H:' % WONDERFUL POPULARITY OF THE RENOWNED MEDICINE. the Greatest Curative Succrss of the Age ?A Voice from the People. No medicine introduced to the public ' has ever met with the success accorded to Hop Bitters. It stands to-day the best known curative article in the world. Its marvelous renown is not due to the advertising it has received. It is famous by reason of its inherent virtues. It does all that is claimed for ' , ? iK *It is the most powerful, speedy and effective agent known for the building up of debilitated systems. The following witnesses are offered to prove this: What It Did for an Old Lady. Coshocton Station,N. Y., ) December 28,1878.) .

' One day a bird of rare plumage and fong sat on the limb of a tree overlooking a pond. when a catfish arose to the ? surface and said: " You mtty be able to fly through the air, but you can't swim. You are not half so big a gunboat as you pretend to ,te."

If you were down here in the ** pond, I'd take the brag out of you in nbout a York minute!" sneered tne catyV. fish. After some further sass it was agreed ' that they sliould go to the cat and have u test to sec which excelled. It so hap penelT that the cat was out to see if there . v was any chance to pick up a bone at some one else's expense, ahd the bird quickly br^eht her to the banks of the pona. "You Bee," began the cat as she stroked her whiskers and looked wise, " this bird cannot swim and the catfish cannot fly. Therefore, you must meet ; on neutral ground. Each thinks that his cause is right, and you come to me ' to decide. The catfish will swim to the bank and the bird will alight on his back. One will try to pull the other down, and the other will try to pull the one up, and may the best man win." v The programme was carried out, each , being certain of victory; but while they . were struggling, the cat raked in botn ' for the benefit ot her stomacn. " When men can't agree," mused the satisfied cat, as she walked homewards, ^ . " they can si ways go to law, and the law will settle 1ho dispute, if it has to eat the cause of it. "P.

Coyner, a farmer, residing near Palestine, Hancock county, Ind., v . relates a singular incident which happened at his farm a short time since. Bis hired man was in the act of watering the cows, nine in nnmber. They werestandiug around the pump trough, awaiting his action, when all at once, with tails erec*, they rtade a stampede down the lane as fast as their legs would carry them. The cause of this sudden freak was a mystery to the hired mpn, but it was not long before he was , *. 4 let into what appears to have been the secret of the stampede. Suddenly, although the sky was clear and the atmosphere still, a young cyclone, not over twenty feet in breadth, darted down V- v from the sky, and striking the earth ' ' near the pump, twisted off five large beech shade-trees, standing near by, as ' i ' though they had been mere weeds. When the cows made the stampede there were no indications of its approach, .and by what mysterious rule of foreeight the cattle "smelt trouble in the air" is one of the things which " no Idler can find out. r . St A Trade Dollar Counterfeit. American counterfeiters are being "ruined by Chinese cheap labor." The ' . secret oervice recently received a trade pi / dollar which had been neatly scooped ' out in the center, leaving only a thin plate on each side, the cavity tilled with 9( lder, and the edges bound with a rim of silver, which had been skillfully milled in exact imitation of the genuine voik. The most remarkable thing about it was the fact that the weight and , . rins of the genuine coin had been so successfully imitated that the fraud was only detected by the ~.2rest accioent. As the operation involved so much painstaking work to realize a small profit, it is believed to have been done in China, where American trade dollars sive common. Gold coins of $10 and $ 20 haie been often doctored in this way by American counterfeit ors, bui the skill required for the work would hardly be satisfied with the smill profit Mri*UiOK from the manipulation of a \rade dollar ppywhere o^tsjde oi China. ... t' . . .

All tbe afternoon the tree bougbs had drooped under the tropic glow of the sun, the birds bad huddled silently in bowery nooks, the cattle stood knee deep in the delicious ripples of the limpid water, and Kitty Crawford, peeping out from behind the screen of her Madeira vines, had watched the party of picnickers go by in their little pony phaetons and huge, covered wagon, not without a sigh. "It's all very well to have nothing to do but to ei\joy one's self, but I have got the little chickens to take care of, and the butter to work over, and the gooseberry jam to make, and my own blue muslin dress to iron, it I expect to look decent in church next Sunday. Oh, dear! oh, dear! how nice it would be if people didn't have to work in this world! There goes Matilda Emmons, in her new lace bunting dress with the white Languedoc trimming?how pretty she looks, to be sure!" And Miss Emmons,catchinz a glimpse of Kitty Crawford's violet blue eyes behind the Madeira vines, drew up lier horse with a scientific jerk of the reins. "Kitty!" she cried, in sweet, imperative tones, " aren't you going?" "To the picnic, do you mean?" " To the picnic, of course." " Certainly I'm not!" retorted Kitty. "But why?" questioned Miss Simmons. Kitty elevated her pretty tip-tilted nose in the air. " Because," said she, "I don't choose to be looked down upon by those haughty city girls and their attendant cavaliers." "Nonsense!"said Matilda. " You may say what you please," returned Kitty, " but I know that Parke Cameron despises me, because I have red hands, and freckles across the bridge of my nose, and because I am only a farmer's daughter. And I won'c be despised!" "You little goose!" cried Miss Emmons, with good-humored superiority. " Didn't Ue dance with you, and no one else, last night at the moonlight frolic?" " That's because he wanted to amuse himself," said Kitty, haughtily. "Do you suppose I don't discriminate between real, genuine respect, and the supercilious patronage ol a fine gentleman, wli^. is laughing in his sleeve all the timer' And t~e indignant dewdrops sparkled on her long, curled eyelashes as she 0(/uav? "Ycu're altogether mistaken!" cried Miss .hmmons, witL emphasis. " But if you will be so wurougheaded, I can't stop to argue with you. Come! jump into the pony carriage, and go with me to the picnic!" j But Kitty resolutely shook her head. " No," said she, " I shall stay at home and pick gooseberries iqr jam." But, instead ol picking gooseberries, she indujged in a hearty cry, when Matilda and her pony were out of sight. "He don't care lor me," said she, to herself, " and I'm determined 1 won't care for him! He shall find out that I'm nut one ot the sentimental damsels we read of in books who die ol unrequited love." And Kitty Crawford dashed the salt spray olf her eyelashes, and went out to teed the downy little chickens, who were peeping about i he kitchen doorstone like so many aniraated balls of yellow velvet And there was butter to work ovei and to pack down in huge stone jars; and the blue muslin dress, with its multitudious little frills and flounces, to ron; and then her brother Philo came in with a linen duster that must be mended before he could set forth on his daily walk to the post office; and old Mrs. Dodge sent over -to see if Miss Kitty would make a bowi of jelly to temot the failing appetite of her con sum'ptive daughter; and the brood oi young turkeys wanaered off into the wheat-fields, and had to be coaxed home a?ain; so that it was quite dark before Kitty remembered the gooseberries for tne morrow's jam?daric with electric masses of purple-black clouds plied up against the sky, and ominous mutterings oi thunder in the air. " I do believe its going to rain," said Kitty, despairingly, "and my gooseberries are not picked yet!" And with a quick motion she caught Philo's hat and duster from the hat-rack, and sped down into the cool, secluded greenery of the garden, where a neighbor's huge pear-tree drooped over the stone-wall on one side, and the hedge of gooseberry bushes grew below. But as the green balls of sweetness rained down into her basket, she became conscious of a rustling in the pear boughs beyond, where a huge hammock swung. t ?" Some of Mrs. Peck's city boarders are there," said Kitty to herself; " but I won't notice 'em." "But she colored "celestial rosy-red" under the broad brim of her brother's Manilla hat, when she recognized the sound of Parke Cameron's low and rather languid voice. "Isitycu, Philo?" Kitty picked on, silently and expeditiously, without a word of answer. But evidently the interlocutor was not discouraged. "So you're like me," he resumed? " preferring your own society to the gay clamor of the picnic party." "Philo," said Cameron,abruptly, "do Jou suppose I should find your sister at ome, if I were to go up to the house? She avoids me so systematically that I can never get an opportunity to speak to hpr* nnrt. for the life of me, I can't tell why." The Manilla hat dropped lower than ever among the gooseberry thickets; the nervous fingers worked away with re doubled speed. Kitty Crawford wished herself anywhere cn earth just then but on that particular spot. "Do you think I should have the ghost of a chance with her, it I asked her boldly to be my wifeP" said Parke Cameron,, plunging valiantly into the heart of his subject; "for? of all the girls I evor saw, she comes nearest to my ideal of perfect womanhood, and I have learned to love her deeply and passionately! Don't, for heaven's sake, be so silent, old fellow, unless you purposely wish to discourage my suit!" he added, with something like impatience in his voice. "Tell me?have I any grounds for liope?" Kitty was trembling all over, more like a frightened blue-bird caught in a net. Was ever girl placed in such nn embarrassing predicament beforeP How she wished she had let Philo's linen duster and broad-brimmed hat alone! "Why don't you answer me?" demanded the deep voice, waxing still more impatient in its tone. And to add to Kitty's perplexities, the big drops of rain be;;an to patter inexorably down, and ji zigzag streak of lichtning; shot crosswise across the threatening sky, a zone of living-lire. " Discretion is the better part of valorr," said our little heroine to herself. Mud, catching uj> tlieunly hall-tilled ' basket of emarald fruit, she prepared for an ignominious llight. Hut Mr. Cameron hiul no notion of tliis. With a quioi movement lie sprang ^ rtiimiM from the hammock aoove, and placed himself directly across the narrow pathway, thus effectually barricading all r6tr6&t* " Old fellow!" said he, half laughing, half in earnest, "you shall not stir a step from here unless you tell me whether or not?" "I will go!" cried Kitty Crawford, bursting into hysterical tears. "You? you have no right to stop me thus!" If the thunderbolts even then muttering through the twilight sky had stricken him with their electric hands, Parke Cameron could have scarcely been more stupefied and amazed. "Miss Crawford!" he exclaimed. "Kitty, can it be possible that, this is youP?that I have committed such an awkward blunder as?" But, in the selfsame instant, he comprehended that his suit must be pleaded now or never?that a cowardly lover is never a successful one. " Kitty,' said he, still barricading the way, " I have told you frankly that I love you. You must oe equally outspoken with me." "But?but it rains!" faltered Kitty, looking wildly this way and that /or some method of escape. "I don't care if it rains a deluge!" said Parke Cameron; " I will know my fate!" " When we get up to the house," said Kittv, evasively. "Now!" insisted Cameron. " Please let me get by!" pleaded Kitty. " >iot until you decide one way or the other," said Parke. "But I have decided!" said Kitty, cruelly maltreating the buttons of Philo's linen duster in her confusion. "Speak out your decision, then, at once!" said Parke Cameron, with an ; ?n.;?nonMj that. Hnmflhow didn't dis lUipCllUUIPUVk... W?- ? please Miss Crawford at all. " I do love you," blushingly confessed Kitty?" that is, I think I do." And then the rain came down in huge cylinders of crystal, and the lightning blazed overhead, and Paike and Kitty had to run for their lives to the piazza of the old farm-house. "There!" said Kitty, "I haven't picked my gooseberries for the jam, after all." "I'll help you to-morrow,"said Parke Cameron. And, to the end of his days, he declared that gooseberry jam was his favorite conserve. An Exlraordiuarj Creature. The following account is given of a remarkable dwarf who arrived with her parents in New York on an ocean steamer a short time aco: Bridget Sughran is the daughter of John Sughran and liis wife, and was born thirtyone years ago on an island off the coast of Kerry, Ireland. Forsix months after her birth the child continued to develop as seven brothers and sisters before her had done. It is said to have been a remark tbly pretty infant. At the end of six months, however, it suddenly ceased to grow and all the intervening years of Hirt rthilri'a Kfr> hftvft witnessed no de velopment in its stature. Its head alone has grown and is now the size of the heaaof an average adult woman. Its limbs are rather more chubby than those of an average infant of six months but its skin is as pale and delicate in appearance as that of a new-born babe. Its hair is two or three inches long, but thin and line like that of a baby. All attempts at training have been unsuccessful in getting it to walk or talk or even to utter a cry. Though there is apparently no malformation of the tongue it does not give ve nt to any noise even under the influence of pain. Yet t is by no means idiotic, for it understands conversation and is keenly sensitive to remarks that may pass concerning itself. It also appreciates and remembers kindnesses it may receive, and appears to have a very good memory for faces. It eats but little, its food consisting of a very small quantity of milk with a pinch of bread. It is very good-tempered, as may be presumed, and gives its parents little trouble. For thirtyone years the parents have nursed and cherished it, never giving it over to a charitable institution, though often suffering for the necessities of life. They speak of the child as an affliction sent in kindness by trie will of God, and do not wish in any way to get rid of the burdrn. The account they give of the origin of the affliction "accords witti tne super stitien of the country. They term it an "overlook.1' A case of "overlook," they say is when some witch out of evil motive calls down calamity upon the object of its ill-will. The lather relates now on one occasion, about the sixth month of the child's ape, two women were in the house and one said to the other, "See what a beautiful child that is," and that from that lime the child ceased to grow. The father substantiates this theory of his affliction by relating an instance in which a " fairv-woman " or witch pointed to a particularly beautiful cow among a drove and immediately it fell dead. At all events he deems it an affliction from which only the pleasure ot God can free him at the proper time. The child is partly bald and has lost many of its teeth. Overworked Hearts. No organ in the body is so liable to be overworked as the heart. When every other part of the body sleeps, it keeps on its perpetual motion. Every increased effort or action demands from tlic heart more force. A man runs to catch a train and his heart beats audibly. He drinks wine, and the blood rushes through its resevoir faster than ever was intended by nature. His pulse rises after each course at dinner. A telegram arrives, and his heart knocks at his side. And wflen any one of these "excitements" is over, he is conscious of a corresponding depression?a sinking of emptiness ns it is called. The healthy action of all membeis of our frame depends upon the supply of blood received from the central fountain. When the heart's action is arrested, the stomach, whicH requires from it a large supply of blood, becomes enfeebled. The brain also waiting for the blo>d, is inactive. The heart is a very willing member, but if it be made to fetch and carry incessantly, if it be "put upon," as the unselfish member of a family often is, it undergoes a disorganization which is equivalent to its rupture. And this disorganization begins too often nowadays in the hearts of very young children. Parents know that if their sons are to succeed at any of those competitive examinations which have now become so exigent, high pressure is employed. Hence young persons are stimulated to nuprwnrt hv rewards and Dnnishments. The sight of a clever boy being trained for competition is truly a sad one. The precocious, coached-up children are never well. Their mental excitement keeps up a flush, which, like the excitement caused by strong drink in older children, looks like Health but has no relation to it; in a word, the intemperance of education is overstraining and breaking their young hearts. If in the school room some hearts are broken from mental strain, in the playground and in the gymnasium others succumb to physical strain. A Curious Disease. Under the name of narcolepsy M. Gelineau describes, in the British Medical Journal, a rare form of neurosis, characterized by au irresistible desire to sleep, sudden in its onset, lasting but a short time, and occuring at more or les3 prolonged intervals. This neurosis has some analogies with somnolence and catalensy. It was described for the first time, in 1862, by Doctor Chase, who referred it to a serious and passive congestion of the meninges and of the rain. The persons suffering from it fall asleep nny moment; their sleep lusts for a few minutes, and they then recovcr their consciousness. The patient whose case is reported by M. Gelineau fell asleep this way four or five times during his dinner, letting his knife and fork fall, and breaking off in the middle of a sentence he was uttering. Up to the present time the most varied kinds of treatment have failed to (rive any good result. We have encountered two cases of this sleepy disea-e. One was a lieutenant of cavalry in the Confederate army. Before the war be was I a dry goods merchant, and since the1 war he has returned to his ctore. His narcolepsy dates from cnildhood. He is a very fleshy man, of more than average-mental strength, and the father of several vigorous children. While selling goods in the midst of a conversation, and even while drinking a whisky toddy, we have known him to fall asleep. In a few seconds or moments he would awake, apparently unconscious that he had slept. A Confederate general of great intellect, ah enormously obese man, was the second case. If talking when t he sleep came on, these gentleman would, on waking, resume, where they had left off.?Louisville Medical News. ? ? 7ABM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Timely Farm Notea from the "Agricultural." Sowing Fall Grains.?The leading farm work in many localities is the sowing of the fall crops. One cannot expect that the best harvest will follow a careless preparation of the soil, and an . _ C Tho impeneub suwiug ui iuc dccu. young plants should get well rooted before winter sets in, and in order to insure this, the soil should be deep and mellow. Wheat requires a soil well pulverized, but compact, with fine tilth of the surface, for a seed-bed. There may be lumps on the surface of the soil, but the seed should not be surrounded by them, otherwise the plants will be very uneven, and many grains will not start at all. If the soil is lumpy, as it is in many cases, use a roller immediately after the plow, or after the harrow has been used once. This is the only proper use of the roller on fall sown fields. To roll the ground after the grain is sown is a mistake; it {rives to the surface a smooth and pleasing appearance, but it is much more inclined to crust over; besides this, the protecting coat of snow is ?ot held in winter as it would be if the surface was left rough. Besides having the soil in a proper mechanical condition, through the means mentioned above, it must be provided with a good supply of plant food. The young plants should be well fed, that is, nave aplenty of nourishment in such a condition as to be readily taken up and digested. Such food is furnished by thoroughly decomposed barn-yard manure: but when it is not to be had in sufficient quantities, some good artificial fertilizer as a superphospnate may be used with profit, j The Hessian Fly is the most trouble some upon the early sown wheat, but it makes smaller growth before winter sets j in, and so far as that goes it is a dis advantage to prow late, exuupuug uu well prepared land. A farmer of our acquaintance (in the State of New York) for many years sowed his wheat the first week in October, and his average yield has been over forty bushels per acre. He was first led to practice late sowing to avoid the ravishes of the Hessian fly, but the practice proved so satisfactory that it was continued after the fly had disappeared. His land was in high condition, and a top-dressing of fine manure was applied to give the young plants a good start. It may be better to sow late if a thorougli preparation of the soil is thereby secured. Water Furrows.?If the land is not well drained, when all else is done in the wheat'iiuld, make the necessary fur-1 rows with the plow, for carrying off the surface water during heavy rains. Seeding to Grass.?Grass seed may be sown a few weeks after the grain. Thrifty erowine; timothy will frequently retard the growth of the grain if sown as early as the wheat crop, and clover seed is best sown in the spring after or with the last snow. TuRNirs should be kept free from weeds and the soil loose and mellow. Proper thinning is important; a single root needs from nine to fifteen inches'in ' 1 ? A ? - * *? t, Ani An *?1 /?V? I WIG TOW tO grow IU lis ucr?u. v/u jliva , lands white turnips may Aill be sown and good crop expected. Beans are injured by heavy .'rains; when ready pull them and stack around the poles driven in the ground j cover the stacks with straw. In pulling leave them in rows for a time to curs, and if rain threatens they can be gathered quickly in stacks. Shocking is an important matter and should be done with care. If the stalks are ndt well set up and properly tied, the shocks fall in all directions and the husking made more difficult. Bands of rse straw, or even of willow,^may be used with advantage. Potatoes.?Early ones should be dug at once; rains will otberwise start them into growth and do much injury. The last brood of bugs should be destroyed, as it is these that furnish the early brood nexl season. It is a good plan to sort the potatoes as they are gathered, thus saving much labor in handling them afterward. Seep.?After the roots have been remoVed from the field, the sheep should be turned in that they may pick up the small, imperfect roots and the scattered leaves. This will accustom them to the change of food that must soon come. If early lambs are not desired, the rams must be kept from the ewes, or otherwise be aproned or " bratted." It is an important matter that the ewes that are to bear lambs should be well fed, and begin the winter in good condition. A little grain fed to the ewes now will do much to insure strong lambs. Cows that are giving milk should be fed liberally, and not allowed to fall off now, as they cannot be brought up acain when cold weather sets in. Some kind of feed, as bran or meal, should be used to help out the failing pastures. Corn fodder is excellent to piece out with at this season, and a patch of it should be found on every farm. It is important that the cows have a plenty of good, fresh water, especially as the herbage does not now afford the abundant juices of the spring growth. Clovek Seed.?The second crop of clover seed can be cut with the ordinary reaper. Some prefer to attach a short frame of strips of wood covered with cloth to the cutting bar of the mowing machinp, the clever being gathered upon the cloth and raked oft. The straw and chaff are useless for hay, and need not be preserved from the weather. They may be used for litter in the barnyard or stable. Machinery.?Harvesting and other farm machinery that is to be used no more for this season should *be cleaned and stored away. The bright parts may bo kept from rusting by applying a mixture made by melting together one pound of fresh lard ana a lump of resin the size of a hen's egg, stirring aa they cool. The bearings should be well wiped, and afterward given a thin coat of castor-oil. A Romantic Story. Loring, the Boston bookseller, tells a very romantic story as follows: "At one time I had prepared boxes of fancy paper with a fancy initial or pet name embossed in it, and put this up at one dollar a box, and advertised it widely. One day I had an order irom California from a Mis3 Susie . The box was done up, addressed to her and lay about here, when a young Englishman ame in and wanted to write a letter. 1 gave him the material and a place, when his eye caught the address on this box. "4 Have you the order that came for that box of paper P' he asked. "'Yes,' I replied, 4'tis about somewhere.' ' * 'Would you mind sending it up to my hotelP If it is what I think, I suall leave for California to-night.' " I found it and spnt it around and heard no more about it for perhaps three months, when one day the young man, with a lady on his arm walked in. ' Mr. Loring, I want to present you to my wife, he said. 4 We could not leave this country till we had thanked you for your part in bringing us together.' The denouement was quite a romance. The young man was the son of an aristocratic family and the girl the daughter of the gardener. Bufc love levels all distinctions, and the young man felt this girl to be the chofen com' panion of his life. To break off the attachment his father had sen', him to the continent and dispatched the gardener and his pretty daughter to America, where the young man had followed them, ignorant of their address, and at last finding it through the chance of a box of paper." American Business Enterprise?. The Boston Transcript relates the following in illustration of American business enterprise: In some of the smaller towns there are business establishments whose travelers make journeys as extensive as any undertaken by the drummers of New York. Connecticut men arc among the leaders in seeking new markets for their productions. Some of the large manufacturers of tools, machinery, hardware and other kinds of goods in that Slate, send men to South America, Europe and elsewhere, in the same matter-nl-fact manner that smaller houses might send to Syracuse or Canajoharie. A tirm of carriage manufacturers in New Haven sends a mart around the world. They sell many carriages in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. On his last trip the traveler drummed the trade up the Red Sea, and along the south shore of the Mediterranean. He sold some carriages in Egypt, but none in the couutries to tbe westward, where British and continental manufacturers yet retain command of the m irket. On his next trip he will again uickle tie carriage buyers of that region. He overcame British opposition in South Africa, and expects to accomplish the same result in North Africa. v- X f- V ' . . . w . FASTEST MILE ON RECORD.

Pres dent Alexander Harison announc? from tbe judge's stand, "St. Juli< against time." A slight ripple of a plause greeted St. Jufien. Mr. Hick( jogged him up from the lower distan stand and nodded for the word. Tb heat was only to warm the horse for tl second atteirpt. St. Julien trott* around on his usual steady gait witho' a break. When the time was announce as 2:24 there arose a slight outburst laughter. Fifty minutes later Hick< was seen in his" little brown coat, wi! his tight-fitting black caponhishea seated behind the four-footed wonde Jogging easily past the stand he turn< about a furlong down the stretch, ai came up for a start. The movement St. Julien did not suit him. so he we by without nodding for the word. E turning to the same starting point, ? Julien came up at a fast gait, ai Hickok nodded for the word. The wo was given, and away went the horse < a mile that will become historical, thousand watches were held on t horse and a thousand " nows" to no the time as St. Julien passed each qua ter pole were the only sounds heai during the mile. Trotting on the lev St. Julien left the quarter pole behir in 325 seconds, fast and safe enough 1 beat tbe record. On he -dashed to t half with thousands of eyes watchii his lightning steps, which never falter nor broke. Leaving the half-mile pc behind in 1:05, St. Julien reached t three-quarter Dole in 1:3 J.i. Horsem now saw that there was a strong pro ability that he would beat the Rochesl record of 2:113. With quickened ej they watched every stride. When i Julien turned for the straight finish i the last quarter a large scraper, witl; i brush behind it, drawn oy two norsi ! came toward him on tjie outer side the track. The sight of the scrap seemed to lessen the speed of the hoi slightly as he passed it. He came on a fast step, however, when anotb danger threatened him. Somebody h dropped, either purposely or by ac dent, half a dozen white sheets ot pap on the track, close to tne inner ra within fifty yards of the finish. Tu men who saw the paper wonder whether the horse would shy and bre in his tremendous effort. When passed the point he swerved and sts gered slightly. Hickok steadied hi owever. and, bearing half way o\ St. Julien's back, shook him up, rattl the lines, and encouraged the gai horse to finish his great ti against time. When he rushed unc the wire the thousand watches w< stopped, and the great crowd push forward to the judges' stand. 0. glance at the judges showed that < Time had been beaten again. Th were shaking hands, throwing up th arms in deligbt and making other jc ous demonstrations. Then a roar beg to risfi from the ten thousand watchi for official time. President Harbis n?or?noH to t.he frnnt of the stand ar UlVppvv* looking down upon the mass of peoi below him, announced in a clear, lo voice: "Gentlemen?St. Julien wins the h< and the race against time." The board was then displayed, sho' ing St. Julien 2:11J. The bestrecc had been beaten by half a second a half a second amounts to a great deal a trot. A scene of wild and repeal cheering followed. When the tumuli had subsided. Pr ident Harbison made a little speech. . said that " the terms upon which A Uickok had agreed to trot St. Juli against the record were S2.500, but af their sore disappointment and the gra performance oi St. Julien, the assoc tion would present Mr. Hickok with additional $500." Another storm of ? plause followed this announcement. The official time as given by t judges was: Quarter, 323; half, 1:1 three-quarters, 1:38|; mile, 2:11$. J John H. Turner, the experienced hor man from Philadelphia, timed St. Juli in the reporters' stand. His time tall: with the judges1. Many other care timers conceded that the difference, any, was too slight to affect the reco: The Etiqnelte of Shoes. The custom of removine boots Burmah is not so much an article etiquette observed by equals to equ as an ingenious device to exalt < monarch of the Golden Foot and < grade his subjects, and strangers, t before him. It is carried further Mandalay than at any other Asia court. If a European meets the kin palanquin in the streets of the city h< expected to stop then and there a divest himself of his boots. Amomex hesitation to comply with this degr; ins and uncomfortable custom has "ofi entailed very serious consequences the foreigner; and our diplomatic di culties with the Burmese court lit been considerably intensified at difi times, owing to the insistance of I lord chamberlain at Ava or Manda' that our envoy should take his boots < and the reluctance of our proud a diffident representatives to appear Eublic in their stockings. The Briti: owever, are not by any means the 01 people whose feelings have been hurt this unpleasant discourtesy; and Asiat as well as European, ambassadors hs been in the most ancient times 8' jected to the inconvenience.

They ought to ha known better, for at Pekin such cond; would have been considered the heig of bad manners; and, as far as tii were concerned, their infraction of Bi mese etiquette had a very unpleass ending. They were not allowed twice insult, the lord of all the white e phants, but were waylaid in a qu part of Amarapoora, and had th throats cut, a summary mode of pi ceeding which brought an army up Burmah from the Flowery Land. The habit of removing the outer sL before entering an inner apartment of Oriental house is a great deal more e: barrassing to t.he European than it is the native.

The first intimation ol ( he disaster was received when portions ot the ] teamship's mail and several corpses floated ( shore on the Florida coast. The positive :nowledge that the steamer had toondered 1 ?as afterwards obtainod lrom the lip* of thir- j een survivors, eu;ht sailors and three passen- f ;ers, who confirmed the rumors ot the vee- I el's loss. There were aboat 80 persons j in board the steamer?28 ot these being pasengera and the rest comprising the officer* ] ,nd crow. Among the passeneers was Major jeneral Alfred A. Torbert, a Federal cavalry ifflcer and intimate triend ot Genevals Grant ind Hancoclt, and who has been United States onsul at Paris and Havana and minister at Central America. The story ot the disaster 1 is told in the first dispatches to the 'New 1 fork Herald, is as lollows: , On Saturday afternoon the steamer encoun- I iered a strong gale, which soon increased in i nry. The sea ran very high and the Oity of 1 Tera Cruz labored heavily bat sturdily for lome hoars. Every effort was made to keep ler beiore the wind, bat it was found necea- j iary at one o'clock on Sunday morning to ; hrow oat a drag to keep her head about. I?his secured the desired resalt lor the time 1 >eing, bat the gale had now grown to a hurri- ! ame and immense waves began breaking over .he doomed steamer. Each succeeding wave tore away pieces of ler upper works until her deck was finally iwept clear, even the rigging being torn and ' ibattered. The drajfceaaed to fnlflll iu fupcions, and as the seas roee over her bows and lelnged her decks they soon reached the turlaoes and extinguished the fires, the hatches rnving been torn from their tastenings by the 1 allows. | The fires being out soon pat a stop to tbe engines, and the City ot Vera Crnz lay at the mercy ol the waves and storm. Not even the lonkey pump could be worked to relieve the ' ressel of the water she was rapidly moUng jn :er hold. In this extremity Captain Van Sice ordered his men to throw overboard tbe leek load, a task that had been begun about midnight. Bat the sea was too heavy to permit the crew carrying oat their captain's jrders, for while thus engaged several of thr men were carried off their teet by incoming seas and many of them washed overboard. Captain Van Sioe and his officers acted courageously in the performance of their several duties, bat were one by one washed overboard Irom their stations as the steamer labored in Lhe trough of the sea. As near as can b? ucertained, the captain perished folly an hooi before the vessel finally snooombed, and wber nearly all tho hands were lost. The ten remaining alive on board now saw that then was no hope, so they took to the Life preservers, the lifeboats having already disappeared; in fact, every boat and Life rait was stove is when the top hamper ?rent by the board. Ihe sailors and the ?. jaengers then seized fragments of spars, stateroom doors or any other movable article that would float, and awaited the end all knew to be at hand. The surviving sailors state that the vessel was about thirty miles off shore at this time, the hurricane being one of terrible fury. By tbe time the shipwrecked men and women had squipped themselves with their impromptu buoys the final catastrophe occurred, it being then, as already stated, about half-past five A. u. With one awful and tremendous larch the steamer suddenly sank into the ocean, the jwirl carrying down many ot the living. 01 tbe seventy souls on board before the storm began only thirteen have rcached the land alive. These thirteen were all mem, three of them passengers, eight deck hands, one engineer and one oiler. They were all in the water, buffeted by a tempestuous sea, for from twenty-tour to twenty-six hours, and there is no doubt that but lor this ordeal many more would have been saved, for there can be but little doubt that several perished after the foundering of the steamer through exhaustion. Such is the story of tho wreck, which, though brief, clearly tells the tale.

A Duck as a Treat Fisher. As a gentleman was fishing in a milllam below Winchester, Va., he accihntally threw his line across a strong vhite duck, which, snddenly turning ound, twisted the leader around her ! iwn neck, and fixed the hook of the | Iropper-fly in her breast. Thus en- ] angled and hooked, she soon broke off j lie leader above the dropper, and sailed . lown the stream with the end of the fly < railing behind her. She had not pro- eeded far before a trout, of about a iound and a half, took the fly effecual ly. Then began a struggle as extrariinary as ever was witnessed?a duck t the dropper and a large trout at the nd of the fly. Whenever the trout ex- j rted itself, the terror of the duck was , ery conspicuous; it fluttered its wings nd dragged the fish. When the trout 1 ?as more quiet the duck evidently gave ray, and suffered herself to be drawn inder some bushes, where the shortness f the leader did not allow the trout to helter herself. The duck's head was requently drawn under water. By hance, however, the leader got across ? branch which hung downward into be water; and the duck, taking ad vanigc of the purchase which this gave er, dragged her opponent from his hole nd obliged him to show his head above , rater. Then it became a contest of life ? nd death. The trout was in its last J gonies, and the duck in a very weak ? tate, when the leader broke and suf- jj ;red them to depart their own way.? ? hiladelphia Ledger. 1 The oldest friends are to-day tho stauncheat iends of Dr. Bull's Coagk Syrnp.
