We offer noHpology for devoting so much time
and attention to this much neglected class OF
diseases, believing that no condition OF human
lty Is too wretched to merit the ympathy and
best services of the profession to which we be
long, as many are innocent sufferers, and that
the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is nc less a
Philanthrophist and n benefactor to his race
than the surgeon or physician who by close APP
Plication excels IN any other branch A. of his pro-
fession. And, fortunately for humanity the day
condemned the victims of folly or crime, like
the lepers under the Jewish law to die uncared
Tor, has passed away.

Big Holders of Bank Stock.

august Belmont" recently remarked
an old Wall street man, lis one of the
largest holders of bank stock, and having
good opportunity Of learning values he
has made fine investments He has been
in successful business for half century
and has made an immense fortune, and
yet you never see his name among real es-
tate buyers, nor is he found in the rail-
road market. On the other hand, being q
banker himself. he knows that it pays
well. and he therefore puts his money in
this shape. A few years ago the public was
astonished to learn that he owned half
million in one bank-this fact having
been revealed in the course of an investi-
cation, and it is now supposed that he
has several millions thus invested. The
Astors also hold heavy amounts Of bank
stock. Old John Jacob, who died forty
years ago, was one of the largest share
holders in the Bank of America and the
Manhattan company, and the family has
been increasing this investment ever
since. The Havemeyers are large bank
in this city which have lived on bank
dividends for half century. and the old
bank of New York can give some figures
of still greater antiquity.
On the other hand. 4. 7. Stewart. not
withstanding his millions, held but little
bank stock. his preference being real es
tate. One can very easily see the reason
of this. Stewart was always watching
his clerks to keep them from stealing, and
he knew that bank clerks have an equal
opportunity. His caution. therefore. led
him to invest in real estate Morgan. on
the other hand, carried on business in
which thieving is impossible. and he got
SO used to trusting clerks that he had no
suspicion Of bank troubles. Percy r.
Pyne. president of the City bank. is very
extensive owner of bank property He
inherited his present Office from his father
in-law. the late Moses Taylor. who left
twenty millions. Taylor, like Morgan. IN
CURED no risks from clerks, and therefore
was buyer of bank stocks. 1t will be
generally found that leading commercial
men naturally prefer bank shares. while

Quired to watch their employees, invest III

BLUE GROTTO OF CAPRI.
Nothing Like 1t Elsewhere in the World.
An Indescribable Scene.

Nothing Like 1t Elsewhere in the World.
An Indescribabie Scene.
The inhabitants of Capri say that their
island is built upon grottoes and supported by
natural arches like the structures Of men.
This is perhaps an exaggeration, but all
along the rocky shores there are beautiful
grottoes and in the center ofthe island do
scent may be made for hundreds Of feet into
the bowels of the earth in the Grotto Of the
Stalactites The sea grottoes we visit in
making the "giro," or circuit Of the island,
which is All excursion that brings the traveller
into contact with some of the rarest effects Of
natural scenery known Nowhere in the
world is there aught resembling the famous
Blue grotto of the island Of Capri
The entrance to the Blue grotto, situated in
the rocky cliff which faces the north at the
western extremity of the island, is perhaps
three feet in height and not more than five in
width. When the sea is high it cannot be en-
tered at all The marinaro who conducts the
party through this aperture-and there must
be but three in the boat-has all that he can
do TO effect an entrance without having hi8
frail craft dashed in pieces. The visitors are
obliged TO lie upon their backs III the bottom
of the boat, while the marinaro, taking ed
vantage of the wave as it rises, and holding
on to the rock, guides her by dexterous
shove into the cavern Here for moment
the eyes are dazzled by a strange light but
soon they accommodate themselves to it, and
then the visitor finds himself in lake OF linn
pid water, whose blue is that Of the sky, and
whose sheen is that Of molten silver. The ef-
feet is indescribabla Objects dipped in the
water, the boat and oars are covered with
this silvery sheen, while the marinaro who
plunges in for the amusement Of visitors,
rises clad in a garment of flashing light The
whole extent of the grotto is 100 feet by IFS,
and the roof OF ribbed and groined natural
arches shares the blue effulgence of the water
beneath
Besides the Blue grotto of Capri there arc
along its coasts a series Of others, each Of
which seems TO take the blue waters of the
Mediterranean and convert them into O tint
peculiar to itself The Green groeto on the
south side Of the island, with its waters Of the
purest emerald hue, ranks next in beauty to
the Blue grotto. 1t can, however, be entered
without difficulty through lofty archway,
and the effect, though grand and beautiful,
is not marvellous. There is the White grotto,
where the water seems like milk, and the Red
grosto where the roof is spangled with red
crystals in the limestone rock There is also
the Grotso of Ferns. and along the shore as
well as in the center of the island are grotroas
where in some places the crystal stelectises
hang like great pointed columns and in
others like a delicate fringe above the Wis
itors head-Aary z Vandyns in HArperis
