Being a be liever in natural remedies I went to the Highland Springs for the mineral water and used it with splendtd results The use of the water put me in excellent condition and I prize it very highly for its remedial qualities, many nners to my Knowl edge in past years have used thn water for various complaints with like benefit. I bad a man named n.vtri RAf-her at work for me at the same time who was afflicted with an ugly sore on his ankle which finally spread over the entire foot. He tried the best skill to be found with no good results. I procured tne spring water for him and he drank it and bathed his foot with it. The foot became en- ; rotv hejilAri and has remained so ever since. Mr. B. is st'li living in North Manchester and I have no doubt would be willing to give the facts to any in quirer.

Saturday, January 1, 1SS7. . THE OLD YEAR. 1886 has been a notable year for this conn- try. The most -startling event - was the Charleston earthquake, which came Angnst 31st, and brought a vivid realization of the instability of things. It also led to a splen did illustration of the generosity of the American people. During most of the year labor troubles have been conspicuous In March the great strike on the Gould south western system of railroads began, and ended in failure . in May. In Chicago, May 4th, Anarchy reared its horrid head, and the dynamite bombs killed or wounded sixty -six brave policemen. In New York the street railroads have been- busy in being tied np and untied. And in almost all parts of the country there has been unrest among the wage-workers. But in spite of all obstacles, business has gone on with much prosperity and the outlook is better than it has been for a long time. The criminal record of the year is not a cheeringone. '' There has been a good deal of embezzling, defaulting, and other euphonious stealing by people whose positions in churches . and Sunday schools made their downfall seem very surprising. There has been an unusual amount of scandal involving ministers, several of whom have had to ap pear in court to explain their performances. The revelation of official corruption in New York city was appalling, but the promptness with whioh many of the offenders were brought to justice gives hope. The movements for the elevation and amelioration of the condition of that part of the human race which inhabits this country have not been as conspicuous as the crimes, but there is good reason to believe that they were never so numerous and efficient aa now. Death has been especially busy in .shooting at shining marks. Among those who have gone are : Major General David Hunter, General W. S. Hancock, ex-Governor Horatio Seymour, John B. Gough, United States Senator J. F. 'Miller of California, United States Senator Autdin 5'Fike fcf Hampshire, Oonrres--men Lewis Beach and John Arnot, jr., of New-York State, Congressman William T.

And as the year closes a kindly suit is being pressed to determine whether or not some Andover professors have been guilty of a breach of trust in not sufficiently insisting on the im mediate and final damnation-of their- dead fellow sinners. -. The chief social event of the year was the wedding of the President of the United States. . Here's to his good health, and that of his bonnie wife. May his . rheumatism leave him speedily, and may he and his wife live long and prosper. On the whole, in spite of all drawbacks and disturbances, this country has prospered during the last year, and is yet a good place for a lover of freedom to live in. It is also such a rich country that nobody can tell what to do with the treasury surplus. In the old world they have been preparing for war, as they always are; and the difficulty there is to get enough money to buy arms and feed and clothe the soldiers with. Per haps the most conspicuous occurrence in the old world during the last year was the defeat of Gladstone and home rule. May the new year be a brighter one for the ' Irish patriots and those who are upholding their cause. Good-bye, old year. We have done with thee. Welcome the new. Let us enter it with courage and hope. EDITORIAL NOTES. Wish you A Happy New Year! But be careful not to write it 1886. Unpleasant as the establishment of suoh a precedent" as the granting of Mr. Andrew's claim would be, there is justice in the claim. Dr. Aveling, the Socialist, . is quite, dis gusted with this country. The Socialists of this country are dissatisfied with his greed, and there doesn't seem to be anybody who will feel Dr. Aveling's contempt much.

It is the elause which provides that' hereafter no applicant for 'a pension shall be required to prove his physi cal soundness at the date of enlistment. Certainly it : is fair to presume that a man whp was accepted for active military aervige was m good health at the time he was aa- eepted. . And even were the contrary true, it would add to his merit. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the millionaire iron king of Pittsburg, is a sensible man. It having been extensively announced that he is about to build a castle in Pennsylvania, he writes to say that it is no such thing. Noth ing, he says, eould be more out of place in this republic, and in this age, than the feu dal castle of barbarous times. Castles have had their day.- Even in Scotland it is with great difficulty that occupants are found for these wretched, gloomy, uncomfortable semi prisons. The "castle" that Mr. Carnegie proposes to build will be a modest stone house, at moderate cost, and its appoint ments will.be in accordance with his ideas of republican simplicity. It was thought necessary at a meeting of the St. Louis Evangelical association to pass a resolution saying that since the recent res olution of the Alliance condemning the bal let had seemed to imply an approval of the opera, and thus tended to the disparagement of the character of the Christian ministry and Christianity itself, therefore the "Alliance heartily disapproved of all theatrical plays and performances whatsoever as worldly and carnal divertisements, unbecoming the Christian character and conversation; that they disapproved of the' opera because the art of music was invariably more or less combined in it with carnal and woridly dis plays, and that they warned the members of their churches not to frequent the opera in any place, or any other theatrical display apt to make people carnal, sensual and crim inal. There was an earnest debate on the resolutions, which were passed by a vote of thirteen to nine. Mr. C. N. Fay of Chicago, president of the National Telephone - Exchange association, makes out a good case for the ''monopolists" when he says: The capital Block of the American Bell Telephone company is $10, 000,000, now selling in the market for $19, 000,000. The stockholders have actually paid in $6,000,000 and therefore the profit to date is $13,000,000. The license companies throughout the country are capitalized at about $54,000,000, selling in the market at not to exceed $24,000,000, an amount below the actual money paid therefor and below the actual cost of the plant and business. Individuals have made money in the manipu lation of telephone stocks, but the broad fact remains that the entire amount of profit wrung from the suffering people during ten years of hard work has added to their in vestments of $30,000,000 of capital, say five per cent, per annum. On the basis of the last census this would be three cents per an num extorted from each of the suffering peo ple aforesaid. BALD.

ENGLISH AS SHE IS SUNG. war S many American Sincere Pall to Prononne. Distinctly. From the New York Herald.l The singers looked well and acted well, but not a word that they ottered was intelligible. The programme was printed in English and the composers had spoken English in their day, but to the unadvised listener the medium through which the "artists" were striving to interpret the composers' thoughts might have been cuneiform, "tea box" or that of the society woman's afternoon re ception. Why is it that so large a proportion of American singers fail to pronounce their words distinctly? ' Let the "professor" answeri "Because they study singing in Italian. Hundreds of people in England and America, who are studying by what are known as the Italian, French and German methods, expect to make their living by singing in English. "I refer to the want of dehmte and suffi cient study of the vowel farms and oonso nantal sounds of the English language," adds the professor as he entwines his sinewy legs about each other; "to articulation, pro nunciation, etc. livery singer should study the Italian language in song, but he should first master his mother tongue. The Eng lish language in song is becoming more pop ular every day, and when mastered is as easy and beautiful as any other." "Why is the English language more -difficult of mastery in singing?" "The English language is more difficult to master than the Italian, for the reason that the natural or physical formation of the Jtajian language constantly aids and forma the singing voice. .Tlte constant study of Italian will hot make easy the correct use of the English, but makes it more diffionlt, as it has a tendenoy to broaden all vocal forma tion, and thus renders the correct formation of the close English Bounds physically im possible to those- who do not understand them, which is the easa with all who study Italian only. , . "The-abnormal condition in which! the adult voice is usually found is due to misuse r abuse, to , power misapplied,. A. .fight system then most be. a ; corrective study. When you see a ' singer get red in the face, and the veins-1 In his neck seem ready , to burst, you can rest assured that it is the re sult of power misapplied.

" . i "What is the percentage of success among Americans who study vocal music?" . - . "It is a sad fact that, a large majority of those who study vocal musio, aided by musi cal sense, ambition, application and even stern necessity, are total or comparative rail- ures. This is true not only of those who study in America, but of those who study in foreign countries. The truth is there are but few who know or understand the human voice. As a rule the voices of little children are right, or in a natural condition, while the voices of untrained adults are wrong, or in an unnatural condition. It is a great mis take to suppose that right voice culture is aa artificial process, in the sense of which the word artificial is generally accepted. No doubt much of that which is called voice culture is, for it results in affectation and mannerisms. A right system of voice train ing simply restores the voice to its first or normal condition by eliminating all defects." "I should imagine that the human voice was not easy to train." "The human voice is the most' difficult of all instruments to understand, hence it is the most difficult to correctly play upon. There is another great reason which accounts for the fact that while there are many good pianists there are so few good singers. Most parents, in the study of the pianoforte, rec ognize the importance of having their chil dren commence at an early age in order to acquire that flexible action necessary for the complete mastery of the keyboard. Years are thus spent in the study of tbe piano forte. On the other hand, for some unac countable reason, the idea prevails with the majority of people that a year or two is suf ficient to make singers, and that too after they have grown up and gone all astray, so far as the correct use of the voice is con cerned. The way to become great singers is to begin by training the child voice. The child voice is nearer right; it is more flexible, more pliable, more musical." DIFFICULTIES TO BE OVERCOME. "What are the chief difficulties you meet with in training the voice to sing English?" "The greatest difficulties to be overcome in the English singing voice are the conso nants. They should never be sustained or prolonged in song, as is often heard, but should always be spoken with a quick, flexi ble movement of the articulating organs, and without interfering with the vowel form or the sound of the word. A consonantal sound is the result of an interruption of the air current, and a sudden explosion whereby a raise is produced is called a consonantal sound." Mme. Clara Brenkerhoff says: . "The vi brations aroused by the singing voice pass through the entire form of the singer, com municating to the floor where one stands, as an electric current seeks the ground. This is an undeniable fact, for I have sung several times for deaf mutes who were standing. They expressed their pleasure at hearing me sing". When we questioned them to explain we found that they bad received the vibra tions through the soles of their feet from the vibrations conveyed by me to the floor while singing, also standing, testifying to the fact that it is the whole vibrating body which is the singing instrument, not the throat alone. The human tissue has a subtle force- and is as vibrant as a drum head." "Do people ever study musio for the pur pose of strengthening the lungs by the in creased exercise?" "Oh, yes; physicians are recommending such practice every day. A great many peo ple study for weak lungs and weak throats. The proper system of breathing is so simple and progresses in snch easy stages that it de velops the lungs to their full capacity with out the least strain, and always with a bene ficial result." . ONE WAR SERMON. A Preacher Who United Enemies In Prayer. At the bar banquet given in Chattanooga Saturday night, in honor of Judges Key and Trewhitt, Colonel Lewis Shepherd made a request, seconded by all of the gentlemen present, that Mr. Templeton of the Knox ville bar, who was present, relate an inci dent which occurred during the war at a re vival service held by his father in north Georgia. Mr. Templeton kindly consented and related the following in a.most effective and touching manner, eliciting the most gen erous applause at his conclusion: "My father," said Mr. Templeton, "resides in Chattanooga, but about the time that Sherman made his way into the South he refugeed in Georgia .and stopped in Gordon. He was a preacher, and wherever he went he always preached whenever an opportunity attoi-deu. - - - - - " "About the time Sherman was driving Johnson towards Atlanta, sometime in the early part of August, 1864, my. father was conducting a revival at a little honse called Pine Log Creek church, about ten miles from Calhoun. The times were most terri ble abont then; murder, robbery and rapine were of daily occurrence and the whole country was subject to visitations by marau ding parties from both armies. One day the old gentleman was preaching a sermon of unusual power, and before he had gotten well under way a gang of Confederate soldiers rode up, and dismounting out back of the church, asked if they might be admitted to the church. Of coarse they were cordially invi ted in and took prominent seats in the church. Not long afterward a cloud of dust was seen in the road from the opposite direction to what the rebels had some, and pretty soon the tramp of horses' hooi's was heard, and it was soon discovered that it was a Bquad of Federal troops, and before the Con federates in the church could be apprised of the approach they had ridden up to the door. Perceiving that religious services were being held, they alighted and asked to be admitted. They were then told that there were Confederate soldiers in the church, but insisted on going in, and they were admitted likewise. "Naturally the strange spectacle created some consternation in the congregation, and for a time it seemed as if the confusion would break up the meeting. But my fath er raised his voice and began most fervently to plead a better life, beseeching his soldier hearers to abandon their Bins. He preached with unusual force and power, the strange scene lending him inspiration. Strong men were stirred to -the depths and wept like children, and the scene of confusion was soon changed to one of strong religions awak ening. "When he had concluded' his sermon, as was the custom in those days, he invited these who were convicted to come forward to the mourner's bench and pray and talk with him on the all-important subject. "Then it was that one of the grandest sights ever witnessed occurred. Those sol diers, enemies to eaoh other, engaged in a bloody war, arose as one man, friend and foe together, and marched to the front of the church and kneeled together. Confede rate by Federal, their muskets joining and crossing each other, their revolvers touching each other as they kneeled, their heads bowed upon the same altar and their tears mingling almost in their deep contrition and profound feeling. All animosities were for gotten, all strife forgotten they were to gether as brothers around a common altar. "After the service they met on the out side of tbe church, they . shook hands, pledged fraternity and each party went off, taking opposite directions. They had been looking for eaoh other, perhaps with mur derous intent. They found each other, but they separated with love instead of hate. friendly instead of angry." Tne Influence of the Salaon. George F. Parsons in the January Atlantis. What would be thought of the medical administration which, in the time of a great epidemic, concerned itself chiefly in provi ding additional hospital accommodations, and paid no attention to the origin and mode of prevention of the prevailing disease? In the case of the saloon in society the facts are continually iu evidence. Our police courts are mainly occupied with the petty offenses which spring directly or indirectly from drink. , Through them drift the myriad wrecks which strew the path of progress. In them is exhibited, every day and all day, the extent, depth, paralyzing influence of the saloon. It is had enough in' politios, but its social effects, especially among the soor, ars as those of a pestilenoe. The oruder element of the community is brutalized and retarded in its growth by this influ ence. . Another element, that of the physi cally or intellectually feeble' (always con siderable and increasing with the growth of competitive pressure,) is condemned to a. wretched fate by the same instriunenallty. The people who 'have npf-Vhe-energy of mind or body to form Jear and practical purposes, w to put them in operation if formed, are the easiest victims of the saloon.- AS a rule they are sensitive, often morbidly so. They brood over their weak" ness and their failures.
