 An Englishman at a hotel in New York asked the clerk if there were toysters in the hotel" ''Oh, yes, vas the answer ssstep rlgnt In the restaurant, we don't keep them Tn the office" ''Egadi'' said MT. John Bull, 'l think you misunderstood me- you know l mean a oyster, don't you know a lift'-a hellevator, maybe you call it in this country" :" Practical View: Miss Anne X.

 John Williams, merchant, of Rutledge, Ga, sued desperate. The defendant en- tered the store in furious passion held out the summons in one hand, clutching a long knife in the other, and said Williams have you sued me ?''

 A Chester county boy aged twelve years, while returning from Sabbath school, fell frez4 ttl-ee Sop of fence and broke his arm
 And this is the second time he had the same arm fractured, in falling from the same panel of fence and in returning from Sunday school There is moral in this-but bad little boys mustn't think it teaches that it is wrong to go to Sunday school The proba- bilities are that if this unfortunate boy had been returning from game of base ball or from fishing, instead of breaking his arm at each fall, he would have broken his neck each time. The moral is, that he should creep under the fence instead of climbing over it. -Norristown Herald

COMMUNICATIONS.
Does Not Want Everything.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The innocent recipient of an unexpected notoriety desires through your channel of communication to allay the impression exist ing with many that he has agents employed to nominate him for every position in the gift of the various associations, public and private, political and social, that exist in this community. Having within brief period been elected secretary of the ''silk-stock- inged" Democracy, nominated for a similar position by a committee of the "dollar" Democrats, and last but not least men toned for a principalship in one of our public schools, and all through one and the source, some per sons might not believe that I do not keep lubricator for the purpose of con stantly keeping my name before the public Yet such is the truth of the matter As have neither the time nor-in this warm weather-the inclination to keep writing let ters of declination to all the organizations in town, I have selected this method of declar- ing that at present I prefer the ease of re- tirement and the peace of privacy. When I ployment in the public schools when should be most happy to receive the support of all the good members of the Board of Education and until I make such appli- cation the gentlemen who have the manage ment of our schools would confer a great fla vor on me by not considering my claims With the warmest feelings of kindness to those who have occasioned this effusion I re- main yours respectfully,

THE FIRST DAY.

The anxiously awaited balloting began yes terday forenoon. Grant was not nominated on the first or the second ballot, Blaine was not nominated on the third, and the twenty eighth, which closed the voting for the day, left the situation about as dubious as the first one did On the first ballot, when 755 votes were cast, Grant lacked 74 votes of the nom- ination, and Blaine lacked 94. On the twen- ty-eighth and last when 756 votes were cast, Grant lacked 72 and Blaine 100. Gain of Grant during the day 2 i; loss of Blaine 6. The highest vote Grant had during the day was 309, and the lowest BOP. Blaine's high est was 2S5 and his lowest 275. Sherman started with 93 and ended with 92, loss of one Edmunds started with 34 and ended with 31, loss of 3. Washburne started with 30 and ended with 35, gain of 5. Windom started with 10, and there was no change in the vote for him through all the twenty eight ballots. Garfield started with and ended with ?. Harrison, Hayes, Me Crary, Davis and Hartranft each received the vote of one delegate.
 The voting thus far is chiefly remarkable for the sticking" power it reveals. It Is very seldom that such number of ballots are taken with such slight variations in the voting. Who will break first and where will they go when they do break are questions which cannot be answered with any more certainty than they could have been just after the first ballot. The supporters of the va rious candidates seem, at this distance, ca pablo of keeping up the contest indefinitely, but arrangements may have been made dur ing the night that will cause important changes soon after the voting opens to-day.
 Connecticut's vote the first ballot, and in the other ballots reported to us by States, will surprise many who supposed they knew all about it. It was for Blaine, ? for Ed munds and for Washburne.
 The adjournment last night was, it seems, brought about by the vote of the anti-Grant combination.

 For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met l 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. Bis recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, renderingtrea ment so effectual that relief is experienced at once and permanent cures are often effected
 in the most stubborn and aggravated 66ses ;
 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 timid or nervous person
 A candid opinion will invariably be given as to the possibilities of 8 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. Lighthill takes pleasure in submitting the following testimonials. A mass of similar credentials may be seen at his office.

From MT. Richard Case, of Canton
 Conn.

For the past twenty years I 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 sui location, as though some one was strangling me, expecting every moment to be my last. My suffering was so severe that I 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 quite difficult for me to hear. Two months age I placed myself under Dr. Lighthilrs care, and the re- suit of his treatment has been truly wonder full. The trouble in my throat is completely removed, I 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 8 change for the better has been wrought in my case that thank God daily from the bottom of my heart for bringing Dr. Lighthill to Hartford and for directing me to him. am GA 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. 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. Lighthills success in the cure of catarrh Bis treatment of my wife has proved so ben efcial that I cheerfully recommend him tothe 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. Lighthill 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 physi- clan so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh. D. J. CLARK.

From Col. D. A. Rood,
Proprietor Of the United States Hotel,

 Hartford, Feb. H. 1880. Dr. E. B. Lighthil1:
 Dear Sir-Prompted by a feeling of justice to you and a sense of duty to the public, 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 I have seen a good deal of physicians and medical practice, but I must confess that your method of treatment for Catarrh is superior to anything that has yet come under my ob- seryation, and in fact is so rational and etfec- tive that it must commend itself at once to every unprejudiced mind.
 Yours truly, D. A. ROOD.

Among the important and interesting pa pers read at the recent meeting of the Amer ican Medical Association was one by Dr. J. " Quimby, of Jersey City, on the criminal use of chloroform. Dr. Quimby referred to the murder of Policeman Richard Smith, for which ''Cove'' Bennett and Mrs. Smith were tried Mrs. Smith held that she had been chloroformed, but the State contended that this was impossible-that the fumes of the chloroform would have awakened her from her natural sleep Here, then, was nice and important medico-legal question. If chloroform is properly given would it awaken a person, or would the person pass from 8 natural to an artificial or chloro
 form sleep without being awak- ened? Mrs. Smiths counsel asked Dr.
 Quimby these questions, and he answered that he had never attempted the application of chloroform to person during natural sleep and the books, so far as he knew, were silent on the subject He then made three experiments with view of determining the point He made arrangements with MT.
 A to enter his room when he was asleep and apply chloroform to him. He did this with entire success, transferring the person from natural to artificial sleep withouS arousing him. He used about three drachms of Squibb's chloroform and occupied about seven minutes in the operation. The second case was boy of thirteen who had refused to take ether for minor operation. Dr. Quimby advised the mother to give the boy a light supper and put him to bed. She did so, and Dr. Quimby calling when the boy was asleep administered chloroform and per formed the operation without awakening the boy The third case was boy of ten years, suffering from an abscess, and the same course was pursued with equal success. Two important inferences, as Dr. Quimby pointed out, may be drawn from these cases Minor surgical operations may be done with perfect safety and much more pleasantly than in the ordinary way, and, secondly, person some what skilled in the use of chloroform may enter sleeping apartment and administer chloroform with evil intentions while per son is asleep. Hence the use of this drug in the hands of criminal may become an ef-

The heirs to the great Hyde estate in Eng land are not only losing their faith in the i'm mense fortunes lying unclaimed, but some are beginning to suspect that they have been made the dupes of those who knew long ago there was nothing in the matter but a hurrah, an assessment for expenses of investigation, and some snug fees, pleasant travelling, and light business burdens It would be well if the imaginary heirs to many other estates in this country and in Europe could get their eyes open in the same way.

A correspondent writes: "Can you explain why the St. Francis Orphan Asylum needs three sa1aried teachers, while the New Haven Orphan Asylum has but one The former is purely sectarian, and there is a question in the minds of many if there is equity in such disposition of the public money" Our cor respondent will find on examining the list of teachers and salaries that each orphan asylum has three salaried teachers.
