Tuning up Nerves.

An Italian physician claims to have
made valuable discovery one that
should be warmly welcomed in this
country 1t is a method of tuning up
nerves, just as the strings of violin.
guitar or harp are tuned up, and of bring
ing them into such harmony that the
nervously-disordered person shall be in
stantly and entirely relieved. The nerves:
of the human body, in the Italians opin-
ion, lose their tone precisely as musical
instrument loses tone. If they all run
down alike, it is of small consequence, as
they will still be in unison But when
some run down completely, some partial
ly, and others not at all, harmony is who'll
ly destroyed, and nervous disturbance.
and suffering is the necessary result A
great deal Of i'll health and any number.
of deaths are directly traceable to de-
ranged nerves, particularly in America,
where, owing to the stimulating air. the
extremes Of heat and cold, the nature of
our institutions and our evershifting con
ditions, with other causes, we are the
most nervous people on the globe. If we
as nation could be periodically tuned
up, or rather tuned down-for we need re-
preston far more than exaltation-we
should be not only much contented and
physically much stronger, but we should
have vast reserve of force of which hith
erto we have not been able to boast We
make copious music, such as it is, over
here, but its quality and volume might
be improved and augmented by the
proper training of OUR nerves. We need
to have our discords reduced; our cords
are altogether too tense, and are continual
ly swapping by over strain. The Italian
should come to our land and begin his
experiments. 1t offers an admirable
field.

Betrayed by Music.

For nearly two years past a young
man wearing the garb of Highland
piper has been wandering about in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania, playing his
pipes in the streets, attending picnics and
dances, and apparently depending on his
instrument to make him living. A few
days since he was playing in a mining
village on the outskirts of Scranton, Penn.
A crowd had gathered around him, among
them mine laborer named Brady.
Suddenly the piper ceased the music, and
stepping from the crowd seized Brady by
the shoulder, and announced that the
laborer was his prisoner. At the same
time he produced papers which he said
were his authority for making the arrest.
Brady seemed entirely overwhelmed
by the arrest, and made no opposition to
the authorities when il was revealed that
the piper was detective For two years
ne had been on the track Of his prisoner
who is charged with having murdered a
wealthy man named Findlay, in Scotland
in January, 1877. Brady was in the en-
ploy of Findlay. EARLY one morn
ing the latter was found dead by the
roadside, his skull crushed with a club.
Brady had been discharged the morn
ing before for drunk enness. He had
been heard to make threat that he
would get even with Findlay. He was
nowhere TO be found, but was traced to
Glasgow, where, it was believed. he had
taken vessel for America. I William
Male, detective, was employed BY the rel
atives OF the murdered man to come to

How Dick Taylor Snubbed a Prince.

1t is related of General Dick TAYLOR,
that during the Derby races the Prince
Of Wales took him to his own (the
Prince's) stand, and as they were ascend
ing the stair the Duke of Edinburg came
hastily up and said: .-t III: ~
20 Wales do you know Forester is
booked to win?" a... ....:...: ......,..
ooh, yes" said the Prince, "the Gener-
al and have just been to the betting
stand and laid fifty guineas for me on
him." ...t.... ...... ,.+.....ss
Turning to Taylor, the Duke said:
"Now, won't you please go to the
stand and lay fifty gulneas for me on
him?n .. -, .....#-= -:.
"Pardon me, your Highness," said
Taylor; "the stand is quite as near to you
as to me- a1..-H
81 am SO glad you told Edinburg that
said the Prince. "What deal of cheek
he has to be asking my guest to lay his
bets for him." ~
Taylor had sincere respect and liking
for the Prince, and hearty contempt
for the Duke Of Edinburg, whom he snub-
ned on more than one occasion. Apart
from the personal character Of the Duke,
he was only the second son of Queen,
while Taylor was the only son of real
President of the United States. 81

She Shook Him.

1t has grown into fashionable custom
of late to have a mock auction sale of
the prettiest girls at church festivals. It
tends to increase the resources of the
church and at the same time very clearly
demonstrates in which way the affections
of youth are bent. For it is reasonable
to suppose that no ambitious young
man will permit his sweetheart to- be
knocked down to a rival until he has ex-
pended his last cent in the effort to be-
come the fortunate purchaser.
Acting upon this idea. fashionable
church in Denver is preparing for festi-
val, in which the auction business is to
form prominent feature. It has put the
young ladies into quite a futter OF ex-
element, and unhappily at this early
stage of the novelty-for however COM
mon in the East, l. is novelty here
has come very near wrecking the future
happiness of two estimable young crea-
lures. The fact in the case are these:
A young gentleman who confessed to
an amiable weakness tor one of the young
ladies who are to be disposed of on the
occasion referred to called on his Dull
cinea few evenings since, and very nat
urally the subject of the festival came up.
"I'm to be sold, Charley. Did you
know it," exclaimed the enchantress.
"No! Are you, though? 1 suppose I
shall have to buy you" Of ..:.r.
''Ot course. But how much do you reck-
on will sell for?" rft. .s.- T..
This was a naive inquiry, but it led to
a moment Of brief but sagacious specula-
tons. If he had any rival the girl was
likely to go high; if he didn't have any it
would appear as if he Was investing in an
exceedingly cheap article. ... :
II don't know" The words were
long drawn out, and his face was grave
II suppose dollar OF two.
1.-The had reflected moment longer it
never would have made this observation.
1t was born, however, Of sense of econ
omy, and he had no idea of what he
would lead to. But as the words fell
from his lips he looked at his inamorata
and caught the flash of indignant blue
eyes, which made his heart sink. '@.
"One or two dollars, Indeed! I'll sell
for fifty at the very lowest
II can't buy you, then'
"Sir!' and the lady's face was rigid
| with amaZement.
'"That isl mean to say-confound it,
Mania, I can't spare that much money!
and the poor fellow looked appealingly
at the divinity which was about to shape
the end Of his purse. But the disaster
had come. The young lady rose from
her seat like queen, and, with the cruel
remark that a gentleman who thought
so much Of $50 was not suitable man
to encourage as lover sailed majestical-
ly from the room.
And now that young mans soul is con-
vulsed with anguish, and his remarks up
on church festivals are fearful to contem-
plate. ...:

this country and search for Brady, who,
it was thought, would bring up in the
Pennsylvania coal regions, where he had
friends working. One Of Braidy's pecu-
liarities was his love for the bag pipe, so

disguise OF q Scotch piper, played about
in the coal towns, i'll the hope Of some
day attracting the attention of the man
he was seeking, he being sure from in

have been some wide fluctuations on the
Stock Exchange, there h been hardening
tendency to the money market, and while the
bulk OF the business call has b. en- done at a..

pay as high as 5016 per cent. Foreign ex-
change has been steady throughout the week
Government bonds have been fairly active
during the week, with fractional advance In
prices.
Railway and miscellaneous speculation was
active and decidedly irregular In course. At
the opening there was q sharp break In prices,
the decline ranging from to IA per cent. the
latter in Union Pacific Subsequently an adj
vance of 1 to 81 per cent, the latter in
Western Union, took place, but towards the
close the pressure to sell was renewed,
especially In the case OF coal stocks and
granger shares, and the greater part of the
advance was lost.
