Of the Success of pr. Light hills Practiceein New
 Haven.
In the Treatment of Deafness, Catarrh and Diseases of the
 Throat and Lungs.
From MT. J. H. Mehaffey,

S67 Atwater Street.
 NEW HAVEN, August 20, 1880. = Permit me to add my, testimony of Dr. Lighthilrs skill and success to that of Mir. Cox and others, as have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of his
 successful efforts in my behalf. When &
 month ago I applied to him for relief was
 great sufferer A catarrh which had af-
 1icted me for some time past, recently be-
 came so aggravated that it impaired my hear
 ing and gave rise to such agonizing pain and
 distress in my head that it nearly drove me insane. In fact, such a result could scarcely have been otherwise if Dr. Lighthil had not afforded me such marvelously prompt relief. One treatment proved the efficacy of his method, for when left his office I was in condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief. That night rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like a new man. Ever since then a steady i'm provement has taken place in my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. Lighthill's skiliful management. The pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is restored and a troublesome cough, which se- riously alarmed my friends, is almost entire ly gone. My whole system, in fact has been so much benefited that all my acquaintances notice the favorable change. Like many oth- CTS, had spent much money and time in fruitless efforts to obtain relief before I ap- piled to Dr. Lighthill, and I can therefore recommend the doctor with the confidence of a long experience. I am an employe of the Boston and Air Line Railroad Company, and reside at 267 Atwater street, and will cheer fully suhstantiate in person what have here put in writing J. H. MEHAFFEY.

The Supply and Lack in B Buddhism.


 The power of Buddhism in China has been owing chiefly to its ability and offer to supply the lack of certainty in the popular notions respecting future state, and the nature of the gods who govern man and creation. Confucius uttered no speculations about those unseen things, and ancestral worship confined itself to a belief in the presence of the loved ones, whowere ready to accept the homage of their children That longing of the soul to know something of the life beyoud the grave, was measurably supplied by the teachings of Sakyanuni and his disciples, and, as was the case with Confucius, was Illustrated and en- forced by the earnest, virtuous love of their founder. Though the sect did not receive the imperial sanction till about A. D. 65, these teachings must have gradually grown ia miliar during the previous age. The con- fict of opinions which ere long arose between the definite practical maxims of the Confuc1an moraligts, and the vague speculat1ons, well-de- fined good work and hopeful though improved promises of future well-being set forth by the Hindoo m dictionaries, has continued ever since. If ia an ins tructive chapterin human experi- ence. and affords another illustration of the irnnossibiIity of mans answering Jobs great question, s.But how shall man be just with God ?'' Early sages opened no outlook into the blank future, offered no hopes of life, love. happiness or reunion with the friends cone before and their disciples necessarily fell hack into helpless fataism. Buddhism said, Keep my ten commandments, uVe n1e or celibacy and contemplation pray, fast and give aims, and according to your works you will become pure, and be rewarded in the serene nirvana to which all life tends" But the Buddhist priesthood had no system of schools to teach their peculiar tenets, and, as there is only one set of books taught in the com mon schools, the elevating precept of the sages brought forth their proper fruit in the tender mind. Poverty, idleness, and vows made by parents in the day of diversity to dedicate son or daughter to the lifelong service of Buddha, still supply that priesthood with most of its members. The majority are unable to understand their own theological literature, and far more is known about it's peculiar tenets in Europe than among the mass of the Chinese The Confucianist, in his pride of office and learning, may ridicule their mem ories but in his hour of weakness, pain and death he turns to them for help, for he has nowhere else to go. Both are ignorant of the life and light revealed in the gospels, and cry out, 'eWho will show us any good ?,

From the Rev. ID. 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. Lighthi1l's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben eficial 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. Lighthin 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 phy- sician so skillful as Dr. Lghthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

lish has been accumulating millions by the
perfectly legitimate, but among Democrats
of Indiana intensely odiOus occupation
of lending money 'and fOreclOsing mort
cages. Next to bankers and usurers'"
the "bloated bondhOlders" and "cOu-
"pon clippers have been most hateful
to the Indiana Democrats, but MIR.
English has been bondhOlder and coupon
clipper during all these years while the Dem
ocrats of Indiana have been launching their
fiercest denunciatiOns at that class OF persons
And this is the candidate upon whom the
party now relies for success in Indiana.
1t would not be surprising, under the cir
cumstances, if the Greenback ticket in lndi-
ana should draw off large Democratic vote
Mr. De La Matyr, the leader o. that party,
expresses without reserve his hostility to the
nominations made by the Democrats, and his
belief that they will be defeated. But IL
there should be no third ticket, it does not
seem possible for the Democrats to obtain
majority in such State and under
such circumstances. Even in a clean division
between the Republican and Democratic
parties the disgust of Democratic voters
with their own candidates must prove fatal.
The fact is that Mr.. English was nominated
solely because he was rich, and 1t was
hoped that he would furnish money
for the campaign. But the painful report
is now circulated that he is as close as he
is rich, and is not a man who can be squeezed
to any important extent. If this is true, the
only reason for his nomination fails, but his
personal unpopularity, and exceeding inap-
propriateness as candidate for sOft-money,

MR.. HERBERT SPENCERS MESS1GE TO
AMERICA


AMERICA
Eleven years ago Mr.. Herbert Spencer
wrote q letter on the causes of the un-
friendly feeling between England and the
United States during the war of the rebellion,
and sent it to Professor Z. l.. YOumans, of
this city, for publication in America. BY the
counsel of friends in this country, the letter
was Withdrawn, after 1t had been put
in type; but Mr.. Spencer has never
felt satisfied, and at last insists on
being heard. His letter accordingly appears In
THE TRIBUNE this morning. The distinguished
w.iter believes that Americans have utterly
misconceived the feeling with which Great
Britain regarded the struggle between North
and South at the beginning aud the cause Of
the unfriendly sentiment toward this Govern
nent which came to prevail in England during
the later period of the war. Mr.. Spencer
quotes largely from all the principal London
newspapers, both Liberal and Tory, to sustain
his opinion. He shows that down to the month
of January, 1961-and there ere two citations
of even later date-the cause Of the South
was unanimously condemned in EnglandI and
he assures us that in his examination Of the
journals he did not find single expression Of
sympathy with the rebels during the period
In question.
aHow came all this to be changed n he asks
aWhat was the cause p And the answer
Is, III know Of none but your behavior to u.s.
He complains that instead Of being grateful
for utterances Of kind feeling, we were
querulous, Suspicious and unjust W. aspersed
