TIGERS FATAL AS WARs.-A paper
recently read before the Social Science
Society of London by Captain Rogers,
gave some astounding figures in illustra-
tion of the yearly destruction of human
life by wild beasts in India: ga single IT,
gress caused the obstruction of thirteen
villages, and 25e square miles of country
were thrown out of cultivation. Wild
beasts frequently obstruct Government
survey parties. In 1869 one tigress kill
ed l27 people, and stopped public road
for many weeks. In January, 1868, a
panther broke into the town of Chicola,
and attacked, without the slightest prov
ocation, the owner of field. Four per-
sons were dangerously wounded, and one
died. Man-eating tigers are causing
great loss of life along the whole range
of Malay Mally Forest. There are five
Of them. One is said to have destroyed
100 people, Writing from Nuydunca,
1865, a gentleman says one tigress. in
l967-S-9, killed respectively 27, "a and
47-total, 1OS-people. This same tt
ger killed a father, mother and three
children; and the week before she was
shot she killed seven peoples" In Lower
Bengal alone, in period of six years,
were killed by wild beasts, l3,40l. In
South Canaree, in July, 1867, forty hu-
man beings were killed by wild beasts. >
Finally, Captain Rogers concludes by
telling that the Chief Commissioner Of
the Central Provinces, in his report,
shows the following terrible returns OF
human beings killed by tigers: In 1866
ct, 372; 1867-68, 2S9; 1S68-69, 265
total, GAG. 1t appears that there are
difficulties in the way of killing down
these tigers. First, the supposltion Of
the natives, who regard the "man eating
tiger as kind of incarnate and spite
full divinity, whom it is dangerous to Of
fend; secondly. the failures of government
rewards; thirdly, the desire of certain
classes in India actually to preserve tt
gers as game, to be shot with the riff,
as matter of sport.

A celebrated comedian arranged with
a green grocer, one Berry, to pay him
quarterly /; but the green grocer sent in
his account long before the quarter was
due. The comedian, in great warmth,
called upon the green grocer, and, labor

was doubted, said; | say, here's pret-

Is SICKNESS SIN 2

A correspondent asks the opinion of
the Science of Health concerning the
sinfulness of sickness, calling our atten-
ton to the following platform of the
Battle Creek Hygienic Institute
PLATFoRM.-1. God, in the creation
of man, established laws pertaining to
both his moral and physical natures,
which, had he always obeyed them,.
would have given him immunity from
sickness, and would have perpetuated
his life. Sickness and suffering, which
so greatly mar the happiness of man,
had their origin in the violation of these
laws.
2. As man cannot have eternal life
without strict obedience to moral law, so
he cannot have deliverance from the ter
rible bondage Of sickness and premature
death in this world without strict obser-
vance of physical law.
8. The moral and physical natures of
man are so intimately related, that it is
impossible to live in violation of either
of these laws without doing violence to
the other. Physical law, therefore, in
its sphere, is as sacred and binding up
on man as moral law.
4. The gospel teaches that man should
live healthfully as well as righteously.
5. We recognize in nature the power
to restore to health without the aid Of
medicines. The true physician supplies
conditions Nature cures.
6. Our materia medica: Good food,
pure air, pure soft water, light, heat. ex-
ercise. proper clothing, rest, sleep, moral
and social influence.
7. Our motto: Temperance in all
things. Not only in eating, drinking,
and in labor, but in everything that
tends to exhaust the vitality of the sys-
tenn.
S. 1t has been we'll said: A content
ed mind is continual feast. A we'll
founded trust in God is the best and
surest promoter of cheerfulness of mind
and without this all other means may
fail.
We endorse every word of that plat
form unreservedly. Sickness is sin in
the same sense that remorse of con-
science is sickness. In scientific phrase,
both are penalties or consequences oi
transgression-the effects of SHINING. Tc
be sick, therefore, implies disobedience
to the laws of the vital organism; and
all transgression of Gods law, whether
moral or physical, is sin, and nothing
else. When the preachers of moral
righteousness will teach obedience to all
of the laws of our being, ''the world will
be the better for it :"

The Portland Orr Herald has obtain
ed these particulars of Capt.Jack's an
tecedents from Mrs. Joseph Knott, an
old lady of that city: In the year 1861.
while living at Canonville, Douglass
county. an Indian boy came to their house
and, speaking the jargon. desired to live
with them. He was one of the Rogue
river Indians, and belonged to the tribe
then located on Cow creek. She noticed
that he appeared to be an active, keen,
sErewd-looking boy, and with the consent
Of her husband took him to raise, with
whom he remained several years. AS
soon as the boy was assured that they
intended to keep him, he insisted on hav-
ing Boston name, as he called it,
aud wished to be named after the best
looking of Mrs. .Knott's children. This
being appreciated by the mother, she de-
cided to name him after her son-their
ages, apparently, being the same-and
this son was J.Knott, better known as
Jack Knott. The boys grew up together,
and many were the days they spent in
the sports of the chase. On one occa-
sion, after he had been with them some
time, he became offended because he was
told to leave the room, and loaded his
rifle with the intention of shooting Levi
Knott, but was discovered in season to
prevent his designs. This circumstance
led to his expulsion from the family, and
from that until the present time he
has not been seen by them, except in
1856, the year in which he murdered
Mrs. Harris, after which Jack went to
the Goose Lake country His mother
was full sister to Rogue River John,
who attempted to seize the steamer Col
umbia while she lay at anchor in the
harbor of Crescent City, and also half
sister to the War-Chief Sam, Of the same
tribe, and Chief Joe, who received his
appellation from having fought Gen.Joe
Lane. All of these facts and many 9TH
ers which we have no space to mention
were recently confirmed by Judge Prim
of eastern Oregon, who communicated
these particulars to Mrs. Knott, stating
that the great Modoc chief, Capt.Jack,
was the boy she took to raise in 1851.

The three richest men in America are
William b. Astor, A. L. Stewart and
Commodore Vanderbilt-ali residents of
New York city. Astor's wealth is MAIN
ly in real estate and its revenues; Van
derbilt's is mainly in railroad stocks
and their dividends; Stewards in goods,
houses, stores, factories, lands and stocks.
The aggregate wealth of each one of them
is supposed to be somewhere between
seventy-fve and hundred millions,
which looks rather heavy. Nobody
knows exactly; they couldn't tell them
selves within million or two. Those
who know most about their affairs put
their figures highest, and say that the in
come tax returnes of few years ago,
which showed each of them to be worth
between twenty and thirty millions, gave
no proper idea of their real worth Astor
lives unostentatiously; Vanderbilt lives
in three-story brick house on a third
class street; and Stewart lives in mar
BILE palace on Fifth avenue. more mag
nifcent than any residence on the Amer
ican continent. and equalled but by few
in any of the great cities of Europe.
Astor and Vanderbilt are New Workers
| by birth; Stewart is a native of the North
Of Ireland. Astor is large, heavy man
of 70, with strong features and a rubi-
cund face, indicative of high living Ste
wart is a medium-sized man, rather slen-
der and tall, of IS, with face like a
parchment, and gives the impression Of
being hard-up; Vanderbilt is a tall slim.
handsome, proud looking man Of nearly
80, straight as an arrow. Astor has
] heirs to his estate; Vanderbilt has chill
dren to whom he can leave his fortune;
but Stewart is chlldless. Astor's public
| benefactions are confined to something
like couple OF hundred thousand dol
lars, which he gave to the Astor library,
and the two golden candlesticks, nine
feet high, which he recently gave to Trim
ity church. Vanderbilt has never made
any public benefactions, excepting a
steamship to the government during the
war, till very recently, he gave million
dollars for educational purposes-one-
half of this sum to found university in
Tennessee, and the other half to another
educational institution. Stewart has
always had the reputation Of being very
close listed; but he must be credited with
his million dollar "Home for Women,
which will be completed next year. As
tor is a rigorous Episcopalian; Wander
bilt is an independent Methodist, and
Stewart is said to be inclined to thinking
for himself. Stewart is scholarly man.
Vanderbilt is not. Astor is an accom-
plished man of the world Cincinnati

THE OLD STORY AGAIN.. F. Fishe,

The OLD STORY AGAIN.. T. Fisher,
a verdent resident of Yarmouth, Mass,
was met, yesterday afternoon, at the Old
Colony depot by gentleman who re-
quested his aid in transporting some Sab
bath school books which he had purchas-
ed from uptown to the depot. Fisher
naturedly consented to assist in so
good cause, and the pair went up Essex
street towards the store where the pur-
chase had been made. AtBrimmer place
they were met by the proprietor of the
store, who stated that he had just sent
the books to the depot. The first gentle
man Immediately took out his wallet and
offered large bill in payment for the
books. The store-keeper was, of course
unable to change the bill, and Fisher
was asked to advance the necessary
amount, $3.50, which he willingly did.
All three then started for store on Elliott
street, where the larger bill was to be
changed and Fishers money refunded.
Arriving at Liberty Tree block, Fisher
was asked to wait a moment, while the
others attended to little business mat
ter within. After waiting an hour or
more, and seeing nothing of the men,
Fisher, with marked sagacity, suspected
something and called an officer. 1t is
probable that the men went through the
store, and making an exit on Washington
street, decamped with as much velocity
as they could summon.-Boston Globe.
In former years the unfortunate Rus
slams who were condemned to exile IN
Siberia suffered fearfully even before
they reached their dreary destination.
They were forced to make their long and
laborious journey on foot, marching in
all weathers, and often in chains which
wounded the flesh by constant friction.
The time occupied in the journey was
from one to two years. The prisoners
rested at fixed stations, and were attend
ed by officers and soldiers. who were
changed at each station. New arrange
ments have been made from time to time
by the Russian government. so that now
the health and comfort of the exiles are
provided for, and the government also
makes saving in the fewer number of
stations required. They are conveyed
the greater part of the distance by rail
or steamer, and winter marches are also
prohibited.

AN INCIDENT.-Romance in real life
is by no means rare, and story is told
of pair of lovers which owes its chief
interest to the fact that it is strictly true.
Years ago, a beautiful young Boston girl
was sent to the Vermont hills, to arrest,
if possible. the indications of approach
ing consumption. She recovered her
health, and meantime inflicted cureless
wound upon the heart of an intelligent
and well-educated young farmers son.
Unlike Lady We're de We're, she did not
scorn his affection, but returned it heart
lily, referring him to her father That
additionally unromantic parsonage
wouldn't hear to it, having, as is custom
airy in such cases, selected more suita-
BILE partner for his child. The young
man retired. went West, and made large
fortune, and the young woman married
the man prescribed by her father. She
went to live in France: her husband died
in two years, and, her parents also dying
she remained abroad. The memory of
her first romance faded with her as with
its object, who, though unmarried, was
too busy in making money for tender
thoughts. Last year his business took
him to Europe, and one night found him
on little steamer plying between Mar
seilles and Leghorn. A storm came up,
and lady, who had risen from her seat
on deck to 60 below, was thrown over
board by sudden lurch of the vessel.
The sometime farmer jumped after her,
and, though in the dark, the steamer
drifted away from them, they clutched a
providential plank and foated until
morning, when they were picked up by
another vessel. During that night, in
the cold and the darkness, they discov-
cred in each other the loved and lost Of
earlier years. The old feeling came back
in that fearful hour, and on their arrival
at Malta few days after their perilous
adventure they were married. End Of
the poetry. The rest is prose.

DIR. Stearns still continues bis Practice
at the Gibson House in this place. We
are told that his patients in this irnne-
diate locality that have gone hnder shis
treatment while he has been stopping
here. can be numbered BY hundreds, and
many have been entirely cured, wllhe
others have received great benefit from
his treatment.
The Doctor does not belong to that
class of Physicians who claim to cure
everything, if he cannot cure you he tells
you. So his motto is candor with all.
The taking of the monster Tape Worm
a few days since from one of our well
known citizens, and the many other re
markable cures that he has wrought IN
our own community, establishes his rep
utation as having but few if any equals
in his profession.
The Doctor will remain few days lon
ger at the Gibson House. All wishing
to consult him should call at once, as his
stay is limited.
