DISORDERS INCIDENT TO SPRING.

In the spring of the year pil-makers reap rich
harvests from the sale of their nostrums. single
dealer has informed us that in town Of 5000
people, between the first of March and the first Of
June, he has sold as many as nine hundred boxes
of pills. Of course they had been puffed we'll by
almanacs devoted to that purpose. The reason
WHY there is always such demand for physic in
the spring, is because when the warm weather of
March and April comes, people keep on eating too
much food, more than can be managed by the
stomach except during the cold winter weather.
The result is, the stomach is overtaxed, the liver
and bowels obstructed the blood deteriorated, and
the patient, for want of knowledge, knows no bet
ter than to resort to physic The true method to
be observed in such cases is, on the approach Of
spring, to eat less food, and that of milder ma
ture. The brown bread should take the place Of
the white, if white is used in the winter. More
fruit should be taken. Avoid stale vegetables.
If you have not good potatoes, eat none, for poor
potatoes are very unwholesome Ifyou have good
potatoes, bake or boil them, and not fry or hash
eat with fresh cream instead of gravy or butter.
Use freely of canned fruit, or we'll kept apples at
least one meal Avoid fat meat, pastry, cakes rich
buildings, and live simply and naturally. Every
family should put by for spring use sufficient good
fruit, to have it abundant in March, April and
MAY, and as soon strawberries rpen, they should
be used freely. Strawberries for those who have
attacks of the disorders incident to spring. are one
of the best remedies that can be used. We pity
the family that does not have them in abundance,

Sm:-Observing that the dreadful malady Of
hydrophobia has become somewhat prevalent, sud
in many cases fatal in New York and vicinity, I
beg leave to acquaint you that there is remedy,
which, as far as know, has never failed Il has
been used successfully, as an antidote for hydro
phohia, suake-htes, and the bites Of eeutipedes,
scorpions, adders, and other poisonous animals.
It is 80 eeacious that it has been adopted By the
Governments Of India, New South Wales, Vicso-
ria, Tasmania, Queensland, South Australia, b.,
and introduced by me successfully in Egypt The
remedy is under the control Of the GesesnnsBss
above mentioned, and administered By duly sathor-
lied and qualified physicians, and being no sserst
and well known to my brethren Of the medicd pro-
fessioa, I have much pleasure IN making it public.
Its administration mainly depending upon the
constitution, age, habits &C., Of the victim, must
be carefully effected, otherwise, instead OF doing
good, would be attended with the most disastrous
consequences

In early sumner, and wo have known many cases
of inyaids being greatly improved by their free
use Wilson, the ornithologist, was once ordered
by an Indian doctor to live on strawberries in order
to cure an obstinate dysentey, and to bis surprise
he was cured in less than week. The tomato,
which can be canned in almost unlimited quanti-
ties, 80 as to be as fresh and good in the spring as
in autumn, should also. be freely used, and not
as an occasional luxury but as regular article Of
Diet They are especially wholesome at this sea-
son of the-year. These simple rules followed, will
in most cases prevent much disease and suffering.

On the way to the house, which was three o.
four streets distant, Mr. Hudson's attention wa
attracted TO three young men, who were taking
very loudly, and acting in rowdy manner, push
ing each other against the passers-by, and making
rude, insulting remarks to them. 1t so happened
that Mr.. Hudson wore white hat So whel
these fellows passed him, they looked behind ane
said: 30, what hat ~ "Who stole the don
lkey?" 'The man with the white hat p and sim

faster than he did, they were soon out of sight.
The boarding house was reached, the bell rung
and Mr.. Hudson admitted. The servant said thai

door. Mr.. Hudson knocked, and the door wa

Charles Semour stopped here, and his face turned
deadly pale at seeing, instead Of one Of his boor
companions, his venerable employer. 1t was sew
eral seconds before he could recover his speech
II beg your pardon, Mr. Hudson; you must ex
cuse me; expected friend this evening, and
in the dim light of the entry, I thought you wer'
be. Walk in, sir, and sit down."
Mr. Hudson entered the room, and was some
what surprised to see there the identical thres
young men who had insulted him in the street
they were smoking cigars, and had their feet ele
yated on the bureau, mantelpieoe and -bedstead
Mr.. Hudson saw at once that be was very IN
welcome guest The room was in confusion, anl
Semour's actions were painfully awkward. Never
theless, his employer started conversation, ane
had been there about ten minutes when footstel
was heard on the stairs, and then the door opened
q little way, and bottle Of champagne came roll
ing across the floor, followed immediately BY {
round Dutch cheese, bunch of cigars, and tws
more bottles-Semour looked dreadfully distressed
but could do nothing. It was fourth friend whe
had been out for refreshments, and took this face

MI. Hudson thought it was time for him to 90; q
he took his leave and returned to his home = 1t Il
almost needless to say that Charles Semour's s, en-
joyment Of the evening was decidedly marred By
this unexpected visit. He and his friends had ar
ranged for jolly good time, 49, . ..... >.
Mr.. Hudson was not long in making up his MIND
as to which of his clerks would make the mos
faithful and efficient partner; and in less than
week it was announced in the papers that Herber
Bond was a member of the firm Of "BepjamiE
Hudson & Co." It was happy day for Herbert
for he could live at home again, amid the scene:

fore he managed the business himself, and became
. wealthy man.

The PROPOSED Tunnel BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
FRAScE.-A London dispatch of March 9th says: Mr..
H. Beckett appointed by England and France to make
report to the praccablity of establishing nn-
mel through Dover Straits has published the result of
bis investigations in paper which he read before the
Dudley Geological Society. According to Mr.. Beck
et the waters between England and France are shall
low and the bed of the ocean is made of an mperme-
to be in the surroundings Of Paris and in Britain
From this analogy in the character of the soil, he is
induced to think that both countries were formerly
united and that they have been separated by some re-
cent convulsions of nature The work of tunneling
the channel he declares to be easy one. His idea
is to build double tunnel each provided witha single
track the construction Ct which would not cost over
ten million pounds.

CoTToN IN 1860 AND IN 1S6S.-The Agricultural Re-
port in discussing this subject forces the conclusion
that the product Of cotton per hand will be at least
onchird less annually than before the war while the
cost OF production has quite doubled. In 1860 the
average product to the hand in Alabama was four
bales, four hundred pounds each and the average cost
of production from four to five cents per ponnf
In 1868 the average in Alabama is less than three bales
to the hand, and the cost of production over eleven
cents pound. AT these rates, the cultivation is prof
ltaoe, and wosld be far more so with better system
OF labor Ii fertilizers used for cotton, and labor
saving machinery supplant the deficient services Of
the negro, better results will be obtained and intel
ligent planters working to this end.

THE PHYSICAL Use OF THE SABBArH.-Whcn the
English House of Commons raised a committee to in
qnlre into the effects of making instead of six
working days in the week, the investigation brought
out the following testimony Of the renowned London
physician, DR.. Richard Fare: ''The ordinary exer.
tons of man run down the circulation every day of his
life, and the first general law of nature by Which God
prevents man from destroying himself is the alernat
ing of day and night, that repose may succeed action
Bat although the night apparently eqalises the circu-
ation yet it does not sufficiently restore its balance
for the attainment Of long life Hence one day in
seven by the bounty of Providence, is thrown in as
day of compensation to perfectly its repose the animal
system. Researches in physiology by the analogy of
the working of Providence in nature will show that
the divine commandment is not to be considered as an
arbitrary enactment, but appointment necessary

| An EXCURSION HOTEL CAR.-The hotel car that is
designed to accompany the first through train from
San Francisco to the East has been completed at the
Central Pacific shops It is thus described by Cali
fornia exchange:
1t is divided into large number of compartments
one lined with zinc for meat, several for groceries
vegetables, etc. one with wire door for live fowls,
large tanks for fresh water, all arranged as neatly and
| compacly as can well be imagined. At one end Of
the car there are several berhs for the accommoda

having both rubber and steel springs is probably one
of the easiest riding in the State.
