singular Phenom eno o.

Referring to the recent tornado in
Tennessee, the Glllatin Examiner, of
January Goth, says: The roar of the
winds was absolutely terrific. To those
who looked out upon the war of the
elements, was presented sight which
can never fade from their memories.
The sky was not crowded with thick,
impenetrable clouds, for the "strug-
Cling mOonbcams' misty light" lit up
occasionally the face OF the earth, and
the ragged edged clouds in confused
separate masses scuddsd through the
heavens like broken masses of armed
battaliOns of men daShing wildly over
the field of battle. The lightning OK
hibited equally as singular pm 9nOmena.
Ordinarily blaze is followed by an in.
tense blackuess as the eyes become blind
ed with the brilliancy of the bolt, but
not so on Monday incoming. For long
minutes the whole armament was
ablazs with soft, almost violet colored
tint which rendered every objoct as
plain as at MONDAY. The lines of the
northern ridge, at which tho writer was
gazing, stood oat in bold relief, the
trees of the forest, even, appearing as
distinctly as tn eugh but hundred
yards distant. The earth almost seemed
Gin state of repose, mellowcd over with
the tingeo of the aurora borealis, IN vivid
contrast to the wild, maddening career
ing clouds overhead bearing lestructian
in their bosom. Beneath it was if the
wand of an enchanter had been waved
over earth, commanding peace and
beauty and light-above as though the
furies aud harpies were carousing in
wild orgies. This strange manifestation
appeared more than once before the
cessation of the storm.

American PersererRnce.

The Figaro tells this story: The other
day His Holiness the Pope was visited
by an American lady, Protestant She
had her right arm covered with chap.
lets, and asked His Holiness to bless
that arm. The Pope did so with his
habitual JUNCTION. When he saw that
the lady then did not leave the room, he
blandly said to her: Anything else
madamer Eyes, your Holiness, want
your portrait" "Ah, my portrait 7"
said Plus the Ninth, there it is" The
lady took it but did not stir. What
furtherp asked the benignant Plus.
"Your signature to the photograph,
Holy Father" said the lady,
with perfect imperturability. The
Pope, knitting his brow a little, signed
his name to the portrait. Still the lady
remained motionless on the chair. "Can
/ do anything else for You, madame 7"
inquired Plus. in a tone of decided
Brightness. yes, Holy Father" replied
the American lady, ~ desire to have the
pen with which You signed your name
to your photograph" Now the Pope
lost his temper, and, Selling the pen ard
his inkstand, he held both OF them out
TO the lady, and exclaimed, rather excit
edly, "Here, madame, is the pan, take
it; and here is the inkstand, please take
it, too" She took them both.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

1.-THE life of the flesh is in the Blood, is
Scriptural maxim that science proves TO Dc true:
The people talk of bad blood. as the cause oil
MANY diseases. and like many popular opinions
this of bad blood is founded in truth. To say
nothing of those humors thst are hereditary, we
can easily see how the Blood may become Dad
from the imperfect Digestion or failure OF eH
cretion, and how this may influence the process
of Nutrition. and thus influence all the func.
tional activities of the body.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digeston-causes imperfect nutrl'
ton, and conseG uently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues lose their tone and elasticity,
and the tongue becomes pale, broad, and ire
Guently covered with pasty, white coat. Ihls
condition soon shows itself in roHghnesS OF the
skin. then in ERUPTIvE and LUCRATIVE diseases,
and when long continued, results in serious
LESSONS of the Brain, Liver, Lungs. or urinary
apparatus Much, very much, suffering is caused
by impure blood, 1t is estimated by some tnat
one fifth of the human family are effected with
scrofula in some form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so liable
to any disease. Many impurities OF the Blood
arise from impure diseases of large cities
Eradicate every impurity from the fountain OF
life and good spirits fair skin and vital strength

A BrookIyn Leg.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
The discovery of leg-a human leg
in an ash barrel in front of drug
store at the corner of Willoughby and
Prince streets, on Monday afternoon,
caused q terrible excitement in the
neighborhood of the Court House and
City Hall yesterday. There were some
recently fledged limbs of the law who
aimed to talk learnedly as to the greed
of the Coroners for undertaking to in
vestigate tie mystery Of the
original source of the leg in ques-
ton, inasmuch as it was not a
body but merely part of body. A Su-
pervisor, learned in the law, reminded
some of the disputants that his Board
had, on Monday, resolved to increase
the Coroner's fees from $40 TO SIS a case,
and that "bcdy" had nothing to do
whit; it WAS merely necessary to have
a case; and the Coroner had the same
right to hold an inquest on one
leg of a man as upon the body ola man
with but one leg. A third one web
tured the inquiry, "Who ever heard of
a Coroner holding an inquiry on a
'casef "It's body it's body | tell
YOU" OF course such a learned dis
cussion on the claims OF the leg in Ques-
ton to have an honest hold on it, or
the right of the Coroner to hold an in
quest on it, was very interesting; but
the intelligent Alderman who had just
emerged from Grogan's laboratory
seemed to think he had strong point
in hand when lie raised the questions
which he said would defy all tho Cor
oners in New York aud Brooklyn-H
the leg came to its deathl Whether it
was diseasedl Was il the leg of a
dead mani Was it the leg of live
mani Was it the leg OF n man at all
1t might belong to woman; and
if it did, was it the appendage Of q liz
ing or q dead woman Was 1T Dutch,
Irish or American legl Did it ever
assist its owner to so tho polls on cleo
tion day TO cast a ballot that was sure
tSbe counted outi Could the CoroneTs
or any Of them tell how old leg it was,
or when it was cut OFF, However, Cor
oner Jones seems afraid to proceed with
the inquest, and satisfies himself with
merely requesting the former owner of
the founding limb, whoec yer it may be,
to come forward and give it decent
burial,

The Eligibility of senator Elect


Some of the republican journals in
the West are discussing the question
whether Hiram Z. Revels, the colored
Senator elect from Mississippi, is entitled
to q seat in the Senate, in view of the
declaration of the constitution that no
person shall be Senator who has not
been nine years citizen of the United
States. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that the fourteenth amendment
was proposed by the radicals for the
purpose of removing the bar to negro
citizenship. 1t declares in its first Sec
tion that "all persons born or natural
lied in the United States are citizens of
the United States" TIE ground the
Senate will take in the case of Revels,
ifany question is raised, which is not at
all likely, will be that when the four
teenth amendment says that "al per
sons born or naturalized in the United
States are citizens from the date other
naturalization, and persons born IN tho
United Sta ties citizens from the date OF
their birth.

CURE of
Diseases of the Nervous System,

Almos. nine-tenths of our people suffer from
nervous exhaustion, and are, therefore, liable to
its concomitant evils of mental depression, con
fused IDEAS softening of the brain, insanity, and
complete breaking down of the general health.
Thousands are suffering to-day with broken
down nervous systems, and, unfortunately, to-
bacco. alcohol, late hours, over-work, (mental
and PHYSICAL, are causing diseases of the ner-
vous system to increase at fearful ratio.
The symptoms to which diseases of the ner.
,eus sytem give rise, may he stated as follows
A dull, heavy feeling in the head, sometimes
moro OF less severe pain or headache; Periodical
Headache, Dizziness Noises or Ringing in the
Head; Confusion of Ideas; Temporary Loss of
Memory; Detection of Spirits; Starting during
Sleep; Bad Dreams; Hesitation in Answering
Questions; DullAess Of Hearing; Twitching Of
the Face and Arms, &C., which, If not promptly
treated. lead to Paralysis, Delirium, Insasity,

Roilod yyhenr for Cows.

In many sections wheat, at the pres
ent time, is the cheapest grain that can
be fed to stock. We have found boiled
wheat excellent food for mich cows
When wheat costs less than 81 20 pei
bushel, give the cows from two to four
quarts each per day. 1t need not be
ground. Put it in kettle and cover il
with water, add little meal, and boil
until it bursts open. If the pigs gets a
little of the same article it will not
hurt them.

shall we Sow Barley ,his Spring 2

If You have been in the habit of SOW
ing barley, and your land is well suited
for the crop, do not change your system.
Barley is as likely to pay as any other
crop. But if you have never raised bar
ley, do not rush into its culture simply
because it has, for year or two past,
paid better than wheat. Barley requires
the best of soil and culture, and few
farmers, who have had no experience
with the crop, would be likely to sue
coed the first year.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.

Persona unacquainted with tho structure and
functions Of the Kidneys Cannst estimate the
Importance Of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys
is as important, nay, even more so, than Iegu.
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from
the Blood those efrete matters, which if permit
ted to remain would speedily destroy life. A
total suspension of the urinary discharges will
occasion death in from thirty six to forty.eight
hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities
at the time, or when there is n disposition to
Urinate more frequently than natural, or when
the Urine is high colored or scalding with weak
ness in the small of the back, il should not be
triied with or delayed but Koskoo should be
taken at once to remedy the difficulty, before a
lesion of the organs takes place. Most of tho
diseases of the bladder originate from those of
the Kidneys the Urine being imperfectly Sc.
creted in tho Kidneys, prove irritating to the
Bladder and Urinary passages. When we recol-
lect that medicine never reaches the Kidneys
except through the general circulation of the
Blood, we ses how necessary it is to keep the
Fountain Of Life Pure.
