DIsAsTERs.-OnC year ago the great
Northwest was sited by Il series of the
most disasterous fires which are known
to history indeed, for extent and clean
ness of sweep they are unparalleled in
this or any other country. Disasters Of
this sort in a country of such immense
resources as this, il not reiterated too
frequently, do not work irreparable
damage, and in one year most of the de-
stroyed cities and towns have grown up
again more vigorous than before the
fire. A new danger now threatens them
from the fierce tornadoes which have
lately done and may continue to do a
great amount of material evil along the
borders of and upon the lakes. Huron
Michigan, and Erie, have thus been
visited by almost unheardo of storms
which have caused great disasters to
property and life.

FACTS ABOUT DYsPEPsIA.-Dyspepsia
is a weak stomach made weak by over
work, and, like man made weak by
overwork, it needs rest, needs repoSe
but, as we cannot live without eating, the
necessity must be met by giving the
stomach as little work to do as possible
and that work should be easy, just as we
ourselves, in the weakness of recovery
from disease, invite our strength back
by doing but little work and that which
can be easily done. The cure Of most
cases of Dyspepsia becomes extremely
simple and very certain, if these few
first principles are judiclously applied in
any given case-to wit: give the stomach
but little to do; let that little be of kind
which is easily done, and let both be so
arranged that the stomach may do its
work easily and speedily and Lave
abundant time for rest. The work Of
the stomach is called 'digestion,' and
means the process of preparing the food
for yielding it's nutrient portions to the
system, to give it warmth, growth and
strength. As general thing, dyspep-
tics should not drink anything at meals,
because there is liquid in the stomach
which dlssolves the food-in sense,
melts it. If cold water is drunk, it cools
this stomach-Iiquid, and it loses its pow
er of melting the food, so to speak; as
the cooler the water is, the less is it able
to melt the ice in it. OF course, every
physiologist knows that this comparison
is not critically true; but it conveys the
essential practical idea to the minds OF
tha masses

PINK SNow.-Dr. Cholen in a letter
from Norway, says: One day, after
travelling long distance over the snow,
he suddenly saw large patch of pink
snow, and afterwards came upon two
other patches. He remembered then
that pink snow is often seen on the Alps,
and that it has been found that the
cause of it is little insect, which can
only be seen by the help Of the micro
scope.

How TO LIVE CHEAPLY.-Dr. Dio
Lewis relates how he lived for week
on food that cost 81! cents. He worked
hard meantime, and gained half a pound.
He took two meals day. The follow
ing are specimen ones: Sunday break
fast, hulled Southern corn, with little
milk. Dinner the same. Total cost,
six cents. Tuesday breakfast, two cents
worth of beans, with a half cents
worth of vinegar. Wednesday dinner,
two cents worth of beef stew, quarter
of cents worth of pepper, and cents
worth of hominy pudding. Saturday
dinner, lobster, three cents; bread, one
cent; hcminy salad, one cent; cracked
wheat and milk, two cents. This day ne
had ''spree"--cost, seven cents.

THE INVASION OF ENGLAND.-Serge
Bates will be remembered as the Union
soldier who carried the United States
flag during the early part Of the year
1868 through the South from Vicksburg,
Miss, to Washington, D. c., on foot.
Next week the Sergeant leaves for Liver
pool by the steamer Manhattan, to carry
the American flag from the boundary
line between England and Scotland to
the Guildhall in London, the conditions
of the enterprise being that the flag is to
be of regular army size, and to be borne
on foot in the day time without hindrance
or moleslation between the points named.
It seems that when the Alabama treaty
controversy was vehemently carried on
throughout the country, a merchant of
Saybrook, ILL.,, named Warren, averred
his belief that the English hated the
Americans, and if any damages were
awarded to the United States by the
Geneva Tribunal, British blood would be
SO embittered us to seek the first oppor-
tunity to do this country some injury.
Sergeant Bates said he believed no such
feelings existed, and instanced his faith
in the general hypothesis that nations
were nearer together than is generally
supposed by instancing his tour South.
81 bet you $1,000 to $780," said Mr..
Warren, "you can't do thatin England
Done" said the Sergeant, and hence
the tour soon to come off. The articles
of agreement has been drawn up.

WOMAN IN SICKNESS. In no situation,
and under no circumstances, does the
female character, appear to such adj.
vantage as when watching beside the
bedside of sickness. The chamber of
disease may indeed be said to be woman's
home. We there behold her in her
loveliest, most attractive point of view
firm, without being harsh tender, not
weak !; active, yet not quiet gentle,
patient, accomplishing, vigilant. Every
sympathetic feeling that so peculiarly
graces the feminine character, is there
called forth while the native strength
of mind which has hitherto slumbered
in inactivity, is reused to its fullest en-
ergy. With noiseless step she moves
about the chamber of the invalid her
listening ear ever ready to catch the
slightest murmur her quick, kind
glance to interpret the unuttered wish,
and supply the half-formed want. She
smooths with careful hand the uneasy
pillow which supports the aching head,
or with cool hand soothes the fevered
brow, or proffers to the glazed and
parching lip the grateful draught, happy
if she meets one kind glance in payment
for her labor of love. Hers, too, is the
whispered voice, which breathes of
life and hope-of health in store for
happy days to come or tells Of better
and of heavenly rest, where neither
sorrow nor disease can come-where the
dark power of death no more shall have
dominion over the frail, suffering, per-
ishing clay. Through the dim, silent
watches of the night, when all around
are hushed in sleep, it is hers to keep
lone vigils, and to hold communion with
her God, and silently lift up her heart
in fervent prayer, for the prolongment of
a life for which she would cheerfally sac
riice her own. And even when, exhaust
ed, she sinks to brief repose, forgetful-
ness is denied. Even in sleep she seems
awake to this one great subject of her
care. She starts and rises from her
slumbers, raises her dropping head, and
watches with dreamy eyes the face she
loves, then sinks again to rest, to start
with every chime of clock or distant
sound, which formerly had passed un-
heard, or only served as lullaby to her
sweet sleep.

OUTRAGEOUS CRUELTy.-The South
African diamond diggers, in their anger at
the continued thieving, are very violent il
their punisnments, and some brutal cases
are heard Of A Kafir laid a com plaint
before the magistrate at New Rush on
Thursday, that his master, after accusing
MIN of stealing diamonds, of which he was
innocent, had held him down whilst pair
of carpenters pinchers were fetched. On
the pinchers being brought the complain
ant was told that If he did not confess
every one of his teeth would be drawn out.
The complainant said he had nothing to
confess, and his master instantly set to
work and took out his teeth. As the
mans teeth were gone and his gums and
lips dreadfulIy lacerated there appeared to
be no doubt about the fact. John Creed
Harley and James Craig have been COM
mitted for trial on charge Of numbering
a native. AS the case now stands the ac
cused are alleged to have tied the bands
and feet of the deceased together, and
then beat him with rope until be was
exhausted, and that they then took a
knife and cut him about the head until, as
is believed, he was quite dead. They
went to DR.. Thorne and reported to him
that the unfortunate man b id been drink
ing hard, and that ne had died OF injuries
and exposure arising from falling and ly-
ing out IN the cold. The prisoners are to
be tried at Kilpdrift.

When Morse threw off the magnetic tele-
graph as spark from his electric mind, it
was only to find that Ampere was already
familiar with the affair. And poor Elias
Howe could not be allowed to have the
glory of making the sewing machine all
to himself, but Thimonnier disputed his
claim, and made all France believe he had
actually designed the thing, even though
the cunning Yankee had got the start in
the small matter of execution. Thimon-
nie1's widow died few weeks ago, and
was buried in great pomp, the sewing
machine manufacturers turningeut in great
number to pay their respect to the mem
ory of the inventor Of their craft, and
after the funeral they dined together and
subscribed two thousand dollars for
