Indigestion not only affects the physical health, but
the dispositions and tempers of its victims. The dys
psptic becomes, too, in a measure demoralized by his
suferings- He is subject to fits Of irritation, sullenness
or despair, as the case may be. A preternatural sensi-
tiveness which he cannot control, leads him TO miscOn-
strue the words and acts of those around him, and his
intercourse even with those nearest and dearest 10 him
is not unfrequently marked by exhibitions OF t~estineSs
foreign to his real nature. These are the mental phe-
DOmena OF the disease, for which the invalid cannot be
Justly held responsible, but they occasion much house

Our National DIsOrders-Dr. Robaek,s
Cnrea.

The American stomach is a tormeniing or
gan. ItIs generally out of order. The rea.
son is obvious. The driving man of business
has not time, or will not take time properly
to masiicate his food. He bolts it, and a.
bad habits are catching, ali classes follow his
example. Hence Dyspepsia, with all las
c. mplcations-hence Indigestion, Liver
Complaint and disorders of the bowels in all
their various phases. Against these and a
hundred other complaints, the scandinavian
an discriminating warfare. The success OF
these medicines has been astonishing, even
in an age of scient fc miracles. They do not
dReUiGte they eringuisL a disorder. The
agony, the fever, the debility, the despon-
dency, which characterize Affections Of the
digestive and secretive organs, vanish under
the Influence of these preparations. The
constitution itself seems to acquire new en-
ergy under their operation.

A Daughter Brings Suit Against Her
m~Other-Over a Million Dollars at
Barbara Diversy, formerly Mrs. Rose,
has filed, in the County Court, a petition
setting forth that the return of property
made by her mother. Mrs. Angela Diversy.
ADMINISTRATIVE of the late welI-known
brewer, Michael Diversy, is false in every
respect, and proposes to contest the distri-
button of the property. Mrs. Diversy was
made administrator on bond of $500, 900,
and the estimated value of the estate was
set forth as SAP, 099.25, of which S2I3, 600
was invested IN real estate, aud S22S. 600.
the share share of the deceased in Ellis
Brewing Company. The daughters petit
ton sets forth the following facts:
L. That she is the eldest daughter of the
late Michael Diversy; that the account of
property rendered by her mother, Angela
Dlyersy. is false In every respect; that the
real estate does not amount to S2l3, 900,
but to double that amount; that four
horses, valued at 81, 200, were not men
toned in the schedule; that there was
found in the house not S113, but 50, 600;
that the statement rendered set, forth that
there were no outstanding debts, while
there are outstanding and receivable debts
to the amount of $50, 900; in short, that the
property does not amount to S442, 600, but
at least 81, 600, 900.
2. That her mother, Angela Diversy, did
not confer with or speak to her or any of
her children about the matter, but acted
independently-accepting only The advice
of her sOn-in law, Julius Kirchoff.
3. Also that the petitioner and her sis
ter, Catherine Merckel, live in the same
house with their mother, but that neither
of them knew anything about the petition
or account of property until they read of
it in the Illinois Stats Zeitung.
The suit which promises to follow will
be very interesting, covering, as it does, q
large property, and a mother and daughter
being the disputants. Chicago Post.

were wrecked, burned, or otherwise totally
destroyed upon the great lakes. OF minor
losses there were enough to swell the total
sacrifices Of property TO ! ,9l4 disasters, great
and small, involving the loss of property es-
timated at a value of over four millions OF
dollars. InclHded In these misfOTtunes must
be mentioned the drowning of 209 seamen
out of the 103, 673 registered as officers and
crews of the l-fated ships. Such a loss Of
life and property as this implies an immense
traffic.
The lake marine employs over 100, 900 men
and seamen alone, not including the larger
number of stevedOres and lOngshoremen who
make up so large an elemen in all maritime
cities. The arrivals and departures at a sin
gle port, that of Milwaukee, we're more than
ten thousand in number during The naviga

In this immense interchange were principally

grain. Recollecting that the grain and Ium-
Der shipments are all from west to east, and
that the immense transportation of coal,

Is from east to west, we can gain some con-
ceptlOn OF the ~vastness of the fresh water
commerce lying to the north and west, all of
which is or ought to be tributary TO the har-

HORRORS ON SHIPBOARD.
Terrible Mortality Among Emigrants.
From the Now York Timesl

FrOm the New York Ilmes.l
Sanitary Superintendent Harris has just
received the report of the Waterside SAM
tarv Inspector, DR.. Johnson, in regard to
the ship John Berrau. This vessel, which
Is of us tons burden, arrived at quaran-
tine on the 10th instant, after a voyage of
IO3 days from Hamburg, more b half of
which had been spent in battling the con-
trary winds of the North Sea. The ship
started with AS German emigrants, who
stepped on board at Hamburg in ruddy
health, with all the stolid strength OF
Fatherland unimpaired. When the ship
came to anchor in the Lower Bay at the
close of this protracted and stormy voyage,
nineteen of these sturdy emigrants had
been committed 90 deep sea graves fifty
others had been prostrated by almost nor
tai sickness, and nearly all of them were
but the ghosts of the slalwart men, wo-
men and children who shipped at Ham
burg.
Upon examination the ship was Quad to
be in the terribly filthy condition naturally
resulting from the crowding OF so many
human beings in so small a space for SO
long a timc. Although the vessel had a
liberal supply of medical stores, h car
ried no surgeon, aud her medicines were
of little avail when i%gnorantly administer
ed. The sickness and mortality were ma
tsrially increased 10y the neglect during the
voyage of the simplest sanitary rules. -
There is no pretense that there was on the
part of the officers any Intentional neglect
or i'll treatment of the steerage passengers,
but the most deplorable results certainly
followed the Over-crOwdlng. which was not
their fault, and the protracted voyage,
which, of course, was a circumstance be-
yond their control. The sick of the vessel
were removed TO hospital, and IN Friday
last she was permitted to come to her dock
in the East river. She was officially visit
ed by DIR. Judson, who caused her 10 be
thoroughly cleansed aud had removed from
her two carloads of the refuse of the voy-
age, which was foul beyond description
Previously to this those of the emigrants
who were styled well because they were
not stretched upon their backs; were land
ed at Castle Garden. They we're able to
crawl upon the land they had thought to
reach in perfect health, hut ther seemed

Cold Charity of the World and Con-
slant Approximations of Arrest.
From the Cincinnati Chronicle. Jan. 20.
One day last week We published an ac-
count Of the escape of a convict who was
under sentence TO the penitentiary, from
the Jail at Liberty, Ind. Immediately after
the escape became known, the sheriff of the
county published the offer of a reward of
$50 to whoever would return the fugitive
to his quarters in Jail. Now this reward was
not sufficiently large to induce any person
to undertake a vigorous search, and so
there was no prospect that the jail-breakeI
would be brought back, except by mere
accident. The escape was the talk of the
town for q day or two, and of course every
body had to visit the Jail to see how the
escape had been effected, and to make such
suggestions as the occasion might call forth.
On Thursday morning last, about 10
O'Clock, while q party of gentlemen were
thus engaged, the door of the Jail opened
and a man walked deliberately in, making
the remark, Gentlemen, L guess YOU don't
know me-" A close inspection of the
speakers features, however, revealed the
fact that he was none other than the great
escaped, and in the conversation which en-
sued, he stated that after escaping he had
made his way southwark into Kentucky,
lodging FROM place to place, often suffering
from hunger, and continually haunted by
the fear that the officers Of Justice were on
his track seeking to rearrest him. In this
way he finally reached Lexington, KY, from
which point he retraced his steps, deter
mined to give himself up again to impris-
onment.
He further stated that he had about con-
Guided that while he was serving out his
term of four years in the penitentiary, he
could by hard work acquire some good
trade, which would enable him to obtain a
livelihood after the expiration of his term
of immurement. He was also sure that
he wOuld nave warm clothes in the peni-
tentiary, even if the suit he would wear
there should hardly be deemed a prosenta-
BILE one in which to appear in society.
The prisoner also showed that in return
ing he had dui,e an eye to business, for he
very modestly made claim to the convenient
little sun of $50, whichhad been offered as
a reward for his return. He could not see
why he was not as well entitled to the re-
ward as anybody else. Very much to his
regret the officers of justice Informed him
that they couldn't see it that way, and pro-
ceeded forthwith to induct him safely into
the most secure quarters about the Jail,
where he will probably remain until the
Sheriff conaucts him TO the great bastile of
HOosierdOm, which graces the banks of the
muddy Ohio at Jacksonville.

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
Wednesday about 5 O'Clock, an exciting
scene was witnessed near the entrance to tae
harbor. father had often forbidden his
boy, about nine years of age, from going up
on the dock, fearful that the little one would
by accident be drowned. Last evening upon
returning home he found that the boy had
disobeyed his order and was playing with
/ other children near the rivers edge. The
father FASTENED to the spot and somewhat
excited. grasped the boy by the shoulder and
despite his cries, tied the end of a rope about
his waist and sOused him in the cold water.
As he was drawing the boy up the rope was
loosened, and the little fellow, still strng-
CLING to get the water from his month. fell
the father was now most earnest. He
fairly yelled in agony and would
have jumped into the river himself, had not
bystandeTs anticipated his intentions and
prevented. The boy came TO the surface
once and sank again. came up and was about
to sink for the last time when a brave sailor
jumped from the dock and caught him by the
halr. When the boy was taken out lie was TO
all appearances hfeless, but the father clasp
ed the inanimate form IN his arms. Rugged il
close to his breast and kissed the wet lips
over and over again, while the tears fairly
flowed in streams down the mans cheeks and
his sobs could be heard by all. Carrying the
boy, AMI festowing endeaTing csresses as he
went along, to the nearest house, the little
fellow was soon brought to his senses and the
delight of the parent knew no bounds. He
kissed and embraced the boy and the sailor
and the physician over and over again, and
when the boy was able to walk still carried
in his arms to his home, alternately cry
ing and laughing so great was his joy. The
father received a lesson in the way of punish
ing his children that he will never forget, and
the boy will no doubt mine the advice given
by those in authority.

HOMEOPATHY
FOR

HUMPHREYS
VETERINARY SPECIFICS.

One of the great triumphs of Homeopathy is the cure
Of diseases of DOMESTIC ANIMALS. The Horse, the
Cow, Sheep, Dog, and even Hog, are cured of the several
diseases to which they are subject, by the small doses OF
Homeopathy, with a degree of certainty and rapidity
that is smasing. Some diseases incurable by the ordi-
nary means are rapidly cured by this method, while the
ease with which the medicine may be given and the
rapidity of the cure is perfectly delightful Moo one who
has witnessed the astonishing cures performed on
Domestic animals by HUMPHREYS VETERINARY
SPECIFICS would willingly subject them to the barbarity
tortures and the lingering uncertainty Of the old system
