THE DOCTOR.

1t is related, as legend OF the medi-
cal fraternity, that the Emperor Au-
gustus was once so highly pleased at
cure effected in himself by his doctor,
Antonius Musa, that he raised the gem
tleman to the rank of knight, and re-
lieved the whole profession from the
burdens of taxation.
Probably at no time before or since
that event has the lot of the ply
been such a happy one. In the earlier
DAYS of Rome the practice of medicine
was despised and confined to the hum
bier ranks of society and to slaves. Not
until the influence of Grecian civiliza-
ton made itself felt IN the Roman capi-
tai did physicians gain honor or stand
ing. =,
In the middle ages the calling suffered
q relapse, to speak medically. Surgery
was in ill-repute, and Sprengel tells us
that in Germany no artisan would EN-
ploy young man as an apprentice with
out q certificate that he was born In
marriage of honest parents, and came OF
family in which were found neither
BARRIERS, bathers nor "skinners," as
surgeons were called.
Even at the present day, although
the meritorious claims of the medical
and surgical practitioner have been re-
cognized and an honorable social status
awarded him, his mind is not at rest.
The advancement and refinement of
ideas have begotten deeper anxieties
and feeling of responsibility. So
jealousy does the law guard the lives
and persons Of the people, that every
time the physician writes prescription,
or the surgeon makes an incision, he
takes his purse, his liberty, or perhaps
his life in his hand. The risk is not at
all on the part of the patient, despite
popular impression that the only pocket
book likely to be depleted or the only
life liable TO be sacrificed, is that Of the
sick msn.-Popul1r Science Monthly.

A MEXICAN EXCURSION
WHICH CAME NEAR PROVING FATAL

A serious but fortunately not fatal
termination came to recent excursion
from tho city of Mexico to the cave OF
Cacahuamilpa in honor Of some Ameri.
can visitors, About fifty persons LETT
Mexico, but the party received so many
accessions by the way that when the
cave was reached there were as many as
500 persons in the company, including
the military guard.
II appears that Scnor Carlos Quaglia,
governor Of Morclos, had ordered a
banquet to be prepared in that portion
of the grotto which bears the name OF
"The Organ Salon." on account OF the
stalactites which have there assumed the
form Of on organ. The place was il.
Illuminated by electric lights, yet there
were also many torches OF resinous
wood burning. The elite, who mum.
bcred perhaps ninety persons there
were also u great many servants), occu-
pied the Organ Salon. In close prox-
unity were placed several shelter tents
for the ladies and children TO sleep in.
These were filed with sleepers, and along
one side of the banqueting hall many
gentleman were lying on mattresses,
mats or blankets. A few Of the more
animated guests fingered over the table
until 9 o'clock in the morning, and were
chatting, when Governor Quagla tainted.
All efforts to restore him to conscious
ness seemed futile. While he remained
in this condition some ladies complained
of illness, others were asphyyiated, and
gentleman suggested that all this
might be due to mephitic exhalations.
Mothers at once fastened to their child
ren, and, finding some in stupor,
comprehended the danger A panic
ensued. General Diaz ordered an
instant retreat from the grotto. General
Ord and others instructed the soldiers
to carry out the ladies and children.
Ex-Governor Romero Vargas aided
Senior Mariscal, minister Of foreign re-
lations, to scramble over the rocks. In
fact, all who had strength assisted these
who were asphyxiatcd, and every per-
son was removed to purer atmosphere
Some persevered until they reached the
entrance of the cave (three miles DIS
tant) and threw themselves down on the
bare ground, almost exhausted with
fatigue, but safe.

BLOOp-THIRSTY DOG.

A large bloodhound belonging to
John II. Burtis, of Fosters Meadows,
n. Y, attacked COW, owned by Farmer
Hendrickson, which was in a pasture. The
COW tossed her assailant with her horns.
The hound, landing on his feet, rushed
at the COW, fastened his teeth in her
throat, and bore her to the ground.
The cows believing brought Mr.. Burtis
to the spot with a gun. He fired at the
hound, but failed to kill it. The
hound, after the COW was dead, released
its hold, rushed into Mr.. Burtis's yard
and jumped into pig pen. While it
was attacking one Of the pigs Mr.. Burtis
shot it. One Of the pigs was so badly
bitten that it was Thought best to kill it.

WAITS.

A Belgian peasant in the commune Of
Havay lost child and COW in rapid
succession. He believed that he was
bewitched, and consulted somnam-
bulist, who advised him to battle the
evil spirits by burning the first woman
who should enter his house on the fol-
lowing day. He went home, lighted his
fire and prepared warm reception for
the expected visitor. She happened to
be a neighbor, who brought him mes
sage from Maulbege. He invited her
in and ordered his wife to close all the
doors and windows. Then he stirred
up his big fire and proceeded to broil
his visitor. The police arrived in time
to prevent her from being cooked.
The advocates of cremation must feel
discouraged on looking over the list OF
patents granted at Washington one
week recently. 1t does rot look as if
there were to be any change in the
mode of disposing of the dead for the
next 100 years at least. One of them
provides for lock and key which gives
notice of any interference with grave.
Another provides for the same result by
blowing the grave-robber with dyna-
mite quarter of mile into the air.
Then there is patent swing cooling
board, another with coffin attach
ment and an embalming fluid. If it is
a sign of civilization not to neglect the
dead the patent Office speaks good
word for American civilization.
The demand for sailors in San Fran
cisco exceeds the supply, wages have
risen in consequence, and several cap
tains have been obliged to resort to
Chinese sailors. Captain Hutchinson,
of the English ship Rock Terrace, has
just gone TO sea with fourteen of them.
he expected to hire them at moderate
wages, but the willy Mongolians had
been apprised Of the value of their ser
vices, and after some haggling went
cheerfully on board under a contract
for S25 month and three months pay
in advance. Several ancient shippers
declare that such wages for the heather
is enough to make mariners hair turn
white in night. They say that 1t is all
very well for Captain Hutchinson to as
sert that the Chinese showed them
selves to be good sailors when subject
ed to q preliminary trial in port, but
that when storm comes on he will re-
pent Of his bargain.

girl, hurrying to bide tryste with her
lover, passed along the garden path and
sped lightly onward, humming an aria
from that sparkling Spanish opera
bouffe, III Barbarilla de Lavapiez."
She had just reached the trunk of the
majestic eucalyptus, when rebozo, the
scarf or mantle used by Indian women,
very strong and very soft, was flung
over her head.
"Utter sound and you diel" Kissed
Alvarado into her ear, as he lifted her
in his arms and placed her, all strug.
Cling, on the saddled Estella, whose
bride was held in Jago Martinez's left
hand.

"We have good two hours start,
cried Martinez, "and must make the
best of it! Could she be heard now,
Alvarado?"
POSSIBLY"
Let her breathe q little"
The instant the rebozo was loosened
from her mouth the girl uttered the
scream that was heard at the piazza.
"Muflle her again " ,
Martinez then addressed the now
terrified maiden:
"Conchita, you know that l have
loved you ever since beheld you at
the fete OF the Cinco Mayo. No
man shall come between me and the
woman l adore. 1 have sworn it. For
the moment, perhaps, Ruy Gomez has

"You shall be the lawfully welded

After few minutes hard riding, AL.

IT Is interesting TO witness the relentless
fury Into which some of the republican pa
pers lash themselves whenever they speak OF
Mr.. Conkling, and the bitterness with which
they pour forth their venom upon him, al
most makes the air to reek with poison The
Nav York Star says of him: "Roscoe Cork
ling has been making speech to reporter
of his stalwart organ upon the duty OF the
hour. The people understand their duty
perfectly we'll and will do it without any fur
Their ad ice from Mr.. Corkling, who has al
ready made mischief enough for his lifetime
So far as Mr. Conkling himself is concerned
the duty of the hour is to keep perfectly ST.
lent while the detectives are pursuing their
Investigations to follow Piatt's example and
TO resign his candidacy for the senatorship.
If it be absolutely necessary for Conkling to
do and say something, a. this crisis, suppose
he should array himself in ssckcloth, pour
ashes upon his head and, in humility and re-
pentance, off,r up prayers for Gsrfsld's res
covery. His arrogance in presuming to
advise the people of this country, shows
that tn :orrible crime of Guitesu has not at
all aft .c.ed the s.alwsrt leader, and that, at
heart, he is the same petty despot IS before
the assassination" The Bible does not con-
tain the words, "that prayers of the wicked
avaleth nsught," bus it conveys that idea,
so if MIR. Conkling is the vie and wicked
wretch the Star and other republican papers
psint him, what is the sense in him putting
on sackcloth and pouring ashes on his head
and offering up prayers for the presidents
recovery? It is none Of our funeral but it
seems to us that the Star and the other re-
publican papers pursuing tue same view are
making themselves ridiculous and expectorN
ting against the wind.
