A writer in the Trinity journal relates
that in 1850 party of miners in the
mountains of Ell Dorado prospecting in an
Isolated place where they were without
fresh meats and vegetable food, were
afflicted with scurvy. Six of the worst
cases were planted in the earth up to their
necks and left alone over night with chew
of tobacco apiece. The result of this at
tempt at earth-cure might have been
happy, but for the fact u that in" the
night cayotes came along and ate off all
the six heads
Susan Altman, aged 90, drowned herself
at Marengo, Iowa, Thursday. She left a
note, saying that she was ruined under
promise of marriage by Samuel E. Norton.
Norton, it is stated, has fled, leaving behind
him newly married wife.
Miss Phoebe w. Cousins, who has gained
considerable reputation as lecturer on
woman suffrage and kindred subjects,
graduated as Bachelor of Laws, in the law
school of the Washington University, at
st. Louis.
Many ladies wear their bonnet strings
tied under the chiguon, and the long ends
down the back-a style that is becoming
to very few.
Ladies who wear much jewelry in the
streets cannot be accused of having very
refined taste.
I. ID. Rogers was found dead on his
wife's grave on Tuesday, at Lowell. He
had taken laudanum.
Shawls are now worn square over the
shoulders instead of being folded length
wise, as formerly.

Travellers always liable TO sudden attacks of
DyBentery and Cholera Morbus, and those occurring
when absent from home, are very unpleasant. The
PAIN KILLER may always be relied upon in such
cases. As soon as you feel the symptoms take one
teaspoonful in gill of new milk and molasses and
gill of hot WATER stir we'll together aud drink hot.
Repeat the dose every hour until relieved. If the
pains be.severe battle the bowels and back with the
medicine clear.
In cases of Asthma and Pythisic. take teaspoon
full in gill Of hot water sweetened well with mo
lssses also battle the throat aud stomach faithfully
with the medicine clear.
Dr. Sweet says it takes out the soreness in cases of
bonesettng faster than anything he ever applied.
Fishermen, SO often exposed to hurts by having
their skin pierced with hooks, and fms of fish, can
DO relieved by bathing with the Pain Killer as soon
as the accident occurs; in this way the anguish is
soon abated battle as often as once in five minutes
say three or four times, aud you will seldom have
any trouble.
The bites and scratches of dogs and cats are soon
cured by bathing with the Pain Killer clear.

thirteenth amendment, but reject the
fourteenth and fifteenth. This is progress,
although the advance has been small and
by slow degrees. In another decade the
Bourbons may recognize the two latter

"R. z. c." writing from Goshen, Va, in
forms us that there is an old gentleman
named Mr.. Y. Kelso, living near Bells
Valley, in Rockbridge county, whose ia
Their and mother lived together as man and
wife for the remarkably long period of six
ty-eight years, and raised a family of
twelve children, eight of whom are still
living two in the West and the other six
10 the immediate vicinity of Bells Valley.
The oldest child is near seventy years of
age, and the youngest near fifty. The old
lady, the mother of these children, is still
living in the same house into which she
moved when she was married, over seven
ty years ago. The old gentleman died
four years ago, in about his ninety-fifth
year This aged and happy couple were
never known to utter cross word to each
other, and the old man was never known
to strike one of his children The old lady
is still living and is in better health now
than she has been for number of years.

THE Tribune, in its notice of the Nav

The Tribune in its notice of the May
number of Harper's Monthly, says:
The Easy Char discourses wisely on litera
ture as profession, and on the scanty pay of
American clergymen. sThe clergy" SAYS the
Edsy Char, care the worst paid body of la.
borers in the country. They work with abili-
ty and zeal. They are educated, sensitive men,
often car efully nurtured, and they are expect
ed to be everybody's servant, to hold their
time and talents at the call of all the whimsical
old women of the parish, and of the selectmen
of the town." But for all that he does in the
capacity of "town beast of burden to carry
everybody's pack" the clergyman sis to be
glad to get pittance upon which he can bare
ly bring the ends of the year together, and to
know that if he should die of over work, as he
probably will, his wife and children would be
beggars." This is sound doctrine, and comes
with good grace from the Easy Chair, when
II could not be alluded to in the pulpit.

Some years ago, there existed in the noun
tains of Wales little tram road, a few miles
in length, its gauge was one foot eleven and a
half inches; it had curves of 1872 feet radius,
and grades 20 feet to the mile. Its engineer,
believing that the results of modern experience
indicated the direction of progress to be to-
wards diminution, instead of an increase in
width OF gauge, undertook to bring the ques-
ton to an extreme test by applying locomotion
to this line. The rail used weighed 30 pounds
to the yard and the engines weighed seven tons.
The passenger cars were ten feet long and seven
iset wide and capable. of carrying twelve per-
sons. The merchandise cars could carry three
tons each net.
The experiment proved a triumph, and to-
day trains over thousand feet long are run
upon this little road at speed of from fifteen
to twenty miles an hour, and with as much
safety as upon any road in England. Under
its reformed regime it is wonder of mechan.
icsl science and lamp of hope to the railway
forsaken, everywhere. In one year its tonnage
amounted to 1876, l32 tons, averaging 1883 tons
to each mile of road, and its passenger business
to 6,SO7 passengers per mile in the same year.

On Monday last went into effect the act
of Congress repeating all special taxes,
licenses, etc., except on distilled spirits,
malt liquors and tobacco. The reduction
of the receipts of internal revenue by
these changes will amount to between
thirty and forty millions of dollars. And
thus the Republican patty, in pursuing its
policy of economy, is able to lift the bur-
dsns of taxation from off the people and
at the same time reduce the public debt
nearly $40, 100000 per month.

1t is believed that by the election
which recently occurred three women
were chosen members of the London
School Board: Miss Garrett, NJ. d..
was elected for Marylebone, Mrs. Will
liam Grey for Chelsea. and Miss Emily
Davies for Greenwich. All Of these
names are prominent on the list of wo-
mar suffrage advocates. The celebra-
ted scientist, professor Huxley, was de
feated by Miss Garrett,
The Scotsman. while commenting on
the lady candidates for the recent
school election in London says: "Miss
Garrett speaks like an elegant elocu-
ZIONIST, and with considerable com
mand of language; while Miss Davies,
though fluent, is more practical and
logical than exactly eloquent. Both
ladies' are endowed with that excel
lent thing in woman a sweet voice
soft and low, but clear and distinct !;
and Of verify they won all the sympa-
thies ofthose they addressed.
The first wife Of Elder Pratt was
abandoned by that worthy pillar of the
Mormon Church because she refused
to admit Of other wives in her hus.
bands household. Pratt is over sew
enty years of age, and yet a short time
ago he had married Il young girl only
sixteen years Of age. He is a graz
headed grandfather, has more wives
than he knows what to do with, and
seems on the lookout for more.
The New York City Suffrage Asso-
citation recently appointed a committee
10 ascertain the views on the woman
question ofthe various representatives
Of this city in the State and National
legislatures: "Thc interviews with
the six Congressional representatives,
resulted in three pronouncing in favor
of the measure, two promising n favor
able consideration, and one promising
to vote for woman suffrage rs soon as
he could he satisfied that the women
themselves wished to vote" The six
State Senator'S, so fal rs heard from,
have not given favorable answers.
Wonders will never cease. At least
we so Judge from the following para
graph in the New York Times: "Bos.
ton voters viewed with astonishment
two women distributing votes at two
of the polls in that city on election
day" The chief Tonder about the
above is that it should excite any
der at all. Why should not ONE as
well as men be at the polls on election
day? Arc they not citizens? Have
they not an interest in the Common
wealth Are they not governed by
the laws? Have they not an interest
in the laws by which they are gov
erned? The Revolutions only regret
about the fact mentioned by the Times
is that the ono were simply eds
tributors' Of votes: they should have
been actual voters.
