COMMON SENsE.-It is simply in
keeping with common sense to say
that specialist who gives his undi-
vided attention to the treatment of a
certain class of diseases ought to sue
coed where practitioners in gene1-
al practice may fail. DR.. E. B. FooTE,
of 100 Lexington Avenue, New
York City, has given his exclusive at
tention to the treatment of CHRONIC
DISEASE for twenty-five years during
which time he has cured thousands
WHOSE faces he has never seen. If
you will send to him for his searching
list of questions you will see how this
has been done in part. Consultation
in person or by male FREE. DR..
Foote's works, Plain Home Talk en-
bracing Medical Common Sense, Sci
ence in Story, ETC., are publications
we'll known to the reading public.
Taking all of the Doctors publica-
tons together it is not too much to
say that millions of copies have been
sold.

THE AorninQ Herald had occasio

THE Morning Herald had occasion
recently to say ef the Evening NesOs
Cloth Baltimore papers) that when
one throws stone in the dark and
hears cat squall, it is fair to pre-
sumo that cat was struck" For in
stance, the following is bright illus
tration /:
Weyer's cave was discovered by running
'possum into hole, and the Luray cave
was found by delving for rabbit that had
gone in the ground. 1t is now believed
that an immense cavern might be reached
by chasing wildcat which ran up Gar
rett county mans nose on election day
Frostburg Journal.
This was playful squib, based up
on an item similar to the first sentence
found in an exchange, and designed
to apply to nobody in particular
But something was struck-badly
struck hear the eloquent squall:
For vague and abstruse attempts at sat-
ire, outre sallies of wit, classical profundity
and far-fetched Latin, the JOURNAL wears
the belt
If the symptoms do not soon improve
we fer it will be necessary to send mus
teIG turo up into the cavities of "new
county" mans Uranium to ferret out the
trouble there and restore that massive in
tellect to its normal condition. Glrrett
County Herald.
That reads like a woman "hand-
writing" 1t sounds like feminine
you're wildcat yourself" Send a
naustelo talro up into the cavities, etc.,
eh? Where did the Herald get the
ninny-hammer idea of repeating what
it is pleased to term vague and alb
struse," "outre," etc., and returning
them upon US utterly stripped of
originality, force, and application
But We affirm that if the squall
comes from the Herald, it com es from
a quarter not aimed at. Notwith-
standing something was struck if the
Herald is the victim it thinks it was a
Vague and abstruse" stroke, an
"osstre stroke, indeed stroke of
classical profundity," yea, more, a
"farfetched Latin" stroke. Itthinks,
too, that wearing the bel" is attend
ed with Symptoms" and we are led
to infer that those symptoms can
Improve better or worse the
therapeutic Herald does not say. In
order to Improve" the "belt," how
ever, lit will he necessary to send a
mustela .ts1ro up into the cavities of a
"new county" mans cramiapma to ferret
out the trouble there and restore that
massive intellect to its normal condi-
ton In other words, the Hevazd
calls "belt" a massive intellect"
If a 'belt, one wears it in his head
or if massive intellect" since the
head is occupied, there nothing else to
do but buckle it around the stomach.

THIS is about all there is in the
Civilians last retort:
You have the biggest growl in the State;
and 1t doesn't cost you cent.
We can't fathom the meaning of
that. In its present application it is
quite impossible to ascertain what a
"growl" is; photographers omit all
instances of the kind here set forth
1t must, therefore, be a Specification
either obsolete or coined in the Gval-
ian Office to express something which
the laws Of philology do not warrant.
In the latter case it is vulgar. An
other unique quality Of this sort of
"growl" is that is either costly or not,
the "biggsst" one seeming to be the
cheapest. And "that will do very
well-for you." Don't you got no
other original notion of "growl ?"

RELATIVE Cost OF Coal TRANS
FORMATION BY WATER AND BY RAIL
The increasing Importance of the
coal importations into London is caus-
ing renewal of the struggle of 1871
between the railroads and steam col.
liers for the transportation Of it.
In their Intellectual attempt 1871,
the roads lost at the rate of 100000
per annum, and, from testimony Civ
en- before a Parliamentary Committee,
cannot hope to do much better in the
threatened contest without the gov
eminent interference which they seek.
The manager of one Of the largest coal
lines to London states, in his evidence
that che cannot carry Goals any cheap.
er than from O'O2Od. to O'024d. pei
ton per mile" exclusive of trucks
while coal via Boston, by screw col
lier, costs under OO06d. per ton per
mile.
In the face of these figures it is
hardly possible that the railroads
ever get the advantage over water
transportation, no matter to what ex-
tremes they may attempt to urge
legislation.
That the matter is worth fighting
for however is shown by the statistics
of the London Supply, which in 1871,
had grown in few years from l,OOO-
600 tons to between 100000 and
100000 tons, and is now, in 1878,
100000 tons.

MORE light is wanted More light
on the subject of the Electric Light"
Not that there is not a sufficient
amount of predictions as to what the
electric light may do in tho way of in
tensity of light, but as to its economy
and meditation or divisibility, 80 as
to make it practical in private dwell
lings, and the kind of light which will
give proper reflections and shadows.
IT is stated, from an unusually trust
worthy source, that the detectives
have clue in the Stewart case, which
promises a successful result, and
that arrests will be made by Satur-
day or Sunday. The men are named,
and the evidence against them is CIV
en- with such defniteness that this
statement is believed to be we'll found
ed. Up to the present, however, the
police have nothing to announce.
WHAT A TRUE HISTORY OF THE
HUMAN RACE Would BIN truth
in this so-called universal history"
there is but one light to guide us,
which, however, has not often been
employed hitherto: that is the doc
trine Of epidemic mental disease. As
in mental diseases occurring in in
vividuals, so here, it is hard to draw
the lines of distinction between in
sanity, depravity. But the few who
contemplate, as it were, from the lofty
summit Of an intellectual crag, in an
Archimedean way, the doings of
mankind here below, can not be very
far wrong in holding that to be the
true history of the human race which,
through all its ups and downs Of for
tune, its crimes and its errors, traces
for US it's gradual rise out of a state of
semi brutishness, its progress in arts
and sciences, its daily-increasing we'll
being, its Liberation from the bonds of
superstition, and it's steady approx
nation to those ends which make man
what he is. In polity and war, whose
Improbable and monotonous os-
citations are the subject-matter of
political history, man had predeces-
sors among invertebrate animals
even; but the human race alone offers
history of civilization. Hegel calls
the horse and iron the absolute Or
gan of civilized power" With great
err justice, we say that natural science
is the absolute organ of civilization,
and hence that the history Of natural
science is the proper history of the
human race.-Du Bois-Reymond, in
Popular Science Monthly.

INTERESTING TO FREEMAsoNs.-The Grand
Lodge of Freemasons in Ireland has passed the
following resolution:
Whereas The Grand Lodge of Ireland has
received official notification that the Grand Orient
of France has altered the first article of its con-
stitution and omitted therefrom, of its fun
damental principles, belief in the existence of
God and the Immortality of the SOUL the Grand
Lodge of Ireland hereby resolves that the Grand
Orient of France having by such alteration rem
dered admissible members of lodges within its
jurisdiction persons who do not believe in the ex-
istence of personal deity, has thereby caused a
breach in the foundation of ancient Masonry and
acted in violation of the first great principle of
the ORDER and, therefore, the Grand Lodge of Ire
land hereby declares that it cannot continue to
recognize the Grand Orient of France as Ma
sonic body, and it hereby directs all lodges work
ing under the Irish Constitution to decline receiv-
ing Masons any persons hailing from the Grand
Orient of France or from any subordinate lodges
under its jurisdiction"
An attempt has been made to identify the order
of Freemasonry in the United States with infidel
and revolutionary societies bearing similar name
on the Continent. This reputation is likely to be
regarded with general satisfaction.

DISTRESSING ACCIDEYr-A CHILD BURNFD.-0n
Thursday, the 18th inst, Asbury Cromwell and
his wife, who livene Black Horse, Hartford coun-
ty. went away from home to work at neigbbor's,
leaving one in their house except their three
children, the youngest an infant. During the abb
sence of the parents, one of the children, little
boy six years old, while playing with the fire in
the stove, accidentally set fire to his clothing.
The latter, consisting of little more than a slip
and shirt, was entirely burnt upon the chid's
body. The little fellow was terribly injured, his
finger ends being burned almost to a crisp. Tho
Oldest child aged eight years, tried TO put out the
flames, but was unable to do it, and the fire went
out only from lack of combustible materiSf on the
cbild's person. The little boy afterwards went up
stairs and crept into bed, whittier he followed
by the oldest child, with the infant. When the
parents returned all three children were found
huddled in the bed, the injured boy being by that
time unconscious DR.. j. T. Payne, who has been
rendering all the relief in his power to the little
sufferer, at first despaired of his life, but at last
accounts there was slight prospect of the child's
rccoyery.-ReIcir z71qis.
