THE SUCCESSFUL PHysICIAN.-Dr. J. Walker is achieving an eminent distinction as a benefactor of his species. Some stigmatize all patent medicines with the odious epithet of quackery. But DR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs have the endorsement of the medical pro- fession. The editcr can conscientiously and cordially recommend the medicine, be- cause he knows he has found great benefit from it's use. For nearly twenty years he has suffered from Arrangement of the stom- ach. And though the disease has become chronic, he has already obtained great re- lief from this remedy. A physician left at death large volume, carefully sealed, and supposed to contain fund of medical knowledge. On being opened, it was found to contain only this simple advice {: "Keep your head cool, your feet warm and your bowels open." But there is a whole volume in this maxim. VINEGAR BITTERs act as mild cathartic, leaving the system in healthy condition. R. H. Mcdonald, an experienced druggist, associated with Dr. Walker, is man of thorough integrity and practical knowledge of the art of com pounding medicine. They have valuable medicine, and they know how to bring it to the knowledge of the public byjudicious advertising. We are happy to give them our hearty endorsement and bid them God-specd in relieving the ills to which flesh is heir.- -Lock,oood UIeio'aist.

The Clean of q supposed Pistol.

The scene of this item is laid in San Francisco, on Washington street, near Leavenworth. The hour was late-past midnight. Agentleman was vending his way homeward, thoughtfully calculating how much was left of the money he col lected during the day. "Fifty cents for cigars ; theater and extras Greats counted in), four dollars new hat, ten dollars fourteen dollars and fifty cents-yes, if ty cents for those extra car tickets. That just makes fifteen dollars. Eighty dollars collected--yes, here's two twenties and a five in this pocket-here's a roll of hali dollars in the other-that's just right sixty five dollars. I'll just give-''
 "Sixty-fve dollars We'll, hand over the cash, sir, and don't be long about it l"
 The capitalist was startled from his reverie by these words, uttered in sort of growing and determined manner by the midnight stranger. It was like the r nightmare. He trembled from head tc foot-stood stock still and looked witt terror at the robber.
 "Come, now, hurry up! Fork oyer the cash No fooling! Now you can' leave here, sir, until you pass in the checks
 This second appeal to his pocket and and his life awoke the victim to Q con sciousness of his dreadful situation.
 Ah-h, femme go I-you-what dc you want ?" he murmured, while trying to pass on One hand was clutching tho dear twenties and the five /; the other was fast to the roll of silver.
 "Come, now out with your pockets Come down with the cash l" It was evidently @ case of life and death. Cash would appease the villain A lucky thought
 "Yes, that's it. I'll give him the rol of silver, and he won't think I've got any more."
 Then to the robber with excited tones | ''Here's what you want-take that" The right arm was suddenly drawn from the pocket, and the roll of silver was extend ed toward the robber, while the unfortu nate man shrunk into an attitude of holy terror and hope only.
 The roll was pointed at the robbers breast-the poor fellow who was yielding his earning looked desperate in the din light One look, and that was enough
 "Oh! Don't shoot Don't shoot I don't want your money" The brave road agent was skedaddIing down the street and was soon around the corner before the gentleman could realize the altered position that affairs had taken With Che muzzle of that ominous roll o silver extended before, he safely reached his home, and has since concluded tha his presence of mind was wonderful, anc that it was bright idea to frighten of his assailant by good strategy.

4 Chapter on Lawyers.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, thus discourses on lawyers as he finds them: s'The law yers are picked lot, first scholars, and the like, but their business is as unsym- pathetic as Jack Ketch's. There is noth- ing humanizing in their relations with their fellow creatures. They go for the side that retains them. They defend the man they know to be rogue, and pot very rarely throw suspicion on the man they know to be innocent. Mind you, I am not finding fault with them every side of a case has a right to the best statement it admits of; but I say it does not tend to make them sympathetic. Suppose in case of Fever vs. Patient, the doctor should side with either party according to whether the old miser oI his expectant heir was his employer. Suppose the minister should side with the Lord or the Devil, according to the salary offered and other incidental ad. vantages, where the soul of a sinner was in question. You can see what piece of work it would make of their sympath- ies. But the lawyers are quicker witted than either one of the other professions, and abler men generally. They are good -natu1ed, or, if they quarrel, theil quarrels are above-board. don't think they are accomplished as the ministers, but they have way of examining with special knowledge for case which leaves a certain shallow sediment of intelligence in their memories about great many things. They are apt to talk low ir mixed company, and they have way o1 looking round when they make point as if they were addressing jury, that ii mighty aggravatine, as I had occasion to see when one of lem, and pretty ia nous one, put me on witness stand a a dinner party once"

 SECRET OF HAPPINESS. ss.-An Italian bishop, who had struggled through many difficulties without repining, and had been much opposed without manifesting impatience, being asked by friend to communicate the secret of his being all ways happy, replied, ts,It consists in Q single thing, and that is, making right use of my eyes. His friend, in surprise, begged him to explain his meaning. "Most willingly" replied the bishop. ''In whatsoever state I am, first of all look up to heaven, and remember that my great business is to get there I look down upon the earth, and call to mind how small space shall soon find in it. I then look abroad in the world, and I see what multitudes are in all respects, less happy than myself, and then learn where all my cares must end, and how little reason ever had to murmur or to be otherwise than thankful. And to live in this spirit is to be always happy"

NEARLY LOST TIA curious story is told about $1, ,000 bond belonging to a lady boarding in 8 house in Twenty third street New York. The lady put the bond for safe keeping under her trunk, and the chambermaid in sweep ing the room removed the trunk and swept away the treasure. Shortly after wards the lady missed the bond, and up on asking the chambermaid if she had noticed the paper during her sweeping was answered in the affirmative, adding that she had emptied the sweepings into an ash-barrel on the sidewalk. The lady ran to the barrel and there found her bond lying half way out of the enve- lope on the top of the ashes, where it had been lying unobserved over an hour.

FIVE PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH. New Scotland, Albany Co.,. NY, two- story building, occupied by MT. Volmer, his wife, and five children, Volmer' s mother, and his wife's stepfather, took fire. Volmer, his wife, and one child were on the first floor, and escaped. All the others perished in the flames. A few days since the old gentleman, Mrs. Volmer's stepfsther, went to Albany and drew out of 8 savings bank some $500 or $400 which he had kept on deposit, in- tending, it is said, to go to Wisconsin at an early day. When the fire reached the second story the old gentleman, in his anxiety to save his money, kept back the others in the room with him, and would not permit them to open the window and jump to the ground.

Keep the Hair Unblemished.--'1ar am like an old hemlock-withered at the top," said venerable Indian Chief, pointing to his thin and bleaching locks Thousands of men and women in civilized society, much younger than the old Sagamore are like him. withered at the top,' simply because they have neglected to use the means of preserving and beautifylng the hair which science had placed at their disposal If LYoN's KATHA1RoN be faithfully applied once twice day, to the ibers and the scalp, it is just impossible that the hair should decay, wither fall out or become harsh and fuzzy, that meadow, duly refreshed with nightly dews and sunlt rains should become arid and barren of green blades. This matchless preparation not only keeps the hair alive and the skin of the head in healthy and clean condition, but actually multpes tho fila ments and imparts to them Nstre, fexibillty and wavy beauty unattainable by any other mode of treatment.

To Co11EGE.-To young men going to college or desiring to go there, the question of expense is sometimes an inn portant one. The last number of the College Com-ant has an article on this sub- iect, in which it gives figures showing what students at Yale have actually paid for their tuition and substance. In the class of 1871 there were those who lived at $25O year and others who spent $2,5000. It depends mainly on the stu dents themselves, of course. It is easy for young men to spend large amount of money if they have it at command and, on the other hand, an indigent and ambitious youth can approximate to the scale of expenses of an ancient philoso- pher to surprising degree if he tries.

The Cincinnati Candidates.
HORACE GREELEY.

Horace Greeley, nominated at Cincin- nati for the Presidency, was born on the Sd of February, 1911, in Amherst, N. H Greeley's youth seemed to have been passed amidst considerable though not unusual hardships. At ten years of age his parents removed to Vermont. After assisting his father in the farming opc- rations for three or four years he was apprenticed to printer in East Pulteney in that State. After working in Erie, Pa., for few months as a journeyman printer, he went to New York City, and entered upon journalism as profession. As a whig he entered into politics and published number of campaign papers, all of which failed. In 1886 he married Miss Cheney of North Carolina.
 In 1841 the New York Tribune was started by Horace Greeley and itis with that paper, now in existence, with which his name is considerably known. In 184s Greeley was elected to the House of Representatives to fill an unexpired term. In 1850 he published "Hints Towards Reforms" partly lectures and partly essays. In 1851 he visited Europe, and was chosen chairman of one of the juries at the Worlds Fair. In 1944 he strongly supported Clay for the Presi- dency in 1852 Scott, and ill 1856 Ere mont. In 1860 he supported. Lincoln, and published his notable letter dissolving the firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley. In 1867 Greeley became part bail for Jef- ferson Davis, of Mississippi, arraigned before the United States Circuit Court for leyying war against the United States. Greeley opposed Johnson's admins tration throughout. He supported, on the impeachment project, and sustained Secretary Stanton in his refusal to resign his portfolio at the request of the Presi- dent. In 1868 Greeley and the Tribune supported General Grant for the Presi- dency. He is protectionist. Greeley is in his 62d year, and has been promi- nent in the politics of the country for more than thirty years.

A Strange Discovery in Florida

During the heavy gales which prevailed last fall, the tide, on one occasion, was driven so low in the North River, that a remarkable discovery was made. About seven miles north of St. Augustine, on the west shore of North River, the re- mains of an ancient city were discovered. Several wells, walled in with coquina are now visible, under water but the foundations of the houses can be felt with pole.
 On the occasion of the discovery, @ gale had prevailed for four or five days from the north--driving the water out of the river to an extent never before known. Further Investigations have also brought to light coquina quarry on this same site and what is more remarkable, the quarry is in the midst of dense ham, mock-and which any one can sec now by taking the trouble to go there. The rock is of quality equal to any on Anas- tasia Island, and the quarry has been extensively used, doubtless for the pur. pose of building the city or settlement of St. Augustine-for one or the other 1t certainly was.
 The question which naturally arises is, by whom was this settlement made-by natives of this continent or Europeans All histofiographers agree that Ponce de Leon, 8 companion of Columbus, in his second voyage, first touched on this New World at point three miles north of St. Augustine. Say they, one and all, Che found the natives fierce and implacable. , But at this period-1512-al history is silent, and we hear nothing more of Flori- da or America until 1526, when Narvaez arrived on the western or gulf coast Who will solve this mystery Perhaps it may throw light on the history oi America, hitherto concealed. For let il be remembered that St. Augustine was the first city settled in America.

CAPT. HALLS POLAR ExPED1T1oN.-l is reported in Newfoundland that the steamship Polaris, which conveyed Cap tain Halls Polar expedition, put back to Greenland last month. No particulars of the occurrence had reached St. Johns up to the date of the transmission of a dispatch to firm in this city. The news was procured from French trader, who says that vessel which sailed from Greenland and put into the harbor of St. Pierre announced that Capt. Hall had arrived in Greenland on board of the United States steamer Polaris. As the trader understood the news, he believed the Polaris was not homeward bound, but had only returned through stress of weather or want of coal or provisions. All on board are reported well.

A NERVOUS SEKsoN.-Phy sicians say that nervous complaints have never been more frequent then they are at the pres ent time. Men are suffering from nervous exhaustion, women from mysteries and extreme depression of spirits. The cause is not difficult to be ascertained. During the cold, dry weather of February and March, the atmosphere was surcharged with electricity to an unusual and re- markable degree. The human system was thus stimulated to an unusual extent, and the warm, damp days of April, in which the atmosphere was almost devoid of electricity, following immediately af- CT the dry and cold days of the proceed ing two months, produced feeling of nervous exhaustion such as the hard thinker feels when he breaks his evil habit for few days. This explanation, which is that given by one of the leading physicians of the country, is certainly founded on fact, and seems extremely probable.

THE RED SEA.-An sorts of tales are told of the Red Sea navigation, says James Brooks, some of which are true, among them, one-that at times it is so hot here, passengers on board the ships drop down dead from heat, apoplexy, or exhaustion. Now and then so hot, that steamers running down the sea with the wind are obliged to change their course, and go backwards, to catch some puffs of air, both to preserve the lives of their firemen and passengers. The hot air of the deserts-the simeon, it may be--actually melts people, when shut up in this Red Sea furnace.

TEA GROWING IN GEoRa1A.-An East Indian tea expert has been successfully experimenting in Georgia. He plucked from one tea-plant 12 oz. of green leaf, which next day he made into 3 OF. of tea. This yield he says is far ahead of that usual in India, where ZOO pounds is fair seasons yield from an acre. At the rate of yield in Georgia, he would procure 45S pounds at a single picking, and supposing he could get ten pickings -one every twenty days-the crop would amount to 4,580 pounds. The quality also it is said is equal to the very best.
