r CAsToRIA-a substitute for Castor Oil is a physic which does not distress or gripe, but is sure to operate when all other remedies have failed. You confi- dently rely on the Castoria in Stomach Ache, Constipation, Flatulency, Group, Worms, Piles or deranged Liver. It con tains neither Minerals, Morphine, Opium, nor Alcohol, but is purely vegetable preparation, perfectly harmless, and above all, pleasant to take. The sCastoria soothes and quiets the system and pro- duces natural sleep. It is a wonderful thing to assimilate the food of children and prevent them from crying. A 35 cent bottle will do the work for a family and save many doctors bills.

Phosphorus BrOnZes.

A great advance has lately been made
in the construction of bronzes by the
addition of "a small percentage of phos-
phorus, although the precise function
of this substance has not been hitherto
we'll understood. According to Levi
and Kunzel, however, one cause of the
inferiority in bronze consists in the
constant presence Of traces OF tin in
the state OF an oxide, which acts me-
chanicslly by separating the molecules
of the alloy, thus interposing sub
stance which in itself has no tenacity.
The addition of phosphorus reduces
this oxide, and renders the alloy much
more perfect, improving its color, its
tenacity, and all It's physical properties.
The grain of its fracture resembles more
that of steel, its elasticity is much aug
mented, and its resistance to pressure
sometimes more than doubled. Its
durability is greater, and, when melted,
it is OF greater fluidity, and fills the
mould in its finest details.

Hints for the Housewife.

A Word on Carvnag.-Unless the carver
is prince in the business, he will some
times cause the table linen in the neigh
borhood of his platter to be soiled from
bits of meat or spatterlngs OF gravy.
To keep his end of the table neat, al
ways spread q very large napkin or
damask towel under the meat platter.
1t may be removed at the end of the
course.
Table Mats.-Straw table mats may be
cleaned by washing them in washing
soda water. Lay them out in the sun,
and, when nearly dry, press them be-
tween cloths or paper.
A Cheap CondenSer.-Coffee pots, pat
ented and unpatented, now before the
public, are almost as numerous as churns
and washing machines, nine tenths of
which. | venture to say, are simply
worthless. All coffee pots that claim
any Improvement in making good coffee,
eliminate in the one principle Of re-
tanning the aroma, or condensing prin-
ciple, during the process Of teaching or
boiling. OF these various ways OF pro

so simple and good as III the use Of the
old. fashioned coffee pot, which will Sc

=" After Many Days."

Persons who profess to have lost all
faith in poor humanity" may take
crumb of comfort from the experience
of Mr.. Hirsch, who is at present
resident OF Louisville, KY. About
seventeen years ago, this gentleman be-
friended young man named Sonnen-
berger 10y advancing him, on his per-
sonal security, goods to the amount OF
$3.50. Sonnenberger was to have gone
on a Southern tour with a peddler's
pack, but instead OF so doing took ship
for California. AT the Isthmus Of
Panama, he met the brother of his
benefactor, from whom he obtained the
loan of "a mule o transport his goods.
Nothing further was heard of him up TO
recent date, when q letter came to
Mr.. Hirsch announcing that his former
protege, after weary pilgrimage over
the world, had at last found fortune in
the diamond mines of South Africa, and
was now DESTROYS of paying the amount
OF his Indebtedness, principal and in
terest. Cases OF this kind, although OF
rare occurrence, have tendency to
show that chain Of untoward events
has often prevented many an honest
fellow from giving practical evidence OF
gratitude for acts of kindness rendered.

The Tricks Of Erie.

The Albany correspondent Of the
New York Times writes to that paper
as follows
There is no doubt that the Erie Ring,
or what remains of it since the death of
Fisk and the abdication of Tweed, are
determined to test their strength with
the present Legislature, the same as
they have with the previous ones, and
will bring the same corrupt appliances
to bear to perpetuate their power. The
brains of the conspiracy still live in the
person of Jay Gould, and, although its
practical manager and its advertising
mountebank are out of the concern, the
diabolism and the intellectual power is
as active as ever. Ii would hardly
seem possible, and yet it is true, that
the Erie managers seriously design to
prevent the repeal of the Infamous
Classification act 10y the Legislature, in
the face of the fact that the Republican
party which has two-thirds majority
here, has repeatedly put itself on record
in favor of the repeal, and no longer ago
than last winter voted unanimously
(Winans excepted) to wipe it Off the
statute book. All sorts of devices are
to be Iesorted to this winter to furnish
plausible excuse to Republicans for
not doing this session what they all in
sisted ought to be done during the last
one. Allusion has already been made
to the scores of remonstrances that
have been sent up here by persons liv-
ing on the line of the road, against any
legislation that will permit the control
OF Erie to go into the hands Of British
monopolists. The bill to allow the
Supervisors of Counties on the line to
elect the directors is another trick in
the interest of the present Ring. In
addition to these more open devices
they have already resorted to the tao
tics so often employed in legislation by
the Tammany Ring, of smuggling into
an apparently innocent and unobjec-
tiOnable bill brief clause or sentence
a single word is often sufficlent-which
will secure their object without attract.
ing attention. Thus, in bill intro.
| duced in the Senate last week, relating
to the holding of real estate by foreign
ers, it has been discovered, among the
| items of real property that foreigners
shall not be allowed to hold, is included
certificates Of stock" in railroads-the
| bill declaring that any property SO held
shall be forfeited to the State. The bill
was handed to Senator of the most
unimpeachabe integrity, with request
that he would introduce it, which he did
without reading, and had it passed the
Committee without detecting the "nig-
ger in the lence," it would have been
printed with the apparent sanction of
his nNme. When the Erie Ring is COM
PEELED to resort to such devices as this
it would seem TO be near its end, and
yet, as before stated, it is resolved to
test its power at Albany once more, and
there are already persons here who are
ready to bet odds that it will triumph
over this Legislature as it did over
the last. In my opinion they will be

An Inebriated Dentist Goes Cunning,
From the Boston Advertiser, Jan. %.

From the Boston Advertiser, JAN %.
The village of Lakeville, Four Cor
ners, was the scene of good deal of ex-
element on Friday evening. DR.. Chas.
W. Leach, well-known dentist resid-
ing in Four Corners, Lakeville, a mem
Der Of the Baptist Church, and of the
Sons of Temperance, had been drinking
very freely for week, until on Friday
he became perfectly crazed with alco-
hol. On that Friday DR.. Leech tod his
family to 90 away into room by them
selves and stay, for either the Lord or
the devil was coming to see him. He
then took his eldest boy, a bright little
fellow about ten years old, into the
front room, where he had double-bar
relied shotgun and stock of ammuni-
ton. The doctor then stationed him
self by an open window, where he lay
in wait for victims. About dusk, Thos.
Bump, who lived in the same house,
came home from work, and while en-.
tering the gate he received q load Of
shot in his breast and neck. John
Capeless, a neighbor, was the next one
to approach the house, and he received
double dose, over 40 shots taking ef-
feet in his neck and chin. BY this time
the neighbors were aroused, and one of
them, William Coombs, started to cap
ture the doctor. Although warned to
be careful, he did not heed the warn
ing, and received charge of shot in
his forearm and another above the ell
bow. Next came Daniel Swift, who re-
ceved several shots in his shoulder and
| arm. Messrs. Coombs, Swift, Bump,
and Andrew Nj. Shockley then made a
rush for the doctor, who went for them
with the but end of the gun, but they
overpowered him, Bump snatching the
gun out of his hand, and breaking it
into splinters. During all this time the
doctors little boy was forced to hand
the powder and shot to his father, who
threatened to kill him if re did not do
it, and once when the little boy handed
| him the shot first he started for him
with an oath, but had his attention at
:racted elsewhere before he could in
.jure him. Saturday morning he was
taken to marlborough, about two
miles distant, where Judge Of Probate
M. III. Wood ordered his commitm
to the Taunton Insane Hospital, Drs.
Comstock and Drake signing certif.
cate that he was insane through the use
of LIQUOR. The wounded men are doing
well, although Bump is in critical
condition, caused in II great measure by
his excitement. When he got into the
room with the doctor it was almost inn
possible to restrain him from killing the
doctor on the spot, and his watchers
were obliged to assure him that the
doctor was not in the house to prevent
him from going for him in the night.
The doctor is about forty years old,
and, although a good dentist, he is said
TO be man of considerable temper,
mixed with not little cruelty, and
hard stories are told of his treatment oil
| his family.

Laura Fairs Suit Against Her Mother.

From the San Francisco Post, Jan. IL.
A few months ago DIR. Trask, one of
Laura ID. Fairs physicians, brought suit
against her TO recover the amount of
his fees. 1t was then discovered that
she had assigned her money in trust to
others, out Of the reach of her credi-
tors. Among these assignees her
mother appeared as trustee for $4,000.
and her daughter appeared for $4,000.
Everything has gone on smoothly since
then, until within few days since,
when Mrs. Fair discovered that her
mother had drawn the interest on the
s., 900 which had been transferred to
the child, and had deposited 1t in the
Odd Fellows Savings Bank. She also
found that her mother intended to con-
vert all to her own use. Last Thurs
day, Mrs. Fair, by the permission of
Sheriff Adams, was granted an inter
view with her mother, and made de-
mand on her that she should return
the $4,000. Her request was refused
point blank, and the more she pleaded
the more decided was the refusal. On
being threatened with lawsuit the
mother flew into a passion, which re-
suited in one of her hysterical fits. Mrs.
Fair left her presence without accom-
plishing anything excepting the secur-
ing the money in her little daughters
name from any interference by her mo-
ther. We understand that Mrs. Fair
will Immediately commence a suit for
the recovery Of the $4,000.
