SPECIAL NOTICE.

Science Edyances.-As soon as an article pur-
porting to be of utility has been tested, and
its merits Endorsed by public opinion, I'M
principled parties endeavor II to replenish their
depleted purses by counterfeiting, and sub
stltuting a spurious for the genuine article.
Sometime since, mercury, in the disguise OF
pills, powders, etc, was given for all diseases
OF the stomach and liver, while quinine was
freely administered for the chills. II length
H~OSTETTER's STOMACH RITTERs made its
advent, and an entire new system of healing
was inaugurated. The beneficial effects of
this valuable preparation were at once ac-
knowledged, and mineral polsons suffered to
sink into that obscurity TO which an enlight-
ened age has consigned them. There have
been many spurious Bitters palmed upon the
community, which, after triad, have been
found perfectly worthless, while HOSTEL
TIERS has proved a blessing to thousands,
who owe TO it their restoration TO health.
For many years we have watched the steady
progress of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS in public estimation, and its benihcent
effects as a cure for all complaints arising
from the stomach of a morbid nature, and we
are free 10 say that it can be relied upon as q
certain relief and remedy. Its proprietors
have made the above preparation, AFTER years
of careful study and sitting, and are now
reaping the reward claimed by thiSsvaluable
specific, and which they so richly merit. 1t
is the only preparation of the kinbthat is re-
liable in all cases, and it therefore demands
the attention of the afflicted.

A MiRAGE-INrER NATURAL
PHENOMENON
From the Sank Centre Mimi Herald.

From the Sank Centre Mimi Herald.
Different inhabitants of the vicinity Of
Of Sank Lake have, on several occasions,
been puzzled by optical illusions at
times appearing upon the lake. As these
cause is net understood by some, we
will give an account oflhem a. described
by the spectators. The latest exhibition
of the kind referred to, which has come
to our notice, occurred on Wednesday of
last week, and was witnessed by Messrs.
Ira and Sylvester DOty. As they were
coming down the lake on the ice with
teams, they observed at some distance
of what they at first supposed to be q
team with several men walking briskly
about it, and from appearance they
thought that some persons had nat
with an accident On the ice and were
engaged in extrieating thems Ives from
their difficulty; but upon approaching
the spot they discovered that the object
seen was not team, but pack of ff-
teen or twenty wolves ct play AT about
the same time they noticed point of
timber apperantly extending out into
the lake, at which they were much per-
picked, for being perfectly familiar with
the locality, they knew there was no
such piece of timber there. All at oree
the wolves ran into the point of timber
and for q moment were out of sight, but
soon reappeared with many more added
to their number. This was repeated
several times, each time the number
being augmented, till finally there were
over two hundred of them frollieking
together upon the ice, and out and outin-
to the point of timber. At times both
timber and wolves would entirely disap.
pear, and after moment. become visible
again. During considerable portion
of the time before the apparition finally
vanished, the parties had approached SO
near to the locality of the objects repre-
scented that the outlines of each were
clearly defined and distinctly visible.

pressing bis elbows hard against his
sides and rubbing downward. After a
few smart rubs, his hide began to burst
along his back. He kept on rubbing
until he worked all his skin into folds on
his sides and hips; then, grasping one
hind leg with his hands, he hauled of
one leg of his pants, the same as a-ybody
would; then stripped off the other hind
leg in the same way. He then took his
cast off skin forward between his fore
legs, and swallowed it; then, by raising
and lowering his head, swallowing as his
head came down, he stripped off his skin
underneath, until it came to his fore legs,
then grasping one of these with the
opposite hand, by single motion of the
head, and while swallowing, he drew il
from the neck and swallowed the whole.

WOMEN AND DRESS.
What Modern Civilization Has ID one
What Is Brilliant and PleforfaI

what Modern Civilization Has ID one
What fl Brilliant and Pictorial.
Modern civilization has made it posi-
BILE for all women to display their love Of
dress and decoration. The confused and
lncongruous state of the art is to be at
trouted to the fact that it has been left
wholly to the feminine mind, which,
abandoned to itself, is lawless and Graves
ior excitement. Dress, as an art, never,
until our century, was wholly abandoned
70 one sex; and it never has been mora
varied and ostentatious among women
than now. 1t has lost gravity and sim
plicitY Of effect it is full of license Of
dazzle, of display; it is sometimes z
quisitely frivolous oftenest it stiles the
weak personality of our feeble women
The women Of our cities are dressed lik ,
regiments; they overload themselves
with meaningless trimmings; We have
everything but the simple and unobtru
sive which charms US in pictures II
Greek women, in the women of the
French revolution, in women Of the time
of Washington, in the contemporaries Of
Chateaubriand.
The much-abused classic painter
David made beautiful and simple cos,
tune fashionable in France. French
women were never more exquisitely
dressed than during ais epoch. The
mania for trimmings, which is most
violent among American women, is of
itself sign of a corrupted taste-it does
more thaa any other cause to retard the
aSeendency Of pure and simple taste.
Although women are so universally
gifted with the artistic instinct, they
have touch Of folly, love Of change,
which prevents them from producing the
finest results Of the artistic faculty. They
have lapses, they are dependent; they
easily fall under the rule Of arbitrary and
debating minds. An incurEble frivolity,
an unconquerable love of attracting at
attention, has always made them acile
agents to propagate false taste, ard rem
der them insensible to the charm Of the
models Of unostentations epochs, Of
epochs truly gifted with the sentiment
of beauty.
Dress AMI decorations no more receiv-
ing the attention Of thu serious and re-
strained minds of men, manifest the con-
fusion and incongruity of the tightly and
unrestrained minds of women. The
feminine mind is incapable of originating
beautiful fashion. 1t is too receptive;
it is too impossible. 1t goes through
the ages to bring back piece of patchr
work. Women mix and NEEDLE and
stimulate; they give to our streets and
halls variegated, flashing, exciting as
pect, which at the best we may call
brilliant and pictorial. They encourage
arti6ce rather than art; they prefer
crowded, ostentatious and novel things;
for the artistic instinct, free from the
masculine mind, is wilful and unreason~
ing; it asks only for excitement. Ii
women have made so much confusion
and ostsntatiOn in the domain Of taste,
left to themselves, would they increase
the harmony Of, and develop justice in,
legislation? What answer ??-Apple.

How superstIIIOus Negro Was
SWIndIed.


How n SuperstItIOus Negro Was
sWIndIed.
From the New York Sun. Marc q.
Samuel Thompson, half Indian, half
negro, known as the Indian root doctor,
was tried in the Newark Court Of Ses>
sions yesterday, for practising Wiichcraft
upon q negro name1 Cesar RemfseD.
The story is q very curious one. The
negro is an Industrious man, but seems
to be Ovsrstocked with credulity, and
and Thompson easily gained almost un-
limited control over him. He first in
formed him that within q circle of fifty
miles Of Newark the ground WAS filed
with roots or herbs in which evil spirits
resided; that if Caesar came in contact
with any of these herbs, as he was likely
to do, his life and ths lives of the mem
bers of his family would be jsopardised.
When the negro had become sufficiently
ALARM ed, Thompson informed him that
he had "power to exercise q counter
acting influence" His price, how
ever, was fifty dollars. As Caesar had
not the money he gave Thompson a rife
worth more than that sum. After a
short time Cesar was informed by
Thompson that his life was again in
| danger Of spirits who peryaded his house.
To ward off these Thompson would give
him charm for $50. Caesar again had
not the money, but Immediately surren-
| dered q new American watch, for which
be had paid $34 short time before. He
4 n u
piece, wrapped up in ball Of worsted
yarn. He, however, was troubled again,
and Thompson, by similar promises, ex>
torted various sums Of money from him.
His superstitious fears in the meanwhile
grew so rapidly upon him that his family
threatened to leave him, and brought the
case before the police, who arrested the
swindler. The gun and watch were
found in a pawn-broker's establishment
in this CITY.

ONCE. During the late presidential
campaign, Francis P. Blair, Jr., an
nounced that if Grant was elected
resident, he would proclaim him
self dictator before the end of his
Term. Can it be that he had an
mixing Of this scheme which is
now being made known to the pub.
nc, or that his words are to prove
prophetic? If not, then what does
all these mysterious movements and
secret organizations, backed, as is
we are told they are, by leading
and influential members of the
Union League in this city and
Philadelphia, mean? Is this not
treason, and are not those engaged
in it rendering themselves liable to
prosecution under that head.
