a OBSTRUCTIVE CYCLONE IN ZANZIBAR.
A correspondent of the London Times.
writing from Zanzibar in relation to
hurricane that occurred there on the
10th OF April, says the reefs surround
ing the harbor were studded with wrecks.
The Sultan had lost all Of his vessels.
With the exception Of one small steamer.
reports from the interior lead us to be.
lleve that not only have most of the co.
coanut trees been uprooted, but that oil
OF the cassava, sweet potatoes. Indian
corn, rice, and other more unimportant
crops. forming the property of perhaps
oOO, 900 people. and on which they de.
pend for mere sustenance, have been
utterly destroyed. The effects of the
hurricane on the island generally were
similar to what occurred in nv own
house. have no hesitation in saving
that utter ruin prevails, and that famine.
with oil its attendant horrors and dan
gers. is imminent. IF the cyclone has
liberated 800, 900 sla YES, something ought
to be done for their maintenance: for
unless their mhsters expend their all in
providing for them, death from disease
and starvation must ensue. In Zanzibar
there are at present no means of melting
such calamity. No such disaster as this
has ever visited the island, or was ever
anticipated. The loss of life in the town
and harbor has been immense. The
storm was 10 terrific and unexpected
that means for safety were not used.
Native ghows, with their crews, sank in
the harbor, and many inhabitants pc
rished in the wreck of their houses. The
damage done on the 10Th will probably
amount to four or Ave millions sterling.
That more than half the commerce of
Zanzibar has been destroyed for years
is nnquestionable, but what the impend-
ing effects on the native population may
be, one can hardly form an estimate.

CRIMINAL SECREcY.-The martinets
the medical profession insist that it is be-
meath the dignity of regular physician to
advertise. If member of the medical fac
ulty should discover an absolute remedy for
any disease, it would be breach of profess
sional decorum to offer the specific for sale
through the journals of the day. Scoring
such prejudices, one of our leading practi-
TONERS is now making known to the public,
through the columns of over three thousand
newspapers, one of the most comprehensive
remedies for disease that has e> er assuaged
the sutierings of humanity. DIR. WALKERS
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, although a
comparatively new medicine, has already
attracted the attention of millions in both
hemispheres. 1t has been advertised
through all the channels accessible to ad-
vertisng enterprise, and the result has been
the preservation of thousands of lives, and
the prevention of an untold amount of ply
steal torture. DR.. Walker thinks that the
"greatest good of the greatest number "is
the true object of medical science, and
hence he steps boldly out of the contracted
circle of professional exclusiveness, and
places his Great Restorative within the
reach of all. Its beneficial effect in cases
of chronic dyspepsia, bllousness, kidney
disease, govt, diseases of throat and lungs,
rheumatism, nervous complaints and all
disorders of the secretive and excretive or
gans, is beyond all estimate Com.

A Mexican Pawn shop.

William Cullen Bryant, in one of his
letters from Mexico, says
/ was curious to see the Monte Pho, n
national institution for lending money
on pledges of personal property. II oc.
cupies what was once the palace of Cor
tez, looking upon the Cathedral Square,
and built it is said, on the very spot
where stood the royal dwelling of Mon.
tezuma Cortez must have brought over
from Spain his artisans to hew and lay
the stones of this massive structure,
which has furnished pattern for all the
mansions of the wealthy residents of
Mexico which have been built since.
I found the great building filled from
the ground floor to the roof with articles
pawned by persons in need. The lower
part, under the galleries, was crowded
with every kind, from the heavy family
coach to the light gig, and with every
movable that could be sold for money.
In another part of the building, in
well-secured apartment, and kept in
drawers safely locked, are jewels of every
kind, diamonds, rubies, pearls, sap
phires and the like, in the shape of
wreaths for the brow, necklaces, brace
LET'S, eardrops and every other kind of
ornament worn by women. Elsewhere |
saw garments of various kinds, from
the most costly silks and shawls to the
plainest chintzes and coarsest handker-
chiefs. All these are appraised at their
just value, from which ahe interest for
six months is deducted and the remain
der paid to the owner AT the end of
six months the articles pawned are sold
by auction, and if they bring more than
the original valuation the owl er receives
the difference. 1t is worth remarking
that the institution is managed with per-
feet integrity-at lest in such a manner
that there is no complaint of unfairness
or wrong. | could not help thinking
with shame on the extent to which some
of our savings banks, established under
pretence of aiding the poorer class, have
swindled those who gave them their con-
fidence, and was obliged to own to my
self that Mexico in this respect, was
more honest than New York.

Wages i'm Massachusetts.

The facts developed by the Massachu-
sets Bureau of Statistics of Labor, will
be read with interest at this time by all.
The Bureau seem to have done their
work WELL Information tabulative rela-
tive to the earnings, &c, of men engaged
in the fisheries, principally on the Grand
Banks, along shore, and in the bay of
st. Lawrence, show the following, for in
stance. A vessel of forty to 1l5 tons,
costing $4,000 to $4,000, absent from
four to six months on the Banks Of
Newfoundland, will earn $500, the small
est earnings being $500. Taking TWEEN
ty-tive separate cases the average earn
ings per year is 1882. The highest aver
age earnings embrace the largest number
of persons engaged in the business, as
there is uniformity of share to the lar
gest number of fishermen, the small
shares belonging to the green hands, &c.
Referring to the work of women, illus
trations are given of cooks, chamber
maids, kitchen and table-girls, in some
ten of the the leading counties of the
State with the following result. 1t must
be understood that in these cases board
is included, and the figures given are an
average of all those cases looked into by
the bureau:-Cooks, S.S5; Chamber
maids, 81. 81; Kitchen girls, 29S Table
girls, S4.14; Average hours of labor per
week, Go; General average earnings per
year, S274,56.

Horse DIsTEMPER. The best mode to
treat horse distemper is TO feed plenty
of bran mashes, and poultice.the throat
with bran or turnips, and rs soon as the
swelling begins 10 soften, II it does not
break, it should be opened with knife,
Also smoke the nostrils with old boot
leather, in kettle or tia, once day,

those parts. Do not get him wet or ex-

come round all right.
The INDIAN WAY WITH Comm. b.
Wade, Bridgefield, Conn. | beg to
offer the Club the plan OF preserving
sweet.corn in Winter which we have fol-
lowed very successfully in our family for
several wears. We take the corn right
from the hill and remove some of the
husks, but not all, and put il in the
stove-oven, aud leave it there from 20
10 80 minutes. Then take it out, take
of the rest of the husks, and with two
tined fork strip the corn from the cob,
put on dishes and return to the oven to
dry. This is the Indian method, only
instead of the oven they use hot stones
then dry in the sun.
NARROWING Cons. A correspondent
OF the Western Farmer gives the follow
ing description of how he harrows his
corn: i commence just as soon rs the
corn comes up and continue as needed,
to keep soil loose and weeds out of sight,
until it is so tall the harrow will break
1t Off if used. There is nothing so need
full to secure IA crop of corn, with our
short seasons, as frequent stirring of the
soil when it is in its first stages of growth,
and no tool will do this so cheaply or 80
thoroughly in the hill as the rightly CON
structed harrow. / harrow back and
forth till have my land as desire. If
the corn is rowed both ways of the field,
the second narrowing should cross the
first, the third, the second, and so on.
/ have not had failure in four years
with Dent corn on my white, heavy cold
soil

Children In the Coal Mines,

At the mouth of each shute below the
screen, writes one who has visited a coal
mine, sits q child, watching the slowly
moving stream of coal and carefully
picking out every splinter of slate.
Hour after hour the dusty stream flows
on; hour after hour this unkempt, grimy,
ragged splinter of humanity works on
like machine. And there are hundreds,
thousands like him, wasting their child
hood in these dusky, cherries barn like
structures, seeing no color but black
hearing nothing but the harsh cracking
and sliding of coal and slate, knowing
nothing but the need of constant watch
fulness.
&C Is there no possible way of doing
without the labor OF these children %
asks the Junior
"None has been found vet" the Su-
perintendant replies. "No machine
can tell slate from coal. People won't
buy coal with slate IN it, and we could
not afford to pay men for doing what
these boys do quite as well, if not better
SO the boys have to do it." They rather
hike it,
Do they never have any schooling?"
Not much, and what they do get is of
no particular use to them. They're a
hard lot, | assure you
g As well they may be-"
If those who marvel at the savagery
which breaks out from time to time in
these semi subterraneau mining commu-
mites, could only see the life these incip-
lent miners are bred to, much of the
mystery would disappear.
