The starch manufacturers are in
trouble, and despond of business sue
cess. Where, in times past, they found
ready sale for their manufacture, the
article is now drug. This change is
attributed to the general use of crino-

longer necessary to produce expan-

HORRIBLE ArFAIR.--A correspondent
of the Petersburg Express, writing
from Fayetteville; North Carolina, on
the 26th, says:
In Richmond county, on Friday last,
a most diabolical quadruple murder
was perpetrated by a crazy negro fell
low belonging to Mr.. John Chap
pell.
The first victim, a child of Mr..
Chappell-then the wife-then anoth-
or child, and then Mr.. Chappell HIM
self.
Some Of the neighbors were sent
for, and the negro had to be killed be.
fore he was subdued. The particu-
lars are truly horrifying. Mrs. Chap
pell seeing her child knocked down,
ran to it's assistance, and while in the
act of lifting it up her head was en-
trely severed from her body by a blow
from an AK. The bloody tragedy very
naturally produced the most intense
excitement in the neighborhood.

FAITHFUL LOVE.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

All, mine is not that moonlt love
Which romance clouds or kindlcs.s
That bnrns at first with light intense
Then down to darkness dwndles;
No, no, it is love divine,
The same today, tomorrow,
Which burns alike in scenes of bliss,
And in The hour Of sorrow.
Oh, by the life and by the.dcath
or Him who rules abOve--
By all the holy feelings which
Adorn an angels love,
BY gentle Xephyrs soft and CALM
BY hope, by life, by death,
] shall adore and speak thy name
With my expiring breath.

Who'd be. q Bachelor

When life is so transient,
And rapid times tread;
When maidens are plenty,
And longing to wed;
Who would live single
And marriage decry
Who'd be a bachelor?
Who mot |.
Who does not wish for
A fond. hearted wife,
To share with the pleasures
And sorrows of life?
To cheer and sustain him,
When sorrows are nigh;
Who'd be a bachelor?
Who?-not |.
Who, when his garments
Were tatterod and torn,
Could mend them himself,
Without feelings forlorn?
When a thrifty wife's fingers
The needle 10 ply,
So neatly and cheerfully
Who?-not |.
When the body is bed rid
And writhing in pain;
When the fever is raging
And burning the brain;
Who would not then
For a gentle wife sigh?
Who'd be a bachelor?
Who mot |.
Lonely old bachelor,
Wretched indeed;
No one TO comfort you,
One thing you need.
Would you so happily,
Smiling through life?
Take to 60 with you
A true hearted wife.

THE H0 M + J0U RNAL
"PledgedtO no party's arbitrary sway,
We follow truth whereer she leads the way"
Tight Lacing.

We do not think it out Of place for
us, as the conductor of public jour-
nal, to give occasionally bit Of kind
advice to the ladies. We are now
going to speak of fault that is prac-
ticed by many who will no doubt read
this short article. We mean the con-
temptible and Notwithstanding prac-
tice Of squeezing up the waist in Or
der to make it appear small. Now,
young ladies, please, for your own ben
eft, heed what we tell you: A small
waist does not add to the beauty of a
form which nature never intended to
be thus distorted. 1t may attract the
attention of men, but only to be made
a subject of just criticism. No man
of sense can admire a girl more be-
cause of an unnatural, waspish waist.
And especially does such a waist look
out of proportion since the adoption
of hoops. We know that this tight
lacing is the cause of half the con-
sumption which now atflicts many of
the fair daughters of America. We
have seen young ladies Of our acquain-
lance in attendance at parties whose
corsets were so tightly drawn as to
render it difficult for them to breathe,
and in some instances little exercise
would have caused them to faint
Young ladies, do quit this silly and in
furious practice. We pledge you our
word, as close observer and an hon
est admirer Of you all las one ardent
ly anxious to see your cheeks ruddy
with the glow of health as in pristine
days,-as one acquainted with the
condemnation that little, corset
drawn waist receives from the opin-
ions OF the sex you seek to fascinate,
Jet us beseech you to leave off this
baneful practice-this pandering to
foolish vanity. Snuf.dipping and
novel-reading, though deserving great
censure, are minor evils when COM
pared with the detestable vice of tight
lacing. Young ladies, it is moral
sin, for by tight-lacing you unfit your
selves for becoming mothers, and your
children cannot be healthy.
We hope our remarks will arrest
the attention not only of young ladies
but command the mature reflection Of
every parent who reads them.

Oxygennted Bitters in Cuuuda.


Inc Editor oil the Montreal Pilot, Sept g 1885, says:
There is no medicine we take much pleasure in rec
ommending to our friends as DR.. Green's Oxygenated
Bitters. Unlike most proprietary medicines, It does
not profess to cure "a the ills flesh is heir TO- but
simply Dyspepsia and its attendant symptoms of de-
rangement of the stomach. 1t has long been held in
favor with our first medical men; some Of whom are
never backward in awarding merit where It belongs.
Its in our city has given it reputation sur
passed by no other similar preparation. Our attan-
ton has been called to this subject by young man
in office who had been suffering severely for some
weeks, from indigestion, loss of appetite, &C., having
been entirely relieved in few days by the use Of these
Bitters. There hundreds who will read this who
need such a medicine and would use it If they had
half the confidence in it we have.

Closing of the uIturaI
Fair Last Night

Last evening, says the Bulletin of Friday,
at the Mechanics Institute Pavilion, Messrs.
Riddle & Eldridge, auctioneers, speedily dis
tributed the fruits which have been for the
last three weeks so attractive a feature at the
Pavilion. The closing address, in the alb
sence of f. W. Macondray, President was
made by j. w. Osborn, Vice President from
the Napa district. He said:
Ladies and gentlemen Our exhibition
will now close with the sale of our fruit, for
the benefit of the Premium Fund, whose con-
tributors have not made other disposition of
them. But before closing am requested by
our worthy President, (who is too ill to be
here this evening,) and the Executive Com
mittee of the Horticultural Society to thank
you for your generous patronage. Citizens
of San Francisco, we do most cordially and
heartily thank you.
Our society, one year since, was invited,
as a guest, and in the feebeness of our early
growth, gladly twined its tendrils round the
pillars of your noble Institute But, like the
trees from which this fruit was plucked, pre-
cocious in its growth, the second year has
borne this crop. We are now here as part
ners in this exhibition and in the increase of
attractiveness of the whole, we are fully paid
back the nurture of the last year. As expe-
rience has shown us that justice to the whole
State cannot be done, by single exhibition
at this season of the year, if horticultural
success crowns our labors the coming year,
we design to have two exhibitions -one in
the early summer, one in the fall
We trust the present exhibition has con-
yinced you that the time is not distant when
California will supply herself with fresh
fruits, and need not import the dried in fact,
we think our dried fruits will be known ere
long in the worlds market In our endeavor
to crafty you we have surprised ourselves
for fruitgrowers exhibit to each other-and
we return to our homes with renewed faith
i'll California productiveness and in our own
capability. Nor does this effect rest with
ourselves alone; societies of other States have
sent their delegates to this and the kindred
fairs. The Keystone, the Buckeye State,
and young Iowa, have sent us their represen-
tatives-men who from habit, education, and
experience, are well qualified to Judge of Cal
lfornia attractions. Gentlemen, they are sat
isiied; they return not to make verbal re-
port We must bear the blame of their de-
tention captivated with our soil, climate,
and production, they remain, are with us,
and of us
And now, again thanking you for your
support, We leave you for another year, bear
ing with us the consciousness that the San
Franciscans, have been no niggards in their
praise or presence, at this our Second Annual
Fair.
