There are many cases where fetid catarrh
has done its destroying work in the nasal
passages, poisoning the breath. running the
senses of smell and taste. and perceptibly

this has, perhaps, bees, very generally. dis
cussed. but the very frequent effect OF ca
tarrh of the nose and throat upon the hear
ing has not been touched upon as often as
the subject warrants.
A very little study Of anatomy will show
the reader that the junction of the back
passage of the nose and the uppe parts OF
the throat is cor .ectcd with the ear by a
minute and delicate passage known as the
Eustachian tube. Along this tube the ca
tarrhal process extends. producing conges-
ton and infiamr,atiOI. By the further ex-
tension of this pGOces7 TO the mucous lining
of the tympaeun OF he ear is caused in
some eases slight foTGs 20 catarrh IN the

Partial or complete deafness may In like
manner result frO,a the swollen, thickened
tissue encroaching upen the mouth of the

Partial or complete deafness may result
from catarrhal interference with the nasal
breathing, depriviDg the ear of a proper
supply of pure air, or from the effects OF
obstruction In the nasal passages. causing
undue ratification or condensation OF the
air in the middle ear.
In such cases as these, general remedies,
which are often prescribed. prove compare

could be attended with more disastrous re-
suits than unskilIful local treatmens-com-

the trouble to the hearing.

Will Not Work Without Money.

MT. Earl wrItes That, as the state Officers reruso
to pay the expenses of the Livestock sanitaryCom-
mission and Of the State Veterinary Surgeon, the
commission is unable totake any action In leases Of
reported diseases of horsesand cattle. Thisleaves
the State Board of Health powerless, and any
steps toward Graduating contagious diseases
among live stock must be done through county
health boards. Deputy Attorney general Gillet,
when asked about the law which contains the
phrase that the members of the commission
"shan be paid out of money not otherwise apprO-
priated." said il leaves matters in such condition
that the Auditor would be running q great risk IL
he should pay out any money to the board unless
ubOn an order from court. He thinks if the men,

under which they are appointed, that they should

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE continued fine

ceipts, caused a 1sc lower opening for wheat

porary early depression there was q period

$4,000 bushels of wheat, besides the 24.50O
packages of -four posted. The market
firmed up TO 7Sosc for December on this

A Stabbing ARRAY.

A fight occurred last night in front Of Jack
Lynch's saloon, in which Frank Kittewell was
stabbed twice, once In the left arm and a second
time in the left side Of the head. The latter cut
the left ear and opened the scalp for two inches.
Charles Swales did the stabbing, and both par
ties had been drinking. They were in the saloon
when the time came to close, and Lynch ordered
them outside. As soon as he went out Swales
struck Kitterwell with a small knife. 1t Is not
known what caused the fight, except that both
were naturally quarrelsome, besides being
drunk at the time. Kittewell will recover.

SOMETHING ABOUT STAMPS.
Single Bits Of Colored Paper Valued at Hun
dreds of Dollars.

Golden Days.
Not a week passes that numerous readers
do not write to inquire the value of some
more or less rare stamps In their possession,
not realizing how difficult il Is TO fix such
values. Stamps, apart from their intrinsic
value of 2 or 3 cents when uncancelled) are
mere curiosities. and nave no actual value.
Some people would not give a dollar for q
hundred of the rarest stamps in the world.
while others would mortgage a house to OBJ
tain possession of q single stamp. Some of
the prices paid for stamps In this country
are such as may well amaze the young
stamp collector, and in Europe the mania
is so great that some collections are almost
priceless.
NJ. Philippe de FerFari has a collection
of $4,000 stamps, and ne has sold one col
Mr.. Burnett, an English collector, has
stamps valued at $4,000, and many collec-
tions, by no means remarkable. have been
sold in England for 5000.
The late Duchess de Galliera accumulated
$4,000. ' H''n A'' "0" 'Aiuo0 AZ
At the Paris mint there is a remarkable
collection, and the Rothschild collection in
Paris is so costly and SO highly priced by
its owner that it is guarded Ink the
Kohinoor, and only experts are allowed TO
see it.
At q recent London auction some remark
able prices were realized. British Guiana
stamps brought the following prices: A
Dluc &c ol- 100, Canctiicu. Sio4, uucdn-
celled, $3.50; four 1c. issue 1853. IS each, and
a pair of &c Magentas of 1856, $50.
These prices are paralyzing TO the 0rdina-
~ reader, but much higher figures have
been reached in other sales. Here are q
few samples:
The 15c and soc Reunion stamps bring
$500, and the New Brunswick SC stamp finds
q ready purchaser at $50. The set of four
Hawaiian stamps are valued ut 81 500, and
the 1S47 Nautilus stamps, &c and &C. can
rarely be had under $500.
Old Brazil black stamps range in value
from IS to Sl2.50; the green and yellow ones
of Buenos Ayres bring as high as $25 each,
while the red ones are worth $50.
The vermilion one-franc French stamp of
1S49 and "V. r." black English penny
stamp are considered cheap at $50 apiece,
while the Mulready wrapper on India paper,
issued in 1S40, has been sold for $500.
The prices are enough to send a cold Chill
down the back of the youthful collector
invest fifty cents for an '1S5S Peruvian
one-penny red" But that is no reason why
the collector should not collect, if it gives
him pleasure. Ii is q harmless amusement
and incidentally teaches history TO the
collector.
But there is a drawback, as there is to
amusement. All rare stamps are counter
felted, and the rogues are SO skillful tnat
only an expert can detect the imposition.
Many a collector, young and old, has q
stamp he prizes as the gem of his collec-
ton, supposed to be worth dollars: when III
is not worth cents. However, IL Is a con-
ISOLATION TO know that a counterfeit gives
just as much satisfaction as a genuine
stamp until its spurious character Is dis
covered. and such discovery very rarely
happens.

A Poker-PIayer Took the Risk.

The police, last night, at the corner of Illinois

was alleged, for gambling purposes. They
found twelve men playing poker, and

in the party, but he escaped by jumping out Of a
third story on to the veranda at the second story.
From the veranda he went down one of the posts
to the ground. The police had no clew to his
whereabouts.
