QUACKs COME TO GRIEF.-"Doctors"
A. H. and Preston Sweet, of New Haven
Conn, who figured in this city and vicin-
ity quite largely, last summer, came 10
grief at Brattleboro, the other day, under
the new state law, which prohibits the
practice of medicine, surgery, or mid
wifery by any person in this state without
a license from the board of censors of a
regularly chartered medical society, unless
he shall already have been in the practice
OF the profession for the term of five Years.
BY the action of the Connecticut River
Medical Association, A. H. Sweet, the ell
der Of the two "doctors, "who was ut that
time receiving patients in Bellows Falls,
came before Or. H. d. 1olton, one of the
censors OF the association, for examination,
under the statute. This examination
showed him TO be not only ignorant of an
atomy. the diagnosis of dis Eases, etc, but
also OF the proper doses of even the sim
plest, rs well us the more powerful and
deadly drugs, like morphine, aconite, bel
aGonna, and the like. A license was
refused him, and he was then arrested us.
The statute provides, but it appearing that
he was poverty stricken, and seeming to
be harmless and inoffensivc old man, lie
was let oft on condition that he left the
state. The next day the son, Preston
Sweet, who was then 'practiSing' in Brat
lleboro, was also called before DR. Holton
for examination. One hundred and nine
teen questions were asked him in anato-
my, diagnosis, and general practice, the
questions being strictly confined, at his
request, to those relating to the class of
chronic diseases which he especially adj
vertised to treat. After the examination
II careful comparison of the questions and
answers showed that only about one ques.
ton in eight had been answered with ap
proximate correctness, and license was,
therefore refused him. He was also inform.
ed that he must either submit to prosecution
or leave the state, and chose the latter al
Tentative and left town. The creduous
people to be found in every locality who
are so prone to pin their faith to every
travelling quack will do well TO heed the
moral of the above.

TIE LEGISLATURE

looks as though it was republican, and
that republican will succeed Mr.. Conk-
ling in the Senate. This was the real
prize of the fight, and if we have saved
that we have done well enough. 70
smash the Tammany slate in the city, and
to save the Legislature, is good enough in
New York.

The earthquake seems to have extended
from the western part of New England
reaching Us far south as Harlford-to west
ern New York, and from Pennsylvania to
Canada. At the Dudley observatory in
Albany, two distinct shocks were noticed.
several seconds apart In Saratoga it was
observed thht the wind, which had been
blowing almost II gale, subsidized into q
Stiffness which was painful during the
shocks, but returned afterward. At Troy
the people felt that the atmosphere, after
the shocks passed, was close, with slight
sulphurous odor. In many places cracks
large enough to insert the hand were made
in the walls Of the houses. In Montreal
the dogs and cats seemed greatly disturb
ed and made desperate efforts to get out of
doors. A policeman in the same city,
walking along the streets, mstook the
earthquake for hor5e-car coming toward
him, and wondered why he did not hear
the bells. just then the ground
under his feet enlightened him, for he
says the pavement was fairly rolling
toward me, like us though you would
shake a carpet" A cvil-servce officer in
Montreal says that the motion was from
eastward to westward, us a bell in his
room, used in connection with the storm
signal service, was rung, which could not
have been done from north 10 south.

WHY PoPES CHANGE THEIR NAMES
1t is fact generally known that monk.

popes on ascending the ponlifca throne
usually change their names. The reason
of this change in the case of the popes is

MarceliuS Servius was elected and insisted
upon retaining his own name. As Mar.

SITTING BULL.-A reservation has been
provided for him on the banks of the Red
Deer river and he will remove there with
his band at once. This section is an ex.
tensive plain in the center of the province
of Saskatchewan, Astounding in game, and
in it he can roam at will, but he will be
securely guarded on all sides by five Brit
ish forts and also by the powerful tribe Of
Blacklcet, who have consented to tolerate
the Sioux in their neighborhood on condi-
ton that they will behave themselves.
When Sitting Bull was informed by the
officers ut Fort Walsh of the disposition to
be made of him, he professed great graft
tudc of their just treatment of him, but
took occasion to express his undying hat
red of the Americans, who. he said, had
broken treaties and forced him into war,
and then tried to punish him for fighting.
i" Therefore," he said, while 90 to Red
Deer now to live in peace, will come
back when my braves are strong; OF, if
they will not come with me, will come
alone and fight the Americans until death. "
This isn't exactly reassuring, so far us the
chief himself is concerned, but, as he will
hereafter be vigilantly guarded by the
Canadian police and the Jealous Backfeet,
he can he safely counted out, for some
time to come, as in element of mischief.

The era of swindles is no less mar ked
in England than here. The London po-
lice inspectors are now on trial for con-
spiracy to defeat justice in collision with
u gang Of noted swinders. The most
distinguished villain began his career at
fourteen, backing race horses in the
London stables, and had put up countless
swindes in both hemisphores. This gang,
by a shrewd prospectus translated isto
French, drew about ten thousand pounds
from pools in France alone. and be boasts
that he has bribed the police of London,
the police in America. the wardens at
Newgate and ut the house of detention,
the English post-ohicc inspectors, and the
present inspector Of the London police,
the last-named functionary at the rate of
fifteen pounds d week. The fellow now
testiiies in the garb of y convict.

The Working Women's Hotel at New
York, A. +. Stewards great legacy, which
has been growing under numerous delays
and uncertainties for several years, ut last
nears completion, and will be opened on
or about New Years. In size and luXuri-
GUS furnishing it exceeds any hotel in the
city, while in construction, arrangement
and thoroughness Of appointment it is
probably unequaled in the world 1t stands
on the corner of 4th avenue and 23d and
33d streets, is 200 feet square and seven
stories high, constructed of stone, brick
and iron, and is tn roughly fire proof
with the best possible facilities for egress.
The building surrounds square, filled
with elegant plants, and u large tract of
land is to be laid out in the rear rs II park
for the exclusive use Of the guests. Thel e
are 3S7 single and 10 double rooms, capa-
Bile of accommodating 1000 persons. ~
magnificent parlor, 100 feet by So besides
several reception rooms, will furnish social
accommodations unrivaled by any holel in
the country. A library and reading-room
of the same size us the parIor have been
fitted up, and 2500 carefully selected vol
umes are already on the shelves; while
rare paintings and sculptures alorn all
parts Of the building. But the characteristic
feature of this magnificent institution is
the culinary department, which is 10 be
under the management Of the best cooks
obtanable. In order to extend its benefits
over the widest possible range meals fur,
nished 10 those not rooming in the hotel
are to be taken home, and thus it is ex-
pected that 5000 persons can be supplied
daily with food cooked and served after
the most scientific french models. The
cost of the benelicaries of this sumptuous
living is not to exceed IS week for room
and board, and all women of the working
class of good character may be admitted.
The house will be well oflicered and
waite. ed, and the same social regulations
will be enforced us ut all first class hotels.
Of course, ii is not expected that hotel
costing S2,O00,O00 and conducted on such
II scale of splendor can be self-supporting
at the rates per week which other hotels
exact per day, but the charges are not to
be raised under any circumstances, and all
Deficiencies are to be met from the estate.
This colossal work can hardly be called Il
charity, us payment is in all cases rgidly
required; but is the outgrowth of Mr.
Stewards lifelong desire to Go something
to repair the seeming wrong by which SO
large class are deprived from lack Of
means, of the refinements of life, which
their tastes would enable them to appre.
ciate and enjoy.

More full returns of last weeks elections
do not make much change in the figures,
which we gave last week. In Massachus
sets Gov. Ricc's plurality over Castor
was nearly $4,000, which was doing very
well. considering that Mr.. CASTOR really
expected TO be elected. The republicans
carry the Connecticut legislature, indicat-
ing that the iron and mule man, Mr.. w.
II. Bamum, will have difficulty in keeping
his seat in the United States Senate after
1879
Beach's majority in New York for Sec
rotary of State was about 10000, bnt he
was unpopular and the average democrat
ic majority was about the same rs last
year The Senate is republican and will
hold over so rs to vote when the election
of United States Senator comes up. The
House is close but probably republican.
The principal political importance of that
fact is that this legislature will mark out
the assembly districts, and of course on
their arrangement depends somewhat the
probabilities of controlling the house to be
elected next fall.
Gen. Mcclellan majority in New Jer.
sey is over $4,000 and the democrats carry
Pennsylvania by about 10000 and Mary
land by 100000 Virginia was carried by
them without q contest.
In Minnesota the republicans Endorsed
the president nearly as fully rs Massa.
chusetts and Gov. PilIsbury has about 49,.
900 majority. The Wisconsin election wa,
fought by the republicans ON an outspoker
platform too, and they carry the state by
II larger vote over the democrats than they
did last year. The Grcenback ticket poll
ed about $4,000 votes in the state
The heavy vote cast for Grscnback OF
workingmen's tickets in various places is
noticeable, and promises II good deal OF
trouble for party managers on both sides
in the future. In Luzerne county, Penn
sylvania, the Greenback or workingmen s
ticket received over $4,000 votes, more
than both the old parties polled. In Roch.
ester and Elmira, New York, there was a
very heavy Greenback vote, somewhat
Larger than that polled by either the rc-
publican Or democratic tickets. These
things, with the heavy Grecnback vote in
Wisconsin, make the November elections
quite as interesting as those of October u,
indicative of I'm unusual loosening OF old
party ties, and show party managers that
they cannot depend on such and such
majorites from such and such places sim
ply because they have had them there be-
fore.

The art of putting asphaltum on stone

swer for the usual lath and plaster, ha,
been successfully introduced in New

prevents the dampness that is usual or

MUSTARD PLAsTERs.-How many
people are there who really know
how to make a mustard plaster9
Not one in q hundred at the most,
perhaps. and yet mustard plasters
are used in every family, and ply
sicians prescribe the application.
The ordinary way Is to mix the
mustard with water, tempering it
with a little flour; but such a plas-
ter as this makes it simply abom-
Unable. Betoreiit has half done its
work it begins to blister the pa
tient, and leaves him finally with a
painful, fiayed spot, after having
produced far less effect in a bene-
fetal way than was intended. Now
q mustard plaster should never
blister at all. If a blister is want
ed, there are other plasters far bet
ter than mustard plaster; then
use no water but mix the mustard
with the white of an egg, and the
result will be a plaster which will
'draw" perfectly, but will not pro-
duce blister on the skin of an in
FAINT, no matter how long it is al
lowed to remain on the part.

shrinks from the application of
cold water, if in health. Every
body knows that cold water cannot
wash the hands clean, and yet
whole tones are scrubbed about

Cold water kills more than it cures.

Result OF the California
Drought.

WatsonV1iIe, Cal, Transcript.
1t is estimated that from one-haTf
to twO-thirds of the sheep in the
state have persisted from starva-
ton. The loss of cattle is not so
large, as they were taken to the
mountains in time. DIR. Swain, of
Watsonville, started for the noun
tains from Freshno on the 2lst with
over three thousand sheep, and the
lifeless carcasses of over twenty-five
route taken. The doctor says that
cover the plains, and hundreds OF
sheep and lambs fall into line behind
the wagon of the traveller and fol-
low, in the hope of getting a morsel
of hay. One man from the San
Joaquin valley lost every sheep he
had-eleven thousand-auring q
storm, and went home a penniless
man. Another, an Italian, thought
he could save the cost of ferrying his
sheep across the Tuolnmne river by
swimming them, and eight hundred
were drowned in the attempt. An
other man, east of Visaiia, despair
ing Of ever getting his sheep to
where there was feed, turned
twelve thousand out to starve. Ifhe
undertook TO drive them to the
mountains many of them must die
OF starvation before reaching there,
because there Is no feed on the way,
and then when the mountains are
reached, ali the good feed is already
taken up by men who hold posses
eiOns. shotgun In hand, and who
are desperate enough to fight to the
death. There will probably be q
good many cases of bloodshed and
death in the mountains this sum-
mer, and many stock men will mys-
teriously disappear to return no
more.
