suppose that no country has ever
had such power of invention, und yet
such stunted intellectual development
as China. The Chinese is the largest
yet beyond its own realm the least inAu-
entail, Of monarchies. From China no
mission ever started, no conquerer ever
marched. Before all people in rudmen-
tai invention they are behind all people
in development. They had gold and
silver coins before the first Daric was
minted, yet they traffic by the scales to
this day. They first had gunpowder,
but have got little further with its free
use than to blaze it away in crackers.
They were long beforehand with the
magnet, but no junk ever crossed the
ocean except in tow of British ship.
They have printed from time to time
immemorial, but their literature awakens
no progressive intellect. They have
made glass for two thousand years, and
ordinarily do not make it clear enough
to see through. Their astronomy isl
still! astrology, nor has their chemistr,
awoke from the dreams of alchemy.
They have polteness, but its odd form,
and slavery of etiquette only make them
more unsociable. They have a wonder
(1l language, but its elaborate cleverness
is curse and fetter to their minds.
making it the labor of life to learn to
read. They are not without notion OF |
dignity but the men find it ia nails long
enough for claws, and the women in feel
crushed into shapelessness of hoofs. In
the South Atlantic there is a seattle
Great Sargazo. All the currents pass
by it, the winds of outer waters seem
never to reach it. Dull, dead, heavine
waves just move the heaped-up tangle OF
weeds that grow, and the drift of wrecks
that rot in that stagnent, melancholy
ocean limbo. China is the Sargazo sea
of the ocean of humanity. The Chinese
are the Rip Van Wrinkles of our race.

J A STRONG INoLINATIoN.-C Goblet
who lived for more than a year at Hamp

tell laughable stories at the expense o
the Quakers, some of whom lived in BIZ

he would give half his fortune to get rid

Quaker, who thereupon bad an interview

o the proposal and accompanied the
Quaker to his house, where, after chang

FAMILY SEWING MACHINE.

THE WILCOX & GIBBS Family Sewing
L Sewing Machine, is the hest Machine, with.
out regard to price for Family Sewing, Braiding,
Hemming Telling, Tuckiug, COrding. 1t forms
fiat, even seam, which will not rip in wear even
when cut at frequent intervals, and makes the
tightest and most elastic seam, for Full Cloth, of
any Machine stitch.
A peculiar feature of this machine, which de-
serves particular attention, is PATENTED De-
VICE, which prevents the possibility of setting
the needle wrOng-and one which prevents the
Machine being turned wrong.
The Wilcox & gibbs Hemmers and Fellers
are the only real practical Hemmers in use, and
are worth one half of the price of the Machine,
over all others for family use. They form a mar
row. light hem or fell, far nicer than can be done
by hand.
The feed has no tendency TO draw soft, light
goods down into the machine, but will sew Linen

Il is acknowledged by all who see or use this
Machine that it is the easiest to learn to use and

How to Cure Indian Corn for
Fodder.

OAAACls
2 Having received several letters max
ing inquiries in regard to my method o
, curing corn fodder, l thought / woul;
give my method for publication.
In order to have the fodder good, the
corn should be cut up while it is vel
green--that is, before the leaves and
stalks begin to dry up. Any time after
the corn becomes hard Tor glazed the
corn may be cut without injury to the
grain.
make Sanction for the shock by
tying the tops of four hills together, then
the fodder should be set up in the ar giles
as nearly perpendicular as possible. AT
ter setting up six or eight hills, the tops
! should be tied together with a wisp Of
grass or stalk /; this makes a firm begin
nlng for shock. The shock should
contain at least IA hills, as the larger il
is the less proportonately it will be ex-
posed to the weather. Bear in mind
that the stalks should be set up as nearly
perpendicular as possible. Lastly the
shock should be well tied at the top with
band of rye straw.
Corn put up in this manner will not
fall down before husking time. | usual
ly husk my corn in from four to six
weeks after cutting il up. When corn is
husked, The fodder should be tied with
straw in convenient sized bundles for
pitching, and it is better to put the stalks
from two shocks into one, and tie the
tops as before then, if the weather is
dry, it may be hauled at any time and
put in stacHs convenient to barn. There
S no safety in putting it in the NOV,
however dry it may appear, for the pith
n the butt of the stalk is a great absorb.
mt, and as long as the stalks stand on

o spoil the stalks if put into a NOV, but
when they are stacked up so that the
butts come to the sun and air the stalks
will not spoil.

10000 DOLLARS REWARD

IT is estimated that 100000 persons die annu-

and Professor Eberly says, that a vast number
Of these could he saved by the timely use Of
some proper remedy.
DIR. HALLS BALSAM strikes at the root of
the disease AT ONCE, and such is its speedy ct-
feet, that any one using it freely, according to
directions, for twenty four or forty eight hours,
and not entirely satisfied with its merits may re-
turn it and receive back his money. The most
distressing cough is frequently relieved by a
single dose, and broken up in a few hours time

1t has effected cures in numerous cases, where
the most skillful physicians in this country and
in Europe have been employed, and have eXer-
csed their skill in vain. Cases which they pro-
nOunced incWa5ie, and surrendered as hopeless
beyond a doubt, leaving the patients without a

And these cases are not isolated ones they are

Be slow, then, to believe the oft repeated story
about the lungs being gone; or rather let no
such apprehension induce YOU to give up. Act
upon the principle that ,yhjle there is life there Is
hope. You can NEVER BE so Low that you NAV
