JL. sTIisklsil a I MA THE CITY. HOEIE EVIDENCE Of the Success of Dr. Light- hill's Practice in New Haven. Statement of Mr. T. SI. Cox, No. 8&t. John Street, IVew Haven. Dr. Liighthill takes pleasure and pride in submitting: to the consid eration of those interested the fol lowing statement of Mr. T. M. Cox, an old and prominent resident of New Haven. A Happy Experience. (From the Journal and Comrior, July 10.) We take pleasure in presenting to our read ers the following cord from Mr. T. M. Cox, an old resident of Kew Haven, and a gentle man highly respected and widely known in our business and social circles. The state ment of his happy experience of Dr. Light hill's treatment is full of interest and will be deservedly accepted by our community with the utmost confidence. Testimony of this nature and character reflects great credit on Dr. Lighthill's ability and skill, and cannot fail to establish him in public confidence. New Haten, July 9. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Iighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-six years I had been troubled with a catarrhal complaint, whioh was very annoying and often interfered with my swal lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tacked my hearing, impairing it to a consid erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Iighthill's pa tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me ta place myself un der his care, and happily I did so. Dr. light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all its attendant troubles, and re stored my hearing to its former perfection and acuteness. I know Dr. Ughthill's repu tation is so well known that any recommen dation on my part 1b scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging a duty ts the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity t make this pub lio statement of my case, bo that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief. My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthill's efforts has taught me to appreci ate fully the value of specialties in .medical practice, and I feel assured that a few min utes' conversation with Dr. Iightnill will con vince the most skeptical of the fast that he is a master of his profession. T. M. COX. 85 St. John Btreet. For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys tem, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe rienoed at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra vated cases and it is one of the happy fea tures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva riably be given as to -the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present a reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthill's professional core may rest assured of receiving every ben efit guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex tensive experience.

The first plank in the Democratic platform opens thus 'We pledge ourselves anew to the doctrines and traditions of the Democrat ic party." What are those doctrines and tra ditions which the Democratic party is so proud of and loyal to We find them well stated in the National Republican. The doctrines were the pestilential State rights ideas embodied in the Virginia and Kentucky resolution of 1798, under which South Carolina set up her nullification scheme under which secession was inaugur ated and civil war brought upon the country under which the Democratic party was par alyzed from making any efforts to save it standing, as Buchanan and his administration did, and declaring that there was no power in the general government to coerce a State in armed rebellion seeking its life. Another doctrine was derived from the Dred Scott decision, under which slavery could go wherever it pleased. The tradition is that the Democratic administration of Bu chanan would have it go over the whole country without any power anywhere to check it, while the "squatter sovereignty" branch of the Democratic party was for re pealing the Missouri compromise and letting slavery go where it pleased, but gave the people of a Territory the rifht to shut it out when they formed a State. These were the great doctrines of the Dem ocratic party, to which it pledges itself anew. The traditions are that every revolutionary scheme which has disgraced the politics of the country since the foundation of the Re publican party has been fathered by the Democratic party, from secession in the South to Garcelonism in Maine. The traditions are that for thirty years human freedom never had a friendly vote from the Democratic party, while every measure fastening slavery upon the country received its hearty support. The traditions are that had the Democratic party succeeded in 18GO, slavery would have cursed all our territories, and free labor would have been degraded and disgraced. The traditions are that had the Democratic party succeeded in 18(!8 in declaring all the reconstruction measures "unconstitutional, revolutionary and void," it would have re pealed them all and left the results of the war fruitless, except in debts and publio bur dens. The traditions are that every Democratic State voted against abolishing slavery by a constitutional amendment. That every Democratic State voted against the fourteenth amendment of tho constitu tion which made "all persons born or natu ralized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside, and which provided that 'no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of a citizen of the United States nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property with out due process of law nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal pro tection of the laws." That every Democratic State voted against the fifteenth amendment of the constitution, which provides that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude." There is also a tradition that New York, New Jersey and Indiana voted for these amendments when they, were Republican States, and that when they became Demo cratic States they voted to withdraw the con sent which had been given to them. These are some of the traditions of the glorious old Democratic party, to which it pledges itself anew. EDITORIAL NOTES. There don't seem to have been any "groat lack of Republican enthusiasm" during the progress of General Garfield through New York State' and in his reception in New York city. It takes considerably less real estate to make a man rich or poor in London than in New Haven, as is shown by two recent auc tion sales in the former city. Messrs. Edwin Fox Bousfield sold, by direction of the First Commissioner of Her Majesty's works, premises in Seething Lane, Tower street, at 1 17s. 4d. per square foot, or at the rate of 211,992 per acre. They also sold by direc tion of the Court of Chancery, ten freehold houses in Ely Place, Holborn, occupying to gether about 13,112 feet, all with vacant pos session, the leases grantee ninety-nine years ago having expired. The total amount of sale was 34,570, being at the rate of 2 lis. 6d. per square foot, equal to 112,1G7 per acre. The Democratic organs which howl about "extravagance and corruption" in the na tional administration under Republican rale will not be interested in the communication of Commissioner Raum to the Secretary of the Treasury. The Commissioner says that there are now no deficiencies in the accounts of any of the internal revenue collectors in the United States. Of the large sum of $123,981,916.10 collected for internal reve nue taxes during the past fiscal year, every cent has been paid into the Treasury. The expense of collecting this amount has been about Si per cent, on the sum collected. This economy and honesty of administration would be impossible under Democratic man agement. It should be noted, also.that there have been 25 officers and employes killed and 55 wounded while engaged in enforcing the laws during the past four years. A recently issued Blue Book gives some interesting information about literature in India. Altogether, 4,890 works were pub lished during 1879, but a good many of these were republications and translations. Under the head of biography were 35 works the drama, 119, and fiction 199. To poetry 717 volumes were credited, nearly the whole of them from native hands. India would seem to possess very few tourists, for there were only nine volumes of travels and voy ages.1 Only two works on politics figure in the list, and both of these were published in the Madras Presidency. Only three out of 199 novels were due to European author ship. Bengal alone was aesponsible for no less than 71 native romances, Bombay for 43, Madras for 21 and the Punjaub for 8. Assam, being more profitably engaged in tea cultiva tion, left the Muses nearly alone, the total emissions from her press numbering only 17. But the central provinces were even more absorbed in producing cotton, as they found time to write only a single work during the year. The Punjaub.on the contrary, in spite of its industrial activity, had leisure for the production of 815 works.including 183 poems and 245 books on religion. Seth Green says that the so-called shad wnioh have been dying in large numbers in Lake Ontario belong to another branch of the same family of fishes and perish from starvation. They travel in such large schools that there is not food enough for all in any one locality, and the consequence is that those which are at the head of the school pick np all the food, while those in the rear starve to death. He has picked up and ex amined hundreds of them. They are but little more than skin and bones, and have nothing whatever in their stomachs. The same fish have also appeared in Cayuga Lake, but are not as large as those of Lake Ontario. During a recent visit to the former lake he observed a school feeding. He fol lowed in their wakr, as he hod done before in Lake Ontario, and picked up several not yet dead, and found they were dying from starvation. They have made their appear ance in both Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, and it is a mystery how they get there. In order to get to these lakes from Lake Ontario that is, if they go that way there are sev eral dams which it would seem impossible for them to get over. The only feasible ex planation is that there must be an under ground channel leading from Lake Ontario to these waters through which they can pass. American wheat growers and speculators will not be bowed down with grief over the prospect that the wheat crop of Russia will not be a large one. Professor Lindemann, who was invited to investigate the plague of locusts in Russia, reports that the "Cecydo mia destructor" infests a large part of Central Russia in the government of Toula, the dis tricts of Bogoroditsk, D' Ephremof and No vossil in the government of Orel, the dis tricts of Mitsenk, Elets and Novoarchangel in the government of Riazan, tffe district of Ranenburg in the government of Tambof, the districts of Kozlof, Tambof and Ous man in the government of Voronez, the dis tricts of Voronez, Bobrof and Zemlansk in the government of Renza, the district of Tchembar. "It is, therefore, a proved fact," continues the Professor, "that six govern ments in Central Russia, justly considered to be the granary for the whole empire, are thus infested with this terrible enemy. I hear from all sides that one-half and even three quarters of the harvest is destroyed by this devastating insect. The samples brought to me confirm this fact. We must not lightly regard the propagation of these creatures. The evil calls for the most energetic and im mediate measures. The only practical means in my opinion is the burning of the stubble field after the harvest, but not later than the first days in August. Immediately after the burning the fields musts be tilled a second time. Another very effective measure is to delay the fall sowing, so that the sprouts may not appear until the end of August." Other pests were busy with other cereals, and it does not seem likely that Russia will play her usual part this year in the food supply of western Europe. CHOLERA Cl'KKS.

Let Women Have Charge at Oar School System. To Jhe Editor of the Joubkal utd Coubiek The health commissioner of New York city says 4 'The most successfully managed char ities of the city of New York are nnder the sole management of women. There is no hospital in the United States conducted by a board of men that "can compare in efficiency and economy of administration with those conducted by women." Just so successfully would women manage our school system, more economically and with better satisfac tion than men. There is no need of men su perintendents, secretaries or principals. There are women in New Haven fully compe tent to fill these posts of honor, and they would appoint teachers whose brains would not be racked and nerves all unstrung by five hours' daily labor in the school room. Such teachers you will find are the ones who do not like teaching the ones who are anx iously peering in the distance for the coming man hoping in that way to be released from toil for which they have no tact, no taste. Bnt they will select and will have places well filled with women who are born teachers, who love their business and are wedded to it, whose brain and nerves strengthen by their daily occupation. We have also enough such in our midst who are competent to fill all these places, and release a score or two of who have education and money to help fill the places in the far West, where the call is so loud, the demand so great, and the field for usefulness so wide.

OFFICE 400 STATE STREET. 'Way Down in Maine." Tne Journey from Hew Havon to Bar Harbor Surprising Changes at Mount Desert Since the Last Season" Hlore Room Tor Visitors and More Visitors Improvements at the Grand Central The Frigate Constitution The New Steamer Mount Desert. Correspondence of the Joubnai. amd Coubier. Bab Habbob, Mount Desebt, Me., August 3, 1880. f Dead Cocbteb We are now making our third annual visit to this beautiful summer ref uge amidst the cool waters and the evergreen hills of old Maine. Our journey here from your city "nearly 400 miles down east" was exceptionally pleasant. Leaving on Fri day morning by the 8:15 train, after a pleas ant run, arriving in Boston at 2:40, in time for dinner and a stroll, at 5 p. m. we take the fine steamer. Cambridge, which, after an ex ceedingly quiet sail and a good night's rest, lands us at Rockland, the city of lime-kilns, just before the sun rises the next morning. Here we are transferred to the steamer Mount Desert, waiting to receive us, and at 6 o'clock we are threading our way through the cluster of little islands which line our route through Penobscot Bay. A delightful sail it is pic turesque and beautiful our little steamer often apparently about to run into the solid land before us, and yet at the last moment escaping by an undiscovered narrow channel which a short distance had concealed from view. Two or three hours later, the summits of the Mount Desert mountains, clad in their old-time garments of azure hue, are plainly visible greeting the new-comers with a far off view, yet seeming so long to recede from their advances as to cause them to exclaim, "Thou art so near and yet so far." An hour or two more, however, and the distance between us is annihilated, and as we double the bold promontory of Otter Cliffs and enter the mouth of Frenchman's Bay, the many brilliant flags and streamers gayly waving from the tops of the hotels give token that the summer carnival which is yearly held upon this favored spot is now in full progress. As we sail up the Bay, the familiar sight of the trimly-rigged yachts, floating gracefully upon the swell of the in coming tide, and the multitude of smaller boats, manned with oars, each bearing a pretty girl's name, assure us that we are near "the haven where we would be," and at 12 o'clock we step upon the wharf and our journey is accomplished. The changes that have taken place in Mount Desert since a year ago at this time are in deed surprising. Many of the hotels have been increased to double and treble their for mer capacity. The Grand Central has added forty rooms, a large veranda, an immense music and dancing hall, together with other additions and attractions, rendering thid pop ular hotel more attractive than ever before. Besides these, a large number of private cot tages have been built, most of them in the Queen Anne style, and many of them are truly elegant in their exterior shape and inside appointments. But yet "the cry is, still they come," and there are not now accommodations for all. Frob ably there are from 2,000 to 3,000 more visitors here than any season before, and when the limit will be reached it is not easy to foretell. So long as it shall continue to be the home, if not the birthplace, of refreshing and cooling breezes so long as it shall mum tain its pre-eminence for picturesque and unique beauty in natural development so long as the song of the mosquito is not heard in this land, and the titillating influence of the flea is not felt so long will it continue to be more and more the asylum of the thou sands who seek rest and refreshment during the "heated term." The hotel registers contain the names of residents of almost every State in the Union, but the cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia are particularly well represent ed. Mr. Southbridge, the clerk of the Cen tral, like old Virginia, "never tires," but his patience and ingenuity are often severely taxed to meet the exigencies of his very diffi cult position. But he succeeds most admir ably, and none but those who are resolved not to be pleased, or who are chronic grum blers, will find fault with his arrangements and his efforts to please. A prominent feature of the company here this season is the unusually large proportion of well-favored young ladies, who, if not candidates, are surely eligible for the grave responsibilities of domestic life. If report be true, a very recent exemplification of this is the case of a gentleman of your city, con nected with Yale College, who after a tran sient acquaintance with a young lady else where, found here, in her society, that inspi ration which consummated the "tie that binds," never to be broken until the end of life's duties. The frigate Constitution, alias "Old Iron sides," now used as a training ship, is lying at anchor in the bay, nearly opposite our hotel. She was launched in the year 1797, and achieved a memorable history in the war of 1812. Although maintaining her identity as the veritable old frigate Constitution, of historic renown, repairs upon her from time to time have been so extensive and thorough as to justify the remark made by a friend at my elbow, that she is very much like the boy's jacknif e, which he prized for long pos session, but had had repaired, first with a new handle and then with a new blade, still cherishing the idea that it was the same old jacknifg still. The officers of the frigate are invited to a grand hop at the Grand Central this evening, when there will undoubtedly be a great display of beauty, together with official dignity and gallantry. The boats bringing to and carrying away passengers from this place are all manned by careful and reliable commanders, who have never met with a serious accident, and may be safely trusted but the new and neat little steamer Mount Desert appears to be fast be coming the favorite. She mokes her trips to and from Rockland with fewer stops than the other boats, making quieffer time, and her experienced and careful commander, Capt. H. P. Robinson, spares no pains to contrib ute to the comfort of his guests. I have many more things to speak o'f, but as I have promised to make this a short letter, I will close for the present. Yours, J. B. C. The English Grouse Season. From the London Telegraph. As yet it is rather early .to speak about the prospects of grouse-shooting this season but as far as the facts are discernible it may cheer the drooping spirits of wearied legisla tors to know that when "the Twelfth" comes there will be merry work waiting them on the moors. We are now within less than a month of the time when the noble Bport "amang the heather." must begin, and it is gratifying to find that the outlook is encour aging that, in fact, the only dismal element in prediction is the possibility that the House of Commons may be kept sitting until partridge-shooting becomes lawful. The birds are, generally speaking, plentiful, and they appear to be firm, plump, and healthy. Of course the backward "cheepers" have suffer ed severely from the recent thunder storms. and if these tempestuous outbreaks are con tinued during tins montn they will carry havoc over the moorlands. We cannot, how ever, believe that the weather will persist in being unpropitious, and we are fairly entitled to reckon upon an improved state of things in comparison with former bleak and barren years. One of the most interesting bits of news for grouse-shooters is that birds have been seen on the Prince of Wales' property at Sandringham. It has been held to be im possible for grouse to flourish so far south as Norfolk, and the Prince has endeavored to upset this notion by tryinct to acclimatize the birds on bis estate. That he is meeting with a certain measure of success must be gratify- iug to aua unit to tin sportsmen wno nave been eagerly watching for the result of his Royal Highness' spirited experiment. The ex-Empress Eugenie intends shortly to quit Chiselhurst and take the remains of the Prince imperial with her.
