The telephone.

That which would have seemed impossible
and miraculous u few years since, is now
regarded as the legitimate fruit of our
mental development and inventive genius
The telegraph, sub marine cable, and tele-
phone, have each IN its successive turn
been thought the GROWING marvel of the
age That speech pronounced in Boston
should report itself over the wires to an
audience in Brooklyn, and a hymn played
in New York should be audible in Wash
iugton, is indeed wonderful. But is it not
equally wonderful that r. V. Pierce, NJ
D., of Buffalo, y. Y, can, through his
peculiar system Of diagnosis, and without
seeing the patient, obtain as accurate and
perfect knowledge of most chronic dis
eases as though he had made personal
examination? And is it not reasonable to
| suppose that as great progress has been
made IN the occult sciences as in the more
| tangible and readily demonstrate prob
lens of metaphysics, where each new inven-
ton is but the logical sequence of the one
| that precedes it? The failure of physicians
to fulfill their promises has created wide
spread feeling Of distrust; but is it right to
condemn all physicians because the greed
or ignorance of few induced them to do
wrong? ldany are prejudiced against DR..
Pierce's Family Medicines, and enormously
fancy them to be" cure-als, but has not

q Suggestion TO the TRAVELLING Publ,


Tourists, emigrants and mariners find
that Hostetters Stomach Bitters is medi-
cinal safeguard against unhealthful influ-
ences, upon which they can ip plicitly rely,
since it prevents the effects that unhealthy
climate, vitiated atmosphere, unacustomed
or unwhoesome diet, bad water, or other
conditions unfavorable to health would
otherwise produce. On long voyages, or
journeys by land in ATTITUDES adjacent to
the equator, it is especially useful
as preventive of the febrile complaints
and disorders of the stomach, liver and
bowels, which are apt to attack natives of
the temperate zones sojourniDg or
travelling in such regions, and it is
an excellent protection against the infu-
cnce Of extreme cold, sudden changes of
temperature, exposure to damp or extreme
fatigue. 1t not only prevents intermit-
tent and remittent fever, and other disea-
ses of malaral type, but eradicates them,
fact which has been notorious for years
past 10 North and South America, Mexico,
the West Indies, Australia and other
countries.

A YENOMOUS BATTLE.

A short time ago one Of our
young men conceived the idea
of getting a tarantula and put
ting him against Mr.; Smiths
scorpion in an open fight. The
taraDtula was procured recently,
and both venomous creatures
were placed in a large tin box:
In an instant they made a dart
at each other; and were rolling
over and over until they brought
UP against the side, of the box.

ness. The tarantula, being
much larger than his antagonist,
made great efforts to crush him
in his strong embrace, but with
out success. Then he piled his
sting and kept the scorpion
pretty busy, who relied upon
his sack Of poison and his hos
tile claws for victory. He seem
ed to prefer to keep underneath
the tarantula, and lying on his
back he covered the enemy with
bites and poison. The fight last.
ed about ten minutes, and ended
in favor of the scorpion. About
an hour afterward the tarantula
died, but the scorpion is still
fresh for another battle.-Eure-
ka (Nevada) Leader.
