1IH. DIOGENES.

This singular man lived in Greece. He
was distinguished for his eccentricities, bad
manners, and bad disposition. Il was his
chief business to fiud fault For example,
he took a lantern one day when the sun was
shining brightly and went out to search for
an honest man, thereby insinuating that
such persC were exceedingly scarce. When
Alexander, distinguished military gentle
man, paid MIN a visit and inquired what he
could DO for him, he had the impudence TO
tell him to ''get out Of his sunshine" To
cap the climax of has oddities. he dressed
like q beggar and lived in a tub, He was
sour, grabbed, crusty old bachelor. We infer
that he had no wife, first, because history
does not mention her; second, because no
woman would lake kindly to one of his hab-
its, dress, or manners or aspire 10 become
mistress OF his mansion. There was an old
woman who lived in Shoe" it is true, but
the woman who would live in a tub, and es-
pecialiy with such n companion, has not
been heard from. The misAnthropic spirit
which possessed this man vas doubtless due
to disordered digestion and biliousness,
one OF the prominent symptoms Of which is a
mOrOse ,fault>inding disposition. The tongue
is heavily coated, giving rise to bad taste,
the appetite is not good, and the patient
feels dull, sleepy or dizzy, and is apt to be
fretful. Unfortunately, Mr. OiOgenes lived
several centuries before Dr. Pierce's Pleas
ant Purgative Pellets were invented, few
doses of which would have relieved him of
his bile" and enabled him To find scores
of " honest men" without the to aid of his
lantern. Under their magic influence com
bined with that of the Golden Medical Dis
covery, to clense his blood, he might have
been led to take a more cheerful view of
life, to exchange his tub for decent habi-
tation. to "spruce up" in personal appear
ance, and at last have taken a wife TO mend
his clothes and his manners, both of which
were in evident need of repairs, and become
the happy sire of little Diogeueses who would
have handed down to posterity the name,
not of cvnic philosopher, but of a cheer
full, healthy, happy, virtuous man!

The Great Smith Family.

Disguised the name may sometimes be.
but it is the most common name through
out all European countries. 1t does
sometimes affect a spelling above the
common, and appears as Smyth, Smythe
or de Smyte. 1T also in England as
sumes Latin guise (from terTuDa), and
becomes Terrier and Ferrars, one of the
noble names of England, associated also
with a tragedy not noble either in its
character or its consequences. In Ger
many we have the Schmidts; in Italy
the Fabri, Fabricia, or Fabbroni. In
France the lie Febres or Lefevres. AL
though most of the European languages
adhere more closely to the old northern
name even in Latin we have volumes
in our library by Johannes Smithus, and
we have seen in Italy Giovanni SMITH.
The Spaniard's version of John Smith
is Juan Smithus; the Dutchman adopts
it az Han Schmidt; the French soften it
into Jean Smeets; the Russian Ioughens
it into Jouloff SmittOwski. John Smith
goes into the tea trade with China, and
then he becomes JahOn Shimmit Among
the Icelanders he Is Jaime SmIthson;
Among the TuscarOras he is Tom Gu
Smittia In Poland, Ivan ScAmittia-
veiski; among tie Welsh we are told
Jbey talk Oh JlhoHl ochniuu IN mexico
he is written down as ,Joulti +. Smitri ;
among the classical ruins of Greece he
| becomes Ion Simihton; in Turkey he
is almost lost sight of as zoe Seef.
Philology also assures us that those an
cient names of the kings of Syria, Hadad
and Benhadad, are the equivalents of
our Smith and Smithson, just as the
terms pontiff or pontifex point back
to the time when the chief man was he
who built bridges or constructed roads !;
50, at last, these and the like terms we
have quoted came to be considered the
proudest designations of the royal house /;
and when the usurper, the founder of
another family, seized the throne, he as
| sumed the same honored titles associated
with distinguished benefits conferred on
the cOuntry.-LeisUre Hour

WHAT'S the Matter

"Bangs" writes: A sinister looking
tramp with a scarlet nose, and dressed in
the tOga of a hod-carrier, reeled out of
the doorway of Main street, Cambridge,
sample-room, last week, and with features
hideously convulsed, he squat himsel
down on the curb-stone and profanely
Inuttered, Cursed if | shouldn't like

himself up on to his feet, wiped the
lager beer froth from tangled dirty
whiskers, and sidled off into Pearl street,
swearing like Lexington milkman.-

A new electric alarm had been intro
duced into the ST. George hotel. ms

subject of practical test by party .,
Young men, headed by a young DaVai
officer. who, in their desire to perpetrale
what they no doubt looked upon as a
practical joke, did not consider the sen
Gus results that might have ensued. Inc

and instantly the bell in the Office rang
out vigorously, the members of the hre
brigade rushed to their allotted posts ana
the water poured in upon the nice young
men, dampening their spirits and their
clothes and drenching the carpet and
furniture. The lady guests ran scream
ing from their rooms, the once smiling
youths swan out from the apartment,
squeezed their streaming clothes and
tried hard not TO look foolish and failed
most admirably. Matters explained, the
threatened panic was averted. aud the
damp young men stood before the clerks

them, while nice little bill of damages
was made out for the practical jokers.-

BUILDING THE C4LIFORNIA END
OF THE SOUTHERN Pacific.

A dispatch from Los Angeles says:
" Construction material is now being dis
patched to the Southern Pacific railroad
front at the rate of fifty cars a day.
This supply is considered sufficient for
the construction of two and Ealf miles
of track per day, and the force of labor
ers on the ground is strong enough to
exceed this distance even, with increased
supplies. The end of the track to night
is seventeen miles this side of the Colo
RADIO river. and it is expected that the
distance intervening will be overcome by
the latter part of next week. After
crossing the Colorado, the road will be
extended seven miles up the left bank of
theliver Yuma. San Francisco Bulletin.

NERO USNEss AND NEETINEE.

Nervousness is one of the prices we
have to pay for civilization; the nervous
savage is being unheard OF. For this
disorder, which is partly Of mental and
partly of bodily nature, relief is sought
in various ways, and among these we
may place the employment of narcotics.
The temporary relief afforded by these
drugs is very apt to lead those who suffer
from nervous sensations to put too much
trust in, and resort too frequently to
them. In the long run they prove most
destructive to health. Their use has OF
late been so frequent as to threaten So
ciety with a serious evil. 1t has been
boldly contended that choral is to be
found in the work-boxes and baskets of
nearly every lady in the west end of the
metropolis, to calm her nerves" No
doubt this is an exaggeration, but it is a
fact that in New York chloral punch
had become an institution scarcely a year
after the Introduction of chloral into
medical practice, and now it turns out
that Germany-'sober, orderly, pattern
ally-ruled GeTmany'-has such a thing
as morphia disease spreading among its
population. The symptoms are not I'M
like those of opium-eating. Experience
suggests that persons suffering from this
disease should at once be deprived of the
drug. Their willfullness and liability to
relapse, however, are so great, that it is
said that only about twenty-five per
cent. have been seen to recover in large
series of cases. CasseTs daga-iHc.

SlNG UL1R DEATH OF SURGEON

A Manchester surgeon named Harri.
son, who had been suffering from tooth.
ache, went to have the aching tooth
extracted. The dentist, Mr.. Williams
tried to take the tooth out without gas
but Mr.. Harrison, being sensitive, wished
to have gas, and it was administered IN
him in the usual way. The dentist
asked him to wave his hand when he had
had sufficient. The deceased was excited
from pain, and said he had had nothing
to eat that day, and could not live on
stimulants. Mr.. Williams tried, from
his appearance after.the gas had been in
hailed, to extract the tooth, but the de-
ceased said he must Shave the gas until
he snored. The gas was then given him
until he snored, and Mr.. Williams ex-
tracted two teeth. AS the deceased did
not appear to be coming round, Mr.. Will
liams opened the window to admit the
air, and sent for medical man. DIR.
Worsley arrived soon after and found
that the patient was dead The Dost-g1or-
tenn showed that there was great deposit
of fat throughout the organs, especially
the heart, and that the cause of death
was the sudden failure of the hearts &C
ton. The jury found as their verdict
that the deceased "died from syncope
during the administration of nitrous.
oxide gas for the extraction of teeth
while laboring under fatty degeneration

discovery that CONSUMPTION can be positive

many years of his sojourn there, he devoted
his time to the treatment of Lung Diseases,

orous discharge of each and all of the bodi-
ly functions, are invariably afflicted with
some, though it may be triAing, disorder CT
the system. Atony, or want of nervous and
muscular vigor is accomplished by poverty of
the blood and leanness. A certain way to
overcome it and prevent the aggravated
maladies to which 1t must ultimately lead is
to use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
promote digestion and assimilation of the
food, and thus are the means of furnishing
the body with a supply of blood of quality
essential to its proper nourishment. Invig-
goration through the fundamentally of the
matchless tonic protects the feeble from a
host of bodily ills which Turk in ambush for
the debiliatated. The Bitters are an article
which is most desirable to keep constantly
on hand.

A FACT mentioned by DIR. Edwards at
late meeting of the San Francisco MI
croscopical society may be new to many
of our readers. What is called rice
paper" imported from China, is ptopu-
larly believed TO be made of rice. Indeed,
the statement has been made by residents
in China that they had seen the process
of manufacture from pulp, similar to the
method of plaking ordinarylpaper. Their
statement can not, however, be accepted,
as Quekett some tine ago dis covered by
means of the microscope that the so-called
&C rice paper" is natural cellular tissue
Further inquiry has determined that
this paper is simply the pith OF
Chinese tree, Aralia paryritern, sliced
or shaved in thin sheets.

THE collections taken in the Southern
Methodist churches for the relief of the
UNCONVENTIONAL publishing house in
Nashville will not, it is feared, be sufi-
cient to accomplish the object. A cor
respondent of one of the Northern Meth
odist papers writes from The south: al
thought at first that the collections
might aggregate $4,000 but now l in.
cline to the opinion that $4,000 will be
as much as our 100000 members will
contribute to relieve the peril of our
house. The bishops said un-
less it gets speedy help it will fail" 1t
is to be hoped that failure may be averted

Methodists since 1865 in recognizing
their charitable and other institutions

THE CENTENNIAL DECISION.

The decision of the supreme court in
the centennial case will compel the man
ayers of that national exhibition TO fork
over to Uncle Sam the fun amount of
the money advanced by the national
treasury. The stock OF the concern,
which was yesterday quoted in the
eighties, has fallen to twenty-five cents
on the dollar. The Judiciary at Phia-
delphia also gets 4 setback, inasmuch
as the Fappeal of the government
from the decision of the circuit
court of Philadelphia, which de-
cided in favor of the centennial commits
sioners, is oYerruled by the unanimous
decision of the full bench. Had the de-
cision of the Philadelphia court been
sustained, not a few who specialized in
the stock would have made good haul
The truth is, there was a centennial
ring, which included in its membership
nearly all the owners of the Philadelphia
newspapers, and about all the commits
sioners. The game was worked quite
adroitly. First it was announced that
the!show would be failure, would net pay
expenses, etc, until those who we're in the
ring boughts took at low rate, and then
commenced to bull it up. Those on the
ground floor bought it in at fiftv cents
on the dollar; and after the government
appropriation, by liberal newspaper
laudation, shot it up to eighty. Now
that it has dropped to twenty-five, the
peaceable citizens of the Quaker City
will indulge in cuss words and bewail the
ingratitude of the American republic.
