THE REASON Tho' she hath not Dian's grao% Nor Aphrodite's perl'uct face ,w. And golden hair, She is dearer unto mo Than another e'er could be, And more fair. "Is she rich, then?" Oh! dear, qp, But 1 have enough, I trow, For us two. "What do I love her for?" AW well, That I can't exactly tell, But I do. All my hopes of gladness lies In the love-light of her eyes The fond kiss Of her tender, rosv lips, Touch of her slender finger-tips, Gives more bliss Than you, cold cynic, e'er could guess. But still, the reason, vou confess, "You can't divine." Well, I love her and she loves me better reason can there bo For joy like mine? —London Spectator. A GOOD'SAMAKITAS. BY WILLIS B. ALLEN. "Oh, Sue, papa says we are really go ing to Europe next month! Won't we have fun! We'll go to the 'Zoo,' that those English books tell so much about, and we'll climb to the very tip top of the pyramids, and we'll go shopping in Paris —just think of it—and we'll see the queen, perhaps. O, isn't it too nice for anything?" ami she ended in a little scream of delight. "I think I shall like the ocean best and the whales, you know," replied her sister contentedly. She was the young est of the family, and was more of a quiet little house body than the rest. "I Bhall sit and watch the water, and oh, Alice, just think of the sunsets—whole sunsets, without the least mite of a house or a hill between!" "I know," said Alice, carelessly, as she waltzed with herself around the room. "There'll be clouds, though, I suppose. Now, dear, don't moralize on that, and Bay that the clouds are what makes the sunset bright! All I care for is that we're going, and we are to sail on the Samaria just six weeks from to-mor »W!" "Why, how nice! Then we'll all be "Good Samaritans!" and Alice's laugli rang out merrily. "I don't know about tho 'good' part," said Sue, puckering up her mouth in her funny, solemn way. "And .1 hope there won't be any thieves on board. Now, Alice, let's plan." Here followed such a breathlessly ex cRin^' discussion of hats and dresses of woolen stuflSs for the voyage, as only two girls of sixteen and fourteen can carry on when started. During the sue eeedinr days the library was ransacked for books of travel, and directions for the journey. On the Sunday before the dav cf sailing, the minister" added the lifct straw by preaching upon the text *fltliey that go down to the sea in ships."' e shan't have to go down," whis pered mischevious Alice "papa savs.you have to walk right up hill from the "wharf to get on board." Sues face twitched a little, but she looked toward the pulpit harder than ever. You couldn't make Sue laugh in church, and when near the end of along Bermon, some of the older member Closed their eyes placidly, or knitted t&eir brows absent mindly", and through out the congregation there was that sub dued rustle of fans and silk dresses, so annoying to a speaker, the minister was alv. avs sure to find one pair of seri blii e eves fixed on him, and one little pair of ears listening to cverv syllable of the "thirdly" and "fourthly" he had penned so carefully in his study. You Shouldn't have caught Sue falling out of the window while Paul was preaching Well, Saturday came at last, and a won derful day it was. The splashing, muddy ride from their home to tlie little country station on the Eastern railroad, the last look at the red chimneys, and the round ed tops of the maples and elms, all quiv ering with the fresli growth of spring and the rush of sap through their veins, the Stout conductor, noddiug pleasantly to the whole family, as he swayed along through the aisle, and paused to punc their four tickets. "Guess vou're bound off this time, Mr, Raymond? Thought I sh'd have to put another car on to carry your gage." It was a curious feeling, this minding with the ordinary life of the other pas sengers, buying the morning pnper of the newsboy, watching people who would ride back over the same road in a few hours, while they—where would thev be when night fell? "It seems just like holding our opera glass up to one eye, and looking straight Sliead with the other," Sue confided to her mother, nestling closer, and laying her curly head uqon her shoulder. Out of the cars, and into a hack, with an express team full of trunks lumber ing behind.. Then the ferry, which was quite a voyage in itself, with the great, milky waves rolling after them as the} Splashed along the harbor. In five min ifltes more they were on the wharf, in the jfcidst of bales, boxes, teams, men run ning to and fro, horses backing distract edly, deckhands rattling along with their noisy trucks, and, pervading everything and even-body, i strong o'lorof tar. "I told you so," laughed Alice, excit edly, as they passed up the smooth gang way plank, and found their way to the saloon. She was in a high state of ner vous delight, while Sue, on the other hand, was feeling sober at the thoughto' leaving home. She had never known: how dear it was—even the old tarry docks and warehouses—until half an hour later the last hawser was thrown 0, and the ship with a tremor from Stein to stern, began that dull thud ,thud, of the propeller wheel which was not to cease until they should signal for a ten der, off Queenstown Harbor. They all £ood. unon the UDner deck* waving ftefr handkerchiefs'to those on the wharf •P long as they could see them. By this time the steamer had reached the middle of the stream and heading foi the open ocean, was soon past the Outer Light, with her journey fairly before her. ®hen Sue felt a surge of homesickness tt)me over her, until it seemed as if she must fling herself overboard, rather than be borne off in this great, remorseless ship. And that little patch of blue water was to widen, widen, until it should stretch away, full three thousand miles between her and home. A large drop trickled down her cheek and "fell upon her hand, which was helplessly clutching the brass rail encircline the hurricane deck. As she turned away, her eyes blurred so that the great red runnel seemed as wa vy as the volumes of black smoke that poured pfcadly out of it. She knew what was the wisest thing to do in such a case, and she did it. She looked about to see whether she could help or comfort anybody else. Pres ently she found an old lady, who was trying to ad just herself with a heavy rug, in one of tpose long steamer chairs that are so hard tp get into when they are straightened Out. She helpfcd her, and then tucked SVJ ,rnF a"out her feet so nicely that the fiUd lady thanked her, and asked her if ibe felt badly at leaving home. This Opened Sue's heart at once, and thev Were soon the best of friends. Before long, as she sat on a camp stool talking to her new acquaintance, and to her mother, who had also been comfort- Slaughter, jbly wrapped and tucked in by her little she began to have a queer feel itig in the top of lier head. Looking up, «ie noticed with some interest that the Upper bar of the railing now and then dipped below the horizon line that Sometimes it went quite a distance above it that she was leaning slightly, first one Way and then the other, to "keep her balance, as the ship swung on the long, efisy swell of the ocean that people did japt talk so much as at first that it was ,4N9gy unpleasant have the deck stew ard urge ner to '"ave some lunch." In *hort, our poor little sailor soon disap peared down tho companion way, and it deemed ages before she climbed those IHtairs again. Such misery as tilled tho •next two days she had never known. O, how she longed for Ave minutes on shore. How near are we to land?" she had once asked in utter despair and the cheery stewardess replied: "Onlv a mile and a 'a If, mum its just under us!" Among Sue's troubles were two life pre servers, which were suspended from tho leeiling of tho stateroom, and tilted slight fly with every motion of the ship. They were in the shape of rings, to be fasten ed around tho lody, and, in the midst of her sick fancies,"she could not get the idea out of her head that thev were im mense doughnuts, painted wnite, which she must eat at once. Father and mother recovered first, then Alice and last of all, Sue. Then how sweet the air, how beautiful the long, foamy sweep of tho waves, the rosy yelouds, the passing ships that now and khen fluttered, like white moths upon the horizon. She used to get up very early in the morning, and the bluff kind hearted officer would invite her up with him on his high bridge, where she could see the whole ship spread out like a map, and could look oft over the gray water and gray skv, unti\ the east grew all aflame,'and slowly, grandly, the full blight sun arose. "Isn't it like, the King of glory shall come in?' she had once said timidly to the red bearded first mate. Yes, Miss," he had answered in his short, hearty way, "and he comes every day as soon as the gates are up:" So the hours went by quietly, peace fully,and the faithful engine never ceased to "throb, night or day. She watched whales and sunsets to her heart's content. Alice spent much of her time in walking up and down the deck with the captain, and learning to play shutlleboaid and ring toss. Eather and mother read, talked, and dozed in tho warm sunshine. Ono of Sue's favorite occupations was to go as far forward as possible on the upper deck, and watch the steerage pas sengers, of whom there were two ot three hundred on board. She pitied them, becanse they looked so poorand miserable. Some of tliem seemed to be returning to their old homes, discour aged ana hopeless. Some laughed and talked noisily, but most of them curled up wherever' they could, on stanchions or heaps of rope, and lay there, many of them wretchedly sick", throughout "tho day. They generally ate, drank and washed in full sight. The worst thing was that they were treated so much as it they were cattle. They were ordered roughly back and forth by the officers, and at "a certain" point a rope was drawn across the deck, to prevent them from intruding upon the cabin passengers. They nearly all had aweary, hunted, hopeless look, which went to Sue's heart. Still, she could do nothing for them. The. rules of the ship were verv strict sne had carried out some grapes, one day, to a delicate looking young girl, who had crept up on deck foi the lirst time tliat'morning, and for this little kindness Sue had been sliarply rebuked by the head steward. "She mustn't in tefere Avitli tho steerage," he had said the Cunard company would look out for them." So she could do nothing but watch them wistfully, and long to help them. They were six days out from Boston. The ship had encountered head winds, and would not reach Queenstown for several days, the officer said. When Sue came "on deck that morning, she thought she noticed a commotion among the sieerage passengers. They gathered in groups, talking earnestly, and glancing now and then toward the hatchway that led to their quarters below. The sailors seemed with one accord to avoid tliem as far as possible. The jovial first mate was quite silent, and walked the deck with a quick, nervous step, now casting a glance at the huge mainsail, which had been set during the night, now iausinga moment to regard the ragged crowd on the deck below. Never during its voy age had there been so many of them in sight at one time. The ship fairly swarmed with them. Already the cab in passengers were eagerly inquiring what was the matter, but could learn nothing:. During tho whole forenoon the taciturnity and mysterious air of the ofiicers increased, until several men of influence from the cabin, among them Mr. Raymond, waited upon the captain, as a committee, to ascertain once for all die cause and nature of the disturbance that was making itself felt throughout the ship. They found him in his little deck state room/talking in low, earnest tones with the ship's surgeon, and made known their errand. "If you don't give some explanation, captain," they said, "there will be a regular panic on board. The ladies are afraid there is fire in the hold, or that the ship has sprung a leak. Let ns know at once what is the matter, and we will either keep silence altogether, or make such a report as shall satisfy everybody that it is nothing serious." "CJentlemen," replied the captain calmly, after a moment's silence, "vou are disturbing yourselves unreasonably. I have hardly thought, it necessary to explain to passengers all the proceedings on 1oard iny ship, but I am willing to tell you the trifle that has caused this alarm. An infant died in the steerage last night, of some childish disorder, and was— buried. I believe another one is sick now. The doctor was just informing me that he thought it best, as a mere matter of precaution, to fumigate the quarters. That is all." "And where is the sick child?" "I left it in the steerage," answered the doctor, "until I could have the hos pital made ready, I shall remove it my selt, soon, Defore" disinfecting the place." Tho passengers withdrew, not more than half satisfied, and Mr. Raymond went to tell Ids wife what he had heard. He found her in her stateroom, busilv talking with the stewardess, who had al ready told the news under a strict pledge of secrecy, "or it will cost me my place, mem. And the poor, little creature, she that's sick now—it's measles like, I think —is left there alone in that hole of a place, and onlv three years old, and .half frightened to death, no doubt." "Rut her mother is with her?" asked Mrs. Raymond. "Indeed she's not, mem. She's just in the charge of strangers, who are taking her over to the h'ola folks in Ireland, ve know. "Slid not a soul will stay with the poor little thing, they're so frightened with he sickness, ye know. The doctor, he tried to 'ire two or three, but they won't do it. He says he will have to be nurse for the child himself, after the smoking's over." "Henry." said Mrs. Raymond to her husband, don' you think you had bet ter speak to Sue and Allie, and ask them not to go forward? You needn't tell them what is the matter, you know. They've been on deck since morning." "You are right, dear, and I'll seo if anything can be done for the child. If money can hire a nurse, III find one." Without further words he left the state room and took his way to the deck. He soon found Alice, deep in one of Mrs. Whitney's books, behind the wheel house. "Allie, dear. I wouldn't "0 forward of the smokestack to-day. They're clean ing the sieerage quarters, and the air is very unpleasant." "Very well, papa," without looking from her book. "Promise me, dear." Why of course I won't, if you don't wish me to, sir!" said Alice, surprised al her father's earnestness, and turning to see the reason. But he was gone, and she dropped back into her book. Pres ently he returned with a troubled face. "Alice, have you seen Sue lataly?" "No, papa, not since I came on deck. Why?'* "I wish very much to speak to her. Please try to find her." v Alice turned down a leaf and rose reluctantly. At that moment the quar termaster, who was in charge of the deck, touched his hat and said: "I see'd ^our little girl on tho lower deck, sir, about two hours ago, goin' for rard." The troubled look on Mr. Raymond's face deepened: He turned away at once. Meeting the youns doctor as he did so, he spoke u few words to him in u low.tone. upon which the_tv£o_ went im mediately (town the companion way, and walked with ouiok step toward tho bow of the ship. They often had to jtause and pick their way among the groups ol steerage passengers who lay about the deck In every conceivable position. Some of them stared at the well dressed gen tleman with the troubled face, and some of tliem began a question to tho doctor, but the two kept on without a word. Past the kitchen, with its its steamy, vegetable odors, past the engine room, with its never resting, polished steel bars vibrating up and down, back and forth. At each of these places the doctor asked a single question of tho men in charge, ana then went on. Not a nook nor cor ner, not a ragged, woful group of women and children escaped the anxious search ing glance of the lather's eye. The walk was repeated on the other side of the ship, but without result. As they passed one door, a sickening, sulphury odor crept out, and a few curls of smoke. They're preparing for the fumiga tion," "explained the doctor, keenly watching his companion's face, "I thought we'd best do it to satisfy the au thorities." Then they went straight to the head of the stairs that led to the dark, ill-ventil ated steerage. There the doctor paused and checked Mr. Raymond with his hand. "I wouldn't go down there," he said, lightly "it's rather a disagreeable place, you know." Suddenly his face changed. "Hark!" he said. And Mr. Raymond listened. Faintly, sweetly, came a girlish voice up out of tho darkness. Some one was singing. Ah, if the roar of the Avind and dull breaking of waters against the bows would but stop lor one little moment! Hark—they could hear the words now: "Jesus, lover of inv soul." The doctor glanced iignin at Mr. Ray mond's face. It was blanched white as the foam on the wave tops that could be seen over the bulwarks as the ship rolled. "Doctor, he said, "let me pass. That is my little girl singing." "O, never mmd,'' said the doctor, still holding his arm across tho companion way "I'll go down and get her up." Doctor, whv won't you let me—you said—" The surgeon glanced over his shoulder and saw that they were alone. Then he looked the other full in the eye and said, slowlv^ "Because it—is—smallpox." "Then for God's sake, let me go by! Stand aside, I say, or I'll knock you down and pass over you!" For the tall, wiry voung doctor had placed himself before him, and was directly blocking the way. "You will do no such thing, sir. You are not strong enough to master me, and if you try I will have you put in irons will go down and bring your daughter up. She Bliall occupy my stateroom for the rest of the voyage. If her mother choo-es to share ft with her. and keep way from you until we land, she may do so. You can not seo her, and after ward go back among the passengers." While the billows near me roll. Again the childish tones, with a little tireu tremble in them, rose above the s und of the waters. Mr. Ravmond cov ered hw face with his hands foram ii ent, then turned away. "Her mother will come," he said. Tue doctor quickly descended the stairs. The steerage" was divided by rough partitions into small compartments around the sides of the open space in the center, where were the dining tables made of pine boards, once clean and fresh, but now stained to a dingy brown. In each compartment were six berths, three on a side, one over the other These berths were filled with various untidy heaps of bed-clothing, as their occupants liad hurriedly left tliem in the morning, and the air of the whole place was foul and stifling. In the fur thest corner, on the edge of one of the wide berths, sa4. Sue, her pretty brown steamer hood thrown back on her ghoul ders, holding the sick child in her lap, bending over it, and rocking it to and fro as sne sung. "I'm glad you've come, doctor," she said simply. "I was getting tired. Have vt HI found anybody to take care of this little girl? Because if you haven't I am going to stay with her "to-night." "Do you know what is the matter with her?" "Yes, sir one of the steerage passen gers .told. me. There, there, baby,"— and the little woman began again to" sin to the child, who was turning restlessly in her arms. I will not say what made the doctor eyes shine just then. I never saw a doc tor crv, although I suppose they do •sometimes, like other people. At any rate lie turned his head away sharply and didn't say anything for half a min ute then he told feue lie would 6eeif the "hospital" was all read}-, and would be back presently. In three minutes, he thought. Those minutes seemed very long to Sue. Her arms ached, and her throat was tired with singing and talking. And the sick child, being dressed in clothe by no means clean or dainty at the lx ginning of the voyage, and still less now. was not so pleasant to hold as the babies Sue had loved to tend at home. "But He took them in His arms," she thought wearily "and Palestine babies were no nicer" than steerage babies, I guess." Then came thoughts ol what might happen next. Would she, too, be sick of that terrible disease? Would it be for a long time? Would she —die? "There was no more sea," she wont on to herself, as tho ship lurched heavily before the freshening breeze. "That s good to think of. Only there wont be any sunsets. Oh, if He"would only come walking on tho water, and make those great waves stop, and—and—put out His hand, and—cure—" Sue felt a great lump in her throat She heard trie doctor's step on the stairs Her head reeled with the lon« confine ment and the foul air she had Dreathed She laid the baby gently on the bed, and —the next face she saw was her mother's She was in a funny little stateroom, which had, beside the furnishings of her own room, a cosy Shelf of books, a comforta ble easy chair, and several small, but brilliant, prints on the wall. The red unset light just struck through the win dow, snd rested warmly on tho pretty white coverlet. She felt to weak and tired to talk—that is, by words. But dear me deaf and dumb people are not the only ones who talk with their fingers. Sue gave a little squeeze to her mother's hand, and I sup pose it would take something like half n Ky age for me to write out what she said it. And her mother answered her another half page, in the same way. On ly she did more. She said: "Tho baby is better, Sue. She is com fortably put to bed in the little ship's hospital, and papa has found a good-na tured Scotch girl to take care of her. The doctor says my little daughter's nurs ing, this afternoon, saved his life." I would like to tell you about the last four days of the voyage. How the cabin passengers passed vote of thanks to Miss Sue Raymond, for her heroism and devotion, and sent them by the doctor. How the steerage jassengers, who did not know how to express them selves in such fine language, were not content with one message, but waylaid the doctor everytimo he showed" his face among them, and sent their humble thanks and blessings to the little volun tary prisoner how, lastof all, a foremast hand among the sailors rolled clumsily up to Mr. Raymond one morning, and placed in his hand a neat oil painting of the"Samaria," upon which he had spent all his spare time, and not. a few shill ings ana pence, during the last few months, with the hope of selling it. by shares to the rich folks, on some voyage when there was a large crowd aboard. "Please give it to the voung miss, sir, he said," and tell her as how, if there's anything that'll make the boys decent when they're on shore, it'll be thinking of lier." Best of all, the baby did improve rap idly, and the doctor finally announced that the disease, although at first threat ening the worst, among such a crowd, had taken one of its many milder forms, and that all danger was over. Yes, Sue "had it," but very lightly, and her mother not at all. Itonly kept them in quiot roomB on tho outskirts of Liver pool, for. a week or tfin days more than tliev had intended. Then they went on, and had their good time. All this happened three or four years ago, and Sue now lives in Boston, Dut if you want to know anything more about lier, you must inquire of the trustees of a certain children's hospital—.ot, fetter still, of the house surgeon. a Malarial Fevor. Malarial fevers, rheumatism, etc., result most frcquantly from inactivity of the liver and kidneys. You make great mistake and do yourself great injustice unless you bestow upon these important organs of life most careful attention. It is wrong to in sistently turn the liver upside down by the use of severe cathartic medicines, or to lash the kidneys into complete exhaustion by overdoses of violent diuretics. Strength can be given to liver and kidneys, new fife and igor infused into every part of the body, old age be made to feel youthful, and disease banished from the body by using the Queen of all health renewers, lr.

I dropped in on the supreme court a lay or two ago. What a jolly old set! There was the chief justice, wi*lPiron ray tiair, thick and stiff, and whiskers just the same, a big nose and a big mouth, wrapped in a black silk gown, 1 ut looking very little like a chief jus tice. But he attends to his business, leaves politics to the dogs, and" is re spected by his associates. On his right, oldest in commission of any one on the bench, is Justice Miller, round and fat. and 04, a little bald, and closely-shaven face. On the bench he is as cross as a hatchet, for he hates circumlocution and shams (and half the bar is made of them) but off the bench he is as jolly, and kind, and gentle as any man you ever saw He has been regarded for* ten vears the ablest man on the bench. The three last appointments on the bench may (Change this, but I doubt it. On the chief justice's left is Justice Field, appointed as a republican, but now a pesky old democrat. He is toll bald-headed, spectacled, full bearded with a Jewish cast of countenance Smart he is, too, as all the Fields are He writes strong opinions and is popu lar. He is a most entertaining compan ion, and a great traveler ana scholar Drink? Yes, once in a while. Miller and Field, respectively, are tho two old est judges in commission on the bench Justice Bradley is the next in point of rank—a thin, refined, closely shaven, grav-haired, scholarly, judicial looking old gentleman, who doesn't seem to liave much to say to any one Justice Harlan, fourth in rank (except ing, of course, tho chief justice), is a specimen Kentuckian—a giant in his way. Big body, big head, big hands, big" feet, loi)£ legs, Ion" arms and long headed, without a doubt. He is at least six feet six inches in height. He rents a furnished house from a friend mine, and my friend had to have made especially for the great Kentuckian, nine-foot bedstead, with matress, blan kets, sheets, etc., to correspond, and al so one for the son of the judge, who is as tall. Judge Harlan was a strong ac quisition to the bench and off. Chew tobacco, did vou say? Well, I should think so, and he knows a glass of Bour bon when he tastes it. There is not much known of Justice Wood. He is a grizzly, slouchy man, whose personal bearing and appearance are not at all strickin ?. He is a judge ofappointment, but he doesn't look like one. Justice Stanley Matthews is built on a big mod el, physically and mentally. As au in tellectual ford? he scarcely has a supe rior on the bench. He is quiet in his intercourse, and does not seem to care to extend his acquaintance. Justice Gray is a tall, white-haired, peppery old bachelor, who snapps up everybody and had rather quarrel than win cause. When he first came on the bench here he was nearly killed with heavy eating and drinking, but that time is over. As the old judges are very nacious of the rights of seniors, he is not likly to be popular. Judge Blatcliford the last appointment, looks like your own George W. Childs and is therefore clean, genial, affable, well dressed anc kindly natured—else looks do not count, Chief Justice Waite lives in a hand some house on Rhode island avenue Judge Miller owns a house on Massa chusetts avenue. Judge Field has large, well built house on Capitol hill—a president from his brother Cyrus—a por tal prison. In this building Clay presid ed three terms as speaker of the liouse. in front of this James Monroe and John Quincy Adams were inaugurated presi dent. John C. Calhoun died in Judge Bradley owns and occupies tlio house on I street which was given to Gen. Grant, and from which he was first inaugurated Gen.Sherman then became the owner, and from him Judge Bradley purcliased it. Judge Harlan lives in costly rented house: Judge Woods boards on street Judge Matthews is building a very imposing and costly mansion on Connecticut avenue oppo site the British legation, Judge Gray 1 wards at Wormley's and Judge Blatch ford has just purchased a $o0,0)0 resi dence on K street. The mutations oftinie affect even the supremo court, for of the bench twenty years ago not a single judge remains—all dead. Only tw judges of the bench of twelve years ago remain, namely, Miller and Field all the others are aead, except'Davis, now in the senate, and Swayne, retired. Pet Animals and Contagious Dis cases. Journal of Comparative Medicine and Medi cal Record. The feet that pet animalB can carry contagion, and thus being the means oi spreading fatal diseases, is not widely known nor duly appreciated. We havo heard of authentic cases in which scarlet fever was communicated from one per son to another by means of a cat. Dr. Hewitt relates a somewhat similar in stance,in which diphtheria was commun icated by the same animal. He had noticed for several days that this pet cat was suffering from an enlargement of the glands of the neck, he also re marked the same in other cats. His cat found a resting-place in tho wall lie hind the stove, and there died. The day the animal was removed diptheria, in "its most violent form broke out in his family, resulting in the death of two or three of his children, the doctor him self barely escaping with his life. Up to this time the community was remarkably free from sickness of any kind.# It was the start of a severe epidemic. Wo ro fer to this subject in hopes that more facts bearing upon it may be communi cated by our readers. Such facts are at present few, but a little attention paid to the matter would, no doubt, secure much that would be of importance to and preventive medicine. The state' historical society is about to purchase the old Goodhuo printing press, the first ever used in Minnesota, on which the Pioneer was tart printed to the spring of 1849. S WHAT SMOKERS SMOKE. Not Tobacco alone, but Vanilla, Cedai Oil, Itum and All Sorts of Drags. From the Providence Journal. Fifteen factories in New York employ hemist8 to "flavor" cigars. They can not do much with the wrapper, but they can "heighten and develop" the filling's. is a relief to know that opium is not sed, although it used to be formerly in England, but stringent laws broke the practice. The substances used to flavor tobacco are numerous. Every manufac-, turerlias his own formula. Vanilla iB the most common. This is employed in the form of an alcoholic tincture to flavor fillings. It is said that few cigars are free from vanilla. Its effects are not harmful if not used to excess. The tonka bean and balsam fir are used the same way for the same pur pose. Cedar oil is also introduced. The best imitator of the tobacco flavor is valerian. Valerian and vanilla are the niost valuable chemicals now in use by tobacconists. By their use the poorest stems may le converted into fair tobacco. Into cigarettes enter not only valerian and vanilla, but cascarilla bark. To niake cigars burn ammonia is used aud they are soaked in saltpetre. The latter is injurious and makes young men old with dispatch. The object of its use is to cause the cigar to burn freely. It lias IM en noticed by some Bmokers that an intoxicating effect has been pro duced by dipping the fillings in a salution of sulphuric ether and bromide of potas sium. When it is know that rum is used, with vanilla and valerian, it is nothing to wonder at tliat tho cigars so treated pro duce intoxication. To make tobacco, or aid in its adulteration, such other things as potato leaves, sugar, potash, tomar inns, aniseed, gum and various oils not heretofore mentioned are used to a great er or lest extent. In New York alone 8:*),(kit),000 cigars are made annually, be sides 229,800,000 cigarettes, and 25,000 persons are employed. Funny Fancies. Live within your income.

This isn't a Hayes administration. Adam, of all husbands, was the least henpecked. Whenever Eve would begin to remind him of his shortcomings, he had only to say, "Madame, I hope you liavn't forgtten that little affair of the apple." Yes," said the country member, "I went to tliat variety show because I felt sure tliere'd le nobody there who knew 1110! Durned if pretty much the whole legislature washx there!" Dr. Rogers mentions a Kincardinestine husbandman who was expressing to his minister the high opinions he had of his personal virtues, and he wound up his eulogy by saving, "An" a'wavs, and specially, liked your sterling independ ence, sir. I lwie a'wavs said sir, that y neither fear God nor man." Governor Porter, of Indiana, is one of the most graceful impromptu speakers in the country, but he and his friends ac knowledge that when he besan his ad dress to ttie inmates ot the State prison, not long ago, by saying "lam glad to see so many of you" here," ho was Doth am biguous and equivocal.

Saline county Union. Mr. W. W. Tatro, proprietor of tho creamery in Crete, gave the writer some details of a personal experience, whicn are of sufficient interest to warrant publication, Mr. Tatro said that some time since he fell and hurt his back The hurt proved to be a serious one, and he very speedily became frightfully sore and was soon in" a terrible condition. He could not move his person an inch, and eventually, through sympathy, his whole person became sensitive and sore. The medical attention which he had, although first-class, seemed inadequate to giv him relief. At last he took his case in his ow hands, and ordered tho use of the Great German Remedy, St. Jacobs Oil. The result was nothing less than marvelou With the first application Mr. Tatro sai that he experienced relief. Two or three more applications of tho "great soother and healer" greatly benefitted him, and two bottles entirely cured him. He say he considers his cure a very remarkable one, and knows that it was due entirely to the splendid power of St. Jacobs Oil Since his restoration he has never been without the remedy in the house, and lias seen happy effects from its applica tion for other forms of pains. Mr- Tatro stated that his wife has been a great suffer re from neuralgia. Shortly after hisow remarkable cure she was seized with this terrible malady and prettv soon her suf ferings became terrible. He opened his bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and rubbed it on his wife's temples and forehead, and had tho satisfaction of witnessing her com plete relief in fifteen minutes. Mr. Tatro says he is convinced there is nothing equal to St. Jacobs Oil in the speedy reliel and cure of pain. As tho time is fast ap proaching when rheumatic and neuralgic pain will be prevalent, the above may direct our people who suffer to a remedy which may save them much suffering and expense.
