A Musical Bed.
The latest freak of a foreign visitor
to Paris, says a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press, is, without doubt,
the order for a musical bed. Such an
article of domestic comfort was
thought to be a myth, but an Indian
rajah has just ordered one from the
celebrated firm of Christopher Broth
ers. The bed is made of mahogany,
embossed with silver plates, artistically
carved to represent Venus and Cupid.
The ornamentation is principally in
the Indian style, but the carved roses
and intwined (lowers are planned on
the delicate French style that is so at
tractive. The value of the material
alone that has been used in the con
struction of this novel piece of furni
ture is 18,000 francs and before it is
completed it will be worth 60,003
franca.
The mattress is covered with light
Mue damask satin, and embroidered
with gold filagree silk. The act of re
clining upon this beautiful work starts
the musical box, which plays selections
from Gounod, "The Funeral March of
a Marionette" being the most attract
ive.
The greatest piece of mechanism yet
remains to be told. The spring mat
sets the musical box in motion con
nects al?o with each corner of the bed
ttead, where four figures of women
stand, carved life-size and puinted to
repre-tent living creatures. On being
started they gently wave the plumed
fans that are placed in their hands and
piove their eyes a naturally that a
csual observer might mistake them
for animated beings.
. Th'.n is somewhat a strange bed,
even for an Inuipn prince, but as the
world grows to appreciate the sight of
wealth more ana more in everyday
life, it is to be presumed , that many
innovations of this nature will find
their way into the mansions of the
wealthy.

TIIE "BLACK HAM' SOCIETY.
8.T.SS AXTD F1U OF A MT8TEB.I0TJS
ORDER IMT SPATS'.
An Orgnnlratlnn VHh 00,000 Member-.
Charged with Rtranga Crimea-Mare
Than l.OOO Arrest.
The London Telegraph, speaking of
the arrest of 1,000 members of the
"Black Hand" Society, gives this ac
count of an extraordinary organiza
tion which sprang up recently in
Spain:
Never since the prisons of the
French Revolution sent its victims in
tumbrils to the guillotine has so mot
ley a crowd b 'en gathered within the
walls of a jail. Ordinarily noisome
enough, the Andalusian prisons have
now a close resemblance to the Black
Hole of Calcutta. Penned together in
the foul cells, tho floor covered with
dirty straw, with a loaf of hard bread
in one corner and a jug of muddy wa
ter in the other, lie, now moodily
silent, now swearing and jesting, for
bidden to throw dice or play cards,
these wild-eyed peasants, some of them
old and white-haired, with a blanket
thrown over them, others of them
young and stalwart, with a cloak
thrown jauntily over their shoulder.
Friends they had outside, for letters
and food found their way into their
midst; and sympathetic crowds gath
ered at the gatei howling for the re
lease of the prisoners.
There is no more lovely valley in the
world than that in which the city of
Xeres is placed. Luxuriant vegeta
tion fringes the rivers which traverse
it majestically. Vast herds feed on
the slopes. Wealth untold and still
unsought lies hidden in the rocky soil.
A patient population, accustomed to
poverty, till the fields in patience,
paying to others the fruit of their
labor, earning for themselves a scanty
subsistence. Middlemen of tho class
best known in Ireland and in Egypt
gather their rent or serve them with
notices of eviction. Their landlords
are grandees who live in Madrid, buz
zing round the court of the young
King Alfonso, never moved to visit
their territories in the South.
But there came a time when the
peasants refused to recognize the
claim of the land-owners refused to
pay rent to the middlemen. Civil
guards and sohliers were sent against
them. Then began a carnival of
crime. Robbery on the highway,
tattle-stealing, incendiarism, destruc
tion of vineyards, moonlight attacks
these were for months the burden of
the newspapers. Threatening letters
were received by the authorities; land
owners fled from the rural districts.
Among the wine-growers of Xeres the
socialist propaganda had been spread.
Many murders were reported in
lonely parts of the country;
dozens of people mysteriously dis
appeared. Judges came down
with extraordinary powers; civil
guards conducted the most rigid inves-tigation.-",
but nothing of. importance
could be learned. At last a servant
called on his master, told him that lie
was deputed by a secret society to kill
biui, and gave information where the
leaders of tho society might be found.
On the following night an attack was
made on a lonely farm; the assailants,
driven oft, left one of thdr number
bel i id, and he, being at the point of
death, made a confession attributing
the deed to the instigation of a secret
society.
Thus was discovered the organiza
tion of "The Black Hand." Its lead
ers were a schoolmaster, a smuggler
and a brigand. Its inspiration came
from the defunct "Internationale." Its
plan of action was to tempt the dis
contented operatives and farm laborers
into its ranks, offering them relief in
sickness or old ao;e, anl promising
thtt their material condition
should be improved. Within the circle
of casual recruits was formed an inner
circle, which gave itself the name
of "The Black Hand," and printed
a black hand on every warning missive
which i s -nt out. It held its sessions
by torchlight, the members wearing
masks. It decoyed its victims into
lonely glens, slew and buried them
there. It established secret juntas
over the entire region, and partly by
persuasion, partly by force, compelled
50,000 persons t o join its ranks. It
boasts that it ha l branches in Murcia,
Fstremalura and Portugal, and allies
In every socialistic society in the
world. But ai soon as the civil
guards wero on it track, and the
wholesale arrests that were made
proved the law to he in earnest, it
vanished as suddenly as it arose.
"Captain John's" Way.
"Capta.n John," of theBodie(Nev.)
Piutes, has hit upon a happy way of
curing the Indians of his tribe of
getting drunk. The Free Press says
that he keeps a long rope in his pri
vate otliee. and when the drunk reel
to the wickiup he is captured. John
calls on two of his lieutenants and
they march the prisoner to a deserted
shaft forty feet deep and lower him t )
the boom. Ho is kept there forty
eight hours. During the Indian's im
prisonment ho is fed on bread and
water. Captain John says that this
system of treatment will be thorough
ly tested, and if it fails to have the
desired effect some other plan will be
devised for destroying the taste for
Bodie whisky.

yonr ryes have fallen upon ma. Now that
we have met, pray cultivate the nrqnaint
anre, for it in iny purpose to interest and
nerve yon. )letween you and I, though only a
newspaper article, I am ambition. Having
a portentous message for all mankind, if it
be cordially received, its import truly real
ized and acted upon, I shall be considered a
world's benefactor. Could have no hiehor
ambition yon will admit.
A misanthrope of ample means deter
mined to end his life by drown in? himself.
Goinato the banks of the canal, found the
time not favorable for tho purpose, A num
ber of persons being in the vicinity, and day
light still present He concluded to walk
alontf the towpnth until it was dark. While
doine so, lie heard piteous cries ismiins from
the door of a hovel near by, and uncon
sciously walked over to the place, and found
a poor family consisting of a mother Bur
rounded by several children, who told him
of their sufferings for food. He took from
his pocket his wallet and hnndsd it to the
woman, reasoning with himself that he
would not need it. The grateful thanks and
prtiis a that ho received from the recipients
of his bounty awoke emotion in his breast,
of such a pleasurable character, that he
changed his suicidid intent and decided to
live for others. His future life becamo re
plete with good deeds many a dark home
and heart were made bright by his presence.
Well, my appearance in these columns,
springs simply from a desire on the part of
those I represent, to benefit your news-devouring
race. My province is to help you,
your friends, your relations, aye, even your
mother-in-law, if that interesting lady be not
already far beyond the pale of good influ
ences.
I am sent among men to bear tidings of a
discovery that marks an epoch as important
to the health of mankind as Newton s apple
and Frnnklin's kite were to natural science.
The sick, the discouraged, the dejected, tho
broken down, and the despairing, may now
all find a cure, certain as the Jordan proved
to the Syrian lepper. Jt is only necessary,
as in the case of that sufferer of old, to fol
low directions.
The agent which I herald builds np tho
system, sweeps the cobwebs from the brain,
and sends pure, invigorating blood dancing
through the arteries to the musio of happy
laughter.
The gloomy, wornout man of business, by
proper use of thia wonderful medicine, will
be enabled to meet trouble and reverses like
a man. Then, in perfect health, he will not
have abnormal views of tho "Vicissitudes of
fortune, which spares neither man, nor tho
proudest of his works, which buries empires
and cities in a common grave."
The weak and nervous woman, just able to
drag herself, in "moping melancholy"
through duties of the day, may Bteal the
bloom from blush rosos, and have eyes as
bright and sparkling as the dowdrops nest
ling in their leaves; and the poor little baby,
now disfigured with pimples and scabby
sore., may be made sweet, cool and whole
some a "that youngster of Mrs. Blank's,
across the way, v. hose family is always in a
glow of health." Don't you know the rea
son? "No." Then I will tell you. For
years your neighbor has nerer been without
jDr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This remedy is a medicine, not a beverage,
and is to be taken according to full and per
fectly plain directions accompanying each
botile. It is specific, but not a patent med
icine, and contains no vile narcotics or viler
liquor. It is a prescription used for years
by tho well-known physician, Dr. H. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., whose name is a
household word in innumerable homes all
over our own and foreign hinds. The
Golden Medical Discovery is prepared and
offered to the public by the World's Dispen
sary Medical Association, a body corporate,
existing by and under the laws of the State
of New York: its president is Dr. Pierce, the
great specialist in cbronio diseases. The
doctor has devoted the best years of a very
busy and wonderfully successful life to the
relief and cure of his suffering fellow men
and at a time when high political honors lay
broadly open before him, Dr. Pierce re
signed his seat in the Congress of the United
States, simply from a sense of duty toward
others. His associates in the great sanatar
ium represented to the doctor that the im
mense business of their association de
manded that his personal attention should be
paid to the great army of patients crowding
upon them from every clime. Dr. Pierce is
also the founder of the Invalids' Hotel at
Buffalo. N. Y. This establishment, possess
ing all the comforts and luxuries of a nrst
cluB American hotel, has in addition the
daily attendance of a large faculty of emi
nent specialists, whose practice collectively
cover the whole field of surgery and chronio
diseases. The laboratory in which Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is pre
pared is an object of interest and wonder.
It has a frontage of one hundred feet, a depth
of one hundred and twenty-live feet, and is
six stories high. In thi I mammoth and pa
latial workshop two hundred persons are
constantly employed in putting up Dr.
Pierce's Medicines.
While the Golden Medical Discovery's
curative effects are almost immediately felt,
it is not merely a temporary stimulant, but
is us certainly a safe and complete cure, in
all rases for which it is recommended, as it
is that certain misery and death will follow
their neglect. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery will not cure club feet, will not
refurnish armless or legless unfortunates
with new and perfect limbs, and it is not
guaranteed that even a dozen bottles applied
to any stray portion of a second hand skele
ton, will develop such member into an ani
mate, human form divine ('() Iu brief, it
is not asserted t hat this medicine will, or can,
counteract the decrees of Providence. But
in all cases whera high state of civilization
and cultivation has engendered disease and
Buffering, whereby God's natural man has
become a nervous, artificial being, the Gold
en Medical Discovery will positively restore
to him the strong, vigorous, self-asserting
life, from which, almost unconsciously, he
had drifted far, and perhaps hopelessly away.
It is claimed, and guan n eed, if this medi
cine be used aa prescribed, and faithfully
persevered in a reasonable time, it will itr
in'inently cure liver complaint, and the var
ious blood disorders consequent upon torpor
of the liver, in all their various forms and
ramifications, including bronchitis, con
sumption, which is scrofula of the lungs,
dyspepsia, costivonoss, sick-headache, skin
d-seuses, fever andugue, malaria, and other
disorders urising from poisoned or deterior
ated blood.
This wonderful medicino cures all humors,
from the worst scrofula to a common blotch,
pimple or eruption. Erysipelas, salt rheum,
fever sores, scaly or rough skin, in short, i:ll
ihseases caused by bad blood, aro conquered
by this powerful, purifying and invigorating
medicine. Great eating ulcers rap.tby held
under its benign influences. Especial y has
it manifested its potency in curing tetter,
boils, carbuncles, scrofulous soies and
swelling, whito swellings, goitre or tlix'c
neck, uud enlarged glands. C'onsuu.p'.ion,
which is scrofulous dieeuse of the lungs, is
promptly and positively arrested and cured
by this sovereign and God-given remedy, if
t ilien before the last stages arj reached.
Eor weak lungs, spitting of blood, con
sumptive nighi-sweats. and kindred affec
tions, it is a tuvoieigii remedy. Eor indi
gestion, dyspepsia and torpid liver, or "bil
iousness," Golden Medical Liscovury has no
equal, i 8 it effects perfect and radical cures.
To all suffering from lassitude, weariness,
despondency, lack of vigor or ambition, be it
man, woman or child, Dr. Pitrce's Golden
i 1 cal Discovery wdl speedily impart new
io..u, vigor and life to the whole system.

and tho relieved sufferer will once more enjoy

fully realized by those in perfect htultli.
'1 lie Golden Medical Dincovery will not
make drunkards or opium eattri, on the
contrary, any unfortunate. diieu by tiojble,
i dvernity or inherited appetite, to the ttne of
insidious stimulants, will tind the Discovery
of great assistance in efforts to bie.ik the
rlium binding lain to a shameful und mi.-er-nble
existence.
Thoso feeling only "out of aorta," villi uo
Predominant symptoms, and who. it asked,
would tind itdillicuit to explain their sensa
tions, will find a sovereign remedy in the
Golden Medical Discovery.
Those who aro irritable, petulant, or fret
ful, ever seeing the gloomy side of lifoi who
imagine "the time is out of joint;" to whom
life is a heavy burden, not a blessing; who
think tho whole world is arrayed against
them, and anticipate calamity at every turn;
to all such let this message be full of en
couragement and joy Dr. Pierco's Golden
Medical Discovery will radically cure them,
wjien it will be found, to their lasting benefit,
that life and the world have not changed,
but that disease had thrown clouds of misery
and woe about them, through which all
iliimra were seen, ns ' through a glass
darkly."
Let no sufferer be discouraged because ho
or she has tried other medicines without
benefit. In tact, these are tho cafes the
World's Dispensary Medical Association
particularly desire to reach through their
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
llVim all other medicines fail lei this be tried,
and no one will be doomed to further disap
pointment. The Golden Medical Discovery is a pre
scription of a physician with a wide-awake
tcputatiou and an honorable position to
maintain. It in far beneath the dignity of
Dr. l'ieroo to lend his name to any vile nos
trum, or catch-penny preparation, whereby
tho public may be deceived. Having used
his Discovery for many years in his un
precedented private practice, he is convinced
it is indecxa specific in diseases mentioned.
Desiring ttfis marvelous cure shall benefit
not only those with whom he comes person
ally in contact, but that all mankind may by
embraced in his cr.mdplan for the ameliora
tion ot human sulfering, the doctor, through
the World's Dispensary Medical Association,
earnestly and most confidently recommends
his Gulden Medical Discovery to the public
at large, assured the most skeptical will be
thoroughly convinced of its worth by a trial
of a single bottle.
Iu stubborn, or long-sealed affections, and
where tho bowels are very costive, the gentle,
though certain action of the Discovery, will
be more rapid and satisfactory by supplement
ing Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
in small daily doses of one or two. Theso
pills (the original and only genuine Little
Liver Pills) are purely reyWii ',, sugar
coated, and very small, yet by the peculiar
process used iu their preparation, they pos
sess tho strength and virtue of larger and
unpalatable pills. Pleasant Purgative
Pellets will speedily remove all ill and dis
agreeable effects arising from over-eating or
drinking, and are recommended as a ca
thartic at all times, being perfectly safe, sure
and unattended by the griping pains usually
experienced in the use of purgatives less
carefully prepared. Promptly resorU'd to,
these little Pellets will radically euro indi
gestion, biliousness and sick-headache, thus
saving the patient from serious and lingering
disorders. Dr. Pierce, the President of lh
World's Dispensary, and his faculty of
twelve skilled specialists, can be consulted
by letter or in person in any case ot chronic
disease requiring either medical or surgical
treatment free of charge. Eor those desiring
more exhaustive information than can be
imparted through correspondence, the doctor
has written a book, called "The People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser, in Plain
En dish; or. Medicine Simplified."
This work alone is a goodly harvest for an
ordinary life, and stamps its author a pro
found scholar and a very remarkable man.
The book contains nine hundred and twenty
two pages, illustrated with two hundred and
eighty-six wood cuts and colored plates, and
makes plain as a, b, c, anatomy, physi
ology, materia medica, practice of medicine,
hygiene, temperaments, psychology, etc.
and answers in plain, easily-to-be-understood
terms all questions that may arise
within their range, especially those ques
tions the would-b inquirer is deterred by
fear, or modesty, from asking the family or
other physician. That all may be enabled to
acquaint themselves with matter so vital to
health, happiness, and success, the price of
this great work has been fixed at one dollar
and fifty con fat, postpaid by mail to any ad
dicts, while. smiUUr ami far inferior books,
purporting to cover the same ground, have
sold at five dollars a copy. It being the aim
of the proprietors of the Common Sense
Medical Adviser to reach not only the afflu
ent, but also those in moderate, and even
straitened, cirenmstanoes, the price of the
ork places it within the reach of all.
Cheap White Sponges.
It is well to be economical, says an
exchange, but there is no economy in
buying certain articles because they
are ottered at low prices . Attention
has frequently been called, for in
stance, to the white sponges which
are offered for sale by street peddlers
and at cheap fancy goods shops. To
begin with they are not what they are
represented to be namely, fine
sponges. On the contrary, they are
very coarse, as a rule, their high color
being due to a liberal use of chloride of
lime. There would be no harm in
this artificial bleaching process were
the salt entirely washed out of the
sponge by soaking it in clear water or
by a solution of an anti-chlorine. But
this is not done, as your nose will tell
you, and the result has been that people
who have used the sponges for
toilet purposes have been affected
with inflamed and smarting eyes.
Concerning the use of chloride of lime
by these dealers in cheap sponges, a
story is told by a New York paper
that it is to disinfect the sponges, a
necessary process, because of the pre
vious uses to which they have been
devoted washing wounds on hospital
patients, and other service. It is ditli
cult to believe that the hospital author
ities would permit sponges once used
by them to be disposed of at any price.
Hut the sale of them by thoughtless, if
not unprincipled servants, could easily
be effected without the knowledge of
the supervisors of a hospital. Even if
they are not sold by servants, they
may, sooner or later, reach the rag
picker's hook and from them pass to a
bleach kettle. The place to put them
where they will do the least harm is
the boiler furnace.
