TOPICS OF TIIF. DAY.
The American craze in England b
reported to be more pronounced than
is the English craze on this side of the
Atlantic, and it is predicted that next
spring America will draw off hosts oi
English tourists from Switzerland.
Mr. Marvin H. Bovee, of Wisconsin,
who has considerable noteriety
through his persistent efforts in many
parts of the country toward the abol
ishment of capital punishment, intends
to visit the Legislatures of all South
ern States during the winter, and dis
cuss this question before those bodies.
A verdict In the Superior Court at
Augusta, Ga., giving damages to a
father for injuries sustained ly a
daughter fourteen years old, in the
Augusta factory, from which injuries
the child died, is regarded as settling
a very important precedent, establish
ing liability of manufacturing com
panies to parents in damages for injur
ies to minor children while at work.
Miss Booth aud her companions,
who were expelled from Switzerland,
were enthusiastically received in I,on
don on their return to that city.
Fully fifteen thousand people attended
the three great thanksgiving meetings
held in Exeter Hall. In a speech on
the occasion Miss Booth said that, at
whatever risk, the Salvationists were
determined to resume the fight for the
redemption of Switzerland, and not
only of Switzerland, but of France,
Italy, Australia and America.
Among the pleasant souvenirs of
his visit to Washington, which Chief
Justice Coleridge, < f Great Britain,
will carry home with him, is a sonnet
written by his great-uncle, the poet, in
the album of an American lady more
than half a century ago. The lady
was Miss Barbour, a daughter of
James Barbour, of Virginia, who was
at that time United States Minister to
Great Britain. The sonnet was writ
ten on the eve of her return to Ameri
ca, and has never been published.
The new and thrifty town of Pull
man, near Chicago, lies on a fiat
prairie, and the problem of drainage,
which is so difficult to solve in a great
many places, had to be met in Pull
man. The following is the one adopt
ed, and it is said to be satisfactory in
its workings and profitable in its re
sults. Sewers are built to empty into
a sunken tank, from which the sew
age is pumped through a twenty-inch
main to a farm three miles away.
The system cost $80,000; the farm
yields a profit of $5,500 a year.
The New Orleans Exhibition, which
is to be held in December, 1884, is
rapidly taking shape. The preliminary
arrangements have been perfected in
nearly all the Southern States, as wel]
as in Mexico and the principal
governments of Central America.
There is no reason why such an exhi
bition should not be a great success in
New Orleans. It is the largest city
in the South, with many features
which make it interesting for winter
visitors. The jetties have given the
city its anti-war position as the great
commercial city of the South, and it is
fitting that this should he celebrated
by an exhibition of Southern products.
Tea drinking was lately denounced
in violent terms by an English clergy
man at a meeting held to further the
establishment of courses of instruc
tion in practical cookery in the
elementary schools. He said: "If 1
had my own way there would he much
less tea drinking among people of all
classes. Excessive tea drinking
creates a generation of nervous, dis
contented people, who axe for ever com
plaining of the existing order of the
universe, scolding their neighbors and
sighing after the impossible. I sus.
pectthat over-much tea drinking, by
destroying the calmness of the nerves,
is acting as a dangerous revolutionary
force among us."
One reason that so many men desert
from the army—ls per cent a year, it
is said—Secretary Lincoln thinks is
due in a great measure to the fact that
the enlisted men are employed most of
the time not as soldiers but laborers,
and, what makes it worse, without
payment for their work. Their life is
made unbearable by an unending
round of hard work without compensa
tion. This might be obviated in two
ways—Congress might provide for a
force of laborers, carpenters, etc., or
the soldiers when so employed might
be allowed extra duty pay. At present
it is rather discouraging for an enlisted
man to be employed for months at a
time as a carpenter or blacksmith for
about sl9 a month, counting in the
cost of his rations, when he could
make say S6O at the same business in
civil life.
The Cost of a Railroad Traiu.
A railroad superintendent has given
the San Francisco Call an estimate of
the cost of an average train on a first
class railroad ; For an express train,

room car, $12,000 ; five first-class Pull
mans, SIB,OOO each ; total, $120,000
The ordinary express train represents
about $85,000. Some Pullman cars
cost SBO,OOO each. The average value
of a freight train is still greater than

ITawaii, being wholly volcanic, looks
like a fortress ninety miles long, built
up by the genii. Yet, dreary as it is,
or uterus from the sea, it is really full
of green pastures, on which feed wild
cattle, the descendants of those brought
in by Vancouver, and owned by ranch
men, to the tune of ten and fifteen
heads apiece, in runs of twenty miles
long. It must have been sad to stand
by and see a forest burned up like so
many matches, and another with the
trees snapped off at the surface of the
fire-flood, the portion imbedded in tho
lava being burned to dust, and leaving
a series of pock-marks on the hardened
surface. One night in 1852, it seemed
as if a solitary star was shining on the
Mauna Loa, at a spot afterward found
to be four thousand feet below the
summit. After the second evening it
seemed to die away, but soon burst
out again with amazing splendor, no
longer a star, but a column of fire
seven hundred feet high by angular
measurement, and from two hundred
to three hundred feet broad, which
was visible one hundred miles off, and
the ashes and chared leaves from
which, covered the docks of approach
ing ships. The lava stream was visi
ble thirty miles off; and in twenty days
there had been thrown up a cone a
mile round at the base and four hun
dred feet high, which is standing to
this day. The weird beauty of the
color-changes was something past be
lief. Issuing white-hot from the cra
ter, the lava changed first to light,
then to deep red, then to glossy gray,
with shining black patches, every tint
intermingled in constant movement,
and a very cataract of sparks falling
from the fire pillar.
In 1855 there was a yet greater erup
tion, from |which the town of Hilo
narrowly escaped. One strange episode
was when a cataract of lava poured
over a precipice into a very deep rock
basin, in which a big ship might have
floated. The water was .all driven off
in steam, the basin filled up, and the
precipice changed into a glently slop
ing plane. Months after it was a hid
eous sight to see this lava stream,
alxmt fifty miles from its source, slug
gishly twisting about in vast coils,
whose lustrous metallic surface was
seamed with red, showing the uncooled
stream below, while every now and
then the glistening crust which hung
over this fire-stream caved in just as
"cat's ice" breaks and shows the water
underneath it.
Legitimate Work.
Talking about laboring women, 1
wish it were in my power to persuado
young girls who wonder what they
shall do to earn their living, that it is
really letter to choose some business
that is in the line of a woman's natu
ral work. There is a great repugnance
at the thought of being a servant, but
a girl is no less a servant to the man
who owns the shop where she stands
all day behind the counter than she is
where she waits ujHn the table or
cooks the dinner in a pleasant house;
and to my mind there would not be a
minute's question between the two
ways of going out to service. The
wages are better, the home is better,
the freedom and liberty are double in
one what they are in the other. If,
instead of the sham service that is
given by ignorant and really overpaid
servants to-day, sensible New England
girls who are anxious to be taking care
of themselves and earning good wages
would fit themselves at the cooking
schools, or any way they found availa
ble, they would not long wait for em
ployment and would be valued im
mensely by their employers. When
one realizes how hard it is to find good
women for every kind of work in our
houses, and what prices many rich peo
ple are more than willing to pay if
they can be well suited, it is a wonder
more girls are not ready to seize the
chances. It is because such work has
been almost always so carelessly and
badly done, that it has fallen into dis
repute, and the doers of it have taken
such low rank. Nobody takes the
trouble to fit herself properly, but
women trust to being taught and find
ing out their duties after they assume
such positions, not before.
The MPBHOW* of Maryland.
SPRINGFIELD, PRINCE GEORGE'S
Co., MD. —Air. Chas. G, Addison, of
the above named place, states: "I
sprained my right knee causing intense
suffering, and the use of crutches for
several weeks. I found no relief in
other remedies and finally tried the
miracle of cure, St. Jacob's Oil. In a
short time I could bend my knee—
which was as stiff as an iron rod, —
laying aside my crutches and was able
to walk as well as ever.
Avoid Wrinkles.
A wrinkle, once made, is indelible;
it has come to stay. There is no such
thing as wiping out wrinkles. In men
they are often honorable evidence of
hard mental labor; in women they are
usually evidence of coming age, al
though care and suffering have much
to do with them. Sometimes fair fore
heads are prematurely wrinkled from
a nervous habit of elevating the eye
brows, and from a too great and too
constant pressure of the pillow on one
or both sides of the head while sleep
ing. And just here comes a fact worth
remembering. If the forehead has es
caped wrinkles, crow's feet are prema
turely seen about the corners of the
eyes. We all see the crow's feet in
Uien and women whose brows are
smooth and young looking. They are
the result of sleeping on the right and
left sides. The pressure upon the
temple and cheek leaves wrinkles at
the corners and underneath the eyes
which disappear in a few hours, but
finally become so fixed that neither
hours nor ablutions will abate them.
An Only Daughter Cured of
Consumption.
When death was hourly expected, all
remedies having failed, and Dr. H.
James was experimenting with the many
herbs of Calcutta, he accidentally made
a preparation which cured his only child
of consumption. His child is now in
this country and enjoying the best of
health. He has proved to the world that
consumption can be positively and per
manently cured. The doctor now gives
this recipe free, only asking two 2-cent
stamps to pay expenses. The herb also
cures night sweats, nausea at the stomach,
and will break up a fresh cold in twenty
four hours. Address Craddock & Co.,

[Rochroter Democrat ani Chronielt],
WP published In our local columns yester

nearly every person in the land. We have
received a number of letters 'protesting
against the u e of our columns for such "pal

Its sentiments, a reporter of this paper was
commissioned to ascertain all the possible
facts in the matter. Accordingly he visited
Clifton Bprtngs, saw the author of the letter,
and with the following result:

Drawing Ih© morning Democrat ami
Chronicle from his pocket, the reporter re
market!: "Doctor, that letter of yours has
created a good deal of talk, and many of our
readers Ims questioned its authenticity."
"To what do you refer," remarked the doc
tor.
"Have you not seen the paper ?*'
"Yes, but 1 have not had time to read It
yet."
The reporter thereupon show, d him the
letter, which was as follows;
CLIKTON SPRINGS SANITARICM CO., 1
CI.UTON SPRINGS, N. Y., Oct. 11. ixs:t. j
Dear Sir: I am using Warner's Safe Cure,

forms of kidney disease that we have. lam
watching with great care feme I am

able results.
1 wish you might cotne down yourself, as
I would like very much to talk with you
about your sterling remedy and show you
over our institution.
Yours truly,
[Signed] HENRY FOSTER, M. D.
"I do not see why anybody should be skep
tical concerning that letter," remarked the
doctor.
"isn't it unusual for a physician of your
standing nnl influence to commend a pro
prietary preparation (
"1 don't know how it may be with others,but
in this institution we allow no person to die
tnte to us went we shall use. Our purpo eis

anything we kn >w to be valuable. Because
1 know Warner's Safe Cure is a very valua

is manifested under my use, so shall I aid to
the complete no s of my commendation."
"Have you ever analyzed it, doctorf"
"We always analyze before we try any
preparation of which we do not know the
constltuenta. But analysis, you know, only
gives the elements; it does not give the all im
portant proportions. The remarkable power
of Warner's Fafe Cure undoubtedly consists
in the proportions according to which itse'e
ments are mixed." While there may be a
thousand retnedie? made of the same ele

him on the excellence of his preparations. I
have heard much of him as the founder of the
Warner Observat ry. and as a man of large
benevolence. Th- d high character of
the man himself gave assurance to me in the

Mr. Ohablfh W. Mobutu, "Fugle" office,
Fittsfleld, Mass., writes. May 25, l>-'ftrt: "For
several inonthi my wife's mother iMrs. Amy
Boyro) had been in a very precarious condi
tion with dropsy or Fright's disease of the
kidneys, and having nsod all methods and
measures for her restoration in the line of
treatment by our leading physicians, and
having failed to benefit l er, her family de
spaired of seeing her relieved, and gave her
up to die. Happening to run across the tes
timony of a Mrs. Dawloy, who had been cured
of similar sickness by using Hunt's Remedy,
we at onco procured s botllo of it, and com
menced giving it as directed. After using it
threo days she was so far improved that, she
could get from her bed to her chair without
assistance (a circumstance that had not hap
pened for months). Previous to taking it
she wag troubled more or less with short
breath, requiring a continuous fanning io
keep her alive. This gradually improved as
we continued the use of Hunt's Remt dy, and
on the fourth bottle she was able to set np all
day. She was bloated terribly in both limbs
and body upward to the lungs. The tenth
day the bloating left her bowels, end now she
is not swollen above the knees. Her kidneys
were very bad at the time, discharges being
of a bloody character and emitting a sicken
ing odor. I can say that the change in her
case has been wonderful, and Hunt's Remedy
has worked a miraele in her."

BAD, BAD, BAD BLOOD7
Some blood is bad because it is poor and weak. Some is bad because
it contains impurities. Some men have such bad blood that the wonder is
it does not poison the mosquitoes who come to bite them.
The rich red color of good blood is owing to the iron which is present.
Blood which has not enough iron in it is always unsatisfactory. The per
son in whose veins it circulates cannot be said to enjoy good health.
The efforts of expert chemists to produce a preparation of iron which
can be assimilated with the blood ha rt resulted in that perfect preparation
which is an important part of Brown's Iron Bitters. It is the only one
which freely enters into the blood. It is the only one which accomplished
the desired good. ...
Weak, poor, thin blood may be made rich and strong, and impure
blood may be purified by the use of that Great Iron Medicine Br J:, u's
Iron Bitters. i . ~ "~~ r : **" ~ v 8 —■ —~
