THE widow Uf the late President Gar
field, in a private letter to Mr.. C. o.
Rockwell, speaking of the report of her
approaching marriage, says: "Tbis cruel
rumOr, which seems to have been afioat
for two or three months, did not reach
me until three days ago. Nothing that
has ever been said about me has so hurt
and offended me as this, and the deepest
humiliation is that so many are ready tC
believe it. To me it seems just as much
an insult to be asked whether it is true
as it would be were the dear general still
here. That any one can think me capa-
BILE of being false to his memory seems
like being regarded criminal A dignitied
denial by my friends 1 suppose can do
no harm. Still it hurts me to feel that
any denial is needed"

THE disease with which General Grant
is afflicted reLdrrs the statement of any
duly recognized authority upon the sub
ject a matter of current interest. Dr.
Whitehead, President of the Manchester
England Medical Society. on the fourth
of February, upon his induction to the
chair and in accordance with the first
duty of newly elected President, deliv>
cred discourse "On the means of pro
noting the intentions of the Society and
the general advancement of medical
knowledge" In this address the speaker
asserts that cancer has been silently and
steadily increasing and destroying, dur
ing the past half century. without any
prominent action having been taken by
the Society, either to admit the fact or
stem its progress. The subject is one
which, unless it very materially alters
its aspect, must before long become one
of the most important questions of this
generation. The death of 10000 head of
cattle is considered by Great Britain a
sufficient cause TO institute Royal Com
mission, whilst the reports that $4,000
human beings die in one year from can
Ger is read without even srresting atten-
ticn. Dr. Whitehead forced the truth
hone that, considering the little real
knowledge of the Society. respecting the
origin and essential nature of this dis
ease, the causes that have contributed to
its progress, and the failure of all RENE
dies that have been tried to restrain it,
must strike every intelligent mind as
fitting matter for the serious and defib>
crate consideration, both of the public
and the medical profession.
During the year 1s49, the first year
when cancer was specialized in the re-
ports. 4,sO7 persons perished in England
and Wales from cancer. In considering
these numbers. DR.. Whitehead pointed
out the in,pO'tan' fact that it is only
within the past lev 4rdrs the classiica>
tion of cancer in these returns has ap-
preached anything like accuracy. Dur
ing the last ten years the death rate from
cancer has advanced 80 per cent. In
lS49. the proportion of the deaths due to
cancer was l in 80; in 1851. in 10; 1870,
in SO; 1880, in 40; 1882, in SO.
There are twice as many females die
from cancer as males, and the number
of deaths among men is year by year in
creasing in very much greater proper
tion than among women. The excessive
death roll from cancer is found in damp
and fiat districts that lie low, where
there is less emigration of population
than in manufacturing centres, and |
where, in consequence, there is more in>
termsrrying. ut is also to be remarked"
says DR.. Whitehead, "that those countries
where the death rate from phthisis and |
scrofula is high, that from cancer is ex>
cessive; but it is still more significant to
note that whilst the deaths from phthisis |
are diminishing year by year, those from |
cancer are rapidly increasing"

Excursion Rout BOOK.

The Pennsylvania Summer Excursion
Rout Book :cr this season hes on our Ia
BILE. II is marvellous production of tabu-
lar statements OF time and excursion rate
data. In this day OF railroad transit a
mans education is not complete if he has
failed TO acqlaint himself with the great
railroad avenues of travel. Such infOrmi-
;ion is of more practical importance to him
than to learn many OF the things that mosey
is expended for, to acquire a knowledge
Of The book gives the names OF railroads,
excursion routs Of travel and rates, and the
names OF su.nmer resorts with historical
sketches Of scenes, towns, mountlias and
plains, and with the book are three maps
that should be IN the pos rsiOn of every
tourist, Traveller, excuSionist 1ad studcat.
1t is a book that all people can consult with
E4..asure and profit. How tourist or one
who contemplatss taking an excursion can
do without it, since they know d its pubii-
cation. is a question that is better guessed
ct than understood.

A Macedonia Snake.

Emery McCanen, the en;crpris,ng lum-
herman, who operates IN tbs classical re-
gion OF Macedonia gap in Shade mountain
about four miles northwest vi this place
was in town last Friday and in 4 friendly
cOnveIS alton with MIR. Hughes Oh the Fran
ciscus hardware store, made mention OF the
charming solitude of the Macedonia region,
as numbering facilities its advantages IS a
picnic resort, and its wild aud pnmeyal state
wherein the wild cat, the deer, bear, and
wild turkey yet abound. He incidenily re
marked that he would send Hughes token
or remIldcr of the Wilderness of the noun
tain by presenting him with a handsome,
eignt year old rattl c snake that he had cap
tured the day before. Hughes was de-
lighted, 'io, - said he, ''lii show my friends
what a nice necklace a rattle will mske."
McCahen had not heard thai Hughes was a
charmer. but he thought By the way he
talked that perhaps he could put spell on
the spotted rafting reptile that he sent 10
the store OF Saturday morning. 1t was con-
sternation present, not quit 50 un~ieldy as
an elephant but infinitely more dangerous
and calculated to draw the small boy as sue
cessfully as if a circus had come to town. All
day long people visited the hardware store,
even the ladies began TO ask whether they
could 90 and see NJ. HagheS' snake. The
reptile was :uil of fight and frequently bang
ed its head against the screen that had been
put on one side of the box in which it had
been placed. 1t kept up its Striking demo-
strations through the day with such a per-
sistency that some OF the visitors might in
their teasing freaks bre ak the box and then,
what might take place? A number of sports
men had assembled to practice at marx
shooting in the yard back OF the drug store .
s.Why not have the sharp-shopters pop the
head of the snake thought Hughes"
That's SO said a friend, and the box with
the snake WAS taken over among the
marksmen. A good marksman said he
could shoot it if it would put its
head out OF the box. A hole was
made in one corner OF the cage.
The reptiia responded finely and thrust its
head out in fins fighting style, but the gilt
ter snaky eyes, aud the motion of its fork
quivering tongue un-nerved the sportsmea
and they missed the snake every time. Ev-
erybody was in suspense, the snake would
get out. The climax was reached by
Hughes striking it with a club After it
was dead, and hung up by the tail, the
marksmen could shoot 1t every pop. dc
Cahen might send scme other curiosity
from the wids of Macedonia TOR 4 Atm of

Pens and Ink Worth Recon-

The celebrated Spencerian Double Elastic
Steel Pens. aud after trying them ieei jusu-
he'd In highly commenting them TO our rea-
ders. They are made OF the best steel, and
by the most expert wOrkmen, and have a
national reputation for certain desirable
qualities which no other pens seem to pos
seas In so great perfection. Among these
are uniform evenness OF point, durability,
fexibility, and quill action. So popular
have they become, that of the .'Number
One" alone, as many as fourteen millions
are sold annually.
Complaints are constantly made Of The
difficulty in Ceiling good ink. Probably, in
some cases, the durability Of the ink is Of

an inferior ink is commonly usei, the re-

The Spencerian Writing Fluid combines,
IN high degree, three essential qualities,
