What is a cure for gossip Simply
culture. There is great deal of gos-
sip that has no malig nifty in it. Good
natured people talk about their neigh
bors because, and only because, they
have nothing else to talk about. Cos
sip is always a personal. confession
either of malice or imbecility, and the
Young should not only shun it, but by
the most thorough culture relieve them
selves from all temptations to indulge
in it. IL is low, frivolous, and too
often a dirty business. There are

The wise men who where lately
convened at Liverpool, England, for
the iaudab!e purpose of reforming and
codifying the Law of nations ran foul
one day of the old expression OF Our
common law merchant, "the act OF
God" This phrase is used in bills OF
lading and elsewhere to designate
any cause which operates without any
aid or interference from man. cota'
mon carriers are responsible for the
goods delivered to their charge, unless
they can show that the goods were
injured or destroyed either by the
public enemy, which includes pirates
and the opposing forces in time OF war,
or by the act of God, which includes
foods, lightnings, tempests and other
of natures destructive agencies.
1t was objected that this phrase was
not wisely chosen. A member insist
ed that it was the "act Of God" which
sent the vessel to its destination, as
well as occasionally to the bottom. To
one who saw the hand of God in every
thing, this old law phrase would nat
urally seem too general and compre-
bensiye. To one who recognized
the hand of God in nothing, the phrase
would seem even more Objectionable.
Thus it struck the French representa-
tive, who informed the conference that
the tendency of modern legislation
was to omit divinity from the law.
He would substitute "casus fortu,tuS"
or inevitable accident as more ap-
propriate to bill Of lading. Anoth-
er member reached the same conclu-
sion by an exactly opposite road. lie
opposed the use of the phrase "act OF
Godn in bills Of lading as savorlng OF
irreverence. Mr.. David Dudley Field
whose life-work is law reform Of some
sort, and who SO itly and so ably rep
resents the United States at this inter
national conference, wished to substi-
tute the expression "superhnman
causev for "act of God" The MAORI
W, however, thought that as the
phrase had acquired definite legal
meaning by the decision Of the best
and most Christian judges from time
immemmorial, it was best to leave 1t
alone. 1t was left alone accordingly
and the "act of God" was incorpora-
ted in the model bill of lading for all
nations.

saved From Archie Death.

The Leigh Hunt Arctic expedition
has bad more Fortunate ending than
that of the Jeaaette- The news has
come that Mr.. Hunt and the entire
crew of the Ezra, his steam yacht,
were rescued by the Hope, one OF the
search steamers. The Ezra left Peter
head. Scotland, June Ia, 1881, with
the intention of making Franz JOSEF
Land. This was .done July %; but
a month later, August 2l, the vessel
was Clipped in the ice, and sank 60
ouickly that the crew had time to save
few effects. During the long winter
the men were at Cape Flora. MT
Smith says:
A house was built of stones ana
turf covered with sails. For sixteen
nights all the crew lived in the tent
sometimes almost foated out by the
rain at others spending most OF the
night endeavoring to keep up the tent
dnrinp a heavy gale. Before the
winter set in sixteen walru5 were shot
and several bears Our principal 1000
consisted of walrus and bear meat,
which. boiled with vegetables, was
served out three times day in,o
twentv-fye plates made out OF oio
nrovision tins. Cooking had to DC
done inside the house. The ire was
mostly made by means of blubber ano
rome as very little ccal and wood had
been saved i:om the ship. Many
times everybody was compelled 10 rusu
ont of the house to avoid being sulio
Gated with the smoke which the hre
emitted whenever an inexperienced
hand took upon himself the duties ol
cook. Frequent visits from pears
were the sources of excitement durine
the long dark days. They would OF
ten prowl around the tent. and many
man got scared Oh rushing out u
the dark. The only safe plan was u
send q dog in front of anybody goine
out, as he always gave good warning
wbe, a bear was near. One day aoon
the end Of October two men were
walking on the ice in front OF the nat
when dog rushed home wagging hl
tail and barking furiously until som'
of them followed him. TO their &c
light some walrus were seen lying OF
the ice. The two meE returned to the
house, and every rifle was prepared, U
give the walrus a heavy yoiiey
Several were shot, but nearly all fel
into the water. A boat was launched
and after an hours exciting hunt, nv
were killed.
The men were fortunate enough U
keep in food, and June 81, this year
the ice had so broken up that thel
started in boats for the south. Ate
six weeks of hard work and suffering
the boats reached Nova Iembla ant
rescue. There was little sickness ant
no death during the exciting experi
ences, which resulted so much mor'
fortunately than the sad suffering
march to death of Lieutenant DeLont
and his men.

The Therapeutic Gazette, in discus
sing the relations OF the physician to
the pharmacist, has the following :
THAT failure Of treatment may be due
the inferior character of the medica-
ment, the experience Of the majority OF
our readers can doubtless attest. The
reputation OF the physician isthus very
largely ut the mercy of the druggist
and pharmacist Yet how few persons
are practically alive 10 this fact.
Those who make II point to satisfy
themselves as fully as may be OF the
quality OF the article dispensed on their
prescriptions, arc greatly in the minor
ity. In these days Of keen competition
in all branches, both Of the trades and
the professions, the preparation OF med
icine has not escaped the tricks and de-
vices, the adultcration and deprecia-
tion Of essential properties, which
abound in other directions, all with o
view to the production Of goods with
which to underselI those which
strictly conform to the recog-
nizcd standard OF excellence
lence. Good goods Of whatever class
have standard value, value based
on the worth OF the material employed
and the skill necessary to their prepa-
ration. The effort to secure trade
rather through the cutting OF prices
than the improved quality Of the man
uiactures, is one Of the greatest evils
of the times-an evil reprcbensible
wherever practiccd but positively
criminal in medicine, where soch vital
interests are involved Physicians
seldom give it thought to what cx-
tent they encourage this evil by relega-
ting the selection Of their drugs TO
others. That there is q vast amount
Of dishonesty in the manufacture OF
pharmaceutical preparations, and that
it is profitable through the encourage
mcut (unconsciDus cncouragcments,
usually given it by the medical prac-
ti;ioner, are facts which cannot be
gainsa;d The druggists interest in
drugs is chiefly commercial, and he is
thus tempted to buy from whom he
can buy the cheapest. He cannot Judge
Of the value Of such prepared goods as
he may purchase The value can only
be liked by therapeutic tests. This
being tie case, 1t behoovcs physicians
to take deep interest in pbarmical
manufacturers, aud only support
such houses as give them trustworthy
preparations, to the exclusion OF thoee
who are Of capitalization adultera-
uon or other devices whcrby to lower
the prices OF their wares

The Duckwatsr water Case.

The Supreme Court has reversed
the decision of Judge Mckinney OF
Nye County in the Duckwater water
case. b. Il. Strait had brought action
against c. A. Brown and others TO
prohibit them from depriving him of
certain water privileges to which he
claimed prior rights. Following are
the closing paragraphs Of the SUI
preme Courts decisions:
To these waters plaintiffs had ac-
.uuired a prior right by virtue OF an
earlier appropriation. But because
In passing from the springs TO the
creek the waters either percolate
through the earth or are conveyed by
unknown subterranean channels, 1t
Is urged that the law r. lating to per-
colating waters should be applied.
It seems clear that none OF the rea-
sons upon which the law OF percola-
ting water Is based exist in this case.
Here there is no uncertainty, either
as to the existence of the waver or the
o Of water which the defendants
have taken from plaintiffs. Nor is it
reasonable TO suppose that defendants
could have been ignorant of the effect
which their diversion OF the waters
would produce upon the plaintlf1s
lower down the creek.
1t may fairly be assumed that
plaintiffs acquired their lands from
the fact that the waters of The creek
could be made available for irrigation;
and, having appropriated the waters
prior to the appropriation made by
defendants, such prior appropriation
should be protected.
1t would be mere pretence of pro-
lection OF the rights acquired by the
earlier appropriations of the waters OF
the creek TO say that later appropri-
ators could lawfully acquire rights to
the springs which constitute the
source of the creek simply because
the means by which the waters are
conveyed from springs to reek are
subterranean and not well understood.
For these reasons we are OF the
opinion that the Judgment is against
law and should be reversed.
AS there may be a retrial of the
case we consider ii advisable To add
that under the facts established,
plaintiffs we're entitled in their plead
ings and evidence to treat the waters
OF the springs as a part OF the creek.
Judgment reversed.

Mining In Alaska,

The placer mines at Takou, Alaska
are an assured success. The district
cannot be worked out for years. At
least $3.50, 900 has been taken ont this
season, and the best claims were not
discovered until August. One claim
paid $500, the result of l05 hours
work. 1he miners are all in good
spirits, and for the most part will
winter in Harrisburg. They have
been making money fast and are en-
tirely satisfied with the prospect. a
great rush is looked for during the
Spring. On Douglas Island, opposite
the town Of Harrisburg, a new
mining district has been founded and
a town started called Cooperstown.
In this district Is located the Ready
Bullion mine, which is now being
worked by San Francisco capitalists,
and ii is thought it will prove very
valuable.
