THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBTJRG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. General Grant. is mi old iiibo dtiso Bicirsi or mzdicil InTOUIIUSCE. The America llnvtpntkitt bu an article on the treatment of General Grant by the Allopaths, In which It y "Oeneral Washington wa marttered by tiU medical attenilanU ; but at least the were heroically too heroically endearor. ing to extinguish the disease. Their bru tality was of the actlre tort, and In pur pose commendable, though disastrous In result Oeneral Garfield was maltreated for months under an error of diagnosis, and at last escaped beyond the reach of bis eminent torturers. Here, also, there was much medical heroism and activity dis played, albeit misdirected. Other Illustri ous patients have suffered from eminence In the profession ; but General Orant sce'ms reserved as a shining example of cold blooded expectancy. To him the little group of eminence have not-ilng to offer but a diagnosis. For him they propose no relief but in the grave. Ignoring the only source of theraputlc salvation, they gath er around hU bedside to observe the un aided struggle. The flat has gone forth that nothlns can be done; and notblos will be permitted to be done. Those who question such a decision are quacks and cranks ; but who ought not to be proud of such a desl2natlou from such a source ? Scholarly, refined, cultured, earnest gen' tlcmen as they are, of what avail are all these good qualities In the presence of such therapeutic bankruptcy ? On the contrary, while so-called scientific medicines Is to the fore, well may the dally papers announce In startling headlines, 'A bad day for Oen eral Grant Seven doctors In consulta tion. Yes, the hero of Appomattox U dying I lie who knew no fear In war, knows no fear In suffering. Ills quiet fortitude wins universal admiration. President Lincoln In visiting a hospital during the late war, noticed a poo Confed' crate boy mortally wounded. With his native tenderness he put bis arms around his neck In sympathy. The sight melted the hospital to tears. The heart of the American people in like manner bleeds for Grant, the silent suffer- er. It would have him get well, ty any er- fectlve means. Ills physicians say he cannot recover, They fill htm with anodynes but despite their favorable bulletins he Is daily grow. ing worse. A specialist who has won reputation in the treatment of cancer visits his bedside. The opposition he encounters from the at tending physicians brings painfully to mind the story of the dog in the manger. And Oeneral Orant, perhaps, must die because of this intolerance ! Is It possible that there Is no hope of cure outside of the medical profession ? Preposterous I For years medical men insisted that cer. tain fevers were Incurable, but Chinema proved the contrary. For centuries they have protested that certain ranal disorders were incurable and yet a special prepara tion has cured and permanently cured the very worst cases. ' Why may It not be possible In like man ner t cure a case of cancer ? 13. F. Larra- bee, ot Boston, was doomed to death by many eminent Boston physicians. J. B. llenlon, SL B., ol Rochester, a. Y., was given up by the best doctors of all schools. Elder J. S. Prescott, of Cleveland, Ohio, was gravely Informed by them that he could not live, and yet hcse men and thousands like them have been cured and cured permanently, of serious kidney dis orders, by a remedy not officially known to the code. What has been done may be done again. General Anson Stager died ot Briglit's disease in Chicago last week. "Joe" Goss. the Boston pugilist, died of it Hundreds of thousands of people perish of it every year, while in their doctor's hands. The cause of death may be called blood poison - Ing, paralysis, heart disease, convulsions, apoplexy, pneumonia, or some other com- raon ailment, but the real difficulty Is In the kidneys. Physicians know it but they conceal the fact from their patients, rea lizing their inability to cure by any "au- thorized" means. The remedy that cured Larrabee and llenlon and Prescott (i. e., Warner's safe cure) Is a special, indepen. dent discovery. Its record entitles It to recognition, and it gets it from Intelligent people. Its manufacturers have an unsul lied reputation and are entitled to as great consideration as auy school of physicians. Professor R. A. Gunn. M. D., Dean of the United States MedicallCollege of New York City, rites above professional preju dice and on its personally proved merits alone gives it several pages of the warmest commendation in his published works the only Instance on record ot high profes sional endorsement ot such a prepara tion. The unprejudiced people do not want General Grunt to die. If there Is In all na ture or anywhere In the world a remedy or n man able to cure a cancer, give them a cnance. Will they do it? No. Why ? Is It not too often tiie case that many ex. cellent physicians who are greatly devoted to the code, would prefer that tbefr patients should die rather than they should recover neaitn uy tne use or any remedy not recog. nizea under tneir coae? CUTTING m-ASS WITH M ISsOIts. Many persona inuy not bo uware that glass can lie cut under water with greatest ease, to almost any shape, by simply using a pair of olicurs or strong scissors. In order to insnro success, two points mnit lie at'eiided to first and most important, the glasi must bo kept quite level in the water while the fecissors ate applied ; and, secondly, to avoid risk, it is better to begiu tho cut ting by taking of small pieces at tho corners and along tho edguts, uud to reduce tho riiapa gradually to tliat required, for if any attempt is mado to cut the glass to the ahnpe, as wo would cut a piece of cardboard, it w ill be most likely to break just whero it is not wanted. Some kinds of glass cut much tatter than others; the wiiter glass is theliest for thLs purpose. The bcissors need not depend on the ntnte of tho edge presented to the glass. When the operation goes ou well, the glass breaks away from tho telsson in small pieces in n straight lino with the blades. This method of cutting glasi has often been of service, where a diamond has not been at liand fo? cutting ovals and segments, and though the edges are not as smooth as might be desired for Home purposes, it will answer in many cases. The two hints above given, if strictly followed, will always insnro success. ' J-""'" " The blood of tho lower animals is commonly colorless.

THE MIIIACI.K I'L.tV Irt ritANCK. For many years tho representation of the mystery plays had been regarded by the actors and l)y the audience as a sacred show. Theu by degrees tho reverential feeling in the plays was lost People who had mid their money for admission into the theatre wanted to he amused, and thus the whole spirit of the mysteries ltecame changed. What had been looked upon as n divine worship came to be considered n pas. time. And tlus brought uloiit a rupture with tho church. Until the excess had grown too great the priests encouraged the3e preformanees ; they were so pop ular tliat the hour of vespers was ad. vaneed in order that all good people might attend the service after the hid come out of the theatre. Rut when the mysteries had definitely broken with tho church the plays becamo a question of profit and loss to the manager. To make them remunerative, the comic scenes were lengthened, the devil lie- camo a personage of greater importance. and, discomfited as no always was ou the stage belore tir audience, it was he who plaved the principal part A new character, the fool, was introduced. more nnsecmly than tlw devil, bo. cause of eccentricitii s, and then the -wildest bnffoonerv was naturally tho most relished.

The prohibition extuided only to Paris and the neighborhood. for we find that these plays were acted in tbo provinces for H:ne years after ward. Sainte-Beuve says. "From literary and dramatic point of view that which essentially chacterizes tho mystery plays is the lowest vulgarity and trivialities of the mo,t abject kind, The authors were troubled by only one care to retrace in tho men and things of former times the tceues of everyday life. All their skill was devoted making this copy, or ratlcr this faith ful fac simile. ' POCAHONTAS'S OLI ItKsOIIT.

Ihe specialty of the English man milliner is neatness. He does not in. dulge in the airy flights of his French neighbor ; tarlotans and gauze ho will none of ; bnt ruling habits and travelling dresses are his rage. His work is an essential British product, bnt it is English tWo at its best. The Pasisian may prepare the best ball dress or tea gown, bnt no one can cnt out a shooting jacket liku the English man milliner. Neatness is his creat point, and he imprrts Just tliat amount of tho masculine. element into his confections which be comes demure coquetry iu a woman a dress. Everything he makes is solid nnd good. If thero it. braiding, it is mathematically correct; if there is fur, it is tho finest of its kind, lm frogs and olivettes are by no means the work of a lively fancy ; they nro n genuine mutation of Iwdges of differen t regi ments.
