have finished feeding, wash off the

Hat Brin,s and Eyes.


A philosophical work recently pub
lished, in dealing with the science of
optics, would appear to justify the
oriental nations and the Greeks for
avoiding the adoption of brims to
their head-dresses. 1t has always
seemed strange to the people OF
Western Europe that in countries
where the sun sends down IN intense
glare hat and cap brims should not

first oculfsts is here presented that
shades injure the sight instead of
strengthening; that even where the
rye is infiamctl-a common case in
Egypt-a shade would only add to
the inflammation. 1--WE have heard
it stated" says the autDsr, Gus u
curious fact, that when the English
army returned from Egypt those
soldiers were tho least affected by
ophtlIllmia who had worn no shouts
to their hats. The eyes evidently re.
quire to be played on by free cir
culation of air: and, therefore, broad
brimmed hats may be said to be any,
thing but protectors to the organs
of visions. for the heat radiates from
the ground more than from the sun
overhead" This reasoning may ap-
ply to eastern countries, according
tothe Hatter's Gazette, but in this
latitude it is SO seldom we have to
complain Of the heat of the surface
of the earth that brims are in no dan
ger. Summer straw hats are espec-
ially advantageous in warding off,
by their broad brims. while su6sprv-
ing this purpose, protect the coun-
tenance from ruddincss and freckles.

"sss.erls.r'." Q..r, cs,... c.-.s;,t.


As our readers will remember, a
letter was published in our columns
a few days hgo, signed Subscriber"
which dwelt at some length upon o
subject Of general interest, and which
contained several inquiries which will
be found answered in the following:
To the Editor:-Several days agoI
noticed q communication in your
paper from Subscriber" in which
considerable comment was INDUCED
in concerning the pamphlets which
IRE widely distributed by Messrs. H.
II. Warner & Co., of Rochester, N.
Y. These pamphlets, as is we'll
known, are published in order that
the public may become conversant
with the symptoms and growth of
disease peculiar to the Kidneys, and
which is, it must be admitted,
the productive cause, in q
majority of instances, of other
organic disorders. The pub
fishers of these pamphlets are also
the discoveries and manufacturersof
the noted Warmers Safe Cure, which
is known to be the only means for the
prevention and cure of kidney dis
ease, as con be testified to in every
community. In the pamphlets re-
ferred to there appear q number of
testimonials from parties who sneak
in the highest terms of how they
have in many instances been restored
to health by Warmers Snfe Cure, aft
or having been given up by doctors to
die, and attached to those statements
arc the fac simile signatures of the
parties themselves.
l am personally aware that all the
testimonials published by this firm
are genuine and are the voluntary
statements of persons who arc anx-
ious to manifest their gratitude
for the unexpected return of
health and vigor which Warmers
Safe Cure has brought them. To
make assurance doubly sure, it can
he added that Messrs H. H. Warner
4 Co., have for years, published u
standing offer of 5000 to any one
who will prove to an impartial ref
cree that any testimonial published
by them is not, SO far as they know.
bona fide and absolutely true.
What more does Subscriber" desire
to convince him, in addition to his
own statement, that his neighbors
,,ll tell him that Warmers Safe Cure
has done more good for them than
they have received from the doctors.
In view, Mr.. Editor, of the many
persons who are sacrificed daily to
the bigotry and ignorance of physi-
clans who persist in treating patients
for symptoms. called consumption,
apoplcXy, brain troubles. and nerv-
GUS disorders, when the real cause is
disease of the kidneys-which should
he detected and quickly eradicated
by the Use of Warmers Safe Cure-I
maintain that the value of those
pamphlets, which place in the hands
of the public the means of knowing
the truth, cannot be overestimated.

tact that his accounts as marshal ere
still unsettled, and that suit against him
by the United States for about $4,000 il
now pending in the court in this district.
While it is probably no fault of Judge
Morrison's that these matters have not
been settled before now, as the deficiency
arose from disallOwanoes of sums charged
for, yet the government will not appoint
any one to an important Office whose ac-
counts in previous office are not adj
justed. Before leaving Washington Gov.
Prince used his best efforts to secure
another position for Mr.. Morrison, but
was met with this same difficulty as to
the suit now pending. 1t is believed,
however, that this will be arranged very
shortly, as every one is anxious to recog-
Mise the services OF Mr.. Morrison in the
late campaign.
