Illiteracy.
"Will the editor please state the com-
parative illiteracy of the white people
north and south? Statistics at largo
would seem to do injustice to the south,
from the fact that negroes and whites
ars taken together at the south, whereas
at the north this of course is not the
case. Is the education of the masses at
the north far superior to that of the
white masses at the south?"
"WM. Sanbuun.
uvWarren sburg, Mo."
wV the census of 1880 there were
lirlfie United States 30,701,601 persons
ten years of age and over, of whom
4,023.451 could riot read and 0,230,1)58
could not write, or about 13 per cent,
who could not read, and about 17 per
cent, who could not write. Of this ag-
gregate above the age of ten, 32,160,384
were white and 3,001,207 were negroes.
Of the whites 89.4 per cent, could read
and write and of the negroes .30 per
cent, could read and write. The illit-
eracy of the negroes is not contined to
any section though it is greater, of
councr, tn the late slave states. The
relative Illiteracy in the several states
of whites and blacks is thus shown:

It will be observed that the illiteracy
is considerably greater in the Southern
states. The explanations offered for
this is that their public school bystems
are of more recent origin and their
school funds inconsiderable on this ac
count and on account of the great losses
during the war and the years of bad and
wasteful government afterwards. There
is, too, a considereble population in the
lnouutalnous districts of the old slave
states which has never taken kindly to
the schools,—St. Louis Republican.
Few things give more pain than dread
or apprehension. Most people are able
to face apparent danger heroically, but
the sudden and unexpected coming of
some Indefinite calamity very naturally
strikes terror to even the bravest. For
this reasou lightning and tornadoes are
considered terrible; their coming and
going are so sudden, unannounced and
unknown. For this same reason an un-
known disease, some poison in the blood,
some malady that is gradually under-
mining the life, is specially dreaded by
All thinking people. Ana, indeed, there
are good reason for such dread, for mod-
ern science has discovered that some
virulent disorders show the least signs
in their beginnings, while thev have the
worst possible symptoms. We know of
many persons who have dull and uncer-
tain'pains in various portions of the
body; who are unnaturally tired one day
and apparently well the next; who have
an enormous appetite at times and a
loathing of ioou soon thereafter. Such
persons are really in a dangerous condi-
tion, even though they may not realize it.
The following statement of a most
prominent physician, who has had un
usual opportunities for investigation is
of so striking and important a nature
that it will be read with interest by all:
Ingeraoll's Eloquence Katched by a
Catholic Priest.
Philadelphia Record: No one who
has eves, neard Ingersoll lecture will
deny that he is a rare orator. His word-
painting Is wonderful, his eloquence
entrancing. Thus far in the crusade
against Christianity this skeptic hns ap-
peared In the eyes of his followers a
giant against pigmies. He has encoun-
tered an adversary, however, seemingly
in every way his equal, even in his own
peculiarities of rhetoric, to judge from
the following extract from a sermon de-
livered on last Sunday, on the occasion
of the dedication of the Church of the
Annunciation at Kansas City, Mo., b
Rev. Father David S. Phelan, wel
known as the editor of the Western
Watchman. Having asserted that the
"idea of the soul and the faith in its im-
mertality must have come down from
above, as earth could not have taught
It, not death have inspired," the reve-
rend father said:
"If there is no hereafter, then life is
one long debauch, and the highest edu-
cation Is to know how to find and how
best to enjoy pleasure. If there is no
hereafter, virtue is a deceit and heroism
is a lie. See that yonng man bleeding
from a hundred wounds! He died in
defense of a sister's honor. If there is
no hereafter, that noblest of deeds will
ao forever unrewarded. See that young
sister in the hospital bending over the
victim Of the plague ; to-morrow she
will succumb—a rapid ride and a hasty
sepulchre will reward her devotion. If
there is no hereafter, her charity met a
sorry requital. See that man holding
an affrighted child at the window of a
burning building. He holds it long
enough for a sturdy companion to grasp
it from below, and then falls Dack
Into his ftery tomb. If there is no here-
after such sacrifices is heartless and un-
tneafilng cruelty. See that troop of sol-
nlers marching d.v to the beating of the
drum. Their country has called, and
they 0t> to defend her honor on the bat-
tlefield. " They follow that flag into the
thick ef the fight, and when the bugle
■oonds the retreat few return from the
carnage. Those brave soldiers died
with their faces to the foe. and a smile
was stamped on their features in death,
their heroism was suicide and their
courage a mockery of fate. Early life is
closed In death; the grave terminates all
consort and association with things of
time: bat, wafted above their bier, the
wreck, the tomb, floats the sweet voice
of God, saying: "I am the life."
It IS estimated that over $106,000,000
were Tgiven for benevolent and re-
ligious purposes by the different denom-
inations In this country last year.

Mkssrs. Editors:—1 have, during my
professional career of many years' prac-
tice, treated a large number of various
disorders, of whicn, perhaps, none have
given me more trouble than the mys-
terious disease known as acute nephritis;
and while it may seem strange, it is,
nevertheless, true, that the physician Is
generally greatly annoyed bv this mys-
terious trouble, especially when the case
is of hereditary origin. It Is, doubtless,
the first stage of the well-known, but
terrible Bright's disease, as the kidneys
contain large quantities of albumen; and
while children and young people are es-
pecially liable to its attacks, it is prev-
alent with all classes and usnally con-
tinues until late in life.
One obstinate case which came under
my observation, was that of a fireman
of this city who applied to me for treat-
ment. The case was diagnosed paren-
chymatous nephritis. The man was
twenty-four years of age; plethoric and
light complected. He stated that he
had suftered from urinary troubles from
childhood, and that he hall "doctored"
a hundred times, each time improving
some : after which, in a short while, he
would relapse into his former state of
misery. I prescribed the usual thera-
peutics known to the profession with
the same result that my colleagues had
obtained. He gi>t better for a while and
then worse again ; in fact, so bad that
he had to lay off for some time. He
Suffered intense pain; so much so that
I confess I had to resort to hypodermic
injections of morphia. My druggist
who knew how disguoted I was with
the case, although not willing to desert
the man, advised me to try a remedy
from which he (the druggist) himself
had derived great benefit. As a drown-
ing man catches at a straw, I prescribed
this remedy, not letting my patient,
however, know what I was giving liiin ;
and, although not a believer in nor a
patron of patent medicines, I must con-
fess that after my fireman had taken one
bottle he grew much better. I made him
continue its use for a period of two
months, with the most gratifying re-
sults; it really worked wonders and he
owes his cure and present perfect health
solely to the remarkable power of War-
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the
remedy which I prescribed, and he
used.
Since the recovery of the man above
mentioned, I have given considerable
thought to the subject of acute nephri-
tis, or kidney difficulty, and I find that
its manifestations are most remarkable.
It often appears without any special
symptoms of its own, or possible as a
sequel to some other disease. It may be
a sequel to scarlatina, diphthearia, and
other illnesses, and even arise from
pregnancy. The first symptoms fre-
quently show themselves in the form of
high, tierce and intense pain in the lum-
bar region, "the small of the back,"
troublesome micturitions and frequent
changes in the color of the urine which
at times diminishes perceptibly. If the
urine is entirely suppressed, the case,
probablv, will terminate fatally in a few
days. Dropsy is a consequence of the
suppression of urine, and the severeness
of it is governed by the proportion of
retention. The nervous system becomes
prostrated with subsequent convulsions
and irregular circulation of the blood,
which, in my estimation, eventually
might cause a diseased heart to give
out. As I have remarked, in many
kidney diseases—vcs. even Bright's dis-
ease itself—there "is no perceptible pain
in the back, and these troubles often as-
sert themselves in various symptoms —
for instance, in troublesome diarrhcea.
blood poison, impaired eyesight, nau-
sea, loss of appetite, disordered diges-
tion, loss of consclonsness,-- Lusky veies
and many other eomplaints too numer-
ous to mention. Indeed thousands of
people are suffering from the first stages
of Bright's disease to-day, and they do
not know it.
In conclusion, I would like to state
that I have, since my success with the
fireman, repeatedly prescribed Warner's
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and if my
professional brethren could only be
brought so far, as to overcome their
prejudice against proprietary meuiclnes
they would, undoubtedly, And them-
selves recompensed for their supposed
sacrifice for liberty, as well as by the
great benefits that would accrue to the
world. Most sincerely,
O. Anderson, M. D.,

It appears that since the centennial
exposition of 1870 a new Industry has
sprung up in the United States in the
production of that class of glassware
which has hitherto been Imported from
France, and that the American manu-
facturers are now producing articles
which, in strength and purity of mate-
rial, beauty of design, skill and taste in
ornamentation and perfection of work-
manship are tully equal to the best
French goods of this class.
