Uy relying on testimonials written in vivid glowing language of some miraculous cures Xnade by some largely puffed up doctor or patent medicine has hastened thousands to their graves; the readers baring almost insane faith that the same miracle will be performed on them, that these testimonials mention, while the so-called mtdicine is all the time hastening them to their graves.

A year ago I used frequently to visit the asylum for the blind in one of our largest cities. Early one delicious spring morning I was wilkin np the broad avenue leading fror the gate to the great stone building, when I suddenly stopped in breathless surprise at sight of a childish figure just before me. A more exquisite ana graceiui iorm my gaze had never fallen upon, lie was appar ently about six years of age, hut slightly and delicately moulded. The little figure was still, but instinct with motion and expresa a 1 as I ii sion. as li auaaeniy poisea in quick mgni. The upraised body and face turned slightly over the shoulder up toward the bending bough of an eim tree, the arms and hands stretched high above his head in eager inviting tremulousness as if to grasp a small hird. Citting hither and thither directly over head, and uttering shrill imperious notes. Flecks of sunshine sifting through thetender yellow-green of early spring, upon that jouEg wrapt countenance made indeed a lovsly vision. Ihe conviction then came to me, which has been confirme! since learning more of the little Franz, that this beautiful , being was net altogether of earth. Noiseltsily 1 apr roachea him but he de tected my first movement, and on my addressing him exclaimed, "There, there he is, it is the eirdie we used to feed when we lived in the high up. up, house" mounting with his wee hand, as if describing step after step far as bis arm could reach. "He his only just found me here, I have tink dat Kiaa have sent him," Iiis voiee was exquisite, with a peculiar ricg irs and clear I have neyer heard in any other. His unusually large and dark eyes were raised to my face, and with a sudden shock 1 now recognized he was blind. This waa ray first ras ting with little Franz, bat ahnest daily after that I met him on the grounds and heard from his own sweet lips nil lorrawful hiitory, which in my words aa set convey the charm lent by his beautiful voiee and broken English. I learned his stary littly by little as he chose to tell it. for fta we would walk hand in band for hall a hour witheut speaking, or he would sit ipea Bty kite lost in thought while I watahed his changing countenance and the graeef al sweep of the loag dark lashes on his cheek. There was a dignity and patience aaeui tais pure mue oeing mat inspired retpeet as well as love, and many times have I hesitated te disturb his re very. He and his sister Rica were born in Germaay. Ills father was an artist, his mother aamisician; "While I was yet saiall and walk not xauth alene" said Farnz, the family came to America. The father's great misfertuce aad intemperance brought him to griat poverty and then to death. The delicate mother soon followed hiaa out of this world, with her last strength straining her babss to her breast and calling upon the God of the fatberlesa to unite them in His kingdom. "My mother kiss me, oh much time, my mother kiss me and call me to go mit her. Then she kiss Rica and say 'Bring soon to me in Hi mil my blind boy." So were thfte children left alone, strangers in a strange laad. forlorn-looking tenement-houses were those of tumble down row, scarcely able to afibrd shelter from the blasts in winter, or the scorching sun through the breathless summer days. There were no green trees to yield a grateful shade about themdirty, brow, and sun-blistered they stood there. Vp ever so many flights of stairs, with only the roof between them and the sky, lived little Franz with Rica his sister and elder by two years. The girl's eyes were large, quick, and observant enough for two, so she shared them with her brother. The latter played the violin, the former sang charmingly, and Franz-Rica music was the Eride and delight of that humble neighborood, and brought the musicians many substantial rewards. "Rica," said Franz, one dreary rainy day, "if you could only read, it would not seem so dark, would it?" And for weeks after that, the children summed up all their wants in, "Oh, if we could only read." As the result of this, the girl decided to attend the public school half-days, and acquire the art, in as much as she was always to be eyes for both, while Franz sat in a shaded nook of the city's thoroughfare, and by his wondrous beauty and sweet music, picked up a living for the two. One evening as Rica led Franz homeward he knew she posse ss.l some unexpressed joy, a tone or a touch tell so much to the blind. "What is it sister?" he cried ; let me know now for I can not wait. Have you learned to read" Is it that?" "Ob, land, no! Why. that takes forever, 'most," said Rica ana this will take only just six weeks. "Oh its splendid, glorious, and only to think!" and Rica hugged the boy, and kissed his face and hair. "Can it be about me sister?" he whispered as he gently drew from the impetuous caress, "Have you found any one who will do for me what the good Jesus once did; will the light be put in my eyes?" And two little hands crept out in silent beseeching "Oh. no, no;" replied the girl softly. "I wish it was that; but it is not, my darling." and she walked more slowlv. but presently bursting out with, "But it is something ever so splendid, and wonderful too, to thine I shall be in a real show: iust as real as a cir cus, only its called an exhibition. I and every one are going to sing, some are going to speak pieces, and 1 am going to sing all by myself the bymyn He loves even me.1 There will be lights and flags and ice-cream and flowers and every splendid thing." "Tell me more," said little Fianz. "Well, added Rica, "its just possible there'll be a real baby elephant, it is to be so splendid. I ll not even taste the oranges. cakes and candies, but bring every mite home to you, darling," Thus for hours after reaching their dingy garret, sat the children revelling In the glories to come. Ardent lit tle Eicca, with rheeksxsplashed with red. drew lavishly upon her imagination, while sweet Franz sat thrilled with joy in contemplation of the happiness and honors in

store for his beloved luca. Xi.eix simple, U,Us UwzU WW 91(91

ing, and they talked of scarcely anything else during the weeks preceding this magnificent affair. Waking or sleeping their thoughts dwelt on it, and Rica was so wrought up with excitement she could hardly eat, and her lessons progressed bat slowly. At last it wanted only a week before the fine event. "Dear Franz," said Rica, I do jubt wish I had a white dress. All the girls at school are talking of their new lawns, dotted muslins and cashmeres. My calico will do I suppose but I do dreadfully much wish I could have a bran new true white one. But I never, never could get it." "Let us ask God for it" said the little Franz "Perhaps he will send it to us just this once." Bo every night, even on the noted one, these children prayed for a white dress. It did not come. Rica didn't fret, however, for the "show" in itself proved a powerful antidote. "I've washed up my calico so clean," said Rica on the evening in question, and the ribbon Lottie Garland gave me looks mighty nice in my hair. I guess I'll do plenty well enough and oh Franz, my darling, I love you so and I'm so happy. "I love you so and I'm bo glad," chimed Franz. And I wont forget anything, I'll have such lots to tell you and I will stuff my pocket just full for you, now its time to go. The time has really come. Oh my, but my feet are white and clean though! "Good-bye," and she beat down to kiss Fracf tremulous with joy. Out of the door, down the dark and rickety stairs she sped out of poverty alley, on, on, through the dirty street till the brilliantly lighted avenue was reached where stood the conceit hall. Out of breath, lips parted, eyes gleaming, Rica crowded through the entrance into the dressing room. The child gave a sob of extacy as she gazed npon the gordeous spectacle. How beautiful seemed the flitting throng in their dainty dresses, satin shoes, aad rich bright sashes. Rica clapped her small hands and held them close against her breast. For a long time she stood in silent, wonderine admiration, her thoughts outside herself, drinking in all the beauty and delight around her. Suddenly she noticed that she stood quite isolated, and that a large group of girls, gathered at some distance were whispering and occasionally casting glances at her. What did it mean, she wondered. "Why Rica Stroeble!" exclaiaued Daisy Leslie, just now spying her, "You'll be awful late, you'd better go home and get ready as fast as ever yon can." "I am ready," said Rica; looking almir-

mgly at a spangled fan. You're not going to wear that dress, I hope!" exclaimed the group in chorus. "I wouldn't te seen" added one scornfully, "But I have no other" persisted Rica and its so clean, and see, Lottie, how pretty your ribbon looks in my hair, she addei, with an endeavor ar. reconciliation. Here tl- children closed in a whispering ring aroui.d Lottie Garland, leaving outside little Rica, who seemed more bewildered than embarrassed. "My goodness!" loudly exclaimed Dora Marcy. She husn't any shoes on her feet, did you ever, not a single shoe or stocking on her two living feet. And her little smothered laughter went the rounds. Then two from the circle left the room excitedly. Rica sat aown uwt corner, pulling her frock over the little carefully washed feet. he was tired, very tired and her throat was parched, fche could not help wishing for the lemonade. A hush, and the principal, with two teachers were ushered in by the children who had left a few moments before. Rica rose "There she is," said one ef tke girls, and she hasn't any on, for you can see for yourself! The ladies were too well bred t exclaim as did the children, but they looked at each other questioningly and much perplexed. Advancing, one said: "My child could you not wear a white dress to-night?" "And. dear, where are your stockings and shoes?" inquired the othfe pleasantly. "i uave none. 1 wauted a white dress. but it didn't come; so I managed;" and the brave little girl smiled brightly out of her trouDle. The teachers held a consultation far at least five minutes; then, realizing the blow it was to the child, they drew near again. said they were "very sorry," and if they had , i i i 1 1 . a . oniy aaown aooui it im nme, etc., see naa such a sweet little voice, etc; but really under the circumstances they could not permit her to appear in that costume, if only for her own sake. Then as the white pleading frightened face looked out freca the one generally so happy and bright, one added: "And you don't feel well, do you, dear? You look really ill. We will tell the people she was unable to remain," she adTed, addressing the principal. "Such a splendid voice," the later remarked; but then she certainly cannot be well to-night I never saw such a hue on a mortal face. Here, child, is a bright five cent piece for you; now I think you had better run home before it gets latter. Its time for the entertainment to commence. Dazed and unsteady Rica groped for the door. Out she went from the brilliant corridor; out from the elegant concert hall. These thing were not for her. On through the spleL-lid avenues till she reached tne shelter of a dark by-way. Then the white drawn lips uttered the first sound since the blow fell. Stretching out her arms and throwing up her face, a groan rose from her breast such as is terrible to hear from a woman, most horrible from a little child, l'overty had thrust its cold steel into her soul. She staggered on through the streets, on and up to little Franz and with a despairing cry cast herself at his feet. Ere the night was over all had been told. The blind boy spoke only consoling words, and offered the most tender and pitying caresses. The day following Rica did not go to school; she lay tossiDg on the old straw bed, unconscious of realities, though talking incessantly. Franz was nearly wild. He could feel her burning face and hands, hear her incoherent mutterings and he knew she must be very ill. Well, there were weeks of suffering and watching but the tumble-down-row held warm hearts, and Rica did not want for care. One night she opened her eyes and looked mere calmly around, faithful Franz sat at her bed-side, sorrowing. "My darling," she whispered faintly "I do love you sc. My dear, dear little Franz, mother has been here ana God wants me to sing in Heaven. Come closer, my Franz. He gives me a new dress, oh so new, so white, so beautiful and he says He loves me, Franz, and will give me charge over my little brother, you're so blind, darling, and I'll never let you fall and hurt yourself, never." Then she paused, soon saying more faintly, "Rut it wont be long before I come to take yon with me little brother. Franz get the violin and let me try my piece. The agonized boy found the instrument, and the feeble voice struck np the concert piece "He loves even me," but it was never finished on earth. The angels came to that dingy abode and bore the singing little girl away to Him who redeemed her, and "who being no respecter of persons, has chosen the poor of this world as heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love Him," And what of .bereft little Franz! The city missionaries found him at last, and he drifted to the Asylum. He finished his story to me on the last day I ever saw him. As he ceased rpeaking, I reverently raised his dear hand to my lips. A litter later we walked silently up to the great front door, where little i ranz parted from me with a gentle inclination of the head. Going a few steps down the wide hall with one of the ladies of the Institution, he stopped, returning to me, seeming to think with his usual thoughtfulness for the feelings of others that 1 might be hurt by his silent parting. Placing his hand in mine, he said, as if in gratitude for the sympathy I had felt too keealy to put in words, "I taak vou verr much. Good night," with a geatie, gracious mauaer. Aad

expression, most beautiful, and never to be forgotten. Next day I left the city for a visit of two months. On my return I hastened to the Asylum. InaHirin? for my little friend I

was struck, before thsir reply was given, by the grieved expression of those about me. Little. Frana had died three weeka before. Falling asleeD on the grounds, a summer shower had rained upon him. It was some time before he was missed In the building, and when search was made, he was discovered in great pain, his little chest tightened up with congestive cold. During a suffering illness he displayed heroic courage; never, even at times most trying, forgetting the convenience and comfort of others. Willing hands, and loving hearts ministered to his every need; his courteous "thank you" never neglected when handing back the medicine cup, conferred a reward on those who waited npon him. Realizing his condition, he would talk: much of Rica and "Himmü." The dear child never seemed quite to understand that Himmil aad Ileaven were the same. This mother and Rica were in II im mil he would insist. "How will it be?" he would often repeat musingly, when wondering about the liieoa which he was so soon to enter. Loving mes sages were left for me and to all who had been kind to him. As his face grew wan and somewhat drawn by suffering, the expression became even more etherealized none could look npon him without rising tears and a certain lov ing awe. The end approaching, dear little Franz composed his sweet limbs, folded the deli cate hands over his breast, and repeated slowly, "How viil it bef" A pause, then, "Mooter Rica My Saviour Jesus," with an intonation impossible to impart, he yielded up his pure spirit to its maker. RASCALITY. What Became ef the 50,000 Contributed by Goold Teward Blaine's Election. 1 Special to Chicago Times. New York, June 13. The World this morn ing prints the following: "What did John J. O'Brien and Robert G. McCord do with the $50,Q0 of Jay Gould's money which they received tO help elect Blaine President in 1S34? is the question that is bothering the local Republican politicians. Men who are in a position to know say that O'Brien and McCord were handed that sum of money, but there is great doubt about their haying used it for the success ot the grand old party. There have been many stories told about the" $50,000 which Gould contributed to bribe voters in this city, and Colenel George Blias has charged that the money was not put where it would do the most good, and has insinuated that O'Brien has not given an account of the manner in which the sum was spent, and that the result of the election does not show that money was used to any beneficiary extent. THE TRUE STORY of Gould's $50,000, as told by one as acJuainted with the facts, is as follows: John . O'Brien aad his side partner in the busi ness of politics, Bob McCord, went to Stephen B. Elkins and engineered an introduction to Gould. O' Brien and McCerd had consultation with Gould in the Western Union building on the Saturday preceding the election of 1884. O'Brien told Gould that money was necessary to elect Blaine; that the machine in the city had barely enough funds to meet the routine expenses of the election ; that if a bit; sum was not forthcoming Cleveland would poll a heavier vote in New York County than was anticipated. O'Brien also told Gould that if he ceuld have a jood sized pile of greenbacks he would scatter it among the district leaders, who would use it to cut down Democratic major ities on the East and West Sides of the city, which would more than make up for the losses to the Republican party from the independent and mugwump vote ia tke center of the island. O'Brien also gave Mr. Gould to understand that A SEAL HAD BF.E.H MADE with Tammany Hall. Under the agreement Tammany Hall was to give Blaine 20,004 votes, and in return Grant, for Mayor, was to be run out of the Republican boxes in eight assembly districts. O'Brien intimated that he and John Kelly had formed the compact. Tanmany Hall, however, wanted $25,000, to be used by the organization te carry the deal into effect. Gould listened to O Brien and told him to call on Monday. O'Brien and McCord did not fail to put in an appearance. They came in a carriage and fully prepared to carry away the boodle. They did not see Gould this time, but met his partner, Connor. O'Brien and McCord had $50,000 in bills in the carriage when they droye away from the Western Union building. They were at once driven to the Metropolitan Hotel, where they hired a room. The money was taken to the room by O'Brien and McCord. After they had remained there together an hour O'Brien left McCord in charge. O'Brien hurried to police headquarters, where all the district leaders had gathered in his office, the bureau of elections, at his request, O'Brien told each one to go to the room at the Metropolitan Hotel, where they would find McCord, who would give them their share for their districts. The leaders all knew that there was to be A BIO SCM MSTRIBCTED, and most of them knew that it came from Gould. The amount distributed at the Metropolitan Hotel to the leaders by O'Brien and McCord did not exceed $.iO,(XK3. The average was $1,250 a district. Some districts got more than others. No one knows to this day what became of the difference between $30,000 and $50.000. After the election Gould became suspicious of O'Brien and McCord, and gave his opinion that the $50,000 wa not properly used. It was his opinion that if the money had all been used for the purposes for which it was given Blaine would have polled a larger vote in the city, and would have carried the State and been elected. John Kelly heard of the statement O'Brien had made to Gould about a deal with Tammany Hall, and repudiated it. The election proved that there was no deal with Tammany Hall, and that Gould had a political confidence game played on him." A Bank Cashier Shot on the Street. Milwaukee, Wis., June 19.

The following from a Mississippi paper will be read with interest: "On an island of many thousand acres of level land, spreading out, as it seems to the eye, to the very verge of the horizon, with placid lakes and orange groves and nectarines and figs, with other fruits of the tropics, lives Joe Jefferson, old Rip Van Winkle, who once lived at Grand Gulf, Miss., long before he owned his trusty gun or his faithful dog SDyder. We had a conversation with our venerable lady friend, Mrs. Sarah K. Sevier, a day or so ago, darin? which she gave us an interesting sketch of her late journey among friends in Louisiana. She met many wko were once accustomed to walk the shady avenues of our little town, and all of them inquired alter the old place with affect onate interest. Among the many she met was our once dear old neighbor and friend, Mrs. Dr. AbDay, and the jolly little Major, Dr. Sid. bhe paid a visit to Orange Island, the ele gant retired home of "Old Rip Van Winkle," Joe Jefferson, and was delighted with the in telligent ana auaoie owner oi tne o.uuu acres of splendid landscapes and orange groves who is happy for having made every body else happy. He brought out his aged wines. which our old prohibition friend might have barely tasted just to see how wine a century old "did taste. Ia parting, our always thoughtful friend, said: "Mr. Jefferson. I would like to invite you to visit Port aicson, tut it s too small a place te be of interest to you." "Not so, madame," said Old Rip. "I have been in Port Gibson, and I iived a year when a boy at Grand Gulf with my mother." When the final parting took place our lady friend, who is always reaiy to talk religion, said: "Well, Mr. Jefferson, we shall not meet again on earth ; I hope we'll meet in heaven." "Oh yes, madam," said Old Rip, '."I'll be certain to be there. We're bound to meet in heaven." Imagine the twinkle in Old Rip's eye. Our venerable lady friend said on leaying him, "Well, sü, I have never been a theater-goer, but I can say that I have conversed with two of the greatest actors of this or or any age." "Ah," said Mr. Jefferson, "and who were they?" "One," she said, "was the elder Kooth the other, Mr. Joe Jefferson," and the tete-a-tete ended. Delicate diseases of either sex radically cured.

Lafayette, Ind., shares,with twenty-three other cities and towns in the United States, the distinction of being named after the great French patriot who did so much for this country and his own, but it is alone in the honor of being mentioned in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Life la the lively pushing city on the Wabash, with its many cosy homes, fine public buildings and general air of prosperity and enterprise, isivery pleasant, and recently many of its citizens feel that it has assumed new charms since rheumatism has been robbed of its terrors. This great benefaction, however, is not one which rejoices this particular Lafayette alone, but it has been given to other Lafayettes as well, and to the world. Athlophoros is the magic remedy which drives away rheumatism and neuralgia, and Lafayette has only shown its characteristic enterprise in recognizing the new cure's many virtues. Among those whom it has benefited is Mrs. Francis Heath, of No. 79 Ferry 6treet, an old resident and the mother of banker Heath. In answer to one who recently called on her todearn the facts in the case she gave this account : " I have had rheumatic pains in my feet for a number of years. They affected mo at times so that it was with much difficulty that I could walk, especially in going down stairs. Athlophoros was first recommended to me by Bishop Bowman. I did not get it at that time, but kept trying other medicines. It was again recommended to me by a lady. I then sent for and bought a bottle. I took a dose, and it pee med to me as if I could feel it go through my system until it came directly to the sore spot. It felt just as a little Btream of water looks when during its course it comes in contact with a pebble. One or the other must give way. The water may run around the store, but that was not the way Athlophoros did. It did not go around the pain, but drove it away. The relief was almost instantaneous. While I am getting along in years and cannet expect to get rid entirely of these pains at once, yet a small dose of Athlofhoros in a little cream the way in which find most pleasant to take it rclievca the pain immediately." Mr. Baldridge, who is in the real estate and insurance business at No. 9 South Third street, and who lives at No. 17 North Sixth street, happening to be passing while Mrs. Heath was speaking, she called him in and he gladly told how he had been cured of rheumatism by Athlo phoros. "I was just about to start down to my office one morning last winter," he said, " when a terrible pain took me right in the hip and then ran down the sciatic nerve as quick as lightning. It was with much Sain and distress that I managed to get own to my office at all. " My business being such that it was necessary for me to be at the office every day, I was obliged to hobUe along and get there the best I could. I Buffered for BomO tintt in this ' way, trying all kinds of remedies, but nothing seemed to check the disease until I commenced using Athlophoros. The first four doses gave me relief. I only used one bottle, and ant perfectly well, as you Bee me now, I have never had any return of the pain since I took the Athlophoros." If you cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist, we will sent It express paid, on receipt of regular price one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy It from your druggist, but If be hasn't it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed, ATHiopuoaos cow U2 Wall street, cw Voifc STOPPED FREE V a r f i M I I - II N VV Ins" Psnont Reitws I I II H PilDr.KLIME SGaSlT I U U Nerve RESTORER I - 1 .t .
