New Treatment of Cancer.

A new and wonderful application of
alcohol has recently been made in the
treatment of tumors and cancer.
Schwalbe, of Weinheim, has reported
100 cases of various forms of indolent
glandular swellings treated successfully
by the subcutaneous injection of the
tincture of iodine. Latterly he has
used injections of simple alcohol in
fifty similar cases, and has found the
results equally favorable and the time
required for cure no greater, and he
therefore concludes that the alcohol is
the essential remedial agent. He ex-
plains its curative action as follows
It establishes state of chronic infiam-
nation in the connective tissue, caus-
ing it to contract by degrees, and thus
pressure is brought upon the vessels
and the lymphatics are obliterated.
These effects, and the consequent hard
ening of the connective tissue, he pro-
proposes to utilize in tho treatment of
other tumors, and reports the cure of
fatty tumors by the use OF such 1DJec-
tions, to which some ether was added
in order to dissolve the fat. He finds,
however, the most important applica-
ton of his plan in the treatment of
cancer by preventing its extension to
the neighboring tissues and Emphatic
glands. The tumor is first to be iso-
lated, as it we've, by causing the con-
nective tissue on all sides of it to be-
come shriveled Then the contractive
connective tissue, approaching the
growth itself, presses upon it, cuts OFF
its blood supply, and so causes 1t to
disappear by atrophy. Lymphaiio
glands which are already affected are to
be similarly treated. Schwalbe. with
DIR. Hasse, claims to have cured three
cases of cancer of the breast in this

hands in agony.
"No amertation !" cried the leader.
"Come, we wish you to be gay cheer

Alvira wept in despair. @
"Weep not! Why should you
Come, let me have kiss !" --
He rose up and reached out his hand.
Alvira shrunk back. He stepped for
ward. The others looked on in hideous
glee-they saw not the armed figure
with uplifted sword.
Come, one kiss"
"Villain T. erie d CASTOR, in a voice
of thunder. Alvira saw him-all saw
him, as with a bound he sprang forward
and buried his sword in the robber
chieftain's heart.
"Die !" cried the Infatuated knight,
and turning upon the nearest, with
blow he severed his bead from his body.
The others rose and grasped their dag
gers. CASTOR struck at the nearest and
his weapon was dashed from his hand,
while the owner was dashed to the
ground. Margo. the fourth, fell upon
his knees. With a strong hand CASTOR
bound him, and taking his rescued love
in his arms, he bore her forth along the
hall, to the great hall of the castle.
The noise had reused the marquis, and
the inmates of Boltono soon knew all
that had happened.
A week after, the nuptials of CASTOR
and Alvira were celebrated, and the
body of Margo hung in chains from the
summit of the "Goblin Tower"

THE THREE FISHERS.

Three fishers went sa ling out into the west,
Ont into the west as the sun went down;
Each thought on the woman who loved him best,
And the children stood watching them out of the
town;
For men must work aud women mustweep,
And there's little to earn and many to keep,
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three wives Fat up in the lighthouse tower,
And they trimmed the lamps as the sun went
down
They looked at the squall. and they looked at the
shower,
ight-rack came rolling up ragged and
brown!
But men must work and women must weep,
Though storms be sudden and waters deep,
And the harbor bar be moaning.
Three corpses lay out on the shining sands,
In the morning CLEAN as the sun went down,
And the women arc weeping and wringing their
hands
For those who will never come back to the town
For men must work and women must weep,
And the sooner it's over the sooner we sleep
And goodbye to the bar and its moaning.

EULoGY OF THE TOAD.
The editor of The American London
writes thus of creature not famed
for its beauty The toad-althoueh
universally despised and upbraided for
his ugliness-is vet a useful, good
natured, quiet fellow, who recognizes
his friends and those who ave kind to
him. We have some half dozen of
them in our small garden, and among
them one old patriarch who. when we
are digging or hoeing, will sit winking
and blinking at ms with his pretty eyes,
and often compel us to lift or drive him
aside to get him out of harms way.
He will stay by us for hours. evidently
feeling that he need fear no hurt. Like
the sparrow, the toad has been consid-
cred nuisance, and in some sections
exterminated but the exterminators |
have been only too glad, afterward, to
get him back by the expenditure of
large sums of money. So useful are |
toads in gardens that they are sold in |
France by the dozen, for the purpose
Of stocking gardens to free them from |
many injurious insects. The toad lives |
almost entirely on winged insects, and |
never does harm to the plant.

The Nevada legislature has adjourned
in row, after session chiefly dis
tinguished by the election of Sharon,
who has many more millions than
Jones. to the United States senate, ana
the passage of what is called the anti
gambling bill, this measure having
been the cause of more excitement than
any other business Stransacted. To
show what is considered on anti-gam-
bling bill in Nevada, we may explain
that the one in question, as really
passed, provided for a quarterly tax Of
800 on faro games, and $500 on keno
and all other banking games. In
counties with a population of 1,5O0,
or less, the quarterly tax was fixed at
$3.50, while gaming was restricted In all
parts of the state to back rooms, when
on the first floor. But, by some unex-
planned hocus pocus, the bill, as certi-
fed by the officers OF both houses and
signed by the governor, taxes all games
800 per quarter, with no reduction in
thinly populated counties. This is
denounced as unjust discrimination,
while the keno capitalist complain that,
deprivipg them of the incidental pro-
lection afforded in the original bill is
anything but correct.

A Plot for q Playwright.

We remember a tradition of the
Mac Cheek valley that would be well
to commence with. After the fight,
and destruction of the Indian towns in
that locality, one of the volunteers,
wandering in tho woods, saw the head of
an Indian peering a him from behind
1 rock, and without a whereas of any
length and resolution quite as brief,
brought bis gun to his shoulder and
fred q shot that tumbled over the in
quisitive aboriginal. To the hunters
horror he found the victim of the fe-
male sex, with papoose strapped to
her back. He removed the babe, and
he and his companion buried the
mother. He carried the infant over a
hundred miles to his log cabin. on the
banks of the Ohio, and adopted the
boy. He grew to manhood, a shy, wild
fellow, with no taste for civilized pur-
suits, and love for the woods.
The situation was not pleasant, for
the youthful Lo was expected to work
for his living, and the labor was OF the
hardest. To make matters worse, he
had the misfortune to fall in love with
his patrons daughter, beautiful girl
with no end of s11itors, and as an In
dian in those days was regarded as q
little better than a negro now, his love-
making did not prosper. His love was
soon plighted to another, and as the
wedding day drew near the young In
dian disappeared. The marriage came
off with its usual merry making, that
consisted of rifle shooting, races, and
wrestling during the day. and dancing
and drinking at night.
The married couple had retired to
the bridal chamber, that made one end
of the double log cabin, and the merry
making continued all night. The next
morning the two 80 lately united for
life were called to breakfast. They did
not respond, for the very good reason
that both were dead, being found muir
dered OF their bridal couch.
All knew who the aveDger was but
to leave no doubt upon that head a
wampum bet, worked by the poor girl
years before, was found upon the floor
at her feet. But he was never heard Of
after He seemed to vanish into night
and memory. The poor father, recog-
MIXING the hand of retribution, took to
drink, and was returned to congress.
He is remembered as a member of the
committee of ways and means, ard
accumulated quite a property out of
subsidies and Iodian contracts. He is
spoken of to this day by an aged, red
nosed. life insurance. agent as that
bloody old Brown who was a jackson
man with bad breath and worse
temper. - Washington Capital.

speIling-Matches.

The latest mania which has seized
upon Young America is that of spelling
matches. They have spread as rapidly
as the epizootic did. tits an old custom
which had fallen into disuse, but has
been revived with rpidity which is
truly astonishing. Commencing in New
England, only a few wee ks ago, they
have quickly spread to the west, the
lastplace 20 be STACKED being Nebraska.
The object Of these matches is q very
excellent one the proceeds and rewards
being given to the poor. They are in
nocent in character, not liable to lead
people into temptation, and are cheap
and tranquilizing. They do not excite
the passions, keep people out very late
at nights, or distract their attention
from business. In these respects they
are much to be preferred to church
lotteries, religious raffies, farley wax
works, and other similar modes of
spreading the gospel into heather lands.
Some of the facts connected with these
matches are very peculiar. Although
nearly all women are accustomed to
have had spells at times, they almost
invariably come off victorious in these
matches, and put down the tyrant ma
without any difficulty. Men Of literary
pretensions have been fioored with
faccid," flageolet," "ballast," "bal-
ance," privilege capillary" 500
lossal, -" correlate," "appall," and
even little monosyllabic words, hurled
at them by the gentler sex

Two children still and stark on n
snowy slope-the girl wrapped round in
the coat of the boy, and both young
faces fixei by frost in the calm repose
of death was the picture presented to
the eyes of wearied teachers near
Mount Ayr, Iowa, the other day. This
winters cold has taken many life but
none of the unfortunates were found
in so touching an attitude as this. 1t
was not in the heat of the conflict that
the boy died; there was no rafting
drum to stir his thickening blood, nor
comrades eyes to mark his heroic fall !;
nothing to rouse his young enthusiasm.
But the little coat folded carefully about
the girlish form, and his own naked
breast, told of the quiet courage and
self sacrifice with which he had met the
pitiless blast that blew as cold on him
as her.

The great canvas show of the time, Bar
NUNS Hippodrome and circus arrived in
town yesterday. In the evening at least
10000 people crammed lie great pavilion
on the lake shore, and the show proved
the eitiinent ATTRACTIVE amusement feature
Ct tic evening. The great tent is very
comfortably fitted with reserved chairs,
atd is well lighted The races are clearly
seen by the assembled thousands. The
performance commenced with the entry of
the Congress Of Nations. This included
tableaux of Queen Victoria; William Of
Germany; Napoleon III. of France; Pope
Plus Ninth; the Sultan of Turkey with
lights of the Harem and attendant Gu
nuChs; the leaders and statesmen of Ire
land; the Emperor of China; Tippo Sahib
Of India; Gems. Geo. Washington, Israel
Putnam, sof Massachusetts, PHILIP Schuy-
Ter of New York, Henry Lee, of Virginia;
Ethan Allen, etc. Following the Con-
grcss of Nations comes the performance
of Satsuma and the original Little All
Right"in their marvellous balancing feat.
A flat" race for ladies in the saddle and
habit succeeds; one in which no less than
four young ladies take an active part.
Sketches from Indian life, the advantage
of studying up human character in many
foreign phases, contribute to the interest
of the show. The race between English
and American jockeys is unusually inter-
esting. An elephant and camel race; A
chariot race for four horses side; and Il
ladies' hurdle race, were received with
considerable applause. The fact is that
the present Barnum show is almost eli
tircly made up of competitive races, Which
are to all alTe&ratce honestly won.

ply of good horSctlcsh, Il at>uibcr of das-
