Docter Tanner has done what the doc
tors positively said he could net de; a
thing which is net surprising in itself,
for no one can have failed te observe that
physicians are anything but infallible,
even when they are most positive. This
is but another illustration of the fact that
they knew very little about the body that
they can be sure of. One would think,
considering hew often their favorite
theories are upset and that comes te
pass which they have declared could net
possibly happen, that doctors would have
learned te be careful te assert nothing
and deny nothing. And a great many
of the elder ones are thus cautious and
are as close as a clam about the ailments
of their patients. It is the only way te
retain their respect, though it is very
aggravating te have your physician slip
through your fingers like an eel, when
you undertake te pin him down te
a definite statement as te the nature,
causes and consequences of your illness.
He knows that he don't knew. He
has an opinion, but experience has
told him. te distrust his opinions.
A doctor lias te be naturally prudent,
and te be well up in years beside, before
lie can thus refrain from airing his
knowledge before his patients. Every
man is naturally assailed with a vehe
ment desire te tell all lie knows every
time lie gets a chance te make an im
pressien en semelMMly else. And se, when
Dr. Tanner declared he could de without
feed for forty days, all the impetuous
doctors who theoretically knew Ilia:
he could net, hastened te se declare,
and until lately were cock-sure
that, their theories would held water.
At the head of this tribe appeared Dec
ter Hammend, a man who get te the
head of the medical bureau of the army
during the war through the impression
he created of his immense knowledge
and capacity. And who was shortly put
out by the discovery that he was a fraud.
His talent for impressing people with
his greatness was such that he has since
attained a front rank in his profession in
Xew Yerk, where it is se easy for bold
pretension te succeed in any avocation
In the practice of medicine it is partic
ularly easy for a man who knows very lit
tle about the art te create the belief that
he is its master and te flourish according
ly. There is no profession that is se in
fested willi quacks, and they are net all
outside the pale of the " regular" practi
tinners. There is as much humbug,
ignorance and imbecility among the
" regular" members of the profession,
who practice under the rules which for-
bid them te advertise themselves and
their drugs, as there is among the class
who use the newspapers freely te pre
claim the iufalliability of themselves
and their nostrums. Doctors can adver
tise themselves in many ways without
falling foul of the rules, and Drs. Ham Ham
eond of New Yerk and Wier Mitchell,
of Philadelphia, and all that class of pre
tentieus specialists who are forever
thrusting themselves before the public te
display their knowledge and who se often
get caught exhibiting, instead,their igne
ranee, are no better than our old Lancas
ter friend, Dr. Ilarlmau, who, after an
essay at the practice of medicine
in the regular way, went into
the business of selling patent bridles
and patent medicines, and who new
blooms in Pittsburgh as a miraculous
curer of all the ills of the body, his skill
testified te by the most startling testi
menials, showing hew lie cured people
whose llesh had all fallen from their
bodies and who for years had been un-
sucessfiilly treated by oilier doctors.
Dr. Haitnian beasls himself in the
newspapers and pays their publishers
for it. We naturally therefore prefer his
way of advertising te the methods select
ed by the fellows among the " regulars,"
who are looking as actively after the
main chance and as industriously hunt
ing up ways of making the people be
lieve they are a great deal mero knowing
and mere mighty than they are. Here,
in Lancaster, we may be entitled te feel
a degree of city pride in the quacks
who boldly advertise their medicines
avowedly te put money in .their purses.
The most distinguished et them were
born and bred here. Dr. Hosteller co
pied Dr.-Green's receipt for a pleasant
and healthful tonic bitters, and went out
te Pittsburgh, where glass was cheap, te
bottle and sell it ; and the doctor is new
the richest man in the state and a geed
citizen, and we are proud of hiin
accordingly, though he did fail in the
drygoeds business here liefere lie became
a "doctor." Then there was Hen Mish-
ler, who conceived the Mishler's Hitters
and get te be successful as a doctor,
with that infallible specific as his sole
armament, after he had failed at every
thing else. And new comes Dr. Hart-
man with his great medicines, " Peruna "
and "Manolin," te put llesh en fleshless
bones in Pittsburgh and shed lustre en
his birthplace while putting ducats in
his pocket at the lively rate of twenty
live thousand a year.
When regular physicians, claiming te
stand at the head of their profession, de
clare, in this age of the werld,thataman
cannot live forty days without feed, and
that man does live, they demonstrate
that they de knew se little of the body
they profess te cure as te be in fact pre
tenders, like the quacks they denounce.
The Xew Yerk JTeraltl cruelly re
minds some who took part in the Fifth
avenue hotel conference yesterday that
they were there four years age declaring
for a man for president who "in public
liositieu never countenanced corrupt
practices, " who is " known te possess
these qualities of mind and character
which the stern task of genuine reform
requires, " who " possesses the moral
courage and sturdy resolution te grapple
with the abuses which have acquired the
strength of established custom, and te
this end firmly resist the pressure even of
his party friends," and who " deserves
net only the confidence of honest men,
but also the fear and hatred of the
thieves." The Herald seems te suspect
that Mr. Garfield has entirely tee large a'
feet te draw en that shoe.
Whkre was Ceakling yesterday ?
Tfce Whisky Slag.
Great expectations will be abundantly
realized if Gen. Jehn A. MacDonald
publishes the kind of a book
about the whisky ring which lie tells
the Xew Yerk World that he is
about te print. MacDenahl having
been a large part of that nng, familiar
with its operations, guilty of its worst
practices, convicted for its f muds and
pardoned by the favor of its friends, he
is at once a well informed and a discred
ited witness. His testimony like that of
any ether accomplice can be received
only after abundant corroboration. But
if it can be thus well sustained it will be
very much mere interesting and valuable
than could be the evidence of any one
less qualified te speak with authority
and from an acquaintance with the facts.
At the time of MacDonald's trial facts
were developed te show the intimate con
nection existing between him and men
who shared Grant's confidence and favor
The slimy trail led up te the very doero
the White Heuse, and the best that
Grant's friends could say for him was
that " his wicked partners " took advan
tage of him. MacDonald's panlen came
under circumstances that looked as if it
had been extorted.
Xew, for some reason or ether it may
be for revenge, for notoriety or for
money MacDenahl proposes te tell it all.
He only fellows the unfailing charactcr-
teristic of such men in doing se. His
announcement that the whisky ring was
formed te raise money for Republican
campaigns will surprise nobody. Of
course it was. It was se manipulated
whercever it had its little branches and
the best subscribers te the party peel
around here were the fellows who used
te get anonymous letters through the
postefiice,with notes of large size in them
from their beneficiaries, and the partners
of the syndicate who met weekly in " the
back office " te get their dividends.
If MacDenahl has the verification of
his charges of Grant's guilty knowledge,
of the pledges made te himby Republican
politicians and of the delays they have
sought te interpose against his publica
tien, his book will be a rare and nicy
one. Certain it is that no field of fancy
ever offered such range for an interesting
narrative as the history of the whisky
ring under Grant's administration.
Wk trust that we will hear no mere
complaints from the Examiner about
anybody giving its party in this county
the deservedly bad name which it has for
all manner of political rascality. The
Examiner has proclaimed te the press of
the state a recent most flagrant case of
ballet-box shilling, of which it may lie
presumed te have accurate knowledge,
since it was done by its political friends,
and in behalf of its political friends. It
further declares that no primary election
of its party here is ever held without
fraud. When it is remembered that
these elections are under the gcneral law
of the state te regulate elections, and
frauds at them are punishable under
these statutes, it is manifest that part of
the Lancaster county Republican politi
cians will commit frauds when they get
the chance and that the ether part will
net avail themselves of the legal reme
dies te prevent and punish the prostitu
tion of the ballet box. While the Repub
lican organs here delight te entertain
their readers with alleged outrages
upon the frce exercise of the
right of suffrage in .the Seuth the fact
remains that in no section of the coun
try, according te their confession, is
there greater pollution of the ballet than
here in their own bailiwick. It is tolerated
within the party because the devices
which they employ te cheat each ether
are in general campaigns turned against
the Democracy, when the ballet-box stuff
ing and return tinkering of the prima
ries blossom out into the forgery of na
turalization papers, the manufacture of
bogus tax receipts and the fraudulent
change of ballets. The Examiner has a
geed deal of sweeping before its own
deer te de, before its broom will find le
gitimate employment in Alabama.
Whims the Republican politicians
were quarreling in Xew Yerk yesterday,
as te whether their chances were mere des
perate in Maine or Flerida, the Tamma
ny and anti-Tammany Democrats were
quietly agreeing te agree en all matters
and te make common light for the com
mon cause. Chairman Rarnuni is net
hunting with a brass band.
-- -
Thk union of the Republican party
this time seems te be a union of its lead
era. Hitherto its leaders have quarreled
and its masses have stuck together. This
time the masses are disintegrating and
when the returns come in it will be seen
that the leaders have no mere votes nr
capita than the led
Belknap was at the Republican con
ference in Xew Yerk yesterday, but was
net called for te make a speech net in
public at least. Mayhap he was invited
te the secret executive session te tell
hew te raise a campaign fund by the
sale of pest-traderships.

The address of Hen. Daniel Agnew,
L. L. D., delivered before the Dickinsen
college literary societies last commence,
meucc en " Enthusiasm," has been pub
lished in pamphlet form. It is an elo
quent analysis of that quality of human
intellect which is popularly defined as
ardent zeal, strong hope, heated fancy,
firm faith, and in short that highly exalted
state of the imagination which evinces
itself in the pursuit of a cherished object
and indulges in sanguine expectations and
confidence of success." Judge Agnew se
lected as historical cxumplers of his sub
ject, Paul, Luther, Columbus, Patrick
Henry, Daguerre, Merse, Ericssen and

The executive committee of the regular
Democratic state committee of Xew Yerk,
at a meeting yesterday, received a commu
nication from Tammany IIa.ll asking for a
consultation relative te the holding of a
state convention. A committee from Tam

executive committed and it was 'decided
that all local differences should be forgot
ten. Tiik Jewish movement toward Jerusa
lem seems te have fairly set in, the He He
brew population of that city having in
creased fifty per cent., from 10,000 te 15,
000, since 1873. At this rate it would net
take long te fulfill the prophecies in the
most literal way, and thcre may yet be
hopes of seeing Palestine the. fertile, pros
perous and well populated country that it
was 2,500 years age. The head and front
of the emigration movement in England is
Sir Moses Montcfiero, and the discussions
and novels of Lord Rcaceusficld have
served te stimulate a romantic interest in
the subject. Resides the Hebrew there is
a considerable German colony in Jerusa
lem, there being as many as 400 residents
of that nationality.

Leuis whisky ring, is net only going te

his lecture is te be about he docs net say,
but his business agent has told him that
"it will rip up his old party from hell te
breakfast. " McDonald will stump through
Indiana in September, and writes te a
friend in Indianapolis that "the people of
this country arc net aware of the danger
in store for them in the election of Garfield,
lie is in the hands of the Grant crowd, and
if they arc successful this time they will
have the old man in again in 1834. Then,
geed-bye te the republic. I knew the de
termination of the Grant, gang, and if Gar

PEACHES.
The season Fairly In Blast The Amount
Already Shipped The Better Va
rieties Xew Ripening.
MldUlctewn, Del. Dispatch te Wilmington
Every E veiling.
The peach season is fully en, and a Large
quantity of fruit has already been shipped
from the various peach districts. About
375,000 baskets by rail and enough by
water te make up a round 500,000 of bask
ets. Se far only Rese. Troths, Hales,
Yerkes and a few early Craw fords, have
been seat here, and the heavy shipments
from Xew Castle county and Kent county,
Maryland, where the fruit is in the great
est quantities are yet te be made. Gov.
Cochran thinks that the estimate of 375,
000 baskets for Middletown is net tee high
at that, that many wfil be sent te mar
ket thence. In the lower districts, from
Felten and below the early varieties which
constitute the bulk of the crop thore have
been sent te market.
Fruit has averaged here se far about 30
te 35 cents a basket, clear of commisssien
and freight, which is a fair price, consid
ering that the peaches se far shipped have
net been very large or well colored. The
later varieties premiso te pay better, and
the speculators are offering from 40 te 45
cents for the balance of varieties delivered
at the depot. Te-day the sales have been
from 75 cents te $1.50 and $2, the latter
price only being obtained, however, for
very choice fruit. Until new fruit has
brought enough in the various shipping
points te keep the drying men almost en
tirely out of the market, as fruit at mere
than 25 cents a basket will net pay dryers
enough te warrant the risk. Messrs. Rich
ardson & Robbins, of Dever, and ether
large firms in the canning business, have
eficrcd 50 cents a basket for the Crawford's
and ether geed canning fruit, but very few
sales have been effected at this price, and
speculators are se shy that the sales, when
delivered at the depot have been very lim
ited ; indeed, unusually se.
The better varieties of peaches are ripen
ing new and will seen be in market. Clerk
of the Peace Cochran, who has a very fair
yield upon his two large orchards, thinks
that the fruit after this week will be as
fine as was ever shipped from the Penin
sula, probably better than ever before,
owing te the fact that the trees pretty
generally have only enough peaches te ma
ture in excellent condition. The heaviest
shipment will be made about the latter
part of next week, and during the week
following. As a general thing this year
the shipments te Philadelphia, Xew Yerk
and Baltimore have lfcen the bulk of the
crop, as western and Xew England ship
ments have been somewhat mere risky,
owing te the geed prices brought in the
three nearer cities named.
1IKUNZK CAPITAL.
Fer I'lillndelphht l'ubllc Buildings A De-
Ncrlptleu et Them Their Cost,
Weight, Ktc.
The main or northern cntratice te the
new public buildings at Bread and Market
streets, Philadelphia, has remained in an
unfinished condition long after the thrce
remaining entrances were completed. The
Wiirk te be done there is of a liner charac
ter, and could net be hurried without do
ing it imperfectly.
The passage-way is still open te the sky,
but work is new being dene upon it se
that it can seen be enclosed. The interier
liuish of the entrance way will be of sand
stone, excepting six granite pillars which
stand out from the side passage-way. The
bases of these pillars are of Bay of Fundy
granite, while the columns are of Cape
Ann granite, which will be surmounted
with bronze capitals.
The pillars are about 20 feet high and
stand thrce en cachsidoef the passage-way
and the capitals, which will surmount
them, arc about 4 feet high. Tliey weigh
1,500 pounds each. It required a year for
the actual work of building them. The
base of the capitals is 2 feet in diameter
circular in shape, and is surmounted by a
wreath of leaves, oak, ivy, laurel and haw
thorn being the four patterns. They
broaden towards the top and end in four
open angles, which project outward, the
space between the angles being concave.
Each of the six capitals is different in ex
ecution, though all are similar in design.
Mr. Alexander M. Caldcr, the designer,
chose six emblems navigation, architec
ture, music, mechanics, agriculture, and
science, which were made in bronze, se
that tliey could be fastened te the sides of
the capital. Four of these designs are
combined with each capital, but in such an
order that no capital has the same four de
signs. The effect thus secured was six
capitals dissimilar in pattern, and six dif
ferent emblematical designs. The capitals
cost in round numbers $1,000 each, and the
pillars upon which they rest the same sum.
Thrce of the capitals are new in position.
On the side of the walls of the
passage way will be sixteen spandrels
cut in relief, life size and in sandstone
Each group is of a different combination,
emblematical of the arts, sciences, agricul
ture, commerce and industry.

New Yerk Herald.
Since Andy Jehnsen " swung round the

as General Garfield's progress from Menter

Hayes's almost forgotten Southern tour
at the beginning of his administration.
The profusion of speeches en both of these
previous journeys, however, possessed a
merit te which none of yesterday's can
lay claim. They all touched im
portant subjects which then were
uppermost in the minds and .hearts
of their hearers. The oratory which
dripped yesterday at every railroad station
from the rear platform of the car which

A Theory That Didn't Presper.
X. Y. Humid, Ind.
Well, here is Hancock's letter of accept
ance an abler document than Garfield's
iu the general opinion ; who wrote that '.'
And then comes Hancock's letter te Gen.
Sherman, written in 1870, from a country
town in Missouri. It would be delightful
te think that Judge Black also wrote that ;
but unfortunately thejudgc was net there.
Unlike the Irishman's bird he could net be
iu two places at once. Yet it is a very geed
letter; strong, sensible, conservative,
showing as accurate an understanding en
Hancock's part of the constitution as the
famous Louisiana order. Se far as we have
noticed the Republican organs accept this
letter meekly as Hancock's own. This is
encouraging ; perhaps by and by tliey will
give him also the credit which belongs te
him of the authorship of the Louisiana
orders and letters. The theory that Gen.
Hancock is a mere dummy docs net seem
te prosper.

A large sea lien, supposed te be one of
these that recently escaped from Ceney
Island, made its appearance in the Hudsen

wharf, he erawlcd up en the paddle wheel
of the steamer Dean Richmond of the
Peeple's line, new lying in ordinary there,
and was shot at by Mr. Peter Keller, the
ship keeper of the steamer. Then lie
jumped into the river. He was pursued
until dark by a large party of fishermen,
headed by Cel. Michael Edwards, a vet

monster near Catskill, but were unable te
capture him. They are still continuing

Jlcllcfonte Democrat.
The Lancaster Examiner, a Republican
paper, expresses its belief that there never
has been an honest primary election held
in that county. This is net complimentary
te Lancaster honesty, but may account for
the large Republican majority annually
returned from that county. Political
morality in that section of the state is evi
dently at a low ebb.

In short Indiana will vete Democratic in
October because it is a Democratic state ;
Ohie will vete Republican because it is a
Republican state, and the results will be
significant only as the majorities shall be
large or small.

hat, approached her from behind and sud
denly clapped both hands ever her mouth.
Miss Sherb struggled te get free from the
clutches of the brute, but before she suc
ceeded in screaming for help the man
threw her upon her back. The rascal then
took te liis heels. The only motive the
scoundrel could have had for committing
the outrage was te rob her of a valuable

enir efa lively contest between Miss Sherb
and ene of her lady friends at a Catholic
lair. Miss Sherb is well-known -in this

Laucnnter County Ahead.
The Yerk Press in noticing the small
number of Yerk county school teachers in
the state association, says: "In this re
spect Lancaster county carries off the
palm, having a membership nearly twice
as large as that of any ether county. Pos
sibly this is accounted for in part by the
large preponderance of the Lancasterian
clement in the pregramme. Perchance,
tee, the large membership, new and in the
past, accounts for that large preponder
ance." Derse Steles.
