A BRAVE VOYAGER.

Capt. Paul Hoy ton has figured in many thrilling adventures. Aloue at night uiioii dark aud freezing waters, uucertaiu as to liis course, with not a btar vi-ible in the Id ick vault above him, he has puss hi fearlessly through dangers that would cause one less lion-hearted to quake with terror. His nomadio career has led him on many occasions into daring exploits, the mere mention of which is sufficient to send a shiver through the listener—such, for instance, as making the risky passage of the shark-infested bay iu Florida, or paddling from continent to continent across tbe treacherous Straits of Gibraltar. Paul Boytou’s stout spirit has kept him undaunted by perils, aud he has proven his bravery almost to foolhardiness. Sever but once has the brave voyager feared that the mantle of death was about to infold him. aud, curiously enough, this exception happened iu sunny Spain. The adventure occurred iu January, ’77. In that year Boy ton, who had descended the Tiber, Thames, Danube and other rivers, had been surfeited with ribbons, medals, aud decorations, and was generally looked upon as a demi-god, in the exuberance of his confidence declared that he would make the descent of the Tagus.

“The rash stranger to float in his devil’s dress down the Tagus! ” cried the start ed senoras, when the wonderful story was whispered about. “ The terrible Tagus ! He does not mean it. He would perish of cold. The furious waters w< >uld rend him to shreds against ttio sharp rocks. What manner of man is this mad young American ? ” The public laughed at the idea. This Americau had the heart of a lion, but was as wise as the ostrich that thinks to conceal itself from the hunter by burying its head in the sand. As well might he attempt to reach the bowels of the earth by passing salamauiauder-like through the fiery Vesuvius. Did he know that the river sped as an arrow through a wild region fraught with peril, and that fir hundreds of miles it darted through frightful canyons ? How many unlucky souls had launched their boats upon its fickle waters and had never again been seen in mortal form ! Did not the mothers of Toledo awe tlieir babes to sleep with tales of the mysterious river—of its terrible demon, whose shrieks of inhuman laughter were often heard by belated shepherds in the midst of th i st. >rrns that on sultry summer nights broke over the Tagus? Surely El CapitaD would admit that he only been joking. But the Captain had not been joking, and intonated very plainly that the person who would accuse him of such was what no Spaniard is called without clapping Ins hand on his dagger. Boyton had said he woutd descend the Tagus, and, be there 100 falls or 10,000 goblins, he would brave all and make the voyage or perish iu attempting it. The maxim death before dishonor found particular favor with the Spaniards, and in short order the current of popular opinion whirled around, so that those who had used every effort to dissuade the Captain from his undertaking suddenly became its warmest supporters. The remainder of this narrative is best told in Capt. Boyton’s words. “On the 7th of January, 1877,” he says, “ I began my journey down the Tagus. The weather was extremely cold, and a dull leaden sky seemed to the shivering throng around me ominous of my fate. With many adieus I slowly paddled from the shore into the center of the stream, which was shallow and narrow. The senoritas on the banks waved their bright-colored scarfs, and I think I noticed some of them weeping. My joints were rather stiff from want ol practice, and to restore warmth to my boJy I rapidly increased the power of my stroke. J igged stones were distributed wiih a rather too prodigal band, as I thought, in the course I was to take, and iu my anxiety to keep my eyes fixed on the dear friends lining the shore against these I several times bumped my head witli unpleasant velocity. Too soon a bend in the stream shutout the group from view. Lift to my own rest ictious, I began to speculate on the chaucc s of success or failure. I thought of my distant home, and a shiver crept through me as I deemed to see with startling distinctness my upturned body, pulseless and inanimate, tossed high on some barren rock by a treacherous rapid. I cannot tell why my mind ran on such horrible ideas. Neither befo e nor since have I felt the same degree of doubt, fear, indecision, perplexity. Iu my little tender I carried the usual supply of precautionary articles. I had plenty of food—bat of such a quality! In a water-tight bag were a piece of dried meat—it might have been horse flesh, from its cohesiveness; about tnree pounds of a species of hard tack as obstinate as a rock, and a dozen loaves of alleged bread, soaked to repulsiveness in rancid oil. As I banqueted on these dainties I consoled myself with the trite-maxim that visitors to

Borne should model their actions alter the example of that city’s inhabitants. “The Tagus is perhaps the most remarkable river I ever navigated. I left Toledo, in Spain, and paddled down through that country and Portugal to the Atlantic ocean, a distance of Bpo miles. For 7UO miles it is not navigable for vessels, but wiuds in an eiratio unit—to me—annoying manner through the most weird scenery that Spain possesses. Between Toledo and the ocean its descent is 3,600 feet. At its source and for a short distance down its shores are lined with luxuriant trees and grasses, but soon these utterly disapCr, giving way to arid and stony ks, which in torn grow into precipitous mountain sides. For the first three days I paddled along satisfactorily, but as the number of days since I began my journey increased my troubles augmented. Then my course wound through a continued series of canyons, whose gloomy walls were in places so bigu and steep that they almost met and nearly hid the sunlight from the yawning chasm beneath. Toward night it required no great stretch of fancy for me to imagine that I was being swiftly carried along through a mysterious passage. The riv?r was studded with bowlders, hurled from the mountain tops by fearful storms, and often as I was bowled along under the pressure of the roaring wind and rushing current I was thrown against one of these obstaoles and my senses nearly shaken from me. “To increase my p n ril the liver was full of falls and rapids of unusual violence. In places a shallow current would dart toward the rooky mountain side and then turn at a sharp angle and merge into a deep and peaceful sheet of water. I blessed these havens for they afforded me a chance of taking much-needed rest. Looking into their clear depths I could see hideous fish darting about, but the bottom was a fathomless pit. Words are wanting to picture the loneliness of my situat on. For ten days I saw not a shrub, not a blade of grass, not a single sign of man’s abode. My diet was nanseatiug and I felt with alarm that I was gradually losing my strength. “ One day, it was the twelfth of my journey, as I was floating on the bosom of a sort of lake, suddenly I was plunged head-first over a fall and struck with such force against the precipitous wall of the canyon that I lost consciousness. Happily my rubber suit saved me from what would have been otherwise a certain death. I recovered my senses after an interval, I know not how long, and, with a prayer on my lips, was about to resume my voyage, when to my horror I found that my tender was lost! It hud been sucked into a whirlpool, prob ably, and the current was rapidly bearing 1 me away lrom the scene. I was nearly frantic. My tender was gone, my hopes were blasted, my life was not worth a straw ! The contents of the little float were at that moment as precious to me as all the wealth that a King could bestow.

“I paddled on for several hours, trusting to fiud a way out of the river. It I could only find a shepherd generous enough to share with me his frugal meal I was saved. But my hopes were vain. Encumbered by my rubber armor, with waning strength and tremulous movements I made many futile attempts to clamber the slippery mountain sides, but iu every case I tumbled back into the river exhausted. For three days I was ushered on, I knew not how, by the impetuous waters. I was ravenous with hunger, my limbs quivered like aspens, a chill sweat oozed all over my body, and my brain was delirious. I swore like a madman, heaped maledictions upon the Tagus, and at times sang wild snatches of song. To this day I cannot account for the supernatural strength given me during those seventy-two hours of agony. The howling of wolves and the hooting of owls during the nights heightened the somber current of my reflection. On the morning of the third day, just after daylight* I entered the canyon of Cosaras. 1 swallowed a pint or two of lYatcr and Btood upright iu my rubber suit. I listened for the tinkling of a bell, or some sound that would give a token of a habitation. Nothing broke the silence but the distant fall of waters. As I sank back into the river, in despair, to my joy I thought I saw a thin veil of smoke coming over the edge of the high plateau and fdling on the water. My heart beat rapidly as I paddled on for five minuses in the direciion of the smoke. At last I saw the bluish haze rising from behind a gigantic rock. With accelerated steps I left the river and clambered along the rooky bank. Several times I slipped and fell, receiving numerous bruises.

“ I was compelled to make many detours to reach the plateau, but fiually reached it, almost dead from fatigue. I peered arouud the edge of the large rock that I had observed and saw the tire which caused the smoke. A large pot was suspended from a tripod over a fire kindled with sticks and matted grass. The pot contained what I now believe to have been a mess hardly fit for dogs, but which I then judged from the greasy odor to be hardly second to the dish of the gods. Two men, in active conversation, stood near the fire, with their backs toward me, and one of them stirred the savory mess while he talked. They were dressed in the garb of mountaineers, and were most probably shepherds. Both were clothed in faded garments, but all the colors' of the rainbow were there, more or less obscured by the dirt of years. My hunger was so I introduced mvself without the tedious ceremonials so highly apprecia'ed in Spanish society. I inflated my dress, and, standing forth in full view, let my paddle fall to the ground. Startled by the noise, the men turned about and gazed at me in superstitious terror. With shrieks of fear they swiftly turned about and scampered off at the top of their speed. Then I went over to the pot and ravenously devoured its lialf-cooked contents, scorching my throat and spilling half of the food. 1 never saw my impromptu hosts after, nor did I care to see them, in fact. After my repast I disrobed of my armor, and, stretching at full length on the Bward. was soon slumbering. When I awoke I hid my rubbef covering and walked for a few miles, when I came to a farm house and managed to buy another lot of greasy bread and indigestible hardtack. From this point to its mouth the river was navigable and I never more was troubled about food. Ou the eighteenth day I arrived at my journey’s end. I was met by the Governor of Oasaras, his suite and many ladies and gentlemen who had anxiously been expecting me. The whole party rode on gayly caparisoned mutes to the castle of the Governor, where I received a royal welcome and rested for a fortnight. Thus ended my navigation of the Tagus, the first and only time that a man had ever descended that terrible river from its source.to its mouth. Perhaps after many days the story will be toid in whispers among the Spanish peasantry of how, once upon a time, while two mountaineers of Casaras were cooking their morning meal, the devil appeared to them in a horrible form, horns, hoof and tail, surrounded by fire, and caused them to flee for their lives.” Gkief never sleeps ; it watches continually, like a jealous husband. All the world groans under its sway ; and it fears that, by sleeping, its clutch will become loosened, and its prey then escape.

BITS OF INFORMATION.

The largest school in the world is In Egypt As XiATE as the time of James L the disposal of the hand of a young orphan heiress lay with the King. The salary of the President of the Republic of France is fixed at 600,000 franca, with an additional allowance of 300,000 francs for household expenses. The first base-ball dab was the Knickerbocker, of New York, that is, the first one to sustain a permanent existence in the United States. It was started in the year of 1845, and has continued its existence, we believe, ever since. The same, however, did not become the national one until many years afterward. The first meteoric shower which attracted attention in modern times was that witnessed by the Moravian missonanes, in Greenlaud, in 1790. This phenomenon was observed over a wide extent of territory. Humboldt, then traveling in South America, said : “ Toward tue morning of Nov. 13, a most extraordinary scene of shooting stars was seen. Thousands of bodies and falling stars succeeded each other daring four hoars. Their direction was very regular, from north to south; from the beginning of the shower there was not a space in the firmament eqnal in extent to three diameters of the moon which was not filled every instant with bodies of falling stars. All the meteors left luminous traces or phosphorescent bands behind tbem, wliicn lasted seven or eight seconds.

The origin of the expression “ Go to Halifax ”is as follows : The evil repute of Halifax implied in this old usage came to it by inheritance from Halifax, in Yorkshire, England, and is not a thing to be ashamed of. Halifax law, as may be gathered from a letter of Lord Leicester’s, quoted by Motley in his “ History of the United Netherlands,” was that criminals should be “condemned first and inquired upon alter,” in which it resembled “ Jedburg justice.” Halifax lay within the forest of Hardwick, the customary law of which was that if a felon were taken with 13i pence worth of goods, stolen within iJiut liberty, he should be tried by four frith burghers from four of the precinct towns, and, if condemned by them, hanged the next market day. An ter which the caie might be sent to a jury I Halifax also had the credit of inventing the rude guillotine of Manuaye, which the liegent, Earl of Morton, introduced iuto Scotland, only to hive his own head chopped off with it. Naturally, Halifax was a place of terror to rogues.

To Dr. Edward Jenner is due the credit of discovering and introducing vaccination into general practice, fie was seven years in the serwtee of a surgeon at Sudbury, near Bristol, England, or from the time he was 14 till he was 21 years old, and while there his attention was directed to the subject of a preventive of small-pox. While in his master’s surgery one day he heard a young countrywoman say that she could not tuke small-pox because she had already had the cow-pox, a mild disorder of the eruptive kmd appearing on the udder of the animal, and communicated in a similar form to their hands ; that it had never been known to prove fatal when thus communicated; and that the belief was common among the agricultural classes that whoever had taken the disease was secure against the infection of small-pox. He continued to investigate the cause, and so confident was he, finally, that several experiments were made upon his son, a boy under 6 years of age. It was not, however, until over twenty-five years of observations and experiment that his views were adopted, and then the sentiment was as much in favor of Iris plan as it had been against it before.

Anecdotes of the Horse.

The fidelity of the horse is a favorite theme of the naturalist. Frequently, a dog or a cat is the object of the attachment, probably from the fact that those are the animals they are chiefly brought into coutaet with; but their devoteduess to their masters or attendants and their gentleness to children have formed the groundwork of a hundred tales. Youatt mentions many instances of attachment between horses and animals of other species, such as that of Duncannon, a well-known racer, for a sheep, which it would lift into the manger to share its fodder; but would permit no one else to molest it in any way. Chillaby, another famous horse, which only one groom ever dared to approach, had also a favorite lamb that it loved and tended with paternal affection. A wonderful anecdote of affection in horses is told by Monsieur de Bonssanelle, and although it is not an instance of friendsliip between animals of oppo site tribes it is too appropriate to om theme to be overlooked. This gentleman a cavalry officer, mentions that a horse belonging to his company, being, from old age, unable to eat its hay or chew its >ats, for two whole months was fed by two horses, one on each side of it, who tte from the same manger. These two noble creatures drew the hay out of the rack, chewed it, and put it iutaet before the old horse, and did the same with the oats, which he was then able to eat. Youatt, it is presumed, is the authority for an account of the way in which a colt repaid the kindness and care of a farmer's boy who fed it. One day the boy was pursued by an infuriated bull, and contrived to reach a ditch and get into it before his pursuer oould overtake him. The bull endeavored to gore him, and would, it is believed, have succeeded, had not the colt come to his assistance. This grateful little animal assaulted the bull, screaming so loudly all the while that some laborers were attracted to the pot, and rescued the lad from his perilous position.

HE DID NOT MINCE MATTERS.

A representative of the Lynn (Mass.) Item, in a late ramble throughout that city, gathered, among other scraps of interest and information, the following: The first place visited by the reporter was the fruit store of Mr. J. Levett, No. 67 Market street, in response to a rumor that the proprietor had been cured of the rheumatism by the great remedy. Mr. Levett not being in, the reporter had a talk with his son. Mr. Levett stated that his father had been cured of an exceedingly bad attack of rheumatism by the St. Jacobs Oil. He had the disease in his right arm and shoulder, which became perfectly helpless after being affected a few hours. His pain was so great that he could not rest in comfort or attend to business with any degree- of satisfaction. After enduring this sort of thing for some time, he purchased a bottle of me great German Remedy and began to apply it. He did not mince matters at all, but just nsed the Oil for all it was worth. After pursuing this mode of treatment for three days the pain was banished and his father was in a perfectly healthy condition. He has never sinoe felt any rheumatic pain.

Rare American Coins.

The rarest United States coin is the double eagle of 1849, of which there is only one in existence, belonging to the United States mint cabinet The next in rarity is the half-eagle of 1815, for one of which it is said the King of Sweden, to complete his collection of United States coinß, paid the enormous prioe of $2,000. Only five known specimens of this half-eagle are in existence. Another rare coin is the silver dollar of 1804. There are but ten genuine pieces, all of which are now held by collectors. Several restrikes have been made, but to obtain a fine one from the original die would cost at least SI,OOO. The half dollars of 1796 and 1797, if in fine condition, bring S4O; of the two the 1798 is the rarest, and usnally sells at a still higher rate. The quarter-dollars of 1823 and 1827,.

if in good condition, sell readily at S3O each; but, if in strictly fine preservation, double that sum is cheerfully paid. Of the dimes there are none of extreme rarity; still, among the rare coins of that denomination, that of 1804 is the rarest, and if in a good condition it can be bought at from $5 to $lO, but a real fine specimen would bring a great deal more. Among the half-dimes that of 1802 is the rarest, and a very fine piece with that date sells readily at sloo. Philadelphia Record.

The Moorish Role in Spain.

On the north of Africa settled the lurid farm of the Arabian orescent, one horn reaching to the Bosphorus and one pointing to the Pyrenees. Scarcely had the Arabs become firmly settled in Spain before they commenced a brilliant career. Cordova, under their administration, at its highest point of prosperity, boasted of more than 200,000 houses, and more than 1,000,000 of inhabitants. After sunset, a man might walk through it in a straight line for ten miles by the light of the public lamps. Seven hundred years alter this time there was not so much as one public lamp in London. Its streets were solidly paved. In Paris, centimes subsequently, whoever stepped over his threshold on a rainy day stepped up to his ankles in mud. The Spanish Mohammedans had brought with them all, the luxuriee and prodigalities of Asia. Their residences stood forth against the dear blue sky, or were embosomed in woods. They had polished marble balconies ; overhanging orange gardens ; courts with cascades of water, shady retreats provocative of slumber in the heat of the day; retiring rooms, vaulted with stained glass, speckled with gold, over which streams of water were Tnodft to gush. The floors and walls were of exquisite mosaic. Here, a fountain of quioksilver shot up in a glistening spray, the glittering particles falling with a tranquil sound like fairy bells; there, apartments into which 000 l air was drawn from flower gardens, in summer by means of ventilating towers, and in the winter through earthen pipes, or caleducts, imbedded iu tue waifs—the hypocanst, in the vaults below, breathing forth volumes of warm and perfumed air through these hidden passages. The walls were not covered with wainsoot, but adorned with arabesques, and paintings of agricultural scenes and views of paradise. From the oeiliugs, corniced with fretted gold, great chandeliers hung, one of whioh, it is said, contained I,oß# lamps. Clusters of frail marble columns surprised the beholder with the vast weights they bore. In the boudoirs of the sulianas they were sometimes of verd antique, and incrusted with ladis lazuli. The furniture was of sandal and citron wood, inlaid with mother of pearl, ivory, silver, or relieved with gold and precious malachite. In orderly confusion were arranged vases of rock crystal, Chinese porcelains, and tallies of exquisite mosaic. The winter apartments were hung with rich tapestry; the floors were covered with embroidered Persian carpets. Pillows aud couohes, of elegant forms, were scattered about the rooms, which were perfumed with frankincense. There were whispering galleries for the amusement < f the women; labvrinths and marble play courts for the children ; for the master himself, grand libraries. The Khalif Alhakem’s was so large that the catalogue alone filled forty volumes. He had also aoartments for the transcribing!, binding, and ornamenting of books. Across the Pyrenees, literary, pliilosophical, and adventurers were perpetually passing, and thus the luxury, the taste, and above all, the chivalrous gallantry and elegant courtesies of Moorish society found their way from Granada and Cordova to Provence and Languedoc. The refined society of Cordova prided itself on its politeness. A gay contagion also spread from the beautiful Moorish miscreants to their sisters beyond the mountains. The South of France was full of the witoheries of female fascinations, and of dancing to the flute and mandolin. Even in Italy and Sicily the love-song became the.favorite composition; aud out of these genial but not orthodox beginnings the polite literature of modem Europe arose.— Draper's “Intellectual Development .”

The Boiling-Point.

Dr. F. A. P. Barnard, who is a high authority, has contributed to Johnson's an interesting article on the boilingpoint, describing it as the temperature at which the elastic force of the vapor of any liquid is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere. When a vessel containing water is heated, the temperature rises and a vapor silently passes off from the surface ; but at 212 deg. F., or 100 deg. C. the barometric column standing at thirty iuches at the sea-level, steam begins to be formed in bursts at the bottom, and rising through the liquid, throws it into commotion. If the steam is allowed freely to escape, the temperature of the water rises no higher. The wa! er is then said to boil, and the temperature at which it remains is its boiling point. Every liquid has a boilingpoint of its own, which will be seen by the following table :

Deg- Deg. Liquid sulphurous Water 212.0 acid 17.6 Butyric ether .238.8 Aldehyde 71.8 Perchloride of tin 240.2 Ether 96.3 Terchloride of arCarbon bisulphido..llß.s senic 273.0 Acetone 133.3 Bromide of silicon ....308.0 Bromine 145.5 Terebeue 322.9 Wood spirit 151.3 Naphthalin 422.2 Ethylic alcohol 173.0 Sulphuric acid 620.0 Benzole 177.4 Mercury 662.0 The boiling-point of liquids is altered by various circumstances. Water, with common salt in it, requires greater heat to moke it boil than pure water. In a glass vessel the boiling-point is several degrees higher than in one of metal. But what most affects the boiling-point is variation of pressure. When the barometer stands at thirty inches, showing an atmospheric pressure of fifteen pounds on the square inch, the boilingpoint ol water is 212 degrees. When part of the pressure is removed, it boils before coming to 212 degrees, and when the pressure is increased the boilingpoint rises. Thus in elevated positions, where there is loss air above the liquid to press on it, the boiling-point is lower than at the level of the sea. An elevavfttion of 510 feet makes a diminution of one degree Fahrenheit; at higher levels the difference of elevation corresponding to a degree of temperature in the boiling point increases; and a method is thus furnished of measuring the height of mountains. At the city of Mexico, 7,471 feet above the level of the sea, water boils at 198.1 deg. ;at Quito, 9,541 feet, at 194 deg.; in the Himalayas, at the height of 18,000 feet, at 180 deg. Boiling water is thus not always equally hot, and in elevated places many substances cannot be cooked by boiling. Under the receiver of an air-pump water may be made to boil at the temperature of summer, and ether when colder than ice. By increasing the pressure water may be heated to any degree without boiling. There are one or two interesting experiments mentioned by Dr. Barnard. If a small quantity of water be poured iuto a silver basin heated above the boiling-point, but below redness, it will begin to boil violently, or perhaps burst into steam at once. But if the basin is heated to redness, the water will gather itself into a globule, and roll abont on the hot surface without coming to the boding point. It is remarkable that water which has been freed from air by long boiling has its boiling-point much raised ; and it has been known to reach 275 degrees Fahrenheit without boiling. —Chicago Inter-Ocem. “ Tib more brave to live than to die.” Therefore don’t wait till a slight Congh develops itself into consumption, bat secure a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup at the small outlay of 25 cents, care your Cough and live on happily.

A Dog Story.

A canine tragedy dbcorred on Chestnut street, above Fortieth. A young lady, daintily wrapped in fan, was tripping along toward the park, and at her heels was an exceedingly handsome pug dog, with a snout of exceptional tiptiitednees and a tad of corkscrew perfection. The petted animal was amply protected from the weather by a warm body-ooat of thick cloth, trimmed with blue, while a collar of silver, with jingling bells, adorned bis bull-like neck. A. large dog of the retriever species approached in the opposite direction. He had a particularly blackguard demeanor. His back was coated with mud and his eyes gleamed with general depravity. He looked what he evidently was, a vagabond, ownerless dog in search of a bone, He, however, made friendly overtures to the aristocratic png, which were repulsed with a growl and a disdainful snap. The vagabond lost his temper. He seized the dog by one of his minute ears, and a chorus of barks and growls from the canine and screams from the fair owner filled the air. The vagabond evidently bad fell and sinister intents; he relaxed his hold on the png’s ear and took a firm grip of the png’s tail, and before he could be driven away, by a valiant Praia reporter who came to the rescue of the wniling young lady and her pet, the cannibal canine bit off the curled caudal appendage of bis tiuy victim, and ran at full 6peed with the lopped limb in his month. The unhappy damsel lifted her wounded dumb friend from the ground and hastened toward a neighboring drug store. The reporter, seeing that his services could be of no further avail, got into a street car driving in the direction taken by the villainous retriever, and in a few minutes he drove pnst that disreputable animal crouched in a well-pro-tected coruer, with the remains of the pug’s tail between his paws, upon wliioii he was finishing his New Year’s dinner with evident relish. — Philadelphia Press.

When night fell he had his sketch half done, and the next morning he returned to finish it. Meanwhile, the owner had “tidied up” the place by grubbing up the vines, scraping off the moss and giving the stones a fine coat of whitewash.

Special Cars.

Two European ladies enjoy the distinction of a railway carriage of their very own. One is the Baroness Rothschild, who has a perfect boudoir on wheels, in which she can enjoy the comforts of home while flying at express speed; the other is Mrs. J. W. Mackay, who, according to a Paris paper, has a carriage which is like a palace in its fairy appointments and decorations, costing SBO,OOO, beside an annual tax of $2,000 for keeping it in running order, and a large additional charge for the cost of transportation. Mb. John N. McFarland, of Ashland, Ky., writes : “ I will say of what sickness I was cured. My back ached so. I coaid hardly bond it. My kidneys were weak and inactive. My liver and stomach gave me great pain. My bowels wire sometimes loose and sometime constipated. I was very nervous. I could not sleep well nights. My dreams were horrible. My memory was bad. My whole system was run down and my blood seemed poisoned. I took no pleasure in eating. I found no joy in living. t)r. Guysotfs Yoilow Dock and Sarsaparilla cured me of all my distress. I think it is tbe best medic-no in the world.”

“ I'vpa notion,” Said Neptune, “ To have a calm ocean.” And with a calm motion lie stilled the commotion, And made a calm ocean. “ I’ve a notion,” Said the whale, “ To have a commotion And then with his tail He broke the calm ocean (’Twas not a calm motion), And made a commotion AU through the calm ocean. Mr. Christie, the new Astronomer Royal for England, is inclined to think that most stars fluctuate slightly in magnitude, “ not to any great amount, bnt still to such an extent that we ought not to adopt any single star as a constant of magnitude.”

A Dangerous Remedy.

The extensive use into which bromide of potassium baa come renders the assertion of Herr Masohke, a well-known German chemist, of great importance. He says that this bromide is of remarkably sedative quality, is largely contaminated with lead, adding that the samples he tested could not be reduced to a dear liquid without the addition of an acid. Lead-poisoning is a dire alternative for nervousness or sleeplessness.

William J.Coughlin,of Somerville, Mam., Baja: In the tall of 1876 I waa taken with bleeding of the lungs, followed bj a aevere cough. I loet mj appetite and fleeh, an:! waa oonfined to my bed.

Removing the Capitol. (4) A few years ago it was the fashion among a certain clique of politicians, whose utterances were echoed by a portion of the press, to clamor for the removal of the Capitol from Washington to some representative Western city near to the geographical center of the country. The topic seemed to prove a seven days' wonder, however, and was soon forgotten in the rush and requirements of the nation’s urgent business. Now whether the Capitol will ever be removed or not is not near so interesting a question to some people as to whether rheumatism can or will be removed from their bodies. The subject of the removal of this disease from the system has very successfully interested myriads of people, and, from the extended expressions conveyed by the almost-innumer-able statements received from representatives of every clnss of the community, we append the following brief selection—premising, for the benefit of the reader, that the disease referred to is rheumatism or neuralgia, and the remedy is that grand old panacea —St. Jacobs Oil. —The Rt. Rev. Bishop Gilmour, Cleveland, Ohio ; “Excellent for Rheumatism and kindred diseases. It has benefited me greatly."—Hon. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of Chicago: “Have used it in my family and neighborhood with remarkable results, and I think it an excellent remedy.”—John Carr Moody, Esq., Coun-eelor-at-Law, Vallejo, Cal.: “The relief afforded in a short time was such ns to make me disregard the evidence of my own senses." —Capt. Paul Boyton, the WorldRenowned Swimmer: “I do not see how I could get along without St. Jacobs Oil.”— Mr. D. W. McDonald, Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons, Ottawa, Can.: “A splendid remedy; cured rheumatism of my wrist and hand. ” —Commander J. B. Coghlan, U. S. N., Mare Island, Cal.: “Complete and wonderful cure of the most painful attacks of rheumatism.”—Wm. H. Wareing, Esq., Asst. General Supt. New York Postoffice: “Proved all that is claimed for the Oil and found efficacious. Ready relief for rheumatic pains.”—Ex-Postmas-ter Gen. James, while Postmaster of New York, tersely and characteristically indorsed Supt. Wareing’s report by writing: “I concur.”
