THE TRACK OF PRoGREss.-In all the scientific advancement which has been made there is nothing which has attracted more attention and certainly nothing which is of more vital consequence to all than that which has been made in the treatment of disease. There are thous- ands of sick persons and invalids all over the country who have until recently been unable to avail themselves of the most scientific medical aid.
 Through the thoughtfulness and kind ness of that great benefactar of mankind, Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th, Street, New York, all those who are suffering from any form of disease may avail themselves of his great system of treating and curing diseases all over the land through letter correspondence. People can consult him by letter absolutely free of charge Dr. Greene is the most successful specialistin curing all nervous and chronic diseases ; he is the discoverer of Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy. He gives most careful and explicit attention to all letters received by him and writes the pa- tient full description'o of the case. The Doctor uses nothing but harmless vegeta- ble remedies, and has had wonderful sue cess in curing disease through letter cor respondenee. Send for one of his symp- tom blanks and he will write you ful de scription of your disease and give you ad- vice in regard to it's cure, free of charge.

OPEN WATER NEAR THE NORTH
 POLE.

A vessel recently returned to San Fran cisco from carrying supplies to the whai- ing fleet in the Arctic ocean, north of Alaska, reports that one whaler found open water at the mouth of the Mack enzie river, and had followed it in a northerly direction until he reached point little above eighty-four degrees, or farther north than than the Greedy expedition reached. It will be interesting to know whether this report can be verified when the master himself returns to Ban Fran cisco.
 Four years out of five the ice packs in so heavily between Point Barrow and the mouth of the Mackenzie that it is impos- sible for vessels to penetrate 1t, but more frequently there is an open sea off into the northeast from Point Barrow. This direction, however, Is regarded as a death trap by the whalers, and is relig- iously avoided. It Is such trap as De Long deliberately went into after being cautioned ill the strongest terms by whal- iHS lOI bO Uo cuUlCOU luGO II. There have been seasons during the past twenty years when this northeastern ice entirely disappeared, and about ten years ago, one whaling master, who was de- termined to find whales, if any were to be found, took the risk and went in this di- rection some two pr three hundred miles. as he estimated, Even then he did not reach any barrier The water was free from ice, and from whales, too; hence he returned rather than risk going farther and stand the chance of the ice closing in on him from behind. But he reported finding considerable drift-wood and see- ing land birds. This led him to believe that land yet unknown and unexplored was not very far away. Since that time no whaler has explored in that direction until this one reported in the press dis patches. Hence it will be of importance to the scientific world to hear the full re- port of this voyage.

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.

Seven persons-a widow, one married
 couple and four single gentlemen-are
 about to embark in cooperative house.
 keeping. One of the party has hired
 house on Asylum Hill, Hartford, for
 year, with the privilege of renewal for
 three years, and the rooms have been as
 signed according to location, at a price
 which in the aggregate just makes the
 rental. This constitutes the fixed charge
 upon each person. The rooms are fur nished by the persons occupying them &C., cording to their individual tastes. The
 kitchen utensils, tableware, linen, etc., are purchased from 8 common fund. The
 married lady has agreed to act as house.
 keeper, with the absolute power which rightly belongs to that responsible posi- tion. She will engage the help, purchase the supplies, and run the house. There is lawn around the house with a small vegetable garden in the rear, and one of the gentlemen, who is fond of outdoor exercise, has agreed to mow the lawn and till the garden. Another gentleman, an early riser, will attend to the furnace in the winter. The husband of the married lady, who possesses some inventive genius and is handy in the use of tools, has agreed to do what fixing may be required around the house in the way of adjusting doors and windows, oiling squeaky hinges, etc. The people possess every advantage to make the experiment success. They have lived together as boarders in pop ular boarding house, are people of similar tastes, and are adapted to enjoy life in their associate relations. There will be no regular bill of fare. The lady of the house will provide, which is assurance of a good table. Minor details, such as who shall put out the light at night, lock the cat down cellar and clean off the walk, have been left to adjust themselves. The object of the cooperative movement is, of course, to provide home comforts and enjoyments at cost. There is every req son to believe the experiment. will be a success, and if so others will follow the example, - Woman's Journal.

About two months ago Gideon G. T

About two months ago Gideon G. Til linghast, of Vernon, deputy peach in- spector, condemned some peach trees in the orchard at Andover of c. A. Lowell, of Hartford, as they were affected with the yellows. MT. Lowell appealed from the orders of the inspector, and the state board of agriculture appointed a commit tee of experts to examine the trees. The committee, consisting of N. s. Platt, of Cheshire, George F. Pratt, of Milford, and J. H. Hale, of Glastonbury, recently went to Andover, and has prepared the following report, which will be submitted to the state board of agriculture:
 "The committee appointed to decide in the appealed case of Q. A. Lowell on the peach trees condemned for yellows by Gideon G. Tillinghast, finds on examina- tiQn that all the trees in question are un- mistakably diseased with the yellows, and the remaining sixteen that were not condemned are so badly affected that all ought to be removed"

A preachers righteous soul was sadly vexed by the talking and giggling of some of the junior members of his congrega- tion. Breaking off in the middle of his discourse, he looked straight at his tor mentors and said:
 "Some years ago there happened to sit right in front of the pulpit young man who was perpetually laughing and talking and making silly faces. I stopped short and took him severely to task. At the close of the service a gentleman stepped up to me and said:
 "'Sir, you made great mistake; that young man is an idiot
 "Since that time have not ventured to reprimand any persons who behave them selves indecorously in church, Jest should repeat the same mistake and iDfiict cen- sure upon an idiat."
 There was exemplary silence during the rest of the service.-U Ue6er LGnd und Nicer.

 Prendergast, the assassin of Carter Harrison, is having dreary time of it in the Chicago jail. The novelty of being a conspicuous prisoner has worn off, and he seldom ventures from his cell. It is said that the physicians who have examined him declare Prendergast responsible for his acts. Jailor Morris and all the turn keys who see him constantly, day and night, say that he is afflicted with fiend- ishness and nothing else.

'eThe most insidious and destructive foe of the farmer is the promoter of gIanges and alliances" This astonsh- ingly undiscriminating and injudicioust dictum is laid at the door of the secretary of agriculture, MT. Morton-a gentleman heretofore regarded by his friends as pos sessing rather more than the average all lowance of sense and discretion. If he felt the need of little excitement, he could have got it at much cheaper rate by going out into the country and poking the first big hornets nest he came across. At the opening session of the national grange in Syracuse last week Grand Mas ter J. H. Brigham took the unfortunate remark as text on which to hang some pretty vigorous remarks of his own. He described it's author as ''the railroad at torney and lobbyist, who is secretary of agriculture" and accused him of having deliberately and with reconciliation in suited every intelligent farmer in the United States. If the national grange adopts this view of the matter, MT. Nor tons usefulness as the agricultural mem- Der of the administration will be appreci- ably impaired.

Hartford Courant: What we call the little town elections, the choosing of first selectmen, school officers, auditors, and other town officers, is in the law a town meeting. To give the voters time and opportunity the meeting is allowed to cover the whole day, but it is distinctly town meeting. Bear this in mind. Then turn to the new law giving, as it is claim ed, simply school suffrage to women. Just read it:
 Every woman, etc., shall have the right to vote at any meeting held for the purpose of choosing any officers of schools or for any educational purpose.
 The law doesn't say that she can only vote for school officers or on educational matters. It says she has the right to vote at any meeting that is held for such purpose. That is one purpose of the Oc- tober elections. They are meetings held for the purpose, among others, of choos- ing school officers. Very eminent law yers, some of the best in the state, say that any woman, duly qualified, has perfect right under this law to vote the whole town ticket. She is specifically "given the right to vote" at just such a meeting. The right to vote is not limited nor qualified. It is the meeting that law defines and characterizes. At that meet ing the women can vote. See if next Oc- tober the thing isn't tested. It will be brave poll officer who refuses to count full ballot properly deposited by a regis tered female voter.

Hartford Courant, 17th: Chaplain At wood of the state prison made state ment to "The Courant" yesterday as to the services at the burial Monday of Francis Gerhard, an army veteran and convict at the prison. A statute was en- acted at the last session of the legislature that any soldier who received an honora- ble discharge should not be buried as a pauper if he died inside or outside of any such institution. The chaplain of the state prison, who is c. A. R. man, talk ing advantage of this law, in two instances called upon members of the c. A. R. to assist him in the burial of departed though erring comrades. One Jencks was borne to his grave by his fellow townsmen in Voluntown, the service being conducted by the local Baptist clergyman, not a c. A. R. man. Gerhard was buried in the Wethersfield cemetery, four past com manders of John M. Morris Post acting as pall-bearers. At the grave the G. A. R. ritual was not used, the honors were not given; but the prayer from that ritual was read by Chaplain Atwood, as the most simple and appropriate service for a soldier. The chaplain spread his own United States flag over the coffin, in rec ognition of the fact that death discharged the convict from the penalty of his crime, and that henceforth he is to be known only to the world as one who fought and shed his blood for that flag.

praise of its singing. The following

Attempt at Murder.

AS the @. q 0. train, west, rolled out
OF Argo city, suburb of Catlettsburg,
KY, Monday morning, some cowardly
bushwacker fred rifle ball through the
smoker. The shot grazei the head of
drummer, who would have been in.
stantly killed had he not been leaning
back, talking to Hillsboro man behind
him. When afterwards he resumed his
natural position in the seat the little
round bullet hole in the glass was ex-
actly opposite his temple. The shot
was fred either from saloon or from
the bushes on the hillside near it, and
the cowardly william who thus attempted
murder was about ON level with the
coach window when he fired.
In this connection We want to say that
our criminal statutes should be so re.
vised in all States as to make a deliber.
ate attempt upon human life punish.
able with death. The man who fires a
building with sleeping inmates, attempts
to wreck train, fires on a passenger
coach or steamboat or tries in any such
way to take human life, shows his MUIR
derous propensity, and if by accident or
providential interference he fails in his
design, that fact should not mitigate his
ofiense. He has done all he could, de.
liberately and maliciously. There's
murder in his heart and the protection
of society demands that be should be
effectually quieted.
