GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, BATTERIES,
RECENTLY IMPROVED.
Approved by the Academy of Medicine of Paris
and other Medical Authorities in England and abroad.
Electricity, the prime actor in the process of life,
pervades all living organism, and its identity with
nerve force is no conjuncture, but a positive scien-
tific fact, known to all versed in sthe teachings o
Electro-phyisology.
Consequently in nervous exhaustion, local debility
and various functional disorders it is Nature's sole
and most congenitl remedy. The self-application of
this wonderful physical agent has become easy and
agreeable to the patient, and accessible to all by the
recent improvements.
In contradistinction to those unprincipled adver-
tisers who publish statements solely on their (nen
authority, Mn. PuLvsasilenzu refrains from putting
forwara any statements of his own in favour of his
Medico-Galvanic Appliances, but confines himself to
quotations from the opinions of competent medical
and scientific authorities, including Sin C. Locoog,

THE SEAT IN THE OININIBUS.—The omnibus
was the other day quite full of undergraduates return-
ing to their respective colleges. The day was cold,
wet, and miserable. "Have you room for one inside
to Oxford?" asked as pretty a girl as one would wisn to
~ee on a summer day. "Lots of room," cried the
•nsii.'es ; "we are not very large—we can manage to
,-,ake one more." The fare was paid by the young lady
cautiously to bind the contract. "Ail right," responded
the conductor. "Come along, grandfather," cried +he
damsel, addressing a most respectable looking portly
elderly gentleman; "the money is paid—get in, and be
sure you thank tne young gentlemen," at the eserste
time suiting the action to the word, and, with a wic:ed
mile, assisting her respected grandfather into the
.mmibus. "Here's some mi4ake ; you'll Fqneez- us to
death-1" cried the astonished uneergradeetes. line- at
that moment off went the omnibus, and he, instead of
she, settled down ponderously between two of them.

My authority is that of the late Sir Benjamin Bro
OH, HEIGH() !—Accidents have curious ell
sometimes, especially in America. A New
paper states that by the bursting of a steamer's
on the Ohio" fifteen people were killed, some of
fatally." Explosions are so frequeut on this river'
probably some passengers, like eels and Scotcht
require killing two or three times over before thes
gait° dead. Use requires a deal of conquerin,„
cases of this kind. —Fun.
BISHOP ELucurr ON INFIDELITY. The
Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol preached on Sunday
afternoon at St. James's Piccadilly, the -last of the
series of sermons arranged by the Christian Evidence
Society. The subject was "The Contrast between
Christiarity as the Hope of the Worli and the Des-
pair of Unbelief." His lordship, preaching from
Ephesians ii., 12—" Having no hope and without God
in the world," placed before his congregation the tree
nature of hope, and then proceeded to give an analysis
of the three prevalent forms of infidelity—Materialism,
Pantheism, and what he termed Anti-theism, or the
system that denies a personal God, but admits of an
impersonal Omnipotence not to be identified with the
world of phenomena. His lordship pointed out that
a consideration of the various systems led to these re-
sults :-1. That none of them supplied even the most
rudimentary answer to the deeper questions of human
life • 2. That none of them has ever suggested any ulti-
mate considerations which could form in any degree
even a temporary palliative. The right rev, prelate
then pointed out how all nen-Christian resignation led
to Nihilism and utter despair, aud then showed that
none of the non-Christian systems even suggested any
motive principles in life or morality.

American papers received at Plymouth on Sunday
night announce that in consequence of massacres by
Sioux Indians, an expedition 2,000 strong, chiefly
cavalry with Gatling guns, and led by Generals Terry
and Chester, has started or what is practically an
organised war of extermination. The New York Herald
states thatparties of frightened miners wno have hastily

mining settlements will soon be deserted; unless the
terror of returning across the open plains, which are
now infested.by bands of. bloodthirsty ' Sioux, should

hardships and perils of remaining where they are. ; Food
and ammunition they report to be very scanty there,

of wild game, which have become very shy.. The ma-
jority of them have ventured and lost their all in seek-
-1 eing the fancied El Dorado. They are depleted not
ionly in purse' but in health and spirits. Those who
have reached this point say that the 'Sioux are in the
heart of the Black Hills, skulking among . the ' rocks
and in the canons, and opening a treacherous fire upon
white men whenever they can reach them. . They can
neither hunt nor dig for fear of the unseen eneme
