gather them, were these One OF the color
cd walters named John Clark was eating
a piece OF meat in the saloon. when
another waiter named John Leonard told
him to 90 from the saloon, as he would
drop grease on the carpet CLARK replied
with abusive and insulting language,
which finally brought on q fight, and dur
in.c the melee Clark made free use Of a
razor, rs the severe wounds on his an
tagonist'S person and cuts in his clothing
show. The severest wound is iii Leon

Powerful Tonic.

Promoting the Appetite and Invigorating the
whole Digestive Apparatus, thus building up
and strengthening the system, while at the
same time the volatile principle, being alb
sorbed in the blood, acts specifically on the
Rheumatie Poison, removing It from the circu-
latiOn and system.
There are few remedies known To the Medical
Profession which will remove the Rheumatic
Poison from the blood, but whose action Is so
powerful in depressing the system OF the al
ready enfeebled Rheumatic patient, that their
use has 20 be abandoned before specific effects
are obtainable, and hence the want Of success
in treating this prevalent and consequently
heretofore incurable disease. Unlike these
medicines, already known, the UNK WEED
REMEDY, although producing as active and as
powerful effects on the blood and system in re-
moving the Rheumatic Poison, also possesses "a
strong Tonic and Rccuperating Element which
admits of its continued use even by the most
delicate and debilitated. Thus we have the
combination for the first time of these two
necessary elements in one remedy, which ac-
counts for its superior and neverfailing curative
effects in rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout and
Rheumatic Pains of all kinds.
y. T. The UNK WEED REMEDY Is partic-
ularly APPLICABLE TO LADIES, in conse-
quence Of its Tonic Qualities.

THE LOST BOY.-The Boston Tr0rcley
thinks the following story good illus
tration of the way q good many strip
lings in Jacket and trousers" miss their
hearings and their wits:
The pet of a family, residing pot far
from Lagrange street, is boy who has
recently passed his fifth year, and hav-
ing just donned his first pocket and
trowsers, is attending primary school.
The other afternoon he failed TO come
home at the usual hour, much TO the
alarm of the household, and after a long
search, he was found, sometime after
dark, at the Providence depot.
He was sent TO bed without much eX-
PLANTATION, though ii is possible his treat
ment was what Solomon would have
recommended in such an emergency.
The next morning he was down to the
breakfast table, evidently none the
worse for the lesson and perhaps wiser.
Taking advantage of a lhll in the con-
versatiOn customary at the morning
meal, he turned his grave countenance
10 the lady at the head of the table, and
giving free vent TO overcharged mind,
he exclaimed:
"pll tell you, mamma, how it hap
pened. After school / went part of the
way home with Mary -. At the cor
ner of the street where she left me
kissed her and she kissed me, and then
l was lost.n
There was an explosion around the Ia
bic just about then. It is suspected that
this is not the first young man who has
been lost under similar circumstances.

AN INTERESTING SCIENTIFIC EN-
TERPRIsE.-It is a fact well understood
by the unlearned rs well as the learned
that i'm determining the true north line
surveyors and civil engineers are accus-
toned TO make certain allowance for
what is called "the variation of the mag
neiic needle" or in other words, it is
well known that the magnetic needle
does not point due north. The extent Of
this variation differs with different Pc
riods of time, and, also, in different To-
calities on the earth's surface. Another
well known fact connected with the
operation Of the magnetic needle is that
when suspended upon n pivot, instead
Of assuming an exact horizontal posi-
ton it has n slight dip toward the north,
and that the extent of this dip likewise
varies with time and place. In view of
these well known facts il becomes a sub
ject of great practical Importance, as
well as matter of great interest to sci
ence, to determinate the true north line
of different points of the earth's surface,
in order to know what extent the needle
varies from the north course, and also,
to see to what extent the needle dips at
different localities. When the true
north line is once established at differ
ent points, it will then be an easy mat
ter 10 note from year TO year the sligh-
est difference either by way of an in
crease or a variation of the needle from
this true line from year to year. The
true north line is found by an astronom-
ical observation, and the process of
ascertaining the true meridian line and
measuring the intensity of the magnetic
/ force which controls the variation and
dip of the needle is called magnetic
survey"
Such n survey Of the United States is
now being made by DIR. I. c. Hilgard,
under the auspices Of the National Acad-
emy of Science.
The Smithsonian Institute will pub
lish the result of these surveys for the
general benefit of the community.-.Y.

The NAGABoND SAGE.-An old man
Of very active physiognomy, answering
to the name of Jacob Wilmot, was taken
before the police court. His clothes look

second hand in his youthful prime, for
they had suffered moro from the rubs of
the world than the proprietor himself.
What business ?"

and vagabonds are about the same thing.
The difference is that the latter travel
without money and the former without

" Whore have you travelled ?"
"Al over the continent"
Cor what purpose ?"
"Ohscrvation."
What have you observed ?"

and great deal to laugh at"
IIumph What do you commend ~
"A handsome woman that will stay at
home an eloquent preacher that will
prcach short sermons; a good writer that
viii not write too much, and fool with

What do you ccnsure ?"
"A man that marrics girl for her fine

WHAT IT Is TO BE WIDOW"
think it must be n jolly thing to be a
young widow !" l heard tins remark
the other day, in group Of laughing
girls. think | remember saying such a
thing myself in my girlish times. Do
you know, girls, what it is to be Il widow?
1t is to be ten times more open to COM
ment and criticism than any demoiscllc
could possibly be. 1t is to have men
gaze as you pass, first at your black dress
and then at your widows cap, until your
sensitive nerves quiver under the inflic-
ton. | Is to have one ill-naturcd per-
son say, 81 wonder how long she will
wait before she marrics again?" and an
other answers, Until she gets n good
chance, [ suppose" 1t is now and then
to meet the glance Of real sympst by, gen
orally from the poorest and humblest
woman you meet, and feel your eyes fill
at the token, so rare that it is, alas, un-
looked for. 1t is to havo your dear fash
ionablc friends console you aitor the fol-
lowing fashion ooh, we'll it is dread
ul loss. We knew you'd feel it, dear"
And in the next breath, "You will be
sure to marry again, and your widow S
cap is very becoming to YOU" But it is
more than this to be widow. 1t is too
miss the strong arm you have leaned
upon, the true faith that you knew could
never fail you, though all the world
might iorsako you. 1t is TO miss the
dear voice that uttered your name with II
tenderness that mono other could give it.
1t is to hear no more the we'll known
footsteps that you flew 50 gladly once to
meet. To see no more the face that to
your adoring eyes seemed rs the face OF
the angels OF God to feels no moro the
tWining arms that folded you so lovingly;
the dear eyes that, looking into your
own, said plainly, whatever it might
seem to others, yours was the fnircst face
earth held for him. 1t IS to fight with n
mighty sorrow as n man fights with the
waves that overwhclm him, and to hold
it at arms length for awhile, only to have
in the hours Of lonliness and weakness
tho torrent roll over you, while-poor
storm driven dove-you see no haven.
