EDITORIAL OPINIoNs.-An advertise
ment is, as a general rule, an elaborate
eulogium on the merits of something
which the advertiser desires to sell. The
editors and publishers of the paper in
which it appears are not responsible
for its statements: Sometimes, however,
highly important discoveries or inven-
tions, announced to the world through the
business departments of the press, seem
to demand few words of editorial COM
mendation. We have no hesitation in
saying that the excellent medicine intro.
duced by DIR. Joseph Walker, of Califor-
MIA, under the name of VINEGAR BITTERs,
belongs to this category, and has a Just
claim to favorable notice. There can
be no doubt as to its utility as a tonic,
stomachic and Alternative. We are cog.
infant of many instances in which it has
cured cases of chronic dyspepsia, supposed
to be incurable, and know that the esti-
nation in which it is held as q remedy
for bilious and nervous disorders, inter-
mittent and remittent fevers, rheumatism
and general debility, is founded on expert
ence and we'll deserved. The testimony
of "a cloud of witnesses" goes to show
that it is eminently useful in large ma.
iority of the disorders to which the human
family are subject. The fact that it con-
tains no alcohol commends it to the conf
dence of that large and increasing class of
the community who insist that all spiritu-
Gus stimulants are active poisons.-- COns,

Will He Come Back,

There is some curious club talk in regard
TO the great explorer Livingston, says a
London letter. 1t is conjectured that
Stanley die not tell all he knows, or else
that Livingstone did not permit hlm to dis
cover all there was to be found out. A
story is revived that was current some
years since, but which, when it came to
light, was so vigorously pooh-poohcd. that
men tancied there was no foundation for
it. This story was TO the effect that the
reason why Livingston did not come home
was that he was happily married in Central
Africa, and could neither bring his dear
princess with him nor tear himself away
from her fascinating embraces. The story,
it will be remembered, was said to have
been brought down to Zanzibar by Arabs
trading with Uzizl. 1t will be remem-
bercd, moreover, that long before Kirk or
any one claimed 10 have tidings of Living
stone, either direct or indirect, the late
Sir Roderick Munchison was in the habit
of expressing himself as being assured of
the travellers visibility, and hooting at
the notion that there was any truth in
the report Of his having been murdered.
Gossip points to the well-known i'm
patience Of civilization manifested by
Livingstone on his former visit--his horror
of lionlzing, his disgust with book craft
and quotes his declaration that it was
easier to explore Africa than to tell about
it. There is talk of his naturally nomadic
disposition, and tie well-ascertained fact
that habits of life such as he had followed
for so many years, Joined to a rowing spirit,
become inyeterate and uncomfortable.
The quid nuncs shake their heads and tell
of Raiah Brooke, Hester Stanhope, Lady
Peterborough, and many other English
women and men who, crazed from "form-
sickness have broken bonds and fed to
sayagely for lite Livingstone, they say,
expects to come back "some of these days"
when the Ulysses spirit has quite worn out
OF him, but he has no definite intentions
to return at any particular time, and his
fixing two years as the period of time
necessary to complete his discoveries by
the exploration of $50 miles of river, was
mere subterluge to get rid Of Stanley. 1t
is further insinuated that this repatriation
of himself is an old plan; that he himself
made up the story Of his murder brought
back by his Makaloro attendants, and that
ne has always prevented DR.. Kirk from
getting news Of him, and declined to COM
municate with him until the pursuit grew
so strong he could no longer keep his ex-
iStence a secret. | send YOU this gossip
for what it is worth.

BoTToM OF THE SEA.-Explorations of
the most careful kind have established
the fact that hills, dales, ravines and
mountains characterize the bottoms of
oceans and seas. Five miles, perpendic-
ular depth, prove there must be some
excessively dark, gloomy places. But
even there life abounds. Strange forms
are brought up by sounding There
seems to be no waste places on the globe,
since animal and vegetable lives are
everywhere fitted precisely to those OBJ
scure localities where they are found.
On the highest peak of the Andes, the
Cordilleras, Mount Lebanon or the lofty
ranges Of India, marine shells abound.
They were elevated from profound
depths in primitive seas, on the mud and
debris of a vastly remote period, to their
present position. Marine shells, there
fore, on mountain tops, are chronologic-
al evidence Of the mighty revolutions
through which the earth has passed. The
remains of curious things in art, the
fabrication of human hands, many of
which will resist the corroding influence
OF time, may yet be lifted out of the deep
to be inspected miles above the level Of
future seas, as marine shells are inspect
ed by travellers, who in their invetigG-
tlons wonder how they came there.

ELEVEN persons were burned to death
and twelve Others were very seriously in

GLASGOW. The building was entirely de-
stroyed and no cause of the disaster can be
ascertained.
The Apaches from the Great Reserva-
ton, who made treaty with Gen. How
ard about a month ago, have left the
reservation with the avowed intention OF
going on the war path, and the troops
are in pursuit. Many depredations are
reported
A CUBAN privateer, heavily armed and
proyisioncd for a long cruise, was brought
into Newport by the United States rev.
enue cutter. The vessel was formerly the
revenue cutter Resolute, but was bought
and armed by Cubans, and is acting as a
decoy for Spanish men-of-war

THE New Jersey Court of Pardons has
announced its decision to commute the
death sentence of Libbie Garrabrant to
Imprisonment for life. The girls counsel
has telegTaphed the result of the delibera-
tioLs of the Court to Paterson, and the
news was given to the prisoner. She APP
peared to take little interestin the matter,
saying only that she should not like to
leave the Jail where she is now confined,
She will probably be taken to Trenton.

Bronson drew revolver, and IN quick
succession empted the six charges into

THE Sonora Democrat chronicles plan
for securing cherries from the ravages of
birds, which is as remarkable for its sim
plicity as its effectiveness A simple
contrivance, consisting of cow bell sus-
pended in the middle of cherry tree,
connected by arope long enough to reach
the COW shed and attached to cows
tail, will scare off the birds most eflectu-
ally. This trick is in successful opera
ton in Sonora, and can be seen at John
Bauman's place. He has not lost
cherry this year, and his trees are full of
fruit.

way for transportation of its coal. The
coal is reached by "slope," which
pcnetrates the "bank" for 100 feet, and
which is protected from "caving' by
wooden supports and roof, like the great
majority Of such mines. Between one
aud two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon,
while fourteen men and one mule were
at work in the mine, the entrance to the
slope was discovered to be on fire, but
from what cause we have no means OF
ascertaining. -Four of the alarmed men
in the mine rushed ont through the
slope, getting considerably burned in so
doing, but all of them will recover in
due course of time. The remainder OF
the men could not effect their escape,
and were of course smothered in the
slope. A telegram was sent to Ravenna
for assistance in distinguishing the
flames, and the entire fire department
of that place, accompanied by the Mayor,
promptly responded to the summons.
The President of the Company was on
the way to Cleveland from the mines
when the fire broke out, but was recalled
by telegram which reached him at
Ravenna, has been continuously at the
scene ever since, and has been doing
everything within the limits Of posi-
bility which duty and humanity demand

entire surrounding country, with SYM
pathies keenly alive to the requirements
of the occasion, focked to the scene by
scores and by hundreds, and also rem
dered timely and energetic assistance i'll
such directions as it was needed. AS
soon as the case would admit efforts
were resolutely made to reach the i'm
prisoned victims, but so much mischief
had been wrought by the flames, which
were not fully subdued until Thursday
afternoon, that the progress was neces-
sarily slow and discouraging, and it was
not until Thursday noon that the first
body was reached. BY Thursday night
six more were recovered, since which
time we are not aware that any more
have been found. CleUeiand Paper.

Up In n Balloon.

The Boston Traveller gives the follow
ing lively account OF n voyage through
upper air made by one of its reporters:
Tie danger of a journey through the
clouds in company with two lunatics
was experienced by the writer lust eve
ming at an hour past o'clock. In com
pany with friend he took passage in
the balloon "Uastle in the Air." under
the charge of Prof. Allen, OF Providence,
r. 1. The passenger list comprised the
Professor himself, the two parties above
alluded to and pair of thick-skulled,
drunken lrishmen with bottle OF whls-
key. The fact that these men were drunk
and the presence Of their bottle OF liq-
uor, however, was not known until after
the ascension had commenced.
At first one of the men, n burly fellow
of 1870 pounds weight, refused to obey
the orders of the aeronaut, insisting up
on sitting at one end of the basket,
where his weight caused the load to ca
reen in very dangerous manner. Not
satisfied with this, he opened the bottle
of liquor and drained its contents at q
draught, throwing the vessel at the
crowd one thousand feet below. He
next attempted to dance a jig, and tried
to gain possession of the cord attached
to the safety valve, but was finally in
duced to sit still for moment. The
wind was blowing strongly at that time,
and it was at the best difficult task to
preserve the proper equilibrium. Prof.
Allen, therefore, decided to descend and
made the usual signal to the engineer.
The lunatic, for such it would be char
table to call him, countermanded the
orders of the Professor to the crowd be-
low, and did all he could not only to en-
danger his own worthless life, but to I'M
peril the safety of all the. passengers in
the basket.
A thrill of horror ran through the
spectators as they began to realize the
horrors of the situation. The basket
swayed hither and thither at the mercy OF
q drunken idiot, and it was apparent to
all that sudden death was imminent to
the unfortunate balloonists. Prof. Allen
himself fully realized the dangers OF the
position in which we were placed, and
it was difficult for him to preserve the
necessary GOODNESS with which to super
intend the working of the balloon. FL
nally, he managed to convey his orders
to the attendants below, and the balloon
was slowly drawn down through calm
er region of air to the ground. The oc-
cupants disembarked unframed, and
we're showered with greetings by the
eager crowd, who had, many times,
given up all hopes Of ever seeing them
alive.

LYNCH LAW IN OHIO. - A dispatch
from Salina, Ohio, states that some three
hundred persons assembled last night
and took from the jail three of the tour
men who were arrested last week for
numbering Mary Secor, girl aged four
teen, and hung them to tree near the
Jail. The men who were hung were Alb
salon Kimble, Jacob Kimble and Alex
ander McCloud. The fourth one, also
named Kimble, was not interfered with,
as it was through his confession that the
others we're arrested, and an examine
ton proved that he had not been directly
concerned in the outrage and murder.
The mob surrounded the Jail, and after
securing the guard and iailor took the
three men and proceeded with them to
the spot where the girls body was found
and hung them to the tree under which
the terrible crime was committed

A MINISTER DRAGGED FROM BED

A MINISTER DRAGGED FROM BED. -
A report reaches us of the severe tlog.
ging of the Rev, Thomas Callahan, near
Centerville, Reynolds County, No., by q
band of disguised men. Callahan says
that while he was watching his sick wife,
men with blackened faces entered his
house, and dragged his wife from bed,
plundered the house and bound and
took him half a mile away, and after at
tempting to make him tell who set fire to
the courthouse, which had been twice
burned, gave him seventy five lashes on
the bare back with switches, and then
ordered him to leave the country on pen
atty of death. lie says there is corrupt
court house ring in Reynolds Cou nty,
against whom he was strongly opposed,
and who were interested in the destruc-
ton of the county records to cover up
their frauds in titles. United States
Commissioner Eaton has issued warrants
for the perpetrators, and United States
Marshal Newcomb has sent deputies to
Reynolds County to arrest and bring
them to st. Louis.

Destroyed by an Earthquake.

A correspondent of the Hong Kong
Press writes as follows: "With refer

NADIA, the capital of Sekishu, situated
on the west coast of Japan, in 45o north
latitude and 1899 east longitude, being

was the most severe, the people had
barely time to get clear from their houses
before they saw them tumble to pieces.

to crawl away on their hands and kness
as best they could, in search of some

that the complete network formed

A NoNoGENARIAN' RULES OF LIVING.
"A letter written by the venerable
Father Cleveland, who recently died in
Boston at the age of nearly century,
appears in the Herald Of Health for July.
Mr.. Cleveland describes his mode of life
thus:
l. My time OF retirement is at an early
hour, not beyond ten o'clock, and of
rising as soon as awake, and before the
sun throughout the year.
Q. At meals my food is simple and
nourishing, avoiding whatever may be
regarded as luxuries.
3. My drink at the table Is Golden
Ale.'
4. / taste no spirituous liquors.
5. Tobacco abhor in all its forms as
1 would poison, persuaded its use bath
been as an harbinger to strong drink, "
which has slain its thousands and tens
of thousands
Thus, dear philanthropist, have CIV
en- you my "habits of living" and would
just add that, preserving conscience
void of offence toward God and man, my
sleep in its season Is undisturbed and
refreshing.
