If they treated only eases where true cancer exists there would be but cotnpar- ati\ely small evil done, for there is too much reason to believe that the disease is of its very nature fatal, and that its prog less to n painful death Is sure and steady despite the utmost reach of human skill hut harmless tumors arc constantly sub mitted to their care. Everything with them is invariably a “cancer, and it must be diawn out. The applications which are made destroy the tissues, for how can they draw the ca. cer out without It? That which wa* harmless becomes a sourco of Mitrering and even of danger, and if the patient recovers after the “doctor" has taken all the money available, it pa:a'IeJ as a cure, whereas no cure was needed. ..at It. _ , mire of the casu. bo far an the ‘ tor* could see, the woman was (! ad. jjjti was ashy pale, the surface i 'in- •nitine u*ry low, the lijis were I'vitl, m| the eves dilated and insensible to actkni of light; there win no pu’so at v.ri't or temples; no definite heart- »-,t coul<l he detected even by tiio rtboscope; resp ration had absolutely iivd. ami unconsciousness was com- ie:c.

This iron rule does not prevail to nearly so great an extent in t uuada, hut It exists with sufficient force to make the independence of the Individ uni Englishman marked even to a Cana diun. The old Indian generals who affect eastern modes of life in misty England, the retired sea captains whose talk is ever hi nautical phrases of nautical mutters, and other riders of hobbies innumerable, who have furnished materials to many authors, and amusement to many genera tions of readers, abound in England uni* he p to render the lund picturesque and at ti active. All these harmless and amusing cccen tricities are almost tuled down into a dead level of monotonous uniformity in the r.cw world. 1 crimps I should except New York from tl.ts general statement.

Paper JVIeu-or- War, (American Queen.] A correspondent gives us the following interesting item: Already there are actu ally in existence paper uieu-of-wur of enormous tonnage. A few years ago I was on Loatd the llritish man-of-war, the Huleigh, which was then cruisiug in East Indian waters. Pointing to the substantial looking wooden wulls of the vessel, a mid shipman one day asked me if I knew what those- were made of. 1 answered tbatprob- ably they were made of teak or oak. and was considerably surprised when he iaughed and told me 1 was all at sea in more senses than one. “The hull e/ the l.nlciffh," he said, “is really paper hy draulically pressed. Paper walls in place of the famous wooden walls of England that the poets s<ng about, were adopted by the admiralty a few years ago as an experi ment on a few mcn-of-war. This in one of them that you urc now sailing iu through the Indian ocean. ” The paper-hull Idea ns applied to men-cf war. Is a good one, at least in theory. In the old wooden and iron ships the men were more exposed todnugor from splinters tuan direct mUsiles. Now, paper hulls would at least do away with splintering. A shot might hit a vessel and pass right through i:s side, hut the hole would be u clean one, and there would In* uo spliuters until the missile encountered some of the internal machinery or compartments. I do not know whether the English government has Imilt many of these siugulur paper boats, but it had one of them, at least, in the shape of the Huleigh.
