the joint was given him instantly. Miss
Kingan , 1418 Sixteenth streel , deaf 20

the magnetic touch of the greal healer.
An aged lady , with the color of death
upon her face , was fairly carried to
the stage and to the aslonismoul and
delight of Iho audience thu flush of
health was soon restored by his mag
netic touch , her pain and bulloring van
ished and she walked elf th stage de
claring she was perfectly cured. Still
more remarkable was the case of a gen
tleman who was completely paralyzed
on the right side. In live minutes under
the magnetic influence of Dr. French
ho walked off nearly cured. Then fol
lowed cases of asthma , neuralgia , epi

WALLA WALLA WIND.
Effects of the Chinook Upon AVnsh-
iiiKtun Territory.
Washington correspondent Boston Ad
vertiser : Ono of the most curious and
interesting features of the report of
Governor Semple of Washington Terri
tory to the secretary of the interior ,
just printed , is the bit of tradition and
rhetoric which ho weaves about a zephyr
through the mountains.
"This east wind , " ho says , "tho dry
ing or chilling wind , according to the
season , that blows down the Columbia
river with great force sometimes , was
called by them the Walla Walla wind ,
because it came to them from the direc
tion of the Walla Walla country. In
the winter this wind brings freezing
weather , and sometimes will close the
streams with ice. In the summer it is
a parching wind , and its approach can
bo noted for long distances as it lifts
the dust and debris high in the air. It
is an odious wind , and no one wishes it
to blow upon him. Fortunately its
reign is always short. It rarely pre
vails for more than a few hours , but
will sometimes continue for three or
four days.
"Its enemy is the Chinook wind so
called by the Indians alluded to above
because it came to them from the direc
tion of _ the country of the Chinooks.
This is a balmy wind , coming Jrom the
Kvro Si wo or great Japanese- current of
the Pacific ocean. In the summer it is
iv cool wind and tempers the heat of
summer so that nowhere in Washington
Territory do people fall down with sun
strokes. In the winter it is a warm ,
moist wind and is sometimes slightly
odoriferous , as if spice-laden from
the tropics. It is so gentle upon ordi
nary occasions that "its presence
could not bo noted by its motion , and
it is almost miraculous in its olleets.
Snow and ice disappear before it with
rapidity , and it seems to be able to blow
for long distances between walls of
colder air without parting with its heat.
Sometimes it constitutes an upper cur
rent , in which case' the remarkable
spectacle is witnessed of snow melting
from the mountain tops , while thermom
eters in the valleys register below the
free/ing point. At other times it is the
surface current , and follows the valleys
and gorges as a flood might follow them.
It seems to bear healing upon its wings ,
like Sandalphon , the Angel of Prayer ,
and it is not difficult to conceive thai the
Indians would winh to personify it in
order to 11 x upon it their devotions.
"This wind penetrates as far as the
upper stretches of the Missouri , and
oven tempers the air on the plains of
Dakota beyond the , Rocky mountains ,
wherever it goes the chains of winter
are unloosed and the ice-bound rivers
are set free. The Chinook is Iho natural
enemv of the odious east wind , and
while" , ordinarily , it wiolda its jnlluonco
as gently as the zephyrs that waft the
thistle downs in autumn , i-Ull there are
times when the two winds eiigfijjo in
giant conflicts and light for supremacy ,
now in the tipper then in the lower
strata , on the mountains and in Iho
valleys , rltornalely driving each other
back and forth , swayin the trees , toss
ing the leaves ami swirling the rain
drops or the crystals of snow as ono or
the other advances. But the combat is
never long and the victory Is always
with the Chinook. The inhabitants
east of the Cascade mountains , when
winter has sol/.ed them , and the east
wind dashes snow in their fanes , pray
for the Chinook to come. 'lyio look by
day for its moist front and listen by
night for the noise of its combat with
the east wind , and when it reaches
them thev rejoice ,
"Such is the Chinook * wind , the
blessed wind of the far norlhwubl. "
OPINION OF
Hon , Elizuf
Ihc llnilnent Insurance A cf 111117 , ( if.Muss-
iirliiiM'tt1- , upon the
Installment Bond
Issued Only by the National ,
Orn'l A r nt National Life Insurance.
Co. of Vni'iiiunl :
Dear Sir : I congratulate the iiiilillo
tlint your Company and 1 do not know
a sounder one offers a 1IVK 1NSUR-
AN'CF BOND to which no prudent man
\viio needs insurance can object. It
mcetr every contingency , combines on-
( lowini'iit with insurance , and docs not
t'ontain any possible trap. It fa good for
its face nl maturity or previous death ,
and for a precisely stipulated Mini , after
two years. This stipulation of adellnite ,
fair and equitable cash surrender vnhio ,
is what life insurance liaH generally
lacked , and the v.ant of it has disgusted ,
the public with the business , isven as
conducted by the most -olvcnt and econ
omical companies. 'J'hat a company
which ban for thirty-nine years main
tained the highest chanu-tor for econo
my , conservatism , prudence and integ
rity , and weathered every storm with
out a leak , --liould olTer Mich a bond , is
pretty good pi oof of its wifely.
'Jt will certainly bo preferred to any
other form of life insurance by any ono
who know.- , the fact that at'thirly ho
has a greater chance ofliving.toho sixty
than of dyljifj earlier ; at forty a greater
chance of living to bo sixty-live than of
dying ; earlier : and at Ilfty more than an
even chance of living to lie seventy.
How much better , then , to have a bond
payable to oneself at an ago when ho is
more likely to bo dependent than to
have others dependent on him , and on
which payments may cease at any time
without loss , limn to ha\e a policy on
which nothing can bo received'till
death , or at the arbitrary discretion , or
.want of discretion of the company ?
Providing ; in the contract only for ll'io
contingency of death , and leaving
wholly unprovided for aa equally im-
poi taut contingency , that of thing be
yond the iiiMirablo interest , him proved
a Had Hap to thousands , and the Nation-
ill Life Insurance Company of Vermont ,
in Issuing this admirable bond , which is
wholly free from any such trap , has.
liinim the grandest step in fair dealing1
within the history of life insurance.
This bond , becoming after two years
a really negotiable security , will 'be of
grt'Hl use to one who rushes to own in-
Mead of renting a home , for it will facil
itate procuring a long loan by which
that object can bo etTecli-d. And it will
never be a piece of property of indeter
minate value , a1 ! is ttie case with nearly
all life insurance policies heretofore
issued.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Jan. 22. To the Edi
tor of the HUM : I notice in the Bui : the
statement that a bill to pension Ilottio
1C. Painter has been reported in the sen
ate. Airs. Painter was formerly of Phil
adelphia but now resides in Lincoln. I
was personally acquainted with the lady
during1 the war.
Her medical skill wa1 * of infinite ad
vantage to the boys. To my knowledge
she has saved many lives by her timely
skill and gentle , rare I cannot speak in
too high terms of her for her attention
to myself when a great sufferer , and I
can speak for hundreds who uero under
her unceasing care and motherly kind
ness with mySolf. 1 owe my life to her.
She had a commission from the gover
nors of Pennsylvania and New Jersey ,
and a pass from General U. S. Grant to
and from armies operating againsl Rich
mond. 1 see she is bpokon of as simply
a volunteer nurse. There was nota sur
geon who did greater service for the
cause than did Mrs. Dr. II. K. Painter
from the lirst battle of Hull Itun to the
closing of the hospitals in Washington.
I was twice under nor care and can speak
from a knowledge of her ability. Where
are her boys to rally to the hont now
and do their utmost to get a proper
acknowledgment from the government
for her services ? She gave her time.
means and strength to the cause , and I
feel it my duty to show at least this
small appreciation of her services.

An English correspondent uivcs as a
reason for possibility that the English
language will become the "world-
speeoh" the mental slowness of the
Anglo-Saxon race in learning two
languages. They traverse the globe
unaffected and undismayed by its ec
centricities of speech. The English-
speaking countries have an area of more
limn one-fifth of the whole habitable
globe. English is the language of the
high seas , and is spoken in every mari-
tinio port.
