w Lottery speculations have re-
ceived Il severe blow in the opinion just
issued from the office of the Attorney
General for the post Office department.
Its purpOrt is that according to the pro-
visions of the statutes letters addressed
to lottery companies, or to indi-
viduals as agents of such companies,
are unmailable per Sc, and that post
masters must refuse to register such
letters. There are said to be at least
one hundred lottery schemes which here
after will be cut off from the use of the
post Office. They can neither send cir
culars, nor can letters to be sent by mail
be addressed to them. 1t will now be
held that the fact that the letter is
addressed to a lottery company must
be taken as furnishing sufficient evil
dence that it is letter concerning a
lottery, and is, therefore, unmaila-
BILE. The ingenuity of the lottery men
is boundless, and so is the cupidity OF
their customers but at any rate, the
Government, so far as possible, will not
be made go-between in this business.

Two VoICEs.-''The sweetest voice

mans. 1t was soft and low, but pene-
trating; musical and measured in its
accents, but not precise. We were on a
steamer, and she murmured some COM
mon place about the scenery. 1 do not
remember what she said, but l can
never forget the exquisitely tender mu-
steal voice." "The sweetest voice ever
heard" replied the professor, "was a

all day, and got back to the hotel about
3 o'clock. The man came out on the

A SURPRISED Physician,

A DYING PATIENT RECEIVERS THROUGH
THE IN~TERPosITIoN OF A HUMBLE GER
MAN.-Some weeks ago DR.. c. very
reputable and widely-known physician,
living on c. street, was called to at
tend a very complicated case of Rheum-
atism. Upon arriving at the house he
found a man, about forty years of age,
lying in a Frustrated and serious condi-
ton, with his whole frame dangerously
affected with the painful disease. He
prescribed for the patient, but the man
continued to grow worse, and on Sunday
evening he was found to be in a very
alarming condition. The knees and ell
bows and larger joints were greatly in
famed, and could not be moved. TWAS
only with extreme difficulty that the pa
tent could be turned in bed, with the aid
of three or four persons. The weight OF
the clothing was so oppressive that means
had to be adopted to keep it from the pa
TENTS body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
| would be Of no avail, and left the house,
the members OF the family following him
to the door, weeping. At this critical
hour, a neighbor, a poor and humble
German shoemaker, appeared to the
grief-smitten ones as a saving angel. He
had heard of the despair of the family,
and now asked them to try his remedy,
and accordingly brought forth a bottle o.
ST. JACOBS On. AS a drowning mar
will catch at straws, so the poor wife ap'
piled this remedy; she had no hope, but
would try anything, as a matter OF duty
The first application eased the patient
very much; after a few hours they used
it again, and, wonder of wonders, the
pain vanished entirely! Every subse
quent application improved the sufferer
and in two days he was well and out
When the doctor called a few days after
he was indeed surprised; for, instead o
a corpse, he found a new-made man.

The Physiological Journal 70,

The chronological journal for
January, 1880, mt early into the
field of American literature for the new
year. Its topics are selected with par
ticular reference to the season, and
each one has an important practical
bearing. 1t is ARE to find q serial pub
LEGATION which from month to month
covers SO broad a field, and yet so eff
fectively .instruets and interests its read
ers. To be sure, its work relates to hui
man nature specially, but n would
think it difficult to provide fresh, crisp,
matter, month after month, in such q
field. The JOURNAL, however, is a de-
monstration of the extent of the re-
sources at the command of the earnest
student.
Every page in this number seems to
have a special pertinence, a suggestion
or two being found therein which have
a useful bearing. At the opening, a
phase of American politics is presented
to the reader, in a sketch and portrait
of the Maine Senator, Mr.. Blaine. An
other personal sketch affects American
literature, especially poetry, and is q
really interesting paper, viz-Fitz-
Greene Halleck. Technical science has
its place, and is copiously illustrated in
the elaborate article entitled "Studies
in Comparative Phrenology." Here
the readers eye is arrested by an array
of facts of IN entirely novel order. A
capital article is that of s'Intemperance
in History" in the course Of which the
writer culls from old authorities to
show the sad effects of wine-drinking
in ancient times. "My Wicked Friend"
is a very pleasant life-incident, while
"The Old and New Education" sup
plies some very valuable hints, on
which parents and teachers would do
well to reflect. A juvenile story Is be-
gun, with the title of "The Young
Folks of Cherry Avenue" which will
be taking to the young readers Of the
PSYCHOLOGICAL. The department Of
"Science of HEALTH is well filled. The
article entitled Magnetism and Som
nambulism in Paris" is noteworthy as
offering some very extraordinary Incl
dents from a Paris observer. The reg
ular readers of the JOURNAL must find
the notes on "Science and Agricul-
ture," also the "Answers to Cores
pondents," a mine of intellectual
wealth. "What They Say" although
devoted to fugitive contributions, usual
ly contains many excellent notions,
etc. Taken altogether, as was limited
at the beginning of this notice, the
number is al excellent introduction to
the new year, and will please the large
circle of the JOURNALS subscribers.
The price Of this JOURNAL is now only
300 a year; single numbers 20 cents.
To each yearly subscriber is given q
chronological bust, or a book premi.
