A Mild Man and Terrible Inventor.

The Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes as follows "In appearance, Dr. Gatling would be taken for Prussian officer. He has unusual precision of gait and manner. joined to strong indications of keen perceptive powers. The eyes are particularly fine, and there is a pleas ing show of humor and kindness in the lines about his mouth. He is in the prime of life, and there is no sign of his inventive genius being on the wane. As much as twenty-five years ago he invented a method of applying com pressed air as motive-power to ma ohlnery. His applications for patent were defeated on the grounds that it was discovery, not an invention. Now the Gatling gun is recognized as the greatest invention of the.age and what IS of more account to the inventor, gen erally adopted, the Doctor can turn his attention to the motiye-power of con- pressed air.

New Jersey School Law.

The New Jersey new compulsory school law proSides that every parent, guardian, or other person, having con- trol or charge of any child between the age of eight and thirteen years, shall cause such child to attend some public or private school at least twelve weeks in each year, six weeks, at least, of which attendance shall be consecutive. This attendance is not required if the child's mental or physical condition is impaired. Instead of the attendance the child may be instructed at home in branches commonly taught at the pub lie school. If the person having charge of such 8 child neglect this duty he will forfeit twenty dollars to the school district. This penalty may be recov- cred in any court of competent iuris- diction in the district. If the parent or guardian can prove extreme poverty he is relieved from the penalty. In several districts the law cannot be carried out, it is said, owing to insuffi- c1ent school accommodation.

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

Cabinet or Parlor Organs are capital things for peddlers to work with, be- cause very poor ones can be made at half the cost of good ones, and few peo- pie are competent to tell the difference from first examination. Manufac- turers print in their catalogues prices which are three or four times as high as the value of such cheap work, Then the peddler starts out and puts them on the people in various ways. He sells at an enormous discount, if he can get cash; takes part trade, if necessary, or leaves the organ awhile on trial. and sells 1t at long time at "manufacturers' prices," exhibiting the catalogue to show that 1t IS such, or even at dis count from this, which he can we'll af- ford.
 The Mason < Hamlin Organ Go. have recently announced @ plan which IS likely to interfere with this business. This Company, as is well known, makes only the best work, which, by its uni form excellence, has obtained the high est reputation for their organs. They proved the best, and obtained the high est awards at the recent Vienna and Paris Worlds Expeditions, as they have uniformly done in American In dustrial competitions. The fact that these organs are the best in the world IS, indeed, too we'll established to need further endorsement.
 The Company have now added large new factory to their former extensive works, and design to greatly increase. their business. This they propose to do by offering organs for time pay ments, or for rent with privilege of pur- chase. at barely sufficient advance on the cash prices to afford . reasonable interest for the time. An organ may be hired by the quarter with privilege of purchase at any time in one year or longer. If purchased within the year, the whole cost, including rent paid, is only five to ten per cent. more than if the cash had been paid down at the be- ginning.
 Persons having any idea of purchas- ing, will be wise to send note to the Mason & Hamlin Co.,, at either Boston, New York or Chicago, and obtain their new circulars, before purchasing Com.

The Indians as Soldiers.

General Sherman is reported as say ing of Indians as soldiers "I have thought that the idea of employing the Indians as soldiers was g good one, and we have employed a number of scouts. As scouts they do admirably. There is no trouble in their management, and they so far forget their allegiance to their own people es to go freely out to fight them whenever they are called upon. Even Indian soldiers enlisted belonging to different nations that have always been at war, when they become scouts seem to forget their old hatreds, and to work admirably together. The only case of defection in our Indian scouts has been at Fort Fetterman, a short time ago, where few but recent ly enlisted deserted and joined their people. SEEEs -sj Y %

A WALKING MIRACLE.

IuR Ii. h. oTENENSs
 Dear Sir Though stranger want to inform you what VEGETINE has done for me: Last Christ mas, Scrofua made it's appearance in my system large running ulcers appearing on mo as follows !: One on each of my arms, one on my thigh, which extended to the seat one my head which eat into the skull bone, one my left leg, which became so bad that two physicians came to amputate the limb, though upon consultation concluded not to do so, my whole body was full of Scrofula they deemed it advisable to cut the sore, which painful be- yond description, and there was quart of matter run from this one sore. The physicians all gave me up to die, and said they could do no more for me. Both of my legs were drawn up to my seat, and it thought if did get up again would be crip- plo for life. When in this condition saw VEdETINE advertised, and commenced taking it in March, and followed with it, until had used Is bottles, and this morning am going to plough corn,a well man, All my townsmen say it is miracle to see me round walking and working. In conclusion I will add, when I enduring such great snffering from that dreadful disease, Scrofula, prayed to the Lord above to take out of this world, but as VEGETINE has restored to the blessing of health I desire more than ever to live that may be of service to my fellow man, and know of no better way to aid suffering humanity, than to close you this statement of my case, with earnest hope that you will publish it, and it will afford me pleasure to reply to any communication which may receive therefrom. am, sir very respectfully,

A Good Law.

There is law in New York, we be- lieve, that requires every roadmaster to see that the weeds along the road side in the district over which he has jurisdiction are cut twice year-that is twice during the season of growth. In some road districts and by some roadmasters this duty is performed faithfully but by the large majority no attention is paid to it. Every good farmer is interested in tine faithful en- forcement of this law, because the road sides are great weed breeders and dis sen1inators unless they are carefully kept clean in the manner described.

Quick Work.

A conductor on an Indiana railway while attempting to quiet drunken and noisy passenger the other day, was struck by the latter on the head with a miners pick-handle. He fell, bleeding profusely, and the other occupants of the car, thinking him murdered, seized his assailant, carried him to the rear platform, and threw him off while the train was going at the speed of thirty miles an hour. Strange to say, how ever, he was picked up by later train quite uninjured, excepting few bruises. and is now awaiting his trial on charge of assault and battery.

WHAT HE DID.-A touching and cu- rious incident is the purchase by MT. Anderson, of Toronto, of the yacht Foam, in which two of his sons were lately drowned near Niagara, and it's destruction by fire. The paternal heart could not bear that the craft which had borne his sons to death should longer exist. He purchased it and burned it to the waters edge. There is some- thing almost classic in this display of a fathers love.

It is well known that the whole medical faculty of all schools of medicine have pronounced Cancers in curabe. What sublime effrontery in any person to stand up boldly in the face of all this authority and claim to be able to cure Cancer. To put forth such
 claim in the teeth of the medical profession, in the city Of Philadelphia, with it's word-renowned scien- less it be substantiated in the most unquestonable manner, height of impudence rarely attained by mortal man. Dr. Thorpe boldly claims that he can cure has cured, does cure, and will Cancer as well as diseases of chronic and scrofuous nature: and further, that HE CURES EVERY oAsE TAKEN HIM, He does this by system which no other phy- slc1an in tho world practices. His method of treat ment invigorates the body, stirs up the dormant energies of nature, purfes and ceanses the system and imparts tone and health to all the organs of the the body. His method is the most potent ever dis covered and that it is what it is claimed to be will be established to the entire satisfaction of any who will investigate.
