II abi tuaI C~ostiveness or Constipation.

From this nllietion arises many OF tho slings OF man
kind. In our everyday walks OF life we hear people
complain OF Nervous and Sick Headache, Biliousness,
Inactivity OF the Liver, Piles, Listlessness, Debility, Loss
Of Appetite, Cholic Pains, Want Of Sleep at night, and
Drowsiness throughout tho day, Generally the cause of
all this train Of difficulties can be traced to Costivoness
or Constipation Of the Bowels, and a remedy Tor this
complaint Is what Is required but among tho multiple

all know that most cathartics, after thorough action on
the bowels leave thom in perhaps a Worse constipated
state than before the remedy was taken. This, however,

mildly, yet most effectively, on the liver, causing that
organ to throw oil tho accumulated morbid matter,

CUTTING BusHEs.-A writer in the New
Hampshire Mirror gives the following on
this subject:
The question is often asked by those who
have pastures covered more or less with
bushes, ''How can we kill them?" Many
think it hard if not impossible to kill
bushes by cutting them, especially the
white birch and some other varieties. But
it can be done. Cut your bushes the long.
est days in June, and they will not trouble
you more. You will kill them. / have
cleared Il number Of acres during pastyears
by cutting at that time and I have killed
them. On the land were white birch, alder,
pine, hazel, etc. H. do not want TO cut
more than two or three days in a year, / sc.
lect the middle longest days, as there are a
number Of days Of the same length In June.
There are other seasons ofthe year probably
when they can be killed, but / ! have proved
the above time, and have succeeded in get
ting rid Of quite q large quantity Of bushes

We all know that breast swimming is
the style commonly adopted all over the
world. Beginners commence on the breast,
and in nine instances out Of ten they con
tinue to move through the water on their
breast all through their lives. IL is in
water what walking is on land. To the
beginner il has the advantage of being the
easiest TO learn, and to the adept " has the
attraction of having 'last' about it. Long
distances are mostly Performed IN thisbiyle,
as being more steady and consequently
less fatiguing; so that here the breast fire.
duontly onquers its dashing rival, the

rather than for glory, we instinctiyely take

Curious BEES OF WEST Mexico AND Hon
DUBAs. "A Santa Barbam correspondent of
the san Francisco Bulletin says; The tame
bees of blanche are kept round the farm
houses in hives which are only hollow logs
Of wood which the swarm has occupied in
n wild state, which is cut offand suspended
in the corridors of houses, with a hide
thong, a small hole at one end giving in
gress and egress. The honey Of this bee is
contained in little bags, or bottles, two in
ches in length, ranged in rows along the
hive; but the cells for the young occupy
the central parts. Fourteen distinct spe-
cies of the apis are known in blanche tan
elevated country with a California climato,l
one of which legoUeritds) makes Il small
nest or hive, Of capsules, with q waxy COW
ering like ~isinglass, filled with a delicious
fluid genenlly used in medicine.
From Wells Notes We judge this last
species Of apis i the same as that producing
the fine honey of the island Of Jamaica,
which never clogs, and is of such aromatic
flavor as to be in special demand for
presents to Europe. TlRt in common
domesticGtion in the paridls Of Honduras
appears TO be the same as the Yucatan apis
or 0Bgelitos mentioned by Humboldt, and
nearly agrees with that described in large
III bNSNueg , NulllOlAhh NOghBc VI AcEf-ait
known in science as melipOnd beecheei, and
brought by the California Admiral from the
vicinity Of San Bias to England, a hive Of
which was presented by him 10 the great
Swiss Apsrian Huber, in 1928.
The hives OF these bees contain over / 900
insects smaller than ours, whereas, those
Of Europe nave from 10, 900 to 20, 900 OF
much larger size; but the Mexican insect
which is stingless, is raised with very little
trouble, and all the honey can be taken
out twice in the summer without disturbing
the bees, and rs they are widely separated
from the brood cells and honey sacks, or
bottles, which sack often measures seven
inches in length by five feet in diameter,
and the active little jokers continue on in
their labors as if nothing had happened.
The Mexican bee-masters assert that THEN
species have a sentinel always placed over
the entrance ofeach hive, which is relieved
every few hours, to keep a lookout for the
armies Of black ants their worst enemies
Several of the hives of the Angel bees were
brought TO San Francisco from Mexico in
1853, but we know not what was done with
them, though bee swarms we're then selling
from 500 TO $500 apiece. $1,000" .- 20

SULPHUR FOR RUsT IN WHEAT. There Is
an application of sulphur which has often
suggested itself to me ms promising very
beneficial effects in our agriculture, could
it be made with sufficient economy, refer
to the prevention Of the so-called red rust
which is so destructive 10 our wheat crop
in certain seasons, The disease of the
wheat is probably owing to q minute fun
gus, which attacks the surface Of the stalk
when the grain is forming, and so far dis
organizes II as TO prevent the ascent of
nutriment TO the stalk. Now, if sulphur
should prove as fatal to the ~cryptogram as
to that Of the vine, it might possibly, if
duly applied, save the crop. The question
Of its usefulness, however is one which can
only be practically solved whether in regard
TO the point Of efficiency or economy

-
The proceedings of the court yester-
day morning were of more than usual
interest, from the fact that the inexor-
able Ben Hazard was there to .enliven
the scene. 1t appears that Ben is nat
urally inclined to indulge in the Excess
sive use of. the ardent, and that when
under its influences is anything but
calm and serene. His reason was de-
throned OH Thursday by imbibing an
enormous quantity of bad, quarrelsome
whisky, and he felt like signalling HIM
self in some way, b. being low of
stature and inexperienced in the science
pugilism, RETAINED from making an as
sault upon any of his own sex, but wend-
ed his way home and commenced an I'M
cermonious attack upon his wife and
daughter with weapon i'll the
shane of large club. Officer Stroble
heard of the tumult and proceeded
to Ben's residence in the Second Ward,
and arrested him. He was brought be-
fore Judge Good, who administered a
severe castigation for the frequency of
his appearance at the Court for bad be-
havior, and gave him the full extent of
the law, which was twenty and costs.
The invincible Toby Vance was called
MP next, for being engaged in n fight.
Toby acknowledged tho corn" by con-
Tossing Judgment, and made little
speech to the Judge, promising to leave
the city for six months if His Honor
would discharge him, but the time spec
iiod by Toby did not meet the approval
of Mr.. Good, who was willing to ac-
quiesce to the proposal of Toby if he
would extend the term of Punishment
to two years. Toby couldn't see the
thing in that light, and was fined ten
dollars and COSTS Michael Friery was
up for raising a disturbance in the
neighborhood where he lives, and was
fined ten dollars and costs. None of the
fines were paid when We left the Court

Something Worthy Of Attention.

From time immemorial the Medical
Faculty have looked upon Cancer as
being incurable, except by timely OPP
Grafton with the dissecting knife, and
then only in a few cases ont of many
thousands who avail themselves Of the
Surgeons skill. That remedy is now
being used that will completely eradi-
cate this dreadful disease, has become
one of the fixed facts of the pres
ont age. DR.. Kisner, of this city,
is in possession of remedy
that has never failed whep properly ap-
piled in proper cases. Its virtues have
been tested in hundreds of cases to the
total eradication of the disease, without
the use of caustic or the knife, many of
these cases having been under the best
medical advice and treatment the coun-
try could afford, and found too far adj
vanced, and beyond hope for relief.
Among the many cases to which we
might refer we select that of Mrs.
Burris, of this city. who is ready to
satisfy any person to investigate the
genuineness of the cure. We would
also call attention to the cure of Mrs.
Frum, of Boothsville, West Virginia,
to whose case we referred several weeks
ago. This was very aggravated case,
and considered hopeless by number of
physicians whom she consulted. We
called at the Doctors, with whom she
is stopping, while undergoing the
process of treatment, and do
not know that We ever before
witnessed such dreadful sight from
the effects of disease. The diseased
mass separating from the healthy flesh
was taken out about ten days ago and
the wound dressed with an ointment,
which has the effect of keeping up q
constant drain upon the tissues, pro-
ducing discharge of peculiar fluid
termed cancer fluid by the Doctors)
amounting to as much as half pint in
twenty -four hours, thus removing every
germ of the disease from the surround
ing tissues, rendering the operation
doubly sure.
This cure for cancer and its wonder
full, effects are almost incredible, unless
witnessed personally, but its truth is
indisputable, and all persons who here
tofore hRYe been IN q state Of despair.

so much said about it that the gubJect

no means diminished. Almost every
day we hear steamsters complaining OF
the miserable condition of Zane street,
on the Island. We had occasion to
visit the Island yesterday, and find that
the reports in regard to this street have
not been exaggerated in the least we
saw two horses, attached to wagon
loaded with coal, stall in the mire on a
dead level, and at last accounts the
wagon was still sticking there. When
we say that the street is almost impas-
sable, we mean that it Is with the
greatest difficulty that horses are ena-
bled to navigate with an ordinary load
If the mud continues to increase, we
think the residents in that locality will
have to procure poles to find their way
or we fear some OF them will be lost.
