New YoRK, March %, 1877.
The sensation OF the week is the disap-
pearance of Oakley Hall, which. 20 far, is I'M
explained. lie was missed, first, Friday,
and it was ascertained that he had not been
either at his home or his office for some
days Search was made for him, but so far in
vain Hall is, or was, the most singular
man in America. A splendid lawyer, he
preferred the plaudits of dinner table Of
roystcrers to any triumph that could be
achieved at the bar An astute politician,
he might have had anything in the gift Of
his party, and was elected Mayor Of TIE city,
after filling other less important places, but
his love OF good fellowship came in and
wrecked him there Either from good ma
ture or because he needed the money, he
allowed the Tweed gang to get control of
him, and he shared tine odium Of the
Ring. lie was tried for compile
ity in the great steal but acquitted, and it
killed him as 4 politician and he resumed
the practice OF the law. His bohemianism
oyercame him again, and he got craze for
the stage. lie believed he had in him the
elements of great actor, and in spite OF the
advice of friends wrote 4 play, and took
himself the principal character in it. 1t
was fiat failure, and at the end of three
weeks he was forced to 60 back to the law.
And now he has disappeared, and no one
knows where he is. Some say that the re-
turn of Sweenv wOuld put him in an awk-
ward position, others say that an English
actress has control of him, others that he Is
a dciauter, and dare not abide an investI-
CATION, others that he has gone crazy and Is
wandering Oakley Hall will probably turn
up in Europe, and will make himself the
centre of a circle there as he was here. lie
has not committed suicide for he enjoyed
life too much. His life has beena failure
here, and instead of attempting to amend it
he has thrown of all restraints, and will live
as he plcn>c- somewhere else. This will be
found To be the true secrc; of the Hall mys-

Gun AMISEMENTs.

The stats that young men OF fortune are
put t. for amusement Is shown in an affair
that happened in one Of the clubs the other
day. One young man maze II remark con
corning II wlsh-bono in a turkey, and anoth-
err said there was no such thing in the bird.
The dispute ran high on thus important
point. and 1t was the topic of discussion for
DAYS finally wager was made OF II supper
Tor twenty, and-thc wish-honc was found.
But it did not end here. The hcttcrS carved
each turkey, nnd one criticized the others
performance. Immediately another wager
was made as to their respective skill with
the carving-kniie and wager Of another
dinner to decide it was made. Committees
were appointed, specifications were made as to
tho points to be decided, and 50 the two
young gentlemen made Il carving match. 1t
is Il pity that the time was not recorded Tor

Resuming the subject of the teeth, Prof.
Greasy predicted that in some future genera
ton OF man, not very remote, there Will be
a loss OF the back mOlars or wisdom
teeth, and man will have only two
molars on each jaw. He based this
prediction upon tho present interiorlty
of the back mOlars as compared with
those of the ancient races of Indians, found
in their skeletons. This inferiOrity is so
marked that it is reliable test in deter
mining whether skeletons discovered
belong to the ancient race, or more modern
Indians.
TIE COW sheds her milk teeth, the two
front incisOrs, at two years old and the
remaining ones at intervals of six months
for each pair till they get full
mouth of permanent teeth at four years
old. Sheep Commence to shed their
milk teeth at one year old and continue
to shed in pairs at intervals Of nlno
months. till they have full mouth at three
years old.
IOuatt's work is not correct on some OF
these points. for this country and for this
time, though 1t may have been correct fifty
years ago. For our precocious develop
ment in this country, at least, fouatt's
Almanac Is too slow. The lecturer alluded
to the idea, held by some, that certain
people OF animals had double teeth
all the way round the jaw. This is not
correct, the appearance being due to
the wearing down OF the teeth till they pre-
sent facets similar to those OF small double
teeth, but they are single teeth and there Is
not on record single instance where jaw
has been found filed with double teeth each
with two tangs or roots.

the benefit of the ages. Another club was
agitated two days as to the size of an actress
foot, and for time it drove out of their
minds all interest in horses and other wO-
men The only comfort get in these things
is that while they are finding wish-bones and
carving turkeys On wagers they are doing
nothing worse.
THE rENITEST TRAMP.
The police magistrates have been taken
in and New York is laughing at them. One
morning man was discovered by police
man trying to break into store down town.
OF course he was arrested, and before the
magistrate he made statement lie was
Dane and came to this country twenty years
| ago. Having been enticed into a gambling
house and robbed, he became the unwilling
victim Of thieves and had lived a life of
crime for twelve years. He had Just been
parioned out of the Ohio penitentiary,
whittier he had been sent five years ago for
robbing the First National Bank of Cincin-
natl lie had walked all the way from
Columbus, could get nothing to do but
determined not to 60 back to his old life had
slammed robbery that he might be sent to
| Sing Sing where he could live and be honest.
Intense sympathy was excited for this peni-
tcntial thief Suits of clothes were given
him, money was sent to him, and influential
parties got him place in a paint store.
| Hansen was about to walk out in a blaze
of yirtuous glory, when unfortunately
he was recognized. 1t was found that the
| bank in Cincinnati had never been robbed,
that he had never been in the Ohio peniten-
tiary, and had never committed any par
ticuar crimes. In short he was merely a
very impudent tramp who had calculated
nicely as to how to make raise The
moment it was discovered that he was not
hardened villain who had got spasm of
| repentance, all interest in him ceased, and
| he was bundled out with as much readiness
as he had been taken in. But he got away
with some excellent clothes and money
enough to set up small bar.

In the hog, all the diseases which ami

some people to "black teeth" which IN

A RAILROAD Strike.


The strike on the Grand Trunk railway
continues and has extended over the entire
road. Disturbances have occurred at several
places, and at Point st. Charles the en-
gineers seized the turn-table and refuse to
let any train pass. Engines and cars en-
cumber the road at intervals. One train
from Montreal was abandoned few miles
from Coburg, and the passengers, GO in
number were taken to Coburg in sleighs.
The company say they can provide en-
gineers for the passengers and most of the
freight trains, if tho authorities will guar
antee the safety of the substitutes and the
company's property. On the other hand,
the strikers are determined that there shall
be no traffic on the road until their demands
are complied with, and their numbers and
attitude are so formidable that no attempt
to move an engine has yet been made. A
force of military has been sent to Belleville
Station to preserve the peace and pilot q
passenger train to Montreal. 1t is under
stood that negotiations are going on be-
tween the authorities and the company in
reference to the protection of the latter's
property.

An Unpleasant Passenger.

The Wilmington, N. c., Star says -
The Norwegian barque Surprise, Captain
Weigner, now in this port, had quite an
exciting adventure lately. 1t appears that
while the vessel was at some point in
Africa, about six or seven months ago,
hugh snake, of the species known as the
boa constructor, some fifteen feet in length,
by some means got on board of the ship
without the knowledge of any of the officers
or crew, and made his way into the hold
where he proceeded to enscone himself
into comfortable quarters, with the view,
we suppose, of taking a trip to see the
world
The vessel sailed and his snakeship, not
having his name registered on the passen-
ger list, was not discovered until after
landing at Liverpool, when upon proceed
ing to remove the cargo, which consisted of
wool and other articles, the presence of the
constructor was made known, and then the
stampede that occurred among the bewii-
dered and affrighted stevedores, as we'll as
all others on the ship at the time, constitu-
ted scene long to be remembered.

Come now and let us Reason Together.

why do people so frequently say to DIR.
4'ieree, II suppose your Golden Medical
discovery cures every thing?" Because
at has been the practice of knavish charla-
tans to manufacture worthless nostrums
rand attempt to dupe the ignorant and
credulous by recommending them to cure
every form of disease. To such an extent
; has this been practiced that it is no wonder
that many have acquired prejudices against
all advertised remedies. But DR.. Pierce
does not advertise his standard prepara-
tions as 'cure-alls," does not claim that
they will perform miracles but simply
publishes the fact that they have been de-
veloped as specifics for certain forms of
disease for which he recommends them,
after having tested their efficacy in many
hundred cases with the most gratifying
success. 1t is fact known to every we'll
informed physician that many single reme-
dies possess several different properties.
rQuinine, for instance, has a tonic quality,
which suggests its use in cases of debility
an anti-perodic, by which it is efficacious
in ague and a febriefuge property, which
renders it efficacious in cases of fever The
result of its administration will also vary
with the quantity given and the circum-
stances under which it is employed. So,
likewise the Golden Medical Discovery
possess both pectoral and Alternative, or
blood cleansing properties Of the highest
order By reason of these two prominent
properties it cures two classes of diseases
First, those cf the sespiratory organs, as
throat. bronchial, and lung affections
chronic coughs and asthma, and second
diseases of the blood and glandular system,
in which affections all skillful physicians
employ alternatives, as in cases of blotches,
reruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumors, absces-
ses, and in torpor of the liver or "bilious-
ness" While its use is, by its combina-
ton, yet you need not take it expecting it
will cure you if your lungs are half con-
sumed, nor because it is recommended as
blood medicine would it's proprietor advise
you to take it expecting it to cure cancer.
1t will not perform miracles, but it will
cure many grave forms Of disease.

Having received great benefit from the
nse of your valuable remedy, DR.. WIsTAR's
BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY, l feel it my
duty To say something in its favor. For
some time my two little boys were more or
less afflicted with severe coughs which at
times were so violent that we were kept up
with them all night. We tried many remedies
with no effect. On hearing of WIsTAR's s
BALsAM, we gave II trial, and can truly
say it gave immediate relief. IL being
pleasant to take, the children would call
for it every time they coughed, and before
one week the cough had entirely left them.
Since then have used it myself for coughs
and colds, and have found it as effective
with me as the children, and / can safely
recommend it to the public"

Use and Waste of Time.

A life organized with order and pur-
pose has time for most things : one left

able TO pick up ten consecutive minutes
ont of the heap of waste and and irregu-
larity to which tue pleasant harmony oil
the hours is reduced. No excuse is 81
pitiful as this want of time Wherein to
do your duties, TO fulfil your engage
ments, IT, get through your appointed
tasks. If il is a real excuse, you are
Simply oSer-weighted. ana your first
business ouget to be to cat oil those oil
your burdens you can spare best .hd
which you fulfil worst: but If it is oaly
an u.ppafeat excuse and not .eality'
the fault lies, not in your having -"
much to do, but in bad arrangement -
not in the want but i'll The wa 'te Of
time. Then the great thing 10 do is t.
reasrange your work aud your time, ANA
to make them liz ia more harmopAnsly
together. There are some people who
have the faculty of making use oF every

minutes wnen waiting for his wife to
put her bonnet on; and many women
do all their little bits OF fancy work and
the like in the idle moaents of the day,
when neither work mon play comes into
organization. All great mn aud sue
cessful workers have been careful oi
those odd corners of the hours, those
uuconsidered five minutes, which other-
wise were of no va,ue to amy one. On
the other hand, most unsuccessful PEG
