ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A woman by the name of Thomas has sued the city of Syracuse, N. Y., for $5,600 damages for taking a house of hers for a peat-house. Sleighing was reported good at Watertown, N. Y., a few days since. Trees, rOofs and sheds were broken down with the weight of the snow. A MW town in the California quicksilver region is named Mercury. What class of operators that heathen deity presided over every school-boy knows. Am Indiana woman dreamed that she saw her husband kissing the hired girl and she got so mad over it that she discharged the girl before breakfast next morning. There is still another point in favor of narrow-gauge railroads. When the locomotive runs over a man two-thirds of the body is left in good shape for identification. The Danbury Newt says that “the maddest kind of a woman is one who spends a half hour in arranging her toilet before descending to the parlor on the arrival of a visitor—who proves to be a book agent” The New York Mail says that “the average female is just now crazy over hats. If she hasn’t got a soft felt, with a rakish crown and a thievish-looking brim, she is crazy to get one, and if she has got one she is mad because she didn’t get the other pattern.” Miss Anna Snow was just getting up to leave a train of cars at Newburyport some two weeks ago, having ridden from Boston, when she found a roll of bills of large amount in her lap, but how they came there she could not tell. She advertised them, and a man has proved them to be his, though he was not on the train on the day they were found, and had never been in Newburyport.

There is rarely if ever any need of using soap on the face, except for very dirty people, or where there is much oil secreted by the skin. Pure soft water is generally quite sufficient. As a rule avoid the very free use of soap on the skin, except the mildest kinds. Face powders injure the skin just as dirt does, by obstructing the pores. If there is any poison in the face powder, as there often is, it only adds poison to dirt and makes the matter so much the worse. Dan Davis, of Virginia City, paid a visit to Promontory, on the Central Pacific Railroad, and was charmed with the manners and customs almost patriarchal in their frank simplicity of the people. He stopped at the principal hotel of the town. It was a nice place and the landlord was a very agreeable and friendly sort of a man. Says Dan: “ When dinner was ready the landlord came out into the street in front of his hotel with a double-barreled shot-gun. Raising the gun above his head he fired off one barrel. I said to him, ‘ What did you do that for?’ Said he, ‘To call my boarders to dinner.’ I said, * Why don’t you fire off both barrels?’ ‘ Oh,’ said he, ‘ I keep the other to collect with.’ ” A negro of Baltimore has had a warning which, if it does not turn him from some of the errors of his way, ought at least to convey a wholesome lesson to others. He had been indulging in strong drinks to excess and was enjoying a cheerful attack of delirium tremens. One morning he got out of bed and ascended to the roof to take an air-bath. Then he was seized with the delusion that the people in the street were trying to shoot him. To escape from them he jumped from house to house and ran along the combs of the roofs until the row of houses came to an end. He' then dropped himself down a chimney out of the range of imaginary guns. He slid down the chimney until he became firmly wedged above a stove-pipe hole, and in that stoveja fire had just been built to cook breakfast. The negro now became impressed with the idea that he had reached the infernal regions at last, and howled accordingly. It was necessary* to chop a hole in the chimney to release him.

Vivisection—Do Animals Suffer?

The discussion growing, out of Mr. Bergh’s opposition to the practice of vivisection, on the ground that animals suffer intense pain under mutilation for scientific purposes, has resulted in the publication of some very curious and interesting facts from men authorized to speak on both sides of the question, and none more so than we find in a recent letter from Dr. Crosby, M. D., of New York, to the Tribune. The sense of pain, according to the doctor’s theory, is designed for the selfpreservation of all animals, each being endowed with this quality to the extent of insuring this result. Some animals when mutilated suffer much, while others suffer but little or not at all. Appearances of suffering are not conclusive that pain is actually experienced, as convulsions, for example, though indicative of suffering, produce no pain aside from muscular soreness, and only establish the fact that the brain has lost control over the rest of the nervous system. The cry of an animal is not at all times a proof of pain, as for instance the pig, when seized, however gently, manifests by its cries great agony, while it is quiet when the knife is plunged suddenly into its throat, and this sense of fear under restraint is attributed to the natural timidity of the animal. A number of instances are cited in proof that no such suffering exists as has been supposed, many of which, if not absolutely convincing, are at least difficult to disbelieve. A horse with a leg shot off at the battle of Fair Oaks fell, got up again and commenced feeding. Thirtysix hours afterward the same horse was found quietly feeding, seemingly in good condition, although the bone protruded through the soft parts- and the wound was filled with maggots. Another case of a post-horse, is given falling in harness on the road in Scotland, lacerating the skin and tendons over the fetlock joints. The tibia and fibula protruded, the foot turned back and the horse walked on the ends of the bones. And yet it is said the animal looked and felt apparently well. Still another case is given of an Oxford coach-horse dislocating both fetlock joints and traveling on the ends of the bones until they were worn smooth.

| Uormice WQI eat off a mutilated pRW and rate will eat their tails when pressed by hunger, as also has been remarked of monkeys. Rabbits and hares will cry out with fear when hunted and hard pressed, but when caught in a trap will sometimes eat the limb away to obtain freedom, and rats have been known to do the same. It is stated as a singular fact, and it is so, as showing the distinctive traits between beasts of prey and beasts that are preyed upon, that the former, though frequently losing a limb by a trap, will never gnaw oft an extremity, from which Dr. Crosby argues that the sense of pain was designed for the preservation of animals by compelling them to take due care of themselves. The rat or the rabbit, though inconvenienced by the loss of a leg, can still provide it--self with food, but in the cases of carnivora the loss of legs is usually the forerunner of starvation. The argument is pursued by the learned doctor, descending in the scale of the animal kingdom to fish, newts and beetles, and incidents are cited to prove that in destroying each other and themselves no pain is experienced. It is contended that the objections raised by humanitarians to vivisection are based upon the sentimental rather than the rational, and that vivisection practiced with the animals rendered insensible by the application of ether destroys the last vestige of sentiment and leaves Mr. Bergh and his friends not even the ghost of the leg of an argument to stand on. Whatever may be the fact we are inclined to thjnk that, while the world will -indorse Mr. Bergh in his humanitarian theory of protection to animals from cruelty and overwork as a sentiment, it will also be willing to sacrifice half of the lower animal kingdom if in so doing the rational may be served and the physical system of mankind be better understood.—St Louis Republican.

The Crow.

The crow, phisikally considered, is about the size ov two wild pigeons, and iz az blak and brilliant az a piece ov pattent leather. They are az cunning az a tombs lawyer, and just az mutch a ded beat. Yu kant ketch one in a trap, and they will smell a gun, that ain’t even loaded, klear akrost a 200 aker farm. Morally konsidered, the crow haz a reputashun that iz badly out ov repair, but for the korn and other cereals they steal they make amends by the awful they consume. Departed horse, extinkt sheep, ded cow and destroyed pig are amung the awful that the crow are sweet upon, and save the undertakers menny a poor job. Yung crow are handy to tame and edukate, but after yu hav got him thoroly cdukated it will take two smart constables to keep him out ov mischief. They will steal just for the excitement ov the thing. I hav known them to steal an old horse shu, that want worth enny thing, and lug it away down to the lower end ov the garden. A tame crow and a tame injun may be a moral triumph on the face ov it, but when yu cum to examine the other side ov it yu will find yu have drawed a blank. If all the crows and injuns in the world were tame and edukated yu could bid farewell to all other employments, and spend all yure time and talents watching and studdying the kussid kritters. It iz a grate mistake to meddle with instinkts ov enny kind, yu kant eradikate them, and yu kant improve them without making them wuss. Enny learned or litterary fellow will tell yu this, if yu ask him politely. Crows assemble in the fall ov the year, ten thousands ov them in council, and appoint their officers and deakons for the following year. At this grate caukuss rezolushuns are passed cussing the farmers up-hill and down for putting up skare-crows in the korn-fields, plans are laid for future stealing, and, each crow swopping wives with another crow, the grand convenshun bursts and the crows fly away.— Josh Billings, in N. Y. Weekly.

How to Trim Apron Fronts.

The long apron fronts of over-skirts are now the objective points of trimming. There is a fancy for trimming these aprons with three curved or horizontal rows that give the effect of borders for three aprons. Black Cashmere overskirts have three rows of jet fringe headed by passementerie across the apron front and dividing it into three equal tiers. Plain colored camel’s-hair aprons have three bias bands of plaid curite across them. Tall ladies are especially pleased with this trimming. Short*dies, and particularly those with very long waists, use perpendicular rows of jet galloon on the apron to give the appearance of greater length below the waist. Very slender figures use the triple apron, which is three short aprons overlapping each other, edged with fringe and draped or festooned across the front breadths. The best plan for those who are too stout is to have five bias bands of velvet sewed down the front breadths of the lower skirt from the belt to the flounce at the foot and thus dispense with a separate apron.— Harper's Baear. •

Laziness and Health.

Our experience is that a large number of girls’ ailments are due to idleness, and the consequent ennui, and that the nerve-forces are as self-destructive as an unrestrained locomotive engine would be; which, if not properly directed, would injure everything with which it came in contact, or soon cripple itself. We have seen lamentable instances of girls among the middle classes whose bodily and moral health had been ruined by ignorant parents. The strong, rightminded girls are those who have been well educated at school or college, and who are constantly engaged in work for themselves or others, who are employed at drawing, sculpture, languages, or even science; whilst the sickly, complaining creatures, who are ever on the doctor’s hands, are those who are doing nothing One of the worst chronic cases of hysteria we have ever known was cured immediately upon the young lady being required to take charge of her father’s house.— Herald of Health.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Tomato Sauce and Fish.—The celebrated dishes known as soles and other fish a la Orly consist merely of fillets of the fish fried, either plainly or after being soaked in lemon juice, etc., and dipped in batter and then served with some hot tomato sauce in a sauce-boat Genoese Pudding.—Three eggs, their weight in butter, sugar and flour, stoned raisins and nutmeg to the taste. Rub the butter and sugar to a cream, add the nutmeg. Butter the bowl, put in the raisins, then pour in the mixture, cover the bowl with a Cloth and boil for two hours. Eat hot with wine sauce. Coldslaw.—Yolks of two eggs; a tablespoonfUl of cream; a small teaspoonful of mustard; a little salt; two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. > If cream is not used put in a small lump of butter rubbed in a little flour. Cut the cabbage very fine; heat the mixture, and pour it on hot. Roasted Hare.—Having trussed the hare prepare a rich stuffing of corn and wheat bread, mixed and rubbed fine, butter, pepper, salt, thyme and beaten yolk of egg. Stuff the body of the hare and tie it up, and rub the skin with butter, and roast before the fire as sucking pig is done. It will require from two to three hours to cook. Serve with currant Jelly.

Eggs Dressed Spanish Fashion. —In a frying-pan toss a slice of rich bacon for the sake of the fat it will render; take away the bacon; mix a teaspoonful of honey with the bacon fat; break into it a dozen new-laid eggs, and do them slowly; take up with a skimmer, place them in a dish, and almost mask them with pickled red and green capsicums, sliced. A Partridge Pie. —Take four partridges and clean them nicely, and cut each one into four pieces. Beason with plenty of butter, some salt and pepper, and put in six hard-boiled eggs sliced thin, and two heads of celery cut fine. *Fill the dish half full with water, and pour in half a teacup of cream. Cover with a lid of paste, leaving a hole in the -center. If preferred, you may stuff the partridges with oysters and a lump of butter, instead of disjointing them. Sausage-Meat.—For every pound of meat two teaspoons of powdered sage, one teaspoon powdered thyme, one teaspoon black pepper, one and a half teaspoons salt; two teaspoons ground coriander seeds, or one teacup of seeds, not ground, for every twenty pounds of meat; one teaspoon saltpeter dissolved in water. After mixing thoroughly, make into cakes and fry as for the table; pack in stone jars to within two inches of the top, pour melted lard over until the jars are filled; cover closely, and they will keep a year. When wanted for the table, take out of the jars and, after taking off some of the lard that adheres to them, put into a skillet and heat through. They will be as nice as when first made.— Woonsocket (R. I.) Patriot.

Fall Plowing.

Tillers of the soil are often made the butt of ridicule because of their diversity of views and teachings in regard to their calling. Few fundamental principles seem to be settled and accepted as laws of agriculture. It is even questioned whether agricultural knowledge is worthy to be dignified with the name of science. Every man seems to be a law unto himself. One man arrives at conclusions that are wholly at variance with the long practice of his neighbor. A close observer is able to trace in a great measure the causes of this diversity of opinions and practices. Take the subject of “Fall Plowing.” It is often discussed in the agricultural papers, and the farmers are divided in their practice. Some argue that it injures the land and renders it less productive than when plowed in the spring. Others affirm just the opposite. The truth is in a nutshell. The circumstances of soil and weather determine the result. And the man who does not look beyond his reading and beyond his neighbors’ practice for his guide will likely go astray. Heavy, sticky soils may be injured by fall plowing. If a soil has the quality of a mortar-bed when soaked with rain it is questionable if fall plowing is advantageous. Such a soil seems, when disturbed in the fall, to melt together through the action of the snows and rains and become more compact and hard, and does actually receive positive injury, from which it will take twelve monliis to recover. Again, ordinary light soils, which usually are benefited by late fall plowing, i 7nay receive positive injury when the fall of rain is excessive, especially if the rains are driving and beating. If the frosts of winter had not the effect to finely pulverize the soil, which we believe it has on the American Bottom, we can see sufficient advantage for utilizing the obnoxious grasses and weeds by rotting them in the furrows. We would say, then, to the agriculturists of the country, don’t be frightened from the good practice of fall-plowing your lands. Ordinarily it will succeed to your” satisfaction. Failure is the exception. The safe rule would be for every farmer to test the two methods upon his own soil, and thus intelligence will direct his labor. — St. Louis Republican.

A young knave has been fooling the Hartland (Conn.) farmers by engaging cattle and ordering that they be driven to East Hartland, where he would pay for them, he said. The farmers all had their animals there at the appointed time, but the purchaser didn’t put in an appearance. Said the plaintiff in a divorce case at Augusta, Me., to Chief-Justice Appleton: “ I don’t want to say anything agin the woman, Judge, but I wish you could live with her a little while; you’d think I had told the truth!” The Judge was willing to take his word for it. A woman at Alexandria, Ya., fell into a cistern the other evening and her deaf husband sat up all night, only thirty feet away, waiting for her to come home.

• Tnrrt? * Y? ; tbin the W few months a considerable number of persons have called upon Dr. Walker, the proprietor of the popular medicine known as Vinegar Bitters, and assured bacco. The minute details which have been furnished him forbid him to doubt the accuracy of the statements. This new claim of a great remedy to the confidence of the public will give a vast and well-deserved impulse to its popularity. Heretofore the Bitters have been recognized as a pure vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to the cure of stomach ana bowel complaints, nervous disorders, bilious affections, muscular diseases, and indeed a majority of the ailments within the reach of medicine; but if it will also cure the craving for liquqr and tobacco, philosophers, statesmen and theologians ought to unite their voices in its praise. Can the good news be true? It is easy to test the question.

Beekman, clergyman, of New York, was recently badly kicked by a horse, and was speedily cured by using the celebrated Mexican Mustang Liniment. When the proprietor asked him for a certificate he replied that he “considered it a remarkable article, but it wouldn’t answer for him to indorse a remedy in print.” Here's consistency. But we didn't kick him, as the horse did. The world knows that for Rheumatism. Bruises, Swellings, Spavin, Scratches, Inflammation, Lameness, or any flesh, bone or muscle ailment upon man or animal, there is nothing like the Mustang Liniment.

Dr. J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegab Bit* ters!” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been ‘ compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative. and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de-, strayed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious. Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of'unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is Essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters. as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion. Headache, Pam in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia; One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Diseases, Walker’s Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases.— Persons engaged in Paints and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker’s Vinegar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug np and carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and remoVed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, inyoung or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find Its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores: cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. r. h. McDonald a co., Druggists and Gen. Agta., Son Francisco, California and cor. of Washington and Charlton Sts., N. Y.
