The Second Annual Reception
of the Y. M. L. A.
The Y. M. L. A. of Wilton, held their
second annual reception on the evening 0f
June 15th. Quite an account of the sup-
periwas given in the GAZETTE of that week
and to this we refer our readers for all
minor details. The chief Icaturesot the
entertainment were The History and
Prophecy, by Mr. J. J. lIubbell, and the
after-dinner spccllesl especially the ‘9'
spouse to the toast, “The Y.L. R. 0.,"by
Mlsscs Davenport and Clark. We can
only give a short accountof the former,
the latter by permission, we subjoin in
full. After giving a short account of the
Association’s work for the preceding year,
Mr. Hubbcll went on to'show what the
Fates had in store for each one of the As-
socialion’s members. I-le imagined that
time had sped on until now the year 1903
was at hand, and that he, as captain of a
canal boat, was sllting calmly on his quar-
ter—deck reading a bundle of letters that
had arrived since he was last in port.
They proved to be from his old Y. M. L. A.
comrades, informing him how the world
had used them since the days of long ago.
One of lhc'numbcr had blossomed out as
a railroad contractor and was living in a
palatial residence in Timbuctoo;.auolber
neglecting the elder Mr._Wellcr’s advice,
had Inairicd a widow with five children
and all his energies were devoted to keep-
ing the wolf fronl the door. A third,
led away by the favorite pastime of his
youth was pitcllcr for a league nine, while
his bosom companion had developed into
a Professor of Sanskrit at Yale. Still an-
othcr from whose youth better things
might have bcen hoped had adopted the
law and had served two years in the New
York Legislature. One had gone to
Tombstone, whence he wrote the captain
that he had taken up the trade of an auc-
tioneer in which he found his youthful
check and loquacity of inestimablc value.
One noted formerlyifor his quiet ways,
wrote that he was the pastor of the Bald
Hill Meeting-house. in which he regularly
held forth. One had become an editor;
and another was running a sheep frrm in
California. But in the meantime Wilton
had grown to be a city, owing to the dis-
covery of a mine, and its mayor wrote
that he should be happy at any time to
welcome the captain home again and show
him the sights of the town. One gnly of
all the number had married “a daughter
of his people," and was cultivating his
mother in-law’s farm in South Wilton.
After the supper, which was quite an
elaborate affair, the toast, “Our Associa-
tion,” was proposed and Mr. Middlcbrook
responded in a few chosen words. “Our
State” was responded to by the Rev. Mr.
Merwin, who made a very happy address
indeed, during the delivery of which he
was more than once interrupted by the ap-
plause of his auditors. Mr. Olmstead next
spoké with all his accustomed force and
vigor on the subject “Education,” which
he said he was glad to speak on as it gave
him a chance to air his views. Mr. Geo.
Wm. Ogden spoke in response to “Our
Young Ladies,” but judging from his rc-
marks his acquaintacc with the fair sex
must indeed be of a painful nature and
we cannot regard him other than a Misog-
ynist. Mr. C. L. Brownson spoke elo-
quently in response to “Our Young Men,”
making one of the most finished speeches
of the evening. The toast “The Y. L. R.
C. was responded to by two of its mem-
bers, Miss Sarah L. Davenport and Miss
Mary C. Clark. The response takes the
form of a discussion between the two, as
to whether women are inferior to men in
mental capacity, a question on which the
association had debated and decided in the
afiirmative, we give it below entire.
After the last toast had been responded
to the President arose In his seat and after
making a few closing remarks adjourned
the meeting.

And thus you do; you know it’s true,
Yet labor’d be in vain

Now syth that ye have showed to me

I think not nayc, but as ye saye

A New Danger.
A most painful incident has happened
in St. Joseph, Mo. A young lady moving
in the first circles of society playfully bit
a young gentleman in the arm. There
had been a mock quarrel lietwee'n the two
as to the possession of a piece of jewelry,
and the young gentleman . went to his
room charmed with the young lady’s re.
partee, and more than ever convinced that
for true refinement, aswell as for brilliant
wit. the young ladies of Missouri are un-
rivaled. To his great surprise and horror
the bite proved to be poisonous, and the
young man narrowly escaped losing his
life. This incident naturally reminds the
local Missouri press of another young man
who was playfully bitten a year ago in the
thumb by another fair Missourian, and
who thereupon died in great agony. The
inference that the bite of a Missouri glrl
is poisonous and may be fatal. is irresisti-
ble, and when we consider the manners
and customs of Missouri girls as revealed
by the two stories just quoted, it is really
a wonder that any male Missourian who
has mingled much in society still survives.
About a year ago M. Pasteur, the emi-
nent French physician, discovered by ex-
periment that small animals inoculated
with the saliva of a human being die al
most as quickly as those bitten by cobra.
Comparing the retults of these cxperi.
meals with the tragedies which have been
caused by the careless use of the teeth on
the part of Missouri girls, it becomes only
too probable that all girls are poisonous.
That this has been only recently discover-
cd is doubtless due to the fact that outside
of the first circles of Missouri society girls
rarely, if ever, bite. In circumstances
where a Missouri girl would gracefully
bite a companion of the other sex the av-
erage girl would content herself with
playfully tapping him with a fan. Any
prudent person will shudder with horror
when he thinks how near he must have
been at some time in his life to the deadly
teeth of a girl, and realizes that hc owes
his life to the fact that the girl abstained
from biting him.
If girls become generally aware that
they can inflict death with their upper in-
cisors as surely as the rattlesnake can slay
its victim with its-fangs, what safety will
there be for any human being Who does
completely isolate himself from girls?
The rattlesnake gives fair warning when
he intends to strike by springing .his'rat-
tle, but the girl is not provided by nature
with any automatic danger signal, and she
can strike her victim at a moment when
he has not the slightest thought of danger.
When girls know their power, no man
will venture to enter a street car or the
crowded aisle of a church or theatre lest
he may accidentally tread upon a girl’s
dress and thus provoke her to sudden bit-
ting. Girls will be able to go where they
please and to act as they please, for the
policeman who lays his hand upon a wo-
man to induce her to move on will incur
a risk second only to that which the man
would incur who should venture to push
a rattlesnake out of the way.
It is evident that the Missouri State au-
thorities should at once take measures to
protect the public against the deadly girls
of that State. The most obvious measure
of protection would be a law forbidding
girls to appear in public unmuzzled. Of
course it would be impossible to compel
girls to wear muzzles in their own homes,
and the young Missourian who trusts him-
self alone iu the back parlor with the girl
of his choice must rely for his safety upon
heavy leather gauntlets reaching to the
shoulder and upon his ability to protect
his face by agility and muscular strength.-
. After all, may not the knowledge that
every time a lover kisses the object of his
affection he takes his life in his hands—or
arms, as the case may be—add to the zest
of courtship ? Is it not possible that the
deadly power lurking in the bc .utiful
mouth of woman may make the gentler
sex more irresistibly attractive than ever?
There is a facination in danger, and the
more dangerous'girls prove to be the more
fascinating adventurous may find them.

H. M. PROWITT.
[Continued from last week.]
N0. IX.
It will be remembered that ill the last
number the reader was left to admire some
llills, whose gentle slopes were gaily
adorned with variegated shrubs and flow
crs. As the train rapidly pursues its way
this panoramic display of nature’s beauti-
ful scenery still continues; and on one
long though not very high hill, SCVll‘ill
large slabs of white sand-stone are noticed
above the line of foliage, giving the ap-
pearance of tablets set in the side of the
hill. .
At a station called Divide is a beautiful
sheet of water, smooth as a Inirrbr and
clear as crystal. This is called Palmer
Lake. It is but a momentary stop that is
made and again the cars are in motion.
Rock's assume- fantastic shapes. Pike’s
Peak has been kept ill plain sight during
the greater part of the time, but is occa-
sionally hidden by intervening hills which
are sufficiently near to obstruct the line of
vision. At some distance to the right
there appears to be a cemetery, with its
numerous monuments, but how singular;
each cream colored shaft is surmounted
with a large projecting cap of a tuna col-
ta color. _ As we were bound for Colorado
Springs and Manitou, no opportunity was
afforded for personal inspection, except
the casual glance from the cars as they
stop at this station, very appropriately
called Monument. The published opinion
of others may not be out of place here.
“One day can be spent very profitably
in Monument Park, and at least six or sev-
cn hours will pass away without wearincss
so continued will be the excitement aris-
ing from viewing the different wonders
encircled in this place. The Park is noted
for its shaft-like monuments. .They as-
sume fantastic shapes, by the action of
wind, water, cold and htat. The shafts
are cream colored sandstone, standing
singly, and in groups. They are scattered
over plain and ridge. There are three
ridges running cast and west across the
Park. On one of ridges, near the south-
sidc, and some little distance from Edger-
ton is a group of called the Dutch Wed-
ding. Some of the members of this bri
dal party are standing with their hats on
and the ladies with their hoods on. The
shaft representing the bride is rather tall,
40 feet; the groom short and thick, about
30 feet. It is the Dutch meeting with the
Yankee. There is one thing true of this
wedding, the couple will forever remain
married. No divorce bill except by the
eraslou of time. There will not be a law-
yer at the dissolution. - There was noticed
in one place, a shaft about 50 feet high,
with, his hat on, near by a shorter one,
with hat in hand, apparently bowing, in-
dicating the politeness of nature’s noble-
man. The noteworthy and beautiful
places around Manitou will be neglected
,and missed it the visitor does notpscc
Monument Park."
At 11:30 we leave the train at Colorado
Springs. This isa very neat and pretty
— place. Its popularity is however, derived
from its being a celebrated resort for in-
valids, who come here from thousands of
miles. to regain their health. Taking a
carriage at this place so as to be able to
enjoy the scenery to better advantage than
by a train, whlch runs to Manitou, a dis-
tance of five miles, we pass through ' a
very neat and wide street, and soon are
riding directly across the prairies in the di-
rection of Pike’s Peak. While enjoying
this novel ride across a fenceless expanse
the carriage becomes disabled in conse.
quence of a loose tire and it is necessary
to alight and allow the driver to return
about a mile and procure another vehicle.
Although this seemed to be annoying on
account of limited time, yet it added to
the pleasure, for being provided with a
lunchbaskct, an opportunity was afforded
to sit doWn on the short. dry prairie grass
and in primitive style, enjoy a family pic--
nic. Half an hour’s time was lost, which
however gave smple|opportunity for walk-
ing on the prairie until the driver returned
with another carriage. Soon we were
traveling over the plain, or miza, as it is
called. Beyond stood two high columns
of red sandstone, and a long line of white
sandstone like a fence. This is the gate-
way of the Garden of the Gods. Five
minutes more will bring us there. But in
this altitude distance is deceptive and
twenty minutes must be added to the five
before reaching it.
Two large red rocks, about 300 feet high
and about 400 feet long. set up on edge,
form what is called the gateway. Be-
tween thesc two, which are separated about
convenient distance for two carriages to
pass each other, is the carriage drive.
These columns are perpendicular on the
edges between which vehicles pass, and
were it a work of design, would not _be
much more perfect. After stopping di-
rectly at the base, and looking up at the
top of these posts a fragment of the stone
was selected from some crumbled portions
which had fallen, and which served as a
rcmembrancer. Passing into this spot,
which has been designated as the garden
of the gods, the attention is taken up with
Balancing Rock—a large rock and high,
to enable it to retain its position. Then
another huge rock called the Tower of
Babel,somc 330 feet high,-and shooting
up into several sharp shafts and blades.
All these are of the reddish brown color,
while strange as it may seem, the long
line which, as has been stated, appeared
like a fence is of white sandstone and is
about 800 feet long and is quite high.
These rocks are set'np edgeways. As
the carriage drives on,'a moments stop
must be made to examine a ecuple of obe-
lisks, of suchstrange appearance that they
have been designated as The First Settlers.
They certainly belonged to the Giant
Race. The head and shoulders of one
are very perfect, and the huge cap which
aurmounts it causes the thought that it
must have been one of the Royal Family.
The other figure is represented as in a sit-
ting position and closely hooded, Passing
on still further the driver points out the
rbck called the Lion, and another as the
Bear, and there ccl'talnly is a close resem-
blcncc to both.
We are obliged to omit visits to Glen
Eyrie, the residence of General William
J. Palmer. This is said to be a beautiful
place, but it is enclosed and P,“ a few vis»
itors are allowed inside. Visitors are van-
dals at times, and mementoes and speci-.
mens are unmereifully taken to remind
the traveler in future years that this place
was visited. In this enclosure the rocks
assume more grotesque forms. Each rock
here, as well in the garden of the gods,
has its distinct name, and fancy is some-
times called upon to trace out the rcscm
blance to their names.
Descending a steep hill, we soon reach
the flourishing village of Manitou, wblch
Iis called the idol of the sick and enchant-
meat of the tourist. It is a glen, literally
surrounded with foot-bills, and is at the
very base of Pike’s Peak. Although this
place is a hollow yet it is 1,100 feet higher
than Denver. There are five mineral
springs of note in this place. Manitcu
is about 2 miles long and nearly a mile
wide, and has about 400 inhabitants and
is a place of popular resort for invalids
on account of the salubrity of climate,’
and its mineral springs. It is withal a
yet without sufficient base, it would seem, .
beautiful town. While the tourist views
it with pleasure, the invalid finds rest and
medicine, and standing up restored, he has
reason to speak well of Mauitou and Cel-
orado for their life saving qualities.
Within the last few years it is said to have
had more than 50,000 visitors.
We next take aflerc up the Ute Pass
which is close by, and then must haste
away so as to be in time for the return
train. Leaving the town. the road runs
for half a milcalong a stream called the
Fountain which runs in every direclon,
foaming and plunging through thickets of
willow and alder, and under trees, around
and under boulders, with cascades in abun-
dance. This pass was at first a mere mule
track used by the Ute tribe and ascending
by the side of a lofty rock, with the stream
dashing by. It is just wide enough for
one vehicle at a time‘, and is railed off
from the lower side by trees laid borizon- ,
tally and thus gfcring protection from the
precipitous side. Thls road is well worn by
immense travel and fj'cightagc. Supplies
go up and lumber comes down, and the
four to eight mules harnessed to large
wagons, threading their way through the
narrow tube-like gtrgcs, is a very intone;-
ing sight. .As there is room for only one
vehicle at a lime places are cut out of the
solid rock and thus an occasional turn out
is made, and in case of two teams meeting,
the one must do as trains do, switch off
into a siding till the other has passed.

Portfolio Sketches.
In tho Woods—4th Sketch.
BY JENNIE K. LUDLUM.
“ ‘Tllis is the forest primeval The murmur
ing pines and the llclnlocks, ‘
Beaded with moss, and in garments green,
, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like Druid’s of'eld, with voices and and
prophetic, -
Stand like harpel's boar, with boards that
rest on their bosoms.
Load from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced
neighboring ocean .
Speaks, and in accents disconsolato answers
the wail of the f'orcst.’ ”
Harrie pauses in her reading, letting the
book drop unbecdcd in her lap as she leans,
her bright head against the great mossy;
tree-trunk behind her.
There is a long pause.
The afternoon is such a beautiful one,
that we could not resist the temptation to
spend it in the cool, dark woods. So here
we are, my. friend and I, enjoying the
delicious coolness and quiet.
on a bank of moss beside a gay little
brook, her lap full of wild roses and
delicate honeysuckle, her merry face soft
and sweet in the shadows of the great
elms. I, personified laziness that I am,
lie in the hammock which we brought
with us,—my head on my arms, watching
in a sleepy fashion the far-off flash of the
river that gleams here and there through
the tangled lree-bougbs and trailing
vines. ,
The trees are so thick and close that it
is almost impossible to tell whether the
sky is blue or gray, excepting down on the
horizon where along strelch of the heavens
can be seen above the river, of that soft,
hazy tint that belongs to a clear midsum-
mer sky.
The birds fill the air with wonderful
melody ; the brilliant butterflies float above
the flowers or sway on a delicate fern leaf;
the dragon flies dart and flash along with
the tiny brook that dashes along with
about and laughter at Harrie’s feet.
We can hear faint and far the voices of
men calling to their oxen, or shouling at
one another, in the fields a long way off.
A perfect mid-summer dayl
Presently Hérrie looks up at Inc, her
brown eyes not quite free from the far-off
look they have caught from the distant
‘ river and soft sky;
“Kate, how perfect life must have been
then l” '
“Then! when, pray? Oh, in Evange-
linc’s day, you mean? Yes, it seems so
to us, looking back, but there was trouble
enough, Harrie! Think of the horrors of
having one’s house burncd,—partcd from
all one . loves,—-sent on a voyage to a
strange country! No, Harrie, it wasn’t
perfect l”
“I don’t mean at that time, Kate,” she
answers, brushing a great hideous spider
from one of the roses in her lap. “Not
when they were being persecuted, but long
before that, when they
“Dwelt in the love of God and of man. Alike
were they free from
Fear, that reigns with the tyrant, and envy,
the vice of republics.
Neither locks had they , to their doors, nor
bars to their windows ;
But their dwellings were open as day and the
hearts of the owners ;
There the richest were poor, and the poorest
lived in abundance.”
”Don’t you call that a perfect life?
Look at us to-day. Very little 'love of
God and of man’ have we! While fear
of what Mrs. Grundy will say rules the
world at large. Then they went bare-
hcaded and barefooted if they liked; now
one must dress in the height of fashion to
be considered any body !”
“But we are not in the fashbnable
world now, my dear, and Mrs. Grundy
has gone to a ball; so if you like you can
go barefooted—though I warn you spid-
ers and worms and snakes are not
particularly comfortable footstools. As
to going barehcaded you are that now,
and a large June bug is investigating your
head to see if it contains any brains. Our
life of to-day is far better in every way,
than that of Arcadia. Don't be unreason.
sonable, Harr‘ie l” .
“I’m not unreasonable, Kate ; but some-
times I do gct so tired watching the
tumult and strife, we, of to-day, make of
our lives that ought to be full of Grid's

It must have been, Kate, to think that

“There were no banks, then,” I remark
in a thoughtful lone. But with a glance
of utter disgust Harrie goes on“.
“—but just for whatonc’s life was. Oh,
that was the time to live I”
“But how quiet and uneventful life must
have been, dear! Just think, Harrie, of
living without a book to read—wtihout
knowing ‘a’ from ‘b’, and the grand
thoughts of wise, great men utterly un-
known to one! Can you mean that you
would be willing to live so just to be free
from the responsibility 0f to day?"
“Yes, I would 1" she answers, taking
up the book and turning over the leaves.
“Oh, the horrors that have come with our
knowledge! One cannot take up a news-
paper without shuddering over some ter-
rible crime! There were no such things

llow delightfully calm they were.
Then came the laborers home from the field,
and serenely the sun sunk
Down to his rest, and twilight prevailed,
Anon from the belfry
Softly the :Angelus sounded. and over tllo
roofs of the village
Columns ofpalo bluo smoke, like clouds of
incense ascending,
Rose frbm a. hundred llcartlls, the homes of
peace and contentment.”
Harrie sits '
Again there is ll pause full of summer
sounds. The brook has-caught the forest
perfume and music, and is dancing gully
over the gleaming pebbles, to bear them
away to the town whose droning comes
to us dreamily. A brilliant, broad winged
butterfly alights on the hammock, at my
feet, opening and shutting its remand-gold
wings lazily. A woodpecker hammers
away on the gray balk, above Harrie‘s
head.
“Isn’t this Arcadia enough for you,
dear ?” I ask, smiling wickedly to myself
as I watch the spiders and horrid little
worms drop from Ihe tree where the bird
is hammering,—down onto Harrie’s bead.
“Right here—yes,” she answers; “but
over there beyond the liver, just cllt of
sight, is the busy, bustling, noisy world,
full 'of wickedness.” ’
“And in Evangelinc’s Arcadia may have
been peace, but just beyond it there was
tumult also. As to crime, my dear,” I
go on, watching the butterfly hover about ‘
my head; “during the reign of some cf
the old-time kings there were more hor-
rible crimes than we of to day can dream,
of. No, you cannot convince me that thcf
life of a century or so ago can -c-qual in.
any way, this of the nineteenth.” . ’
The beautiful birds—God's notes 0
praise in the sympathy of nature—carolq
awayin the dark, solemn arches of lhtt
wood. The health brook dashes down
the mossy banksfon its errand of mercy :_
the delicate fern plumes wave above the,
clear water. At Harric's feet a slender'
spray of Iforget-mc-nots P‘C mirrored ilt ‘
the brook. . .
My gentle friend has been watching the
blue-eyed flowors, and at last she looks up
saying with a smile, .
“Perhaps, after all, you are right, Kate
dear. Only God’s world is so beautiful
and full of tokens of His love, that it
recms dreadful to think of it all being mar:
red by the weak hand offiman.” ~,
A clear, golden sunbeam has stolen Ill:
between the leaves overhead, and rests on
Ha..-ie'a hair seeming to flood her face
with a Wonderful, sweet radiance.
For a moment my eyes fill with tears;
and then I say, as-I lean over to dmp a
handful of roscbuds on her head, ,'
“Blessed are the peace-makers, for they
shall be called the children of God;
Harrie, your name should have ‘been
Peace.” '
And the sunbeams grow thicker, more
plentiful as the great sun sinks toward the
west, .
“So we’ll not sigh nor look back, dear,
But press right on, content and bold,
. To where our life sets, heavenly clear
Westward, beneath the hills of gold,’ ’
I repeat, as we go out of the beautiful
woods.
EXCITEMENT IN CONNECTICUT
—’.I‘ESTIMONI 0F WELL-.
KNOWN WITNESSES.
[From the New Haven Palladium]
An alarming state of affairs has been
discovered in our midst. Hundreds of our
citizens have been seized with mysterious
symptoms of illness, which have puzzled
learned physicians and scientists alike.
Somehavc rapidly succumbed and fallen by
the wayside, like parched and thirsting
plants under the scorching and withering
rays of a midsummer sun. Others have
suffered all the pangs and torments of the
horrible inquisition. , The limbs have been
racked with excruciating pains, while.
their bodies have burned/with an inwar ,
and consuming fire, unquenchable, uncons.
qucrable, until, when mind has been de~
strayed and the soul tortured beyond hu-
man endurance, they have died a death of
misery and anguish. Some of their
friends have suggested poison, basing
their opinion, perhaps, on certain astound-
ing rcvehitions made by chemical analyses
conducted in this city, still no traces could
be found of mineral poisoning, and the
only questions remaining to be answered
were: “Are these cases of blood poison-
ing, and if so, in what manner or form
was the} contamination brought about ?
Have our friends, who have been so ruth-
lessly taken away from us, been made the
unwilling victims of treacherous men,who
under the garb of friendship, have sought
their acquaintance, and in secrecy prickcd
them with the poisoned poignard ?" A
reporter was put on the track, given plen-
ty of time to investigate the affair, and
commanded to probe the mystery to its
very bottom, sparing nobody in prosecut-
ing the inquiry. It was necessary first to
interview some of those who had passed
through the frying ordeal in safety, and
obtain from them an‘accouut of their sev-
eral experiences. The reporter first called
upon Henry 0. Ingram, Esq, the general
superintendent of the District Messenger
Company of New Haven, 33 Center street,
and his remarkable . burs was related as
follows: Mr. Ingram said: “For many
months I had been sorely troubled with a
weak and tired feeling across my loins,
almost invariably accompanied with a
headache. I had noticed also‘ that at
stated periods following othcse pains my
urine would be highly colored, and leave
a heavy brick colored- sediment when al—
lowed to stand in the vessel. I could not
work, and I was discouraged to an alarm-
ing degree. Nothing helped me, 1 was
prescribed for by some of the best physi-
cians in New York City, where I was lo-
cated at that time, but derived no benefit
or relief. When almost ready to give up
indespair an acquaintance said to me, ‘I
want you to try Hunt’s Remedy.’ I did
so, and hardly twenty four hours had
elapsed before I obtained rellér, and in
- three weeks' time all the aforesaid ail-
ments had disappeared, and I improved
steadily, and was infused with new life,
so that I could resume my business again,
which is one that subjects me to strains of
all kinds, which are likely to affect the
kidneys, namely: Erecting telegraph and
telephone lines. Hunt’e'Re’mcdy now oc-
cupies the most honored place in my cab-
inet of medicines. I would not be with-
out it, and I cheerfully recommend it to
all who are troubled with diseases of the
liver, kidney, or urinary organs. It never
fails to cure." _ ‘
Mr. Henry Barnes, the tea and coffee
merchant, 50 Houston street, New Haven,
Conn, was next called upon, and said:
“It is with feeling of gratitudcaud a dc-
sirc to benefit my fellow—man that I write
you these few lines as testimony to the
value of the greastcst of all medicines.
Eight years have I been a'sulferer from
kidney disorder and infiamation of {the
bladder. Sometimes when passing water,
the pains wele something terrible. a scald-
ing, burning sensation, with retention of
urine, with sharp pains in my side, loins
and back, extending to the back of my
head, tended to make life miserable. I
have been treated by a number of our best
physicians, and have used any number of
proprietary medicines, all to no avail, ob-
taining no relief. How long I would have
continued in this way I do not know; in
fact I despaired of getting relief, until a
n'eighbor, who had been very much bene-
fited by the use of Hunt's Remedy, advis-
ed Inc to try it; and, although I had no
faith that it‘would reach my case, yet. as'
he spoke so highly of its great merits, I
decided to give it a trial, and its use has
been attended with the very best possible
results. Twelve, hours after taking the
first dose Inexperienccd relief. I contin-
ued on in its use until I had usedfivc bot-
tles, when all the pains had'vanished. my
otherwise good health returned, and I am
free from all pains, and am a well man. I
am confident my cure has resulted from
the use of Hunt's Remedy, and that alone.
“What it has done for me I am positive
it will do for others. You are at liberty
to use my name in any manner you see fit.’

HOW ‘NATCI-IES ARE MADE.
In a SOLID GOLD. WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
.needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James 3038’ Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and SOLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
stecl'rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, beiels, etc., are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
the only case made under this process. Each
case is accompanied with a, wall'd'guarantec
signed by the maanacturcrs warranting it (a
wear 20 years. 150,000 of these. Cases

Fourth of July.
BY JENNIE K. LUDLUM.
Fourth of July! and the glorious morning
Rises at sound of cannon and gun;
Golden and bright is the sun at the dawning
Telling th nation’s bright day has begun;
While the stars hide down in the lobe of
night, _
Letting the Fourth of July come to light.
The great flag waves like a billowy ocean,
Over the heads of the people who pass;
Showing the stars and stripes at each motion ;
Then sinking silently into a mass -"
0f streaks of crimson, and gloams of blue,
Bringing the bars of whitp to view.
The morning and noon‘ have pass’d,‘ and
even ~
Come with its glorious sunset, the sky
Showing the national flag against heaven;
The stars and stripes gleaming grandly on
high l
on, glorious Fourth, coming in with the day
With banner and cannon and musical play l
The bilautiful fireworks rising and glowing
Up to the deeply-blue heavens at night;
The grand flag is shaken by the winds that
are blowing
Tho folds into shimmering rivers of light.
Thus the Four’rh goes out with carnon and
. 310W.
While the flag wavors drearr‘ly l"thcr and

Secretary Chandler’s list of old war
ships and steamers which he has for sale
include eighteen which have cost over
$20,000,000. The Florida cest $1,914,-
000anll the Dictator $1,644,000. This
statement is rather impressive, but ought
to be accompanied by an account of the
value III the service they have done. We
fear it would be slight. When an cld
house is ready to be sold for kindling
wood and torn away, its value is small
compared with the amount which has
been spent for it in its original construc-
tion and in repairs. Naval vessels are not,
however, so useful as houses, while their
cost, botll' originally and for repairs, is
vastly out of proportion. Of these vessels
fifteen were built since 1860; the Con-
gress, for instance, built of white oak in
1867, is rotten; the Niagara, a big frigate,
built at the Brooklyn navy yard in 1855,
is also rotten ; most of the wooden vessels
are rotten. The iron-clad Dictator, 4,000
tons, built by cont'lacl, “has a serious
defect of balance, lrlmlll‘lng greatly by the
stern.” It does not appear that one of the
thirty was ever in battle and several of
them were never in the water. The best
thing which could be done with this
strange collection would be to anchor those
which will float at a convenient place in
New York harbor and convert them into
low-priced tenements, with a tug to com-
municate with the Battery or some other
center of the working penplv.
Mr. George Bancroft has arrived, writes
aNewport gossiper to the Sun. lie is
daily holding miniature levees in the
midst of his gorgeous display of mass. In
1875 public attention was first called to
Mr. Bancrofl’s love of roses, and the in-
numerable varieties he cullivatcd, and
from that time to the present he has had
a constant stream of visitors cach sum-
mer, it matters not how many people visit
him, he never sends them away empty
handed. He has a special gift like Queen
Victoria with her India shawls. When
President Grant visited him the bouquet
was presented by Mrs. Bancroft. Mr.
Rutherford B. Hayes called ill 1877, and
received a bouquet, and last year President
Arthur had several supplies from the bean-
tiful grounds of the great historian. In a
few days Mr. Bancroft will take his daily
horseback'exercise. He rarely rides in a
vehicle.

About twelve years ago a Mr. Royal of
Ellsworth, Me., while fishingoff the coast
of the town of Gouldsboro’, near Prospect
Harbor, lost overboard in from six to ten
fathom! of water a silver watch and silver
chain. A day or two ago the watch was
returned to its former owner. The finder
says he found it in his potato patch
where he supposes it became deposited by
being attached to the seaweed which he
used for a fertilizer.and which he procured
upon the shore where the watch was orig-
inally lost. The works are somewhat
rusty, but retain their original shape very
nearly. The cases and chain are blackened
and, the jeweler says, have every appear-
ance of having been in the salt water for
along time. '
