An Englishman and a Garman.

Not long ago I chanced to be speaking with a Prussian gentleman about the ill-feeling which existed at that time between his country and Russia, which seemed likely enough to culminate in hostilities. He assured me that the ill-feeling was entirely on the Russian side. “We have nothing against them,” he declared, “and we want nothing from them; but they are angry with us, and that is easily explained. They cannot get on without us; they are obliged to employ our people everywhere instead of their own, and they are furious because they have to acknowledge the superiority of the German intellect.” I remarked that the superiority of the German intellect was manifest; whereupon he shrugged his shoulders quickly, and snorted in the well-known Prussian fashion, as who would say, “Could any one be such a fool as to doubt it ?” I went on to observe that in philosophy, science, and music Germany led mankind. He agreed with me, and added: “Also in the art of war.” “The Germans,” 1 proceeded, “are the best educated people in the world,” and he replied: “Nodoubt.” “And they are the pleasantest company.” “Certainly,” answered he, “that is so." “And what adds much to the attractiveness of their conversation,” I continued, “is their delicate wit and keen perception of irony.” I confess that after I had made this outrageous speech I shook in my shoes and looked down at my plate. I ought never to have said it, and indeed I would not have said it if he had not led me on until it became irresistible. But there was no occasion for alarm. When I raised my eyes to my neighbor’s face I found it irradiated with smiles. He laid his hand on my arm quite affectionately. “What you say is certainly true,” he cried; “but do you know you are the first stranger I have ever met who has had the sense to discover it?” And he then explained to me that the Germans were absurdly considered by Frenchmen and other superficial observers to be a rather - dull-witted and heavy race. Now I really do not see how any one is to help liking a nation that is so happily self-complaoent.— Cornhill.

The Boiling Lake of Dominica..

A glan*ee into the infernal caldron that lies before us informs us that we are standing here at the mouth of a a still active volcano. The basin of the lake lies in the midst of a deep, steeply descending cup, the crater, to which two streams come -from the north. One of tho streams brings cold chalybeate ■water, and runs by the basin to unite •with its warm effluent; the other, bringing warm water, empties into the boiling lake. On the south side of the crater jgaps an opening in the wall ■which .constitutes the outlet of the lake. St is of quite recent origin, for it dates only from the catastrophe of 1880, in whidh the valley forest was destroyed. Previous to this time the area of the kike was about three times as great as it is now, when its diameter is only about forty-five paces. In the center-of the basin is a geyser issuing from* mound of black mud, which, •when we observed it, spouted to a height* of some fifteen or twenty feet. Other* observers have given it a height of from sixty to a hundred feet. In the interior of the mud-heap of the geyser we remained, whenever tho wind Blew the steam away, a kind of tufaoeous structure, of which we were not able to learn anything more exactly, Great masses of sulphurous gas escape .over the wrhole surface of the basin (from the black, muddy fluid, and keep up a loud roaring and humming, which * only heightens the dismal aspect of the whole place..— Anon.

Out of Tune.

When the tones of a musical instrument become harsh and discordant, we say it is “out of tune." The same may be said of that far more wonderful and complicated piece of mechanism, the human structure, when it becomes disordered. Not only actual disease, but those far more common causes, overwork, mental anxiety, and fast living, may impair its \vigor and ;actiyity. The best remedy for a partial collapse of tlio vital energies, from these as from other sources is Hostetter's Stomach Bittars, which is at the same time an agreeable and mind cheering cordial, and the best possible invigorant in ah cases -of debility. It is an incomparable stomachic And anti-bilious nsedicine. eradicates fever and Ague, and prevents subsequent attacks. It remedies with certainty and thoroughness bowel and kidney complaints, dyspepsia, nervousness, rheumatic troubles, denralgia, and ina»y other bodily ailments. It also counteracts influences w hioh predispose .to disease. In other words, but of the same meaning, the Creator has said that the person who works six days of the week to strike oil requires rest upon the seventh day, and, in my opinion, he struck the iron while it was hot that time, too. Never trade mules with a man who can’t whistle.

The Land of Promise.

A rich and largely unoccupied country lying in Northern Nebraska, for hundreds of miles along the Dakota line, and extending through several tiers of counties back from it, is inviting the enterprising settler from the East to come in and till the soil. Nothing finer in the way of a promising agricultural field is to be found anywhere. The soil is extremely fertile, the climate pleasant in summer, and not too rigorous in winter, and facilities for marketing products becoming better and better all the time. Into this region there has been a steady stream of immigration pouring for the past two years, which may now be said to be at its height. The character of this population is the same as of the best agricultural communities of Illinois or Ohio. In fact, it is from these and their adjoining States that this increase of population in the region described is mainly derived. Whole colonies from these older Western States go bodily into this garden of the Missouri Valley and locate their possessions. The present time is most opportune for the purpose, since the railroad which has been pushed forward through this fertile land has now penetrated to the tcwn of Valentine, to which point it is in regular operation, while the grading has been done one hundred miles beyond, and still beyond one hundred and fifty miles more are under contract. In Northwestern Nebraska the road is to turn northward, passing through the Dakota counties of Fall River, Custer, and Pennington, to Rapid City, in the mining country. Through the entire region traversed by this railroad, finished and projected, towns are springing up in that almost magical fashion which is characteristic of Western railroad development. The population is increasing in the same manner, and homes, stores, schools, and churches are going up on every hand. This is the place for the printer who wishes to do something for himself. The people who are going in are a reading people. They have been accustomed to those necessities of civilization, the school, the church, and the newspaper, and they are prepared to welcome and encourage the man who comes among them to give them either. The printer who has toiled for years in an older community, getting little or nothing ahead of the point reached long ago, goes in with the tide, and is soon found enlarging the first plant, increasing the size of the first paper, and likely enough starting another in the new town close by. Shrewd Horace Greeley’s advice is not yet outgrown: “Go West, young man. Go West, and grow up with the country.”— Publishers’ Monthly.

Of *ll sounds, the howl of « dog is the most dismal. Dogs, although frolicsome by nature, are subjected to fits of melancholy. At such times they are acquainted with grief, and regardless pf a good appetite -and superb digestion, a hoarndl will leave -a choice selection of dead horse, ntand on a knoll where moonbeams fall upon him and howl until a person unacquainted with his habits would think lie was pouring out the last wailings of a mashed soul. When a brindle dog howls, it is -a sign that a tall man with -dark hair and ebon sediment under the finger nails is going to die* disagreeable and unsolicited death; but if a yellow dog opens in high note vocalization, the fat man with a perceptible impediment in his locomotion is in danger. Just before the late war, it was observed that the unemployed ■dogs of the country did a great deal of howling:; and itwas afterward observed that quite a number of men had died. If there be an animal that *deserves unconditional extermination, it is the howling dog.— Arkansaw Traveler.

If you are going South or-West, do not forget the Chicago and Alton Railroad. A ride over it will do you good.

Is It Not Singular

that consumptives should be the least apprehensive of their own condition, while all their friends are urging- and beseeching them to be more careful about exposure and overdoing? It may well be considered one of the most alarming symptoms of the disease, where the patient is reckless and will not believe that he is in danger. Reader, if you are in this condition, do not neglect the only means of recovery. Avoid exposure and fatigue, be regular in your habits, and use faithfully of Dr. Fierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery.” It has saved thousands who were steadily failing. What is my opinion of honesty? It is selling sugar with sand in it at the market price of sand. Don’t hawk, hawk, blow, spit and disgust everybody with your offensive breath, but use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and end it. What is iny opinion of harmony? It Is lovers drinking moonlight from each other’s eyes.

ALMOST GONE, Bat the Minister’s Last Call Postponed —Remarkable Recovery of a Lady who was Pronounced Beyond Hope of Recovery. A well-known business man of New Hartford, Conn., writes as follows to Dr. David Kennedy, of Bondooit, N. Y.: “A few months ago I let a neighbor of ocirs have some of your ‘Favorite Remedy,’ out of a bottle we kept for our own use, to fry for some transient trouble. That neighbor induced a sis-ter-in-law, who lay almost at the point of death, to test its efficacy for her disease. For weeks previous she could not eat anything without experiencing great distress, and the medicine given her by her physicians afforded no help, and often seemed to increase her distress. It was thought she had Cancer of the Stomach, and at the time of which I write friends had sent for her pastor to make what it was believed would be his last calk This lady recovered, and is now comparatively well, and says she would not be without ‘Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy,’ no matter what its cost might be. You cannot advertise it too highly.” Dr. Kennedy’s “Favorite Remedy” is a specific for all Diseases of the Blood, such ad the ills peculiar to females, and is invaluable in all Diseases of the Kidneys and Liver.

The doctor can’t get any credit for curing me; it is your medicine that has done me more good than anything I have ever taken.’’ A Dressmaker in Findlay, Ohio, says: “I have derived so great a benefit from the use of your Vegetable Compound that I reconunend it in the strongest terms, with the utmost confidence, and am sure it will cure the most stubborn cases.

It is an acknowledged fact that man possesses the power of endurance to a greater degree than any of the lower animals. Professional pedestrians have been known to walk an average of one hundred miles per day for six consecutive days, which would be a wonderful accomplishment for a horse, and surpass all the known records of that useful animal. Of course a man possessing the power of endurance to its fullest extent must be in perfect health. One who is troubled with weak urinary and digestive organs, whose pulse is irregular, whose heart palpitates, and who feels a sense of burdensome fatigue after the least exertion, would be very unwise to compete in a pedestrian contest. Should you suffer from a want of endurance, you can regain robust health and strength by using Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. This remedy has saved thousands of weak, nervous, debilitated, rickety head-aching mortals to lives of usefulness and the full enjoyment of perfect health. It removes all blood impurities, aches, pains, sores, pimples, etc., and assists nature in controlling and supporting an harmonious routine of bodily functions, so essential to every one*s physical welfare. ,
