SOME BIG MELONS.

X was talking with an old planter in the Arkansas bottoms about watermelons, and he threw away his “chaw" and remarked: - ~ ~ “Wall, I dunno. I was inter w&termellyons four seasons, and I lost money.” “Didn’t yon have good crops ?” “Right thar was the trouble, sir,” he replied. “The fast year I kinder let the niggers run the business, and ffl be chawed, sir, if six or eight of ’em didn’t break their backs lifting them ar mellyons into carts to tote ’em to the landing! I’ve got six cripples for life to take car’ of on account of that crop.” “And the second year?” “Well, I run the patch myself the second year. I thought I’d see what old Crittenden county could do when she had a fair show, and the result was party nigh what you call a calamity. I picked out 1,000 mellyons for shipment to Cairo, and it took six niggers and a span of mules to git each one down to the landing. I had ’em all sot up in a row, ready for the steamer, when along cum a lot of refugee niggers from the bottom lands and squatted on me.” “How?” “Why, every head of a family preempted one o’ them big mellyons for a cabin and went to keeping house inside of it as grand as you please. ” “You don’t tell me!” “And to show the ingratitude of the race let me tell you that they took the seeds and dumped ’em into the river right thar’ and started a sand-bar which obleeges the boats to land three miles further down the river. I reckon thar’ might be money in mellyons if you could git ’em up North, but you can’t stand around with a shot-gun and tell a nigger who has been overflowed out that he can’t come the cabin dodge on you. You see, it’s kinder human natur’ to feel sorry for ’em.— M. Quad.

THE INFLUENCE OF POE.

Poe, like Pope, threw himself into a war with dunces. He hit and thrust at them vigorously, he exposed a score of cheap popularities, he was merciless to the inexpensive reputation then readily acquired by every tootler on the whistle of Miss Eliza Cook. Since the time of Poe, American literature has wonderfully advanced in the acquisition of force and polish. American novelists, for example, almost give us lessons in careful elaboration of style, in reticence and in well-calculated effects. American poets are, perhaps, too numerous. That they get a hearing as they do, and appeal to a really large public, say much for the interest of the people in contemporary verses. In form, in the mere art of versifying, even the minor American poets of to-day show wonderful versatility and deftness. Commonplace is much less successful than it was of* old. We cannot but think that this rapid ripening of the American Muse (who was a raw, uniformed school-girl in the life-time of Poe) is due in part to the influence of that critic. His method is as unlike the method of Mr. Matthew Arnold as possible. But he exercised the same kind of influence. .Like Mr. Arnold he introduced some tinge of French thought and of French literature into the workmanship of his countrymen. Perhaps he was not a wide reader, and the element of affectation in his nature may be detected in his quotations of obscure Latin authors and in his Oriental allusions. It is hard to say how much knowledge was implied in these illusions—how rich the mine was from which Poe dug these sparkling fragments. Q till, he judged the writers of this country with some knowledge of other literatures. As he was quite ruth.less in his criticism he did good, but at his own cost.— Exchange.

A. FULL OUTFIT.

A reporter for a Nqw York journal asked a fashionable dress-maker how many dresses a young lady required for summer year. “Qh,” said Madame D., "about twenty, at least, if she is go ing out at all. She must have six white dresses, a pale pmk mull over satin, a pale blue, and another sea green; an amber satin, a black Spanish lace dress, a white lace dress, and two or three plain dark silks; besides a yachting dress, a rowing dress, a tennis costume, a tea gown, two or three riding habits, with special hats to go with each toilet, and shoes or slippers,parasols and fans, and gloves to match.”

Advance Step in Dentistry.

Havana, CUBA,— The most popular dentist of this city, Dr. D. Francisco Garcia, member of the Royal University, states that in all oases of troublesome neuralgia, arising from the teeth, his patrons are recommended to use St. Jacobs Oil, and the most satisfactory cures havq followed. It is a specific for toothache, earache, bodily pains, and proof against household aocidents.

RE-INVESTIGATED.

A Remtu-k»ble Statement Fully ConUUad tar Three Important Interviews. « Ah Unusual article from the Rochester (N. K) Democrat -and Chronicle vu published in this paper recently iftfl haa been the subject mpM ooaversatflm both in professional circles and on the street Apparently it caused more oommotion In Rochester, as , the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. R Henion, who is well known not only in Rochester, but in nearly every part of America, sent an extended article to this paper, a few days since, which was duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and reecue from what seemed to be certain death It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that farther Investigation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion at his residence, when the following interview occurred: ‘ That article of yours, doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you were in, and the way you were rescued, such as yon can sustain?” “Eveiy one of them and many additional ones, tew people ever get so near the grave as I did ana then return, and I am not surprised that the public think It marvelous It was marvelous” -now iu the world did yon, a physician, come to be brought so low?” “By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms I did not think I was sick. It is true 1 had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenouß the next; felt dull, indefinite pains, and my stomach was out of order, bnt I did not think it meant anything serious” “But have these common ailments anything to do with the fearful Bright’s disease which took so firm a hold on you?” “Anything? Why, they are the sure indications of the first stages of that dreadful malady. The fact is, few people know or realize what ails them, and I am sorry to say that too few physicians do either. ” “That is a strange statement, doctor.” “But it is a true one. The medical profession have been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping off the twigs when we should strike at the root The symptoms I have just mentioned or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels indicate the approach of Bright's disease even more than a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the cough, hut try to help the lungs. We should not waste our time trying to relieve the headache, stomach, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, the source of most of these ailments.” “This, then, is what yon meant when you said more than one-half 'the deaths which occur arise from Bright’s disease, is it, doctor?”

“Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases are torturing people to-day, when in reality it is Bright's disease in some one of its many forma It is a hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints which I now see were caused by Bright’s disease. ” “And did all these cases have simple symptoms at first?” “Every one of them, and might have been cured,, as I was, by the timely use of the same remedy—Warner’s Safe Cure. lam getting my eyes thoroughly open in this matter and think I am helping others to see the facts and their possible danger also. Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and see Mr. Warner himself He was sick, the same as I, and is the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He has made a Btudy of this subject and can give you more facts than I can. Qo, too, and see.br. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there are any quantity of them, showing the alarming increase of Bright's disease, its simple and deceptive symptoms, and there is but one way by which it can be escaped ” Fully satisfied of the truth and force of the doctor’s words, the reporter bade him good day and called on Mr. Warner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent; but, learning that the information desired was about the alarming inorease of Bright’s disease, his manner changed Instantly and he spoke very earnestly. “It is true that Bright’s disease has increased wonderfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that in the past ten years its growth has been 250 per cent Look at the grominent men it has carried off: Everett, umner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishops Haven and Peck, and others. This is terrible, and shows a greater growth than that of any other known complaint It should be plain to eveiy one that something must be clone to check this increase or there is no , knowing where it may end” “Do you think many people are afflicted with «it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?”

“Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking example of this truth which has just come to my notice. A prominent Profesor in a New Orleans Medical College was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright's disease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible malady were. In order to show the contrast between healthy and unhealthy fluids, he had provided a vial, the contents of which were drawn from his own person. ‘And now, gentlemen,’ he said, ‘as we have seen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in a state ol perfect health,’ and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test, As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed—his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright’s disease of the kidneys,’ and in less than a year he was dead.* “You believe, then, that it has no symptoms of its own and is frequently unknown even bv the person who is afflicted with it?” “It has no symptoms of Its own and very often none at alt Usually no two people have the same symptoms, and frequently death is the first symptom. The slightest Indication of any kidney difficulty should be enough to strike terror to anyone. I know what I am talking about for I have been through all the stages of kidney disease.” “You know of Dr. Henion’s case?” “Yea, I have both read and heard of it ” “It is very wonderful, is it not?” “A very prominent case, but no more so than a great many others that have come to my notice as having been cured by the same means.” “You believe, then, that Bright’s disease can be cured?” “I know it can I know it from the experience of hundreds of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends. ” “You speak of your own experience, what was it ?” “A tea falone. I had felt languid and unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty, I thought there was little hope, and so did the doctors I have sinoe learned that one of the phy-

sicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saving; ‘there goes a man who will be dead within a year.’ I believe his words would have proven true if I had not fortunately secured and used the remedy now known as Warner'S Safe Cure.” as ; “And this caused yon to manufaoture it?” “No, it caused me to investigate . I went to the principal cities, saw physicians prescribing and using it, and I therefore determined, as a duty I owe humanity and the suffering, to bring it within their reach ana nowit is known In every part of America, is sold in every drag store and has become a household necessity.” - • The reporter left Mr. Warner, much impressed with the earnestness and sincerity of his statements and next paid a visit to Dr. 8. A. Lattimore at his residenoeon Prince street Dr. Lattimore, although busily emSged upon some matters connected with e State Board of Health, of which he Is one of the analysts, courteously answered the Questions that were propounded him: “Did you make a chemical analysis of the oase of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years ago. Doctor?” “Yes, sir.” “What did this analysis show you?”. “The presence of albumen and tube casts in great abundance. ” “And what did the symptoms indicate?” “A serious disease of the kidneys.” “Did yon think Mr. Warner could reoover?” “No, sir. I did not think it possible* It was seldom, indeed, that so pronounced a case had, up to that time, ever been cured.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which‘cured him?” “Yea, I have chemically analyzed it and upor critical examination, find it entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious substances.” We publish the foregoing statements in view of the oommotion which the publicity ofßr. Henion’s article has caused and to meet the protestations which' have been made. The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond question and the statements they make cannot for a moment be doubted. They conclusively show that Bright's disease of the kidneys is one of the most deoept.ve and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, alarmingly Increasing and that it can he cured.

A LECTURE ON ECONOMY.

A stupid-looking tramp knocked at one of the finest residences in Austin, and was received by the lady of the house. “What do you want?” “Please’m give me a dime to buy a glass of bread; ’sense me, I mean a loaf of beer.” “I haven’t got any money.” “Haven’t you got no money? Then, madam, I would suggest that you move into a cheaper house; you are evidently living beyond your means. Economy is wealth. Economize in the matter of clothes and house rent. Out your expenses, and then, perhaps, some day you will have a dime to spare—a dime, madam, that may be the means of preventing a hungry and thirsty fellowmortal from committing suicide; or it may be a quarter—a coin of the value of 25 cents—that will upholster the dark clouds on the horizon of his dispairing sold with a silver-plated lining, and fill his stomach with Bock-beer. Good-day, fair lady.” —Texas Siftings. The law forbidding Jews to have Christian servants is revived in the Government of Eleff.

Neglect is the Foster Parent

Of disease, whatever be Its direct progenitor. Promptitude in resorting to a remedy is the only safe course, no matter how trivial the ailment may seem. As a safeguard against further damage to the system, sure to ensue, if the preliminary symptoms are disregarded, few medicines can be recommended with such confidence in cases of dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, rheumatism, kidney disorders and malarial fevers, as the national corrective, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Pure, botanic, prompt and thorough, it amply deserves the faith reposed in it by the Inhabitants of this continent, and of others where malarial disorders, to which it is specifically adapted, are exceedingly prevalent Its remedial is as widely recognized as its preventive efflicacy, and the fact has been frequenely brought to the knowledge of its proprietors, by physicians and others, that it has entirely eradicated disease in obstinate cases, where only temporary relief had been obtained up to the time of its use.

WALK MOKE AND SLEEP SOUNDLY. Mr. John W. Cols, Principal of the Gale School, Troy, N. Y., writes us Tbot, N. Y., April 7,1888. “Having been afflicted so» several yean past with ■ Illness, the oause of which was unknown to me tor e long time, and, my continued disability getting to be of so serious and distressing e character as to cause , great anxiety with my family and friends, I became satisfied upon cloae investigation that the oause of my sickness was the diseased condition of my kidneys At this time by aoddent s friend who had similar symptoms to mine informed me of the greet improvement in his health by taking Hunt’s Remedy, and persuaded me to try it I immediately commenced taking it and from the first bottle began to improve, and its continued use affords very encouraging results. I can sleep soundly, walk better, am free from pains, and the severe attacks of headache from which I suffered so much have disappeared, and I cheerfully recommend Hunt’a Remedy for all purpoaea for which it la advertised. I will add in doting that my wife haa used it very successfully for preventing the attacks of slok headache with whloh she had been afflicted from youth.” ALMOST DISHEARTENED. A prominent citizen tends us the following statement “For several year* I have been very seriously afflicted with a very severe pain In the back, which I long supposed to be lumbago or rheumatism of the back. More recently the pains had become more severe, so much so that it was with difficulty that I waa able to get out of bed in the morning. I had tried various remedies without any apparent relief. By the earnest solicitation of a friend I commenced taking Hunt’a Remedy about three week’s ago, and its Instantaneous benefits are wonderful, for I have had no pains In my back since taking the first three dose*; and am relieved from the pains, aches and exhaustive weakness, the painful symptoms that usually accompany disease of the kidneys. And I confidently expect to be completely and permanently cured by the use of it. I most cheerfully recommend Hunt’s Remedy to all who are afflicted with any kidney or liver disease. WILLIAM O. ARNOLD, Walnut street. Providence, B. I. March 29.1888.
