TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Having OF late read great deal about the many
thousands OF idle mechanics and others who arc
very clamorous against all moneyed corporations
or firms, would ask who Is to blame for all this
Are not they, the artisans themselves, having in
the laE few years, by their numerous society
skikes, driven the capital which was being en-
ployed to give them work away rom their doors
TO seek other investments where there was
some certainty OF hours and rates to be paid Not
less than 5000 buildings were stopped last spring by
their contemplated strikes. am mechanic my
sef and have always held myself alooT from
strikes, studying my employers as well asmy own
interest BY SO doing have had plenty OF work and
good wages, and may here venture to say that
many thousands OF those now clamorous, idle me-
chanics, could have had work all this winter were

It IL q sad thing to pass through life only half
alive Yet there are thousands whose habiinal
condition is one Of languOr and debility Thev
complain Of no specific disease; they suffer no Dos
tive pain; but they have no relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuOus pleasure to their
more robust and energetic fellow beings.
In nine cases ont Of ten this state Of lassitude
and torpor arises from q morbid stomach. Ind.
gestion destroys the energy Of both mind and body
When the waste Of nature Is not supplied by due
and regular assimilation Of the food, every organ
is starved, every function interrupted.
Now. what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances Of depressiong The system
needs rOusing and strengthening; not merely for
an hour or two, to rink afterwards into a more
ptiabe condition than ever Gas 1t assuredly would
do il an ordinary alcoholic stmulant were resorted
to-, but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplished!
The answer to this question, founded on the unva-
rying experience Of quarter Of a century, is easily
given. 1nfuse new yigOr into the digestive organs

Light as a Curative Agent.

The statement has been made that Sir
James Wylie, late physician to the
Emperor of Russia, having attentively
studied the effect of light as a curative
agent, in the hospital of ST. Petersburg,
discovered that the number. of patients
who were cured in rooms properly light
ed was four times those confined in dark
rooms. This led to a complete reform in
lighting the hospitals of Russia, and with
the most beneficial results. In all the
cities visited by the cholera, it is found
that the greatest number of deaths took
place in narrow streets, and on the sides
of those having a northern exposure,
where the salutary beams of the sun are
excluded. 1t is also said inhabitants of
southern slopes of mountains are better
developed and more healthy than those
who live on the northern sides, while
those who dwell in secluded villages are
generally subject to peculiar diseases and
deformities of person, these different re-
suits being attributed to the agency of
light.

CAN IT BE TRUE -Within the last few

CAN 1T BE TRUE ?-Within the last few
months a considerable number of persons
have called upon DR.. Walker, the proprie-
tor of the popular medicine known as
VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured him that,
in their belief, his preparation is an in
fallible antidote for rum and tobacco The
minute details which have been furnished
him forbid him to doubt the accuracy OF
the statements. This new claim of a
great remedy to the confidence of the pub.
lie will give vast and well-deserved i'm.
pulse to its popularity. Heretofore the
BITrERs have been recognized as pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid of
alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to the
cure of stomach and bowel complaints,
nervous disorders, bilious affections, mus.
cular diseases, and, indeed, majority OF
the ailments within the reach of medicine:
but if it will also cure the craving for
liquor and tobacco, philosophers, states
men and theologians ought to unite their
voices in its praise. Can the good news
be true? 1t is easy to test the question.

The East.
Jay Cooke & Co., the well.known bankers
and brokers, OF Philadelphia and New York,
have suspended payment. Stocks took a tum-
bic as soon as the intelligence reached Wall
street, caused more by apprehensioDs of
the future than by the existing
condition OF affairs. Prominent Wall street
men attribute the suspension OF the firm not
30 much to the effort to sustain their Phila-
delphia house as To their operations in North

sought to carry beyond their strength.

A New York dispatch of the 22d says that

clearer. The business Of the day had developed
remarkable strength In the banks, only two Of
them finding II necessary to call for loan
certificates at the Clearing House. The Stock
Exchange had not been opened, though settle
mcnts were making on generally satisfactory

happy state of things was rudely shaken by
the report of the suspension of the house OF

the feeling of security which had pre-
vailed, and fears were entertained that
the end had not yet been reached. At

In Difficulty.

The Massachusetts Liquor Law Is
like Mr.. Micawber-always In difficult
ty. Some Of these are trlfling, but 1t
has now encountered one which prom
ises to be serious. The case Is this 4:
Christopher h. Miller keeps a house Of
refreshment Ia Dorchester District,
Boston. Last week all the lager,
whisky. and the like upon his premises
were ruth.essly seized and carried
away, and lie was personally COM
plalned OF for selling the same. But
Christopher was up TO a trick or two ;
for he proved In court that he was
simply janitor and treasurer OF the
Mount BOwdoin Club ; that the liquor
seized belonged to the club and was
bought BY Miller at their order and
with their money that he had a sal
airy for his trouble and for the use Of
his house and billiard table, and that
he distributed the club liquor to the
members as they required 1t, accord
ing to their share, but never gave or
sold any to non-memberS. II never
took money from the members them
selves. There Is already n decision Of
the Supreme Court that a bona tide
club Is not amenable to the law aud
Judge Churchill held that the case Of
Miller came within the provisions OF
this decision. So the ~''janitor and
treasurer" was discharged. The seized
liquor must be restored and there
seems to be no reason why "clu6s"
should not be organized In every bar
room in the wealth. Here
and there, of course, their colorado
character might be proved by the gov
ernmens ; but in the majority of cases
the prosecution could not be sustained.
