A TALE OF THE PACIFIC. Wm. Oppcrmnn, K?q.. a wealthy island trader was forpomo months lyine illatHappemammo an island of the Kinpsmill Groun, in the Pacific Ho had been seized with rheumaticfevor, which was followed by complicated disorders of a ter rib'y sovero nature, assuming the form of a specie* of palsy never beforo known. The suf ferer's l'nibs swelled, tho lops lost all sensibility to pain ; tho foot could bo wrenched round or the Bkin nierced with a lanco without inflicting tho slightest Buffering. Tho sick man was ovf dently unconscious of his havinu legs, and hie brain was seriously affected as if with lunacy. In this deplorable state he was kindly brougb from th« islands to Auckland by Mr H. Hender son in the schooner Coronet. Captain Mooller and, being a Gorman, he was received by the German Consul, G. Yon der Heyde, Ksq , and placed in tho District Hospital, where he re ceived treatment for three weeks with no indica tion of improvement, his ease being pronounced by one and all a most hopeless one. Tho captain of the 'Coronet, knowing that extraordinary cures had been effected by the use of Kitchens' Celebrated Blood -Restorer requested tho proprietor of the Blood Restorer to take the case in hand, and a contract was entered into of " No cure, no pay," Mr Kitchens proceeded to tho Hospital, examined the invalid and found him in an apparently dying Btate with scarcely a Rpark of lifo left. Mr Hitchens ordered tho suffering man to be removed to his (Mr EC's) private residence where his wants could personally bo attended to b~ Mr Hitchens The latter administered the medicine (tho Blood Restorer) and used tho ointment freely. Mean whi'o clergymen oallod, pronouncing tho case beyond tho powor of man to effect a cure. How ever, af'er six weeks the efTeot of tho medicine became wonderfully apparent. The Blond Restorer hid acted steadily bnt surely on tho blood; tho doadly impurities were gradually eliminated from tho system until the stream of lifo flowed unohecked in its natural channels over the entire man. Tho brain be came dear and active, and the limbs once again reioiced in natural circulation, the patient rising to his feet, cured of diseases which had bafllod tho skill of lending physicians, a living proof of the wonderful healing powers of Hitchens Celebrated Blood Restorer. TESTIMONIAL,] _• Auckland, N.Z. To H. A. H. Hitohens, Esq. Before leaving Auckland on my roturn voyage to tho Islands, 1 have to perform the pleasing duty of acknowledging tho surprising cure I havo received at your hands.

Mrs McWilliams and Lightning. . ♦ , [By Mark Twain.] : Wkll, Bir,— continued Mr McWilliams, for 1 this was not the beginning of his talk, —the j fenr of lightning is one of the most distress- i in" infirmities v iiumaii beni«can bealllictc-d ' with. It i* mostly cnnlincil to women : but now and then you find it in a little dog, and sometimes iv a mau. It is a particularly distressing infirmity for the reason that it takes thu sand out of a person to an extent which no other fenr can, and it can t be •easonod with, aud neither can it be shamed out of a person. A woman who could face the very devil himself—or a mouse—loses her £riy and goes nil to pieces in front of a fla,h of lightning. Her fright is something pitiful to sec. Well, as I was telling you, I woke up, with that .smothered aud unbeatable cry of " Mortimer ! Moi timer <:' wailinj? in my ears ; and us soon as I could scrape my faculties together I readied over in the dark and then said, " Evangeline, is that you calling ? What is the matter ? Where are you!" "Shut up in the boot-closet. You ought to bo ashamed to lie there and Bleep so, and fetich an awful storm going on." '■ Why, how can one be ashamed when lie is asleep? It in unreasonable; a man can't be asliamod wlicn be is asleep, Evang line." " You never try, Mortimer,—you know very well jou never try." j I caught the sound of vnullled sobs. That sound smote dead the sharp speech that was on my lips, and I changed it to— "I'm tony, dear,—l'm tmly sorry. I never meant to act so. Come back and " — " Mortimer':" "Heavens I what is the matter my love?" . , , " Do you mean to say you are in that bed ycfr" " Why, r.f course." "Come out of it instan'ly. I should think you would lake sonic little care of your life, for my sake and the chililreu's, if your will not for your own." "Hut ray love"— " Don't talk to me, Moitimcr. You know there is no pluce bo iiaiigerouß as a bed, iv such a thunder-storm as this—all the books Hay Unit : ye; there you would lie, and deli berately tlnow away your life—for goodness knows what, unless for the sake ot arguing and arguing, aud "— '■But confound it, Evangeline, I'm not in theb3dnow. I'm"— [Sentence interrupted by a sudden glart of li^lnniiiK, followed by a terrified little scieam from Mrs McWilliams and a tremen dous blast of thunder.] "There! You see the result. Oil, Mor timer, how can you be such a profligate as to swear at such a time us this';" " I didn't swear. Aud that wasn't v result of it any way. It would have come, just tne tame, if 1 liadu't said a word ; and you know very well, Kvungeliuc— at lea-t you oiifjbt to know—that when the atmos phere is charged with electricity " — "Oil, yes, now ar^uo it, ami argue it, and argue it ! 1 dou't see liow you can act so, when you know there is uot a lightning-rod on the place, tnd your poor wife aud children are absolutely at the mercy of providence. What aro you doi-ig ?— lighting a mutch at such a timenfl this I Are yon stink mad ?" " Hang ir, woman, where s the harm ? The placo i» m '-.ark. us liie i.imiie of an klid.il, uud"— " Put it out I put it out instantly I Are you determined to sacrifice us all ? You know there is nothing attracts lightning like alight. (Fsil —crash 1 booniboloom-boom boom 1) Oh, just hour it! Now scu what you've done 1" ''No ; 1 don't sec what Fvo dona. A match may attract lightning for all I know, but it iloii't cause lightning— I'll go odds on that. And itdidu't attract it woith a. cent lliM time for if that shot was levelled at my match, it was blcsf.ed marksman-hip — about an average of none out of a possible million 1 should say. Why at lJollyinount, such marksmanship as that " "For Bhainc, Moitimcr! Here we are standiug right in the very presence of dtatb, and yet in so solemn a moment you are cap able of using stich anguagc as that. If you have no desire to—Mortiiuir !" " Well?" " Did you say your prayers to-night ?" " I—l— meant to, but I got trying to ciplior out how much twelve times thiitccu is, aud " (Fzt ! — boom-berroom-boom ! bumble umble band-smash I) '• Oh we are lo^t, beyond all help ! How could you neglect such a thing at such a time ni this ?" " .But it wasn't ' such a time as thi9.' There wasn't a cloud in the sky. How could I know there was going to be all this rumpus and powwow |about a little slip like that ? And 1, don't think it's just tair for yon to make so much out ot it, anyway seeing it happens so seldom ; I haven't missed before since I brought ou that earthquake, four years ago." " MoitimerllHowyoutalk ! Have you for gotten the yellow fever !"' "My dear, you are always throwing up the yellow fever to me, and I think it is perfectly unreasonable. You cau't even send a telegraph message as far as Memphis without relays, so how is a little devotional slip of mine goiuc to carry so far ! I'll stand the earthquake, because it was in the neigh bourhood ; but I'll be hanged if I'm going to be responsible for every blamed " (Fzt ! —boom beroom-boom ! —bang) " Ob, dear, dear, dear . I {know it struck something, Mortimer. ,\Vc shall never see the light of another day; and if it will do you any good to remember, when we aro gone that your dreadful language— Mor timer 1" " Well, what now t" " Your voice sounds aa if— Morllmer, are you actually standing iv front of that open fire-place?" " That is the very crime I am commit ting." " Get away from it, this moment. You do seem determined to hring destruction on us all. Don't you know there is no bett.r conductor for lightning than nu open chim ney ? Now where have you got to ?" " I'm here by the wiudow. Oh, for pity's take, have you lost your mind ? Clear out ffrom thtre this moment. The very children in arms know it is fatal to stand near a window Jin n thunder-storm. Dear, dear, I know I shall never see the light of another day, Mortimer !" "Yesl" "What is that rustling!" " It's me." " What are you doing ?" " Trying to lind the upper end of my pan taloons." '■ Quick ! throw those things away * I do believe you would deliberately put on those clothes at such a time as this ; yet you know perfectly well that nil authorities agree that woollen stuffs attract lightning, Oh, dear, dear, it isn't sufilciont that one's life must bp iv peril from naturaljcauses, bnt you must do everything you can possibly think of ] to] augment the. danger. Oli, don't hing 1 What cuuyou be thinking of ?" "Nowwhore's the harm iv it?'1 11 Mortimer if I have told you once, I have told you a hundred timesl, that tinging causes vibrations in the atmosphere which interrupt the flow of the electric fluid, and— What ou earth arc you openin^ that door for ?" «' Goodness gracious, woman, i^^^e^ny harm in that Vi '' Harm ? There's i|ea,th it. AnyWdy that has gi\'pu tlitysubject any attention kno\ys tha,t to create a draught is to iuvite }he ljghtniug. You haven't half shut it; s.hu,t it t^gbt—aud do hurry, or we are all destroyed, Ob, it is an awful thing to be shut up with a lunatic ht such a time as this. Mortimer, what are you doing ?" " Nothing. Just turning on the wale*. This room is smothering hot «X\4 <?V>ae. I want to bathe my face and ia,nds." " You have ceytainW parted with the remnan^ oj your mind !■ Where lightning Striken aay other substance oucp, it strikes water fifty times. Do. turn it off. Ob, dear I'm &u,re nothing i« wojld can save us.. It does eo^m to me that— Morti mer what was ¥ ' '• Jt Mas a da—ijt -was picture. Knocked it down." '.' Then you are close to the wall I I never heard of such imprudence } Don't you know tjhftt there1 is no better coLducter for light ning thnn a wall ? Corns away from there I And you came as near as anything|to swear ing, too. Oh how can you be so desperately wicked, and your family in such peril J Mor timor, did you order the feather bed, as I asked you to do ?" " No. Forgot it." " Forgot it may cost you your life. If you hnd a feather bed, now, and could spread it in the middle of the room and lie on it, you would be perfectly safe. Come in here —come quick, before you have a ohanco to commit any moro frantic indiscretions." I tried liut the little closet w> uld not hold us both with the door shut, miles* we could bo conlont to smother. I gasped a while, then forced my way out. My wife called out : " Mortimer, something must be done for your preservation. Give mo that German book that is on the end of the mantle-piecQ, and a candle ; but don't lieht it; give w a match ; I will light it in here. Th,a,t bool? has some directions in ir," I got the book-rrat oosf of a vas^and some other hritHe things ; and the madam shut heraelf up with her candle. I had a moment's peace ; when she called out: " Mortimer, what was that!"



" Nothing but the cat." " The cat! C)i, destruction ! Catch her' ; and shut her up iv the waNl>.<■<«„,!_ Do ho quick, love ; cits are full of electricity.
