MEDICAL GUESSWORK.-Ihe profess
sional treatment Of disease is in a great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes
this hit-or-miss practice is pursued I'M
til the resources of the faculty is ex-
hausted. This, in the truest sense of
the word, IS empiricism. But when the
physician has made a valuable discove-
~ he is called by his professional bre-
thren an Empiric, because he advertises
the result of his labor and research.
When DR.. Walker of California intro
duced his celebrated VINEGAR BITTERs
as a remedy for all blood diseases, he
struck tremendous blow at the empi-
rical system, as applied in our hospitals
and in private practice. 1t was soon
apparent that his medicine was not a
mere palliative or alternative that only
modified the symptoms of a disorder !;
but that it reached the very source OF
the malady IN the blood and the secre-
tons, and literally rooted it out. The
process Of renovation and disinfectiOn
went on together, vigOr was impaired
to the organs from which the virus of
disease had been expelled. That such
is the effect of this popular vegetable
remedy no one who has had oppOrtuni-
ties of observing its operation in cases
of liver complaint, indigestion, affec-
tions of the bowels, govt, rheumatism,
and pulmonary disorders, can possibly
doubt.

That riIed me some, but I kept my
tongue still, inwardly swearing to break
his bones the very first opportunity
that presented itself. / saw there was
no use in saying anything, so went
home and went to bed, and all the rest
of the night / was dreaming about rain
bows, angels, butterflies, fddles, wild
ows and doctors, mixed up worse than
a Dutchman's dinner.
"Well, Squire, to make a short story
of it, made up my mind to have the
widow, or kill myself or somebody else.
so I made it convenient to be on
hand where she was, upon all occa-
sions. / couldn't eat nor sleep nor
work, and if the thing had held on, I
wouldn't have sense enough to skin a
rabbit But I was determined it
shouldn't last long, for I'd been fooled
so often by women that I thought I
wouldn't give her time TO think of any
thing but me. She appeared to take
me right sharply, and the doctor seem
ed to mix in with me, but didn't con-
slider him much more than a brush
fence, for was so far gone I thought
she could see nobody on earth but me.
Well, Squire, things went on so foI
about month, and on Sunday screw
ed up my spunk and put the question
to her. She sorter laughed and sorte1
looked one sided, and finally told me
she couldn't give me an answer just
then, but if I'd call at her house next
Thursday evening, she'd give me a final
answer. Thinks I, you're mine just as
sure as there's a fiddler below. When
ever a woman takes time to study she'll
say yes. Squire, don't the poets say
something about the calculation of men
and rats going crooked? ?"
Mice and men, Burns says" l

Well, mice and rats is all one. and
so is men and fools sometimes, as I have
found out in my travels. 1 was so sure

SPEAKING of the wit of Buchanan
Read, a recent magazine article says
It was only few mornings before he
breathed his last that dear friend, sit
ting by his bedside, held his wasted
hand. Upon one finger was a beautiful
cameo ring. All, I see you have a head
of Shakespeare, she said, as she exam
ined the well-cut features of the bard.
Yes, he answered feebly; it was the
only way could get ahead of him.

Peeuliarities of Different Languages.

The Hindoos are said to have no word
for " friend" The Italians have no
equivalent for our " humility" The
Russian dictionary gives a word, the de-
finition of which is " mot to have enough
buttons on your footman's waistcoat -
a second means to "kiII over again ;" a
third, " to earn by dancing ;" while the
word "knOut, " which we have all learn
ed to consider as of exclusively Russian
meaning and application, proves upon
investigation to be their word g knut, -
and to mean only whip of any kind -
The Germans calls thimble a Ginger
hat, " (Which it certainly isl and grass
hopper a "hay-hOrse. A glove with
them is a hand-shoe," showing evi-
IDENTIFY that they wore shoes before
gloves. Poultry is "feather cattle, -
whilst the names for the welI-known
substances, "oxygen " and hydrogen
are, in their language, sour-stuff," and
6 water-stuff" The French, strange to
say, have no verb, ''to stand, nor can
a Frenchman speak of 90 kicking" any
one. The nearest approach he, in his
politeness, makes to 1t is, to threaten to
give a blow with his FOOT" the same
thing probably to the recipient, in
either case, but it seems to want the di-
rectness, the energy, of our "kick. "
Neither has he any word for " baby, "
nor for "home," nor g comfort. The
terms upstairs and downstairs -
are also unknown in French. In En-
glish we "cure meat and " cure sick
people, and like our girls to be "quick, -
but never wish to see them " fast.

The officers aud Of Arapiles

Il coal-barge sunk In front of 1t and
thus blocked up the way. That the
barge should have sunk Just in that
place, aud just at that precise time
when the Spaniard was about to go
to sea, was certainly ali extraordi-
nary coincidence-about as cx-
traOrdinary. indeed, as that which
characterized the upsctting of MIR.
Wel'er'scoachful of voters just before

strange that the Spanish officers are
excited, sincc they cannot now 90 10

spend there time leani6g over the
bows of their frigate and hurting
strange and unimtrlligiblc oatl,s Mt
the wOrkmen engaged in tho ut
tempted removal of the barge. Even
this. however, fails to reliev- their
minds, forthey insist that, while there
are pumps in the avy pard which
could raise the sunkcm barge IN a few
hours, the pump now used flor that
purpose cannot pump tho water out
as fast MS it runs in. Every humane
man will sympathize with the unfor-
tunatc Spaniards, and hope that the
Arapiles will be able to put to sea- bv
the time that orr difficulty viii,
Spain is over. Still, il is very sad to
find that our Spanish guests actually
believe that the sinking of tue barge
was not All accident. Such want of
faith i'll human nature is very shock
