Deafness and Noises 1n the EHoad.

Catarrh is of the most frequent causes of deaf ness Scarcely any afflicted with this disease for my length of time retains normal acuteness of hear ing. With the hearing suffers at first only by spells the becoming obstructed with each ion of cold but the spells of deafness ofener and last longer until at length the hearing remains per manently impaired. In others the hearing grows in distinct without the appearance of any premonitory symptoms, the deafness increasing gradually until all useful hearing is lost. Noises in the head of every conceivable description often make their appearance and add materially to the existing distress.

This is good year for dark horses and the striking of nominating lightning. Judge Porter, first controller of the Treasury, who was nominated for Governor by the Indiana Republicans, had not been a candidate for the nomination, and in selecting him the conven- ton put aside the claims of General Streight, who had sought the place with much anxiety. The day before the convention Judge Porter received dispatch from friend inquiring whether he would accept the nomination, to which he sent the following reply: q am not a candidate for the nomination, and I prefer that the nomination fall upon another.

 the unity and harmony of the Republican party I'll make the race.'' He was surprised while attending to his duties in the Treasury department at receiving a dispatch announc- ing his nomination He will at once tender his resignation, to take effect August 1, and go to Indiana to take part in the campaign. Judge Porter was appointed controller in March, 1878. He was member of, the
 Thirty sixth and Thirty -sepenth Congresses, and is well known all over the State of Indi-

Men may err, but Christianity can
not. A phase of this mistake which
men make is that they confound one or
more men with the religion they profess.
They condemn the Master and His
household for the misconduct of the
servant. They estimate the capacity
of the Creator by the weakness of the
creature. They catch in hand the spray
of Niagara, then shout to the world that
they have baffied the power of the great
falls. Still the comparisons weak, and
God is not so jostled on His throne of
eternal truth, justice and purity by the
misconduct of man as is the mighty
cataract diverted from its mission by
the clutching away of handful of its
mist. See God in that which makes
nightly for mans good; but do not
think to measure God with the tape-line
which tests the stature of man.-M. W.

THANKSGIVING is good, thanks living

HABIT which is the power by which
evil rules us, is only strong in a vacant
life.
THERE cannot be earnest prayer with
out some amount of faith. He that
cometh to God, must believe that He
is, and that He is rewarder of them
that diligently seek Him"
How BEAUTIFULLY it is ordered that
as many thousands work for one, so
must every individual bring his labor
to make the whole! The highest is not
to despise the lowest, nor the lowest to
envy the highest; each must live in all
and by all. Who will not work, neither
shall he eat. So God has ordered that
men, being in need of each other, should
learn to love each other, and bear each
others burdens.--G. d. SGIG.
A MISSIONARIES goods lay upon the
wharf in a heather land; they could not
be removed for several hours; he asked
a bystander where he could find q man
to watch his things. The heather re-
piled, your goods are perfectly safe, as
there is not a Christian within twenty
miles of here. That man got his idea
of Christianity from profane and drunk
en- sailors, and not from missionaries,
who are the best of men. Thus many
OF the false notions about religion come
from intercourse with the few bad men
who profess religion, and not from the
great majority of righteous men and
women.
1t often happens that a hidden grief
or purely personal trouble is permitted
to canker and corrode suffering soul,
when, if it were confded to some SYM
pathetic and helpful friend, its destruc-
tiveness would be greatly mitigated or
wholly taken away. Nor is all this in
jury, from lack of sympathy, to be laid
to the charge of those who do not seek
out the sufferer and tender him words
of cheer. A great deal of silently-en-
dured sorrow, which eats away the
courage and the joy of the distressed
one, is distinctly the fault of the suf-
ferer himself. We have no right to
feel that no one cares for us or for our
troubles, until we have put such a feel
ing to some practical test. Nor have
we any business to conclude that be-
cause people do not perceive and seek
out that which we are doing our best
to hide from them, they are, therefore,
cruelty Indifferent to our welfare.
Many man and woman goes in lonely

A Surprised Sexton.

Last Saturday night an incident &C.
CURED in certain church on Penn
Avenue, East End, that was decidedly
exciting and unpleasant for the sexton,
and perhaps will be for the congrega-
ton. Upon opening the church Satur-
day night for the purpose of putting
things in proper shape for the service
yesterday, he saw something that re-
sembled cat fit across the floor in front
OF him. Without thinking he closed
the door so that the intruder could not
escape. There's where he made mis-
take, but he was determined that the
identity of the strengthening creature
should be known to him if for nothing
but personal curiosity, and subsequent
events furnished another illustration of
how peoples curiosity sometimes leads
them into trouble. Selling a broom
that was standing in corner, it being
the only available weapon at the time,
he walked about cautiously until the
object was spied crouched under one of
the seats. He struck at it with the
formidable weapon, but he missed the
creature and it ran to another part of
the room. He followed with alacrity
and struck out with the broom viciously;
but the thing was too quick for him and
lodged about to another part of the
room. A third time did the sexton re-
new the assault, and it would have been
better for him if he hadn't done so, for
in minute or so the atmosphere in the
room became so unpleasant to his olfac-
tory organs that he was as active in
getting out into the fresh air as he was
in doing battle. Subsequent develop
ments reveal the fact that the strange
object was skunk that had got into
the room nobody knows how. There
are animals that will show fight when
attacked, and this cat seems to belong
to that class. The sexton, no doubt, is
firmly of the belief thath was fighting
against bigger odds than he anticipated
at the start. The broom did the mis-
chief. The incident was kept very quiet,
and an effort was made not to have it
spread, but it leaked out and Dispatch
reporter got it.-Pits6a4rg Dispatch.

Soon after each round the doctor has to
sop up their faces with a sponge. The
standing by drink beer and eat
bread and sausage. They get SO
tired that after each round they lean
down or sink into chairs, their right
arms being still held out. They slash
so fearfully hard that their swords strike

only see the face of the big man; its
ugliness surpasses any thing have ever
seem his big lips open, the lower one
purple, very bloated, and hanging; the
nose swollen and bloated; the face dull
red color, save where it was streaked
with the dark red blood. His eyes were
goggly, staring, and bloodshot, and his
hair had been brought over his fore
head to stick together the gashes. With
such face he stood limp against chair,
with dropping shoulders, slouching fig
ure, and blood dropping all about him,
from the matted hair to the blood-drip-
ping nose, the streaming mouth, and the
red shirt. At last the little man gave
the other what they call deep cut on
the forehead, and the end is announced;
the small fellow was beaten, for he was
too weak to 60 on. | now for the first
time see his face; never saw any thing
so dreadful. Supported by some stu
dents, he hobbled off, more than half
his face literally one sheet of blood; the
mustache crimson, the black hair raised,
the collar and breastplate covered with
wet and half CONCEALED blood, and I'M
derneath the remains of former contests.
AS he walked off l felt such disgust as
never remembered feeling before. But
1 am glad to have seen this dueling.

Quiet, Earnest Service.

CONSPICUOUS leaders seem to be
growing more rare. Our Poet-laureate
laments.
The individual withers, and the world is
more and more"
and Wadsworth sings, positively,
'Great men have been among us;
Hands that penned and tongues that uttered
wisdom better none;'
and signing for dead genius he cries,
Milton, thou shouldst be living at this hour;
England hath need for thee
1t may seem so to some, and yet,
probably, the need is rather for useful,
humble, quiet work. Look upon the
green fields of England. Whence
comes their fertility and garden-like
beauty 1t is thousand years that is
seen in these fields and meadows. 1t
is the fruitfulness that comes after gen
erations of tillage that we reap every
autumn. But it is not to conspicuous
men we are indebted in the main for
this. Who first banked out the tide?
Who first drove the plowshare through
the barren soil? Who first cleared the
forest and leyeled the roadsP Who has
kept up the continuity of culture?
Celt, Roman, Saxon, Dane, English
man-they are gone and their names
have persisted with them, and their
graves we know not, yet their work
abides. 1t is there to-day in the grassy
mead and cornfield verdant with
promise, and orchard gay every spring
time with snowy and purple blossom,
and in all the varied advantages of cul-
tured soil. So it is, too, in our
common arts, in the laws by
which we speak, and the melo
dies that thrill our souls, dead and
forgotten generation aids us and blesses
us. and makes our life happier, freer,
grander, though we know them not.
Why sigh, then, for conspicuous service
and placer We can not all catch and
command the attention of the world,
need not desire to do so. Gods eve is
upon us all. He sees us, and he is not
unrighteous to forget our work of faith
and love which we show toward His
name. Do your daily duty in His fear
Seek out and save the perishing. Bless
the world around you. Care not if
man disregard you; God remembers all
who fear Him. He rewards us not ac-
cording to our distinctions, our fame,
or even our success, but according to
our work. Eternity makes all right,
redeems the inequality, and rights the
wrongs of time. Care not for waving
banners on the hilltop if God opens a
path of homely, quiet usefulness. Be-
sides, in true Christian service we fol-
low unseen leadership. Banner-men
are but exceptionally needed. The
Captain is always with us, but we see
Him not. 1t is thus what the world
calls soldiers battle we are to fight.
Human generalship is not required so
much as that each should fight with the
eye fixed on Him whom the world hath
not seen nor can see.-Rev. Thomas
GoGdby.

German Students DueIs.

TO-DAY, says correspondent of the
London Times, writing from Halle, l
have seen vivisection; but it was volun-
tary vivisection--I mean some German
students fighting duels and making
butchers meat of each others faces.
One of our friends came in at seven
O'Clock and said that three droskies full
of corps students had gone off in the
morning, so we finished our coffee as
soon as possible, and walked off to the
Restauration-place, where this noble and
gallant sport goes on. We went into a
beer garden, in which was a shed fused
for music). Groups of students and
other men and boys were seated about
under the trees at tables; the students
OF the fighting corps, known by their
little colored caps, were in the house or
sauntering about, for there had been
one duel, and the faces were being
sewed up. Presently a crowd walked
out of the house, and every one ran to
the shed and looked in. The combat
ants were not corps students, and there
fore not such practiced hands. They
came forward, bandaged up, with
great ugly shields over their bodies,
spectacles over their eyes, and the right
arm twice the natural size, by reason of
the wrappings. They looked extremely
uncomfortable, pale and trembling.
The students hold up their right arm be-
fore starting, for they may never lower
them below the shoulder. Every thing
is now ready. A couple of seconds
stand behind and hold their swords.
"On guard" 'Let loose!" They be-
gin to slash. They fight very badly,
slashing at one another as hard as they
can; the swords are old, hacked, soft
iron things. After some four strokes
''Halt'' is cried. Blood is drawn;
then they go at it again, after
every four or five hits fresh
blood being drawn, and the
swords being Strengthened afresh. So
they go on, and the spectacle gets more
and more horrible. The blood at first
comes trickling down the face on to the
collar, great hairy thing, which soon
becomes sopping; then it falls on the
shirt, the breast of which becomes also
sopping. On and on they go, getting
very nervously excited, so that one man
can scarcely gulp in the water which
they give him wherewith to wash his
mouth. There are hundred or more
spectators, among whom are two or
three women and little girl and boy.
A lot of corps students stand round
with ugly, scanned faces. One tall,
small-headed fellow, with face covered
with scars, keeps the time. At last it is
decided that they have fought enough,
and they go out; but there are five more
to follow, so we stop for another bout.
This time they are two corps students,
practiced fighters with red, the
other with a green cap. They have
never known one another, but they soon
get worked up into frenzy. This duel
is even more horrible than the last. One
of the combatants is big, vulgar-look-
ing fellow, his face already hastily scar
red. The other little lame man with
a fair-sized mustache. These slash
away some dozen times before they hit.
1t is announced that the duel is to last
thirty minutes, unless bad hit is made.
Again few small cuts come first, and
then more and more. The big man has
his hip cut again, and his forehead and

Magistrates of Leipzig and Berlin have

ties for the offence. 1t is believed that
the other university towns of Germany
will concur in these measures, and that
the practice will soon be stamped out.
