A The elixir of life, so called, an elixir of death already in a number of cases, bringing on blood poisoning and causing intense suffering and death. In this as in many other cases “a little learning is a dangerous thing.” Men with the merest smattering of medical knowledge are always among the first to rush into experiments with new ideas, and in nearly every cass do vast harm, The Brown.-Sequard elixir isa fluid taken from the glands of freshly slain rams has proved Pay day is a good day and a bad day. Saturday was general pay day in the Wilkesbarre mines and as a result there were three murders inthe region. At Pittston, John Tates struck Thomas Snell on the temple, killiog him instantly. At the same place Charles Fitzgerald was stabbed twice in the abdomen and died, A* Plymouth Michael Minlioski stabbed Joe Ledvoucheiki, inflicting a fatal wound. At Pittsburg on 17 inst, the South Fork fishing and hanting clab, through its so- licitors, filed a plea of not guilty in the case of Nancy W. Little and children agaist the club. This plea has the effect of placing tho case upon the issue docket tor trial, It will, therefore, be tried by a jury as soon as its turn comes on the cal- endar. The plea of theclub was a vols untary one, and defendants do not gens erally plead until so ordered by the court. It shows that the clubis not shirking the imsne, aud is anxious to have the matter seitied as soon as possible, AC Yreinnati physician sticks to the elixir. Dr. Longfellow has treated 49 patients with the Brown-Seqnard elixir, and says of that number 40 per cent. have been benefitted, some a great deal, others less. In but one ease has any special in- flamation resnlted. and that far from dangerous. Results so far have been permanent, notwithstanding newspaper reports to the contrary, Dr. Longfellow attributes his success with the elixir to its proper administration. Other doctors seem to think there is nothing in the elixir, others do. Their experiences are variable, while the ma jority do not think tof any practieal benefit, Why Called Americen., Mr. Moulton Emery, of Charleston, 8 C., under date of July 206, replies to a re. mark of the New York Tribuse that “at the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery by Columbus there ought to be room for a protest agaipst the wrong which wes him by calling the country after another, and for the applis cation to Amerigo Ves thet “charl and liar," He takes the ground that these words might “with equal truth and justice be applied to Cos lumbus himself, had continent re. ceived his name; for it is a historical fact that the New World years before him by the Red; and if there in the of name it would be well to have it made in beha!f of the bold and daring Icelander whose glorious achieve- ment was done to pueci of the epis tan the v a8 dicovered H00 Leif, the son of Eric is to be any protest matter shrouded in the gloom fan icy clime for centuries, to be restored to life, to be repeated by Co ed, doubtless, thereto of a Western world iumbus, inspire by the traditions which he learned in Iceland on his voy that « Mr, Emery pucci age to mantry.” “Amerigo Ves of his was the act Columb continues; in the name on the new world. bestowal It had no pari us al- he had bat the mind of learned men, the country part of Asia; comprehensive rently bea so continent, ion of the people, climate and productions, « ced the learned views were of a body of ways believed that discovered was a discerning and Vespucei tho ed it to wrilten descrip! he believ- His country, it ught difl pérate men of Earope th correct, “The suggestion of America as a proper name for the new Matthias Ringman, Professors of the C Lorraine continent the oilege came from and the Die, in poet, of } ot. among the Vosges Mountains, put forth a entitled “Cosmogra- France. little work fo 1507, shige Introductio,” in which it + rested that yutheran Continent should be called America, after a nn Earope and Asia had ! women.

It is bound to come, and just such hot headed cranks as the edi: tors of some of our Democratic journals are just the right set to hasten it. Itis fate.” The whites in Selma are taking steps to prevent the Rev. Mr, Bryan, who is now absent from the city, from ever com- ing back any more. The executive com- mittee of the White Republicans’ Pro tective Tariff League, with headquarters at Birmingham, met there and passed a resolution denouncing the editorial as incendiary agd dangerous and tendering their moral, and if necessary their physi cal aid to stop such utterances. - cule It is stated upon what is considered good authority that aboat all the money has been spent that has been guaranteed to Governor Beaver for the prosecution of state at Johnstown, Such being the the case, it is said thatin a few days the state force will be withdrawn and Johns- town will then be lett to shift for itself. The people are very much alarmed about the matler, as it is evident that if the workmen are withdrawn now very ser ious consequences may ensue.

The reason as. signed for this step was that no money could be made in the business. The company had not paid a dividend in five years, Two weeks earlier the company operating the largest woolen mill in Con- necticut was forced into bankruptey. It had been unable to offer to its creditors more than 10 cents on the dollar. There have since been heavy failures of woolen manufacturers in this State and New York, an advantage “We caper wool,” says this he A dispatch from Reidsville, N.

The bees won, the first one arriving horae twonty- five seconds ahead of the pigeons.

" if you must start in that way, tell us| what Sardanapalus and Tiglath Pileser| did for about three pages; then, after] you've got it all written, tear off those three pages, and you will find what is left will make an exoellent beginning for your article, Some people’s brains seem lumbering and stiff in the joints, and they have to begin with “Tradition tells us,” and go on that way till they get limbered out and in training for the real fight with their subject. But they ought in no case to put this brain gymnastics off on the public for the genuine stuff, No! Plunge directly into your sub ject. Tackle it, say plainly and in short words what you had in your mind to say, then stop. Probably half the cssay- ists in our magazines and quarteriies have the execrable habit of consuming a third of their space before they get a good ready to say what they wanted to say. The editor who understands his business will cut all this preliminary flourish out, mercilessly. It weakens a really good article always. For the rest, bo sure yon have a clear sharp idea in your mind of what you want to say. Then say it in the fewest, simplest words that will fully express your thought. Then goover it and strike out every sentence and every word that can be spared. Then it is ready for the printer. As to style, that will take care of itself.

Bince 1804 the | fertile red soil of Jersey has crumbled into the sea at Cape May at the rate of ninetecn feet a year. Atl many places along the coast, where fertile flelds were within the memory of this generation, are now only salt marshes. In some places stumps of trees have been found four feet under water, and on the farm of Capt. Hildreth a corduroy road was found two feet under the surface of the salt meadow. Professor George H. Cook, the state geologist, has examined the coast very carefully, and concluded that a change is going on steadily and that the sea is encroaching on the land. Lands which in the early settlement of the country were above tide level and were cultivat- ed fields, are now below water. Finally, within a short geological period there has been a sinking of the New Jersey const of from ten to twenty feet. Is it good-by, New Jersey?
