safe again with her
father upstairs.
And now, very nearly all the plun
der having been secured, the band was
about to proceed with the real object
of the expedition, when the general,
raising one of the upper windows*
called out in lusty tones, as if com
manding a large body of men: "Come
on, my brave fellows! Surround
the house ! Secure the villains who
are plundering I" The cowards
knew that voice, and they each
and every one of them took to the
woods as fast as their legs could carry
them, leaving the general in possession
of the field.
The old Schuyler house looks now
as it looked then, except that the back
wing for the slaves has been torn down,
and some few alterations have been
made around the place; but when you
are shown the house, you can still see
the dent in the stair-rail made by that
Indian's hatchet more than a hundred
years ago.— St. Nicholas.
Each head of clover contains abou*
sixty distinct flower tubes, each of
which contains a portion of sugar not
exceeding the five-hundredth part of a
grain. The probocis of the bee there
fore must be inserted into 500 clover
tubes before one grain of sugar can be
obtained. There are 7,000 grains in a
pound, and as honey contains three
fourths of its weight of dry sugar, each
pound of honey represents 2,500,000
clover tubes sucked by bees.
A curious advertisement appeared
in a late issue of the Liverpool Mercu
ry. It read: I lost my purse contain
ing two guineas and a sixpence. The
finder can keep the gold if he will re
turn the sixpence, as it was the
amount of damages I received from
the Midland railway lor breaking my
leg. The bit of silver cost me £2lO.

SHIPPING ON FIRE.
Burning or a Dock and Vessels- A Number o
Persons Injured. I
A spark from an engine fell into a pile of
jute which had just been landed on Harbeck's
dock, Brooklyn, from the ship Lawrence E
Delap from Calcutta. The dock was filled
with hemp, jute and coffee. The flames
spread with incredible rapidity, and in a
few minutes the entire dock was ablaze.
The Delap was the first vessel to catch fire
and all her rigging was burnt before she
could be towed out. Next to her on the
south side of the dock was the ship Perse
verance, also from Calcutta, and on the north
side lay the ship Col. Adams, from Calcutta.
To both of these vessels the flames were com
municated, and the crews jumped overboard
for safety. When the firemen reached
the dock the supports of the roof gave
way and the roof fell in, burying over a dozen
firemen and dock hands beneath the ruius-
A rescuing party was quickly formed and
the men were dragged out from the blazing
rafters. None were killed outright, but all
were more or less burned and bruised. Fire
men McNamara, McDonald and McDougall,
of hook and ladder truck No. 3, were injured
seriously about the body. The loss on the
vessels and cargoes will amount to over
$500,000.

Among the Turkomans.
These Merv Turcomans, says a re
rent writer, seem br> have nothing to
do but loafing about all day from hut
to hut to see if they cannot surprise
some eatables. They gorge themselves
to excess on every possible occasion
with greasy food, and are continually
111 from indigestion. They throng my
house, partly to satisfy their curiosity
by staring at me and partly to devour
the greater portion of any food I may
have prepared for my own use. In
this way, unless one is prepared to
feed a dozen persons on each occasion,
he has no chance of getting a mouth
ful for his meal. It is of no use say
ing that what; you are eating is pig,
for they eat pork readily. Covetous
rapacity seems to be their leading
characteristic. They appear to think
the whole world is bound to con
tribute to their support; they give
nothing in return. No one who has
not suffered as I have among the
Merv Turcomans by being constantly
intruded upon and persecuted in every
way by their abominable presence
could appreciate the exquisite luxury
of being left in quiet solitude. A
daily administration of half-glasses of
arrack to patients who require arrack
derman (spirituous medicine) for in
ternal ailments, aches in their
stomachs, and the like. This is all a
pretense. It is simply a method of
getting half-intoxicated at my expense.

Dr. J. B. Henion, who is wed known not
only in Rochester, but in nearly every j art
of America, sent an extended article to this
paper, a few days since, which was duly pub

and rescue from what seemed to be certain
death. It would be impossibleto en' m< rale
the personal in> uiries which have been made
nt our oil ce a to the vulidity of the article,
but they have been so numerous that further
inves igaiion of the subject was deemed an
editorial mie-sity.
With this end in view a represent at ve of
this paper called on Dr. lienion at hiß resi
dence, when the following intorview occur

"That article of yours, doctor, has crea

is true I had frequent headaches; felt toed
most of the time; could e it nothing one d y

out 1 did not tlnnk it meant anything se

" Anythin it Why, they are the snre indi

"That is a strange statement, doctor."
" But it is a tine one. The medio 1 pro

" This, then, is what yon meant when you

"P eusely. Thoucands of so-called dis
*ase-i are torturing people to-day, when in
eality it is Bright s disease in some one of
ts many forms. It is a Hydra-! ea led m >n

which physicians declared atihe time were

my eyes thoiocgldy open in this matter and
think I am helping others to set) the facts
and their possible danger also. Why, there
are no end of truths bearing on this subject.
If you want to know more about it go and
see Mr. Warner himself. He was sick the
same as 1, and is the healthiest man in
Rochester to-day. He has made a study of
this rubject find can give you more facts
than 1 can. Go, too, and see Dr. 1-attim re,
the chemist, at the University. If you want
facts there nre any quantity of them show
ing the alarming increase of Bright s dis
ease. its simplo and deceptive symptoms,
and there is but one way by which it can be
escaped."
Fully satisfied of thetrn'h and force of the
Doctor's words, the reporter bade him good
day and called on Mr. Warner at his estab
lishmint on Exchimge street. At first Mr.
Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learn
ing that the information desire 1 was at out
the alarming increase of Bright's disease, his
manner changed instantly, and he spoke very
earnestly:
"It is true that Bright's disease has in
creased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable
statistics, that in the past ten years its
growth has been 250 percent. Lock at the
prominent men it has carrnd off: Everett,
Smnner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops
Haven and Peck, and others. This is terri
ble, and shows a greater growth than that of
any other known complaint. It should bo
plain to every one that something must be
done to check this increase or there is no
knowing where it may end."
" Do you think many people are afflicted
with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr.
Warner?"
" Hundrt ds of thousands. I have a strik
ing example of this truth which has just
come to my notice. A prominent professor
in a New Orleans medical college was lectur
ing before his class on the subject of Bright'*
disease. He had varions fluids under imcro
soopic analysis, and was showing the stu
dents what the indications of this terrible
malady were. In order to show the contrast
between healthy and unhealthy fluids he had
provided a vial, the contents of which were
drawn from his own person. ' And now,
gentlemen,' he said, 'as we have seen the
unhealthy indications I will show > ou how it
appears in a state of perfect health.' and he
submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As
he watched the results his countenance sud
denly changed—his color and command both
left him, and in a trembling voice he said:
'Gentlemen, I have made a painful dis
covery; 7 'have Bright's disease of the kid
neys. and in less than a year he was dead."
" Yon believe, then, that it baa no symp
toms of its own aud is frequently unknown
even by the person who is afflicted with it:"
" It has no symptoms of its own and very
often noue at all. Usually no two people
have the same symptoms, and frequently
death is the first symptom. The slightest
indication of any kidney difficulty should be
enough to strike terror to any one. I know
what I am talking about, for 1 have been
through all the stages of kidney disease."
" You know of Dr. Henion's case ?"
" Yes, I have both read and heard of it."
" It is very wonderful, is it not?"
" A very prominent case, but no more so
than a great many others that have come to
my notice as having been cared by the same
me ins."
"You believe, then, that Bright's disease
can be cured'?"
" I know it can. I know it from the expe
rience of hnnd; els of prominent persons u ho
were given up to die by both their pbynicans
and friends."
"You speak of your own experience, what
was it?"
"A fearful one. I had felt languid and un
fitted for business for yea a. But 1 did not
know what ailed me. When, however, I
found it was kidney difficulty, I thought
there was little hoi e. and so did the doctors.
Ihav since learned that one of the physi
cians of thiscity pont.dme out to a gentle
man on the street one day, saying, 4 there
goes a man who will be dead within a year.' 1
e ieve his words would havoprovin true if I
had not fortunately secured and used the rem
edy now known as Warner's Safe Cure."
"And this caused you to manufacture it?"
" No, it caused me to investigate. I went
to the principal cities, saw physicians pre
scribing and usin r it, and I therefore de
termined, as a duty I owed humanity and the
suffering, to bring it within their reach, and
now it is known in every part of America, is
sold iu every drugstore and has become a
household necessity."
The reporter left Mr. Warner, mnch im
pressed with the earnestness and siucerity
of his statements, and next paid a visit to
Dr. S. A. Lattimore, at his residence on
Prince street. Dr. .Lattimore, although
busily engaged upon some matters con
nect d with the State board of health, of
which he is one of the analysts, courteously
answered the questions that were propounded
him:
44 Did you make a chemical analysis of the
case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years
ago, doctor?"
44 Yes, sir."
44 What did this analysis show you?"
44 The presence of albumen and tube casts
in great abundance."
41 And what did the symptoms indicate?"
44 A serious disease of the kidneys."
44 Did you think Mr. Warner could re
cover?"
44 N0. sir. I did not think it ro sd)le. It
was seldom, indeed, that BO pronounced a
case had. up to that time, ever been cured."
44 Do yon know anything about the remedy
wh'cli cine I him?"
" Ves. I have chemically analyzed it nnd
upon critical examination lind it entiie y
fr e f roni any i o sonous or deleter.oua s .b
etau< e-."
We publish the foregoing e'atementa in
view of the o immotion which the publicity
of Dr. Hcnion's article ha* caused and t>
meet the prjtesiationa which have been
made. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr.
Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community
is beyond question and the statements they
make cannot for a moment I e doubted.
They conclusively show that Blight's disease
of the kidneys is one of the most deceptive
and dangerous of all diseases, that it is ex
cel din.rly common, alarmingly increasing
nnd that it can beiurod.
There is no trait more valuable than a de
termination to persevere when the right
thing is to be accomplished.
