A LOST KEY.

Edgar Arnton had made a highly important discovery, and one that troubled him. He was a surgeon, and was given to examining hearts. For a full hour, ist the gathering summer twilight of the Park avenue, he had applied his faculties to the testing, in another sense, of his own. The decision to which, very unwittingly, he. came, was that his dim suspicions of the past three months were well-founded —he was in love, The thrill which had gone through him as he olasped Kate Gerrow’s hand on leaving her uncle’s gates that very evening pointed in that direction. The expansion of soul and the exhilaration of mind which he continually experienced in her presence, the longing that often seized nim in his moments of professional disgust and weariness to feast his eyes, if only for an instant, on Kate’s bonny faoe, all drove home the unwelcome conviction. In the coarse of his final tarn along the broad path between the whispering poplars, Edgar formed a resolution. Entering Brixby, he encountered the very friend he had desired to consult. Mr. Trent was a solicitor, many years the young medical man’s senior, and his only confident in all the countryside. "If you are disengaged for ten minutes or so, Mr. Trent,” said Edgar, “I should like to have a talk with yon about Mr. Gerrow’s nieoe.” "lain perfectly at your service, mdn ami. You are smitten by the great appreciation of Miss Gerrow’s charms. 1 have seen it coming a long time.” Edgar smiled a little sardonically, in the dimness. "It is a lawyer’s business to be farsighted,” he said ; “ I have found it out now—the fact of whioh you speak—and, I am afraid, only just in time. ” A harshness was in his tones which surprised the listener. “I do not understand,” said Mr. Trent. " Why, I mean that had the disease, gone further I might have proved unable to overcome it—as I mean to do now.”

“You astonish me more and more. Miss Gerrow is beautiful, of good birth and well educated. She is an heiress into the bargain; and if she cares for you, and her uncle consents, what possible obstacle can intervene ?” “I’ou have said,” returned Edgar moodily; “ she is an heiress.” ’i he lawyer bit his lip to keep from a loud explosion of misplaced merriment. “ The Very thing that, whether she were pret y or plain, would make Miss Gerrow an attraction to most Buitors. ” “I am aware of it But lam not like the majority ; lam poor, my prospects are barren enough ; all the world would say I was fortune-hunting—marrying for money if it came to a marriage. She might learn to think so too, and that I could not bear. I have seen plenty of this already—in my own family.” The concentrated pathos of the last sentence, and the involuntary sigh which concluded it, touched the solicitor. His meditated words of bantering remonstrance were not uttered. “ What shall you do then ?” he asked. “Shun the danger, fight the temptation, work harder. I cannot run away as in other circumstances I might be minded to do; my living lies in Brixby. But you can help me considerably in the struggle if you will.” “I—how?” " When you see me running any risk of a tete-a-tete with Miss Gerrow and you can possibly interfere, do so. ” . “ And make you hate me for it; I will not promise. ” " I shall not hate you, I shall be very grateful, I must meet her frequently at the house of mutual friends. You will often be able to make me your debtor in the way I say.” The route the pair had taken brought them at this point with the cordon of habitations again. With a few more words of less special interest they parted for the night. As Elgar’s tall, athletic figure disappeared among the mingling shadows of tree and cottage, the lawyer turned and gazed for a moment. " Poor fellow ! there has been misery in his lot in earlier years, I know,” he muttered to himseif; “ and he is by no means sure of his own power to withstand in this matter, or he would not appeal to any friend. ” It was even so; Edgar Arnton mistrusted himself despite the apparent firmness of his resolution. As fate would have it, a week later he was thrown into Kate Gerrow’s company even more constantly and more intimately than before. Mr. Gerrow was taken suddenly and seriously ill. Edgar had to attend him and to labor hard to ward off an attack of probably fatal apoplexy. They were a lonely couple, the wealthy, eccentric old owner of Brixby Lodge and the fair young girl who was reputed his heiress. Kate was an only child and an orphan. Neither she nor her uncle had any kinsfolk in the neighborhood. Cousins, Kate believed she had somewhere in the North; but there had been an estrangement in the family, and these she had never seeD.

“T 8 it anything dangerous, Mr. Arnton? My uncle will recover, will he not ? ” Kate asked when, atter a careful examination of his patient, Edgar stood for a minute or two in the wide, old-fashioned hall. Very charming looked the questioner, and t litre was no wonder Am ton was once more magnetized. " I sincerely trust so, Miss Gerrow,” he replied ; “of course I dare not disguise from you that there is risk-—grave risk, that is inseparable from such cases; but X do not see the least reason for despair. Pray do not worry yourself unnecessarily.” “ My uncle is the only relative I have living in the whole West of England,” she said. ‘‘You will not conceal his real condition from me at any time, I beg, Mr. Amton,” she subjoined. “ No, Miss Gerrow, I will be quite frank ; although it is a medical privilege to be discreet, you know. But you will

■ need a trained none. Hie work will be to delicate for ordinary servants, and too wearying by far for you. M»y I send one from the Holsteaa Infirmary ? ” “If you think that that will be the best coarse to take. But l shall certainly wait on uncle principally myself.” And so Kate did. And day by day in his visits Edgar Arnton met her, and felt more deeply, more indubitably in love. Not that he abandoned in any degree his determination to refrain from becoming Kate’s snitor. That resolve was as firm as ever. He simply elected to drift with the tide. The patient gradually recovered, and bore grateful testimony to Edgar’s professional a kill. The mend was not long, though; a message in the dead of night some few weeks after took Edgar hurriedly away to Brixby Lodge, to find that another and a severer seizure had proved immediately fatal. Kate’s grief was intense. Edgar must have seemed strongly cold and distant in the dark days before the funeral, for he was compelled to keep down his sympathy with an iron hand, and to breathe condolence in the most conventional of phrases. But for so doiug he felt morally sure that his vow of personal silence would have been irretrievably broken, and he meant to corquer yet. But in the oourse of time an odd rumor reached him. The old man’s will had been read, and Kate was not an heiress after all. With a chaos of conflicting emotions surging within his breast, Edgar called on Mr. Trent and learned the truth. “The document is dated ten years back, before Miss Gerrow came to live with her uncle,” said the solicitor. "There is no doubt as to its genuineness. Every one thought he had made a later one—l did myself, bat none can be found beside this. I suppose he put tbe business off, as so many people do, until it was too late. The property all goes to a wealthy Lancashire manufacturer.” "How does Kate—Miss Gerrow take it?”

"As quietly as yon may guess. Some girls would have been almost killed by the disappointment, but not she. Yon had better go up and see her. She is not an heiress now. Indeed, she’ll have barely enough to live upon, unless this cousin does something for her—-which is doubtful.” Edgar took the advioe, and went up to the desolate great house the same afternoon. Some commonplaces passed, and then that old, old story burst forth which somehow always seems to me far too sacred to be written out in detail on any author’s soribbling paper. Edgar made a full confession, and not in vain. "The saddest experiences of my youth,” he said, "came through a marriage for money, and through misplaced confidence. Very early I vowed that that mistake should in no shape ever be mine ; that nobody should ever throw fortune-hunting of that kind in my teeth. And yet ” —with a smile of infinite content—"l am not certain, Kate, after all, whether love would not have beaten me in the end.”

“I hope so,” the maiden answered, shyly. _ There was a sale at Brixby Lodge, and in due course one of the Lancashire manufacturer’s sons, who had recently married, came down and was installed as his father’s representative. Edgar Arnton had arranged that Kate Gerrow 6hould reside in London with his sisters until such an interval had passed as etiquette prescribed. At the sale he was a large purchaser, and poor, as, by comparison, he had onoe styled himself, the house he furnished was one of the best in the village. - Wedding and honeymoon were both over Edgar had just come in from his day’s round of visits, and wa? standing with his wife at the window, gazing out at the fast-falling snowflakes that foreboded a white Christmastide. Suddenly there was a crash behind that caused both to look round. A Persian kitten gamboling mischievously on the top of an escritoire, had knocked down the plaster figure of an antiqne cup-bearer. The frargile article of vertu was broken into a dozen fragments, amid which a tiny silver key revealed itself. "That is where the key of uncle’s Japanese cabinet went to, then,” said Kate ; "the hand and arm of the image must have been hollow, and the key, onoe put into the cup, slipped through into the interior. "Odd, certainly,” answered Edgar; "let us try if it is the one.” He went out, and from the next room fetched a small inlaid cabinet of exquisite workmanship. The key fitted at once.

“ 1 was sure it would. I knew it again at first sight,” Baid the lady. "It is fortunate we waited and did not trouble to force the box open; that would inevitably have spoilt it. I don’t suppose there is anything in the casket, though.” " Oh, but there is !” ejaculated Edgar, as at that instant he poised up the delicate lid and caught sight of a tight little roll of paper. Kate watched in 6ilent surprise; Edgar slowly undid the bundle, a shrewd suspicion of what he had found flashing upon him and making his ordinarily firm, white fingers hot and bungling. "It is your uncle’s real will, his last and legal will, I should say rather,” Edgar said with a gasp, "found just where he might have been expected to have placed it, and where searchers might equally have been expected to miss it. Quite a wonder I bought the cabinet!” And then he read slowly, till the full moment of the discovery had been realized by both brains, how land, and houses, and money snugly invested in consols, had been all devised, without either reservation or qualification, to Mr. Gerrow’s beloved niece, Kate, “ the companion of his old age, and the faithfulguardian of his interests.” Husband and wife gave each other a long, earnest look, which ended in a mutual smile and a caress. “Despite all precautions you have married an heiress, then, Edgar,” said Kate, merrily ; " the pity of it is, it’s quite late in the day to disown her now.” " As if I could possibly wish to !” Mr. Trent laughed likewise. " All’s well that ends well,” he said. He was speedily put in possession of the recovered document, acquainted Mr. Mudbury with the circumstances, and convinced the manufacturer how futile it would be to contest his cousin’s claim. In a very brief space the Lancashire gentleman returned in disgust to his own district. Brixby Lodge became the residence of the Arntons and their children.

Both husband and wife treasure the once-lost key above its weight in gold. But for its opportune disapoearance two loving souls might have remained apart. To it Kate says she owes her husband, and by it Edgar thinks truly that he has both kept his vow (in the spirit), and won a wife with a fortune. An honest farmer in the" State of Pennsylvania married a miss from a fashionable boarding school for his second wife. He was struck dumb with her eloquence, and gaped with wonder at her learning. «You might,” said he, “bore a hole through the Solid airth and chuck in a jnillßtone, and she’ll tell you to a shavin’ how long the stone will be goin’ clean through. I used for to think that it was air I sucked in every time I expired; however, she tel ed me that I had been sucking, in frwo kinds of g) n — 01 gh» and high gin ! My stars !

Five Little Boys Buried Alive.

A dispatch from St. Joseph, Mo., says • Tho city was thrown into a fever of excitement by the announcement that five boys had been buried alive. An investigation proved the truth of the report It seems that a half-doz-en boys had carved out a huge cave in the bank, which they used as headquarters for spending their idle time. One afternoon five of tho party went out to their oavo to read, and that is the last seen of th-m alive. About 430 or 5 a sixth boy went out to the rendezvous and found it bad caved in. He felt fearful that his companions might be under the earth, but a man who was near by laughed at his nonsense. The boy, not willing to give up, began' tearing the dirt away with a stick, and soon discovered an arm which protruded up. This satisfied the youth, and in a few moments a half-dozen men were removing dirt, and soon the dead bodies of five boys were taken out. The names of the boys are Nick Kell, aged 16; Allen Rhodes, 9 ; Sam Montgomery, 8 ; John Montgomery, 14; and Nick Garrish, 17. The heart of the latter still throbbed feebly when he was taken out. but soon ceased.

Senator Ben Hill Dying.

Washington, March 15. Senator Ben Hill to-day remarked that Ufa was all behind him, and he was only waiting for the ena. He is temporarily easier than a few days ago. His friends have no hope of his permanent improvement. . He has undergone four operations. The first was the removal of a small wart-like excrescence on the side of the tongue; the second was the removal of about one-fourth of the tongue and entire floor of the month, and the third, a hard and painful kernel developed in the posterior part of the mouth, was removed. It was afterward discovered that the parotid gland was affected. It swelled and became violently inflamed. The symptoms were so violent that the gland was removed. From this time the patient steadily failed, cancer being a commonly fatal disease in his family. •

German Parliament Building.

The new building for the German Parliament is to occupy a site 450 feet long and 800 feet broad. There are to be seats for 400 Deputies arranged like thosg Jq the Ball of Representatives at

Washington each with a desk. All around* the sides of the hallwill be ranged boxes as in * theater, with asep* arate entrance. The two most important of these are reserved for the imperial family and the diplomatic body, and only about 160 seats are set apart for the use of the general public.

THAT RICH EXPERIENCE.

A Free Preaa Interview ktataiHe4 an* 1U S<mrtte tteVenled. [Detroit Free Trees,} A few months ago ui interview with a prominent and well-known physician, formerly a resident of Detroit, bnt now living in New York, appeared in tbe columns of this paper. ThC statements made bjr tbs dOctet and the facts he divulged were of so ttnbSoal a nature as to cause no little oommotkra among those who read them, and many inquiries were raised as to the genuineness or the interview and the validity of the statements it contained. The name of the physician was at that time suppressed at his own request The seal of secrecy, however, can now be removed, as the interesting letter which appears below will abundantly show. In order, however, that the reader may better understand this letter, a few extracts are herewith given from the interview in question. After ail exchange Of courtesies and a few reniinboenoes about the War, In which the doctor was a prominent surgeon, tbe reporter remarked- upon the doctors improved appearance, upon which he said: Yes, 1 have improved in health since you last saw me, and I hope also in many other ways. One thing, however, I have succeeded in doing, and it is one of the hardest things for any one, and especially a doctor, to-do, and that is I have overcome my ptejudioes; You know there are some people who prefer to remain in tbe wrong rather than acknowledge tbe manifest right. Suoh prejndioe leads to bigotry of the worst order. Now, lam a physician, and of the * old school’ order, too; but I have, after years of experience and observation, come to the conclusion that truth is the highest of all things, and that if prejudice or bigotry stand in the way of truth, so much the worse for them—tiny are certain to be crushed Booner or later. Why, when I knew you in Detroit, I would no sooner have thought of violating the code of ethics laid down by the profession, or of prescribing anything out Of the regular order, than 1 would of amputating my hand. Now, however, I prescribe and advise those things Which I believe to be adapted to curs| and whioh my experience has proven to be Such**’

“How did you oome to get such heretical ideas as these, doctor ?” "Oh, they are tho result of my experience and observation. I obtained my first ideas upon the subject, though, from having been cured after all my oare and the skill of my professional brethren had failed to relieve me. Why, I was as badly off as many of my patients, with a complication of troubles, including dyspepsia, and consequently imperfect kldDeys and liver, and I feared I should have to give up my practice. For months I suffered untold agonies. Dull, indefinite pains in various parts of the body; a lack of interest in everything around me ; a loss of appet te ; headaches ; all these disagreeable symptoms were added to pains which were both acute and constant. Sick as 1 was, however, I became restored to bealth in a most surprising manner and in an inoredibly short space of time, and it was this that proved a revelation to me. That was the starting point, and my prejudices faded rapidly after that 1 can assure you. I went to reading extensively, and analyzing more extensively, and since that time I have discovered manv things of real value to humanity. Why, only a few days ago lad vised a lady who was suffering from a serious female difficulty and displacement to use the same remedy whioh cured me. I saw her this morning and she is nearly well; the pain and inflammation are all gone and she is around as usual. We have no right in the medical fraternity to sit baok and declare there is no such thing as improvement or advancement, or that we have a monopoly of the remedies whioh nature has given to mankind. There are great changes going on in every department of life, and there are great developments in medicine as well. Thousands of people die every year from supposed typhoid fever, rheumatism or other complaints, when in reality it is from trichina, caused by eating poorly cooked and diaeAed pork. Thousands of children are dying every year from dropsy as the apparent si quel to scarlitina. when in reality it is from diseased kidneys which have become weakened by the fever they have just had.” “ Well, doctor, you have got some new truths here, certainly, but they sound very reasonable to me.”

‘‘Well, whether they are reasonable or not. I have demonstrated to my own satisfaction that they are true, and I propose to stand by them, no matter how mnoh opposition I may raise by so. Any man, be he politician, preacher or physician, who is so considerate of his pocketbook or of his own personal ends as to stultify himself by suppressing the manifest truth, is unworthy the name or man, anil unworthy the confidence of the publio whom he serves.” The above are some of the principal points in the interview referred to. Now for the sequel. The following outspoken letter from tbe doctor himself, winch lias just been received, is published in full:

Editor Detroit Free Press: Some time ago a reporter of your paper had au interview with me which he said he would like to publish. I consented on condition tnat you would not mention my name uutil I gave you permission. I have now accomplished the purpose I had in mind, and wish to say to you (which you can publish or not as yon see fit) that I had debated for a iong time whether I would shake off some of the professional fetters which bound me with others for years, and tell tne truth, or not. When I looked back, and thought of the tortures, like those described by Dante iu his trip to the internal regions, whioh I endured from dyspepsia, and recalled how much I would have given at that time for the relief which I have since obtained, I determined that I would take the steD so long meditated, and thereby discharge a duty to my fellow men. If I could thereby save one poor mortal one night of the terrible suffering I endured, I would be fully satisfied,, be the other consequences what they might. My dyspeptic condition was produced by a torpid liver, which did not, as a consequence, remove the bile from the blood. This produced derangement of the stomach, imflammation of its coats, dyspepsia, constipation, headache, depression of spirits, yellow complexion, fat-covered eyes, clmls and fever; in short, I was miserable to the last degree. I appealed in vain to my boobs, to my skill and to my fellow physicians. Tne mystery of my ill-bealtn grew deeper. I traveled everywhere—exhausted all authorized expedients—bat to no purpose!

When in this frame of mind, desperately in need of help, bnt expecting none, one of my unprofessional friends called my attention to some unusual cures wrought by a prominent remedy and urged me to try it. I emphatically declined. But secretly, and with the firm determination that I wonld never let anybody know what I had done, I began its use. It was only an experiment, you know, but, for that mat er, all medical treatment is experimental. Well, to make a long aud surprising story short- I experienced a sort of physical revolution. My skin got a better oolor. My liver resumed its functions* I no longer had to arouse the bowels with cathartics. My headaches disappeared with my dyspepsia • but still I was not convinced. “ Nature d'd it,” I reasoned. But. determined to push the investigation to the extreme* while I was in active work, I tried the effect ot the remedy on my patients afflicted with kid-’ ney, liver and urinary diseases, watching every development oarofully and sudiously. Then I was completely disarmed, for the remedy stood every test imposed! Under such convincing circumstances, the matter of confessing my cure became a question of conscience and of duty to humanity. “Here is a remedy,” I said, “that baa done for-me what the best medical skill of the country could not accomplish ” —and as ah honorable man I will not suppress the faots. I therefore write you and most unhesitatingly assert that for all diseases of the kidneys, liver, stomach or urinary organß .which are amenable to treatment, Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Care surpasses any remedy I have ever known . or used, and since physicians have so much illsuccess in the treatment of diseases of these organs, I am prepared to aooept all the consequences when 1 say that they are, if conscientious, in duty bound to use this pure vegetable compound in their practice. Yours very trulv, *, J. W. Smith, M. D statements so outspoken as the above and coming from such a reliable source are valuable boyoud question. They conclusively show not only the power of the remedy which hsq become so well known and popular, but the great importance of attention in time to the first indications of declining health. When professional men of snch high standing sink their prejudice and willingly declare their belief in that which they know to be valuable, the publio may confidently follow their example*

Serious Labor Blot at Omaha. Omaha, March 13. The militia in the city to protect the nonstriking laborers were annoyed last evening by a gathering of men and boys, who threw brickbats at the officers and hit several. A squad of soldiers charged on the crowd to drive them back from the militia quarters, and several of the assailants were sevtemy wounded by bayonets. One of the wounded. G. P. Armstrong, formerly a machinist, who was wounded in the breast and taken into the guard-house, supposed to be slightly hurt, has died from the wound. He had been slightly under the Influence of liquor, and was abiding the soldiers, Re was inoffensive when

Something great, therefore, is always to be looked for frOih the innboent ana ap DAretttly docile young Women who afe driven into a Comer by loVe. They repeatedly show how tiie terrestrial angel rashes in where the other kind would naturally fear to tread. There are a great many illustrations of this, bttt the recent exploit of a young woman in Arkansas is a little Oat of the ordinaTy Wh of illustrations. As young men afe mOre Common out there than in this p&rt of the country—or rather as young women are more Uncommon—this particular Arkansas girl had two lovers. Like a true girl, she was highly delighted with both of them, and probably, just like-* girl also, she would have Leen delighted still more had her lovers numbered a dozen or a score. But as they did not, she had to get along with two ; and she endured it like a martyr. When the time oame to determine between them she found that She had made a mess of it by engaging herself to the wrong young man. She was not long in finding this out and notifying the other young man. Her proposition was to marry the one to Whom she was engaged and elope with the other in sik months. This scheme seems to h&Ve been accepted, as both propositions have been carried out It was something that could be made effective in Arkansas. It is a good enough thing in its way for any part of the West where boys are cheap and girls are scarce. It wouldn’t do here, however, where there are not boys enough for every girl to have one, and it would be a pretty hazardous undertaking for a girl to carry off two within six months. Nevertheless, it can not always be told what a girl won’t do when she gets in love. That which goes for common sense doesn’t have muoh show in a struggle with love.—Philadelphia Times.

TWENTY YEARS A SUFFERER.

Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir— Twenty years ago I was shipwrecked ou the Atlantic ocoan, and the cold and exposure caused a largo abscess to form on each leg, which kept continually discharging. After spending hundreds of dollars with no benefit, I tried your “ Golden Medical Discovery," and now, In less then throe months after taking the first bottle, I am thankful to say I am completely ourod. and for the first time in ten years can pat my left heel on the ground. I am yours, William Ryder, 87 Jefferson Bt, Buffalo, N. Y»

The editor of an exchange can’t see how the leg artists get on their tigets. Of course not. They go in their dressing rooms and lock the doors, and stuff rags in the chinks just to keep such fellows as him from seeing how they get on their tights, but anybody can see how he gets on his tights, by just looking beyond the green slatted screen, that stands just inside of the first saloon door. — Visscher.

Thousands of women bless the day on which Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription" was made known to thorn. In all those derangements causing backache, dragging-down sensations, nervous and general debility, it is a sovereign remedy. Its soothing and healing properties render it of tbe utmost value to ladies suffering from “ internal fever," congestion, inflammation or ulceration. By druggists.

So fearfully does the saud blow over the Colorado Desert that it acts like a mechanical “sand-blast.” The telegraph poles are polished as smooth as glass; the paint on Bign-posts is worn off as clean as if scraped and rubbed with sand-paper and glass bostles, left for a time on the gound, lose their transparency and are turned into ground glass outside and in.

The original “Little Liver Pills” are Dr. Pierce’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets,” and are extensively imitated. They cure sick and odious headaohe. Private Government stamp with Dr. P>eroe’s signature and portrait mark the genuine. By druggists. Thebe is a famous bare-back rider in Virginia, not a female but a mail rider, who has a pony that has been in the service thirty years. He can carry more, and carry it further than a Krupp gun or an Armstrong rifle ordnance. Oace he earned a cook stove and sixteen feet of pipe over the greater part of his route, which lies between Warrenton and Washington. John G. Whittier's book-mark is the tail of a gray squirrel killed by his cat. Mr. H. F. Winton, of Aurora, IncL, writes: “ I had got tired of taking medicine to purify my blood and correct my liver and bowels. I seemed to be getting worse and worse. A taint of inherited scrofula was the cause of all my illness and distress. Boils and sores were continually breaking out in d fferent parts of my body. A small scratch would make a tig sore. I was also very weak, the least exertion caused me the greatest fatigue. I oommeuoed taking Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, on account of being strongly persuaded by a friend to do so. Its effect has far exceeded my expectations. My skin is smooth, my bowels are regular and my strength greatly increased. I could not have wished for more."

At a fashiouubie diuuer, the dinner cards exactly represented soda crackers. They were made of silk, lined with down, and perfumed. The edges were slightly browned like a cracker, and the stitches confined the silk like a stamp. The guest’s name was printed in the center. A California bee-keeper who can’t ship five tons of honey on an order by telegraph is too slow for that country, and is advised to go East and peddle milk.

“A Wonderful Effect.”

Adrian, Mioh., Jane 80, 1881. H- H. Warner & Co.: Sirs— Your Safe Kidney and Liver Care has had the most wonderful effect upon my wife, who has been troubled for three or four years with a kidney and liver difficulty. ’ F. A. Ferguson. More than a thousand women are now teaching in Switzerland. Girls are admitted to the high schools only in Zurich and Berne. You had better cut out this address—“ Dr. C. R.

Kirney-Wort radically cures biliousness, piles and all nervous diseases. The remarkable types of Nihilist women are well known. Vera Sassulitch, whose shot inaugurated terrorism, was the most modest of her sex. In the court-room she blushed she perceived any one. staring at her. Lady Figner, a charming lady and an accomplished singer, got her eight years in the Siberian mines by sitting in the parlor and playing the piano for weary hours, trying to drown the noise made by the secret printing press in the next room. Anna Lebede, the priest’s daughter, in the disguise of the wife of a switchman, lived in a switch house on a railroad, and' was found on a box filled with dynamite, chatting with the switchman. Sophy Perovßkaya, the daughter of a General and Senator, who declined the dignity of maid of honor to the Empress and entered the Nihilist fraternity, dug the Moscow mine and directed the late Czar’s assassination. Sophy Bardin, who was welcomed as a shining star in the literary horizon, wrote a few poems whioh, though gems of Russian literature, were treasonable, and the singing of them is a State crime. The Publishers of the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer heartily recommend Dr. Bu'Ps Qough Syrup and say: “It has been well triegin our office and composing room, and bos cured our city editor 0* * very bad case of Bronchitis.**
