Passengers by the Oregon express
themselves deligfited with the. manner
in which that vessel was governed by
CapL Connor on her last trip up. A reg
ulation by which the grand scramble for
places at the table is avoided, was re

its continued enforcement will make
travelling per steamer much more pleas

The illustrated subjects offer unusual
opportunities for picturesque treatment.
At the. outset the reader, in "A Peninsular

scarcely be said to be known at all), as

ticle, also illustrates it with eighteen
novel pictures of character and scenery.
In addition there are contributions from
Vj. P. Lothrop, R. II. Stoddard, W. W.
Harney and others. In all, making it a
most excellent and interesting number.

Drunkenness is not fnore a na
tional vice than it is a national
disease. The reformatories which
have been established for the cure
of drunkenness have only attained
partial success. The Inebriate
Asylum established by the btate
of New York at Bingham ton, ac
cording to late reports, has only
effected a reformation or cure in a
small per cent of cases. The
I pathology of drunkenness has at
tracted a great deal ot attention
during the last quarter of a century.
But a largf class of inveterate
drunkards have been considered
incurable, as much so perhaps as
the incurably insane. Here and
there a drunkard who appears to
be fargone is restored, or so nearly
so that he only lapses after long
intervals. His life, however, is
one long struggle against his old
enemy. He is afraid to encounter
temptation. lie is fully aware
that his appetite is only sleeping,
and that at any time the demon
may be aroused within him. Men
have recovered from drunkenness
and remained sober for years, and
then have fallen into the old ways be
cause the: sleepingappetite had been
aroused by some stimulant thougt
lessly taken. Now if smiie remedy
could be found whereby the appetite
for strong drink could be utterly
extinguished, and that without in
juring the patient in the least, we
should say that a great boon would
be conferred upon humanity. At
one time and another remedies
have been proposed. But none of
them have been satisfactory. Pa
tients have been made deathly
sick uy violent meuicmet,, a lew
cases have been cited where the
appetite had been wholly destroyed
but the authenticity of there rates
rests rather upon tradition than
upon any tangiable facts. No
remedy would be popular, or come
. , ' , l . , '. ,., ,
"'to general use, which is likely
to kill the patient as to cure him.

assumed at the outset that the two j "iff legs were. He told the m
kinds of drunkenness, continuous j spector that a few days previous a
and periodical, are a disease. The
victim drinks against his will.
Nothing can restrain him. The
entreaties of wife, children, the
certain ruin of his affairs, and his
own physical destruction, will not j
keep him back from indulgence. I
The craving is overmastering. He j
must drink if certain destruction j
comes within an hour. It is the

is a proiessionai man aim uau ucen
a cTrinkcr for twenty years. Dur
ing the past year he had consumed
about a quart of whisky a day.
He declares that a bottle of whisky
had been standing on his shelf for
several days, and that he had not
the slightest desire for liquor. He
considers his salvation complete.
The gist of this cumulative testi
mony is that the patient has no
desire to return to his old habit.
This testimony is corroborated by
the personal observation in a num
ber of instances of one or more
citizens known to us. It is further
affirmed that Dr. D'Unger fur
nishes the remedy at about the
cost, and that the information is
not given for the purpose of mak
ing money.
In view cf such facts, criticism
- i - I 1...-1 r
is in a great measure disarmed.
Is there a harmless and positive
remedy for drunkness, and one
within the reach of most persons
who have suffered from dipsoma
nia? Can an inveterate drunkard,
one who has been given up by his
friend, be radically cured, and that
by a process both simple and harm
less. The subject is certainly oi.e
of great mo'iient. Facts when
they come to light can only be
given in a general way. In a
single instance known to us m this
vicinity where the remedy was ap
plied, a cure has been reported.
The name, of course, cannot be
given. But cases are cited br
others outside this pamphlet which
seems to be more striking than
any of those cited therein. If
! there is a soverign remedy for
drunkness, harmless and easy of
application, the facts ought to be
known to the public.

Health Inspector Cronant-)f
Jersey city, while" engagcHn ' his
daily examination of the cow
stables and cattle yards in that
city and vicinity a few days ago,
Avas, b' accident, placed in posses
sion of facts which, when fully in
vestigated, be expects will dis
close a business which is carried
on in that city in violation of all
law and decency. After making
a tour of inspection among the
cattle in a yard on Tonnelle
avenue, on the Heights, he was
about to drive off when he discover
ed the log of a horse. He asked
the stableman where that came
from, and for an answer the man
took him to another portion of the
yard where the three remain-
horse had died at the place and a
man came there who skimmed the
carcass and cut off the legs." What
became of the carcass after that,"
asked the inspector, and the man
replied that it had been cut up into
lf dozen pieces and taken away
with the hide. Inspector Cronan
pressed his qu stions, and the
man told him that the person who
took away the hide and carcass
1 kept a place just outside of the
city limits, and that the carcasses
of all dead animals he got were
disposed of to sausage makers.
The man then grew reluctant and
denied that be knew tbe man's
name or tbe exact location of his
place of business. He said be did
not charge him anything for re-
moving the carcass, and that
- been the first time he. had
had
ever
visited bis stable.
