"Police" a New Word ia 1863.

The word police has made many bold
attempts to get a footing. I have seen
it more than once strongly recon-
mended in the papers, but as neither
the word nor the thing itself are 1is7
much understood in London, fancy it
will require a considerable time to
bring it into fashion; perhaps from an
aversion to the French; from whom
this word is borrowed; and something,
under the name of police, being
already established in Scotland, En-
glish prejudice will not soon be recon
ciled to it. Not long ago, at bagnio
in Convent Garden, on my complains
ing of some imposition, ] was told by
fair North Briton that it was the
regular established police of the house.
This. l own. is the only time have
heard it used in polite company; nor do
| believe it has yet made any consider
able progress, except in the news
papers, beyond the purlieus of CoVent
Garden. Economy. patriotism, ade-
qnateness, privilege. and few other
such words, have lately had their run,
but now we hear no more of them. I
should not wonder, however, if in a
months time they should all come
about again in rotation at the polite
end Of the town. British Magazine,

A Common-sense Letter.
Ercha,s0e.


To TIE EDITOR: see that newspaper
articles are again making their appearance
calling attention to matters pertaining to
health as well as to the means whereby dis
ease may be removed and good health pre-
served. I am thereby reminded that have
received from time to time, pamphlet publ
cations issued by the well-known firm of a.
H.Warner's & Co., which dwell upon the his
tory and growth of kidney diseases; show
ing how such is the cause of consumption,
heart, brain and nervous disorders, which
can only 0e successfully treated by remov-
ing the primary disease from the kidneys
At the same time care is taken to remind
the reader that Warmers Safe Cure is the
only means whereby the physician or the in
dividual can successfully prevent and cure
this class of disease
Whilst have personal cause to feel CRATE
full to Warmers Safe Cure, for the benefit
which derived from it when suffering from
kidney troubles last spring, can not see,
since that remedy is already so well known
In every household, why the parties inter-
ested in its manufacture should continue to
expend money in calling attention to what
the public already knows so well. am
aware, Mr.. Editor, that the members of the
medical profession are seldom disposed to
6A'o uuo CIou1b w proprietary moQEl0eS,
but public confidence is likely to be even
more shaken in those learned gentlemen
since the startling disclosures in the Robin
son poisoning cases were made in Somer-
vile, Mass.
Here it was discovered, through the ef-
forts OF an insurance company, that eight
cases OF. death from arsenical poisoning had
occurred-seven Of them in one family, and
within five years and the other that of q
relative-wherein the true cause of death
had not been even suspected by prominent
physicians who were in attendance, but who
treated the cases for other causes, and
finally, when death occurred, issued certifi-
Gates for such causes as pneumonia, typhoid
fever, meningitis, etc.
After such an evidence of the utter in
competency Of those physicians who were
regarded as experts in their profession, I
can not conceive why it will be longer nee
essary for further advertising to be done in
behalf OF Warmers Safe Cure, since I deem
the Somerville disclosure to be the best pos
slble endorsement of the good sense mani
tested by those who take matters of health
In their own hands and use remedy which
experience has shown to be fully adapted
for the purposes intended, instead of trust
ing themselves in experimental hands.

LONG-TAlLED SAINTS,

How Apes Are Worshiped in Some Por-
tions of India.
! The European residents of British
India are often astounded at the alb
surdities of idol worship which the
Brahmins continue to enforce even
upon the more intelligent classes of
the natives; but the most preposter-
Gus of those superstitions certainly
seem the worship of three or four doz-
en- varieties of miscellaneous apes. Some
OF those long-tailed .demigods are re-
vered merely as distant relatives of the
monkey-saint Hannman, while others
(the Entellus ape, for instance, and
the Rhesus Macacus) are considered
so ineffably holy that their murder
| would be worse than homicide; and in
the consciousness Of their inviolable
sanctity the objects of that worship
consequently recognize no human
rights which a four-handed saint is
obliged to respect. They enter store
houses in broad daytime, and must be
tolerated in Difference to the preiu-
dices of the natives; though if their
movements are not constantly watched
they are sure to utilize their business
opportunities with the celebrity of
New York alderman. In orchards
their depredations are limited only by
the capacity of their paunches; but no
orthodox Hindoo ever expels them by
direct force, and he seems to consider
it a fair compromise if he can manage
to gather twenty per cent. share of
his own crop. There are special in
Primaries devoted to the relief of de-
crepit four-handers; and the testimony
OF hundreds of intelligent foreigners
has established the fact that during
various famines, that almost depopu-
lated the villages of the afflicted dis
tzicts, those monkey hospitals were
supplied with an abundance of food;
and a starving true-believer would
mitigate his distress byrobbing tenn
pie as soon as by touching the stores
collected for the support of his sacred
long-tails brakes Magazine.
