Medical IgnOramuSes.

The eyes of all the world have been
directed to the case of Gen. Grant. 1t
will very seriously impair public con-
fidence in medical science and skill.
At the same time it will encourage
afflicted people not to abandon hope
Of life because the most learned doc
tors pronounce their malady incurable.
When their doctors give them up
they need not give up themselves.
That is the moral of Gen. Grant s
case. 1t encourages the sick and
suffering to hope Tor recovery from
their disease, however sad the croak-
ings of their medical advisers, provid-
ed they have the constitution to re-
cover from their doctors and the good
fortune to escape "heroic treatment. ="
DR.. Fordyce Barker, one of the con-
sulting physicians, still adheres TO the
cancer theory. But it is in the teeth
of other medical opinion and is rcfuted
by the fact that Gen. Grant is recover
ing rapidly. 1t is not feature of
cancer that as soon as doctoring
ceases cOnvalescence begins.
The learned doctors who hacked
and tortured poor Garfield to get out
of the front of his body IA bullet which
had buried IN his back and released
itself, kept persisting that the lead
had in some mysterious manner found

The Mlsused ii OF England.

There seems no room for doubling
that the disease had its origin in
London. Walker speaks of it as special
ly prevalent in London In his day, and
even now it is more common in the
pure cockney dialect (the most hate
full form of the English language i'm
existence) than anywhere in England.
Moreover, its prevalence IN other
places than London is greater or less
accordingly rs such places are nearer
or father from the metropolis. We
find no trace of it in Cornwall or
Wales; very little In Cumberland,
Northumberland, and Yorkshire. In
the midland counties it is less COM
mon than in the southern. 1t is at it's
maximum in the heart of London. In
this respect it is like the v-and-w ma
lady, which, even at it's height Git has
now nearly died OuD, was never SO
metropolis; though of course, like all
metropolitan defects, it spread in
greater or less degrees over the whole
country.
This being the case, we are justified
in assuming that the disease had at
first that form which is characteristic
of the faults of language found at great
centers of population, and especially
in the chief city of the nation. If you
wish to hear French clipped and slurr-
ed you should go to Paris, and German
suffers like treatment in Vienna and
Berlin. 1t is the same with English
in London. In a great and busy city,
men shorten their words and sentences
as much as possible, being assured
that what they say will be understood,
because all speak the same language
and adopt the same convenient abbre-
viauons. Thus. just as in Paris cette
femme becomes cite fine, and VOLTA ce
que c'eSt becomes V'La c. q c. est. so in
London CGty Bank become, CV B'dk,
haltpenny is abridged first TO ha'penny
and then to hapny or 'apny. Omnibus
is shortened into bus; everyone in it
addresses the conductor as 'ductOr; the
conductor shortens the cry of all right
into RI, announces the threepenny fare
as M,Tp1aS, and so forth. In fact, it.
may be laid down as a general pro-
position that, although a language be-
comes modified in provincial places
and in colonies, it is only in busy cities,
and chiefly in capital cities, that a
language is modified by clipping and
slurring. May Atidntic.

its way from his groin, where their
wonderful skill had mislocated it.
"Throw physic to the dogs!" was
the exclamation of Macbeth. Probably
If all the physic the cancer-credulous
doctors gave to Gen. Grant had been
thrown to the dogs and all their heroic
treatment had been practiscd on cats
the distinguished patient would before
now have been driving in the Park
and indulging in the luxury of
Reina Victoria.
The whole of this prolonged case Is
anything but creditable to medical
science. We cannot forget that at
consultation Gen. Grant barely escap-
ed by his physical weakness from q
painful and terrible surgical operation
for cancer, which would have left him
speechless for the rest of his life, and
it is now acknowledged by some of
these same experts that his is not q
case of cancer at all.
However, If our confidence in the
doctors has been impaired, our fear of
cancer has also been shaken. 1t is
not within the power of the physicians
to tell us how many cases of so-called
cancer have been heroically treated to
death, which, had they been as pub
licly watched as this, might have turn
ed out to be simple cases of liberated
throat. t..-NeaO York Worid.

Bad Results of Over Reading.

Over-reading, as well as over-study,
is one of the evils of modern educa-
ton. The evil has been commented
en- by educators for many years past,
but the multiplicity of books and their
growing cheapness stand in the way
of any permanent remedy. OF course
it goes without saying that reading IN
itself is not only harmless, but most
beneficial. But children too often read
so much that they fail to assmilate
what they read, and thus the exercise
is dead loss. Much fun has been
made of "the man of one book" but
he possessed ut least the virtue of know
ing one book thoroughly-a virtue
which many modern readers 90 not
possess. If school children were
taught to read less and think more it
would be a gain all around. Louis

Italian Degeneracy.

Italian Degeneracy.
The Italian workman in his native
land is a simple, honest person, who
will do his work conscientiously and
well. If, however, he emigrates to
this country and lives here for any
length of time he becomes demoral-
lied. He is unwilling to work except
at the highest attainable wages, and
he loses his habit of conscientious,
faithful labor.
OF this painful degeneracy the case
of Mr.. Dominica Spade affords striking
evidence. An Italian resident of this
city, desiring to have his son-in-law
stabbed, applied to Mr.. Spade, who
has the reputation of being a skillful
workman, to execute the job. In
| Naples no honest man would have the
impudence to ask more than $40 for
SO simple an act as the stabbing of
another man in the same rank of life.
Mr.. Spade, however, had resided for
some time in this country, and instead
of charging for any specified job its
fair value he preferred to charge the
highest possible price. He actually
demanded $1,000 for killing a single
son-in-law, and when he was indig-
nantly called an extortioner he cyni-
cally admitted the fact. After much
bargaining, however, he finally low
cred his demand, and consented to
perform the job for $780, his employer
to furnish the tools. There is no pos
sible defense for such conduct. Mr..
Spade knew that he was charging an
extortionate price, and that nothing
but the necessities of his employer
could induce the latter to give his con-
sent Even at this stage of the affair
Mr.. Spade showed that he had no con-
science, and n little later he showed
that he had no sense of shame.
After taking the $500 and new
knife. Mr.. Spade was bound by every
sentiment of honor and decency to go
and kill the man. His employer had
put full confidence in him, and unless
full confidence can always exist be-
tween employers and bravos the trade
of the latter must at no distant day
prove failure. Instead of justifying
this confidence by stabbing the son-ln-
law in workman-like way, Mr.. Spade
actually went to him and agreed
doubtless for consideratiOn--not to
stab him. Worse than all, Mr.. Spade
went 1urCner anu betrayed MS GILL
ployer-an act that, had it been COM
mitted in Naples, would have caused
his expulsion from the CamOrra and
made him the scorn of every honor
able bravo.
Very likely Mr.. Spade has benefited
his pocket by coming to America, but
in common with many of his fellow
immigrants, he has uuquestionably
lowered his moral tone. lie is an ex-
tortioner, for he demanded $1,000 for
job that he knew was not intrinsically
worth more than $40; and he is dis
honest man, for he failed to do his
duty and he betrayed his employer.
Perhaps he is now priding himself on
his superiority rs money maker to
the modest Cammorista of Naples, but
the day will come when this extortioner
and traitor Will envy the calm con
science of the humble and happy Neo-
politan, who is contented with fee OF
$40 and who faithfully stabs the man
whom he has been hired to stab. -NeU

Montana Cattle Winterlng Well.


MILES CITY, Mont, Jan. 2.-The snow in
eastern Montana, particularly along the
Yellowstone, is light. We have had nothing
to prevent cattle from getting plenty of feed.
We have complete reports and can say posi-
lively that stock is not suffering in any man
ner whatever. Cattle men are well pleased
with the outlook, and say the same of the
Little Missouri, Powder, Tongue and Rose
bud valleys, also of the district northwest of
here towards the Muskelshell. Tae recent
cold weather came on gradually, beginning
the last week in November. The change was
not sudden, and therefore stock was not
affected by it 10 any extent worth mention
ing. Cattle went into the winter in excel
lent condition, and it would be hard to
imagine better outlook than we have now
for stock to stand hard winter if it comes.
We are enioying the Chinook breezes and
their moderating effects. Prospects are very
favorable.

put his mouth close TO the scribe's ear, and
whispered:

'Yes, all of them, nearly hire their china
for such occasions. You see at some recep-
tions, such as those given by the cabinet Of

we get paid for all that and charge q percen-

given in Washington where there is not hired
china on the table. It's cheaper to hire than
to own. Some people put away their light
fancy china on such occasions because 1t is
too expensive TO have broken and hard to re-
place. Others don't have 1t. WHAT we hire
is nice china, but as / said, Is plain white.
We seldom hire any other kind, and when
we do, 1t Is never the same set twice.
