The Peoples Stamp of Value.-The Govern ment endorsement which legalizes the sale of PLAN PATTON BITTERs, is not the only stamp affixed to that famous VEGETABLE TONIC. It bears in addition to that official sanction, the STILL MORE VALUABLE STAMP OF PUBLIC EVAPORATION. This inestimable voucher of it's properties as TONIC, CORRECT I'VE and ALTER TIVE, is of much earlier date than the Governmt nt credential; for millions of sick persons had pronounced 1t the GRAND SPECIFIC OF THE AGE long before Congress thought of taxing proprietary medicines. It is unnecessary to repeat

The old lady told him that all such terms as "by golly," 6 by jingo," "by thunder" &c.,, were only little paths, and but little better than other profanities.

AFTER-DINNER NAPs.-Many persons, particularly the middle-aged and elderly, allow themselves this real indulgence; and the custom, if not carried to excess, is by many medical men considered beneficial rather than otherwise, as, by keeping the body in state of quietude, digestion is promoted and assisted. In Southern countries, the midday sleep, termed the siesta, is almost universally taken, and wonderfully refreshes the frame enervated and weakened by the intense heat. It is, however, recom- mended tha. such sleep be not indnlged in to too great length, as persons in- variably find such prolonged slumbers in the daytime causes them to wake dull, irritable and unrefreshed; while most have experienced, on having been acci- dentally reused up, few minutes after absolute forgetfulness, sensation of lightness and renewed vigor, unattended by peevishness or the least desire to sleep again. Medical men. in sanction ing the indulgence, particularly advise that it be taken in reclining pos ure, but by no means lying horizontally, the stomach in the latter position, pressing on the intestines and causing the blood to be impelled to the head. Corpulent persons and those who have tendency to apoplexy, should be particularly mindful of this point.

The Heavens Ablaze.

The sun had hardly set, says New York paper, when the soft peculiar light of the aurora borealf began to manifest itself in the northern part of the sky. At this period, and up to 1O9 o'clock, itpre- sented the appearance of a soft luminous cloud, with a just perceptible green tinge. This gradually increased in size until it filled the entire hemisphere from west to east. The luminous rays grew also brighter, but it was not until 1Oa o'clock that anything special about it was observed, although its extent was indeed something unparalleled. At that hour pencils of light began to shoot from the zenith, the place from which they darSed being surrounded by faint clouds of electric light, which were extremely beautiful, but so very slight that the quite small stars could be seen through them. The pale green above the hori zon now grew stronger and stronger until it was of deep emerald hue of a purity and splendor impossible to de-
 scribe. This formed an immense arch, not perfect in confguration, but broken and wavering. Above this there was a space of clear sky, which seemed qNite dark from contrast, and above this there WdS duOUuS& clucId1O AObC OA t' ooAAG Athl less pronounced color. The rays of light became now unusually bright and appa- rently of pure white, though this may have been by contrast. They were at first narrow, but quickly they became broad bands, reaching from the zenith clear down to the emerald zones. And now above these zones the sky became a pale roseate color, which deepened mo- mentarily until it was blood red. Then the broad bands became tinged with these colors and had the appearance of immense scarves, but they did not long remain, for they quickly disappeared, and were replaced by vivid pencils oi light which came and went quicker than the eye could follow. Along these pen cils, which were divided from each other by deep corresponding shadows, the light seemed to wander up and down in tremulous waves with quick sort of ebh and flow. This magnificent phantasma
 goria lasted some twenty minutes, and entirely ceased by II o'clock.

THE TRUE ROAD TO SUCCESS. value of advertising has been time and again subject of remark. The great business interests that have been built up among us within the last quarter of century owe their existence in great measure, to liberal, and yet judicious use of advertising through the columns of the newspaper. Take, for instance the financial houses in the lower part of town that have made it point to use the newspaper as Q medium of informa- tion to the public of their business, and whose names are familiar to every news paper reader. People seeking railroad investments recur as naturally to the name as they would to Delmonico's in case they wanted a dinner The forego- ing show indisputably that men who have a due appreciation of printers ink inva- riably lead the van in the race for wealth and high commercial position. Had these eminent firms been content to lo business in the old hole and corner style of the musty merchants of half cen tury ago, they would have sunk to the level of mere exchange brokers, and vast banking and railroad enterprises would have been projected by men more in accord with the journalistic spirit of the age.-Ne,c Fork Paper.

THE AMERICAN PARCEL PosT.-By the new postal law which came into opera tion on the 1st of July packages of dry goods, hardware, drugs (except liquid drugs) not exceeding twelve ounces in weight can be mailed to any part of the United States at charge of 2 cents for each two ounces or fraction of two ounces. Much time and money will be saved by this arrangement. The express companies demand at least 40 cents for the transportation of package, how ever small, for any distance. The Post office authorities, on the other hand, will forward twelve ounce package to San Francisco for twelve cents. For in- stancej pair of boots, if neither boot weighs more than the specified twelve ounces, may be wrapped up in two sep arate parcels, and sent across the conti nent for A cents; whereas, under the old plan the transportation of goods of this description would have cost almost more money than they were worth. Up to the present time the post office has lost money by the new system, owing to the fact that the general public has not taken advantage of it to such an extent as to make it remunerative. But it is expected that when the advantages of the system are thorougly appreciated the scheme will prove as profitable to the Government as it is beneficial to the public,

ANIMALS IN CALFORNIA.-I found that it is one of the advantages of the farmers here, says a California Valley correspondent, that they can pasture horses and cattle on the public and ra1l- road lands near them which are unoccu- pied. A farmer stakes out his few cat tie or horses during the Winter, Spring and Summer, and they get abundant food from the pastures. Even working cattle are fed here without grain; drove d hundred miles with pair of horses which did not in the whole distance re- ceive an ounce of barley; when we camp
 ed at night, the horses were staked out in the open plain; they ate themselves 'un during the night, and kept fat. Even hogs are turned adrift on the plain.
 They make their way to the shore of Tulare Lake, where they spend the sum- mer hunting roots and shell-fish among the tule reeds; when the acorns ripen they return to the oak groves about Vi salia to feed on the mast, and they keep fat all the time. Each farmer marks his own, and toward. winter hunts them. By the way, it is told here that two Pikes, father and son, and neighbors, usually mark their hogs together in the Spring. The father cuts off one piece of his hogs tails, and the sons mark is to cut off two pieces. Black hogs seem to do better here than the white, and Chester Whites, which have been tried, have given place to the Essex, of which saw numbers of fine specimens. Among the younger cattle on the plains there is evidence of improved blood, and some fine Devon Bulls are kept in the country, I was told; but the immense horns and savage front, which make the Texas cattle disagreeable objects, are still common here. All the cattle are fat and everywhere we see them contented- ly lying down, in the middle of the day, which is 8 sign that feed is abundant.
