A Novel Cure for Dyspepsia.

The following is DR.. Brown-Sequard' S
method Of curing dyspepsia, which he claims
has been successful. in the majority of cases,
during the last ten years of his practice:
The plan consists of using but very little
solid or fluid food or any kind Of drink at a
time, and giving those things at regular i'll
tervals of from ten to twenty or thirty min
utes. All sorts of food may be taken in that
way; but during the short period that such a
trial is made, it is obvious that the fancies of
the patient are to be laid aside and that nour-
ishing food, such as roasted or breiled.meat,
and especially beef, mutton, eggs, well-baked
bread, and milk, with butter and cheese and
a very moderate quantity of vegetables and
fruit, ought to constitute the dietary Of the
patients we try to relieve. This plan should
be pursued two or three weeks, after which
the patient should gradually return to the Or
dinary system Of eating three times day.
The only absolutely essential points are that
the amount of food taken every ten, fifteen,
twenty or thirty minutes be very small (from
one to four mouthfuls), and that the amount
of solid food in day be from thirty-two to
forty ounces, or little less when, instead of
water, the patient drinks beef tea or milk.

A Secret RenefactOr.

Some one in London has for several years
been doing good by stealth on scale of ex-
traordinary magnitude. The modus operandi
has been for an elderly man, presumably not
the donor, to enter bank and ask for the
subscription book of charitable society. 1t
is presented to him. He writes down P. Q.
w., or whatever the initials may be, hands a
bank note for huge amount across the coun-
ter, and takes his departure An idea is now
prevalent that this splendid benefactor is one
of the heirs of Mr.. Thornton, who died
about seven years since, leaving some $15,-
100000. A year ago a notice appeared in
the Builder newspaper, to the effect that
gentleman was ready and willing to give ben
efactions exceeding those of the late Mr..
Peabody, could he hit upon some perfectly
satisfactory plan for so doing; but he was
conscious that to give charity in a manner
which should really do COED was most dill
cult. He asked for suggestions. ,Pending<a
satisfactory hint, it may be presumed that ne
expends his superfuous income as described.
Three weeks ago fifty R1ausand dollars were
thus bestowed in great sums by donors CIV
inc three initials. No doubt they came from
the same person. Was charity, which will
not let the left land know what the right
does, ever done before on SO grand scale

BOYS Idea Of Heads.

The Young american, a spicy four-and-l
half by eight sheet, published at Rodgersville.
Tenn, every week, by Frank A. Speek,
brings up a ''boy's composition Oh ''heads, .
as follows: Heads are of different shapes
and sizes. They are full of notions Large
heads do not always hold the most Some
persons can tell just what a man is by the
shape of his head. High heads arc the best
kind. Very knowing people are called long
headed. A. fellow that won't stop for any
thing or anybody, is called hot-headed. If
he isn't quite SO bright they call him soft
headed, and i ," can't be coaxed or turned
he is pig-headed. Animals have very small
heads. There are barrel heads, heads of SER
mons. and some ministers used to have fifteen
sermons; pin-heads; heads of cattle, as the
farmer calls his COWS and oxen head-winds,
drum-heads, cabbage-heads, at loger-heads,
come to head, like boil, head of n chap
ter, head of the family, and go ahead--but
first be sure you are right, and last of all
head him off.

public.

New HAVEN, May 14-The National En-
campment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public met at noon, Gen. Burnside presiding.
After the transaction of the routine business,

the next session at Harrisburg.
At meeting of the Cavalry Corps Asso-
citation Gen. Sheridan presided. The society

the shout was given, "Here comes Grant, ="
and as soon as the President made his APP
pearancc in front of the audience the entire
assemblage rose to their feet and three deaf
ening cheers went up from a thousand voices
in honor of the chief magistrate. After

troduced the orator of the day. Gen. Devins,
who delivered an eloquent address, at the
conclusion of which, Van Zandt read poem.

words TO the audience. The other distin-
guished gentlemen on the stage were each
called out in turn and made brief responses.

characterization and its Fate.
.Om the Pail Mall (LondOn) Gazette.


The fact that the Papists are coming by
rapid steps to occupy the position Of a
political party which other parties who have
the power must try not only to withstand but
to weaken, as far as possible, by such legis-
ton as affects them, has several sides to it.
If, on the one hand, the UltramOntanc way
of thinking shows greater vitality than many
persons would have them inclined to ascribe
to it at no very distant period, it must be re-
membered, on the other hand, that it will be
defeated with greater case and unpleasantness
in proportion to the degree in which its posi-
ton comes to be understood and defined,
especially in this country. The one advan-
tagc which UltramOntancs possess is the dis
tinctness and unity of their policy. In all
cases of doubt and indccision this advantage
gives great force to those who possess it, and
in particulars it gives them great apparent
force. The preponderance of the Southern
over the Northern States for many years be-
fore 1861 was a good illustration of this.
Their one OBJ ject was to maintain slavery and
to extend its era, and to this end they worked
the whole power of the Union, of which they
obtained the command by the threats of Sc
cession. The result at last was that after a
whole generation of humiliation the North,
which was in reality ten times stronger than
the South, also came to know Its own mind,
and having arrived at that knowledge, put all
end forever to slavery and the policy that
grew out out of it. Ultramontanism is rap
idly drawing similar fate on itself. NO
political party eyer crowcd SO loud or made
such extravagant claims, or announced with
such passionate eagerness its opposition to all
the established opinions of society, or forced
upon them with such arrogance and self
sufficiency the alternative between absolute
submission to itself and absolute revolt against
the order of ideas of which it claims to be
the representative. The policy has produced
and is producing it's effects. An inarticulate
growl is to be heard in many quarters, which
one day may swell into roar to this effect:
"Well, if you must have it you shall have it.
If we must either submit to you or cast OFT a
great deal which we have hitherto treated
with civility, our choice will not be difficult.
Whatever may be true, you and your creed
are unquestionably false; and by the heavens
above and the earth beneath-nay, by the
breeches-pocket and all that therein is-we
will not only not be l,ullied by you, but We
will consider seriously how far we arc justi-
fed in allowing you to bully your dupes. "
Once in its history the English nation had
occasion to express in an emphatic way its
opinion of the Pope and all his works. If it
is bated beyond certain point, it will be apt
to express the same opinion still more en-
phatically and with wider sweep; and it it
does, it is to be hoped it will make much
cleaner work than it did before.

How the Word ssBOst0n'' was Made.

A writer in the Good Neps thus incidentally
mentions the curious derivation of the name
Boston: "Lincolnshire, or Lindsey, as the
land south of the Humber was formerly
called, received the gospel from the good
Bishop Paulinus, in the seventh century. In
the same century a pieus monk, known as
St. Botolph, or Botholp,-that ia. Boat-help
founded church at a place called Y Y-cean-ho.
The town which grew up around it was
called Betolph's Town, contracted into
Bot-olphs-ton, Bot-os-ton, and finally Boston.
1t was from this town that the Rev. John
Boston came to America and gave the same
name to the seaport in which he settled in
Massachusetts,. St. Botolph, or Boat-help,
is the patron saint of sailors, and the spire of
his church supports, three hundred feet high
in the air, lantern visible at sea forty miles,
thus both lighting the worshippers home
from the stormy sea, and pointing their way
to the haven of rest 1t was under the
shadow of the tower of that old church that
Jean IngelOw was born. .f.

,rHsE MAIDS SOLILOQUY.

Alas! the seasons come and go,
They bring no change for me;
I'm sitting where, year ago,
slipped my Oolong tea,
My mirror opposite proclaims
The sad, unWhOlesOmc truth,
That all the charmes l DOasted once
Are passing like my youth.
NY raven locks are changing fast,
NY face betOkcns bile;
My voice seems cracked, for when l sing,
My saucy nieces smile.
l seek in books the largest type
Not that my eyes are dim
must have strained the optic nerve,
Looking in vain for HIN.
All. once thought that Sandy Beau
Would offer me his hand;
But he was drafted to the war
And killed at Cumberland!
Then John McMartin walked with me
From church that rainy day;
But '.war widow" drafted him
And took him home last May.
Ny hopes are like the withercd leaf,
Borne on the Autumn blast;
My brightest morning sun at noon
With clouds is overcast.
The streets are full Of flirting girls
Such horrid, s,ck'nig sights
can't endure; I'll take the stump,
And 90 for womans rights!

THE New York Times, reviewing tho action
of the Republican party the past year in It's
exposures and condemnation OF corruption,
says truly: '.1t is idle to talk of such party
being corrupted. 1t cannot be so until the
proportion of the good men and bad men III
it are reversed. Before that can occur there
must be struggle, in which we believe the
bad will have to succumb. We admit that
the Republican party Will, sooner or later,
have to throw off those of its active members
who are corrupt, or perish; but we have no
fear that it will perish

A BOOlblaCk Story.

During slight lull in business, two little
bootolacks, one white and the other black,
were standing on corner doing nothing
when the white bootblack agreed to black the
black bootblack's boots. The black boot
black was of course willing to have his boots
BACKED by his fellow bootblack, and the
bootblack who had agreed to black the black
bootblacks boots went to work. When the
bootblack had blacked one of the black boot
blacks boots until it shone in manner that
would make any boot black proud, this boot
black, who had agreed to black the black
bootblack's boots refused to black the other
boot of the black bootblack until the black
bootblack, who had consented to have the
white bootblack black his boots, should add
five cents to the amount the white bootblack
had made backing other mems boots This
the bootblack whose one boot had been
BACKED refused to do, saying it was good
enough for black bootblack to have one
boot blacked, and he didn't care whether the
boot the bootblack hadn't blacked WAS black
ed or not. This made the bootblack who had
blacked the black bootblack's boots as angry
as a bootblack often gets, and he vented his
wrath by splitting on the black boot of the
black bootblack. This reused the latent pas
sion of the black bootblack, and he proceeded
to boot the white bootblack with the boot the
white bootblack had blacked. A fight then
followed The fraternity of bootblacks after
wards convened and denounced the action of
the white and black bootblacks as one of the
blacklist in the pages of boOtblack history

Helena, Montana, Thursday, May u, 1873:
Fast Railroad Time.

The Hartford C0urant has recently inter-
viewed some railroad men, and publishes the
information thus obtained. On the point OF
fast driving it says:
Superintendent Davidson said he never yet
run an engine without cars attached as fast
as it could CO. The stories about an engine
running eighty OF ninety miles an hour are
absurd. We have rs good engines as any
road in the country, and there are not many
that can run over a mile minute with light
train. An engineer who is getting all he can
out of his machine is often very apt to find
the second hand Of his watch come around
Just before the mile post is passed. There is
an impression prevalent that an engine Will
90 faster with two or three cars behind, just
to steady it. This is fallacy. Every ounce OF
weight .detracts from speed. The express
trains on this road used to run faster than
they do now, but it didn't pay. In 1854, just
before the Sunday night mail train was put
on, there was an effort made by the four
roads forming connecting line between New
York and Boston to sec how last a train
could rum The train consisted of only two
cars, and no passengers were carried. On
this road the engine New York, II. Is. Hunt,
engineer, On the trains trial trip, ran from
Springfield to Hartford, twenty-six miles, IN
thirty minutes, three minutes being lost III
slowing down over the bridge at Warehouse
Point. From Hartford to Meridian, eighteen
miles, the time was twenty-five minutes, and
from Meridian to New Haven, a like distance,
twenty minutes. This was certainly great
achievement for an engine with 14-nch
cylinder. 20-inch stroke and 81 foot wheel
After permanent arrangements were made
for the train, each road was obliged to keep
up to the time table or forfeit $500 on each
occasion when it was to blame for the delay
On the Boston and Albany road the tifty-four
miles between Springfield and Worcester were
run by the engine Whistler, 16-inch cylinder,
22-inch stroke, and 64-foot driving wheels,
in tifty-cjght minutes. Owing to some mis-
hap the engine on the New York road did
not make good time. One of the best runs
ON the road was made by the special train
under the charge of Superintendent Reed,
conveying the Grand Duke Alexis, in 1871.
The engine Mercury, engineer Patterson,
made the run from New Haven to Meridian
in twenty minutes, from Meridian to Hartford
in twenty-five minutes, and from Hartford to
Springfield in thirty minutes. Three OF four
years ago the engine G. F.. Pond drew two
cars, with an excursion party, to the ftna
Peat Works, near Meridian, fourteen miles,
in sixteen minutes, using peat as fuel. MIR.
Reeds dummy engine is probably the fastest
on the road 1t has run from New Haven to
Newington, thirty miles, in thirty-one minutes.
