Wn h.ivn received solutions to the eoats'
dilemma from James K. Orr, A. W. Snider and
W. H.H.S.
The following verse taken from the L D. M.
we think very appropriate:
To solve the "Goats' Dilemma" some time it
took us.
But by the gentle bints of S. A. Lucas,
We got them free and now off home they go
With smiling faces and with hearts aglow.
Although they felt inclined to chew some
"cuddy,"
The goats at last are out of their "Brown"
study. J. P. GREY.
CITY CHAMPIONSHIP.
The $25 has been deposited In the hands of
The Dispatch, and now awaits Mr. Sherrow
to oover Mr. Boyle's forfeit. As this was the
plan suggested to the editor of this column by
Mr. Shetrow's backer, and he said then they were
ready even to the amount named by Mr. Peal,
If there is delay they will be to blame.
s A SILVER MEDAL
has been placed In our hands by a gentleman
withholding bis name, to be given to the win
ner of the first contest played for the Cham
Ion8hip of tne city, and the party who wins it
i three contests will be the owner.
DAMEH'S REMINISCENCES.
BY E. W. HOYT.
When I sit down to the old draught-board,
By memory's magic power
Like miser over his golden hoard
I people the passing hour
With those from whom my gains I've made,
And those who have gained from me,
As sitting opposed with disks arrayed,
We sought to force victory.
I first recall that wonderful man.
Of which each village has one
Invincible chief of the draught-playing clan.
Who never was kno n to shun
A fair encounter with any f oe
Who never had met defeat.
And of sweet Dameh was held to know
The mysteries all complete. '
It needs ninst be as a thing of course.
That book playing he despised.
To prove it needless he'd talk himself hoarse,
Because he bad analyzed
At once and fully each opening known,
As soon as presented to him.
Thus oe'r no book had he need to groan,
Or make his eyesight grow dim.
But woef ulest hour of a woeful day,
Fate made its descent at last
In the form of a youth who said he'd play
Some games nntil the train passed.
The champion gave o'er his specs a look
When the youth observed each rule.
And said, "I suppose you play by bookf
I'll show you a different school."
But alas! alack! He soon was in
A sorrowful circumstance.
And squirmed on his seat as though a pin
Was used by his foe as a lance.
When "Sturges' first" by the youth was gained,
"This musV he said, "be a draw."
"Oh, no." his foe serenely explained,
"My school teaches different law."
When "Anderson's second" came in play,
"At least this is drawn," he said.
"Oh, no, the books you despise all say.
That never was loss more dead."
When even the "Goose's Walk" was reached,
He knew not that he was there.
His strongest fortresses all were breached.
Then he quit in blank despair.
'"Tis wondrons. this," the veteran cried,
While covertly smiled the youth.
"These forty years to learn 1 have tried.
How long have you teU the truth f"
"A short time only." tbe youth replied.
Whose hearers were all agreed
That he who vanquished their village pride
Was surely no broken Reed.
CHECKER NEWS.
While passing along Market street, between
Second and Third avenues, it was our good
luck to witness a most novel game of checkers,
played in a barber shop, between two of the
tonsorial artists. It was a very spirited came,
and neither had tbe advantage, though both
seemed playing to win. Bat the novel feature
was that they bad their double corner to their
left band. So much for tonsorial knowledge of
checkers.
We called at the Soho checker headquarters,
and made the acquaintance of Thomas O'Nell
and James Buchanan, of Western Pennsylvania
challenge fame. We found tbem to be very
nice young men, but to all of our entreaties we
could not Induce them to play, though they
have promised to come down to checker bead
quarters. W. C. Brown has accepted W. H. Tyson's
challenge to play for the championship of the
State. Play to begin early in March.
There are some in this Western nart ready
to take up tbe gauntlet when the tro central
experts get through with each other.
J. P. Reed, it is rumored, is to visit Pittsburg
shortly. While tbe great luminary will be in
our midst, how insignificant will all of us feel,
who pretend to be lights in this part of tho
State, of which he is the champion!

.DESTROY THE DELTA.
Continued from tfineth Fage
have had only good effects. Study of the
maps shows that tbe Fansie, Bhreeve,
Baccourci and Hommochitto cut-offs have
been without sequent ill-effects of any kind;
rather, it may be said that until these cut
offs were made, no improvement was possi
ble. The present crooked channel between
Bayou Sarah and Hickman should be recti
fied and damages paid to tbe cities and
towns which might be injured.
No fear need be entertained that the chan
nel would lengthen itself by eroding the
banks to regain the length lost by the rectifi
cation. In the portable jetties we have
means sufficiently powerful to confine the
erosion to tbe shoals and bars. When'the
water passed over- them into the bends it
would be so saturated with siltand so dimin
ished in velocity that its tendency would be
constructive not destructive.
Neither need we fear to disturb the "regi
men of the river." That is just what the
Mississippi has never had equilibrium in
constructive and destructive efiort. The art
of man must so control tha velocity of tbe
stream as to establish that highly desirable
condition of things.
Nor need we fear to so augment the
velocity that the river will be difficult of
navigation; tbe slope and consequent ve
locity of tbe river will be very much less
than it now is in a great many places, and its
ascent will be accomplished with less fuel
than is cow required.
Nor will we lose the reservoir effect of
those portions of the channel cut off. These,
when low enough, would serve as reservoirs
for the local flood waters; and when suitably
improved and connected by locks with the
main river would be most valuable arteries
of commerce, avenues of a thriving trade,
harbors of refuge during flood periods and
sources of pleasure and profit in a thousand
ways.
"We need to lose that fear generally in
spired by this hitherto untamed giant, and
remember that it is subject to the laws of
flowing water, the same as any rivulet; and
that knowledge, courage, persistent labor
and good common sense will successfully
apply the laws of nature, and restrain and
reclaim this mighty agent to the use of men.
Further, we must devote part of our
thoughts to the people whom the river is to
serve.
Mere uninterrupted avenues of communi
cation, mere land and water, mere masses of
population, mere grubbiug and grinding,
these things do not make the people great,
or augment commerce. Brains, culture, am
bition, inventiveness, skill, well-directed
effort, brilliant management these are the
things that make vast and profitable trade;
and when did an unhealthy or a perturbed
people have these things?
The example of our Northern lakes, rivers
and canals shows tbat seven or eight months
of navigation, through a prosperous and
highly cultivated country,is vastly more pro
fitable than uninterrupted traffic in a country
desolate or but crude and limited in devel
ment. To reclaim to use the marvelously
rich lands now swamps and sloughs, to
ensure security from disaster, to improve the
public health, to provide good water trans
portation routes free to all the people, will
so vastly augment the population and the
productive capacity of each unit thereof
that there will set in an era of prosperity
overmounting the borders of tbe bottom
lands, spreading its influence continent
wide.

Tbe papers are so fnll at present of accounts
of Dr. Koch's new method "of treating con
sumption by hypodermic injections tbat one is
apt to lose Eight of tbe old and approred
method of pneumatic differentiation. This
treatment has been In rogue now about six
years, and I hare yet to hear of a single physi
cian once using tbe cabinet who has discarded
it for any other method. I hare publicly advo
cated the Stbinet treatment for lung troubles
but very little the past two years, for tbe
reason tbat patients generally wait until their
lungs are so fnll of holes that one could turn bis
fist in tbem before coming to me,and then when
they die in a few weeks or months, as die they
must, I am charged by envious physicians with
hurrying them hence, which always hurts my
reputation In tbat neighborhood. Besides. I
can make more money treating catarrh at So a
montli, as I can treat a dozen catarrh patients
while I am treating one in the cabinet, and it
is buman nature to work In that field
which offers the greatest financial returns.

But I am still a fl rm believer in the pneumatic
cabinet treatment, and use tt daily in my prac
tice. Tbe diseases in which it seems most
available are bronchitis, laryngitis asthma,
consumption in Its first and second stages and
remains of chronic colds and all pneumonias.
By the cabinet treatment aotUeplic or germ
destroying sprays are brought into direct con
tact with the lung tissue, penetrating into tbe
abscesses and pores, killing the germs, and
cleansing and applying medicine immediately
to the diseased parts. This treatment causes a
greater respiratory power, gives greater oxy
genation to tbe blood and a system of lung ex
ercise Identical with tbat given tbe muscles by
clubs, dumbbells and weights. This, aided by
my system of medication, alimentation and
regimen, which includes the rational use of food,
exercise and everything essential to the build
ing up of the strength of the patient, makes
my claim that "I enre consumption," when the
disease has not progressed too far, a perfectly
tenable one.

Dr. Sidney Fox, of Brooklyn, N. Y., after an
experience bt four years with the cabinet, dur
ing which time he treated in it two hundred
patients for lung trouble, says:
"I am familiar with other modes of treat
ment, having been an interne of two of New
York's large hospitals; bave seen about all tbe
medicines of tbe pbarmacopeeia tbat are used
in lung tronbles prescribed; and am also fa
miliar with the injection of cavities with tbe
tincture of iodine and other drugs, and in pri
vate practice with Borjeau's apparatus, in
halers, the oxygen treatment and other
methods; bat I have discarded all and clung to
the cabinet, regarding ltas the only instrument
ever devised that meets all the requirements
for which it was intended."
Dr. J. T. Whlttaker. of Cincinnati, says: 'I
regard It as of inestimable value, and would
rather part with any instrument in my office
than with my Pneumatic Cabinet."
Dr. Bowdltch, Boston, Mass.: "I believe it to
be a step forward in the treatment of one of
the most formidable diseases with which we
have to contend."
Prof. A. L. Loomis. New York: "Instead of
sending patients to high altitudes it maybe
possible to accomplish, by properly arranged
apparatus, what can be obtained by change of
climate."
