The Physicians Rounds.
Cincinnati Saturday Night.


 "Call immediately at No. =. St. A child of eight years is sick with the scarlet fever" This is the message left upon the physicians office slate. He re- turns from his professional calls. reads the order, and is of without delay :o the house of sickness to administer relief and speak words of comfort, or, if Fate so de- cTees, to give the intelligence of grief. Again he IS away upon other missions of joy and sorrow. His coming is awaited with anxiety; his words arc oracles: he is a minister of happiness and woe. hope and despair, peace and terror.
 All recognize the responsibility and the honor of the physicians calling; but how many fully appreciate its grievous vcxa- tions and discomforts? A patient is to be seen in the middle of the night.-the phy- sician must respond; patient is peevish ard exacting.- physician must acqai- esce, patient fails to obey the instruc- tons given him.--a relapse follows, and she physicians skill is questioned.

Temperance Items.

THE sale of intoXicants has been for
hidden in all restaurants of the Grand
Trunk Railway.
DIR. NORMAN KERR, the medical tenn
perance worker, estimates the annual
mortality of the Incorporate in Great
Britain at 40, 500 and the indirect
mortality resulting from intemperance
at double that number.
ABOUT the strongest temperance lect-
ure of the season is the recent state
ment of the keeper of the New York
Morgue that four-fifths of the five thou
sand bodies that reach the city dead
house every year are sent there by
drunkenness.
If you value your happiness, if you
value your lives-banish from your
houses, from your tables, from your
sick rooms, every drop of Intoxicating
drinks; for be assured they produce
weakness-not strength; sickness not
health; death-not life. DR.. Coiicnette.
FIFTY-oNE COUNTIES in Georgia have
no licensed saloons. Two others close
in October. Seven have only one each,
and in many counties the sale is con-
fined exclusively to the county town.
The Prohibition element is becoming
stronger and more formidable every
day.
OUR German fellow-ctizens know
very well that the liquor traffic is re-
strained, and severely restrained, in
Germany, and if the German laws were
applied and forced in Cincinnati three
fourths of the saloons would be closed
in twenty-four hours. If those things
are necessary in Germany, where the
bayonet rules, how much more neces-
sary here, where the people govern
themselves. - Cincinnati Gazette.
ALCOHOL, like chloroform, is narcot-
ic; it is in no sense food; it reduces the
animal heat and force; overtaXes the
heart; weakens the muscles; paralyzes
the brain ard nervous system generally;
destroys the vital organs; induces many
bodily and mental diseases; implants
evil influences which pass from one
generation to another; lessons the hap
piness and usefulness, and shortens the
life of every generation that INDUCES
in its use.-B. w. Richardson, MD,

Two Prominent Victims.

Here are two more melancholy IN
stances-two among many. A gentle
man in Cleveland Of high social stand
ing, of excellent family, formerly con-
nected with the famous Standard Oil
Company, has just been taken to the
Newburgh asylum, victim of alcohol
ism. He leaves behind him Il cultured
and accomplished wife, to whom the
elegant mansion recently erected by the
unfortunate man, and said to be the
finest residence at present in the city,
remains as u sorrowful mockery. The
other case is similar. In one of the auc-
ton stores OF our own city, on a day of
last week, curious array of mechani-
cal contrivances was put up for sale.
The articles comprised the sole remain
ing property of once well-to-do pro-
fessor and inventor. He is the con-
triver of the electrical locomotive for the
development of which company was
at one time organized with a capital of
$50, 900. He was once engaged by the
United States Electric Light Company
at salary of $4,000 per annum. His
dissolute habits estranged his friends
from him and ruined his prospects.
Credit one more life destroyed to alco-
hol! Rather place it on the debit side.
The blasted fortunes and ruined souls
for which whisky or whisky patronage
is to be held accountable make up q
fearful record against some one. Chi

character of the immigrants that are
now attracted thither from other parts
of the country and from abroad.
The success of the effort in Kansas
and Iowa has stirred up the people in
other Western States to ask whether the
time has not come for a more general
declaration of independence from the
evil which has been wasting their
strength and destroying their popula-
ton; whether for the sake of putting
money into the Golfers of the manufact-
urers and dealers in Intoxicating drinks
they are called upon to support such a
business by universal and heavy taxa
ton. In Illinois and Indiana and Ohio
just now, these questions, in all their
bearings, are occupying public attention
to an unprecedented degree. The same
is true of some of the Southern States.
In speech at Acworth, Ga, last week.,
Governor Colquitt planted himself firm
ly upon the platform of temperance, and
against the manufacture and sale of
whisky in Georgia.
One evidence of the progress of the
cause is the alarm that prevails among
those who are most interested in the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
drinks. They have formed extensive
combinations to sustain the business
and they pour out their money with q
freedom that is seldom manifested in
sustaining any good enterprise. In
some places they are proposing COM
promise with the friends of temperance,
and are willing to favor something in
the way of License laws, but in general

following extract from one of their
organs in this city shows that they APP
preciate the situation:
"There has never been n time in the history
of the trade in beverag 5 when disaster seemed
| so probable. We do not say this to create UNI
necessary alarm, but because it is palpabe
| truth, rs any reasoning observer of events
must see for himself. A wave of fanaticism
has risen in the West, and now threatens to
sweep over the entire country"
A dispatch fom the West states that
the liquor men of Indiana have become
thoroughly alarmed, and feel the ne
cessity of making special efforts for the
protection of their interests. They have
been holding convention to take
measures for opposing the project of
submitting a Prohibitory Amendment
of the Constitution to the people. One
of the resolutions adopted at this con-
ventiOn of liquor dealers was this:
ResoIUed, That we invite all Hbcrty-lovng
! people of the State of Indiana to join us in our
| efforts to defeat the enemy of liberty.
The time is most favorable for the
friends of humanity and true liberty to
combine their energies in a common eff
fort to rid the country of its greatest
curse. All things encourage such an
effort. The good sense and the moral
judgment of the people are on the side
of such a movement, and if there is any
hope for humanity the cause is sure to
succeed. Success or social ruin must
be the result of the struggle.-N. Y.

How to Stop a DOg-Fight.

Every appliance which fertile mag.
nation could suggest has been employed
in the uncongenial task of separating
fighting dogs whose blood was up. A
few years ago there was a man who went
about declaring that sudden deluge OF
cold water would invariable produce the
desired result, until one day he saw two
dogs which, in the heat of battle, were
unconscious of all about them, fall off a
bridge into a riverforty feet below, and,
still clinched, sink and rise, sink and
rise, until one of them tloated down
stream dead and the other crawled out
upon the bank. Oliver Wendell Holmes
has put it on record that
The mOngres hold will slip,
But only crOwbars loose the bulldogs grip.
In the face of this decision of the auto
Crat, Massachusetts man boldly de-
clares that no dog, however brutal by
nature or inhamed by passion, can keep
on fighting after a handful of yellow
snuff has been thrown into his face.
The logic of the situation, he would
probably say, is that after the applica-
ton of snuff the dog must either sneeze
or burst ; no dog can sneeze and fight
at the same, and it is certain that no doc
can burst and fight at the same time.
The Massachusetts man speaks with con-
tidence, and it would be a pleasure to
see him administer the snuff.-N. Y.

The Scotch Herring Fishery.

The report of the Commissioners of
the Scottish Fishery Board for the year
1881, says the herring fishery of 1881
was, with the one exception of 1880, the
largest upon record, Taking the whole
of the fishing upon the coasts of Scotland
the results may be stated as follows:
Barrels cured, ILL, 155; barrels export
ed, 1879; barrels branded, 149, 1872;
brand fees, Is, 236 Is. Cd. The decrease
compared with 1880 upon the total num-
Der of barrels cured was in all 1862, AS,
and this was divided between the east
and west coasts as follows: West coast,
decrease, 5,6933; east coast, decrease,
296, 7514. The quality of the behring's
of 1881 was, however, superior to that of
1880. The total number of fishing-boats
employed in the herring fishing of 1881
was ii, SO9, being an increase of fifty
eight over the previous year. The num-
Der of fishermen engaged was 48, 121, or
900 more than in 1880. There was also
a marked increase in the capital en-
ployed. The value of the boats was
1922, 456 in 1881, as against E556, 946 in
1880, while the nets rose to 1868, 572
from G619,012 the lines alone showing
a trifing decrease. The total value of
the material was E109,95 in excess of
that used in 1890 In the cod and
ling fishery 115,5135 hundredweights
We're cured dried, and 4,0754 barrels
cured in pickle; and the quantity export
ed was 81, APO hundredweights cured
dried, being a decrease from the preced-
ing year of 40.231 hundredweights in
the quantity cured dried and 3,719 bar
rels in the quantity cured in pickle, and
of 1920 hundredweights cured dried in
the quantity exported. The estimated
value of the boats. nets and lines used
in the herring, cod and ling fisheries in
1881 was Il, 1913, 46l, being an increase
over the previous year Of ElO9, 1913.

Two Kinds Of Apples on One Stem.

| write to call attention to very pc
culiar freak of nature, and ask through
YOUR columns information of those in
formed on such subjects. Growing on
the premises of Messrs. Huston and Ma
thias Miller, in this vicinity, is an apple
tree bearing two distinct varieties of APP
ples-the green pippin and golden rus
set Not onl Y on the same tree are to be
found the two varieties of apples above
named, but on the same twig. And,
what is still more remarkable, some of the
apples are one-half pippin and the other
half russell; and as the pippin grows the
largest OF the two, the pippin side of the
fruit cups over the other side, giving it
somewhat the appearance and shape of
the over-cup acorn. Herewith forward
you six apples, all of which grew on the
same limb or branch of the tree, and the
two with string attached to the stems
on the same twig. There is also one like
an over-cup acorn, us above described,
being one side pippin and the other side
russell. Some of the specimens show
that they are mixed, and some are pure
plppins and others russets. The Messrs.
Miller, upon whose premises these apples
grew, planted the tree, and seem certain
that 1t has never been grated since it
was planted. There is one branch of the
tree Chat is, one main branch which
bears both kinds of fruit. - Harljpgburq,

A market garden in the vicinity of
Cleveland has produced one of the most
remarkable crops on record this year. 1t
is rusty iron tea-kettle filled with cop
per, silver and gold coins, chiefly Amer
lean, amounting in all to $500, none of
the coins being older than 1859. The
owner of the garden was digging for the
foundations of a barn when he came
across this remarkable crop. He thinks
it may have been planted there by man
named Wilson, who sold the place and
moved West about twenty years ago;
but probably he has not curiosity enough
on the subject to write to Wilson and
find out. Wilson, in the sale, did not
except the growing crops, and this one
has been twenty years ripening.

The Republicans have never been able
to take the name view Of any question
when their OK sgored that theydo when
it is the Democratic animal. The rules
of the Democratic House, adopted at
the instance of the Democratic speaker
were aimed to secure the rights of the
minority and to prevent i'll considered
and jobbing legislation. AS that coun,
try is governed best which is governed
least, the general effect Of parliamentary
rules to check all but the necessary legis.
lation for appropriation bills is salutary.
Quite naturally these rules now serve
the purposes of the Democratic minority,
but, wherever they put the brakes on,
the Republicans kick. most Violently and
create a great tumult. Thus FAR the
Democrats in the House have main.
tained their parliamentary rights. The
Republicans, alarmed lest the many
jobs of the lobby will fail, will now hold
a caucus to see if they cannot relax the
rules which they were so glad to apply
when in minority.

Sale Of Chattels at Greenwood, y. l.
The Greenwood sale took place with
very little excitement. The sheriff and a
posse of thirty men arrived early in the
morning. The first chattel sold was to
have been the horse of widov but on
tho arrival of tho sheriff at the house it
was found that tho woman had already
sold her property. The crowd, which was
very large, then proceeded to the house of
another widow named Mrs. Lydia McGraw.
Here horse was offered for sale. a bid
of s. was made by man named Bennett !:
but it was sold to another bidder for SO.
The next place visited was the house OF an
old man, where COW was sold. The old
man is in destitute circumstances and
took the sale very much to heart. Tho
bystanders were moved to tears by the
sorrow the sale caused him. No opposi-
tion will be made to the officers of the law :;
but public sympathy is very much in
favor of the taxpayers. The crowd present
at the sale is very large, people having
come from all parts of the surrounding
country.

with a removal or relief from the odious

Tho FLOODS.

The Mississippi river continued falling
at Memphis and Helena, yesterday, but
there is no abatement of the sufferings in
the flooded districts. The rations given
out are in many cases already exhausted,
where it was thought they would last
until the Goth inst, the number of desti-
tute being larger than was supposed. The
Mississippi river from Cairo nearly all
the way down to New Orleans is
said to average forty miles in
width, and except for "sixty miles
above and below Vicksburg, the levees are
either washed away or covered with water
and of no practical benefit The town
Of Delta, in Louisiana. is being abandoned
by its Inhabitants. At Monroe, in the
same state, the situation is critical, the
river rising steadily and the water oozing
through the levees. Most of the town of
Trenton is flooded to depth of three
feet. In all the river districts of Louisi
ana the experience of Arkansas, Missis
sippia and Tennessee is now being re.
peated.
