LOVE IN THE JAIL. T * Tlio Heroic Sacrifice of a Burglar to a Murderess. I-V Even in the dreary jail the flower of love can thrive , and move the lover tc deeds that might adorn a mediaeval romance. There is not ordinarily very much romance in the affairs of the heart between the inmates of the iron cells , but when a negro burglar finds his affinity in a negro murderess it is natural that there should be episodes of a sanguinary tinge. William Lacey was sentenced a few days ago to three months in the penitentiary for breaking into the tailor shop of I. Brocksecck , near Fifteenth and Market , with Ike Cavil. To-day he goes to the peniten tiary to begin his term. Long had he 'loved the sombre Sadie Hays , long be fore she had stained her hands with the blood of SergL Jenks , and he loved her notwithstanding the fact that Sadie had three husbands alive , all of whom gave evidence of her powers of argument in the shape of lumps on their heads and razor slashes on their bodies. When he was arrested letters from her to him were found on his person , telling of un dying love in villainous chirography and worse orthography. Cast into jail , the tender passion grew and grew. The two made life bearable by writing letters to each other. Until a few days ago til's ' little amour was not suspected , and then the messenger took a tender missive from Sadie and gave it to tho wrong young man. When Sadie was near the gallows Lacey was more excit ed than she was , and when the supremo court granted her a rehearing he was jubilant. As his day of departure for the penitentiary approached he grew to think he must leave her be- floomy ind , and some days ago when they met he said : "Sadie , I'se going to the pen an' I nevah will see you no mo1. " Then Sadie , with tears in her eyes , said : "Willyum , yo sez yo loves me. Ef yo does fo shuah , leave me yo ring antfiingah when youse gone. " William said he would most assuredly. Yester day afternoon a prisoner named John son passing the cell in which Lacey was locked up , was handed a little pack age and a note to give to Sadie Hayes. He passed them into Sadie's cell as he passed , and in a sec ond afterward a piercing cry rang through the jail. The guards ran to the cell and found Sadie in a dead faint , and on the lloor of the cell there was found , in a piece of paper , a linger. An investigation was made and a visit was paid to Lacy's cell , where he was found with his hand bandaged up in a blood } ' rasr , pouring over a letter , which was found upon perusal to have come from the murderess. He had cut off two joints of the little finger of his right hand and sent the member to his sweet heart as she had requested. He , had tied a string between the knuckle and the first joint , and then hacked his finger off with one of the knives prison ers make out of shoe-shanks. He was smiling , and when asked why he had mutilated himself , said : "Because I loved her. She asked me for my ring and finger , and I said I'd give them to her and I did. I've been loving her this lon < r time. Anybody would do that , I guess , if he loved her. " When asked what he had written to Sadie , he said : "I just told her that I was going to a solitary prison , and I might never see her no more. I was going to do what she wished , and I sent her the ring and the finger , and hoped that when she'd be lying cold in her collin she'd take that alongside of her. " , . The letter he had in his hand from ' Sadie was a wild declaration of love , I containing allusions to the fact that she had given"him something to remember her bv , and she wanted something from him s"o that she would never forget him. She addressed him "My Dear Little One , " and signed herself "Your Own True Girl. " "Sadie said that she had torn up the letter she had received and remarked : "I couldn't read it When I got dat fingah I drapped everything ; 'deed I did. I jes' said I wanted de fingah intv joke like , an' I nevah thought he s gwine to do it , defool. " Dr.Outley patched up Laccy's finger and he went back to his cell feeling that he had done a great deed all for love. His partner , Cavil , who goes to the penitentiary with him , stood by while Lacey cut the finger off , and when asked whv he didn't interfere , said : "Twaan't my"funerl. .

A fox who was passing through the Forest one day heard a great Dispute among the Hares , and he turned Aside to find several of them Engaged iu Hard Knocks around a Burrow. "What's all this Row about ? " de manded Reynard as he fell Among them. , . "Why , sir , " replied one of the Hares , "Our Father is Dead and we can't agree as to who shall Possess his Burrow/ ' -But it is large enough for all of y ° "So it is , but that settles a Question of Fact instead of Principle.

A Wonderful Clock. I A ock manufacturing firm in Calcutta , India , have lately completed a very in genious time-piece in the ehupe ol an eight- clay clock , which strikes the Lours on a large , full-toned gong and chimes the quar ters on eight bells. In connection with the clock there is a perpetual calendar which gives the correct dnya of all the various months , including the twenty-nine days of February in the leap year. There is also a military procession worked by the clock , representing various branches of the British army , consisting of artillery , cavalry and infantry , nnd the staff in re view order. There is also a sentry on duty who salutes a drummer , who beats the drum , and bugler who raisea his bugle to his mouth every few minutes. All of these figures arc arranged at the top of the dial. There is also a musical instrument , which plays while tho procession ia marching in review. Near the bottom of the clock la placed a military band which is concealed by a cur tain , and which is raised every hour when the music is playing and tho procession moving , and falls again immediately after the clock lias struck , and remains drawn until the next hour. The case , made of cbonized mahogany , is about six feet high , three feet six inches wide , and two feet six inches deep , highly ornamented with brass trimmings. The circles on the dial to show minutes , hours , days of the month , etc. , are engraved and silvered. The center and sides of the dial are richly enameled. At the sides of tho cuee are massive brass ornamental handles and ornamental fretwork. Many sink into an early grave by not giving immediate attention to a slight couch , which could have been stopped in time by a 25-cent bottle of Dr.BuH'sCough Syrup. Pack tbe LungH With Air. Deep breathing and holding of the breath is an item of importance. Persons of weak vitality find an uninterrupted succession of deep and rapid respiration BO distressing that they are discouraged from persevering in the exercise. Let such persona take into the lungs as much air as they can at a breath nnd bold it as long as they can , and they will find a grateful sense of relief in the whole abdominal region. Practice will in crease ability to hold the breath and tho capacity of the lungs. After a. time the art niay be learned of packing the lungs. This is done by taking and holding the long breath and then forcing more air down the traclia ) by swallows of air. The operation may be described by that of a fish's mouth in water. To those who have never learned it will be surprising to what extent tbe lungs may be packed. Caution at first is needful , but later practice will warrant large use of the treatment. The whole thoracic and abdominal cavities will re ceive immediate benefit , and continuance and temperance in eating , good air and right exercise , will bring welcome improve ment. [ Herald of Health. Tennyson's "May Queen. " Who knows but if the beautiful girl who died so young bad been blessed with Dr. Picrce's "Favorite Prescription" she might have reigned on many another bright May day.

It Should be Generally Known flint the multitude of diseasesof _ a scroful ous nature generally proceed from a torpid condition of the liver. The blood becomes impure because the liverdoes not act prop erly and work off the poison from the sys tem , and the certain results are blotches , pimples , eruptions , swellings , tumors , ulcers , and kindred affections , or settling upon the lungs and poisoning their delicate tissues , until ulceration , breaking down , and consumption is established.

Hood's S ; No disease Is so generally distributed among our population as Scrofula. It Is liable at any time , on the ( lightest provocation , to develop itself in some unexpected form. Consumption and many other diseases arc outgrowths of this Impurity. No reme dy has been so successful as Hood's Sariaparllla la thoroughly cleanilng the blood and eradicating every form ef Scrofula from the human zystem. Bead the following : "I Uko great pleasure In telling what Hood's Sarsapariila has done for my little boy. Six months ago ulcers began to come on his right ere. caused by scrofulous humor in the blood. .After a time he could not open his eye at all : the humor crew worse- and his face became sore. Then his left eye began to be affected , and I thought he would be entirely blind. I bought a bottle of Hood's SarsaparUla just Remember , we do not claim that Hood's Sarsapa- rilla will do impossibilities.

"My wife had rery poor health Ifor a long time , suffering from indigestion , poor appetite , and con stant headache.

'What was my surprise , before the bottle was all gone , his face had all healed up , and he could open his eye Just a little bit. something he hod not done for four months. He continued to take It , and I am happy to say can now see as well as ever. He has left off the shade which he wore over his eyes so long. I feel that if It had not been for Hood's Sar- saparilla my child would have been blind. I cannot find werds to praise It enough.

By our original system of diagnosis , we can treat many chronic diseases just as successfully without as with a personal con sultation. While we are always glad to sec our patients , and become acquainted with them , show them our institutions , and familiarize them with our system of treatment , yet we have not seen one person in five hundred whom we have cured. The per fect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the mo t minute particulars in their several departments , appears almost miraculous , if we view it in the light of the early ages. Take , for example , the electro-magnetic telegraph , the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in a sub marine cable nearly three thousand miles long ? Our venerable " clerk of the weather " has become so thoroughly familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict their movements. He can sit in "Washington and foretell what the weather will be in Florida or New York as well as if several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the places named. And so in all departments of modern science , . CTP. . what is required is the knowledge of certain n . siijns. From these scientists deduce accurate con- hlGHS OF elusions regardless of distance. So , also , in mcdi- wiunw wi caj 6cjcneet diseases have certain unmistakable DiSE&SE. signs , or symptoms , and by reason of this fact , we . have been enabled to originate and perfect a sys tem of determining , with the greatest accuracy , trio Tin turn of chronic diseases , without seeing and personally It is a well-known fact , and one that appeals to the judgment of every thinking person , that the physician who devotes his whole time to the study and investigation of a certain class of diseases , must become better qualified to treat such diseases than he who attempts to treat every ill to which llcsh is heir , without giving special attention to any class of diseases. Men. in all ages of the world , who have become famous , have devoted their lives to some special branch of science , art , or literature. Recognizing the fact that no great institu L THHOAT tion dedicated exclusively to the treatment , of chronic diseases , would meet the needs of AHD the aillicted of our land , without the most perfect , complete and extensive provision for LUNG DISEASES. the most improved treatment of diseases . of the air-passages and lungs , such as Chronic Nasal Catarrh , iinryng- itis , Bronchitis , Asthma , and Consumption , we have made this branch of our institution one of the leading Depart ments. We have every kind of useful instrument for examining the organs involved , such as rhinoscopcs , laryngoscopes , stetho scopes , spirometers , etc. , etc. , as well us all of the most approved kinds of apparatus for the application of sprays , fumigations , atomizations , pulverizations , inhalations , and all other forms of approved medicinal applications. \Ve publish three separate boois on Nasal , Throat and Lung diseases , viz. : A Treatise on Con ; inption , Laryngitis and Bron chitis ; price , postpaid , ten cents : A treatise on Asthma , or Phthisic , giving new and successful treatment ; price , postpaid , ten cents ; A treatise on Chronic Nasal Catarrh , price , postpaid , two cents.

HT'S B1SEASE , DIABETES , and KIDNEY kindred maladies , have been very largely treated , and cures effected in thousands of cases which had been pronounced beyond hope. The study and DISEASES. practice of chemical analysis and microscopical examination of the urine in our consideration of discs , with reference to correct diagnosis , in which our institution long ago became famous , lias naturally led to a very extensive practice in diseases of the urinary organs. Our specialists have acquired , through a vast and varied experi ence , great expertncss in determining the tract nature of each case , and , hence , have been successful in nicely adapting their remedies for the cure of each individual cose. The treatment of diseases of the urinary organs having consti tuted a prominent branch , or specialty , of our practice at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute , and , being in constant re ceipt of numerous inquiries for a complete but concise work on the nature and curability of these maladies , we have published a large illustrated treatise on these diseases , which will be sent to any address on receipt of ten cents in postage stamps. a , INFIjAITinZATEON OF THE KtVDBci , Gravel , Enlarged Pros BLADDER tate Gland , Kcteiitton of Urine , and kindred affections may be included among those DISE&SES. in the cure of which our specialists have achieved . marvelous success.

We obtain our knowledge of the patient's disease by the practical application , to the practice of medi cine , of well-established principles of modern science. And it is to the accuracy with which this system has endowed us that we owe our almost world-wide reputation of skillfully treating- lingering or chronic affections. This system of practice , and the marvelous success which has been attained through it , demonstrate the fact that diseases display certain phenomena , which , beingsub jected to scientific analysis , furnish abundant and unmistakable data , to guide the judgment of the skillful practitioner aright in determining the nature of diseased conditions.

To those acquaintedwith our institutions it is hardly necessary to say that the Invalids' Hotel and , . . , rSergio11 Institute , with the branch establishment located at No. 3 New Oxford Street , London , England have for many years , enjoyed the distinction of being the most largely patronized and widely celebrated institutions in the world for the treatment and cure of those affections which arise from youthful indiscretions and pernicious , solitarv practices. We , many years agp , established a special Department for the treatment of these diseases , under the management of some of the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff , in order that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a full Council of the most experienced medical men. We flcrCR ° offer no apology for devoting so much atten- IIC Urrcn tion to this neglected class of diseases , believing- n floniflPV no , condition of humanity is too wretched to merit HU MrULUuI. the sympathy and best services of the noble pro fession to which we belong. Many who suffer from these terrible diseases contract them innocently. Why any medical man intent on doing good , and alleviating suffering , should shun such cases , we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise than most honorable to cure the worst cafes of these diseases , we cannot understand ; and yet of all the other maladies which afflict mankind there are probably none about which physicians in gen eral practice know so little. We fully agree with the celebrated Dr , Bartholow , who says. "I think it a reproach to our profession that this subject has been permitted , in a measure by our own indifference , to pass into tbe hands of unscrupulous pretenders. Because the subject is disa greeable , competent physicians are loath to be concerned with it. The same unnecessary fastidiousness causes the treatment of this malady to be avoided in private practice. " We shall , therefore , continue , as heretofore , to treat with our best consideration , sympathy , and skill , all applicants who are suf fering from any of these delicate diseases. Our Complete and Illustrated Treatise on these subjects is sent to any address on receipt of ten cents in stamps. AMi CHRONIC DISK AS ES A SPECIALTY.
