Disease finds its easiest victims among the debil
tated, worn out and weakly and those of sensitive
stomach and poor digestion.
SANFoRDs GINGER, compounded of Imported
Ginger Choice Anomalies, and the best of French
Brandy. is a most grateful stimulant to the stom-
ach,speedily promoting digestion and assimilation
of food, and hence fortifes the system against
prostrating influences.
AS pure fruit stimulant for the aged, mentally
and physically oyerworked, for delicate females,
especially mothers, and as means of reforming
those addicted to an excessive use of alcoholic
stimuants, it is invaluable.
Never travel without SANFoRD's GINGER.
Beware of worthless "gingers," extensively urged
by mercenary druggists, and dealers on those who
call for and desire only

4 Word for Young Physicians.

think that while ii is beneficial to
young physicians to associate themselves
in business with old and confessedly able
members of the profession, it is better in
the long run to start out independently.
OF course, there is less practice; far less;
out such as there is the young man has
the proud consciousness of knowing that
he has earned it. Success is slow in COM
ing to the young physician who hangs
out his single independently, but when
It does come it is sweeter than if attained
under the sheltering wing of an elder
partner.
l think people are becoming more in
clined to engage young physicians. The
reason for this is growing belief that
young doctor has his reputation at stake
in what he does, and with this before his
eyes he is not likely to make a mistake
in the treatment of such cases as he en-
counters. A great many people suspect
opulent members sf the fraternity of Civ
ing only surface attention to them and
prefer the young, ambitious man to the
old practitioner.--A. X. Worthington,

Success Of instantaneous Photography,

Success Of instantaneous Photography,
Instantaneous photography depends
chiefly for its success upon the quick
action OF the lens. Any instrument with
proper lens and plates, willtake instanta-
neous pictures. A very elaborate and in
genious device has been invented for reg
ulating the time of exposure, even to the
1-25Oth of second; but the arrangement
in common use is simple, consisting Of
a wooden drop shutter, which falls
across the camera mouth. The compli-
Gated device is used in photographing
trotting horses, railway trains, etc. There
is certainly much to commend in anna
teur photography, for it not only fosters
q love of nature and creates taste for
art, but is productive Of something use
full. 1t is difficult to tell what proper
tons the craze will assume, but It Is Ger
tainly on the increase. BOSTON Globe.

SHALL JAMES d. FI>H BE PENSIONED' :
1t seems a little surprising that the Mayor
and Common Council have not invited the dis
tingushed Gnancicr James ID. Fish to hold u
public reception at the City Hail in the cours"
of his visit to town. 1t Is true that the ex-
president of the Marine Bank Is receiving many
attentions and hOnois. He ls lodged at lavish
expense in an elegant st of rooms III one Oi the
chief hotels of the city. and chats aflOly with
the many friends who call upon him. 1t IL re-
ported that on his journey from Auburn TO
New York hC expressed u wish To take spin III
sleigh in Central Park on Sunday. but nn-
fortunately the snowfall was not sufficient To
make good sleighng, and the former partner
Of Grant s. Ward spent the day IN the hotel
where every luxury is provided aud every wish
is promptly met. Mr.. Fish must enjoy the
contrast between the comforts and cnJpymentS
of to-day and the mcagre diet and scanty dl-
versions of Auburn. When he comes 10 New
York he has leisure, recreation ANA delicate
dishes. AZ Auburn life must scom at times Il
little sombrc and monotOnouS.
Meanwhile the puzzled depo,itorS in the
plundcred Marine Bank would like to know
the meaning of this extraordinary tenderness
and indulgence for thief who Is supposed to
be serving out sentence in IA State prison.
When Observation-Disclosures MaItino had Flsh
brought to New-York before, he was treated
wilh like libcralty. But this Is all wrong.
The hJary sc0undrel who wrecked the Marine
Bank caused untold misery and anguish and
filed the last days of Americas greatest
soldier with suffering and distress. No men Of
their time have done more nj lschef in this city
than James ID. FISH and Ferdinand Ward or
have been guilty of more infamous frauds and
thefts. Is ii lifting then that when one OF these
convicts is brought back to the scene OF his
crimes to testify in trial, he should be treated
as it he were an hOnOrcd guest OF the city, OF
stainless name and distinguished carcerl Dis
trict- Attorney MARITIME did u scandllOns and in
defensiDle thing when lie put on the taxpayers
the cost Of lodging and feeding James ID. Fish
sumptuously ut the Murray Hill Hotel, when he
testified at the trial Of Ferdinand Ward, and
| the men who are responsible for Fishs present
| luxuiions style of living should be brought ur
| with a sharp turn by our courts. III this plan
! of treating criminals is carried nuch further,
we may expect to see Fish aud Ward enter
tanned at IA public dinner at Dclm0nicO's when
| their terms Of sO-called imprisonment expire
and the accomplished Alderman from the
--th Ward will introduce Il resolution in the
| Common Council to pension them both from
| the city treasury.

RLALNE Us. GARL1ND.

The Springfield Republican was one of the
gnat- -stralniug journals during the last Presi-
Dental campaign. Now that there are we'll
grounded charges of the prostitution of public
functions to personal ends, it swallows camels
with all the appetite of boa-cOnstrictOr. For
example, it remarks:
Tnl TGIEUSE tiles recall the main charge" Of the
last campaign against Mr. BlanA not altogether with
SUCCESS not tho charge Of cUrrup ior, hut the
Charge Of fasehoOd aud Of statements irrccOnciable
with each other, which destroy ed Mr. Blaine. Mr. Gar
land from the and befoIe any publicity attached to
the matter declined to act Ia the rleI hone SUITS and
requested his colleague, the SOcitorGonoral to take
entire charge OF the matter Mr.. Garands story Is
ec and consistent AMI he has uniformly declined
act in the matter Official capacity directly
directly.
SO Mr.. Blaine was not charged with cOrrup-
ton, but only with falschOod The allies in
that campaign of defamation did not impcach
his integrity and honor as apubllc man who
had held important trusts. Oh, no J that was
not the charge His enemies ransacked the
Mulligan letters not for the purpose of proving
that he was yenal and corrupt and too dishonest
to be elected President, Tut merely to illustrate
his mendacity!
And as for Attorney General Garland, what o

THE HARLEM BRIDGE CONTRACT ILLEGAL
1t will be an objectionable outrage on the
taxpayers of this city If the Harlem River
Bridge job ia permitted to succeed. THE 'fRiB
USE his shown undisputed facts which place it
in the category of indefensiblc schemes to di-
vert public funds for private benefit. The
bridge is not needed and is intended chiefly TO
raise the value of building lots along the Har-
lem to maze few rich men richer. The act
under which the Commissioners are proceeding
was rushed through the Legislature by an un-
savOry politician and it left the largest oppOr-
tunitics for jObbrry. The Commissioners,
Jacob Lorillard. Vernon ii. Brown and David
James King, are carrying out the plan in most
unwholesOme fashion; in the face of public
protest and OF the condemnation of the citys
law officer they have hal the eifrontery to exc
cute Il contract in which the city s just rights
are flagrantly disrcgardcd.
Even now it is not too late to put a stop to
this reckless piece of jobbery. The man who
can do this denounced the job in the strongest
terms a few months ago. That man is Mayor
Grace If he chooses to put out his hand, he
can remove this wrongful burden from the
peODle We call his attention to the language
quoted this morning in our news columns from
Corporation Counsel LacDmbe: "There is
grave doubt in my mind of the legality of this
contract" Mr.. LacOmbe cannot properly take
the initiative. But il is emphatically Mayor
Graces duty to ask the Counsel to the Corpora
ton what he means. The taxpayers are
threatened with most mschievous scheme
which the Controller strongly condemns and
the city's legal adviser inIimates would be held
by the courts to be illegal. Now will the Mayor
maintain his attitude of languld Indifference,
or will he do tho honest, manly thing and
spare the people this additional burden7
Pending Mr.. Grace's decision on this point,
the Legislature can come to the aid of the tax
payers. These Commissioners refuse the public
all information as to what they are about.
Perhaps if the Assembly should empower the
Committee on Cities to sit in NewY next
Saturday and ask the Commissioners a few
| questions the people might at least learn
where the money is to go and why such an
amazing contract was signed when contractors
