The Province Of jenkins.

The jenkins journals are accountable
for much of the bad fame that Manhat-
tan enjoys as a plutocracy. jenkins
himself in his multifarious personality
has little sense and no discrimination;
and often lacks honesty. Whatever he
chronicles he wishes to represent as the
best, so that downright vulgarity, con-
temptible sham and positive baseness
are made to appear identical with in.
nate refinement, genuine merit and hon.
in his column of The festivities of the
man or that woman. put forward as
fashionable, although they. are not rep
utable, as Jenkins himself knows. Adj
venturers and adventuresses are por.
trayed as leaders of good society, as
centers of attraction, as most estimable
gentlemen and ladies. Nothing can be
much falser or more ridiculous than the
so-called social department of various
weeklies. Their stories are perfectly
transparent 70 the initiated, but to
the outsider they have an air of verify.
OF course such questionable characters
cultivate jenkins, and in some way or
other make it his interest to giorify them
at the expense of truth, and often of de-
cency. ...-.--.
Indeed, jenkins may be called the
-varnisher of worn regulations and the
toutor for discredited circles. He plies
his vocation industriously, and exhausts
supurlatives in describing persons and
things the very reverse of what they
are. As he is generally Son more or
less intimate terms with the persons he
so falsely eulogizes, he may after awhile
grow to believe that they are what he
represents them. There are. Of course,
Jenkinses and Jenkinses; those belong.

Is the Age OF Miracles Pasts

Facts such as are of an incontrovertible
character evidence that healers of ills and
ailments have existed at all times, and proof
is positive that the same power which permits
pain and physical weakness among humanity
gives to man the power to alleviate it.
We read of numerous cases " herein cures of
seemingly miraculous character have

present day. 1t was by mere chance that
day or two ago a scribe of the third estate

In tho early days of the Christian era it
was well-established fact that the laying on
of hands cured the diseases then most preva-
lent. The herb doctors, who for years after
entered tho area of medica, were not then
known. Following them came the schools Of
medicine, the allopath, the homeopathic, the
eclectic, and all the 'pathos," but against tho
era of adventures of the old, old practice of
laying on of hands, as performed by the
ancients, still holds prominent part in the
feelings of Intelligent people.
1t is eNemplfed every day by the divine
injunction that the fittest survives, 80 in wild
life we see that the superior stag survives the
weak. We SEQ the same in the American
bison; again is it illustrated in the game
birds of the country, and the same rule
applies to mankind.
So is the strength of man supercharged
with animal magnetism able to cope with a
disease; so is no able to surcharge the body of
one weak with that life giving magnetism,
that power that strength that through i'll
health or otherwise they have lost.
Prof. A, j. Dexter does that. He furnishes
from the batteries that nature and health
have given him human electric fluid that
revivGs the weak cures the sick, and fur
nishos life invigoratOr TO the dying His
system of treatment is nothing but the laying
on of hands by man superior in manhood
to those debilitated by disease,

The Wonder of the Nineteenth Century.

The Florida Tropical Paradise, March 81, 1883.
Among the men who have made name for
themselves by their own personal exertions
we wish to mention the name of Prof. A. J..
Dexter. This gentleman has thoroughly
earned the right to be called u self. made man.
1t is true that he has been endowed with
gifts and powers that are possessed only in q
limited extent by very few, but the fact that
he has put these gifts to use that has proved
of tho greatest benefit to his fellow men en-
titled him to an additional amount of respect,
His career has been q checkered and interest
ing one, but the suns and winters that have
come and gone since his boyhood days have
only given him additional strength to per-
form the work in which he is engaged.
His apartments at 81 Laura streets arc
fitted up in cosy and comfortable manner,
and they are daily througed by people who
are afflicted by the many ills to which hui
manity is hoir. 1t is an interesting sight to
drop in there some fine morning and watch
the throngs of people who are continually
coming and going. Old time-worn men, upon
whose heads the frosts of many winners have
fallen, and whose locks have been silvered
with the impress of age, slowly and painfully
drag their aching limbs up the stairs;
old ladies, upon whose once beau
tiful faces disease has ponciled many q
distinct line, and the brightness and sparkle
Of whose eyes have been dimmed by suffer-
ing; young men and maidens from all over
the state, whose physicians have long since
given up their cases; middle aged people,
who have considered their cases hopeless for
years, and who had accepted the burdens
which disease had imposed upon them as a
visitation at the hands of Providence are
among those who arc daily to be seen in his
reception room awaiting treatment, aud it is
no less interesting to watch their faces as
they come from the operating room. The
woe-begone expression has entirely disap-
peared. Hope has unfurled her banner,
and once more the future has brightness
about it that the sufferer never expected.
Already the effect of his simple and wonder
full treatment has begun to be felt, and in or
binary cases few days suflices to accomplish
that which physicians have failed to perform
in years. There is no question but what
Prof Dexter has cured many incurable dis
cases. and many o man and woman who has
patiently suffered what must have been q
