In London a policeman must not wear a mustache or a beard. The policemen of that city don't like the rule and are writing tough letters to the Nervousness and Its Remedies. One of the results, or, I might say, the penalties of advanced civilization is seen in the prevalence of the great number of alliances classed as nervous diseases. Our ancestors were scarcely aware that they had any nerves, so far as their presence was made known by symptoms attendant upon their disease. Among the savages, the semi-civilized nations and among the lower classes of European peasantry nervous diseases are unknown. It is among the most highly cultured, those who live in cities, and whose habits or social life are cultivated, that nervousness prevails to the greatest extent. Within the past fifty years the manner of living of the whole nation has changed. The inventions and appliances by which time and space have been almost annihilated have given an impulse to do everything in a hurry. The eager haste to accumulate wealth, the struggle for fame and position in civilized society demand an intensity of effort which none but sound minds in sound bodies can endure, and has caused men and women to live at a much higher pressure than did our grandparents, who were content to travel by stage-coach instead of a railway car, and to send their messages by postriders instead of by telephone. The concentration of people in cities develops and intensifies the nervous energies by its manifold and constant excitement, and so tends to multiply nervousness in all its forms. Modern civilization with its numerous devices for comfort, luxury and sensual enjoyment has rendered the plain and frugal life of our ancestors distasteful. The tendency of the popular literature of today is to cultivate a morbid activity of the imagination, which is far more injurious to physical and mental health than over-action of the reflective faculties. The reading of certain works of fiction produces a temporary excitement which is followed by a corresponding depression. Until within a comparatively few years nervousness was considered merely an irritability of temper, a mental quality. It is now recognized by physicians as a physical disease. It makes itself manifest in many ways. Among its more common symptoms are anxiety of mind, sleeplessness, neuralgia, nervous sick headache, nervous dyspepsia, rose cold feathery feet, and softly front door of the bird's bark in her dainty arm, so rooster by the last chapel left hand, and with her circled his neck very low was a short gasp, and sounds went floating out of night to lose themselves ethereal spheres.

The term of office of the Supreme Court Justices of California begins on Monday, the fifth day of January, 1880. The six Associate Judges must decide by lot so that two of them will go out of office at the end of four years, two others at the end of eight years, and the remaining two at the end of twelve cars. Vacancies in this office are to be filled by gubernatorial appointment. The California Governor-elect holds office for three years from the 5th day of January, 1880, as also the Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General and Surveyor General. The Governor's salary is $6,000 per annum, and the other officers named, $3,000, except the Lieutenant Governor, who receives only the same pay that may be provided for the Speaker or the Assembly.

"Alaa! this fatal gift of booty!" as the man said who was arrested for receiving stolen goods. When a woman is making bread, she may perhaps be said to be in the very flour of her youthfulness. A Chicago man wants the thief who stole his well bucket and rope to come back and take the well, as it is of no use to him now. "My brother," said Swift, in a sermon, "there are three sorts of pride—of birth, of riches and of talents. I shall not now speak of the latter, none of you being liable to that abominable vice." An honest Hibernian, while going along the road, was thus addressed by a friend: "Hello, Pat, you've got on the wrong side of your stocking." "I know that," says Pat; "there's a hole on the other side." "I'm a ruta-baga, and here's where I activity of the imagination, which is far more injurious to physical and mental health than overaction of the reflective faculties. The reading of certain works of fiction produces a temporary excitement which is followed by a corresponding depression. Until within a comparatively few years nervousness was considered merely an irritability of temper, a mental quality. It is now recognized by physicians as a physical disease. It makes itself manifest in many ways. Among its more common symptoms are anxiety of mind, sleeplessness, neuralgia, nervous sick headache, nervous dyspepsia, rose cold or hay fever, etc. Certain of these symptoms were formerly regarded to be diseases of themselves, and were treated without regard to causation. The failure to obtain symptoms, is often due to the fact that the symptoms were treated and not the disease. The severity of the symptoms can be mitigated and perhaps for the time entirely removed by the use of various remedies, aided by moral treatment. Anxiety of raind from whatever cause induced, if long continued, may occasion functional disturbances in various organs of the body. It may be the occasion of dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, inflammation of the brain, etc. If treatment is adopted early it can usually be cured. Moral therapeutics" are of more value than medicine. A change of scene, absence from one's accustomed duties and surroundings, will relieve in many instances the strain upon the tired brain and allow it to recover its lost tone and vigor without the aid of medicine. Sleeplessness is a symptom of nervous exhaustion. Long continued wakefulness disorders the whole system and may lead to serious diseases of the brain and is a cause of insanity. A sleepless night cannot be recovered from by any siesta during the day. It is only during the night that refreshing sleep can be procured. Persons troubled with wakefulness should take daily exercise in the open air. It is a good idea to take a walk just before retiring. It is a popular error to suppose that eating just before bed time tends to wakefulness, on the contrary a hearty supper of plain easily digested food rather predisposes to sleep. This is due to the fact that the process of digestion requires an increased amount of blood in the organs that perform it and consequently less is sent to the brain. It is necessary however, that the food taken shall be of a digestible and non-irritating character. Most of the cases of wakefulness among women are of a passive variety, which require nutritious food and a certain amount of stimulants. Of the latter, sherry wine is the best. A wine glass full with dinner; never between meals. Next to sherry, good beer, which may be taken at any time. Alcoholic stimulants should never be taken except at meals. By following this rule, there is no danger of acquiring the habit of intemperance. In what is known as the active or sthenic form of wakefulness—which oftener occurs in males—stimulants would increase rather than diminish the difficulty. A mustard poultice applied to the stomach, or cold foot-bath just before retiring, will sometimes do good.

"I know that," says Pat; "there's a hole on the other side." "I'm a ruta-baga, and here's where I plant myself," said a tramp, as he entered a farm-house near Freeport, Ill., and seated himself at the table. "We allers bile ours," said the farmer's wife, and soused him with a dishpan of boiling water. They have had a very sad affair at West Point. A lady at Cozzen's told her mamma that all the cadets wear white pants; whereupon a man said, "So do their sisters, their cousins, and their aunts;" and he had to be shot through the heart. Somebody who appears to know how fashionable schools are managed says: "To educate young ladies is to let them know all about the theories, the omenies, the ifices, the tics, and the mistics; but nothing about the ings, such as sawing, darning, washing, baking, and making pudding." A gentleman from the provinces went into the shop of a Parisian tailor to order some clothes. While his measure was taken, he said to the saratortial Aristarchus, "You must find that I am very badly dressed?" "Oh no," replied the artist, "you are not dressed at all; you are simply covered." The wife of a railroad conductor who had been discharged had the lightning-rods taken off the house and sold one day during her husband's absence. "Why did you do that?" said he, when he found it out; "ain't you afraid you'll be struck with lightning?" "Not when you are around," she replied: "ain't you a non-conductor?"

"Darling," whispered the poetic jeweler, "you are like the matchless diamond, you are so brilliant and so pure. And what gem do I remind you of, dearie?" "The emerald," she softly murmured; "because you are so green." and a certain amount of stimulants. Of the latter, sherry wine is the best. A wine glass full with dinner; never between meals. Next to sherry, good beer, which may be taken at any time. Alcoholic stimulants should never be taken except at meals. By following this rule, there is no danger of acquiring the habit of intemperance. In what is known as the active or sthenic form of wakefulness—which oftener occurs in males—stimulants would increase rather than diminish the difficulty. A mustard poultice applied to the stomach, or cold foot-bath just before retiring, will sometimes do good. Sleep always begins at the extremities; hence, not only the mind should be at rest, but the feet should be kept still. Various medicines are used to produce sleep, but most of them are of such a nature that their use, except under the direction of a physician, is unadvisable. The only preparation that I can recommend in a letter of this nature is the elixir bromile of potash, to be taken one to two teaspoonfuls, according to the case, one hour before retiring, and repeated every three hours until sleep is produced. Nervous disease often manifests itself in the form of a sick headache, and is due to some irritation of the nerve which is connected with the stomach. The medicinal agents which in my experience have afforded most relief in these cases are, powdered guarana, thirty grains, to be taken in water and repeated every hour until relief is obtained, or liquor ammonia acetatis (spiritus minderis), one or two teaspoonfuls every hour. During the attack the patient should remain in a he ontal position, and if there is much n. thing of the face denoting congestion, apply a bag of hot salt to the nape of the neck. Coffee will relieve about one-half the cases in which it has tried. The relief may be temporary or permanent. Give it hot, very strong, and without sugar or milk, and on an empty stomach. As before stated, all the above so-called diseases are but varieties of nervous disease, and a cure cannot be expected until the cause has been ascertained and removed. Owing to the great prevalence of nervous disease, nervous remedies are in special demand. The danger is that when one particular remedy becomes popular it will be used to excess, and in the end prove detrimental. All nervines are necessarily perilous agents, and should not be used indiscriminately, only under the direction of a physician. One of the special dangers of preaching in this country lies with the popular likeness in the pulpit, demand for eloquent preaching. American idea of the purity is low and sensational. It is rapid and emphatic unorous sentences, with treme, paradoxical, and thought presented, though thought is required. It of the preacher that he excite them, and they enjoin of voluptuousness theulous and thrill of emotional preaching causes.

Once upon a time there was a gay and festive young rooster, whose owner kept him in a neat little coop in the rear of a certain boarding house. This rooster was a musical one—in fact he was a singer. In the early dawn of day, when the lodgers in the boarding-house before alluded to were peacefully sleeping at the rate of forty knots an hour, this musical rooster would open his mouth and sing his doleful song of praise to the god of day. This conduct on the part of the aforesaid rooster was very annoying to the boarders in the boarding-house before mentioned, and a secret session was held to plot against the life of the rooster mentioned above. When the council of war had concluded, one of the boarders said unto the dining-room girl: "Go thou unto the coop of this troublesome bird, whose surname is rooster, and seek his life." "But," quoth the dining-room maiden, "I fear that the owner of the bird may detect me, and then I fear the consequences." "Go," replied the boarder, and I will stand between them and all harm." "What shall be my compensation for this deed?" adroitly remarked the dining-room girl. "Whatever is right that will I pay," saith the boarder, and straightway he left the maiden. Then in the lone hour of night, when all was still, and the rooster was peacefully dozing upon his humble perch, waiting for the dawn to come when he should again peal forth his clarion notes upon the trembling air of morning, the maiden might have been seen emerging from the rear door of the boarding house in question, and straightway hied to the rooster's domicile. Stealthily she approached on feathery feet, and softly opened the front door of the bird's home. Reaching in her dainty arm, she grasped the rooster by the last chapter, with her left hand, and with her right hand encircled his neck very lovingly. There was a short gasp, and a few hoarse sounds went floating out upon the air of night to lose themselves amid the ethereal spheres. The maid returned softly to the house. The next morning there were no sounds from the rooster's throat to break the slumber of the Checked in Their Advance By the speedy action of Hostetter's Bitters, drapspea, nervous-indisposition, constipation and billions complaints cease to harass the invalid. That they will instantly give ground is not pretended, but no medical f et is more certain, or avouched by more competent testimony, than that these maladies, and others to which it is adapted, entirely succumb to the influence of the medicine, if it be given a fair trial. Their total, if not instant rout, is certain to ensue. L sea of strength are repaired, and failure of appetit- and nerve quietude are remedied by the Bitters; and as the stomach grows stronger and assimilation is aided by its action, a gain in flesh will follow.

CHICAGO, IL., January 3, 1877, To THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE: I notice in your paper—sunday, December 31—a correspondent ("M. G.") asks, in behalf of humanity, if there is any cure known for the terrible disease, cancer, that is prevailing to a far greater extent than many are aware. I am anxious to impart anything valuable I can to the world on this subject, and will state, if you please, in a few words, my own experience. At about twelve years ago, a cancer appeared on my left shoulder, near the collar bone. I went before the Clinic in this city, and sought in Eastern cities the best medical advice. The decision was in all cases. "Have it taken out, either with the knife or drawn by plaster, or you will surely die with it." I became satisfied that those who have them taken out die sooner than if let alone. After my return home and deciding to let it alone, an old man, Daniel Rudd, of Wheaton, now deceased, said to me that tea made from the heads of red clover, and drank strong would care me—at least would prevent it from ever troubling me. I did so and very soon the pain and inflammation "were all gone. I am as confident that I can cure cancer in the stomach as upon the surface; I have had cases of that kind. Never have a cancer removed either by plaster or knife; it will surely return again; in no case rub or Gen. U. S.

THE HISTORY OF THE DONNER PARTY. A TRAGEDY OF THE SIERRAS. By C. P. McGlashan. Young London. The author of a series of papers on "Young London" in the Telegraph (London), records some of the changes of the half century. When he first began to remember things, there were only two railroads in the United Kingdom. It took the best part of four days to get to Paris; and the postage of a letter to that city was one and eight pence. There were no ocean steamers; and five weeks were often consumed in a journey to New York. There were no luciter matches lighting on or off the box; and flint and steel, and the tinder-box, and matches dipped in brimstone, reigned supreme, in the kitchen; oil was still burned in the street lamps of Grosvenor square. There were no electric telegraphs, no post-office money orders, no steel pens—in common use—no envelopes, no perambulators. There were no cheap newspapers, no shilling magazines, no post-cards, no perforated stamps and counterfoils, and no paraffin candles. There was not a hotel in England where a lady could dine in a public room. There were only two decent French restaurants in London. There was no photography, no banzine, no chloroform, no glycerine, no collodion and no guncotton. There were no mauve and no magenta dyes. There were no preserved meats, soups or vegetables. There was but little chocolate, and no cocoa. Soda water was a shilling a bottle. There were no hansom cabs, and no knifeboards to the omnibuses. There were no refrigerators and no sewing machines. There were no keyless or crystal cased watches; no Albert or Breguet watch chains; no electrogelling nor silvering, and no electrotyping. The steel fork in ordinary use had only two prongs; "balanced" table knives were unknown. There were no stays that were not instruments of torture, and no walking boots for ladies. There was no Balbriggan nor Balmoral hoisery. There were only a few velocipedes, and there were no revolvers. There was no guttapercha and very few cigars. The Demand for Eloquent Preaching One of the special dangers and defects of preaching in this country is connected with the popular liking for oratory in the pulpit, demand for what is called eloquent preaching. The common American idea of the pulpit eloquence collar bone. I went before the Clinie in this city, and sought in Eastern cities the best medical advice. The decision was in all cases, "Have it taken out either with the knife or drawn by plaster, or you will surely die with it." I became satisfied that those who have them taken out die sooner than if let alone. After my return home and deciding to let it alone, an old man, Dante Rudd, of Wheaton, now deceased, said to me that tea made from the heads of red clover, and drank strong would care me—at least would prevent it from ever troubling me. I did so and very soon the pain and inflammation "were all gone." I am as confident that I can cure cancer in the stomach as upon the surface; I have had cases of that kind. Never have a cancer removed either by plaster or knife; it will surely return again; in no case rub or scratch a cancer. Most cases coming to me are those given up as hopeless by the physicians. Some of them I have cured and have their names. If I have the first treatment, and the constitution is not ruined by previous treatment, I fully believe I can save ninety-nine in every hundred. Of course it is necessary in order to realize the greatest benefit from the clover, to observe my simple rules of living. D. NEEDHAM, 91 Lake Street, Chicago. W.C. Needham of San Jose, son of D.Needham, of Chicago, has the agency for the red clover for the Pacific Coast. This clover cannot be bought at the drug stores, as it is not furnished to the trade. Mr Needham is furnishing the clover to several persons in San Jose and other places, some of whom have cancers and have been greatly benefited from using the clover, and some have been entirely ured. A few have volunteered their names as references. The main depot for the sale of the red clover for the Pacific Coast is at San Jose, Cal. For full information and references, address, W.C.

A Great Enterprise. The Hop Bitters Manufacturing Company is one of Rochester's greatest business enterprises. Their Hop Bitters have reached a sale beyond all precedent, having from their intrinsic value found their way into almost every household in the land—Graphic. A Remarkable Success. It is only a few months since the first take of Phosphate Soap was manufactured by the Standard Soap Co., of San Francisco. As the ingredients and combination were the result of the best chemical science in the world there was every reason to expect something far superior to any toilet soap ever made before, yet it was hardly expected that the medical profession would indorse Phosphate Soap for its remedial qualities as strongly as they have. It is well known that physicians of high standing are conservative and slow to indorse anything new until they are thoroughly convinced of its merits. But when an article is worthy of confidence they are willing to indorse it. The public no longer wait in doubt because they know that the physician who has lived in their midst for years and earned a high reputation in his profession will not indorse an article unless he is well satisfied of its merit. Such men as Dr. W.A.Douglas of San Francisco, and Dr.A.J.Spencer of San Jose,Cal., have grown venerable in the medical profession and are respected by all who know them. These well-known physicians, with many others, have tried Phosphate Soap both as a toilet article and as a remedy for skin diseases, and pronounce it superior to any other article of the kind. The soothing, cleansing, purifying and disinfecting qualities of Phosphate Soap render it a prime necessity in every family. Besides it is a most convenient article. It is good for shaving as well as the toilet and is also useful in removing grease and impurities from clothing and delicate fabrics. Millions of Gold and Silver The Demand for Eloquent Preaching. One of the special dangers and defects of preaching in this country is connected with the popular liking for oratory in the pulpit, demand for what is called eloquent preaching. The common American idea of the pulpit eloquence is low and sensational. It means chiefly a rapid and emphatic utterance of sonorous sentences, with something extreme, paradoxical, and violent in the thought presented, though not much thought is required. People demand of the preacher that he shall arouse and excite them, and they enjoy with a kind of voluptuousness the temporary stimuli and thrill of emotion which the preaching causes. It results from the laws of mental action that preaching of this kind does not inspire consciousness, nor tend to moral activity. It necessarily produces and fosters mental conditions which are extremely unfavorable to spirituality of character and life. This appetite for eloquence, working with other tendencies of the age, has helped to make the preaching in this country dramatic and entertaining, but in a large measure unspiritual. This, I think, can be rightly regarded only as a calamity, a tendency opposed to the interest of religion, adapted to weaken and subvert it, and to lead the people who are influenced by it into a region where religion will be impossible or regarded as unnecessary. This is one of the most important among the unfavorable tendencies of the age. It has made preaching "more interesting and attractive to the masses," but this has been accomplished by sacrificing much that is essential in religion itself. People's intentions can only be decided from their conduct. CHAMPS, COLIC, CHOLERA MORBUS, SOUR STOMACH, DIARRHOES AND DYSENTERY, are speedily cured by Dr. Jayne's Carminative Balsam. It removes all soreness of the Bowels, quietes the Stomach, and restores its natural action. As a family remedy for many Affections of the Bowels, prevalent among children and adults in the Summer months, it is especially recommended, being prompt in its operation, perfectly safe, and easily administered.

BEST because it contains all the excellencies of the most expensive foreign or American soaps without their defects. BEST because it combines strength with delicacy in such a way that its strong deterrive qualities do not injure the skin. BEST because it is the result of years of study and experiment in the soap manufacturing business, assisted by modern chemical discoveries. BEST because it contains ingredients beneficial to the skin, which unite chemically with the soap in such a manner as to increase its saponaceous qualities. Every chemist familiar with soap manufacture knows that some ingredients which are in themselves beneficial to the skin cannot be saponified; some are partially neutralized, while others injure the quality of the soap. There are soaps in the market which are to some extent beneficial to the skin, but they are inferior articles for toilet use. PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY article offered to the public which combines all the best elements of toilet soap with medical ingredients beneficial to the skin. A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of chil- A weekly religious and family paper.

A superb article for the toilet, beneficial to the skin, giving it a soft, velvety appearance, and leaving a soothing, pleasant sensation after use, imparting a healthy, natural and lasting beauty to the complexion. It eradicates the poisonous effects of cosmetics; preventing skin diseases by acting as a constant purifier and disinfectant; if used constantly will cure skin diseases of long standing; is superior to any other article for bathing infants; cleansing and healing for all eruptions on the scalp or face of children; good for the teeth; produces a soft, creamy lather, nicely adapted to shaving or shampooing, removes dandruff, and gives health to the scalp without injuring the hair. No salve or ointment can heal a wound or sore of any kind. Every educated physician will tell you that nature alone can do this. PHOSPHATE SOAP, by its cleansing, soothing and purifying qualities, gives nature a chance to act freely. Thousands of articles are palmed off on the public which have no genuine merit, but PHOSPHATE SOAP is the result of modern discoveries of celebrated chemists. If you wish to make your hands soft buy a cake of PHOSPHATE SOAP, and when that is gone you will buy a dozen and recommend your friends to do the same. For all diseases of the skin use PHOSPHATE SOAP. There is nothing like it for removing impurities and giving the skin a healthy and natural vigor. TESTIMONIALS. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27, 1818 I received a package of your soap (Phosphate Soap) and it gives me great pleasure to testify as to its superior excellence. As a toilet soap I have never seen anything to surpass it. It also possesses superior remedial qualities. I have used it in two cases of obstinate skin disease, one of intolerable itching, Pruritus, the other an Eczema. In both great relief was obtained. Its emollient properties are remarkable.
