Science and loctrjr, He Declare, But hi Short on Knowledge of the Morementa of Mermaids, -; ; To the Editor -of The Observer: , A bit ago CoL H. E. C. Bryant collaborated, with, me in the, prepara tion of an article; which was intended aa an historical and' crushing reply to , your- position antagonistic to the bloodhoand. Mr. Bryant s was, and had cause to be, jubilant ever our ex- pose of the fallacy of your merciless verbal assault upon the long-eared sleuth, for by the highest scientific and historical authorities we proved ' his efficiency from the' time he helped Julius Caesar to conquer Gaul to the time when he ran Bruce and Wallace up a tree,; and proceeding triumphant ly, for the present, we confidently cited the bloodhound pups of Chief iOrr, from which great things were ex pected. Mr., Bryant's Joy at having the "Old Man" whipped out on this vasty argument waa something pret- ty to see. True, other gentlemen of : the "Male Pen" warned us to look t out for, the "Old Man." They told us frankly that you would give us well, well, Bheol. And so you did, Summoning your satire and taking a . fresh draught' at your Inexhaustible fountain of humor, you proceeded to Jump ever and Ignore all our history i and were forced actually to resort to patent petltlo prlnclpll, by assum "'Ing that the mongrels In North Caro- '' llna who have abandoned the trail of the criminal to chase rabbits or to , ran their masters to their doors, were 1 blood-hounds. Tou not only captur- ed the public to our chagrin, but it '"was soon whispered around that Chief Orr was saying that the career of his ' pups sustained all you said about the natter. Tour piece was copied throughout the North and South. The New YorK Sun came over to my side Just at the 1 time Mr. Bryant weakened and pass ed over to your support by publishing the bloodhound speech of that in imitable lawyer-dramatist Col. Cy. Watson. A few days after, having been deserted by Col. H, E. C. Bryant, VI was joined by one of the greatest authorities on dogs and at the same time one of the greatest photogra phers in the South, who lives right here in Charlotte, who speaking by the book, declared and deolares that there has , never been a genuine blood hound In the "Old North Htate." The fact Is, however, you have the Jury with you, that In to say, the public, though It knows no more about a sure-enough bloodhound than it does about an lrthysoaurus. I Will have to content myaolf as against you and the met of your readers with the endorsement of "Uncle Sam." who recently uwd a genuine bloodhound succpuwfully ac cording to a report in The Obsarvwr, In running down and taking the ne gro assailant of Captain Macklln. Conscious of defeat at your hiinds on the hliHxlhound proposition, I have endeavored to got my friend, Col. H. K. C. Bryant, to Join me In again attacking you. but he laconically In- forms me that "fools rush In where angels fear to tread," and so he Is a Scared angel and I am a fool In this business, according to his philosophy, for I am going to wade In. Yes, sir, I am going to try and flank you. You may know all about blood hounds and science, and statesman ship and poetry, but If what I have heard is true, you arc short on knowl edge of mermaids.

Now I an going, to hold you right down, to the letter and to the tacts no Jump Ing of established data, If you please. '' In mythological account, the met maid', was described as having- "the head and body of a woman of ex. ceedlng loveliness and hair of .. lux uriant growth, while the lower part of her body. was that of a fish, whose scales, shimmered like gol4 or sliver as she basked in the sheen of the sun." - Now, sir, ; let us turn to he facts to some of the accumulated historic data touching the existence of the mermaid. In a work entitled Dellcea d'Hol lande, we are told that, in the year 14 SO, some girls found a mermaid on the seashore near Edam; that they brought It In their boat to the city; that 1t ate like one of them, but would not speak, and that it was taken to Haerlem, where It lived for some years, though always showing an Inclination to the water. In the Hist, de la Compagnle de Jesus, Part 11 No. 276, It is stated that a mermaid was captured off the western coast of Ceylon In 1560,' a number of priests being witnesses, snd that physicians who examined her stated that above the waist line she was In all respects like a well formed woman. In Pontoppldan's Natural History of Norway theie are several accounts of mermaids, but none more Inter esting than that of the taking of the one In the harbor of Cherbourg, which was in 1613 carried by the mayor of that city and exhibited In Paris. In 1775, In the very month the Mecklenburgers were declaring their Independence of Oreat Britain, the Londoners were gazing upon a mer maid, which had been captured in the Aegean Sea, the description of which Is given as follows: "Its face Is like that of a young female; its eyes a fine light blue, Its nose small and hand some; Its mouth red; Its teeth are regular, small and white; Its chin well shaped and Its neck full. Its ears are like those of the eel, but placed like those of the human spe cies, and behind them are the gills for respiration, which appear like curls. But Its chief ornament Is a beautiful membrane of fin rising from the temples, and gradually diminish ing till It ends pyramldlcally, form ing a foretop like a lady's head-dress. Its breasts are fair and full, the hands and arms being well proportioned. The lowar part of Its body is formed In all respects like that of the cod fish, the polished scales occasionally reflecting the rays of the sun In a most beautiful manner. The whole length of the animal from the crown of the head to the extremity of the tall Is about four feet." In 1812, when we were engaged In sweeping England from the high seas, the London papers were again filled with the description of a beautiful mermaid, "observed for a period of two hours off Kxmouth bur by n yachting party of ladles and gentle men, while atie disported herself In the inltn and tratiHparent sea In the wake of their boat" they even threw her some (Huyler's) cundy and fruit, which she. ate with astonish ing relish. Ten yeara passed away and then on the 26th of April the Kev. Dr. Phil lips, representative of the London Missionary Society at Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, wrote to Belt's Weekly Messenger, London, "I have to-day seen a mermaid. I have al ways treuled me existence or tuts rr"turp H fabulous, but my ptl- Ism i now removed." Ills descrip tion of the mermaid, which followed, corresponds with that ulrcudy Riven. It Is unnecessary to name other In stances there are many. Having HHllslled you, I hope, of the actuality of the rnermuld, I be to call your at tention to the fact that thin beautiful r.t .n,h ,,f (hi. iron wua autit tfi iiiiMHeHS 'h power of prophecy, and If that be so, what n chance your city editor, Col. H. K. C. Hryant. missed In not Interviewing the Catawba visitor. This matter Is brought forward, not only for the purpose, of Hanking you and overwhelming you. If I isn. In return for my defeat on the blood hound proiiunclainento not only to get even llh Col Hryunt for desert ing me, by showing his failure to do the Htate a service by Interviewing the Catawba siren, but because you are recognized us the historic nnd hi lentlfU- orucle of this section of the globe, and If what I buve said Is not true, thu folk ought to know It, and you are i hallenKed to answer. I will anticipate you by admitting that the Teutonic mermaid hud no llsh-tall nppi'ndage, s for Instance th Lorelvl "Who fits a wondrous maiden On high, a mulrten fair, With golden Jewels laden, Kite cumlm her ("mIiIi-h hair.

In early days every barber shop was an operating room and the town physician resorted to bleeding as the sure cure for all aliments from chicken-pox to cholera. As a result, many. Including our first President, died prematurely. The present low rate of mortality Is due In large measure to the ad- ivancea made In medical science vancea made In medical science and the knowledge of the specific treat ment needed for each disease known. There Is no disease more common among American and English peo ple than dyspepsia. So prevalent hag it become that thousands suffer with it half unconsciously, consider the symptoms as natural to their physical constitution and resign them selves to living on in that condition. There Is a remedy for dyspepsia, and only one, recommended and en dorsed generally by physicians: Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets have etood the test of years of use by millions governmental analyses in Kurope and Anierlc. -nrt hvp h ' ,,.,, t0 contan the elements which Nature !na" lut ""0 le stomach for digestion a, diastase and other fer- utuarf nvsnenola T.il.let. relieve i the stomach and bowels In a perfect ly natural way by helping them do their work.
