The Clevelapd Leader saws that gen

- The Cleveland Leader says that gentle
man in that city, who prides himself on his
personal appearance, lately sought to remove a
grease spot from his coat tail, by the free use
of benzine, and then stood close to the stove
that the odor might evaporate more quickly.
He was correct in his theory, but unfortunate
in practice, for he was soon turning cartwheels
through the window, and there was not enough
coat tail left to make "weskit" for doll-ba-
by. He does not ride horseback now; and
he sleeps on all-fours like mule. 20. -
DR.. Batty, of Rome, Ga, recounts in the
Atlanta Medical journal a novel surgical oper-
alton which he has successfully performed upon
one of his female patients, and to which he
gives the name of normal ovariotomy," mean
ing thereby the extirpation of the healthy
ovaries for the relief of functional disturb
ance. The operation is assuredly bold one,
and in the case in question apparently had a
happy result. But, without detracting from
the brilliant skill of the operator, it may per-
haps be suggested that this sort of remedial
procedure bears some resemblance to that
adopted by the gentleman mentioned in "Pick-
WICK" who cut off his little boys head to cure
him of squirting.

The story, however, is good one, and should
be treasured in the memories of those who may

that it would be rather hard OH the paternal

;'THE Losr CAUsE."-In review of IRE
msrkable Sayings ofthe Great War; published
In Appktons Journal, Edward A. Pollard writes
as follows concerning the origin of the phrase
1.-THE Lost Cause:
This titular description of our late war, which
has become 80 popular on the southern side,
originated with the present writer. Shortly al
ter the war he proposed to write history of it.
He offered the work he designed to New York
publisher, who thought we'll of it, but objected
to the plainness of the title, "History of the
War" etc. The work thus entitled might be
confounded with some other inferior memoirs
of the war which the writer had already COM
posed-mere annals-"First Year of the War, "
ETC. "Could not some title be found more uni
qtie and captivating, and not quite 80 heavy9"
The writer promised to think of such title.
The next day he presented himself to the pub
Usher and said: II have thought of name for
the work 1 design. 1t is The Lost Cause "
You see, the bulk of the people of the South
were persuaded that we really contended for
something that had the dignity and importance
of cause.-The cause of constitutional liberty,
Though God only knows what the sequel might
have demonstrated.) I think there is some
thing of proper dignity in the word Cause :
then The Lost Cause is an advertisement of
something valuable that is gone; besides, the
associations of the title are tender and reveren-
tial-there is a strain of mourning in it. GLOW
do you like it?" "Excelently WE'LL" replied
the publisher; "it is just the thing" The title
proved an instant success, and has since become
monumental. The words "rhe Lost Cause
have been Incorporated into the common popu-
lar language of the South, and the universally
of their reception implies significance that is
itself interesting.

Editorial Notices are so common that il is
almost impossible for an editor to express his
honest opinion Of the merits of. any article
without being suspected ofintcrested motives.
This fact. however, shall not deter Us from
saying what we think Of a new addition to
the Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer to DR..
J. WALKER's CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs,
a remedy which is making its WY into more
families just now than the all other adver-
tised medicines put together, There seems
to be no question about the potency Of its
tonic and alternative properties, while it pos
sesses the great negative Recommendation Of
containing neither alcohol nor mineral poi
son That it is n specific for Indigestion,
Billiorsness, Constipation, and many COM
plants of nervous origin, we have reason to
know; and we are assured on good authority
that as a general invigorant, regulating aud
purifying medicine, it has 10 equal. 1t is
stated that its ingredients, obtained from
the wilds Of California; are new to the med
Zeal world; and its extraordinary effects GER
;ainly warrcnt the conclusion that it is a com
pound ofagents hitherto unknown. If pop
ularity is any criterion, there can be no
doubt of the efficiency of the VINEGAR BIT
TERs, for the sale of the article is immense
and continually increasing.
