READ AND REFLECT.

FAR CHARLES II. TOZER'S CARD to the
EI afflicted of California In approaching any
new course of systematic inquirJ, there are
certain points concerning which the inquirer
should always be careful to satisfy himself.
He should comprehend distinctly what the sub
ject of inquiry is-Health and Disease.
If we can form and fix in our minds clear
conception of the state Of Health, we shall have
no difficulty in understanding what is meant
by disease. But beyond though not above these
objects of investigation of the human body, we
have another and still nobler end 1t is to lay
before you in such plain terms that you cannot
me mistaken and will know where to apply for
relief.
| use the word DISEASE generally, and before
| speak of the signs of particular diseases, it
will be proper to take general view of symp-
toms. When a person is troubled or afflicted
with disease, which causes weakness of the
back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness of
sight, loss of muscular power, palpitaton of
the heart, irritabity. nervousness, dyspepsia,
arrangement of the digestive functions gener-
al debility. symptoms of consumption. and many
others which are better explained than put on
paper and require Medical or Surgical attendance
it would be well for them to inquire if there is
a physician who is competent to attend them,
and who understands the application of medi-
cine and whose Scientific Attachments in his pro-
fession, and whose age and experience entitle
him to your confidence. Considering these things,
Dr. Charles II. Tozer has concluded to inform
you that are afflicted, advertising his place of
business, stating that he has been a successful prac-
titioner for over twenty-five years, and has
ATTENDED AND CURED HUNDREDS
when they have been considered by other physi-
clans and have been pronounced by them past
recovery. Therefore, you may rely upon him
as one in whom secresy and the utmost conf
dence can be placed.
DR.. c. II. IT, would invite all that are afllic-
ted to call on him, and if he does not administer
for them, there will be no charge made. Let
no false decacy prevent you, but apply imme-
diately. and save yourself from the dreadful con-
sequence which must follow those who neglect to
receive attendance.
Dr. G. ii. Tozer's office is on 9Th street, near
the Belvidere Hotel; between J and X streets.
His rooms are arranged that the Doctor can
be consulted without the fear of molestation.

HERBERT THE SU1olDE.-The N. Y

HERBERT THE SUIolDE.-The n. Y.
Times says:
The incidents connected with Mr..
Herbert's last marriage were in the
highest degree romantic. lie was one
day last winter walking through the
principal street of Newark, when he
saw a couple of ruHianly-looking
young fellows making an assault upon
a young lady. He Immediately ran
to her assistance, and succeeded in
driving off the ruffians, when the lady,
after expressing her gratitude TO him,
requested his card, which he gave her,
and a correspondence ensued, which
lied to an interview, and in two weeks
from their first meeting they were
married. The lady was young; she
had large fortune which was settled
upon her at her marriage, and her
mother came or from Massachusetts
to be present at the ceremony. A fu-
ture full of golden sunshine and domes-
tic felicity suddenly opened to the
vision of the unhappy man: but the
Ebright promise was soon obscured by
darker cloud than had ever settled
upon him before. The exact cause Of
his wife's separation from him has moi
been divulged; his own solemn assev.
erations that it was not in consequence
of any i'll conduct on his part is enti
tied to consideration.
The Newark N. J.) Advertiser
says the lady to whom Herbert wal
suddenly married was Miss Adela r
IBudlong, of Rhode Island.

Ostrich Hunting.

With Faucheux's revolver. q couple
ofSouthern hounds, having plenty Of
tongue and not too much speed, and a
horse safe on his legs and light in hand,
a man might have an unlimited
amount of sport at boars in Algeria.
But, if he aspire to rare game, there
is the lion, the panther, the gazelle,
the bustard, and the ostrich, in the
Tell and Sahara of the country. The
chase of the ostrich is held in high es-
timation, and is only followed by the
Arab aristocrat, who makes a long and
extensive preparation for its enjoy
ment. For some weeks before the
time appointed for the sport, the Arab
feeds and trains his horse with specia |
care; and unless their wind and con-
dition are perfect, they stand no
chance with the ostrich; he runs them
out Of sight. This is exactly what is
done in our own country by good ken
mel management; the fox is over
matched by the condition ofthe hound.
There is a curious point Of similarity
between the English sportsman and
the aristocrat Of the Sahara; he rides
his second horse in the chase Of the
ostrich as the other does in that ofthe
fox. But, ifanything, he of the desert
has the advantage; he posts his relay
with such thorough knowledge OF
the running Of the game that he rare
ly misses his mount; whereas, the
Meltonian makes a bad cast frequent.
ly, and as frequently finds his second
horse already half beaten by the bad
management Of his groom. When
the ostrich is blown in the chase, the
rider strikes him a sharp tap on his
featherless head, and at once deprives
him of life, a small stick being his
sole weapon. A Kous-Koussou, SUR
mounted by outlets taken from tht
breast of the ostrich, is the royal dist
of the desert, while the steam of tht
boiled fat imparts an uncteous taste
and gamy flavor TO the whole.-MF

the psychologists sever the heads Of

out their heads, they are careful by
emitting above the vital point, to keep
it attached to the body.
One more explanation and | have
done. Thenewspaper correspondents
who wrote home accounts of the bat
tie of Alma, challenged the physiolo-
gists to explain how a soldier, the
length of whose head from the back
had been traversed by a bullet, was
able to walk down the hill to wash
lliis head in the liger. Similar facts
have long been we'll known. Men
have lived many years, well, sane,
and healthy, after their skulls have
been cleft to considerable depth on
one side.
The records of physiology are full
of marvellous survivals after the most
terrible wounds; and their number
will be increased continually, as the
spread Of science diminishes fear and
increases courage among mankind
Hope will more and more help the
healing art, when it is known how ma
Iture triumphs over the most dismal

The Buffalo Republic indorses the
following. We can believe all but
the last statement; that seems slightly
improbable;
HooPs.-A lady walking up Della
ware-street yesterday accidentally
tripped over a dog and fell down.
In moment the dog was whelmed in
a sea of silk that shrouded him in its
waves, and he set up tremendous
howl which, mufled by the criuoline
sounded like "buttered thunder" The
poor lady endeavored to rise, but the
dog became entangled in the maze OF
hoops, Valenciennes, &C., and down
fell the lady again, piteously bewil'
dered and frightfully Ignorant Of the
cause of her double capsize. She
came down precisely on the dog on
the latter occasion, at which the dog
in his turn became exasperated, and,
turning like a viper upon The benefac,
tor who had cherished him, bit her
perpendicular ped--her arrangement
for curt--that is to say--in short-hei
leg. The unfortunate lady at this at
tack shot up to perpendicular, whilt
the dog shot ont horizontally, later
ally--and disappeared behind a bricl
house, against which he had run il
his perplexity. Thelady managed t
reach the house ofa friend, aud finally
got home, where she has finally recov

IsOInance in Real life.

The Bucyrus Journal says that q
man living near there lost his wife
some years ago in Homer, N. Y; that
they had little girl which he gave to
a friend and lett hecountry. He was
gone ten years and returned, but could
find no trace of his child. She had
two marks by which he might know
her-one toe was gone, and she had a
scar on her arm. The man gave her
up as lost to him, and finally settled
near BucyruS and married. Their
we give from that paper:
About six weeks ago lie happened
to pass by the room in his house occu-
pied by servant girl who had resided
with him for nearly two years, at u
time when she was about to retire,
and the door being open, he saw her
foot. He merely glanced at it, and
happened to notice that tho 'it'I0 TOO
OF the right foot a0as missing. He
thought nothing oft at the time, but
after retiring, the idea struck him that
it might be the daughter he had
searched for SO long. AT first he dis
missed the thought as improbable, but
it still forced itself upon him, until
finally he requested his wife to 90 tc
the room and ascertain whether there
: was or not marks Of a scald upon hel
right arm. She went, and, to his i'm
| mense delight, reported that the mari
was there. The poor man was 81
: positive of her identity that the cir
was awakened, and in the middle o.
the night was questioned as to hel
origin.
She could only tell them that sht
did not know her parents; that hol
earliest Iecolections were that she hat
