DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Enstachian tube. When this tube gets inham-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot

Remarkable viii Power.

The late William 6. Groesbeck, Of
cincinnati, never took another law case
after his defense of President Andrew
johnson. THE brilliant speech which
wch that case," says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, proved the
mans remarkable will and intellectual
powers. He had been so i'll as to be
confined to his bed, and on the day of
the trial, while lying in bed, he jotted
down on a sheet of foolscap paper the
main points of his defense. He was
driven to the tribunal in a carriage.
unable to walk, and spoke extempore
for four hours and half. At the close
article NJ was voted upon, and the
president acquitted of the other arti-
cles. Since that time Mr. Groesbecll
has lived life of quiet and retirement.
In 1872 he built Elmhurst, noble
house OF superb proportions, command
ing a river view of unsurpassed beauty.
A bulletin (No. y of the division of
entomology of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture says that in
France and Pennsylvania an industry
has recently sprung up, which consists
of the farming OF spiders for the pur-
pose OF stocking wine cellars, and thus
securing almost an immediate coating
of cobwebs to new wine bottles, giving
them the appearance OF great age. This
industry is carried on in little French
village in the department Of Loire and
near Philadelphia, where "Epeira vul-
garis" and "Nephila tlumipes" are
raised in large quantities and sold to
the wine merchants at the rate of $40
per 100. This application of entomol-
ogy to industry is one which will not
be highly commended

ESQ"

In Paris, as well as in some other
parts of the world, there are men of
fashion who aim to do everything as
the English do it. The foppish French
man, who knew no English, but never
theless called himself a gentleman"
went so far in his Anglomania as to
write ESQ" after the names of men
to whom he wrote letters, on the backs
of the envelopes. By and by a friend
asked him what this meant.
why, the English do it" the other
answered.
"Yes, but what does Esq mean?"
"Why. you see. the English are of
n very cold temperament. and admire
cold tbirgs, and ESQ., which means
Esqnimau. is a great compliment!"-

TranspoInr Currents.

Commodore Melville proposes, in or
der to test the question of transpolar
currents, to send adrift a number of
specially constructed casks north of
Behring strait, and then attempt to
trace their course. Certainly the eX-
pertinent is worth trying, and it would
be fitting were the money raised in
Philadelphia to furnish the casks. AS
to sending them adrift, the United
States government vessels, which will
be called upon to do more active duty
i'll Alaskan waters than ever before,
might well aid in this work. In favor
able mmer a run north of Wrangel
island is but a pleasant excursion, and
under very favorable conditions the
casks could be dropped off so far north
as to insure that they would follow

II BOYS KING.

My papa, he's the bestest man
What ever lived, l bet,
And l amt never seen no one
AS smart as he is yet,
Why. he knows everything almost
But mamma says that he
Aim never been the president,
And that surprises me-.
And often papa ak about
How he must work away
He's got to toll for other folks
And do what others say:
Ard that's a thing that bothers me
When he's so good and great,
lie ought, l think, at least to be
The gov'nor of the state.
He knows the names of lots of stars,
And he knows all the trees,
ANi he can tell the different kinds
OF all the birds he sees,
And he can multiply and add
And figure in his head
They might have been some smarter men
But l bet you they are dead.
Once when he thought I wasn't near
He talked TO mamma then;
And told he- how he hates to be
The slave of other men,
And how he wished that he was rich
For her and me-and l
Don't know what made me do it, but
l had to go and cry!
And so when / sat on his knee
asked him: rs it true
That you're a slave and have to toll
When others tell you to?
You are so big and good and wise,
You surely ought to be
The president, instead of just
a slave, it seems to me-"
And then the tears came in his eyes,
And he Rugged me tight and said:
why, no, my dear, I'm not a slave
What put that in our head?
i am a king-the happiest king
That ever yet held sway,
And only God can take my throne
And my little realm away"
