additional activity and perhaps, inter
est to the city streets as a sort of every
day carnival. But many advertisers
have exceeded both taste and discre
tion, especially the proprietors of quack
medicines ana patent soaps; they have
emblazoned the ridiculous names of
their wares upon the loveliest spots,
and have invaded the most sacred pre
cincts of Nature with their undesirable
iiotoriety. The offense given to all
sensible people by their vandalism
counteracted any beneficial effect their
advertisements might have had, and
now, when there is scarcely a promi
nent cliff or bluff in a frequented part
of the country that is undefaccd by
them, they perceive tho profitlessness
of the method.
One thing about iho otherwise mon
strous business compelled Some degree
of admiration. It was the ubiquity and
audacity ot the sign-painter, who, in
many instances must have imperiled
his life to accomplish his yurpose.
When last summer whirling toward
the Pacific, we saw his handiwork high

Canyon; again on the somber granite
cliffs of- Weber; further west on the

the rock. I supposed may bo it was a
stone rolling from above, when spat!

the" rock and saw a lot of littlo dents in
it, like bullet marks; but I couldn't see
where they came from. Spat! again

He was evidently exhilerated by his
own recital, and, as he lighted a fresh
cigar, his eyes were sparkling and his
face was smiling with immense satis

he continued, "painted 'Kaiser Bitters'

Too Many Doctors.
One of the moil important things
done by th3 National Medical Associa
tion, during its recent annual session,
was to increase the time for a regular
course of medical study from two to
three years, with the double object of
raising tho standard of medical pro
ficiency, and reducing the number of
doctors annually turned Out to make a
living in some way off the public.
At present there is no limit to tho
aggregation of medical colleges, or the
number of medical students, save incli
nation and the time necessary in order
to obtain a diploma; and tho conse
quence is that the country Is already
flooded with Incompetent, incapable,
inexperienced doctors, who live from
hand to mouth, who realize ho higher
obligation than pocketing their fees,
and Whostt actual interest it is to keep
people sick instead of making them
well. H the science of therapeutics has
made anv orosrress. it is in teaching
physicians now littlo they know; how
very uncertain all remedies are that are
not in accordance witn .Nature, ana its
fixed, inevitable laws. If they have
learned anything, it is that there are no
such things as special drugs for the cure
of special diseases; but that when the
body, or any part of it, has become dis
ordered, Nature itself can do more than
any doctor toward its restoration, and
that the most that can bo done is to
make the conditions favorable for a
cure, and not put any obstacle in the
way. through our ignorance or previous
habits.
What patients usually demand of
physicians is that they shall bo cured of
certain symptoms. The doctor, there
fore, attacks the symptoms, and often
succeeds in changing their character;
but this does not always cure the dis
ease; on the contrary," it is not unfre
quently tho cause of its assuming a
more dangerous form. Timo and pa
tience are required to cure disease that
has assumed so decided a shape as to
exhibit marked symptoms; for it miy
work a long time in secret before this
occurs. So when a doctor or a drug
professes o cure disease in this touch-and-go
fashion, it is safe to set them
down as frauds, and the chances are
greater without their help or interfer
ence. The tendencies of tho race are toward
health; there is twenty-live per cent,
less of sickness now than formerly, con
sidering the increase of population; and
if the more doctors we have the more
healthy we become, wc shall not feel
inclined to quarrel with them; but
we have a strong suspicion that it is in
spite of them rather than by their help,
that we arc well, or at least better, and

is spoken of as the ruling motive of "the

Tins mermaid "wnicn "scrvedwto"lielp"
Barnum on to fame and fortune as a
showman, about forty years ago, caused
a great deal of talk at the time. Bar
num now tells the story, according to a
correspondent of the Indianapolis Jour
nal, as follows: "Moses Kimball came
from Boston with what he declared
was a genuine mermaid. The lower
part was the tail of a shark or some
iargo fish, but the upper part was not of
woman's form by any manner of means.
It was.a hideous head and shoulders
apparently of some sort of ape. Pretty
soon a letter was written from Mobile
to the Herald with the announcement
that a man had landed there from the
Sandwich Islands, bringing a genuine
mermaid. It had not been seen and
would not be exhibited, for it was on its
way to tne London Zoological ixardens.
This was copied all over the country.
In another week a letter from Charles
ton announced that the wonder had ar
rived there, on its way to New York,
whence it would sail to London. A more
detailed account of the creature was
given. This served to swell the curi
osity. From Baltimore came still other
letters; and then 1 sent my man to
Philadelphia, carrying the mermaid in a
close box. He put up at the best hotel,
and cultivated the landlord. To him,,
jost as he was paying his bill and leav
ing, he confided the secret that he was
the Englishman who had caught the
mermaia. 'Now, see here,' said the
landlord, 'you must let me see it.'
After much persuasion the mermaid
hunter yielded. Then he said-'See
here, you mast let me show it to one or
two reporters.' After more importu
nity the weak Britisher yielded, and a
limited exhibition was permitted. The
Philadelphia papers biased with it next
morning. The next day it was brought
to New York, and the same perform
ance was gone through with at the
Astor House. The papers were full of
it, and the city was sul agog. Thou
sands flocked to ee it, but no exhibi
tion was allowed, except to reporters.
I was not known in connection with it
until the proper time."

A Striking Resemblance.
We once told a story of two Shakers
down East who so nearly resembled one
another in certain characteristics. Hore
is anothor somewhat like uuto it -a
story of two brothers, who wore law
yers, and practicing in the same town
which is certainly worth telling:
A certain gentleman requiring legal
assistance had been recommended to
one of the two brothers, but had forgot
ten the Christian name of "him he
sought, so he called at the office of tho
one first found and asked for Mr.
Podger.
" That is my name, sir."
"But there are two of you of that
name here in town?"
"Yes."
"Well, I wish to consult tho Mr.
Podger excuse me for the allusion

" Wc both wear wigs, sir."
" Well, the man I seok was divorced
from his wife not long ago."
"There you hit us both again, sir."

forgeiy, though, I trust, unjustly."
"There we are again, my uear ir.
Wo have both had that gentle insinua
tion laid at our doors."
"Well, upon my word, you two
brothers bear a striking resemblance.
But I guess I have it now. The one I
am after is in the liabit of occasionally
drinking to excess sometimes to intox
ication. " Mv dear man, that little vice is, un
fortunately, characteristic of tho pair of
us; and I doubt if our best friends could
tell you which was the worst."
" Well, you are a matched pair, cer
tainly. But tell me," continued tho
visitor, " which of the twain it was that

months ago?"
"Ha, ha, wc were both in that mud
dle. I was on Bob's paper and he was
on mine."
"In mercy's name!" cried the ap
plicant desperately, " will you tell me
which of the two is tho most sensible
man?"
"Ah, there you touch bottom, my
friend. Poor Bob, I can't stretch the

A Fish Caught in a Bey's Ear.
A most horrible case of suffering is
reported from No. 422 Walnut street,
this city. Tho name of the victim is
George Whitman, son of Howard Whit
man, aged fourteen years. His suffer
ings were terrible in tho extreme, and the
pain and agony endured by him almost
drove him mad. Young Whitman, in
company with a number of boys about
his own age, had been in tbo habit of
bathing in the Schuylkill, and since va
cation commenced" has gone in tho
water several times a day. Three weeks
ago he was in swimming with several
of his companions, and while diving he
experienced a tickling sensation in one
of his ears. Directly after he had a lit
tle pain, but it was only momentary, and
soon passed away. He probed for the
object with a sharp piece of wood, but
could find nothing. Ho dressed and
went home, and no more attention was
Eaid to the matter. Some time after he
ad a terrible headache, and from that
time up to within a few days ago he ex
perienced nothing but an unceasing
agony. The boy is naturally small and
delicate for his age. and the awful
strain upon his nervous system was
enough to greatly reduce him and ren
der Tiim almost crazy. Sometimes there
was a slight alleviation, but it invaria
bly returned, and always with increas
ing pain. No physician was employed,
his parents thinking he was afflicted
with nothing but earache. The agony
increased, and the boy passed many a
sleepless night. His eye lost 'its
brilliancy, . and his cheeks their
rosy, healthful hue. Laudanum was

penealeTby the frequent application of

recommended. The animal was ob
tained, and a lot of fat rendered. This
brought no relief, and only greater and
snore horrible suffering. Matters went
on in this way for over two weeks. It
was now thought that the boy was
afflicted with neuralgia, because he only
experienced the pant in fits and starts.
When it first commenced the one side
of his nead felt as if .some small object
was wriggling and twisting in his ear.
During this tame he often thought the
top of his head was about bursting
open. The properties of molasses to
"draw" are well known, and a drop
was poured into his ear. At eleven

Pilfering of French Servants.
An American lady died in a privato
hospital in Paris. She was well-to-do
in the world, possessed a handsome
wardrobe and no inconsiderable amount
of jewelry. When her trunks frere
forwarded to her friends every article
of any value had disappeared. There
was not a piece of jewelry of any kind
to bo found, not oven her watch. All
smaller articles, such as laces, hand
kerchiefs, stockings, etc., were miss
ing. Some hours had undoubtedly been
permitted to elapse between the time
of her death and that of the allixing
of the seals, and the time had heen made
good use of. Then there was a case
that showed an audacity at pilfering al
togther uncommon, even on the part of
a French servant, which took place at
one of tho fashionable Parisian hotels
some timo ago. An American lady,
who was in delicate health, but who
was by no means considered an invalid
either by her friends or herself, died
suddenly from some malady of the
heart duringthc temporary absence of
her husband in America. This lady
fiossessed a head of hair of unwonted
uxurianceaud beauty, the long," thick
tresses when loosened falling almost to
tho floor when she stood up, although
she was by no means a short woman.
When the body avsis prepared for inter
ment, a few hours after her sudden de
mise, every vestigo of this marvelous
hair had disappeared, and it AA'as with
difficulty that a friend of the family
who was present contrived to secure a
lock of sufficient dimensions to fill a
locket as a relic for the absent hus
band. Suspicion naturally pointed to
the favorite French maid of the de

cious and sacrilegious theft, but there
Avas no positive proof of her guilt.
There wore other persons who had ac

his pets, from dried gorillas to living
creatures of every sort. He sits in
John Hunter's chair, regardless of un
comfortable angles, and considers it
more delightful than the downiest of
couches without historical interest;
and the angles, too, are so convenient
for the monkeys. They can sit 'aloft

For use ia telegraphy, aluaniaum is
fooad to possess double the conducting
power of iron, and it can be made into
extremely thin wires. Tne high price
of the metal and the difficulty of large
production are, of course, great ob
stacles in the way. But, as appears
from the technical Journals, it caa at
least be produced in quantities suffi
cient to give aa alloy with iron suit
able for use as a telegraph wire,
thinner and better condnctmg than the
ordinary Avire. The light weight of
such woe gives it a special value for
certain purposes. With regard to the
production of aluminum m quantity
sufficient for the purpose, it is thought
that the tolerably abundant chrysolite

Here are two anecdotes that recently
drifted past on the stream of chit-chat
at a dinner party. An American gen
tleman, while taking a walk in London
one day, chanced to behold in a gro
cer's window an immense pile of hams
stamped with the name and address of
& dealer in Chicago, while overhead
hung a placard inscribed: "Best Cana
dian hams one shilling and six pence
per pound." The proprietor of tne es
tablishment chanced to come to the
door, and the gentleman called his at
tention to the incongruity of selling
Chicago hams as a Canadian product,
"Ah, yes, yes!" exclaimed the grocer
with an air of conviction, "Chicago is
one of the United States: I had forgot
ten that." Next comes the story of an
Illiterate dame who possessed a very
fine gallery of pictures, including spe
cimens of the old masters as well' as of
the modern school. She was one day
engaged in showing off her art treas
ures to a visitor, seasoning her dis
course with small facts relative to the
artists whose works she possessed.
"Now, that picture," she si-id. pointing
to a large mythological scene, "that's

There are certain obstacles in every
path that can be overcome only by the
presence of self-confidence. Thenf are
outward hindrances to encounter, oppo
sition to meet, difficulties to surmount,
prejudices to sweep away, the very
presence of which will terrify and appal
the wavering and despondent, while
they will melt away before the firm,
dignity of self-respect and self-reliance.
There are also the innumerable obstacles
within, inclinations to curb, passions to
restrain, desires to guide, temptations
to resist; these also need not only
power to deal with them, but a
tideace in that power that caa
Osaka it elective.

Chaaging Seed.
TnERE seems to bo no idea so thor
oughly believed in by experienced farm
erethan that it is a jrrcat benefit U
to
change seed occasionally; vet it is by
no means an indisputed fact, and we
know of some intelligent men, indeed,
some who stand among the most thor
oughly educated and experienced in the
farming business who contend that this
supposed necessity for a change of seed
is entirely imaginary.
We confess to a sympathy Avith those
who think an occasional change neces
sary; and yet we have so often found,
in tho light of a new and carcful"ex
perience, that even practices very time
nonored came to be abandoned, that
we are always willing to reconsider anv
opinion, no "matter now strongly held.
The change is thought to be particular
ly useful in potatoes, and a change of
seed in this article is generally made as
regularly as crops are rotated from year
to year. But one of our friends is Tery
emphatic in regard to the potato, that
no change of seed is required. He has
had one potato that is one variety of
potato year after year for ten years,
and they are as good as ever. In his
opinion it is not that a variety is sick of
the ground that it sometimes gives out;
but that it is diseased from ordinary
unhealthy causes. It hi simply a
change of an unhealthy stock for a
healthy one, and not a wearing out of a
variety.
The matter has a practical impor
tance, as people often put themselves
to a great deal of trouble and expense
in order to make a change in the seed.
If the suggestion made be in the line
of a true reason for the supposed bene
fits of change, proper care ia saving
healthy seed trill be as good as a
change. But we most be satisfied that
the suggestion is correct and that the
truth lies in the few experixBents made.
There are two sides, and sometimes
several sides, to all questions of this
nature. We have personal knowledge
of trials made by fanners forty aad
fifty years ago. when the varieties of
potatoes generally cultivated by our
oast fanners were comparatively few
to what they are now. aad whose crops,
in usiag the sasse seed year after year,
became poorer and poorer, tboarMbv
there was no apparent diseaserajsdM
onlv remedy they had was artchaafe of
seed. Sometimes it wosthe sasse
variety obtained several haadreds of
miles awav fromJthe State of Maiae,
for instance and'the yield was double.
