THE SKEPTfcAL CoNvIScED. --Eyery ad-
vance in Medicine, every new remedy has en-
countered an opposition, which 10 the test of
truth. Galen and Jenner only were believed
when they had proved their discoveries against
opposition. But men are observing, and ben
eiits always make believers. No increduty
can stand the silent argument of good results.
When DIR. Walker proclaimed that he had
produced from the medicinal herbs of Califor-
mia an Elixir that would regenerate the sink
ing system and cure diseases not organic, the
incredulous shook their heads. Yet his VIM
EGAR BITTERs is now the Standard Restora-
tive of the Western World. The truth could
not be resisted. Under the operation of the
new remedy, Dyspeptics regained their health,
appetite and strength, the Bilious and Con-
stipated were relieved of every distressing
symptom; the COnsumptve and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered Intermittent and Remit
tent Fevers were broken up; the taint of
Scrofula was eradicated Who could gain
say facts like these? Not even the Faculty.
Skepticism WIS routed. All doubts as to the
claims of the Bitters to the first place in the
first rank of modern medicines were silenced,
and this wonderful preparation is to-day the
most popular Tonic, Alternative, and Blood
Depurent ever advertised in America. In
common with other journalists, we are free to
add our testimony to this remedy. 1t is a
domestic medicine, and no household should
be without it,

Peter Cooper.

The Hon. Peter Cooper although in
the eighty-second year of his age, is ac-
lively engaged every day in the con-
struction of small vessel upon an i'm
proved plan. He is actually putting in
to practical operation theory of his
own for the promotion of speed which
took possession of his brain more than
fifty years ago. He is certainly one of
the most energetic and remarkable men
of his years existing among us.
He has invented or been party to
more than sixty labor-saving inventions
during his most eventful career, and
even at this late hour of his life he finds
time to examine into every important
invention which is brought to his notice,
and whenever he is impressed with the
actual importance and benefit of such to
the general world he invariably lends a
helping hand in the matter of its intro
duction. Aside from all this he attends
regularly to his glue manufactory, and
individually to his many charities No
man amongst us has done more real
good in this way than he. The Cooper
Institute, growing larger and larger
in its usefulness day by day, will be a
more lasting monument to learning and
general progress than has been endowed
by all the Astors, Stewarts, and men of
wealth in our midst.-N Y. CitizeR.

THE SECRET OF CAPTIvATIoN,-Features
of Greclan mould, wel-turned neck and
beautifully rounded arms, are no doubt very
nice things TO have, and ladies who possess
these charms have reason to be thankful 10
Mother Nature yet, after all, the most capti-
waiting OF all womanly charms is pure, fresh
aud brilliant complexion. This superlatve
fascination any lady may secure by using HA-
CANS MAGSoLIA BALM, the standard beauli-
Tying preparation of the presant age 1t diff
ers from all ordinary cosmetics in three most
essential particulars, inasmuch as it contains
no injurious ingredients, does not contract or
shrivel the skin as all the astringent "blooms,"
" lotions" and " powders" eventually do, but
produces a lasting lovelness by improving the
health of the skin. Under its operation the
texture ofthe epidermis becomes finer, and the
surface soft as velvet and smooth us porcelain.
Features cannot be changed, but compilations
can, and it is quite certain that a lady with no
other charm than a fresh and rosy complex
ion, will attract more admiration in company
than her neighbor with classic face but sal
low skin

Earth Mounds,

They are numerous in this country
from the forty fifth degree of north lat
itude to the Gulf of Mexico, of various
sizes and shapes. Indians have no ira
ditions in regard to those who construct
ed them. 1t is clear, therefore, that they
existed as they now appear when the In
dians arrived on the American CONT
nent. ''r
When Julius Caesar invaded England,
he found extensive displays of mounds,
which he described as b'teriOres Britania,
which he'supposed had been constructed
by aboriginal population ages upon
ages before. The round ones were con-
sidered the creations of the Bely@, who
were intruders from the continent.
Many of those ancient tumuli or bar
rows are in excellent preservation at
this day, particularly in South Willis and
Dorset. English antiquai'ians are be-
ginning to investigate them with more
interest. than they have heretofore re-
ceived, with an expectation of gaining
some light respecting the remote history
of England before any form of ciyiliza-
ton had been introduced, y ''@,'- '''''

SUCCESSFUL EDIToRs.-An English
writer says A good editor, or compe-
tent newspaper CONDUCTOR islike a gem
eral or poet, born, not made. sExer-
else and experience give facility. but the
qualification is innate, or it is never
manifested. On the London daily pa
pers all the great historians, noyelists,
poets, essayists, and writers of travels,
have been tried and nearly every one
has failed. "I cam" said the late editor
of the London Times, find any num-
Der of men of genius to write for me,
but very seldom one man of common
sense" Nearly all successful editors are
of this description. A good editor sell
don writes much for his paper he
reads, judges, selects, dictates, alters and
combines, and to do.an this well he has
but little time for composition. no
write for paper is one thing, to edit a
paper is another. I'D. fF7 EE RI

FARM PoULTRY.-Farmers frequent
ly neglect their fowls, not so much from
conviction that they don't pay as be-
cause there are SO many other things to
attend to. Yet oftentimes the labor
spent ON more pretentious affairs is not
as profitable as that devoted to poultry.
OF course much depends on location and
the market. A flock of fowls such as is
usual on farms, will in most situations,
if rightfully managed, yield more in
value annually (either gross or net than
good COW. But no farmer expects
that a COW can be tended year and her
fodder raised, cut, and housed, without
considerable work. Fowls, if allowed
their freedom, may be managed with
much less labor than when they are
yarded, but in any case great deal of
time must be spent in raising chickens
in sufficient numbers to keep the ranks
of the laying stock always mainly filled
with birds not old, which is indispens-
able to success. 1t should be remember
ed that eggs are more profitable than
table fowls, except in case of early
chickens. "a

1t seems that to somo peculiarly con-
stituted minds death is by no means SO
terrible aseven the most trifing of earth
ly troubles. A German in Philadelphia
the other day upset lamp in saloon
and caused some inconsiderable damage,
and was so troubled by the mischief he
had done and the fear of arrest, that he
incontincntly threw himself into a well
and was drowned. There is something
very strange in the various motives and
causes of suicide, IL philosophy could but
find it out.

BREAKING UP OF GRASS LANDs.-A
piece of grass land that will cut two
tons of hay per acre, or which will fur
nish an equivalent in pasture, cannot be
proitably broken up, especially if the
land is inclined to be rough or wet.
Many fields which are now covered with
coarse herbage, might by draining and
manuring become covered with valuable
and nutritious grasses, and where labor
is scarce and high this course is far pre-
ferable to putting such land under the
plow. Draining is often all that is need
ed to produce the change sometimes a
judicious application of artificial man
ures might be profitably used.

IMPROVEMENT OF OVERLOOKED
LANDs.-m California there are tracts
of land aleng the rivers which are occa-
sionally submerged, the soil of which
consists of exceedingly rich alluvial de-
posits. They are called "Tule" lands.
A company of capitalists are engaged in
reclaiming these lands and bringing
them into cultivation by means of sys-
tenn of dykes or embankments. When
it is remembered that this description of
lands all over the country is of almost
inexhaustible fertility, it is seen how i'm
portant it is that they should be made
useful instead of remaining, as they Of
ten are, hot-beds of disease.
