Mrs. Wood has quite an eventful history, and her memory of the rcmarka- incidents of her early life is excellent. She has a vivid recollection ci the war of 1812, during- which her husband was a teamster for the American Her-maiden name was -Lucy "Whitney and she met her husband, John Wood, at a music class at Milford, to which her parents had moved.

They started out foi Barre, Vt, which was then a immediately after their wedding', and their first hpme was a log cabin. A blanket served for a door and skins cov- ered the window spaces, while another 'blanket served as a partition to divide the cabin into two rooms. While her husband was away she used to sit up ali night spinning, with a great fire burning to frighten away the bears and which sometimes grinned athei with their heads thrust through the blanket at the door. She was burned out twice, and on one of these occasions, her husband being away, she pushed through the flames and saved her Httle daughter.

Mrs. Wood has worked hard all her life and has had ten children, four of are now living. One of them, an unmarried daughter, lives with her Another. Her husband died in 1S77. In early life Sirs.

Wood was a Congrega- -tionalist, but for many years she has been a member of the Methodist church. JAMES H. GALLINGER A Few Facts About tlie Xew Senator from NCTV Hampshire. Dr. James H.

Gallinger was born at Cornwall, Ontario, in 1837, of German parents, and the best years of his boyhood were spent on a farm. Then'he learned the trade of a printer and, drifting across the bor der, worked' a while at Og- dcnsburg-, N. Y. He went back to BEXATOR GALLINGEK. Cornwall and edited a local paper tbere, but soon returned' to the United States.

While working at the case in the office of the Cincinnati Gazette he commenced the study, of medicine and received bis diploma in 1853. After practicing-medicine in Cincinnati for a year he devoted another year to study and travel and then settled down in New Hampshire. He lived first in Keene and then moved to Concord, where he has since remained, and built up a good He has much for the medrSal journals and was Surgeon General of the State from 1879 to 1880. But Galling-er is better known as g- than as a physician. He 1 was the Legislature in 1873-7S.

He cut a prominent figwe in the constitutional convention of 1S7C and was elected to the State Senate in 1S7S. The J- following year he was re-elected and j- chosen President of the Senate. He.be- came chairman of the Republican State Central Committee in, 1882 after a hard fight and displayed considerable ability in his management of the party. He entered in 1884, was re-elected at the end of his first term and dined a third nomination. He was at a higher mark.

There are many curious copies of the Bible in the various collections of Europe 'and America, but it is doubtful if there a duplicate for the one belonging to R. Williams, of London. This j'odd copy of the Holy Writ is in short- and characters and is complete In the Zoological of JLondon. The frontispiece to the Vear- Book of Photography represents the last qiuigfja which was to be seen in the Zoological Gardens of London, and which was photographed in 1S73 by Mr. Frederick York, who now possesses five negatives of the animal.

Qnajj-gsis were more readily tamed than the truu zebra: in fact, in the early, part of the present century, two of them were driven in 1 l.ydo Park by Sheriff llarkins.

In length of ears and character of tail it more resembled the horse than the ass; still, to the popular eye the hinder half of the animal ranch resembled the ass, and the front "half the zebra.

Supposing that any quaggas arc still left, some "rich American" might do worse than to offer a reward for'thcir capture, and to start a quagga park. Mr, A. D.

liartlett, who has been superintendent of the Zoological Gardens for thirty-one years, and connected with the gardens for forty-five years, says that in its habits the quagga more resembles the ass than the horse, and the one represented "in our collotype print was donkey-colored from the neck. He has never seen a very young one, but supposes that at birth- it may have been striped all over. The dun-colored pony of Norway, whfin young, has striped legs, and he suspects that the original was a striped animal.

The Biircriell zebra? is now by mistake commonly called the quagga in South Africa. Supposing that photography had been known in time for one man to have photographed the last dodo, his name would have been haiiled down to posterity in connection therewith for all time. Mr.

York may be in that happy position in relation to the last of the quaggas, and can say with all tho possession privilege of riding to immortal fame on the back of a striped jackass.

The following attracting wide attention from the press so remarkable that we cannot excuse ourselves if we do lay it before our readers, entire. To the Editor Rochester (N. Democrat: SIK. On the first clay of June.

1881, I lay at my residence in this city surrounded by mj friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can neve" describe it. And yet, if a few years previous any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I bhould have the'idea. I had always been uncommonly strong- and healthy, and weig-hed over 200 pounds and hardly knew in my own experienco, what pain ov sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for it.

They feel dull pains in various parts of the body and do not understand why. OV they are exceeding hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. just the way I felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me first began. Still 1 thought nothing of it: that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this I noticed a heavy, and at times neuralgic, pain in one side of my head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paicj little attention lo.

it. Then my stomach whould get out of order and my food often, failed to digest, causing at times Yet, even as a physician, I did not think that these things meant anything serious. I fancied 1 was suffering from malaria and doctored, myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor'about the fluids which I was passing also that there were large quantities one day and very little next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared on the surface, and a sediment settled.

And yet I did not realize my danger, for indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was wholly disarmed by the. fact that I had no pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so. blind I cannot understand. I consulted the best medical skill in the land.

I visited all the famed mineral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with, spinal irritation: another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility; another, congestion, of the base of the braid; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms of many of really had. In this way several years passed, during- which time I.

was steadily g-rowicg worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms I had at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders. My weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a burden to myself and Mends.

I could retain no food on my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently fell to the floor, and clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had'little or no' effect in deadening the pain.

For six days and nights I liad the death premonitory hiccoughs, constaatly, My water was filled with tube-casts and albumen. I was stnjggiiBjr'with of the kidneys in its last stages! While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Kev. Dr. Foote, at that time rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, of this city.

I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation, Dr. Foote detailed to me the many rem'arkable cures of cases like my own which had come under his 'observation. As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, I derided the of any medicine outside the regular channels being in the least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I would waive my prejudice.

I began its use On the first day of June, 1881,, and took it according to At first it sickened me; but this I thought was a good -sign for one in my debilitated condition, I continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed and I finally able to retain food upon my few days I noticed a decided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experienced less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced'at this improved condition, that, upon what I had believed but a few days.before was my dying bed, I vowed in the presence of my family, and, friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known tlr's remedy for' the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter-is in fulfillment of that. vow. 'My improvement was constant from, that time, and in, less than three months I had gained 26 pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain and I believe I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy which I used.

Since my recovery I have thoroughly re-investigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright's disease, and the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state deliberately, and as a physician, that I believe more than one-half the which in America are caused by of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it, Bright's disease has no distinctive features of its own, (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or-their vicinity) but has the symptoms of nearly every other common complaint. Hundreds of people die daily; whose burials are authorized by a physician's certificate as occurring from "Heart Disease," "Apoplexy," Paralysis," "Spinal Complaint," "Rheumatism," "Pneumonia" and other common complaints, when in reality it is from Bright's disease of the kidneys. Few physicians and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature.

It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence if at all by the commonest symptoms aad fastens itself in the constitution before the-victim is aware of it. It Is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common and as fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet n'one of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing theta. Instead of common symptoms it oftQn shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly, from or heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I imp-lore everyone who reads these words -not to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty.

No one can afford to hazard such chances. I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I can substantiate to the letter. welfare-of those who may possibly be sufferers such as I was, is an ample inducement for me to lake the step I have, and if I can successfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to tndure all. professional and personal consequences.
