iTALMAUE ON NEWSPAPERS. Tke Br**klrn Preacher's Views on Joar> ■alisai—The Karts of KresThat a News* paper Has——The ; Blesoinas of a Free Press. On a recent Sunday the Rev. T. De- Witt Talmage preached in the Brooklyn Tabernacle on the influence of news papers, taking two texts for his sermon. One was, “ And the wheels were full of eyes.” He said: “ What but the news paper printing presses have all their wheels full of eyes ? All other wheels are blind. The manufacturer’s wheel sometimes rolls over the operative, fatigued in every nerve and muscle and bone, and sees nothing. But the news paper press has sharp eyes, keen eyes, eyes that look up and down, far-sighted and near-sighted, that take in thg next street and the next hemisphere; eyes of criticism, eyes of investigation, eyes that sparkle with health, eyes glaring with indignation, eyes tender and lov ing, eyes frowning and suspicious, eyes of hope, bine eyes, black eyes, "sore eyes, historical eves, literary eyes, ecclesiastical eyes, eyes of all sorts.” D< ctor Tslmage’s second text was, “For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or hear some new thing.” Doctor Talmage said: “That text gives the cry of the world for a newspaper. In proportion as men become wise they become in quisitive; not about small things, but about greater things. The great ques tion thunders, ‘What is the news ?’ There is a newspaper in Pekin, China, that has been published every week for a thousand years, printed on silk. Rome answered the question with the Acta Diuma. France answered it when her physicians wrote out the news for patients. England answered it by pub lishing an account of the Spanish Ar mada, and its newspaper press went on increasing until the battle of Waterloo, which decided the destinies of nations of Europe, was chronicled in a de scription of a third of a column I America answered the question when Benjamin Harris published the first ween ly newspaper, entitled Public Oc currences, in Boston, in 1690. The first American daily newspaper was pub lished in Philadelphia, in 1784, entitled the American Dai'i/ Advertiser I will give you the genealogical tree of the newspaper. The Adam was the circular; the circu lar begat the pamphlet; the pamphlet begat the quarterly; the quarterly be gat the monthly; the monthly begat the semi-monthly; the semi-monthly begat the weekly; the weekly begat the semi-weekly; the semi-weekly begat the daily. Alas, through what a struggle it came to its present development! As soon as it began to demonstrate its power, superstition and tyranny- shackled it. There is nothing that despotism so much fears as the print ing press. It has too many eyes. Russia, which, considering all the cir cumstances, is the meanest and most cruel despotism nn earth to-day, keeps tho printing press und^r severe espionage. A great writer in tho south of Europe declared that the king of Naples had made it unsafe for him to write on any subject but natural his tory. Austria could not bear Kossuth’s journalistic pen plied for the redemp tion of Hungary. Napoleon I., want ing to keep his iron heel on tho neck of nations, said that a newspaper was a regent of kings, and that the only safe plftOe to keep an editor in was a prison. “ But the great battles of freedom of tho press were fought in tho court rooms of England and the United States. One was when Erskine made his great speech on behalf of the free dom to publish Paine’s ‘ Rights of Man’ in England These battles were the AA»W3.tihifiiip. \Iai.\ XUv—t which determined thatf not to be given over to ban hobbles of literary and political despot ism. Thomas Jetfcrson said : ‘If I had to choose between a government with out newspapers and newspapers with out government, I would employ the latter.’ “Stung by some fabrication in print, we talk of the unbridled press. Our now book is ground up by unjust criti cism, and we talk of the unfair press. Through some indistinctness of our ut terance we are reported as saying just the opposite of what wo did say, and wo talk of the blundering press. We take up a newspaper with a social slander or a case of divorce, and we talk of the filthy and scurrilous press. But this morning 1 address you on a subject you have never heard presented—the im measurable, everlasting blessing of a good newspaper. Thank God that their wheels are lull of eyes. I give you this overwhelming statistic : that in the year 1880 the number of conies of literary and political newspapers published in this country was 1,500,- 000,0001 What church, what re former, what Christian man can disre gard these things? I tell you, my friends, that a good newspaper is the grandest blessing that God has given to the people of this century—the grandest ——temporal blessing. The theory is abroad that anybody can make a newspaper with the aid of a capitalist. The fact is that fortunes arc swallowed up every year in the vain effort to establish news papers. We have 7,000 dailies and weeklies in the United State# and Cana das, and only thirty six are half a century old. Tho average life of a newspaper is fire years. Most of them die of cholera infantum. It is high time that it was understood that the most successful , way to sink a fortune and keep it sunk is to start a newspaper. A man with an idea starts the Universal Gazette or Mil lennium Adrucale. Finally the money is all spent, and the subscribers wonder why their papers do not come. Let mo tell you that if you have an idea, either moral, social, political or religious, you had better charge ou the world through the columns already established. If you can t climb your own buck yard fence, don’t try the Matterhorn. If you can’t sail a sloop, don’t try to navigate the Great Eastern. To publish a newspaper requires the skill, precision, vigilance, strategy and boldness of a commander- in-chief. To edit a newspaper one needs to be a statesman, a geographer, a statis tician and so far as all acquisitions ave concerned, encyclorje.lic! If you have a notion to start and publish a newspa per, take it for granted that jou are threatened with softening of the brain. Take your pocketbook and throw it into your wife’s lap. Rush up to Blooming- dale asylum and surrender yonrself be fore you do something desperate. “ Our newspapers are repositories of knowledge and are constantly lifting the people into the sunlight. News- psp?r knowledge makes up the structure of the world’s heart and brain, and decides the fate of churches aud of nations. Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Clinton, all had their hands on the printing press. Most m the good books of the day have come out in periodicals. Macaulay’s essays, Carlyle’s essays, Rnskin’s, Talfourd’s, and others have first appeared in periodicals. If one should see in a life nothing in the way of literature but the Bible, Shake speare, a dictionary, and a good news paper, he would be fitted for all the duties of this life and for the opening of the next. A good newspaper is a mirror of life as it is. Complaints are made because the evil is reported as well as the good. But a newspaper that merely presents the fair and beau tiful side of society is a misrepresenta tion. If children come into the world’s active life and find it different from what they had believed, they will be ncompetent for the struggle. Com plaint is sometimes made that sin is set up in great primer type and right- eomness in nonpareil. Sin is loath some; make it so. Virtue is beautiful; make it so. A great improvement m newspapers wonld be to drop their impersonality. It wonld add potency to articles to see articles signed. It seems to me that no honor able man wonld write an article that he would be ashamed to put his name to. What is a private citizen to do when a misrepresentation is multiplied 20,000 or 50,000 times ? A wrong done a man’s character in a newspaper is more viru lent than one done in private life. It seems to me that it would be a great advantage to the literature of this coun try if men could get the credit for the good they write, and be held responsi ble for the evil they write. Another improvement would be a university education for journalists, as for the other professions. No profession re quires more culture and education than that of journalism. There must be editorial professorates in our colleges. “ The newspapers serve an important function as the chroniclers of passing events. They describe for the benefit of future historians all events—ecclesi astical, literary, social, political, inter national, hemispherical. They are the reservoirs of history. They are also a blessing in their evangelizing influences. The Christian newspaper will be the right wing of the apocalyptic angel. The cylinders of the Christian printing press willj be Hie front wheels of the Lord’s chariot. The music that it makes I mark not in diminuendo, but in crescendo 1” life in New York City. A writer who signs him-elf “ A Non- Resident American,” says in the Contem porary Review: New York is no longer the city that it was fifty years ago. It has grown so rapidly in extent, in pop ulation and in wealth that all the con ditions of life are changed. I visit the palatial residences of former days, and I find myself in the midst of towering warehouses, or in the midst of a Ger man city, or surrounded by squalid tenement-houses, swarming with Irish. Another turn, and I am* in a Chinese quarter. If I would find the fashion and wealth of the city, I must go far out among the old market gardens and the more distant pastures, which are cov ered now with costly dwelling-houses, Then £20,000 was a great fortune; now, New York boasts of a citizen who is worth £20,000,000. There are others who are almost as rich. They are railway kings, or men who have grown rich by the sudden and enormous rise in the value of real estate ; and socialism, imported from Europe, hav ing no kings here to attack, has found a name for these men, and threatens them as “ monopolists.” The palaces of the Fifth avenue laugh at the fain echoes which reach them from the halls near the Bowery, where social clubs discuss the rights of labor, and openly advocate the assassination of monopo lists ; but no one can .seriously study life in New York without finding him self confronted, first of all, with this problem of the relations of wealth and poverty. New York has not grown rich so much through tho skill and energy of her citizens as through the rapid growth of the coun try, with which she has had but little to do, except in the way of developing her natural advantages by building railways and canals. Most of her rich men owo their wealth to the rise in the value of real estate or to fortunate speculation in stocks. It has not been a slow growth. It has come suddenly. The poorest man in New York, who can read a penny paper, is familiar with the slang of Wall street. He knows that he is cutting stone or carrying/morta/ for a paiace u‘uiwh»in for a man who has “captured a lailroad,” or “watered stock,” or “ made a corner.” He does not need to go far to be told that this does not mean money earned, but money stolen from tho laboring classes. He believes it And even this does not touch him so directly as the fact that ho pays an exorbitant rent to another monopolist for his filthy rooms in a tenement-house. If this were all of New York society, this article would never have been writ ten. There are rich men whom wealth has not corrupted, and poor men whom poverty has not embittered. This does not need to be said. It may be said of every city. But there are probably few cities in the world where a choicer so ciety can be found than in New York, and there are few, if any, where there is more earnest, active Christian life. We find it among the rich and the poor. It is colored somewhat by the dominant spirit of the city, but it is genuine. It is struggling manfully to redeem the city from crime, corruption, filth, ig- ’'".ince, irreligion and degradation of every kind; and if the city is saved from outbreaks of the worst forms of communism, it will be by its means. But I am dwelling too long upon generalities. Let us come down to practical every-day life. The New Yorker is always in a hurry. He is an early riser, and generally eats a hearty breakfast by 8 o’clock. If he is a religious man he has had family prayers before breakfast, as this is the only time of which he could be sure before midnight. If be does not read the morning paper at breakfast, he reads it on the way to his office. He is almost certain to have callers on business before he can leave his house; and if ho is known to be a benevolent man, he has a score of beg ging letters by the morning delivery. He gets away as soon as possible, and is not seen again until evening, when he comes in just in time to dress for dinner. His household affairs are managed by bis wife. He is liable to have busi ness calls before he has finished his dinner. If he goes to his club, he talks business there. He has com mittee meetings to attend. «At 9 or 10 o’clock he may go with his wife to a party: or he may get away a little earlier to the theater. If he has an evening at home, it is because he has a dinner party for evening entertainment him self. He keeps late hours. If an active religious man, Sunday is almost as busy a day as any other. If not, it is divided between business and amuse ment. In May his family goes into the country, or to some watering-place, to i remain until October, but the chance : is that he gets but little rest. When rest becomes absolutely essential he escapes to Europe. What the ladies do, except to make themselves agreeable when they can be found, I cannot say from observation, but they seem to be as overworked as the men. Some of them certainly specu late in stocks. They have their clubs and societies, literary and otherwise. Many of the charities and religious so cieties of the city are largely in their hands. Domestic and social affairs are gem rally left to their management. If most of the wealthy are devoted to fashion, many are devoted to better things—to self-culture, religion and benevolence. Perhaps all this is enough to account for the fact that there seems to be so little of quiet and repose in New York li f M. d’Arsonville, in the Revue Scien tific, is very sanguine about the future of electricity. He says that it will supersede all the motive powers used by man and surpa-s them in every way, and he promises to prove in an early article teat, whatever natural force may bo employed, it is electricity alone which can store and transport it to any distance in a practical and economical manner. FACTS AND COMMENTS. Ole Bull, the Norwegian violinist, un dertook to start a colony in Pennsyl vania a quarter of a century ago. He bought forty square miles of wild, moun tainous, Norway-like land in Potter county, brought over 500 Norwegians, built houses for them like those they had left behind, and set himself up for a kind of ruling patron. The enter prise was a failure, and the three villages which he founded are to-day almost de serted, while the original Colonists are scattered. The music hall was recently torn down. According to the last report of the commissioner of agriculture, there are 7,000,000 persons in the United States engaged in agricultural pursuits. The total value of farms and farm imple ments is $13,461,200,433, or two-thirds of the productive wealth of the nation. The value of farm products and live stock for 1878 was $3,000,000,000, against $2,800,000,000 of mining and manufacturing products. From this it appears that a majority of the adult male population of this country is en gaged in agriculture, and more than half the wealth of the nation is invested in that industry. Mrs. Garfield has written a letter et Cyrus W. Field, of New Y’ork, in r-o ference to his efforts in raising the “Garfield Fund.” She says: “I wish formally to communicate to you, and through you to all who have contributed to it, my thanks for this generous testi- monial, as an expression of the high esteem in which my husband was held, and as a tribute to his memory. My children join me in this gratitude aud in the desire that as we accept this trust in their father’s name, we may be able to use it in a way worthy of him, and satisfactory to those by whom it has been bestowed.” FOR THE LADIES. The question whether eggs should be sold by number or by weight has been under discussion in Paris. All of the usual arguments in favor of either method have been put forth. Men of mathematical and statistical proclivi ties have been at work on the problem, and have learned that eggs laid by the more generous fowls, such as Black Spanish, Houdans and Creve-Coeurs, average seven to a pound, while Ham- burgs and some other varieties lay eggs so small that nine or ten are required to tip the pound weight. It has not oc curred to any ingenious Frenchman that, in view of the varying thickness of the shells, a more equitable method than either of those under discussion would be to open the eggs and sell them at so much a quart for solid meats, as oysters are sold. The St. Gothard mountain has just been pierced by a tunnel nine miles long, and costing $60,000,000. The cost is shared by Germany, Switzerland and Italy, the last paying the largest share. Its original purpose was the ruin of the French traffic by diverting travel and traffic through the above-named countries. They have heretofore passed through the Mt. Cenis tunnels and the Mediterranean. But now France has come to the front. In that country capital has been subscribed for a tunnel through Mt. St. Bernard. Ihis will lessen the distance between the British channel and Brindisi, as well as be tween tho channel and Eastern Europe. It promises to be a most stupendous undertaking. At present the new lit. Gothard route has the advantage of avoiding trans-shipment of goods from 1 he North sea and Baltic ports. AocofdN^PmBBHH^^^brt for 1880, there are manufactories of carriages aud walgons in. the United States. New York State leads the list with 493, Pennsylvania follows with 296, and Ohio comes third with 284. The greatest numbm: of hands em ployed by all these establishments at any time during the year was 46,999, aud the average wages for skilled me chanics in most States was about $2 a day. Only fourteen of the establish ments were idle, all the rest working on full time. Wyoming paid the highest av erage wages for mechanics, $4.50 a day; North Carolina and South Carolina paid the lowest, being $1.65 a day. In the last two States the average wages paid for ordinary laborers was seventy and eighty cents a day, respectively. The whole number of manufactories of carriage and wagon materials in 1880 was 332, employing 6,777 hands. The average mechanics’ wages paid, was, in Connecticut, $2.20, aud the lowest, in Tennessee, $1.40. The total amount paid in wages was $2,230,408, and the value of the product $8,403,441. Kairouan, the holy city of Tunis, which the French recently occupied, has its ramparts concealed by Indian fig trees, which are enormously large. A long corridor gives access to a second inclosure. All is silent in the city, and nothing is heard but the murmur of prayers and the melancholy voices of muezzins on their minarets. In the middle of the town is erected the large mosque of Djama-el-Keber, in the form of a fortress. It was Mohammed’s barber who sanctified the place, and his remains repose within the mosque, to gether with several hairs of the proph et’s beard, venerable relics for the Mussulmans. This African Mecca has never borne a foreign yoke except for thirty years. It was taken by Roger of Sicily, whose helmet aud crossbow are kept hung up in a chapel of the Djama- el-Keber. Kairouan was tie seat of learning, and in its mosques, which contain many manuscripts, the Ulemas studied their doctrines. Tho French will search among the libraries for Greek and Latin works of antiquity. A graphic, but not very flattering, description of three types of Mormon faces, as observed at the rccen 1 ' semi annual conference, is given in the Salt Lake Tribune. Stubbornness, ignor ance and superstition are the most prominent characteristics. The observer is first struck by the stubborn face, the peculiarities of which are “a forehead like the end of a filbert, a crooked nose and a protruding under lip.” These, it is said, are men who will take the minority side of any question and stick to it until the giave opens to receive them—men who are still willing to wager a small amount that the world is flat. The superstitions ciass have faces of an entirely different typo. There is a lack of the strength which is seen in the stubborn man s face. The under lips of these men retreat, their chins are hardly discernible; and, sitting with dilated eyes and open months, they drink in tho flood of words from the preachers, “ absolutely believing that the meaningless language is tho divine inspiration of God.” The ignorant faces are described as belonging to men ‘ who look like chimpanzees from the jungles of Central Africa—men with diminutive noses, big months, cunning, twinkling eyes and protruding teeth.” Throughout the entire audience were noticed the low frontal development, thick, sensual necks, sleepy eyes and repulsive mouths. Many of the old women, it is asserted, would, if placed by the side of the witch of Endor, make the hag look like a rosy, blooming maiden in comparison. This surely ia an unattractive picture, but there Is un doubtedly much truth in it. Faakian’s Lntoat Freaks. A New York correspondent writes: Dainty little nail cases have become fashionable as presents, and are even seen among wedding gifts, when the in struments are mounted in gold and silver. One given last week was made to order in Paris, and included a button hook and glove-buttoner. Like all the other pieces, the handles were of ivory, studded with small terquoise, and the Russian leather case was lined with torquise blue satin. Nowadays, if you go to call on a young lady early in the morning, ten to one you find her lolling back in an easy- chair, with her rosy finger tips immersed in a finger bowl of scented water (the first step in the process), or else cha mois polisher in hand, carefully and laboriously rubbing her nails with a fine pink powder that eventually makes them shine like diamonds. The other day, having a desire to write up the process, I visited the estab lishment of a Mrs. P., and it was there I was impressed with the growth of the new fashion, being asked to make an appointment three days later, owing to the rush of customers. I noticed that only ladies were present, but when I commented on it, Mrs. P. showed me a small office, entered from the back of the house, where were seated some gen tlemen, one a congressman, all looking rather shamefaced at being there. “ They have not the courage to be seen entering,” said the manicure; “so I had to arrange a sort of back door. A great many gentlemen come here, nota bly ministers and actors, as in their respective professions they are given to using their hands freely, and like to have them as effective as possible. “ Then fashionable young men have taken up the idea, and many of them are regular customers, and pay so much a month to have their nails taken care of. My two most fashionable patrons are a Brooklyn preacher and a Wash ington politician and orator.” “And how about the ladies?” “ Oh, you can see for yourself,” and the manicure took down a 1 lank book in which were inscribed the autographs of her lady patrons. Among them were the names of several well-known ac tresses of stock companies and of an American prima donna. Amusing to relate, the list of matrons was longer than that of young ladies. But to the point. When my tum came I sat in a row with five other ladies, in the easiest of armchairs and with damask napkins in our laps. Fin ger bowls of stained glass on plates of painted French china, filled with tepid water perfumed and containing an acid to soften the skin, were given us, and solemnly we sat and soaked our fingers for fifteen minutes. At the end of that time an “opera tor” on a low stool seated herself be fore me, dried one hand, posed it on a pink satin cushion, and with a fine steel instrument quickly scraped away all the soft skin around the nail, then she filed it into a point at the top and clipped the sides with sharp scissors, then she rubbed a red salve over it, wiped it off and proceeded to polish with the diamond powder, using the palm of her hand until the nail fairly glittered, and finally warm water, castile soap and a soft brash left it clean, sm« oth and shining. The process was repeated on every finger, and in half an hour for the sum of $1.50 was finished, and the result was ten pink and brilliant weapons of defense, so sharp and pointed as to sug gest the advantages of peace. The fashion of wearing these long and pointed nails has become so exagger ated, that it necessitates long- - gloves ar- 1 extreme care to tbeir break ng otf, Funti otAi. Basques are worii as much as The poke grows in fashionable The pouf in back draperies is not large. Ridged plush is at a premium in mil linery. Skirt di-aperies are more elaborate than ever. \ Deep, dark red is a fine color for plush trimmings. Paniers are not bouffant, but cling close to the hips. Furs will be much used this winter, whether the weather is very cold or not. Two or more materials combined to form one costume is as fashionable as ever. Long visites, dolman cloths and cir cles will all be worn for midwinter wraps. Light-colored ulsters of heavy cloth, trimmed with undyed sealskin, are very fashionable. One of the most effective stripes in new colors is of orange with hair lines of gold and edged with black. Broad Byron collars, trimmed with Tunis lace laid ou over the linen to look like embroidery, are worn. All sorts of felt, plush and furry boaver hats and bonnets will be worn, but pokes are the first favorites. Jackets are giving place to long dol mans, French pelis»es, circle and Pom padour or Mother Hubbard cloaks. Moire and surah are frequently com bined in the same suit with one or more materials, and trimmings besides. Pendant pockets of white satin and moire trimmed with Spanish lace make pretty additions to evening demi- toilets. Ombre watered silks come in two or three contrasting colors, such as dull red, or seal brown, with blue and olive; pale pink or brown with red and gray. Lilies of the valley and white roses are much worn by brides; lilacs are also mingled with orange blossoms in the floral garniture of a bridal costume. Wide flounces of Spanish lace, ar ranged in four deep festoons near the bottom of the garment, are used as an exceedingly stylish trimming for black plush cloaks. Beaver hats are gotten up in a showy style; the brims are remarkably wide, and some of the designs have the front rolled back considerably, which stylo is only becoming to a youthful face. Tinsel plush holds a prominent posi tion in milinery ornamentation and this style has combined with it rich chenille cordings, which give a gay and pleas ing expression to the chapeau designed for ceremonious occasions. Sash draperies arranged in hngebows with long wide ends appear on the backs of many French dresses, and the puffed flounces, doubled and forming a bag-like flounce round the skirt, which were introduced last spring, are still seen. -finger^ prj There are said to be fifty injurious in sects in our vegetable gardens ; fifty in our vineyards, while seventy-five attack our apple trees and more than fifiy our grain fields. Seventy-five millions of dollars is estimated as the damagel done to the wheat in Illinois in one sehson, and nearly ten years ago the aninnai loss in the United States from insect depredation alone was estimated at nearly $400,000,000.

I’ve seen a man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and plow a straight furrow until fall. Then he turned round and harvested back.” “ Carry his grub with him ?” asked a Brooklyn farmer, who raises cabbages on the outskirts. sir. They follow him up with a steam hotel, and have relays of men to change plows for him. We have some big farms up there, gentlemen. A friend of mine owned one on which he had to give a mortgage, and I pledge you ay word the mortgage wc.~ due at one end before they could get it re corded at the other. You see, it was laid off in counties.” There was a murmur of astonishment, and the Dakota man continued: “Igot a letter from a man who lives in my orchard, just before I left home and it had been three weeks getting to the dwelling-house, though it traveled day aud night.” “ Distances are pretty wide up there, ain’t they?” inquired a New Utrecht agriculturist.. “ ^Reasonably, reasonably,” replied the Dakota man. “And the worst of it is, it breaks up families so. Two years ago I saw a whole family pros trate! with grief. Women yelling, children howling, and dogs barking. One of my men had his camp track packed on seven four-mule teams and he vas around bidding everybody good-bve.” “ Vhere was he going !'” asked a Grav»send man. “ He was going half way across the farm to fe^d the pigs!” replied the Da kota man. “ Did he ever get back to his fami ly?" “I: isn’t time for him yet,” returned the Dakota gentleman. “ Up there we send young married couples to milk the cows, and their children bring home the nilk.” “lunderstand you have fine mines up that way,” ventured a Jamaica tur nip pan ter. “Y3S, but we only use the quartz for fenciig," said the Dakota man, testing the bhic of his knife with his thumb, preparatory to whetting it on his boot. “ It woi’t pay to crash it, because we can make more money on wheat. I put in 8,900townships of wheat last spring.” “ How many acres would that be?” “ ^[edon’t count by acres. We count by townships and counties. My yield was 868,000,000 on wheat alone, and I’m tlinking of breaking up from eight to a mndred more counties next sea son.'’ “ Eow do you get the help for such extemive operations?” asked the New Utredit man. “ Qi, labor is cheap,” replied the Dakoa man. “ You can get all you want or from $29 to $47 a day. In fact, ] never paid over $38.” “ It land cheap?” land is high. Not that it costs anjtthig, for it don’t; but under the law»,d’ the Territory you have got to take g> much or none. I was in luck.

In 1878 a younf,' child was admit ted into tbe Glasgow infirmary with ne crosis, or mortification of the right humerus, or bone (»f the upper arm. The mortified part was removed from the bone, but oven alter fifteen months no fresh bone had grown to fill up the gap. This extended to two-thirds of the entire sbaft, and it became neces sary to try and transplant a piece of alien bone into the place. On three several occasions portions of living bone were transplanted into the child’s arm, the pieces being obtained from osseous wedges which had to be excised from the healthy bones of other pa tients. The pieces were divided into many small fragments before being ap plied, and in course of time they united together intoasolid rod,thereby convert ing a helpless arm into a useful one. The operation is of great importance as demonstrating that a piece of trans planted bone is capable of living and growing on another system, to the benefit of thaJflftcr. Kerosene AW Salt for Diphtheria. A correspondent of the New York Sun. says: In 1862, on a plantation in South Alabama, where there was great diffi culty in securing good medical advice, I saw a whole plantation of blacks, as well as the while members of a large family, successfully treated for diph theria with kerosene oil and salt; used thus: Every patient was given a lump of rock salt about the size or a boy’s marble, and instructed to keep it in his or her mouth, swallowing the salty saliva. At the same time the throat was rubbed with kerosene oil, and a flannel saturated with kerosene kept around the neck until the symptoms were abated or entirely gone. If necessary mild cathartics were given. Not a case was lost, and there were fully 120 in all on the plantation.

The coons of kidney disease may thus be traced. First, inactivity, then inflammation, then degeneration, finally destruction of tbe organs. A gentle stimulus, such as afforded by Ho-*tetter's Stomach Bitters, is oftentimes the unquestioned means of preventing onn of those numerous maladies to which the kidney* aud bladder are subject, and which are so prone to terminate suddenly and fatally. No- phitis, Bright’s disease, diabetes, catarrh and stone of the bladder are all maladies which, even in their inception, are wall calculate*) to arouse the gravest apprehension*, but which may be checked at the outset with this benign preventive, which is also a fine restorative of general vigor, an anti-malarial specific, and a remedy for dyspepsia, liver complaint, consti pation, rheumatism and nervousness. It is thoroughly reliable and safe, and a fine tonic for the enfeebled and desponding at all times. Thebe is many a man whose tongue might govern multitudes, if he could only govern his tongue.

BalTt Joomal of Health, referring to Consumption, makes the loUowiHg important statement: " Consumption usually begins with a slight, dry •ough in the morning, then, on going to bed, getting more and more frequent, with more and more phlegm, increasing debility, thinness of flesh, short ness of breath, and quickness of pulse. In fatal eases its average course Is about two years; henco the importance of arresting the disease at as earl; a stage as possible, and the sooner rational means are employed for this purpose the greater the chance of success. The disease Is owing to an irritation com mencing in the throat and extending to the lungs, so that their action is interfered with, and the blood does not receive sufficient oxygen to purify it. Tho most marked sign of lung disease is emaciation; and the most positive indication of returning health Is Increase in weight.” So speaks Uair« Journal of Health, and we may add (hat in desperate cases, and, in fact, in all cases of Consumption, or troubles of the throat and lungs. Immediate relief may be obtained and a permanent cure effected by the use of. Dr. Wm. Hall’s Balsam for the Dungs, a medicine known for more than thirty-five years as an unfailing remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and all pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That the worst cases of Consumption have been cured by the use of Hall’s Balsam has boon at tested to by the thousands who have used it. or have been cognizant of its wonderful remedial efficacy.

It was stated to our reporter in the following words: ’ The senior tnerolier of this firm was attacked with sciatic rheumatism about December 10th last, and for four weeks succeeding Feb. 10th, could scarcely leave his room. He used St. Jacobs Oil, and is now able to be at his place uf business, leeling not much the worse for his recent affliction. The inference Is convincing. The run which NT. Jacobs Oil is having is, wc say, unpr ecedented, and the ar ticle is rapidly displacing all other rheumatic remedies a% fast as its vir tues become known. Edgar T.
