The Doreet Mendlaity Society is founded upon the
assumption that no person should be snowed to star'.;
and so when a beggar knocks at the door, and tells
you that he "has not •ha I anything to eat all the
blessed day," lac., • ticket is given that will ensure
him Immediate possession of 1 lb, of good bread.
These tickets are v.. ry simple, they bear the title of
the Society, the onion district, and the nausea of the
\places where the ticket may be presented. The donot
hears no more heartrending f tliseboods. and he knows
, if a really starving man gets a ticket he will at once
i seek for the bread, and be thankful for it.

The Licen.ing Bill touches a surp-isingly urge 1
number of people; It is hinted that the Government
are resolved to stand —(or fall?) —by the measure and
get It through Parliament this session. There wid ho
a severe fight over it, and Mr. Bruce hoe cautiously
prooeeded by resolution. The auction proposal rests
on the concurrent:at of thesdlonse in a proposition to
withdraw from the magiatracy the power of grantin;
licenses, leaving them merely to decide the number to
be sold in a certain locality ; and against their decision
upon that point there will be the right of appeal to the
ratepayers. The limit of price for bugle° is s•t down
as not more than 1:3IC() or less than £5O. lizinx the
hours for closing publlc-hous(s at twelve in London, ten
in. the essuntr), and vleven in country towns, and
arranging for due inspection to prevmt adulteration,
are the temaining principal features of the Bill.

Ur. Gambol has rather alarm-d the public by telling
them that the local authorities in the United Kingdom
administer annually so vast a sum as L 36,000,000, an
amount, in fact, equal to half the gross annual revenue
of the oountry—and yet we have "a chaos as regards
anthori,ies, a chaos as reganls rates, ou I worse chaos
than all as regards areas." It is proposed to bring
under taxation scary description of property—Govern-
ment proporty. metalliferous mines, timber, rights
of way, canals, and game. We are to have a
oonsolidation of all existing rates into ono 000tral
parochial board, elected by the ratepayers, to be the
governing body. The house-tax is to be abandoned.

A following_ emu are taken from large number
. eases shish I have had the pleasure to record la my
note.book during the last few weeks:—
Mr. Pliilpotta, a farmer, of Preston, near Ipswich,
onto to tee several mooths since. He appeared to be
is a very exhausted 'audition. having been for several
years a grievous sufferer from indigestion, liver com-
plaint, and severe nervous exhaustion. I recommended
him lofty • set of the combined bands, but so hopeless
was he of any good result, that when I gave him
Instrucitions for their use, he remarked, "Well, sir, I
sniping to try them, but tam afraid it Is a hopeless
experiment, for I have had the hest medical advice that
money will procure, including that of an eminent
London physician; but they all say there is not a
shadow of a chance for me." I endeavoared to raise a
spark of hope in his bread, though it seemed like hop-
ing againet hope. He has worn the bands now for
above six months, and the result le, that he is so much
Improved in every respect as to be able to pt through
allele daily duties with ease and comfort. In swivel,
salon with him the other day, he remarked, "I am a
wonder to myself and to all my friends, many of whom
ask me if I have taken a sew lease of life, You are
welcome to publish my name to the ends of the earth
If you like, for It is only a duty which I owe the
Inventor and the public to spread the knowledge of
No wonderful an invention."
Four months since • leading tradesmen of this town
sought my advice on behalf of his servant, who had long
been a great sufferer with neuralgia. He had placed
her under the care of his own physician. Lod every
attention had beau paid her to no purpose. She had
not enjoyed one hour's sound sleep for many weeks,
but spent the 'rester part of the night in the most
violent paroxysms of pals, from which her health was
seriously suffering. I advised him to try a Irirt band,
giving him suitable instructions for its use. Four days
alter, as I was entering the Post-office, this same gentle-
man tapped me on the shoulder, exclaiming "06, Mr.
Seeger, that band hu acted like magic That poor
servant of ours got relief the first night, and has slept
soundly every night since without any sitar° of the
pain." Fifteen weeks have Lime elapsed, and so; has
not suffered relapse.
A lady of high respectability, living within three
miles of Ipswich, applied to me twelve weeks since.
She was suffering from extreme weakness of the
bronshial tube', which had reduced her voice to the
faintest whisper. She had been under the csre of a
clever medical man for three months, without any
bendelal result.
I advised her to try a 21s. combined bend, and she
was perfectly oared In two week..
A gentleman in Yorkshire wrote to me about ton
weeks since, somplaining of severe epileptic fits, which
attacked him every night after the day's duties were
over. He had tried various remedies in vale, and
desired that I would give my opinion of the galvanic
bands for his caw... . . .

The " red" flag waving over the Tuileries is a delight,
no doubt, to the blooithirsty wretchol who lire ou
%manned crowds, and put the 'roundel out of their
misery es a finishing stroke ; but the "red' flag won't
float in Ragland even among red-hot Republicans. At
the St. James's Hall riot on Tuesday—the " iudigna.
tion meeting" against the Pen, promoted by a boot'
of M.P.'s who found it convenient not to attend—the
prinvipal expressioli of Indignation was against the

If the principles which Judge and Jury ratified in
the actions brought by Mr. Otto Goldwalcht aro to be
generally applied, we fear the oonduot of newspapers
will become well nigh harms:Able. A libellous paragraph
appears to an American paper ; to cook* into iho
English paper ; the authority is acknowledged, •ni a
hope expressed that the report is untrue. When this
is found to be the Cate, ample ape!ozr is giv,m, and

paper should be pros:soled against for copying a
paragraph which -h,ws its origin, until an action hag
been brought against the original source of the
slander.

The anti.vacciustors are nearly as virulent in their
arguments .ta is the fell disesse which they court. Pro.

gests, In bitter irony, " L.t Psrliament onset that

I must confess.
Mr. Robert Meadows, of Btowmarket, Suffolk, sought
my advice in August lase He had been • great
sufferer from weakness of the nervous sytem, accom-
panied with distressing pain and distraction in the
Lead causing restlessness and sleeplessness. Any sod-
den lola, but especially music, was unendurable, for
whit* reason he was oompelled to keep from his chapel.

parental solicitations by knocking down the author of

that " boys will be boys," is daily being disproved ; It
is the girls who "will be biys" now-a-days. The boys
themselves look much higher.

esovius is at it again, and has already obtained one
victim to the curiosity which its performanoes create.
Some poor silly traveller chose to examine the crater
without a guide; but the mountain resented the indig.
nity, and punished so palpable a ne,ilect of the interests
of the dwellers in its neighbourhood. It knooked one

and then burnt him with molten liquid, determined to

It has lately become the fashion for gatdeners to

suffer from garden nomenclature. 000 young lady—We

spoken of as • "blotehy, pale-coloured sort ;" and an
