Choosing a Doctor.

Detroit Lament: A contributor
sends the fojlosing notes on the
proper rules for choosing a doctor
Not new or original, but they are
worth bordering by every doctor
and patient:
Avoid a mean man, for you may
be sure he will be mean doctor,
just as certain as he would make 8
mean husband.
Avoid a dishonest man; he will
not be honest with you as your
physician.
Shun the doctor that you can
buy to help you out of scrape-a
good doctor cannot be bought.
Avoid the untidy, coarse, blum
dering fellow, for the man who is
clumsy in hitching up his horse
you may be sure is not handy at
nursing or surgery.
Avoid the doctor who fatters
you or humors your appetites.
Avoid the empty blow horn who
boasts of his numerous cases and
tells you of seeing forty or fifty pa
TENTS a day, while he spends two
hours to convince you of the fact.
Put him down as a fool.
To be a good doctor, one must
first be man in true sense of the
word.
He should be moral man, hon
est in his dealings.
He must have good sense or he
cannot be good doctor.
He must. be strictly temperate,
No one should trust their life in
the hands of an Incorporate doctor.
1t is a good sign if he tells you
how to keep well. q
1t is good sign if the members
of his own family respect him.

What Energy Will Do.


Nashville Banner: Fifteen years
ago a lad arrived in this city from
his native land, poor and penniless.
In order to make living, he com
menced his life here by picking up
rags AID old iron on the Streets
Following this pursuit for some
little time, and until he had put to
gether sufficient amount of money
to purchase a basket, and stock it
with oranges, he then commenced
the business of fruit peddler, and
con tinued in that pursuit until he
had acquired several hundred dol
lars, with which he established a
little notion store. After a while,
he added dry goods to his stock,
and, by and. by, trade commenced
growing, and he added to his sup
plies, until now he carries $4,000
in stock, and his sales average ST.
600 a day the year round. He is
now between 25 and 80 years of
age. Young men, here is an exam
pie for you. Energy and attention
to business will accomplish what he
has done.

A Baby in a Panther's Jaws.

Last Thursday evening about
dark, Mr.. and Mrs. George Camp
bell and Dick Mannon were sitting
on the porch of the Soda Springs
Hotel, at Soda Springs, on the Sac
ramento River, while Mr. CampbelPs
little boy, aged about three years,
was across the road about fifty or
sixty feet distant, amusing himself
by cutting bushes with a Ratchet.
Those on the porch were Mortified
by observing a panther spring upon
the child, and at the time supposed
that he was dangerously injured,
which would have been the case, no
doubt, had not the child screamed
and those on the poach shouted ex-
citedly, which prevented the pan
ther making deadly spring, as he
was evidently watching and fearing
the parties on the porch. AS it was
the panther seized the child by the
chin, one of the tusks of the upper
jaw cutting his lip, and one of the
lower jaws cutting his neck, while
the paw of the beast struck and
scratched him in the breast. The
shouting and rushing toward the
child by those on the porch caused
the panther to make tracks up the
mountain speedily, and after pick
ing up the child and examining the
wounds inflicted, Mannon1 returned
to the house for his gun, and, fol
lowing the panther up the noun
tain, soon dispatched it, hungry,
lean looking customer, measuring
five feet from tip to tip Yreka

hunter named Hosking built an eX-

him warm, and he kept a pilin' on
wood until his shanty was all

ran to his assistance, they saw
Hosking sitting in the middle OF
the flames a shiverin' and rubin
his hands as though he couldn't git
warm, and when the shanty was all
burned to ashes they found him in
the ruins a sittin' on hickory log

A Model Confession.

Several years ago in q western
town, a young lawyer, member Of
large church, got drunk. The
brethren said lie must confess. He
demurred. He knew the members
to be good people, but they had
their little faults, such as driving
sharp bargains, screwing the labor
er down to low wages, loaning money
at illegal rates, disappearing ar.
ticles they had for sale, etc. But
they were good people, and pressed
the lawyer to come before the
church-meeting and own up his sir
of taking a glass too much, for they
were temperance people and abhorr
ed lntemperance. The sinner final
ly went to the confession, found q
large gathering Of the brethren
and sisters, whose bowed heads
rose and whose eyes glistened with
pure delight as the lawyer began
his confession.
81 confess" said he shat l never
took ten per cent. for money" On
that confession went down a broth
er's head, with groan. 81 never
turned a poor man from my door
who needed food or shelter. -
Down went another head. 81 con
fess l never sold skim milk cheese
for a new one" Vhereupon a wo.
man shrieked for mercy. "But,
concluded the sinner, II have been
drunk and am very sorry for it"
Whereupon the meeting quietly
dispersed.

Jerusaleml what:;a Cat.

A few evenings ago Alvy Moody
was paying visit to his dulcinea.
She had struggled him into the
parlor, and the darkness only
served to conceal her bushes while
Alvy told the story of his love.
The muttered words reached the
parents ear, and coming suddenly
into the room he demanded tC
know of Mary who it was she had
with her.

bling reply.

"Alvy, new a little"
Alvy set up woeful yell.

This was too much and poor
Alvy made leap for the window,
carrying glass and frame with him.

the ruin after the light was brought.

Washington Sunday Chronicle

Washington Sunday Chronicle
Col. Burch, the new Secretary OF
the Senate, genial, affable gentle
man, bids fair to become very pop
ular-unless he falls into the too
popular error of promising more
than he can fulfil.- Every infor-
nation desired at his hands is free
ly given, and Senators, irrespective
of party, already make his private
office a rendezvous for confabula
ton. All of which adds new proof
to the acknowledged fact that an
accomplished Journalist can fill any
position of honor or profit. e /,
gracefully pocket the profit and
honor of the position. The star of
the journalist seems, very properly,
in the ascendant just now at the
Capitol. With Col. Burch as sec
rotary of the Senate, Mr.. Frank
Richardson, Mr.. Samuel Butler,
Mai Charles L. Flanagan, Ben.
Perley Poore, Mr.. Burke, Mr.. Nor
row, and others as clerks of impor-
tant committees, there is evidence
of good judgement. on the part of
the powers that be.

What is a Newspaper.

A newspaper is the chronicle Of
civilization--the common reservoir
into which every stream pours its
living waters, and at which every
man can come and drink. IL is the
newspaper that gives TO liberty its
practical life, itsconstant observation
its unrelaxing activity. The newspa-
Der informs the people OF the acts
of legislation; and this is not all.
The newspaper teens with the
most practical morality; in its re-
ports Of crime and punishments
you find daily warning against
temptations; not case in a court,
not single trial of wretched out
cast or a trembling felon. that does
not preach to us the awful lesson
how imprudence leads Co error, how
error conducts TO guilt, how guilt
reaps its bitter fruit of anguish and
degradation. The. newspaper is
the familiar bond that binds togeth
er man and man-no matter what
may be the distance or climate or
the difference of race. The news
paper is a law book for the indo
lent. a sermon for the thoughtless,
library for the poor. II may in
struct the most profound.

ny, but they never introduce gentle
men to their own households. This
is the rule in all Mohammedan
countries. The Persian Minister at
Constantinople occasionally gives
receptions at his house, which are
attended by Christian ladies. He
shows his guests the arrangements
of his harem, but its occupants are
carefully excluded from their gaze.
There is no court in the European
sense of the term. On ceremonial
occasions no women appear. The
Turks with whom / come in con-
tact in my official intercourse with
the Government, are men of fine ap-
pearance, dressed with scrupulous
care, very neat IN their persons and
exceedingly polite in their manners.
They talk in low pleasing tones.
Many of them speak French and a
few English.

MY LAND MUST SELL.

A lawyer left his Office last Saturday &c
march with the Odd Fellows and while alb
sent a preacher client stepped in and was
disappointed to find him absent and left the
following note:
You're gonel And here I've come to see
What on the airth you'd do for me.
Ny neighbors hogs break DER my fence,
And never will he call them thence.
Pm sued for debt, my land must sell,
1t seems as if the fends that fell
F-om heaven, had raised mighty shout,
Aud none can help but you and Stout.
And while ''your heart is in your hand
l do believe they'll sell my land.
And though that hand to heaven may point
All things with me are out Of joint,
While you crate of suffering sick
And urge your lodge to see them qoick,
Andspeak OF troubles here below,
What males you treat your clients sol
You plead the Brotherhood of God"
And ! his deem not very odd
But on the brotherhood of Men,"
venture now to raise my pen,
And say if truly this is so,
Then can hope my land won't go.
Ny neighbor'll keep his hogs away,
And I'll sing loudly "Happy Day"

New Postal Advantages.


The clause in the postoflce ap:
preparation bill which provides for
the double postal card, also provides
for a letter. sheet envelope, which is
to be stamped as envelopes are now
stamped, and a double letter enye-
lope. The double postal card is in
size similar to the present one cent
card. IL bears at either upper cor
ner a one cent stamp, and lines are
drawn sloping downward to each
lower corner, to be written upon.
The writer of the card uses the
right hand side, and the receiver
the left hand side for his reply. The
double letter envelope is stamped
twice the sender uses the right and
the receiver the left hand side in
writing the directions. At the back
of this envelope is double
gummed flap separated by a perfo5
rated line. The lower one is used for
sealing by the sender, and the re-
ceiver uses his knife along the per-
forated line and has a new gummed
flap ready for use. The sheet letter
envelope is designed TO do away with
outer envelopes. The postofilce de-
partment has nothing TO dowith hav
ing this clause inserted in the bill,
and there is no direct appropriation
in the bill for these postal novelties;
but it is provided that the appropria-
ton for postal cards and letter enyel-
opes for the year commencing June
80, 1879, and ending June 80, 1880,
shall be applicable for the purchase
of 'said letter envelopes, double or
return postal cards, and double let
ter envelopes, provided that no mon
ey shall be paid for royalty or pat
ent on any of the articles named.
The postofIlce department has not
yet decided whether these things
are worth having.

what Horace Maynard Says.

Horace Maynard says the climate
of Constantinople is almost the
same as Washington, and life there
is by no means disagreeable, al
though restricted socially. There
is no society in our meaning of the
term. With US society means the
association of the sexes, but in
Turkey you never see the wives OF
your friends, and it would be q
grave breach of good manners to
INQUIRE after their health. A Turk
makes no reference to his family,
no matter how intimate he may be
with you. Turkish gentlemen visit
the families of Christians know how
to behave politely in ladies compa'
