Cheerful Bathing.— “ Mark Twain,” in
his letter to the Alta, dated at Odessa, Rus
sia, August 22d, thus describes what he saw
at that place:
If there is one thing that is really cheerful
in the world, it is cheerfulness. I have
noticed it often. And I have noticed that
when a man is right down cheerful, le is
seldom unhanpy forthe time being. Sue is
the nature of man. Now I have often t mug i
that our style of bathing was rather reseriet
than otherwise, and lacked many elements ol
cheerfulness. But you cannot say that o le
Russian style. I watched a party of t em a
it this afternoon in the harbor, and it is
really nice. The men and women, and tne
bovs and girls, all go in together, a ong
about noon, and the men don’t wear anything
at all. the boys don't, the little girls don t,
and the young women and the old women
usually 'wear a single white thin garment
with ruffles around the top of it and short
sleeves, (which I have forgotten the name of
it,) but this would be a very good apology
for a bathing dress, if it would only stay
down. liut it won't do it. it will float up
around their necks in the most scandalous
way. and the water is clear, and yet they
don’t seem to know enough to kick up the
mud on the bottom. I never was so out
raged in my life. At least a hundred times,
in the seven hours I stayed there, I would
just have got up and gone away from there
disgusted, if I had bad any place to go to.
Several times I had a mind to go anyhow.
Why, those young ladies thought no more of
turning somersaults, when 1 was not looking,
than nothing in the world. Incensed as I
was, I was compelled to look, most of the
time, during this barbarous exhibition, be
cause it forced them to make a show of mod
esty, at least. Yet it wouldn’t even have
accomplished that, if they hadn’t been so fond
of show naturally.
Well, you can’t conceive of it. It was
awful. But sometimes my outraged feelings
were crowded down by my fears for the
safety of those girls. They were so reckless.
One splendid looking young woman went iu
with nothing on but a shawl, arid she kept it
wrapped around her so that I was afraid all
the time that she would tangle her feet in its
long fringes and drown herself. My solici
tude became so unbearable at last that I
went and signified'to her that if she wanted to
take off her shawl I would hold it for her.
But she*only|kicked|up her heels and dived out
of sight. I just took her to he one of your
high fliper, mock modest k nd, and I left her
to her fate. But she was the handsomest
girl in the party, ami it was a pity to see her
endangering her life in that way.
I said to Brown: “It makes my heart
bleed to look upon this unhallowed scene.”
“Wa better go, then,” he said. “If you
stay h re seven more hours you might bleed
1 1 death.”
So we we away, but it was marvelously
cheerful bathing.
Ol'R Foot-Hills. —The editor of the Vir
ginia Trespass, an old resident of tins State,
gives our citizens abiding in the foot-hills
the following good advice t
“ If the people living in the foot-hills of
California would entirely aband >n the idea
of building up a State exclusively as a mining
community, and go about the cultivation of
the vine, and fruit trees, and give their at
tention to raising cattle and horses, and
growing wool and working it up, California
would in six years flourish as it has never
yet. The valleys below, where common
farm produce grows so thriftily, are yielding
large crops of grapes. A great many
raisins are put up, and the supply is increas
ing as the demand grows. Large vats of
•wine are turned out. The wine is coming
yearly into increased demand in the East.—
It is far inferior to the wine produced from
the foot hill grapes It has not the * body’ to
stand ex"OS ire, and is insipid, or vinegarish,
in comparison with the juice of grapes from
the foot-bills. Where Sonoma and Los
Angeles wines command a dollar a gallon,
the wine from Coloma and oth°r points in
the foot-hills will command three dollars,
when judged by a connoisseur. The grapes
are gr wing up about the dilapidated houses
of the decaying towns, and ought to be
sufficient to repair the residences of the
growers; but the decay goes on. Very few
have the knowledge necessary to the profit
able making and caring for the wine. Very
few have the capital requisite to engage in a
regular systematic business in this line.—
Those few in the localities who have the
means are chary of inv< stment in such a way,
because of not understanding the business
—and money now in hand came not so easy
as in the old times. We expect to see the
gardens of the villagers, within a few years,
bought out by capitalists, the houses torn
down, fences thrown out, the spaces between
homesteads planted, and dozens of the
homes of young people now at school in the
villages, converted into one large vineyard,
where grapes will he gathered by the tun,
and the hundredsof tuns—and manufactured
on a large scale into tine, substantial wines,
which will appear in the markets of the
world in sufficient quantity and with such
regularity and certainty as to conquer a
place and reputa ion, and bring the producer
ii price corresponding to its superiority for
body and flavor. The people will then begin
to find use for the excellent and numerous
water powers all about the mountains, to
ent'aim in manufacturing the wool from the
miTlions of tine sheep which would subsist
there. There is nothing in nature to prevent
California from being an exporter of many
articles of woolen manufacture, as well as
wheat and hides.”
The“ finest woman in the world” is being
exhibited in a booth on the Champs de
Mars. Those who visit her are addressed
by her in the following modest style ; “ I am
the most beautiful woman in the world. No
empress, no queen, can compare with me.—
Yon are at liberty to touch me, messieurs;
you will find that there is no cotton about
me.” Very few of the visitors, however,
avail themselves of this permission.
Kirn Copper Ore. —U. Johnson and a man
named Williams have located a claim on
what appears to be a copper ledge, near
Silver City, on North Cow Creek. The crop
pings yield a prospect of 70 percent, in pure
copper, and the locators are confident that
they will strike a permanent ledge.
A lady passenger between Norfolk and
New York, by sea, who, while her attention
was directed to a passing ship, unfortunately
plied the fan too near her person, and raked
from her bosom a magnificent diamond brooch
knocking it into the sea. Th« value of the
pin was SSOO,
|The Uev. Robert Collyer, in a recent lecture
said : ” Almost the first thing God did after
making man was to make the other half of
him—woman. The husband and wife ought
to live together like two dewdrops in the cup
cf a flower.”
Primaries Under a New System.
Every honest and honorable man wishes
to see the present system of party primaries
improved or abolished ; and it is gratifying
to witness a disposition to try and see if some
other plan to obtain the popular will cannot
he substituted for the corrupt and uosat s
factory system now in vogue. Party pri
maries, even under the primary law, seldom
result satisfactorily only to the successful
nominees. They are in no way the sense of
the majority of the party. The unworthy
aspirant is as likely to win as the worthy.—
The best strategist at forming combinations
always takes the persimmon. The present
primary law is almost a dead letter because
optional with the party ; and frauds under it
are by no means impossible. If the existing
law will reform the abuses of primaries, so
long as it is optional, those who desire the
advantages of the old system will not adopt
it. The Alta, a few days ago, had a leader
on this subject from which wa extract the
following:
A more stinging commentary upon the in
herent viciousness of the primaries could not
he penned. It is futile to expect voluntary
reformation there. No matter how tempt
ing may be the offer, no departure from the
old way of cheating, swapping, mining and
countermining, trading, buying and selling,
will ever be made. It is rotten to the core,
and had better be abandoned altogether. It
is entirely beyond repair or improvement.—
Under such circumstances it is only natural
that the people should jump with alacrity at
any new mode of proceeding which promises
to secure anything like effectiveness for the
expression of the popular will with reference
to the nomination of suitable persons for
office.
In one of the counties of Pennsylvania they
have started an entirely new method, and it
is said that, so far, it has worked very ad
mirably. It is simply the appointment of a
Committee, who sit for a week, for the pur
pose of receiving the ballots of all the mem
bers of the party which they represent, set
ting forth the names of the persons whom
the voter thinks should be nominated for the
office to be tilled. At the end of that time
the ballots are all counted, and the person
who has the highest number of votes for
Sheriff is nominated for the Shrievalty ; the
person who has the highest number of votes
for Recorder is put up for that office, and so
on through the whole list.
There are no ward meetings, no convcn
tions within conventions. The intricate
machinery now so effectually used lor delud
ing the masses is completely set aside, and
the popular voice is expressed with clearness
and precision. By this means the people act
without those brokers, or middlemen, gener
ally known as politicians, who invariably
substitute their own interests for those of
their principals. They indicate directly who
they want for the various public offices,
which the exigencies of our form of govern
ment require. To make ii effective it
would be only necessary to provide for the
punishment of any member of the Committee
who should tamper with the returns, and for
the voter who should deposit a ballot on the
side which in the general election he does
not intend to espouse.
The selection and election of public officers
are so intimately connected —in fact only
parts of one act —that no valid objection
could be'urged against welding them togeth
er after this fashion. One thing is certain,
that almost any mode of proceeding would
produce more satisfactory results than the
one now in vogue. There is evidence that
we can neither patch up nor reform it. It
is corrupt past recovery. Some new ma
chinery must be manufactured, and it may
be that in this Pennsylvania invention we
have stumbled at last upon the true idea.—
It is an encouragement for progress in this
direction that we cannot possibly get up any
system that will he worse than the one with
which we are now trying to operate. Retro
gression is impossible.
Sheridan makes a Speech.— General
Sheridan was publicly received recently by
the city of Paterson, New Jersey, on which
occasion he made the longest speech yet
credited to him, and one that shows his
political sentiments ;
Gentlemen —l have a very few words to
say to you this evening. I find that you
have taken me by surprise, I came to the
city this morning the guest of Mr. Grant,
and did not expect to meet you here. But I
must confess that I am to some extent grati
fied at the pleasure of meeting you and
meeting the citizens of Paterson, and
especially meeting among the citizens of
Paterson, very many of th m, old comrades,
and very many who, if they were not ray
comrades, served in the armies with me. I
know that you are all inspired with the
same feelings and recollection that I am. I
think I said a few days ago that I never did
hy any act of mine heretofore make rebellion
honorable ; nor do I intend in any act of
mine hereafter to make it honorable. —
(Cheers). And I wish to say further that in
no act of mine have I thrown ashes on the
graves of those whom we lost; nor do I
intend to throw ashes on their graves. And
I hope that you will all join me in this sen
timent. (Cries of “We do.”) We, as old
companions, have many ties, and we must be
careful to preserve our own records, and to
preserve the memories of those who sacrificed
their lives for the safety of the country.—
(Cheers.)
One of the Mothers of the Repurlic.
—An incident occurred in Brooklyn, on the
occasion of the reception of General Sheri
dan, which shows, if anything were needed
to show it, how long this Republic is destined
to endure. As the General was about to
leave the City Hall, a space fo» his egress
was kept open by a double line of policemen,
who pertinaciously withstood the pressure ni’
the crowd ; but their efforts proved unavail
ing against the efforts of a middle-aged,
genteel appearing woman, who, reaching the
line of policemen, broke through ami with
one hound was at the side of the General,
when she said : “ General, my son was out
with vou. and I must shake hands with you.”
The General smiled as he extended his hand
and said : “ Did I get your boy back again,
without being hurt. Madam?” “Oh yes.”
responded the mother, “and he's ready to
fight with you again.” “ Ready to fight
again !” God grant that there may never
he occasion 1 but with such mothers as the
foundation for our Republic to rest upon,
who, but roadmen, will ever attempt to over
throw it?
Needed Soaking.— Not very long ago in
one of the Western States, there was a cer
tain Baptist church, whose members were
not exactly a unit on the subject of immer
sion. At a meeting of church officers, on
; one occasion, a certain person, not remarka*
} ble for parity of life, sent in a request for
admission into their fold. One of the com
\ mittee—a rather rough man, on hearing the
name of the individual, exclaimed : “ That
I man : well, il that man is to be admitted to
1 the church, Le ought to soak over night.”

the world's great remedy for
Scrofula and Scrofulous Diseases.
From Emery Edes , a well-known merchant of Ox
ford, Maine.
44 1 have sold large quantities of your SARSAPA
RILLA, hut never yet one bottle which failed of the
desired effect aud full satisfaction to those who took
it. As fust as our people try it, they agree there has
been no medicine like it before in our community.”
Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Ul
cers, Sores, and all Diseases of the Skin.
From Rev. Roll. Stratton , Bristol , England.
44 I ouly do my duty to you and the public, when
I add my testimony to that you publish of the me
dicinal virtues of your SARSAPARILLA. My daugh
ter, aged ten, had an afflicting humor in her ears,
eyes, and hair for years, which we were unable to
cure until we tried your Sarsaparilla. She has
been well for some months.’*
From Mrs. Jane E. Rire, a well-known and much
esteemed lady of Dennisrille , Cape May Co., X. J.
44 My daughter lias suffered for a year past with a
scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome.
Nothing afforded any relief until we tried your
Sarsaparilla, which soon completely cured her.’*
From Charles P. Cage, Esq., of the widely -known
Gage, Murray if Co., manufacturers of enamelled
papers in Xashua, X. 11.
44 1 had for several years a very troublesome
humor in my face, which grew constantly worse
until it disfigured my features and became an intol
erable affliction. I tried almost every thing a man
could of both advice and medicine, but without any
relief whatever, until I took your Sarsaparilla.
It immediately made my face worse, as you told me
it might fora time; but in a few weeks the nevr
skin began to form under the blotches, and con
tinued until my face is as smooth as any body’s,
and I am without any symptoms of the disease that
1 know of. 1 enjoy perfect health, and without a
doubt owe it to your Sarsaparilla.’*
Erysipelas —General Debility—Purify tho
Blood.
From Dr. Roht. Sawin, Houston St., Xew York.
44 Du. AYER. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions
and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your
Sarsaparilla, and I have just now cured an attack
of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we
possess equals the Sarsaparilla you have sup
plied to the profession as well as to the people.”
From J. E. Johnston , Esq., Wakeman , Ohio.
44 For twelve years, I had the yellow Erysipelas
on my right arm, during which time I tried all tho
celebrated physicians I could reach, and took hun
dreds of dollars worth of medicines. The ulcers
were so bad that the cords became visible, and the
doctors decided that my arm must be amputated. I
began taking your Sarsaparilla. Took two bot
tles, and some of your Pills. Together they have
cured me. lam now as well and sound as any body.
Being in a public place, my case is known to every
body in this community, and excites the wonder of
all.”
From Hon. Henry Monro, M. P. P., ofXew castle,
C. jr., a leading member of the Cantidian Parlia
ment.
44 1 have used your SARSAPARILLA in my family,
for general debility, and for purifying the blood,
with very beneficial results, and feel confidence in
eommeudiug it to the afflicted.”
St. Anthony’s Fire, Bose, Salt Bhoum,
Scald Head, Sore Eyes.
From Harvey Sickler , Esq., the able editor of the
7 unkhan nock Democrat , Pennsylvania.
44 Our ouly child, about three years of age, was
attacked by pimples on his forehead. Thor rapidly
spread until they formed a loathsome and virulent
sore, which covered his face, and actually blinded
his eyes for some days. A skilful physician applied
nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any
apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his
hands, lest with them lie should tear open the fes
tering and corrupt wound which covered his whole
face. Having tried every thing else we had any
hope from, we began giving your Sarsaparilla,
and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you
direct. The sore began to heal when we hail given
the first bottle, and was well when we had finished
tho second. The child’s eyelashes, which had come
out, grow again, and he is” now as healthy and fair
as any other. The whole neighborhood predicted
that the child must die.”
Syphilis and Mercurial Disease.
From Dr. Hiram Stout, of St. Louis, Missouri.
44 1 find your Sarsaparilla a more effectual
remedy for tho secondary symptoms of Syphilis
and for syphilitic disease than any other we possess.
The profession arc indebted to you for somu of tho
best medicines we have.”
From A. J. French , M. D., an eminent physician of
Laurence, Mass., who is a prominent member of
the. Legislature of Massachusetts.
“Dr. Ayer. My dear Sir: I hare found rone
Sarsaparilla an excellent remedy for Syphilis,
both of the primary and secondary type, aud effec
tual in some cases that were too obstinate to yield
to other remedies. Ido not know what we can em
ploy with more certainty of success, where a power
ful alterative is required.”
Mr. Chas. S. Van Line , of Xew Brunswick, X. J.,
had dreadful ulcers on bis legs, caused by the abuse
of mercury, or mercurial disease , which grew more
ami more aggravated for years, in spite of every
remedy or treatment that could be applied, until the
persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla relieved
him. Few cases can be found more inveterate and
distressing than this, and it took several doxen
bottles to cure him
Leucorrhcea, Whites, Female Weakness,
are generally produced by internal Scrofulous Ul
ceration, and arc very often cured by the alterative
•fleet of this Sarsaparilla. Some cases require,
however, in aid of the Sarsaparilla, the skilful
application of local remedies.
From the well-known and widely-celebrated Dr.
Jacob Morrill , of Cincinnati.
44 1 have found your SarsAparilla an excellent
alterative in diseases of females. Many eases of
Irregularity, Lencorrhoca, Internal Ulceration, and
local debility, arising from the scrofulous diathesis,
have yielded to it, and there arc few that do not,
when its effect is properly aided by local treatment.”
A lady, unwilling to allow the publication of her
name, writes :
44 My daughter and myself have been cured of a
very debilitating Leucorrhoea of long standing, by
two bottles of your Sarsaparilla.*
Bheumatiam, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dys
pepsia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia,
when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly
cured by this Ext. Sarsaparilla.

persons who suffer on day by day,
month after month, and year after
year, when their friends and neigh

malady that afflicts them. Now, it
