Among tho noteworthy features of tho place w as a shrewdly-devised method for carryiny fumes up tho chimney ond con suming tho odors. It is learned that the premises iu Lodsam street were taken two months ago by a man named White bead, an Irish-American, who hail a sign bung out in frout of bis placo indicating that his business was that of a paper banger. Whitehead himself was taken iuto custody when tho police made the descent on tho den, sue is now iu close confinement.

A young man who was compelled to resign bis position in one of the pnblio schools of this city because he was break ing down with consumption, and who Las ever siuco been battling for life, al though with littlo apparent prospoct of recovery, was encouuterod sovoral days ago in a Broadway restaurant. "I see," he said, "that you soora prised at my improved appearance doubt von' wonder what could caused such a change. Well, it was a very simple romedy nothing but hot water." "Hot wator?" "That's all. You rcmoraber my toll ing you that I Lad tried all of tho ususl remedies. I consulted some of the lead ing specialists in affections of the lungs in this city, and paid them largo foes. They went through the usual course of experimentation wun mo unuer an sons of modicines. 1 went to the Adirondack in the summorand to Florida in the win tcr; but none of those things did me any substantial cood. I lost ground steadily grow to be almost a skeleton, and had all tho worst symptoms or a consumptive whoso ond is near at hand. At that iuncturo a friend told mo that he bad heard of cures being effected by drinking hot water. I consulted a physician who had pai special attontion to this hot water cure and was using it with many patients. He said: 'There is nothing, you know, that is more difllcult than to introduce a new remedy into medical practice, particular' Jy, if it is a very simple ono, and strikes at tbo root ot erroneous views and pre indices that have long been entertained Tho old school practitioners bavo tried for years to cure consumption, but they aro as far from doing it as ever. "Now. tho only rational explanation of consumption is t"ut it results ironi ue fcotivo nutrition. It is always occom panicd by mal-assimilation of food. In nearly every caso the stomach is the seat of a fermentation that necessarily pre vents propor digostion. Tho lirst thing to do is to remove that formentation, and put the. stomach into a condition to ro coivo food and dispose of it properly, This is effected by taking wator into the stomach, as hot as it can be homo, an hour beforo each meal. This leaves the stomach clean and puro, like a boiler that has beon washod out. Then put into tho stomach food that is in thohigh est degreo nutritious and the lcutt dis posod to fermentation. No food answers this description hotter than tender beef. A little stale bread may bo eaton with it. Drink nothing but puro water, and as ittlo of that at meals as fpossiblo. VcBetablos. pastry, sweets, tea, ooffbe, and alcholio liquor should bo avoided, Put tender beef uloue into a clean and uro stomach threo times a day, and tho system w ill be fortified and built up un- tho wasting away, that is tho chief eaturo ot consumption, ceases, and re cuperation sets in. This reasoning impressed mo. 1 be gun by taking ono cup oi hot water an hour beforo each meal, and gradually ncroascd tho doso to threo cups. At first it was unploasant to tuko, but now drink it with a relish that I never ex perienced in drinking tho choicest wine. begun to pick up immediately tutor tho new trcutmont, and gained fourteen pounds within two mouths. I havo gained ground steadily in trying tiio climate of Now York; and I toll you, sir, I feel on a sure way to recovory." Hero an old gentleman who had been standing near, and evidently listening to tho conversation, turned to the teacher, and said: "This remedy of hot wator drinking bus attracted my attention for somo time. It bus been of imiuonso service in reliev ing mo of a terriblo dyspepsia that tor mented mo for many yours. I tried num erous able physiciuns, and there is probably no medicine that is prescribed for such uu ailment which was not given to mo; but nono of them gave mo any permanent benefit. But tbo simple remedy of driukiug hot water, accom panied by a rationul regulation of my diot bus entirely cured mo, advanced though I am in lifo. It was not the diet ing ulono that did it. I tried that bo foro. It was tho uso of hot water that cured mo, for that made it possible to derive somo benefit from a judicious diet. I havo also found this treatment of great benefit in kidney discuses, which aro largely owing to mal-assimilation of food." Tho teacher listened very attentively to tho old gentleman's remarks. "I am glad to learn that your experi ence," ho said, "agrees so fully with mino. I havo become acquainted with various cases in which this simple method of treatment has effected perma nent cures after all tho efforts of the physicians had failed. I am convinced, simply from what I havo seen, that al most any disturbance of tho human sys tem that results from disorders of tho stomach, can bo alleviated, aud, in most instuuees, cured in tho same way. The very simplicity of tho thing may cause some to hesitate about attaching much importance to it, but, liko tho proper vcutilalion of your dwellings, it may prevent disease and affect cures where all tho drugs uf tho pharmacopivia will fail." Satisftcd Curiosity. It was a quiet-looking man with a frayed mustache, who got on a Cass avenue car the other eight, and he had a square wooden box on his arm, with rows of holes punched in the top, which im mediately attracted tho attention of a corpulent passeuger with cotton um brella, who was sitting near tho door. "I suppose yon have some wild animal in that box?" said he, tapping it with his umbrella. "Yes," replied the other, shriukiug iuto a corner. "You have a museum somewhere, may be?" "No," answered tho small man, look ing down at his feet. "Well, might I ask what you have in that box?" questioned the fat mau, Lis curiosity increasing. "Certuinly," murmured the man with the box, looking like the chief mourner at a funeral. There was a dead silence for several minutes, when the corpulent man spoke somewhat impatiently: "Well, what is it?'r "It is a mongoose,' said the melan choly man. "A mongooae what's that?" asked the man with tbe nmbrella. leaning over and eveing the box curiously. "It is an animal that exterminate, snakos," replied the small man, pulling Lis bat over bis eyes. - .

Trying to Abolish Breach Cases. of Promise A bill to abolish action for breach of promise of marriage has been issuod among the parliamentary papers to-day, February 20 "backed by Mr. Claino, Mr. Bryce and Mr. Buchanan (Liberals) Col. Makins. (Conservative) and Mr. Ileldon (Homo liulnr). It consists sim ply of ihe following clause. "From and after the passage of this net no person shall bo entitled to maintain an notion in spect of tho breach of promise to mar ry, provided always that this shall not apply to any action commenced before tho passing of this net." The bill intro duced will, if it pusses into law, bo tho shortest statute on our statute book. It contains only ono olauso, which pro vides that, without prejudieo to existing actions, after tho 1st of January next thero shall bo no action for breach of promise to marry. It must not, howover, bo forgotten that this would still leave a remedy for injury under tho ordinary iws of contract that is, damages will bo recoverablo for any actual momentary oss sustained or incurred by tho plum- ill through tho promise given by tho de fendant. Tbe object of tho bill is to abolish the principle of allowing dam ages to be awarded for disappointment or grief. St. Jumes Gazatte. One Picture of Life In a City. This morning Captain Kerr noticed a young and pretty girl walking to aud fro on the north side of tho viaduct, appar ently in deep thought. "I thought per- aps sho was waiting for her lover, said Korr afterwards, "and paid little atten tion to her. About an hour after I first noticed her," Kerr continued, "I was sweeping off tho draw. Thero wero very fow peoplo ou tho bridgo at tho timo. uddenly, ns if by inspiration, I turned round and tho sight that met my guzo frozo tho blood in my veins. Thero was that girl Blinding on tho narrow project- ng edge outside the railing on tho north sido of tho draw bridgo, eighty feot above tho river. She was holding on to tho railing with one hand, looking down iuto tho river below, preparing for a leap to death. I sprang forward and seized her. Sho struggled vigorously to freo herself from my grasp. I clutched her with an almost death like grip, and thus managed t j save her." Cleveland Lead- or. It seems that tho earl of Dalhousio has asked the governors of all tho states for their viows on the sister-in-law business, being specially moved thereto by a letter from "on American clergyman" to tho Church Iieviow iu which it was set forth that tho practice of marrying deceased wives' sisters manifestly tends to croato boart-burniug ond destroy tumily con cord. A man cannot iu this country kiss is wife's pretty sister in any comfortable sort of way, says tho unknown dominie, and if ho does venture upon that kind of salutation tho wife will be jealous, and specially so if shn is ill. One case is mentioned where a woman became so much exercised from the presence of a particularly blooming sister whom her husband liked as to cry anil scold on her ieatn-oeu and make everybody nncom- fortablo to the very last".
