THE NEW WORLDS GRAND REMEDY.
The Old World seems to have played
it's part in vegetable medication. But
the botany of the New World is, as yet,
imperfectly explored. One new and most
important revelation from that land of
wonders-California-has recently burst
upon the world, astonishing the scien-
tifc, and accomplishing such cures of
diseases of the stomach and bowels, bill
ious complaints, malarious fevers, ner-
vous affections, and all diseases proceed
ing from a vitiated condition of the
blood, as have never before been witnessed
in either hemisphere.
Before WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTERs all the herbalized poisons
are rapidly going Gown. They cannot
resist the overpowering evidence brought
forward every day of the immense supe-
riority of this medicine, without draw
back. Not drop of any variety of dis
titled or fermented liquor enters into
It's composition. 1t is gentle aperient,
a tonic, derived from entirely new vege-
table sources, an unrivaled stomachic,
admirable in all pulmonary diseases /;
and, in fact, coming as near to a univer-
sal remedy as botanical discovery and
scientific skill can hope to attain. DR..
Walker considers it cure for all diseases
not organic, and really the great variety
of diseases in which it is successful seems
to warrant the opinion.-Tm.

ScasonabIe SuSgestions.

Til. heavy mists and cold night dews which ch.rac-

they produce crop OF intermittent fcyerS
of various types and degrees of intensity At this very
time there are probably half million of people in the
United States suffering from periodical fevcrs BY mias-
matte fogs and exhalations. What makes the preva-
cnce OF this evil the more deporable Is the fact that
it might in all cases be easily prevented Malaria and
damp produce little or effect upon the system pre-
fortified by course Of IIostetters Stomach Bitter.
Every fall and spring hundreds Of letters are received
from persons residing in fever and asue districts, who
state that while their ncghborS incapactated from

or specific for intermittent and remitteIt eyers the
Bitters may be Justly accounted iniabe. They erad-
cate the complaints in their most obstinate FORMS but
the wiser course is to forestal attack by taking the
preparation as a preventive. The amount Of produc-
tive labor withdrawn from active service during several
months in the year by maarous maladies Is immense
and the pecuniary losses to individuals families aud
the nation from this cause is incalculable. Bear in
mind that by toning and regulating the system with
Hostetters Btters before the calamity comes It may
always be escaped and let it also be remembered that
Indigestion gene al debility, biousness, constipation

CLAp-TRAP AND CAST.-Invald reader, if
you are unwise enough to put yourself outside
Of any Of the mock tonics guaranteed TO con-
tain mo ditfGsive stimulant," you will inevi-
tably come to grief Ask your physician If
any liquid preparation, destitute of stimulating
properties, is worthy of the name of tonic.
He will tell you no. Shun all such nauseous
catchpennies. PLANTATION BITTERS, the most
wholesome inygorant in the world, owes the
rapidity with which it relieves the disordered
stomach and the shattered nerves to the ditiu-
sive agent which conveys its medicinal ingre-
dients to the seat of the complain& That
agent is the spirit of the sugar cane, the most
nutritious aud agreeable of all the varieties OF
alcohol. The medicinal ingredients of the Bit
tiers, valuable as they are, would be compara-
lively useless without this distributive basis.

Gentlemen's Clothing.

The novelty for business suits is their
short, iaunty, double breasted coat, gen.
orally called the pea-jacket. The suit is
made of dark mixtures, with almost
invisible plaids formed of threads of
white. The entire suit, coat, vest, and
pantaloons, is made from the same piece
of cloth, and costs from S75 to $85.
The overcoat for such suits is a long
sacque of rough cloth, such as Elysian
and fur beavers.
Semi-dress suits for church, visiting,
ETC., are made of black or blue cloth
with raised curled perpendicular
lines, or indented checks, or the basket
woven goods, instead of diagonals so
long worn. The whole suit made of this
fabric costs $S5. The coat is the double.
breasted Prince Albert, with longer
skirts than those of last season; the vest
is single e-breasted, with notched collar,
and buttoned high TO wear with a scarf ;
both coat and vest are bound the pan
falcons are of medium width, shaped to
the limbs. Sometimes the single-breast-
ed cut.away, Newmarket coat is pre-
ferred for this suit. BY way of variety.
an extra pair of pantaloons is provided
to wear with this coat and vest. These
are made of thick rough-surfaced Scotch
mixtures in shaded gray stripes, or else
grayish-black grounds with white lines,
or a faint suggestion Of warmer color.
Price 500.
There is IN effort to introduce for
carriage wear the English driving coat of
light drab Oh cream colored beaver. 1t
is long and double breasted, with collar
of the same, and two rows of buttons
down the front.
There is no change in full-dress suits.
They remain of solemn black, with
swallow-tailed coat, low-rollcd collar,
and pantaloons all made from the same
roll of broadcloth.
The English overcoat for opera and
other full dress occasions is the doubie,
breasted surtoat. Instead of this tight
fitting garment, the preference here is
for loose. easy sack overcoat of light
oraY or creamy brown cloth.

TRAINING BEARs.-Many years age
Zebulon Stanaope, a farmer residing
near New London, Conn.,, trained q
couple of bears to plow and do other la
bors of the field and road. On one oc-
casion he started to town with q sleigh
load OF wheat, but some of the harness
breaking, the farmer set about repairing
the damage, when one of the bears
seized him by the legand sorely wound
ed it. The bears then simultaneously
ran off, leaving the farmer to reach his
house alone, which he did with difficult
ty after four hours labor. Two or three
days were spent in useless search, and
bears and sled were given up as lost;
when, upon the third day at noon, a
noise was heard in the road, and, to the
establishment of the Stanhopes, they
beheld the two bears drawing the sled
into the barn, and instead of the wheat,
four large bears and three cubs. The
door was suddenly closed, and the stran-
gers were shot with long gun thrust
through the crevices of the building.

The Training of an Author.

The Popular Science Monthly informs
US that Mr.. Tyndall, the ancestor OF
the distinguished Professor, who lived
at the epoch Of Columbus, was devoted
to religious reform, and translated the
Bible into English for the people. But
he found worse navigation on the theo-
logical sea than Columbus encountered
on the Atlantic, and was burned at the
stake for his opinions in 1886. Professor
Ty ndall's father inherited from his an
cestors taste for religious controversy,
and threw himself zealously as an anti
Romanist into the Protestant and Catho-
lie warfare. Young Tyndall's early in
tellectual discipline consisted almost
wholly of exercises in theological con-
troversy, on the doctrines of infallibllity,
purgatory, transubstantiatlon, and in
vocation of the saints. The boy knew
the Bible almost by heart, and, with
reference to this knowledge, his father
used to call him Stillingfeet. But he
had also an early interest in natural
things, and his father fattered this
tendency by calling him Newton, and
by teaching him lines concerning the
great natural philosopher, before he was
seven years old, that are still remember
ed. The father of Prof. Tyndall was
not only Intellectually gifted, but he was
a man of courage, independence, mental
delicacy, and scrupulous honor. By the
silent influence of his character, by ex-
ample as we'll as by precept, he inspired
the intellect of his boy, and taught him
to love q life of manly independence.
He died in May, 1947, quoting to his
son the words of Wolsey to Cromwell
"Be Just and fear nothing"
Of Professor Tyndall as an author, it
is hardly necessary to speak, as his
various works have been wildly circulated
and the reading public is familiar with
them. Yet his genius as writer is so
marked that it cannot be omitted even
In the briefest sketch of his character.
Among scientific writer's he stands almost
alone in the poetic vividness, force, and
finish of his style. His descriptions and
variations are enriched by bold and
striking pictorial imagery, which pre-
sents the subject with almost the per-
spective and ''coloring of reality" No
man better understands the high Office
of imagination in science, or can more
effectively employ it to fascinate and
illuminate the minds of others. OF an
ardent and poetic temperament, and at
home among the grandeurs of natural
phenomena, there is often an inspiration
in his words that rouses and thrills our
highest feeling.

Popular Superstition in Corfu.

On Easter day in Corfu, when the ring
ing of bells at noon respond to the voice Of
the bishop, "Our Lord is Rlsen,' the win
dows are thrown up and crash of old
crockery resounds along the pavements OF
the narrow streets; old women shout
Avaunt feas, bugs and all vermin! and
make way for the lord Of all to enter" ac-
companying the invocation with shower
of broken pots and pans. On these occa-
sions, woe to the luckless stranger
who may be walking through the streets
of Corfu in unhappy ignorance OF this do
mestlc institution, of which, perchance, a
noiseless water jug flying in dangerous
proximity to his own nose may suddenly
enlighten him. Greek saints, which, in a
measure, supply the places Of the gods OF
passed away mythology, are invoked for
blessing and assistance in all the impor-
tant affairs Of maritime and agricultural
life. The planting of the seed and the
gathering of the fruits require each ben
ediction; boat purchased by Greek
from Turk must be formally purified; st.
Eustace is respectfully requested to free
field or vineyard from caterpillacs; st.
Peter gives particular attention to the
fishcrman's nets and lines; Elijah blesses
salt; St. Procopius protects the thick skull
Of the stupid schoolboy.
After the slaughter of the lambs on
Easter day, a lock of wool is dipped into
the blood and cross is inscribed with it
on the Intel of the door. Within the
memory OF old islanders the obolo small
copper coin, has been deposited in the cof-
fin of the dead to pay Charon his fee across
the Styx. In parts of the country evil
spirits are supposed to be abroad at noon,
during the month of August, and the peas
ants shut themselves up in their houses.
A coffin nail, here, as in many other parts
of the world, when driven into house,
affords perfect security from ghosts, and a
triangular bit of paper on which is written
the name of disease acknowledgements the
appearance of that malady in the neighbor-
hood. Rags tied to bit of stick receive
the evil spirits exercised by the papa" or
priest. To drop oil bodies no good, and to
see priest at sunrise is very bad omen,
and convenient apology for the reverend
sluggard. 1t is but fair to say that these
and hundred other superstitions are
chiefly prevalent among the peasantry, and
in the towns are confined to tie lowest
classes.
