Rsculapius and His Profession.

Esculapius, whom Homer calls 1.-The
blameless physician" was the famous
pupil of Chiron. The glory of Hscu-
lapius' name is not dimmed as it has
come down to us through the ages.
While his treatment of the sick was
heroic, as wa natural in an heroic age,
he did not ignore the virtue of metaphys-
ical treatment. To those who suffered
from violent passions he recommended
the perusal of works of poetry, the study
of hymns and songs and an attendance
on light comedy.
1t has often been said of physicians
that they have two kinds of medicine
one with which to cure the patient, the
other to be used when it is desirable that
the cure shall not be effected too quick
ly. E~sculapius had two kinds, which
be received from Pallas Athene, the
goddess of wisdom. Both were taken
from the veins of Medusa. That taken
from her left side operated to the de-
struction of men. That from the right
side brought them health and strength.
Esculapius' medicine even had the
power of bringing the dead to life-a
fact which so incensed the gods that
Esculapius was Immediately put to
death by a thunderbolt. The sceptic
Montague, referring to this injustice,
sarcastically expresses his surprise that
the patron of the doctors should be sent
to Tartary for restoring men to life, when
so many of his disciples are pardoned for
performing the opposite feat.-Chicago

To the Editor OF THE LEADER.
Rock SPRINGS. Aug. 3.-An article
appears in THE LEADER of the 3Oth
stating that there is a slight muddle be-
tween the employers of persons who are
members of the National Guard and the
employees. This undoubtedly originates
in the fact that the First Regiment of
Wyoming National Guard has been
ordered into camp at Fort Sanders, near
Laramie, and the business men object to
allow their employees one weeks holiday
tor such a purpose. As an old National
Guard man | can not but agree with THE
LEADER, Tor the reason that in this county
the Home Guards" may be very useful
in protecting our people against depreda-
lions by Indians, and can 10 their duty
whenever called upon to enforce
the law. 1t can not be expectedlhat our
young men will present themselves once
or twice a week for the purpose OF going
through the dull routine of company drill,
unless some pleasure be connected with 1t.
Neither should their efforts to familiarize
themselves with the duties OF a soldier be
ridiculed. The organization is one that is
encouraged by the government OF the
country, arms, equipments, clothing. etc. =,
are issued free and it is evident that the
matter has been thoroughly looked into
by those in power and best qualified to ex-
press an opinion as to the results to be
gained by such an organization. 1t re
lieves the nation IRON the enormous ex-
pense connected with a large regular
army, and yet, should occasion re-
quire it. we can put as large and
fine a body of troops in the
field as any country in the world and they
will be composed of men who are well
acquainted with the duties aud hardships
of a soldiers life. Always provided. how
ever, that the inconvenience caused the
employer of such persons who show their
love Tor their country, is not magnifed
and the toys refused the instruction they
so much need and which they can only
gam by annual regimental encampments.
1t hardly seems possible that any citizen
oil this glorious country of ours could
hesitate for one moment to grant leave Of
absence to an employee when the object to
be gained Is one that affects the welfare
of the citizens of the United States Of
America

A hairy mole which is still growing
should be removed at once, even at the
risk Of some injury to the skin. 1t is
now probably no more than a plexus of
capillary vessels, with only a small sup
ply of connective tissue. There is also a
likelihood that it has o yet involved
the skin. If this be its condition, the
skin over the tumor may be reflected in
flaps, and the tumor itself strangulated
with ligature in one of the usual ways.
The flaps should then be replaced, and
the result will be a minimum of cicatrix
md deformity.
But if the nevus be allowed to grow,
it will become a large, highly Vascular,
e~rectile tumor, probably invading and
involving the skin, liable to profuse
hemorrhage if injured; yet still quite
amenable to treatment, though of a less
simple kind. The modes of treating
navi are numerous, and are continually
tncreasing.-Herald of Health.

Rev. Mr.. Hagamore, to whose memory
a slab has been placed in the church at
Catshoge, Leicestershire, England, wa
"a little queer" 1t seems that the rev.
erend gentleman died in January, 1886,
leaving all of his property, valued at
$500, to n railroad porter.
This queer old preacher kept one serv-
ant of each sex, whom he locked up
every night. His last employment of an
evening was to go the rounds of his
premises, let loose the dogs and fire off
his gun. He lost his life in a curious
manner. Starting out to let out his
servants the dogs fawned upon him and
threw him into a pond of water. The
servants heard his cries, but being
locked up could not render assistance.
so the old man was drowned.
When the inventory of his property
was taken he was found to be the owner
of so gowns, 100 pairs of trousers, 100
pairs of boots, 400 pairs of shoes, so
wigs although he had plenty of natu-
raj hair, 80 dogs, 96 wagons and carts,
30 wheelbarrows, 249 razors, so plows,
so saddles and 222 pickaxes and shovels.
He surely was "a little queer."-St

New York, Aug. 1.-The failure OF
A. P. Stockwell was announced on the
Consolidated Exchange today. He had
been allowed until IL o'clock to make con
tracts tor 200 shares of stock, but couldn't
do it. The decline of Stockwell. at one
time noted as a most daring and venture
some Spectator, excited much sympathy
among the people in Wall street. Twenty
years ago he came here from Cleveland,
o., with a capital estimated at
81, 900. 900. He was at the head of the
famous Howe Sewing Machine company,
a position he acquired through his mar
risge with the daughter of the well known
inventor. For n long time he cut a big
swath in Wall street affairs. He became
president of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company and the Panama Railway com
pany. Then reverses came: misfortunes
followed each other in quick succession
until his fortune was swallowed up in the
maelstrom Depreciation.

fl U. S. COURT.
Several Cases Passed Upon by Judge
Dundy Yesterday.

The United States court was in session
yesterday with Judge Dundy presiding.
Judge Dundy rendered a number of de-
cisions in cases in which Judge Riner had
been interested as au attorney previous to
his appointment to the bench.
In the case of Shaw vs.. the Union Pa
,cific Railroad company, a demurrer to the
amended petition was sustained and leave
given to file another amended petition.
In the tase of Nolger VS.. the Hazard
Powder company. a demurrer to the third
amended petition was overruIed and the
defendant given torty-days IN which to
answer.
The Jarvi case was up on a petition
fled by the defendants for a new trial.
1t was claimed that the evidence did not
warrant the verdict and on that gound a
new trial was granted. The case is an old
one. Jarvi brings suit against the Union
Pacific railroad for damages for injuries
sustained in one of the company's coal
mines. The case has been in the courts
for about five years and has gone from one
court to another with varying results.

Nat Goodwin's First Stage Experience.
Before | ever ven on the stage | used
10 take part in amateur affairs in my
mothers parlors in Boston, and 1 both
cred Charlie Thorne to death to get me a
place in some company.
My friends also said they were con-
vinced | had talents. So finally Thorne
secured me a position in a company then
playing a piece called "a Bottle" Provi-
dence was to be the place where l made
my debut, and the part assigned me was
the old time gentlemanly villain, who
comes to the village and captures the
heart of the rustic beauty.
l had rehearsed several times and was
sure l knew it all.
The heroine was to rush on with a
scream and | was to run after her; but
she hadn't rehearsed the scream with
me, so when she dashed on and gave an
unearthly yell it nearly frightened me
to death.
l stubbed my toe, feel sprawling and
lost one of my sidewhiskers. | couldn't
utter a word, and didn't do so during
the whole performance. They thought
| would gain courage as the piece pro-
crossed, but during the third act the or
chestra came in with a few thrilling
bars of music and l completely lost my
head, and | dashed out of the theater to
find the depot and take the next train
for Boston.
As l entered the cars with makeup on,
a black streak on my cheek from a black
ened eyebrow and my wig at one side,
passengers thought l was staring mad.
On reaching home | rushed in to my
mother, who thought | was going to be
a second Booth, begging her not to send
me on the stage again, but to get me a
position in some store.-Nat @. Good

The next national encampmept of the

City. The Justice of this assertion may
not be conceded by the partisans of Lin
coin, Neb., but inquiry at various depart
ment headquarters indicates that when

of the next encampment, Washington
will get the prize by a vote of nearly two
to one.
The various candidates for commander
in-chief are pressing their claims with in
creased energy tonight. Chas. p. Lin
coin of Washington. d. c., assistant com
missioner of pensions, has Withdrawn
from the race. As it stands tonight. the
choice is between Weissert of Wisconsin,
Smedbere of California. Hurst of Ohio,
and Hodges OF New York. Weissert's
candidacy is the only one hat is sharply
defined as to states. The West. with the
exception of the Pacific coast, il practic-
ally solid for this candidate. The situa-
ton is complicated tonight by the sudden
and extravagaDt claims OF Chic for Hurst
and the rumor that Illinois nay decide to
present the name of Ex Governor Richard
j. Oglesby for commander in -chief.
The race problem still looms up
ominously and the question on every lip
now is. can this dispute be settled by the
encampment without serious DISRUPTION

delegates from Louisiana will make a re
quest tomorrow to present their side of
