TOM MOORE"S COURTSHIP AND MAR
RAGE.
lAppleton's Journal. ]

As the name Of Moore and his Bcssy
are on the tapis, 1 must take the oppor.
tunity of mentioning the following cir.
cumstanccs. When living in Dublin,
where Moore was the observed Of all OBJ.
servers, he was engaged in some private
theatricals, when he made acquaintance
with Miss Bcssy Dyke, who had recently
made her debut as ballet dancer in the
Dublin boards. Moore vas sm;tten with
her at first sight, and having access to
the green room, used to seek her out and
converse with her, whenever he could,
behind the scenes. One night, as >the
celebrated Sir Philip Champion, one OF
the very ablcst medical men that ever
lived. was just dropping off to sleep after
day Of great fatigue, he heard a violent
and agitated knocking at his bedroom
door. 'Come in," he said, and voice
which he at once recognized as that OF
his friend spoke through the half:opened
door. ''Phil, Phil, for Gods sake get up
and como with me without moment :
delay
Sir Phillip jumped up, hurried on his
clothes. ond went out with him. 1t was
about two clock on bright summer +
morning, and the streets were entirely
deserted. As they walked rapidly IT,
gether, Champion in vain appealed to
Moore to tel, him what Was the mrtter.
The only reply he received was, You II
see soon cnoug h. Come along quick for
God 5 sake! There's not moment to
be lost!'' They hurried down Dawson
street, reached Suffolk street, and about
half way up that street, lying PROSTATE
on the flags, Sir Phillip beheld to his
amazement what appeared to be the body
of young woman. Soft proved to be-
not a dead body bu' an inscnsible one,
and bleeding copiously from the head,
which was severely injured. On going up
to it they found an old woman standing
by it aud watching over it. Sir Phillip
Champion, with MOORE assistance, lifted
the body from the ground and carried it
up stairs to her rooms; which were on
the first floor. After considerable time
she was brought back to consciousness
by the skill Of the great practitioner. The
ugly wound which she had received did
not prove so serious IS had been feared

They call him agan, again and again,

Then cover him gently and leave him there
In Lii peaceful rest forever.
In after-yeafs, when their hair is gray,
The children will still remember
How they buried their friend that sad, sad day
In tie beautiful month SEPTEMBER;
And lnarveling much why that childish love
So long In their hearts has striven,
Will hope they may meet-why should it no,

Good old dog Rover in heaven.

FRESH AIR IN TYPHOID FEVER.

DR.. Hampton, Of Paris, has lately is.
sued a pamphlet containing history OF
several remarkable curtis Of typhoid fever.
The Doctor regards the disease as a sort
Of paralysis or asphyxia Of all the vital
functions, occasioned by breathing a
poisonous atmosphere, emanating either
from typhoid patient or from some
other NOR bid source. BY his experiments
he has practically demonstrated that
great advantage is to be derived from the
use of open air in treating the fever.
Moreover, he deiarcs that there is abso.
lutte immunity from contagion in the open
air. The cures which he reports are IS.
cribcd mainly to the free admission Of
outdoor air to tho patients bedroom.
He argues that the patient cannot suffer
from the application Of this remedy,
either in danger from other diseases, or
from the temperature Of the atmosphere.
If the patient is kept warm in bed BY ar
titicial means, the free breathing Of pure,
fresh air will at all times keep up the
natural animal heat. In typh1s fever,
complications of all kinds. Of the lungs or
other organ, simply render the access Of
fresh air more urgent and essential. 1t
also enables the patient to take slim.
ulants more easily when necessary.

HALF An EGG.

II statistics could he the saving Of Us.
We ought all to be in the very best plight

graphs arc beginning to appear in all di.

whisky and gin we have consumed per

reminds us Of the story of commission
| appointed in France to calculate the mum.
Der of eggs laid in the year OF 1872
When the reports had all arrived and the
calculations had all been made, it was
found that the total was forty-one thou
sand and fifty millions two hundred and
twenty-five thousand one hundred and
three and half! Why this halt? The
calculations were all gone over again. but
this half could not b. got rid of. There
| was great sensation at the Ministry OF
Commerce in all the corridors nothing
was to be seen but secretaries, under.sec-
rctaries, clerks and messengers coming
and going. and all busted about this hall
egg. At last one Of the clerks found a
report from mayor in the Franche.
Comte, stating that in his district the
nun Der Of eggs laid had b en- seventy
two thousand and half. A special mes.
senger was at once sent 10 the mayor TO
find out what he could possibly mean by
this half egg. Sir" answered the hon"
est man, Il took notice Of the fact that
one Of the hens 10 my district laid an egg
on the boundary Of my department. As
a law-abiding man, I could not make re-
turn Of more than half Of this egg. Had
my colleague on the other side been as
correct as was, the two halves would
have been completed, and you would
have had your number Of eggs entire. .
The worthy mayor was thoroughly in
the right. but the story seems to show
that the lave Of accurate statistics may be
carried too far--Pictoyiol World.
