MIX. CANllOlLE hIbS ECOll.
When he had finished this address Mr. Smith
introduced Secretary Carlisle In the following
words: "The question Of silver repeal so
Gently decided by Congress, was the most i'm
portant which had challenged the attention Of
the country since the close Of our Civil War.
We are glad to welcome to our board the Sec
retary Of the Treasury who. through the long
contest in the Senate. threw his great influence
In favor Of just decision. The Hon. John G.
Carlisle will respond to the following: Com
merce demands and the honor Of the country
requires that the obligations Of the United
States shall be paid in coin current in any mar
ket Of the world, and that this question shall
Be settled for all time and beyond controver-
W.'"
Certainly Mr.. Carlisle could not have expected
. hearuer greeting from any source than that
which he received on rising to speak. There
he might say and considerable In the way of
hope 90 10 what he would say. He did not
disappcint his audience in any sense. His
speech was pronounced by many Of the most
prominent men there. irrespective OF party
amhaton, TO be a thoroughly common-sense
and rAtTiotic uttsranee: He clearly revealed his
the subject Of the National financial system and
it, requirements along the broadest lines His
speech was indeed Q business-like as well as
. constitutional argument In favor Of world

scarcely go a mile without seeing some

the old house are clumps of lilac and

Tho medicinal use OF menthol in
China and Japan goes back into the
dateless ages Isolated references to

here and there in the records of western
travellers in those parts. but, we shall
probably never know the name Of its

with absolute certainty when, and by
whom, menthol crystals were first
brought to the notice of European
pharnacologists. 1t is said they have
been used pharmaceutically on the con-
tinent as long ago as the end of the
last century, but if that statement is
capable of proof, the drug must have
fallen into oblivion shortly after its
introduction, for it was certainly
utterly unknown, even by repute, to
most persons in the drug trade twenty
five years ago Somewhere about 1864
a consignment of the drug was received
IN London under the name OF Chinese
peppermint oil, and passingly COM

Edinburg, belongs the distinction of

when an English firm in Yokohama
made small shipment of it to London,
determined not to rest until they had
succeeded in securing for the remedy a

months their shipment went back, with
a note from the agents, announcing
that the stuff could not be sold as

that is quite a curiosity. The head is that
of pug dog, only the eyes are more pro
truding. The teeth are those of a calf
The legs are very short, the forward ones
quite crooked, resembling the dog more
than a calf. The body is of small size with
hair of a calf, in color fawn and white. 1t
has no tail. 1t eats well and manifests its
desire for more with the unsatisfied bleat of
calf. Taken altogether it is a queer kind
of an animal, an extraordinary freak of
nature, and is exciting considerable atten-
ton as a curiosity.
