HOW THE DOCTOR GOT A WIFE.
Somoycitra since professions! engage
ments called me from the Atlantic States
to California, my duties pertaining to a
case of considerable importance. In the
course of my business peregrinations I
passed a week or two at at Sacramento,
then a town rapidly crowing into note,
but not so largely or densely'populated
as it is noir. Shortly after my arrival
there I met at my hotel an old college
classmate whom I bad not seen for sev
eral years, and whom I should scarce
ly have recognized, so greatly was be
changed in peisonal appearance. He
had seen my r.nme on the hotel register,
and remembering it, waited upor. me
and introduced himself.
I was heartily glad to see him in the
faraway country, and we sat down to a
pleasant chat together orer the events
of our lives, past and present.
I remembered that my college mate
had not been overburdened with means
in bis early days; and though he was a
man of superior talents, the competition
in the business to which he devoted him
self was altogether too groat to permit
him to enjoy a fair beginning nt home.
He had therefore relinquished bis under
taking in the pretty town at the East,
where he had hoped to ‘ live and flour
ish, ’ soon after graduating: with a few
hundred dollars only, 1 knew be had
started ‘for San Francisco anda market,’
as he pleasantly termed bis intended
destination "for California.
1 mow observed that be was expensive
ly attired, wore costly jewels in his bos
om, drove a handsome span before a car
riage, and lived in good style in a suit of
the best apartments in tbe first hotel in
Sacramento. And so I continued:
‘You are practicing here—eh, doc
tor ?’ *'■* ~
‘ Yes,’ be said. ‘And let me tell you
how and why it is that I am doing so
well as you seem to have discovered,’
‘Go on, doctor. Is it a romance?’
‘ No, it was the result of an acciden
tai discovery, the merest trifle of circum
stance which made my fortune. And
singularly enough, too. It will interest
you, however.’
•I have nod >bt of it. Proceed.*
* Well, I have fortunately solved a very
simple but perplexing mystery that fell
directly in my way, professionally. I
arrived in San Francisco with less than
two hundred dollars in my possessiou,
four years ago; and I made up my mind
in a very brief space of time subsequent
ly that in the vocation of a physician there
was precious poor means by which to
amass money. Few people get sick in
this blessed climate, in the first place;
and if they did, there were plenty of
cuppers and blisterers already here who
stood waiting to bleed both the patients
and their pockets to tbe last drop. Still
there was an occasional opportunity for
practice. I applied myself with assid
uity, but soon tired of San Francisco, and
came to this city, where I hoped for bet
ter success.
1 published a starting card in the only
paper then printed here, and took lodg
ings at this same house, just completed.
But patients were scarce, or shy of the
new comer. However, an old Spanish
Mexican, who occupies an axtensive ranch
just out of the city, waited upon me and
informed me that his daughter was ill
at his residence. ‘He had tried all phy
sicians, far and near—Spanish, French
and American. None of them did any
good. He had seen my ‘card.’ Would
I enter his carriage and ride out to see
her?’
I readily assented, of coarse. On ar
riving at old Robino’s hfeienda* I wna
agreeably surprised to find a fine stone
residence, ancient in style, but massive
in extent, and the interior was elegantly
furnished and decorated.
I had acquired a smattering of Span
ish years previously; and having had oc
casion here to confer with the natives, I
readily understood him when Senor Ro
bino informed that his only child, the
daughter be spoke of, bad been latterly
quito ill, and had declined in health for
a year; while more recently she bad
fainting fits, which alarmed both the
young lady and her opulent father, who
had sought in vain for medical aid, and
was willing to pay roundly for any ser
vices could I relieve or restore her.—

And the old Spaniard implored me pa
tiently to examine the case, and save his
‘darling Carlotta,' if possible.
• * And had yon seen the young wom
an !’ ,
‘Not yet; no. I made general in
quiries as to the health of the rest of the
family, and found there was in this case
no apparent hereditary difficulty. And
finally 1 was shown into the young la
dy’a private apartment. By Jove, my
friend, she was beautiful. You shall
see her, by the way, anon. I will intro
duce you.
‘ Thank you,’ I said. ‘Then she still
lives!’
* You shall gee. Don’t anticipate me.’
said the doctor, briskly.
* I say, immediately on entering her
beautiful boudoir, I saw that she was a
splendid creature, though she occupied
an invalid’s chair, and was pale and re
duced in flesh. There was, however,
an ivory clearness in her complexion, a
ravishing fire in her rich, dark eyes, and
a classic beauty in her handsome features
which at sight greatly interested me;
and I said to myself, I will earnestly
try to save this poor creature from pre
mature death.
‘ And as I sat down beside her really
my heart beat audibly. I confess it.—
I took her small, delicately rounded wr ; st
in my hand, and consulted her pulse
with more than ordinary interest, and
some trepidation, as she looked languid
ly but pleasantly in my face, and said,
‘ Doctor, do you think you can aid me?’
were nlone. She propounded
this question as if she would intimate in
the expression that my predecessor had
tried and failed. And while she thus
smiled I observed that she exhibited two
brilliant rows of pearly teeth, that were
by no means the least attractive feature
in her beautiful and intelligent face. I
found the young Indy’s pulse was fitful
and feyeyish, and 1 questioned her as to
her symptoms. She informed me that
her trouble, whatever it was, seemed to
be a nervous affection. She frequently
experienced spasmodic and acute pains
in the face and head, and would faint
and fall like an epileptic. Then extreme
dullness would succceed, physically and
mentally; she was really discouraged
she said. “ I Zi
‘ With my practice as a physician, I
bad long before united that of a dentist;
and I knew well how sensitive and deli
cate were the nervous combinations of
the face, and especially those of the teeth.
I asked the patient many questions, and
finally interrogated her closely as to the
apparent neuralgic affections she had so
frequently experienced in her head and
jaw. She had no reason to complain of
her teeth; she said they were perfectly
sound.
‘ I examined them, however, with pro
fessional care, finally, taking from my
coat pockets small operating dental in
strument I scanned each tooth, and
rapped it slightly as I passed along.—
As I did this, the youthful senora did
not flinch until I struck the molar be
yond one of the eye teeth, when to my
consternation and surprise, she suddenly
sprang up, and, with a sharp sigh, fell
over senseless at my feet.
* As you may well conceive, 1 was al
armed for an instant, but quickly raising
her form upon the divan at the side of
tbe room, I repeated the rap upen this
tooth, which like tbe rest, to all outward
appearance perfect; and I found though
respiration knd temporarily ceased, the
effect of this simple jar, upon the tooth
produced a result upon the patient like
that of a galvanic shock almost—the
girl starting violently and struggling in
my hands with fearful spasms nt each
repeated stroke against the jaw.
‘ Assuming the responsibility of my
profession and position, therefore, and
beliving that the mystery of her illress
was in some way connected with the fa
cial nerves. I quickly resolved to try
an experiment to relieve her at least tem
porarily. And taking my forceps from
my dental pocket-case. I applied them to
what I deemed the offending tooth, and
instantly removed it from the jaw while
she lay apparently insensible upon the
couch.’
‘ And what was the result?’ I asked.
‘ In a moment she came to conscious
ness, and placing her hand on her fore
head, she inquired, ‘ Where am If Ah
doctor, what have you done!’ And then
missing one of her teeth, she said, —
‘ What have you, have you done I’ And
I briefly replied that I thought I bad
solved the mystery of her illness.’
‘ Upon the side of this tooth, which
was perfect, there adhered a bit of straw
or what seemed to be a diminutive sharp
splinter of bard grained wood, perhaps
three-eights of an inch in length, and
not larger than a cambiie needle in cir
cumference, which had been plainly
forced up accidentally, and to her uncon
sciously months previously, through the
gum, and which penetrated to the foot
of the tooth, near the connection where
it enters the jaw. And there it had re
mained to fret and chafe one of the most
delicately sensitive points in the head,
until further forbearance with it was too
much for the sufferer's physical strength.’
‘ Well, did this operation cure her?'
‘ Not instantly. But thia trivai mat
ter was the really mysterious cause of
her pining illness, evidently; for in ten
days after my first visit she was as calm
as you and I are now, and very soon she
entirely recovered, as her spirits revived.’
‘ And old Rabinof What did be say
to your treatment?’ .
‘He was delighted, and frankly of
fered me anything I would ask for a re
muneration. He sent me a score of
doubloons at once, as an earnest of bis
good intentions, and blazoned my suc

a splendidly remunerative practice; and

* I congratulate you, doctor. But
what became of the lady?’ *'
‘ Ob, Senora Carlotin ? I had almost
forgotten to say that when I fonnd that
she was rapidly improving, I ought to
hnve discontinued my professional visits;
but neither father nor mother would lis
ten to this. Not until the young lady

visit the fine old ranchedaily. And fi

the remuneration of my services.’
‘Of course you did. You earned it.’

‘ That I could not guess at—we pro

‘ Well,’ he continued, ‘ I arranged
the affair first with Senora Carlotta.—
And then I demanded her hand in mar

‘YodWid!’
‘ I did. And made her my wife of

‘Married?’ I exclaimed. Then you
are no longer a bachelor?’
‘ No, my old chum. I have been
married over a year.’
And ten minutes afterward I was in

I ever set eyes on in my life.
‘ You are a lucky fellow, doctor,’ I
said to my friend at parting with him.—
‘lf I could turn my humble talents to
similar good account. I really believe I
would no longer lend the life of a bach

‘ Well, my friend,’ he replied, ‘take

Grand Colonization Schema of the
Northern Pacific Railroad.
The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany are about to inaugurate by far the
most magnificent scheme of colonization
in connection with the construction of
their line, and with a view to the devel
oprmnt of tbe country along its route,
which was ever attempted in the history
of railroad enterprises.
Congress has granted to this company
every alternate section of land in a belt
ol forty miles wide, or twenty miles on
each side of its line, amounting to forty
sections of land per mile—in all between
thirty and forty million acres of land—a
territory greater in extent than all Now
England. Tbe company having made
arrangements with German capitalists for
all the means necessary to the prosecu
tion of the work of construction on any
scale for which laborers can be procured,
are now making arrangements to invite
immigrant laborers from all parts of Eu
rope on such terms and with such novel
inducements ns will ensure both an abun
dant supply of laborers and the rapid
settlement’of the lands adjacent to their
lino of road.
They offer in tbo first place to furnish
immigrants for the first year or two
abundant labor in the construction of the
road itself; and to provide each laborer
at the end of, or during his term of ser
vice, or any immigrant who does not
choose to labor for tbe company, n farm
of 40, 80 or 160 acres selected in alter
nate blocks, with a neat frame tenement
already erected thereon and with a mod
erate field fenced in at the expense of the
company, ‘ to have and to bold the same
with all apurtenancas thereunto apper
taining,’ as the deed runs, on terms
which will barely cover the outlay, pay
ment being required in such small install
ments, running through r long period of
years, at a very low rate of interest, as
will be no burden to the poorest man in
the world.
With the wages received for labor in
the construction of the road they can
readily furnish and stock these ready
made farms. In other words, they pro
pose to give laborers at once a home and
a productive farm, which, under ordina
ry circumstances, it costs him years of
toil to make, on terms equivalent to a
loan of so much capital on bis own
terms.
To secure the minimum of cheapness
with the maximum of ultility in these
tenements, the company have underta
ken to construct them in immense num
bers on the principle of uniformity of
pattern, like a Springfield rifle or a Walt
ham watch, so that each piece of any one
structure will fit into the corresponding
piece of any other, and they nre thus to
be shipped all readv to be put up along
the line of the road as rapidly as its con
struction advances. The cost of these
frame tenements will thus be fir less
than the cost of any ordinary log house,
while they will be far more comfortable.
The scheme contemplates the erection of
many thousands of these tenements, and
the Importation of hundreds of thous
ands of European laborers, who are
thus invited to leave a life of hopeless
poverty and squalor, to become the own-
‘‘FORWARD.”
ers of ready made homes of their own,
with the assurance of good wages from
the moment of their arrival.
The advantages which the company
expect to realize from the scheme are—
first, nn immense supply of labor—their
most immediate want; second, the settle
ment of the lands along the line of the
road, in such a way ns will both develop
a large way traffic and form the nucleus
of thriving and populous communities
throughout their forty mile belt, and also
largely enhance the value of the reserved
lands.
For the purpose of inducing immigra
tion from Europe on the magnificent
scale implied in these arrangements, the
company are about to send to Europe
three Commissioners, whose reputation
and character will authenticate their mis
sion, and insure the influence in Europe
an circles required to carry out these ar
rangements. The gentlemen selected
for this mission, we learn, are Hon.
Hugh McCulloch, late Secretary of the
Treasury; Hon. Carl Schurz, United
States Senator from Missouri; nnd Hon.
Win. R. Marshall, late Governor of Min
nesota, three admirable selections if they
will al) accept the mission, uniting three
high reputations—National,- European,
and Northwestern —and affording just
that combination of influences which is
most necessary to the success of the mis
sion.
Senatorial Photographi.
We clip the following from ‘Senate
Sketches,’ bv a Warhington correspon
dent of (he World:
The people of Minnesota must have
been scarce for‘grave and reverend’ ma
terial when they sent the young D S.
Norton to represent them in the Senate.
For decency’s sake he should have pow
dered his head, nt least, tn preserve the
semblance of age, for he is a David in
youthful looks.
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, has a
face like that of a nice old schoolboy—
gentle, kind and open. The sight of
that benevolent, pale face, with the sil
very hair, is the pleasantest in the Sen
ate. He seems a sort of Senatorial Me
lancthon.
Senator Carpenter has a face like n
corpulent red-eagle. The head declined,
the face subdued, the iron gray crest,
give the idea of eagle resting on his
perch; but there is a light in his eye
like smoldering coals, and a Napoleonic
touch of expression which reveals an in
tensely ambitious, strong willed, fiery
hearted man. 1 see bv the list that his
term of office expires in 187-5. The
date may ns well be moved several years
further on. That man is in the Senate,
and he will stay there; or his heart will
bo under the pavement, not above it.—
He will not be President; he is too
strong a character for that. But, while
Presidents hold their office four years
and Senators almost indefinitely, a man
of just ambition in the latter position,
has no need to sigh for the othdV.
A Bookkeeper’s Fissile.
At the State Teachers’ Institute which
was held at Nashua last week, Professor
Quimby, of Dartmouth College, lec
tured upon arithmetic, an I in tbe course
of bis remarks be gave tbe following ex
ample for the teachers to work:
A liquor agent of a certain town bold
the office one year, and gave the follow
ing statement of his accounts:
Amount of cash received at the beginning
of the year 17
Amount of liquor received at the dame time 57 54
Caeh received for tbe sale of liquor during
the year 10S 97
A monnt paid for liquor bought during the
year 59 91
Amount of salary of agent 25 00
Value of liquor on hand at the end of the
year 31 37
The question is, how much does the
town owe the agent, if anything, or how
much does the agent owe the town ?
Prof. Quimby said this was tbe actual
state of the accounts of a liquor agent of
a New England town, and that a law
suit had grown out of the dispute upon
the question as to which side was indebt
ed to the other, and also as to tbe amount
of indebtedness.
A whole day was given to tbe teachers
at Nasbau to cipher out the true answer.
At tbe end of that time only two or three
out of seventy-five teachers present gave
the true answer.
Tbe answers of tbe rest ranged aII the
way from the town owing the agent $7 to
tbe agent owing tbe town SB.
A Murderer’s Mistake.
The Cologne Gazette relates a horrid
story as enacted at Schrimm, in the gov
ernment of Poseu. A country girl, liv
ing not far from that place, had received
her inheritance of 300 thalers from the
authorities there. On her return home
she spent the night in a village; having
no residence there, she took refuge at tbe
house of tbe village justice, to whom, in
virtue of his position, she gave her whole
confidence, and informed him of the ob
ject of her journey. He was ready to
take her in, and asked her to go to bed
with his wife. When all lay in deep
sleep, tbe covetous host got up, went
into tbe garden and dug a bole there.—
He then took a sharp knife, went up to
tbe bed where the two wera asleep, and
with a steady hand cut tbe throat of tbe
por|gn lying furthest from the wall, took
up his victim and buried her in the gar
den, When he came back he found tbe
bed empty. He bad murdered his own
wife instead of the stranger. The wife
lay close to tbe wall during tbe evening,
but bad afterwards moved to tbe outer
side of the bed. Tbe girl bad got out
of bed after the murder, and hastened
away with her money.
Many a man when he came to paying
bis bills has found bis wife dearer than
his sweetheart, ».
The New Frees of the London Times.
The London Times has recently put io
operation in its office the hew “ Walter
printing press,” and it is now printed up
on four of these improved printing ma
chines, which were designed and marui
. factored in its own establishment, an I
have been patented both in England and
lin this country. Ths 4 * Waller press,” so
named in honor of the proprietor of the
Times, is a machine that prints from a
roll of paper instead of from sheets as is
done by the Hoe printing press. It
prints upon both sides of the paper by
the same process; af.erwards cutting the
paper into sheets and delivering them in
piles. In the foregoing respects it is
similar to the Bullock printing machine, :
excepting that in the latter the cutting is
the first process, whilst in the “ Walter I
press” tb*e cutting being the last, the use
of a great deal of intricate machinery |
necessary to move the sheets through and j
deliver them from the machine is dis- :
penned with, lessening the liability to !
accident. The “ Walter press” also
dampens its own paper; and receiving n
full as it comes from the mill, it wets,
printsand cuts it, manufacturing by one
process a complete newspaper. This
new machine runs at a speed of 12,000
copies, printo I on both sides, per hour,
and including stoppages, it prints from
10,000 to 11,000 per hour. One hand '
and two boys run it, the latter inspecting
and counting the sheets as they are de
livered. The waste of paper is slated at
one quarter of one per cenL, whilst the
register is said to be practically p rfcct.
The chief merits of the machine, howev
er, are announced to be its saving of
time nnd of expenses of working, items
of great moment in a large newspaper
office. The daily edition of the Loudon
Times is from 60,000 to 65,000 newspa
pers, of sixteen and occasionally of twen
ty pages each. This edition is now
printed on four of these presses run by
tour men and eight boys, with two press
men to superintend them, fourteen per
sons in all, and printing over 40,000
sheets an hour. They print the edition
in half the time and with one fifth the
number of hands required by the ma
chines previously i» use. Io making the
change from the old to the new system,
the Times reduced its press room ex
penses just one half, the pay-roll being
8500 in gold, a week, or 825,000 a y?ar
less for 1870 than for 1860, whilst its
saving in the waste of paper is S2OO a
week in gold, or SIO,OOO per year, an
aggregate saving at the rate of $35,000
per year. Although the Times is printed
upon thick strong paper, it is said that
the new press does its work as rapidly
and completely with the thin paper in
use for printing American newspapers.
Religion* Instruction In Schools.
“What then ?” we are naked . “Would
you make heathen of our children?
Would you banish all religious and mor
al training from tbe schools?’’ No; but
it is well to keep constantly and carefully
in mind the radical difference between
religion and theology. Religion, in its
higher sense, is a recognition of the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of Man, and a cordial love of both.—
Theology is a man’s opinions or emotions
concerning God, the angels, the proph
ets, tbo future. Theology is what a
man thinks; religion is what n man does,
or feels what he ought to do. Religion
is conduct; theology is belief. In relig
ion, men mainly agree; in theology, they
universally differ, if they are independent
to think at all.
Religion ought to be taught in schools,
and it is; theology ought never to be
allowed to put its foot within the pre
cincts built and supported by the public
fund. Religion can not be kept out of
schools; it comes gratefully in every
moral precept, in every page of just
counsel, in every lesson of virtue in the
reading book, whether chosen from
Christian or Pagan pen—from the New
Yoik Observer, the Talmud or the Zend
Avesta, from TV illiam Pitt, Confucius.
Epictetus, or Henry Ward Beecher. A
common school room, well manage I, is
by no means tbe profane place that it is
represented to be by some of those who
would make it tbe arena of wrangling
theologies.
It is urged by many that tbe men who
compile tbe school readers “ wholly ig
nore tbe moral and religious sentiments.”
It is not true, on tbe contrary, that four
pages out of five are devoted to inculcat
ing such sentiments? It is true, and
rightly true, that theological instruction
is omitted. It will not yet awhile be
found profitable to alternate tbe experi
ments of chemistry with metaphysics, or
even with moral advice, nor to sandwich
theological dogmas between the problems
of the Rule of Tnrew.
We have no “state religion;” no pre
scribed theology. This nation is found
ed on tbo absolute right of private
judgment and only a man who is a con
firmed and intolerant sectarian will per
mit himself to express contempt for
the conscientious scruples of bis neigh
bor.
No weakening of tbe public school;
no robbery of the fund for the pay of
sectarian teachers I We are a composite
people, and our theology ts as checkered
as our blood. If parents desire to have
their children taught the dogmas of any
particular creed, let them pay for it extra
—but not a dollar from the common
treasury! Here must tbe impending
battle be fought. We must leave our
baggage and put ourselves in light
marching order. Let no side issue di
vert us: let no subordinate or collateral
question divide or weaken us. Religion
| is necessary, indispensable; it is tbe soul
!of law, tbe basis of order, the inspira
' tion of a true life; but theology is an m
tdleetual superstructure which every man
I must erect for bins so If.— Chicago Past.
