GIANT STRIDES IN THE NINETEENTH Gen

GIANT STRIDES IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY
1t is a world of wonders nobody can deny
We take up the periodical of the day with the
expectancy of reading some new theory or
discovery, as well as seeing news in the alb
stract The trans atlantic electric cable. at
the time we write, is fast expanding from its
central point in mid-ocean to its two ter
mimi on land, to link the hemispheres but
at the same time that we justly look upon
this as a convincing proof of the great "march
of intellect" we must not lose sight of ano-
ther ana no less great palpable evidence Of
what giant intellect, single-handed, can ac r.
complish. Thomas Holloway, whose name
las the great medical dictator of the present
age it needs no submarine TELEGRAPH to her
aid from one cline to another, has by means
of his two remedies, a Pill and an Ointment
long established a chain of communicating
agencies around the globe, without having
recourse no wever to the aid of electricity or
metal wire. As the poet has designated
man to be but "a link IN tie great chain of
causation," so may Holloway be said, through
the instrumentality of his all powerful rene
dies to have organized UHiyerSaI Dispense
ry for the sick Of all nations without regard
to creed or color, whether civilized or saw
age, simple in their all sufliciency and with
in the reach of all.
What has led to these remarks at the pres.
ent was a visit we paid some time since to DR..
IIolloway's establishment in New York, and
the inspection with which we were then
favored Of some of the inuumerable proofs of
his vast enterprze, from which we deduce the
almost inconeeiyable extent to which his la.
bors have extended, aud The consequent uni.
versal acceptation of his twin remedies as
specifics for internal and external disease
pages might be written in adducing proofs of
this, but one will serve to elucidate the fact
the most sceptic. In proportion as countries
are distinct and diversified, so are the means
Of reaching all the scattered members of the
human family difficult to accomplish. To do
this, it would be necessary to employ an al.
most "Pentecostal" array of different tongues
Accordingly, in almost every living language
has this enterprising man made known his
mission to suffering humanity, and in no less
than thirty distinct dialects have the Won
drous properties of his medicines been actu
ally printed, thus in their own tongue ena-
bling millions to apply to their own peculiar
cases these all powerful curatiyes.
Such "Giant Strides as these show the
possibility of one master mind successfully
competing with the capacities of hundreds
backed by science itself Philadelphia Press

The SUPREME Court BRIBERY CAsE.-The
Nevada Democrat, noticing Latham's speech
at Nevada, says
Mr.. Latham's defense on the charge of hav-
ing attempted to brbe the Supreme Court
was evidently prepared with great care and
caution, but in our opinion he left gaps
through which six horsemen can ride abreast.
OF this, however, we shall be able to Judge
better after seeing the documents in print
He read letters from some of the gentlemen
referred to as knowing to the facts, and from
others whose names have not been mentioned
in connection with the matter, to prove his
innocence. The letter of Judge Heydenfelt
stated in substance that Judge Murray had
made the charge against Latham, and there
was talk of having him expelled from the
bar, but that subsequently Judge Murray had
become satisfied that the charges could not
be made out, and the matter was dropped
letter was read from Mr.. Mcconnell, who
stated that the Supreme Court had not in
structed him to comm ence suit against La
than for the alleged bribery. He referred,
OF course, to the Supreme Court in its official
capacity, but he said nothing as to what in
formation he had received from the individ-
ual members of the Court We are informed
that Mr.. Mcconnell has stated in this place,
that he was requested by Judge Murray to
commence proceedings against Latham and
two others, on the alleged bribery charge
Latham accounted for his not appearing as
an attorney before the Supreme Court dur
ing the latter part of Judge Murray's life
time, on the ground that he had abandoned
the practice of his profession, sold his libra
ry, DC.
