Permanent Effects of Strong Drink.

In the Herald Of Health is an article
from which we clip the following, as
showing the evils of intemperance in a
new light, and adding another novel
and startling argument to the many al
ready advanced against the use of in
toxicating liquors:
"The history of four generations of a
family, as sketched by M. Morel, dis
tinguished French writer, is full of
instruction in this matter. 1t is as fol-
lows:
First Generation. The father was
an habitual drunkard, and was killed in
a public house brawl.
"Second Generation. The son in
herited his fathers habits, which gave
rise to attacks of mania, terminating in
paralysis and death.
"Third Generation. The grandson
was strictly sober, but Was full of hypo
chondrical and imaginary fears of per-
secutions, ETC., and had homicidal ten
denotes.
"Fourth Generation. The fourth in
descent had very limited intelligence,
and had an attack of madness when
sixteen years old, terminating in stu
pidity, nearly amounting to idiocy.
With him the family probably becomes
extinct. And thus we perceive the
persistence of the faint in the fact that
generation of absolute temperance
will not avert the fatal ISSUE"

"Fiye Years in One Place."

In view of the distressing scarcity OF
competent girls to do homework, just
now prevailing in the western part OF
this city, the following incident is IN
order: A girl called at the residence OF
a gentleman on High street, to apply
for place in answer to an advertise
ment. The lady of the house asked for
her references.
II have lived five years at my last
place." said the girl " if you want to
know any more, ask Father Hawley."
The lady was favorably impressed
with a girl who had lived five years
without changing her place, but con-
cluded to call on Father Hawley.

place?''

All correct so far. But as the lady
turned to go, Father Hawley inquired:
"Do you know where her last place
was p
"No, she didn't mention that"

The story is good one, but while we
smile in reading it, we cannot help ASK
ing the question what woman, who is
compelled to show such a record of SER
vice, is to do, if all the doors of honest
employment are closed to her because

Agricultural Items.

PLANT sunfowers, if there is any
place about your house where water Is
thrown out and likely to become ma
larious. This plant has the power OF
absorbing malaria and purifying the
atmosphere.
THE farm of Gen. Bidwell, near Chico
California, contains $4,000 acres. This
year there are 1000 acres of wheat, $50
of barley, $50 of oats, 200 of meadow
There are also 200 horses, 1000 cattle,
5000 sheep and 1000 hogs.
SURFACE water that flows off the land,
instead of passing through the soil, car
ries with it whatever fertilizing matter
it may contain and abstracts some from
the earth. If it pass down through the
soil to drain this waste is arrested.
To cure halter pulling, a correspon-
dent of the Rural Nea0 Yorker recon-
mends: "After bridling the horse, at
tach rope to the right side of the bit,
draw it around under the tail and
through the ring Of the bit on the other
side, and tie to the trough. Once is
enough"
A CORRESPONDENT of the RatraL NeG
Yorker says that he raises cabbage plants
in the open ground, without the usual
foss from the ground flea, by surround
ing the bed with tight board fence, two
boards high. For two years, since try
ing this mode, he has been entirely sue
cessful.
AMARKET gardener of Lake county,
ILL.,, says that he has the most remark,
able success in the use Of salt upon his
tomato plants. He applies it at various
times during the season, and in every
case is marked in the increased growth
of both plant and fruit. In some cases,
he lays the roots of backward plants
bare, spinkles them with a tablespoon
full of ordinary barrel salt, and covers
with soil. Plants treated in this way
take an immediate start and develop
fine fruit

A WOMAN ON CHILDREN.--Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe recently delivered lee
ture in New York city, in which she
treated of Childhood at Maternity.
From her remarks on children we ex-
tract the following: [ must here pause
to ask and answer two very contradic
tory questions. What is the most pre-
cious thing that each generation has in
it's keeping? What is that which it
most neglects and undertakes To
both [ must make one answer-its chill
dren. l do not wish to rhapsodize on
the beauties of childhood, but [ must
allow myself little time in which to
speak of them. Artists know the value
Of the fresh outlines and undimmed
colors in the emporium of the beauti-
full. Hair in which the sunlight is
tangled as in net, fairly caught and
made to do duty. Eyes dreamy as
evening skies, and with sleepy star
flash in them, the delicate hues of
Spring, the odors of Summer, limbs
whose undistorted aptitudes invent new
graces, and, in movement or in sleep,
give the model to sculptors-a speech
which grows from the cooling of the
dove through poetic periods of myth
and allegory to the silver cadences of
adolescence-a heart with its little trea-
SON, its little selfish corners, but, also,
with what powers of mutation, of gen.
erostiy, of enthusiasm

The BURNING OF PARIs.-The mail
particulars of the capture and burning
of Paris far exceed the cable accounts,
both for ferocity and horrors. The
days of '9S were surpassed. Such
scenes were never before witnessed in
civilization. The most demoniacal rage
prevailed. Women and children were
paraded through the streets, beaten.
tortured, and butchered without mercy
or humanity. Mems brains were
knocked out with muskets. Poor
wretches were thrown into the flames
of burning houses. The women were
fiercest and cruelest of all. Those who
had shouted for the Commune turned
against them when the Versaillists en-
tered, and aided in the search for insur-
gents, often pointing out their hiding
places. The Versaillist soldiers showed
no pity. They reveled in carnage. All
Paris famed and bled, and the revolt
ing sights made the foreigners who wit
messed them heart-sick and disguised
with their kind The details Of the
horrible massacre are revolving to the
last degree. They indicate that the
French, when excited, are nation of
savages and barbarians.

Government works at Rock Island,

for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT-
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptions OF the sys-
tenn expelled, distractions removed, ana the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by AyeT'S rus, anu
stimulated into action. Thus inciplent disease
is changed into health, the value OF which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired fol, any length of time, SO
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, Diet or
occupation.

and for the following complaints, which these
PiLIs rapidly cure:-
ness, LamguOr and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom-
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Com plaint and Its various symp-
toms, Bilious Headache, Sick Head
ache, JaunGsiCe or Green Sickness, Eil-
iOus Collie and Bilious Eeyers, they should
be judciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or DiarrhOea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, GOut, Gravel, hsai-
DitatiOn of the Heart, Pain in the
Side, Back and LOins, they should be contm;
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For DrOpsy and DrOpsicaI Swellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression, a large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
AS Dinner Pill, take one or two PiUs to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite and invigorates the

no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably WELL often finds that dose of these
Pills makes him feet decidedly better, from their

MAN AS BAROMETER AND THERMoME-
TER.-Science has failed to invent any
apparatus as sensitive to atmospheric
changes as the human frame. 1t is
therefore Of vital Importance to guard
it against the effect of variations in the
weather, and experience has demonstra-
ted that DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs
is the best medicine for this purpose at
present known. If taken as protection
against the disturbing influence of sud-
den alterations of heat and cold, it
will certainly prevent the bowel COM
plant, fevers, bilious disorders, rheu-
matte affections, and throat diseases,
arising from these causes.

Song.

The sweetest songs are those
That few men ever hear,
And no men ever sing;
The clearest skies are those
That farthest off appear
To birds of strongest wing;
The dearest loves of those
That no man can come near
With his best following.

GREEN Color IN PICKLEs.-It is said
that to impart an excellent green color
to pickles they must be first covered
with boiling hot saltwater, and after a
short time the water poured off and the
pickles drained. They are then to be
placed in an earthen pot and covered
with boiling vinegar, the top put on,
and the whole kept at lukewarm tenn
perature for a long time, the vinegar
being poured off every day, heated to
boiling, and turned again upon the
pickles. This is to be continued until
the color is a beautiful green. The
vinegar used in this process is then to
be poured off and replaced by fresh,
and the jar closed tightly. This meth
cd of coloring is perfectly harmless, al
though the result is as bright green as
that of verdigris.

at all times of the day and night, is

water, at the temperature of the
spring, or we'll, or reservoir, or cistern.
Ice water is more palatable, but often
kills.
Any drink which contains alcohol,
even cider, root beer, or domestic cor
dials, all, are not only harmless, but
are positively injurious, because the
atom of alcohol, by using the strength
of the next minute for the present,
leaves the system that next minute
Just that much weaker than it would
have been had not that atom Of alcohol
been taken. This is the case because
that atom of alcohol has not one par
ticle of nutriment, hence cannot sup
ply the system with one atom of
strength.
If anything is added to the summer
drink, it should contain some nutri-
ment so as to strengthen the body as

poses of a more easy flow through the

ture of the shadiest spots in the locali-

The CH1NcH BUG.-A correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from
near Xenia, says:
awe have here in Ohio an insect
which is Familiarity known as the chinch
bug. This insect, in it's early stage of
existence, creeps or runs, and is from
the point of pin to the head of a pin
in size. After attaining the latter size
it is seen with wings. Then it becomes
an adult, and ceases to devour every
thing in its way las is it's habit up to
this period), and it goes to work produ-
cling millions more of these infnitesimal
insects. They destroy wheat and corn,
sometimes totally obliterating the crops
from the face of the earth. l never
knew wheat fields to be eaten entirely
bare, but | have known corn fl Ids
where these bugs have destroyed the
crop that looked as if there had been
nothing planted on it, after it was
planted in the spring. Two seasons
within the asst six years they have been
thus destructive. Some years we see
none at all. This year they are very
scarce"
