To-day the physician is of a different opinion; he Ie aware that it is his duty—lisagroeablo though It may be-—to handlo this matter without gloves and hout it; and intelligent pareuts and thank him for doing so. ‘The results attending this destructive vice were or. merly not understood, or not properly estimated; and no importance being attached to s subjoot which by 1ts nature docs not invite closo investigation, it was willingly ignored. The habit is generally contracted by the youn; while attending school; older companions throuj 3 their example, may bn responsiblo for it, or it may bo aoquired through accldent.

T all thoso engaged in this dangerous, practico, 1 would say, first of all, stop it at once; make overy possible effort to doso; but if you fail, if your nervous system is already too much shattered,, and conso- quently, your will-power broken, take some norve tonic to aid youin your effort.

Tired of Greek. There are a number of college gradu- ates here, a larger number probably than is generally supposed. Among these are a goodly number of graduates from the state university at lowa City, and many more that have taken a partial course there. At present there is among them quite an intorest manifest in the discus- sion concerning the study of Greek, as laid down in the course, and it seoms that a large majority of the *‘college bred” men of this city favor the position taken by Charles Francis Adams, Jr. 1t is not unlikely that their feelings in re- gard to the study of Greek may result in a formal expression by petition or other- wise with a view of getting Iowa’s uni- versity to make the study of Greek no longer a requisite, but leave it as optional in the course, It would be well if a meeting could be called of all college graduates in thiscityand vicinity andsome action by which their exact views on this question could be ascertained. It is pre- dicted that such a meeting would result in showing that a large majority of all graduates are in favor of making Greek simply optional. Few graduates, who have taken a classical course, find any practical help from the smattering of Greek, and a smattering is all that most of them have left by which to remember their college life. On the other hand they do feel the need of inuch informa- tion which they might have gained in the hours spent on Greek. The world of thought and of action is so much larger than years ago, when Greek vas held so sacred to scholarship, that a real student, aiming for succoss in life, and secking the best helps to gain thab suc- cess, must needs uae his time and exert his energies to the best possible advant- age. The man of to-day, with the rapid strides of scientific thought, cannot afford to spend time preparing to dwell with the ancients, but must _equip him- self 80 as best to keep pace with tho mod- ern. Those who have the munagement of the colleges and universitivs seem timid about making at least the experi- ment of having Greck placed among the optional studies, It is a concession on their part that the classes inGreek would dwindle down to a very fow students—a concession that the demand is for a mod- ernized system of education. Conceding that such 1s the demand, why not meet it? It would be interesting if all college graduates here, from whatever institu tion, could gather some evening and give expression to their own views, They are in better condition to judge than stu- dents just entering upon a course, for they have had experience in the world as well as the school room. Such a formal expression would be of interest and of help. e — Wabash Baggage Car Vize, Yesterdny moraing, shortly after the Walash train arrived at the transfer pre- vious to departure for tho south the bay- gage cir attached to the trein was dis- covéred to beon fire, There was no bag- gage in tho car but a couple of mail pou- ches which wero saved. ~The fire is sup- posedto have originated from an over- heated stove and badly damaged the car. CRESTON'S ELECTION, n Sketehes o1 the Oley Officers Just ©Chosen There, Correspondence of Tie Bee, Cresron, Towa, March 4.-—Your corre- spondent has a few words to say after the battle on Monday, the 3d of this month, The city election has resulted in the choice of the following oflicers for the ou- suing year: Mayor—Charles C, Fisher.

The result was that a ma- jority of 147 votes told the delightful stery.

WiNTERS, A ROMANCE HORSKS, After Eighteen Years of Searching the Thief Proves to be a Wealthy Colorado Rancn Owner., Kansas City Times. “I have just found a for man whom I have boen looking 18 years,"declared De- tective George W. Coleof St. Louis to a Times representative yesterday. ““What are the particulars of this ex- traordinary case!” was asked at on “Well, in October, 1856, Hugh Cross, president of the First National bank of Jerseyville, 1iL, lost two very valuable tiorses, They were thoroughbreds and very fast,and one was worth about $5,000, the other being valued at $1,600. The horaos were ovidontly stelen, and circum- stances made it very probable that two men, well-known hard cases in the com- muuity, had committed the theft, The horaes were heard from again, but one of the suspected men aftorwards roturned to Jersoyville. As there was not suflicient evidonce against him he was not arrested. Two yearsago I located the other sus- pectod man in Colorado. About that time an old negro woman died in Jersey- ville, and just before her death she de- clared that a negro who had been a serv- ant in the Cross family could tell all about the robbery. What had become of this negro no one knew, and he disap- d from the neighborhood just about the time the horscs were lost. Until yes- torday it was impossible for me to locate this negro, but at last my labors have been rewarded. I found the colored man at Atchison, and proves such an ex- cellent witness that I will at once cause the arrest of the long suspected lorse- thief.” “How did you discover your wit- ness! “Oh, Istumbled upon a olew, and when I found him it was not long until 1 had the whole story from hi He said the thieves had threatened to kill him if he ever breathed a word of the matter, s0 he quietly disappeared as they were known to be desperato men."” “How did he happen tc be a wit- nesa?’ *‘Hesays hewas going past the barn when he saw the men let down the bars and lead the horses out of alot. He knew the men and recognized both, and he gives a very clear account of tho affair.” ““Whera is your other man?” ““Well, eir, that is another chapter of this strange romance. After a youth of the wildest and most lawless nature, ho married ard went west, and is now a wealthy ranchman in Colorado. Yu_,alr, ho has plenty of wenlth, and positon, and a nice family, too.” “What do you intend to do with him?" Arrest him of course, 1 am on my way now to the governor of Illinois for a requisition, and as soon as that is ob- tained I will go west and get my man.

Mrs. Weber consulted a wizard, who agreed to find the concealed wealth by his myatic power, Ho was to call up the spirit of Mrs, Jon- tener's mothor, who would bring the money. At midnight last Monday night, according to appoiutment, Mrs, Jentner and her husband went toan old oak treo in & clump of woods on the outskirts of tho city, where they wore met by the wizard, After some conjuring words,the wizard called up the alleged spirit, and a ghostly figure robed in black with a white veil overits head, appeared from the tree. It reached out a tin hox, which the wizard took on his bended knecs, and giving it to Mrs, Jentener, said: **Your wnoney is in this box, you must not open it till you get home.” " The ghost disap- eard, and the trembling couple hurried into the city, and oyuninx the box found it full of rubbish. The wizard was paid a handsome fee, Mrs. Weber, whom Mrs, Jentener had arrested, explained to the police magistrate that she reall thought the man was & wizard, could -.ai‘; up the spirits, and could get Mrs, Jon- tener's money for her.

In tho thickest woods, atong old fence-rows, clinging to the tallest treee, or covering a thicket of under- brush, foruiing the most bountiful of rustic bowers, it scoms everywhere at home. 1ts peculiar habits serve asan admirable illustration of the divine fore- thought of the Creator, Laving, as it docs, upon the waste of the more rugged denizens of the wood, its delicate rootlets feeding close to the surface, the tendrils clinging to their giant trunke for support, it beautifully exemplifies,the* ‘supremo fituens of things” in nature. Wherever (we go we find frash evidence thut “‘God lives,” and that He works with a purpose in view, This habit of the grapevir J, in common with other plants, of feeding near the surface, upon decaynig vegetable matter, brings to mind the injunction’ of our blessed Saviour, “‘Gather up the frag- ments, that nothing be lost,” and which should be bourne in mind by tillers of the soil. We find everywhero so many nooks and corners of premises, both in towns and country, given over to weeds, that might and should by all means be made to bring forth fruit by the growth of vines, or some other kind of fruits, flow- ers or vegetables, As tho country be- comes filled with a denser population it becomes the duty, as it will after a while become necessary, for all who are fortun- ate enough to own a piece of land to put it to its utmost productive capacity. This can only be done by putting to good use every spot and corner, allowing no waste places about the farm or lot, as the case may be. Fortunately the grapevine will grow and form an object of beaut; in many places where nothing else will, such as a narrow space between the fence and & house, or under the corner of an out-house, and by being trained up under the eave it finds a home admirably suited to its wants. It may also be so trained a8 to produce an abundsnt shade, or, if that is not wanted, it v { be 80 trained on the wall as to produce but little or no shade at all ALpH ; Currox, Greene county, O, - — Humax Broon,—On the purity and vi- tality of the blood depend the vigor and health o the whole uynwll. 5 Dinuu:l u{ : various kinds is often onl he sign tha it nl: trying to Yomovo the disturbing| Ve are prepared to furnish plans and estimates, and will contract for e, A remedy that gives life and the erection ~of Flouring Mills and Grain Elevators, or for chunging vigor to the hlood, eradicates scrofulai Rlouring Mills, fremStone to the Roller System.
