BARTHOLDI'S BIG GIRL. The Prejudice Met By a Canvasser for the Pedestal Jb'und. TheBartholdi pedestal fund is nearly complete. The statue has arrived and soon New York harbor will be graced by the most magnificent colossal statue the world has ever seen. " Liberty Enlightening the World ! " What a priceless blessing personal lib erty is. It ia the shrine at which peo ple, ground under the heel of tyranny in the older worlds, worship with a fervency that Americans can scarcely realize; it is a principle for which Nihilists willingly die the death of dogs; and fit and proper it is that at the very entrance of the Vmy of New York this emblematic statue should Hash a welcome to the world. The press is entitled to the credit of this achievement. Mr. Philip Beers, who has been making a circuit of the couutrv on behalf of the Pedestal fund says that the fund will certainly be raised, as the H arid does not Know ine word fail. Mr. Beers says, he lias found the most pronounced generosity among those of foreign birth. They seem more appre ciative of liberty than do our native born. Moreover, among some a strange prejudice seems to exist. "Prejudice? In what particular? " "I have ever found that however meritorious a thing may be, thousands of neoole will inevitably be prejudiced against it. I have spent most of my life on the road and I know the American people, 'like a book.' In 1S79 a per sonal misfortune illustrated this pre vailine prejudice. I was very ill, had suliered several years with headache, fickle appetite, dreadful backache, cramps, hot head, cold hands and feet and a general break down ot the system. I dragged myself back to New York, seeking the best protessionai treatment. It so happens that among my relatives is a distinguished physician who up braided me roundly for preaching so much about mv own case. Finally, with some spirit, 1 remarked to him : " 'Sir, you know that much of your professional wisdom is pretense. 1 ou are controlled by prejudice. You can not reach a case like mine and you know it, can vou?'" "I had him; and he finally conceded the point, for it was bright's disease of the kidneys which had prostrated me, and the schoolmen admit they cannot cure it. Having cured mvself, how ever in 1S71). and not having seen a sick da v since, mv relative finally ad mitted that Warner's safe cure, which accomplished this result, was really a wonderful preparation. Had Presi dent Butter, of the Central-Hudson used it, I am certain he would be alive to-day, for he could not have been in a worse condition than I was.'' " I have found similar prejudices among all classes concerning even so laudable a scheme as this pedestal fund." Mr. Beers' experience and the recent death of President Butter, of the Central-Hudson railroad, of an extreme kidney disorder, proves that the phy sicians have no real power over such diseases, and indicates the only course one should pursue if, as the late Dr. Willard I'arker says, headache, sick ness of the stomach, dropsical swell ings, back ache, dark- and offensive fluids, prematurely impaired eyesight, loss of strength and energy occur, for they unmistakably indicate a fatal re sult, if not promptly arrested. "Yes, sir-ee, every cent needed for the pedestal will be raised. Of course it will be a great triumph for the World, but would it not have been an eternal disgrace had our people failed to provide for this pedestal?"

EPITHELIOMA. An Affection Which Concern the Mem br ine Cluing Most of the Internal Or g.in. This word now so sadly familiar from the case of our great fellow-e'ticn, General Grant is one of the nanici of carcinoma, or cancer. It is used be cause most cases of cancer arc co i neete I with the epithelum the mem brane which lines most of the internal organs and cavities of the body or with the epidermis (scarf-skin), which covers the outer surface and is ewi tlaliy of the same nature. All our tissues muscles, membranes, r.irves, fat, bones, etc. are built um bv and consist mainly of cells. These cells select from the" blood, transform and assimilate the element? essential to their activity, growth and perpetuation. Tiiev multiply by division. Tumors result from a morbid multiplication of c,l!s. Benign tumors simply crowd as they gr av by the multiplication of cells a j:i i ns. tlu; adjacent parts. In maiig n:i!.t tumors the multiplying cells iu iiiir.it'? into the adjacent parts, and thus co nstantly enlarge their deadly area: or they are taken up by the blood-vessels and lymphatic vessels, particularly the latter, and borne to distant glands, where they set up the same deadly action. A cancer of whatever kind is always malignant, though a hard cancer, of of which an epithelioma is one, is not so malignant as a soft cancer, in which the cells preponderate over the fibrous tissue. What is nmv called a sarcoma, which wa-? once thought to be a cancer, is a benign tumor generally, but may be malignant. It differs from a cancer m i'nly in having its cells separated from each other by intervening sub stance. In the latter the cells lie against each other several hundred of them perhaps in (otherwise) empty spaces, or nests. The microscope alone distinguishes between the two the cancer and the sarcoma. A cancer may long remain simply a hard, painless tumor, with its true character unknown. If it can be cut out then, it may never recur. This, therefore, is the time for its extirpation. A cancer due solelv to local irritation is rpi'te likely to b3 cured when operated on early. When due to hered itary t iirf, it is more likely to recur under some new irritation. The age at which cancers appear is generally after forty. Hence the ocur renc ot" a hard tumor, sav from forty live and onward, should awaken a!te:i tion. But comparatively few tumors are cancerous. In cus.'s wliere ext'rpation is imprac ticable, medical treatment may st II do lvueh for the general health, the relief of distressing symptoms, and averting the progress of organic disease.

Consul Charlesworth shows taat the wine trade of Made ra has steadily de creased in exports to the United States from ;!0,:i;:5 in lssu to17,i'l in 18S1. Last season's grapes wero linely ma tured, and the wine said to be of better quality thau for years past. It may shock'teuder stomachs to learn that tiie cry ancient practice of treading out the Wine with the feet is still in Vogue. Consul Charlesworth says the grapes are place I in a large wooden or stone vat. m which the peasants, withlcgs bare to the knees, tra el in a circle to the cadence of an extemporized song - tha sentiment of which is su ted to the oc cas'on until the grapes are reduced to a pulp.

It taen lecaives the necessary amount of sjur t, and either mi Icrgoes the artitieial heat ing process' or is stored in warehouses until it has acquired the proper age for use. The Con-ul adds, by way of solace, perhaps, that all the w ne iirms have steadily refused to ban lie any adulterations, ami the'r b ands may always l u rel'ed upon. Cousul-Cicncral Heap writes from Salonica that this is a most favorable time to in rod nee agricultural imple ments into Maeeilon a. This country has lost caste in Cara cas.

"Small farms are the best."' said Mr b. K. Emory, of Longmont, to th '.'; a dav or two s in e. "I know it to i.e a fact, because Fve had ex peiience with both large and small. I; ( olorado a man is very apt to get the land fever, and the result is he ha more land than his means will allow him to cultivate, or, if it be grazing land, he lias no money to buv -tocK with; his purchase is of no iise to him, and, unless by some extraordinary . l ...r . i r a- , siroivu oi goon ionun ne remains as poor as a church mouse to the end of his days.

Anoiiier reason why tliev pa is, that whoever owns a small farm generally has poultry, swine, etc As the farm docs not take all his time, he sees the hens, the chickens and the turkevs have proper care. He has a few cows -and a small dairy, winch, as he is not obliged to be working the land all the time, re ceives the attention needed.

"On the forty acres can be grown a liberal supply of vegetables, ami there is ample t me to give them, too, the necessary attention. A little of every thing :s found on this farm, a perfect exempt licatioa of mixed farming.
