THE DEAD SEA.-The old story, that no crea-
ture can live in or near the Dead Sea, is ex-
ploded. The last traveller in that region,
French sauant, writes as follows: s.From the
summit of the mountain we have just deserted
presenting the most dismal aspect, appeared
to us like splendid lake, glittering in the
sunshine, with its blue waves gently breaking
on the sands of the softest beach. Through
the transparent water appeared a white tint,
which enlivened the shore. We guessed at
once that this was owing to the salt crystaliz-
ed under the water, and, when near, we find
that our conjecture is right. Are we now to
be convinced that no living thing can exist on
the shores of the Dead Sea, as has been so Of
ten repeated We ascertain the contrary fact
the very moment we touch the shore. a flock
of wild ducks rises before and settles on the
water out of gun-shot, where they begin sport
ing and diving with perfect unconcern. As
we advance beautiful insects show themselves
on the gravelly beach rocks are flying and
screaming among the rent cliffs of the steep
hills which border the lake. Where, then.
are all those poisonous vapors which carry
death to all who venture to approach them
In the writings of the poets, who have en-
phatically described what they never have
seen. We are not yet five minutes treading
the shores of the Dead Sea, ard already all
that has been said of it appears as mere crea-
tions of the fancy. Let us then proceed fear
lessly forward, for, if anything is to be dread
ed here, certainly it is not the pestilential in
fuence of the finest and most imposing lake
in the world.''

A plan has been submitted to the Russian

LORENZO Dow, the celebrated itinerant
preacher, once came across man who was
deeply lamenting that his axe had been stolen.
Dow told the man if he would come to meet
ing with him he would find his axe. At the
meeting, Dow had on the pulpit, in plain sight,
big stone. Suddenly, in the middle of the
sermon, he stopped, took up the stone, and
said ssAn axe was stolen in this neighbor-
hood last night, and if the man who took it
don't dodge, wiil hit him on the forehead
with this stone 2, at the same time making
violent effort TO throw it. A person present
was seen to dodge his head, and proved to Be
the guilty party.

PAT ALL OvER.-A poor emaciated Irishman,
having called in physician forlorn hope,
the latter spread huge mustard plaster, and
clapped it on the poor fellows breast. Pat,
with a fearful eye, looking down upon it, said,
ssDocther, docther, dear, it strikes me that it
is dale of mustard for 50 little mGte.''

RIcH.-The ssSpiritual Harbinger,'' paper
printed in Rochester, n. Y, and advocating
the Spiritual Rapping Mania, in one of its ar
ticles, used the following language:
SIN the twelfth hour the glory of God, the
life of God, the Lord in God, the Holy Proce-
dure, shall crown the Triune Creator with the
perfect disclosive illumination. Then shall
the creation in its effulgence above the divine
seraphine arise into the dome of the disclo-
sure in one comprehensive revolving galaxy Of
supreme created beatitudes-''
After copying the above paragraph, the 'sCa-
yuga Chief' responds thus:
ssThen shall blockheads in the jackassical
dome of disclosive procedure, above the all
fired great leather-fungus, Peter Nipninnygo,
the Gooseberry Grinder, rise into the dome
disclosive, until co-equal and co-extrusve and
conglomerated lummaxes, III comprehensive
mux shall assimilate into nothing and revolve
like a bob-tailed pussy cat after the space
where the tail was Can the sHarbinger' un-
derstand our Spiritual Manifestations ?''

APPLICATION OF KNowLEDGE.-A very val
liable pocket knife was once dropped into
twenty feet well half full of water. "How
all the water from the we'll ?'' The writer
proposed to use strong horseshoe magnet,
near by, suspended to cord. ssBut We can't
see where to lower the magnet, so as to touch
the knife ?'' ssThrow the suns rays down on
the bottom of the well by looking-glass,
was the second answer. 1t was done, the
knife rendered visible from the top of the
well, the magnet brought into contact. and tho
knife brought up-all being accomplished in a
minute of time.
The two parts Of pump bucket screwed to-
gether, were to be separated in repairing it,
so as to introduce new leather packing. But
it was old, rusty and firm, and what the force
of three stout men, with levers affixed to it,
could not do, brains did. The outer part, or
socket, (into which the other was screwed }
was heated, and the inner kept cold-the heat
expanded it made it large, and a force of less
than ten pounds separated the two portions.
Ground shoppers sometimes are fast in bot

Prof. o. ]. Wood.-Dear Sir Some time az
summer We were induced TO use some Of your
Hair Restorative, and its effects were so wonder
full, we feel it our duty to you and the afflicted, to
report it.
Our little sons head for some time had been
perfectly covered with sores, and some call il
scald head. The hair almost entirely came of in
consequence, when a friend, seeing his suferinps
advised us to use your Restorative, we did so with
little hope Of success, but, to our surprise, and
that Of our friends, a very few applications re-
moved the disease entirely, and a new and luxu-
riant crop Of hair soon started cut, and Sc ean
now say that oir boy has as healthy a scalp, and
as luxurianta crop Of hair as any other child
We can therefore, and do hereby recommend your
Restorative, as a perfect remedy for all diseases Of
the scalp and hair. We are, yours respectfully,
