Since the wicked newspaper paragraphers began to make beastly little jokes about Hr. Mary Walker, she has declared her intentions of getting well right off. Pride goes before a fall, we are told. All through the iate campaign the republicans ■were taking frequent occasion to "point ■with pride’’ at various objects. Possibly that accounts for the hard fall they got last fall. Women have partly won the right or privilege of representation as lay delegates in future Methodist conferences after a long tussle. Now that so much is gained, all they hare to do is to continue the fight to win a complete triumph. Secretary Balfour now proposes that the British government shall aid those who are depressed in Ireland by lending them enough money to buy seed. Other methods for the relief of distress aro to be adopted. That is the easiest and surest way to settio the discontent and difficulties of the unfortu nate land. Concerted effort is to be made by the re publican back politicians of New York to get all of the democrats out of the custom house. This is a job at which those wor thies have long been delving without any conspicuous success. Those flourishing democratic officeholders are a source of constant envy and irritation to the hust ling ward worker. Production of pig iron in the Pittsburg district this year is said to have attained proportions never before known. And the pig industry is constantly developing in Chicago. Between the two the country should manage to eke out a good bit of richness. But Mr. Quay will soon be going for these iron magnates to fry some of the fat out of their pigs. Third party talk among the alliancemen does not seem to meet with much encour agement, Entering into active politics would doubtless compass tho destruction of the order, us it has dismembered all previous agricultural and industrial orders. Alle giance to the principles of the old parties is too deeply instilled In thema-ses to be easily or quickly alienated by any new faction, however meritorious the proposed principles. Unlike the newspapers of the more “ad vanced” countries, Haiwaii sustains its local paper, the Paradise of the Pacific, by legis lative subsidy from the national treasury. In return for this very substantial favor the editor promises to do the “write-up” uct for the benefit of his legiiative friends, iu which they are to be biographically de scribed in good style. Haiwaii seems to be the paradise of the journalist, at any rate. Kaiser Wilhelm suggests that tho studies in the Prussian schools shall be simplified. More attention is to be paid to moral train ing. Intellectual culture is to be chiefly ot a practical character, tending to develop good judgment iu the actual affairs of life. Bound ideas are to be brought out, but no overstudy allowed. Historical study will be largely confined to the history of (ier mauy. Above all ho wishes to impress upon the youth of the laud the greatness of the Prussian kings aud their sy in pathetic work for the people. Clearly the emperor is not lucking in tho finesse of statecraft Jcg-glirg With Justice. Investigation of thoconduct of fhe United St at-.-a courts in the several states of this union show that the observance of law ;s j disgracefully lax ami the administration of justice has come to be lit. >e short of a travesty. This matter ha;, for the pastsix months, bseu the subject of official scrutiny by a subcommittee appointed by the congressional judiciary com mittee for that purpo e. They report that they found the federal instrum ints of justice prosperous and happy and running things pretty much a -cording to the bent of their own inclinations and largely in con sonance with the measure of their personal necessities. They bad the key to the cup board, so to si eak, and they treated them selves kindly and with marked generosity. They had "jnstics” on tap and when they felt thirsty they sold a small chunk and bought a drink. In olh-.-r affairs of life j they treated themselves with equally | uniform consideration. According to the statements of Chairman Thompson this transgression of law was more conspicuous in some of the southern states. What else could txj expected where United States officers are often appointed primarily because of their disreputable char acter (just to spite democrats:, and essential qualifications for tho official duties of the jxisition are made a secondary considera tion. Judges were in the habit i>f liberally ex ercising the pardoning power, the com mittee found, by indefinitely suspending sentence when so disposed. This courtesy was probably extended to their personal and political friends. Commissioners openly paid £1 each for complaints, however triv ial, in order that they might charge big fo -s for bearing tho case and allow all of their relatives fees for attendance as wit nesses. Marshals sat in their houses and imagined bold, bad mo mshiners and charged 82 a day for trying to catch them under the bei. Other equally base less charges w re made fur alleged services. All tf this had to be sworn to, but they didn’t mind a little thing like that. In Bos ton clerks were found arrogating the func tions of open court by issuing certificates of naturalization and charging the govern ment for the blanks so used, although they illegally pocketed all of the extortionate fees demanded. These things came to lie so common, wo are told, that "the attorney general complained of it.” Now, why should the Attorney Genera! complain of a breach of law in his depart ment? What is he there for if not to see thatsuch flagrant misuses of courts are im mediately stopped, and all attempt’d per versions of justice remedied i Why didn’t he fit pit himself. He has the power. Was ho afraid of anybody or any influence? If he was he Is unfit for bis office. There are ways for getting unfit judges, marshals and commissioners out of office, and bi3 failure to employ the means at his command to protect tbe people would indicate that he hasn’t been faithful to tho trust reposed in him. Florida’s Rich Find. According to the report of the surveyor gen eral very prolific now sources of wealth have recently been unearthed in Florida. Acting upon this report the Secretary of the In terior recommends that a geological as well as a topographical survey of tho state shall be made. Extensive and very valuable deposits of rich phosphate rocks were dis covered only a few feet beneath the surface on the public land that has lately boen drained. Many other valuable substance were found in the course of the explora tions. Among them are slate, mica, zinc ore, kaolin, sulphur, marl and fossil guano. Large areas of swamps that have been drained now open to tillage a broad expanse of arable land well adapt ed to the cultivation of sugar cane and other semi-tropical crops. De velopment of the resources of the state can not intelligently proceed, however, until a complote survoy has boen made. As yot there is no available money for that purpose, and both the state and na tional appropriations have heretofore been very meager. Yet it is to be hoped that they may now be sufficiently liberal to enable this work to proceed. Probably no public work is more desirable and profitable from a commercial standpoint. Bueh sur veys are essential. They not only reveal the presence of valuable mineral deposits, but reduce to a minimum the waste of monoy usually expended iu prospecting by giving reliable information as to the ap proximate location of paying mines. In dustrial development of any locality is for the ultimate interest of the whole country, even though individuals may derive the direct immediate advantages. l;aking Fair Music. Replying to an inquiry from the Chicago Tribune relative to the character and cost of the music which should enfiveu tho world’s fair, Director Philip Soussa, of the Marine band at Washington, expresses the opinion that while “American compositions, everything else boitig equal, should be given the preference on all official days, no com position should be performed simply because it is American.” AUiteratively and in a lively strain the professor then goes ahead to say that "Much has been said about excluding foreign com positions. I contend that if we are to ad mit foreign machinery, why not foreign miisia? German sausages are welcomed, why uot Gorman symphonies? If French fashions, why not French fantasias? If Italian oils, why not Italian cdosf If Brit ish merchandise, why uot British madrigals? “No, Mr. Editor, we cannot conscien tiously extend an invitation to our friends across tho way to visit us, and thou restrict them to the hog pen and the kitchen. We are too proud to say we can surpass your hardware, but not your harmony; your cutlery, but not your counterpoint; your mutton, but not your melody. "No doubt an ode will be written for the oponing of tho fair. lost the competition be open to the world, aud lot the laurel wreath bedeck the brow of him who rises to tho sublimity of the occasion, whether ho calls bis home Seuegambia or .Sioux City, Puntp kintown or Patagonia.” If the professor’s musical compositions aro as trig at as his notes to the uewspajtors, ho ought to stand a very good chanco of draw ing the prize himself. Nevertheless his very liberal sentimonts denote a breadth of view that is dosirving of commendation. Still, there is one point upon which we must bog to Interject a dissenting rernoustranco, and that is the anniversary ode. By all means that should bo written and composed by native born Americans. To roquiro or evou allow a foreigner to come hero aud teach us patriotism aud appreciation of our own country would be a humiliation to which we should never submit. Nor should we have need to. If this groat land of liberty cannot inspire patriotism as well as poesy THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1890. ■ to tell our illustrious story in rythmical rhymes set to melodious measure, whzre in ail the civilized w rid shall the giad hearts of fortune’s favored children look for in spiration. Here is an opportunity for fame that is rarely afforded. American genius should not ullow it to pass unimproved. Genius of any sort is by no means uncommon here, and on this particular occasion it should exert itself to reliect credit upon the coun try. Meanwhile, watch the professor. The Pension Burden. The northern people are beginning to wake up to the fact that tho pension burden is getting to be a bigger one than they want to carry. Secretary Noble, in his annual report, shows that $133,030,000 w;!l be required for pensions this year. Not withstanding tbe wars in Europe this coun try [jays in pensions nearly five timers much as Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria- Hungary and Belgium combined. The lib erality of this country in the matter of pensions is something extraordinary. Aud yet there are men in congress, pro fessing to be statesmen, who say that the country has not done Its duty yet to those who fought for the union-side, and they are tbe authors of bills which, if they should beoome laws, would almost double tho pen sion burden. The irrepressible Pickier, representative from South Dakota, has hardly hod time yet to warm the seat that has been assigned him, but his voice has been heard for more pensions. Ho has introduced a bill to give all pensioners $0 a month who receive less than that sum. As there are about 100.003 of them, if his bill were to become a law, there would be another heavy dram on the treasury. It looks very much as if ho were in league with the pension sharks in Wash ington, who are continually suggesting new ways to increase pensions, not that they care a bon. the old soldiers, but for the pur pose of filling their own pockets. Congrers has at last taken notice of the enormous foes of these pension robbers, and a bill has been introduce i to cut down their fees. If the fees wore cut off altogether there would be an immediate falling off in tho number of pension scheaics before con gress. Relations of the Races. After a tour of observation through the Southern states. Prof. Bryce, who is a member of the British parliament and an eminent man, whose close study and thorough understanding of our national affairs is attested by his published book, called: "The American Commonwealth,” thinks there is but littlo real antagonism between whites and blacks, oxcept which is fomented by crafty politicians. Left to themselves, he expresses the opinion that the “race problem” would very soon be satisfactorily determined. S) far from irreconcilable antagonism, he says that he could perceive but little ill— will or preju dice between the two races, aud what thero was apparent was clearly based upon politi cal differences. Commenting upon these observations of the distinguished gentleman, the Philadel phia Ledyer recently said that ‘‘it must be recognized as inevitable, and as a matter to be deplored, that so long as either party can make political capital for itself out of raco prejudice, it will continue to do it. It was wholly natural that the blacks of the south, freed from slavery and enfranchised by the Republican party, should become tbe adherents of that organization. That was but paying a debt of gratitude.” Always, an honest paper, of manly tend encies, the Ledger has made the fairest statement that could have been expected from a republican paper. But even the Ledger cannot divest itself of that old fallacious claim that the slaves wore "en franchised by the Republican party.” That is not correct. Examination of tha army lists will conclusively prove that the demo crats of the north contributed a groat deal more to that end than the republicans did. Still, the republicans promptly arrogated all the credit to themselves, and even went so far as to elect a democrat (Gen. Grant) President, on condition of his changing his politics. Negroes became republicans simply be cause the unscrupulous carpet-bag poli ticians told them that their old masters wore trying to re-enslave them, and would do so if they had the political power. Seeing that the whites were democrats they natu rally voted the other way through fear of losing their liberty, and for no other reason. In truth, they had no particular admiration for the Republican party as represented by the emissaries they saw. Those who know the negro well, fully understand that he has but little respect for a white man who will associate with him on equal terms. And when he found that the false pretease about depriving him of his liberty was merely a political trick of those who pro fessed to be his friends, to deceive him and slander his old master, whom he knew he could at least trust, he had little respect left for those who pertrated the fraud upon him. Yet some negroes continue to vote that way under such illusive promises as that of "forty acres and a mute" and mauy others similar. Home demagogues manage to array him against the whites by telling him how long he was a slave, without men tioning that he was frequently better cared for then than he can cure for himself now. Further along, however, the Ledger con cedes that "it has been noticed by many intelligont authorities that iu the border states of the south the colored people are much lass of a single party thau they were a few years ago, and that tie entire relationship between them and the whites is less antagonistic than it was, aud that it is certainly, if slowly, growing more cor dial.'’ This shows that with the acquisition of education and intelligence the negro is not so easily imposed upon. With increasing enlightment ho develops judgment uni naturally soon gravitates into the Demo cratic party, as the organization most likely to protoct and promote his interests, liaside, experience has taught him that the people therein are his personal friends, and tak.- a practical interest in his welfare. He was Ccnddered Harmless. The appearances of Richard Watson Gilder in I> ilities are rare, says the New York World, but uot unfraught with interest.

And now a nameless terror seized upon th-se men. They dare not leave the woods, as a bounty was set on their capture. In a week or two the body of Gillroy was found—shot in the right eye. "And when, a few .lays later, the bodies of Deabin and Beardsley were found near the bonk of the ii.-er, shot in the right eye, lue re maining members of the gang--Byl YVordeu and Duke Thomas—pale, emaciated, scared aud with shattered nerves, sought to escape from the unerring rifle of the man tbey ha 1 so deeply Injur -d.

He had sworn a solemn oath of vengeance, and, raising his rifle, the last of the gang lay in death—shot in the right eye. Hoskins was never aeon after that. " Tbe Tramp Wltb Consumption. I was at my uncle's, near Niagara Falls, in Canada, says the New York Sun, and had hardly arrived when he said: "Now, Nevvy, you'll be wandering around more or less, aud I want to caution you about an old ram I took up as au estray the other week. He's down in the lot where the gravel pit is. aud just as sure as you give h:m a shuw he’ll be tbe death of you. 1 saw him knock a cow off her feet at one bang, and I wouldut go into the lot for $50." Next day 1 skirted the fences and found the old chap anxious for business I didn't give him an opening, however, but somebody else did. I was standing in tbe barn with uncle, when he suddenly exclaimed: "Great Joseph! but there’s a tramp iu the gravel pit lot! That ram will smash him to pulp in two miuutes:" He shouted, waved his hat, and shouted again, but the tramp was a quarter of a r ile away, and walking with his bead down. The ram was lying down in tbe pit. and tbe yelling brought him out. We saw him scramble up the bank, and my uncle gasped out. "Git a boss bitched up to go for the under taker. for that tramp won't be alive two min utes later!’’ He was, though. The ram came at him on an angle, and be caught sight of the auimal wuen about 10 rods off. He w-beeied t o the right, stood still, and the ram got within 13 teet. and then sailed through tbe air on a straight iine to strike him. Next instant the tramp had him by the horns, and with a tsist and a jerk he broke liis neck with a snap, lie tarried to be sure the ram was dead, and then came on, climbed the fence, and said to us: "Gentlemen, you see a man before you who has been unroitunate. I have consumption, and am hardly able to stand I want to get to a milder ulimate as soon as possible.’’ Social Status of the Hat. The hat prevents the loafer from taking his position as a gentleman, says the Chicago Herald, and it also will betray the vagaries and eccentricities—at times—of the man with the evenly balanced head. Now, here is a story that is known to everybody in toe northwest, but I don't reinber that it has over been seen in print. Avery prominent mail in Wisconsin, . olding office at the capital of the state, was very convivial in disposition, and sometimes would betray the fact of his being a victim to his disposition by returning late at nig, it. and in retiring fling nis clothing about the room in anything but a dignified display. The devoted wife usually gauged the amount of wine iu dtiled in by the mild or the furious confusion of the room, fine night this prominent man had been imbibing a little more than usual, and out of respect to the opinion of bis wife and as a sort of an apology to himself decided that for once he would not betray the fact that the dinner |>arty at which he had been the honored guest was a little too couvival. He returned to his house and slipped quiet yup to his sleeping room. In undressing he took great pains tnat every article of clothing was folded aud put carefully in its proper place. With a glance around the room that proved that everything was in order, he lowered the gas and retired. He had had time only to feign sleep when his w ife entered. As she turned up the gas she said: "Judge, you are drunk?” He raised up in bad astounded. He [danced around. He had made no mistake. Not a thing was out of place, lie said: "Now, my dear, how unjust of you. Isn't everything in this room just as it should be? ’ "Yes, the room certainly is as it should be, but no sober man ever goes to bed with his hat on." The American Girl. From. London Punch. She “guesses" and she “calculates,” she wears all sorts of collars. Her yellow hair is uot without suspicion of a dye: Her “pappa” is a dull old man, who turned pork into dollars. But every one admits that she's undubitably spry. She did Rome in a swift two days, gave half the time to Venice, But vows that she saw everything, although in awful baste; She’s fond of dancing, but she seems to fight shy of lawn tennis, Because it might endanger the jroportions of her waist. Her manner might be well defined as elegantly skittish; She loves a lord as only a republican can do; And quite the best of titles, she s persuaded, are the British, And well she knows the “Peerage,” for she reads it through and through, She’s bediamouded superbly and shines like a constellation; You scarce can see her fingers for the multi tude of rings. She’s just a shade too conscious, so it seems, of admiration, With irritating tendencies to wriggle when she sings. She owns she is “Amur’can," and her accent is alarming; Her birthplace has an awful name you pray you may forget Yet, after all, we owu "la Belle Amerieaine” is charming. So let us hope she’ll win at last her long sought coronet. Loveslckn©33 Cured His Consumption. There Is a Washington physician who. some years ago, made an important discovery—noth ing less than a cure for consumption—says the Washington Slur. The euro was effected in his own case, but his doubts as to whether the sumo remedy would be equally efficacious if tried ou other people have deterred him from makiug the facts generally known. The doc , tor, as we suppose, at the time was a victim of consumption, and was coughing up sections of his lungs until he thought that both lungs ware nearly gone, aud that the gravedigger would soon bo given employment preparing his last resting placo. Although the doc tor bad one foot in the grave, as he wii> posed, he was not too far gone to fall in Jove with one of the prettiest girls in the city. Un fortunately, or fortunately, as it turned out, ho was jilted by his sweetheart All along the dying man had been taking cod liver oil l.y Uje wholesale, but when disappointed m bis lovo affair, be no longer desired to five and stopped spending his money for drugs, hoping the end w ould soim come.

ITEMS OF INTEREST. A i. lance at th“ nearest milliner's window is idie on: to prove that tbe breasts and wrings of t i-d-c and even whole birds, are as freely employe las ever to adorn hats and bonnets. Seven lords in one hat in a milliner's window have been counted. Sitowmakcr says that for tbe itching of the skin, so commonly met with in eczema, there is nothing that affords such prompt ad effective relief as a mixture of equal parts cf glycerine and lime-water. This may be applied to the skin as often as necessary. A loaf that lias become too stale for the table mav be "freshened" by wrapping it iu a clean cloth, and dipping it in boiling water for thirty- minutes. Then remove the cloth and l>ak • tie loaf ten minutes iu a slow oven. Stale breakiast rolls may be treated in the same way. Systems for distributing power in cities from a central station are coming more into use every day. Stesiu, electricity and compressed air are the common agents, but Paris has a syst-m which is the reverse of that am ploy in ' compressed air. The motors operate by a vacuum created by immense air pumps at the centra! station. Jamss Brapi.ev died at his home in New York the other day. from concussion of the brain and meningitis. Ha received the injuries which causeq his death in a peculiar manner. While going down-stairs at his home, a cat ran under his feet, tripling him up. He fell over the bal ustrade from the second story, and struck his head in the lower hallway. He was picked up unconscious, and remained in that condition until he died. The roads in a certain town of Maine had re cently- fallen into a very bad condition, and the men of a particular district refused to repair them—said they were too busy, and it was a thankless task, uuyway. The women of the town thereupon urged and procured the ap pointment of a woman superintendent, and, with the ai lof area l machine and some men Whom she employed, the roads wore soon in excellent condition. The influence of tight collars iu impeding ttye circulation in the head by pressing on the jugu lar veins is well known to military surgeons wit h tho troops in India; but the bad effects of such pressure in cooler climates have oeen de mons: rated by the observatims of Professor Foster of Breslau, who state i that 301) cases have como under his not ,ce in which the eye sight has been affetesd by the disturbance of the circulation caused by wearing collars that are too small. A large number of these cases were probably subjects of myopia. According to tbe British and Colonial Drug gist, a good depilatory is made by mixing to gether in fine powder, t.O parts of barium eul phydrate. 2 > parts of starch, 25 parts of oxide of zinc, aud making into a paste with suflioient water. This is spread on the surface which is to ba freed from hair, about an eighth of an inch thick, and allowed to dry. When this is effected lit generally takes about ten minutes), tbe mass is removed, leaving a perfectly hair less surface. Irritation does not occur, but the mixture should not bo applied to the same place on two consecutive days. A noted medical autoor observed: “No doubt much of la grippe comes through the feet. Thiu-soled shoes, or thick soles, standing on ice, or snow, or cold wood, until the sole attains the same degree of cold as that on which it rests; then cold feet, cold legs, cold abdomen, cold lungs, cold m the throat, in the head; the eves, the nose, the mouth speaking witnesses, testifying to the body resting on the feet and the brain resting on the body, tnat a plain violation of every reasonable rule of health has been permitted, to be paid in penalty of suffer ing and paui; of lost time, of care and anxiety of friends, it may be of death—is Cot this and this result sufficient warning?” Baltimore lawyers are at Elkton, Md., ex amining the records of the courts with refer ence to the estate of James Paul Heath, whose will was executed Slept. f>, 1745. Heath was one of the wealthiest land owners of his day. For some unacootiutablo reason the estate seems rever to have been properly closed. The records of the orphans’ court show that at the time of the hist statement of the account of the executors the e then remained in their bands the sum of AT 15 10s Ul From time to time during the last half century the heirs of Jamos Paul Heath liave I)tii tryiug to recover possession of this property, but uo legal steps havu ever been taken to bring the matter to issue iu the courts. A few years aoo a sturdy old Chinese gen eral and viceroy died in Canton, who was noted for having his own wav, no matter what the authorties at Pekin or even the emperor hiqiself wanted. Chang Chih-tung, the new viceroy of Hunan, is now emulating the famous general's example. His imperial mas ter in Pekin recently increased the tax on opium. The viceroy of Hunan decided that the tax was too high, and t hat the opium raisers of his province need not pay it. He therefore issued a proclamation informing the people that the extra tax which the government imposed would uot be collected, as he considered the old tax high enough. It remains to be seen whether his disregard for the imperial order will get him into trouble. At Delmonico’s on Tuesday a night line of ro tund New Yorkers, with rosy faces and vast shirt fronts, filed upstairs to gather at the great “tasters’ dinner" of the year. The “tasters’ ” dinner is that which Deimoniuo always gives to to the twelve committeemen of the St. Nicholas Society ns a sample of the repast he means to serve to the society on the night of the graud banquet. The sample or taste is always pro nounced fine, and then the great dinner follows. After the dinner is over ttie same committee men meet, at the end of a month, and eat a pre cisely similar feast called "the settling dinner.” Thus they recall the grand good time they had at the great dinner. It is a vast and joyous thing to be a Knickerbocker, but to be on* the St. Nicholas dinner committee is fine beyond all else that falls to a New Yorker’s lot. The Bosphore Kgmdien announces anew act of astounding vandalism, which that amiable journal does not hesitate to insinuate is con nived at by the Egyptian government. Three gangs of workmen, under two local shieks, are daily extracting blocks from the lower courses of the two largest pyramids of Gizeh. These are broken up and carried away on camel back for building purposes. The sheiks allege that they are doing this work of destruction by permission of the government; whereas they have, it is said, obtained oclv a permit authoriz ing them to remove scattered blocks ides blocs evarpiltes). That these Arabs should exceed their license is not surprising; but it is surely, to say the least of it. extraordinary that a govern ment partly administered by Europeans should have granted such powers to native overseers, unchecked by the pre-ence of one of their own officials. The pyramids do not belong to the khedive nor to his government; they do not even belong to the Egyptians. They are the in heritance of the world. One of a party recently returned from a tour in tho Olympic mountains gives the Whatcom Reveille the following account of some strange animals discoTered there. One night we camped near Sentinel ltock, about a inite from the divide. This rock stands boldly out alone, like a massive fortress, guarding the entrance to the valley of the Dungeness. Suddenly tbe mountain sides seemed to be alive with men whistling to one another, when—and one would turn sharp around only to hear another and a shriller whew on the other side; and soon we saw lots of animals about the size of a fox, with long, bushy tails, running from rook to rock, sometimes lying down, but more often sitting bolt up, erect, like a ferret does. We shot a couple of small ones that night and afterward shot several more larger ones. Campbell called them whistling dogs, and de clared they were good to eat; but the smell was enough for 11s. Their odor is peculiar, but not fragrant. They have two long teeth in front, like a beaver, and feet almost shaped like squirrels' feet. 1 believe their right name is mountain beaver. Wherever we went afterward to the mountains and as long as there was grass we saw' these w histling dogs, as we got to call them. I like to see them; they seemd to make the place cheerful and lively, and were very amus ing to watch. In winter they have long burrows under tr?e snow aud their coats get a dark gray; in summer they are yellow. Their skins should make good fur. aud I think would pay for being trapped iu winter months. One Season Cured Bim. Have you ever heard how Nat C. Goodwin effected a cure at Carlsbad? asks the Chicago Neus. He had been ailing for months, was all run down, aud everybody advised him to go to Europe. So go he did, taking his wife with him. In Euroue everybody told bim he ought to try Carlsbad He went to Carlsbad, secured lodgings and settled down; took a walk around town, consulted a doctor, tried to find some thing to do and finally went to b<l out of sheer despair; got up next morning, visited tbe spring, took one taste of the water, tried to talk with several other Invalids—all foreigners; went back to his lodgings and b**gan to pack up. “Come on, Lizzie," said he. "Why, Nat, what do you mean? Where are you going? ’ she asked. "I’m going lonic,” said be. “1 came here to get well, but l il die if 1 etay here twenty-four hours longer.” “But, Nat," she remonstrated, “you’re not cjred yet.” “Oh, yes. 1 am,” said be, ‘Tin cured of Carls bad, and that's experience enough for one sum mer.” THE LATEST DISGOv'ERY. ivi .
