NOTE TO 1.-THE wNrHRop-DRuRY AFFAIR.
[Fron the Philadelphia Presbyterian.


 From the Worlds Dispensary Printing office and bindery. Buffalo. N. Y.. we have received ''The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser, in Plain English or, Medicine Simplifed.. by R. V. Pierce, M. D., Counsellor-in-Ch Chief of the Board of physicians and surgeons at the World s Dispensary. Whoever helps humanity in its inherent weaknesses and diseases, to bear or cure, is it's benefactor. Ignorance is not only of itself Q cause of disease and mortality, but it is the enemy of every effort to cure or mitigateit. Nothing will so speedily remove this cause as knowledge Gan elementary one at least) of the diseas- es to which we are heir, as well as those superinduced by our own imprudence. Dr. Pierce has rendered, Tn our judgment, benefactor's service, both to the afflicted and to the profession, in his diagnosis of the diseases treated of, and in the presen- tatiOn of the philosophic principles in- volved in their cause and removal. He is sparing of remedies, and usually prescribes such as are safe in unskilled hands. As a book of abstract Knowledge. it is an exceed. ingly interesting and readable book, espe cially the following subjects -Cerebral Physiology, Human Temperaments, Pseu. Stssp. Food. Ventilation, etc. In one chapter, Oh another subject, so delicate Tn it's nature that it is shut up beyond the domain of warning to all but physfcians, so accursed in its results in modern socie. tY, he is most explicit. and alike to God, to virtue, to life and to society, shows the truth as presented in the teachings of Scripture-that life begins with concep- tion-with great force. to which is. added faithful warnings. Price of the Medical Adviser Sl.5O, sent postpaid. Address the author at Buffalo N, Y

The Cost of the Yrial.

1t is no easy matter to calculate the
cost Of the trial of the cause of Tilton
against Beecher. 1t is not generally
known to any newspaper man what fees
counsel receive. The trial has cost the
county of Kings at least $4,000. The
jurors have received $4,000. The total
jury expense, including panels of 1900
men, amounts to $5,194. The County
Treasurer has paid out $26,154 as the
county's share of the expenses Of the
-Beecher trial. This does not in
clude the pay of the detailed policemen,
which will foot up large sum, neither
does it embrace the bill of Mr.. Parker
for feeding the jury.
Mr.. Beecher's trial expenses can hardly
be less than $4,000. Mr.. TiltOn is out
of pocket some $4,000, which amount he
will easily earn as soon as the lecture
season begins All told, $4,000 is a
moderate estimate Of the cost of the suit.

An Anecdote of Daniel s. Dichen.
SON

Burleigh, writing to the Boston Jour-
nal, relates the following;
"A party OF gentlemen were together
last week, and were telling old-time sto-
ries. One referred to Senator Dicken-
son. He was not Overlearned, but was
very shrewed. He knew absolutely moth
ing of the classics, and was greatly an
moved when one quoted Latin. Van Bu-
rem had swung off into Free Soil, and the
burden of the party was on DickensOn's
shoulders. A friend of Van Buren, was
eulogizing the ex-President in a speech.
He spoke of Curtius, and compared Van
Buren, to that noble Roman. Dickinson
went over to seat occupied by Sena-
tor who was at home in all that relates
to the Romans. who is this Curtis the
Senator is talking about?' oh! he is not
talking about Curtis at all He is talk
ing of a noble Roman patriot. His name
was Curtius, not Curtis well, what
did he do? Why, in the time OF great
public calamity he threw himself lii the
breach and saved his couptry.' oh!
that's it, is it, What did you say his
name WASP 'Curtius.' Wont you spell
it?' 'C-u-r-t-i-u-s.' All right, Thank
you, said Dickinson as he went to his
seat. AS soon as the defender OF Van
Buren, took his seat Dickinson arose,
fresh, confident, exuberant. He closed
like man fresh from the classics: And
who is this Curtius, to whom the hon
orable Senator compares Martin van
Buren,? He was noble Roman. lie
was a patriot. But how unlike MI. van
Buren,. Curtius threw himself into the
breach to save his country. But Mar
tin Van Buren, threw his county lnto
the breach to save himself"

Land AHOUf.

In the draining of the Harlem lake,
in Holland, curious phenomenon oc-
CURED in connection with the outer dixie
of the canal on the east side of the lake.
The dixie crossed an extent of floating
soil which bordered wide ponds near the
village of Aalsmeer. An area of MANY
acres, detached by the canal from the old
works Of defence against the lake, found
itself one fine day driven by the tempest
from the bank Of the canal to the other
side of the pond. The proprietor .im-
plored the aid of the commission. His
land had floated to the opposite shore,
widely separated from his other fields,
and resting on water that was not his
own. By the combined effort of the
proprietor and of the commission these
fugitive fields were towed back to the
borders of the canal, and pinned in place
by piles and poles which prevented them
from undertaking another voyage.
