BE Guided by what You Know

There is an old proverb which says, "EX-
perience is the safest guide" To this guide
the sick and ailing naturally turn when
casting about for the means of relief. They
inquire what medicine has done for others
before they adopt it themselves. or all the
remedies and preventives in use, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters meets the test most
triumphantly, and hence its immense pop
ularity and vast sales. The sufferer from
| indigestion is sure to find some one among
| his friends who has been cured of that all
| ment by the famous vegetable stomachic.
The victim of fever and ague, liver COM
plant, constipation, nervous prostration'
or general debility, has only to make inquiry
in the neighborhood where he resides in
order to discover that this standard restora-
tive has effected in cases similar to his own.
In the published testimony to its merits he
will find volume of proofs of It's sanitary
properties, which 1t IS impossible for his
| common sense to resist. He tries ii, and the
| effect IL produces on his system adds an
other to the host of witnesses in its favor.
Thus, its reputation, founded on facts, not
| assertions, continually grows and spreads.
Charlatans and imposters some OF them
mere local tricksters, and others who take
| somewhat wider range, attempt to thrust
| into the hands and down the Threats of in
| valids, their haphazard connections, as sub
stitutes for the tonic which for so many
wears has been medicinal staple through
| out the United States, Spanish America,
Canada, and the West Indies, but only sue
coed to very limited extent. In this
reasoninG:nge, the people, having ascer-
fidence, decline running after strange

THE Morgantown Consultation says
that SMITH who is now confined in the

murder, was in the Federal army dur
ing the war, and has been heard to
boast that upon one occasion he threw
a rebel prisoner whom he was guard
ing, off a train Of cars while in motion,
killing him instantly. The Constitution
attributes some portion Of his demorali-
cation and recklessness to the immu-
nifty which public sentiment in Nor
gantown, during and since the war,
has accorded to such crimes. SMITH
was one of the leaders of a gang OF
rowdies, who were always ready to
insult a Democrat, and ,was excused
and justified in doing so by many OF
the people. ...

BASS FISH In THE DELAWARE.

Some of the descendants Of the small
colony of Bass that General w. w.
SHRIvER, of this city, transplated in the
Potomac seventeen years ago are being
transferred to stock the Delaware.
About two weeks ago, seven hundred
and six black Bass were taken from the
Potomac at Harper's Ferry and trans
ported in huge tanks to the Delaware
river at Easton. Forty six hours were
occupied in the transportation Of the
fish, during which about one hundred
died, but the remainder swan off brisk
" upon being placed in the river, and
their descendants will doubtless afford
rare sport to the disciples of ISAAC
WALTON on the upper waters Of the
Delaware during many years to come.
The bass in the Potomac, which are
now very numerous and grow to large
size, were first placed there by Mr..
SHRIvER in 1854. In the spring after
the opening Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, he carried about dozen fish
from the Ohio in perforated buckets
made to fit in the water tank of loco.
motive, and placed them in the canal
basin at Cumberland, where they had
access to the river. They are very pro-
lifo-each female producing about thir-
ty thousand eggs in season-and their
holiness and strength protect their
young from. 1.-THE .ravages Of other fish.
The hundreds Of thousands Of bass now
in the Potomac have all sprung from
the dozen or more that Mr.. SHRIvER
placed there, and he may yet live to
see the Delaware and other streams
east of the Allegheny Mountains fully
stocked with excellent fish as the result
of his foresight and philanthropy.

1t is a very interesting nuddle as it
stands, but there can be no doubt that
the Shepherdstown people will be ulti-
mately compelled to yield. The first
removal Of the county seat was an in
excusable wrong; its restoration being

unwillingness to accept the situation"
We earnestly hope that wiser counsels
may soon prevail and that harmony
may be speedily restored.

At bush fighting ope Maori is more
than a match for five white soldiers.
In all other countries that England has
colonized, little regard has been paid to
the claim of the natives to their own
land but, in New Zealand, Govern
ment was forced to acknowledge the
claims Of the Maoris ,,-
At Wellington l once saw a rather
comical sight, showing how the chiefs
ape the whites. The steamer was just
about to sail, when hurrying down the
wharf came Maori, dressed as follows:
A black frock-coat, black waistcoat,
black silk hat, white shirt and fancy
neck-tie; in one hand an umbrella and
in the other a portmanteau; but with
out pantaIoons or boots. They were
probably in the portmanteau. All trav-
elers carried baggage, so he thong ut he
must do it even if necessitated the
taking off OF some of his clothing.
The Maori mode of salutation is
somewhat peculiar, and especially so
when the friends have not met for some
time. Instead Of shaking hands or
kissing, they rub their noses together
for several minutes, and then, sitting on
the ground, sway their bodies to and
fro, all the time shedding tears cop:-
ously, and talking mournfully in a
sing.song strain. The crying is not
necessarily because some relative or
friend has died, it is simply a. custom
of the people. -,
They begin their war-dance by jump
ing clapping the hands on the thighs,
and giving utterance to a short, pecu-
liar noise from the throat, like "Hu [!
HUI" They all keep perfect time In
this and as they continue the motions
become quicker and more exciting.
Soon come horrible grin,ances, rolling
of the ewes until the whites only can be
seen, thrusting out the tongue, and
yelling; in their fury and excitement
they sometimes tear off what clothing
they may have on, and with violent
gestures and contortions Of body they
continue until exhaustion compels them
to desist.-From "Lys in the Cannibal
Islands," in Scribner'S for April.

eter OF cylinder and 36-inch stroke, running
at speed Of s. to 20 revolutions per minute.
We have found serious difficulty in its

the parts moving the valve, resulting from
the steam pressure upon the valve itself
An endeayor was made TO relieve this by
the use OF rollers in q carriage under the
edges OF the valve, but with Indifferent sue

Of the moving parts. Some time since we
