A MEDICINAL DRINK, of eminently salutarv
a qualities, manufactured by himself exclu-
sIvely, at his factory at Schiedam, in Holland,
and well known during the last twelve wears
throughout all the Atlantic and Wesen States.
1t is made from the best barley that can be
selected in Europe, with the essence of an aro-
matte Italian berry, of acknowledged and ex-
traordinary medicinal properties. 1t has long
since acquired higher reputation, both in
Europe and America, than any other diuretic
beverages.
Analysed, it is a perfectly pure Liquor, in its
effects mild and wholesome tonic. 1t is ex-
tensively used and approved by the medical fac
ulty, the temperance people, heads of families,
&c.
In Gravel, Gout and Rheumatism, in obstruc-
tions of the Bladder and Kidneys, and in Cen
eral Debility, its effects are prompt, decided and
invariably reliable; and it is not only remedy
for these maladies, but in all cases where they
are produced by drinking bad water, which is
almost universally the cause of them, it acts as
sure preuentice.
For Fever and Ague it is one of the most eff
hcacious preventives that can be resorted to.
The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps
Is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling or about to settle in new parts of the
country especially, as well as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account of its various other remedial properties.
In all cases of Dropsical tendency, it is gen.
orally the only remedy required, when adopted
in the early stage of the disease
In dyspepsia maladies when taken in proper
quantities, as a diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by Uniform experience, to be
eminently effcacious in the most obstinate cases.
when even the best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief In
cases of Flatuency, it is an immediate and in
variable specific, and it may be administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities even to
YoUNG INFANTS, in ali those paroxysms of grip
ing pain in the stomach and bowels to which
they are especially subject, as well as in the
collie of grown persons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the
principal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion
dictates its use fails to relieve the debili-
ty attendant upon protracted chronic malades,
low temperament and exhausted vital energy by
whatever cause induced. These are facts to
which many of the most eminent medical men,
both in England and the United States, have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
the highest written authorities.
Put up in quart and plat bottles, in cases of
one dozen, with my name on the bottles, cork,
and fac-simile of my signature on the label.

MUSICAL FESTIVAL ABOVE THE CLOUDS
Twelve members of the Yreka Brass Band re-
Gently ascended to the summit of Shasta Butte
the highest mountain in the United States
They took their musical instruments with them
From very interesting narrative of the trip
published in the Yreka Chronicle, we extract the
annexed paragraph:
"Our company of twelve reached the Red
Bluff or upper bench of the mountain in -four
hours from camp, and after resting half an hour
started over those erial heights for the summit
which we reached at o'clock. The instru-
ments being finally carried by their wearied
owners to the top of the highest peak, the inspi-
ring notes of '' Hail Columbia" were soon float
ing on the upper air, l6,700 feet above the level
Of the sea, which were followed in rapid success
sion by those of "Star Spangled Banner,
Washington's March" and {" Yankee Doodle. .
The sounds were low, but clear and distinct
AS the last strains of that musical festival above
the clouds died away, three cheers were civer
for Shasta Butte, and three times three for the
United States
That was sublime idea, to ascend, as it were
within hearing distance of the gates of heav.
en- and there discourse the soul-stirring airs o
+" Hail Columbia" Yankee Doodle and tht
4" Star Spangled Banner" We doubt ifthe fea
will ever be repeated

There is one oft-repeated lesson learned in

Democrats are like their national flag still
there and whoever counts on their disaffection,
without some very potent local cause, will leau
on broken stick. Trinity County is largely

Lecompton views, but their difference does not
involve abandonment Of party; the disputed

VALUE OF THE Precious SroNEs.-The usual va
rieties of sapphire come from Pegu where they oc-
cur in the Capreon mountains near Syria, the red
variety-thc ruby-is most highly valued. Its
color is between bright scarlet and crimson. A
perfect ruby above 81 carats is more valuable than
diamond of the same weight. If it weigh one
carat it is worth So; two carats $2OS three caras
$3.50; six carats $4,000 A deep colored ruby. ex
ceedng twenty carats in weight is generally called
carbnnce. The largest oriental ruby known to
be in the world was brought from China, to Prince
Garagaria, Governor of Siberia; it came afterwards
into the possession of Prince Menchkotf, and con-
sttutes now jewel in the imperial crown of Russia
good blue sapphire often carats isvaued at $780,;
if it weighs twenty carats, its value is 81 O4O; but
under ten carats, the price may be estimated by
multiplying the square of its weight in carats into
quarter eagle. The sapphire of Brazil is merely
blue tournabine its specific gravity and inferi-
or hardness shows. White sapphires are sometimes
so pure that when properly cut and polished they
have been passed for diamonds. The yellow and
green sapphires are much priced under the names
of oriental topaz and emerald. The specimens
which exhibit all these coors associated in one
stone are highly priced.

CHINESE ivory BALLs.-It has long puzzled peo-
pie how the curved concentric ivory balls, cut one
within another, are made by the Chinese 1t has
been conjectured that originally they are balls cut
into halves, SO strongly and nicely gummed or ce-
mented together that it is impossible to detect the
junction. Attempts have been made by some to dis
solve the union by soaking and boiling concentric
ball in OIL but to no purpose. The plain solution,
as given by the native artists themselves, is
this ga piece of ivory, made perfectly round,
has several conical holes worked into it, so that
their several apces meet at the centre of the gobu
lar mass The workman then commences to detacb
the innermost spheres of ALL which is done by in
sorting tool into each hole, with point bent and
very sharp-the instrument being so arranged as to
cut away or scrape the ivory through each hole at
equal distances from the surface. The implement
works away at the bottom of each conical hole sue
eessively, until the missions meet. In this wav
the innermost ball is separated, and to smooth
carve and ornament it, its various faces are, one
after the other brought opposite one of the largest
holes. The other balls, larger as they near the
outer surfact, each cut, wrought and polished
precisely in the same manner.

WHY COUSINS SHOULD NOT MARRY.-In the Annual
report OF the Superintendent of the Kentucky
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, we find the
following conclusive argument against thu mar
riage of couzins
"From ten to twenty per cent. of deaf mutes are
the children OF cousins 1t is greatly to be regret
ted that the law forbdding the marriage of first
cousins did not pass the recent Legislature Their
marriage is violation of law of nature, as is evil
denced by the Affections visited in almost every
case upon their offspring, in Deafness blindness and
idiocy; and ought to be a violation of human laws
also. The commonwealth has the clear right to
protect itself against these starred matches, whose
offspring it has to maintain, too frequently for life
not escape the action of our legislators many wears
longer. 1t is confidently believed that by forbid
ding marriages of this kind and by proper attention
and care of infants laboring under the diseases
might be diminished one half in a generation"
