Strolling about in quest of the ever de sired item , a reporter forthcliuidroppcil yesterday into the Omahn Medical and Surgical institute at the corner of Thir teenth street and Capitol avenue. The srribe was affably received by Dr. Me- Meiuuny , the proprietor , and a tour tliiotigh the itistitutu revealed many 1'oints ' of interest , which arc sketched below. Desiring to learn something of the wonderful subject of electricity in its medical u e , the reporter engaireil ith with Dr. McMenamy in an interesting conversation on that topic. ' 1 he doctor , lirsl of all exhibited a new Galvanic I'aradic battery of which he may v ell be proud. It i < < an apparatus of ele gant construction , called a Cabinet bat- I. . ry , and conioiiie all the latest improve- UK iits and inventions in medical elec tricity. It was manufactured especially fur the Omaha Medical institute anil is said by the manufacturers to bo the mo t complete iude\ioiisi\e | one ever shipped wi't. All the batteries the scribe had ever seen were tojs .compared to this Iienutifnl gem of the medico-electric art. Dr. McMcnam.y is thoroughly ] ) os-tod in the medical application of elct trieity tor the cure of distisc ( , ami perfectIj familiar with its workings , lie became so inter ested in explaining the new instrument that he olleied to soothe the reporter to sleep , cause sparks ot lire to lly before his eves and fiom his hair , or blow him through the window. Hut as ho had no tlesite lo become a sleeping beaiily , an electric light or explosive torpedo , the re porter declined vvitli thanks much to the doctor's disappointment. The reporter however assured the doctor that he was fully convinced without further demon stration that ho was an accomplished dec- tilcian.nnd could ellect cures by that means if any one on caith could. Hesides this bailer , * ) for olliee use at the institute , Dr. MeMeiiany has just clo-ed a contract with an eastern firm lo inanu- laeluro for him one hundred batteries , so arranged that tlie patients can use them at home who are unable to visit the iiisti- till' ) for tieatnient "Hy contracting tor a large number Ilk ) every three months , " said the doctor , " 1 am able lo furnish them al a lower price * than a llr t-class battery has ever been sold lie- tore , either at wholesale or retail. Though they are superior to most . "i.OO batteries , 1 can sell ( and I warrant them for one year ) , tor Sl'.O' ) , boxed and shipped to any address. Any person can operate them by following directions in u little book 1 have published , to accom pany each battery , o.xplaininir ever * ) thing nece' ary for the home treatment of any disease w Inch can bo cured by elec tricity. " 'J'he reporter also examined this battery for homo use , and was surprised that so line an instrument could be made and sold at the price .stated. As the doctor remarked , a properly con structed battery , by which a cur- iciit can be regulated and applied lethe the part requiring it , furnishes the only means ot using electricity. All belt-pads and npplhmccg are simply interesting tov. Mill will In the end disappoint the o who look to them for robot' . ] } ' 'Doctor , " asked the reporter , _ "has electricity fully established its claim to be-in * ; considered : i healing power ! " "Yes , it is fast doing so. Kvor.ywliDre the value of electricity in building up and he.iling the shattered svstem is securing - ' curing recognition. Vo lind , however , that in advocating' ' the Use of electricity in it various forms for the cure ol diseased or unnatural con ditions of the human bod.i , we have to c ml it tin1 tenc-ninci and pr < ju'liti of unediic-nted ph. e.ans more than in am other branch of medicine. It i hnrdlj nec'p snry for me to fls ort Hint no om ' can bo p'rrlicicul in any department of science without at the aiue tune Inning n thorough untli'r tinding of its founda tion principles ; jet 1 Imd doctor * declaring claring , 'There's nothing in Klrctriel ty , " who are and will admit that they are perfectly ignorant of the le'iiliug principle * of electrophj ie , or eloetro-therapoutie , and. if possible , mole ignorant of thu practical workings of tins' great principle of power that luis made itself felt in every branch of - science ence and mechanics by mean1' of which the < c born denf are made to hear.

' "Mr. IllnicliniiKli'q Answer to Mr. Hell's Ccltklsin. To the Hi.n My nttention h.i < been cnlled to nn article in the Herald la t week , bj John T Hell , in which he criti cises my at tide , which jou < o kindly copied in the moining edition of lo-ilnj' * HI.I. , from the Chi istmns number of the KxeoUior. In sa.Miig thnt no mnrried man honld ever run m debt except on account of sickms * in his family , 1 did not mean in wa.v of investment in partial payments - for'that would apply to what a man hail already nved in way of la.vlng up - something thing every week , nml to invest such judiciously in leal estate or otherwise , proves In nine times out of ten to be equal to or bolter than depositing in a saving * bank , which has been such a blessing to many. Hut what 1 did mean to convey in thnt part of my ninth rule in that article wn , that no married man should ever run in debt for hi. * and hi * famil.v s daily livinir , except in case of sicklies * in the family. I think if trieiitl Hell will reread and slop to think before condemning , he will see clearly thnt 1 vva driv iug at the ru- inou * practice of those who earn their blend by the sweat of their brow , daily running up bills -groceries , meat , dry hoods , clothing , fuel , etc. , etc. , thereby / ringing upon themselves poverty and want , when practical economy would so soon drive poverty from their doors , by following this new lido in family ex- peiise * , "Pay as jon go , " even if yon have to for a time live on corn bread and rice. Poor people must icsort to this economy or nine out of ten of them must alwa.vs remain poor. 1 am hnpity to .state ill thi * connection that uiau.v Iinvo lhankcd me for that arti cle , widen was so meager ii only out lining such a great and important sub ject both for want of lime nml space , and 1 will add that to my surprise n million aire and great business man m tlie east , who in some vva-i fell upon myailielein the IXceMor , writes me personally thai I could not in any way leave a monument so lasting as such chapters of good ad vice , as tlie.v will hist as long as time it self because they are truth. So , if my feeble ellorl accomplishes a little good , L shall feel repaid. 1 think if the masses would take my theor.v there would be less di. pepsin and communism would soon be unknown in our lair land , as the ma jority of tho-o who now feel ag grieved would soon be prosper ous even though they might at times luno to submit to low wages. 1 do not ask any one to endure what 1 have not , ami for the eiicotiragemenl of those inclined to give up in despair I will say that I commenced for mj.selt by working tor seven dollar.s a month , when 1 was n voting man of 18 years , which was the noted cold winter ol IM ? and 1858. I lived at I'onlanelle , Nebraska , then the largest inland town of the state , ami dur ing the greater part of that exceedingly cold winter , I walked two miles lo and troin a grove of cot ton wood limber on tlio Klkhorn south of l-'ontanelle , belonging to Sam Francis , and cut coltonvrood lives up into saw log * and cord wood ior htm , the former at 0110 cent an inch diameter measure across the top of each log , and the latter at one dollar a cord. The next winter 1 worked for my board at a hotel and lived principally on bacon and corn meal cooked in various ways , and not tasting wheat bread or biscuit or potatoes lor si.xty days of that time , ami yet I anil otheis were happy. J believe the laborer is worthy of his liiro and should bo well paid , bill them is no reason why men should band together so olten and crush the very business that is their only chance of .sustenance. Capital and labor should be regulated by reasoning together in stead of clashing and trjmg on cither side to force submission. licsiieetfullv , L' . C. liiMiiiAfiiii. : A XCKI-O Crank Shot. ST.

It is further alleged that hanging tlid not keep ItooUwalter no-led as to the grow th of Lincoln , and the ad vance in price of n al estate ; that pr.or to this pictcndcd sale Lansing had been of fried JU.OOO for the block in dispute and knew it was worth at least $11,000. Hookwalter asks that Lansing be enjoined from selling erin in any way disposing ol the ] > roporly during the pendency of this action , ami that llie court will order Ihe deed * Iroin Hookwalter to Dellinbaugh , ami from the latter to Lansing cancelled , anil the propel ty conveved back to plaiutill' . Mr. Hookwalter was questioned before leaving tow n ji-stciday as to how he tb covered the alleged wrong-doing , ami s.iid his suspicions were liiM aroused by a note from lev. ! Louis ( 'rogor.v , pastor of the Congregational church in this city. In Se i it i1 m be r last Mr. ( Sngory barg.iiiied vvitli Lansing to buy from Kookwaltcr lor Mr. Leavitt , a parishioner , lot ; , 10 , 11 and I,1 , in block -.W , for i ? . ' , 100.

The deed was sent on for Hookwallor's signature , thu terms being ! ? lOUOe.i.sh and 1,400 on mortgage. 15e- lore thu ileed was returned Leavitt bail an oiler from a Mr. Saiilslniry of S'J.OUO for the property. Lansing heard ol it , and , so , it is claimed , went to t'regory ami said ho * . * : uf s-cd he would slop tin- sale from Hookwalter unless they paid him an additional ! < ! ( M commission , llather than lose the bargain , Leav.tt jiaitl the SIOO. Hookwaller's bankciv. al SDi-inglield , in drawing for the cash p.i.v nicnl , made tlie dralt , by error , on ( Jreg- ory instead of Lansing , as bail been cus tomary.

This led to the investigation now in pi-ogres , . Mr. Lansing was a caller at the Ur.i : olliee yesterday , and in a iiuit-t , < entle- manly'wav slioiigly as-erteil that no hail done nothing wrong , and protested against being run down by men whom ho claimed were .simply Irving to squeeze some money out ol him. He said he had no detailed statement to make , as he had not employed a law.ver as yet , and didn't even know-just what Hookvvaller alleged in his petition * He said he had received a note from Hookvvaller inviting him to call at the olliee of Messrs. Harwooil , Ames iVr Kelly and talk the matter over with n view to settlement. To this ho replied sa.vinir he had aotod squarely and honorably in all his In iisaclion's with Mr. liookwaltor anil had nothing to compromise , and that if the latter wanted te sen him lie could bo found at his olliee where he would be pleased to explain every deal made. Mr. Lansing informed the Hu : repri'sentalive that lie hail no grievance against against this paper , but that he tlid feel ver.v much surprised and annoyed at what I'm con sidered the treacherous conduct of cer tain Lincoln men with whom he did nearly all his linaiu-ial business , and would call on them for an explanation.
