JOHN BULL'S Smith’s Tonic Syrup FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER. The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all rem edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Cb ills and Fever, wheth er of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion chat in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the direct ions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has oeen sufficient for a cure, and whole families nave been cured by a single bottle, with a per fect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every care moreccr uU to cure, if its use is continued in smaller d^ses for a week or two aftor the disease has hcon checked, more especially in difficult and loug-standing cases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, re quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken thi ee or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will oe sufficient.

Edison is to experiment with his clec : trie light in the new Capital at Albany, Eight young men left Hartford last . August to nurse yellow fever sufferers :in the South. Harry Brooks, the only survivor, has returned home. Ten minutes, according to a medium who testitied in the Vanderbilt will case, । is the shortest interval on record be tween a person’s death and a communi cation from him in the spirit world. A Boxford (Mass.) man has been ! sent to State-prison for 8 yearsfor steal ing hens, while at the same term of Court a Methuen man got six years for robbing the Town while serving as its Treasurer. A Portland young woman was nearly choked to death recently, while trying to swallow a chicken’s heart whole. It lodged in her gullet, and the : efforts of two doctors were necessary in relieving her. ■ Ten years ago over 1,000,000 acres were devoted to potato culture in Ire land; now only about 870,000 acres are thus employed. The decrease is at tributed to the great uncertainty attend ing the cultivation of the crop, and to new methods of foraging cattle. Two members of the Cambridge Uni versity Bicycle Club recently made a trip to Nice and back, riding all the way, except across the Channel, on their two-wheelcd steeds. The entire distance traveled was 1,530 miles, and the time occupied 24 days. A well known Newport (R I.) man, who is wealthy but close, recently counted the shingles in about 20 bund les, with which he was to have his house covered, and because one bundle was short two shingles he took it back to the lumber-yard and demanded that the deficiency be made up. ■ On the site of the lacustrine village I near Estavayer, laid bare by the lower ing of the waters of the Lake of Neu chatel, have been found amber orna ments belonging to the age of stone, and a beautiful golden buckle of the i age of bronze. Fourcances are visible; ! but they have not as yet been raised to । the surface. The immense horns of South African cattle are made to twist spirally, and in fanciful curves, by being scraped on one side or the other while they are growing. Each owner can tell the oxen which belong to his “span” in this way by the acquired shape of their naturally regular horns. The prevailing hats and bonnets in Paris are quite a study for an ento i mologist. Swarms of bees and other insects are settling on some of the hats Arrows and lizzards are giving way to small ornaments of holly leaves, with pearls for berries. Owls’ heads of va rious sizes, some very large, and gilded caterpillars, are l irgely used to confine : bows on bats and bonnets. Charles Gilbert has been in the Connecticut State prison thirteen years on a life sentence for murder. The I truth now comes out that he was only guilty of a knowledge of the crime, his father being the actual murderer. The । son would not speak out until after the death of his father. It is believed that, as he has been punished enough for his complicity, he will be pardoned. An Alabama paper says: There is a woman now residing in Dale County whose maiden name was Wingate. She has been married four times, and has answered to live names, viz.: Wingate, Wood, Walker, Wombles, and Wade, and she is now a widow, and, from what ; we hear, she will add another W to the list before winter fairly sets in. Patience and ingenuity have been displayed by Arlin Evans, who lives l near Horse-shoe Bend, Ala. He has been totally blind for several years, ■ caused from a fall received while erect ing a building. This fall he has erect .ed a gin-house, cotton-screw, and the running gear of the gin, doing all the framing and laying off of the timbers himself. A female elephant in the I’hiladel ; phia Zoological Garden was greatly i frightened by the recent gale, and when she cut one of her feet on the i glass of a broken window her terror was complete. She sat on her haunch es, held up her wounded foot, and bel lowed loud and long. When the keeper entered, her male companion had his trunk wound round the foot, as though trying to comfort her. The only private mortuary chapel in the United Slates is in Oakwood Ceme tery, Troy, N. Y. It. belongs to the wealthy Warren family. It is built of stone, with a vault underneath, and has handsome appurtenances of Episcopal worship, elaborate adornments, and a stained window of great value. The only services held there are at the burials of members of the family. In 1707, a wagon express, running once in two weeks, carried all the freight between New York and Philadel phia. In 1754 there was a mail between these cities but once a week. In 177(1 they commenced running three times a week. The year ending January 1, 1873, the receipts for freight by the Pennsylvania Railroad between t ■ two ■ cities were $3,287,196.72. The Greek Archbishop of Sniyrna was almost mortally wounded tL. other day by a man desiring to be m ried. The latter, upon being informed y the prelate that, among the formalizes to ।be complied with, the consent of parents was indispensable, stabbed him three times and fled. At last accounts ' the Archbishop was in a precarious con dition, and the assassin had not been j captured. The new port about to be construct j ed at Boulogne, France, will be the most beautiful of any on the coast of that country. Four magnificent re j volving electric lights will be erected ' at the extremity of the breakwater, and there will be. bells rung by the waves in i ease of fog. The lights will be strong ■ enough to illuminate the harbor and to Ibe seen from the English coast. Until now there has been no port with mote I than two lights. Two cases of the most rapid docking of vessels on record have been recently reported from Europe. One was at London, where a steamer of 3,557 tons was docked, scraped, all the bare and rusty places protected, the entire bot tom painted and the ship set afloat again in eleven and three-quarters hours. The second instance occurred in Russia, | where a vessel of 745 tons was docked, j scraped, painted, her screw examined and repainted, and the vessel herself refluatod in only seven hours. Twelve years ago a man left for safe keeping at a Lancaster (Pa.) bank j $3,000 in 7 30 notes and a SSOO 5-20 | bond. The notes and bond were mis ’ placed and when the man called for his deposit the bank refused te make it good. - The loser sued in the State courts and the bank was obliged to refund the full' amount of the securities, principal and 1 , interest, and pay the costs of the suit. : A few days ago the notes and the bond were found in the bank attic in an old copy-book. They were presented at the Treasury for redemption and redeemed. Their principal and interest was $4,190. The following story is told to illus trate the alm ,st Quixotic regard for truth of Alessander Asinaria —formerly Papal Nuncio at the Court of Brussels — who died a few days ago. On his recall from Brussels, as lie was journeying to wards Rome, Monsignor Asinaria was stopped by bandits near Viterbo. Purses having been duly delivered up and the carriage conscientiously searched, the chief of the brigands turned to the pre late and asked him if he had concealed a#y thing. Monsignor Asinaria replied that he had 8,000 francs stowed away under some soiled linen. The brigands took the money. Ten and a half tons —or about 7,500,- 000—of locusts were destroyed at Ajmere, India, in one day, not long ago. The young ones wers doing immense damage, when the officers of a regi ment stationed there got out fatigue ‘ parties of men, dug several trenches to 1 leeward of the pests, and sent Sepoys to wave branches and drive the locusts in. As soon as one trench was well packed , earth was thrown in, and the mass of hopping creatures, not yet ready to fly, was driven into the next. In two hours 300 feet of trench a foot wide had been filled to a depth of a foot. A finger bowl dipped into the trench and struck off with a card contained 566 locu-ts, I and from t he unit of weight and number thus obtained the calculation was made. Pat and the Priest. An Irish priest was standing at the corner of a square about the hour of dinner, when one of his countrymen, observing the worthy father in perplex- | Ity, thus addressed him: “Oh, Father O’Leary, how is your riverence?” “Mightily put out, Pat,” was the re ' p'y- “Put out! It ho’d put out your river ence?” “Ah, you don’t understand! This is just it: I am invited to dine at one of the houses in this square, and I have forgotten the name, and I never looked at the number, and now it’s seven o’clock.” “Ob, is thatall?” was the cry. “Just now, be aisy, your riverence; I’ll settle that for you.” So saying, away flew the good na tured Irishman round the square, glanc ' ing at the kitchens, and when he dis j covered a fire that denoted hospitality : he thundered at the door, and inquired, “Is Father O'Leary here?” As might be expected, again and again he was repulsed. At length an angry footman exclaimed: “No, bother on Father O'Leary 1 he is not here; but he. has to dine here to-day, and the cook is in a rage, and says the dinner will be ' spoiled. All is waiting for Father O'Leary.” Paddy, leaping from the door as if the steps had been on fire, rushed up to the astonished priest, and cried, “All right, your riverence; you dine at 43 — and a mighty good dinner you'll get." “Oh, Pat,” said the grateful pastor, “the bl.ssingsof a hungry man be upon you!” “Long life and happiness to your riv erence! I have got your malady—l only wish I had your cure,” returned Pat. A Fisher of Women. It is no uncommon thing to hear of guns, supposed to be unloaded, going off and shooting the unwary; but I was in a country-house in Scotland the oth ' er day when a fishing-rod charged with three flies went off, and landed a full grown young woman in the entrance hall. She happened to be passing along, quite unconscious of her fate, when a party of gentlemen were discussing the merits of an American split bamboo, and were sending delicate casts into an ■ imaginary pool. Great was their con sternation when shrieks were heard is suing from the calm and tranquil depths, and they found a female rushing wildlv ilown a dark passage with the line. The gentleman who had possession of the rod al the moment did not fully re alize the situation at first, but inslinct . ively kept her head well up; while an | other, out of pure habit, seized a gall' and set off in pursuit with the rest of the party. Notwithstanding much protest on the part of the young lady, who de clared she “was not caught at all," they succeeded in dragging the unwill ing captive back to the light, with all her blushes and all the flies upon her. After a most careful and a most minute examination, they found an “ artful dodger" in her boot, a “ red-spinner” lurking in the mazes of her skirts, and, still more shocking, a “professor” clinging tightly round her waist, lam r bound to say—and whai 1 have already said is true—the gentleman whooflieiat ed on the trying occasion showed more patience than skill in trying to cut out the professor, but, taking it all around, their piscatorial adventure was a suc cess, though not without its dangers.— London World. Extravagance at Funerals. A movement started by a few gentle men at Spring Grove to put an end to ostentation at funerals should receive the encouragement of all sensible peo ple. Nothing could be in worse taste than display in presence of death. A few months ago a funeral on one of the st reets of the West End came under our observation. The husband and head of the house had died. It was a very mod est cottage in which husband, wife and children had lived for some yeais, toil ing hard, for they wore industrious peo ple, for the sheerest necessaries of life. But being dead, it seemed to the wife that her late husband must have as grand a funeral as her more opulent neighbors. So there was, in addition to the minister and undertaker, a band and twenty hacks, and a concourse of people drawn together to witness the funeral of a man who had not in all his life attracted as much attention as in going out of it. The hats of the pall bearers had the regulation crape, and their hands were covered with the usual black gloves. There were flowers, too— not inappropriate as testimonials of affection—and whatever was needed to give to the funeral the proper exaltation as a social event. But as the heavily plated casket, borne by the stout pall bearers, came across the threshhold of the door into the street, one was invol untarily attracted by the rusty sign of “Washing and Ironing,” which wi-s nailed to the side of the house, and hi: I not been taken in . — Cincinnati Commer | cial. CROWNING AN AFRICAN KING. | A Peculiar Ceremony on the West Coast— “ King Archibong 111. of Old Calabar.” j [From the London Times.] A correspondent on the West Coast gives a description of the recent crown ing of King Archibong of Old Calabar. The event had been looked forward to for some time, and during the week of the coronation the town and district were cn fete. Both on the river and in the villages there was a great display of bunting, while guns were fired almost incessantly. Mr. David Hopkins, the English Consul, who had been at O'd Calabar for some little time settling dis putes between traders and chiefs, was selected to proclaim Adam Archibong King. On the morning of the 6th ult. Consul Hopkins was escorted to Duke Town, with the people of Henshaw Town as a guard of honor. The pro cession formed a spectacle of an unu sual kind. The men were attired in the gaudiest colored prints it was possible to collect, while an umbrella of extraordinary di mensions and colors was carried above the head of the Consul. The caval cade arrived at the enclosure adjoining the palace, where a throne had been placed on a newly erected platform. । The natives were here assembled in thousands, and were very enthusiastic. I Shortly afterward the procession of the King-elect issued from the palace, a rudely constructed building of wood, and wended its way to the platform. Like the other body, many and various were the colors worn by the men. It was headed by a band of “ musicians,” making a great uproar with toy trum pets and tom-toms. Many military coats were conspicuous here, as in the Consul’s following. In several instances big negroes wore | very small coats, which, not meeting in front, were drawn tightly to the figure with string. His Majesty King Archi bong was scarcely less comically dress ed. His loins were girt with a satin cloth of many colors, while a long slieve hit covered his head. This hat had evidently seen much service, being almost shapeless with indentations. His feet, like those of his attendants, were bare, and there was also a huge umbrel la held high above his head. Archibong, who is a man about 60 years old, is to tally blind, and leaned on the arm of his son. He ascended to the platform amid the enthusiasm of the assembled crowd, who danced and shouted in the most frantic manner; but as soon tis Consul Hopkins received the King the tumuli Ceased. The Consul read the existing treaties between the former Kings of Old Calabar and Queen Victoaia, which where interpreted to the King by Mr. Campbell, an English missionary on the coast, and to which Archibong as sented. A new treaty was also drawn up, the King agreeing thereto, which makes it compulsory upon all his Eu ropean subjects to wear the European stale of dress. Treaty matters having been arranged, the ceremony of corona tion was proceeded with. The. Queen, with her retinue of female attendants, arrivid and look her place on the plat , form: Her Majesty, a verj’ corpulent old lady, was not permitted to take her seat by the side of her sable consort. Amid the continued silence of the native throng, Consul Hopkins threw a scarlet cloak round Archibong, put a crown on his head, and a scepter in his hand, and proclaimed him “ King Archibong 111., of Old Calabar.” Then the shrieks and hurrahs of the assembled thousands rent the air, the men and women dancing and shouting in the wildest glee. The . crown appeared to be of gold, was very massive, and was studded with “repre sentative ” diamonds. During the ceremony the King seem ed to be greatly agitated, and at one time was scarcely able to hold the scepter. Immediately after the coro nation a salute of twenty-one guns was fired, anil the King and his courtiers adjourned to the palace, where a ban- i quet in the native fashion was prepar ed. The English residents were espe cially favored by the King, and among those present at the -dinner were Con sul Hopkins, the whole of the English missionaries of the district, and the Captain, chief engineer, doctor, and purser of the mail steamer " Kinsem-. boo.” The principal dish consisted of . “ palm oil chop,” which is considered a great luxury by the natives. Fuel for Cooking. Just now, in Paris, you will see the art of great cooking in perfection with the least amount of fuel. In England and America there is an absolute and unnecessary waste of fuel as well as viands by the employment of huge tires. England is more wasteful by reason of being more prejudiced than America in this matter. In one day in England a cook will consume more fuel ami pro duce less good dinners than a French cook will in a month of superb cooking! Count llumford laid down practical rules by which a dinner for 1,000 per sons could be excellently well cooked and served ala cost of 10 cents! Now this process is improved upon, and a dinner for 1,500 persons can be well cooked at a fuel expense of live cents! Not by gas—that, is a wasteful expense —but by the carbonated refuse of the gas-house, known as coke. This coke is placed in a peculiarly constructed stove, which permits none of the fumes to pass into any other place than the closed chimney. The coke is generated into a brilliant fire at first by a power ful draft, then toned down as per the wants of the cook by a mechanical damper. At this point all the odor of the gas has gone, and nothing but a clear fire, minus smell or dust, is ready. This fire in the broad-top stove does duty for several dishes at the same time. You yet your dinner hot and well cooked at a cost of less fuel than ever before known. The owner of the patent is about to proceed to America to protect his invention, or I might explain it. Notwithstanding the dullness of trade in England, building is particu larly active at present in London. Whole streets and quarters are pulled down and replaced by more expensive buildings. At the same time there are more houses, floors and offices to rent than ever. In some portions of the city fully twenty per cent, of the avail able space seems to be unoccupied. At Des Moines, a kitten had caught and was playing with a mouse, when the frightened captive sprang into pus sv’s open mouth and ran down her throat. The kitten went into spasms, which did not subside until the -mouse had been suffocated. Dr. Bull’s Couon Strut la a purely vege table compound, innocent in nature and won derful in effect.

Suet Pudding.—l pint of bread crumbs, 1 quart of milk, 1 cup of sugar, 4 eggs, 4 tablespoonfuls of suet, or but- J ter size of an egg, salt and nutmeg. . Bake three-quarters of an hour. To be eaten with cream or sauce. Cleaning Cistern Water. —Add 2 ounces powdered alumn and 2 ounces borax to a 20-barrel cistern of rainwater I that is blackened or oily, and in a few hours the sediment will settle and the water be clarified and fit for washing and even for cooking purposes. Victorias.—l cupful sugar, 1 egg, 1 teaspoonful of soda dissolved in 1 pint of water; beat butter and sugar togeth er, add the water, stir in enough flour to make thin batter; bake on a hot griddle without turning over; butter each one the instant it is done. Nice for lunch. Suet Sour Made Without Meat.— In your soup-pot put about i pound of butter; set on the stove; slice in 4 large onions; fry a nice brown, stirring all the time; put in 4 quarts of cold water, 1 large coffee-cup split peas, well wash ed ; boil 4 hours before serving; stir well with your potato-masher; strain through a colander in your tureen; many like tomato catsup in this soup. Scotch Broth. —Take A teacup bar ley and 4 quarts cold water; bring to the boil and skim; put in now a neck of mutton and boil again for A hour; skim well the sides also of the pot; have ready 2 carrots, 1 large onion, 1 small head cabbage; 1 bunch of parsley, 1 sprig of celery tops; chop all these fine; add your chopped vegetables; pepper and salt to taste; take 2 hours to cook. Lemon Pies.—The juice and grated rind of 1 lemon, 1 cup of sugar, yelk of 2 eggs, 2 tablespoonfuls flour, milk to till pie-plate. It milk is not convenient, water, with a small lump of butter, is a good substitute. Line a medium-sized plate with nice pastry, pour in the custard; baku until done. Beat the 2 whites of eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten with 4 tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, spread smoothly over the pie when baked, and brown lightly in the owen. Washing Colored Hose.—First, they should never be soaped or soaked. If not too soiled, wash in almost cold water; make a lather of good bar-soap —white is best—and in it dissolve a small piece of alum, (ise this dissolved soap in the water, and rub the goods with the hands as far as possible. Put through two waters, and rinse in two more. A handful of salt or a spoonful of vinegar in the rinsing water helps to brighten and hold the colors. Wash only one article at a time, and that very quickly. This is good for colored mus lins, calicos, linens and silk handker chiefs. AITLE-BUTTEH.— Making this is well understood by most old farmers’ wives, Lut people who live in cities, and de pend on the market and the family grocer to furnish them all such articles ready prepared, do not know how vastly more economical it is to make their own. Take good apples, all of one kind, so they will cook evenly, pare and quar ter them, then put into boiling cider, about 2 gallons of apples to 1 of cider; boil it first ami then simmer slowly (stirring constantly), about 12 hours, till it is reduced to a thick smooth pulp, when it can be put away in open jars for winter use. Now is the time for making apple-butter, while apples and cider are plenty and good. Bnydette’s Female Admirer. Nellie Marshall McAfee writes a very pretty poem to R. .1. Burdette, of the Burlington Haiobye. Wo extract two verses: How thy winsome lips unclose! Like a sweet cleft-open rone, Which doth partially disclose Dewy heart in rare repose. What a perfect baby face! Full of sweet, unconscious grace; With its brow pure a* a pearl! Framed in silk-soft hair a curl! There is a trifle too much tenderness in the poem to suit the strictly ortho dox, and we should think it would make trouble in the family; but the descrip tion of Mr. Burdette is certainly very tine, and likewise true to the life. The puritanical might object, it is true, to the closing words, “Baby mine;” hut we have always insisted that there was not enoughjaifection in this world—and, after all, pt•rhaps the lady can’t prove it. Again, the expression, “What a perfect baby face!” may be looked up on by the rude as not complimentary; but the succeeding line, to the effect that the face is “ full of sweet, unconscious grace,” gives yn idea of manly repose which certainly does not detiact from the gentleman’s power and dignity. And, finally, that Mr. Burdette has “ a brow pure as pearl, framed in silk-soft hair a curl,” nobody can deny, and the few words are an entire picture in a SSO frame, C. O. I).

One wall rock of quartzite can be traced for four miles: the other, of porphyry, running parallel to it, has been traced an equal distance; and between the two, a distance of 3,- 000 feet, lies this enormous body of gold bearing quartz. The ore assays from S2O to S4O per ton. The rock is of a dark color, carrying pyrites of iron in large quantities. Colors are obtained in every pan prospected. The rumor also says that the whole ledge has been pooled, and a value of $10,000,000 plac ed upon it. At present a force of fifteen men are engaged opening it up. Speci mens of the rock left at this office look well, and are good for sore eyes. — Deadivood Pioneer. —Aunt: “What ever is it you keep on saying, Maud?

Arc Ual People Heulthy I ale lai, i^:>|,le «lra;s complaining:! .via, »)e popular though erroneous notion that health is synon omous with fat. Fat people complal । because they are diseased. Obesity is an abnormal condition of the system, in which the saccha rine and oleaginous elements of the food are | assimilated, to the partial exclusion of the | ntuscie-f ot ruing and brain-producing elements, i In proof of ties, it is only necessary to assert i the well-known fact that excessively fat peo ’ pie arc never strong, and seldom distinguished for mental power sor activity. Besides, they are the easy prey of acute and epidemic dis eases, and they arc the frequent victims of gout, heart disease, and apoplexy. Allan's Anti-Fat is tire only known remedy for this disease. It contains no acid, is absolutely harmless, and is warranted to remedy the most continued case of obesity, or corpulency.
