Mental Cures Of Physical Dis
ease.

The American young lady who be-
lieved that she had got bristle of her
toothbrush fixed in her throat got worse,
though there was no bristle there, till
she was persuaded by her physicians
ruse that be had extracted it, after
which she recovered rapidly. On the
other hand, there are well-attested cases
in which mere fright, directed to the ex-
pected suffering of diseased part, has
caused powerful but salutary revolution
in the condition Of the diseased organ.
DIR. Carpenter, if we mistake not, in his
Mental Philosophy" gives a case of the
complete absorption of some very dan
gerous tumor in very few hours under
the influence OF mere terror at the
prospect Of the pain Of the surgical op-
oration-it was before the days Of chlor-
oform-which had been determined on
TO remove it, Here was o case where
attention, and attention of no hopeful
kind, produced the very opposite effect
that which, in the American young
iady's case, attention of the respondent
kind had produced tho very effect, in
deed, which a remission Of attention,
when unaccompanied by the hope of
cure, had in that case produced. Lon

The Saltwater Lumberman relates
that bold, bad burglar broke into the
house of an editor, in the still watches
OF the night The editor awakened and
questioned the intruder "What do you
want here9 What look you forP Said
the burglar, grufiy; "Money." "Hold
on q minute" quoth the editor, "and [
will help you; I've been looking myself
for ten years, but perhaps tn, two of us
may have better luck" Then was the
burgler much disgusted, but the editor
called it joke, and insisted that the
burglar ought TO set 'em up.

Ninety-Two Rooms, but No
Peace.

~
Poor people should read this little ex-
tract + ON an Eastern paper "Ex-Gov.
SDrague's mansion at Canonchet con-
tains ninety-two rooms" There was
plenty of room in the great house for
dozen large families, but there was not
room enough for happiness, Silken
;ouchos, Administer carpets, works Of
rare art, paintings and books, soft raj
ment and rich food and wines, contain
no specific through which happiness can
be secured. There was no bed downy
enough to bring peace to the sleepers,
and Fate, as though in irony, lavished
all the outward signs Of comfort and
luxury upon this pair, as if to say
"See how miserable can make you. I
will cause even those things which men
and women hold as blessings to become
instruments OF torture to you. See,
you have honorable names, youth, rare
accomplishments; the world envies as it
considers you, and yet | will make you
so wretched that you will envy the
humblest living husband and wife in
the land their happiness" Governor
Sprague and his wife had never learned
discipline. When they were married
they each thought that to command the
worlds comforts and the worlds ap.
plausc was their right. Then riches
took wings and flew away, and ugly
skeletons began to ceeep into the luxuri,
GUS chambers and haunt them. The
man was not strong, and so took to
drink, and the woman, having married
simply for the wealth which she believed
her husband possessed, was as good as
divorced when that wealth was taken
away. Had she married some good NAH
because of the love she bore him, the
shock of misfortune might have aroused
her and made her very queen AS it
was, she felt from the first that there
was not material enough in her husband
to be worth struggle, and so she
hoated on with the tide. The story has
drifted into scandal, and the world
gloats over its disclosures. Under the
scandal, however, there is tragedy
which is not noticed The hopes of
man and woman have been killed,
and looking down on that ruin the wom-
ans heart, at least, has become be-
numbed, and everything which may
happen now seems hardly worth the ef-
fort of considering. The lesson which
all this should teach ought to be plain.
The youth of the country should be
taught the discipline which is necessary
to sustain person in misfortune; the
young women Of the country should see
in the development Of this case that
when a woman marries man simply
because he is rich, she not only receives
no guarantee Of happiness, but runs
serious risk of placing herself in the po-
sition of such despair that she may
grow Indifferent as to what the world
may say and finally, to men and WON
en- alike, the fact should com, with re-
newed force, that marriage Of conve,
nionce is simply a form of iegalized
prostitution, which, when borne for q
title while, has simply tendency to
make the participants, in their remorse
and loss of se!f-respect, ready to look
without emotion of se1freproach upon
anything which their passions may sug,

"Why do guns burstl asks contem-
Porary, and then devotes nearly a column
to answering the question. Guns burst,
says the St. Louis Post, because powder
is put into them You might use gun

given by the palefaces to several red

He could die without flinching, but a
spoonful of mustard was something
which even his heroic soul could not
endure; SO he wepl profusely, even as
whitemen sometimes do. The chief,
who sat opposite, asked why he cried.
He naturally replied that he was think

death. A few minutes after, the chief
himself fell upon the mustard pot, and
swallowed more than was necessary.
The tears came into his eyes, too. A
thousand tomahawks were nothing, but
the pungent quality OF the mustard
made him weep like child. And why

A New ana Useful Invention.


William Woodward, who has the
restaurant at 407 King street, has in
vented refrigerator for keeping oys-
ters and he claims that it excels any
thing of the kind ever invented. The
invention consists of glass case inside
of which are the bivalves, as cool
as December, and constantly kept
so by the ice contained in a
walnut case over them. 1t has
been impossible to keep oysters during
the warm weather, but by this inven-
tion there is no difficulty in the least in
keeping the oysters properly during the
summer. Mr.. Woodward would have
his friends call and inspect this useful

Did She beat,


| see by "Every Evening" that was
handed to me to day, an article that
were it truthful and we the least at
fault, | would not reply to. The very
first statement that we were doing our
level best, how could that have
been when we had but 40
pounds Of steam, and that we
were forcing the "Republic" in shoal
water is false as she was ! ! mile to
westward of the Dan Baker buoy, and
the force on either by intent or an ac-
cident.. The truth is she was hugging
us very close as she wanted to draw
our suction-not having sense
enough to know that sne was the
larger boat and twice the power
of the "Sylvester"-and it was her
strong suction that drew us together.
And they speak of the racing coming
up. Now we do not call it race; the
idea of "Sylvester" beating the ere
public" that was built to make 20
miles an hour with Sc inch cylinder
and the "Sylvester" only A inch.
The "Republic" ought to sail around
US. But can she? Or has she?
| have the evidence of two of the
leading river pilots that will make a
statement of which boat was crowding
the other.
| send you the facts and if you want
proof of the "Republic's" unfairness
can send you a statement of number
of the leading pilots, disinterested men,
as we always have three or four travel.
ing with us and to-day we have ten of
them.

you want any facts | will send them to
you. Yours respectfully,
