A Pleasant Custom Of Merry En-
gland Revived.
The SENTINEL takes pleasure in publish
ing the following readable paragraph from
al occasional correspondent:
Mr.. EDITOR: 1 see that the Cornishman
Of a late issue announced that guise dane
ing had been resumed. IL was formerly
the custom in Cornwall, England, during
the two weeks following Christmas, for
men who were so inclined, to mask and as
sumo fantastic garbs of every description.
Thus attired they were wont to visit fam
lilies in their neighborhood and fill the air
with holiday songs. They were, as a rule,
invited in to partake of such fare as the
house afforded. 1t sometimes happened
that the master of the dwelling was not at
home and the mistress, frightened by their
startling aspect, would meet them with Q
battle end Of q broom. This was rare, and
there were houses, the occupants of which
were noted for their hospitality, and who,
revering the time-honered custom, opened
wide their doors to welcome the merry
maskers. The guise dancers were often
accomplished singers and excellent per-
formers on various Instruments. 1t was Q
delightful treat to listen to the harmony OF
ten or twelve such voices rendering elo-
quent carols in the depth of night. Where
they we're received as they deserved, they
made the house glad with music, quaint,
and rich. Mine host who knew how to
treat them would descend into his we'll
stored cellar and set before his jovial
guests the choicest wines, and liquors mel
lowed with age. Egg flip and s~henegrum,
also, were presented for the relish of the
guIse dancers, who drank often to the
health of the generous host, and were not
allowed to depart before the night had
been well spent in festival and song.

Charles Angelo, q young Italian convict
in the State Prison, has just had four
years added TO his term of confinement for
making an unsuccessful attempt to break
Jail. The next time that fellow makes q
leap for liberty he will be a dangerous man
to his keepers. That he will try again to
escape. when an opportunity occurs to
make q break, there is hardly any doubt.
The penalty in cases Of jsil-breaking does
not act as q restraint. The human and
sensible thing to do when q prisoner gets
loose and is caught is to put him back in
prison and say nothing about it; but above
all, prisoners should be so guarded as to
render their escape impossible.

One Hundred Miles am Hour.

An English scientific paper thinks that
the highest speed practicable for light
railroad trains is 10 miles per hour. II
adds: The road from New York to Phila.
delphia is almost level the whole way, and
if a speed of 80 miles kept up for an hour
is possible anywhere it would be on that
line; but even in that case it would be
necessary to run over parts of the road at
a speed of about 100 miles, which, rightly
or wrongly, has been regarded as the
limit, for at higher speeds the driver and
stoker would find it not an easy matter to
breathe,

A REMARKABLE CURE.

We clip the following from the
MERRIAM Owls. Leader of June Is,
1884. CDR. Fishblatt, of GAINESVILLE
was called in consultation, in the case
of L. B. johnson, Postmaster at Msr-
rilan, whom he found in a critical
condition, having been given up as
hopeless by his family physician, DIR.
Hamilton who has held several coun-
sells with eminent PHYSICIANS from
Chicago, who gave Mr.. johnson
only short time to live.
DR.. Fishblatt took the case un-
der his care, and all who have known
Mr.. johnson for the past FIVE years
can see a wonderful change in him
since DIR Fishblatt treated him, and
the doctor should be entitled to some
credit in the matter from an "aln ost
wish l was dead" man. Mr.. John.
son has been brought in few months
to be nearly as vigorous as ever he
was" Such a testimonial must in
deed be gratifying to DR.. Fishblatt.
But this is only one of the many cures
he is constantly performing. His rep
utation as a skillful physician is beyond
doubt, and We are pleased to make
note of his continued success in his
chosen profession Daily Recorder,
j GAINESVILLE, Wis, June IT.
