A CaH on the Ftunily ofHeut. Orcely.
A pleasant call on Lieut. Greely nnd
family at the house of a relative has be-
ffuiled the darkness of au autumn storm
The gentleman , so famous , was sitting
as restfully at a window overlooking
Summer street as if his eyes had never
been darkened by the polar nicht. : Mrs
Greely , the "Henrietta' " for whom the
explorer named his new glacier in Grin-
nell Land , is a lady of tall and graceful
mien , with black eyes and raven hair.
Her voice is musical and low , as is that
of her husband when ho discourses in
an informal way on the scenes of tlio
high latitudes. Their little girls , An
toinette and Adola , adorn this home
picture of the reunited family. His ex
planation of the spiral motion of the
"midnight sun" solved a problem that
3.3 imagination could not * picture , nor the
artist hand of Bradford trace , in his
paintings of polar regions. Jn speak
ing of the colors that adorn the long
day , ho described the appearance ol
the glacier and the snowlields , when in
Nature's rarest moments she strcwj
them with colors of every gem and
jewel. Sometimes the snow scenes are
lit by "diamond dust" when the air
seems filled with powdered gold , lit by
rainbows. The grandest effects of the
aurora borealis oolong to the more
southern regions of the arctic lands.
fe * Not always can these brilliant lights
cheer the forlorn band , but Fancy will
often picture a shrine where Nature
lights the cyrstal day and the slowly
varying seasons with these strong hues.
The -midnight sun will seem to light the
transparent polar day , moving along
above the horizon line , mounting
slowly with spiral motion , higher and
higher to the zenith of the polar
.day. In the same strange procession
wo shall see , aided by the enraptured
imagination , the march of the stars , not
rising a'nd setting as from our own skies ,
but circling around the northern hea
vens , mounting slowly through the lin
gering hours , till they reach the noon of
the polar night.
Silence , eternal silence reigns alone
In cold , cold splendor on that solemn shore !
No chanting bil'ows break with sounding roar ,
No windi in wild ceolian measures moan
To wake the echoes of that.frozcn zone.
The phantom birds that haunt the sunless day
Wave their white wings , and songless fly
away ,
Awed by the splendor of that shining throne
Where iar-off seas unknown breath not their
undertone.

Mr. M. Shoffner , Postmaster and
Justice of the Pence , Company Shops ,
Alaraance Co. , N. C. , writes he has
used St Jacobs Oil for rheumatism ,
cuts , swelled ankles and knees , pains in
the back and sore throat. One or two
applications in each case has always
cured , and he believes the great German
Remedy is the best in the world. "As
long as I can get it , " he adds , "I never
intend to be without it. "
Women and Flowers.
Boston Traveller.
Nearly all women love flowers , and
there is something so delicate , so much
unsaid yet suggested in flowers that the
* simple gift of one is always appreciated
by a woman not to speak of the differ
ent sentiments that are associated with
different kinds of flowers. It is very
interesting to note how differently people
ple regard flowers. Why , I can tell
almost the moment a woman enters
whether she is fond of them. "Women
who love flowers always have sweet
faces , soft ways and gentle dispositions.
One of that kind rarely asks for the
fashionable flower because it is fashion
able. She loves flowers for their own
sake , and consequently she is almost
sure to call for her favorites , whether
in fashion or not. The woman who
cares for flowers simply because they
are fashionable is generally one of the
cold , haughty , airy kind. She will look
around critically , seize some flower and
pull it out of a bunch , sometimes break
ing off a leaf or catching one of its
thorns * in another rose , tearing the
petals. * That's the differences you see.
The other lady handles them with a
Ifc-A gentle caressing touch almost as if they
were human.
I Had a Dreadfal Congh ,
and raised a considerable amount of
blood and matter ; besides , I was very
thin , and so weak I could scarcely go
about the house. This was the case of
a man with consumption arising from
liver complaint. , He recovered his
Eft i health completely by the use of Dr.
& Piercc's "Goldeu Medical Discovery. "
Thousands of others bear similar testi-
nfony.

WHAT STEDCK HIM1
Tlio lW > - tory ofa Deadly Attack Solved ,
by a Newspaper Paragraph *
Boston Herald.
"How * are Americans liked in
Enland ? "
And Mr. B. F. Larrabec , of 42 Ches
ter square , ox-director of the New York
& Boston Despatch Express Company ,
who has recently returned from , a con
siderable residence in London.answered :
"If they have geed recommendations
and behave themselves they are wol
treated , but they will , Jiko the English
people , any way , when acquaintance
ripens into confidence. "
"How do the English compare with
Americana ? "
"The finest looking men in the world
can be seen on pleasant days of the
London season , promenadingPiccadilly.
The English ladies , however , are neith
er so neat in appearance nor so grace
ful of form and movement as the Amer-
cans , but they seem to enjoy more ro
bust health. "
"Are English people longer lived than
our people ? "
"I don't know. I have not fully in
vestigated. But I remember once hear
ing read a newspaper paragraph en
titled 'Why do Englishmen Live Longer
than Americans1 That paragraph , by
the way , orioe solved a great mystery
for me. "
"Ah , indeed , another 'tribute to the
power of the press1 ? " suggested the re
porter.
. "Yes , if you so please to call it. In
1879 , when" ! was residing at the Com
monwealth hotel , in this city , I had oc
casion to do some business in Washing
ton street. When I got to the corner oJ
Franklin , I seemed to feel a blow in the
breast and foil to the pavement like a
dead man. When I recovered con
sciousness I was taken to my hotel. I
first thought perhaps some enemy had
struck me , but my physicians assured
me that such could not be the case and
advised strictest quiet. For six long
weeks I was unable to lie down. I was
violently ill , and my physicians said I
would probably never walk the streets
of Boston again. I did not want to die ,
but who can expect to live when all
doctors say he cannot ? " And Mr. Lar-
rabe smiled , sarcastically , and express
ed himself very freely concerning the
number of common disorders which
are controlled by remedies which physi
cians will not employ.
"But how about that paragraph ? "
" .Yes , yes. When I was obliged to
sit up in bed day and night for fear of
suffocation , and hourly expected death ,
my nurse begged the privilege of read
ing that paragraph to me. I refused
him at first but he persisted. It des
cribed my condition so exactly , thatfor
the first time I began to realize what
had prostrated me. I was filled with a
strange hope. I at once dismissed my
physicians and immediately began
Warner's safe cure. In a few months
I was restored to perfect health , not
withstanding mine was one of the worst
possible cases of briglit's disease of the
kidneys , which all my physicians and
I had the best specialists in Boston ,
said was incurable. I tell you , when a
man gets into the desperate condition I
was in , he doesn't forget what rescues
him. "
"But'were the effects permanent ? "
"That was five years ago , " said Mr.
Larrabee , "and for thirty years 1 have
not been so well as during the past live
years. If I had known what I do now ,
I would have checked the matter long
ago , for it was in my system for years ,
revealing itself in my blood , by frequent
attacks of chills , jaundice , vertigo ,
typhoid fever , nervousness , wakeful
nights , etc. , etc. I took over forty bottles
tles beforelgot up , and over one hundred
and fifty before I was well. I have com
mended that treatment in thousands of
cases of general debility , kidney and
liver disorders , etc. , and have never
heard ill concerning it. I bank on it. "
"Speaking of paragraphs , how do
English papers compare with American ,
in this particular ? "
"Well , they have fewer witty para
graphs , but the smaller papers , like the
Pall Mall Gazette , St. James Gazette ,
and Truth , abound in sharp , incisive
paragraphs without wit. In general ,
American papers make the most of
news , the London papers make the
most of oninfnn "
