An Extraordinary VIII,

Sol Hewes Sanborn, an eccentric old
halter of Medford, has made one of the
oldest Of wills, and, anxious to enjoy
the notoriety of it in his life time, has
published it. He gives his body, says
the Springfield Republican, to Profes-
sor Agassiz and DR.. O. w Holmes, to
be placed in the museum of anatomy
at Cambridge. But he wants two drum
heads made of his skin, on one of
which shall be indelliby written,
"Pope's Universal Prayer" and on the
other the declaration OF independence;
and on these drum heads shall be
beaten the national air of Yankee

18th OF June. The parts of his bodies
useless for anatomical purposes are to
be composted for a fertilizer 'to nour

The Lowest Tvpe Of HnnIanifv.

The following extract is from an ar
ticle on ''Barbarism and Civilization.
in the Atlantic Monthly:
''On the Island of Borneo there hag
been found a certain race Of wild Great
ures, of which kindred varieties have
been discovered in the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, In Terra del Fuego, and IN South
America. They walk usually, almost
erect on two legs, and in that attitude
measure about four feet in height
They construct no habitation, form no
families, scarcely associate together.
sleep IN caves or trees, feed on snakes
and vermln, ants eggs, on mice, and
on each other. They cannot be tanned
or forced to any labor, and are hunted
and shot among the trees like the
great Gorilla, of which they are
stunted copy. When they are captured
alive, one finds with surprise that their
uncouth jabbering sounds like artic-
ulate language. They turnup a human
face to gaze at their captor, and females
show instincts of modesty, and, in fine,
these wretched beings are men,

been accomplished the health improves, and
the patient resumes his usual personal appear

ed worldwide popularity in such cases, and
have been proven the best and safest means of
removing constipation, toning the stomach,
giving energy to the liver, and relieving every
symptom of nervousness and depression of
spirits. Its cheering and beneficial effects are
highly spoken of by thousands, who owe to it
their restoration to health. No restorative in
the annals Of medicine has attained the same
popularity in the short space of time it has been
before. the public, o, has won the high endorse

other preparations, purporting to be correctives
and restoratives, have been introduced, and
have persisted one by one, while the popularity
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters continues to in
crease, and is now recognized as standard
household medicine. The success which at
tends the use of the Bitters evinces at once its
virtues in all cases of debility and disease Of
the stomach. Certificates, almost without
number, have been published, attesting its tru-
ly miraculous power in removing those painful
and fearful diseases. And at this time it seems
idle to do more than call attention to the great
remedy of the age, in order to awaken public
attention to it's excellence. 1t is the only pre-

seemed only to be assembled for the purpose

l. The delegates to the Convention to be
elected by ballot
2. At the time of eectng delegates to the
Convention let full ticket be voted for, for
all officers to be elected at the ensuing election
8. Provide for suitable persons, at each e.
lection precinct, to act as judges of election,
and to hold the polls fron,--o'clock to-
o'clock p. m.
4. The judges of election to furnish the del
egates elected with certified statement Of the
number of votes cast and the number Of votes
received by the different persons voted for al
said election.
s. The delegates elected to report the re-
suit of said election to the Convention.
6. The person or persons getting the ma

declared the nominee or nominees of the Con.
vention.
7. In case of tie vote at the primary cleo

elections.
This plan can hardly be Objectionable to
the people, because by it the nominations are
made by the people in their primary elections
