A BITTER CoNTRovERsY.-The temper
ance organs are waging bitter war on the
manufacturers of alcoholic bitters, and
their attacks are resented with equal bit,
terness by the latter, who seem deter
mined to prosecute the quarrel to the
bitter end. In the meantime novelty in
tonic medicines is making immense pro.
gress in the confidence of all classes and
conditions of society throughout the
United States and British America. We
refer to DR.. WALKER's CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTERs, and we call it a novelty in
tonics because it contains no alcohol-an
article heretofore considered essential in
medicinal invigorants. The abstemious
portion of the community approve the
omission, and as the new remedy is curing
dyspepsia, biliousness nervous affections,
and, in fact, a majority of the diseases
external and internal, which prevail, it is
difficult to see how the more self-indul
gent portion of our fellow citizens car
conscientiously object to it. One thing is
certain ifever there was what the French
call "grand success" the sudden and
continually increasing popularity of the
VINEGAR BITTERs, deserves that name
The advocates of temperance point to the
salutary effects produced by this inalco
holic restorative as proof that spirituous
stimulants are not needed for medicinal
purposes-a position which has been re.
Gently taken by many eminent medical

familiar with the Neptunes" or runners,
who get 81 besides wages for every man
they bring to the landlords; also with
the sailor lawyers, who trump up charges
of maltreatment against captains, and get
from $50 to $500 hush-money from most
of the victims-the money going, one
third to the runner, one-third to the law
yer, and one-third to the boarding house
keeper, leaving nothing for Jack. 1t has
been estimated that 10000 seamen ship
annually from this port, and that 100000
per annum has been illegally taken from
them. The new Board proposes to pro-
tect the sailor on ship and shore from al
the sharks that beset him. The officials
will see that he gets his money; he viii
choose his own boarding house; will pay
25 cents instead of $40 or $15 for stu
alton. In short, the intention is that nc
loophole shall be left through which his
enemies may attack him.

Shsltar--An English Burlesque.

BY the wide lakes margin marked her lie
The wide, weird lake, where the alders sigh
young, fair thing, with shy, soft eye;
And l deemed that her thoughts had flown
To her home, and her brethren, and sisters
dear,
As she lay there watching the dark, deep mere,
All motionless, all alone
Then heard a noise, as Of men and boys,
And boisterous troop drew nigh.
Wither now will retreat those fairy feet?
Where hide till the storm pass by?
One glance, the wild glance of hunted thing,
She cast behind her; she gave one spring,
And there followed splash and broadening
ring,
On the lake where the alders sigh.
She had gone from the ken of ungentle menl
Yet scarce did moan for that;
For knew she was safe in her own home then,
And, the danger past, would appear again,
For she was water-rat.

A CAR TRIcK.-Francis the Chief of a
Carlist band, rece fly executed brilliant
manpuvre. He was being hotly pursued
by the troops when Francis stopped the
train which was on its way to Reus, made
all the passengers get out, and installed
his own men very comfortably in their
place. The conductors could make no re-
sists1ce, and the six hundred carlists
quietly arrived at Reus, to the utter as
tonishment of the inhabitants, who were
expecting very different sort of passen-
gers.

AN OLD MYsrERY.-A case of enterprise

AN OLD MYsTERY.-A case of enterprise
on the part of London newspaper report: ::
er has recently ccme to light, which re-
fleets more credit upon the industry and
ingenuity of its originator than on his hon
esty. Our readers may possibly remember
reading accounts Of discovery made IN
London in 1857 Of carpet-bag containing
human remains, which discovery caused
great excitement and furnished material
for numerous articles under the title OF
''The Waterloo Bridge Mystery" All the
detectives of London were at work on the
case, and all were thoroughly batfted.
Lately the matter has been brought into
notice again by British soldier stationed
in In1ia avowing himself to be the person
who threw the sack with its contents into
the river; but as his story was found to
disagree with the statements published in
the newspapers at the time of the discov-
cry, it was conjectured that the soldier
had lied about the affair in the hope of
being sent home to England. The revival
of the subject, however, has had the effect
of bringing out letter from an old sub
editor, who writes to the Birmingham
Gazette that the whole affair was the result
o. scheme concocted by an impecunlous
penny-a-liner IN order to supply material
for An exciting newspaper article. The
human remains contained in the sack were
procured by the reporter from dissecting
room, and the sack was let down from
Waterloo bridge by confederate, who
was disguised as woman. The trick sue
cceded, the originator of the scheme was
first on the ground with the news, and all
London was set agog by the rumors which
gained currency in regard to the ''horrible
mystery" which has never been explained
until now.

HAD THE BUFFALo.-Buffalo Bill will
weep when he reads in a Western paper
of Daniel Otto, OF Osborne City, Kansas,
who, while chasing the buffalo recently,
wounded the animal with his pistol, when
the infuriated brute turned upon him.
Flight was impossible, so Mr.. Otto seize
the long hair on the shoulder Of the buf-
falO and mounted him. While seated on
the animals back, he reloaded his pistol
and put the load right in the back part of
the front shoulder. This brought the
buffalo to his knees and sent Otto whirl-
ing about ten feet over his head. Gather
ing himself up, he looked around, and
there sat the buffalo on his knees gazing
at him with no friendly look, but one
more load finished him.

How THEY FARM IN AR1zoNA.--'Do
you know how they carry on agriculture
down there ?" asked the Judge. "There
was fellow who hired himself out as a
farm hand in Arizona, and the first day
his master told him to cut some wood.
So he asked for an axe, but the farmer
said, no we don't cut wood with an axe,
here" and gave him sledge hammer to
knock and break off the mesquit which
they burn down there. The next day
John was ordered to cut some hay, and
was looking about for scythe when his
master said, I'VE don't cut hay with a
scytbe down here, and gave him hoe to
chop down the woody stalks with which
they swindle the horses there for hay
The third morning the farmer called his
man to come out and plant corn. John
looked for a hoe, but his master said
We don't plant corn with hoe ont here, ,
and gave him crow bar with which t.
punch holes in the ground wherein tC
drop corn and John left the country in
disgust at that kind of farm work"

MANNERS. you bow to lady
in the street, permit her to decide wheth-
er you shall do so or not, by at least q
look of recognition. Excuse my gloves
is an unnecessary apology, for the glove
should not be withdrawn to shake hands.
When your companion bows to lady,
you should do so also. When a gentle
man bows to lady in your company,
always bow to him in return. A letter
must be answered unless you wish to in
innate to the writer that he or his object
is beneath your notice. A visit must be
returned in like manner even though no
intimacy is intended. A smiling counte-
nance is pleasant, but excess of laughter
should be avoided, especially when it is
possible for any one to suppose himself
derided by it. Whispering is always Of
fensive, and often for the reason that per-
sons present suspect that they are the

DRESS, DRY GooDs, ExTRAvAGANoE.-
Merchants, tradesmen, mechanics, labor
ors and all classes, says the Neao York
Herald, work intently from morning till
night, more to pay for the extravaganza
of dress than for the mere necessaries Of
life. How many of our men are kept at
the mill of snxious toll, and even to the
breaking down of their health, to pay for
the dry goods extravaganza of their fami-
lies. Nine-tenths of the conversation of
women, wherever they may be, and a
great deal of their time are devoted to
this subject. 1t seems to be the sum of
their existence. With all our wealth,
industry, and natural resources the nation
is getting deeper and deeper in debt every
year for dry goods and other luxuries
and for dry goods especially. All the
gold we extract from the earth, and more
is drained from the country to pay the
balance of trade against US. Our cotton.
corn, flour and other products do not dis
charge our foreign Indebtedness for i'm
portations. The interest on our securities
held abroad can hardly be less than sixty
to eighty millions of gold. And with all
the money and wealth of labor that immi-
grants bring, our fifty thousand or more
American absentees in Europe, mostly OF
the rich class, draw probably an equal
amount from this country. Should we
be surprised, then, that we cannot get to
specie payments, or that gold should even
rise? Evidently more economy is needed.

Amar and his wife at Keokuk were
lately arrested for selling liquor on Sun,
day, when it was discovered that they
had an arrangement of religious views
excently adapted to their business. He
said that he was Seventh Day Baptist
and observed Saturday as day of rest
and devotion, and hence claimed the
right to carry on his business on Sunday.
The wife, on the other-hand, belonged
to the Reformed Dutch Church, and had
no scruple to attending to the shop on
Saturday.
