TtXicCLic&l.
Many years ago, while engaged in the general
practice of medicine I saw the dark and apparently
hopeless condition of nearly every sufferer from
CHRONIC DISEASES, as well as the utter futility
of the methods of relief (relief simply and not
cure) employed by the best in the medical f rater
nity, and I speedily determined my course of ac
tion and wedded my professional life to the mos
careful analysis and intimate knowledge of the pe
culiartties of this class of ailments, bending also
my energies to find some
NEW
Method of Treatment
Which would be alike satisfactory to my patients
and myself.
Not the work of a day, or a month, or a yaar, but
after MANY years of persistent application, I have
by actual proof and test fixed and determined a
line of treatment which for positive certainty of
results borders on . the marvelous and has aptly
been termed
A PRICELESS DISCOVERY.
And I can show, prove and demonstrate to any
reasonable, sensible, intelligent person that the
most difficult, long-standing and obscure CHRON
IC DISEASES will yield as if by magic t my Naw
Rational, Scientific Treatment, and I have no
hesitancy in saying that in the large majority of
such cases I can not only ?ive Relief, but can Cure
them. My treatment, touching the foundation and
removing absolutely the cause of disturbance, rap
idly builds anew, invigorates with healthy growth
and recreates the original design.

THE NEW SPELLER.
We call the attention ot our readers to the
articles from the Kegistor and the Union re
printed on this page. As we understand the
somewhat remarkable performance criticised
in these articles the criticism is well war
ranted. Some of the facts are as follows:
Last spring somebody thought it wonld be a
good idea to hare a new speller in the
schools. The "new methods" of spelling
are much better than the old ones, yon
know. Therefore the machinery was put in
motion and the committee on schools quiet
ly decided and reported in favor of a change.
This stirred up the firm whose book is now
in the schools, and its representative came
here and declared that he wonld furnish a
better and a cheaper book than the one
which was reported, and asked the Board to
wait a reasonable time until the book could
be got ready. The Board voted to postpone
the matter with the understanding that the
new book should be examined. But on
Friday night the report of the committee in
favor of a change was summarily adopted.
As we look at the matter, there was no
necessity for a change, the change has been
made in a way that is not above criticism,
and the firm whose book is now in the
schools has not been treated as the Board of
Education of the city of New Haven ought
to treat those with whom it does business.
The people of New Haven must pay for a
book that is not needed, and fair competi
tion has not been allowed so that the best
book for the least money conld be had.
FOR GOVERNOR.
During this week and next there will be
lively times among the Republicans of Con
necticut. By the end of next week all the
delegates to the convention will have been
chosen and the political prophets will have
some real foundation for their prophecies.
Care should be taken to send to the conven
tion men of ability and good judgment, who
will know how to act wisely, for the work to
be done is very important. We do not be
lieve in the politician's idea of picking out
"harmless" men for delegates and then
"pledging" them. Send men who are capa
ble of well understanding the situation, and
then let them act as they think best.
Those who keep well informed concerning
the situation recognize that ever since the
mayor of Hartford frankly declared that he
was a candidate for the nomination far gov
ernor the feeling that the best thing the con
vention can do is to nominate him has been
steadily growing. It is now rapidly increas
ing and spreading. And we believe that the
more the situation is considered the deeper
and more widespread this feeling will be
come. It appears to us that the situation is a
plain one. We do not think anybody has a
"right" to the nomination. The convention
should be entirely free to disregard any
"claim." The people have the right to make
the nomination, and it is theirs alone. The
problem before the convention will be to
pick out a man who is well fitted for the of
fice and who will make the best rnn. We
are heartily of the opinion that this problem
can be best solved by the selection of Mayor
Bulkeley. There is no need to call attention
to his fitness. He is at the head of a great
business enterprise, is thoroughly identified
with Connecticut interests, and hasmade an
excellent record during the last six years as
mayor of Hartford. He has brains, energy,
and unusual administrative ability. He would
make a good governor.
There is also, in eur opinion, no question
as to the political wisdom of nominating
him. He is a very popular man. Warm
hearted and unpretentious in his intercourse
with men, he makes friends wherever he
goes. He is not purse-proud or haughty.
There is no ill feeling against him among
the people. He would be a strong candidate
in this respect. He would also be strong in
having in all parts of the State many per
sonal friends who wonld like nothing better
than an opportunity to "take off their coats"
and go heartily to work for their friend.
Few candidates for office have such a large,
hearty and energetio "personal following" as
Mr. Bulkeley. This would teil strongly for
him. In addition he is a first-class political
organizer himself, and this is a year when
the Republicans of Connecticut need all the
Bkill and strength they can get. Everybody
knows that if Mr. Bulkeley heads the Repub
lican ticket there will be a campaign which
will be successful if it can be made so.
He is the strongest candidate.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Such days as we have had "during the past
week are good enough for dog-days.
European capitalists are reported to be
making heavy investments in Mexico. Mex
ico has been a good place for "permanent in
vestments" by outside capitalists.
A man in Tennessee rises and declares that
if women do not keep their fingers ont of
the prohibition pie and cease trying to abol
ish whisky he intends to organise a party and
make war on corsets. . He asserts Mt hjj"
the facts in his possession which w4a4luble
him to show that tight corsets are a greater
evil to the country than tight men. It is
said that the anti-corset party idea is already
very popular in Kentucky.
The Meriden Republican resents the treat
ment whioh the Democratic newspapers have
bestowed upon the Republican candidates
for governor. This is what it says concern
ing Mayor Bulkeley: Morgan G. Bulkeley
has been chosen several years in succession
as the chief magistrate of the capital of the
State, because he has administered that ex
ecutive - office with unprecedented ability,
alwayS looking out for the interests of the
taxpayers. Surely such a man so successful
as the chief executive of such a city is qual
ified to apply the same sound principles to
State affairs, and must necessarily have the
necessary "fitness and capacity" to be gov
ernor. The Scientific American has this to say
about aluminum: It is predicted that alu
minum is the coming metal which is des
tined to supersede iron. It is the most
abundant metal in the earth's crust, and is

A Greek banker of Constantinople by the
name of Jannaki, who recently died, and
who, like many of his countrymen, enter
tained the hope that Constantinople would
one day become a Greek possession, left the
following will: This is my last will. My en
tire fortune I have acquired in the sweat
of my brow, honestly and without injustice.
No widow or orphan will curse my memory.
I have Buffered much jrom persons high in
rank, who live on their misdeeds against the
weak. My entire fortune I leave in an under
ground vault, so that the Greeks on taking
Constantinople may find this treasure and
erect with it a school, called the Pan-Hellen.
io. Its curators are to be the ruler of Greece,
the patriarchs of Constantinople, Jerusalem,
and Alexandria, and two of the most learned
Greeks. On the seizure of Constantinople,
when the wooden houses of the city will
become a prey of the flames, the box, I am
convinced, will be found. Should it be ac
cidentally found before then, I beseech the
Russian ambassador to see to it that it does
not fall into Turkish hands, bnt is brought
to St. Petersburg, there to be preserved until
the liberation of my people. All the pawn
tickets contained in the box belong to me,
for the sums lent on them will never be re
paid me, because the accrued interest amounts
to more than double the capital. I often
charged high interest, but only when the
loan was to be nsed for a bad purpose. Then
my object was to frighten off the borrower.
I was called a usurer, but unjustly. In a
second box will be found a gold-embroidered
dress of the Patriarch K., who borrowed 300
medjidee on it, which, as I learned to my
sorrow, he gave to the former vizier for the
removal of his rival. I pray and beseech
the finder of the box to carry out this my
last will.

Tne Republican Convention.
From the Norwich Bulletin
The State convention of the Republican
party has been called for Thursday, Septem
ber 9th. This leaves less than three weeks
for the friends of the candidates to complete
their work before their strength is tested.
The canvass being made in the interest of
Messrs. Bulkeley, Tibbitts and Lounsbury,
although characterized by unusual ardor, has
in it none of the elements of disgrnntlement.
A good feeling prevails everywhere, the im
portance of union and harmony is recognised
on every hand, and the Republican forces
are moving confidently forward to carry the
State. Each candidate's claim will be fully
presented iu the convention, and the action
of that body will meet the united and loyal
support of. the party.
The primary meetings must be held in the
next two weeks and the selections of dele
gates should be carefully made and the towns
be fully represented in the convention, which
is to consider important questions aside
from the nomination of a State ticket.
Tne Spelling; Rook Bn.tne...
From the New Haven Register.
At a regular meeting Friday evening the
Board of Education, by the required two
thirds vots, agreed upon a new speller to be
used in the public schools of this oity. The
action of the Board in this instanoe has oc
casioned considerable comment and not a
little adverse criticism. '
The necessity for a change in spellers is
not dearly established. It is certainly not
clear that the book chosen is bo mnch more
complete and desirable than the one now in
nse to warrant the Board either in forcing
parents to purchase it at a time when the
times are hard, or in their booming the book
bnsiness. A frequent criticism made upon
the Board of Education is the willingness it
shows to periodically impose a new bur
den upon parents, not able to easily
bear it, by compelling them to purchase new
school books. A change should be made
only where it is an indisputable fact that the
books in use are not snitable for the purposes
they are designed to serve. The parents of
our school children are, as a rule, either poor
people or people, at the best, in moderate
circumstances. To them a quarter of a dol
lar is considerable. They do not expect their
children to acquire more than a common
school education, and do not, therefore, ex
pect to get the advantages whioh are sup
posed to be derived from each new school
book. And so far as spelling books are con
cerned, they are by no means certain but
what after all the old Webster's speller ia
tne best speller in the market.
Moreover there is nothing to show but
what the book adopted will be improved up
on by another now in the press, which the
Board rejected at its meeting. It is claimed
by some that it certainly gives promise of
being more complete. The firm publishing
it, on the other hand, claims that the Board
agreed last spring to wait until September 1
before deciding on a new speller, and that it
was due to them, in view of the fact that the
speller now in nse of their make, that the
publication of them, which is promised by
that date, should have been patiently awaited.
We agree with this, not only because it
would have been more dignified for the
Board to have lived np to its own motion,
but because upon comparison with the one
accepted it might have transpired that the
best one has not been accepted after all.
Certainly if the object in making a change
was to get the best speller, and we assume it
was, then the action of tBe Board was ill
advised and undignified in the extreme.
All things considered, it looks as if the
Board would have acted wisely had they
awaited better times before making a change,
and delayed a choice until all publishers had
been given an opportunity to compete.
From the New Haven Union.
We desire to call the attention of our read
ers to the action of the Board of Education
last evening in Tef using to lay over till the
next meeting the substitution of Moloney's
spelling book for the one now in use. Why
there should be such need for haste we are at
a loss to know. It was discourteous to
Messrs. Bennett and O'Brien not to grant the
request. True the Committee on Schools
have had it under consideration for a long
time, and the book has been referred to the
principals for their opinion, but that was
prior to the improvement in the Sheldon
book, which it is said could be furnished for
half the price of the Meloney book. The changes
of text books in the schools are a hardship to
many of the parents of the children who
have to pay for them, and without the cause
for change ia absolutely necessary should be
avoided. The trouble ia not bo much with
the spelling book as it is. with the diversifi
cation of studies, and the lack of time for
the children to become familiar with it.- In
our opinion the present Sheldon book, to
say nothing of the improved one
now m course of preparation, con
tained all that the majority of the children
found time to study. But at the opening of
the schools after vacation parents will be no
tified to furnish their children with new
spellers, the book publishers will reap a rich
harvest, the members of the Commit
tee on Schools and superintendent will
look wise and congratulate themselves
on the great improvement in the
speller, the parents who can least af
ford it will have to economize to buy
them, and after the children receive them
their time will be so taken np with other
studies that they will have little use for
them. There is a good deal of humbug
about all of this; but the people have the
remedy in their own hands. In Hartford
the district purchases the books for the chil
dren, and the text books cannot be changed
without the district so votes. It may be
necessary to put on the brakes in this city.
A Cuban Woman.
From the Philadelphia News.
In the physioal beauty of the Cnban woman
the commanding features are the foot, whose
daintiness and symmetry are marvellous; the
supple, willowy grace of movement of per
son; the exquisitely modelled form, and
the eyes, which never lose their lustre and
glow.
Cuban women wear Bhoes no larger than
the No. 1 size for women in the States. Nor
is the diminutive size the result of any pinch
ing procesa. She is born that way.
She is the most graceful woman on her feet,
in her walk and carriage,in the promenade,or
in the dance, yon ever saw.
Of her form, it is perfection. Nine women
out of ten you meet are models of symmetry.
There is a greater delicacy in line and pro
portion than is seen in the United States.
They do not so torture their persons or them
selves. The cnban woman's face may be said to be
wholly interesting and lovely rather than
wholly beautiful. Its beauty is in its expres
sion rather than in repose.
The face is of the Latin mold, oval and with
a delicate protruding of a pretty and shapely
chin.
Her complexion is waxen, creamy, with no
carnation in her cheeks. But her mouth,
large, mobile, tremulous, with just a sug
gestion of pathos in the slight drawing down
at the corners, has lips so red and ripe that
her ever perfect teeth dazzle in brilliant con
trast. Her hair is of that lead-black darkness
which suggests a weird, soft mist upon the
night and is indeed a glory ever.
But her eyes are her priceless, crowning
loveliness, her never ending power and
charm. They cannot be described. When
you say that behind their iong.dark half -hiding
lashes they are large, dark, dreamy yet
glowing, flashing with fire, liquid with lan
quor.you have onlv hinted their inexpressible
expressiveness. They are the same eyes . at
nine, at nineteen, at ninety.
How "Curfew" was Written.
. LFrom the Brooklyn Magazine
Of the hundreds of residents of the city
of San Antonio, Texas, only a few who fre
quently meet a tall, slender lady, with raven
brown eyes and hair, and with a singular
attractiveness in her face, know that she is
Mrs. Rose Hart wick Thorpe, whose famous
poem, "Curfew Must Not Ring To-night,"
has given her a reputation in both hemispher
es. How at the age of 10 years, the country
girl was led to write the poem, now so wide
ly known, is thus narrated, as furnished by
her personally for this publication: "The
poem was suggested to me by the reading of
the story, 'Love and Loyalty,' in April,1867.
I was then a plain country school girl, not
yet 17,residing with my parents at Litchfield,
Alich., and under the pretext of working our
mathematical problems, with my arithmet
ic before me, I wrote the poem roughly on
my slate. I was forced to carry on my liter
ary work under these difficulties because of
the opinion of my parents, that my time
could be better employed than in 'idle dreams
and useless rhymes.' I wrote the first copy
on my alate between 4 and 6 o'clock in the
afternoon, bnt mnch time has since been
spent in correcting and revising it. I had no
thousht that I would ever be able to write
anything worthy of public notice. The poem'
was first published in the Detroit Commercial
Advertiser in the fall of 1870. The editor, up
on receipt of my manuscript, at once wrote
me a lengthy letter of congratulation and
praise, in which he predicted the popularity
for the verees which they have since received.
I had no literary friends, not even a literary
acquaintance at that time, and did not know
the simplest requirements of preparing my
manuscript for publication." The poem at
once attracted popular attention, and bestow
ed upon its young author a reputation which
each succeeding year has enlarged. Although
it has been published in innumerable forms
and different books and collections, and has
been translated into the French and Ger
man languages, the poem has never brought
its author any financial remuneration, as ia
6ftea the case. "It raised me," writes Mrs.
Thorpe, "from a shy, obscure country girl
into publio notice, and brings to my side
yearly hosts of now and delightful friends.
Wherever I go, my friends are there before
me, and the poem, which I gave to the
public with no 'right' reserved, while it has
made a fortune for Others and dropped gold
en coins in other pockets, has reserved for
its author admiring friends." Mrs. Throrpe
spends her summers in her native climate of
Michigan, where she yearly recuperates from
the effects of a Texan winter. The author
is 36 years of age, is happily married and is
enabled to quietly enjov the respect and love
of her neighbors and friends, while her liter
ary admirers are legion.
The Fox and tne Goose.
From the Boston Transcript.
Once upon a time there was a fox and a
goose between whom there was a misun
derstanding, also a stream of water. The
fox was much exercised because of the dis
agreeable habit which the goose had of
making a noise like a snake npon frequent
occasions, which was very annoying to the
fox, whose nerves were exceedingly sensi
tive. It also aroused a feeling of envy in the
breast of Reynard to see the goose sailing
about on the surface of the water, aB though
for the express purpose of irritating her
four-footed neighbor, who was averse to
aqnatio exercise. The goose, on the other
hand, complained that the fox annoyed her
very much hy darting at her whenever she
approached his Bide of the stream. These
mutual bickerings went on for some time.
Finally the fox addressed the goose in this
wise: "Madam," he said, "how foolish in
us to live oa such unfriendly terms, when
the relations between us might be amicable.
Draw near I pray you for my voice is not
strong this morning and it is difficult for me
to talk bo loud and I will explain the
scheme which I have to propose." The
goose being beguiled by the seductive man
ners of her former enemy, swam to the side
of the stream where the fox was waiting.
In less time than it takes to tell it a sudden
transformation took place. Thereafter the
relations between the two animals were en
tirely amicable. But the goose was inside
of the fox.
Moral This fable teaches that one shonld
never show his hand at draw poker until the
money is np; also that in making terms with
another you should bp sure that he doesn't
get the bulge on you unawares; also, No. 2,
that one is somehow reminded of the fox and
the goose when he hears some employers talk
of the amicable relations which they wonld
like to live on with their help.
