the medical profession, by whom, as
soon as principle or fact is discoy-

Letter from Grace Greenwood j..

Grace Green wood publishes the
following racy and characteristic let
ter in the fh:iadelphia Star:
EDITOR OF THE STAR.-Sir: | find
in your Issue of yesterday the follow
ing paragraph:
"Dr Lippincott (the husband of
Grace Greenwood,) 4 tourth-class
clerk in the Post-Office Department,
was all applicant for the position OF
General superintendent in the Post
Office Department, bat faite1 to get
the appointment"
During the visit of Mr.. Macready
to this country, as he was travelling
on a Western steamboat, he was
pointed out by waggish clerk, 10
rough backw oodsman, as Ole Bull,
who was then giving concerts in the
West. The great tragedian sat apart,
on the deck, wrapped in poetic con
temptation and insular dignity but
the tall Misseurian strode immedi-
ately up to him, and with startling
slap OH the shoulder. TINS addressed
him: Hello, old hoss! Old Bull |!
whar's yoar fiddle ,"
The stately actor turned upon him,
and, with IL ''withering look" and
i'll the most tragic tone, replied: Sir,
| am not "A horse, neither am | a bull,
neither have l a fiddle"
In like manner | have to reply
that Mr.. Lippincott of Philadelphia,
"the husband of Grace Greenwood,
il not 4 doctor;neither is he a"fourth-
class clerk in the PostOffice Depart
ment;" neither has he been "an APP
plicant for the position of General
superintendent of the PoSt-Otfice De-
partment :" neither has he failed To
get the appointment.
AS for the excellent DIR. Lippincott,
is it not enough that he should miss
of the office 10 which he aspired that
You must divorce him from his law
ful wife, 4 most eStimabie lady, and
bestow him upon stranger
As for Us, belonging To another
branch of the Lippincott tree, we
have applied for no office at Wash
ington, though We have, | will con
fess, held ourselves open o'the prof
fer OF iirst-class foreign mission.-
With slight solicitation we would
consent To be "a looker-on i'll Wen
ua, though, perhaps, Madrid would
be a better point, as our worldly pos
sessions principally consist of certain
dilapidated Castles in Spain" That
We missed of Paris was not, we feel
assured, because our hDnored Presi
dent loved Philadelphia less, but Ga
lena more. 4. Curtin has fallen up
on our hopes of St. Petersburg, and
II We mourn, il will not be Russian

James, it seems your Motley is the

think / have Sou,a reason To COM
plain OF you editors for apparently
CHASING me among the ''bigamistic
writers OF the day in assigning to
me so many amiable consorts. If
you would only vary TIE name occa-
eIonally there would Ice some relief
IN the variety but toujours Lippin-
cOtt
The same disclaimer / now put
forth for the benefit of DR.. Lippiu-
cott must apply To Mr.. J. Il. Lippin-
cott, the great publisher, and TO Gen.
Lippincott, late Doork eeper of the
Senate.
They are "all honorable men"
doubtless, but they are not my hus-
bands ami hereby warn all persons
against trusting me on their account.

Total Wedding Under Wear, S3J5
We We're told that the price oi
mems fancy pocket handkerchiefs,

by nothing but fancy. A handker-
chief can be made as costly, by the
use of fine lace and embroidery, a.
the folly of snobs may desire.
Why man should desire to wear
gorgeous suspenders at his wedding
1t is difficult To imagine, unless it be
that he may have the felicity OF
hanging them over a chair al night,
for the purpose Of dazzling the eyes
and exciting the admiration of his
intellectual bride. The rest of the

realities of domestic life.
In addition to all this absurd ex-
traVagahce for mems "under wear"
there Is much more of similarly
wast0fHl sort. There are meer-
schaums, and tobacco, and jewelry,
and beverages, and cover wear, uand
canes, and card cases, and all man
ner of follies, which entail domestic
disquietudes, and lead to home dis
comforts, which it is vain to expect
that servant girls or servant men can

The carrying trade on the lakes
has become immense. BY statistics
given in the Detroit Post it appears
that during the year 1868 there were
III steamers, 1T2 propellers, 261 tugs,
l6i2 sailing vessels, and - barges
plying on the lakes. The aggregate
tonnage was 639, 1913, and the total
value was S.:233 ,033 200. OF this fleet
rather more than a fifth in number
OF sail and in value, but less than a
NTH OF the tonnage, was Canadian
In comparison with similar statis-
ties for lo56 it appears that the trade
has Just about doubled in amount
and value in the twelve years. 1t is
not difficult To see that it Is capable
of still further and almost indefinite
expansion. The agricultural and
mineral resources of the West
though already pouring out their
wealth with such profusion, are as
yet comparatively undeveloped Ex-
peditious water transportation will
always be cheaper than land freights.
Canals, cHt-offs and other improve
ments Will soon lessen the distance
and the time required for bringing
the products of the West to market,
and it is not too much to expect that
while the railways will have all the
business they can do, many times
the present lake tonnage will still
find constant and profitable employ
nlent IN the same occupation.

class. 1t would not be surprising,
indeed, if the chief use made of the
canal should he to furnish 4 transit
for light draft steamers carrying
mails and passengers between EI-

more probable by the admission of
the friends of the enterprise that leav-

quire steam towage not only through
the hundred miles of canal, but also
through nearly the entire length of

thousand miles long. The fact that
the canal will be under the exclusive
control of the French government,
and hence liable at any time to be
closed against the shipping of rival
