BREVITIES.

The cattle disease yields to cowrect treatment. Don Pedro, of Brazil, who is coming to visit us, owns the finest diamonds in the world. Indians are no respecters of color; they had just as soon take a blond scalp as a brunette. Mother Nature has spread the bed of the ocean with sheets of water. Damp sheets, eh? When a man winds up his clock he expects it to go, but it is different with business affairs. , _ “ He strained at a gnat and swallowed a calomel,” was little Johnny’s version of a recent text. Fast friends are good to have about when friends are needed, but they should not be too fast. A marriage-certificate is a noosepaper which almost every man subscribes for, sooner or later. No more ten-cent scrip. Secretary Bristow is sending out silver ten-cent pieces in their place. Indian real-estate motto: “If any commissioner attempts to beat down the price shoot him on the spot.” The fast time made by the new postal trains is accounted for by the fact that the wheels of the cars are not tired. The philosopher of the Lowell Journal says potatoes are so cheap this year it makes one feel mean to be caught eating one. When a man listens to you very attentively, either you are telling him something he knows or something he does not believe. The time is slowly, but surely, coming when the woman without will look with bitter envy upon the woman within a sealskin cloak. A Yank is going to lay car-tracks in St. Petersburg. That’s a blessed despotism, and there’ll be no crowding cars there, you may be certain. None of the new postal-cards have yet been issued, and no issues -will be made until the old ones on hand (about 1,000,000) are disposed of. The prisoners in the Nebraska State Penitentiary publish a newspaper. The round of the local reporter is said to be somewhat contracted. — : ——- The good do not die always early. There is Mrs. Finch, of Rutland, Vt., who lias had but one bonnet in twenty years, and never complained. President Garrett, of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, says when the winter comes the fast mail-trains will come to grief on cracked rails. Letter rip. It seems that undertakers are all in favor of cremation. Probably because they will urn so much more than by the present method of disposing of the dead. A church at Colchester, Conn., now uses a bass-drum to regulate the time of the singing, and the man who used to play the bass-viol looks on the innovation as a base violation of precedent. How many accidents might be averted did people generally understand that The Englishman was right when he said that the man who makes newspapers is an “ lied-hitter.” The railways in India seem to run to bridges. A single English firm has built no less than 10,000 iron bridges for the Bombay, Baroda and Central India and Indian railways. The last one constructed and sent out is to have an entire length of 9,088 feet. T ,.:- • A sea-gull of the largest size recently swooped down on a crab in Lake Pontcliartrain, imbedding the lower part of his bill in the crab’s back, but the crustacean seized and crushed the upper portion in his saving claws and a boatman rowed out and caught the crab and the bird.

When one makes a narrow escape it is usual to say that he saved himself “ by the skin of his teeth.” In the most splendid of all compositions (see Book of Job, chapter xix., verse 20), it is written: “My hone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth." Mrs. Simpson, the wife of a cashier at Bradford, in Yorkshire, Eng., has been sentenced by the borough magistrate to a month’s imprisonment for cruelty to her stepchildren. On one occasion one of the children, a girl nine or ten years of age, being afraid to go home, went to the cemetery and slept on her mother’s grave. An old man named William Yately has just died at the alms-house,, in Trenton, N. J., who had not tas(!% any kind of food for twenty-seven days before his death. During that time he subsisted entirely on small doses of whisky, given to him periodically. He had been an inmate of the institution for two years. TnE last words of a young Philadelphian, whose full soul loathed the obituary column, ere he went to meet his grandfather were: When ’Motions sore I bear no more And doctors do despair, Don’t let G. W. write me up At ninety cents a square. The French Court of Cassation has just given a decision of interest to gleaners. It is now decided as contrary to law for a farmer to turn sheep into his fields for two days after harvest, or to glean the fields himself or to sell the right, because ‘ the poor would thus be deprived of the benefit which humanity and law have reserved to the indigent.” The Berliner Centralbatt mentions that there are at the present time 168 cotton mills, with 2,059,350 spindles, in Switzerland, which are divided 1 amongst the cantons as follows: Zurich, 12 mills; Berne, 5; Luzerne, 2; Schweiz, 9; Glarus, 18; Zug, 4; Soleure, 1; Bale, 2; Schafihausen, 1: St. Gall, 1C; Grisons, 5; Aragon, 20; Thurgan, 6; Canton Yaud has 8 cotton mills. A professor of music at Trieste, M. Rota, has succeeded in teaching a numffer of deaf-mutes to sing. Impossible as this seems it is quite true, as a public exhibition in Paris, given by these deaf-mutes, proved. They not only sang in perfect time but preserved the pitch, which was conveyed to them by the teacher in some mysterious way. 1 . • There is a curious double oak tree in a garden in South Beaver, Pa., which begins at the root with one trunk. This divides into two about a foot above the surface of the earth, continues thus for ten feet, and then becomes united again. Each of the twin trunks, at the point of division, measures about a foot in diameter. The way to make a good dentifrice is to dissolve two ounces of borax in three pints of boiling water. Before quite cold add one tablespoonful of tincture of mvrrh and one tablespoonful of spirits of camphor. Bottle the mixture for use. Add one wineglassful of the solution to half a pint of tepid water and use it daily. It preserves and beautifies the teeth and arrests decay.— Excharge.

Hydrophobia communicated by a pasteboard dog is the latest medical novelty. Tyro months ago a mad dog was killed in a house after having bitten at nearly everything in the room. One of the things m which he buried his teeth was a little boy’s toy dog made of pasteboard. Subsequently a man used this pasteboard dog to stop the blood from a cut in his hand, and so the virus went into his wound and he died. There are now eighty American-made locomotives in Russia. They are coalburners and much larger and more powerful than the small wood-burning locomotives heretofore built in Russia or imported from Germany, France or Belgium. The American locomotives cost 25,000 silver rubles each, and the German locomotives 18,000 to 20,000 rubles, but the American locomotive is 50 per cent, more powerful than the German. We learn from our genial friend, Conductor 8. K. Blawson, of the Savannah & Charleston Railroad, that a day or two since the train coming to this city was stopped by a monkey while in rapid motion. It seems that the train was bowling along at the rafe of twenty-five miles an hour, when suddenly “ down brakes” were sounded, the engine bell ringing vigorously at the same time, and the locomotive came to a stop as the brakemen sprang to their posts. The conductor was rather mystified, and at once proceeded to investigate the matter. It was discovered that a monkey, which was confined in the baggage-car, had broken loose and was amusing himself swinging on the bellrope, and the engineer was thus signaled to stop. The explanation of the sudden stoppage occasioned fhuch ''-diversion anjong the passengers, and the monkey became quite a hero. —Savannah (Ga.) News. At one of the railroad depots the other day a lady walked up totheticket-window and smilingly said: “I know just how women are, and I don’t propose to bother anyone. Answer me a few questions, and I’ll sit down and say nothing to no one till train time. How far is it to Grand Rapids? What’s the fare? When does the train leave ? When do we arrive there ? When do they check baggage? Which track will the train start from? How will I get to Muskegon from Grand Rapids ? How far is it ? What’s the fare ? Do I change cars? Is there a palace coach on the train ? Shall I get a lay-over ticket ? Can I check my baggage clear through? Is there a conductor on this road named Smith ? Do you allow dogs in the passenger cars, and can a child ten years old go for nothing ?’ ’ Having been answered, she kept her promise to sit still, and the depot policeman never had the least bit of trouble in seeing her off. —Detroit Free Press.

Wild-Honey Gathering in California.

The New York Graphic correspondent with the Wheeler expedition in Southern California gives the following account of an adventure after wild honey: Looking upon our discomfiture, Jefl had pity for us, and volunteered to lead us to a cave where honey was certain, for he had seen it. With implicit trust and two huge camp-pails we followed him to a cool and green canon, bounded on one side by a high cliff of white rock, one of the brows of Piedra Blanca, into which time or the ancient waters had eaten many a cavity and niche. Near its foot, in a succession of springs, the water gushed from holes in the rock as from the scuppers of a ship. Wild vines and flowers of columbine and feathery ferns drooped over the mouths of these fountains, whose streams rushed on to tret over the bowlders at the bottom of the rapids, or linger in some pool and give joy to the trout there. It was a most beautiful .place, and we were not the first whom its beauty had refreshed, as was evident from the traces of an old camp which had been here in days long gone. A post or two of a shanty yet remained, and a short and rude ladder, which led to a long shelf and portico which wound along the rock. It was to these old settlers, hunters, prospecters, or whoever they were, that we owed thanks for. these coveted sweets, for in some leisure hour they had hewn a trough from a short log ana split out a slab of wood for a cover, and placed the vessel high out of the reach of the bears in a half-dome, which was above the shelf and portico. Then, having done this good deed, they went their way, into other territories perhaps, and left the hive for the bees to fill and other hands than theirs to empty, as a pilgrim eats fruit on the wayside, and, mindful of others to come, plants the seed by the road and journeys on. - All of us, eao;er and brave and hungry, mounted the ledge bv way of the ladder which had been placed there as a stairway to the upper floor, which may have .served as a store-room, fortress or sleep ing chamber for those who once lived beneath. Then Jeff clambered into the cave to subdue the bees and open the trough, while we remained below to render him what assistance he might need. The hunter carefully wound a square foot of gunny cloth around a bit of twig, lighted it, and waving this smudge about him, dispensing smoke as from a censer, he sickened the vagabond bees that were out and made them harmless. Next he inserted the edge of the ax under the lid and lifted it slightly, giving us our first view of the riches within. Aroused by this invasion the little people rushed forth in great numbers, and, avoiding the smoke and their immediate enemy, shot at us defenseless wretches and sought to wreak their vengeance on us, whose outlet of escape was now cut off by their pickets, who guarded the pass. A scene of the greatest consternation followed. To leap from the rock promised disaster from the fall, for it was twenty feet down; to attempt the ladder was to rush into the jaws of death; to fight them was brave, but unavailing; and to be cool and composed was impossible, for it takes; a very deliberate man to preserve lift composure when there is a bee in his whisker. It was then that Smith, imitating die ostrich, thrust his head into a pot-hole in the rock and was safe, for the implements of the foe were too delicate to pierce his canvas overclothes. Lee, stung to desperate action by the first bee, fled the coming wrath by leaping down the precipice and sprained his ankle, which accident father marred his enjoyment of the torments of those who were left behind. The Lieutenant, true to his profession, stood his ground manfully, doing battle with his big hat for a weapon, until stung in every available inch of his person, when he, too, retired down the ladder, but hardly in good order. Your correspondent, imitatingold JefPs style of armor, shrunk what he could of his vulnerable surface into the second iron pail, and, what with the butting of the bees, felt a sensation as if he had his head in one of those kettledrums used at the Bunker Hill Centennial. But even with this precaution some dozens of bees managed to entangle themselves in his hair, where they became angry and excited—to creep down his shirt collar, taking soundings as they went, and to flutter in droves up and down his hand,

where their feet were as soft as velvet until they felt the first quiver of life in his flesh, when their painful part would become manifest. Meanwhile, ever and anon, Old Jeff, waving his smudge before him, would lift his helmet from his brow and ask us pleasantly if we got any bites. It was nearly dark before the stubborn insects were subjugated and crawled in a dismayed heap on the side of the trough. The lid was fully lifted then, and we feasted our eyes before feasting our tongues. Oh, they were beautiful, those layers of comb, suspended from the plank and dripping their liquid sweetness. The bees had commenced their work in one corner, bifilding across the angle and then continued in parallel strata which ran diagonally across the box. The more recent of these were white and spotless and new; the older formation was a trifle waxy and inferior with age. There were a few hundred pounds of honey in this box, and when our two large buckets were heaped to the brim a half of the store was yet untouched. And it was bright moonlight when we shouldered our plunder and stumbled our way back to camp, where supper was awaiting us, at which the hunter and his daughter were our guests. In the morning we were a demoralized outfit. Throughout the night we had chased the live bees from our clothing as a Turk hunts fleas. These and the ants, drawn to us by the savory drippings with which we were smeared, had given us a sleepless vigil. Old Jeff’s hands were puffed up beyond all recognition by the poisonous wounds receivedm the ripe of the honey, for, in the dark, touch a comb where you would, you were sure to lay your finger on the sharp end of a bee. Lee doctored his ankle and said that henceforth he would be contented to get his honey as he got his game—that is, to buy it by the pound. The topographer’s instrumental eye was swollen shut, and what was he good for ? And those who were not sore with stings were sick with sweet surfeiting.

Conenmptlon Can Be Cared. Schencx’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, Schenck’a Mandrake Pills, are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consumption. Frequently medicines that will stop a cough will occasion the death of the patient; they lock up the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage follows, and. in fact, they clog the action of the very organs that caused tha cough. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consumption. Many persons complain of a dull pain in the side, constipation, coated tongne, pain in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food lying heavily on the stomach, accompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptoms usually originate from a disordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so affected, if they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged, remaining torpid and inactive, and, almost before they are aware, the lungs are a mass of sores and ulcerated, ttfe result of which is death. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant which does not contain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddenly. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food, mixes with the gafitric juices of the stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, or the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tendency, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines ara prepared only by J. H. Schenck & Son, N. E. cor. 6th and Arch-sts, Philsd’a, and are for sale by all druggists and dealers.

The Strange Disease. Like the thief at night, it steals in upon us unawares. The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sens* tion at the pit of the stomach, which food docs not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After awhile a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with greenish-colored expectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not appear to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive, the skin is dry and hot at times. The blood becomes thick and stagnant, the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste and sometimes a sweetish taste. This is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart. The vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes. There is a great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms do not make their appearance at one timfe, but during the various stages they are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has. been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated it for liver complaint, some for dyspepsia, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these various kinds of treatment have been attended with success. It is found, however, that the Shaker Extract op Roots (not a patent medicine), when prepared properly, will remove the disease in all its stages. Care should be taken to procure a good article.

Yesterday morning, when & man entered Jjis house after an all-night’s absence, his clothes covered with blood and his hair full of grass, his wife sternly demanded: “Now, then, where have you been?” “ Wliirivi’ bin?” “Yes, sir." “ Well,” he replied, looking down at himself, “ you kin call it blode up on a steamboat, or run over by a tornado —I ain’t a bit partickler which.”— Vicksburg Herald.
