The Price OF Healfh.

Like that of liberty, is eternal vigilance. The
vapor-laden air of spring exercises dcpres sin
influence on the vital powers. The strongest feel
this devitalizng effect; the weak are Frustrated
By it. Everybody is more or less debilitated ut
this season, and the feeble instinctvely seek the
help of medicine. Unfortunately, the "remedy"
resorted to sometimes agra ates the mischief.
Raw stmulants are eminently perncious in such
cases and drastic cathartcs about as bad. The vi.
tai principle needs succor and support, and rein
forcing preparation that will tone and rouse while
regulates and pures the system, is the medicine
that nature demands. All the medicinal elements
required for such emergencies are combined in
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, the purest and most
efcacious vegetable elixir that the world has ever
known. IT is mild Gtinlulant, a powerful tonic

ate cathartic, q remedy for liver complaints and
periodic fevers, cure for constipation a specific

which the feeber sex are subject, and as a general
household medicine is unequalled and unapproach.

Hostetter's Bitters famous everywhere. See to it,
however, that you have the true article, tor the
land Is infested with swarms of local bitters made
from condemned liquors and worthless drugs,
which greedy wretches who speculate on human
life recommend as panaceas for every ill that flesh

The NAVY,

The Navy Department will soon offer
for sale, IN accordance with the act of
last session, a large number of IN
servlceable vessels for which there can
be no further use, and which are not
worth the cost of maintenance. The
Board of Inspection have designated
among the vessels to be thus disposed

Shawnee, Tensgua, Wagsuc, Yazoo. and
Yoma, all of which are now laid up at
the various navy yards, and also on the
list for sale, and will be disposed of as
rapidly as convenient. All of these
iron-clads are past further use for
any purpose, and valuable only
for the iron and material which
they contain. From ten to twenty
thousand dollars each is all they are
expected to realize. The Department
will also discharge large proportion
of its workmen in the navy yards and
reduce its expenses for the remainder
of the year. From one-third to one
fourth of the force in the Charlestown
yard will probably be relieved at an
early date. It is understood that the
Department will ask next year for SO,

CAT, Show.

The cat show at the Crystal Palace in
London is generally spoken of III the news
papers Of that city. Each cat is enclosed
IN neat wire-work cage, with plenty of
room for the biggest of them. In each
cage is cushion for the inmate to repose
upon. They are well supplied with both
meat and milk. The number exhibited,
including kittens, is nearly four hundred.
They are divided into four great classes,
with prizes ranging from two guineas to
live shillings, including short-haired, long
haired, and cats belonging exclusively to
to wOrkiugmen. These are again divided
into forty eight classes, beginning with
short-haired tortoise-shell he-cat, and 20
ing through all the varieties of brown
tabbies, black and whites, pure white
and unusual colors. Among the interest
ing animals in the show is an Ocelot, or
young tiger cat. There is tortoise shell
he-cat valued by his owner at ESQ. A
tortoise-shell he-cat is something entirely
new--cats OF that marking heing almost
invariably "shes." No. 95 is valued by
his owners, two maiden ladies, at $500

The Jonathan Apple.

The first tree that we ever planted of

ance of the young trees.
The Jonathan, when full grown and
carefully prepared for ma rket, will bring
more than double price in those cities
where quality and fine appearance are
fully appreciated. 1t is therefore worthy
of more extended culture. 1t grows and
succeeds best when worked standard

age. We have seen very fine trees on the

THE DEVIL FISH.
Capture fUne at Bomavista-A Curios-
ity of Natural History.


lily of Natural History.
Abiding to the report that in Bona
vista harbor a gigantic cuttle-fsh was
captured, measuring thirty feet from
the tip of the horns to the extremity of
the tail, and having q bill, the top of
which resembles that of the largest
eagle, and the under part that of par
rot, correspondent of the ST, John
IN. s. Telegraph says:
Ii the captor of this thirty-feet
cutie could have procured enough rum
to preserve it (no easy job certainly, it
would have been a fortune to him
Barnum and Agassiz would bid against
each other furiously for possession of
the creature, and the managers of the
British Museum would have sent out
an agent to compete. Perhaps the
highest bidder of all, provided he is in
pocket just now, would have been Vic
tor Hugo; as he could confront the
world with this, and prove that his
celebrated devil fish, in the 'Toilers of
the Sea- is no fanciftll creature, and
that fact IS stronger than fiction.
That some specimens of the cuttle-fish
have attained enormous dimensions is
we'll established. In oriental tales,
they are represented as throwing their
arms over ships hull, and dragging
her Under water; and some of the older
naturalists accepted these stories as
true. There are, however, we'll
authenticated instances of divers in the
Indian seas having been caught in the
long, 1.-the arms of this fish, with their
cold adhesive powers, and held by the
monster in its clammy embrace till life
was extinct. Nothing can be more hOr-
rible and repulsive than one of the large
cuttle-fish, with its fabby, corpse like
freshness, it's livid hue that comes and
goes so strangely, its uncouth agility
and its ghastelY green eyes that are
enough to paralyze its victim. Its head
protrudes from muscular sac, and is
distinct from the body. The mouth is
armed with pair of horney mandibies,
resembling the bill of parrot. Sur
rounding the mouth are the tentacular
appendages or arms, which serve at once
for instruments of locomotion and or
gans for Selling and holding of prey.
They are eight in number each being
supplied with double row of sucking
disks, which act on the principle of a
cupplng glass, and beng applied to
any surface, adhere to it, at the will
Of the animal, with such force that it is
easier to tear away the substance of the
limb than release it from it's attachment.
Each of its eight arms carries one hun
bred and twenty pair of sucking disks.
Fhnging out pair of these tentacula,
the cutie seizes its victim which, in it's
struggles, comes in contact with more
and more of the fatal disks in success
sion, till it is powerless in the grip of
its enemy, whose sharp, horny beak
soon tears it to peces, ] am inclined to
think that the correspondent has been
accurate in his measurements, or has
accepted second hand statements. This
much, however, is certain-that q
gigantic cutie has been captured, of
dimensions sufficiently large enough to
satisfy the most devoted lover of the
marvellous"

The Old MANS Funeral.

I saw an aged man upon his bier,
His hair was thin and white, and on his brow
A record of the cares of many year
Cares that were ended and forgotten now.
And there was sadness round, and faces bowed,
And women's tears fell fast, and children walled
aloud.
Then rosa another hoary man and said,
In faItering accents to that weeping train.
Why mourn We that our aged friend is dead {?
Ye are not sad TO see the gathered grain,
Nor when the mellow fruit the orchard casts.
Nor when the yellow woods shake down the
ripened mast.
Ye sigh not when the sun, his course fulfilled,
His glorious course rejoicing earth and sky,
In the soft evenings when the winds are stilled,
Sinks where his islands of refreshment lie,
And leaves the smile of his departure spread
Ger the warm-colored heaven and rudy
mOuntain-head.
Why weep We, then, for him, who, having won
The bounds of mans appointed years at last,
Lies blessings all enjoyed, ife's labors done,
Serenely to his final rest has passed;
While the soft memory OF his virtues yet
fingers like twilight hHes when the bright sun
is set?
His youth was innocent, his ripper age
Marked with some act of goodness every day
And watched by eyes that loved him, calm ant
sage
Faded his declining years away.
Cheerful he gave his being up and went
To share the holy rest that waits life vel
spent.
That life was happy every day he gave
Thanks for the fair existence that was his
For sick fancy made him not her slave,
To mock him with her phantom miseries.
No chronic fortunes racked his aged limb,
For luxury and sloth had nurCured none fol
him.
And I'm glad that he has lived thus long,
And glad that he has gone to his reward;
Nor deem that kindly nature did him wrong
Softly to disengage his vital cord.
When his weak hand grew palsed, and his eye
Dark with the nlists Of age, it was his time to

Domestic Recipes.

CHLORIDE OF LIME.-It is said that "a
dish Or pan Of chloride of lime, set in the
cellar, will not only assist in removing or
destroying impure odors, but that it will
also drive away vermin." Try it.
How TO KEEP MEAT.-Meat is much
better for family use when at least one
week old in cold weather. The English
method for keeping meat for some time
has great merit. Experts say, hang up a
quarter of meat with the cut end up, being
the reverse of the usual way, by the leg,
and the juice will remain in the meat, and
not run to the cut and dry up by evapor-
alton. 1t is worth a trial, and when made
will be continued.
A GoOD WAY TO Cook ONIoNs.-It is a
good plan to boil onions in milk and water
it dlminishes the strong taste of that vege-
table. 1t IS an excellent way of serving
up onions to chop them after they are
boiled, and put them in a stew-pan with a
little milk, butter, salt, and pepper and let
them stand about fifteen minutes. This
gives them fine flavor, and they can be
served up very hoC.-R~raL Home.
CUMMING LABELs-Dextrine is the best
substance for this purpose. 1t may be
purchased of almost any wholesale manu-
featuring chemist. 1t is mixed and stirred
with boiling water until it obtains the con-
sistency of ordinary mucilage, then ap-
piled to the back of the printed matter
with wide camePs-hair brush (care being
taken to use, being rendered exceedingly
adhesive by slight wetting.
FRENCH LOAF CAKE.-One pound of
flour, one pound Of sugar,one pound of
raisins, a half pound of butter, one cup
new milk, five eggs and spice to taste.
WARM CAKE.-One cup of sugar, one
cup of butter one of soar milk, teaspoon
tul OF saleratus, two eggs.

A TRACED Y in Arkansas.

The Arkansas City Traveller relates
the circumstances of a fatal shooting
affray at Caldwell. Two men from Vir
ginia and Ohio, employed as herders
got into a quarrel, grabbed each other
by the left hand, = drew pistols, and
commenced shooting one another-the
Virginian shooting the Ohio man six
times, while the Ohio man shot but
twice. The Ohio man, who had been
shot through the he 1rt, knowing his
time had come, clinched the Virginian,
drew a knife, and cut him in the neck,
completely severing the jugular vein.
Both fell dead on the spot A box was
made, both men put into it, and buried
together.
