I have been informed that a rumor is current to the effect that certain parties were found by me in my waiting room in a compromising position. I deeire to state that the rumor never emanated from me. It is entirely falee and with out any foundation whatever, and is calculated to do great injustice and injury to me and to others who are en tirely innocent, and who are the victims of a slanderous rumor which must have originated from some persons too de based to be recognized by well-meaning persons. It is faUe and should he t-up-pressed and the originators should be oeverely punished for the damage they have done. J. A. Geisenuokkkdk. It is with some reluctance that Tin: Chuonici.i: publishes tho above com munication, and only gives it space in order to point a very apparent moral. Of the parties concerned in the alleged scandal, or of the alleged facts of the case, Tin: Ciikoniou: . knows nothing and desires to know nothing. It hates scandal and gossip as the devil hates holy water, and only refers to this mat ter in the most general terms when it says that of all the crimes that can be conceived of or imagined there is none more utterly damnable and villanous thau a false and unfounded charge against fenlal virtue, and more especial ly so when the charge attempts to compromise the character of an estima ble young lady.

Journal tells the following: There was a very handsome young doctor with a fine, curly beard well cared for and there is no use conceal ing the fact that his name was Seward Webb. There was a little sweet-faced child named Susan Baker, who broke her leg and was taken to St. Like's hospital, in New York. There was a very Interesting young woman, whose name was Miss Vander bilt, who used to come to the hospital to cheer the sick with flowers and good ad vice. In the morning the handsome doctor took care of Susan Baker's broken leg. In the afternoon the kind-hearted young woman came and talked to Susan and tried to cheer her up. Susan Baker talked to Miss Vander bilt about Dr. Seward Webb, and she talked to Dr. Seward Webb about Mies Vanderbilt. The little girl told how very kind the good doctor always was to her. One fine day she introduced the kind young doctor to the young lady. Not long afterward they were married. The kind doctor and his wife now have a summer home in England, with three thousand acres of land around it, a park of two hundred thousand acres in the Adirondacks, a private car and a great many other useful and neceeeary things. This proves clearly that it pays to be kind to a little girl with a biokpn leg. We are not told, by the way, what be came of Susan Baker. We hope that she also has a private car and two hun dred thousand acres in the Adirondacks, for she was at least as polite as tho young doctor and tho young lady. CASTOR I A For infants and Children.
