Medical Evidence.

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Dwight died short time back with
heavy insurance upon his lie. The
Offices involved have had the body ex-
humed to have re-exsmination into
the causes of his death. A journal,
touching on this subject, truly observes
that recent appearances of the medical
profession in public have rot been such
az to impress the people with any great
respect for the de6niteness of medical
science or the accuracy OF medical art,
and those who call upon doctors from
time to time to come in and help them
out of trouble, will not find great COM
fort in the story of Mr.. Dwight. who in
lie and death has passed through the
hands of at least dozen doctors and the
cause of whose taking on is yet SO un~
certein that one argues ne is hanged and
another that he had fatal chill, Yet
those were famous doctors, more or less,
not obscure quscks, such as come up
occasionally on trials in the rural dis
tricts. One was for years health officer

"Reminiscences of a Gambler.

John Watts, who died in Philadelphia
last week, was in his day one of the most
noted gamblers who made their trade
notorious on the Mississippi river. Al
though he professed to be "a man of
honor" he was by no means OF tie very
best morals, and he did not object to
take ADVANTAGE OF his fellow-man. For
instance: With his friends and accom-
pIice he would board boat at Louis
vile, and, scam ng the passenger-list,
pick out for his victims some old cards
PLAYERS Of wealth with whom he was per-
sonaIly acquainted. To these people ne
would 90 very quietly and say OF his
sccomplice, "There is man who plays
bigh, and we can beat him; you join
with me and we'll do it." The victim
agreed, the party was made up, but
Watts always succeeded in regulating
success the wrong way for his victim,
and thus the would-be-biteT was often
bitten. Once be was accused of swind"
ling in that way, the chsTge being made
in the hest OF the play by man from
whom Watts sccomplice had just Won
ten thousand dollars. Is that your
opinion ?" he quietly asked. Yes, sir
that's what l think" roared the loser ;
.'you swindled noe, and l stigmatize you
az 8 scoundrel.' The hour was late,
and only the Waterman and the party
engaged in playing heard the charge ;
but all of them drew back and held
their breath, for they were sure "Jack''
would take life to wipe out the insult.
1t is said that he had done that thing.
81 will give you five thousand dollars
right here if you win not make that
opinion any further public . said Watts
drawing forth his pocket-book. No,
sir, do not want the money; you can
not buy my silence with money" Then
Watts smiled in bis wicked way and held
pistol in one hand and the money il
the ether, and said quietly as before
{" My friend, for the suppression of your
opinion 1 offered you five thousand dol
lars. You refused. Now offer you
that amount of money and your liz
Do you accept" The man looked int
Jacks cold, steel-grsy eye, and what hi
road there was convincing. He tool
the money and his lie and kept silent

The Waters of Niagara.

The amount Of water passing over
Nisgara falls has been estimated at 10O,-
900, 600 tons per hour, and its perpen>
diculsr descent msy be taken at $50
feet, without considering the rapids,
which represent further fall of $50
feet. The force represented by the prin.
cipal alone amounts to $780, 600 horse
power, an amount which if it had to De
produced by steam would necessitste an
expenditure of not less than 266, 1000, 900
tons of coal per snnum, taking the con-
sumption OF coal at four pounds per

all the coal raised throughout the world
would barely suffice to produce the
amount of power that annually runs to
waste st this wonderful fall.

feet high, eighteen inches thick at the
top, and two and one-half feet at the
bottom. 1t runs northeast and south
west, and is situated at the lower end of
a slight elevation. which sscends grad
ually. The position of the wall and its
environments precludes the idea that it
could have been buried under the accu-
mutation of sands conveyed by the rains
from above. Tho stones of which the
wall are composed are of common white
linty quartz. They are irregularly
shaped, but as fiat and smooth ss if de-

no affinity with the soil which lately en-
closed the wall, and nothing similar in

sandstone, requiring both grub-hoe and

gold being found in the rock, further
search was not prosected. Professor
Campbell, of Lexington, who has not
seen the wall, but from the accounts of
it which he has read, thinks it one of the
geological dikes Common in some places)
and not the work of man. But on the
other hand, gentleman OF great intelli-
gence, including some geological acquire
ments, who has made thorough exsmi-

as an examination of the component

We Can Spare Some, Too.
New Orleans Times


The exodus fever, which has abated
in the country, has made its appearance
in this city. About seventy-fve negroes
left for Kansas on Saturday. There is
no good reason why all the colored peo-
pie of this city who want to 60 to Kan
sas should not go. They can very veil
be spared. Many of them are shiftless
and worthless, and the more OF. them
who go west the better it viii be for the
CITY. They won't find Kansas good
place for loafng, however. They will
have to work hard or starve. Perhaps
the change will be sgood thing for them.
There is no question but that their
absence viii be good thing for the city.
Thew would find It much more to their
advantage, heweyer, If they would move
ont on tho plantations and 60 to work.
The chances Of improving their condi-
ticn in any of the parishes OF Louisians
| is much better than it is in Kansas.

dives army. General Loring, now in
his sixty-frst year has been a soldier for
forty-two years, and has fought in six
wars. He comes of. an old southern
family, and was in the confederate army
during the late rebellion. He was the
first man to take q body of mounted
cavalry across the Rocky mountains.
For ten years he has held the rank Of
Ferdik Pasha, the highest military rank
in Egypt, next to that Of the khedive.
General Loring left Egypt in April last,
and since that time has been revisiting
continental capitals. he has now come
home to settle down and end mis- days in

Kerosene Oil n Cure for D1s.a-

1t has ragged here to a fatal extent, quite a

self by the use of kerosene oil as a gargle
swallowing some but the remedy was so
simple that our citizens didn't think anything
of it until five OF Joseph Jelley's children
were taken down with the diphtheria.
Their throats became swollen and canke:ed
terribly. Mrs Jelly sent after her neighbor,
Mrs. Milliette, who had lately lost son by
the disease, to ascertain whether it was real
ly diphtheria or not. Mrs. Milliette pro-
nounced it diphtheria in very dangerous
form. Mrs. Jelley said she woul'l use Mrs.
Lights remedy-kerosene oil-which she
gave her children as a gargle also had them
swallow some. The children recovered rap
idly, and in a few days were out on the
street.
Another neighbor by the name of Lusia,
railroad trackmaster at this place, had three
children taken with diphtheria, and cured
them with kerosene oil.
William Emery had four children taken
down. and gave kerosene oil, and they all
recovered.
Robert Gillette was taken with it, and
cured himself with kerosene oil.
John Beynolds, of Ingraham, had daugh-
ter and niece cured by kerosene oil after
they were given up for death by the doctor.
What is most astonishing is that not a
single case, where they used kerosene oil,
has pro, ed fatal. The remedy is simple and
certainly cheap, and always at hand in all
families throughout the land.
Also, George Gillette had three children
taken with the same disease very bad, and
they were cured with kerosene.
