Obstreperous Zulus.


 The noble savage running wild in his woods, free as Nature first formed man, is no doubt very interesting object, especially to an observer who is not uncomfortably near But the noble savage obstructing the streets of Westminster, brandishingza knife there, getting into public house and refusing to get out of it. is as unpicturesque as he is out of place. Five noble savages, who are de- scribed as Zulus, and who do apparently come from some part of South Africa, have been thus disturbing quiet people in Vest minister. They were brought over, it is stat ed, for the purpose of public exhibition here, but the story goes that they declined to per form. What made it worse was that they ap- pear to have taken their money in advance, and then objected to fulfilling their part of the contract. There seems more of the civ ilized man, it must be owned, than of the savage in this unrighteous proceeding Draw ing one's pay and then drawing out of the business for which the pay was to be given does not appear an act worthy of an Oronoo- lSo or even of Bangs. One of these eminent Africans was good deal too sentimental, and the other was inexcusably vindictive; but the worst enemy of either would not have sus- pected him of pocketing a fair days wages without doing fair days work. One of the Zulus complained that he had too much dancing to do, and that it injured his health. Civilization, even a short expe- rience of it, would seem to have exercised a baleful influence on the bodily vigor as well as the moral principles of these poor Zulus. Can they really be of the chivalrous race of stout Cetewayo?

 Prepared to give his personal attention to the treatment and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and Diseases of the Throat, Lungs and Ner- vous System.
 For upward of twenty five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of those important ailments, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which attended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, rendering treat ment so effectual that relief is experienced at once, and permanent cures are often effected in the most stubborn and aggravated cases and it is one of the happy features of his practice that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily admin istered to the most tiInid or nervous person. A candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of cure, and no case will be accepted for treatment which does not pre- sent reasonable chance for success.
 In evidence of the success of his practice, Dr. Iighthin takes pleasure in submitting the testimonials mass of similar credentials may be seen at his office

Sapphire that weiabs a pound.

The London Telegraph says that''Berlin has just learned to it's astonishment and gratifca- tion, from report of the Polytechnic Socie- tvs latest meeting that within its walls re- poses treasure of almost fabulous value the very existence of which had been hither- to unsuspected. A member of the above named society is the enviable owner of the largest sapphire in the world-a stone weigh ing nearly 15 ounces. Pure sapphires of good color hold so high a rank in the gem market that, were this gigantic jewel of the first water, it would be worth no less a sum than $3, 100000 It is, however, not abso- lutely free from impurities, a fact which ma- terially diminishes its practical value, but enormous bids for it, made at different times by German Princes and wealthy mineralo- gists, have been invariably rejected by it's proprietor, who has constituted it an heir loom, and confded it, in deposit, to the GUS tody of the State judicial authorities. A sap- phire weighing nearly pound may fairly claim to rank as among the wonders of the world. It would be interesting to learn how so extraordinary gem came into the posses sion of the Prussian savant who exhibited it to the wonder-stricken gaze of his fellow Polytechnicians the other evening.

Curious Beast.

Among the most recent additions to the Geological Soeiety's collections in Regents Park is a Cape hunting dog, It is a queer beast, with shifty ways that give it an appear ance of irresolution and occasionally of crazy bewilderment, induced, no doubt, blythe con seriousness that it's features justify it's being looked upon as neither dog nor anything else, but something halfway toward the first hyena and about as far from the last wolf In Q wild state it is a creature of intense feroci- ty, and as active as it is fierce, sweeping in packs from province to province, ravaging the colonist's focks and hunting down the wild herds of the plains. Nothing is safe from it when at liberty, and in captivity it is said to be untamable. Probably, therefore, no other occupant of the societys gardens will find it's new life so miserably circum- scribed, so fiat and dull, as will this wild hyena- hound of Africa

From MT. Richard Case, of Canton,
 COnu.

For the past twenty years was afflicted with Catarrh which affected my throat to such an extent as to make my life misery. would wake up at night with sense of suf- location, as though some one was strangling me, expecting every moment to be my last. My suffering was so severe that was afraid to go to bed, and often did not dare to- Ten years ago my hearing became also impaired from the effects of catarrh and gradually grew so bad that of late it was quite difficult for me to hear. Two months ago placed myself under Dr. Lighthill's care, and there suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full The trouble in my throat is completely removed, sleep and breathe as comfortably as a baby, my hearing is restored, and my health has so much i'm proved that I feel like 8 new man. In fact such change for the better has been wrought in my case that thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing Dr. Lighthil to Hartford and for directing me to him. I am 64 years of age and have lived in Hartford county nearly all my life, and if the blessings and prayers of an old man are of any avail the happiness and pros perity of Dr. Lighthin is assured.

From the Rev. D. J. Clark.

Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. LighthilPs success in the cure of catarrh His treatment of my wife has proved so ben eicial that cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthil per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of a physi- elan so skllful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

On Vesuvius.

lCOrre5pOnQence BoStOn AQVertlGer.J
 An hour and a half of this interesting walking brings us to the top where we halt moment to look into the crater, thinking that this is the end of our journey, but the guide beckons us over, and, following him down the side of the crater, we soon find ourselves on level with the crusted lava which covers nearly the whole surface of the crater, about 150 or 200 feet below the top of the cone, and at the point where it broke down the wall of the latter in the eruption of 1872. This crusted lava of the crater is black, and looks much like slag from fur mace, but in this case it is extremely hot and smoking, and it requires great care in the era ter not to have the boots burnt of the clothes set on fire both of which accidents often happen. I walked out a considerable distance on the crust, which gave forth omi- nous hollow sounds in response to my foot steps and strokes from my stick. Here and there sudden puffs of steam would throw up sprays of molten lava and sprinkle people who happened to be near. One lady of my acquaintance thus had her umbrella burnt up, while gentleman had his clothing set on fire, another lost the soles of his boots by walking on the hot crust, and lady saw the crust slowly rise up just at her feet and the molten mass flow slowly over. Of course a nasty retreat is the thing in such cases. The molten mass flows to the surface at various points, and, dipping it up on my stick ems bedded number of copper coin in little masses of it. As I walked about in this hot atmosphere the conviction gradually dawned upon me that the crater of Vesuvius was hollow and deceptive mockery, and an excel lent place to get away from. It seems as if were literally standing over the jaws of per- dition and within single step of entering the seething realms of internal spirits, and as this conviction gained strength I turned to retrace my steps, and as I did so found an open seam about foot wide in the crust be- hind me, and as I was about to step over this, on looking downward, I saw the white hot mass, within about three feet of the sur face and directly beneath my feet. Iquickly regained the smoking ashes of the cone at the tious,

snoxv a Hundretl Feet Deep.

From the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise, May IA
 A gentleman recently arrived from Califor- mia, where he has been looking about among the mining towns, speaks of several places where the snow now lies to depth of over 100 feet. These places are generally at the heads of large canons At the head of Fall Creek. Nevada county pines and frs over 100 feet in height are so buried in snow that only few feet of their tops are to be seen Where a dark forest lies in summer there is now only to be seen white expanse of snow, with here and there what appear to be clumps of bushes, but which are really .the tops of the tallest pines.

From Col. ID. A. Rood, Proprietor Of the United States Hotel,
 Hartford, Conn.

Hartford, Feb. II, 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthill:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by 8 feeling of justic ice to you and sense of duty to the public, l take this method of expressing my grateful appreciation of the able and skillful manner in which you treated my wife for Catarrh. When placed her under your professional care she suffered so severely that she could scarcely obtain any rest at night, but your first application afforded decided relief and your subsequent treatment has proved per feet success. In the course of my experience have seen a good deal of physicians and medical practice, but must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet come under my ob- servation, and in fact is so rational and effec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

 Six years ago I became hard of hearing, and ever since then the difficulty increased so that it annoyed me very much, and obliged me to listen closely in order to get along In this condition I placed myself under the treatment and care of Dr. Lighthill, whosuc- oeeded in restoring me to perfect hearing, and thereby earned my lifelong gratitude.

 The London Echo is informed that it is not George Eliot but Mrs. G. H. Lewes, the legal widow of the deceased philosopher, who was recently married to MT. Cross. If this is so, the mistake in identity was an unfortu- nate one, for it has given rise to many news paper paragraphs which cannot be pleasant reading to the great novelist and her friends.

 i. The death of Chief Justice Church, of the New York Court of Appeals, may have an important bearing upon New York politics this year. An appointment by theGovernor to fill the vacancy will hold good only until the end of the year. Under the constitution @ chief justice must be elected next Novem- Der, and it will therefore be necessary for both parties to hold conventions in the fall and nominate candidates. Both parties have already nominated their electoral tickets, in order to avoid the necessity of fall conyen- tion. But conventions must now be held, and their action is likely to affect quite seriously, one way or another, the Presidential canvass.
