through one nostrl. had droppIngs in the throat,
very bad cough, asthma SO bad as to be Obliged

head. My head was at times so full of catai rha
matter as to injure my sense of hearing and compel
me to get up several times in night to clear it and
my throat before could sleep. Every one OF these
distres sing symptoms has disappeared under the
of not quite three bottles of Sanford's Radical
Cure. My hearing is fully restored. l have no
asthmatic symptoms no cough, no droppngs in the
throat, no headache, and in every way better than
have been Tor years. could feel the effects OF
the Cure on my appetite, on my Kidneys and in fact
every part of my system. What has been done in
my case is wholly the effect of the Radical Cure.

Hsw . Hale rlIrt was Punished.

People who frequent that portion of
Broadway between Tenth Street and
Madison Squire are occasionally aston
promenading the street, with apparent
ly no other object in view than to stare
ut and ogle the ladies who pass by. II
they confined their ogling to those who
are on the same level there would be NO
complaint, but as the present fashion
permits respectable women to dress
rather cloud" some unpleasant expe-
riences are the result. One Of these
masculine dirts recently annoyed the
young ladies Of . well known millinery
by frequently passing by on the oppo-
site side of the street and throwing
kisses to the employees. This was kept
up with steady regularity for nearly a
fortnight, until it culminated in the re-
ceipt of . note written by the fellow
asking one of the girls to meet him. and
name the time and place. council Of
war was held, and it was decided the
invitation should be accepted, and q
lonely spot in Central Park for the rem
devious. The hero of thousand kisses
was promptly ON hand, and SO were the
girls-fve of them, accompanied by q
male escort. The five all carried short
cudgels, and no sooner were they sure
of bis being the right man, than they
proceeded to fiagellate him severely.
He ran as for dear life, and q Central
Park policeman coming up almost
laughed himself blind when he heard
the facts. The fellow has not been seen

Scientific Surgery.

For the first time since 1848, q gal
yano-cautery battery was used in New
Brunswick yesterday in the partial re-
moval of the csncerous growth with
which the mouth of John Stults had
been filed. One-third of the malig-
nant mass, that can not weigh less than
q pound, and is as large as good
sized fist, was taken away in segments
by means of q wire, in the form Of g
loop, worked with q thumbscrew, and
heated by battery to white heat, so
that the blood vessels were cauterized
as soon as they were cut, and hardly an
ounce of blood was lost. The patient
endured the operation without the aid
of an@sthetics. The operator was DR..
Rice of New Brunswick, who was as
sisted by DIR. Rudd, house surgeon at
Roosevelt Hospital in this city. The
patient is able to close his mouth for the
first time in many weeks, the cancer
having extended from the root of the
palate to the teeth, and protruding be-
yond them, and so preventing respira-
ton that his gasps for breath were
heard across the street. Attempts are
to be made to further reduce the forma-
tion.-NeU York Sun.

her individual experience. Small ears
are invariably under great disadvan-
tage. Large ears are usually indica-
tive of . more comprehensive taste. A
narrow harp or harp-like opening al
ways denotes good ear for music. II
the harp is very regular you may safely
prognosticate q correct information. For
q singer the rim must be very even and
the circle unbroken. Any protuberance
on the rim of the ear viii occasion q
slight Discrepancy of intonation-the
singer will not be all times alike. Some
have double harp; this is dangerous
to the success of the singer. A perfect
double rim is, ON the other hand, highly
advantageous. This is, however, open
to the weakness of easily being satisfied
with sweet sounds of any kind. The
ear without rim is the most dainty
and difficult to please. It appears to
receive almost as it were by selection
only the best sounds; ordinary sounds
have no attraction for it. These are q
few of the leading features of the ear.

John Calvin's Bust Smashed.

Mr.. Clemens, ss the story runs, va.
recently visited by a clergyman Of the
Old School wing of the Presbyterian
body. Now it happens that the antique
mantel over the library fireplace in the
castel aforesaid holds, or did hold, q
plaster bust Of Calvin, upon whose
classical features some sacrilegious hand
(whether Twain's or not We are unable
to say) had penciled . twirled mustache
and goatee. After gazing around the
oddly arranged room the eyes of the
reverend gentleman rested upon the
Calvinistic plaster. At first he could
hardly realize the fact, but finally, COM
pretending the affair in its fullness, his
Indignation became unbounded. With
one blow of his cane he shattered mus
tache, goatee and bust, scattering its
dust over the apartment in the greatest
profusion. Mr. Clemens, who came in
shortly after, upon viewing the re-
mains, slowly remarked that it was .
pretty rough handling of Calvin. but
was, possibly, all Things considered,
the appropriate thing to do.-Ailianes.

cal Significance?

A recent cursory description of the
well known Mozarteum, from the pen
of an intelligent correspondent of q
daily paper, mentions the fact that
amongst the interesting relics of the d.
vine composer exhibited to the public
gaze at Salzburg is drawing of his ear,
showing an abnormally large bell, as
though nature intended him to be gift
ed listener. It is noteworthy that in all
portraits except those painted BY the
sun itself, next to the boots the ear seems
to present to the painter the greatest
difficulty. It is rarely one sees shoe
beautifully drawn; perhaps it is still
rarer that the ordinary covering for the
feet presents any thing that can be made
beautiful, even by . skillful draughts-
man. With the ear the observer can
not help remarking the same absence
Of individuality. Any thing will for
an ear, and daub or two that would
with equal propriety represent dried
fig or an oyster would do duty for the
above organ. In calling attention to
this matter I venture to submit the re-
suit of my own observations in the hope
that something more may be elected
on this, as I believe, most interesting
question. And I shall be extremely
glad if any person who is of opinion
that my conclusions are pre-
mature or cratic will kindly

Millions In the Pools.

It is reported that John Morrissey has
deposited S3. 900, 600 Of pool money in
one of the city trust companies. There
is probably as much more put into the
hands of the other pool managers. 1t
would not be exsravagant to say that
there are $5,0OO,OUO to-day pending
upon the results of the elections in the
various States, and this sum is Increased
hourly by the conflicting stories which
come from the doubtful States. Ifthere
should be no election or a dispute as to
who is President the people who have
invested in pools would be deprived of
their money for some time to come.
Some fins day large sums of money will
suddenly disappear from some Of the
pool-roOms and then people will won
der how keen sporting men were will
ing to trust their property in the hands
of gamblers, while they would not be
satisfied to place it in q banking insti-
tuition unless it was known to be thor
oughly solvent. We hear that some of
this money is very loosely kept. One
night over 800, 600 were deposited in
the safe of one of the uptown hotels
without receipt or other guarantee than
the honesty of q hotel clerk. These
sporting people are not business men
and have not business habits. 1t will
be as much the fault Of the betting pub
lie as OF the proprietors of the pool
rooms il ut some time heavy losses are
incurred. All this public gambling
ought to be prevented by law. There
is excitement enough about our cleo
tons without having betting so organ
lied that it is q temptation to every body
to ''put up" something on the result.
As now conducted pool gambling is
even more demoralizing than lotteries.
