How 70 Have Good Fish.

We all know how superior is a fish
prepared for the pan as soon as
caught compared to one that has been
allowed to die. Few, however, are
aware of the cause of the difference.
The reason is this: The fish transferred
to the pan from the water is killed be
fore it is cooked, while the one that
dies is diseased, and its body is not
In a proper condition TO eat when
brought to market. The difference
between them is exactly that between
an animal that is killed by the
butcher and one that dies of fever,
for the supply of oxygen that the fish
receives when taken out of its native
element is so great as 20 induce a
fever, of which it perishes.
The superiority of the fish of Hol-
land is remarked by all who eat them
and the reason is that as soon as they
are caught the Dutch fishermen stick
an awl in their heads, aud they are
not brought to market with fabby,

True HerOism.

The battle of Aliwal was fought
on the 18th day of January, 1916. 1t
was the bloodiest in modern history
up to that time; since then it has
been eclipsed in its sanguinary char
acter by Inkermann, by Solferino,
and by SadoWa. At one time the
Sikh cavalry had we'll nigh captured
Sir Harry Smith himself, who was
obliged to shift his position in conse-
quenee. At this moment an officer of
his staff was struck by fragment of
she'll, which shattered his right thigh
and hip joint in hideous manner.
Some men of his troop, seeing him
fall, obtained leave to run to his as
sistance. and in few minutes he was
on stretcher and being carried to
the rear.
The men were devoted to him, and
they carried him through that dread
full field of slaughter with as much
care as ii conveying a baby in its
cradle. When within a short dis
tance Of the Staff Surgeons tent. they
came upon private of the --th regi-
ment lying desperately wounded. The
poor fellow looked up piteously and
touched his cap, as he recognized his
officer in agony on the stretcher.
Captain G called to the men to
halt, and to raise him up slightly;
leaning over, he soon saw the nature
of the soldiers wound, which was far
less dangerous than his own.
Lift me out" he said; 81 can't
move; you lift me out; tbat'Il do,
gently-yes, that's broken, too" Gas
they touched his spine,) "So-now
carry him to the doctors; they can
do nothing for me, not too late for him
little more So" (facing the
enemy, that's it."
But, sir -" demonstrated one of
the men.
BE quick with him, then come
back; I'm not likely to have left this"
he added, with slight smile.
The men did as he ordered, and
depositing the wounded trooper, they
went to Captain c.. He had not,
indeed, left that; he lay facing the
enemy still, and tho playful smile
with which be bad addressed to them
his last words, fingered yet on his
face; but his troubles were over; vic
tory or defeat were now alike to him. |
and he had left the field of strife for |
that peaceful world where dwell the |
spirits OF the Just made perfect.
The instances of men hopelesslv |
wounded refusing to monopolize the |
doctors, are by no means rare; and If
a battle field is sometimes the scene
of outrages at which humanity shud-
ders, it occasionally provides US with
instances of unsurpassed heroism and |
self sacrifice.

Protect Your Eyeslght.

Millions blindness was the result
of over work and dyspepsia. One of
the most eminent American divines.
having for some time been compelled
to forego the pleasure Of reading,
spent thousands of dollars in value.
and lost years of time In consequence
of getting up several hours before
day and studying by an artificial light.
His eyes never got well.
Multitudes of men and women have
made their eyes weak for life by the
too free use Of the eyesight, reading
small print aud doing fine sewing.
In view of these things. it is we'll to
observe the following rules in the use
of the eyes.
Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness.
Never read by twilight, or moon
light, or on a very cloudy day.
Never sleep so that on waking the
eyes shall open on the light of a win
dow.
Dc not use the eyesight by light so
scant that it requires an effort to dis
criminate.
Never read or sew directly in front
of the light, or window or door.
It is best to have the light fall from
above obliquely over the left shoulder.
Too much light creates glare and
pains, and confuses the sight. The
moment you are sensible of an effort
to distinguish, that moment cease,
and talk, walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth
green, it would seem that the ceiling
should be a blush tinpr the carnet
green and the walls of ONE mellow
tint.
The moment you are instictively
prompted to rub the eyes, that mo !.
meut cease using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up, do not forcibly open them,
but apply the saliva with the finger
it is the speediest dilutent in the
Woodland then wash your eyes and
face in warm water.

fevered flesh, as in England and in

fevered flesh, as in England and in
this country.
Not only is the favor OF the fish
thus killed far superior to those that
die Of fever, but the effect upon the
human system is not injurious. How
common is it to hear the remark that
fish make people feverish. So they
do, as would the flesh of any animal
that dies of fever.
We trust that some of our fisher
men will see this article and profit by
it. Let the fish they take be each
killed with an awl driven into the
brain. It will not take a second to
do this. and it will be found that the
favor of their killed fish will be so
far superior to that of those who die
of fever that they will be bought 10
preference, and after awhile people
will buy no fish but those that have
been killed.
Try the experiment, fishermen, and
you will be richly rewarded.-Nortolk

THURSDAY. JULY II. 1870.

THE following dispatch was re-
ceived last evening. 1t is a singular
proceeding for Mr.. Weir to telegraph
US that he accepts William Smith
proposition, but we presume it is for
the purpose of having it printed. and
we insert ii on the same terms we
published Mr.. Smiths advertise
ment.
We suspect, however, that Mr..
Weir has seen Mr.. Van Ripper, who
left the city in a hurry on Tuesday
morning, and from him has learned
that the location of the Water
Works must be changed up
town. AS we have already inti-
mated. that change involves a diff
ference in the profits of some thirty
thousand dollars, and like Mr.. Weir,
we would Willingly be content with
profit of twenty thousand dollars
rather than stand the increased cost
growing out of the locations of the
works up town.

Positions Of England. France,
Spain and Prussia.
NEW York. July 13.-A cable
special to the New York Herald dated
London, July IL, says the formal
withdrawal of Prince Leopld has
been telegrepbed to Madrid. His
action is based solely on the ground
that IN consequence of the insult
which had been offered to Spanish
honor, the Cortes would be guided IN
their vote by the determination to
uphold the independence of the ma
ton, and therefore the election would
not be spontaneous and sincere ex-
preston in favor of the Prince, with
out which he would not be willing to
ascend the throne.
Prussia maintains her dignity in
tact, and yields not an inch to the
French demand.
The British Government has ad-
dressed circular note to its repre-
sentatlVes abroad. defining its posi-
ton on Spanish affairs. The note
deprecates the discourtesy of Spain
in concealing from friendly powers
negotiations with foreign Prince in
connection with the Spanish throne;
regrets the threatening tone of
France, which is calculated to OBJ
struct explanations and an amicable
settlement. and approves of Prussia's
position, in the absence of proof. of
her completely in the intrigue, while
the election of Price Leopold would
be destitute of political importance.
England will do all in her power to
induce him to Withdraw, in order to
preserve the peace of Europe.
