Norton, of Bristol, Conn., wnen Atbxophobos put Mm on his feet, and sent him cheerfully about his business. Let Urn tell his own story : "About three weeks ago I was taken wita a severe crick in the back. For four days X was unable to turn in bed without help, and when lifted npoonld not stand on my feet I was induced to try At&xophobos, after all the usual remedies failed. In 30 minntes after taking the first doss I could bear my weight upon my feet. In two days I was able to get about and attend to business. In two other cases which have come to my knowledge its use has been attended with the same results." A poor man is Philadelphia had to bor row a dollar to hoy a bottle oC Atbxofhokos. On account ot his poverty his name shall remain a secret. He had suffered terribly from Rheu matism. He gratefully writes: I took my first dose Tuesday afternoon, and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, I had not a sharp or severe ache left. Then I reduced the dose one-half and took the remainder off the bottle. I was able to be steady at work tUl Sat- urday.when? took a severe cold and was un able to use my left hand. I purchased another bottle and by bed-thne I found relief. The medicine is all you claim for it" Investigate Atetlophohos all you pleaset Find all the fault yon choose with it ! and yet the fact remains, that it is doing what no other medicine ever could do for Rheu matism and Neuralgia. If you cannot get Athiofhoros of your drug gist, we will send It express paid, on receipt of reg-ular price one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy It from your druggist, but tt he. haant It, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us aa directed.

The St. John folly is getting a good many hard knocks nowadays. Many prominent and sensible prohibitionists see very plainly thnt the cause which they have so much at heart is not likely to gain anything by it, and may lose a great deal. Therefore they are doing what they can to restrain prohibition ists from, helping their worst enemies the Democrats into power. One of the latest to come ont against the St. John movement is the Rev. J. E. C. Saw yer, of the Troy Methodist conference, and a prominent and consistent advocate of tem perance reform, Tt - having Iieen reported that he had been offered a considerable sum of money by an agent of the Democratic State committee to help the St. John move ment, the reverend gentleman takes occasion to say that the report is not correct; but he adds, "that the Democratic managers are encouraging the St. John movement, for the sake of the damage they hope it may do the Republican party, we all know," and "that they, would give money for the purpose I cannot doubt." He considers the third part;. in this campaign simply a tender to the Democratic party.' "Every vote' for that party is virtually a vote for Grover Cleve land, who not only stands on an anti-prohibition platform, but also chose to make his commendation of that feature of the plat form of the Democratic party the only sig nificant part of his letter of acceptance. From the opening of the campaign I have been compelled by my convictions as a radi cal and lifelong temperance man- to frankly oppose the third party movement as injudi" cious, reckless, inconsistent and calculated to do much harm to the temperance cause." These are plain words and well worth heed' ing by the really sincere friends of prohibi tion. It is astonishing that the St. John movement should have received such sup port as it has. Those who vote the prohibi tion ticket this year will simply be' serving as assistant Democrats. " EDITORIAL NOTES. A pretty line legal point has been decided in Charlesfon, South Carolina. A colored man was before the police court for keeping an unlicensed dog and put in a plea that the dog was not a dog, but a puppy. The judge discharged him, basing his decision on his knowledge as a dog fancier that a puppy is a puppy and does not become a dog till it is a year old. They have some remarkable thieves in Philadelphia. One of them not long ago stole the zinc roof off the almshouse. Now it has just leaked out that four brass cannon, relics of the rebellion, weighing over 900 pounds apiece, were stolen over a year ago from the cellar of the Second Regiment ar mory in Philadelphia. They were so heavy that a derrick must have been used to lift them from the cellar. By and by somebody will be stealing the city hall .if the police are not more careful. The cultivation of flax is becoming an im portant feature of agriculture in the North west. It is only within recent years that the mills for the manufacture of linseed oil in this country could secure the necessary raw material except by importation, bnt last year's yield in the United States aggregated about 7,000,000 bushels, and the total this year promises to reach from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000 bushels, fully one-half of which is raised in Minnesota and Dakota. The plant produces on-the average as many bushels to the acre as wheat, and as the price ranges from $1 to $1.15 per bushel the crop is a de cidedly profitable one. As an element in that diversification of our agriculture which is so desirable, the growing attention that is paid to flax culture is a healthy sign. The Civil Service commissioners of Massa chusetts have made considerable progress in their work during the past month. In the latter part of August a circular was issued to the heads of the several State departments and the mayors of cities asking for certain information in regard to the offices and em ployments to which the provisions of the Civil Service act apply.. Most of the officers to whom the circular was addressed have-fur. nished the desired information; a partial classification of the service has been made and the rules are now being drafted. The commissioners will probably be able to sub mit their work for the approval of the gov ernor and council by the middle of Novem ber. After the rules are approved they must be advertised at least two months before they go into operation; so that there are not like ly to be any examinations for some time to come. " Dr. Emil Holub, whose large collections in the natural history and ethnography ot Af- rica have enriched the museums of Austria, , is now carrying ont a very large scheme of exploration. He left Cape Colony recently; intending to cross the country from south to north." He expects to be gone three years. He hopes to cross the neater parting between the Congo and Zambesi rivers, a region of which little is known, to trace the sources of theJCOngo river in the country that Living stone alone has" visited, to solve the problem of the destination of the river Welle, in which, however, Ih Junker may anticipate hinvand to pnsh north either through Dar- fur or Wadai. In 1872 Dr. Holub vainly ap plied to several scientific bodies to send him i to Africa. He finally started on his own ac count, reached Port Elizabeth with $15 in his pocket, practised medicine in the dia- , mond fields, and spent his earnings and two years and a half" of time in explorations which were so remarkably fruitful that the Vienna Geographical society and other bodies raised, last winter, $25,000 to enable him to carry out his present enterprise. The suicide tables prepared by the insur ance boards are quite complete for the cur rent year.During the six months ending with t806 snicides occurred in the ITnited. StatesTheusual annual -averace is about. 1,700, or about 32 per million of population. The youngest suicide was thirteen years of age and the eldest eighty-nine. Distributed by principal causes, 72 were traced to insani ty, 54 to family troubles, 44 to sickness, 33 to business troubles, 20 to love troubles and 28 to dissipation. Distributed by conditions, 129 were husbands, 33 wives, 67 bachelors, 33 maids, 21 widowers, 9 widows and 7 di vorced persons: Distributed by means employed, 110 shot themselves, 76 swallowed poison, 61 hanged themselves, 38 cut their throats, 34 chose drowning and the remain der preferred other methods. Of the whole number, 284 were males and 99 females about the usual ratio of three males to one female. Distributed by States, snicides were most numerous in Illinois, in New York next, in Indiana next and Ohio and Pennsylvania tie for fourth place with 28 each. Daylight was chosen by 269 and the night by 114. The Independents do not think as highly of Mr. Theodore Roosevelt as they did when tney were expecting him to join them. At a Republican meeting in Maiden, Massachu setts, the other evening, Mr. Roosevelt told wEy he was not an Independent. Mr. Blaine, he said, was not his choice. He tried to prevent his nomination. But Mr. Blaine was the choice of the bone and sinew of the Republican party, Abraham Lincoln's "plain people;" he was fairly and honorably nominated; "I, for one," said Roosevelt, "am quite content to abide by the decision of the plain people." . Later iu his speech the New York reformer told the Massachusetts folks what he knew about Mr. Grover Cleveland. His own public career had been short, he l-eaid, but Mr. Grover Cleveland's had been still shorter and circumstances had thrown them a good deal together. Mr. Grover Cleveland was not a demagogue, but he was a Democratic politician. He had signed some of the reform bills laid before him "those that did not bear too harshly on the Democratic organizations." He had not signed the bill that would have ousted Mr. Hubert O. Thompson. "There has been nothing whatever in his past career," said Mr. Roosevelt, "to warrant its in saying that he will be able to resist the pressure of his party that he will have the power to resist the almost incalculable pressure that will be brought to bear upon him if he is elected." RECENT PUBLICATIONS. Lippineott's Magazine for November op ens with a well illustrated article, by Ed mund Kirke, giving the narrative of a journey up the French Broad when the roads had been rendered impassable by a flood, "A Holiday in Scotland," by Norman Pear son, an English barrister, is a breezy account of shooting and fishing in the highlands and the borderland during the "long vacation." The author of "Study and Stimulants" dis cusses the position of John Bright in relation to the temperance movement. Catharine Hopley, author of "Snakes," has a pleasant article on "Domestic Pets." Eugene Didier gives a gossipy account of "American Auth ors and Artists in Rome," and Theodore Child describes the great bazaars of Paris, under the title of "The . Women's Paradise." The serials by Miss Tincker and the "Duchess," some interesting short stories, poems, and short papers and sketches, make np a number of varied interest and attrac tiveness. Among the articles of special interest in the November number of the Popular Science Monthly is a paper by S. W. Powell, entitled Drowning the Torrent in Vegetation." Apropos of the disastrous floods of 1883-84 in the Ohio river, the writer urges the impor tance of forest preservation on the steep hill sides in the areas drained by streams. He shows what the experience of other countries teaches with regard to the treatment of for ests, giving in particular an account of the ravages of floods in the south of France, their origin and the success of efforts to tame those torrents . ty reforesting the Dasins which they drain. Other articles are "Chil ian Volcanoes, Active and Extinct," by Dr. Karl Ochsenius, translated from Die Natur; "The Future of the Negro in the South," by J. B. Craighead; "German Testimony on the Classics Question," by F. A. Fernald; and Dr. William A. Hammond's paper on "The Relations Between the Mind and the JNervous System." Edward Everett Hale in the November number of the North American Review makes a plea for "Half-Time in Schools" which ought to receive serious consideration. Prof. Gilliam discusses "The African Problem." The facts that he gives as to the increase of the negroes in the United States, their pecul iar situation and disposition, and the problem they will force upon us in the near future call for the gravest consideration. The other articles in this number are: "Woman as a Political Factor," by Judge Robert C. Pit man; "Progress in Naval Armament," by Hobart Pasha, who thinks the United States trovernment has been wise in not construct- ine a costly navy; "Friendship in Ancient' Poetry," by Principal J. C. Shairp;","Herbert Spencer's Latest Critic," by Prof. E. L. You mans; "Over-Illustration," by Charles T. Congdon; and "Restrictions of the Suffrage," by William u. Scruggs. Harper's for November opens with a very full illustrated account of Columbia college. Joseph Hatton describes a day at Kew Gar den; and the illustrated article on the great hall of William Rufus is continued. An drew Lang writes of Sydney Smith. Nor man Fisher-Folk are described by Mary Gay Humphreys. Francis Parkman, the histo rian, whose papers are more enjoyed than those of any other writer of history of these days, tells the story of the Acadian Tragedy. Mr. Re's papers on Nature run on and Mr. Black's Judith Shakespeare ends. The edito rial tables are readable and there is abund ance of other entertaining matter. The first number of the new volume of St. Nicholas is full of good things. ; It opens with a handsome frontispiece in colors from a painting .by A. M. Furner. J. T. Trow bridge contributes the opening chapters of "His One Fault," in which the hero, through "his one fault" of heedlessness sets in motion the train of consequences which will follow him and interest the reader through the en tire volume; and in another serial, "Among the Lawmakers," the author, Edmund Alton, relates his often amusing experiences while a page in the United States Senate, tells many new anecdotes of publio men, and gives a graphic and easily understood account of the organization of the national govern ment. - Frank - R. Stockton, in the first of his "Personally Conducted" papers, takes his party of four hundred thou sand girls and boys to some of the monu ments of Roman greatness found in other countries. To boys who are "Ready for Bus iness," George J. Manson proposes to give, nnder this title, the results of his interview. with representative men in various branches of trade; the first paper treats of "A Retail Drug Store." Other attractions peculiar to this number are a capital girl story by Loui sa M. Alcott, the first half of a boy story by H. H. Boyesen and much more that is thor oughly enjoyable. : The November Century marks the begin ning of the fifteenth year of the magazine (the fourth under the present name) and also the beginning of the most extensive enter prise yet undertaken by its conductors, the recently announced series of papers on "The Civil War," by Generals Grant, Mc- Clellan, Rosecrans and others in high rank. The first paper, on "The Battle of Bull Run," is contributed by General Beauregard, who dd to his decaription of the cagagemeinV a postscript on the . subsequent conduct of the war on' the Confederate side, and his own relations with Jefferson Davis. The illustrations, some twenty-five in number, are largely from photographs made during the war, or from recent sketches of the battle held, and are by Fenn, Taber, Thulstrup, Redwood and others. The first part of the "Recollections of a Private" be gins with the enlistment-of the soldier, and continues the description of his life down to and including Bull Run, thns supplementing Uen. Beauregard's account of that battle. That the variety of the magazine is not like ly to be sacrificed to the War Series is evi dent from the other contents of the issue. The : "frontispiece is one of Mr. Elihu Vedder's illustrations of the Rubaivat of Omar Khawam, the Persian poet, five others of which are reproduced, with text by Mr. Horace E. Scudder; "The Chinese Theater," by Henry Burden McDowell, is an entertain ing paper, with striking drawings by T. Wores and Kenyon Cox, the latter of whom writes and illustrates a paper on "The Sculptors of the Renaissance;" Austin Dob son contributes a poem, "The Old Sedan Chair," which has illustrations by Reginald Birch. Mr. Joel Chandler Harris (of ''Uncle Renins" fame) is the author of a new story of ante-bellum days in the South, entitled' Free Joe and the Rest of the World," which Mr. A. B. Frost has illustrated to Mr. Harris' entire satisfaction. Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote has drawn a full-page picture to ac company a story of Colorado, by Mr. T. A. Janvier, entitled "The Lost Mine." The fic tion comprises also "A Tale of Negative Gravity," by FrankTl. Stockton, and the be ginning of a new novel by Mr. W. D. How- ells, dealing with the life of an American business man, and called "The Rise of Silas Lapham." There are other articles too nu merous to mention, and all good.

"Do yon want some?" inquired the deacon. "Yes, I'm 'mighty" dry." A glass was brought and the preacher proceeded to gulp it down. "Mr. Goodlove," whispered the deacon, waiting for the glass. "Well, what is it?" asked the preacher, stopping his libation. "Uon't you think you'd better of fer a little to your sermon?" The discourse was knocked out in the next round.. Mer chant Traveller.

A Cruel Driver. To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: This morning I witnessed a piece of what, seemed great and unnecessary cruelty to a balky horse which was attached to a grocer's or butcher's wagon and was driven by a young, red-faced fellow, who refused to give the owner's name to those who asked for it. He tied pieces of twine to the horse's legs and then tightened the cords with a stick, which undoubtedly gave the poor creature great pain, and he also filled its ears and mouth with gravel. There was no name or number on the team. Who are the proper officers to complain to and where are they to be found? Some who saw the affair thought the team camfrom the City market. It was going up Chapel above Howe street. Will you not publish this in your paper? Perhaps it will assist in causing the man's punish ment. A Lady Who Witnessed the Affair. A Story of English Ignorance. From the London Spectator. ' To Americans who all resent the stigma of miscegenation, and know its incompati bility wtth the pride Creoles take in their race, this is rather startling. English mis takes concerning class distinctions in Ameri ca are often egregious. Just such a mistake caused to be enacted a little bit of comedy in an English castle some years ago, wherein three well-born American maidens and the daughters of their English host were the chief actors. The American girls were cousins. One was Ellen Lewis Herndon, the late wife of President Arthur; another, Ellen. Mercer Herndon (by their middle names they were always distinguished), now . Mrs. Seth French of New York, and the third was Nannie Maury, daughter of Capt. Matthew Maury, the scientist. The two accompanied Capt. Maury as far as England, where they were to remain while he went on to attend a reunion of savants in Berlin, the young ladies, all school-girls ,in their younger teens, being permitted to accept an invitation to visit the home of a titled Englishman, who had often been entertained when at Washington by Capt. Maury. One day, after luncheon, the girls English and American, being all left to their own desires, began conversation about life in America. Just then Miss Maury, who was a dark brunette with crisp black locks, closely curled about the face, left the room, and one of the English girls took oc casion to ask her cousins with all the inno cence of ignorance a very startling question: "Is your cousin's mother a negress?" If one of the turrets of the English castle had fallen at their feet the two American girls could not have been more astonished and discon certed. With the southern blood tingling in their vans and surging in their cheeks, they asked with freezing dignity. "What do you mean?" The English girl with all her sang froid quietly replied: "From Miss Maury's dark complexion and eyes and black curly hair, we supposed she was a Creole, knowing that you are from the Southern States, and aa we know her father is not a negro, we thought her mother must be." "Her mother is sister to our father," cried the Herndon cousins at once, "and you insult us all." and the indignant girls hurried away to their andbe?an Tracking their trunks to leave, f ef using to listen to the apologies or regrets of the English maidens, who hastened with the story of their faux pas to the lord of the manor. His promot explanation had the effect of soothing his guests' ire and har mony was restored. The naivete of the question only goes to show, what I before re marked upon, the. absence of a prejudice against the negro in Europe which is every where seen in this country.

WILCOX & CO., 767 -A-HNTID 771 CHAPEL STREET. oc!5 Given Up To Die. Buffalo. N. Y.,'Oct. 2, 1883. I had for 2 years been troubled with terrible sick headaches and a horrible cough. My skin turned to a yellowish hue. I suffered the most excruciating pain of the bowels; small, dry, irritating humors broke out over my face; my stomach would not re tain the simplest food ; vomited great quantities of offensive, greenish mucus. The Doctor Said I Could Not Live. JIn April I commenced taking Burdock Blood Bit ters, and in July was cured by this medicine alone. The stomach and bowels seemed the first acted up- on, after which I rapidly improved. My appetite returned, the terrible sick headache left me, the hacking cough gradually abated, and from the first bottle I could sleep well at night. I do not think there is a case of sick headache Burdock's Blood Bitters will not cure, (they cured my sister, Mrs. Thos. J. Halej', of this city). Those who saw me six months ago consider my recovery a miracle. I was no less astonished, and shall le pleased to reply to all letters of inquiry concerning my case.
