Wistar's BaIsam of Wild Cherry


The editor of the International Journal says
OF all the specifics offered for the cure of
Lung Complaints, we have the greatest faith in
Wistar's Balsam Of Wdd Cherry. Free from
those narcotic ingredients which enter so largely
into the composition of some other patent med
icines it acts without injury to the nervous sys-
tenn. We speak of this valuable medicine from
personal knowledge of its effects. Scarcely two
years have elapsed since member of our fami-
y tras raised from the rery brink Of the Craze
through its use; and in several subsequent cases
where it has been administered in our house
hold, it has never once failed of the desired eff
feet. We cheerfully commend it to our friends

mankind as certain remedy for inciplent dis

ANOTHER Big DEER.-We some time since
spoke of a deer shot by our friend j. G. Doll, of
Red Bluffs, as the largest ever killed in the Uni
ted States Since then G.. W. McCumber. ac-
cording to the Beacon, has killed one, near his
mill, the horns of which contained twenty-three
prongs the entire carcass, including the head,
weighing the almost fabulous amount of 2s2s
pounds In evidence of the weight of this deer,
Mac intends Z" to produce the head in a few
days"
friend of ours, from the Bald Halls, says
that he few months since shot a deer that
weighed 2s5 pounds and six ounces, gross-and
if any one doubts it, he is prepared to show the
gun. He's sassy cuss-
P. S.-A subsequent number of the Beacon
reports that Lieut.. Carr of Fort Crook, who saw
the deer weighed, says that the figures should
read 1872 pounds.

The New York Crystal Palace was burned on
the 9Th Oct, supposed to be the work of an in

the building, none of whom were seriously hurt
The steamer burned at sea on the 18th O.
September was certainly the "Austria" from
Hamburg. She had on board 539 souls, of whom
so far as known, only SO have been saved. The
accounts given of the conduct of the Captain
contrasts very unfavorably with that of the
Captain of the Central america. The Captain o
the latter acted and died like a hero. The Cap
tain of the Austria however, as soon as he saw
the danger exclaimed, " We are lost" and loos-
ing his presence of mind, jumped or fell over
board. A Mr.. Brewer gives a horrible picture
of the confusion at one time on the quarter
deck. He says
Passengers were rushing frantically to and
fro-husbands seeking their wives, wives in
search of their husbands, relatives looking after
relatives, mothers lamenting the loss of their
children, some wholly paralyzed by fear others

ly upon them that many jumped into the sea
relatives, clasped in each others arms, leaped
over and met watery grave; two girls sup
posed to be sisters, jumped over and sank kiss
ing each other. A missionary and wife leaped
into the sea together, and the stewardess and
assistant steward arm in arm, followed. One
Hungarian gentleman, with seven fine children
four of them girls, made his wife jump in, ther
blessed his six eldest children, made them jump
IN one after the other, and followed them with
an infant in his own arms.
The fire was the result of carelessness on the
part of the boatswain, while fumigating the
vessel. He had heated the end of a chain to
dip in tar to produce smoke, but the end be-
coming too hot to hold, he let it drop, upsetting
the tar and setting fire to the deck.

A DARK SCENE OF HISTORY.
BY JOHN COOPER VAIL.


JOHN COOPER VAIL.
Plot and faction were ripening to the full

- plafn 10 sala iisseraing nlel thsst 1nonar-
chy was about 20 be restored, for the scep-
tire already trembled in the nerveless grasp
of Richard Cromwell proving that the
mantle of power had not descended from the
lion-hearted father to his son. The gay
young cavaliers began to wag their tongues
with licensed ribaldry, and the round heads
who fought bravely by the side of Oliver at
Edge Hill and Marston Moor, felt the sting
of their bitter sarcasms, for they were una
BILE to return blew for blow, without pro-
tector at the helm.
Little boots it us toselatavhow the second
Charles was received and reinstated on his
fathers throne by the applauding thousands,
some Of whom, perhaps, had seen the fatal
axe descend upon his fathers throat without
murmer.
And now that the golden prize was his
his by general acc1amation--his by right of
pedigree-the day of cant had passed away,
the sun ofroyalty arose; the crown, in. exile,
he SO oft had sighed for, sat easy on his
graceful brow, and yet as firm as when it
covered Henry Tudor or the Norman Will
liam
And yet there is shape and shadow of
the past that haunts him like dream. A
fair young girl, with lips like rounded rose
leaves, and a form of such all-g glorious mod
el, that her worst detractors speak in thrill
ing rapture of her wondrous charms. while
they descant upon her virtue as the only
blot blot, forsooth! The darkest page Of
history has never been written yet. Men
never knew the secret fostered in fair Lucy
Walters heart--a promise given to hel
princely lover when the crown of England
seemed as distant as the stars. The mar
riage proof was never given to the world
though the rumor Of their secret nuptials
was never denied by King Charles himself,
and honest hearts will think that, had the
lovely Lucy been of noble birth, her name
had now been chronicled, not as the leman
Lucy Walters. but as the virtuous Lucy
Stuart Queen Of England.
As dark shadow long before eclipsed
the fortunes Of the mis-named Perkin War
beck but of his fate it is not our province
now to write. The road that leads unto a
throne, has often been unjustly paved with
gold or ned with crime
Twas 1t the Hague-an exile from his
native land-that Prince Charles first saw
the lovely Welsh girl; but how he wooed
and won her hand and heart, we must leave
to the subtle chroniclers of the dim hereaf-
ter. The fruit of their union was son.
who inherited his mothers wondrous ho.,+,,
while the graces Of his father were allied to
wit, Intelligence, and skill in arms. He
grew to manhood. and, when Charles Stuart
sat upon the English throne, had all the at
tendance of g royal prince conferred upon
him, and was lodged in sumptuous apart
monts at Whitehall. It is question to be
asked not answered, if illegitimate, why was
the son of Lucy Walters permitted to wear
the purple robe Of royalty in the presence

FLEETNEss OF THE OSTRICH. When the
ostrich is feeding his pace is from twenty
to twenty-five inches; when walking but
not feeding, it is tWenty-six inches; and
when terrified, it is from eleven and a half
to thirteen- and even fourteen feet in length.
Only in one case was at all satisfied of be-
ing able to count the.rate ofspeed by stop
watch, and; if [ am not mistaken, there
were thirty in ten seconds; generally the
eye can no more follow the legs than it can
the spokes of a carriage wheel in rapid mo-
tion. If we take the above number. and
twelve feet stride as the average pace. we
have speed of twenty-six miles an hour.
1t cannot be very much above that, and is
therefore slower than locomotive.

~Country papers are of much more use
than most people generally imagine.
They very naturally aid in calling atten-
ton to matters in which every citizen in the
county is more or less interested.
They contribute in various ways to the
formation Of public opinion, on subjects Of
public interest.
They furnish very convenient mediums
for the discussion Of subjects of local inte-
rest
They aid in giving character and import
ance to the county in which they are pub
lished.
They stimulate taste for reading, and
disseminate, in the course of one year, vast
amount of information, much of which would
not reach the reader through any other
channel
Mey are of essential good in the family,
in fostering taste for reading among chll ;
dren. Country papers enjoy an advantage
over papers published at a distance, because
many of their items are Of local interest,
which naturally attracts child's attention.
The advertising columns are particularly at
tractlve to many persons.
They are Of essential service in publish
ing various articles of local intelligence in
which the citizens are more or less interest
ed, but of which many would remain unin-
formed were it not for these papers.
In short, country papers add in variety
OF ways to the character, intelligence and
prosperity of the county in which they are
published; and therefore have a strong claim
to the support Of all whom they directly or
indirectly benefit.

AS soon as he touches his nose to your
hand, caress him as before directed, always
using a very soft light hand, merely touch
ing the horse, always rubbing the way the
hair lies, so that your hand will pass along
smoothly. as possible. As you stand BY his
side, you may find it more convenient to
rub his neck or the side of his head, which
will answer the same purpose as rubbing his
forehead. Favor every inclination Of the
horse to touch or smell you with his nose.
Always follow each touch or communication
of this kind with the most tender and afec-
tlonate caresses, accompanied with kind
look and pleasant word of some sort, such
as 'tHo! my little boy. ho my little boy"
Pretty boy!' Mice lady! or something
of the kind, constantly repeating the same
words with the same kind. steady tone Of
voice; for the horse soon learns to read the
expression of the face and the voice, and
will know as well when fear, love. or anger
prevails as you know your own feelings:

man should never feel. ssr
IF your horse, instead of being wild. seems
to be of a stubborn or mulish disposition if
he lays back his ears as you approach him,
or turns his heels to kick you, he has not
that regard or fear of man that he should
have to enable you to handle him quickly
and easily; and it might be well to give him
few sharp cuts with the whip, about the
legs, pretty close to the body. twill crack
keenly as it plies around his legs, and the
crack Of the whip will affect him as much as
the stroke; besides, one sharp cut aboutfis
legs will affect him more than two or three

his legs or about the flank being thinnerand
more tender than on his back But do not
whip him much. 81

PROTECTION OF HORSES AGAINST FLIES. -
In view of the miseries attending the best
cared-for horses at this season of the year,
it behooves all who can in any way allevi-
ate them, or in any manner add to the CONF
fort of this noble animal, to take the. larg-
est possible field, and seize every opportu-
nifty for the spreading of his benign inAu-.
w hnf -.
an Old method Of protecting horses against
flies, which has been again brough tot mind
by the Irish Farmers Gazette, and which
is, in substance, as follows -
''Previous to taking the horse out of the
stable, sponge him well with decoction Of
laurel leaves about the head, loins, and 9TH
er sensitive parts. The decoction is made
by boiling the leaves in water for consid-
cradle time, and being poisonous, it should
be kept carefully when not desired to be
used"
This is said to be preventive to his be-
ing stung and annoyed with horse-fies. A
late statement in the Moniteu. P AgrtcM-
ture, of Paris, reminds its readers that M.
de Sierra, the famous French agricultural
ist, ascertained that decoction of the leaves
of the walnut tree, applied to- horses and
other animals as a wash, will be found conn

and body, he fled from the field. and sought
to escape to the continent.
King James was wary, and his spies shut
up every outlet of escape. He had double
cause to guard his unjust inheritance now,
for be and Ferguson had held conference
face to face.
King James had offered five thousand
pounds for the Duke of Monmouth's head
but he gave the villain, Ferguson, three
times that sum for a small black box and
key.
Monmouth was taken prisoner in beg
gar's tattered garb, and confined in the
walls.of the Tower. From that hour, his
heart seemed crushed, for from that period
he forgot his former bravery, and sued his
uncle James to spare his life That bigot
king had never spared friend or foe, but,
at the dukes request, he visited him in the
Tower.
Monmouth, though bound with silken
cords, fell at his uncle's knees, and begged
for life, only life, though he should spend
that life within dungeons walls.

land, said James, coldly; s'and thou hast
