"A apademv of Science is again

10fugersoll mutually advertise
li other. Barnum gets an ele-
Tint for a cheap advertisement,
PTthe press of the United States
iSbtu. his racket. Now I am
"t disapproving adveru-lug. I
know ifte be a good thing; but I
ke to see honest advertising paid
for at so much a square; and 1 dis-
ikedead-beat advertising, such as
L Academy of Science aud Bar-
num get. What is the use ot these
scientists coming here with their
heavy papers and esoteric knowl-
edge making speeches to a score
or two of people, half of whom
don’t know what they are talking
about. They say they come for an
exchange of views. Exchange of
humbug! Give them leave to
print. Everything that is worth
knowing is iu print, and can be
reached in much better formulated
shape than when Professor
Palaeozoic sneaks it through
his nose. The truth is that the
“art preservative of all arts” has
abolished the lecturer’s chair, .he
hustings, the pulpit. These will
lag,but they are superfluous, cum-
bersome, expensive antiquities,
with no raison d'etre. Why should
a man stand iu an uncomfortable
hall aud listen to a political speech
when he can have the pleasure of
reading the same to his wife aud
her mother at an expense of from
one to five cents. But it maybe
said that if there was no audience
at the hustings there would be no
speeches to print or to read to
one’s wife and mother-iniaw. Now
this is precisely the milennium
that your correspondent is try-
ing to bring about. Instead
ot the frantic speeches of
agitators, we would have the well
studied, carefully written articles
of thinkers, sifted and written ali
the more carefully irum a knowl-
edge that., unlike the evanescent
folly that comes from the mere
orator, they must go down in black
and white, and stand for criticism
aud judgement. I would not be
understood to assert that all that
is printed is souud, but I do assert
that, as a rule, printed matter is
sounder than spoken matter, and
that the thiukiug which is com-
pulsory in writing restrains a riot
of words and imagination. More-
over, written matter that is
not editorial is usually sub-
jected to wholesome censor-
ship before it gets into
Print; for example, the editor,
fter reading this article may say :
‘This^is no Washington letter ;
there is nothing in it about Wash-
ington; for all the information it
mrnishes about national affairs
and legislation, it might as well
lave been written in Alaska.”
d’d he may reflect that the last
as been a dull week at the na-
'onal capital; that congress has
one nothing but make speeches ;
at the president has confined
is energy to a reception, a visit
the naval acodemy, and audi-
''008 to members aud senators
eeliing offices for their friends;
nT T departments have not de
b rted from the grooves of rou-
e ; and that it is impossible to
te a Washington news letter
,l*D there is no news.

and as the wind came up with
such fury as to frighten them, they
rushed pell mell out of the tent.
They bad no sooner reached open
ground before a giant tree came
crashing through the tent just va-
cated. If they had remained in
it five minutes longer, more than
one of them would have met his
death.

Disease is an effect, not a cause.
Its origin is within: its manifesta-
tions without. Hence, to core the
disease the cause must t-e removed,
and in no other way can a cure be ef-
fected, W A RX Kir* SAFE IilUNEY
AND lilYEK CERE is established on
just this principle. It realizes that
95 PER CERT.
of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys and
Liver, and i< strikes at once at Th» root of ih
difficulty. The el eme ns of which it is compos-
ed act directly upon these great organs, borh
a- a food and re torer, nd. by placing them in a
Heal-iiy Condition, drive disease and pain from
the system.
For the innumerable troubles caused by un-
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs; tor
the distressing Disorders of Women; for Malaria,
and physical derangements generally, this
great remedy has no equal. Beware of impost-
ors, imitations and concoctions said to be just as
good.

Said lenses have been analyzed by Pro*. Berger, the great F ench oculist, and
Carl Hollander, the German oculist, and pronounced by the London College of Ooh_
thalmy to be the most perfect glass in use. and having been on exhibition at the Ex.
position at Nashville, where they received the highest praise for superior qualities.
A practical optician will call and fit you with the first pair of glasses, alter exam
ining the nature of your eye. thereby avoiding the injury done by trying several pairs
as is often the case by inexperienced persons who sell spectacles, which results some-
times in ruining the sight. , . ,
The superiorly of these glasses consi ts in the chemicals, softening the light to
the eye, doing away with the tiresome sensation that is usually felt in using ordinary
glasses for an hour or more.
The medicinal properties contained in the glass make them as hard as a diamond.
It will retain its polish and never become dull or dim, hence you will see as bright
riicI 9,s Rt first.
The chemicals keep the glass as cool as ice—result is your optic nerves are always
cool, doing away with any feverish sensation to the eye.
These glasses have no equals for night reading or sewing; with them you can
work all night, and the light has no effect on the eye, with no tiresome sensation
whatever, which necessarily continues to improve the eye.
ffifY fit all sights and warrant^my work or refund the money. I employ no agents.
Orders left at Powell’s drug storb will receive immediate attention
