COACHING IN NEW YORK.
How
Some metropolitan Mortal
j Amuse Themselves.
New York Cor. Chicago Herald.
Coaching is comparatively new to New
York, though the recent parade was- our
fifth annualexhibition of the kind. Of
course four-in-hand coaches are to be seen
every day in the summer in the parks, and
on race days one ia pretty certain to en
counter five or six on the dusty roads to
Jerome park or Sheepshead bay, but once
each year, at the opening of summer, the
owners who belong to what is known as
the Coaching club unite in a parade which
is practically a public exhibition of tlieir
teams, their turnouts, their fair acquaint
ancesand themselves. This year there
were sixteen of these drags in the
line, each with the four best horses of it a
stable of many animals, in the finest,
cleanest, brightest harness, each driven by
its owner, and each filled inside and cov
ered on top by beautiful women in the
newest and showiest of costumes. The
top of each coach was a veritable flower
bed, so I numerous and large were the
bouquets; the top of the coaches looked,
indeed, like floating gardens, and the ladies
seated among them appeared the statelier
roses which blossomed in gay hats and
ribbons above the dead level of their sister
plants. I
The ladies wear on such occasions ab
solutely hew costumes, for those reasons
good and sufficient and dear to the
female heart, viz., to spite their Own
sex, please ours, and to have them
described, in next day's papers. The class
of men and women who habitually appear
in these parades are the same as the class I
have noted as figuring at the horse show
a little parvenmsh. somewhat horsey, and
very much afflicted with the mania for
anything; English. They mount the lad
ders to the tops of the coaches and descend
them with great crowds of lookers-on
pushing forward against the wheels of the
coaches jwith just the slightest tinge of
blushes, though they know that their
handsome boots are being fully revealed
to the profane gaze of the common sort of
people. They seem to enjoy the trip in
spite of j its publicity, however, and also
the dinner which follows it. This is usually
given at the Hotel Brunswick, though
it ia hereafter to take place in the magnifi
cent dining-hall of the Hoffman house-a
banqueting hall, by the way, unequaled
for magnificence in any palace of Europe.
The furniture for this room, I may re
mark in passing, is to be put on exhibi
tion at Cincinnati this fall, and 'will cer
tainly astonish by its beauty and elaborate
carving. I The table of the Coaching club
is always set in the form of a horseshoe,
and the pieces in confectionery, ices, etc.,
which grace the table represent coaches,
horses, harness, jockeys, etc., and are very
elaborate. One English rule is violated at
dinner. The ladies remain for the "wal
nuts and the wine," and, from all accounts,
do not let the latter go to waste.
Pride and Pie-Crnt,
j Detroit Free Press.
It was baking day at the Sawyers.
If there was anything 3Irs. Sawyer
prided herself upon, it was the tender,
flaky quality of her paste. Jones knew
this. j
Mrs. Sawyer was just rolling that tender
pie-paste into great shetts of transparent
dou;h, when there came a knock at the
door. Mrs. Sawyer answered it, rolling
pin in hand. It was Willie Jones who had
knocked.)
"Please, Mrs. Sawyer," said the inno
cent child, "pa would like a piece of your
pie-crust."
'Certainly, Willie," said Mrs. Sawyer,
much flattered, "but it isn't baked yet.
"He doesn't wnnt it baked."
"But he can't eat raw pie-crust."
"He isn't going to eat it."
"Then what is he going to do with it?"
"He said he wanted to mend the har
ness, and make hinges for the barn door
with it, and "
The rolling-pin hung fire, and the boy
escaped, but the barrier between the houses
of Jones and Sawyer can never be broken.
It is tougher than the pie-crust.
Worse Than Dynamite.

'These dynamite explosions over in Eng
land," said the sleeping-car conductor, "re
mind "ine; of an old woman and her iug of
yeast. She got on at a small station out be
yond Stubenville, earning a gallon jug in
her hand, wl ic i she told n e contained a fine
quality of home-made yeast. It Was well
corked and tied, and the old lady earned it
to htr berth with her, taking as much care
of it as if it had been a baby. An hour or
so later, when everybody was asleep, there
was the most tremendous explosion ever
heard in the sleeping-car, and all the neigh
bors of the woman had a shower bath of the
frothy stuff from the shattered juar. It was
dark, and they thought they were covered
with their own blood. Such screaming you
never nearct, ana tne oia woman nerseu was
the most frightened of the lot. The shaking
of the car had made the veast livelier than
dynamite, and an extra heavy urchsetit

One of the Wondert of ZTIechanlcs.
j (Engineering Review.
An absolutely exact straight-edge of
more than thirty-six inches is a wonder of
mechanism. One of six feet was not re
cently believed possible, although several
had been made on different plans of web
like and truss construction. It has been
claimed, however, that almost absolute ex
actness has been secured by a straight-edge
twelve feet long. The appliance looked
like an arched truss, the highest spnng of
the arch being only twenty inches in a
length of twelve feet. 1 he space between
the chord and the spring is filled with
diagonal lattice work, buch a ol is in
valuable in testing lathe and planer bods.
A Minister' Criticism.
! Rev. F. B. Forbusii.
The third objection lies against the class ol
goody-goody book written principally f oi
Sunday-school librari . , which teach directly,
or by Implication, that all bad boys break
their lens i or get drowned, while all the
good boys and girls die young and go to
heaven. Ptrbaps the evil be: e lies partly m
the reaction which sends youth to the other
extreme, but it is horridly poor stuff to fill
children's minds with, aud because of its
untruth to nature an I Ufa, should ba studi
onsly avoided.

A 3Xan Without a Pace.
London Globe.
There is to be seen at Landrecies, in
the department of the north, an invalid
artillery soldier, who was wounded in
in the late Franco-German war, when
he was horribly nviitilatf! by the burst
ing or a Kussian snell. Ine man s face
was literally blown off, including bot h
eyes, there being left behind some
scanty remnants of the osseous and mn-
eular systems. The skull, which is well
covered with hair, was left intact, so
that the man had a most hideoii3 and
ghastly appearance.
Ihia disfigurement has been completely
concealed by a mak, which was made
or him under the direction of the prin
cipal medical officer of Val de Grace, in
raris, whither he had been trans-
erred from the field ambulance. The
mask was constructed by a surgeon
dentist named Delalain. It include? a
false palate and a complete set of false
teeth; and it is so perfect that the
functions of respiration, which were nec
essarily and imperfectly performed, are
almost completely restored to their
normal condition, and the voice, which
was rather husky, has resumed its
natural tone. The man speaks distinctly,
too sense of smell, which hart entirely
disappeared, has returned, and he-can
even play the flute. He wears two false
eyes, simply to fill up the cavities of tho
orbits, for the parts representing the eyes
in the mask are closed. Iu fact the mask
is so' well adapted to what remains of tho
real faoe a3 to be considered one of tho
finest specimens of the prothetic art that
could be devised.
The man himself, whose name is
Moreau, and who is in perfect health, is
looked upon as a living curiosity, and
travelers go a good deal out of their way
to see him. His face, or rather his mask,
is, of course, without any expression,
but his special senses, particularly that
of touch, are extremely developed, and
ne goes by the soubriquet of "I hommo a
la tete do cire." He wears the military
cross of honor, and delights to talk about
what he had gone through during the
war. To add to his meager pension he
sells a small pamphlet containing a full
description ol his wounds, and of tne
apparatus that has been so skillfully de
vised as to render him at least present
able to his fellow creatures.

Gharles Dickens, when he first visited
Washington in 18-12, was just entering
his 80th year. He was a middle-sized,
somewhat fleshy person, and he wore a
brown frock coat, a red-figured vest and
a fancy scarf cravat, that concealed the
collar and was fastened to the bosom in
rather voluptuous folds by a double pin
and chain. His hair, wlrioh was long
and dark, grew low upon the brow, had
a wavy kink where it started from the
head, and was corkscrewed as it fell on
either side of his face. His forehead re
treated gradually from the eyes, without
any marked protuberance, " save at the
outer angle, the upper portion of which
formed a prominent ridge a little within
the assigned position of the organ of
ideality. The eyeb dls completely filled
their sockets. The aperture of the lids
was not large, nor the eve uncommonly
clear or bright, but quisle, moist aid ex
pressive. The nose was slightly aquiline,
the mouth of moderate dimensions, mak
ing no great, display of . the teeth, the
facial muscles occasionally drawing the
upper lip most strongly on the leftside
is the mouth opened in speaking. 1 1 L
fcatures, taken together, were well pro
portioned, of a glowing and cordial
aspect, with more animation than grace,
and more intelligence than beauty.

REMARKABLE RESTORATION IN THE
CASE OF A CLERGYMAN.
Rev. A. W. Moore, of Darlington, S. C,
sends us for publication the following re
sults in his case:
"Darlington, S. C, Jan. ICth, 18a3.
"Messrs. Starkey & Palen: Though
you have not solicited, I feel it to be my
duty to give the following testimonial in
favor of 'Compound Oxygen.' I inherited
the pulmonaiy taint from my mother;
and have suffered with Bronchitis from
my youth. For the last three or four years,
in the early fall, I have been prostrated
with an acute attack of severe Bronchial
Asthma. Last fall this attack was un
usually perilous, being complicated with
a general derangement of the liver, kid
neys, etc. My medical advisers could not
give much hopcm of any further work in
the ministry.
"In December I commenced the use of
your Home Treatment. Shortly after I
began its use, nearly all the symptoms
were greatly aggravated, but for the last
three weeks I have been improving. The
constant expectoration has to a great ex
tent ceased. I have a fine appetite; my
digestion is good. I sleep well. I am
now preaching twice on Sunday without
lassitude. I feel more vigor more life
than I have for years. I believe the
'Compound Oxygen' a blessed, providen

Speed of Thonslit in a Dream.
Cor. Scientific American.
A telegraph- operator was one night
during tho Turco-Iiussian war receiv
ing a press dispatch regarding the war,
in which the name of Gortschakoff wa
being telegraphed. GortschakofT's name
appearing so often in such dispatches,
toe operator, as soon as lie heard the
first syllable of the great premier's name,
went to sleep and dreamt he went to his
mother's home in the Indian territory;
went hunting with some Indian
friends; had a great deal of sport,
and went through an -experience
which would take days to perform," and
anally, after returning from the hunt
during tho division of their game, he
woke up in time to hear the final syllable
of Gortschakoffs name, and succeeded
in making a complete "copy" of the
message. At tho rale of forty words
per minute, at which telegraphing is
usually done, you will see that the time
of the dream, which commenced when
the middle syllable of Gortschakoffs
name was being made, was one-third of
one and one-third of a second, or forty
four one-hundredths of a second.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
A Yonog Girl's 'Dementia-How : It
was Occasioned Some Sew
and Startling: Truths.
The St. Louis exnress. on the New York
Central road, was crowded one evening
recently, when at one of the way stations,
an elderly gentleman, accompanied by a
young Jady, enteres the cars and nnauy
secured a seat. As the conductor ap
proached the pair, the young lady arose,
and in a pleading voice Baid:
"Please, sir, don't let him carry me to
the asylum. I am not crazy; I am a little
tired, but not mad. Oh 1 no indeed. Won't
you please have papa take me back home?"
ine conductor, accustomed tnougn ne
was to all phases of humanity, looked
witn astonishment at the rair. as did the
other passengers in their vicinity. A few
words from the father, however, sufficed,
and the conductor passed on while the
young lady turned her face to the window.
The writer chanced to be seated just be
hind the old gentleman and could not fore
go the desire to speak to him.' With a sad
face and a trembling voice the father said:
"My daughter has been attending tne
seminary in a distant town and was suc
ceeding remarkably. Her natural quali
ties, u)geiner -wun a great amomon,
placed her in the front ranks of the
school, but she studied too closely, was
not careful of her health, and her poor
brain has been turned. I am taking her
to a private asylum where we hope she
will soon be better."
At the next station the old man and his
daughter left the ears, but the incident,
so suggestive of Shakespeare's Ophelia,
awakened strange thoughts in the mind
oi the writer. It is an absolute fact that
while the population of America increased
thirty per cent during the decade between
1870 and lfc80 the insanity increase was
over one-hundred and thirty-five per cent
for the same period. Travelers by rail, by
boat, or in carriages in any part of the
land see large aad elaborate buildings,
and inquire what they are.

Each state; every county; hundreds of
private individuals, and in all cases their
capacity is taxed to the utmost.
Why?
Because men. in business and the pro
fessions, women, at home or in society,
and children at school overtax their men
tal and nervous forces by work, worry and
care. This brings about nervous disorders,
indigestion and eventually mania.
It is not always trouble with the head
that causes insanity. It far oftener arises
from evils in other parts of the bodv. The
nervous system determines the status of
the brain. Any one who has periodic
headaches; occasional dizziness; a dim
ness of vision; a ringing in the ears; a
feverish head; frequent nausea or a sink
ing at the pit of the stomach, should take
warning at once. The stomach and head
are in direct sympathy and if one be im
paired the other crfn never be in order.
Acute dyspepsia causes more insane sui
cides than any other known agency, and
the man, woman or child whose stomach
ia deranged is not and cannot be safe from
the coming on at any moment of mania
in some one of its many terrible forms.
The value of moderation and the im
perative necessity of care in keeping the
stomach right must therefore be clear to
an. ine least appearance of indigestion.
or mal-assimilaiion of food should be
watched as carefully as the first approach
of an invading army. Many means have
been advocated for meeting such attacks,
but all have heretofore been more or less
defective. There can be no little doubt,
however, that for the purpose of regulat
ing the stomach, toning it up to proper
action. Keeping its nerves in a normal con
dition and purifying the blood, Warner's
Tippecanoe The Best, excels all ancient or
recent discoveries. It is absolutely pure
and vegetable; it is certain to add vigor to
adults, while it cannot by any possibilitj
injure even a child. The fact that it was
used in the days of the famous Harrison
family is proof positive of its merit, as it
has so thoroughly withstood the test ol
time. As a tonic and revivifier it is
simply wonderful. It has relieved the
agony of the stomach iu thousands ol
cases; soothed the tired nerves; produced
peaceful sleep and averted the coming on
of a mania more to be dreaded than death
itself.
Lunacy Canned by War.
Py Figaro.
Dr. Legrand du Sau.ie, a dk
tinguished authority on the subject of
insanity, recently delivered an interest
ing leiture in the fealpetriero on the in
fluence of the siege of Paris in the pro
duction of mental disease. For a few
days after the declaration of war there
was a notable dimunition in the number
of these cases ; but as soon as it became
knowa that the Pius ians were march
ing on l'aris the anxiety and alarm felt
by the suburban population culminated
in many instances in madness of a curi
ous and rarely observed type - extreme
melancholy, accompanied" with stupor
and dazed condition of the faculties.
Three hundred and fifty thousand sub
urban residents had to take refuge in
Paris, where they found no other shel
ter than that afforded by the railway
carriages at the term'ni, which soon be
came densely crowded.
Hunger and inanition swelled the
statistics of insanity during the siege
all the more that wine was to be had in
abundance, and the men of the National
Guard spent the greater part of the 30
sous allowed them daily on drink, on
which, in fact, they and many others
lived during the last few days of the
siege. The "man'a cf inventions" be
came very cemmoa at the same time.
Gen. Trochu was constantly pestered
with lunatics, who came to lay before
him all manner of wild contrivances of
their invention for the total and in
stantaneous annihilation of the
Prussians.
Afraid or Mice.
Exchange.
As they were trudging along to school, a
5-year-old Boston miss said to her companion,
a lad of six summers: "Were you ever af
frighted at tho contiguity of a rodent)"
"Nay, forsooth," he replied; "I fear not the
juxtaposition of the creature, but dislike its
alarming tendency to an intimate propin
quity." THE

ECZEMA!
Eczema is erne of the ugliest and most
troublesome of all blood diseases. It pro
ceeds from humors in the blood which are
sometimes very difficult te eradicate. For
five weary years Mr. J. D. Rodefer, of
Greendale, Y a., suffered terribly from this
disease. He writes: "Finding no relief
in the many medicines till I used Brown's
Iron Bitters, I purchased three bottles;
from the use of which I have obtained al
most entire relief. I recommend it to
every one in my neighborhood for any dis
order of the blood and as a general tonic."

- lirevliy Is the Soul of XVIU
rBaltimorean.
The following amusing story, which
was told by Franklin, ought to be raid
and acted upon by all correspondent.-:
communicating their thoughts to the
newspaper press.
A young man, on commencing busi
ness proposed to paint over his shop
window, "John Thompson,hatter, makes
and sells hats for ready money," to
which was added the sign of a hat.
One friend suggested that, as he make
and sold hats, the word ''hatter was
unnecessary. It was therefore struck out
and the sign remained, "John Thompson
makes and sells hats for ready money.'
Another friend advised him to omit
the phrase "for ready money," as there
would occur occasions for selling on
credit; and so the skni read: "John
Thompson makes and sells hats."
It was then hinted the buyer of the
bat did not care who made it, and thai
the sign would be better if it read: "John
Thompson soils hats."
But another amputation was in store
still, for a critic pointed out the useless
ness of the phrase "sells hats," for, said
he, "no one would ever suppose that the
hats were to be given away for nothing.''
Thus, at last, this aspiring tradesman
commenced business, like many worthy
successors, under the modest sign oi
"John Thompson."
Camphor for Cholera
Helical Journal.
Dr. Dudgeon, the famous homeopath
ist physician of London, recalls the
fact apropos of Koch'3 investigations
into the nature of the cholera germ
that Hahnemann in 1831 suggested that
the contagious matter of cholera con
sisted of "excessively minute invisible
living creature?," an i accordingly ad
vised the free use of camphor, which he
held to be a potent cholera bacilicide
to the efficacy of which treatment, adds
Dr. Dudgeon, the statistics of every
epiden'o in Europe testify.

Hardened" Liver.
Five years ago I broke down with kid
ney and liver complaint and rheumatism.
Since then I have been unable to be about
at all. My liver became hard like wood:
my limbs were puffed up and filled with
water.
All the best physicians agreed that noth
ing could cure me. I resolved to try Hop
Bitters; I have used seven bottles; the
hardness has all gone from my liver, the
swelling from my limbs, and it has worked
a miracle in my case; otherwise I would
have been now in my grave. J. W. MoRtY,

say to all poor men, you can keep your

less than one doctor's visit will cost. I
