The Berliners are greatly exercised over
the person of an American whom they
! contemptuously nickname -the Rag Doc
tor,n but whom they envy most cordially.
According to Berlin reports, this individ
ual is neither more nor less than an Amer
lean physician to whom the government
hat Washington has intrusted the import
ant charge of overseeing the disinfection
of all the rags exported from Europe ~
to the United States. His stamp alone
will allow them 20 Land on American soil
According to the same rumor, he is be-
lieved to receive the round salary of $50 90
from his government, besides fee Of 65
pfennigs from the exporter Of every bale
of rags he inspects, the daily number OF
which is computed at about 400! This
and the salary together would give the
rag doctor an annual income almost
equal 10 that of the president. 1t seems
remarkable that thus far little or nothing
has been heard of anxious competitors for
so snug berth.-Foreign Letter.

Cheap Novel Publishing in England.

The following communication from a
London publisher 10 The Anthen8um de
scibes substantially the overdone coudi-
tion of cheap novel publishing in this

appearing something like three or four a
day. When good story does happen to
make a stir, it is now promptly choked
out of existence by Gnother treading too
closely upon it heels, and that in turn dies
before well born. Because a story is
startling in situation, is told in a certain
number of pages, aud is sold for shnl-
ing, the belief is widespread that gigan.
tic fortune follows. MSS. from un-
trained hands keep pouring in, but proba
bly, not one shilling story in every dozen
that sees the light pays its expenses. The
boOkstalls will not hold them. the reputa
ton Of the publisher is being ruined by
them, and the public is sick of them.-Ex-

NATURAL INTUITION.
A Power Given to Some and Withheld from
Others.

Though not among the three things which
Solomon admitted that he did not know,
intuition is and always will be secret and
mysterious thing. 1t is gift, just as much
as the power of poetry, and you may as
well attempt to manufacture poet out of
ordinary clay as TO educate man who has
not the gift of intuition to be diagnostic
physician.
This wonderful gift of diognosis-more
than his study or eXperence-accounts for
DIR. Albert's success. He is able to tell at
once just what is the matter with man,
and very often the real trouble is found to
be something that other physicians had not
dreamed of. Frequently by simple and cor
rect treatment he cures patients who have
been treated for years for diseases from
which they were not suffering.

public inspection and to be sworn to by
the druggist himself. All venders of
liquors must keep their windows unob-
structed by window blinds, screens and
other contrivances. or be convicted for
misdemeanor.
1t can scarcely be maintained that Mr..
Curriers' bill is not sufficiently stringent
in its provisions; but it has yet to be
proven that the people of the State want
a license law of any kind. On the con-
trary. those who are most familiar with
public sentiment-not the sentiment of
the sympathizers with the traffic, but of
the people as whole-are well aware
that the present law in its general char
acter is what is wanted. 1t is quite likely
that the law as it stands can be improv-
ed; but its aim and operation are right.
The adoption of license would be radi-
cal change, and the arguments for it are
weak in comparison with those which
may be advanced for the continuation of
the current arrangement.
At the same time it is not to be denied
that very many honest and well-meaning
persons. whose attitude grows out of A
sincere desire to further curtail the rum
traffic, are inclined to favor license
law as the best means to that end. 1t
therefore behOoves the legislature tomake
the present law more effectve.i if possible.
and to do nothing which shall ALLEVIATE
from its support the better class of citi-
lenS.

TWAS EVER Thus

From the Middlebury Register, March %, 1857
The mud "term" has set in vigorously
ana more than ever the demand for bet
ter walks is appreciated. There is no
reason why thorough and complete
system Of Improvement in our sidewalks
should not be made. The cost will be
triiling in comparison with the benefits
which the village will derive in reputa-
ton, plcaSantness and comfort. We
really hope our trustees will vindicate
their character as prudent, sagacious and
energetic men by attending to this mat
ter as soon as the season will permit.
There is no walk worth the name from
the village to the depot. Every stranger
who arrives must therefore get an opin-
ION OF our town not very favorable at
tins season and which will be sure to
stick to him for all time. With the
pleasantest situation and environs in the
country it is shame to us that this mat
ter of public walks has not commanded
more attention.

OUR SCHOOL s.

Innumcrable bills intended to tinker
up the school system of the State in one
or another of its departments have been
introduced in the Senate and House thi,
session. Each of them doubtless posses
ses some degree of merit. but none covers
very broad ground, and if all of them
were to become laws the effect would be
only to further complicate things which
need simplifying more than anything
else. The bill submitted by Mr.. Marsh
OF Woodstock in the House is designed
to take the place of all of them. He
proposes that the governor appoint Il
commission of five suitable persons. who
shall look into the workings of the pres
ent school system; take into cOnsidera-
ton the condition of and character of
the work done by the normal schools as
now conducted, enquire as to how text
books may best be selected and put into
the hands of the scholars, and, in short,
prepare comprehensive statement of
the needs of the schools of the State
and report to the Legislature of 1883.
The only conceivable objection to this
plan is the delay necessitated under it;
but this disappears when it is taken into
account that the current arrangements
respecting textbooks and the normal
schools do not end till after the next ses-
sion; and the defects in these are those
which deserve the chief attention of the
legislature. Mr.. Marsh's bill provides
for just what is required and it ought to
