A FIy-Haunted Town.

The wall of King -Choo-Foo is creme
lated forty feet high on the outside
in certain places, but on the inside
sloping and covered with Jungle
growth of bamboo, banyan. and other
shrubs to the very top. At intervals
of every few hundred yards along it is
small smooth-bore cannon of remark
ably peaceful aspect. No doves were
discovered building their nests therein,
but in my mile walk along the parapet
numerous litters of pacific pigs were
seen doing in the very openings of the
crennelles. Not soldier was observed
in making the circuit of this ancient
and formidable fortiication, the drag
on-gnarded yamin of the Taotai had
hy-haunted, somnolent air, in the
streets business proceeded lazily, and
over all the grove-like openings of the
capital city the very spirit of summer
peace and quiet seemed to hold its be-
neticent reign. Our cortege, with
which we made the circuit, was COM
posed of scarcely more than dozen
aimless hoodlums and inquisitive ur.
chins. and we left the place impressed
with the idea that if the inhabitants
thought OF danger from the French it
was still as an intangible effort Of the
imagination-as something so far OF
as scarcely to be considered, or if con-
sidered, amply provided against.

from the pulpit that man is not his own,
but that he is bought with price. This
is true, also, from q secular standpoint.
The obligations Of wealth and position are
greater than are those OF men who are
poor and of little personal influence. Of
those to whom much is given will much be
required. Hence. it will be seen, those
who are rich and powerful are to greater
degree servants than the men in their EN-.
ploy, and so far as all civil, legal and So
cial rights are concerned, the two are
equal. II it be admitted that their work
men are their servants it must be con-
ceded, il connection with this, that they
are also servants to their men. They must
render to them that which is their right.
They must not only pay them but they
must render them that service which all cit
izens owe to all other citizens.
Mainly, the solution Of labor problems
lies with the two contracting parties-the
employer and his men. II they treat each
, other with fairness and justice-if the en-
ployer is honest and honorable and cour-
teous and the workmen also exhibits these
qualities there will be no need Of interfer.
ence by third party. Each mus,
recognize the rights and manhood Of the
other, and the one must recognize and the
other maintain the dignity Of labor. A
million books may be printed on the labor
problem and yet what they would contain
could no doubt be boiled down to q terse
! and not very long sentence embodying the
representation Of equal and exact and
mutual justice to each Of the two classes
which are the main and principal factors
to the problem.

There Is brass plate in Mark
Twain house on which is engraved
the sentence, 1.-The ornament of house
is the friends who frequent it," 1t sur
prised me to find such a sentence, even
though on brass, in such quarter. Its
grammatical construction may not be
deemed absolutely incorrect by some;
1t evidently Was not by Mark Twain;
but it is decidedly clumsy and harsh to
the ear, even if it does not violate,
which doubt, some express rule of
grammar. As the art of constructing
sentences properly is one of no mean
importance to writers and speakers,
would ask, does not the harshness
arise from endeavoring to make one
verb do duty for both the singular and
plural nounP The ornament is the
friends; the friends is the ornament.
Or, does not the clumsiness arise from
making the singular noun occupy q
plural position, thus expressing a rela-
tionship beyond its capacity to bcarP
This would not be the ease had the sem
tence been, "rhe ornaments are the
friends" which could be transferred to
The friends are the ornaments. But

mails for MelanchoILa.

There is a peculiar hospital on Cal
lowhill street, visit to which amply
rewards curiosity or q desire to obtain
knowledge Of an uncommon kind. 1t
Is no more or less than q cat and dog
hospital, but. strangely enough, the in
mates do not lead "a cat and dog life. {"
Mutual sufierings and infirmities seem
to have sedative effect, and these pro-
verbal enemies lie down together even
as the lion and the lamb. and take their
medicine with good grace. The place
is conducted by DR.. Robert j. Janvier,
who devotes his whole time and atten-
ton to the treatment OF canine and fe-
line diseases. The doctor is an old
practitioner, and is acquainted with all
the ills to which cat and dog flesh is
heir to.
A regular physician, he retired from
practice about twenty years ago in
Paris, and devoted himself to the study
OF animal maladies. He came to Phil
adelphia about six years ago and estab-
lished his dog hospital, which he has
made q success.
A reporter visited the place yester-
day, and was shown around by the doe
tor and treated to some novel sights.
The rear of the house is well ventilated
and lighted and partitioned off by fence
like gates, making about thirteen small
apartments, which can be thrown into
one by the removal Of tho gates. In
each OF these rooms, or wards, as the
chooses TO call them,
are from one to five cats or dogs.
Misery makes strange bedfellows, and
1t is by no means unusual to place cat
and dog or two cats and one dog to-
gether. Indeed, the doctor says this
arrangement is frequently the best, and
more conducive to the health Of the pa
tient.
'For example," he said to the News
inspector. "here are dog and cat
They hsvo been living together for

Neuralsss Of the Face.

Capt. John Orr, Pearlington, Miss, ha:
t,cen a most intense sufferer from facial
.,euralgia ior over twenty years. He has
tad seventeen operations performed on
ne nerves--that is, had them divided, cut
1T close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
wished for death TO relieve him OF the In.
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
% relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERuNA, and
IN less than month was entirely relieved
of the pain. Before consulting these doc.
tors Che least touch to any part Of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear Of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth kenner,oS Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one OF the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia OF the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard of. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
we'll as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERUNA
