The Mississippi Valley.

There is something really grand in the
march of civilization over our Western
prairies says New York paper. During
the fiscal year 1871 over ten million seven
hundred thousand acres passed from
the dominion OF the government into
private hands. This would make nearly
seventy thousand farm houses of one
hundred nd sixty acres each. equivalent
to three states ear OF Il Q size of Mas
sachussetts, and with agriculture capaci-
ties that the Bay State never knew. In
Kansas and Nebraska alone over fifteen
thousand entries were made within the
year under the homestead law. These
entries represent population of fifty
thousand added to these two States on
lands freely presented them by govern
ment, besides large number who ac-
CURED their homes by purchase. Each
year witnesses an increasing number on
our extreme frontier direct from Eu-
rope. Perhaps one-half of our Western
gain comes from foreign immigrants; and
now we hear that forty thousand Rus
slams are coming at one time and prob
ably to one place. Our national advance
on our Western frontier, on line drawn
from the British dominions to Mexico,
is not far from sixteen miles year.
Where railroads or river bottoms sum
mon the advancing population, this line
juts forward and makes q salient angle;
while mountain and marsh are apt to de-
lay the movement of the squatter, and
thus tend to retard civilization. But
slowly and steadily the advancing column
moves on, and the child is now living
who is to see the whole of the magnif-
cent territory between the Mississippi
and the Pacific converted into happy
homes.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common that
it Is almost impossible for an editor to ex-
press his honest opinion of the merits OF
an article without being suspected OF
interested motives. This fact, however,
shall not deter us from saying what we
think of new addition to the Materia
Medica to which our attention has been
recently directed. We refer to Dr. j.
WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BirTRRs,
remedy which is mailing its way into
more families just now than all the other
advertised medicines put together It's
popularity, as far as we can Judge, is not
based on empty pretention. There seems
to be no question about the potency of
its tonic and alternative properties, while
it contains the great negative recommen-
dation of containing neither alcohol nsr
mineral poison. Thrt it is q specific for
Indigestion, Biliousness. Consumption,
and many other complaints OF nervous
origin, we have reason to know; and we
are assured on good authority that as
general invigorant, regulating and puri-
fying medicine, it has no eqnal. II is
stated that its ingredients obtained from
the wilds of California;, are new to the
medical world and its extraordinary
effects certainly warrant the conclusion
that it is a compound of agents hitherto
unknown. Ifpopularity is any criterion,
there can be no doubt of the efficiency OF
the VINEGAR BITTERs, for the sale of the

Searched for Struggled Goods.

II Is fact probably better known to
the Custom house officials than to out
siders that at least every tenth woman
who crosses the Detroit river carries
struggled goods A Lowell paper says the
goods may DO tea, coffee, socks thread,
ribbons, or something else of great value,
but the intent to smuggle is there, and
the success In bringing over q small lot Is
nearly always an inducement for the
smuggler to try the game on larger
scale. Men may and do smuggle clothing
now and then, but 1t is the female sex
which carries the burden Of guilt. The
Custom house officials at the ferry dock
in this city arc a. viglant as officers can

Only one grand and certain haul Of their
nets can trap the guilty and Brighten the

The officers commenced about 2 o'clock,
+. M, walking fifteen or twenty women
upstairs into the custom rooms, and
handing them over to woman to be
searched. Every boat load which landed,
for about three hours, was treated in tho
same manner - that is, all the female
portion. Some were indignant, and
appealed to their husbands, who vainly
appealed to the Custom officers. Others
wanted to faint away, but, after looking
at the p'anks and the dust, concluded not
to. Others wept, laughed or turned pale,
but mono of them were permitted to es
cape. During the afternoon about one
hundred and fifty women were confront.
ed by Uncle Sam, and some wonderful
discoveries were made. For instance, q
modest little woman, was in great hurry
to so home to her sick child, pulled out
few pins, and ten yards of English flannel
ell to the floor. A tall woman, with
ears in her eyes, who asserted that she
would sooner chop her head off than to
link of smuggling, unfastened q pound
IF tea from her skeleton and asserted that
t must have been placed there by some
designing person. Another one indig-
lantly denied "the right of search" but

The Earth Eaters.

Only the very lowest of races eat
earth. Humboldt tells of the unfortunate
Otomaks and Jarures, on the banks OF
the Orinoco, among whom some poor
nonadic tribes live upon ants, gum, and
earth. IT is mild, fatty clay, probably
tull of infusoria, aud answering the
double purpose of serving as kind OF
ballast that weighs on the great nerve OF
the stomach, ard of supplying small
amount of actual food out of the large
mass of organic matter with which the
rind of the earth is every where filed

to cannibal nations. The Tunguses, near

Ocean, the same earth is put upon leaves,
and thus swallowed. In Samarang, in
Java, well known earth, called tana, is
sold in the market, in skillfllly-curle

through the Tropics, in fact, and in hot
countries, there seems to prevail fond

street car companies, who were expected
to DO the first TO suspend operations,
have hitherto been able to stem tho tide,
only one limo OF stages--.the twenty.third
street--having stopped running. The
pressure has fallen mainly upon mer-
chants and business men who have goods

use their horses. This, US u matter Of

NRw READINGS OF THE MARRIAGE

Marriage Service by that class of persons

was quite the fashion for the man, when
giving the ring, to say to the woman,

all my hurdle goods l thee and thou
He said the women we're generally better
up in this part of the Service than the

him by promising, in what she supposed
to be the language of the Prayer Book, to
take her hurband 8" to ave and to 'old

Poisoning From Green Wallpaper.

A physician in western Massachusetts,
recently had lady patient who, fol-
several weeks, had been suffering from
nausea, general prostration, and other
symptoms of slow poisoning Failing
to discover the cause of the symptoms,
as last resort the doctor requested her
to move from her chamber, the walls OF
which were green, so light, indeed, that
in the evening it could scarcely be dis.
tipguished from white. After leaving
the room the symptoms Immediately dis.
appeared, and the patient rapidly recov.
cred. A sample of the paper was for
warded for analysis to the State chemist
at Hartford, and was found to contain a
large quantity Of arsenic. Mr.. Hall
obtained the poison in the various forms
of metallic arsenic, yellow tersulphite,
silver arsenite and arsenious acid of
common white arsenic He estimates
that every square foot of this innocent
looking paper contained an amount of
the poison equivalent to five grains of
arsenious acid, or double the fatal dose
for an adult person. This in the moist
warm weather of July and August, was
amply sufficient to keep the air of room
impregnated with the poison,
and any person occupying such room
would be as certainly poisoned as though
the arsenic had been taken into the
