The very large number of ‘fuvalid people who daily visit Buflilo, from every quarter of the {'nilod States and Canada, that they m:lP' consult Dr. RV, PIERCE, and the widaly eclebrated Faculty of Specialists in Medicine and Surgery associated with him, rendered it nccessary that'the fhunder of this institution should provide a place on o grrand and conmmodions: scale for thedir entertainment and comfort. o ADVANTAGES OFFERED.—Phe Invalids’ -ITotel is more complete in its appointments than any simi-Jar-institution in the workd, The tiniliing is located ‘1 one of the most healthful and desirable portions of the City'of Buttulo, ind connnands a fine view of Lake Erie, Niagnra River, and the surrounding countryy being situnted in the midst of an extensive systeny of beautitul parks. -The Hotel is turnished with a patent safety passcuger clevator, tos convey patients to anel from the ditferent floors; is provided with all kinds of approved hathg, and has also connected with it a well-uppoinfed gvanmasiun and bowling alley to afford proper means of excéreise. 2 i CHRONIC BISEASES of all forms, whether require ing medical, surgical, or mechanical, treatment, come whhin the provinee of our several specialties.

Dry friction to the surface, general shampooing, Swedish moves sments, and light calisthenjc¢ exercises, to enliven and equalize the circulation of the blood in the system relieve congested parts, improve digestion, and strengthen the muscles, [l)roduce important beneficial results in all cases to which these means are ap{)llcable.. No cxperimenting is resorted to in the treate ment. The most approved medicines are carefull employed, and _the iudlcious reégulation of the dle{ to suit the condition of the patient, the thorot:qh ven= tilation of the.sleeping apartment, the cheering ine fluenee of musie, social intercourse, innocent games for amuscment, and all those agencies which tend to arouse the Jninrl of the patient tfrom despondency, and thus pvomote recoyery, are not neglected. : NERVOUS RlSEASES.—Paralysis, Epilepsy (Fits), Chorea (5t Vitus’s Dance), and other nervous afféctions, receive the attention of an expeit in this S{)e-, clalty. by which the greatest skilliis attained and the! mogt happy results seécured, i ‘ LUNG DISEASES.—This division of the practice in the Tuvalids’ Hotel Is very ably managed by a geniof mature i]ull;.rmnn, and- skill.

: The Fox-Boy. = A Rochester (Ind.,) correspondent of the Plymouth Democrat, gives to the world the following as a curiosity of nature: ! 7

| A little child eight years old, son of a German farmer of this county, named Felder, died a few days ago of whooping cough. It was, perhaps, the greatest human curiosity ever known in this part of the State. Dy some it was called the boy-fox as it resembled one about as much as the other. Ifs arms and legs were human in form, while its feet and hands were fashioned like the feet of animals of the feline species. It was bent forward, and it was unable to stand until a year ago, when it would pass around the house on its feet and claw the wall with the sharp nails in which the fingers terminated, while it emitted a. sharp yelp like'the angry foxjrp-lxis was the only noise it was ever known t 9. make, never crying Jike common ¢hii-. dren. The upper part of the head and face were perfectly human in appehrance, but the chin was considerabfs enlongated. It would not attempt to feed itself and never indicated in any :way that it ever became hungry. It ‘refused to eat everything that required chewing, even when put to its mouth, and subsisted entirely on milk and broths. The father, who died two years ago, belonged to a family noted for their intelligence,—a brother being educated for a priest in the Catholic church, but afterward renouncing that religion and becoming an effective worker in the Albright church. The mother of the child was a schoolmate of the writer, and was considered an ordinary young- lady of comely ‘appearance, No one has yet tried to account for the wonderful mixture of the human and animal by calling it Darwin’s missing link, but it ‘cannet be denied that it was the production of one of nature’s strangest freaks.

The Local Paper. [Columbue Demoecrat ]

To make a good local paper each individual should make it his business to furnish the editor with all the local news that comes under his observation. The editor cannot see and hear everything, and those who see or hear everything worthy ofpubtﬁation, would confer & great favor upon him by telling him and at the same time very materially assist in m;_xking a good paper. The great tronbleislocal papers are not appreciated as much as they should- be, and a great many families do not take them at all. TTow, many families are there residing in this county who do not take their home paper ? 1t 1s hard to tell. Yet, these same families are subsecribers to toreign story papers filied with romance. They do a great injustice to their families in this way, as they do not give their children an opportunity of krowing what is going on in their own county, but instead fill them with romance that poisons their minds to all that i 3 good and elevating, Let all take this matter into consideration and if the local paper does not furnish them with as much foreign news as a metropolitan journal, it eertainly furnishes them with that which should be of far more value to them=the home news. :

% ) P Hayes® Anti-Silver Commissioners. i [Cincinnati Enquirer.]

The Senate on the 19th inst. considered and confirmed: the nominations made by the President for the International Monetary Conference. The nomination of Mr. Groesbeck was indorsed by the Senate with complimentary promptness. There wassome hesitation about the nomination of General Walker, not on the ground that he has too little ability or too little information on this topie, but because he has too much bias. It was doubtless argued in Executive Session that the man who doesn’t believe that silver should be money at all is not the fittest person. to decide the ratio that should exist between silver and gold as money.. But the nomination of General Walker was confirmed, while that of Ex-Governor and ExSenator Fenton was at first rejected. ‘When the President nominated C. B. Lawrence, of Illinois, in place of Fenton, the Senate confirmed the nomination of Fenton, evidently as a choice between evils. Mr. Fenton has no visible fitness for the place, and the nomination wasn’t made to gratify Conkling, = 2t :

Why the Pope is Said to Think of Ab- ; dicating. 5 " (From the Pall Mall Gazette.) .

- RomE, June I.—A Scotch physician long resident in Rome, coming out from an audience of the Pope the other day,said: *‘“Never havel seen such a change in any. human being unless prodaced' by some, physical illness. Cardinal Pecci was a tall, erect, wellknit figure, his presence was imposing, his- gestures commanding, his voice sonorous and vibrating. ILeo XIII.is a bent old man, Lis hand shakes as with palsy, his voice is ‘hoarse, and the glance of his eye uncertain and suspicious.” This statement tallies. with that of the PPope’s friends and partisans, who are sincerely anxious about his health, - Ile appears to bein a state of extreme despondency; all his projects for reform are frustrated, all his hopes of reconciliation with civil powers abandoned. ITe finds himself watched atevery step. Merely to admit Padre Curel te his presence he was obliged to resort’'to stratagem, and lodge him in his own brother’s apartment. - g :

: Communists Mustn’t Sheot. - The Executive Committee of the Socialistic party have issued a circular condemning the formation of military organizations for the defense of the rights of that party, and requesting all’ party members to withdraw from the said military copnections, and particularly urging all sections to avoid ary efficial connection with such bodies, and to requize that no arms be carried 1n their processions. 1f parties thus banded with arms insist on- joining processions against the” wishes of the sections, such sections are advised to compel compliance with their orders, : | v TR e . ~ GERMAN newspapers cor:tinue to be filled with accounts .of the interrap-. tion of communist meetings and the arrest of the persons of that political persuasion. The intention of the government, apparently,is to intimidate the socialists and prevent the election of their candidates to the imperial legislature. This policy 1s wo‘;ﬁng; 80 successfully that the Emperor’s health improves rapidly.

Too many farmers are mortgaging their farms, with so little profit, too, of ever meeting the payment. - Not many years -ago it was an uncommon thing for 1,. farmers to be much in debt. As a class they are regarded as careful not to iive beyond their incomes, and® it -was almost an unheard of occurrence for a farmer to *“go into bankruptey;” but of late years a good many of them hiave failed, and many more are on the verge of financial ruin. The question is naturally asked, “How is this brought about?” The true solution to the question is found in the fact. that many farmers have been borrowing money at ruinous rates of interest, giving mortgages on their farms to secure the “money sharks,” and when pay day comes around, as it is sure to do, they find themselves without the means to meet their first obligations; then they borrow of Peter to pay Panl, ~until at last they find they have borrowed themselves out of house and home. No farmer, and indeed few business men can afford to borrow much money at ten or seven per cent. The principal and'the interest will eat } them up before you know it. Better ‘ sell a portion of your land than to borrow\money and give a mortgage on ‘ the whole of it. There are a set of monied sharks who make it a-business to loan money to farmers, notso much for the gain it will bring them in in{ terest as an expectation they have to | ultimately get possession of their farms through the inability of the farmer to pay. . Labor assiduously to get the most out of your farm, to im- ‘ prove it and make it the best you can; but do not borrow money at a high rate of interest, and patch it over with a mortgage you may never be able to lift. Have no more to do with the monied sharks than you would with a man who is afflicted with a. virulent case of small-pox. One is about as dangerous as the other. :

The Right Talk. (South Bernd Herald.)

We like the way the democratic newspapers in 'the Southern States talk upon the subject of the southern claims growing out of the war. -The Nodaway Democrat, of Missouri, holds forth as follows: S

The danger to the United States treasury is not from claims of persons who aided the rebellion, but from the claims of persons residing_ in the Southern States or having property in those States who were, oripretended to be, or. who, for the sake of aiding ~claims, now pretended to have been loyal to the government of the Union. ' Such claims, even of loyal persons. wlhiere they are from acts caused by operations of war, have been disowned by the public law of civilized nations, condemned by adjudications of the Supreme Court of the United . States, and' only find any statusiby forces of specifie legisiation of Con~gress. These claims "have become stale, and are often tainted with fraud. “They are nearly always owned, in ‘whole or in part, Ly claim agents, by speculators, or lobbyists, who have no equity agdinst tax-payers or the public. Neither the House of Represeutatives or the demOerLic party should be called. to account for bills introdueed, but for bills passed the Democratic IHouse.and the Republican Senute shou!d be held to the strictest responsibility. : .

Edmunds® Little Joke.

Senator Edmunds says there are:- so many presidential candidates on-ihe committee on judiciary that business is very much behind, He 'says that on the day when the committee meets, Conkling will come in first and find a slim attendance. .lle will sit a little Whil‘e,' impatiently, and say: ~ “Well, I don’t suppose there will be a quorum this morning, and I have other matters to attend to. If Davis and Thurman would drop their presidential aspirations, and attend to committee business, we counld do something.” ; o : And he will go out. Then Thurman- will come in and ask:

“Where’s Conkling ®” . When. told that he had been in and left to look after some other business, he will say: . “Where’s Davis ?” “Pavis hasn’t come.”

. “Well,” Thurman will say, “Conkling and Davis have got the presiden¢y on the brain, and of course weean’t expect anything of them. Call me when you get a quorum.” , And he will go out. Then Davis will come in and say: .

“Well, Conkling and Thurman are absent again, Those two men are so busy working up their presidential campaigns that they neglect their senatorial duties.” ¢

And soo it goes, every week, Edmunds savs. ¢ - :

Changed Fortunes, {Chicago Post.)

We have in ourmind a bniliant and cultivated young lawyer who started in life with twenty thousand dollars and a refined, beautiful, and accomplished wife. Heis now a sort of fac‘totum in a carpet manufactory, running hither and ‘thither at the beck and call of those whom he secretly despises, doing heavy tasks far beyond his strength, yet eager and anxious to please. lest the slender support which he derives from his menial work be cut off. We know a gentleman who was a bank president ten years ago and owned his carriage, who now does copying in an insurance office at $35 a month,supporting—God knows how —a wife and five children on it. We know of a gentleman who once held a high office in a Western State whe this winter solicited work at cleaning out offices and building fires. Nor have the ¢hanged times less bitterlyaffected women, but rather more. Jennie Collins, of Boston, famg%l for her Employment Bureau and: Werkingwoman’s'Home, which she calls “Boffin’s Bower,” says in her last report: “Many kind ladies. who have hired their servants of me in past years have been obliged to apply for employment themselves of late. I sent a lady to a hotel as housekeeper, and the most! humiliating part of it was that her room was in the attic with two of her servants.”. We are constantly learning ot women of education and refinement, formerly wealthy; who are engaged as seamstresses, nurses, and housekeepers; and in one case we even know of a lady, who would be at home in any parlor in the land among educated -people, who served as a cook in a hotel for months.

A Bad Case of Usury,

The Virginia city, Nev’ Interprise says: “We:were yesterday told the particulars of a case of a young man who is being eaten up by [interest at about as lively a rate as though he were being devoured by g devil fish. His case is a reminder of the celebrated horse shoe nail problem. It appears that in 1876 the young man, not’ then of age, was the keeper of a restaurant in this city. On one ‘oceasion he ' required some money, and a lawyer boarding with him loaned him $5O, the young man saying that, as interest on the sum,; he would not charge the lawyer for his board until be paid him back his money. The lawyer said this was all right, and the next day brought the boy a note to be signed by him, in which interest on the $5O was charged at the rate $1.40 per day, the lawyer saying that this was about the value of what he was eating.each day. The boy strongly: objected to signing the note, but was finally induced to put his name to the paper. The lawyer went on eating —the bay not'finding it in his power to keep going and pay the sso—+till the restaurant “busted” out. Finally the young man, who had gone to work in some restaurant in town, was sued on the note by the lawyer, who obtained judgment with interest at the rate of $1.40 per day. The young man’s wages, amounting to s\l%'§;\\i'.ere at-tached-and gobbled, yvet the note was far from being paid. Now the lawyer is going after his vietim agan, and the principal and interest yesterday amounted to just $725.50, not saying anything about what the lawyer ate and the $ll6 he got by attaching the young man’s wages. . i '

Signs of a Prosperous Farmer.

- ‘When you see his barn larger dhan his house, it shows-that he will Lave latge profits and small afflictions.’ * When you see him driving his work, instead of his work driving him, it shows that he will never be driven from goed resolutions, and that he will certainly work his way to prosperity. i ;, - Whed you always see in his’'woodhouse a sufficiency for three months or more, it shows that he will be more than a ninety days’ wonder in farming operations, and that he is not sleeping in his house after adrunken frolic.

~When he has a house separate from themain building, purposely for astes, and an iron or tin vessel to transport them, it shows that he never built his dwelling to be a funeral pile for his family, and, pérhaps, himself.: When his sled is housed in summer, and Lis farming implements covered both winter and summer, it plainly shows that he will have a good house over his head in the summer of early life and the winter of old age. When his cattle are properly shielded and fed in winter, it evidences that helis acting according to the Seripture, which says that “a merciful man is merciful to his beast.” : 7

When he is seen subsecribing for papers, und paying in advance, it shows that he is speaking likeé a book respecting the latest improvements in all matters, and that he never gets his walking péapers to the land of poverty.

“1” Instead of “We.”B (LaPorte Argus.) e : One of the regular correspordents of the Argus makes the following request: : i ;

“In the next Argus, tell me and other correspondents what you think ot the practice I and many others have of nsing the pronoun we.”

| It is entirely wrong and should never be used. 'lnstead of “we” the pronoun “1” should always be used by a correspondent. There is hardly asufficient excuse to justify editors in the use of the plural pronoun, but it 1s done chiefly to avoid a tiresome repetition of the name of the paper, and ‘because an editor generally speaks as the representative of a class. The A - gus undertook, several years ago, to get its correspondents out of the habit of saying’ “we,” but all our efforts proved unavailing, and we abandoned the work “more in sorrow than in anger.,” If the correspoi.dents of the Argus only would say “1” instead of “we” it would make us very, yery happy. Of eourse, we do not want to be understood ‘aB finding fault, for this error of our correspondents is one that is almost universal and it is not seriously objectionable.

On Corns.

In a lecture at the St. Louis Hospital, Paris. on hypertrophy of the epidermis, M. Guibout observed that, while in callosities the hypertrophi--ed part becomes pyramidal, and takes: the form of a nail, with its point directed toward the deeper seated parts, This sharp point, lodged in a kind of cupalo, which exactly.boxes it in, has a tendency to penetrate into:the substance of the dermis whenever the base of the corn is compressed. The portion of the dermis which is in permanent contact with the: epidermie induration becomes inflamed and altered in -character, its papille disappearing, so that at last it becomes a true matrix, 'destinéd to. form deep, new, horny epidermic layere, in proportion as the more superficial layers are eliminated. = .- .= et

Changes of the weather often give rise to great pain.in corns, ‘which has been supposed to be due to their hygrometric nature, which, by causing their enlargement, adds to the suffering. ‘But, infact, the exacerbations are less severe during the time that it rains than they are for some days preceding; and they are also to be met with when the weather is about to ichange from wet to dry.” These painful exacerbations of the pain of corns are quite as remarkable and as inexplicable as are those of rheumatic pains, Thesole eficacious treatment is ‘ excision, but care must be taken: that that this is comptete. - The sSummit of the cone must be cut down to, so as to entirely empty the ‘dermic cupalo. Then it is quite necessary to destroy, by cauterization,’ the inner surface of this-cupola, namely, the matrix of the corn, which will otherwise ‘be reproduced. - : Mo e

The Lest caustic is sulphurie acid, of which we may deposit a drop, by a macch or glass rod, on the excised part. 1f the corn recurs, the same processes of ‘excision and ‘cauterization 'must again be resorted 'to.——ScienLi{c Amenrtean. TR G et

Natural Selection.

Investigators of natural science have demonstrated beyond-controversy,that throughout the animal kingdom the “survival of the .fittest” is the ouly law that vouchsafes thrift and perpetuity.

The Sting of Bees a Remedy for Rheumprio s IR AN T e e e

- The Braeger Landwirthschaftliches - Wochenblatt contains the foliowing in regard to the cure of rheumatism by .means of bee-stings. The eorrespondent says: “That his wife having suf-. fered so much as'to be unable to enjoy any sleep or rest for ihe space of six months, the right arm being almpst lame, preventing the sufferer . from ‘doing any household ivork, making ber even unable to dress ur undress herself, and having heard that a farmer, quite incapaciated’ by rheumatism, had been accidentally stung by bees, and thereby got entirely cured, he persuaded his wife to try this remedy, as the pain from the sting of the bees would not be greater than that already suffered. Three bees were therefore lid and pressed upon the right arm for a considerable time, in order that the poison-bladder of the insects should: entirely empty itself. - The effect produced was astonishing, as the lady, even on the first night, was enabled to enjoy a long, good sleep, the first time 'for at least six months, the ' racking pain_being entirely gone, :The arm was, of course, swollen greatlyin consequence of the sting, but the swelling .disappeared gradually-u i« tlie application of some cooling lotion.

The notorious Mrs. Clem isagain in the toils. This time on a charge of grand larceny. It seems she has been carrying on a crooked business at Indianapolis ever since her release from the penitentiary. She has succeeded in swindling several thousand dollars from several persons, and so accomplished has she been .in her villainy that she could not be reached. At length she came’ across Hezekiah Hinkston, a well-to-do farmer near Southport, who loaned her $3,000, but he has proved a tough. customer for her, and has succeeded in securing her arrest. and confinement in jail. It is said that the officers areion a hot trail and the public is hopeful that the clutches of the law will hold her fast.
