.,usT as a matter of FORM"
-..,neS to the paper of a son of one of
.lcm in business in neighboring town. Mat
tiers went on as usual for some time after the old
gentlemen had adopted this bad habit of en-
dorsing the young mans paper But at length
this son and nephew discovered that he could
not pay his honest debts, and so informed his
father and uncle. The old gentlemen sat down
in their leather-bottom chairs to look over this
matter, and to decide on what they should do.
"Well," said Capt. A., eff L. has failed, |
suppose we have, too haven't we brotherH
why, yes" replied Capt E., 81 don't see but
we have; and if we have failed, we must take
down our Sign and not pretend to be doing
business in the ordinary way" These points
settled, the old gentleman proceeded to dismantle
their store of its weather-stained old sign, and
then sat themselves down to wait for creditors
to come IN and attach their goods and chattels
But TO their surprise nobody came near them
and they went through the forenoon as usual.
At dnner-time they made their way, with seri-
BUSINESS, to their respective homes and as Capt
E. reached his fine old mansion on H street,
he looked cautiously around, expecting to see
strange faces in his apartments. But seeing
none, he turns to his eldest daughter, and in a
solemn voice inquiries: as there nobody here
but the family, my daughter" Nobody,
father" "Have there not been any strangers
here this forenoonP "No one. Why, did you
expect any one, father" ''Why, yes. have
failed, my daughter; at least, | suppose have
for E. has; and expected the sheriffs here as
keepers"
But no sherfs came, and no creditors trou-
bled the old men. Everybody knew that they
would pay their honest debts and meet their en-
gagements ifitw in their power so to do; and
that it was useless and senseeSS to resort to the
usual methods of collecting debts of them. So,
in spite of all the brothers could do to fail and
have their property attached, nobody seemed in
clined to disturb them; and so they utterly
failed to fail, TO the great amusement of their
younger neighbors in trade, some of whom,
though now old themselves, continue to laugh
over Capt. E. & Co.'s attempt to fail.

A GOOD Word FOR ALAsKA.-Captain Hart
well, of New Bedford, who has had considerable
experience in whaling voyages in the Pacific and
Arctic oceans, saws that the climate of Alaska is
not too severe for Americans, and not SO trying
to the constitution as that of tropical countries.
The soil is adapted to grazing, and the common
vegetables are raised in abundance, which makes
it a good recruiting ground for ships. The cap
tain has unlimited confidence in the extent and
value Of the seal, salmon and cod fisheries, in
the gold mines, the timber and cranberry fields
OF Alaska, but says nothing about its strawber.

will cause an extensive emigration to Alaska,
and on the whole kinks the purchase a decided

intelligence. We had our doubts about the wis
dom of the purchase, but now the country is
bought and paid for let us by all means make
the best of it.

did not take a cloak worth S25, $50,

a piece of meat in each hand TO grease it all

satin dress and they will, perhaps, while wear
ing it, take up child with piece of chicken in
one hand and piece OF pork in the other, or a
cup of milk to drink, and, as likely as not,
some of it is spilled on her dress and then they

Doctors and Medicines.

The census tells us that there are in the United
States, in round numbers, 200 doctors, $4,000
more than in 1860. This is in the proportion of
one doctor to SIS inhabitants. In 1860 the pro-
portion was about one TO 572 Whether the
health of the people is deteroating at this rate,
and if so, whether this tendency is likely to be
checked by the increase in the number of doc
tors, are inquiries which the census dc
answer. A medical journal esti-

as correct, here are one hundred and
enty-hve million dollars spent annually by
the people of this country for preserving or re-
storing their health. 1t seems large sum, and
undoubtedly a great part of it is misdirected
and has an effect exactly contrary to that in
tended.
1t would be presumptuous to conjecture how
large a proportion of this amount is
thrown away, or worse, but we pre-
sumo that physicians of all schools of prac-
tice would agree that at least a fourth part is

harm than good, although they would not agree
so well in answering the question, which fourth
is so perverted. Nor would they agree any bet
ter in deciding what part of the "a 900 so called
physicians are quacks. There must be a great
many such Without taking part in the discus
sion between the rival schools of medicine, but
allowing that there are learned and useful men
in each of them, there are besides thousands of
utterly and consciously ignorant pretenders, and
perhaps thousands even more ignorant who are
themselves deluded into the belief that they
have some occult power or some fortuitously
discovered secrets of nature in their keeping for
the benefit of mankind. These pretenders
whom competent physicians of all classes would
denounce, prey upon the credulity of men not
always as ignorant as themselves.
But, after all, the amount wisely or unwisely
spent in the effort TO preserve health, is prob
ably greatly exceeded by the sum annually de-
voted to destroying it. The intoxicating liquors
alone used as beverages, cost the consumers
much more annually in money directly paid for
them, to say nothing of the enormous expenses
of various kinds to which the use of them leads,
and the misery and disgrace which it causes.
There are other habits also, very common, very
costly and very prejudicial to health. So long
as people will tipple, will use tobacco to excess,
over eat, and give themselves to debauchery and
self indulgence of various kinds, there will al.
ways be demand for doctors, and the desire to
be taking doctors stuff" though it is peril
Gus weakness, will be by no means the most
mischieyous propensity which men are inclined
10 indulge.

STRIPED BUGs.-The striped bug has come,
the saddest of the year. He is moral double
ended, iron-clad at that. He is unpleasant in
two ways. He burrows in the ground so that
you cannot find him, and he 1es away so that
you cannot catch him. He is rather handsome,
as bugs 60, but utterly dastardly in that he
gnaws the stem Of the plant close to the ground,
and ruins it without any apparent advantage to
himself find him on the hills of cucumbers
(perhaps it will be a cholera year, and we shall
not want any, the squash (small loss) and the
melons (Which never rpen). The best way to
deal with the striped bug is to sit down by the
hills and patiently watch for him. II you are

to set toad to catch the bugs. The toad at

among the lower animals. The difficulty is to
make the toad stay and watch the hill. If you
