ONE of the latest of Mr. Edison's singular Inventions is what he calls the "blind writing ink," which, after drying, swells and hardens until It rises perceptibly above the paper, and may be read by the blind, as they read the raised letters in the books printed for their use. By writing with this preparation they oan communicate with each other, and a great field of happiness and mental Improvement is opened to them.

THOMAS H. BOWLES, a promirient lawyer of Indianapolis, committed suicide in his office, last Monday morning, by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. The deceased was between forty and fifty years old and stood high at the bar as an honest, painstaking and competent lawyer. He left a wife and three children. The cause of his death Is attributed to a temporary derangement of mind caused by ill health and over-work. __________

INDIANAPOLIS, whioh, since the Cold Spring tragedy, has been the scene of so many hellish and Inadequately punished murders, bad another tragedy this week. Henry Quetig, nephew of the proprietor of the Spencer House was enamored with. Mary McGlew, one of the dining room girls. Henry'a habits were bad and she, a virtuous girl, did not of late return his affection with as much warmth as be demanded. So on Thursday evening he loaded his pistol with five balls, and walking up to where she stood in a doorway, with some other girls, with only a word of warning, began pour tag them into her head and tody, causing immediate death. The mother of the girl resides in Paris, Ills. The murderer is now in jail and wants to be hung. He should not be allowed to plead in vain, and no time should be allowed for him to change his mind. v,

THE Indifference and inactivity of wealthy men in the South, while the yellow fever is mowing down their neighbors, is the subject of much comment. It is delicately hinted at by newspapers in the North, and one paper in the South speaks out plainly. Starting out with the statement that there an many rich men in Memphia, and that none of them have been conspicuous in contributions to save the people from starvation and disease, the Avalanche, of that olty, says: "Wewho are here to-day do not feel like minding phrases or gloaaing over facts. But we is^do mean to say, in plain English, that *»f£iempWa haa one other corse than the $3piagu«, and that ounw is her rtahmen. ^-fljUsr mean, selfish penurtouaneas, we «t*&k tbo rich men of Memphis oan beat itbe world, ancient or modern and these is not a man standing here to-day, ^e greatest plague In all history* Wfcit will not indorse this senUmeoU1" This x»mfee from the bitterness 1of the heads of men in the midst of the trouble, who. in the Jaoe of the demonstrative g&iafiosHy of Northern cities, sea, In strong light, the ooolness and indifference of weo at home who should le fiiM helper* and given.

There is a worM*|fWl^§Om tatJbe old maxim, "Oobler, stick to jiSpr* last" There tea general tendencyarnqng men, especially in this country, to. dowhatevar will pay thenrbest justei the time. The offer of a larger income seldom fills to draw them from one panuitto another, no matter bow dissimilar it may be. This method of living destroys the continuity of life and is open to the gravest objections. It is certain that no great excellence can be reached in this way. life is too short to learn many things and become proficient in them all, up matte* what one?* abilities may be. Eminenoe in any profession or pursuit is attained only by long and patient labor in a single direction. fEhejnen who have become illustrious in any department of human labor have, almost without exception, entered it young and pursued it to old age. And everyone who possesses a proper share of ambition desires to attain to a reasonable degree of excellence in some pursuit No such person wishes to be a make-shift all his life long, dependent on uncertain circumstances for au uncertain livelihood, tossed about like fortune's foot ball. Yet this is the likely consequence of a desultory mode of life.

Again, the make-shift never learns to do good work. He is crude and slovenly because he does not take a proper pride in his work and has not mastered it. Thoroughness comes of long and faithful application to a single kind of work.

The make-shift's life is really a hard one, though it may seem, at first blush, an easy one. The longer a man wOrkis at a given thing the easier it becomes for him. Experience gives him facility. The reader can call to mind tbeliost of difficulties that surrounded him on bis entrance into some new position and how rapidly they vanished with experience. The persons who do things well, and yet easily, are those who have become "old hands at the business." It thus happens that the longer one follows a given pursuit the less difficult it grows and the more time he has for the relaxation and amenities of life.

And, after all, the changeable man makes far less money in the end than the other. Generous compensation is the reward of excellence. The man who is willing to starve awhile in bis chosen pursuit, if need be, is very often the man who has a princely income by and bye. Lord Erskine lived without grumbling on cow meat" in the years of bis profession, foraeeing the illustrious period that should follow. All cannot be Erakines, but all can follow his example by attaining superiority in some direc tion, whether it be as shoemakers, tail ors, tinners, doctors, merchants or far mers. And it is Car better to be eminent in a humble calling than insignificant in a high one. It is thus seen that the make-shift's life is an unprofitable one in every way.

CUTTING OFF A MAN'S HEAD. The New York World prints an inter esting letter in relation to the execution of Hoedel, the man who attempted to assassinate the Emperor William. When the dispatches were read announcing that he was beheaded a thrill of horror ran through the country and a cry of barbarism was raised. The details do not warrant the outcries that were raised. The prisoner was awakened at 6:30 in the morning—to die. The French would have permitted him to sleep all night in ignorance of his approaching doom. They do things a little different ly in Germnny. He had been notified the day before that he would be executed the next morning. Hewashnrried as soon as he was aroused to the soailbld. A young man stood there with an axe, waiting to execute the sentence of death. It was-a.large weapon, a good deal like a butcher's cleaver, with a very fine, keen edge, which had been ground the day before to the sharpnees of a rasor. The warrant was read. What followed Is thus narrated. "Come this way," said the headsman to Hoedel. who rau lightly up the three steps leading to the platform and threw off his coat and waistcoat. At this moment the chapel bell began tolling he gased in its direction, then looked around upon those present with an Ironical sneer. Throwing down his braces, Hoedel began to unbutton bis shirt, out could not unfasten one of the buttons. One of the wardens went to his assistance, and turned it down beneath his shoulders, leaving the neck and tne upper part of the breast bare. Meanwhile two other keepers had tied the condemned man's arms and ankles. They then earried him, pinioned and helpless, to the block which was of stout hardwood, with a hollow to receive the neck, snd painted blood red Laying him on it face downwards, a strong leathern band was fastened over the back of his head so that it oould not be moved, and a clearly defined mark was offered for the headsman's blow.

Opening a leathern case, on which were in gold the .figures, "1878." Kranta took out toe glittering new axe, ana taking'his aim with in almost imperceptible glance, swung the weapon aloft and brought it hissing down on the band of flesh between the leathern fattening and the turned back shirt. Only one blow was needed, The blood sprang out of the immense wound the neck vanished (so it seemed) and there was left the trunk, which twitcced apaamodloally a few times, and the beaq, which looked as if it had been shorn off lost at the chin. A very slight contraction or movement of the akin of the forehead was noticeable. The whole ^operation lasted about two minutes and a half.

Afterward the German reporters visit* ed the *tup~ father and the mother of the assassin to see how they bore the news of their son's death. This part of the execution might have been omitted. As to the net, granting the necessity of capital punishment, ii is difficult to see wherein the mercy or the Impusslvneas of the German prooess fells to exceed that which is usually resorted to in this country. All waa over there in two minute* and half from, the time the

condemned man was: awakened in Mr cell. Here the prooess lasts sometimea an boor, and heart beats are counted for a quarte^ of an hour after the drop has fallen^ |I _%

It is not the suflerings of the inan after the noose tightena that tends to prevent men eommittiiig crime. It is the certainty of death after the crime is epqunbtedf llien is jo Bresson why Hoedel's execution should not have quite aa deterrent an effect as that of the last murderer hung in this country.

I LI ARSENIC EATING. N.T.San. "She Is one of the arsenio eatem.# "One Of your patients?" A "No. I never saw her before. But her vice and folly are written' oh her face so plainly that he 'who runs may read.**'-"

Why does she eat arsenic?' "To make her pretty, as she fondly imagines. And it does seemingly do so temporarily. I will tell you the signs by which you may know the arsenic eaters, and yoh will be astonished at the nuihberwho are addicted to the vice. When you see a woman with a swollen skin and puffy eyelids, plump, and with a milky whiteness of complexion, von msy be sure that you have a case. They think they are plump, but it is a ficti tious plumpness. Instead of good adi pose tissue filling out the skin, there is only a watery aecretion. They have brought about a dropsical condition of the skin. And the first, most prominent place 'n which it becomes apparent is the eyelids, first the lower, then the upper. -Examine the skin, and you wiu see that the pores seem enlarged and the skin between them swollen and of sin unnatural whiteness. And this is not confined to the face alone, you un derstand. I speak of the face simply, for that you can see. And when you look for that transparent white color on their faces, don't be deceived by a deli cste tinge of-red. If the brow and nose have that oorpsy whiteness, the red on the cheek is {Mint. And no womarii who ever uses arsenic oan do without painting.' "Are there many arsenic esters in New York?" •A very great many," the fged phjf dan replied. "They are of two classesactresses and the ladies of fashionable society. After arsenio hss been taken for along time," the doctor continued "it is demanded by the system. It not only affeots the skin, but it lessens the excretion of carbonic acid and ureA— checking the retrograde metamorphosis —stimulates the cerebral functions, induces a sense of well-being, and in some sutyeots causes decided mental exhilar ation. Furthermore, cessation of its use permits the water-distended skin to col lapse, and then wrinkles and yellow ness follow, Instead of plumpness and transparency. What woman could you expect to accept tuat change when libth ing more than her sanity and life were in danger? It is also said that the sudden stopping of the habit will produce all the symptoms of arsenical poisoning, and even restilt fatally. "A lady whose beautiful face has for several years past been familiar to tbea tre-goen, says: 'I have used arsenio, and do so yet, but am tryingto give it up. My doctor says that I can do so gradually, and advises me to a course of very generous living in the country to make up the loss in apparent roundness that my face and figure must undergo from stopping the practice. I know that is inevitable, for I have gone through it before. If his recipe doesn't work like a charm, shall have to go back to Fowler's solution, for you know I cant afford to lose my good looks for a few years yet. when I get to be as old aa Mrs. who thinks she can play leading bust ness yet. it won't matter so much. Thousands of women use srsenic. No. not in the world at large—I mean right here in New Yotk. For those in my profession there is some excuse, for to us personal attractions area necessity, a question of business. Even if a woman hasn't got much brains, managers are ready enough to engage her ifshe is pretty. "But, necessary as beauty is to us, think there are very few actresses who have enough of the ilesperate vanity of the woman of society to plunge deliberately into tbe use of arsenio as a beautifier, as vast numbers of women off tbe stage do. We get to it by degrees, in this way. First, you must understand, we have to use paint on the stage. No1, one woman in five hundred, after the first flush of girlhood at least, has a completion that will stand the glare of the footlights without atoning up of white and red. Now, nearly all things sold for that purpose are eventually ruinous to the skin. There is one especially villainous stuff that I fancy must have been invented by the Evil One himself, that haa ruined more square miles of feminine face than all other nostrums together. 'Bloom of Youth,' indeed I Why, it is—-, but there. I'm diverging again. After an actress has daubed her face with these things for a few years, say while she has been working her way up from 'utility' to 'leading Juvenile,' just at the time when the preservation of her beauty Is most Important to her, her skin turns thick and rough, pimples come out and discolored splotches sppear. To her horror she finds that in stead of a skin she hss a bide. She rushes to her doctor, and learns that she has a horrid skin disease, with a name as frightful as tbe thing itself, and for her relief he prescribes, In all human probability arsenic, Donovan's solution, or Fowler'ssoiuticn she Is pretty sure to get, for while the stuff prod uoesakin disease itself, it is really efficacious in removing skin diseases arising from other causes. Gradually her skin becomes smooth again and acquire* a clear whiteness and plumpuess haa not bad before since' her girlhood. If she has been rather thin, she rounds out so that all her friends say, 'How well you are looking!' Aht yoa don't know what music those five words are to a woman's ear. After awhile her eyelids begin to puff up. 8be goes again to her doctor and says, 'Why is this thuaff' 'Too much arsenic,' he responds blandly. 8he stops using it. Then her plumpness falls away. She looks like a withered apple —a yellow withered apple 'How ill yon are looking, my dear/ other women say to her. They always say. 'my dear1 when they have a hateful, malicious thing to hvil at you. She goes to her doctor again. Too little arsenic,' be tells her. Then from that time on her Rfo Is likely to be one long endeavor to maintain just the right balanoe of arsenic to keep her looking well without hurrying up too much the evil and inevitable day In which thft poison will bring ita own train of diLre consequences npon ber.' "What are those consequences T" 'Obstinate and bideoua disesees felling out of the Hair sometfmes insanity. Not only is aressnio bought by women and need fay them in to solutions tint ase sold in the pharmacies, and in the white crystals* bat," the reporter's feir informant continued, "there are pills imported from France, arsenical pllia especially made for tke purpose of]

being nsed by women to beautify their complexions. They ale very big pills looking more like confections than what they are, heavily sugar coated, and co^k |1 a box—twelve, I think, in a box. Mrs. used them lor some tim^ before her husband suspected. When he found it out, he did his beet to break her-of tbe habit, and ufed to throw them away whenever he sould find them. Ana what shifts she has to resort to to hide them from him. She tried hiding the boxes everywhere, bat he always nosed them out. -Then ahe took the pills out and poked them into the ends of the fingers of her gloves, which where rolled up, snd be foucd them there. She put them into the toes of her stockings, rolled no, aud there he pounced on them. Finally she had the bright idea of concealing them in tbe dirty cfothes basket, an da? he never thought of rummaging there they were at last.safe and that is where, I have no-doufat,- she keeps them now. She bad got so that ahe could take a whole boxful of them in A day and a half. She used be as thin as a rail, bnt now sbe-has plumped out liKifi a prize fat baby."

A leading physician says: "It fe true, as your actress friend has told you, that many /Women, especially professionals, become arsenicophagi though phvsicians' nrescri ptions given for tbe cure of outaneous disorders induced by the poison of lotions and washes for the face but I, assure you of my own positive knowledge,' that an infinitely greater number of wpmen. off the .stage employ this poison tdi-. heighten their charm 8. I can teil ari- arsenio eatisr at sight unerringly. An Indian painted for tbe warpath is not a mofe conspicuous object to a physician's eye than a woman,- wto hapitoally- uses arsenio. 'The puffed Wiite^y skid is unmistakable. "Fowler's solution, which is a very common form in which arsenic is taken, is the arsetiite of potassa. Each fluid dram contains a"half grfuu of arsenious acid—each drop, say one twelfth of a brain—and when it is.administered: medicinally the dose is thr^e to five drops three times a day. Some patients and others accustomed' to it can take, however, forty-five drops pet dsy. Donovon's solution is. the iodide of arsenic and mercury, and is weaker, only abont one-third as strong, if I remember aright. De Va?agio's solution is the terchoride of ar&snic, and is ouly threeeights as strong as Fowler's solution. The weakest preparation of all is Pearson's solution, the arseniate of soda, which is generally used externally only." "1 esteem'arsenic as a most valuable remedial agent but it must be used with care, and beyond a doubt it is an exceedingly dangerous tbing to addict one's self to. But what can you Bay or do to prevent its use by women, creatures Who n?ed belladonna and atropin and morphine, and every other deaaly drug they imkgine can be made to serve to brighten their physical fascieations or give them temporary semblence OJ' \»vaoity? You teil tuern: It viii gm you loathsome and almost incurable cu taneous diseases, your scalp will become scruffv, your hair will fall out, yon will become puffed up and 'dropsical of form/ and they simply reply, with a self-satisfied smirk at the mirror, while the poison still gives them a ficticious beauty: 'Ah, well, we will stop it before we come to that.' It Is not an easy thing to leave off. The amenic habit is almost sis difficult to put away as tbe opium habit. Its victims do not dare stop it. I could tell you of one bright little lady who only a few years sgo wss a most charming sonbrette on our New York stage. She bad a pretty face. a beautiful soprano voice, and a vivacity that feirly electrified her audience. But she was very' thin. She was so thin that to conceal her meagerness in the days of'tilting' hoops, she used to wear her pads all the time, even in summer. She took to. using arsenio.' Now she is too big to dance her voice is no longer clear„out muffled, as though by fet in her thVoat. She has brought about a physfcsl condition that has crowded ber onfr of her lipc of business, and threatens soon to retire her altogether from the stage, and yet she does not dare leave off the use of the drag that hss wrought the change in her. And she will keep on getting stouter and stouter, or rather morp ana more dropsical, until it kills ber, probably, if she .cannot renounce the habit. It would astonish you were to tell you of the number of feshionableVomeb. who, to' my certain knowl edge, go nabitually to leading drug stores, stop their carriages at the door, enter and get their ounce or two of Fowler's solution {net as readily as yon oould procure a glass of soda water in, the same places^'

-BY-

DMMIISCIIISKI,

SUCCESS in any business or profession is not only gratifying to the individual who succeeds, but to all those with whom he may have dealings especially so is that of a MEDICAL PRACTITIONER, who, in order to obtain SUCH, must not only have SUCCESS, but continue DAILY TO DO SO, giving OCULAR demonstrations ol his SKILL and JUDGMENT. It is true that a physician may sometimes obtain a transient notoriety by trivial operations' (judiciously reported), or by the cure of some particular case, supposed to be incurable but this is not what can be called an ESTABLISHED REPUTATION. There are, considering the number who practice medicine,' very few REALLY GREAT MEN, still fewer in the body claiming to be SPECIALISTS. It is PROVERBIAL that in no PROFESSION is there MORE ILL FEELING or JEALOUSY, than in that of MEDICINE, and this feeling is very common in what is called the "general practitioners" against any one with any SPECIAL PRETENTIONS, which may interfere with them pecuniarily. These gentlemen should remember however that the CRY of QUACKERY and CHARLATANISM is much more easily raised than SUBSTANTIATED. I could fill pages with amusing instances of the'absolute IGNORANCE of RESPECTABLE REGULAR PHYSICIANS (as they delight to be styled), which have come under my PERSONAL NOTltlE in several places, but this is not my tale, as the illustrious JOAQUIM MILLER might remark in the premises. I have tlo desire to censure nor to make myself thebiographer of the BLUNDERS of my opponents. Though if at any time some dissatisfied p^ient of mite who may have expected from me some divine healing power, may not have found such, uiy failure will then, by them, be paraded and MAGNIFIED a thousand timeB and garnished with all kinds of comments, forgetting that this very CASE was an EXCEPTIONAL ONE. They will take special care not to mentidh the hundreds of CURES effected by me in cases they have failed, though they treated those CASES for MONTHS and MONTHS or even years. Having enjoyed for many years the friendship of most distinguished members of the profession, I oan look with leniency now on the detraction of its lesser lights. I enjoy the successful practice of my profession and find it made still more interesting by the course I at present pursue. Opposition to me on the part of those who neither understand my motives, or my methods, will of course not at all effect that course, which was duly considered before it was adopted. I was at first occasionally indignant at this or that slander when hearing that some local luminary, Dr. A. or B., had remarked this or that about me men frequently,'evidently NOT my peers, even in genera], not to speak of MEDICAL or SPECIAL EDUCATION,a fsct which was probably known to no one better than hemselves. If my CRITICS, though I do not expect them to be conversant with general literature,will request some friend to look upon the shelves of the New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore libraries they will find some exhaustive works of mine on German and Slavonic literature that have entitled me to a same and seat among men of reputation and learning, in the old and new world. AM to my published MEDICAL WORKS, I shall say nothing. They have received, like my PRACTICE, sufficient PRAISE. One who has been brought into familliar relations with Drs. GRAFE, TOBOLD, WEBER, JUNKIN, JAEGER, DOBEL, MACKENZIE one who brought letters to this country from CARLYLE, SIR WILLIAM FERGUSON, M. D. and others of like distinction, can afford to bear the small stings of adversaries, come they from MEDICAL or other QUABTERS. I have already overcome them here ss I have in other places. I have never yet FAILED in my professional effort#, and the more the opposition, the greater was my SUCCESS. I am folly competent to defv iU who may opcode mc and am perfectly able u£lo all I profess. I have the RIGHT and TITLE to my proiesaion from the most lesrped INSTITUTES in EUROPE) and my years of EXPERIENCE give me full confidence to speak AUTHORITATIVELY. That I am liable THOUGH RARELY to fail or now and then even loose a patient, I have never denied, bnt my failures are EXCEPTIONS, comparatively nothing compared with other PRACTITIONERS, and I do not often fail when I TAKE A CASE under treatment and the PATIENT CARRIES oat all my INST RUCTIONS and is REGULAR in his attendance at my OFFICE. AU who desire my MEDICAL SERVICES and the FULL BENEFIT of my PERSONAL ATTEND ANCE on them, I take this OPPORTUNITY to notify them they must no longer DELAY, bat call at ONCE.
