Eye, Ear & Catarrh
The following cases are only a few of the many
Dr. Prentice has cured. In his treatment he
wishes it to te distinctly understood that be uses
no caustics or so-called burning for the cure of
granulations, etc., but with a mild treatment gets
quicker and more permanent results.
A New Orleans Letter.
My son had a troublesome catarrh of the he id
and the throat for nearly three years. I have
watcbed the gradual progress of the disease with
a g-eat deal of anxiety, for when I placed him
und« r the care of the leading physicians, and while
Btrii tly following their advice aud medical treat-
ment, I saw my son from day to day arrow worse.
His hearing became so badly affected that h* could
not hear the ticking of a watch held close to the
ear. After trying the leading specialists of this
city, finally I took him to Dr. Prentice, 18 Dryades
Btr« et, and from that day he began to improve, arid
he continued to grow better until he could hear the
san e waich six feet distant. His general health
lias improved, and all bad symptoms have passed
nwey. In short, Dr. Prentice cured my son when
his case seemed almost hopeless. I sincerely f"el
that I can recommend Dr. Prentice as possessed of
the highest skill and ability, and I take the greatest
pleasure in adding my testimony to his long list of
triumphs. E. P.' MARTINEZ,

trip, and can be found at his old stand. No. 18

Cross-Eyes.
I have been cross eyed twenty-nine years. I
went to see Dr. l'rentico two weeksago. In less
time than one minute he made my eyes perfectly
straight, and they have remained so since. Myself
and family are delighted with the result, lean
also see much better than ever before.

A Homely Face Made Beautiful.
Until I was 12 years of age my face was as
smooth as any child's, but since that time it has
bt-en covered with pimples and rough blotches to
such an extent that I felt ashamed to go out into
company. I am now 25 years old. The best part
of n.j lite I have been excluded from society for
having my face covered with pimples and blotches.
I have tried everything 1 could hear of. I have
Leen to the best pin sicians of our country, and
even gent to Paris, France, for remedies. I had
tried po many thines I never expected to have a
smooth, good-looking face again. I was recom-
mended to try Dr. Prentice, and admit that I had
little or no faith at all; but I can now honestly and
with happiness say that after a little more than one
month with Dr. Prentice my face is again as
smooth and free from pimples and blotches as it
ever was.
There is not a trace of the disease left that has
disfigured me so long. It is with pleasure that I
«dd this word of testimony to Dr. Prentice's long
list. OLIVE J. HARPER.
181 Washington boulevard, Chicago, 111.
Mr. L. J. II. Foster, of Crawford, Miss., was to-
tally blind for several years with cataract. His
eye W8s operated on by an eminent oculist of New
Orleans. After several weeks of horrid suffering
his eye ran out. The doctor then said he did not
believe it could be done successfully under the ex-
isting conditions of Mr. Foster's system. But after-
ward Dr. Prentice operated under precisely the
pame conditions and gave Mr. Foster sight. Mr, L.
J. H. Foster's address is Crawford, Miss.
Two Blind Sisters.
Dr. Prentice, the oculist, who has done a great
deal of skillful work in our city, is now in Lima
egain. for a few days before leaving for Europe
for his wife's health. To-day, in his office, we saw
a fceene, the like of wh'ch may never be again.
Two sisters, the daughters of Harrison Hay, have
both been blind respectively five and seven years
Yesterday, about 4 o'clock, p. m., he removed tiie
cat; racte from the eyes of both sisters in about the
space of five minutes, and both were able to see
immediately after the operation.
Fellow Fever Nurse.
From Memphis to New Orleins Mrs. 8helly is
km wn as a devoted and faithful yellow fever nurse.
Twenty years ago an accident caused h^r right eye
to go blind, and later her other eye began to lose
its sight. Then she began to consult eye doctors.
One or two took her money and treated her, yet
she continued to get worse. Other doctors told her
there was no hope. Finally she went to Dr. Pren-
tice He operated, and in less than one minute
she saw the doetor's face, and said: " Stop your
lai'jching at me; I can see you, doctor." In one
week Mrs Shelly could read and see tog)about
where she pleased, after being bliud in the eye for
twenty years. She will answer any correspondence
or talk with any one wishing to see her.

She Never Saw a Mardi-Gras.
141 have lived in New Orleans all my life, and
have never seen a Mardt-Gras. From early child-
hood I have been troubled with bad sight, and I al-
ways depended on my companions to inform me of
the subject, etc., and tell me what was passing by.
I always had to use the strongest Kind of opera
glasses, in addition to my eye-glasses procured
from the leading opticians, and yet I never saw a
procession of any kind to my satisfaction, or near
as well us other people could, until the Moinus pro
cessi n of last week. I could then, for the first
time in my life, read all the signs and posters,
saw all the figures on the floats and the minutest
details distinctly.
" I could never 'see the music score when seated
at the pi/'no, and could not sing from a sheet of
music when a iy one else held it. I have passed
friends and acquaintances on the street, never be-
ing able to see them. I have sat in a street car
and handed my fare to my husband and did not
know him. I could have ridden all the way home
with him not knowing who he was if he did n it
speak. In fact I could hardly mention the many
Instances of annoyance my bad sight has caused.
I have tiiec leading oculists and got glasses from
the first opticians of this country. I have under-
went constitutional treatment, took ever so many
drugs, all to no purpose. I finally resigned myself
to my pad fate, and thought I'd make the best of
it. But at last I found perfect relief in skillful
tieatment and application of glasses of Dr. Pren-
tice. and I shall never know now to express my
gratitude for all he has done for me He has most
certainly given me a pair of new eyes.

Stammering or Stuttering.
I am 10 years of age, and have been troubled
with stammering or stuttering nearly all my life,
at least since 1 can remember. It became so an-
noy inp to me that, I recently went to New Origins
to see if I could find relief. I was recommended
to Dr. Prentice, No 18 Dryades street. I was u»i
der the management of the doctor the first, time
for thirty minutes, and I have never stuttered on a
void or had the slightest difficulty since.

A Dissertation oq Civilization »■ Practiced by
Christians and Chinese.
IToThe News. I
Hkmi'Rtkad, December 8, 1884.—Seeing my
Chinaniun across the street, and dissatisfied
with his attack on our christian civilization, I
reckoned to him and he joined me at once,
tnd I opened on him:
" My dear sir, you were rather severe on us
the other day; yet I admit your remarks hid
% little coloring of truth. All nations have
their vices as well as their religions. The Mon-
golian race is not an exception. Without pecu-
liarities and distinctions there would exist a
common race and a common language. You
must admit your people are far behind us in
all that pertains to a true civilization, apart
from religious tendencies or Influences, such
as the appliances for transportation, Intercom-
munication aud commerce, to say nothing of
manufactures and the thousand and one things
that invention has produced for the comforts
and conveniences of life. Now, since these
evidences of progress are to be found only in
christian countries, it is fair to conclude that
they are indebted to the influences of chris-
JiaDity for their superiority to those nations
vho profess other religious beliefs, and there-
ore it is not a mlsnoner to call ours a christian
civilization."
1 he Chinaman replied: •' I admit that your
ideas are suited to your people and race, but
deny that their Imposition on other races is
beneficial to those races. For instance, take
the discovery of America. You can not deny
tbat ;your christian civilization followed.
What was the consequence? To-day the Ameri-
can Indian has almost passed into history.
His entire disappearance is but a question of
a few years more How much did vour civil-
ization benefit him? The same fate awaits
every race which will come In close contact
with yours, on the unequal terms which you
impose. Give an equal chance to the Chinese,
allow their unrestrained immigration to
this country, and they would soon
supplant you in all the avenues of
industry, opulence and wealth. This would
be a natural result for good reasons, among
which are superior economy with persistent
energy, a strict ad bet ence to national customs
and non intercourse socially or sexually with
other races. No better proof can be required
of this aggressive character of the Chinese than
your rational legislation excluding my peo-
ple. If similar laws had been passed in China
in the face of solemn treaty, a fleet of iron-
clads would have been the response of your
civilization. Your most vulnerable proposi-
tion 1b tbat your progress is due to your reli-
gion. From my understanding of the history
of your race, your progress, notably In all that
pertains to scientific lore and philosophic in-
vestigation, has been made In spite of your re-
ligion, which has trammeled and hampered the
efforts of scientists and philosophers. Your
history calls the period from the early chris-
tian era up to three or four hundred years ago
—the dark ages—and during all this time the
dignitaries of the Christion church had full
sway ovei the people—from the prince to the
peatant, from the feudal lord tohis humble serf.
The pope issued a bull against a comet to pre-
vent its nearer approach to the earth, and
philosophers were forced to recant avowed
theories, now known to be truths, for fear of
torture and excommunication. The history of
the cosmos, from your religious point of view,
is an absurdity and is at war with all the de-
ductions of investigation. How then can you
believe that Christianity has been an incentive
to your intellectual advancement? Christian
nations are noted for other elements of pro-
gress which you have failed to mention. One
is their aggressive policy toward weaker na-
tions, who are more inclined to acts of peace
than those of war. First the missionary is in-
troduced to teach them the ways of christian
charity and morality; then the trader with
his whisky barrel; then the gunboat, folio ved
by sometrumped upclaim to territorial rights;
then indemnity or war."
Glad to change the subject, I pointed to his
ai m in a sling and inquired the cause.
" Only a pistol shot," be replied. " It ap-
pears tbat some of your young men and mer-
chants have u habit of remaining out at night
from their families, firing off their pistols In
tbeair and disturbing people generally. One of
their stray bullets entered my window and
made an ugly wound in my arm. I com-
plained to my lanlady, but she assured me it
was nothing only a little diversion of these
gentlemen. Probably, sir, this is one of the
usages of your civilization."
" I told the Chinaman that a man wanted
to see me around the ccrner. And I left."

Hyatt, December 7.—The improvement of
Galveston harbor, it is to be hoped most sin-
cerely, will stir up our solons at Washington
to view the matter as it should be viewed, and
at once make all necessary appropriations to
i nable Captain Eads to m ike a success of his
project, and I do hope and trust that the in-
auguration of Democratic ascendency will bo
the means in its first year of administering the
government of seeing the work actively be-
gun if not finished of making Galveston the
leading seaport of all the gulf cities. I think
fri m private letters received recently from
a Kentucky senator Jand; several members of
Congress that this question is beginning to be
taken up as of national and not sectional im-
portance, and will be pushed through the pre-
sent session of Congress in time for Captain
Eads to make headway during the ensuing
spring and summer. So mav it be.
I am in receipt of a private letter from Colo-
J. J. Frey, general superintendent of the
Texas and St. Louis railroad, at Pine Bluff,
Ark., in which Colonel Frey says bis road is
doing a splendid business, and will soon be
moving ahead again on its westward march
from Gatesviile to the Rio Grande. Your cor-
respondent "railroaded" with the present re-
reiver of the road, W. R. Woodard, Esq. (not
Woodwird, as our Texas press will have it*
and Superintendent Frey years ago on the
Ohio ai d Mississippi and other roads, and,
from a personal knowledge of iheir fine busi-
ness qualities and general railway knowledge,
feels confident that the managers of the Texas
arid St. liouis did well in securing the services
of th< se two gentlemen to promote their in-
terests. The same may be truthfully said of Di-
vision Superintendent H. Flanders, who has
charge of the company's interests in Texas,
w t1! headquarters at Tyler.
Speaking about railroads, your correspond-
ent was pier sed to note a very pointed and
just editorial in The News a day or so since,
In regard to the penitentiary board taking a
contract to finish the Gulf Short Line rail-
road. Messrs. Editors, in the face of so many
honest men out of employment, with families
to support, is it right, is it just, or is it honor-
able to turn loose this convict labor—who are
supposed to be sentenced to hard labor Inside
the walls for some crime committed—to com-
pete with honest labor outside? I answer it is
not, and our legislature, about to assemble,
bad better look to it, and forbid such e nploy-
ttent by this board; else in the present surplus
of labor, or rather dullness in trade generally,
such a thing as turning out these cousicts to
take, as it were, the bread from the mouths of
honest men, with families to support, will
cause serious trouble, if not riots and blood-
shed. H L. R.

Galveston, December U, 1884,—In yester-
day's issue you gave an extract from the New
Yoik Morning Journal concerning a contro-
versy between this able champion of the Ro-
man church and the Protestant Episcopal,
Dr. Hopkinp. Many of your readers would be
apt to infer that this extract was the last,
rather than the earliest, stage of this popular
debate. For some of us who have followed up
the letteis as they appeared in the New York
Times, find that Dr. Hopkins is n )t a man who
enters the field of argument witti garbled cita-
tions or second-hand ammunition. And wlieu
this was charged against him he fortillod his
reply by repeating bis statements aud an ap-
peal to the monsi,:noi 's own writings ip-ilsiima
Verba. Whereupon the monsignor threatened
bim with au action for damages for oironlat-
irg false statements of his circular. This
drew from Dr. Hopkins an open letter to the
Ntw YorkTimes, from which, it seeins, that
instead of wielding a victorious lance, ho was
practicing poorly with something very like a
boomerang—as nothing has been heard from
bis right roverend since.
hopkins to capel.
Monsignor Capel—Right Rev. Sir: It Is well to
look at your last move, before you make another.
You seem to have forgotten all about tt. Permit me
to refresh your memory That move was embodied
In your extraordinary and peremptory telegram
of October 81, which was as follows:
To Rev. J. K Hopkins: Notwithstanding my
letter, your article is being sold without correct-
ing false stati inent. I must Insist on a suspension
of sale till corrected, or bold you responsible for
damages. Monsionok Capel.
In answer to this, after utterly exploding the
charge of having made any " false statement" of
what you had written, I assured you point blank
that the "correction" you "insisted on " would
not te made; and thxt the sale of my article would
not be " suspended." Uy the express terms of your
threat, therefore, you are bound to proceed against
me at law for " damages." Why don't you do it?
I am ready. You do not flinch from your own pro-
posal already, do you?
Of course, self-respect will not permit me to con-
tinue a controversy on ecclesiastic»l matters under
a threat of an action for "damages." You have
made your position for yourself—It is a very ridi-
culous position, no doubt; but it is all your own
doing. Recin your action at law as soon as you
please. If you do, vou will furnish no end of
amusement to my friends before you are done
wlih it, and the great American public will have
more than one hearty laugh.
If, however, you have changed your mind—as It
is much wiser to do—you can not be permitted to
drop such a threat as that in silence, and go on as
if nothing of the sort hail been said. You must
withdraw the threat, as plainly and as unequivo-
cally as it was made, or no notice whatever will
hereafter be taken or any lotter, public or private,
that you may address to your obedient servant
in thechureh. J.H.Hopkins.

A Lien Law for Farm Hands.
[To The News.l
Bkyan, December 5, 1884.—Of the subjects
that ought to receive the attention of the next
legislature, soon to assemble, ia a law giving
farm hands a lien upon the crops for services
performed! analagous to thd mechanic's Ilea.
It certainly seems that commen justice would
demand that a farm laborer who hires to an
employer who is execution-proof should have
Bome security for his wages. The lien of the
landlord for rent and advances should, of
course, retain precedence of all others, but
next to that and superior to (subsequent mort-
gages, at least, should come the lien of the
laborer. The exemptions afforded by our law
are 80 very large that not in one case in a
hundred of the generality of people can any-
thing be effected by suit. The exemptions
ought to be lessened or what the farmer
raises should be made to contribute
in pa^ ment of those who gave hiin their time,
and who, for the most part, are in poor cir-
cumstances, without homes or person il pro-
perty of noteworthy value. How this lien
should be enforced and the limitations that
should surround it are matters that legislative
wisdom can doubtless settle satisfactorily.
That s me steps should be taken to protect the
rights of farm bands in like manner with those
of other la borers,the past year of bad seasons,
short crops and Innumerable crop mortgages
have clearly demonstrated.
Let us hope that our law-makers will not
fail to give this matter due attention, and that
from the brains of some of the solons a suc-
cessful solution of it may bo evolved.

GALVK&Toft, December 9, 1884,—In your
column of state news clippings of to-day, you
quote from the Dallas Herald the following:
"The idea that the rules of law and equity are
different in the courts of the United States fro 21
those of the Slates has received a check by the
late dtciskn of Judge Sabin, of the United
States court, at Galveston, in the case of An
gerhoffer vs. Dun's Mercantile agency, in
which the letter sought to secure an advantage
by attempting to remove the ceuse fro'u the
state to the United States court, but the judge
of fbe latter refused to assume jurisdiction.
The Dallas Herald says, ' this is a righteous
and juirt decision.'"
As manager of the R. G. Dun & Co. agency
in this State, I beg to correct the false lui-
pmslon you have been led into in copying the
forge going paragraph from the Herald, the
suit in question having been instituted by An-
gerhoffer against the ISradstreet Agency, aud
not It. G. Dun & Co.
I would also beg to state f hat while in the
prosecution of our business, the Dun agency,
after transacting business in Texas for a
period of twelve years, now covering the field
with feven well equipped offices, has been
called into court but twice, once in answer to
a charge published by another agency, the
suit being dismissed at plaintiff's cost, the
other being now at issue, to which they be-
lieve they can present a perfect defense.

washed. The little fellow at length ex-
claimed to the baby: "You think you have lots
of trouble, but you don't know anything about
it. Wait till yon are big enough to get a
lickin', and then you'll see; won't he, mamma.'"

In the adjoining townships of Avon and
Canton, O., it has been the custom for several
years to pay a bounty of 50 cents each for all
woodehucks killed. The Avon selectmen re-
quired flie tail as a voucher, and by the Can-
ton selectmen the ears were taken as proof.
Recently it was discovered that the number
of animals on which the two towns paid
bounty was precisely the same. Then it
dawned on the two bonoiable bodies that the
unprincipled boy hunters of the two towns
had collected 50 cents from each town when-
ever they b.fgged a ground-hog. Whereupon
the selectmen of both towns, with great dig-
nity, decided to pay 110 more bounties for
woodchucks.

ARGUMENT.
OF
Cartersv ille, Ga.
This will certify that two members of my imme-
diate family, after having suffered for m&ny years
from menstrual irregularity, and having been
treated without benefit by various medical doctors,
were at length completely cured by one bottle of
Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regulator* Its effect on
such cases is truly wonderful, and well may the
remedy be called " Woman's Best Friend."
Yours respectfully,
JAMES W. STRANGE.
Dr. J. Davis, of Milltow n, Ala., writes: " Have
used Bradfield's Regulator extensively in my prac-
tice with entire success. If it is not a specific, it is,_
in my opinion, the best known remedy for the dis-
eases for which it is recommended."
