IIST Off DISEASES ALWAYS CUBABL1 BY UHDJ6I Until one evening when tht Bishop went out to dine with a friend, tad after dinner told a little humorous stoiy in his own humorous way. Two days later there were upwards of ninety distinct reports of this story, the least wild of which was that the Bisuop had tried to persuade Miss Jollibert to imprison herself in a convent, but that she had replied: "No, she would sooner marry him than that;" and so, from one thing to another, they were to be married. As to the hitch in this version namely, why in the name of wonder the Bishop could want Miss Joliihcrt to imprison herself in a convent; a lady of the Baptist persuasion seou filled that up. She discovered that the Bishop and Miss Jollibert were in the habit of playing cards together of an evening plivint enrds Beziipie, or some such game; that was to say, of course, equivalent to fftimhtiiir. So by the end of the week it was widely current throughout Malchester that the Bishop was encumbered with heavy gambling debts, which were about to be liquidated by Miss Jollibert.

At the very height of all this, the Bishop's fair head, and shiny black coat, appeared for the first time in the blue barouche, visa-vis to Miss Jollibert It was a sunshiny day, and the Bishop was noticed to be laughing. It very often requires only a straw, or a pin-point, to change insanity to sanity, unpopularity to popularity, ferocity to mildness. In this case the Bishop's laugh was the symbolical pin-point. Next morning the heavy clouds of suspicion had rolled away, and the blue sky shone again. Next morning all Malchester was laughing and smiling with the Bishop.

There was one great mercy, and Miss Jollibert remarked it herself. 'Putting the fiction of gambling, and other ridiculous debts aside, no one could say she was being married for her money. The Bishop's purple brougham was fully a match tor Miss Jollibert's barouche; and his high-stepping bays would have kept pace any day with the blue-gray horses.

You seem to have been an old friend all mv life. I can not remember the time when I did not know you. I know that other people call me foolish and vain behind my back, and somehow or other 1 know that you never do. Would you rather that I told you now what is upon mv mind or would vou rather wait a Stretching up, he settled the little tea-cup carefully amongst the Sevres china on the mantel-piece, and crossing his legs, folded his white hands composedly on his apron. "I should wish you to tell me all about it at once, Marion.

The long and short of the thing is this," she said "or rather this is what might be called the short of it and the longwill come after. I have made up my mind to go over to Home. The liishop uncrossed his legs with a sudden movement and stared nt Miss Jollibert.

The Ah was more in the wav of a sigh than an interjection and with it he half closed one eye, and minutely inspected with the other the morsel of currant bun he was engaged in eating. There was some thing the action which appeared to irritate Miss Jollibert slightly, for she pushed her chair back from the" fire, and asked him very quickly "Did your Lordship not hear me?" lie finished the currant bun, aud folded his hands composedly again. "So." repeated he.

"you have quite made up your muni to so over to Koine "Quite." said Miss Jollibert: and after an instant's pause, unbroken except for the crackling of the flames, she added "Quite," again. "Why asked the Bishop, quickly. "On account of my convictions," replied Miss Jollibert. still more quickly. "Ah sighed the Bishop once more.

His Lordship passed his hand slowly all over his heavy masses of flaxen "hair. Miss Jollibert fastened her large brown eyes upon him rather mournfully, and after a minute, began to talk. "Of course it has taken me a long time to make up my mind; and, of course. I am very sorry. I have studied Butler, and Jeremy Taylor, and Luther's treatises, and Manning and Newman.

I have fought against my convictions as I never fought against any thing before; and yet, in spite oi myseit as it were, have been converted. Of course I am very sorry that it should be so. In a case like this, however, I think that oneisnot, perhaps, entirely responsible fur one's own conversion." The Bishop inspected the side of his handsome font, and settling himself yet a little more comfortably, nodded with much benevolence. "Quite so, quite so; very possibly not. my dear." Miss jolliberfdushed slightly.

"No." she resumed, with some warmth. "Why of course you must know yourself. Bishop, that most ancient theologians, and nil prophets, foretold the foundation of one permanent and Apostolic Church. I don't suppose that even the Bishop of Malchester would care to assert that Church to be the Church of England." Henry Hammersley, Bishop of Malchester, took a long sip of his tea, and turning his limpid blue eyes round upon Miss Jollibert, smilod. "My dear," said he, gently, "I always feel very diflident about making any assertions." "Well but I don't," pursued she, with a slight tremor in her voice.

"Just think what it is for me to be convincd. firmly convinced, in my mind, of there being no English Church, no English Rites, no English Orders to be relied upon." said he, wheeling sharp round, and snatching another little bit of currant bun from the plate. So I'm not a Bishop?" "No." cried Miss Jollibert, half angrily and half in laughter: "at least, I don't think so. I am very sorry, but I can't make up my mind that you are. I am very sorrv to say such things.

Don't be angry with me. Bishop." He stretched his hand out for the little poker, and gave a sharp tap to a bit of coal winch sent it ratt ling noisily down upon the painted tiles. "I beg your pardon, my dear," said he. ruefully. "I ought never to have meddled with the fire, you see just as you ought never to have meddled with the theologians.

Hand me the tongs. Marion." She did as he asked her, a rush of tears coming into her dark eyes. "It is of no use to talk to me in that way; no use saying anything, since I have quite made up my mind. And besides that," she added, after a slight pause, with hereves fixed anxiouslv upon the back of the Bishop's fair head, just then within dangerous proximity of the grate: "I have quite made up my mum inai i in going to dispose ot my house, and my horses, and my furniture, and every thing; and immediately after I have collected the monev. I shall go into a convent and take the veil." He put the tongs carefully down on the fender; and sticking two of his long white fingers into Miss Jollibert's sugar basin, brought out a little pointed lump, ami oaiancea it dreamily in the air.

1 he Bishop rose. He drew one of her unnus gently trom her face, and closed his own over it. "I understand," he said nnsuiiy, and looked straight into the fire. Ihe snow rattled airainst the window and the wind howled around the corner of tue square. Me leaned one elbow on the gold-colored plush, and rested his fair head on it.

He was a very young man, tnis, to be a Bishop. There was scarcely a silver rureaa mingled with the glistening masses. JVliss Jollibert, too, as she stood in the ure light, looked the perfection of bii-ouiii, uannsome-ieatured woman. it would have seemed as if the weight oi ner hand oppressed the Bishop, for he breathed very hard as he stood there Doming it, Miss Jollibert's moist eves star ing pensively the while into the distant nan gloom of the ante-chamber.

She answered nothing fnr a then, moving slowiv beside him. bpo-an tn converse auont tne pictures and their various merits and demerits, in an easy, conversational manner which was surprising' in itsen, considering the suppressed emotion of her voice hardly a minute ago. Tho Bishop turned quickly round, and, closing his eye-glass witli a slmro click si.wl ingather. Just as she was ho-i; enlarge upon the beauties of a certain Holy tamily she had seen at St. Peters-burgh, he walked straight back to the mantel-piece, and leaning his face on his hand again, interrupted her without ceremony.

"Marion," he said, gravely, "I thought jwu MtuiLeu me to neip you." Her eyes lit up. and she answered quickly with all the emotion in her voice again "Yes, and when I ask vou to do so, when I tell you seriously that have made up mv mind to go into a convent and take the veil, you reply by treating the whole thing as a joke, and advising me to marry! This is not. what I expected from you." He stood beside her in a moment, his whole manner changing. "I never supposed that it was," he said. "I never supposed that it was what 3'ou expected.

Nevertheless, Marion, it is my advice and I repeat it to you. I think you ought to marry." She looked at him for a minute longer, her expression varying betwixt surprise and impatience. "What do you mean?" she asked. repeat that you are treating the wnole thing as a joke and that I think that it is very unkind of you to do so.

A HANDSOME WOMAN. Her Quaint Courtship by the Lord Bishop of Malchester. Miss Jollibert was a handsome woman. There were people who said she was eolil-lookinff, and people who said she was passee, and people who said she had a decided will of her own; but no one who denied that she was handsome. And they generally added, with a nod and a lowering of the voice "And rich in a way which seemed to say that, if Miss Jollibei looks were undeniable, yet still more undeniable were her riches.

People were quite right Miss Jollibert was cold-looking. She was a woman with ian athletic upright figure, a haughtily-cut brunette fnce, a rather high Roman nose, a rather high color. And Miss Jollibert 'bad a decided will of her own; her eyes jwere of the dark, lazy, mysterious type, which are as good as a sign-post pointing to i H. As for being passee of course, strictly miu "as passee; miss jollibert was thirty-three: and most women are at twenty-seven, let alone thirty-three. Mince matters as one likes, that is the long and the short of it.

On the other hand, many women of Miss Jollibert's type are positively handsomer at sixty than at thirty -three. People say of them then What a grand old woman From theextremedienitvof Miss mien, it seemed as if she bad always in her iiiinn, as siie sailed, with her head high, past i-impiMiHg M-iiooi-gins or Jiaicliester: "Poor, poor things! at thirtv-tliree, people pay of me Hmt 1 am handsome: and atsixry inev will call nieagnnidoldwoman. What tw in iney say oi you:" i mere is no doubt whntpvnv that Alios Jollibert was simply admiring the distant Dili it seemed to the schoolgirls that she was repeating this, and they resented it by saying she was cold-looking and passee. Even thev. howemr fniled to add that Miss Jollibert was a luaniisoiue woman.

Malchester was a busy, populous mann ifactunng town, and Miss Jollibert's father an extremely wealthv paint mnnufactur-er bad died Mayor of it. So that it was of course incumbent on Miss Jollibert to inhabit a house in one of the most fashion- unie sudui-ds; and that the house, like herself, should be handsome and dienified. Mie kept a great many women-servants luu iwo innoor men-servants, and a large carriage with a large and verv vivid crest-iaswns only befitting the daughter of so large a namt manufacturer. I It was really quite a pretty sight to see iiinmisuiiieiuissjoiiiuei't, in her handsome blue silk dress, and seated in her jhandsome blue barouche, ami with hor handsome blue-livered servants and jhandsome blue-gray horses, drive forth Hinder the shadow of her azure parasol upon smiling summer's day. She generally looked straight before her, between the inorse heads she didn't turn aside to recognise everybody.

She had a little way of drawing herself up and sighing "Hum," like a genuine bee, which was enough to make the most impertinent heart quail Nevertheless when Miss Jollibert liked, she could sinilo out of her deep brown eyes to this side and to that, too, not a little sweetly. It was a marvel to all the world why she persisted in remaining Miss Jollibert. When the weather was rainy, the open barouche was substituted bv a dark red carnage, with scarlet wheels. "When it isnowed again, she spun away over the sparkling surface, her sleigh, a heterogen-lous but artistic confusion of sealskin, sable 'blue el'mul8 herself a study in peacock- When it snowed. It was snowing very foard one winter's night that Miss Jollibert sat alone before her drawing-room fire It was a magnificent fire, and the drawing-room was simply a blaze of magnificence, and Miss Jollibert was indeed magnificent jn diamonds and a rose-colored velvet dress so bright that it made her perhaps too fen Mian complexion look quite pale in -ompansou; as probably sheknew.

Everything, from the superb Eastern kuick-kniicks m'the brackets, to the hot house flowers on the tables, snoke of wealth. You looked at all parts of the room and you said; What expenditure! Then vou looked at Miss Jollibert herself, and" repeated: What expenditure! more emphatically than before. And if you were a sensitive person of quick thought, you added to yourself: "How would a poor man feel in this room?" Miss Jollibert, at all events, appeared to feel very comfortable, Hor diamonds flashed the fire-light, as she lav back in a luxurious armchair and toyed with the folds of her rose-colored velvet. The peo-V F0' Malchester said it was ridiculous Miss Jollibert should dress herself up in a rose-colored velvet and diamonds when she was alone, for the simple pleasure of p'uinjc the firelight flash on them. Miss Jollibert however, cared little what any one slid! and nt all events she was looking supn'-hlv handsome.

A clock on the mantel-piece struck the hour of eight; and a minute after, eight tolled forth from a neighboring steeule and was borne to Miss Jollibert's window with a gust of drifting snow. She shivered nt the sound of the snow, leaned foi and poked the fire; then turned and selticd jCi-t-n hl uie nine tea service on the low tnble beside her. She went over them all. A cream-pot, a slop-bowl, a su- aim luu-cups. i5iie examined wie iwo iea-cups particularly; little price less triiiKcts tney were.

She put them down and examined her own beautiful hands they were beautiful hands. Then jhe removed the little toast-rack on the ta-tilo down to the firo, after which she fell into a profound reverie until a quarter past i no ruuseu nerseii once more and rang the bell. An instant after a servant, dressed in lilnck, appeared nt the door. "Jniws," asked she, in a peculiarly musical contralto voice, "did you deliver my note to the Bishop? You did And waited for the answer? What was the exact message given to you!" "His Lordship sent his compliments, if yon please 'm, and he would be hnppy to be at Miss Jollibert's by five minutes to eight precisely." sighed Miss Jollibert. Just as Miss Jollibert sighed Hum, a tall man, some years turned forty, was stamping his feet free from snow downstairs in the hall.

Seen by the flickering lamp-light, he looked a very pale and rather gaunt student; but when he passed on up into the brilliancy of the staircase, his clear-cut features lost their guimtness; and one noted the striking intellect of his large white brow, and the limpid beauty of his rather dreamy eyes.

She did not speak until she had poured tea into the two teacups, and seated herself with her own in the arm-chair which she had before occupied. "I dare say you were rather surprised when you had my note this afternoon, Bishop?" Ho stirred his tea slowly, looking at her, mid smiling again. "I was curious to know what could bo (he important matter that was troubling Miss Jollibert's tuiud, mid I was I of the Widespread Commotion Caused by tho Terrible Confession of a rhysician. The story published in those columns recently, from the Rochester, N.

Democrat and Chronicle, created a deal of comment here as it has elsewhere. Apparently it caused even more commotion in Rochester, as the following from the same paper shows Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well-known not only in Rochester, but in nearly very part of America, sent an extended article to this paper a few days ago which as duly published, detailing his remarkable experience and rescue ironi naDseomeu to lie certain death.

It would be impossible to enumerate the personal inquiries which ha-e been made at our oflice as to the validit of tho article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was doomed necessary. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Heuion nt his resi dence on Andrew street, when tho following interview occurred: "That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirl wind. Are the statements about the terri ble condition you were in, and the wav you were rescued, sucn as you can sustain Every one of them and many addition al ones. I was brought so low by neglecting tho first and most simple symptoms.

I did not think I was sick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next: felt dull nnins and mv stomach was out of order, but I did not think it meant auvthing serious. The med ical profession has been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is hiprh time it ceased. The symptoms I have just montioned or any unusual action or irritation of tho water channels indicate the ap proach of kidney disease morethan a cough announces the coming of consumption. We do not treat the couirh, but try to help tha lungs.

We should not waste our time try ing to relieve the headache, pains about the body or other symptoms, but go directly to the kidneys, tue source 01 most or these ailments." "This, then, is what you meant when you said that more than one-half tho deaths which occur arise from Blight's disease, is it Doctor!" "Precisely. Thousands of diseases are torturing people to-dny, which in reality are xmguL uisease in some 01 lis many forms. It is a hydra-headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one wuo cas tnem. 1 can look back aud recall hundreds of deaths which Ehy sicians declared at the time were caused paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints, which I see now were caused by Brigut's disease." "And did all these cases have simple symptoms at nrstf "tvery one of might have been cured as was by the timely use of the same remedv. I am cettini? mv eves thoronp-hlv opened in this matter and thiiik I am help ing ot hers to see the tacts anatueir possible danger also." Mr.

Warner, who was visited at his esfcab-ment on North St. Paul street, spoke very earnestly "It is true that Bright's disease hiid increased wonderfully, and we lind, bv relia ble statistics that from '70 to 't0, its frowth was over bdu per cent. Look at the nromi-nent men it has carried off, and is inking off every year, for while many are dving apparently of paralysis and apoplexy, "they are really victims of kidney disorder, which causes heart disease, paralysis, apoplexy, etc. Nearly every week the papers record the death of some prominent man from this scourge. Recently, however, tho increase has been checked and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy." peoplo are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it?" A prominent professor in a New Orleans medical college was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright's disease.

He had various fluids under microscouic analy sis and was showing the students what the indications of this terrible maladv were. 'And now, be said, 'as we have seen the unhealthy indications I will show you how it appears in a state of perfect and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As he watched the results his countenance suddenly changed his oolor and command both left him aud in a trembling voice he said: 'Gentlemen, I uave mane a painiiu discovery; 1 nave Bright's disease of the And in less than a year he was dead. The slightest indications of any kidnev difficulty should be enough to strike terror to auy one." "You know of Dr. Henion's case?" "Yes, I have both read and heard of it." "It is very wonderful, is it not?" 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.

1 know it from my own and the experience of thousands of prominent persons who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends." "You speak your own experience; what was ltj" A fearful one. 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 since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying: There goes a man who will be dead w'ithin a I believe his words would have proved true if I had not providentially used the remedy now known as Warner's Safe Cure." Did vou make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr.

H. H. Warner, some three years ago, Doctor?" was asked Dr. S. A.

Latti-more, one of the analysts of the state board Of health." "Yes, sir." "What did this analysis show youl" A serious disease of the kidneys." Did you think Mi-. Warner could recover?" No, sir. I did not think it possible." Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him "I have chemically analyzed it and find it pure aud harmless." Dr. Henion was cured five years ago and is well and attending to his professional duties to-dav. in this citv.

The standini? of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community is beyond question, and the statements they make can not for a moment be doubted. Dr.

Henion's experience shows that Bright's disease of the kidneys is one of the most deceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can be cured if taken time.

1: fm-85. Prepared by I HOOD Apothecaries, Lowell, Mass. 100 Doses One Dollar Wty None But the Very Best Quality Should Be Used. Sccdiufr time is at hand or near at baud in many localities in the South. In either planting or sowing, the qual ity of the seed is of more value than many persons suppose.

If the seed is mixed with foul seed, and all seed not specially cleaned is more or less so, the time spent in fully cleaning is time well spent. Grain seeds should first be cleaned over sieves specially prepared for the various species. If very extra seed is required, this may be gotten by cast mo-the seed across he barn floor. The heaviest will flv furthest. Now, if you always save our seed from this heavy, perfect seed, sowing; the next perfectly cleaned grade for the general crop, it will be if you start, wiih pure seed but a few years until you have that, in most respects, fully up to a true pedigree variety.

In relation to the crops that require cultivating, a short series of years will convince any experimenter of the absolute necessity of using none but the best seed. Take the potato, as an instance. The writer, vears in creased the enrliness of the Mercer potato a week by planting liberal pieces of the seed end, with only three eves left, and got also smoothness by select ing as seeuoiilysmotith, medium shaped specimens. While the average of the crop and in scarce seasons, small potatoes were planted for the market crops, the prime specimens were always saved for planting for seed. The true way to cause a variety to become weak and in time unlit for cultivation is to plant inferior seed.

As being well al tested, the following experiment of Major Alvord, of Houghton farm, will serve as a case in point: "With eighty-two varieties of potatoes the average weight per hill from the whole tuber medium sized as seed was thirty-six ounces; that from the usual cutting about three eyes twenty-four and a half ounces; that from one eye, twenty ounces!" Although particular seasons may modify this, yet it is a well known fact that, except on rich, specially prepared soil, where the young plant quickly gets hold, no good can be done by planting small cuts of potatoes, and here again, is another lesson: The richer the soil near the seed the better for the crops. Farm, Field and Stockman. THE GOOSE-BONE. Kentucky's Great and Infallible Weather rrnphet. The goose-bone may be called "Kentucky's weather prophet." In many farm-houses it will be found hanging in the hall, and old men who have had it for years, say that the genuine bone never fails.

The real bone can only be obtained from a goose that was hatched out in the spring; the month of May is said to be the best. The goose must not be killed until Indian summer has passed away. After cooking remove the breast-bone, scrape it clean, and then wash it in warm water, and let it dry for a day or two. When it has been thus prepared, hold it up to the sun, or in front of a lam) in a dark room is belter, and the discolorations can be easily deciphered, and to one who knows the bone the reading is as plain as a book. A bone shown to a reporter was taken from a goose hatched out in May.

A row of dots found along the keel of the bone indicates the temperature, and the darker the spots the colder will be the weather. Some licht. cloudy discolorations that spread out over the keel 01 the bono are an indica tion of falling weather, and the darker their discolorations the more rain or snow there will be. The marks dividing the bone indicate the three winter-months, December commencing at the front. Louisville Times.

TITLES IN FRANCE. French General Forbids the Use of obie Titles in Military Correspondence. All thorough-goinn; republicans have been much exercised by the lingering likingfor noble or aristocratic titles which prevails among the officers of the army. Such tastes, say th democrats, should certainly not be al lowed to grow in a republican country, where the highest title of courtesy is that of "honorable," and only repre sentatives of foreign states are treated to the distinction of "excellency." Up to the present the War Oiiice has not taken any steps to prevent young Lieutenants whose fathers happen to have held o'd titles of nobility from calling themselves Counts or Barons and signin themselves as such in official and other docmuen's, leaving their military rank in the background. This fashion, the republicans assert, has only come in since the reappearance of the Orleans Princes in the army, and has been adopted not only by youthful subalterns, but bv veteran Colonels and even Generals.

General Loserot. command ing the Eighth Army Corps, has, how ever shown himself more autocratic than the War Office can well dare to be, and in a general order lately issued forbids the use of noble titles in mililarv correspondence. Paris Cor. N. Telegram.

The craze has nfflE MAIDS it is true; but it was a grand old brown building with long terraced gardens, sloping away down to the river; aged trees, and huge clusters of scarlet geranium, turning them in summer into a paradise. Sometimes Miss Jollibert would go out to drive with the Bishop and the Pis'iop's sister. Jliss Hammersley. a tinv. silve: haired ladv; and on such evenings the curious passers-by on the river would catch a glimpse ot rose-colored velvet, and oiacK-coat here; and a glimmer ot gray satin, and silver hair, and knitting-pins up there under the portico.

On such eveuings Miss Jollibert was very happy. Once or twice before the wedding there were grand entertainments. Other and older Bishops, grave Deans, ambitious Canons, and many other migiily men paced two and two amidst the singing of the birds, and the red sunsets, and the distant sound of splashing oars on the river. Miss Jollibert had great waves of trouble-doubts as to her con victions and conversions sweep over her then; and she half gretted her grand sacrifice, aud her quiet convent. And when such phrases as "The Ancient Traditions of the Church as "The legitimacy of the Apostolic Succes sion, came upon her unawares round the drooping laburnum, she was often upon the point of declaring boldly and outright, that they had nothing to do with the An cient Traditions, or the Apostolic Succes sion, jiut sue managed to content herselt with sighing Km: and with relieving hor mind on the matter as soon as she found herself alone with her own Bishop.
