After prenentiug it they bade him go

we nay yon are welcome to do so at cny

Our files for two years are missing and

Many reference aud other valuable books

none may be offended.

THE SACRED CONCERT.
It will take place to-night in the Bap
tist Chnrob. This edifice has been reno
vated in a very handsome style, and, to
say nothing of the ooncert wbioh will be
grand, this will be worth tbo while to be
present on the occasion. The entertain
ment will not Iasi longer than ten o'clock.
The price of admission is fifty cents and
tho building will doubtless be filled.
“Thin world i* all a fleeting *how,
For niio'i illuaion giveu

Think of these lines and go to-night
and help in a good cause. “There is
nothing true bnt Heaven," and then 1
ly this saored conoert, which is to that
end, will be witnessed by hundreds.
An Annapolie Cadet.
In a letter of Charlie Dudley to one of
his yonng friends of this oity, he givos
an acoonnt of his routine at the Naval
Academy. They have to get np at f> A.
m., clean np rooms and have them roady
for inspection at (Jj a. m., at which time
all sro formed into lino in front of the
oollogo to answor roll oall. After this
they aro marched into the building for
prayer, thenco to broskfast, and aftor
wards to their study rooms. At 8$ a. m.
the trumpet is sounded and all go to reoi<
talion and they aro kept np nntil 4 r. m
Aftor this hour thoy aro marhehed to tho
armory for drill continuously until fi
m., one half honr aftor which time all
hands sop. At 9 p. m., the end of study
hours after tea, 4he lights aro required
to be oxtingnshed and all retire to thoir
little bods. Charlie thinks tho rales “very
strict to ono who hss been accustomed to
doing as he pleased all of his life.’
There aro five hundred cadets in the bat-
talliou which is headed by a brass band of
fifty musicians. He thinks the sight
“glorious" and ho never saw a prettier
ono in his life, especially when the ordor
for “double quick" is given.
Roltbing the Orpheus.
For some tune tho gardenor of the Or-
pliau Asylum has been missing vogeta
hies, and on Saturday was aroused by a
noise in tho cabbage patch. He immedi
ately went to investigate, and caught a
negro by the namo of Wm. Jones steal
ing vegetables. William “showed fight,''
bnt the old man was too mneb for him,and
with tho assistance of tho night watchman
brought him to the guard-house. He was
tried yosterday and placed under a fifty
dollar bond for appearauoo at the Superi
or Court.

Mb. Georoe W. Willoox, of Nevada,
who says he was the private secretary of
Justice Bradley during the seesion of the
Electoral Commission, olaims to hare
written out tho now famous double-edgod
opinion which Bradley is charged with
preparing. Mr. Willoox writes to a Cov
ington paper, that the opinion wbioh he
rote nnder Bradley’s dictation was
finished about G o'clock in the afternoon
was so favorable to the position taken
by tho Democratic counsel as to indicate
plainly that the author intended to vote
for the Tilden olectors, and in fact, con
eluded with direct declaration to that ef-
feot. This was the afternoon of the day
wbioh the decision of the Florida caso
was to be made, and after the opinion
was written ont a number of visitors
carriages called on Justice Bradley and
persuaded him to change his intention,
which Mr. Wilcox says had already been
communicated, not only to Jnstice Field,
bnt to Justioe Clifford also. Having
yielded to the arguments of his friends,
Justioe Bradley tacked a new conclusion
on to the already written opinion, and so
gave it first to the commission and subse
quently to the world. One point in this
statement has already tjeen contradicted
by Jnstice Bradley, who denies that he
received any visitors that day ; but it re
mains to be seen whether Mr. Wiloox
really acted as the amanuensis on the oc
casion named. If that roach of bis state
ment is true, there will be reason to be
lieve more of it.
Jennie June says that money is not so
often the reason why young women marry
elderly men as people imagine. She says
that the yonng man of to-day is not the
desirable husband that the yonng man of
fifty years ago was; he ia not so thought
ful, sober, pains-taking and conscien
tious; he lives at a club, has no love for
home life or desire to build up character
and repntation as a man and citizen; his
ideas of life are bounded by the theater
and the doings of his little set; and in too
many oases his ambition is to own a racer
and be on intimate terms with the ballet.
Naturally mothers “shrink from intrust
ing their daughters to suoh youths as
those, even if they have the opportunity,
and are better pleased to bestow them on
older men—men who have sown their
wild oats; who know how little of real
valne there is iu the temporary exoite-
meat of pleasure ; who have, perhaps,
been married onoe, and have learned to
valuo home and the guarantees it affords
for permanent happiness.”
The defense made by those whom Par
ker, by bis confession, implicates in the
South Carolina “ring frands" reminds one
forcibly of that made by the darkey who
was arrested for stealing a cow. “Mr.
Jodge,” said he, on being arraigned, “I
aint stole no cow ; I’se above dat; I was
brought np respectable, I was ; I seen a
piece ob rope a lyin’ by de road, and,
Jedge, I picked it np, and, golly, I was
surprised when I gets home, de wust kind,
to find dat yore ole cow critter a hangin'
on to de end of it.”
The owners of cotton mills at Bolton
England, and vicinity, roduced the wages
of operatives five per cent. A strike
sued, which is quite vAst in its propor>
tiouH. Ten or twelve thousand opera
tivos have quit work. One hundred and
six factories have been closed in conse
quence. It is sAid that the men are in
good financial condition to continue the
strike and that large contributions will
be supplied by othor associations.

A Frank Expuession Concerning
Medical Science.—Professor Magendies
addrosftiug his students at the Medical
college in Paris, spoke as follows on doc
tors aud medicine—he himself being a
leading M. D. :
“Gentlemen, medicine is a great hnm-
bug. I know it is called a soienoe; sci
ence indeed ! it is nothing like a science.
Doctors are mere empirics when they are
not charlatans. We are as ignorant
men can be. Who knows anything in the
world about mediemes? Gentlemen, you
havo done me the honor to attend my
lectures, and I say frankly that I know
nothing about medicine. True, we are
gathering facts every day. We can pro
dneo typhoid fever by injecting a certain
substance into tho veins of a dog ; we oan
alleviate diabetes ; and I see distinctly
that we are fast approaching the day when
phthisis can be cared as easily as any dis
ease. But, I repeat it, there is no such
thing now as medical soienoe. I grant
you people are cured ; but how? Nffture
does a great deal ; imagination does s
great deal ; doctors too devilish little.”

MORE THAN A MILE A MINUTE!
A MILE IN FIFTY-SEVEN SECONDS—ONE HUN
DRED AND ELEVEN MILE* IN ONE UUN-
PREKD AND NINE MINUTES—STEP DOWN,
Mil. VANDERBILT !
From the Detroit Free Pres3.J
There was only one stop in the 111
milos that separate St. Thomas from
Amherstburg, on the Canada Southern
Railroad. The engineer, Macomber, was
surrounded by an admiring throng, and
passengers and railroaders commented on
tho handsome appearanoe of his iron
steed. The steam gauge jnst before start
ing showed a pressure of eighty-five
pounds, a moderate figure for a locomo
tive. Conductor Crawford sang out “AH
aboard!” and the special train, with
Bishop Borgess on board, palled ont from
St. Thomas at 5:27 A. m. A grand hur
rah from the platform signalled the de
parture.
Oace the bridge was cleared, Maoom-
her “let her ont.” Bishop Borgess, in
the palace car, after receiving the saluta
tions of the gentlemen of the party, sat
down, and dinner was served to him and
bis traveling companions upon a small
table. No one noticed any particular
motion in the car. There was no disar
rangement in the dishes, orowded and
small as was the table. The hum of the
train was somewhat sharper than nsnal,
and the rushing air against the windows
Hounded like the sweepidg of a rain
storm. Otherwise there was no indica
tion of unusual speed to a person in the
car.
Presently watohes were taken out and
observations made. The reverend clergy,
as well as the more worldly laity, becamo
interested.
“A mil© iu sixty seconds !” ejaculated
Shortly after—“A mile in fifty-eight
seconds !’’
Again—A mile in fifty-seven seconds!”
and tho euthnsiastio Frank Moran, with
a cheer that intensified the excitement,
announced that bis stop-watch marked
fifty-five seconds to the mile.
Before one could poiut ont an object,
it had vanished Before a question could
be asked and answered, a mile bad sped;
five miles wero traversed in the interval,
whilo cigars wore handed aronnd and
lighted by as many men. A flock of
blackbirds flying towards the west, with
all their ileetness in cleaving the air,
were soon loft bobind and lost to view.
The wires on tho telegraph poles swung
np and down from tho movement of tho
train. Tho bushes on the side of the
ditches shook as if swept by a hurricane,
and tho tall and gaudy yellow coxcombs
that grew beside the fences bent to the
gronnd in a seemingly over poworing de"
sire to got loose from the earth and fol*
low tho rushing train. The dust from
newly ballasted portions of the track and
tho chips and leaves rose up fiercely
against tbe force of gravitation and
whirled and gyratod like vapory clouds in
a tempest. A thin line of smoke
stretched interminably in the distance.
The impetus of the train increased; the
vehemence with which it rnshed forward
created a vacuum that apparently took
nature some seconds tc overcome, and
the spirits of the prssengors were exhil
arated by tho unprecedented speed at
whioh they moved throngh space.
A side-track passenger train saluted ns
with cheers aud locomotive whistles.
Neither was heard; before the sonnd
eonld reach the oars of tho passengers iu
the special it was beyond hearing. One
could see tho rushing steam and the wavs
ing handkerchiefs. Train Despatoher
Noble reported that stx miles between
Ilighwood and Ridgetown were made in
five minutes ; tho fifty-seven miles be
tween St. Thomas and Charing Cross were
made in fifty-six and a half-rainntes. A
halt at Charing Cross for fonrminntes for
water, and then on again with the same
overpowing velocity. But go as fast as it
might, the Canada Southern train eonld
not overtake tbe snn ; it sank and night-
fall camo on. Then eonld be seen the
work of the fireman. Every time he
oponed the furnaco a volume of sparks
shot out, and the trailing fire oame down
upon the track like the pyroteohnios of
an Aerial mine.
Finally a sharp twist that sent the
standing passengers over to tho right, and
then another that sent them in the other
direction, and tho yard of Amherstburg
Station was reached.
Hurrah ! One hundred and eleven milos
in one hundred and and nine minutes!
The fastest time in America—beating by
three minutes the run of Vanderbilt's
apeoial train.
The Laleat Waablnuton Fashion.
Frotu a Washington latter.]
Tbe latest thing that has strnck in ou
tho aociety young men, as well aa ladies,
is pedestrianism. Five and ten-tnile
walks are of daily occurrence. If the
mania keeps ou increasing, it will soon
become vnlgar for a person that is any
way yonng to travel in a carriage or even
a steam oar.
In Georgetown, an aristocratic adjunct
to Washington, all the young ladies and
yonng men havo caught the fever, and on
the roads leading from that place to the
adjoining villages society people can be
seen almost any day hoofing it. There is
no donbt about its being healthy, but it is
because it is fashionable that they all take
to it. A conple of walks from George
town to Rockville, a town in Maryland,
eighteen miles distant, will take place this
week.
Mem. from Society Journal: “Miss
S appeared to positive disadvantage
because of cloudiness of complexion and
—mnst we writi it ?—Pimples, spoiling an
otherwise beautiful countenance.” (Sbe

Knocked Down,
Yes, it was a fair and square knock
down, and the justice of the aot is not de
nied.
Tbe female community are more par
ticularly interested, and they give unmis
takable evidences of their appreciation.
“When lovely woman lends her influ
ence, thou it is tbe work moves bravely
on.”
We allude to the fact that the great fe
male medicine, known as Kngltah Female
Bitters, hss been reduced to one dollar
per bottle or three for $2.50. One t»ottle
