TIM skating-rink craze has had its
rise and fall, and now the strike craze
is with us. The former was harmless,
with results financially good to those
who managed them. The latter can
result in no amount of good to CAPT
talists or Knights of Labor. Time
lost, money ill-spent; idleness brought
to the doors of those who most need
occupation. The third craze is the
Salvation Army, 1t is needless to
say that not much good or harm will
result from this craze. We are sure
no interests will suffer materially
from this aggregation of cranks.

PowDERIEY, chief monkey-monk,
of the Knights of Labor, has called a
halt, in regard to strikes. Powderley's
head is level, because he sees the folly
of labor kicking against capital, and
says that other tactics will be taken
up. The Knights must either submit
to Powderley's demands or else lose
their chief. The whole country asks
for peace, and all go to work.

EVEN Senator Ingalls, speech is not
without alloy. The Stalwart Republi-
cans thoroughly enjoyed his merciless
attack upon the Mugwumps, but when
he pronounced himself an offensive
partisan and said that every self
respecting Republican ought to resign
from Office now that a Democratic
President was in, the noise of a falling
feather would have sounded like a
cannon shot in the dubious calm that
followed. It was very funny-funnier
than the Stalwarts thought at the
time, and it keeps getting funnier
every minute.-1imes.
After reading the above it does
seem funny, and will continue so fol
several long months.

sIAMEsE MEDICAL SCIENCE.



The Siamese, according to an &C.
count lately given by DR.. Z. A.
Surge, regarged all nature as composed
Of four elemcnts--earth, water, fire
and wind. These same elements ARE
supposed to make up the human body,
which is composed Of twenty kinds of
earth, twelve kinds If water, six kinds
of wind, and four kinds Of fire. The
body is divided into thirty-two parts,
such as the skin, heart, lungs, etc. 1t
is thought to be subject to ninety-slx
diseases, due to the disarrangement Of
its elements. Too much fire causes
fevers, an excess of water produces
dropsies, earth gives riss to disease by
invisible and impalpable mists and
vapors, and wind can cause all manner
Of complaints.
While almost everything is used a.
medicine, the bones and skins Of vAri-
Gus animals, and the gals Of snakes,
tigers, lizards, etc., are favorite reme-
dies. Burnt human bones, powdered
and mixed with alum, are used on
ulcers; the eye-teeth Of various AMI.
mals-such as bears, tigers and lions
ground up together, form the favor
ite curative for fevers; and the ashes
of earth worms and human hair, mixed
with cocosnut oil, are often employed
for cuts. The Siamese know little of
anatomy. They are not aware that
the heart is connected with the circu-
lation, but suppose that organ to be
about the size Of m almond, and to be
cavity filled with a fluid which
changes color and consistency with our
passions.

fwsshington Letter 70 the world

81 fWsshington Letter TO the wor'd.l
Ben Holladay, one of the most
famous Of the Pos'ofiice mail contrac-
tors in the past, appears before Con-
gress this winter again as a claimant
for three hundred aud twenty odd
thousand dollars. Mr. Holladay has
been claimant before Congress for
the past fifteen years He is one of
the hest known figures at the Capitol
He 10 over five feet ten in height and
10 we'll rounded and stout. He has
very black eyes, . dropping, large
nose. under which hangs long pair
of snowy white moustaches, and long
chin beard. The sides Of his face are
fresh colored and clean shaven. His
hair is thick and quite gray. He
dresses in . striking manner. He is
fond OF ruffied shirtA, snowy diamond
pins. fur-trimmed overcoa,s, well
breshed silk hats, plaid trousers and
patent.leather boots. He is not a
poverty-stricken claimant by any
means. ae has moderate fortune
and lives in u LIBERAL way. He will be
seen nearly every morning during the
Congressional session driving up tn
the Capitol in a close coupe behind a
very good horse. He has several mar
ried children and number Of hand.
some small children Of his own by n
second very good looking and attrac.
tive wife He is Que Of the privileged
characters about the Senate. He has
had for a number of years the free run
of the Senate cloak-ruoms, where he
has amused the Senators by his racy
accounts Of early pioneer life in the
west. Mr.. Holladay was the founder
OF the first overland line Of stages. Il
was he who established the pony ex-
rrees. His claims relate to some u;i
settled accounts that he has had with
the Postofflco Department. A mao
who has been contractor under the
government and who has claim of
any kind is fair target for derisive
attack; but some of the best men in
the Senate, notably Roscoe Conkling,
have stood up for Mr.. Holladay in the
past, and it is therefore proper to infer
that there is equity in his claim, al
though people may differ as to the
amount which is due. 1t is not prob
able that the claim will be settled by
Congress at least. There are too many
new men in the House to whom Mr..
Holladay is thoroughly unknown. The
fact that he is u contractor and clai-
mant would be enough to defeat him
by an .helming vote.

Franklin was cultivated in the old

very fond Of making comparisons be-

products of his farm sent to Washing

CLEAN with joy, while smile of salts
