FABM NOTES.
To clear moss from fruit trees, it is
said that nothing is better than earbolio
soap and lye. Make common lye of
-wood ashes, not strong, and add half a
pound of carbolic soap to a three-gallon
pail of boiling lye. Apply hot with a
swab to old trees. It has been naed
with entire success on apple, pear,
peach and cherry trees, destroying
every particle of moss it touches.
A green salted hide is understood to
be thoroughly cured, free from salt,
dirt, meat, horns, tail, bones and sinews,
and before being weighed all such sub
stances are removed, or a proper deduc
tion is made from the weight, and when
the head skin hangs to the hide by a
narrow strip, it is cut off before weigh
ing. To cleanse casks or ban-els S. H.
Sherman says the simplest, quickest
and most effectual method is to burn a
handful of straw in the cask, followed
by washing with scalding water. The
most rancid pork barrel may be made
perfectly sweet in a very short time by
this method. If anything will cleanse
a cask that has contained oil, fire will
do it ; but even, this might fail where
the oil has penetrated the wood.
Aashes, leached or nnleached, are ex
cellent if applied, to apple, pear or
peach trees. If nnleached, we do not
advise applying them close to the body,
though there is little danger they will
harm the tree. It should be remem
bered, however, that Buch application
is just as useful to the tree if made
anywhere within the area covered by
the small branches as if applied close
about the body.
Careful estimates prove that a horse
requires for his sustenance the produce
of eight times as much land as would
furnish food for a man.
An English farmer compares the con
duct of those who cultivate only the
surface of their farms to the unwisdom
of the owner of a coal mine, who, hav
ing six seams of coal, only works the
upper one, -and neglects those lower
down.
It is said that the disagreeable click
ing noise caused by overreaching in
horses will be prevented if the black
smith in shoeing cuts off the toe or
crust of the shell of the hoofs on the
fore feet instead of on the hind feet, as
is the frequent practice.
There are diseases to which cows are
subject which do not lessen the flow of
milk for some time ; yet this secretion
is seriously affected in quality and .is
dangerous to use, and cases are on
record where the milk of a sick cow is
absolutely poisonous, and has caused
death to many children.
- PRACTICAL RECEIPTS.
Buckwheat Cakes. Sift together one
quart of buokwheat flour and a teacup
f ul of cornmeaL In cool weather make
up a moderately thin batter with luke
warm sweet milk; salt to taste. In
warm weather it is best to use water ;
the milk would sour. Add half a tum
blerful of good lively yeast (hop yeast
is the best for buckwheat) ; make it up
in a jar, covering closely, at nine o'clock
at night. The next morning beat tkree
e?g3 ; let it set fifteen or twenty minutes ;
just before frying stir in a teaspoonful
f soda, first sprinkling it over the bat
ter. Soda is unnecessary if the batter
is perfectly sweet. ' Eggs are hot essen
tial, but are an improvement. A mix
ture of four parts of buckwheat, two of
Graham and one of Indian, makes a
more healthy cake, and more spongy.
Chow-chow. Take a quarter of a
peck of green tomatoes and ' the same
quanity each of pickling beans and
white onions, one dozen each of cucum
bers and green peppers, one head of
cabbage. Season to the taste with mus
tard, celery-seed and salt. Pour over
these the best cider vinegar, "sufficient
to cover. Boil slowly for two hours,
continually stirring, and add while hot
two tablespoonfuls of the finest, salid
oil.
Indian Griddle-cakes. Three hand
f uls of Indian meal (yellow and white
mixed), one teaspoon (level full) of soda,
one teaspoonful of salt, four of sugar ;
pour on boiling water, stirring briskly
to the thickness of stiff mush ; pour on
cold milk till it is as thick as gruel,-then
add sifted flour to the consistency of
griddle-cakes, thick or thin as prefer
red. They can be varied by the addi
tion of one or two eggs beaten and add
ed last.
A Farmer's Club.
Mr. Gorham, of Whiteside, gives a
statement of his experience with a
Farmers' Club which had saved its
members over $2,000 by buying direct
from the manufacturers. They save
about $10 on each plow, $30 on reapers,
$18 on corn-planters, $20 on sowing
machines. Wheat they sold directly to
the miller last season. They got sev
eral cents more a hundred for pork than
if they had not' had an organization.
They shipped butter, eggs, etc., and got
better prices for them. They meet
recrularlv once a month. Th nffioem
jet no salary, except the purchasing
agent, wno naa tnree per cent, on all
purchases. Mr. Prickett related that
in his county a club wanted to buy
from a manufacturer. He refused, un
less iney wouia nuy more than the
agent sold. ; The club let bin alone,
and now he had come to crave the cus
tom of the members. He and others
are making propositions, and offering
to deduct 26 per cent, from their retail
price.
HOW TO KEEP MEAT.
Meat is much better for family use
when at least one week old in cold
weather. The English method for
keeping -meat for some time has great
merit. Experts say hang up a quarter
of meat with the cut end up, being the
reverse of the usual way, by the leg,
and the juice will remain in the meat,
and not run to the cut arid dry up by
evaporation.' It is worth a trial, and
when made will be continued.
Jo Indian Outbreak Probable.
Since the beginning of the Modoc
war interested parties in Oregon have
sought to give currency to a belief that
the Indians of that State and of Wash
ington Territory threaten trouble to the
whites in those sections. A representa
tive of the San Francisco Chronicle had
a conversation with an Indian trader
just from Washington Territory, and
who claims to be thoroughly acquainted
with the condition, character, and pres
ent feeling towards the whites of the
Indians concerned. He says that from
personal observation and knowledge, at
the time of his departure from home on
December . 17, everything was quiet
among the tribes, and that there was
not the slightest indication of. any hos
tile feeling against the whites or of an
intended outbreak. Throughout tho.
route on his journey to San Francisco
he found the same peaceable disposition
manifested. The Indians in Oregon
and Washington Territory live by
hunting and fishing, and the married
men among (hem cultivate small gar
dens. . The informant also says that
they submit all their internecine dis
cords to whites whom they respect, and
submit to their decisions. . Under these
circumstances it would be well to ac
cept all stories of threatened outbreaks
among these Indians with grains of
allowance.
As to the probable influence of the
recent-severe weather on the trees in
the fruit belts of Michigan and South
ern Illinois generally, it may be said
that the yield will be np to the average,
both in quality and quantity.
The Modoc Side of the Question.
Our California exchanges come to us
filled with additional details of the re
cent battle between the Modocs and the
United States troops and volunteers.
In addition to the particulars of this
engagement and the participants
therein all concur in admitting that the
Modocs fought with extraordinary cour
age many facts interesting in view of
the proportions that the war has as
sumed are given concerning the tribe
itself, its history and condition. Not a
few have come forward to champion the
cause of the Modocs, and to proclaim
the wrongs that have led them to their
present desperate stand against the
United States Government and the
people of California and Oregon. The
Modocs, only a handful now, and a pit
iful remnant of their former proud host,
have ever been a warlike tribe, though
they have been true to their treaty stip
ulations and have for many years been
friendly and peaoeable in their dealings
with their white neighbors. Their de
privation of their " tule lands " large
marshes abounding in fish, beaver, ot
ter, and wild fowl, and whose advanta
ges excited the cupidity of the whiteB
was the cause of their present hostile
attitude.
A physician who has had twenty-two
years' acquaintance with the affairs
of Siskiyou County, where their lands
are situated, and who has had extensive
practice among them, writes to the San
Francisco Chronicle that the Modocs
are of stature, appearance, and intelli
gence, like whites; that many of their
women have been married to men of
business in that neighborhood, and that
their children hare been raised, edu
cated, and married in and about Yreka.
He further states that in the course of
his practice as a physician in the house
holds presided over by these Indian
wives, he has ever found " as much con
venience for the' administration of med
icines the sugar-bowl, the spoon and
the cup, the clean bed, and the towel
as he has found elsewhere, and far su
perior to many whites called citizens."
A sympathizing editor writing of them,
and apparently well versed in their his
tory, speaks of Captain Jack and his
devoted followers as " really and truly
heroes, as sublime in their heroism as
Leonidas and his. Spartan band, and
equally deserving of immortalization in
song and story," and contrasts their
struggle for existence with the develop
ments of this degenerate age of sham
and shoddy, of Credit Mobiiier, and
Congressional corruption. " The Mo
docs," he says, "are a short-haired
tribe. By long contact with the whites
they have become partially civilized.
rney speaK Hingusn as well as some of
their white neighbors, and are as well
behaved as average white men." Nor
have they failed to exhibit evidences of
magnanimity which justify the opinion
expressed of them; for, says the writer,
when the war was forced upon them
they did not strike without warning.
" They made no secret of their purpose
to resist any forcible attempt to remove
them, and also to retaliate upon white
settlers. When they attacked the lat
ter they let the women and children 'go
unharmed, and even without insult a
wonderful exhibition of magnanimity
considering the light in which their own
women have been regarded, and the
manner in which they have been treated
by white men."
These are some of the glimpses of the
Modoc side f the question which come
from California.
What Beecher Thinks of Death.
I have known morbid people to spec
ulate as to how they were groins: to look
in their coffins. I have known crown
people who were full of imagination
about the grave. Death is not only
heathenish, but barbarous in their
thought.
I never think of dying except with
pleasure, as I would of translation. To
me the mere passing through is noth
ing; it may be a little longer or a little
shorter. I have always hoped it would
be very short. I may horrify some
people by saying it, but I pray God
will give me sudden and instantaneous
death. I would rather die by being
struck by lightning than die with con
sumption. If it be God's will that I
should become old and toftling and
grow feebler and feebler before I die I
am willing that it should be so, but if
I were left to my choice I should like to
break off short and die a strong man, in
the middle of battle; but that is for
God to decide, and not for me.
Dying to me is not at all the humil
iation of the body. It is the exaltation
of the spirit. It is the emergence of
the 'soul from this outward form. It is
our development out of this sphere into
a higher one. It is not the ushering of
men into a state of weakness and gloom.
It is the inauguration of a condition of
power and joy. It is the moving of the
soul in the direction of amplitude and
glory. It is the endowing of the soul
with the riches of immortal life in its
highest .forms and in its greatest ben-
enoences.
I do not know that a nightingale sit
ting in the twilight and singing with all
its iittie soui, nas me least idea tnattne
whole neighborhood is charmed with
its song; but I can conceive that a soul
may be m such a blessed state of expe
rience that it may, like a nightinsale.
charm the wide circles in heaven with
inspiring music.
The Anostle did not care to ha nn.
clothed; he did not care to get rid of
his burden, except by overcoming it
mrougn uivme grace; Dut ne desired to
be clothed upon. He desired a better
manhood spiritual manhood, heavenly
manhood. He did not take a gloomy
view of suffering and death. Some men
think of dying. I do not think of any
thing black or smirching when I think
about death. I think of gold and pre
cious stones and flashing wings. Some
men think ef an iron gate with an ugly,
grim jailer, who, with a big key, that is
not rusty, turns it often. I think of a
" pearly gate," as Milton calls it, which
turns on golden hinges. Some men
think of dying as they think of disease.
I think of dying as the flight of the
bird higher and higher into the purer
ether.
Now, it seems to me that no thought
of death is valid or right which does not
leave you stronger, more joyous, hap
pier. I am not going to die downward.
I am not going to die toward hell. I
mean, by the grace of God, to die to
ward heaven. And I am going to think
of it so as to take some comfort of it
beforehand. I am going to shake the
tree of Jife so that if I do not get the
golden fruit here, some leaves shall
drop down for the healing of my heart.
II. W. Beecher.
His Speculation. The late Mr. Mor
rison, one of the richest men in Eng
land, in early life entered a dry goods
warehouse, where he contrived to secure
the affections of his employer's daugh
ter. They were married, and he was
taken into the business, to which he
ultimately succeeded. One great stroke
he made was buying np all the crape in
England, in anticipation of the death of
the Princess Charlotte of Wales. This
lucky hit is supposed to have put a
very large sum of money into his pock
et. He invested a large portion of his
enormous wealth in real estate, and be
came one of the greatest landlords in
the United Kingdom.
One of the most singular of the nu
merous products of California is fig
brandy. From seven trees there were
produced last year two hundred pounds
of dried figs and twenty-five gallons of
brandy. The brandy was sold at $5 a
gallon and the dried figs for twenty-five
cents a pound.
A Singular People.
A recent traveler describes a state of
society among a singular people, which
amusingly supposes that it is both civ
ilized and humane. These people, he
ays, especially pride themselves upon
their superiority to all others, and upon
their triumphs in science and what they
call modern improvement. Captain
Gulliver does not seem to have reached
them in his travels, although it is said
that Dean Swift himself hoped at one
time to be sent out as a bishop among
them; and it would appear that they
are sadly in need of bishops or some
other truly humanizing influence, for
the traveler's faithful pictures of their
condition show a situation which should
lead the Board of Foreign Missions to
lose no time in sending out missionary
reinforcements. There are two new
and striking illustrations of the situa
tion of these people, who have not, like
the Houyhnhums, the faces of animals;
but what they may have for hearts, as
the traveler aptly remarks, " Mercy only
knows."
It is one of their customs to take a
man who has killed another and stran
gle him with a rope. They pique them
selves on their science, while they re
sort to the most brutal and shocking
method of suffocation. The races whom
this people denounce as semi-barbarous
kill their criminals with fatal certainty,
and with no other shock than that
which necessarily arises from a violent
death. This nation of Mgn pretension
until recently made the occasion of
caoital execution a public festival, but
now it has changed its custom, and is
sues invitations to the strangling to a
select party only. - Our adventurous
traveler, who congratulates himself
upon having escaped safely from their
shores, says that but a month or two
since he was present at one of these ter
rible scenes, and that the wretch who
suffered, instead of being destroyed at
once, was two or three times swung up
by the neck before his life was extinct,
while the invited guests, mad with the
fiery liquor which is the popular drink
of the country, shouted and swore in a
frenzy of glee, so that the ferocity of
the throng in the old Coliseum when
gladiators slaughtered each other, or
of the Spanish crowds at a bull fight
when the animal disembowels the man,
was tame and spiritless in the compari
son. It is but just to these people to
say, says the traveler, that some of
them are shocked by this traditional
custom, and protest against the bung
ling horrors of such scenes. But they
are derided as milksops and sentimen
tal fools who reserve all their sympa
thies for poor, dear murderers. And
such is the sensitiveness of this heroic
people that they are more afraid of a
sneer than of an argument. J! or tliere
are men among them who put an enor
mous speaking trumpet to their mouths,
fill it with their own wind and then call
its blast public opinion.
This latest traveler also describes an
other fact about this singular people
which to us, who are truly civilized,
seems absolutely incredible. He says
that in their cities they build enormous
buildings called hotels, which nsn to a
great height and are filled with stran
gers who happen to be in the town, who
are lodged in little cells arranged upon
corridors, so that the whole resembles
a honeycomb. These structures are
built of solid material in the lower sto
ries, from which escape is always easy
should a fire break out, and which can
readily be flooded with water. But the
higher parts are constructed of lighter
and more inflammable stuffs, which,
should they take fire, are beyond the
reach of water, and the higher you go,
escape in case of danger is more and
more uncertain.
In countries of a low civilization, of
course, such lofty buildings would
either be really fireproof, or they would
be so amply provided with means of es
cape that there would be the same feel
ing of security upon the roof as in the
lowest rooms. But our traveler says that
in one of the largest and most renown-.
ed of these buildings there was a room
in the very roof, beyond the reach of
water, and accessible only by a wooden
staircase. The passage in which it was
built was, of course, a huge roaring
draught the moment a fire began below,
There were windows in the room -covered
with iron netting, which could not
be broken. One night during his stay
in the country a fare began near the
staircase, and swept roaring up to the
roof, and eleven poor women, servants
of the great house, sleeping in that
cruel room, were caught, without chance
of succor, and so, God help them! per-
lslied in inconceivable agony.
As the traveler remarks, this is a kind
of catastrophe which is simply unneces
sary. An honest and efficient regard
for human life would make it absolute
ly impossible. But, he adds, there is
something ghastly in the fact that a
people which permits such needless
human slaughter disdains, with appa
rent sincerity, other times and coun
tries, and actually plumes itself upon
its civilization and knowledge. To us
who are truly civilized and humane, and
full of all wisdom, the tales of such a
traveler, if we can really believe them,
bring only a mingled gratitude and
Eity. " Mamma," said the good little
oy, whose toes were peeping out of his
shoes, "what do the poor children do
who are out at elbows ?" Editor's Easy

The Lava of Vesuvius.
The condition of the lava of the re
cent eruption is thus described by a
writer in Nature. At first the whole
surface of the lava-streams seems to ex
hale steam and hydrochloric acid, and
the atmosphere is filled with a disa
greeable odor which makes breathing
uncomfortable. But very quickly the
exhalations are localized around the
little centers of fire, whose activity con
tinues for many months, and emana
tions from whiah are gradually modi
fied. Thus, as seen from Naples at the
time of the visit, the whole of the lava
appeared to.be smoking, and it was pos
sible clearly to distinguish the tracks
of the whitish vapors which wandered
over the surface; but close at hand
there was nothing to be seen but the
fumaroles, between each of which there
is plenty of space. The gas and the hot
vapors which the lava emits are charged
with numerous substances, and become
the source of mineral deposits which fill
the tourist with wonder. One of the
most curious phenomena observed is
the power of the burning lava to retain
an enormous quantity of water and salt,
which it does not allow to escape until
it begins to cool. The formation of
salt is shown generally over the whole
stretch of lava emitted in 1872. Soon
after the surface cools it is covered with
a light crust of salt, which forms in
similar flowery patterns on the beds of
cinders that cover the plains, the cin-r
ders themselves emitting everywhere
hydrochloric acid. The first showers of
rain caused this deposit to disappear
rapidly, and there remained on the 12th
of May only scanty traces, except on the
lower surface of the blocks, where the
rain had not the power to dissolve it.
But the salt continued to be deposited
in the vents, from which were detached
beautiful crystals and graceful concre
tions; it continued also to be formed
upon the great deposits of cinders on
the cone of Vesuvius, and even on May
19th the summit of the mountain, as
seen from the Observatory, appeared,
from this cause, as if sprinkled with
snow.

Grave Yard Pictures.
As I was passing along, one of the
west-side avenues the other afternoon,
says a New -York magazine writer, my
way. was obstructed by some workmen
who were carrying boxes , from an open
lot and piling them in a cart which had
A it i mi
been backed up against me curD. xne
boxes were of unpainted pine, oblong,
and of various sizes each with a num
ber chalked upon it. I soon found out
what was happening. The contents of
an old city graveyard were ueing re
moved to an out-of-town cemetery, to
make room for a row of new brick
stores. The graves belonged to a con
gregation of early German settlers,
whose great grandchildren perpetuated
the ancient associations of church and
country, and had found ample room,
far from the impertinence of improve
ment, where they might be gathered to
their fathers or, at least, wnero tneir
fathers might be gathered to them.
The mourners did not go about the
streets; there was not a wet eye any
where; not so much as a handkerchief.
No not even the sable, squeak-soled
undertaker, to give that air of solemn
decency to the occasion in its presence
dreadful, but in its unused absence
more awful still. And yet it was the
saddest funeral that ever I saw.
Yes. leather-faced, jovial workmen
hustling your pine boxes over the side
walk; yes, red-cheeked girl3 and boys
peering between the fence-pailingswith
eyes of wonder; yes, twittering snow
birds; yes, great hurrying procession of
people, with hearts full of Christmas or
the devil; yes, dreamy loiterer this is
what it all comes to! You shall have
your day to be wept over and honored,
dead; your one, own, only funeral: the
closed blinds; the decorous little bi
colored banner of woe . at the door
knob; the rows of strange chairs in the
parlor; the scent of flowers; the hushed
crowd: the tremulous prayer: the low
voice of the singers; the tears; the
stifled sobs; the sudden, lieart-oroKen
out-cry; the hearse; the dust-to-dust.
But the big world will move n in its
way; aye the little world that was all
the world to you, it also will move on.
Not without a difference, surely; for to
some others it will never again be the
same world. Still, it will move on. The
living will not forget you O, no! Your
image in some nearts may grow aim
dimmer, but in others it will be ever
fresh and bright and beautiful. " The
living!" but what about the dead! Is
there remembrance in tne tomb i uajs
and nights, and summers and winters,
new moons and old moons, cloud and
sunshine the old unending round
and some idle dreamer may stop a mo
ment to wonder what sort of a mortal it
was that has come to be a ruckle f
bones in box No. one hundred and
eleven.
With these thoughts came another
thought which is quite apt to follow
such a sort of self-consciousness,
rather, that separates a man from his
fellows, a saying to one s sell tnese
people are all mistaken, insanely busy
about matters of no earthly or heavenly
consequence, scampering to and Iro on
fools' errands; excited about nothing;
it is every bit vanity and vexation of
spirit. I had the feeling of one who
looks at a play from behind the scenes,
and smiles to himself at his friends in
the parquet who. seem to have forgotten
that they are only at a show. Why! he
knows that Ophelia's flowers are made
of tissue paper; and that Hamlet's
calves are stuffed with sawdust; he can
lay his hand upon the absurd little
spectacled prompter whose sharp whis
pers from the wings are translated on
the stage into tender murmurings or
passionate appeals.
He knows and sees this but what
does he know of the master-mind that
informs all ? what does he see of the
miffhtv truth in untruth; the subtle,
resulting beauty that thrills the souls
of those who lend themselves freely to
the magnificent illusion? He and he
alone is the fool!
So with this last figure I put to flight
that old haunting demon of mine the
demon of the doctrine of mdiflerence
the philosophy that teaches the unre
alitv of things temporal. O the false
hood of it! O the farce indeed it would
make of life!
Jocko's Jokes Not Appreciated".
Thomas Findley, importer of blooded
fowls and proprietor of a saloon in San
Francisco, a local paper says, recently
conceived the idea of augmenting the
stock of curiosities in. his saloon by the
addition "of two large and intelligent
monkeys. The animals arrived on the
last steamer from the Orient. The cus
tomers watched the antics of the two
strangers with eager interest, dubbed
them Jim and-"Susie, and voted Jim a
fellow of infinite jest, and the monkeys
scampered to and fro the while and chat
tered merrily. Susie went to bed at a
reasonable hour, and did not object to
being locked in her cage, but Jim would
not tolerate the advance of any one.
when near his cage, and was left roost
ing over a door when the time for clos
ing the saloon arrived. Next morning
tne bar keeper opened the door, glanced
around, saw something flying through
the air, and dodged his head just in
time to escape a sound blow. He peeped
into the window and saw Jim perched
on a tall ale cask, with a pile of boxes
around him, and looking like an enraged
gorilla, evidently waiting for the reap
pearance of the bar keeper's head. Now
the bar keeper, a man of inflexible will
and a very Sampson in physical power,
is not a person who cares to risk his life
unnecessarily, and therefore he rein
forced his ranks and sought to overawe
Jim. The monkey was evidently deter
mined not to yield without a struggle,
for he gathered all the available soda
bottles and boxes and chunks of wood
about his stronghold, and, upon the ad
vance of the bar keeper and his com
mand, nunea nis missiles toward tne
enemy with great rapidity and precision,
and as long as his ammunition held out
he could not be dislodged. Finally Jim
was brushed with a club, and persuaded
to keep quiet. The strong smell o!
liquor caused the bar keeper to look
around with anxiety, and well he might.
Jim had emptied whiskey and brandy
upon the floor, treated Susie to whiskey
until she succumbed to its effects and
was in a beastly state of intoxication,
and had filled all the bottles with saw
dust, the damage amounting to $40.

chance of getting out. There proved
to be very little -smoke and no fire of

Extraordinary Cures. We have
read many accounts of - extraordinary
cures by Dn. Walkeb's California
Vinegar Bitters, which have seemed
incredible. We are inclined to believe
them, as many of those who vouch for
them are persons whose veracity we can
guarantee. The newspapers teem with
testimonials of this character, and there
is an air of praticularity and of truth
about them which cannot be resisted.
One manifest superiority the "Vinegar
Bitters possesses over other Alterative
and Tonic preparations. It contains
none of the burning fluids with which
most advertised Bitters are impregnat
ed. It cannot create fever. Instead of
clouding the brain, it clears it if cloud
ed. It is well known that Alcohol, even
of the purest description, weakens and
untones the stomach instead of bracing
it, and is, therefore, poison in cases of
Indigestion. Fancy, then, what must
be the effect of the cheap Eire-water
employed m making ordinary Hitters
and Tinctures, on the weakened and in
flamed digestive organs. Vinegar Bit
ters, on the other hand, soothes the
stomach while it increases the appetite
and relaxes the bowels. Dr. Walker is
a regular physician, and his remedies
have just as much authority as any
standard remedies of tlie faculty, vve
believe they are destined to become a
household medicine. Com.

Can any Medicine do More l
The art of changing the base metals Into gold has
not been discovered, but the nappy results of a dis
covery Infinitely more Important are familiar to the
community, and have been so for the past twenty
years. To exchange debility for visor, sickness for
health, apathy for energy, gloom for cheerfulness
is a much more desirable operation than to trans
mute lead into the root of all evil. And this is what
Hostettor's Stomach Bitters accomplish, and have
been accomplishing daily, ever since their intro
duction. Dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous affec
tions, constipation, intermittent fevers, rheuma
tism, sick headache and general debility are no
longer the bug-bears that they were a fifth of a cen
tury ago. The Bitters taken as a protective modi-
cine, prevent them, and taken as a remedy enres
them, and the people know it. Hence their over
shadowing reputation and enormous sale. The
fume of the great vegetable specific is ever on the
march, and at a pace that no competitor can live.
It is to-day the foremost medicine of its class in the
civilized world. Every now and then attempts
are made to rival it, and sometimes a nostrum con
cocted in the idle hope of sharing its popularity,
has a brief spurt of apparent success. Bnt it is all
illusion. One by one they sink like stones in the
sea, while thb greot tonic, whose celebrity has
been the cause of these blind ventures, continues
to ride on the topmost wavo of public favor, unap
proached and unapproachable.

How he was Detected.
A murder was committed at Cold-
water, Miss. Dr. Ejtchie, a citizen of
a neighboring town, a local paper Bays,
was on a little spree, and the murder at
Coldwater being fresh in his mind, ne
accused every one he met, in a jocular
way, of being the man who had com
mitted the murder. Finally he met a
stranger, and being just tipsy enough
not to care whom he accosted or what
he said, he addressed the stronger in
the same manner : "Yes you you are
the man who murdered Johnson at
Coldwater. " A look of guilt overspread
the man's face, and simultaneously he
ran his hand in his bosom as if to draw
a weapon. Dr. Eitchie, observing the
movement, collared him with his left
hand, and with his right drew a dirk
from his pocket, and holding it threat
eningly above him, told him if he at
tempted to draw a weapon he would
plunge that knife to his heart in a sec
ond. He then commanded the man to
withdraw his hand from his bosom,
which command was speedily obeyed,
when, instead of a weapon, the man
drew out the sum of Sl.iuo, which ne
dropped on the ground at his feet, and
which had been taken from the body of
the murdered man. Meanwhile a crowd
had gathered around the doctor and his
prisoner, and the evidence of the man's
guilt was by this time so palpable that
he was declared to be under arrest and
securely tied.
