Many years ago, while engaged in the general
practice of medicine I saw the dark and apparently
CHRONIC DISEASES, as well as the utter futility
of the methods of relief (relief simply and not
cure) employed by the best in the medical frater
nity, and I speedily determined my course of ac
tion and wedded my professional life to the most
careful analysis and intimate knowledge of the pe
culiarities of this class of ailments, bending also
my energies to find some
NEW
Method of Treatment
Which would be alike satisfactory to my patients
and myself.
Not the work of a day, or a month, or a year, but
after MANY years of persistent application, I have
by actual proof and test fixed and determined a
liije of treatment which f qr positive certainty of
results borders on the marvelous and has aptly
been termed
A PRICELESS DISCOVERY,
And I can show, prove and demonstrate to any
reasonable, sensible, intelligent person that the
most difficult, long-standing and obscure CHRO N
IC DISEASES will yield as if by magic to my New
Rational, Scientific Treatment, and I have no
hesitancy in saying that in the large majority of
such eases I can not only stfve Relief, but can Cube
them. My treatment, touching the foundation and
removing absolutely the cause of disturbance, rap
idly builds anew, invigorates with healthy growth
and recreates the original design.

THE SOUTHERN NEGRO'S HEALTH
It is creeping into the minds of the people
of the South that the negroes are dying
faster than they onght to, and the matter
is exciting not a little discussion. Among
others who have contributed to the discus
sion is Dr. Tipton, of Selma, Alabama, who
considers "the negro problem from a medi
cal standpoint." He has not a little that is
interesting to say.
The doctor starts oat by remarking that
the negro is so peculiarly fitted to till the
southern fields, with their pestilential slug
gish rivers and their malarial swamps, that
if not philanthropy then expediency should
lead to the use of every available means for
the development of his health and comfort.
It should be driven into his slowly recep
tive brain, until he realizes the fact in its
full significance, that he is dying about
doubly as fast as his white brother, and that
this excessive mortality is the direct result
of his own neglect of the laws of health.
In the little city of Selma, with its 10,000
inhabitants, while the white birth rate is far
in excess of the death rate, the negro death
rate is exactly as much in excess of the
birth rate. And on turning more particu
larly to the death roll, it is seen that the ra
tio for the blacks is almost double that of
the whites phthisis (or consumptive dis
ease) alone being accountable for foqr times
as many negro as white deaths.
The negro is little susceptible te malaria.
Diphtheria, croup, deafness, insanity, the
opium habit, all are rare among the negroes;
but whisky is the pet ene'my, slaughtering
even more than consumption. Nearly all
the negroes, continues Dr. Tipton, suffer
with rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, and
kindred joint affections, due to exposure to
the vicissitudes of the weather, to which,
save very cold weather, they are totally in
different. A negro bears cold Very badly,
and in cold seasons nothing but the fear of
starvation will urge him away from his
handful of burning wood or coal. He js
specially susceptible to epidemic metiingitis
and to smallpox, both of which prove fatal
in the large majority of cases.
It is encouraging to see the white people of
the South waking up to this important mat
ter, and the discussion that is now going on
cannot fail to be productive of good.
EBITUltlAL NOTES.
The valuation of the real and personal es
tate in New York city is about $1,420,000,
000, or $32,000,000 more than the national
debt of the United States.
Those who own coal mines are not de
lighted with the growth of the use of natur
al gas. It is estimated that the gas takes the
place of about 190,000 bushels of coal daily.
The whole amount of coal displaced for a
year is estimated at 47,45Q,Q0.O buahels. This
would do away with the work of about 5,000
miners and also of a large amount of railroad
cars and employes.
Professor Johnson T. Piatt of the Yale
Law school, who is distinguishing himself
and shedding lustre oa Yale college by his
able defense of the highly civilized and bene
ficent "persuader" called the boycott, is too
sensitive. He should be less sensitive and
more charitable. He cannot fairly expect us
to greatly esteem his new friends. But
while we cannot do that, we can and do ap
preciate and admire his devotion to them.
The long heralded eminent counsel ap
peared with Professor Johnson T. Piatt yes
terday in the boycotting case in the shape of
Talcott H. Bossell. The new counsel is in
terested in one of our esteemed contempora
ries, and has written editorials for it. We
noticed in yesterday's issue of that contem
porary an editorial "note on boycotting"
which seems to us calculated to "prejudice
the jury." Bat perhaps the jury won't see it.
The Chicago board of education by a near
ly unanimous vote has decided to introduce
manual training as a coarse in the high
schools of that city. Under the system re
pair shops will be established in that city,
where high school pupils who desire to take
the course of mantisj training will meet.
The course of Instruction will include, for
the first year, mechanical drawing and wood
carving, the pupils being subsequently
taught the use of tools and the principles of
mechanics and generally instructed in car
pentering and similar trades.
The summer stories are not ss numerous
or as good as usual, bat there are some that
will do. For- instance, it is related that the
eows at Empire, on the Carson river, Neva
da, feed on the numerous small low flat
islandB at that point which divide the river
up into many meandering sloughs and
branches. A short time ago, when the
river was high, these islands were complete
ly submerged, but now they are above wa
ter again, and covered with short sweet
grass, whioh the cows eagerly seek. They
are so used to wading and swimming from
one island to another that tfyeir'feet have be
come broad, with a strong thick web-like
sole leather formed between the toes. Any
one of these cows can outswim a rowboat or
an alligator.
Senator Payne is described aa a mild-mannered
old gentleman about seventy-two years
of age, gentle and unassuming, genial in his
manner, without reproach until now, and
has never done anything to promote his own
political success. Whenever he has been
elected to office other people have pushed
him forward, and managed his campaigns.
He never made a speech ;a his life, and is in
no sense a statesman or politician, although
by prudent business transactions and the
rise in value of Cleveland real estate, he has
become the possessor of a number of mil-
lions. His wife, a motherly little woman, is
the daughter of Oliver H. Perry, the hero of
the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812,
and through his marriage the senator in
herited the Perry estate, which was a farm
years ago, but is now the most vaiuaoie ana
aristocratic of the residence portion of Cleve
land, Euclid avenue, the finest street in the
world, passing directly through the proper
ty, Mr. and Mrs.. Payne still live in the old
Perry homestead, an ancient house that
stands in the midst of a group of great elms.
In its day, half a century or so ago, it was
the finest residence in northern Ohio, and
even now is worthy of admiration. The lot
upon which it stands, a whole block, is worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars, bat as long
as the Paynes are as rich as they are now, the
place will be preserved in memory of the
great naval hero who originally occupied it,

London, June 26.
To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
The Irish Nationalists are fighting the bat
tle no more in Ireland, where their csuho is
gained, but in England, especially iu Lon
don. It is a strange sight to see English
crowds welcome and cheer Parnell, Sexton
and Michael Davitt. At a large meeting
held in St. James' Hall last Wednesday it
was the rish e-political convict a, great
patriot who had the pleasure of proposing
a vote of thanks to Her Majesty's govern
ment. Tempora mutantur! Dear John
Bull! There is no such man as he to make a
virtue of necessity!
Lord Eandolph Churchill has deemed it
consistent with good taste to send an address
to his constituents, in which he refers to Mr.
Gladstone's attitude as one of "senile vani
ty," and his effort to pacify Ireland as one to
"gratify the ambition of an old man ifl a
hurry." The young Tory Democrat can
eclipse any fishwife of Billingsgate in lan
guage and abuse. A costermouger rising
from the heights of his wheelbarrow and
yelling abuse at a successful rival would re
tire from competition with this descendant
of the great Marlborough. But the noble
lord will not attempt to defend himself. He
once heard a diplomatist say that "it was
not Gladstone's insult to Austria (in 1879)
that damaged him so much in Europe, but
his apology in 1880, when he came back to,
power." Lord Randolph has takes tha mor
al to heart and he goes on b.i?. way without
explanations or ajpo.lo.gies.' The address of
t1-p. young Tory leader will greatly hel'ue
Liberals.
We were much amused at the beginning of
the week by the issue of a Fenian manifesto,
declaring that the true Irish patriots would
never be satisfied until the last link that tied
Ireland to England had been broken, and
that dynamite would soon be again resorted
to in order to attain this end. But the au
thor of the supposed manifesto is too clever
by half, and it is easy to see that it is noth
ing but a base electioneering dodge. Yet
the Conservative papers have made capital
of it and used it as a warning to the electors
who are ready to record their votes to Mr.
Gladstone and his followers. Mr. Michael
Davitt thinks that the author of this docu
ment is an ex-editor of a weekly Irish paper
now extinct, which pretended at one time to
represent the views "of the extreme Irish Na
tionalists. This gentleman, it would appear,
failing after repeated, applications to obtain
money or employment from Mr. Parnell, has
been for some time the special dynamite rev
olutionist contributor to a London Conserva
tive evening paper, and is now on the pam
phleteering staff of the Loyal and Patriotic
Union. All this is very discreditable to the
Conservatives and their "Fenian manifesto,"
an unscrupulous manoeuvre. They must
feel that their cause is a very poor one, a is
shown by the following frank remark made
by a prominent Conservative statesman to a
foreign correspondent in the lobby of the
House qf Commons) "What with Salis
bury's twenty years of coercion; Carnavon
hand in glove with Parnell and "Randolph's
cursed election address, the Tory party is
pretty thoroughly up a tree just now."
The Comte da Paris has left France for
England, Prinee Napoleon for Switzerland
and his son Victor for Belgium. For the
first time in his life Prince Victor must feel
that he is an important personage, a danger
to the republic. Poor boy' I do not sup
pose he ever dreamed of such an honor!
Since the death of the Comte de Chambord
the Comte de Paris has no doubt been a seri
ous rival to the republic But if the Repub

pid weakness against the Napoleons, who

only bears the name of the vanquished of
sedan. He is an impossibility. And when
the expulsion extends to the insignificant son
of Napoleon it becomes ludicrous, and can
only for a few days give a little lustre to a
perfect nonentity. However this may be, it
is evident that by constantly meeting the
wishes ot the advanced Republican party,
the French prime minister has shown to the
world that it is not a case of monarchy ver
sos republic in France now, but a case of
repa blic versus revolution. This is enough
to make one grow reflective.
The good Bavarians to the number of
about twenty-five thousand turned oat to
see the remains of their beloved King car
ried to the grave. They were wonderfully
attached to this man whose reign began so
auspiciously. In spite of the proofs brought
forward they most of them still refuse to be
lieve in his insanity, and their grief broke
forth in sobs as the tuneral procession passed.
In the minds of unbiassed persons, however.
there is no room for doubt that poor King
Louis bad been mad for several years before
his death, though it was only lately that his
madness began to be dangerous to those
about him. His servants must have had a
livelv time on the whole. They might have
complained occasionally of harsh treatment,
as for instance when one of them was com
pelled to wear a black mask for twelve
months as punishment for some trifling mis
take made in waiting at table; but they
could scarcely complain of the monotony of
their existence, for they were evidently treat
ed with unlooked-for severity one day and
exalted to great honors the next in delight
fully unforeseen style. The poor Bedlamite
King used to make one of his sane servants
go about with a black mask on bis forehead
to indicate that his brain was affected. There
would be something ludicrous in all this if it
were not so sad. As for his ministers they
were condemned to death for the least trifle,
and their royal judge was happy in the be
lief that his sentences were carried out.
Once he sent for scientific men from Munich
to transform one of the Hohenschwangan
mountains into a volcano. From papers
discovered these last few days, this is what
we were to have had if the King had lived.
One of his lackeys was to have been prime
minister. In honor of another there was
to have been a grand fete, at which all the
royal household were to figure in Turkish
costumes. The endless follies of the King
had cost one hundred and thirty million
francs, and how to raise more to go on build
ing castles on the tops of inaccessible moun
tains was a great question with him, so the
servants were enjoined by one royal writing
to form themselves into bands of brigands
and pillage the banks of Vienna, Berlin and
Munich. The poor lunatic had evidently
gone qnite back to the feudal ages, and was
in blissful ignorance of the existence of Ger
man Chubbs and Griffiths "the safe men"
those friends of the banker.
It is curious what a want exists in the
breast of man for a chapel of some kind. J
Let the man be ever so much of an unbe
liever he still feels this want. His very un
belief takes the place of a creed to him and
he wants a place to recite it m. He must
draw others unto him and persuade them; he
likes to feel that he is not alone in his ideas,
and a meeting house with some kind of cere
mony is a necessity to him. In the time of
the great French revolution the goddess Rea
son had her worshippers and her temple, and
the same want is still felt by some of the
countrymen of those wayward spirits who
did her honor. At least this is what might
have occurred to anyone looking in at the
Salle Rivoli in Paris last Wednesday evening:
An altar on which stood two ousts, one of
Garibaldi, the other of Victor Hugo, each
hung round with the flags of their country.
hot priests ana aeacons tuerewere two mem
bers of Parliament. For choir the young la
dies of the anti clerical school at Montreuil.
For hymns were substituted revolutionary or
patriotic songs. Instead of the reading of
holy scriptures, some one save a reading
from. "Les Paweres Gens" of Victor Hngo
and the catechism of the "Rights of Man."
The ceremony was opened by a panegyric of
the great poet and of Garibaldi, who was
compared to Julius Ctesar'a poor compliment
enough from a descendant of the Gauls), and
finished with the Marseillaise. Just before
the olose of the proceedings a little maiden
of tender years stood up and iu her infantine
voice thanked her mistress in the name of
her schoolfellows for having brought them
to that noble ceremony, for what was there
more noble than to venerate great genius!
"We have been born under the glorious sun
of the republic," said this little oratress,
"but we lack one thing and that is the sepa
ration of the church and State. We look to
you, Messieurs les Deputies, to give us this
blessing very soon." Frantic applause, fol
lowed by the great national anthem, conclu
ded the proceedings and the worshippers dis
persed. Such ceremonies always make me
think of Voltaire's celebrated saying, "If
God did not exist men would have to invent
him."
The morals of drink again! A Warwick
shire lady misunderstood the use of the water-butt
last Monday. This person retired to
bed on Sunday evening and was followed b ,
her husband, who slept the sleep of the
lighteoua until an early hour in the morning.
When he woke up he found that the pole
star of his existence was missing. A search
was instituted in the cellars, the attic, every
where, but without avail. Mnally an ad
journment was made to the garden, and
while some of the party examined the cu
cumber frames others directed their atten
tion to the receptacle for rainwater. There
the unfortunate ladjr was found, like the
hero of the song, "all in the downs." She
was no more. Near the spot was discovered
the cause of all her sorraw-aa empty whis
key bottle. She had evidently lost her spir
its and sought to obtain a fresh supply from
her husband's stock. The result was most
unsatisfactory and under the influence of
the firewater the lady went wrong, flew to
the water-butt and obtained relief. The cor
oner held the usual inquest and the jury
found that the lady had committed suicide
"while iu a state of temporary insanity."
The husband is quite well.
John Bull undoubtedly scored one in Paris
the other day. It appears that an attempt
was made to extort money from in English
man by an ex-commissary of police. John,
instead of reporting to the slow, prosaic, ju
dicial process of bringing up the man before
a court ot justice, applied his hst to :,&( in
dividual's noddle and was himself .ubsequont
brought up before a magistrate. Now as
rule punching a mau'e head is attended, with
unpleasant consequences for ':e puncher,
but in this case John w acquitted, while
the Frenchman was administered three
months' imprisonment. This act of justice
may tend to improve the entente corcliale
some time imperilled by the rumor of the
French flag having been hoisted in the New
Hebrides, which rumor after all has turned
out to be nothing but a hoax.

A TROOP OF WILD HORSES.
One of the Grandest Sight, ever AVit
nea.ed. From the Detroit Free Press.
I had camped near the forks of the Platte,
and was aroused just at daylight by footsteps
around me. After listening for a moment,
felt sure that they were the footsteps of hor
ses. They seemed to be circling around me
not at a canter, not at a trot, but at a
moderate walk. It was well that I had
seoured my horse in a thorough manner, for
I never saw him so excited. He tugged and
palled at his lariat, stood up on his his hind
legs, neighed and snorted, pawed and pranced,
and it was his actions that gave me a clue to
the identity of my visitors.
They were wild horses.
Had they been Indian ponies my trained
horse would have remained as dumb and
silent as a post. Indeed, Indians would not
have approached me in that manner.
I remained very quiet, hoping the horses
would remain in sight until daylight should
give me a good view of them. I had to wait
for a fall hour, but when the light grew
strong the speotaole was one to make a man's
blood tingle. The circle had been enlarged
until it was half a mile across, and my little
camp was the center, and soldiers could not
have taken positions on the skirmish line in a
more precise order.
I pitied my own animal. He stood with
the lariat drawn taut, and trembled in every
limb, and he was as wet with sweat aa if I
had galloped him twenty miles. I realized
how he must long to break away -and join
the wild rovers, and forever end his drudg
ery. I dared not rise to my feet for fear of
alarming the drove, but neveriheles9,I had a
clear view of each horse. More of them were
magnificent animals. Most down on their
shoulders and tails on the grass. They were
of various colors, and they ranged in age from
the yearling colt up to the veterans 20 years
old. The bays predominated, but every color
was present.
We had been observing each other about
ten minutes, when a jet black stallion, who
was the leader of the herd, gave a snort,
threw up his heels into the air, and broke
off at a gallop, followed by the drove in sin
gle file. They ran in a true circle, and they
made the circuit five times before stopping.
Then, at another signal from the leader, the
circle broke and the horses wheeled into a
long single line, or "company front."
Troop horses could not have done better.
I thought at first that the line meant to charge
me, but at a Bignal it made a left wheel and
galloped straight offi on the plain for a mile.
Then it broke, assumed the shape of a trian
gle, and returned. When the leader was
within pistol shot he wheeled about and the
horses formed in a square, with the four
yearlings in the center. They galloped off
for a mile, broke again, and returned in two
ranks.
I had an almost irresistible lesire to kill
the leader with a bullet. Indeed I reached
for my rifle with that intent, but then came
the reflection that it would be little short of
murder. Such another perfect horse I had
never seen. His black coat shone like silk,
his limbs and body were perfection, and he
had the speed and bottom of a race horse .
Not a halt was made for a full hour,and then
it was only- preparatory to taking a swift
departure. The last manoeuvre was a circle
at a Blow trot, and eah horse whinnied in a
ct 'axing manner to my own steed. Poor Selim !
He struggled in the most frantic manner to
break loose, and when finding all his efforts
of no avail he threw himself down on
the grass and actually groaned his disap
pointment.
1 rose up then and waved my blanket, in
stead of rushing off in affright, as I expected
the leader of the band deliberately approach
ed me a few rods and stood and snorted and
pawed as if sending forth a challenge. Then
I set up a shouting, waved the blankets some
more, and he took his place at the head,
formed the band at "company front," and
they went off at a gallop and maintained it as
long as 1 could see the waving line.
