GENTLEMEN who name ArizOna and New Mexico mines show q strange indifference to the feeling of eastern ladies and gentlemen whom they hope to secure as purchasers of their shares. They should remember that the peo- pie of Boston, Philadelphia and even New York are somewhat sensitive about exposing their ignorance upon any snlject. Ttose of the first named city are, we believe, particularly SO. Now a Bostcn man might want to get ten shares of ChirIcahua stock, but does anybody think he would go into a brokers office, walk up 10 the counter, and take chances on the name. Of course not. There is a practical side to the nomenclature business; at any rate when an eastern market IS one uf the considerations. -lDaily Report.

The patience which enabled him 10 collect materials in this way, was never more sOrely taxed than in the destruction of the manuscript of the second volume of his French RevO- lutiOn.' The story is vaiOusly told, but Mrs. Carlyle Is authority for the foll owing version of It: A friend borrowed the manuscript 10 read just as it was ready for the printers. He read it in a garden arbOr, and, leav- ing it there, allowed the sheets tO be- come wet in a shower. In this state it was taken into the house and placed before the fire 10 dry. Ll- luckily, when DO one was al hand 70 save it, the paper caught fire and he work of many months was consumed. When Carlyle was informed Of lhe miShap, he rushed out of the house with look and manner SO peculiar that tears were entertained respecting his intention. After a time he re- turned with an armful of novels from circulating library, and shutting himselfup with these, he read them for weeks as 0 means of regaining cOmpOsure. Then he began again and reproduced she burned volume.

The Drunk,s Progress.

London Medical Journal.
 When alcohol Is introduced into the stomach in the ordinary way, it near ly all passes through the liver. Un- diluted spirits are much more iDjuri- ous than when mixed with water, and produce greater irritation. Alcohol consumed as wine or beer is far less destructive than when taken in the form of ardent spirits A hot climate intensifes all the vicious effects of alcohol.
 The symptoms of cirrhosis of the liver are in the early stages are often obscure, but later they are sufficiently well marked At first the liver gets slightly enlarged, and the patient suffers from pain in the right side. indigestion. wind and costIve bowels.
 He is occasionally feverish, his skin is ho; and dry and he has pecu- liar, unhealthy, ssllow look which he probably fails to notice, but which is sufficiently obvious to his friends. The necessity of making a change in his habits is forced upon his attention and for a week or two is under the doctors orders, and, not feeling able to drink any more, he consents tO fol- low a restricted diet and to take a course of purgatives.
 Soon the most prominent symptoms are relieved, he fancies himself well again and quickly returns to his old habits. Gradually, however, he mo- tices that he is getting thinner and weaker, and occasionally he has Q good deal of pain m the side. He is nervous and out of sorts. He has no longer the pluck he used to have; first hls friends notice it, and then he gradually becomes aware of it him. self
 lie finds that he is not fit for bus mess" and he is afraid to see people. The patient has occasionally attacks of dIarrhea, his appetite fails, and the cancellation and debility increase. He tries all kinds of treatment, but never sticks to one long at time. He con>ults everyone of any note in London, but derives little if any ben eft from their advice. He would give up the drink if he could, but he can LOt. His self reliance is gone, the alcohol has stolen away his will, and he is utterly incapable of giving up tue dangerous fascination.
 He will take an oath to-day that he will never touch another drop of spirit, but Will probably break il to- morrow. Sometimes he wishes that some one would lock him up in an asylum, or that by some chance or other he could have six months inn prisonment, but he never feels able To pIt himself under restraint After time the liver gets smaller, and this, instead of being good sign, is bad one, for it is contracting.
 He would willingly consent to knock off drink nuw, but it is too late; the mischief is done, the liver is | in a state of cirrhOsis, ana no medi- cine can restore il to its natural con- diliOn.
 Is there any remedy for this hor- rible complaintY Yes, one-teetotal- ism; absolute ab>tinence from alco- hOllc liquors of all kinds. This rem edy must be applied early. If he waits until his liver has undergone d serious organic change il is too late. No hali-measUreS will suffice; be must give up drink of all kinds. II he does this he will recover; but it he goes on In hIs old plan an early and painful death Is the inevitable cOnse- QucDce.

Marrying to A,oid Reing Married

Mary Granville, in her " Memoirs" tells this of the good old times: A lady came into Birmingham with a handsome equipage and '' desired the landlord of the inn to get her d hus- band, being determined 10 mary some body or other before she left the town" The man bowed and supposed the lady 10 be in facetiOus humOr, but being made sensible how much she was in earnest, he went out in search of man that would mary d dne lady without asking questions. After many repulses from poor fellows who were not desperate enough for such a venture, he met with an ex- ciSeman, who said he cOul not be in worse condition than he was, and accordingly went with the innkeeper and made tender of himself, winch was all he had To bestOw On the lady, who immediately went with him 10 one who gave them license and made them man and wife, on which the bride gave her spouse e20O, and without more delay left the town ant the bridegroom to find out who she was or Unriddle this strange adven- ture. Soon after she was gone two gentlemen came Into town in full pur suit of her.
