No Whiskey!
Brown's Iron Bitters
is one of the very few tonic
medicines that are not com
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemper
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Brown's Iron Bitters
is guaranteed to be a non*
intoxicating stimulant, and _
it will, in nearly every case,
jtake the place of all liquor,
and at, the same time abso
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxi
cating beverages.
Rev. G. W. Rice, editor of
the American Christian Re
tnew, says of Brown's Iron
Bitters:
Cin.,O.,Nov. i6,i881.
Gents : — The foolish wast
ing of vital force in business,
pleasure, and vicious indul
gence of our people, makes
your preparation a necessity ;
and if applied, will save hun
dreds who resort to saloons
for temporary recuperation.
Brown's Iron Bitters
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debil
ity, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, &c, and it never
fails to render speedy and
permanent rdief,

THS DEA.BNESB AND FIECINATION OF
NSW YORK.
Growing Ixpensiveness of Life In Town—
Tte Burned-Out Manager— The
Jersey HoUyhcck— Etc.
[Correspondence Rsco*D-UsiO!f.]
New York, November 2, 1882.
Nearly all the absentee*, whose number
and length of stay in the country or abroad
increase every year, have, with the close of
October, come back to town. The city is
very full, and v rapidly growing fuller, as
the hotels and boarding-houEes, and the
active demand for any and every place to
live amply attest. Many houses and
apartments are now leased from October
and November, instead of from May, an
used to be the universal custom, and per
sons who have cot yet secured domiciles
for the winter have difficulty in getting in
anywhere. Almost all the desirable places
have already been taken, and by the end
of December there will hardly be, from
present appearances, a decent habitation
unsecured.
FASCINATION OF THE CAPITAL.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary activ.
ity in building since last spring, and the
frequently expressed opinion that building
has been overdone, especially as to apart
ment-houses, the fact that the supply con
tinues adequate to tiie demaud is only too
obvious. The city's population is, it is
estimated, fully 250,000 larger from No
vember to May than it is from May to
October; a very considerable part of the
increase being composed of persons who
pretend to live elsewhere, bnt spend more
or less of the six cool months here. New
York is getting to be more and more of a
wintering place every year, both business
and pleasure attracting thousands from
other sections. A great many well-to-do
families from New England, tha South and
West, are in the habit ,of coming to the
metropolis either this month or early in
December, to enjoy the gayeties of the sea
son. Manhattan certainly presents a vari
ety of ways of spending money, and thoae
who have a deal of money to spend can
readily have what is called a good time. It
is the constant and r»pid growth of wealth
by accumulation witl.in and without that
renders this city so w«ry dear. Prices are
graduated to the incomes of the rich, not
to the earnings of the financial middle
c-lasß, the result being that, to psople of
moderate means, life in the metropolis is
an unending struggle
One might think it would be so severe,
so unremunerative, that any number of our
citizens would be worn out with it, an>i'
would seek homes under more favorable
conditions, where tho strain wuuld bp less,
where the chances would be better/ Bnt
comparatively few, after having /passed
years here, can be persuaded to /change
their abode. They prefer any anftount of
friction, crowding aad pinching tfo relative
smoothness, space and ease in smaUler cities.
There is undeniably n fascination(in the big
capital that cannot he felt awayi from it.
The last quarter of the nineteenth century
demand«^ptemen*. neatai add social,
and such excitement is to be had alwayb b>
Manhattan. lam acquainted with scores
of persons who have for years been living
here ftom hand to nouth, who have no pe
cuniary or other prospects whatever. They
could unquestionably improve their condi
tion by moving away, and they believe
they could. Bbt they, like so many oth
ers, are wedded to New York and refuse to
be divorced. They would rather rub along
here than flourish Hi the interior ; they are
permanently under »he spell of the metrop
olis. The tens of thousands who have re
turned are oomplbining of the
tnaann of the cjty.
This has become a chronic complaint —
prices having advanced, they s»y, even
during their absence. For three or four
years necessities as well as luxuries have
been going up, notably within eighteen
months, and are higher to-day, it is said,
taking them altogether, than they have
ever been. As an example, the figures of
boarding-houses have been put up ; those
that have been charging $10 a week, now
asking $12, and those that have been
charging $12, asking $14 and $15. This, a
most important change, must bear heavily
upen a very large and industrious class.
As to the hotels, rates of the leading ones
on the American plan have long been $5 a
day, beyond which it would be impolitic to
go. Several of the principal theaters con
template raising the price of tickets, for
the best places, from $1 50 to ?2 each, and
livery stables talk of a further upward
turn for carriages, despite their large ad
vance last January. These are atyled su
perfluities ; but superfluities have grown
to be essentials which, as commonly rated,
are very dear likewise. Provisions, all
household articles, servants, rents, are
higher than they were at this time a year
ago, and there is no probability of their
being lower.
No wonder there is such an unremitting
strife for money in this tumultuous, wear
ing town— not to get rich, but simply to
keep alioat. The shifts and straits to
which the average New Yorker is put,
year after year, in trying to make both
ends meet, is scarcely suspected by the
outside public. If he were not wouted to
it, it would assuredly break him down ;
and then he is greatly helped, from time
to time, by the ease with which he ebtains
credit, though it may well be doubted if
credit does not hurt him in the long run.
The question is eternally asked, "Howde
Nstv Yorkers live ?" The answer is, "By
credit." The bulk of them, after the man
ner of Americans generally, are always
drawing on the future, fact that the
future seldom honors their' drafts in no
wise interferes with their expectations.
They are ever confident that FortuneStM
something in store for them, and although
this is a delusion, it is a delusion to which
they cling to tbe last. Thousands of Man
hattanese increase their indebtedness every,
year, and really depend upon their capac
ity to procure credit as a source of income.
It may truly be said that, in the midst of
life they are in debt, which they only d'a
charge by dying. But for ardent hope
New York would be well nigh depopulated.
Most of us fight the losing battle of life
here, sustained by eager expectations never
to be realized.
BURNING OF THE PARK THEATER.
Much and genuine sympathy has been ex
pressed with Henry E. Abbey in ' he loss
sustained by the burning of the Park The
ater on the eve of Mrs. Langtry's engage
ment. He will lose very little, if anything,
on her, as the change of place to Wallack's
and the delay of a week will feive no per
ceptible financial effect. A hofadred thou
sand dollars is not much to so enterprising
and liberal a musager as Abbey, who is the
most daring of all his tribe., He likes to
do big things ; he is fully aa ambitious of
reputation as he is of monetary gains. A
few years ago he was wfcolly unknown.
Coming to New York fro* Ohio, where he
followed the calling of a jeweler and watch
maker in a small interior town, he aspired
to be a leader in the theatric world, and
he has become such. /Nobody but him
would have had the /courage to secure
Adelina Patti last Beas/on to sing is opera
at $3,000 a night af'itr her original plan*
had been frustrated./ It is doubtful it he
made anything by bi« monetary boldness ;
but it was a superb /*d vertisement for him,
and in the show butanes*, as it is popularly
termed, advertising is of incalculable
value. The bringing over of Sarah Bern

THE JENOUSH PROFESSIONAL BEAUTY.
There was at first very little curiosity—
this is exactly the word— respecting her,
acd the predictions have been numberless
that she would not draw on the stage.
Nor is there any good reason why she
should. She is not beautiful — to do her
justice she does not pretend to be. She
is not even very pretty. Any number of
women in New York, who have never as
pired to bellehood, are comelier than she.
Her esthetic reputation, to call it such,
was the result of accident, but it has been
carefully and industriously cultivated. If
Millaia had not painted her portrait, and
the Prince of Wsles had not taken her up,
she would never have been heard of either
on this side or the other side of the At
lantic. Even if she were beautiful, she
would lose the advantage of her beauty on
the stage, where a very plain, especially a
coarse- featured woman, can be and gen
erally is so made up as to look very well.
Mrs. Langtry's face is delicate, at least the
upper part (much of its effect depends
on her varying complexion), and would
specially suffer in consequence behind the
footlights.
Her figure is fine ; her voice is sweet ;
her manners are graceful ; but nobody has
ever claimed that she is, in any histrionic
sense, an actress. But, out of the theater,
she is a consummate actress. She may be
named, barring offense, an adventuress,
and an exceedingly clever oae. To be a
professional beauty — odious expression —
requires money, and money she w resolved
to have at all hazards. To name her the
Jersey Lily, remembering the typical quali
ties of the flower, sounds bitterly satirical.
She might better be called the Jersey
Hollyhock or Peony ; for there is not a
scintilla of genuine fineness, unless physi
cally, in her entire composition.
Abbey's idea of an auction was felicitous ;
it made the public believe there was a great
desire to see her, which there was not by
any means until her manager's methods had
created it. The auction was probably a
bit of juggling— Charles Wyndham's pnr.
chase of the first box looked very sus
picious—but it served the purpose Abbey
had in view. I fancy now that he will
make money out of her. He is, though
far quieter, a spiritual kinsman of Barnum,
and must excite the cordial admiration of
the veteran showman and Prince of Ham

Charles T. Congdon, the oldest member

/It was characteristic of the average re

Langtry on the morning of her arrival,
should ask her, while they were steaming
through a dense fog, what she thought of

her reply that she admired New York;
that it reminded her of Paris. Who would

BENEFIT OF CLERGY.
It was an ancient privilege allowed to
the clergy of claiming when accused of
felony to be delivered up to an ecclesiast
ical Judge— always favorable to bis own
order— for compurgation, instead of being
tried in the ordinary way before the lay
Judges of the land. In ancient times few
persons, except those in holy orders, could
read, and accordingly the test for ao ac
cused person claiming benefit of clergy vas
his ability to read. If he could noti she
Court* would not part with the defendant,
but proceed to try him as if he were a 1 »y
--man. Afterward, when education beaame
more general, other persons besides cleftfi
men were able to read ; and so, in the r»ign
of Edward 111., Parliament extended -.he
privilege of clergy, as it is called, to clefldy
laymen until the reigo of Klizibeth.
Women were not allowed their clergy iiitil
the reign of William aed Mary, when Par
liament extended the benefit to them. t> In
the reign of Henry VII., however, a blow
was aimed at this singular privilege a* sn
joyed by laymen, and a statute was then
passed against "diverse persoM lettered,
who have been more bold to commit Har
den,} rapes, robbery, theft, as well a* ail
othea mischievous deeds," which eni»eied
that persona "not within hcly ordffs"

victed thereof, were in cases } of
murder to be marked witk the 'Let
ter "M" on the brawn of the .eft
thumb, and in all others with the letter
" T," to denote, it is presumed, that the
person had been guilty of theft. In o*ae«
of high treason benefit of clergy was never
allowed to be pleaded. It ia stated fiat
when an accused person claimed his clergy
it was usual to teat his iecniag by requit
ing him to read the first rent oi the filty

the words, " Miserere met Dey*. " In aJßdi
ticß to the extraordinary character of tiiu
proceeding, in which a touch' of grim hu
mor seems perceptible, it* absurdity is ap
parent, for of course men might easily have
coached themselves up in the required tost.
The ecclesiastical Judge, who w&s generally
the Bishop, might, however, have given
the defendant anything else to read ; and
in either case, in the event of his inability
to comply, might have handed him over to
the law, and this proceeding generally
meant death. A custom which iav»r*d.

THE FABLES OF INDIA.
The study of fables owes its new life to
India, from whence the various migrations
of fables have been traced at various times
and through various channels from Eut to
West. Buddhism is not known to have been
the principal source of our legends and
parables. But here, too, many problems
still wait for their solution. Think, for
instance, of the allusion to the fable of the
donkey in the lion's skin, which ocean in
Plato's "Cratylus." Was that borrowed
from the East ? Or take the fable of the
weasel changed by Aphrodite into a
woman, who, when she saw 1 a moose,
could not refrain from making a spring
at it. This, too, is very like a Sans
krit fable, but how, then, should it
have been brought into Greece early
enough to appear in one of the comedies
of Strattis, about 400 B. C. ! Here, too,
there is still plenty of work to do. We
may go back even further into antiquity,
and still find strange coincidences between
the legends of India and the legends of the
west, without as yet being able to say
how they traveled, whether from east to
west or from west to east. That at the
time of Solomon there was a channel of
communication open between India and
Syria and Palestine is established beyond
doubt, I believe, by certain Sanskrit words
which occur in the Bible as name* of ar
ticles of export from Ophir, article* such
as ivory, apes, peacocks and sandalwood,
which, taken together, could not have
been exported from any country but
India. Nor is there aoy reason to 1
suppose that the commercial inter- J
conrse between India, the .Persian Galf^^
the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean waifl
ever completely interrupted, even at th^J
time when the Book of Kings is supposedH
to have been written. Now yon remembe^H
in the Book of Kings the judgment of S<fl
omon, which has always been admired acfl
proof of great legal wisdom among tfl
Jews. I must confess that, not havmjM
legal mind, I never could suppress a ce^^^
tain shudder when reading the decision of
Solomon — " Divide the living child in two,
and gave half to the one and half to the
other." Let me now tell you the same
story as it is told by the Buddhists, whose
sacred Canon is full of such legends and
parablos. In the Kanjur, which is the
Tibethau translation of the Buddhist
Tripitaka, we likewise read of two
women who claimed each to be the
mother cf the same child. The King,
after listening to their quarrels for
a long time, gave it up as hopeless to settle
who waa the real mother. Upon this Vis
akha stepped forward and said, "What is
the use of examining and cross-examining
these women ? Let them take the boy and
settle it among themselves." Thereupon
bcilh women fell on the child, and when
tie right became violent the child was hurt
ttid began to cry. Then one of them let
I.m go, because she could not bear to hear
the child cry. That settled the question,
the King gave the child to the true
mother, and had the other beaten ttith a
r >d. This seems to me, if not the more
primitive, yet the more natural form of the
story, showing a deeper knowledge of hu
i.i»D nature and more wisdom than even
the wisdom of Solomon. —[Max Muller, in
Contemporary Review.
THE SUN AND THE MOON.
In the German language, »a is well
known, the gender* of the sun and moon
are respectively feminine and masculine,
contrary to the rule of the Roman lan
guages, where, as in I-ati", *he sun is mas
culine and the moon feminine. In our
own language Shakspeare speak' of the
moon as " she ;"^nd in Egypt and Peru
the sun and moon were regarded both as
brother and sister > id husband and wife.
In Arabic, Mexican^Lithuanian, Slavonic
and Greenlandish thj^hmi/ind sun, accerd^^
ing to Grimm,
of thought, bat the fundan^n^^^^
conception that gave them genders at all in
language or in legend is clearly the same
in either case, namely, that the sun and
moon were actual human beings like svu*
selves. This thought still lingers ii the
uppef l'alaticate of Kavaria, when. it_j* .

the sun spoken of as Fray isoim? and W<

whichever of them should be the tint to

the wager, and awoke next day to fiod that
the sun had for two hours already been
lighting up the world. As it was also a
condition and consequence of their agree
ment that unless they awoke at the same
time they should shine at different times,
the effect of the wager was a permanent
separation — much to the ailliction of the
triumphant sun, who, still retaining a
spouse-like love for her husband, was and
always is trying to repair the matrimonial A
breach. Eclipses are really due to their Am
meetings fi r the purpose of reconciliation :A^k

WRESTLING CAMELS.
The wrestling matches between camels
is an amusement in which Turks take great
delight, although they sometimes get a
fine animal maimed in the sport. Many
gentlemen kee^ them for no other purpose,
and one person in Smyrna kept twenty at
one time for the amusement of his wife,
who had a fondness for the sport. The
camels are trained to wrestling when quite
young ; they exhibit great dexterity in
throwing tbeii antagonist, and seem to
take much pleasure in the fray. We had a>
young one on board, only a month old,
and, having been bern under the flag, he
was christened " Uncle sam." One of the V
Turks amused /limsilf on the voyage mak- %
ing a " pehJEvau " of him, and when ■
he was six wflka old he was more than 1
a match for ' his teacher, using hi* 1
leg*, neck and jnouth sd^li much dex-^^
terity, and exhibiting sucb wonderful "*
strength in so young a thing, that he became
a very rorghj playmate, and frequently
hurt the n.en on deck by throwing himself
on them suddenly and knocking them
down. This feature seems to be natural
to the camel, for when two strange one*

for the supremacy, and the conquered one
ever after acknowledges his inferiority by
not so much a* daring to look at a female.
Unlike the amusement of bull- baiting, this
wrestling is a harmless pastime, though
the animals sometimes get their legs
broken, or are stirf for some time atter
with their bruises. Well-trained animals
seldom injure each other, being taught to
throw their antagonist by getting his neck
under the fore leg {the" fight) and the
throwing the whole weight of their bod ■
on him and bringing hirr. to the ground.
