THERE is "crying want Of physicians
in southern Roumania. Five out of every
six of those who spent the sumner in the
neighborhood of the Danube, died of ma
larial fever. Such as remain command
one hundred copecks per visit; but it has
usually followed that the physician
survives just about long enough
to earn enough copecks to pay his
funeral expenses 1t would be a blessing
to Illinois if the state were compelled to
furnish Roumania with all the doctors she
needs. We have scattered through our
hundred and and one counties, about one
thousand licensed PRISONERS, who have, dur
ing the ten years past, killed oft, in their res.

Put these fellows in Roumania, and they'll
soon stop the plague, by leaving it nothing
to feed on.

SENATOR LAMAR is imbblng notions Of
royalty-is outgrowing the times in which
we live-is evidently put out" with the
exceeding simplicity Of our form of gov
ernment. Senator Lamar is Democrat,
an eloquent orator, and all that; but he can
find no justification in considerations of
that kind, for making an aristocratc ass Of
himself. He declares that every one of
our seventy-six Senator'S ought to have u
private secretary, and the government
onght to pay the secretaries. This is only
the first step, The next will BE- that every
Senator ought to have a mansion, his sta
bles Of elegant steeds, his barber and hair
dresser, and all the troop of lacqucys and
footmen that attend on royalty, The way
to prevent gradual approach to this ex-
IRENE, is to give to Senator Lamars score
tary bill such stamp of indignant disap-
proval that nobody else will have the har-
dihood to repeat his experiment

4 FEW Of the more savage Of the South
American Indians still pcrforate their
noses, ears and lips and suspend thereirom
tinkling metal or ivory ornaments, Indi-
ans who have made slight advance tow
ard civilization discard the nose and lip
ornaments, and, like American ladies, sus-
pend metal and bone ornaments from their
ears, fastened in holes bored through the
flesh and hoop their wrists with metal
bracelets. That our ladies do not wear
bells and balls suspended from their noses
may, or may not be chargeablc to the fact
that such adornments have been discarded
| by the better classes IF savages. Concern.

Afghan extremes in that direction, is be-
cause we have not, here and there in our
best society, a "sprinkling" of Afghan
female beauties. The hair o. these beau.
ties is Of "gloriou, blue-black," worn in
various forms, and plastered stiff with gums
that it may retain the shape the artist gives
it. The margins Of the ears are pierced

and decorated with small silver rings
large gold rings hanging from the
lobes. The eyes are very dark
and are made to sparkle by coating OF
black antimony on the lids. The cheeks
are rouged and are dotted with little round

and its clusters of cooling, pleasant fruit
need no advocate. The grape vine is one
of the most uncomplaining, unfIstidiou,
and care rewartlIng Of plants. Keep stand
ing water away from its feet, give it some
thing to eat to make stems, leaves and fruit
of, with some sunlight for part of the day,
and it will go to work and keep at it, as
long as you live. No food suits it better
than lot of bones, coarsey or finely

bride from one of his western trips
She had died soon after the birth of thus
daughter, and he had been apparently
too busy to ever marry again. Perhaps
this press of business was why no had
never called when she was home Ii
was strange, she used to think, that he
never did, but late years she had ceased
to expect him.
The next afternoon as she was writing
letter in the little parior which was
always given up 10 her in the home
comings, the gay Jingle of sleigh bells
in the yard attracted her attention.
Clara had come again, and her father
accompanied her. To Miss Vesta's sur
prise, he was ushered into her cozy
apartment and grasped her hand with
friendly manner. He seemed intent
on some GRAND, yet spoke of the wea-
Their, che long time since they had met
and the suddenness of her mothers re-
cent death. At length his tone changed,
and he began
'My Clara made acquaintance with
you last evening, she tells me, and
copied an old valentine you showed
her. l have called to inquirc-that is,
would like to ask if you will let me
see it myself
Miss Vesta besitated. She hardly
knew how she came to show it to the
girIs-really-she-'
q would not ask to see it, Miss Grid
ley, if did not think had a rigbt-if
l did not believe it was in my own
handwriting
Covered with confusion, the little
chest, which still remained by her, was
re-opened, and the l. epistle was
handed him.
Just rs expected! Remember it
perfectly well. Had some trouble with
the sesling-wax. 1 won't look inside,
as l don't need TO. l only wanted to
satisfy myself as to the genuineness Of
the document. And SO you didn't think
it was from me, chr
The post-mark-is-'
yes, yes! What precious fool | was.
Walked miles one clustering day to get
it mailed out Of town. Afraid our post
master would laugh at me! And cut my
hoad off by the operation! OF course
y
Il must confess did, blushed Miss
Vesta. Oh, the modification that rush ed
over her that she had supposed herself
tho object of a mans affections who had
never given her reason to thus presume,
And if she had only known at the time
that it was John!
'Vesta, said he, Il was green boy
when this was written,-I may not be
much else now, but will put this matter
into more straightforward shape, at
least, than dared do them And,
taking up the pen which she had laid
aside at his entrance, he wrote beneath
the lines, 'Tis !, John J. Dexter" with
all the flourish to be found on his bank
bills.
There, Vesta,' said he, returning it
to her hands, this paper may be some
what worn and stricken in years-as
perhaps you and are-but the record
stands as plain to-day as the day it was
written. Even palmer he added, point
ing to his iresh-ink signature. Il sup
