Hugo’s Faith.

Arsene Houssaye reproduces in L'Artiste a profession of faith recently made by Victor Hugo after a dinner at his house. “What is death but eternal life?” said the poet. “I call to witness these millions of worlds, what is there ? Infinity, always infinity. If I pronounce the name of God I raise a smile on the faces of some of you who do not believe in God? Why do they not .behove in God ? Because they believe in the living forces of nature. But what is nature ? Without God it is a grain of sand. What is the earth? A cradlo find a grave. But just as the cnadle has its beginning, the tomb has its rays of light; it is a door closed upon the earth but opened upon worlds of which we catch a glimpse. Let us live on the visible, Messieurs lea savants, let us also live on the invisible. Science will makd earthly discoveries, but it will always be wrong if it is not dominoed by a radiant ideal. ,

A Dubious Customer.

An old woman, needing some silk and some tape, sent her husband for them. The silk was shown, but the buyer thought the price too great.

With a le<s brave and determined man to deal with the attempt would have proved successful, for the attack was vigorous and perßisreat, and continued almost without intermission for three hours, until the baffled villains withdrew from the scene, leaving the heroic Ross wounded but victorious. To him alone is due the credit of having saved the ex-press-car ant( the entire tram. Mr. i oss has been in the employ of Wells, Fargo A Co. over sixteen years, and this is the third unsucces-ful attempt whic*i has been made to rob the treasure under his charge Eleven years ago, while holding his shotgun on the treasure coach of the Montana line, he was held up by a band of road agents, but killed several and got away from'fee rest of tho crowd. This last attempt has seldom been equaled anywhere for fee bravery and persistence of the robbers and the Stubbornness of the defense. Mr. Ross stated that the point selected bv the robbers for their operations was one of the loneliest places on the line of the desert, region in Nevada, in a sagebrush desert, the center of a section sixty miles ip length, whei e there is no night telegraph station. “The San Francisco and Ogden express trains pass at 1:35 o’clock am., at Tecoma, ten miles east of Montello. We left To&no, west of Mo niello, on time, our train being in charge of .Conductor Cassia I checked the waybills received at that station, ;aid down and went to sleep. The next thing which I was aware of was a rap at the ear door, as if an agent had called, and, supposing . fee trainwas at Tecoma, I got up and looked out, when a man pointed a gun at me and said: “ ‘Hop out, we are going through you’ “I jumped back and pulled the door to and' hooked it. They went over to the opposite side and said: “ ‘Open up the doors and jump out We are going to rob the train. ’ “I repned: ‘Just wait till I get my hoots on. ’ “ ‘Never mind your -boots. Hop right out here, and we will get through wife you, and then you can get your boots on ’ “Again the men outside said: ‘Open up, or we will burn you out and murder you’ “I then got in position and shot through the side or the car. Nothing was done for a few minutes, until one of tho robbers asked: “‘Ain’t you going to open up the door and cpme out?’ I “I told.them I was not coming out. Another demand was made for me to ‘hop out. 1 -I made no reply to feat They then . stationed one man at each comer of fee car between me and the baggage-car, and five shots were fired simultaneously from different quarters, all ranging toward the center of my car. Those were the shots that struck me—one on a huger, one on the hip, and one just below the breast, near the watch-pocket They then got up on the end of the car to uncouple the train, whereupon I fired two shots through the end of fee car. At this .time they heard No. 2, the westHbound ex_-press-train, coming. They backed our train up and went on the side-track, and sent two men down the road to meet No. 2. When it came up I heard Conductor Clement ask Casein: ‘ What are you doing here? . T want to speak to you’ The robbers aimed their guns at Clement’s head and told him to pud out, and he did.-'’ The nearest telegraph station was thirty miles. The robbers then compelled the brakeman to uncouple the express, move it forward, and. forced fee engineer to run ahead, and back down to wreck the express car, which was attempted three times without success, the holes in the doors being guarded by the stubborn messenger. Several attempts to burn tbe car were unsuccessful owing to the scarcity of wood, and, after renewed attempts to kill him through tbe doors, they mounted their horses and rode away.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.

Few things giro more pain than dread or apprehension. Mott people are able to toco apparent danger heroically, but the sodden and unexpected coining of aoine lndefinite calamity very naturally strikes terror to even the bravest For this reason lightning and tornadoes are considered terrible; their coming and going are so sudden, unan-nounc-d and unknown. For thia same reason an unknown disease, some poison In the blood, some malady that is gradually undermining the life,-is specially dreaded by all' thinking people. And, indeed, there are good reasons for such dread, for modern science discovers that seme virulent disorders show the least signs in their beginnings, while they have the worst possible symptoms. We know of many persons who nave doll and uncertain pains in various portions of the body; who are unnaturally tired one day and apparently well the next; who have an enormous appetite at times and a loathing of food soon thereafter. Such persons are really lit a dangerous condition,'Oven though they may not realize it The following statement of a most prominent physician, who has had nnuspal opportunities for investigation, is of so striking and important a nature that it will be read with interest by ail: . -> ASSOCIATED CHARITIES OF CINCINNATI BOABD OF DIRECTORS.

Editors: . ‘ » 1 have, during my professional career of many years’ practioe, treated a large number of various disorders, of which, perhaps, none have given me more trouble than the mysterious disease known as acute nephritis; and while it may seem strange, it is, nevertheless, true, that the physician is generally greatly annoyed by this mysterious T trouble, especially when the case is of hereditary origin. It is, doubtlesa the first stage of te® well-known, but terrible Bright’s disease, as the kidneys contain large quantities of albumen; and, while children and young people are especially liable to its attieka, it u prevalent with all classes, and usually continues until late in lifa One obstinate case which came under my observation was that of a fireman of this city who applied to me for treatment The case was diagnosed parenchymatous nephritis. The man was twenty-four years of age* " plethoric and light complected Me stated that he had suffered from urinary troubles from childhood, and that he had “ doctored" a hundred times, each time improving eomej, after which, in a short while, ne wodld relapse into his former state of misery. I prescribed the usual therapeutics known, to the Sssion with the same result that tny coles had obtained. He got better for a and then worse again; in fact, so bad that he had to lav off for some time. He suffered - intense pain; so much so that I confess I had to resort to hypodermic injections of morphia. My druggist, who knew how disgusted I waa with the cose, although not willing to desert the man, advised me to try- a remedy from which he (the druggist) himself had derived great benefit As a drowning man oatchea at a straw, I prescribed this remedy, not letting my patient,, however, know what I was giving him; and, although hot a believer In nor a patron of “patent, medicines,” I must confess that after my fireman had taken one bottle he grew much better. I made him continue its use for a period of two months, with the most gratifying results; It really worked wonders, and he owes his cure ana, present perfect health solely to the remarkable power of Warner’s Safe Kidney a*d Liver Cure, the remedy which I prescribed, ants he" teed; ' v -. Since the recovery of the man above mentioned, I have giveh considerable thought to the subject ofacute nephritis, or kidney difficulty,- and I find that its manifestations are most remarkable. It often appears without any special symptoms of its own, or possibly as a sequel to some other disease. Ip mag be a sequel to. scarlatina, diphtheria ana other illnesses, and even - arise fronft-' pJOgd nancy. The first symptoms frequently show themselves in the form-of high, fierce ana * intense pains in the lumbar. regions,*, i smalTof the back,” troublesome micturitions and frequent change's iff the coidr’of the urine, which at times diminishes perceptibly. If the Urine is entirely suppressed, the case, probably, will terminate fatally in a? very? few days, , Dropsy is . a consequence of the suppression, of urine, and the b - vereness of it is governed by the propqrthW of retention. The<nervous system becomes S rostrated with subsequent convulsions and regular circulation of the blood, wjiich, in; my estimation, eyentually might cause a diseased heart to give out As I have remarked, in many kidney diseases—yes, even in Bright’s disease ite^f—there is no perceptible pain in the back, and these troubles often assert themselves in various symptoms—for instance, in* troublesome diarrhoea, blood poison, impaired eyesight nausea, loss of appetite, disordered digestion, loss of consciousness, husky voice and many other complaints, too numerous to mention, Indeed, thousands of people are suffering from the first stages of Bright’s disease to-day, and.they do not know it. ■ln conclusion, I would like to state that I have, since my sucoess w*ith the fireman, repfeatedlv prescribed Warner’s,, Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and if • niy-’ professional brethren could only be bro.ught-^far, as to overcome their prejudice against proprietary medicines they would, undoubtedly, find themselves recompensed for their supposed sacrifice of liberty, as well as by the great benefi ts that would accrue to the world. Most Sincerely, O. Andebson, M. D., Superintendent

An Artist’s Model Who Had Seen Life.

An artist of my acquaintance was searching for a model in the streets of New York. Crossing Union Square, he saw the very type of face he required. The; owner of the -face a was seated on one of the benches in. an attitude of cheerful expectancy. The artist aocqCtied.; the old mtta and asked if he pose. He jfeadily consented, the studio at the appointed time, /tf&s employed, gave satisfaction, and became a Sprt of* retainer at the studio. white hpa4 and large white beard met with favor in aesthetic circles. By degrees, items ofaiis personal history came to light. He had been a golddigger in the early days of the mining excitement. He claimed to have experienced fifteen shipwrecks In the capacity of a sea Captain. Left an orphan at an early age, he had been educated by a physician, and had acquired some knowledge of inedioine. Fate threw him among the Indians of the far West, presumably* oh his way from the gold-diggings, and he became a medicine-ihan. He was Reamed in natural philosophy, and possessed., a mineralogical cabinet and also a singular collection of roots? eaoh twisted by nature into the shape of one of the letters of the alphabet. He* painted shells skillfully, and had an ambition to go round the world in a canpe. This remarkable person also wrote poetry and was a Yankee. It needed (My a master-brush to make this same representative Yankee as classic as a Millet peasant. —Charlotte Mams, in* the Century . . -v+a i *.»•< The Toledo, Ohio, See sayh< #; Dorse Alexander, editer ; of .the Bamesville, Ga., Nettß, has been ciired of rheumatism by the use of Bt.

The Bear Not in Winter Society.

like the hedgehog, the bear depends entirely upon its accumulation of fat, and during the fall is in prime condition, when, in October or November, it enters upon its winter home. One of these.nests of the black bear, found by the writer several miles from Lake Utowana, in the Adirondaoks, was beneath a huge tree, four or five of whose great roots branched out on each side. The earth had been removed on the south side, the interior lined with leaves, twigs* and other refuse matter that would make a oomfortable bed, and, covered with snow in a dense jungle, tiie animal had perfect security. Soon after the bear has retired the intestines shrink and become clogged or hardened with a substance known as tappan, in reality pine leaves and the banc of fir trees that they eat immediately prior to entering upon the state of hibernation, that remains in position until spring, and so slow is the exhaustion of fat, that is now the food-supply, that .animals have been found five months after their involuntary intombment as *fat as when they went in. During the sleep the skin .upon the balls of the feet is renewed. The males of the polar bear do not hibernate, a fact proved by the late polar expedition of the yacht *Eira.

Elephants Not So Large.

While the elephant is the largest beast known to the world, its size has been greatly exaggerated. Ten feet is a good height for one of the brutes, and a twelve-foot elephant is a big one. ' Jumbo, the notorious, is about seventeen feet high, and “still growing.” These quadrupeds reach between 70 and 80 years of age before they die, but there are instances of elephants living for over 200 years. —Cincinnati Enquirer. , - The -TJiiited States has $90,000,000 invested in finger-rings alone. *v--y The Conductor. , .

RHEUMATISM CURED.

Our best physicians agree that outward applications never cure rheumatism. The best oils and liniments only alleviate the pains. Rheumatism is a constitutional affliction, originating in impure and disordered blood. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the proper remedy, because in purifying the blood it corrects the acidity in which rheumatism begins to act. REMARKABLE CASE OF A SEA CAPTAIN. Capt. Mitchell, of the barque Antoine Sala, New York and Havana trade, came home in May, 1882, entirely helpless with rheumatism. He Went to the mountains with his wife, at whose request Oapt. Mitchell made use of Hood’s fflarsaparllla. He commenced to improve right away under the influence of Hood’s Barsaparilla, and was soon ableto return to Brooklyn. In two months from hts first trying Hood’s Sarsaparilla his rheumatism was gone, and he sailed in oommand of his vessel a well man. His wife writes: “My husband Is 48 years of age, and his health Is now better than it has been for some time; he has gained several pounds in weight.” If any wish to inquire more particularly they can address Mrs. M.
