Heroic Light-House Keeper.
a ee ‘Aigrand instance of the silent bravery
of Guty is reported ia the Québec corres-
pondence of the New York Worl:
The Acadians have a tradition that God enjoinod perpetual silence and degola- tion on Labrador and Anticosti when he gave them Cain for a heritage. How- ever that may be, it is certain that while other wilds of the earth yield to man’s conquest, these vast wastes remain ever void und empty.
The Indinasc led theislaad Natiscotte, the country ef wailing,—and under the modern corvuption of Anticosti, 1t has added to ita terrible renown. Its whole history, from the day it was discovered by Jueques Cartier in 1534 to the present, is a gee@td of huuwo suffering. Here and there,” however, there is 2 tale of heroism Worthy of a nobler scene.
iu August, 1869,the family of Edward Pope, keeper of the Ellis Bay light-house was stricken down by typhoid fever, anc to aid to his misfortunes, the revolving apparatus of his light broke. The Gov- eroment steamer had gone; Pope had no meaas’ of communicitiog with the marine department at Quebec or elsewhere.
The light revolved, or flashed, as the technical phrase is, every minute and half, and if it flashed no more, it would probably be mistaken by passing vessels in that region, for the atationary light at the “west point of the-island, an thu- lead to dire loss of life.
Pope found that, with a little exertion, he could turn it and make 1t flash, and at once detenmined to fill the place of the automatic gear. Accordingly, this homble hero satin a turret, with his watch by his side, turniog the light regu.arly at the al- lotted time every night, from 7, P. M., uotil 7, A. M., from the middle of August until the first of December, and from the first of April eotil the end of Juac, when the Government steamer came to his re- lief with a new apparatus.
All through the first scison Pope’s daughter and grandchildren were ill unto death, with nobody savehimto nurse them. He waited on them tenderiy during the day, but has night fell on the jroo-bound coast he hastened to his vigil in the turret, doing his duty to the Canadian Goverment and to humanity with unflinching devotion.
In the second season his daughter, who had lived *through the fever, took turns with him in the light-room. This mio may have saved a thousand lives. He died in 1872, and his deed has never until this day been chronicled, for of the heroes of Anticosts, has of the long rell of her victims, the world knows nothing.

The Voltaic Pencil.
There is at the present time seareely « single branch of industry to which elec- tricity is not lending itsaid. Art, how- cver, thas far received but little bevefit from this source, if we except the appli- cation of electricity to electro-metallurgy. We are pleased to learn, then, that an important discovery has just been made at Paris by M. Beliet, whose invention consists of a voltaic pencil, by the use of; which designers and draughtsmen will be enabled t+ dispense entirely with the aid of the engraver. The editors of the Electricite state that they have examined beautiful proofs of lithographs and etchings obtained, without the use of the graver, by the effect of a voltaicare pro- duced at the point of an ordinary lead pencil Edeoureged by his success the) inventor hus taken out patents in various countries, and « company has been formed | to carry out the process, which will soon be placed before the public. At present there are being prepared models of a series of apparatus which wiil allow any artist, however ignorant of the mysteries of electricity, to reproduce immediately, and without the aid of any artisan, the most delicate aad complicated drawings ; ; and this, too, by a-very simple process and at a very moderate price. By a slight modification of the system there may be produced: (1) stencils analogous to those prodaced by the Edison pen ;
2) lithographs; (3) etchings; (4) stereotypes for typographical work. ‘The initiators of this discovery are coufident that an entire revolution will take place in the process of illustrating papers by means of eleetrography.—Scientiflc American,
Vivid pictures are often drawa of the stupidity of children, and especiaily ot the igeorance which they display of the meinings of common Evglish words. A child may understand the meaning of a word perfectly without being able to find asynouym ftorit. To give a Cefinitiou of the commonest word off-hand is not al- ways easy. An inspector expressed his surprise that no child could tell him the meaning of the word “ boat,” and upon’ being asked himself to define it, said, “Why, a boat is a—a boat, you know. Every body kuows what a boat is.” The story is too good, perhaps, to be true; but it points a moral nevertheless.— Lone don paper.

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time whea the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
Dr. MELVIN’s Carsitcum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one isa applicd the patient will fee} its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoronghly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually preseribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and
ou want acetain eure, ask your druggist for
R. MELVIN'’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER, You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and ther poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will e*li hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for DR. MrELvin’s CApst- cum Porovs PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address im the United States or Cane<as,

CATARRE. : Constitutional. Catarrh
CURES CATARRHE.,
Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy. T. J. B. Harprxe, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—
Dear Sir—It is now two years since your ‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy” was intro- duced to me. Ihave waited this long to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘too good to be true.” '
i was afflicted-in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. _ In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, aud when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.
A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath-
_.jsome ‘disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send
you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what mse of it yon may see proper. “Yours vk a faa = W. TENDALL, Methodist Miniscer. Port’ Figin, “Ont.,"Atg. 24, 1878.”
Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh ree and take no other.
