A Yankee Doctor In PARIS

When Professor Frank Billings sailed
for France with the children from this
city who We're treated by NJ. Pasteur, he
exhibited a lementable ignorance Of the
French language to the passengers and
officers of the steamship Canada. In
Paris he was likewise ignorant, and Pas.
teur was somewhat surprised that sci.
enlist should have been chosen TO &C.
company the expedition who could not
converse with him without an inter.
prefer. He would have been more sur.
prised bad he followed DIR. Billings home
and heard him converse in elegant and
mastery French with Mrs. Billings, who
is a native-born French woman. In fact,
the professor kept it mighty quiet In
Paris that he was a finished French
scholar.
He had a laudable object in view in
assuming ignorance. He went to Paris
to learn something, and knowing that
the Frenchmen are jealous of their Sc.
crets he wisely concluded that he could
learn more by listening than by asking
questions. The ruse was successful, and
he came back the possessor of q great
deal more information about viruses
than NJ. Pasteur is aware or. In fact, he
discovered some facts not yet known &c

Senator German, and his followers
have certainly shown their hands in
the late bill before the Legislature to
lease the canal to a syndicate for
railroad. We always claimed that
Germans whole object was to ruin
the canal. He first robbed it of all
it's earnings and then endeavored to
have bill passed by the legislature
by which he and few others could
get hold of the canal for nothing,
and use its banks for railroad. A
holder scheme of highway robbery
was never before known in the his.
tory of this State. And although
the bill is defeated by the Senate
and the robbers are checked, it is
only for a time. The barnacle Cor
man and his blood-sucking vampires,
have their fangs still fastened upon
this great highway and will never
rest, until they have sucked its en-
tire lfe's-blood. Nothing is likely to
be done in the way of a lease or sale
Of the canal until the next meeting
OF the Legislature two years hence.
In that time the canal will be drag
ged along in the same old rut of the
last ten years, as German and his
parasites will see that it gets but
little traffic, and no work will be
done on it, so that the end of two
years it will be in such a deplorable
condition that the State will be will.
ing to give 1t away. While if it was
taken out of the hands of these men
at once, it could be made paying
highway to the people OF the State.
Will our people never learn that
Germans whole object is for himself
alone, even though he has to starye
the masses to accomplish that end.

QUlPPUS.

/ Have you ever noticed an absent
minded person make a knot in his
handkerchief, or tie bit of thread
on his finger, to remind him OF some.
thing The great and highly civiliz-
ed nation of Peru, ruled by the
Yncas. and often called the Ynca
Indians, was found to nse knots tied
in WOODEN strings, as memorizers.
The only books in the royal Libraries
and treausuries of the Yncas were
fiimsy pieces of worsted work. The
WOODEN strings, made from the fieeces
of llamas and alpacas, were dyed
with different colors, and the knots
were of several different kinds. SO
that the system was not easy to use,
and special chiefs or historians were
employed to make and read them.
1t was their duty to commit to men,
DRY the facts and figures to which
the knots and the colors referred.
Men were chosen who had great
memories naturally, and constant
practice made them marvels of
exactness. A simple glance at such
string would enable them to rattle
off long accounts of taxes paid and
taxes due. of tribute from conquered
tribes given and still to come, of
embassies from other natioSs and of
wars made and treaties concluded.
Although used chiefly in affairs of
taxes, we can hardly doubt that now
and then great pieces of news, like
an earthquake, or an invasion of
pirates, or the death of a Ynca, or
the arrival of white men wearing
boards and impenetrable clothes
made of dark metal, would be tied
into these curious memorials. They
were called quippus, and it is said
that they are still IN use among
tribes of the Audes mountains. The
old quippus Of the Yncas have not
all been lost !; but / fear that no In
dian now lives who can explain just
what the knots and colors mean

PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS.

Probably no concern in the coun-
try has adhered more strictly to the
determination to achieve success BY
the liberal use of printers ink than
has the Brown Chemical Company,
of Baltimore, Md. Starting business
about five years ago, they have ex-
pended over 81, $780, 900 in the prepa-
ration and circulation of printed
matter, more than half of which has
been paid for newspaper advertising.
All this has been done to make
known the virtues of their celebrat-
ed Browns Iron Bitters.
AS might be expected, very large
sales have resulted from this enor-
nous outlay. In fact, Browns Iron
Bitters is about as staple in many
drug stores as is -four at the corner
grocery. Like all good things,
Browns Iron Bitters has been large
ly initiated. There are INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers who cater to just
this sort of trade, and some dealers
are so lacking in principle, that be-
cause a greater profit can be made
on fraudulent than on genuine med
icines, they are willing to delude the
public by pushing off Iron Tonic
Bitters and other Tonic Medicines
in place of the genuine Browns Iron
Bitters, which is undonbte ally one of
the purest and best medicines known.
These frauds have been practiced so
extensively, that the Company, find
ing all other means inadequate, have
at last determined to try little
cold law to put stop to them.
Suits for heavy damages have there
fore been commenced against Fred
erick Stearns & Co., Detroit, Mich,
who are known as the Non Secret
Medicine Manufacturers, for selling
Iron Tonic Bitters; against Meyer
Bros. & Co., of st. Louis, Wholesale
Druggists, for selling Browns Iron
Tonic, prepared by G. J. Lincoln,
Little Rock, Ark, and against Jas.
A. Dickson, druggist in Balti-
more, for selling Iron Tonic Bitters
with his name upon the label, which
medicine was made by Koshland,
Hollander & Co., of that city, and
also claimed as an imitation. We
wish the Brown Chemical Company
every success in these suits. as it is
high time those who have pluck
enough to carry large enterprises
such as theirs to success, should be
protected from these who live not by
their own genius and effort, but by
copying and counterfeiting things
that have been made standard and
valuable by others.

The following chestnut we believe
is Of the Gallo origin Jones and bis
son were bargaining for map OF
Austria at a booksellers. To assure
himselfofits accuracy, Jones, junior,
tried to fiud Moscow. Jones, senior,
assisted him in this hopeless task.
Al the end Of five minutes Jones,
junior, i'll despair was about to throw
the map aside as worthless, when his
father was suddenly inspired: No
wonder you can't find it-you forget
that Moscow was burned.v

If your avocations are mentally or physi-
cally laborious, if they subject you TO expos
ure in inclement weather, if they confine you
to the desk, and are of a nature to involve
wear and tear of the brain, and nervous strain,
you may occasionally require some renovat-
ing tonic. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
article for you, it stimulates the falling ener-
giles, inyigorates the body and cheers the mind.
1t enables the system to throw off the debili-
tating effects of undue fatigue, gives renewed
vigor to the organs of digestion. arouses the
liver when inactive, which 1t very often is
with people whose pursuits are sedentary, re-

healthful repose. Its ingredients are safe, and
its credentials, which consist in the hearty en-
dorsement of persons of every class of society
are most convincing. Admirably is it adapt
ed to the medical wants of workers.

SERVANTS OF THE ARIsrocRAcY.

some of the Observations Made by Badcau
"A Labyrinth of Labor.
In great house thirty or forty indoor
servants is a common number, and often
here are as many more in the stables.
and still as many others in the gardens,
or the glass, as the Conservatives are
called. One noblenan whom / knew
was master of the hounds and kept sew
snty horses, and for every two horses
man. At an entertainment in the coun-
ry-a sort of pageant or play heard
some one say that 100 of the servants
,ame into the great hall and stood behind
he guests. The remainder were on duty
elsewhere. Several times, in large estab-
Iishments, asked permission to visit the
offices; and the kitchens and stin rooms
and sculleFies, the larders and laundries,
The gun-rooms and plate-rooms and
brushing rooms, the housekeeper's room,
the pantries, and the servants hall, made
labyrinth of labor difficult to explore.
In making the rounds was taken to
the nurseries and the school-rooms, for
tutors and goyernesses are only higher
sort of servant in England. They live
and eat apart from the gentry, and often
get less wages than Wallets and ladies'
maids. saw, too, the bedrooms where
the maids were making up clothes, all
rising when their mistress entered.
visited the stables and the carpenters
shop, even the butchery and the brewery
for many of the large proprietors kill
their own meat and brew their own beer
Each servant is allowed beer money, as
well as wages. or else supplied with so
many glasses, or sometimes literally
horns of beer,
Usually the servants of the aris-
tocracy are allowed five meals a day.
Their early breakfast is at z, before the
family has risen; there is lunch for them
at II, dinner at / o'clock, tea at 9, and
supper at 8. At most of these meals
meats are provided, and at two or three
of them beer is served. The food is well
cooked and savory; they sit down to
soup and pastry, to fruits and vegetable
in their season; and altogether a table is
spread better than many Of what is
called the middle class can afford. In
deed, servants in England can hardly be
said to belong to the lower class-cer-
tainly not the retainers of the aristoe-
racy. The attendance in the servants
hall is excellent, decorum is maintained,
and the more punctilious perform among
themselves many of the ceremonies they
have watched from behind the chair1 of
the nobility.-Adam Badeau's Letter.
