A Hunter's Scot: )9:nt Search for a Per- lahlnz Woman. On a recent \Veduosday, at lo a. m., Mrs. Ruger, who, with her husband and two children, lives near the summit of Mount Day, the highest pink which lies to the north of Mount Hamilton, left her home in search of her cows, which were but a short dlstanoe'nway. It was a cold, freezing dav, raining and snowing alternately. The wo- man was slightly near-sighted and the stormy weather assisted in confusing her, and she became bewildered, and insteal of going home. as she thought, she took the opposite direction and soon «as hopelessly lost.

But there was one man in that crowdâ€"an old mountaineerâ€"Arm determined not to quit thesburch while a ray ofhopo remained of finding her alive, and he was successful. About 3p m. of the second day of search three of Al guns were heard proclaiming the gin tidings that the lost was found. The man is J. R.

So unusual were the circumstances connecth With it, and so much comment did it occasion on the street and social circles, thntareprcscnta- tch ofthia Paper welcommissiwdm ind-rue English Press From an American vrstigate its details and verify its facts. The 3 article referred to was a statement made by : Mr. B. F. Lari-oboe, formerly of London but now of the NewYork and Bostonlhs- tch Express company, whose office is on Arch street. Mr. Larrnbee. was found by the newspaper man in his private office, and on bcin'v questioned said: “ We'll, sir, logically I have been dead, but really I am as you see me. A little over a year 3,;0 Iwas taken sick. My trouble was not severe at first and I thought it was the result of a. slight cold. Somehow I felt unuccounlnbly tired at time ~, although I took an abundance of sleep. ' dull and strange pains in various parts i f my body. My appetite was good one day and I had none whatever the next a nd myhead nine-l me more or lc-s much of the time. A while afterward i noticed much that was pecul or about the fluids I was passing and that a sediment, scam and a strange ac- cumulation appeared in it. Still I did not realize that these things meant anything serious and I allowed the illness to run along until on the 28th day of October I fell prcsv trute while walking along Tremont steer. I was carried homo and constantly at- tended by my regular physician, but in spite of his skill I kept growing worse and finu'lly they tapped my side in the vicmity_ of the heart taking away forty-six ounces of water. This relieved me for the time, but I soon be: came as lian asbcfore. Then the doctors gave me up entirely, declared I could not live more than twenty-four hours and my daugh- ter, who was residing in Paris, was tolc- graphed for. Still 1 lingered along for several weeks. far more (lead than alive, but never giving up hope. Onc night~it was on the 20th of April, I very wcll_re- membcrâ€"my attendant, who was reading the paper to me, began an article winch described my disease and sufferings c‘xacfly. It told how some severe cases of Lriglits disease had been cured, and so clearly and sensibly did it state the case that ‘ I determined to try the means of cure which it described. So I sent my man to the drug store, procured a. bottle of the mediums un- known to my physicians and friends, and took the first dose at 10 o’clock. At that time I was sufferinginteusely. I could not sleep; I had the short breaths and could scarcely get any air into my lungs. I was terribly bloated from head to foot, and the motion of my heart \tns irregular and pam- ful. The next morning I was able to breathe freely ; the pain began to leave me dud the bloating decreased. [continued to take the medicine, and to-dny, sir, I am as well as I ever was in my life, and wholly owing to the wonderful, almost miraculous power of \Vsrner's Safe Cure. I do not know what this medicine is made of, or any- thing else about it, but I know it saved my life when I was riven up by the doctorsTnnrl had really been cadfor weeks 3 that it has kept me in perfect licnlth‘ever Since and has cured many of my friends to whom I have recommended it. My recovery is so re- markable that it has excited much attention, and physicians as Well as others have inves- tigated it thoroughly. I am glad they have, for I feel that the results of such a wonder- ful cure should be knowu to tho many thou- sands in all parts of the land who are suffering from-troubles of the kidneys, liver. or heart, in some of their many dangerous forms."

"l‘lie scribe replied that ho was, whereupon the gentleman said : " And so am I, and Ihave come all the way from Toronto for that very pur osc. Kidney troubles seem to be alarming y increasing -lll over the country. and I have a. very near relative who is afflicted much as Mr. Lar- rnboc was. I have been to see the physicians of whom Mr. Lari-shoe speaks, and I tell you, air, it is simply wonderful." . “ What did they say ?” asked the man of news. " Say? \be, air, they fully confirm every- thing Mr. Lsrrubeo has stated. I called at the Commonwealth hotel where Mr. Lar- rsbce was living at the time of his sickness. Messrs Brugh ck. Carter are the proprietors, and I asked them about Mr. Larrnbee’s case. Mr. Bruin pointed to the electric annnn- ciator and said. “ Why for weeks and weeks every time that bell rang I said, ‘ That insane the death of Mr. Lurrubce.’ No one around the hotel ever dreamed that he would recover, and when the doctors would come down from his room they would. i shake their heads and say there was no hope. The arrangements for the funeral were made and his recovery was simply a miracle.“ “I then called (in Dr. Johnson who said that Mr. Larrnbce's case was a very rc- marknblo one. He was his family physician and expected his death every hour for a number of weeks and never called to see. him during that time but he was prepared for it. The doctor said the recovery was duo to \Varnor'a Safe Cure, and if he had friends, male or female, troubled with Al- bumcn or any kidney troubles he would certainly advise them to use this remedy. Dr. Johnson said kidney difficulties are more common than most people think and that many symptoms which arc supposed to be other diseases arise from the kidneys. He said that ladies after gestation are specially subject m albuminous troubles which require prompt attention. ""I nut went to are Dr. Melville 1-1. “'cbb, at the Hotel Cluny, for you see I was de- termined tobc thorough in the matter. I found Dr. “’ebb a most clear-beaded and well-informed gentleman, and he said : “ I know of Mr. Larrnbce's case from hav- ing thoroughly investigated it as a medical director of a Life Insurance company. and it is one of the most remarkable cases I have ever met. Mr. lanaer had all the mani- festations of a complication of diseases, and in their worst forms. I subjected him to the most thorough examination possible, after his recovery, and ‘l can‘t find out about him.’ Ills kidneys, liver, lungs and heart are perfectly Well and sound. I can only add that, from what! have seen, I would nahuitatingly recommend this remedy." The conclusions from the statements above made which come to the per man as well as the general public, mun be two-fold. First, that a modern miracle of healing hasbeen performed in our midst, and that, too, b thcsimpleot of mbans and one which is \ri ' the reach of every one. It should be renumbered that Bright's disease is not usually a sudden complaint. Its ‘ ' are slight and its growth slow.

The fact I'llltulifm in the wchr. lar “languid he hadno ideaof the terrible onytwooftbabnllets ‘ complaint which Materialism: until it undeven these were eompl testi- all stuck to the lining. became fixed upon him. Secondly, liih interests and prejudices, is very little known. I have lived in England since the more than Uliincsc wall of prejudice against foreigners was broached by the Crimean war, and see with satisfaction a great change in English ideas with reference to “outlandish” people: but at this day the broad hospitality of American journal- ism to the outsider, and its grcat fairness of appreciation of foreign matters, is so imper- fectly comprehended by the English press that they take if: for our satisfaction at. being noticed by foreigners (especially Englishmen), or the desire to concilinte them. Now, as cleanliness does come after godli- neso, though it is next to it, so good mun~ ncrs in the press do come after justice ; and the English press, with all its abilityand de- corum, is as inferior to the American in the major virtues as ours to that in the minor virtues of decorum and scholarship. If Am- erican journals defend corrupt practices, English journals hide and ignore them, and the magnitude and venerable character of the ubuse's in nowiso change the character of the defense. Truth is the only conspicuous print in England that does * attack certain I abuses which how no kind of parallel in America. for journals to attack or defend, and Truth is an acknowledged corsair. It is true that no English j ournul now would defend suchn corrupt system as our civil service, as certain’ American journals do, but the vice of English journalism is simply more decorousâ€"it ignoresâ€"London fir/(er to New York Evening Post. ______.._.44.¢_.___â€"â€"â€"â€"4 Gnmbettn‘s EYE. .

This happened on St. Silvestcr'n Day, and to avoid keeping the supposed corpse in tho house three days (for one Saturday preceding a. fcstival no body can be buried), it was decided to lay him in the ground that very night after vcspors, and arrangements was made accordingly.
