HOME TESTIMONY.
I was sorely afflicted tt Ith one of the most distres
sing ot all olseases, Prurltu- or Prurigo, or moro
commonly known as Itching Piles. Tbe Itching at
times was almost int. lerabie, increased by scratch
ing, and not unfreauently became Quite sore. 1
bought a box of Miayne's Olulmenl; Its use gave
nulck relief, and lu short time made a Derfecl cure.
1 can now bleep undbdurbed, and I would advlt.0 all
who are sufteilng tilth this distressing complaint to
procure stvajne's Ointment at once. . I had. tried

THE LUCKY LAUCENY.
A LAWYER'S 6TORY.
Mr. Courtney was a rich old bachelor,and
the .uncle of n couple of nephews the ono
a biother's and the other a Bister's son.
These two were his next, of kin, legally en-
tliieu,tin case lie uieu intestate, to inncni,
his property.
Edward Horton, his, deceased sister's son.
wa? decidedly his favorite, and to him tho
old gentleman resolved to givo the bulk of
hU estate.
Charles Courtney, the older nephew, had
inherited a handsomo fortune from bis fath
er, and, moreover, by his uncle's will, was
entitled to succeed to that left to his cousin.
in the event of the latter's dying without
issue.
Old Mr, Courtney was one of tho halest
of bachelors, when It was suddenly an
nounced, not only that he was dead, but
that foul play was luspected. A post-mortem
examination demonstrated that ho had
fallen a victim to poison j and It was given
out that the hand that had administered it
was that of his favorite nephew, Tho pub
lie mind was naturally both surprised and
shocked.
It was not until Edward Horton had been
fully committed for trial for his uncle's
murder that I was retained to work up the
defence.
His own statement was, in substance, this:
iV physician had been called In to see Mr,
Courtney on the occasion of Borne apparent
ly trifling illness, requiring some Bimple
remedy.for winch a prescription was written
aud, Landed to the prisoner to havo mails up.
This the latter had carried io a well-known,
competent druggist, who had put it up in hie
presence, The medicine consisted of three
white powders, each folded in a scrap of pa
per.and the'whole inclosed in a single wrap
per. They were to be given at intervals of
an hour, and had remained continuously Id
the prisoner s possession till the first ttas ud.
ministered, which wat done by himself, im1
mediately on his return from the druggist's.
Mr, Courtney grew rapfdly worse and when
at tho expiration of an hour, n second pow
der was administered, the symptoms became
so alarming that a pietsenge'r was dispatched
for the physical!, who, on, his arrival, der
claroil that the patient was buffering from
the effects of poison. An examination of
the remaining powder disclosed (he fact that
tt was pure arpenlc, It was. too late for any
auttdote to be available, and In leas than au
hour death had relltvtd the sufferer, An
nutopsy of the body nnd mi analysis of tho
contents of tho Htouinchj left no tlouht on to
thd cause of death.. Tho jirescnce of arsenic,
In n necessarily fatal quantity, was Indlcntetl
by every known chemical lest. It Was fur
ther ndniltleil by tho prisoner that lie, alone;
had handled tho medicine from tho time It
was compounded by thn tlrugfiist till the com
ing of the pliysiclau,after the second powder
hatl been taken.,
The drug git. who tins kuown to bo aman
of extraordinary caution, and thoroughly
skilled In his, business, was ready, to swear
that by no po-jsibilily could any mistake
have occurred in putting up tlio medicine.
Tomako matters wnrse, It.trauspireil that
thh Btiilcablo relations between tlio tinclo
ami nephew had been somewhat disUtrbrd
nf lute, by retsun of an attachment of the
btler disapproved by tho former, who had
trnnc so far hs to tlireaten to chango his will
unltn his wl-shes wero rpspected.
"SVlio win in company with you from tho
timdynu received the medicine lilt you re
titrnrd to vottr unclo's house?" I asked the
ptisoner,d.perately groping after something'
t) arrord a my of hopo.
"No oiibj" he aiHivcrul, 'hut my Cousin
Cliarles, whom I iliel near tiie Uiugglt's,aiiil

lwurd, awaiting his return. - then walked
ni-iit urui nearly home, when Charles left
Ijalso reminded Edward that his uncle; be-,
ins: dead, If he also should die chlldlesa.
tiharlea would inherit tho whole estate.
"Ho did it I; he did it I" the young man
cried, in'n.pafaxysm of excitement too ear
nest to he counterfeit. 'He went out to get
tho poison when, ho left mo waiting. He put
it up to resemblo tho druggist's parcel, for
which he substituted It as he went along.
Villiau I know it now I I carried the par
cel in the right pocket of my overcoat, and
it wai oil Ihal side ho.walked 1'
I was seated in tny otlice tin the day pre
ceding that fixed for 'ho trial,, indulging in
anything but sanguine expectations, when a
rap at the door announced a visitor. It was
a detective whom I had employed.
"What is it?" I inquired, after closing
tho door
"I made au arrest, to-day 1" he answered,
'and in the prisoner's possession found this
overcoat,' undoing a package, he. had
brought.
".Well.?"
"In one of thojiockets I found this;" and
ho handed me a smail parcel, which I open
ed. ' , , ' .," '
Inside wero three papers, folded as drug
'gists put up their prescription?.
"The person with whom I found this coat,"
the detective continued, 'confesses that he
stole it from a biilard saloon, the owner hav
ing laid it asido while playing ; aud tho
date ho fixes corresponds with Sir. Court
'ney's murder. But wliat is more important,
I have ascertained that Charles Courtney it
the owner of the coat I'
"Let us at once proceed to the druggist's!"
rcxclalmed," sprinai'ng fr6ni my chair and
snatching up.niy hat'.
We were soon there.
"Please examlno that parcel," I said, put-
tin? It Into the druggist's hands.
He did so, carefully opering the papers'
and impeding their contents. They con
tained three white powders.
How do they correspond with those you
made up for Mr; Courtney;" I inquired, 'and
for which other seem to have been'sa mys-.
terlotisly snbitittited?'
"They do not cferrespond at all," he an
swered ; 'Ihey are tho same.'
"The samel How do you know that ?"
'liy thcpo figure," ho replied, pointing
to the Inside of one' of tho papers. 'I had
made a calculation that day on the sheet of
paper, part of which I used in putting up
the prescription bought by Mr. Edward Hor
ton. Tho remainder 'I have prcsrved, not
knowing but it might' becomo important.
Here it Is, and you see how this piece and
the figures fit it.'
They did exactly; the chain of evidence
was complete !
I need hardly tell how the trial ended.
Charles Courtney was called by tho prose
cution to prove some unimportant point.
Tho counsel whom I had retained for tho
defeuco' asked him but three questions on
cross-examination :
"Had ho accompanied the prisoner from
the druggi't's?" '
"Had he lost nn overcoat that day?"
"Was that it?" " '
Tho questions wero very simple, but tho
effect on the witness was most remarkable.
Ho trembled and turned pale. Ho knew his
secret was out, and that lying was useless.
He answered all threo questions in the af
firmative, but in n voico scarcely audible.
Ileforo tho next witness was called he supped
from tho court, and was never heard of after
ward.
With tho testimony of the detective and
tho druggist, not forgetting that of the thief
who stolo the overcoat, wo made short work
of nhnt had promised to bo 'a beautiful case
of circumstantial evidence.'
A French journal says that a tamous
French surgeon, lately deceaed, who was
brusque and unpolished, found, ou entering
his house ono day, an old priest who had
been bug waiting his return. ''What do
you vant of me?" "I want you to look at
this," meekly replied tho priest, taking off
an old woollen cravat, which revealed up
ou tbe nape of his neck a hideous tumor.
You'll have to die with that," coolly re
marked the surgeon. "I thank you, Doc
tor," simply replied the prieid, replacing
hU cravat, "and am much obliged to you
for warning luc, for I can prepare myself,
as well as my poor parishioners, who love
mo very much. ' The surgeon, who was
never astonished at great thtugi, looked Up
on this priest, who received his death sen
teuce unmoved, with amazement, and said i
"Come to-morrow, at, eight o'clock, to the
Hotel Dleu antt ask for me," Tlio priest
was prnnipt, lhc surgeon procured fb
him a special room, and inn month the
man wen( out cured, wiien leaving lie
took out of a sack thirty francs In small
change. "It Is all I have, to offer you, Doc
tor." ho said "I came here on loot frdm
Ptoueu In order to eavo thU." The doctor
looked at tho money, milled, and drawing a
handful of gold from his pocket, put It in
the bag along with the thirty francs, saying,
"It's for your poor," and the priest went
away. Some years later the surgeon feel
Ing death to lie near, bethought him of tho
nrieat. and wrote to him. Ho canto at once.
and tbe surgeon received at lilt hands the I
last consolation of religion.

Tlio experiments wero as follows : Tele-
phones having been connected with the ipri-
vale telegraphic line of the Boston P.ubbcr
ijhoe Compauy, conversation was at once
commenced. Stationed at the Boston end
oi the wire, 1'rolcssor Hell requested -Mr.
Watson, who was at the Maiden end, to
speak in loud tones, with a view of enabling
tlio entire company at once to distinguish
he sounds.
This was so successful that a smile of niln-
gled pleasuro and surprise played on the
features of those present. That it, however

Essential to inicIIiglhilify.Mr. Bell explained
that Boft tones could be heard across ho
vires even more distinctly than loud utter-
ances, even a whisper being audible. In
. - , - , , I
confirmation of this statement, Mr. Watson
commenced speaking in turn with each
inember of the company; and after the effi-
ciency ol this method had been proved to 1
the satisfaction of all, he took up a news'pa-
per and informed tho assemblage that gold
had closed the previous evening at New

this practical demonstration of the value bf

iich as: "Is it thawing .or freezing at Mai

wasable.td distinguish between the voices'

commenced speaking
This went ou for sometime, until, a lady
at the Maiden end tent the companv an in.

Business lu Ancient Pompeii.
Ono of the most interesting discoveries in
recent years at Pompeii was raado in 1876.
when a wooden .chest was brought to light
containing the business receipts of one L.
Creciliiu Jucundus. The chest crumbled to;
dust on exposure to the "air, but the .tablets'
ou which the receipts were wri'.teu have at
leneth nroved to be leplhln In mnnv !rmtMn.i
ces, and the result of a careful study of these,
tablets bv Momnisen and others has beeu to

of business. There was not nmorn? thB
Romans the same extensive system of shoos
as with us, supplying every possible article
of necessity or luxury, aud for this reason
there arose innumerable occasions of private I
persons desiring to dispose, of this or that ar
ticle, as for instance, a surplus of agrlcultu-
ral produce, old carts, plows, or even old,
and invalid slaves, as Cato recommends the
landowner to do. Tbe tablets in question
are dated, according to custom, by giving tho
names of tbe coueuls for tho year. The,'
greater part ol the dates (all between A. 1.,
53-62. A few aro as early as 15 and 27.
Mince mere is no more recent date than 02,
it becomes highly probable that the tablets
of Jucundus had been overwhelmed in tho'
earlier eruption of Vesuvius, The majority
of thejtablets are trlptychs', and are written
partly with letters on wax, spread on tha.
tablet, and partly in Ink ou the bare wood.

No Occupation. A Gpave Mistake,
We' recently read a sad letter from an am
bitious young man. He had been uulor
tunate in some respects, but life lay before
him, and be was'ambitious ; he experienced
however, a double misfortune in this world,
in which there is so mil'ch to do, from not
I knowing how to do anything. "My father,1
I he wrote, "did not think It worth while for
no to learn any trade or business." He
had been thrown on bis resources, and, al-
though now a man in stature and years, he
was a merolnfant in hi capacity to' earn a
living. How awkward 1. What a misfor-
tune I Ye,t puch cases frequently come under
6ur observation'; and they lead us to look
upon the culpability as very great, of any
parent who brings up a son without having
him practically and thoroughly instructed
in some way of earning an honest living.
Every man' should havo som profession or
trade; should know how to do something.
Then; 1)8 steadfastly pursues it or
not' uo Rt "mos an occupation to wuicu,

port'of himself and 'others who may be de-
pendent upon him. A practical know-noth

Gravel Drains.
J, Wilkinson, of Byron, 111., gives the fol
lowing method for making gravel drains
I dug in the usual manner, being partly filled
I with course gravel. He lays:
. "For ordinary laterals, or side drains,
rarely find the quantity of water to be con
I ducted requires more than one-fourth of
square loot as a section of the gravel In the
bottom of the drain, or six inches wide and
six in deptti. 1 nave, in my experiments,
found that a gravel drain, formed of pebbles
from tho buo of a kernel of wheat to that
of a partridge's egg, ids inches by six inches,
will convey in a level ditch four feet in
length as much water as will flow through
I section of two inch drain tile four feet
I length, aid plpo also to He ou a level bed.
ThUrulo may servo rs a guide to tbo inex
perienccd, I have, however, used of similar
I gravel in under drains, n cross stction of one
foot ilx inches each way, When shavings
arc convenient, I use them on the gravel.but
unless the soil returned on gravel is a verv
friable alluvial or muck soil, no covering is
required before the earth is returned. In
caso (lie veins break out of tho bank higher
than six inches abovo Jho dltcli bottom, tbe
depth should be increased so that it will
receive tbe lateral water directly lu tho grav-
el instead of tbe boII overlaying it. The
reasons are obvious. Until latterly 1 have
I found more difficulty in maintaining in tact
'he dlscbargo ends of malu gravel under-
I drains, than I havo where stones or tiles are
J ued but I am uow able ,to inal'o them

cr'"' a minute or so, "you had better giro

The baby Is still. Another hour passes
ithout a breath of noise. Becoming tired,

Toward midnight he comes to bed, nnd just

baby begins to scream at the top of his
lungs, There i no other course but (o

want you to see what Tommy H crying

Mr. Snow makes a desperate attempt to
aronp himself; as roininy stops to take
breath, lie fall to sleep again, leaving mo to

This is always the way. If I complain it
is; "Indeed, I am very sorry."
But should the very same thing occur tho
subsequent night, directly before his eyes,
very likely he would not see or know any
thing about it, unless it happened to inter

Some New Uemtdies.
Yesterday morning a couple of boys, might,
have been seen passing up Main street in a
solid procession. Qnooftbsm was shlvi
erine oD1i abaking. as if the ague meant to
wrench his joints apait, and tho other Wa
t-im bv the baud nnd kindly said
"Keep a stiff back bone, Tom tho cgua
neTer til,."
Tho sick boy wa9 taken ln the nUey where
an the justices of the peace. hold out. laid
down in an old box, straw packed around

frujt Btoro anj 8a;j .
1 "You know Tom don t you ?"
"Iller with the big feet?" queried the
clerki
"IIo's tho one. Well, he's got the awful-
est kindjust shaking u p the cobble stones
over in the nlley,"
"It's too bad," said the clerk.
"It's owful on him, and I came over lor
some Californy plumbs. Nothing knocks
I his ager so quick as plumbs. I've seen him
when bo couldn't speak cat three plumbs
and grow better right away.
"That's too soft too soft," replied the
I clerk, . "You ought to be in jail for lyiog.
"Sotno gum drops or a cocoanut plight
I help him," suggested tho lad,
I "flot out, 1 say I Go and feed him

al "Even au apple would do him good," per
listed the boy.
"Aren't you going out," yelled tho cleric,
as he made u rush, aud tbe boy. did go out.
He inado his way to the nlley, wnlked up to
the box, and catching Thomas by tbe hair
ho called out:
"Come, boost o'that?"
