DR. 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.

As soon as one trench was well packed ,
earth was thrown in, and the mass of
hopping creatures, not yet ready to fly,

300 feet of trench a foot wide had been
filled to a depth of a foot. A finger

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.—

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

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.

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). Mr. Burdette’s modes
ty induces him to say that the poem is
addressed to one Rollo Jay Burdette, a
babe who has taken up his abiding
place in the Burdette mansion ; but does
he hope to deceive an admiring and a
confiding public in that way ?—Buffalo
Express.

A Valnable Discovery.
—
It is an open secret that a party of ■
about ten prospectors have discovered a
new gold-bearing quartz lead about five ।
miles from this city, which is said to be
of immense width. 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. —
