A Our a For Rheumatism.
For several years H. L. Harlan, has been a sufferer from rheumatism but is now rapidly recovering his wonted health. His recovory is due to a machine of his own invention. During his illness he tried remedy after remedy and finally began to select from each that property which seemed to benefit him. He now has a splendid remedy composed of herbs, roots and barks, which is a sure cure. His own apparently hopeless case has been vastly improved and several other bad cases have been completly cured. Mr. Harlan is contemplating going into business of manufacturing his medicine for the trade, being perfectly satisfied that it is just the thing.
Orawfordsville Songsters. i.
Company I of the Second regiment carries a quartet of colored boys with them, as waiters and cooks that are songsters of the highest order. Lnst night they favored the Press office by a few choice selections that were highly appreciated by the "gang." It is seldom that one is able to hear the dear old southern melodies sung by colored singers who are able to portray in expressions the depth and beauty of those old pieces but when onco fortune favors you by allowing you to listen to the famed Orawfordsville colored soDgsters you will understand what the writer is is trying to depict. The names of the boys are as follows: Wick Smith, Willie Garr, George Viveth, Tim Harlan, Ernest Brady, Henry Wigands, Billy Willet, Joseph Parket, Jim Johnson.— Fort Wayne Press.
In Defense of the Waynetown Company. WAYNETOWX, Ind., July 24.—Editor JOURNAL:—In justice to about 40 young men belonging to the military company here, I want to give last Monday's report in your paper a square denial. We are willing to admit that some hoodlums living south of town, (and sorry to say too, that two of them belong to the company) did go to your city last Sunday and got drunk and later got what they needed, a good licking. But the fact is, no one who went from here in the big wagons spoken of, drank drop, or got into trouble with anyone. Our company is not made tip of such characters, but to the contrary, thev are a moral, temperate and upright young men. We challenge anyone to prove that aDy of the bovs except Tom Herron and A1 Casner we either drunk or disorderly in your city and they did not go with the company from here, but went

The citizens of this place have no sympathy to extend to the boys above named, but will be glad, ir t.hev repeat their actions.that tho dose would be doubled next time.

—Having a few moments leisure time 1 will give you tin' outline of wlml we saw by taking the fast train to (ilasgow, Seeotland, known as "The Vlying Scotchman." It is ."."0 miles from London to Glasgow, ami our train so long as we remained with it. made from 55 to 71) miles per hour. Thev claim for this train that it runs ess time, vear in and vear the mure miles in out, than anv tram in the world ami we
have long since le.-trned to believe nnything they tell us over here, always however retaliating with a bigger r.ne from America. 1 will add right here without any lengthy description that England is the most beautiful country I have ever seen, and 1 make the remark after crossing from Livor]x)ol to London and London to Glasgow and Edinburg, which ought to givo us a fair idea. Also wo find every town and country cross road a spot of some historic association. Leaving London by this fast train at 10 a. m„ our first stop, anciont city York, which was Bettled by tho Romans A. D. 7i) or over 1813 years ugo and like all ancient cities the streets are very narrow, some just wide enough to pass, with a three foot sido-walk and often less than that, while they have a fow streets that are 30 feet wide. They toll a story of a New York man visiting York and remarked to a York tradesman, "Your streets nro tho narrowest in Europe, there is actually not room for two carriages." "Not room!" was tho indignant reply, "There's plenty of room sir, and about an inch and a half to spare."
At York we find the nncier.t York miuster which was founded in the seventh century and rebuilt in 1171. They claim for it the largest minster in England, being over 500 feet long and the vaulted roof 100 feet high. The central or Lantern Tower being 235 feet high, it is surely a massive structure. The large east window is declared to bo the finest one in tho world. It is 75 feet high and 32 feot broad and cost only 8300, as tho workmen on it only received a penny per day for their labor. In the crypt of this anciont minster, (which koks as though it would stand until the judgment day,) tho guide leads us to tho baptistry where King Edward tho I, was baptized in G30 or over 1200 years ago.
Five minutes walk from the minster brings us to tho ruins of St. Mary Abby. Y'ork Castle was once a strong fortress. Its walls enclosed an area of four acres. A drive through the city, and we are off for Edinburg, passing many places of historical interest, but not having time to see them all wo went to Edinburg, which has not undeservedly received the title of the Modern Athens, for it is surely one of the prettiest little cities I have ever been in. From Edinburg Castle perhaps the most comprehensive views of the city is gained, for from it both tho old and new town is seen at a glance. All of those ancient castles are built when the best natural fortification could be had, and of all we havo yet seen the Castle had tho finest of them all, for it is built on a high man of rock, which on three sides is almost perpendicular for 150 to 200 feet, and with the old mode of warfare it seemed absolutely impregnable. The Castle and fort were built during the Beventh century, but is now used aa a barrick for the army. In one of its rooms Btrong guarded are all of the old Scottish Regalia, consisting of crowns, sceptres, etc., also tho badge of the
George and Dragon, said to bo the most superb jewel of the kind in existence. In tho same apartment is the oak chest in which the regalia wero deposited at the date of the Union, and which remained hidden until discovered by Sir Walter Scott in 1818, On the top of this old fort and castle stands a largo cannon called Moils Meg, and did service back as far as 118!). or three
After a few hours in the prison of the old Castle, we stopjx-d next at the old house or John Knox, the great Reformer which they say is a good specimen of an »l«.l Scottish house. The rooms now shown are three, the sitting room, bed room and study. They are panneled with oak, which with the small windows and poor light makes a very dark and dingy looking house. Here Knox lived from the year 1500 to 1572, when ho died at the ago of 07 years.
From this we pass the granil monument erected in 18 It to the memory of Sir Walter Scott and cost 15,050
or
about 878,250. It is situated within Fast Princes street gardens, the most beautiful street in Edinburgh. It bears a general resemblance to tho most admired example of monumental crosses of the largest proportions, being 11)0 foot in height. A stair of 287 stops conducts us to the top and from its thirteen different galleries, fine views are obtained

of tho city. In niches are statues of the most familiar character of Scott's novels and poems, such as Prince Charles, Meg Merriles, The Last Minstrel, Lady of the Lake, Rob Roy, etc.
The large marble statues of Sir Walter Scott being under the canopy of the monument.
Our next trip was Holyrood Palace, which we found of wonderful interest to us on account of its its intimately association with the career of Mary Queen of Scots. It is impossible to look at this remarkable castle without tho most intense interest. Here the beautiful Mary Queen of Scots was married to Lord Darnley in July, 1565, over 320 year ogo, and in the same building Anne of Denmark, Queen of James IV. was married in 1090.
The room which Mary Queen of Scots occupied is here shown with her bed in the same state as when last occupied by her. This bed is surrounded by a heavy iron frame, which keeps the people several feet from it. A small closet adjoining this room is said to have been the favorite retreat of the Queen, and it was in this room that the slaughter of David Rizzio took place, he being ono of a party invited by Queen Mary to supper. The secreet stair in wall by which Darnley, Douglas and the rest of the conspirators gained access to the Queen appartments is shown as also tho spot where the body of Rizzio was placed after the tragedy had been enacted. The historical and romantic associations connected with this room, render it undoubtedly the most interesting apartment in Scotland and tho melancholy and faded aspect of this room itself is in admirable keeping with its tale of sorrow and of crime. We now leave this city to return to London.
