--, A QUAINT OLD CITT Where Sir Waller Raleigh Once Lived 1 and Ruled and V here EDMJKD SPEKSER WON HIS WIFE. A'LoTely Spot in Ireland Hallowed bj the Memories of IfiE POETS AXD COUETIEES OP OLD lCORKESrOTECE or Tint sisrxTCH.) Maxlow, Ikelasd, May 27. About a pood day's tramp east of Cork along the sea is the sleepiest old city in all Ireland. This is Youghal. Eochaill, or "the wood of the yews," is its true Irish name; for some where bJtween 20 and SO centuries aCo, when the Milesians were prowjing about here in their leather-bottom curraghs, the surpassing loyeliness of the harbor- scene was crowned by a noble forest of yews, and these swept from the western heights in billowy corves down to the very edge of the romantio Blackwater, which here reposeful finds its estuary and the sea. The little old city winds alone the Black water shore in practically a single street with moldy warehouses and idle wharves at the one side and with cavernous shops at the other, behind which, like brown gipsy tents in a mountain jungle of fragrance,cen tury old cabins,mansions and villas are hid den in a mass of foliage and bloom. No one can tell why Youghal is here. Your eye may sweep the wide, sunny harbor to the seahor ixon in vain for glimpse of a single saiL Even the great round sun looks in from above the ocean over the rippleless bay as if with passing, pressing demand for recogni tion in reiponsive life. The white walls of the shops.pierced with diminutive windows, are glaring and dulL There is no sound of footfall upon the stone of pave or street Wooden blinds are drawn and barred. If there be life within the shadowy silences behind window and door, it must only be perturbed that the stillness may never end. There is not even at old Youghal life leftin tephvr or breeze to shake the odors and scents from the buds and blossoms of spring. But there is a transcendent smile upon the face of Youghal dead, or in trance. Only in tropic land are such skies, such palpable throbbmgs of nature's lavish life that will pulse and thrill despite the sleep of human activities, such miracle in foliage, marvel in plant and shrub, and such delicious languor in breath of myriad perfumed flower. And it was an old, old mansion so banked with myrtle, so bhaded by yews, and so matted and massed by ivy that it could hardly be found by a tip-toeing stranger in the voiceless city that I had tramped all the way from hospitable Cork to see. SIE WALTER BAXEIOH'S HOME. Bnt there it stood, this old home of Sir "Walter Baleigh, as lovely a picture as one would wish to see; lovelier to-day, no doubt, with its ivy-rounded gables than in the wild and austere time in which it was built, when the vengeance oi the Desmonds red dened the fair valleys oi the Bride and Blackwater with the crimson wine of war. This fine old house, although it has under gone many changes and "restorations," is more than 400 years old; for the structure is the identical one originally founded as a collegiate establishment by the Earl of Desmond in 1461, and was attached to the Church of St. Mary, which dates back to the thirteenth century. At the foundation of the house the establishment consisted of "a warden, eight fellows, eightsingingmen, and the endowment was 600 per year." Raleigh's first visit to Ireland, like those of a long and illustrious line ot English men before and since, was as a soldier of fortune. He first came as captain in a body of trooDS sent from Eneland in 1579 to as sist Deputy Lord Gray do "Wilton in quell ine the dangerous Desmond rebellion. His intrepidity, remorselessness and still were qualities which were in demand at Eliza beth's court, and Baleigh's fortunate favor there, under the brilliant and profligate Dudley, shortly gave him 12,000 acres of land about Youghal, in one patent, and un der another, in 1586, under the Queen's privy seal, an additional three seigniories and a half were granted in the counties of Cork andWaterford. This was Baleigh's splendid porlion of the most heartless con fiscation and plunder which ever occurred in any land. Ear the vanquished Earl of Desmond was the greatest, noblest and richest subject of that time in all Europe. Exclusive of his own subject vassals he had over 500 gentlemen of his kindred and sur name; no equal portion of Europe was so dotted with noble castles and armed and provisioned fortresses, and so rich in the fruits of cultivation; while the confiscation of his estates, at bis attainder, comprised nearly 600,000 English 3cres, all of which were parceled out "to Elizabeth's victorious foragers. HE PLTOfDEBED THE UtlSH. "With whatever admiration we may con template Baleigh's splendid genius and his daring and eventful career, or with however much commiseration deplore his melancholy and cruel taking off, it cannot be gainsaid that through his share of this colossal Irish Jriunder was first provided the means which argely aided, if not actually made possible, the impressive exercise of his tremendous and intrepid energies; a fortune so out of proportion to all just deserts that he was en abled at one time to encase his feet in diamond-studded shoes whose cost exceeded $80,000! It is difficult to determine just how many years Baleigh occupied this fine old man sion at YoughaL But it is certain it was always more or less his loved retreat between 1586 and 1602, when by deed to the crafty Bichard Boyle, afterward Earl of Cork, for an ignoble sum, he disposed of his entire vast Irish estates; and it is also certain that Sir Walter retired to this spot after his quarrel with the Earl of Essex, in 1597, at the taking of Eayal, in the Azores, which afterward contributed to the downfall of Essex, until Rale'gh becime the English Ambassador to the Netherlands in 1600. To these visits and this residence the world un doubtedly owes its knowledge of the gentle poet, Edmund Spenser. The latter, like Baleigh, was a court follower in a small way, and his real or imaginary services to the adherents of Queen Bess, bad secured for him a pat ent of dreary old Kilcolman Castle and manor of about 3,000 acres, some 25 miles to the north of Baleigh's home, in the val ley of the Blackwater; but, unlike Baleigh, no fortune or power, and little else' in mate rial sense save loss, tragedy and final pov erty and distress, came from Spenser's little portion of the Desmond confiscation. But Baleigh, genius and poet that he himself was, generously recognized the greater poet's true greatness, wanned bis heart with sunny hospitalities, sustained his doubtful dreamings with a strong and heartsome friendship, and, in 1589, bodily took the timorous Spenser to London, personally in troduced him to the Queen, and that very year saw the publication ot the first three books of "Eaerie Qneene." TTHEBE SPENSEE I.IVED. The old house at Youghal is still occu pied. It is owned by, and is the residence nf. the widow and family of the late Colonel Eaunt, who purchased it from the Duke of Devonshire. As it stands to-day, it is a singularly apt Illustration of the now scarce Elizabethan manor houses; and at first glance one instinctively recalls Hawthorne's "House of "the Seven Gables," or rather identifies this mossy old structure in the mind with Hawthorne's idealized house at Salem; tfor the Baleigh house has just seven gables, almost wholly bidden by ivy, which has completely enfolded the quaint old J'lace in such embrace that, in many places, t would almost seem that its guarded branches-would in time twist and crnsh the walls into a ruined mass. Three gables are on each side, and one forms a Queer old peak in front Immense chimneys rise be- I twees the side fables, and one in .front, J above and behind the bay window of Baleigh's study, pushes up to a great height, the ivv winding about it in swirls of foliage, until it bears a startling resem blance to a diminutive, ivy-clad round tower set up on the peak of some gray old crag. There is no doubt that below this fairy tower Baleigh composed a number of those works which would have given his name the greatest luster with posterity as a writer had not his close association with the material activities of his time remorselessly linked his name with those of the great sol diers, discoverers and court diplomats of the Elizabethan era. For here Spenser knew and loved his "priceless friend" and brother poet, whom he named "the summer night ingale," and set the seal of his own fine judgment upon Baleigh's poetical power, in the line admitting no doubt of his genius, "Himself e as skillful in that art as any" A lOVELT OLD CITT. I feel sure that anyone after loitering about the lovely, leafy, silent old city of Youghal, and then enjoying the glories of the Blackwater with those of its sweet and murmurous tributary, the Awbeg, andafter a tramp from old Doneraile town set like a squalid cipsy,encampment amid gorgeous natural environs, to the level tract where stand the ruins of Kilcolman castle would agree with me in pronouncing the place one of the loneliest spots in all Ireland. A vast vale surrounds it; but as far as the eye can reach there is scarcely a sign of human hab itation. The once noble forests have disap peared; only one little lake to the south can be seen; and searching in vain for sight or sound of human activity or nearness, only the gray of a far horizon-edge settles leaden ly down upon the Waterford Mountains to the east, the heights of Kerry to the west, the Nagle Mountains to the south, and the Ballyhowra hills to the north. It is said from the top of the castle a view of above half the breadth of Ireland was once com manded. If there was compensation in that in Spenser's time, it could hardly be found now. Kilcolman, or Cill-Colman in Irish, means Colman's Church. There were above 60 saints Colman, and any of these, to one's liking, may be taken as the patron saint of this particular townland locality. The castle, as the ruins indicate, however remote its date of construction, must have been one of strength and importance. The lower por tion of the great quadrangular keep is in a good state of preservation for about 30 feet lrom the ground; one of its side walls, showing a noble window, rises solidly and firmly for perhaps 25 feet above this; and a massive square flanking tower still lifts its rough old walls to a probable height of 70 feet It must have been a weird and dreary place for one of Spenser's fine nature. a poet's love. But two things of the gravest importance to poet, prince or peasant came to this man in nis 11 years of practical banishment here, between 1587 and 1599. The first of these was the chastening and exalting influence of absolute self-denial.. The second was in his wooing and marrying a woman "of mean birth," who was so loyal, sweet and good that Spenser never knew an unhappy hour on her account during his life, more power to women "of mean birth" for it .These two good fortunes, despite bitter financial straits on the one hand, and on the other Irish "rebellions" of such startling fre quency that every far Jine of trees, like trembling siiouttes against the horizon, undoubtedly took on the form of Desmond and Tyrone avengers, made him sing as no English poet before or since ever sung. And in these true things of his life lay the compensations for the later days of poverty in London, where, as the sequel proved, English indifference was more fatal than Irish savagery, brought him nothing save the loyalty of his companion "of mean birth;" and he was allowed to die in want in the land he had more infinitely honored than any other who ever lived in it, save Shakespeare. There is but little here to remind of Spenser now. So desolate is old Kilcolman and devoid of suggestive association the region roundabout, that the pilgrim hither must perforce bring Spenser along in his heart, and build the entire fabric of life, home and haunts from his own loving fancy. Only one real and sweet thingremains which will always remain as if revealing the radi ance of the poet's gentle presence. That is the little river, Awbeg, the "Mulla" of his joyous verse; more joyous and melodious ever as it sings of him who sung on its sunny, beauteous way to the Blackwater and the sea. Edgab L. Watct-.tstax. A WICKED INVENTION. A Bartender of Genius Flashes a New Drink Upon the World. From the Milwaukee News. J A genius burst upon the world last week. He is a bartender and he makes a new drink. This new drink has been called a "Business Brace." Of course there are hundreds of imitations of it already in the market in the East, and it is one of the humiliating things in our country that we cannot patent a mixed drink. Some imitator has published what purports to be the recipe of this drink, and fraudulent "Braces" are being served ont now at the most popular bars. I have taken the trouble to ascertain what the original and only "Brace" Is composed of, and here are the in gredients: Half a pint of champagne, a pony of brandy, two lumps of sugar, six drops of Angostura bitters, a thimbleful of gin, six drops of citric acid and a bit of lemon peek An Active Member, However. Truth.: A small boy not more than 8 years old was relating to his mamma the scheme of a new society at his boarding school. "It's the Amaranth," said he, "and you get fined 1 cent for slang and 2 cents for swearing. I owe 2 cents. I said 'damn.' Will you pay it?" "Yes," replied bis mamma; "tell me more about it." "Well, we've got a President and a Vice President, and an editor editors are awful sharp and a treasurer." "And you, Cnarlie, what are you?" "Me?" with much surprise; "oh, I'm only a swearer; I pay in." Fine WhlakTes. Ill 1855, Pure Eye Whisky, full quarts $2 00 18b0.

Easiness Scotched but Not Killed by the Conemangh Calamity. TIPS ON EEAL ESTATE DEALS. New Homes Projected and a Word About Diamond Street Improvement. MABTPE0PLETDENT0 L1FEINSDEANCE Thi business history of last week has al ready been written. The Johnstown calam ity knocked the life out of it Yesterday it showed signs of recovery, but it will he some time before it gets fairly on its feet again. Stocks were dull and weak all through. The total sales amounting to Wy 2,403 shares of which Pittsburg Traction furnished nearly one-half, followed by Philadelphia Gas with 550. Oil was in the same condition as stocks. Bealty was fairly active, a number of im portant deals being made. The number of deeds recorded was 208, representing $502, 102. There was a fair movement in mort gages, one being placed at i per cent, the lowest rate on record for home money. The number placed during theweekwasl88,of the value of 5850,897. Thelargestwere:$S5iO00,fl5,O00, $14,625, $10,375, J10,000, and nine from $5,000 to 3.000. V A tip was given yesterday of a 510,000 deal on Penn avenue, but neither the nature nor the location of the property could be ascertained. The renewal of interest on this great thorough fare, after an almost total collapse, is one of the signs ot the times, and should impress property-holders with the fact that fancy prices un der ordinary circumstances are about the same as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Next to Penn avenue Squirrel Hill and Oak land have been the chief centers of interest in the real estate market. But this should not be taken to mean that other districts have been neglected. Whllemoney fsabundantand cheap, there need be no fear that lands and houses will go a-begging for purchasers. The new buildings at the corner ot Wood and Diamond streets will soon be under root They wiU cost probably 550,000. Other costly improvements 'on Diamond street are in con templation. Every day adds to the cost of the proposed improvement What are its friends dofngT It is a good rule never to put off tin to morrow what can be done to-day. The way to improve Diamond street is to improve it Talk Is good, but action is better. A public neces sity like this should not be suffered to lapse into Innocuous desuetude. "Economy" has written to THE DISPATCH as follows: 4,I think the Pennsylvania Railroad Company would save money and increase its dividends by instructing its engineers and fire men on the local accommodation trains, and perhaps others, to use less coal They seem to think that the maximum, pressure of steam all the time is necessary to make schedule time. The result is that a great deal more steam is generated than is needed. A train never stops at a station without "blowing off,' and it is nearly always 'blowing off on the run. This excess ot motive power involves a great waste fuel. I have estimated that it amounts to fully 5 per cent Of course enough steam is needed to pull the trains on time, but there is no reason why it should be wasted. In my judgment and I have had considerable expe rience a mean between maximum and mini mum pressure would be about the right thing. As econdmy of fuel is an important matter, both to the road and Its patrons, as the cheaper trams can be run the lower the fares, I trust the officials of the company will give the above sug gestions some thought" The life insurance interest is reviving since the Johnstown disaster. The uncertainty of life, as exemplified in that awful calamity, has caused many to think seriously and take steps for the protection of their families. An agent said yesterday: "I havodone more business the past week than during the rest of the year. Heretofore I have been compelled to go to people; now they come to me. Whenever a man gets Into a serious frame ot mind, he at once thinks about life insurance. I have filled out five policies to-day for amounts ranging from 15,000 to $10,000. The latter is our limit Young married men just starting in business, and clerks take the lead. By this fore-thought in case they should suddenly be cut off, they put their families beyond the reach of want If every man would do this there would be far less misery in the world. There comes a cus tomer now. Good day." Building operations showed very little falling off last week, notwithstanding the depression in business caused by the flood. Legal authority was given for the construction of 41 houses at an estimated cost of $143,603. The largest per mit taken out was by the Chautauqua Lake Ice Company for three additional stories to their ice depot in the Ninth ward, to cost 842.000. The next largest was by the St Nicholas Catholic Church for a three-story brick building in the Twenty-seventh ward, the cost of which is esti mated at 20,000. The large majority of the permits were forsmallandmedium sized dwell ings. The record is very good for an off week. A long-needed Improvement in traveling fa cilities has just been effected in the shape ot an omnibus line, running from Hazelwond sta tion up the avenue to the cemetery on the top of the hill. This supplies a want that has long been felt by the citizens of that section, and will no doubt be the means of Increasing busi ness and enhancing the value of property along Hazelwood avenue. Apropos of this, it may be stated that wherever Improved transit rapid or otherwise, has been introduced in any of the districts around Pittsburg it has been almost immediately followed by a large increase of population and better prices for land. This fact should encourage the traction companies to extend their lines as fast as posslbln. EEADI FOE EETITAL. The Stock Market Wind Up the Week Dull and featureless. The stock market was in the dumps worse than ever yesterday, especially for Saturday. It was all figures and no business. The only sale being that of 17 shares of Switch and Signal at 23, a decline. The tractions were a trifle firmer and the gatsersa shade weaker. The rest of the list was practically unchanged. A better market is looked for this week, as a large number of orders are expected. It would require but a slight buyiwr movement to give stocks a boost On the other hand nothing les than a general bear raid would pull them down, as prices are about as near bottom as they can well get There was the usual demand for bank and insurance stocks, but figures were too wide apart to effect sales.

The first sale was at 82, the highest point of tbe day. The market then dropped to 82, around which it hung the rest of the day, and at which it closed. Trading was light and scalping un profitable, owing to the narrow range of fluc tuations. While waiting for something to turn up some of tbe boys killed time by playing dominoes.

Bearish Influences Depress the Market nnd Almost the Entire List Closes Lower Gold Exports and Bank State ment Wet Blankets. New York, June 8. The stock market was 'dull to-day, and, while showing some strength at first became weak In all its departments, and the result of the trading was to leave al most everything on the list fractionally lower than lasteveninc. The reports of new troubles in rates in the West and Northwest had the effect of making a very ragged opening, and, while the changes from last evening's figures were fairly divided between gains and losses, the important differences were in the direction of lower figures and Jersey Central was down and New England and Northern Pacific per cent each. There was an active manipula tion of the Gould stocks, andWabash preferred became one of the leaders in point of activity, and, with Missouri Pacific, showed the way in the limited upward movement which followed the first sales. The rest of the list sympathized to a limited extent, though Jersey Central and the Vanderbilts displayed positive strength. In the Vanderbilts there were rumors of a probable capitalization of the betterments on the New York Central and a probable extra dividend this year. The upward movement however, did not extend much beyond the first hour, and the influence of the exports of gold began to bo felt and when the bank statement was issued, showing a loss of over 1,500,000 in reserve, the downward tendency became more pronounced and the early gains were soon wiped out most of the list going below tbe opening figures, Tbe trusts were not so active, and little strength was shown in them, their fluctuations being on par with those of the regu lar list The market finally closed with a fair degree of animation, but weak at the lowest prices. The Chesapeake and Ohio stocks were specially weak, and the common recorded a decline of 1 per cent but while tbe rest of the list is almost invariably lower to-night, the losses are for small fractions only. The dealings in railroad bonds were also small and unimportant and the movements without special significance. Tbe sales of all issues reached only 511,000, and the final prices, while generally in the direction of higher fig ures, snow few Important changes.

WHAT A LEMON PAETT IS. Latest Fad in Washington Squeezlom That Lead to Other Squeezing. It seems as if the poor little lemon had ar rived at tbe beighth of its usefulness when made to do duty, with the adjunct of 10 cents' worth of citric acid, for a barrel of lemonade; but now the "Progressive Lemon Party" is brought to the front, and here it plays a part unassisted by any chemical compounds of itself, says the Philadelphia Record. A prominent Washington lady issued invitations last week which read: MRS. JONES, At home Tuesday, 7r.lt, Please bring a lemon. Of course, everyone who received one of these mysterious summonses was consumed bv curiosity. It reminded one of the inci dent of a Southern Senator who received a card with the cabalistic letters signifying that the owner had "called in person." Not understanding the etiquette of Washington, he sent his card in return, with the letters "S. B. N." in one corner. What could it mean? No one seemed to know, so the re cipient determined to ascertain if possible. The next time he saw his friend he re marked: "Say, Senator, what do theletters 'S. B. N.'mean on your card?" "Why, sent by a'nigger, of course." After greeting each guest the hostess asked her to "take her lemon to the dining room and register." Tbe dining room was a blaze of golden light from the tiny fairy lamps with yellow shades. The dining table had lemon-colored silk napery, which was re lieved by flat center piece of delicate ferns and Catharine Hermet roses. At a side table sat a lady and gentleman, who, all were informed, composed tbe "Squeezing Committee." This committee took the name on a register, and tied a ribbon, marked in such a way as to be distinguish able, on each lemon. After the arrival of all the guests and the marking of all the lemons, they were invited to again as semble in the dining room while tbe "Squeezing Committee countedtthe seeds." Each lemon was cut in half, the seeds ex tracted, and, alter being counted and duly accredited to the owner on the register, they were placed in a beautiful transparent glass bowl. The lemon was taken by the "Squeezing Committee" and "squoze" into an immense punch-bowl. The guests were then invited to a repast of strictly lemon made edibles lemon ice, lemon ice cream, lemon cake, lemon jelly, sardines and lemon, lemon cream pie, and every concelvcsble sort of lemon flavored food. Placed beside each plate was a bunch of yellow ros.es tied with a satin bow of the same shade. After partaking of this unique repast, the glass bowleontaining the seeds was placed on the table and a prize offered to her who should guess the number of seeds therein, and a "booby prize" to him who should hazard the least accurate guess. After numerous methods, both fair and foul, had been resorted to, and each "guess" had been duly registered, tbe seeds were counted and the prizes awarded. The winner ot the grand prize, coming within three of the cor rect snmber, received an exquisite lemon colored class lemonade bowl, while the "booby" was made happy with a wooden lemon-squeezer. A prize was then awarded toiler whose lemon contained the most seeds, and other to her who had the fewest Mean while, skillful hands bad prepared a punch in the large bowl into which tbe lemons were squeezed. , QUEEtt COUNTESSES. A Cat Lover's Pet Goats A Countess ia a Circus. The Countess dela Torre, who used to make herself somewhat obnoxious with her tribe of cats in Kensington, is now sojourn ing at a small inn at Gerard's Cross with a flock of goats. The noble lady, clad posi , tively after the fashion of a herdswoman, in a full cotton skirt and blouse bodice, roams the country with her four-footed triends, sometimes, it is said, even sleeping among them at night, in truly pastoral fashion, says the Philadelphia Record.

There is a lively stir and excitement among the inhabitants of the Delaware Blver Valley, near Lordvllle and iSquinunk stations, on the Erie Railroad, over the actions of a peculiar religious body there, who call themselves "Holiness People," and who practice the faith cure. A large sect has been established, bnt the general community is decidedly against the scheme, and threats of summary chastisement of the leaders have been made. The disposition of the wrecks of the Van dalla and Trenton, which were destroyed at Apia, Samoa, has been under consideration by tbe Navy -Department Admiral Kimberly recommended that the ships be abandoned, and it is likely they will be. By using the divtag apparatus of the British sbip Calliope many valuables of both ships were saved, and with tbe assistance of the natives, who are natural divers, all the guns of both ships were secured. Captain George A. Annos, tho retired army officer who assaulted Governor Beaver in Washington last March, is a lucky man. The eourt martial which tried him for the assault on the Governor, and for various offenses com mitted on March 4, sentenced bim to dismissal, but the President commuted tbe sentence to deprivation of the right to wear his uniform for five years and he confined for the same period within limits prescribed by tbe Secre tary f War.

Mr. Walker Blaine, lowever, made a positive Gonial that tbe cablegram bad been sent- "Tlierejis no trnxn in tne story.-- ne saia. "No charges have Do8n made to the depart ment again st Mr. Egan, and until they are tbe Secretary will-take no action. Beside, it would be very foolish to send-a cablegram to a man who Is on tho water, only half way to his des tination." Asensatlcn was caused at San Francisco yesterday by the .disclosure that .Morns C. Baum. a prominent Republican politician and Secretary of th 1 "Republican Connty Commit tee, was a fugitit'e in Europe.havniglert behind 110,000 in notes hearingaorged indorsements.

Por many reasons it was a actable inter view that the writer had wittf "Hr. John Q. Frazier, the architect In the first placs Mr. Frazier is well known in Pittsburg and Allegheny. He was for many years a resi dent of Allegheny, and is now and has bees for some time living at 6710 Kirkwood street, Pittsburg;. Mr. Frazier is the archi tect in charge of that mammoth building enterprise of Messrs. Tlynn, McGee and Stewart, in; erecting a hundred brick house at thecornerof Stanton andNayloravennes. So, as stated, he is well known at the Eas End, where he now lives, as well as in Al legheny, his former homef The interview U notable in the second place for the remark able experience it describes. Mr. Frazier! fast-failing health had convinced him and his friends that he would have to give op entirely the dnties which engaged him. "You see," he explained, "I was steadily and constantly losing in flesh and strength. In a few months I had fallen nway over 25 pounds. My appetite failed me. I could get so sleep. I was unfit for work, unfit for everything. In the morning I would get up feeling more tired and miserable than whea I went to bed at night. I dreaded the slightest exertion; didn't feel like seeing or talking to anybody. I was nervous, weak, irritable and despondent just managed t Mr. John G. frazier, STN Kirhcood Street. drag myself through my work that wa alL It seemed as if I did not have strength or ambition enough to live. "How did it come on? Well, that is a long story. It is four or five years since it begun. It seemed to commence with a cold, or rather a succession of colds. My head got to be continually affected. My eyes be gan to tronble me. At last I realized that I was getting deaf. For over three months I eonldhardly hear any thing at all. Mj eyes became dim and watery. They grew so weak that I could hardly see to read and had to wear glasses. "For two years or more I realized that this catarrhal trouble was extending; and it has been within the last two years that I begun to experience its constitutional effect and could see, -as my friends could, that I was fast going down. For eighteen months at least I suffered from continual pains in the head sometimes they were dull pains over tbe eyes, sometimes sharp pains in the back part of my head. . "My ppetite and sleep rwere gone. Z lost flesh, as I have said. There was diffi culty in breathing, and a sense of weight and oppression on my chest What little I did eat did not seem to agree with me. My stomach would feel as if it was overloaded as if there was a weight on it The sense of taste and smell seemed to be gone. I was so weak I could hardly get around. 31 j muscles ielt as if tbey had wasted away, -- "Try to get help? I tried everything and everybody, but all to no purpose. X kept steadily getting weaker and worse. I had read fn the papers of the work that was being done toy Drs. opeland & Blair. I went to see them. Their charges seemed to me to be merely nom inal, tbey were so low. I placed myself under their care. "Welt in the first three weeks I gained six itounds In flesh. I improved steadily. Afyap. petite returned. I gotsound, refreshing nights ol .sleep, and woke up in the morning feeling res-ted and strong. My hearing was entirely restored, Myyes became strong again and I have laid away my glasses, having no further use iter them. I feel now strong and welt like anotfter man, and am very grateful to the doc tors 1 or my restoration. I make this statement becan.se I think I ought to make it fori firmly believe they are doing good." Publishing Names.

While such publication is made each week in the daily papers, and the name and ad dress of the)atient given, so that the state ment can be easily verified and substanti ated by an von e, it should be said that sH .such statements are entirely voluntary. "I should like to be treated," a lady re marked the other day, "but I would not like to have' my .name jn tbe paper." Let it be stated that Drs. Copeland Ss Blair never publish a name or statement without the full and free c-nnsent of the patient, nor do they publish one hundredth part of the testimonials, Ie&ers nnd statements re ceived by them from crateXol patients. As ob served, the statement 1 given are entirely volun tary, and are given by tbe patients for publica tion. Drs. Copeland & Blair would never pub lish the most emphatic testimonial nnless tho patient giving it understood that it was to be printed, and gave willin,; consent When & person with a delicate constitu tion has a tendency to catarrh or consump tion whether this tendency is inherited or results from taking cold aisily it is notice able that that person invariably loses flesh, and loses strength, showing that the nutri tion is interfered -with. In such a case the sufferer should at once be placed under in fluences that will restore the defective nutrition and tend to invigorate the const! tution. It is to be remembered that in every case the presence of catarrh is an evidence of predisposition to consumption, and no matter how alight the attack may be. it should be treated with the greatest care and the treat ment should be continued until all traces of the catarrh have disappeared.
