In Brief, and to the Point

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. The human digestive appaiatus is one of tne most 'complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tou h food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, Irregular habits, and many other things which ought not to be, have made the American pec pie a nation of dyspeptics. But Green’s August Flower has done a wonderful work iu reforming this sad business and m iking the American people so healthy th*t they can enjoy their meals and be haj , y Remembe?No happiness without health. But Green’s August Flowoi brings health and happinc-s to the dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy-five oen* j.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANE.

Am electric signal apparatus on a French railway causes the blowing of a steam whistle upon a locomotive ap Broaching a danger signal. The engiaeei te thus warned. This apparatus is found valuable in fogs and snow-storms, when ordinary signals often escape notice. The number of varieties of insects is vastly greater than that of all other living creatures. The oak supports 450 Species of insects, and 200 are found in the pine. Humboldt, in 1849, calculated that between 150,000 and 170,000 species were preserved in collections, but recent estimates place the present number at about 750,000 species. It is a very general belief that great burial places exert a noxious influence, which must render the localities very unhealthy as places of residence, This idea is shown to be a mistaken One by the results of any inquiry into the sanitary condition of the cemeteries of Paris. The composition of the air in the cemeteries is reported to be indistinguishable from that of arable lauds. Concerning the moon’s effect on tides, the Astronomer Royal for Ireland recently stated that, while the day is gradually lengthening through lunar action tides, the earth reacts on the moon and drives it away farther and farther. Looking backward, the moon must have been nearer and nearer the earth, and at one epoch in the remote ages of the past—perhaps about 50,000,900 of years ago—the two bodies Eust have been very close together, lien the day was but three hours long instead of twenty-four. At that diatant period, the earth rotated once every three hours, and the moon revolved with it in the same time. Bo near was the moon That, if there had been oceans in those da vs as now, the tides must have been Bio times as great as at the present time: and, rising to an immense height, would have swept over the whole of England.

Andul life in the Sahara is somewhat peculiar to the region, and, according to M. Vogt, the traveler is struck with the Absence of all bright colors in the animals of the desert. As a rule, their hue S proaches that of the ground, and the aptation is most remarkable in birds, reptiles, grasshoppers, etc. Black ana white exist in some animals—for laitance, the male ostrich—which have nothing to fear from enemies; and a dngle exception to the rule occurs iwnong insects the Coleop tera are ttearly.all black. To explain the existence in safety of these insects whose solor must make them conspicuous, M, Vogt states that they feign death on the tpproaoh of danger and in that state Blosely resemble the excrements of gazelles, goats, gnd sheep. This description, with their disagreeable odor, gives them Shffioient protection. The general color of the ground to the desert ■, of course that of sand.

Spiritualism to Be Investigated.

By the terms of the will of the late Henry Seybert, a rich and eccentric citizen of Philadelphia, the later years of whose life were absorbed in the vain effort to get at the truth of what is known as Spiritualism, a considerable legacy ($50,000) has been bequeathed to the university to found a professorship of intellectual and moral philosophy, with the proviso that the authorities shall undertake to make a thorough investigation of the phenomena of modem Spiritualism, and publish the evidence and the conclusions to which ii leads. The university has accepted the bequest, and has appointed a committee of five members of its faculty to conduct the investigation. This committee comprises among its members the provost (an M. D.), and the profeatrm of chemistry, social science, and tiMtany, and a tutor, who is a clergy-

Where the 914 Maids Come in.

“Do you know, sir," inquired an American tourist of his companion, while doing England, “can you inform me the reason for the fresh, healthful appearance of the English people? Their complexion is far superior to ours, or our countrymen over the herring pond.” “Well, I know what Prof. Huxley says.” “And what reason does he advance ?* “Well, Huxley says it is all owing to the old maids.” “Owing to old maids! You surprise me.” “Fact. Huxley figures it out this way. Now, you know the English are very fond of roast beef.” “But what has that to do with old maids?” “Go slow. This genuine English beef is the best and most nutritious beef in the world, and it imparts a beautiful complexion.” “Weil, ab iut the old maids?” von see the excellence of this Engl sh bee; is duo exclusively to red clover. J o you see tue.point?” “All but the old maids. They are still hovering in the shadows.” "Why, don’t you see?” This red clover is enriched, sweetened, and fructified by bumblebees.” “But where do the old maids come in?” said the inquisitive American, wiping his brow wearily. “Why, it is as plain as the nose on your face. The only enemy of the bumblebee is the field-mouse.” “But what have roast-beef, red clover, bumblebees, and field-mice got to with old maids?” “Why, you must be very obtuse. Don’t you preceive that the bumble-bees would soon become exterminated by the field-mice if it were not for ” “Old maids?” “No, if it were not for cats, and the old maids of Old England keep the country thoroughly stocked up with cats, and so we can directly trace the effects of the rosy English complexions to the benign cause of English old maid, at least that’s what Harry says about it, and that’s just where the old maids come in. Science makes dear many mysterious things,”

A Woman’s Discovery. “Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too ly a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she •lept all night and with one bottle has been miriculouslv cured Her name is Mrs Luther Lufz.” Thus write W.C Hamrick & Co. of Shelby, N C —Get a free bottle at F.

Grant, Sumner, and Stewart.

A. T. Stewart, the New York merchant prince, made large sales to the Government during the war for the suppression of the rebellion, and he displayed his gratitude by making Mrs. Lincoln handsome presents. He was also a large contributor to the fund of SIOO,OOO raised by the merchants of New York for Gen. Grant as an acknowledgment of his war services; and when the General was elected President, Mr. Stewart was selected by hiir as the man to reorganize the Treasury Department, prune off its excrescences and reform its abuses. Mr. Stewart was delighted with the offer, and had a suite of rooms in the Ebbitt House, with a private entrance, fitted up for his occupation until he could go to housekeeping. A few days before the 4th of March he came to Washington and occupied these rooms, with Judge Hilton as his companion and adviser. After the inauguration he was nominated by Gen. Grant; but Senator Sumner, who had been consulted as to the formation of the Cabinet, interposed his objection to the immediate consideration of Mr. Stewart’s nomination. Late in the afternoon of that day a rumor got abroad that there Was a law, understood to have been really written by Alexander Hamilton while Secretary of the Treasury, prohibiting an importer in active business from holding the position of Secretary of the Treasury. A newspaper correspondent obtained a copy of the law' bearing on the case and carried it to Gen. Butterfield, who conveyed it to Mr. Stewart and his legal adviser, Judge Hilton. They consulted Chief Justice Chase, and he confirmed the view which had been taken of the law by those who first brought it to Mr. Stewart’s attention. Mr. Stewart then Sroposed to retire from business and evote the entire profits that might accrue (taring the time that he should hold the office of Secretary of the Treasury to charitable objects. But this was decided to be something which would not be proper, eithter for him to carry out or for the Government to accept. Immediately after seeing Chief Justice Chase Mr. Stewart and Judge Hilton drove to the White House and laid the facts and opinions before the President, who, on the next day, wrote a message to the Senate, asking that the law of 1788 be set aside so as to allow the candidate to hold the office. This the Senate declined to do. It was a very natural ambition for a man of Mr. Stewart’s tastes and training to desire to be at the head of the Treasury, and it is not unlikely that the disappointment was a very severd one. This was the beginning of the “unpleasantness” between President Grant and Senator Sumner, which finally resulted in an open rupture.— Ben: Perley Poore, in Boston Budget.

A Group of Queens.

The queens in Southern Europe arc a remarkably interesting group of Yemen. The Queen of xtoumania, or Carmen Sylva, is not only a poetess, and full of pictures ,ue romance, but she lately underwent examination for a roma that might give her a right to certain teaching in the schools. Everybody knows of the skillful manner in which Christina, the Queen of Spain, performs her unwonted duties. And now Margaret of Savoy, the Queen of Italy, is to appear as an author, W’ith her stories founded on the legends oi the middle ages. Among the vaiiou. languages spoken fluently by this queen is English, in which she reads every new book of importance, keeping herself posted on English politics and gossip. In religious matters she is neither too liberal nor too devote, and she is a passionate patriot. In person she is lovely, fair, and bright, more graceful than majestic, with a feminine sweetness very attractive in a royal personage. Her family relations are perfect; she is the intimate friend of her young son, the Prince of Naples; and, often seen on the streets and among the shops, she is idolized by the Roman people.—Harper's Bazar.
