THE NEW FOOD.

For a few cents you can buy
of your Grocer or Druggist a
package of SEA MOSS FARINE
made from pure Irish Moss or
Carrageen, which will make
sixteen quarts of Blanc Mango,
and a like quantity Of Puddings
Custards, Creams, Charlotte
Russo, &c. It is the cheapest,
healthiest and most delicious
food in the world. It makes a
splendid Dessert, and has no
equal as a light and delicate
food for Invalids and Children.

The Pestilence at Buenos
Ayrea

Rarely 10 modern times has there
been seen more sorrow strickS 81 CON-
muuity than that of Busuos Ayres.
This city, which last year contained u
population Of zoe, 900, has been visited
during the los, tew months, begiosin.
in January, tho beginning Of summer
in the Southern hemisphere, by the
yellow fever in its most malignant form
of black vomit, and 10000 persons
have been carried of by the dreadful
pcstilcnce. The fight from the city
to the Interior was so general that a,
tho timc when tho fever ragged most
fercey there were no more than -,
900 inhabitants remaining.
Private letters received from citizens
Of the Uuited States living temporarily
in Buueos Ayres represent the condi-
tion Of the city as having been dread.

countrymen foil victims to tho malady
The dead 10 some instances lay fcster-
Ing iu the dwellings for the want OF
coffius 10 which to bury tbom or bca,-
ere to carry them TO the grave. Friends
who heroically remained to nurse
those dear to them wero struck down
in turo. aud the bravo aud the strong
Of one day were the victims of the next
IT seemed as If the sntirc population
was about to be swept away.
Besides the horrors Of the pestllcnce
the city suffered in the month Of May
by severe aud general Commercial
panic All business had been sus.
pcuded for weeks, in consequence OF
the fight to tho country districts, and
many even Of the larges, commercial
houses had been closed Tho conse
qucuce was that many bills went to
protest because the drawers and on.
dorsors could not be found Death,
perhaps had found them, aud enforced
payment Of the last debt ofall.
At the present advices the fcver haj
not disappeared, although the city
was beginning to assume its wopted
aspect Of trade AMI animation. But
there is danger that the fever may
; break out again any moment when fresh
material shall have been introduced for
it to work upon. As in our own
southern cities, when these have been
devasted by the same scourge, tn,
refugees by returning too sooa ay
cause the temperance of tho pesti-
lence. Buneos Ayres has no system
Of sewers, and the surface draining il
bad. Although the winter has begun
that season is never rigorous there
and the precautions hitherto taken to
c;eause and purify the city are said to
be wholly insufficient

Put Yourself in His Place.

It's q very good rule I n all things Of life,
When judgipg friend or brother,

But slways to turn 10 tho ether.
We are apt TO be selfish In all our views,
In the jos,ling, bcadlong race;
And 10 be right, ere you censure 9 man,
Just "put yourself in his place"
Il Is very hard TO he just--io know
The reason another may give
How much he has Struggled, and fought
and striven,
How honestly tried to live:
How much been heated been sorely tried.
Ere the wrong he was forced TO embrace
And " you would learn these things, thu
way
Is to put yourself In his place"
There's many Q man crushed down by
shame,
Who blameless stands before God,
But whom his fellows have utterly scorned,
And made TO 'pass under the rod; -
Whose soul is unstsined by the thought Of
sin.
Who will yet find saving grace,
And who would be praised where you now
condemn,

The Latest California Sensa- =
lion,

The latest sensation comes from Cal>
iiornia, or rather from . California
newspaper, ir the shape Of an account
Of the death of an old man who had by
dint of long study in tho mystery Of
chemistry discovered the means Of
setting tho ocean on file, aud who to
prove the reality Of his discovery, set
On FIRE aud burnt mountain lake to
the last drop, leaving its bed burnod
aud baked like the hardest brick Be-
ing poor and in want, tho discoverer
Of tho wonderful secret threatened to
set the Pacific Ocean on FIRE, aud tins
burn up the world, unless the p,oplo
Of San Francisco should place in his
hands 81 ,000,00J within q given time.
Notwithstanding the most desperate
efforts Of those who had witnessed the
burning Of the lake, ouly halt million
could be raised, and they became sat
isfied that tha only way in which tho
impending doom could be averted was
to destroy the discoverer and with him
the terrible secret. With that pur-
pose in view they induced him to take
passage for New York on Pacific
railroad train in company with ono
whom he trusted, who was to watch
his opportunity and at som, oppor-
tune moment to push him from the Car.
This he accomplished to his own salts.
faction, aud to the great relief Of his
co workers. At q particular point
in the Rocky Mountains, the narrator
tells US, he pushed the great chemist
from the platform Of the car where he
fell down several hundred feet, .
shapeless mass upon the jagged rocks
below, and thus according to this Cal
ifornia sensation, the Pacific, % well.s
other oceans, was saved from being
burned up.
