In its treatment of the state law concern

The display of pharmaceutical goods
wrs not so extensive and varied aa was
hoped , but what there was proved to bo
very cridltnblo ,
The ilnust was the one made by Parko ,
Davis & Co. , of Detroit , and rras in
charge of their able representative ,
George 13. Thompson. Thn articles wore
very tastefully arranged and consisted of
rare crude drtnn , gollatlu coated pills ,
empty and filled capsules , hard and soft ,
oloatoa of copper , iron , alumlum , zinc ,
etc , compressed tablets , lozenges , flav
ored and medicated , desslcatod blood and

articles.
Frederick , Stearns & Co , also of De
troit , made n fine display of their goods ,
especially of the non-secret medicines , of
which they are the originators. They
have also a largo number of phnrmacau-
tlcal preparations , ilald extracts , gelatine
coated pills , powdered goods , etc. , and
their display was In charge of D. M.
Gray.

The "Carnival of Nations" opened In
Masonic hall very euccceefaUy last proa-

is certainly ono of the moat novel and
pleasing over presented in this city. The
booths looked like bowers , and the many
and varied coatnmea presented a ssono
which could not but interest
and please. The ladloo have
evidently spent much time , Jnbor , and
money In preparing these many attractive
features , and they certainly merit a lib

Whllo traveling In Europe last spring
I spent a few months In Paris , and ono
night accepted an Invitation to take din
ner at the house of n physician who , al
though an American , has made that city
his homo , and has acquired a continental
reputation. When I say that ho Is n
Baltlmoroan , and that ho spent sovornl
years in the service ot a foreign poten
tate now in exile and dlcgraco , from
whom ho received the title of which ho
jonrs , my readers can form a shrewd idea
as to his Identity. The company I was
naked to meet was a very distinguished
one. There was a United States senator
rom lork state , a member of the
French senate , who held an im
portant position at the cdtirt of Napoleon
ill , but had now thrown In his fortunes
with the rogubllc ; a celebrated English
lovclist , a famous comedian fromThoater
Francalso , two of the most distinguished
of the Forty Immortalsand a member of
the academy of sciences whoeo work on
psychology are known all over Europe.
[ t will thus bo soon how pleasant the
; atherng ! must have boon , and how ,
inder the genial Influence of our host's
3urgandy , the conversation spread over
L wide field in literature , art nnd science.
Naturally It drifted into obstrnso psycho-
ugical subjects , and the fact that several
of the guests Tforo materialists did not
irovont the starting of a discussion on
ho forma of mind and nutter , and the
possibility of a sentiment condition oven
ifter the principle of llfo has loft his
> od .
Incidents wore cited as having been
ocordcd by witnesses In which , after
serpents and eels had been cut into
unull portions and the vital parts aoem-
ngly destroyed , the various portions
seemed to bo endowed with llfo and
vitality ; and a case -was mentioned , well
scown In medical jurisprudence , iu
which a man , an Inordinate gambler ,
rho was about to bo beheaded for a
icnioua crime , begged aa n last request
, o bo allowed to play a game of piquet
irlth ono of the soldiers who was gnard-
ng him. The officer in command
inmorod him , and tbo game began
Both were export players , but just m the
doomed man was about to lay down a
card which would have aottlod the con
test , the officer made a sign to the ex
ecutioner. That functuary lifted bis
sword , and , with ono stroke severed the
wretch's head from his body , and as the
bastly object fell to the ground , the lips
were coen to move , nnd from them were
iicard to come , In clear , distinct tones ,
"I have woi the gamo. "
Up until this tlmo the member of the
Academy of Sciences , whom I will call
M . Jour X , had been an attentive lla-
enor , but ho now interposed and said ,
' Gentlemen , I can toll you something
oven moro wonderful than this , and
something which , on account of the
sourca from which the story oamo to mo ,
ncredlblo as it may appear to you , I
cinnot but believe. My grandfather was
a physician In this city during the terri-
jlo scenes of the revolution of 1789. Ho
was an ardent student and a successful
experimentalist. One of his most inti
mate friends was a young Englishman ,
who was also studying medicine. They
iad tastes In common and were almost
nsoparablo. Imbued with monarchical
doas , this young man could not see In
, ho revolution that men were fighting to
overthrow tyranny , and after the manner
of his countrymen , ho opnnly and boldly
denounced them. lleports of his utter
ances were carried to the committee of
safety. Ho was arrested ,
: akon before the dreaded Robes
pierre and sentenced to the guillotine.
3n the night before the oxccation my
grandfather , who had considerable politi
cal Influence , was granted permission to
visit him in his cell in the prison of L %
Concierge. The interview was a long
ono. The young man 'S' wo will call
! ilm waa bravo and nonchaltnt , and ,
after a long metaphysical argument , my
grandfather Bald to him : 'I have long
wanted to provo if consciousness and the
ability to act remain any time after death.
Let mo take this proposition : I will bo
present and near you at your execution
to-morrorr ; my profession and my rela
tion to the committee of aifoty give mo
unnsatl privileges. The mcmont your
head falls into the basket I will lift it np ,
and if you know mo and still have the
power of action , yon will clojo your loft
aye three times. ' The doomed man
hughlngly agreed , the compact was
scaled , and the tire friends bade each
other an affectionate farewell.
"Morning dawned on tlio prison , and
ns each victim's number was read out ho
took his place In the tumbiil and was
carried to the so3119 of lib elocution.
The young Englishman waa there , so waa
my gmidtather. Head after head fell ;
then came the turn of'S. ' Ho placed his
bead beneath the knife , which flashed
downward , and the head dropped into
the basket. My grandfather could hard
ly repress a shudder ; but true to Ills
promise and his thrlst for knowledge , 'ho
picked it up and held the face to him.
A film seemed to bo gathering over his
eyca , but suddenly the left ore closed
then opened , Did his sense dccolvo
| ilm ? No ! it closed again. Once moro
it opoced ; again It closed. It opened
again. The experiment was complete.
Just then , as ho was about to lay the head
reverently down , he thought ho saw a
smile hover around the mouth. The next
moment the lips parted , and in an audi
ble whisper came the words : 'If yon
could only got mo a wlno glass full of
Duffy's malt whiskey I think I could
keep this np for bnlf an hour longer ? ' "
AND BURGLAR ,
A Hold Thief In Milwaukee Apolo
gizes lor the Intrusion ,
A Milwaukee dispatch says : Daring
the past tbreo weeks a number of the
moat daring and audacious burglaries
ever known In Milwaukee have been at
tempted , although no very successful
hanli have been made by tbo midnight
Intruders. The last venture , which from
Its many dramatic situations has created
no little excitement In the city , occurred
* t the residence of Charles Ray , a mil
lionaire and one of the moat prominent
members of the chamber of commerce
Bis great house , which is located on
Prospect avenue , In the aristocratic sec
tion of the city , la one of the most pala
tial and imposing In outer appearance of
my to bo found In the northwest , and In
oleganca of interior finish and furnishing
dxctli all others In the Cream City. All
mcdern Improvements are provided , oven
to a complete system of burglar alarms ,
bnt the latter has not been Let for opera
tion for nearly a year.
Shortly after 2 o'clock Thursday morn
ing two of Mr. Ray's torvant girls weio
Awaktned by the presence of masked
man in their room. Ho qnletly ordered
them to make no disturbance , but to show
him to the deeping apartment of Mrs.
Ray , inform her that ono of the servants
was very 111 , and thus get the door of the
room oponnd. Mrs , Rny readily responded
spondod to the trembling voica of the
servant , and the Instant tbo door was
opened the masked man , with dark-lan
tern and revolver , slipped Inside. Mr.
Ray had now been awakoncd , bnt , like
the other members of his household , ho
found himself confronted with the flish
of a lantern and a hungry-looking muzzle
of a revolver.
"Como , Charley , " said the burglar ,
"hustle out what money and valuables
you have handy. I'm In a hurry , "
Argument or resistance appeared useless -
loss and Mr.Rty responded with assumed
choerfalnest. When nil the pockets had
been emptied into the burglar's commo
dious bag , the Inventory Including money. .
Mr. Ray s gold watch and chain , bits of
jewelry , oto , In all about $ " 00. "Char
ley" was ordered to show the visitor the
way to thu door , that individual explain
ing that ho had entered by D window ,
but preferred to depart llko a gentleman ,
Said he to MM. Ray ns ho Was about to
depart :
"I beg your pardon , madam , for dis
turblng yon at this late hour for the
trifling amount that I have secured , but
it has to ba done In our busenott , and
ho pasted through the door into the dark *
ness of night. Ho was in genteel dress ,
but no clew whatever cm bo obtained of
his identity. This evening Mr. Riy
said : "I regret I didn't ask for his card
I verily believe ho would have given it to
mo. " Before entering the IIOUPO the
gentlemanly visitor had cut both tele
phone and police alarm wires , so that no
alarm could be sent out byanymombo ;
of the household , which was attempted
by a sorvont while Mr. Ray waa enter
taining his guest.
Prinuo Bismarck's Inuomo ,
Prince Bismarck's private affairs have
just been investigated by the committee
charged to purchase his ancestral estite
of Schonhanten , in Alt mark as a national
present to the prince on his seventieth
birthday. The revenue of the estate of
Yarzln , in Pomerania , ( presented to
Prince Bismarck by the nation in 1807) )
is nearly 2,000 a yoar. Tlio great
Forest property of Friedrichsrnho , in
L&uonlnir , ' , was presented to the prince
in 1871- The timber on the estate bring
in 4,000 a yearand the farms about 1-
200. The rental ofSchonhouson is 1,000
a year. Prince Bismarck has erected
axtemlvo prper mills and manufactories
both at Yarzln and Frlcdiicbsrucho , and
these have proved very successful , and
bring him in nearly 10,000 ponnds a
year. His annual Income , therefore is
upward of 18,000 , exclusive of bis sal
ary aa chancellor ( 2,700 and allow
ance ) and his pennon of 150 as a for
mer minister of Lanonburg. The prince
is a most enterprising landlord , and has
greatly Increased the value of his estates
by judicious improvements. Ho Is as
"thorough" in the management of his
private affairs as in his public adminis
tration.
Origin of Sonic "Words ,
The word "pamphlet" Is derived from
the name of a Greek authoress , Pampby-
lia , who compiled a history of the world
in thirty-five little books. ' 'Punch and
Jndy" is a contraction from Pontius
and Judar. It is a relic of an old "mira
cle play , " in which the aotors were
Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscarlot.
"Bigot" is from Visigoths , In which the
fierce and intolerant Arlanlsm of Vlei-
goth , conqueror of Spain , ia handed
down to infamy. "Humbug" is from
Hamburg , "a piece of Hamburg news"
waa In Germany a proverbial expression
for false political rumors. "Gauzo" do-
rlvea its name from Gazi , whcro it was
first made. 'Tabby cat" la all uncon
scious that her name Is derived from
Atab , a famous street in Bagdad inhabi
ted by the manufacturers of silken shifts
called atabl , or taflety , the wavy mark
ings of the watered silks resembling
pussy's coat. "Old Scratch" is the de
mon Skr&tti , who etill survives In tbo
superstitions of Northern Europe. "Old
Nick" is none other than Nikir , the dan
gerous water demon cf Scandinavian le
gend. The lemon takes its nnmo from
the city of Lima.

WafhingtonN. ( C. ) Gazette-
Some time ago a negro was hanged in
Greenville. Slnco ihon an enterprising
colored brother haa been selling alleged
strands of the hangman'd rope to cure
fits. A strand long enough to go ronni
the nobk is sold for 25 cento. Ic is said
that the happy possessor of the rope finds
eager purchasers lioro every matnrday
evening , and , of course , his country
custom mint bo large. Another negro
lias Dion this and gone
ono batter. Ho has been to
Washington city recently and claims to
Imvohadn talk with President Cleveland.
He tolls the darkles that the president
authorized him to find out all the colored
men ( n Pitt county who voted f jr him ,
and to all such who will send him a bri
dle he will forward a mule. The male
will correspond with the bridle ; the bet
ter the bridle the better the mule , The
president appointed this obcn-hnod citi
zen bridle collector and mnlo distributor ,
and when the first lot of 100 bridles is
sent on to Washington the males will be
forwarded. It is said that ovoi fifty
bridles have so far been collected by this
precious rascal. They are now , and cost
from 70 cents to $1,25 a piece.
Disadvantages of Patronage ,
New York Evening Post ,
A government for the benefit of tbo
politicians never satisfies oven the poli
ticians , simply because there are never
spoils enough to go around. The rceult
was that before Its downfall the repub
lican party in almost every state was
split into two or moro factions , which
usually fought each other moro bitterly
than they did the dnmocrats. The fact
that In moro than one state the republi
cans urotc-d ycongratulating themselves
upon tbeir improved chances of victory
became they no longer have the offices
to quarrel over la the most eloquent
answer that could possibly be made to
the plea that patronage will build np a
party better than principles.

"Somo Ono 31ns Blttnilorcdtt--C n I
Bo Possible ?
The Now York Herald says : "If Gen
"oral Grant should recover from a dis
"oaso which should provo not to havi
"boon what It has boon described , then
"his medical attendants * * will be
"expected to explain the reasons for oni
"of the most remarkable instances o
"discrepancy over recounted In the hle-
"tory of medical practice. "
The other day an eminent yonngphysi
clan In the last stapes oi consumption
unable longer to talk , called for pen anc
paper and dlstlctly wrnto this advice to
his physicians : "Make dying comfort
able "
This seems to have been the solo pur
pose of General Grant's attending physi
cians. They were making dying com
fortable , but they were not curing their
patient. Ho amazes them by getting
bettor ! I
The utter failure rightly to dlaijnoso
nnd properly to treat Gon. Grant's dis
order was a serious blunder , emphasizing
what haa BO often bean said , that pro-
fes'sanal ' treatment , bolng purely experi
mental , Is just as likely to bo wrong as
right.Had
Had the general an ulcar on his arm
the physicians would have treated It
scientifically , very scientifically. Ho
might hove recovered or they might have
cut his arm oil' . Some dear old soul of s
grandmother , however , might hava
treated the epro by some "old woman'o
remedy" and healed it , but thcro would
have boon no "professional science" In
such a proceeding , as her remedy wouli
not bo ono recognized by the code !
The general's physicians excuse them
eclvoj , wo are told , because the condition
of the throat was hidden from sight.
There are thousands of cases whore dis
ease Is hidden from sight , whore the
symptons are very obicuro and conflict
Ing. The physicians will trcni overyday's
Symplons but they do not euro , and
finally the patient dies. Then they dis
cover they have made a mistake I A horrible
rible mistake I The other day a promi
nent merchant in a neighboring city was
found dead In bod. A post mortem cx-
vmiuatiou revealed the fact that ono of
its other vital organs was entirely de
cayed , and yet his physicians had been
xeatlng him for heart ditoase.
Some ono has blundered.
For weeks the American public have
: oen waiting the unwelcome tidings of
3 oral Grant's death , the
on To-day , gen
eral Is np nnd around and riding out.
People gat well often in spite of what
their doctors lay and do. Why ? By
will power1 ? No. By faith ? No.
They live because outaldo the medical
profession and medical pretense there
uo effective remedial agencies In nature
which , though "nnrecoRnlzad" by the
code , have supreme power over disease ,
and in thousands of cisoa win triumphs
whcro the so called scientific treatment
utterly fails.
A prominent ex-cnblnct o Dicer Is to-day
011 the very verge of the grave , suffering
From an extreme disorder of the liver.
Qls doctors know they cannot cnro him.
They simply are making dying comfor
table.
The agony of death in many cases is
read by surrounding friends in screams of
piln , in convulsions of none , in spasms
3f toitaro the fixed eye , the chilly
breath , the dreadful coughing , the
bloody sweat the supreme Inflictions _ of
pitiless disease upon a helpless body in
dicate the limlcitlons of professional
skill. "
Sbvon-tenths of the deaths of this
country every year are from hopptlc and
renal disorders , over which physicians
bavo so little power. They will give
this , that and the other thing to make
dying comfortable , bnt they know they
cannot care and yet they will not pnrtnlt
the use of remedies "unauthorized" by
their code , whether they are allopathic or
homeopathic. If the system , as la com
mon at this time of the year , has no tone ,
and ono has tired and depressed feelings ,
the doctor will toll you that the blood
needs purifying , but ho will not tell you ,
what ho knorrs to bo true , that the blood
is impure because the liver and kidneys
are not performing tho'r ' blood-purifying
functions.
The failure of the physicians in Gen.
Grant's case ought to have an eye-open
ing effect upon the public. It ought to
see the futility of trusting entirely In a
profession whose practice ia so largely
experimental. The test of merit is suc
cess , and when any agency has won a
record proved by the testimony of prom
inent men and women in all ranks of
society , it stands to reason that such a
preparation is worthy of universal con
fidence. Who has iiot heard of It ? Who
has not used it ? Who can gainsay the
statement that It has wrought greater
benefit for mankind than anything over
dissevered insldo the ranks of the med
ical profession ? And yet many
physician who are bound hand and
foot to their code will not allow nor will
; hey prescribe the use of Warner's Safe
cure. Nevertheless , spite of their smnU-
nlndod bigotry , it multiplies Instances of
, ts singular merit by thousands every
day , rests eatltfied with the record-it hai
won , and challenges comparison with the
record of the most reputable physician.
It Is a terrible thing to lose our friends ,
especially If wo find out ofterwords that
they might have been baved ,
Vv o are glad that Gen. Grant is getting
well. Ho deserves to llvo and in living
lie will emphasize the fact that physicians
do not have a monopoly overdisease ; that
"scientific medicine , " so called , Is not in
fallible ; that all remedial agencies were
not born with doctors and will not die
with them.
