Dir. Edward Is. FOOte as q repre-
sentative of Eclectic Medicine, as
writer of popular medical literature,
and as n physician stands prominent,
and, is. perhaps, throughout the
world, better known by his writings
than any other medical writer who
has directed his teachings TO the
people rather than the profession.
Born and raised among Connecticut
settlers, on the Western Reserve
in Ohio, lie early began the work of
many self-made men. Starting at
the age of sixteen as "printer's
devil in a newspaper office, he
worked his way to the editorial
chair, and was severally connected
with the most prosperous weekly (of
its time) in Connecticut, and the
first successful morning paper of
Brooklyn, n. Y, but his main i'm
pulse had always been toward the
study of medicine, and to this end
business enterprises were sacrificed
until an apprenticeship with a noted
botanical specialist, and q course of
study finishing with graduation,
found him prepared to follow out
the bent of his life to its completion.
He was among the earliest of those
who advocated the publication of
anatomical, physiological and ny
genie books for the masses, and his
success in writing interesting and
popular books has been conspicuous.
His first and bast known book, en-
titled Medical Common Sense"
reached circulation of 100000
copies, probably because of its origi-
nality and novelty in new field;
and his subsequent writings have
been mainly in the same line, "Sci-
ence in Story" having been written
for the purpose OF atiording q read
able book for children, and one
which should make plain TO their
comprehension the facts which be
considered it necessary for them to
know concerning their own bodies.
In speaking of the late Prof. j.
S. Smith, of Oxford, London, Nj
ture remarks: "It has been said
that in scientific thought, the best
and most original ideas have always
been conceived before the age of
thirty" This is probably true,
also, of the original of this portrait.
His most radical thoughts were pub
lished in his first work, written be-
fore he was twenty-nine years of
age, and though his pen is never
long idle, his first success has not
yet been equalled by subsequent
work. though his Plain Home
Talk" a revision and enlargement
of Medical Common Sense"
seems likely in time to obtain a Cir
culation rivalling that of its prede-
cessor.
In practice DR.. Foote has always
been Independent, progressive and
original, always foe of o!d-fogyism
and trade. unionism in medicine;
once disciple of the old Thomp-
sonian botanical school, as opposed !
to mineral and 6lood-letting prac-
tice. and now q staunch supporter
OF Eclecticism in all that the name
implies. He has been actively on
gagged in the practice of his profess
sion for thirty years, and as the por-
trait given herewith is from o recent
photograph, hard work appears to
agree with him, and he looks equal
to twenty years more of II.

license taxes, were never designed
to check enterprise or Cypress in

means of reaching those who pay no

cense tax upon hucksters, who
peddle from wagons or II pack, from
auctioneers who keep no property
subject to assessment, or travelling

out otherwise contributing to its
support; but for the vender of all

Mound, five large constituencies,
were wholly unrepresented, as it was
intended they should be, unless
some tool of the Ring should be
deemed necessary to give deciding
vote. As the Olympia delegates had
readily swallowed the ticket put up
for them by Arthur's oftice-holders,
they were not required and hence
the trouble of importing them was
avoided. The delegates elected to

A LOOSe.JOinted Statement.

The Seattle Herald, in an article
on" Presidential Possibilities, notes
the fact that Tilden and Hancock
seem to be the favorities of the Dem.
ocratic party, but assumes that "as
both these gentlemen failed to carry
the battle on the occasions they were
made standard bearers of the party
people are timed about betting twice
on losing horse" Surely the Her.
atd has not the audacity to affirm
that Mr.. Tilden did not receive O
quarter million majority of votes,
nor that Gen. Hancock did not hold
his competitor an even race Oh the
popular vote. If it has, it wofully
undertakes the intelligence of The
people. The respect We entertain
for the acuteness of our contempor-
airy precludes the belief that the
terms quoted above refer to the cor
dial support both OF the Democratic
candidates received from the people,
as was shown by the result at the
ballot-box. That Tilden was swim
died out of the Presidency does not
detract from the prestige of victory
which the ample majority of quar-
ter of a million carries with it, nor
does the fraudulent success of MIR.
Hayes detract from its glory, but
rather adds to its luster, when many
honest people in the Republican
party believe that the means used to
subvert the popular will are a stain
upon our national history which
can only be lessened in some degree
by his election now. The singular
unanimity of the Democrats for Mr..
Tilden, as we'll as the terror which
his name has always caused among
Republican politicians, show how
deep-seated this feeling is, and what
q mighty power it would be, if the
only obstacle to his nomination, Oh
tanning his own consent, could be re.
moved.
Adopting the "hoss" idea of the
Herald, it does not seem probable
that many shrewd judges of equine
flesh would hesitate very long to
put up money on a nag which had
come out ahead, Notwithstanding
the arbitrary rules of the turf gave
the purse to its competitor. The
G.0OO majority of the popular vote
of the nation for Gen. Hancock is
enough to claim the race on merit,
Notwithstanding constitutional forms
made it possible for majority of the
electoral college to give representa-
ton to a minority of the people. If
the Herald comedies that the people
may possibly retain a remembrance
OF the facts Of history and that they
possess sense enough to understand
the simplest proposition, its com.
ments on this subject, it must admit
on reflection, are hasty and irrele.

A Newark Lady Bed-Ridden Eight
Years.

Much interest has been manifested
among residents of Newark, N, j.,
over an alleged case of faith cure.
Mrs, Mary E. Douglass, of No, ia
Camden street, had been practically
bedridded for eight years. Inheriting
spinal disease from her mother, she al
ways had a weak back. A complica-
ton of diseases that attacked her set
tied finally in her spine, and after suf-
| fering for four years from spinal in
hammation she was finally stricken
with curvature of the spine That was
four years ago. During the last two
and half years she had liberation of
the stomach and assesses. For eight
years she had been confined to her
bed. Her left hip was drawn out of
shape and Der ankles turned as though
she were chlb-footed and her feet be-
came paralyzed. Meanwhile DR.. Ella
Haines had been attending her. Miss
Elmer and G. G. Lathrop persuaded
her to see Mrs. Baldwin, faith curer,
and that lady, with Mr.. Lathrop and
Rev. Dr. Sandford, a Congregational
minister, came to see her Mr.. Sand
ford to her until she had consented to
intrust her cure with the Lord, and
then the three knelt around her bed.
DR.. Sandford prayed. Mrs. Baldwin
pressed hard on her spine while she
too prayed, and the pain, Mrs. Doug
lass says, seemed to leave me right
away. Then the gentleman left, and

Pelted by Invisible Hands.

This city, says a Forsyth (Ga.) dis
patch, is much excited over mysterious
developments in a house three miles
out, occupied by Mrs. Sandifer and
Mrs. McAfee, two widowed sisters.
The house is continually pelted with
stones, which seem to come from no.
where. Mr.. Wiley Britt has brought
into town one of the stones which had
fallen, and which was not of a meteor
ic character. 1t was one that was ~
ing on the ground with the dirt still
adhering to it. This was one of the
largest that had fallen. 1t weighed
two pounds, and had come into the
window just before Mr.. Britt left.
A visit to the house found the ladies
at home surrounded by number of
friends, who were vainly endeavoring
to fathom the mystery. The trouble
started several days ago, when stone
fell violently upon the roof of the house.
Mrs McAfee thought it was negro
boy on the premises who had been
guilty of the deed, and reproved him
for it, but he clearly showed his inno-
cence. In a short time another fell,
and then another, and as stones kept
falling, some striking the roof, some
the side, and others dropping in the
yard. They would fall thus at inter-
walls, sometimes one, two and three.
This is kept up until midnight, when it
ceases until sunset. A thorough search
was made of the premises without
reaching a solution of the mystery. The
stones were evidently raised from the
ground around the house. Some of
them early in the morning were wet on
one side, and one had clay on it, as if
it had come out of a branch about 100
yards distant. Some people think the
stones come from the sky, but wher-
ever they come from they have set
many people to praying, and when
taken in connection with the number of
electrical girls who are coming to the
front some folks assert that the end of
the world is at hand

Skiff Voyagers.


There is anchored at the foot of Doug
las street a skiff in which DR.. Martens
and his daughter, pretty little miss of
some twelve summers, have voyaged
down from Benton. The doctor says
that his daughter is the only woman
who has made the trip from Benton to
Sioux City in an open boat. The voy
ayers started in May, but stopped in
places by the way, making an excur-
sion to Bear Paw mountains with a
view of prospecting for gold. The boat
is fitted with sail, and a tent shelter
ed the two on shore at night. The doc
tor has been in the up-river country for
thirteen years, but is going to try life
in the states now that the buffalo have
all been killed of, the steamboats, most
ly driven off by the railroads, and bust
ness along the upper river dull. He
leaves with his daughter for Chicago
to-day.
