JLUSTRAUA, A. Walk Across the Great Island. From Pnblic Opinion. Mr. Ernest Morrison, a sen of Mr. George Morrison, of the Scotch College, Geelong, Victoria, is a young man "whose love of exploration and adventure has, led him, thus early in life, to undertake long rambles in the baclr, country of the colonies. Several years ago he determined to devote his vacation to a -walk from Qneenscliffe, some forty miles south of Melbourne, on the western shores of Port Phillip, to Adelaide, the capital of the adjacent colony of South Australia. This journey he accomplished apparently -without much difficulty, and, his success nerving him to greater efforts, hr planned a still longer -walk. He detdsdmd to cross the continent frontf niJ!t&9k south, starting from the shores of l&e Gulf of Carpentaria trad making Mdurne his goal a similar journey to that undertaken by Burke and Wills, except that his starting point was the northern instead of the southern shores of the continent. He set out from Normanton, on the Gulf of Carpentaria, a week before Christmas, unaccompanied and unarmed, and followed down the 3iamantina and Thompsomrivers into Central Australia. He struck the Bulloo at Thargomfndah, and the Paroo at Hungerf ord. North ol Thargomindah he was caught by very heavy rains, and the level country thereabout was so flooded that for a distance of some 250 miles he had nearly as much wading and swimming as walking. These central plateaux are occasionally subject to tremendous floods, which extend as far as the eye can reach, and, s a rule, put a complete stop to locomotion. Even when the waters have subsided the country is almost impassable, owing to the depth and holding character of the deposit of black mud left behind, which, however, is, to a certain extent, of advantage to the squatter as a fertilizer to the soil. Mr. Morrison crossed the River Darling at Wilcaunia, well known as one of the hottest places in the globe; the Laotian at Booligal, the Murrumbigee at Hay, and the Murray at Echuca, whence his route southward lay through well-settled country. He finally reached Melbourne in safety, after an adventurous walk of 2,000 miles, which occupied him 120 days. The fatigue he underwent and the risks he ran in the course of his long, solitary excursion can be fully appreciated by those only who know Central Australia. The journey was made in the height of summer, when, at places like 'Wilcannia and Echuca, it is by no means uncommon for the mercury to stand at from 110 clegrees to 120 degrees in the shade. North of the northern limits of Victoria the blacks are apt to show hostility to exploring parties, and a man who ventures in this country alone and unarmed must be possessed of no small amount of hardihood. The brief report of Mr. Morrison's walk states that his rate of traveling was much impeded by the heavy weight he had to carry; but it would be interesting to learn with what store of provisions he commenced his journey, as furnishing a guide to those explorers who have to economize space and weight as far as practicable. Mr. Morrison's feat commands the admiration of all interested in exploration, and must be set down as one of the most remarkable of pedestrian achievements.

LABOR for leisure. The wisdom of living to-day is not different from what it was in the days of Aristotle. The end of labo. , in his opinion, was to obtain leisure. The same idea of life needs to be kept in view to-day. It may be that a strain is mistaken for a tendency but it certainly seems to be a tendency with the better class of educated persons among us to take life more and more in Aristotle's sense of what it should be. They are looking to the realization of the ideal of life in the day's doings to the end that thinking and working should lead to better living. The popular half-Saturday holiday which has been allowed during the .summer months has been a recognition on the part of tradesmen that their employes need a large amount of rest, and the whole ordering of things this year indi. cates that at last more wholesome ideas of living have begun to prevail amonfr the people. It would seem as if truer ideas of the direction and management of life were entertained, and that th'ere is a general conception of what rf the "gospel of relaxation" actually mejans. It is a gre it thing to have business; and labor so ordered that each day aiman may be something more than a machine so ordered that he shall eavn his bread by the sweat of his bror, and use his mind and social energies as an offset to his practical and constant duties. With this partial arreetj of the living at high pressure, which hs been the special danger ,of wr brightejf.men, one of the greatest difficulties hj American, life is somewhat removed. Yet who shall keep the balance fox himself? Who shall ltreup, to this-ideal OS a life in which the compensations take care of themselves?'' This is the on point most needed to be pressed home to-dayl

upon the people. The question is how

1 to save our best; and, though we have begun to understand the problem, we are still at the threshold of its proper solution. What is wanted in America to-day is the man who is capable of living wisely and of teaching his neighbors to do the same. If any who are just through with vacation have reached this point in their personal development, they cannot do better than live up to their knowledge and communicate their atmosphere to modern society. Boston Herald.

THE REAL FIGHT WITH RAPIERS. We must not suppose that the rapier fight of the sixteenth century resembled modern fencing. It was the commonor practice to hold a dagger -in the left hand for parrying. This, by the way, has odd analogy in China, where instruments like blunt skewers are used for th same purpose. And not only did the use of the dagger, or, in its absence, of the gauntleted left hand, make the condition different from those of the modern fencing school, but the principles and methods were as yet crude, and unformed. The fencing in "Hamlet" is now presented according to the modern fashion, and Dumas and Gautier, both of whom know the historic truth well enough, freely introduce the modern terms and rules into the single combats of their novels. In each case this course is justified by artistic necessity. But if we look to the engravings in Savido or Grassi we shall find that "Hamlet and Laertes," when the play was the novelty of the Globe Theater, stood at what would now be thought an absurdly short distance (for the longe, or delivery of the thrust by a swift forward movement of the right foot and body, with the left foot as a fixed point, was not yet invented) with their sword-hands down at their knees, the points of their rapiers directed not to the breast, but to the face of the adversary, and their left hands held up in front of the shoulder in a singularly awkward attitude. A great object was to seize the adversary's sword hilt with the left hand, and this perhaps explains the "scuffling' m which Hamlet and Laertes change foils a thing barely possible in a fencing match of the present day. An incidental illustration of the part of the left hand in defense is given in "Borneo and Juliet," where it is related that Mercutio "With one band beats Bold death aside, and with the other sends It back to Tybalt The duel with rapier and dagger had particular rules of its own, and the handling of the "case of rapiers" (that is, a rapier in either hand) was also taught, but, one would think, only for display. MacMUlan's Magazine. SPAIN'S DECLINE. The degeneracy of Spain is one of the most remarkable instances of a nation's decline from paramount greatness to comparative insignificance in relation to other nations. There was a time, not remote in history, when Spain exercised a controlling influence over the rest of Europe, and was a more decided autocrat in the exercise of that power than any nation has been since the days of the Boman empire But internal political commotions, party revolutions, and infamous misrule gradually undermined her strength, and her greatness began diminishing. Other principalities forced her to concessions that ate up her provincial possessions, until now there is but a shadow left of the former magnificence and stupendous power of wealth. Yet there is no reason why that country should not regain something of its lost prestige, and . get a practical place in the dominion of politics, if she can never again attain the romantic supremacy that made its fame and effect world wide. It has a rich and fertile territory, vast agricultural and mineral resources in its possessions, and a population of IT.OOOjOOO people, who are generally hardy and for the most part capable of industry and enterprise. Good government is the thing needed. The proper control at the head of affairs might lift the country up politically, and give it eminence among the potentialities of Lfeurope. A little Yankee hard-headness and shrewd diplomacy would do it. Inter Ocear.. HE TAKES THE ODDS. "Drap dat wattermillion, Jeemes, drap dat million. Don't ye know dat de cholery is in Europe?"

THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY.

TTpon i Subject of Vital Interest, Affecting the Welfare of All. The following: remarkable letter from one of the leading and I est knoma scientific writers of the present day U specially significant, and should be of unusual value to all readers .Hyfab dosire to keep pace with the niarih of modern discoveries and events; ' . . "A general' demand for reformation. is one of the moat '-distinctive characteristics of the nineteenth century. The common people, as veil as the more enlightened and relined, cry out with iio uncertain voice to be emancipated from the slavery of conservatism and superstition which has held toe masses in gross ignorance during a large portion of the world's history, and in the lime of the Dark Ages' came near obliterating the last glimmer of truth. Dogmatic assertions and blind empiiicism are losing custe among all classes of all countries. I'eople are beginning to think for themselves, and to regard authority much less than argument. Men and women are no longer willing that a few individuals should dictate to them what must be their sentiments and opinions. ' They claim the right to solve for themselves the great questions of the day, and demand that the general goad of humanity shall he respected. An the result of this general awakening, we see on every hand unmistakable evidences of reformatory action. People who, a few years ago, endured suffering the most intense, in the name of duty, now realize the utter foolishness of such a course. Men who were under the bondage of bigoted advisers allowed their health to depart; sutler od their constitutions to become undermined tnd finally died martyrs to a false system of treatment. There are millions of people tilling untimely graves who might have lived to a green old age, had their original troubles been taken in time or properly treated. There are thousands of people to-day thoughtlessly enduring the first symytoms of some serious mnlaay, and without the slightest realization of the danper that is uefore them, They have occasional headaches, alack cf appetite one day and a ravenous one the next, or an unaccountable feeling of weariness, sometimes accompanied by nausea, and attribute all these trouble ; to the old idea of ' a slight cold' or malar. a It is high time that people awoke to a knowledge of the seriousne s of these matters and emancipated themselves from the professional bigotry which controls them. When this is done and when all classe s of physicians become liberal enough to exclude all dogmas, save that it is their duty to cure disease as quickly and as safely as possible; to ma ntain no other position than that of truth honestly ascertained, and to indorse and recommend any remedy tbat has been found useful, no matter wuat its origin, there will be no more quarreling among the doctors, while there will be great rejoicing throughout the world. "I am well aware of the censure that will be meted out to me for writing this letter, but 1 feel that I cannot be true to my honest convictions unless I extend a helping hand and indorse all that I know to be good. The extended publications for the past few yeais. and graphic descriptions of different diseases of the kidneys and liver have awakened the medical profession to the fact that these diseases are greatly increa-ing. The treatment of the cloctois has been largely experimental and many of their patients have died while they were casting about for a remedy t j cure them. -It is now over two years since my attention was first culled to the use of a most wonderful preparation in the treatment of Blight's disease of the kidneys. Patients had frequently asked me about the remedy and 1 had heard of remarkable cures effected by it, but like muuy others I hesitated to recommend its use. A personal friend of mine had been in poor 1 ealth for some time and his application for insurance on his lite had been rej cted on account of Bright s disease. Chemical and microscopical examinations of hi urine revealed the presence of large quantit.es of albumen and granular tdbe casts, which confirmed the correctness of the diagnosis. After trying allithe usual remedies, I directed him to use tins preparation, and was greatly surprised to observe a decided improvement within a month, and within four months, no tube casts could be discovered. At that time there was present only a trace of albumen; and he felt, as he expressed it, 'perfectly well,' and all through the influence of Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy he need. "After this I prescribed this medicine in full doses in both acute and chronic nephritis Bright's disease, and with the most satisfactory results. My observations were neither small in number nor hastily made. 1 hey extended over several mouths and embraced a large number of ca-es which have proved so satisfactory to my mind, that I would earnestly urge upon my professional brethren the importance of giving a fair and patient trial to Warner's Safe Cure. In a large class of ailments where the blood is obviously in an unhealthy state, especially where glandular engorgements and inllammatory eruptions exist, indeed in many of those fonns of chronic indisposition in which there is no evidence of organic mischief, but where the general health is depleted, the face sallow, the urine colored, constituting the condition in which the patient is said to be 'bilious. the advantage gained by the use of this remedy is remarkable. In Bright s disease it seems to act as a solvent of albumen; to soothe and heal the intiamed membranes; to wash out the epithelial debris which blocks up the tubnli urinfr' and to prevent a destructive metamorphosis of tissue; "Belonging as I do to a branch of the profession that; believes that no one school of medicine knows all the truth regarding the treatment of disease, and being independent enough to select any remedy that will relieve my patients, without reference to he source from whence it comes, I am glad to acknowledge and commend the merits of this remedy thus frankly.

AliMY OF THE POTOMAC. On The Cliickahomlny. Under date of May 8, 1883, Col, S.F.TinniTxs, of Dover, N. H., boiuIr nu the following-: "While on duty in the army of the Potomac in the swamps o the Chickahominy I contracted a complication of diseases that culminated in spinal tronUe, parnlyms on ono side, and severe disease of the kidneys and bladder, and pci-eat urinal weakness. For a long time I was under tho treatment of the best physicians, and tried many o the so-called remedies, but received no permanent benoflt. When I was in the drng business in Boston I hoard favorable accounts of the efficacy of Hunt's Kemedy for diseases of the Lidnoys and urinary organs, and, having decided to give it a trial, I purchased some at Wiugate's drng store, Dover, N. H, and have received great relief from using it. The severe pains in my back are removed, and I am able to sleep soundly and obtain rest at night which (or so long a time I could not do and the weakness in the urinary organs has been relieved, and I greatly regret that I did not test the great merits of Hunt's Remedy when I was first taken sick, as I am confident it would have saved me from several years of suffering; and I am more strongly convinced of this after hearing of tho most remarkable aires effected by Hunt's Remedy hi a case of Briglit'n Disease here in onr midst in Dover, alter the patient had been pronounced incurable by celebrated physicians."

Shall We Let tlie Child Die? A hard-hearted political economist, looking at a pale and puny cftilop feebly gasping as it lies upon a pillow, says that the child might astweR1 die. It is so weak and poor that its life will never be worth much anyhow.. There are already a good many people in the world who are of notsraucb. account anyhow. And what's the use of adding to their nuraberranothet . weakling, who has but slender chance of ever amounting to anything? Now ask that child's mother what she thinks about letting thfr child: die. About this time the hard political economist had better get out ol : the way. " Lei my child die? No I Not As long as there is a remedy tobe found that ztnll save that child, the child shall not die FU spendmyldst: dollar to save the child F Well, try a bottle of Brown's Iron Bitters; on that child.
