The Token of Death.

A young man called at a newspaper office in Plymouth, England, the day after the bombardment of Alexandria, and asked if the names -of any of the Englishmen killed during the day had been received. He said that during the afternoon the mother and wife of a petty officer named Revington, serving in Alexandria, had what they regarded as a “ token of his death.” They were sitting together in their house talking and working when they heard or thought they heard the voice of the absent son and husband say “ Mother !” three times. Nothing had been heard about Revington at the newspaper office, but the next day the relatives received a telegram from the Admiralty stating that he was shot in the streets of Alexandria while serving on police duty. A lady physician writes : “ I have met with great suevess m female diseases. My chief prescription for languor, debility, Irregularities, painful periods, dyspepsia and other complications of general weakness, ill-health, impure blood, etc., is Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. I think it should be called the Queen of Female Medicines!”
