Williamsburg Letter tn the Cin. Commercial-Gazette. What a marvelous thing one sees here in the jecay of William and Mary College. Washing- ton went to school here. Three Presidents of the United States graduated here—Jefferson, Madison and Tyler. Chief Justice Marshall was 4 student in the college. Among other alumni were fifteen United States Senators, four signers of the Declaration of Independence, thirty- state and United States Judges, seyen Cabinet officers, including William * Wirt, Win- fleld Scott, Bushrod Washington, John Randolph Washington Letter in the Bonton Journal.

Ex-Constable J. R. Hall discovered on his left forearm about four weeks ago a woodtick that had apparently Just secured an enlodgment. Mr. Hall had it carefully removed by his son, who thought that he left no part of the head. How- ever,asore appeared, and finally becameso alarm- ing in Its nature that yesterday Mr. Hall sought a physician. The latter found a sore nearly as large as a silver dollar, and so hard that it was only with heavy pressure that he could push a knife through. He made two incisions, and sought for the head of the woodtick, but could not find tt. He informed Mr, Hall that the sore is very serious In its nature, being nothing more or less than the beginning of a cancer. He fur- ther says that unless suppuration sets in and throws out the bill of the tick in a few days, all the diseased flesh of the arm must be cut out. Mr. Hall may yet have serious trouble with it. It is such a common occurrence to find wood- ticks on the person that few know their dan- ger. After a woodtick once secures a hold, nothing but a sharp knife can dislodge it. Ita bill is long, sharp, highly poisonous, and 1s pro- vided with barbs that render its withdrawal im- possible; so that the common use of turpentine or a lighted match is simply a waste of time. Even though the tick drops off or be removed, his bill remains, the barbs holding it firmly. An Incision with a sharp knife and a close hunt for the remaining bill is the only method for remoy- ing It. These woodticks are so destructive that they can soon kill a colt or other young animal, and several losses of this kind have occurred in The London police force has been Increased 500 men, and the London News tells how the force is’ recruited.

From the Detroit Free Press. Up Second avenue the other night five young men softly entered a yard, arranged themeelves in @ semi-circle on the grass, and suddenly began to sing, while a guitar and a banjo added their sugary notes to the general sweetness. AS the song was finished a sash went up and a masculine voice called out: “Splendid! Beautiful! Gentlemen, please re- peat!” The band on the grass was only too happy to accommodate, and “Only a Pansy Blossom” went floating again onthe night breeze. “Entrancing! entrancing!” exclaimed the man at the window. “Gentlemen, I don't want to | put you to trouble, but if you would only sing | that over once more!” The song dragyed a little this time, and the alto voice seemed to have swallowed a troche down the wrong pipe, but it ended at last, and the old man called out: “That's what [call singing, that Is! Gentle- men, I’m no hog, but if I could prevail upon you to render that delightful poem once more, it would be a kindness I never céald forge! There-was avreat deal of growling in under- tones, but the leader gave the key, and for the fourth time the neighborhood was filled with dreadfully faded pansy blossoms. When the last note died away the old maa clapped his hands and lates “Better and better! You have my heartfelt thanks.

Tribune. ——+0+. Stop tr From the Christian at Work. Stop what? Why, the suicidal practice of un- covering the head at open-air funerals out of respect to the dead. The dead do not ask tor that respect. And if they did, there Is no rea- son why the living should grant It. And there is every reason why the custom should be yele- gated to the domain of antique absurdities. One of the most eminent of our city surgeons is the first to lift up his voice against the prac- tice. Six weeks ago Dr. Lewis A. Sayre acted as pall-bearer at the funeral of a friend. Removing the hat, as ts customary, as the nains were brought out of the church, Dr. Sayre caught a severe cold. resulting in capillary bronchitis and pneumonia, from which he is but just recovering. But Dr. Sayre’s case is one of thousands. Arecent instance fs that of Mrs. Dr. Beard, who, at the time of her hus- band’s funeral, canght a severe cold and dled of pneumonia within afew days. Marshall Jewell died of pneumonia and a few days thereafter his wife was also borne to the grave from a cold caught at his funeral, and so it is that funeral begets funeral. A Tarrytown clergyman was recently prostrated from a severe cold brought about in this way and he narrowly escaped pneu- monia. Dr. Sayre, who was recently inter- viewed touching his own case, narrates how he missed an opportunity. He sald: “I have lost such an opportunity of doing ood that I feel like kicking myself. J wanted & have sent a suggestion to those in charge of Governor Morgan’s funeral that they should an- nounce that out of respect to the dead the gen- tlemen present would please not remove their hats in open air. But I did not do it, I am sorry to say. I might have saved a million of Ives, and it is not many doctors can do that. ‘Out of respect to the dead,’ mind you, and such @ way of putting It would have offended no one and have carried the point. Such a proceding at the funeral of one so well known would hayebeen rep@tted all over the country, would have been imitated and, as I say,my suggestion might have saved a million lives. Taking my own case, for example. Iwas in excellent health up to the day of that funeral, and here I have been for overa month unable to move—having had a close rub of it with pneumonia—and taken away from my patients—a victim to an unreasonable custom.” There can be no doubt about it—a man, be he clergyman or layman, who leaves a close carriage to stand In the chilling alr of a cemetery with uncovered head does so at the peril of his life. Let the practice cease instantly. The Jewish idea of reverence insists upon the covered head in the presence of Jehovah; so there is nothing necessarily wanting In reverence . in having the head covered during a funeral ser- vice, but,on the contrary.much that is irreverent and wicked In disregarding the plainest law of health in removing the head-covering at a time when to do so is to expose one to one of the deadliest of diseases. We need to put this absurd custom wholly away, and the clergy and the physicians in their several towns and villages can help us to @ newer and better order of things. The larcest oyster ever taken in Raritan Bay caught off East Point, near Keyport, N. J., afew days ago. The oyster was 914 by 51¢ inches in slze, and weighed 23% pounds.

Ladies who have been vexed by the staring of young men in horse cars will be pleased to learn of a plan that has been invented for abating the nuisance and of the result of its first public trial. The discoverer ts a young lady of at- attire, conceived the idea of giving them the notion that something was wrong therewith. Accordingly, the other day, when she had borne for ten minutes the unylelding stare of one who uated midway between his neck and shoulder. tent; then a trace of apprehension crept into it; finally it avas reintorced by amusement, and a slight smile animated her features. The youth, who had at first responded to her evi- dent interest by an enzaging grin, began to look sober when he saw her earnestness, and when she smiled he made frantic efforts to look down his back and at his coat collar, in which en- deavor he made ingenious contortions, but was unable to see what wasthe matter with him. The young lady's attention, however, became more concentrated and her amusement more marked; he was sure he had run against some paint somewhere or that a water bug or other interesting specimen was climbing up his per- son; he withdrew his interest from the lady and concentrated it upon himself and telt the humid dews of perspiration coming out all over him. At length human endurance could no longer resist the suspense, and he hurriedly left the car, followed by a gentleman who had observed the incident. He then betook himself to a neigh- boring bar-room and called a waiter and asked him what the deuce was on his neck. *Nuffin, sah,” respovded the sable servitor. “Thank podness!” said the youth, with a sigh of relief; he blamed thing must have fallen off,” and when last seen he sweet boon to humanity, a whisky sour. es Crossing Brooklyn Bridge.

Persons who dislike snakes continually ask, “What is the use of them?” That they are not without a use will, I hope, appear in the course of this work, were it necessary to preach that ail things have thelr use. But in one habit that offended Lord Bacon, namely, of “going on their belly,” les one of their greatest uses, because that, together with their internal formation and external covering. enables them to penetrate where no larger carniyorus animal could yen- ture, into dark and noisome morasses, bog-jun- gles, swamps amid the tangled the tropies, where swarms of the lesser reptiles, on which so many of them feed, would other- wise ont-balance the harmony of nature, die,and produce pestilence. Wondrously and exquisitely constructed for their habitat, they are able to exist where the hizher antinals could not; and while they help to clear those inaccessible places of the lesser vermin, they themselve supply food for a number of the smaller mainmalia, which, with many ca young snakes.

From the Madison Madisonian. For several days the horse of S. B. Cohen, a merchant in this city, has been found ina pro- fuse perspiration in the early morning, with the print of a leg on either side, as if he had been ridden bare-backed. The stable Is locked at night. and the horse is in his stable at daylight every morning, but for the past few mornings he is panting as if he had just returned from a long jaunt, and is wholly unfit for service during the entire day. Changing the lock on the stable has no effect. The more ignorant are much agitated over the matter, contending that witches visit his stable. (Taare IS BUT ONE GENUINE ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER .
