Laughter as O Medicine.

A short time since, two individuals
were lying in one room very sick, one
of them with the brain fever, and the
other with an aggravated case of mumps.
They were 30 low that watchers were
needed every night, and it was thought
doubtful If the one sick of fever could
recover. A gentleman was engaged to
watch over night, his duty being to wake
the nurse whenever it became necessary
to administer medicine. In the course
of the night both watcher aud nurse fell
asleep. The man with the mumps lay
watching the clock, and saw It was time
to give the fever patient his portion.
He was unable to speak aloud or to move
any portion of his body except his arms,
but seizing pillow, he managed 10 strike
the watcher In the face with It, who thus,
suddenly awakened sprang from bis seat,
falling to the floor and awakened both
the nurse and the fever patient. The
Incident struck the sick man as very
ludicrous aud they laughed heartily at
At for. some fifteen or twenty minutes.
When the doctor came In the morning
he found his patient vastly improved,
aud said he never knew 80 sudden turn
for the better, and now both arc up and
well. WHO says lenghter u not the bes,
of, nedicihes q and this reminds the
writer of another case. A gentleman
was suffering from an liberation of the
throat which at length became 30 swollen
that his life was despaired OF. His
household came to his bedside to bid
him farewell. Each individual shook
hands with the dying man and then went
away weeping. Last OF all, came a pet
apo, and shaking the mans handt vent
away also With it's hands over its eyes
It was 90 lhdicrous n sight that the
patient WAS forced TO laugh and laughed
80. heartily that the ulcer broke and his
life was saved.--Saaitarian.

night to arrange his theatrical business, as usual
for the coming season. Mr.. English viii be alb

panied by Mrs. English, who is still in delicate
health. In response to question Mr. English
stated that he would not positively decide as to
whether Or not he would be candidate

said: My business requires my per-
sonal attention, and my inclinations are
strongly against being candidate, and upon my

Lieutenant KisliRgburg's Spirited Account
of the Shooting of Bear.
Letter to His Wife, at Detroit.
Coming across Melville bay, what was an
nounced one night at supper time but a polar
bearl / was told afterward that 1 jumped from
my seat clear over the table the moment his
loardship's presence was made known. l know
this, that | was on deck and had lodged one or
two balls in his side when the firing first com
menced, and that / discovered after we had a
rope around his neck towing him back to the
ship that it was pretty cold and that was coat
less and in my slippers He was discovered off
the port side of the vessel, engaged in taking a
seal in an ice foe. A great number Of shots
were fired at him when the ship passed, with
the result mentioned. Those Shots however,
did not retard his movements He left that
foe and went to another. A boat containing
Lieut. Lockwood, Mr. Clay and myself, with
the mate and two men of the crew, was
quickly lowered, and we were after him. We
all fred at him, but the motion of the boat
prevented shooting accurately. With the next
shot ! stretched him out, putting bullet
spuarely through his brain I win not deny a
feeling of pride when found had really killed
white bear. You will remember, | think, my
but apolar bear, and that was anxious to tackle
one The same day a large seal was seen on an
ice foe some distance from the ship, and Lieu
tenant Lockwood and myself were rowed over to
him. Both fired at once and sunk two balls in
him. Mine shot him in the back and Lockwoods
in the side. He rolled into the water, but he
was wounded too badly to get under the ice, and
we secured him with our boat hooks We soon
had him in the boat and aboard the ship. He
was big fellow, called square -ffipper seal and
weighed 400 pounds. We have seen great num-
bers of seals here in the ice, but have not got
q shot at them, as they are very shy and
hard to approach on the ice. They take to their
holes before we can get within half mile of
them have seen and killed great numbers of
birds; in fact in this respect we have killed
more in three hunts than have an the expeditions
combined that have been here before us. Alto
gethef we killed and brought aboard ship about
800 birds auks Ia kind of duele eider-dueks one
goose, and many dovekies, or sea pigeons They
are all excellent eating and proved very useful
to us, taking the place, as they do, Of fresh
meat. The birds congregate in vast numbers al
what are called lomadys, or bird mountains.
These are immense vertical cliffs. / had two
visits to one of these My party each time had
shot guns. and the total of our three days hunt
numbered 450 birds We went in our whaling
boat, and enjoyed the shooting hugely This
sight Of these very high cliffs, and the air filled
with the birds, is one worth seeing and long tc
be remembered.

GREELY,s NARRATIVE.

Hardships of the Party Daring the Long
Winter at Cape Sabine.
Letter in New York Times.
When the site for the camp had been selected
we set at once to building house to shelter us
from the severeties of the winter Stones were
gathered together and piled IN walls to enclose
space of about 25xI7 feet. Over the top of this
was placed the whaleboat found at Starkneeht
island, left by the Neptune in 1882. This formed
a ridge pole, and the rest of the roof was made
by stretching tent ard boat sails down to the
sides Of the house and pinning them down with
rocks Snow was heaped up to the caves, which
were about five feet high, 10 keep out the wind.
In this miserable hut we laid down from the 1st
of November until the latter part of May. From
the inside the walls were barely high enough to
allow the men to sit up in their sleeping bags
AL during our retreat from Fort Conger fuel had
Eeen very precious article. Everything was
saved ofeourse and the stFctest watch kept on its
issue. There was never enough for more than
cooking purposes, SO that all during the long,
dark, bitter cold days of winterwe had no source
of warmth except our clothes and sleeping bags.
AS matter of economy, cooking was done only
twice day, and then the discomforts from the
sinoAo lnore Onan counterpalahceu the ntlle
warmth which came from the blaze. At timesit
was suffocating and the quarters would have to
be vacated to save life The fuel was cut in the
fi oF,o a'1t ,5
caution taken to drive the heat against the heat
ing surface of the vessel. Much of the heat was
expended in reducing the ice and snow to water

The Art school Excursion.

Applications are rapidly coming for the Art
School excursion next week, and the trip prom
ises to be q most enjoyable one. A great many
points of interest in the East will be visited,
notably the natural bridge of Virginia, the
Shenandoah valley, Old Point Comfort. White
Sulphur Springs, Washington City and others.
The fare fortne round trip is exceedingly low, and
the arrangements, which are in charge of Col
J. H. Martin. are so complete as to justify the
belief that one who goes will have pleasant
time
