Bradlaugb and Jenking in New york.

Mr.. Jenkins C'' Ginx's Baby y was
not so desperately bad rs the bulk. BE
had " highly intelligent audience to
hear him, and those words are used in
New York to describe five or six gentle
mon with high foreheads and as many
ladies. When the house is One-third
full it ceases to be highly intelligent. t."
When two-thirds full it is Charge and
fashionable, and after that it gets to be
a dense crowd, or a perfect jam. Jenk-
ms had the highly intelligent thing,
and, rather than to speak to such a
handful, I'd invite an idiot asylum and
a deaf and dumb school to fill up. Brad
laugh was injured, think, by the lithO-
graphs he brought from 'Ome and
strewed the town with. They represent
the gentleman as he appeared at Exeter
Hall, with his left foot on some iron
scroll work that runs round the plat
form, and his left hand is raised in
heavy argument fashion. The picture
in moment tires you with the attitude.
In every shop window there he stands
balancing on one leg, and the thing be-
comes so painful that after a dozen
blocks there isn't anything about you
you wouldn't give to get that mans leg
off that spike and put that menacing
fist into his paper pocket. It has tor
mented me so that don't dare look in
show windows. The boys are singing
the song of " Saw his leg off" 1t
would be a mercy if they wOuld.-dfT8.

Kate Field on Woman Doctors.

The American Register bases it's ar
guments as to women's unfitness for the
medical profession upon the assertion
that they cannot possess equal power
with men because their physical inferi-
ority limits the use of the brain. At
the same time, the Register speaks of
women as mems rivals. If women are
so inferior there can be no rivalry, for
rivalry pre-suppOses equality. There
fore, why should male physicians be
troubled at the appearance of tedious"
petticOats? is it because they are not
quite sure about woman's natural infe-
riority? But deny that all physicians
are opposed to female practitioners.
That many entertain a great prejudice
against them is true, and ought not to
excite wonderment. No one likes to
have his business interfered with. Pad
dy, the Irish labOrer, hates All Sin, ac-
cuses him of every vice under the sun,
and swears that the Chinese piP-tail has
come to take the bread out of his chill
dren's mouths. One corner grocery
does not adore the next corner grocery.
One prima donna is not the bosom friend
of another prima donna. The world is
fully acquainted with human natures
little weaknesses, and when it wants a
/ JIIAllCldl . D4IllOil dDOtlU All AOilis SOAAICl
grocery No. 2, or prima donna No. ?, it
does not go to paddy, or to grocer or
prima donna No. l. The larger part
of medical practice is among women,
consequently there is danger that wo-
men may prefer to be treated by their
own sex. AS the Register declares men
to be 'selfsh, " they can be forgiven for
turning their backs upon female aspi-
rants. All, however, do not. Some of
the most enlightened doctors of my ac-
quaintance are ever ready to lend assist
ance to struggling female medical eel
leges. One with whom I recently trav.
eled was more than generous in his es-
innate of woman's capacity for medi-
cine, and well known physician of New
York has recently given the strongest
possible evidence Of his sentiments by
becoming engaged to a young American
woman doctor, who, not able to pursue
his career in her own country, studied
abroad and took an honorable degree
in Paris. Physicians are slandered
when it is claimed that, as a body, they
are opposed to women as rivals"

Batting Without an Appetite.

It is wrong to eat without an appetite,
for it shows there is no gastric juice in
the stomach, and that nature does not
need food, and not needing it, there
being no fluid to receive and act upon
it, it remains there only to purify, the
very thought of which should be suffi-
cent to deter any man from eating with
out an appetite for the remainder of his
life. If tonic is taken to whet the ap-
petite it is a mistaken course, for its
only result is to cause one to eat more,
when already an amount has been eaten
beyond what the gastric juice is able to
prepare.
The object to be obtained is a larger
supply of gastric Juice, not a larger sup
ply of food ; and whatever fails to have
any efficiency towards the cure of dys-
pePtic diseases. The formation of gas
trie juice is directly proportional to
the wear and tear of the system, which
it is to be the means of supplying, and
this wear and tear can only be the re-
suit of exercise. The efficient remedy
for dyspepsia is work-eut-doOr work
beneficial and successful in direct pOr-
portion as it Is agreeable, interesting
and profitable.

Famous Trees.

Individual trees, planted by famous
men, are still to be seen by the pilgrims
who visit their homes and haunts. In
the last century, there was quite a fash
ion for planting willows. 1t is said
that the first weeping willow seen in
England was sent to the poet Pope, as a
present, from Turkey, by his friend,
Lady Mary Worthy Montagu, and
planted by him in his garden at Twick-
enham. 1t is the famous SaliG B0by-
lonica of the Psalter, upon which, on
the banks of the EUphratcs, the weep
ing daughters Of Jerusalem hung their
harps. Garrick planted two willows on
his lawn, beside his Shakespeare tenn
pie in the midst of a thunder storm,
which destroyed one of them, the pious
and devoted widow of the great actor
was seen running up and down, excl
tedly, CRYING out, Oh, my Garrick !
Oh, my Garrick T. The willow, known
as DIR. JohusOn's willow, at Litcutield

furniture and snuff boxes were made of
it and slips from it were planted, by
his admirers, throughout the neighbor-
ing country; an offset of the old tree
was planted on the same site Thomas
Moore tells us that, when Byron first
went to Newstead abbey, from Aber-
deem, at the age of 10, he planted a
young oak in some part of the grounds.
He had a notion COR thought he hadl
that as it hourished so should he Six

ANTIQUITY OF MAN,
Five Hundred Thousand Years at Least
-SpecuIRtiOns OF MIR. Alfred RussCi
Wallace.

Five Hundred Thousand Years at Least
-SpecuIatiOns Of MIR. Alfred Russei
Wallace.
In the issue of Nature for Oct 2,
Alfred Russell Wallace INDUCES in some
speculafiops on the probable antiquity
of the humaR species, which may well
startle even those who have long since
come to the conclusion that 5000 years
carry us but n small way back to the
original homo. In fact, in Mr.. Wal
lace's reckoning, 5000 years are as
day. He begins by complaining of the
timidity of the scientific men when
treating of this subject, and points out
the fallacy of always preferring the
lowest estimate, in order to be " ON the
safe side. He declares that all the
evidence tends to show that the safe
side is probably with the large figures.
He reviews the various attempts TO de
termine the antiquity of human remains
or works of art, and finds the bronze
age in Europe to have been pretty
accurately fixed at 3, 900 to 1000 years
ago, the stone age of the Swiss lake
dwellings at 5000 to 1000 years and
an indefinite anterior period" The
burnt brick found sixty feet deep in the
Nile alluvium indicates an antiquity of
90, 900 years another fragment at
seventy-twO feet gives 10000 years.
"A human skeleton found Mt a depth of
sixteen feet below four buried forests,
superposed upon each other, has been
calculated by DR.. Dowler to have an
antiquity of $4,000 years" But all
these estimates pale before those which
Kent's cavern at TOrqUay legitimates.
Here the drip of the stalagmite is the
chief factor of our computations, Civ
ing us an upper floor which " divides
the relics of the last two or three thou
sand years from a deposit full of the
bones of extinct mamalia, many of
which, like the reindeer, mammoth and
gluttou, indicate an arctic climate"
Names cut into this stalagmite more
than 200 years ago are still legible; in
other words, where the stalagmite is
twelve feet thick, and the drip still very
cOpIOus, not more than n hundredth Of
foot has been deposited in two cen
turies-a rate of five feet in 100000
years. Below this, however, we have a
thick, much older, and more crystalline
Il. e., more slowly formed stalagmite,
beneath which again, " in solid brec-
cia, very different from the cave of
earth, undoubted works of art have
been found. Mr.. Wallace assumes
only 100 600 years for the upper floor,
and about $50, 600 for the lower, and
adds 80, 600 for the intermediate cave
earth, by which he arrives ut the "sum
of half a million as representing the
years that have probably elapsed since
hnts of human workmanship were bU-
ricd in the lowest deposits of kent's
cavern.

OPINIONS OF THE PREss.-The Texas
New Yorker says: g An old Scotch ply
sician once said to one of his patients ::
Keep your feet warm, your head cool,
and your bowels open, an there's little
'ilse can harm We This aphorism is
full of wisdom, and expresses exactly
what Dr. Walkers California Vinegar
Bitters will do for you. We speak of
what we know from nearly two years
practical experience in the use of this
indispensable family medicine. It's of
flee is to attack a lazy, torpid liver, and
impart new life to this vital organ-a
proper flow of bile and prompt dis
charge of effete matter. \ good diges-
ton and appetite are restored to the
sufferer. Pure blood, the life of the
flesh, IS secured, and the patient soon
feels himself a walking electrical bat
terry. Good health is more precious
than fine gold Vinegar Bitters restores
it, and is, therefore, above price. The
man who discovered it is a philosopher
and benefactor of his race.

The First Element of a Home.

/ never saw n garment too fine for
man or maid there was never a chair
too good for a cobbler or cooper to sit
in ; never a house too fine to shelter the
human head. These elements about us,
the gorgeous sky, the imperial sun, are
not too good for the human race. EIe-
gance fits man. But do we not value
these tools Of housekeeping a little more
than they are worth, and sometimes
mortgage home for the mahogany we
would bring into it ? I had rather eat
my dinner off the head of a barrel, or
dress after the fashion of John the Bap-
fist in the wilderness, or sit on a block
all my life, than consume all myself
before I get a home, and take so much
pains with the outside that the inside
was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty
Is great thing, but beauty of garments,
house and furniture IS a very tawdry
ornament compared with domestic love
All the elegance in the world viii not
make a home, and I would give more
for a spoonful of hearty love than for
whole ship-loads of furniture, and all
the uphOlesters of the world could
gather together.
