a Man who Removes skin Blemishes With
white-Hot Platinum.
A man with q small mole on his chin
climbed up the stoop Of a doctors office in a
New York street not long ago.

when a Young doctor came out and asked
him what the matter was.
Step right in, and I'll do it" the doctor
responded, as he reached for a large mahog-
any box containing a polished electrical
uachine, with insulated wire running from
u e battery to q neat carved handle. The
Soctor sat the patient down in an easy chair,
threw his head back and dressed the mole

ally benumbed the hesh until it was robbed
of all seusiriveneSs. Then the doctor fitted
up q tiny strip of platinum into the handle
and turned on the full force of the battery.
The platinum was aglow with a pure white
heat in q txinkfDg. The doctor drew it
slowly and carefully through the mole as if
be were using a razor blade. The patient
felt the glow Of the intense heat through his
cheek. but the burning away of the mole was
as painless as it was rapid. When a sooth-
ing salye had been applied the doctor sent
the patient away happy. He told him that
in less than q month the wound would heal
without leaving q scar.
"Few Of the public know Of the process,
although it is simply an elaboration Of the
one used to remove cancers and similar
growths on the neck and body. 1t is said
that ladies who would otherwise be f~aultless

ANATIONAL TELEGRPH.

The New York Sun has this to
say as to the new powers with
which some of our statesmen pro-
pose to clothe the general govern
ment. The logic is sound, the in
ferences clearly drawn and the Sun
in this shines for all:
lit is impossible to say whether the
tendency toward Capitalization, which
set in so powerfully with the beginning
of the civil war, has yet become ex-
hausted or whether it may not yet take
the enormous stride forward which Mr.
Field proposes, and buy out the tele-
graphs, the savings banks, and whatever
else can be proftably sold to it, accord
ing to the plan of some Of our statemen
and of MI Field. We trust, however,
that such will not be the case. This
plan is radically hostile to democracy;
it aims to increase immensely the power
of government and the interference Of
government in the business of the citi-
zen. Its first effect would also be to
confirm and prolong the tenure of power
in the party in possession at the time the
transfer should be made. It would tend
to convert our rulers, now happily tenn
porary and subject to be changed by the
people, into permanent rulers superior to
the people by virtue of the varied and in
finitely radiated machinery confided to
their hands. With the telegraph in its
control, the administration would pos
sess the srcrets of the country; its agents
wonld be distributed in every hamlet
as they are now by virtue of the post Of
| flee cstablishment-bu they would be
/ brought into much more intimate rela-
/ tons with the people than they have ev-
| er yet attained. 1t would, in our judg-
! ment be an unfortunate day for the
prospects of democracy if the govern
ment should become the monopolist of
the telegraph.

month after month pockets his losses

Ii is the foulest blot on the bright
escutcbeon of free south to-day;
let us cut out the plague spot our
selves without waiting for the knife

Therefore we urge on all mem
bers of congress from the south to
see that Senator Wilson's bill, which
makes newspapers containing lottery
advertisements unavailable, is pass
ed. 1t strikes at the root of the
evil The government cannot crush
the institution beca use it is charter
sd by the state, the post office de-
partment has declared it fraudulent,
and will not deliver TO it registered
letters and postal fuuds-but ma
tional banks do not hesitate to re-
ceive stolen goods, and the Infamous
traffic still goes on. Newspapers
print denunciatory editorials, but
continue to spread flaming advertise
ments, and in this coquette with
God and mammon. Now let con-
gress act-let newspapers which
poison the mind and are servants to
thieves be classed as ''obscene litera-
ture" and be thrown out as too foul
for the government to handle-iet
their editors see themselves as 9TH
ers see them. All honor to the
Philadelphia Times which takes no
part in the plumber and witholds not
the truth ! If at last we must look
to the stranger for cure we desire
no kinder hand than that of the ed
itor of the Times.

LOTTERIES AND THE MAILS.


Those who are not in condition to
acquire special knowledge on The
subject have little idea of the enor-
nous Dimensions to which the Loui-
siana State lottery has grown. 1t
is now a great polypus which stretch
es its feeders iuto every neighbor-
hood in the south, IL draws from
pockets alIeady attenuated the last
dime, it sapS the business life of the
country, produces habits Of listless
hope and indolent expectancy, sub
sidizes press and people and lays
upon all the fatal incubus of a blind
faith in chance and lazy waiting
''for something to turn up" Not even
Italy itself can furnish a better ex-
ample of the evils of such condition
than New Orleans. IL that great
city of the south two of our best
men are filling their pocheta with
fraudulent gains drawn from the
hard won earnings 81 the poor
two men who should stand as limits
set on high plares are misleading
the people for whom. they fought;
three national banks advertise them

and the high officials Of the state
are elected by the influence of the
thieves. Let tie present condition
of New Orleans where murderers
go unwhipt of justice, where streets
are foul as those of Turkish cities,
police inefficient and magistrates in
league with hoodiums-point the
moral and show the retribulion
which awaits those who keep the Ie-
gal code as to outer dish and plat
ter, but leave foul the practice in
contempt of the moral code.
To us who know how each month
the little earnings of the poor go to
swell the fraudulent gains of such
an enterprise, the bill lately intro
duced by Senator Wilson seems to
be the curative measure long need
ed-the surgeons knife laid at the
root of foul disease For the post
master general may prohibit the pas

the mails without effect so long as

advertisements to our people. a
convenient go-between can always
be appointed, and those who do not
read moral editorials in which Beau
regard and Early are compared 20
Belisarius, see day after day how
much is won, but can know little of
how much is lost. The man who
wins ten dollars trumpets his good
fortune to the four winds; he who
has lost one hundred by piecemeal
