"Highjinnicks" in New York.

To GIVE an idea of this ignorance, let
me recall as nearly as can, a little cpl
sode in the investigation: 1t happened
that the late Judge Whiting, who had
charge of the investigation on the part OF
the Citizens Association, put on the stand
young physician, who testified that the
health officers, or wardens, or inspectors,
were men utterly ignorant of the first
principles relating to the public health
which they were appointed to preserve.
In order to refute this, the head of the
Health Department at the time brought on
the stand, in perfect good faith, several of
these health officers. Toward the close
of the examination of the first (one) of
these gentlemen, Judge Whiting asked
the question; "Did you have a case of
smallpox in your ward?" and he an
swered, eyes, sir"
Judge Whiting-"Did you visit the
patient?"
Witness-"No, sir"
Judge Whiting-"Why not?"
Witness-"For the same reason that
you would not; that l was afraid of tax.
ing 1t myself"
Judge Whiting-"Did the family have
any care?"
Witness-"Yes, sir; they were 'highjin.
nicks' (hygenics)i they doctored them
selves"
As the other witnesses came in Judge
Whiting used this as sort of test ques.
tomas a sort of key to unlock the sys,
tenn and show the utter ignorance that
prevailed in every department of it,
Every witness was asked: "Well, have
you any 'highjinnicks' in your wardl'
Some of the witnesses thought they had,
some thought they had not; some thought
'they had them pretty badly; some
thought they had them in some parts OF
the ward. AT last the Judge asked a wit.
ness who had been answering his ques
tion in this way: "Do you know what
the word 'highjinnicks' means?" and he
answered: Eyes, sir, I do it means a
bad smell arising from dirty water" o
course the exhibition was vastly amusing,
but after all the guifaw was over, sad
after thought necessarily came to every
thinking man as to the condition of the
great metropolis which allowed all its
dearest material interests to be placed in
such hands as this. 1t may be said thai
this was the result of political system
but il was not. Had there been tithe OF
the instruction which should have pre-
vailed--of that simple knowledge which
should have existed on this subject--such
a thing would have been impossible, nc
matter what the political exigencies Oh
arrangements were.-PopuIdr Science

to mix the rice -four intimately with cold

AS SOON as any soreness is felt in the
ear, let three or four drops of the tincture
of arnica be poured in, and the orifice be
filled with little cotton to exclude the
air, and in a short time the uneasiness is
forgotten. If the arnica is not resorted to
until there is actual pain, then the cure
may not be as speedy, but just as certain,
although it may be necessary to repeat the
operation. 1t is a sure preventive against
gathering in the ear, which is the usual
cause of earache.-ETchange

withdrawal of his nomination for
the Department Of Justice:
{ WAsHIkeroN, January
To the President: 80. ~
SIR: You were kind enough, with
out any solicitation or any knowledge
on my part that You contemplated
such a thing, to nominate, me for
Chief Justice Of the Supreme Court of

the food gates of calumny in all di-
rections have been opened upon me.
My abilities have been disparaged and
my integrity brought in question, and
it seems to me that a. public opinion
adverse to my appointment. has been
created which might hereafter embar-
rass your administration, and impair
my usefulness upon the bench. With
the perfect consciousness that l have
performed with clean hands and an
upright purpose. all the duties Of the
various public Offices to which / have
been called, and trusting to time and

FENTAUR IMMINENT.

There is no pain which the Centaur Lin.
ment will not relieve, no swelling it will
not subdue, and no lameness which it will
not cura. fi,is Is strong language, but 1t is
true. Where the parts are not gone, its ef-
fects are marvellous. 1t has produced more
cuIes OF rheumatism, neuralgia, lock jaw,
palsy, sprains, swellings, cake-breasts,
scalds burns, salt rheum, ear ache, ETC., up
on the human frame, and of strains, SPAWN,
gals, ETC., upon animals in one year than
have all other pretended remedies since the
world began. It is. counter irritant, an
all-healing pain-reliever. Cripples throw
away their clutches, the lame walk, poison
GUS bites are rendered harmless, and the
wounded. ago. healed without scar. 1t is
no humbug. The recipe is published around
each bottle. 1t is selling as no article ever
before sold, and 1t sells because 1T does just
what 1t pretends to do. Those who now suf-
fer from rheumatism, pain or swelling de-
serve 10 suffer il they will not use Centaur
Liniment. More than 1000 certificates Of
remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
chronic rheumatism, gout, running tumors,
ETC., have been received. We will send a
circular containing certificates, the recipe,
ctc., gratis to any one requesting it. One
bottle OF the yellow wrapper Centaur Lin
iment is worth one hundred dollars for spav-
ined or swecnied horses and mules, or for
xcrew-worm IN sheep. Stock owners, this
liniment is worth your attention. No fam
lily should be without Centaur Liniment.

The contents of the January num-
Der are exceedingly valuable, as we'll
as timely.
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, con-
tributes a remarkable article upon
Horace Greeley in 1872, which is, in
fact, a scathing review of Jas. L.

cheap transportation question is we'll
considered, being the third Of a series
of articles on that question Another
very readable article is reply to the
report of Prof Eliot upon the propos-
ed National University. The leading
paper of this months Republic is one
devoted to the Civil Service Reform
Question, in which is embraced more
real sense and a deeper insight into
the question than has yet been brought
to our attention.

EDITOR PAIL LADIUM:-A "Happy
New Year. to you! How often is
that salutation sounded in our ears
and as soon forgotten by the speaker
and hearer; but if it comes yelling up
from kind and loving heart-one
which really wishes what the term i'm
plies-it is stored away in order that
it may be fondly called up on some
future occasions, bringing with it fond
recollections of absent ones that are
dear to us; and the wishers, if in earn
est, will use every means in their pow
er to make the year happy one. This
day marks one more milestone on
times record, and we almost involun-
tarily take retrospective view of the
past, and make new resolves for the
future. How often do we declare that
after New Years we will break off
from this and that vice, but alasl how
very often do we fail to carry out our
resolves, and then wait for another
turn in the wheel of time to make new
promises of reformation, to be in turn
forgotten as we're the former ones.
May we all strive to make 1874 one of
the happiest years that the world has
ever witnessed. Itcan be done if each
one will try to make his neighbor
happy.
The Palladium, I observe, has a
new head and dress, which is sure
indication of pr )sperity, or of appreci-
ating friends; in either case, it is
cheering to see the face of an old
friend, looking bright and clear, as if
it were bidding defiance to times re-
morseless hand, which marks decay on
all it touches. Hope its genial face
may long continue to illuminate the
minds of its readers. -
