ORIGINALITY.
II Is This That We Are Indebted for the
Present Condition Of American Civilizs-

u Is This That We Are Indebted for tho
tien.
There is q constant complaint of old
fogyism in the medical profession. 1t
learns slowly. distressingly SO. The
lack of original thought and that rest
less activity of inquiring and executive
genius which in other callings is termed
enterprise, has long been noticed and
lamented in the learned professions.
There is seductive charm about old
theories and methods which too often
enslaves the professional man through
his prejudices, and binding him to the
imperfect past, forbids both his own
development and that of the sciences
and civilization with which he has to
do. In the midst of this general fixed
ness and long-established unquestion-
ing conformity to rules and usages, an
original and independent mind occa-
sionally flashes its thought, and con-
verts the seemingly impossible into the
most beneficial utility. 1t leads pro-
gress against the opposition of matured
prejudice, the world unbounded egot-
ism and the proverbial apathy of man
kind. Undismayed by such discour-
agements, it maintains the remem-
brance of the worlds progress in the
past, and centers its energies upon
making a like advance in the future
Such minds scarcely recognize that
there are impossibilities. Untram-
meled by the conclusions of others,
they penetrate mysteries; study the
laws of nature; formulate theories
and demonstrate their falsity or
practicability; originate new appli-
cations of old principles, and
accurate application of new ones,
and proceed patiently and labori-
ously in the development of the latent
forces of nature, science and mechan-
ism, until there are none to dispute the
actual accomplishment of great results
to the world. Whatever progress our
race has made it owes to the indepen-
dence, great natural endowments,
studiousness and energy of such minds.
From the science of government down
to the minute details of human life this
is true. Independent thinkers and
brave actors have evolved the best svs-
TENS of government from original
chaos, and later crude notions; they
have exploded false theories, made in
novation upon primitive practices and
instituted perfection in the place of
erroneous conception and faulty execu-
ton in science, mechanics, social, re-
lgious and political economy, and in
the discharge of all the duties devolv-
ing upon men. 1t is to such minds as
have devised free government, Invested
religion of useless, irksome detail and
embarrassing sacrifice, perfected edu-
cational systems, given us the locomo-
tive and the throbbing telegraph; and
made civilization pulsate, as if with I'M
natural excitement, by the grand har-
vest of discovery and invention, that
we are indebted for the glow of our
present American civilization. Minds
like these never conclude their studious
research for knowledge; they are as
ceaselessly active as the heart in its
hfe-giving pulsations, and grasp the
improbable with an energy that sur
mounts difficulties and conquers oppo-
sition. Western Rural.

He Is subsequently Tanned by . Small
Cashier.
An atmosphere of peace and quiet
pervaded Hitchcock's, the Delmonico's
of Park Row, at midnight, and various
car drivers, printers, newsvendors and
night hawks were partaking of coffee
and beef and beans in serenity and con-
tentment A very tall, very heavy and
very gaudy gentleman, with big plaid
trousers. big diamond, silk hat and
shiny boots entered, sat down at a
table, and called for beef and beans,
coffee and two pieces of pie. These he
consumed, and then he dropped into q
gentle doze over his toothpick. A
waiter observed his slumber and tapped
him on the shoulder.
This amt no BEDROOM the waiter
said.
The gaudy gentleman was so sur
prised that he failed to find his voice
for several seconds. Then he uttered
a tremendous oath, that caused timid
man at the next table to spill his
coffee.

he shouted to the waiter. you've

clean out this place it's your fault.
You begun it. Can'ta gentleman close
his eyes after his dinner without being
insulted?"
The gaudy gentleman arose with a
terrible glare in his eye, and walked
up to the table where the timid man
sat. He thumped the table with his
fist and said in an aggressive tone:
I'm sleeping lion"
Eyes, SIR" responded the timid man,
very meekly.
The gaudy gentleman walked to an
other table where three men were de-
vouring beef and beans.

that you wanted to get into q row. he
inquired.

politely.
He returned to the timid man and
said:
I'm sleeping lion, I tell you, and
Tn worth $3.50, 000."
Eyes, SIR" responded the timid man,
humbly.
Then the gaudy gentleman walked
up to the cashiers desk and threw
down his thirty-cent check and sill

Five cents more" said the little
cashier, quietly:
Five cents more, eh?" sneered the
gaudy gentleman. .'Well, twenty-five
cents is all you'll get
Five cents more" repeated the
small cashier. in the same tone.
That's all you'll GET" said the
gaudy gentleman, pointing to the
quarter.
.'Are you going to give me that five
cents?" inquired the small cashier,
grimly.
''How many times dye want me to
tell you that / hahn 'tp'' responded the
gaudy gentleman. 'sYou take that
quarter or nothing I'm an old sport,
I am"
The small cashier bounded over the
counter, seized the gaudy' gentleman
by the throat and drew back his fist.

man, meekly. whats the use OF

cashier. still holding the gaudy gentle
man by the throat.
The gaudy gentleman went down
into his vest and produced nickel.
The small cashier let go of his throat
and returned behind his counter, while
shout arose from all the tables:
.'Oh, give the lion back his five

The sleeping lion hastily climbed up
the stairs into the street without look.
