Punchinello, '
the new comic paper, Is to make Us firt appear
ance early lu March. There is certainly no
moro dreary spectacle in life than that of a new
comic paper being established. It is almost as
dreary as the eight of a man perpetrating jokes
on bis dying bed, or to hear a witticism uttered
by the lips of a death s-neau. Just consider now
many we have had and how speedily thoy have
gone the way of all literary flesh that has been
found not to" pay ! Mr. Stevens, however, the
proprietor, acorns to be full of courage, and
entertains not the slightest suspicion that ho Is
leading a forlorn hope. There ought to be
enough material in New York to supply him,
even though Hans lireitmann be not here. If
Hans Brcitmann would only give a Dutch de
scription of tho CKcumcnical Council, what a
big thing that would be ! I say this for the edi
fication of Phlladelphlans. I haze never yet
met a New Yorker that knew who Hans Brcit
mann was.
The Thompson Picture.
Seventeen hundred of the Thompson pictures
have already been sold in New York. Tho col
lection was quite large enough, even after tho
nude and naughty ones had been weeded out, to
form the nucleus for a free art gallery. Only
New York don't seem to favor free art of any
kind, except the art of growing rich and spend
ing money. I suspect' that what lent the chief
interest to the collection was the "nude and
naughty" before mentioned. They were so ex
tremely indecorous that (as Uunyan tells us
commentators, in his school-boy days, did with
the worst parts of the heathen poets) tho
naughtiest of them were hung in a private cor
ner by themselves. Baba.

are certain will obtain a cordial recognition on
her benefit night. Whatever she does is well

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.
A -lrl Ntarved ta Death by Her Sinter Fatal
Consequences of Hygienic Treutiuent.
The case of the alleged starvation of Flora
-Stoddard at Brattleboro, Vt., by her half-sister,
Mrs. George C. Haskins, is one of the most ex
traordinary that ever darkened the criminal
Annals of Vermont, and is thus described in
tho Springfield liepublican: This girl's homo
was (at Worcester, Vermont, a lew miles
north of Montpelier. Flora went to Brattlo
boro last August at the earnest solicitation
of Mrs. Haskins, and from that time seems
to have been completely under the control
of that woman. The latter had lust gra
duated at the Hygienic Institute in New Jer
sey, where she had becomo infatuated with the
idea of living "bygienleally," that is, on oat
meal mixed up with cold water. This theory of
diet seems to have driven all else out of tho
woman's mind and heart, making her a cold,
unfeeling, systematically cruel being, laboring
under the "best of Intentions." Luder her
treatment Flora began to lose flesh and pine
away, though her sister Ellen declares that pre
viously she was a pretty healthy girl. Mrs.
Haskins asserts that Flora was free to leave at
any time, but doeliued to do so, n point which
the sister and mother do not discredit.
Early in November her sister Ellen visited
her and found the family living on this fare, and
wakes this statement:
About t o'clock we ate cir breakfast, which
consisted chiefly of potatoes, a bowl of raw
apple" some graham cakes, which Laura told
me herself she mixed with water and shortened
with mashed-up potatoes without any suit, and
a dish of apple sauce without any seasoning.
We had the same for dinner as we did for break
fast, with the exception of having some stewed
beans, cooked with nothing in them but clear
water, no salt, pork, or anything, and all we
had to eat on them was some of that apple
tauce without seasoning, instead of vinegar.
Her pudding was rice cooked in clear water,
was not salted or buttered, with nothing to eat
on it. We had no salt, butter, milk, meat,
pepper, vinegar, or anything of the kind on the
table. She would not allow Flora or Clara (her
child) to eat anything, not so much as an apple,
between meals. .
They ate twice a day. tho general time "beln
About 83 A. M. and 2 P. M. Laura (Mr?.
Haskins) told me when she got home from the
hygienic institute at New Jersey that she was
intending to allow her husband and Flora salt
. and cream to cat on their potatoes, and let them
live ns they have been living. But she said
that Flora declared that she would not live In
the hygienic style; she would starve first.
. U Jicn Laura said she was bound Flora eUould
live just as she did. Sho said she was quite
turbulent nt firt. but she bad got to le
quite docile now, and had got to be a pretty
good girl, and no on. She also said she had a
prettv good cow, that was the greatest temp
tation to Flora f.ho had, and she Immediately
Fold her.
Mrs. Hawkins' treatment of F.llen was vorv
rude. .Ian nary 17, tho latter visited her sinter
imain and was turned out of tho house by Mrs.
Haskins, without being allowed to see her. This
scene threw tho invalid Flora into almost her
la couching fit, and as 6hc begged to see bor
sister Ellen, the latter was finally sent for. With
a policeman she again npprouehed the house,
mid was allowed to see and comfort her sister.
The dvlng girl was lying in a tireless room, and
was still fed "hygicuieally" by the half sister,
who took occasion to remark that the suf
ferer had given her clothes to her. Ellen at once
roused the selectmen, and Flora was moved on
the following day to a neighbor's, tho sheriff and
doctor assisting. After the most comfortable
day of the whole sickness 6ho died in the after
noon. From the evidence before us it scorns unde
niable that the girl died through the hygienic
diet which her half sister so fanatically anil
cruelly, not to say criminally, enforced." Mrs.
Haskins deserves tho lunatic asylum, to sny the
least, and the town and medical authorities
must be very hard hearted, or they have slept
111 o' nights over their criminal ncgllgeuce.

The first and most important object was to oiror to
the aftllcted a remedy that was perfectly saTe, and
could be taken by adults children. Ignorant per
sons,, who pay no attention to dose, direction, or ad
vice, might reason, "That If a teaspoonful ta;en
occasionally did good, two would do better, and
perhaps a bottle would cure in a day."
Many have broken tlown their health by dissipa
tlon, and on this principle, but they had beuu iar
in doing so.
What I wonld have understood Is that no Injury
san arise from Its use. It is ns safe as any artlclo of
food, but patients must not expect any medicine to
rebuild a wrecked or shattered constitution in a lev?
days, and perhaps with a single bottle.
Notwithstanding the number or years I have tieen

lies against all discoveries and inventions in incdi

remedy to prolong life, or an Infallible cure for

be to withhold his knowledge ! We have yet to learn

are happy to state that it Is meeting with universal
favor. We wish to inform you of one instance
(among many) where your "Buchu" has worked
wonders. A man lu our country named J. B. Estell
had been suilerlug about tlvo years with gravel.
About six weeks ajro he bought of us one bottle of
your "Buchu." and before he was through with one
bottle lie passed a gravel that weighs eight grains,
which we now have on exhibition In our drug store.
He says tlmt he will never be without the "Buchu'

Hk.ak Sir: It Is with much pleasure that I write
you upon facts respecting myself. I do not know
hardly how to express myself. 1 have been for the
last ten or twelve years tho greatest sufferer man
could le and live ; but more sometimes than others.
The coninlaint whs tho ''kidneys" aud "bladder."
have been sometimes from twelve to fourteen hours,
and WHiited to make water every minute, and could
not Have consulted doctors, botn tn Aiassacnuseits
aud this Slate, and taken pills, I mar say by the
quart, also liquored medicines, but found no relief
from any, and got worse the last sis months. I was
so that 1 could scarcely get about. I could not rest
iileht or day. It would soou haveboen "all up" with
me, If I hart not seen your advertisement In the
Berkshire Courier, headed "Kidneys." I read
through, and thought I would try it I purchased
a bottle, out. miuu you, nau not mncu iiiiin in
it Why should I, when I had been trying
so many things aim coat me so mnchT cii
I began taking It and before I had taken the
llrst bottle 1 felt bitd; but I finished It and
iret another. By the time I took halt of the secoml
1 still got worse (apparently.) When I walked it
seemed as If my right kidney Was falling from Its
place, and I felt really bad. I felt so before I had
liuiHlied the seeoud, that 1 had made np my mind It
wns of no use trying any more and all this time the
"Buchu" was doing its worn, nut I din not Know it
so I gave It up and went to Hartford on Saturday to
one of the best doctors in the city. He said it was the
neck of the bladder, aud I should have to undergo
an operation. He gave me medicine, and I went home
quite downhearted. On Sunday I was Doable to go
to church. I had not taken any of his medicine, but
on mv return continued using tne uaciiu," ana in
the aiternoon t had the desired effect.
I cannot tell you all, but this is a true story of my
case, and vou are welcome to make such use of my
name ns you think proper. I am pretty well known
in r.crksliire; also in Connecticut. The advertise
meM saved me. Why not publish more? Tha
Springlieid Retwblican is a wide-spread paper. If
any one. witihes to see this wonder they can do ho. I
could write nil day, lint think I have said enough
this time, so I remain vour ever well-wisher.

A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS' STANDLNG.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 26, 1SGT.
H. T. Hdmbold, Ihvnpint:
Dhar sik: 1 have been a sufferer for upwards of
twenty years with gravel, bladder, and kidney affec
tions, during which time I have used various medi
cal preparations, and been under the treatment of
the most eminent physicians, experiencing bat little
relief. .
Having seen yonr preparations extensively adver
tised, I cousulted my family physician In regard to
using your Extract Iluchii.
I did tills because 1 had used all kinds of adver
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite iniurlous; in fact, I despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hercaiter unless I knew of the Ingredients. It was
this th'at prompted me to use vour remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, enbebs,
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phy
sician as an excellent combination, and, with his
advice, after an examination of the article aud con
sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it
I commenced to use it about eight months ago. at
which timo I was confined to my room.
From tho first bottle I was astonished and gratified
at the beneficial effect, and after using It three
weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing
to you a full statement or my case at the time, but
thought my improvement might only be temporary,
and therefore concluded to defer, and see lr It would
effect a perfect cure, knowing that It would be of
greater viilue to you and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure Is effected
alter using the remedy for flvo months.
I have not used any now for three mouths, and
feel as well In all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid or any unpleasant taste
and odor, a nice tonic and invlgorator of the system,
I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its uso In such affections.
