In the realm of disease the facta of im heritance are most numerous and are daily accumulating. Here, alas, they become terrible, fateful and overwhelming. No fact of hature is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease. It mects the physician on his daily rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, renderiag them desolate, The Furies still ply thetr work of terror aad death, but they are not now clothed tu the garb of superstition, but appear in the more intelligible but no less awful furm of hereditary disease. Modern seienee, which has illuminated se many dark corners of nature, has shed a new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, “The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Instances of Hereditary + disease abound. Fifty por cent. of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of families, of cancer and s¢rofula, run in families through inheritance, Insanity is heroditary in @ marked degree, but, fortunately, like many. other hereditary diseases, tends te Wear itself ont, the stock becoming extinct. ‘A distinguished ‘scientist truly says: “No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease.” Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less Mable to be inherited, Tha important and far-reachi ical ded from such facts—affectiug so powerfully the happiness of individuals and f. and the coll e welfare of the nation—are obvious to reflecting minds, and the best means for Ppreventing or vuring these diseases is a subject of i i toall, F y has’ provided a remedy, which experience has attested as infallible, and the remedy is the world-famous Swift's Specific, a pure pound ‘s for all blood poisons. To the aMflicted it is a blessing of inestimable value.

PEOPLE. Henry Ward Beecher, C dore Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Garfield, Blaine, and Others—Snobbery of the Newspapers—Intervieging a , “Fresh” Youth, Because He Is Rich—Some M Opini ( Copyright 1888.) Some years ago, when I was in Washington, the wife of a distinguished politician, and herself no slouch in letters end diplomacy, said to me with charming freshness, *‘It is positively unpleasant for me to mix in society, because I see so frightfully deep into people.” I meet every day men and women who arrogate to themselves vast superiority over their fellows, They know more; they see further and appreciate more keenly the affairs of life than the ordinary run, and do not hesitate to convey that impressién to those with whom they associate. That there is a subtle sense of intuition, given more especially to women, is unquestionable. But experience and observation convince me that judgments based on physiognomy, espectally;-are quite as apt to be wrong as right.» I never shall forget an illustration that is in my own experience. Iused to meeton the Fulton ferry-boat, two or three times a week, a tall, handsome man in a glazed cap, peajacket, and generally rough attire. His face was weather-beaten; he never ‘entered the cabin, and almost invariably »took his postin the forward end of the boat, whence with an apparently critical eye he regarded the clouds, the tides and the harbor! aspect in: general. In spite of rough lines and ‘a bronzed ‘skin, he had one of the most intelligent faces, I think, I ever saw, and his profile was purely Greek. How many stories I imagined about him and his experience. In imy mind’s eye I saw him as a cabin-boy, a seaman, a second mate,'a captain. I saw him battle with winds and defeat storms, I thought of him in shipwreck.and pictured him among the isles of the ocean. I saw him return to his home lacen with the results of his manly endeavor and congratulated him, mentally, that the sunset of his life was to be passed in a calmer atmosphere and ina true sailor’s snug harbor, Ireally attached myself tothe old fellow and would have resented an insult to him quickly. Imagine my intense disgust, surprise and mortification when I learned one day that he was a steward in a second-class hotelin Brooklyn, in the interest of which he madea daily trip to Fulton and Washington Markets in New ‘York city, The iconoclast who rudely broke my idol laughed heartily when I told him of my creation and, making a clean breast of it one night we hauled the old fellow into a “refreshment saloon,” onthe cornerof Fulton and South, and drowned my diseoncertation in the flowing bowl. My thoughts run in ‘this channel this evening, because as I passed the Fifth Avenue Theatre I met a magnificent looking man. He wore a slouch hat, his high, bread forehead was fringed by shaggy eyebrows, underneath which fairly gleaned two'superb and soulful eyes. His side-whiskers roughly set off a rude and rugged countenance, massive in its detail and giving every evidence of strength and power,’ His stout neck led. to a pair of herculean shoniders and a rhysique that any prize-fighter in econdition might be eontent to envy, I/noticed that he was poorly clad and ‘wondered how it was that a being of such unquestionable mental vigor‘'and physical force could be deficient in the taste which would lead him to clothe himself in more lheecoming apparel. Half an hour after that, stauding in the saloon of the Brower House, where I had gone to “see a man” —and found him—this same old party came in, and, with a deprecating look upon his rugged conntemance, begged the giftof a dime. That settled it. Again was the image shattered, and I said to myself, ‘After all, is this boasted science of physiognomy worth the hue and cry and hullabaloo its disciples make about itr”? : Now and then you find a man whose exiernal appearance comports with his inner nature and with his social power. Henry Ward Beecher was a. ec pi illustration, What he did in public the public know. He had a lion’s head, a boly full of blood and muscle, a rough, rude locomotive build, and he went through the streets as he went through life, tearing everything before him. In my judgment he easily ranked with the five men who made the century, in which he lived, monumental among its fellows. * The former ‘head of; the house of Vanderbilt.had very muoh such a head, very much such a body. Mr. Gould is one of the smallest men in the city, with a little head, a small neck and a nervous, fibreless body. Yet see what a potentiality he is. Decry him as you may, the man who starts with nothing but his head and his hands, and in less than a quarter of a century. amasses (no matter how) from eighty to one hundred millions of dollars is net to be sneezed at. President Garfield had a snperb. carriage, a frank, open face, a manly body, an_impulsive, off-hand, sociable, hale-fellow-well-met style about him, and yet who of the inner brotherhood will dare to say, in the fuce of facts, that those physieal features ‘were in any sense exponeuts of his mind or of his heart? Then again Mr, Blaine has a push and dash, mental and social, which distinguishes him upon the street among his fellows. He walks as he lives, restless, pushing, dashing and driving; every act is crowned with enthusiasm, every movement is born of a resolute, fixed, deterniined purpose. You notice I speak of the house of Vanderbilt, I did .so intentionally. Whether it is. the newspaper or the person that has brought this about Iam not prepared to say. The fact is, however, that New York is gradually developing a codfish aristocracy, evidences of which creep out not onlyin the silly weekly newspapers which Saw paid-for gossip about “high life,’’' but even in the great. dailies, which, y afford us sone folk oro bs ach limpses of the magnificent mansions saa Mrs. Smith ‘gives a tea,” Mrs, Jones has‘‘a german,’’and Mrs. Robinson actually ‘‘gives a theatre party.” The reader will be surprised to know that in very many instances these announcements ate so many advertisements. One society. journal of this city, which ‘gives weekly rot, divides a very handsome surpl three months among its fortunate Prietors. That the PMmowest seis! tviacs of tue commonest class of people can in’ any'sense be construed into matter of public futerest I deny. much ta'ked of in this-year of our Lord, 1858, as Mr. Jay Gould, rnd now, not ¢content with parayrapking him, with. earicaturing him and libsing hin ani lying about him, for and acainst him, the omnivorous reporters tari: to his young son George and glorify kim, columns at ao time. As a matter of fact George, who is about twenty-six or seven years of age, isa very nice boy, with the%freshness of boys of that age who have more money to spend in a week than they could make themselves in a lifetime. An entérprising daily went to the extent of interviewing this youth and obtained his ‘views’? on speculation, the drama, reading, society, capital, labor, railroad projects and the future of electricity. From that interview the awe-struck public learn that, in George’s judgment, the stage is as powerful as the church to instruct the masses; that, while he is not fond of books himself, he is kind enough to realize the importance of science and literature in the world, and he closes a long and interesting paragraph on arts and science iu general by saying, “There was always something coldly beautiful in statuary to me.” Concerning electricity George said that it is only inits infancy and he would not be surprised if'we were yet to see it take the place now occupied by-steam as the propelling force for railroads (sic) and ocean vessels, and that, as it is a subject well worthy of the attention it is receiving from scientific minds, he takes a personal interest in it. Now you knowthere are two ways of looking at this; as a jolly good joke at the expense of a very young man, who, when he is older, will appreciate the point and laugh at it as heartily as we do now, and the other is that itis a cropping out of the toadyistic element which finds much favor in a certain grade of newspapers and some favor in all. In the “Parisian Romance,” Baron Chevrail says: ‘We are living in the nineteenth century, when it isthe fashion to abuse the millionaire, but I notice that those who abuse‘him the most admire him the most.” The Baron‘could find many illustrations of his satirical apothegm in the editorial rooms of our esteemed contemporaries, The millionaireelementin New York City has done much to beautify our streets, to adorn our parks and something to encourage arts, but, with one or two exceptions—chief of which I really believe Mr. Gould to be, for his tastes are . refined, and his home habits those-of-a scholar—generations must pass beforethe millionaire element will be educated, cultured, refined and, in many senses, de sirable. 5 = The eagerness with which the smallest sprig of foreign nobility is welcomed, the avidity with which the most mediecre way in which notorieties are entertained and made of, afford the highest kind of a pole upon which these social monkeys clamber, and so significantly disclosetheir tails of toadyism, flunkeyism and ignorance of all the proprieties and almost the decencies of reputable life. Howanrp. AN AUTHOR'S SUPERSTITION. has been attracting attention for several years past by his clever 68 And atorles of frontier life, and whose recent novel, ‘‘A Nymph of the West,” is receiving favorable comment, has some curious superstitions about literary composition, and is unique in his methods of work. The most unique feature of his study is a human skull and femora surmounting a book case. The thigh bones are those of a man, but the skull is a woman's, said to have formerly appertainied to a Mexican senorita of great beauty. There is gome mystery about this relic, for the author is reticent about talking of it. The brain cavity is lined with black velvet, and the top of the skull opens with a hinge; for this ghastly box is a receptacle for pens and the names 6f his herolnes inscribed upon bits of ivory. Itis his custom when the name of a heroine bas been selected, and her character and physical attractions are in process of development, to put thistitie in the head of the skull and Tet it temain there until the story fs finished. The eyes of the skull are provided with silver fonts to contain ink— the left red and the right black. When in the throes of composition this skull is used; and his fiction may, therefore, be said to emanate from the left eye, and consequently from the right hemisphere of the skull of the Mexican senorita. Readers of Poe's ‘Gold Bug” maysmile at this singular analogy between the finding of material and mental treasures by this sepulchral precess, but in Mr. Seely’s case, oddly enough, the result is neither morbid nor gtewsome. His fiction is eminently wholesome, natural, and even ofahumorousturn. Cynthia Dallas, the heroine of “A Nymph of the West,” is said to have been drawn aftera prominent beauty in New York society. In this respect Mr. Seely follows the tradition of Sir Walter Scott in ‘‘Ivanhoe;” for Rebecca is currently believed to have been the portrait of a Jewish lady of Philadelphia, Davip WECHSLER, PACIFIC SLOPE FRUITS. The first shipments of California fruits for the present season have been received in this city. Last year large quantities of apricots, peaches, plums, pearsand grapes weresent to New Yerk. They weresold at auction on the day of arrival, and immediately appeared on the corner stands and in the fruitstores, Their arrival inadvanceof like fruit from other regions and their attractive appearance created a large demand. The prices at which the fruit was sold were lower than California fruit had ever before been offered at in this city, for the first. and many tasted this fruittime. Lastseason was virtually an-experimental one. Previous to that time all California fruits that had reached this market came from Chicago and were sold vate gale.

In the realm of disease the facta of im heritance are most numerous and are daily accumulating. Here, alas, they become terrible, fateful and overwhelming. No fact of hature is more pregnant with awful meaning than the fact of the inheritance of disease. It mects the physician on his daily rounds, paralyzing his art and filling him with dismay. The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, renderiag them desolate, The Furies still ply thetr work of terror aad death, but they are not now clothed tu the garb of superstition, but appear in the more intelligible but no less awful furm of hereditary disease. Modern seienee, which has illuminated se many dark corners of nature, has shed a new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, “The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Instances of Hereditary + disease abound. Fifty por cent. of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of families, of cancer and s¢rofula, run in families through inheritance, Insanity is heroditary in @ marked degree, but, fortunately, like many. other hereditary diseases, tends te Wear itself ont, the stock becoming extinct. ‘A distinguished ‘scientist truly says: “No organ or texture of the body is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease.” Probably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less Mable to be inherited, Tha important and far-reachi ical ded from such facts—affectiug so powerfully the happiness of individuals and f. and the coll e welfare of the nation—are obvious to reflecting minds, and the best means for Ppreventing or vuring these diseases is a subject of i i toall, F y has’ provided a remedy, which experience has attested as infallible, and the remedy is the world-famous Swift's Specific, a pure pound ‘s for all blood poisons.

PEOPLE. Henry Ward Beecher, C dore Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Garfield, Blaine, and Others—Snobbery of the Newspapers—Intervieging a , “Fresh” Youth, Because He Is Rich—Some M Opini ( Copyright 1888.) Some years ago, when I was in Washington, the wife of a distinguished politician, and herself no slouch in letters end diplomacy, said to me with charming freshness, *‘It is positively unpleasant for me to mix in society, because I see so frightfully deep into people.” I meet every day men and women who arrogate to themselves vast superiority over their fellows, They know more; they see further and appreciate more keenly the affairs of life than the ordinary run, and do not hesitate to convey that impressién to those with whom they associate. That there is a subtle sense of intuition, given more especially to women, is unquestionable. But experience and observation convince me that judgments based on physiognomy, espectally;-are quite as apt to be wrong as right.» I never shall forget an illustration that is in my own experience. Iused to meeton the Fulton ferry-boat, two or three times a week, a tall, handsome man in a glazed cap, peajacket, and generally rough attire. His face was weather-beaten; he never ‘entered the cabin, and almost invariably »took his postin the forward end of the boat, whence with an apparently critical eye he regarded the clouds, the tides and the harbor! aspect in: general. In spite of rough lines and ‘a bronzed ‘skin, he had one of the most intelligent faces, I think, I ever saw, and his profile was purely Greek. How many stories I imagined about him and his experience. In imy mind’s eye I saw him as a cabin-boy, a seaman, a second mate,'a captain. I saw him battle with winds and defeat storms, I thought of him in shipwreck.and pictured him among the isles of the ocean. I saw him return to his home lacen with the results of his manly endeavor and congratulated him, mentally, that the sunset of his life was to be passed in a calmer atmosphere and ina true sailor’s snug harbor, Ireally attached myself tothe old fellow and would have resented an insult to him quickly. Imagine my intense disgust, surprise and mortification when I learned one day that he was a steward in a second-class hotelin Brooklyn, in the interest of which he madea daily trip to Fulton and Washington Markets in New ‘York city, The iconoclast who rudely broke my idol laughed heartily when I told him of my creation and, making a clean breast of it one night we hauled the old fellow into a “refreshment saloon,” onthe cornerof Fulton and South, and drowned my diseoncertation in the flowing bowl. My thoughts run in ‘this channel this evening, because as I passed the Fifth Avenue Theatre I met a magnificent looking man. He wore a slouch hat, his high, bread forehead was fringed by shaggy eyebrows, underneath which fairly gleaned two'superb and soulful eyes. His side-whiskers roughly set off a rude and rugged countenance, massive in its detail and giving every evidence of strength and power,’ His stout neck led. to a pair of herculean shoniders and a rhysique that any prize-fighter in econdition might be eontent to envy, I/noticed that he was poorly clad and ‘wondered how it was that a being of such unquestionable mental vigor‘'and physical force could be deficient in the taste which would lead him to clothe himself in more lheecoming apparel. Half an hour after that, stauding in the saloon of the Brower House, where I had gone to “see a man” —and found him—this same old party came in, and, with a deprecating look upon his rugged conntemance, begged the giftof a dime. That settled it. Again was the image shattered, and I said to myself, ‘After all, is this boasted science of physiognomy worth the hue and cry and hullabaloo its disciples make about itr”? : Now and then you find a man whose exiernal appearance comports with his inner nature and with his social power. Henry Ward Beecher was a. ec pi illustration, What he did in public the public know. He had a lion’s head, a boly full of blood and muscle, a rough, rude locomotive build, and he went through the streets as he went through life, tearing everything before him. In my judgment he easily ranked with the five men who made the century, in which he lived, monumental among its fellows. * The former ‘head of; the house of Vanderbilt.had very muoh such a head, very much such a body. Mr. Gould is one of the smallest men in the city, with a little head, a small neck and a nervous, fibreless body. Yet see what a potentiality he is. Decry him as you may, the man who starts with nothing but his head and his hands, and in less than a quarter of a century. amasses (no matter how) from eighty to one hundred millions of dollars is net to be sneezed at. President Garfield had a snperb. carriage, a frank, open face, a manly body, an_impulsive, off-hand, sociable, hale-fellow-well-met style about him, and yet who of the inner brotherhood will dare to say, in the fuce of facts, that those physieal features ‘were in any sense exponeuts of his mind or of his heart? Then again Mr, Blaine has a push and dash, mental and social, which distinguishes him upon the street among his fellows. He walks as he lives, restless, pushing, dashing and driving; every act is crowned with enthusiasm, every movement is born of a resolute, fixed, deterniined purpose. You notice I speak of the house of Vanderbilt, I did .so intentionally. Whether it is. the newspaper or the person that has brought this about Iam not prepared to say. The fact is, however, that New York is gradually developing a codfish aristocracy, evidences of which creep out not onlyin the silly weekly newspapers which Saw paid-for gossip about “high life,’’' but even in the great. dailies, which, y afford us sone folk oro bs ach limpses of the magnificent mansions saa Mrs. Smith ‘gives a tea,” Mrs, Jones has‘‘a german,’’and Mrs. Robinson actually ‘‘gives a theatre party.” The reader will be surprised to know that in very many instances these announcements ate so many advertisements. One society. journal of this city, which ‘gives weekly rot, divides a very handsome surpl three months among its fortunate Prietors. That the PMmowest seis! tviacs of tue commonest class of people can in’ any'sense be construed into matter of public futerest I deny. much ta'ked of in this-year of our Lord, 1858, as Mr. Jay Gould, rnd now, not ¢content with parayrapking him, with. earicaturing him and libsing hin ani lying about him, for and acainst him, the omnivorous reporters tari: to his young son George and glorify kim, columns at ao time. As a matter of fact George, who is about twenty-six or seven years of age, isa very nice boy, with the%freshness of boys of that age who have more money to spend in a week than they could make themselves in a lifetime. An entérprising daily went to the extent of interviewing this youth and obtained his ‘views’? on speculation, the drama, reading, society, capital, labor, railroad projects and the future of electricity. From that interview the awe-struck public learn that, in George’s judgment, the stage is as powerful as the church to instruct the masses; that, while he is not fond of books himself, he is kind enough to realize the importance of science and literature in the world, and he closes a long and interesting paragraph on arts and science iu general by saying, “There was always something coldly beautiful in statuary to me.” Concerning electricity George said that it is only inits infancy and he would not be surprised if'we were

yet to see it take the place now occupied by-steam as the propelling force for railroads (sic) and ocean vessels, and that, as it is a subject well worthy of the attention it is receiving from scientific minds, he takes a personal interest in it. Now you knowthere are two ways of looking at this; as a jolly good joke at the expense of a very young man, who, when he is older, will appreciate the point and laugh at it as heartily as we do now, and the other is that itis a cropping out of the toadyistic element which finds much favor in a certain grade of newspapers and some favor in all. In the “Parisian Romance,” Baron Chevrail says: ‘We are living in the nineteenth century, when it isthe fashion to abuse the millionaire, but I notice that those who abuse‘him the most admire him the most.” The Baron‘could find many illustrations of his satirical apothegm in the editorial rooms of our esteemed contemporaries, The millionaireelementin New York City has done much to beautify our streets, to adorn our parks and something to encourage arts, but, with one or two exceptions—chief of which I really believe Mr. Gould to be, for his tastes are . refined, and his home habits those-of-a scholar—generations must pass beforethe millionaire element will be educated, cultured, refined and, in many senses, de sirable. 5 = The eagerness with which the smallest sprig of foreign nobility is welcomed, the avidity with which the most mediecre way in which notorieties are entertained and made of, afford the highest kind of a pole upon which these social monkeys clamber, and so significantly disclosetheir tails of toadyism, flunkeyism and ignorance of all the proprieties and almost the decencies of reputable life. Howanrp. AN AUTHOR'S SUPERSTITION. has been attracting attention for several years past by his clever 68 And atorles of frontier life, and whose recent novel, ‘‘A Nymph of the West,” is receiving favorable comment, has some curious superstitions about literary composition, and is unique in his methods of work. The most unique feature of his study is a human skull and femora surmounting a book case. The thigh bones are those of a man, but the skull is a woman's, said to have formerly appertainied to a Mexican senorita of great beauty. There is gome mystery about this relic, for the author is reticent about talking of it. The brain cavity is lined with black velvet, and the top of the skull opens with a hinge; for this ghastly box is a receptacle for pens and the names 6f his herolnes inscribed upon bits of ivory. Itis his custom when the name of a heroine bas been selected, and her character and physical attractions are in process of development, to put thistitie in the head of the skull and Tet it temain there until the story fs finished. The eyes of the skull are provided with silver fonts to contain ink— the left red and the right black. When in the throes of composition this skull is used; and his fiction may, therefore, be said to emanate from the left eye, and consequently from the right hemisphere of the skull of the Mexican senorita. Readers of Poe's ‘Gold Bug” maysmile at this singular analogy between the finding of material and mental treasures by this sepulchral precess, but in Mr. Seely’s case, oddly enough, the result is neither morbid nor gtewsome. His fiction is eminently wholesome, natural, and even ofahumorousturn. Cynthia Dallas, the heroine of “A Nymph of the West,” is said to have been drawn aftera prominent beauty in New York society. In this respect Mr. Seely follows the tradition of Sir Walter Scott in ‘‘Ivanhoe;” for Rebecca is currently believed to have been the portrait of a Jewish lady of Philadelphia, Davip WECHSLER, PACIFIC SLOPE FRUITS. The first shipments of California fruits for the present season have been received in this city. Last year large quantities of apricots, peaches, plums, pearsand grapes weresent to New Yerk. They weresold at auction on the day of arrival, and immediately appeared on the corner stands and in the fruitstores, Their arrival inadvanceof like fruit from other regions and their attractive appearance created a large demand.. The prices at which the fruit was sold were lower than California fruit had ever before been offered at in this city, for the first. and many tasted this fruittime. Lastseason was virtually an-experimental one. Previous to that time all California fruits that had reached this market came from Chicago and were sold vate gale.
