A FIXED FACT IN PHARMACY.-Consld
ing the multitude of diseases, it is amazing
that we live: In view of the countless
remedies for them, it is wonderful that we
die. Unfortunately, however, all the dis
eases are realities; whereas most of the
remedies are humbugS. One exception
to the latter rule demands the recognition
and approval of the press. We refer to
DR.. JOSEPH WALKER's VINEGAR BITTERs
Of the Doctor himself, we know nothing !;
but of his medicine we can speak from OBJ
seryation, for it seems to have found its
way into almost every household. Prob
ably it is more extensively used in this
country, as a family remedy, than any other
preparation, although it has not yet been
before the world three years. Wherever
we go we hear Of it. ard whenever we
hear of it, the comments on its efficacy arc
enthusiastic. We have questioned suffer-
ers from liver complaint, remittent fever,
fever and ague, chronic headache, vertigo,
irregularities of the bowels, Indigestion,
rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, kidney dis.
eases, and affections of the lungs, as to its
effects, and the uniform answer has been,
"H is doing me good" Believing that
"what everybody says must be true" we
have no hesitation in admitting that

A Kentucky Wonder.

A correspondent gives the following
account of q natural bridge up in the
mountains, which, In some of its pro-
portions, at least, exceeds in curious IL
terest the celebrated Virginian geological
contortion of the same nature:
In Carter county, Kentucky, there is
great curiosity called the "Natural
Bridge" which well repays a visit to
those attracted by strange and sublime
scenery. 1t spans stream called Little
Carry, which falls into Little Sandy river.
This bridge is 219 feet in the span, 196
feet high, 12 feet wide, and feet thick
in the middle and 80 feet at the ends,
being arched underneath and level on
the top. One hundred feet below it
there is cascade with a fall of Is feet,
and-tw miles distant there is another
cascade with fall of 200 feet, From
the bottom of the ravine spruce pine
has grown up to the height of four feet
above the bridge, making its entire
height 200 feet.
The sides 6 tho ravine are so rugged
that, were it not for a natural stairway,
a person on the top of the bridge wishing
to get under it would have to walk two
miles. It is interesting to compare the
dimensions of this bridge with those of
the celebrated Natural Bridge of Virginia,
which is 90 feet in span, 80 feet wide, So
feet thick, and 900 feet high. The bridge
is not the only natural wonder of the
neighborhood. It its vicinity are two
streams known as Big Siukey and Little
Sinkey, which emerge from the ground
good-sized streams, and after a course
of about two miles again disappear.
There is also an arteslan we'll which for
merly threw up jet about four feet
high, of the size of common barrel ;
but, having been ,obstructed by stones
and trunks Of trees thrown irto it by
persons desirious of finding out its
depths, it now only plays to the height
of foot above the level of the pool.
Some years ago, in the month OF
August, the writer encountered an enor-
nous rattlesrake crossing the road near
the bridge. In length he just reached
across the road, and in thickness he
seemed to measure in the middle of the
body about as much as an ordinary
cnurn. tied my horse, got some good
rocks and tried my best on him but my
volley only caused him to make the
woods ring with bis rattles. So, not
liking the look Of his eyes, I mounted
nv horse and made flank movement,
leaving my hero in possession Of the
field. 1 told an old citizen what [ had
seen. He said, "signs of that snake
have been found there for twenty years.
I suppose he lived in one of the large
caves around the bridge.

An INJURED WIFE's REVENGE. - In
Louisville. a woman who had been sub
jected to long course OF abuse and out
rage from drunken husband, took the
following method of revenge the other
day He had returned from one of his
usual debauches with more than usual
rum aboard. and throwing himself upon
the bed, fell into a deep drunken sleep.
While thus dead for the time being, a
bright idea struck the wife by which she
might revenge her wrongs and free her
self from bondage. Accordingly she pro-
ceeded to pack her clothes, and having
done this, so as to have them ready for i'm
mediate removal, she took large needle,
and, carefully threading it with large
and strong thread, she approached the
bed where the husband was lying, and
wrApping him up in strong quilt, sat
down and carefully and securely sewed
him up in it, simply leaving his head
out. Having completed all the necessary
arrangements for the successful opera
ton Of her plans, she seized the cane
which had so often been the instrument
of her torture, and began laying it on
the sleeping man with all the force she
could master, stimulated by the memory
Of her own mistrcatment. The man
awoke and begged for mercy and help,
but the louder he begged the harder and
faster she applied the cane, until exhaus'
ted with her labors. She then took her
clothes and left for the house of a neigh
Dor friend, where she remains, despite
the entreaties of her husband, who es-
capped from his situation by the assis'
tance of the neighbors, to return.

The Well that Leaked.

When the General Manager Of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway wa:
pushing that great enterprise southwark

across a veteran Missouri farmer, who,
for fifty years had lived on his frontier
plantation undisturbed, even by wars,
pestilence or famine, so far from disease
and telegraphs was he.
One night the advance men came
upon his farmhouse, when the following
dialogue ensued:

INsIGNIFICANCE OF THE EARTH.-M.
Reclus, a celebrated astronomical writer,
says this earth is the lowest in rank
among heavenly bodies. Were an as
tronomer on some other planet exploring
the 1mmensity Of space, this planet we
inhabit, owing to its small! size, might
readily elude his intelligent view. The
sun is 1,255, 600 times larger and yet,
that enormous mass is only speck-a
mere point, which seems lost amid
eighteen millions of stars which are dis,
coverable by Instruments in the Milky

PRESIDENT GRANTS FARM.

A correspondent OF the New York
Worid,-under instructions to spy
out whichever could be used for poll
teal purposes--v isitek the old Dent
farm, (Which was President Grants
old homestead, and is now his stock
farm) near st. Louis, one day last
week. What the correspondent
found out didn't prove profitable to
the World. ....." 1855
He reports the farm well kept, the
buildings exceedingly plain and
modest, and almost precisely like
they were when Mrs. Grant was a
girl, the stock consisted of thirty five
blooded cattle, twenty three horses
and brood mares, and some hogs and
sheep, all selected with great good
judgement, and of forms to delight
a lover of fine animals, and all of
them valuable, AS a stock farmer,
no thinks the President a distin-
guished success-one of the best in
the country-and evidently as supe.
rior to Greeley as farmer as he is
as a General. The correspondent,
of course, pumped" Mr.. Elrod, su-
perintendent of the farm vigorously,
so draw cut a point against the Pres
ident, if possible. But all the infor-
nation he got from the honest keep.
er was to President Grants credit.
The following is specimen of the
'spumping" process and its result:
One of the party remarked in
laughing way that a great many
Jokes were going around regarding
Grants presents, and asked how
much of the stald had been given
him.
az know there are lots of stories
about that" said the faithful super
intendent, "but I'll tell you honestly,
gentlemen, there amt a critter of
any sort on this farm that was given
to Gen. Grant, except one old mare.
She was one of the carriage horses
given to him by the Mexican Minis
ter, Romero. One of the pair died,
and the General sent the other to his
farm to be taken care of, so that's all
there is bout Grant stalking his farm
with gifts. He has bought and payed
for all he has got, and (another sly
wink he can pay for lots more if he
wants 'em."
The World having been to the
pense of sending out it correspond
ent, prints his letter, though it tells
in the Presidents favor, and helps
reftte some of the ISLANDERS which the
World itself has helped to circulate
about President Grants taking
gifts.
