MEDICAL MANIACs.- s.-There are num-
bers of medical men SO welded to the
old formulas, that all changes seem to
them like innovations. These medical
maniacs are, fortunately, incapable of
much mischief in this practical age.
While the VINEGAR BrrrERs are curing
Indigestion, Nervous Debility, Consti-
patton, and countless other diseases
that defy the remedies of the pharma-
copoeia, it is impossible to thrust down
the throats of intelligent invalids
"heroic doses of mineral poison, or
to persuade them to take adulterated
alcohol, impregnated with cheap astrin-
gents, as !" healing balm " or bal
samic preparation. VINEGAR BITTERs,
pure botanical tonic, and Alternative,
guiltless of the curse of distilled or
fermented liquor, is actually accom-
plishing what the mineral and alcoholic
cure-mongers have soincessantly prom
ised but have never yet performed.
Under these circumstances it is no
wonder that this medicine has taken
precedence of all those burning fluids
mis-called onics.-COm.

State of Education i'm Persia,

The upper classes in Persia can gen.
orally read and writ0 and cipher little.
Their learning seldom goes beyond
that /; and there is a pious reason for
their ignorance. The Calph Omar sa-
gaciously observed that there was no
need of any book but the Koran be-
cause whatever could by any possibility
be good in literature was to be found in
it." Thus, although many of the Per-
sian Khans are almost as good scholars
as American village children in the first
year of their studies, yet writing is not
only an art in Persia, but it is a distinct
profession practiced by meerzas, who
go about with an inkhorn and a reed
and are much esteemed. There can
hardly be said to exist a Persian liter.
ature in modern times. There is O
newspaper Ga sort of court Journal
printed at Teheran, and now and then q
rambling tale, attributing marvellous
deeds and gifts to kings, and chiefly
occupied with "Naploon (Napoleon),
finds its way into print and Il limited
circulation. There is no such person as
a Persian publisher, and no such thing
as a Persian booksellers shop. Such
ancient books as are read by the learned
are still mostly in manuscript and beal
a very high price.

Sane or Insane.

Mary Harris (who killed Burroughs,
clerk in the United States Treasury
Department, some years ago, and was
acquitted on the plea of insanity has
been brought back to Washington from
Pennsylvania, whittier she fled after her
escapes from she Government Insane
Asylum across the eastern branch on
the evening of the 5th instant. Infor-
nation was received by the Washington
Detective Corps that Miss Harris was
in Louisburg, Pa, where some friends
were secretiug her. Two detectives
were Immediately dispatched to secure
her. She was traced from Louisburg to
Philadelphia, and was finally arrested
on one of the streets of that city. Upon
her arrival at Washington she was at
once taken to her old quarters in the
asylum. 1t has been learned that she
was aided in her escape from the asylum
by an employe who was charged to
watch her and who assisted her in
scaling he wall. From the asylum she
at once came to this city, pawned her
watch, and left on the first train North.
Miss Harris was originally consigned to
the asylum as an insane and dangerous
person some time after the Burroughs
trial. The detectives who brought her
back say that at present she seems to
be perfectly sane, with no symptoms
whatever of mental arrangement, and
that she says she will patiently wait for
the hour of her rescue.

About AlligatOrs.

All our alligators, says Galveston,
Texas, paper, as well as the crocodiles
of the topics, are oviparous. They are
gregarious in their habits, although
they do not seem to act in concert in OBJ
tanning their prey. During the winter
season the alligators remain in a state
of torpor, buried generally in the mud
of the marshes and bayous. The first
warm weather restores their suspending
vitality, and a few may then be seen
summing themselves on logs and other
floating debris.
They fish principally during thenight
and lie in the sunshine half asleep on
the surface of the water during the day.
A splash in the water, or any slight
noise in fact, will instantly arouse their
attention, and as their curiosity is great
they will slowly swim here and there to
ascertain the cause of the disturbance.
The whine of a puppy seems to excite
them more than aught else why, 1 can
not tell, for it is equally etficacious
where dogs have never previously been
and where it were impossible to suppose
the alligators had ever heard them. The
resemblance to the noise or bark of
their young has been said to be
a cause but such reasoning is fal.
lacious as at seasons when their
young no longer bark, they are
equally attracted by a whine. Their
ferocity and other dangerous qualities
have been very greatly overrated and
exaggerated. That they are extremely
voracious is unquestionable but they
generally con6ne their ravages to fish
and other small prey. The narrowing
tales of families being devoured by
them are the "veriest coinage of the
BRAIN" and have in reality no existence
whatsoever.

Destruction of Destructive Insects.

Our correspondent in Gadsen county,
Florida, writes as follows.
During the present week have re-
ceived reports from three different Sec
tions of the country announcing the ap-
pearance of the dreaded caterpillar.
These are doubtless sporadic cases, and
furnish no basis upon which to predi-
cate any ultimate result. While upon
the subject will state fact, which is
at least suggestive, and may lead to
good results. Some years ago L was in
formed by Prince Murat (now deceased,
but who then resided on his plantation
located fourteen miles east of Tallahas-
Sc, } that his crops of cotton had been
for several successive years protected
from the ravages of the caterpillar by
the intervention of numerous hocks of
the common blackbird," which preyed
voraciously upon these pests OF the cot
ton field. The secret advent to that To-
cality he attributed to the fact that his
negroes were in the habit of cultivating
small patches of rice in the damp places,
occurring in different portions of the
plantation. AS a confirmation of his
statement, 1 will state fact which
came under my own observation during
the past year. About the time that my
corn had fully matured, the " grass
caterpillars" suddenly made their ap-
pearance in the fields, and were rapidly
destroying the young grass, which we
highly value for fall pasturage. l OBJ
served at the same time that large
flock of domestic turkeys with their
young came up of an evening with their
craws very much distended. Suspect
ing the cause, 1 determined to watch
them, and found to my great gratifca-
ton that they were feasting upon the
caterpillars. In the course of day or
two not worm could be seen, and the
pasturage was saved. These facts sug-
gest the idea of introducing into the
cotton region the "English sparrow, "
which, understand, has proven an eff
fectual safeguard to the ornamental
trees in the vicinity of many of the
Northern cities. From the reported
habits and great fecundity of these
birds, entertain but little doubt that
if extensively introduced, they would,
in the course of very few years, prove
an effective antidote to the advent OF
this great enemy of the cotton plant

Thoughts Worth Preserving.

Our resignation and our faith must
not be merely general, but particular.
1t is in special instances we are put
upon our trial. We must not say,
could endure another sort of vexation,
but not this. could bear n different
annoyance, but not this. This is pre-
and perhaps, for the very reason that
we are so intolerant of it. The duty of
humble submission is as imperative I'M
der this rs under any other trial. The
privilege of faith lisa S great under this
as under any other. The promises of
the Gospel are not excluded from this
case. Could we look into the reasons
of state in the mediatorial kingdom, we
should see that we are visited with this
annoyance rather than any other for q
definite purpose, and that of inine
grace. When this purpose is ac-
complished, it will assuredly be remov-
ed w alexander.
A sense of uselessness is one of the
severest trials of old age. 1t is COM
mon complaint of old people that they
the way, and they are no longer capable
of active service in the cause of God. 1t
is not for them to argue about the pro-
violence which still keeps them in the
world. For themselves it may be that
atience may have her perfect work, and
that rare and illustrious finish may be
put upon their character. For others
also that their large experience may be
the heritage of the youth, and that the
good of the past may be brought down
and welded on to the present.
Past ages have produced valiant
Christian heroes, and the present has
need of them. The faith of the saints
will not be suffered to live without mo-
lestation now any more than heretofore.
1t matters little whether the assailant
be ribald atheist, or cultured skeptic
of some modern school, "the faith u
passes through continuous struggle
toward it's final victory, which victory
will most surely come. A millennial
day may dawn, but it is not yet. The
70, ces Of evil will doubtless all be sub
dued, but they die hard. No victory
comes before the battle.
Some children and some foolish
grown-up people think it very smart to
deceive others, and even frighten them
for fun" Sometimes such fun turns
out very seriously. Hear what the Bible
says about it {: "As q madman who
casteth brands, arrows and death, SC
is the man thet deceiveth his neighbor,
and saith, Am not in sport ?"-Prou.
rrUi. IS, 10.
One may live as conqueror, or 0
king, or a magistrate, but he must die
a man. The bed of death brings every
human being to his pure individuality
to the intense contemplation of that
deepest and most solemn of all relations
the relation between the creature anc
his Creator. - Webster.
But every good man is not born with
the gift of speech. There are deep.
minded, devout and earnest Christians
WHO can do everything else better thar
to address mixed assembly. They
are constitutionally timid, and slow
tongued; there is pure gold within
them, but they cannot coin it readily
into current words.

A Doctors Treatment Of Cholera,

A correspondent writing from Frank
lin, KY, where the cholera has been
raging, writes MS follows of the treat
ment by local doctor: There were
several very obstinate cases, when the
vomiting, ,purging, and cramping was so
violent the patient was unable to retain
any medicine two minutes. He imme-
dlately injected into each arm, by means
of hypodermic syringe, one-half grain
OF morphine, and in three hours, in one
case, as much as one and half grains
were introduced into the system by this
means. The result was, the vomiting
and purging were Immediately arrested,
and the patient remained perfectly quiet
for hours, and enabled the ordinary
means to act. 1 am not aware the doc
tor claims any originality in this treat
ment. Yet / have been unable to learn
of any others using it, and in every
case where he resorted to this means
the patient recovered, with but one ex-
ception and that, no doubt, was owing
to some indiscretion of the nurses.
or course, this is only a part of the
treatment, yet the doctor feels assured
without the use of the hypodermic
syringe and morphine the patient would
have passed into the collapsed stage
before any other remedies could have
acted and feel fully assured any of
the medical fraternity, where the epidem-
ic has not been, desiring to learn more
fully the character of the disease here,
and the treatment found most success
full, would be readily informed by the
doctor, or by any other member of the
profession here.

4 Martyr for Many.

So rare, says the London Daily Tele-
graph, is heroism in these days of
strikes and corners, of making
and cotton-spinning, that we are now,
more than ever, disposed to welcome a
noble deed, and nobler deed than that
of Plate-layer Elliot we may go far to
seek. Elliot was one of gang who
was repairing the metals of the London
and Southwestern line near Surbiton,
when the Exeter express came thunder
ing along. The plate-layers, of course,
dispersed, and were standing to let the
train pass, when Elliot's quick eye
caught heavy iron chain lying across
the metals, and he saw that, in another
moment, the train would leap from the
line and roll down steep embankment.
With courage as cool as that of the
little midshipman who picked up and
threw overheard loaded shell, Elliot
dashed forward and was just in time to
snatch the obstacle from out of the
path, and to avert q most terrible acci-
dent. He was just in time to save the
lives of others, but he was Just too late
by q second to save himself. The buf-
fer-board of the great express engine
caught him as he stopped with his
heavy burden, and dashed him high
into the air a corpse. For those who
love a brave deed, the memory of Elliot,
the plate-layer, will live long with that
of Elson, the pilot, and Ford, the fire.

Reduction of Rates.

There is no one thing which the press
in the large cities of the country has
been more uniform and persistent in
than in their persistent advocacy of
such reduction in the premiums charged
for life insurance as would bring that
protection from want within the reach
of every family. The National Life
Insurance Company of the United
States of America, E. A. Rollins, Presi-
dent, Jay Cooke, Chairman of Finance
Committee, capital larger than that of
any other life Company in the world,
has placed its rates at about three-quar-
ters of those charged by most compa-
nies, and wants an agent in every local
ity. 1t has the essential qualities OF
strength and cheapness, and we advise
all looking for full or partial employ
ment in life insurance to address the
Company at Philadelphia. Com.

Franklin gave excellent advice to peo-
pie who desired success in life; and yet
his rules were by no means infallible.
A man may, by industry and economy,
accumulate large amount of property,
and in the end he may lose it. 1t is
another f thing to keep It. There is no
doubt that a life insurance policy in a
good company is good investment in
the majority of instances. The money
is paid when the family most need it,
and it is usually beyond the reach of
creditors. We do not hesitate to rec
ommend the New York Life Insurance
Company as one of the strongest and
best, to all who seek insurance. Com.
