He was or ginally a weaver, but adopt ed the more paying business of pre tending; to cure all d soases and profess ing to foretell the destinies of his pa tients. The apothocar'es of that time not only actod as med'eal quacks, but also as fortune-tellers. Queen Anne had weak eyes and was an enthusiastic patron of vulgar ignorance in the form of eye-doctors. Two of them she fan cied especially; and one of these, . Will iam Reado, she made a Baronet, al though he was most wretchedly igno rant, as a "Short and Exact Account ot AH the Diseases Incident to the Eyes," which h publishes 1, remains to testify. Keado wai a worthless tailor, but he stepped into a fashionable and paying practice after he obtained the royal favor. He was unable to read the took wh!ch he wrote (by thehanaofascr.be), but that made no difference to the wealthy fools, his patrons. The Queen s other favorite quack oculist was Roger Grant, a retired coVbler and Anabaptist preacher. Grant was in the habit of pablish'ng minute accounts of h"s cures, mostly a tissue of lies, but with encugh truth interwoven to give a aetublancj of probability. His favorite plan was to secure some poor person whose sight was lnijt'rfect, and after giving him money and medicines for a few w-.eks perua;ie him to sign a test" mon'al that he had been born blind and had never enjoyed the sense of sight until I'rov'dence had le I him to Dr. Grant, who had cured him in litt'e more than a month. If he could buy a cer tificate from the clergymen and churc'i warden i of the parish where the alleged patient lived, to the effect that the teti monial was true, ve:y well; if he could not ob ain genuine documents of th: knd he could always find people to fore thoni for a smali'sum. The recent impudent cert ticates. apparently signed by numerous prominent people, attest ing the v rtues of a bra-id of bit ters made . in an Eastern city, show that the qtfeks of this order are st'U to be found ply ing the'r infamous trade. The most famous and learned, for the t:m3 physicians of that age, did not disdain to "deal in secret nostrums. Thus. Sir Hans S'oane sold an eye salve, and Dr. Meade a remedy for hydrophobia. Con sequently the quacks were justilied in making what they could out of a public which was not too intelligent to bs swindled by their most renowned phy sicians. The doctors, at least, had no reasonable gronnji for complarnt. In the 8 ee'alnr for July 27, 1714, there is an amusing account of a typ cal quack of the period, and Steele ' has recorded some capital anecdotes of these gentry. One of them c'a'med he could cure cataracts "because he had lost an eye in the Emper; r"s srrvice. Tn:s evidence of abilitv was thought all sufficient by the good people who patronized him". One fe'low, calling himself Dr. Katter felto, trave'eit about w'.th a large cige eontain ng a number of black cats, which seemed equal to a modern diploma in the way of ins;ir rig confidence in his powers. St. Louis Globe-DcmvcraL. STYLES IN ADVERTISING. What a Reliable Itrooklrn Expert Has to ; Say A boat Them. ! "The style of advertising has greatly hanged within Hie past few years," aid a gentleman in charge of the ad vertising iTepartment of one of Brook lyn's largest dry goods, establishments. "Am advertisement to command atten tion must be orig'nal. The public have tired of snch ads.' as 'John Smith will receive his customers at his old stand,' or "Blank & Blank sell dry goods cheaper than any other house in town.' The present generation is progressive, and to attract attent'on one must, be orig'nal. Old fashioned ads. are .pliiye l oat. In former years, even in such b:g houses as Stewart's in New ilork, the clerk at the lutton counter was delegated m his o.T moments to Write the advertisements for the news papers. J.ow a'l is changed. Every large business house has its separate advert' sing department. Some house even empfoy as many a3 two and three men to look after their advertising. Since the p'c-torial craze has obtained ench a foothold many firms h'ad their columns with pictures descriptive of the txds offered for sale. And then the ad. must be written so as to attract the eye of the reader, if & firm has a quantity of underwear to sell, it is folly to say so in t ie first line. First get vour reader interested. Talk about the Xorth Pole ; say that it is cold in that region" and incidentally Taent'on that winter is coming and that underwear at this season is not an inap propriate subjec-t.

GREA a historic Sword The Weapon Wielded by Captain Held at the "Ther mopyla of the Ocean. The presentation to Congress, through the President, by Colonel Samuel' C. Reid, of the battle saber of his father, the late Captain Samuel Chester Reid, who commanded the United States private-armed brig-of-war General - Arm strong at the battle Fayal in Septem ber, 1814, is excuse enough for reviving some incidents which have passed out of mind. The Armstrong was a little brig of but 210 tons, carrying but 7 guns . and 90 men.- She was at tacked in the neutral waters of the Azore. Islands by a British squadron, consisting of the-ship-of-the-line Plan tagenet, the frigate Reta, and the sloop-of-war Carnation, with a total amount of 13(J guns and 2,000 men. Tho British lost over 800 of their picked men and officers in killed and wounded, while the Armstrong lost but 2 killed and 7 wouudod. The action has well been called the "Thermopylae of the Ocean," for no naval battle in ancient or modern history is compara ble with that of the Armstrong at Faval, either as to the unequal forces engaged, the unyielding and inflexible bravery of her othcers and crew, nor as to the grand results which followed in the defeat of tho British expedition against Louisiana, The height of heroism and romantic chivalry were displaved by Captain Reid and his crew in the last act of this extraordinary naval "drama. After scuttling his vessel to save her from capture he went ashore with his men and arms, when the commander of the squadron. Admiral Llovd, demanded their surrender and threatened to send five hundred men to take them. Reid retired with his men to an old Gothic convent, which he fortified, knocked away the draw-bridge, ran up the American flag, and bade the enemy de fiance. Lloyd quailed under the last exhibition of heroic courage, saving they were demons and not men. The squadron under Llovd was on its way to the Island of Jamaica to join the great fleet assembling titer under Admiral Lrfuil Cochrane, after ward Earl of Dundonald, who was con fidentialy intrusted with the secret ex pedition for the conquest of Louisiana. The last hope of England to wrest the control of the Mississippi river and the province of Louisiana from France had been foiled by Napoleon, who, seeing that he had no means of protect ing it from the conquest of England, ceded it to the United States in 1803. Ou the declaration of war by the United States, inJ312, Eng land's eyc3 were once more turned to the coveted possession, and, after mak ing a demonstration against Washing ton and B iltimore, she assembled her combined fleets, no longer needed for the blockade of the French coasts at Negril Bay, Jamaica, to carry out this great design. The crippled condition of Lloyd's squadron had created a de lay of over ten days in repairing dam ages, as they were occupied over three days alone in burying their dead. On the arrival of Lloyd at Jamaica a fur ther delay of a week took place. Ad miral Lord Cochrane' being furious at Lloyd's disaster, which finally proved fatal to the expedition. The fleet diil not arrive off Lake Boevue until four days after the arrival of Gener al Jackson with his forces, which barely gave him time to make a de fense, that had the fleet arrived ten days sooner, when New Orleans and the coast was utterly 'defenseless, an easy conquest would have been made, and once in possession it is doubtful if the treaty of peace would have been ratified by England. Thus it is clearly demonstrated that if Captain Reid had surrendered his vessel against such an overwhelming force, which he might have done without the imputation of rowardice, Louisiana might to-day be tinder the flag of St. George. To Captain Reid is not only due the tredit of this victory, but its general results in saving a domain now more than three times larger, than the terri tory of France, and it is worthy to be remembered that this gallant sailor be came afterward the designer of the present form of the United States flag, as adopted by Con-ess in 1818. His name and fame deserve to be com memorated, and Congress should show the gratitude of the people by making an appropriation for a substantial and enduring testimonial to his bravery and usefulness. Cor. X. Y. Time. Profits from Lecturing. Greeley paid for Chappaqua by his lectures. B .yard Taylor cleared in the same manner $5,500 in one season. Tilton ised to deliver fifty lectures in a season at $75 to $100. Josh Billings had all the engagements he wanted at $100, and he left an estate of $75,000, all made after he had passed forty. Chapin made $30,000 by his lectures, and Emerson got rich in the same man ner. Anna Dickinson was at one time worth $15,000 made in this manner, but it was lost through misman agement. Mark Twain has made be tween $25,000 and $30,000 by his lec tures and twice as much by his books, and he knows how to take care of it. Beechcr has received more money for lectures than any other man on the platform record. lie has been lec turing for forty years, his fee having increased from $50 to $300, and the ag gregate amount being estimated at a quarter million.

From this arose thecontrastingepithets f the "Black Prelacy' and the 'Blue Presbyt rian.' " Whatever the teacher is the child is very soon, in some tlegrec, to become. If the teacher is a trifler, so is tho pu ;il. If the teacher has no high aspira tions, neither has the pupil. If the teacher is reckless, hot headed, pas sionate, so must the oupil become when ,nt under the influence of such a char acter. The teacher without inspira tion in the direction of developing the character of the pupil as to tho full power of self-control and kindred vir tues, should be relieved from duties and responsibilities of the office.

THE EFFECTS OF MEHTAX. IXHAUSHOS. Many diseases, especially those of the ner vous system, are the products of daily renewed mental exhaustion. Business avocations often involve an amount of mental wear and tear very prejudicial to physical health, and the professions, if arduons!y pursued, are no less destructive to brain and nerve tissue.
