We call the attention of our readers
TO the law card of JESSE G. RAINEY,
Esq. One of the greatest evils with
which this country was afflicted in
days that are gone, was the immortality
of professional men. Genius was wor-
shipped, though covered all over with
the hieroglyphics of sin, and the effect
has been balcful and blighting. A new
era is dawning, when immortality will
be condemned, and moral worth out
weigh the erratic Hastings of genius.
The young gentlemen wkom we now
present to our readers is not only a
well informed young lawyer, but a
christian gentleman, of the Presbyterian
type. No lawyer will give more prompt
attention than he, as none more deserves
the patronage of the public, in coliec-
ton of accounts, to which he gives es-
pecial attention.

HOW A SPIDER BUILDS IT'S NESTS.

w. G. Richmond, of Geneva, Ohio
sends to AppletoR's Journal, the following
account of how q spider builds it's web
81 While at work one day in the field, /
laccidently destroyed the web.of com
mon spider, Curious to know what the
little creature would do in its great cal
amity, made myself. comfortable and
awaited results. The spider, not in the
least disheartened by its Loss, Immediate
ly ommenoeds~building another web.
1t first described a circle-not regular,
but agreeing with the irregularities of
the spires of grass on which it was sus.
pended In verticle position. Having
strengthened this outer line (Which nay
lbeslikened to the felloe of carriage
Iwheel,) by passing around it several
Iti4aes, adding each time thread, it pro
decided to form the spokes. It assembled
ito the upper edge Of the circle, and secur-
ing its thread, swung off, slowly descend
ing to the lower edge, where it fastened
the other end. Ascending this last form
ed line to about the centre, and fasten-
ing its thread, it proceeded again to the
circumference, thus forming another
spoke in the wheel It continued this
operation until enough spokes were made,
then, beginning at the centre or hub, it
passed round and round in charging
circles until it had formed some six or
eight threads, about ne-fourth of an
inch apart. This, noticed, was not
done with that care which marked its
subsequent work but it was only intend
ed Gas | afterward saw to be sort of a
stay-lath, and not permanent affair
1t now darted to the outside of the web,
and commenced to weave on the woof,
which was done by passing thread from
spoke to spoke around the wheel, in
diminishing circles, the distance between
them being determined by the lengthof
the spiders hind legs, for itwalked on
the line spun at the previous revolution,
and guided the new thread with one of
its hind feet, holding toward the centre
as much as possible, and allowing it to
run between two of lis claws around a
pulley. AS it passed over each spoke it
would with this hind foot press the
newly formed thread to 1t, thus firmly
uniting it. in the same manner it pro-
ceeded On until it came to the stayrlaths,
when it fell to work, and, in a twihkling,
tore them away, and soon finished its
work, and retreated to the corner to
await the approach Of some luckless fly.
Twice during the operation its thread
broke. but, not noticing it until it got to
the next spoke, it did not retrace its
steps, but fastened it where it was, thus
leaving abreak Nearly all of the webs
that l have examined have the same de-
feet That which surprised me most was
the extreme rapidity of the spiders
movements, as it was not probably more
than ten minutes from the time of sdes

Z. A SINGULAR BATTLE.-Tle Geneva
Courier says: We witnessed a battle the
other day SO singular in its nature asto de-
serve mention. On one of our princi-
pie streets, robin had built its nest in a
tree. In the nest were three or four eggs,
which tempted the appetite of a squirrel
who CHANGED to spy them. He made a
raid on the nest, and was just about pre-
pairing for sumptuous feast, when the
proprietor of the invaded domicil arrived.
Seeing what was going on, the robin
made dive at the squirrel, inficting a
wound with his ,beak. Then ensued one
of the most lively scrimmages ever wit.
messed. Up and down the tree with the
rapidity of lightning ran the squirrel. the
robin in hot pursuit. From one limb and
branch to another, they darted, both
chattering and chirping in the utmost ex-
element. The robin would fly off q rod
or So. and then dart, like an arrow from
. bow, for tie squirrel, inficting telling
wounds. It was soon evident that the
squirrel was getting the worst of it, and
he thought SO too, for he finally forsook
the tree for the ground, and beat q hasty
retreat. He didn't allow much grass toI
grow under his feet as be made tracks
for safe quarters. The robin, apparently
satisfied with having driven her antago-
mist from the field, did not give further
pursuit, but returned to her nest in very
frustrated state. Her victory was signal,
and she is doubtless now rejecting oyerl
it with self-satistied equanimity. @

THE LOST TREASURE.

*, The Courier DIES Etats Unis supplies
several additional particulars to the &C
count given by the Public of Paris, of
tie missing treasure of Louis XVI. TIE
Golfer which contained the Jewels and
the title deeds was richly chased, and
was removed from the Chateau of men
don during the night of the 10th of Jan
uary, 1893, by four personages OF distinc-
ton, intimate friends of Louis XVI and
Marie Antolnette. With the assistance
of some servants it was carried in a
chariot to the confines of the forest of
Bondy, and thence by strength of arm to
a clump of trees, where deep hole had
been prepared, then it was coated with
lead to preserve it from rust, placed in
the hole and carefully covered up with
earth, The actors in this nocturnal ex-
petition doubtless thought they would
be able, after while, to come back for
the treasure and carry it to sure place
but they were tracked and taken, con-
demned and put to death with the ex-
ception of one of the party, who succeed
ed in escaping from the country. This
survivor was a serving mao. Twenty
years afterwards he returned to France,
and the first thing he did was to go to
The forest of Bondy and search for the
royal chest, the place of whose conceal
ment had been designated by bench
marks cut in the ground at the time it
was buried. But he had not gone far in
the forest before he found that he must
renounce the hope of finding the chest,
for the changes which had taken place in
the aspect of the locality made it abso
lutely impossible to identify it. He was
overcome with disappointment, and lived
wretched with the thought that some
where close to him Icy an immense for.
tune, the existence Of which was known
to him alone, and not knowing whether
he ought to reveal the grand secret to
any one or not. At last, on his death bed,
he determined to speak out A female
relative became the confdant of his
secret, and she applied to the Admins
tration of lands for authority to make
search for the chest. This authority was
granted together with the promise of a.
large indemnity in case of success. But,
this search could not be carried on pub
licly; it would not do to call the, atten-
ton of others to it, whose cupidity would
certainly be excited. Therefore it was
in the night, when all around was hush
ed in silence and sleep, that man, the
sole person employed, tested the soil Of
the forest by means Of an anger. But
one night labores named Faure, surprised
the old man at his mysterious work, and
he set to work, searching on his own
account. Accident threw into his hands |
a manuscript whose existence was I'M
known, aid it appears that this docu-
ment indicates the precise locality of the |
chest. In consequence of this discovery
Faure now solicits authority to prosecute
the search, but the Administration of
lands refuses to grant it, alleging that
it has expended 100000 francs already
IN the matter. Hence petition has
been presented to the Corps Legisiatif
for its Intervention It is to be hoped
he valuable papers, at all events, will be |
recovered. -

WHISKY HAS BEAT HM.-There is
scarcely community or neighborhood
from Maine to Oregon, where this saying
is not used, almost every day in the year,
and is altogether too true. A subject of
this kind is to be found in almost any
town. The merchant has failed and
whisky has done it, The Lawyer with
brilliant talents and a large business, has
fallen below the range Of responsibility
and confidence; whisky was the cause.
The politician, with bright prospects be.
fore him, has played cut, and the account
is charged to whisky. The Judge, of tai.
ent, age and responsibility is the sub
ject of private and neighborhood talk.
His enemies point with derision, and his
friends hang their head in shame, and
whisky has done it. That kind hearted
neighbor, and hard working man has be.
come pest in society, and trouble to
his family Whisky has beat him. Whis.
KY will beat any man living, and that is
just what it was made for.-Ercbongf.
The above should be read by every doc
tor, lawyer, merchant, editor and bust
ness man. It Is a true picture

Allow me to call your attention to my
PREPARATION OF COMPOUND EX-
TRACT BUCHU. The component parts
are, BUCHU LONG LEAF, CUBEBS
JUNIPER BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATIoN:-Buch in
yacuo. Juniper berries, by distillation,
to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by
displacement with spirits obtained froIa
Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and small proportion of spirit 1t is
more palatable than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is
of a dark color. 1t is plant that emits
its fragrance; the action of flame de-
stroys this Gts active principle leaving
a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine
is the color of ingredients The Buchu
in my preparation predominates. The
smallest quantity of the other ingredi-
ents are added to prevent fermentation;
upon inspection it will be found not to
be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacopoea,
nor is it Syrup-and therefore can be
used in cases where fever and infamma-
ton exist. In this, you have the knowl-
edge of the ingredients and the mode of
preparation
Hoping that you will favor it with a
trial, and that upon inspection it will
meet with your appreciation,
With feeling of profound confidence,
