The Cancer Hospital, at Aurora, Ill.

DR.. F. L. Ponds hospital in this city, the
largest institution I'm the United States, es-
pecially devoted to the treatment of this
particular disease, is full of patients from all
over the Union. These patients. both male
and female, are Of ali ages and conditions,
and afflicted with every imaginary form Of
this frightful disease in all its stages-but
visit to the hospital, the other day, convinced
US that all Of these sufferers have Implicit faith
in the skill OF DR.. Pond. and those whose
cases are most critical only regret that they
had not availed themselves OF his services be-
fore suffering years Of worse than useless
treatment i'll other hands. The most perfect
system, good order and neatness is apparent
everywhere: the Doctor makes it point to
personally look after the care and comfort OF
each patient, and the smile of gratitude with
which he is welcomed in every room is evil
dence tnat his efforts in thei. behalf are duly
appreciated. Each succeeding visit to the
Aurora Cancer Hospital more fully impresscs
US in the belief that it is the most admirably
conducted institution Of the kind in the
country, and that its energetic and skillful
proprietor is doing acknowledgements
work in the relief and cure of persons afflicted
in this direction.
The hospital is full of patients-arrivals
and departures being of almost daily occur
renee. At the hospital, his powerful electro
galvanic battery is in excellent working order,
and frequently proves of inestimable value in
the removal Of monster tumors without draw
ing blood, and the performance Of other diff
cult and dangerous operations. Scrofula and
skin diseases Of all kinds are treated with sue

German Socialism.

From the earliest movement OF the
Socialists the Government endeavored
to the utmost to make its leaders their
own instruments. In 1847 q Socialist
still living was asked by the Govern
ment to write communistic articles for
popular journal, but declined to do so
under such auspices. Similar overtures,
though often repulsed, we're never dis
continued, and it is not more than 10
years-if indeed SO much-since the
Government which Prince Bismarck
controls or constitutes was paying, with
the enormous secret-service money of
Prussia, for the maintenance of journals
advocating identicslly the same doc
trines in which he cow reads direct
indictments to disobey the mandates of
the Supreme Being. Without such sup
port, given lavishly and with ill-kept
secrecy, the wild writings OF Sweitzer
could never have been set aflpat, and
hundreds of other communistic out
pourings would have died unnoticed
before a still uncertain public. But
Prince Bismarck, with splendid cunning,
saw from afar the inevitable outcome.
He saw that if the poorest and most un-
educated classes had Socialistic litera-
ture thrust continually upon them, they
would in time grow desperate in
their rage against all that capital
ist class whom they were taught to
regard as luxurious spendthrifts, en-
joying the pleasant idleness made
possible by the ceaseless, unrequited
labor of the poor. That rage would
soon be the terror of the classes imm e.
diately above the poorest of the small
er capitalists, the great middle-class
population. And not OF these only. 1t
would clearly be easy to persuade vast
majority of the whole population that a
terrible revolution was inevitably brew
ing; that they who declaimed against
the capitalists were bandits who meant
to plunder every one possessed of world
ly goods at all. Then there would arise
q cry for help against the new Red Ter
ror, and, in the general scare, who could
refuse the Government all support to
kill the grim apparition threatening
every peaceful home? Who could COM
plain of reaction or of tyranny if he saw
security from the immediate peril?
Events went Just as Prince Bismarck had
forseen; the people believed in the por-
trait he gave of the monster his own
hands had helped to shape, and even
the so-called Liberal Party gave him
support in his efforts to kill the thing
he had once SO providently called into
life. The two great apostles of Social
ism in Germany have been men of very
different type. Ferdinand Lassalle was
savant who became politician; Carl
siarx has changed from politician to
savant. Lassalle, intensely German,
aimed at fostering the spirit of nation
ality; Marx, a cosmopolitan, seeks to
destroy 1.-THE Nineteenth Century.

over white, are most becoming to the
hand.
Handkerchiefs with colored embroid-
cred borders are still popular. Dainty
fancy handkerchiefs are of delicate
shade of twilled silk, with rounded cor
ncrs, and edged with fine plating Of
narrow Valenciennes lace. About two
inches from the edge is an inserting OF
Valenciennes. These handkerehiefs are
very small, and purely ornamental.
For deep mourning, rutfies for neck
and sleeves should be of black crepe lisse,
with embroidered scallops on the edge
worked with black floss.
VARIETIES.
Belts are worn with nearly all cos
tunes. They are quite wide, and fasteu
in front with bow which is, on some,
almost as large as a sash bow; on Others
it is made of ribbon the width of the belt,
In combination costumes the material
employed As trimming should be used for
the belt. For wearing with wash dresses
some ladies prefer belts of black satin
made on 4 leather foundation, like the
velvet belts Of three summers ago.
1t is quite the rage to wear at the belt
a handsome bunch of flowers. The fa-
vorites are Jacqueminot roses, but the
flowers should harmonize with the dress.
Nothing is more uncomfortable on the
hands in hot weather than kid gloves.
Fashion allows mitts and long wristed
gloves of Lisle or silk. The wrists aud
sometimes the hands of these gloves are
open work. Some are fastened with but
tons, but the closed ones are preferred.

to compose an original and striking work
