The Newfoundland Disaster.

The story published, that forty-one yes,
sells of the Newfoundland sailing fleet had
been destroyed, with a loss of three thou
sand lives, it Is hoped will prove q hoax,
founded probably on the actual loss OF
the brig Huntsman and several other YES
sells. 1t is likely, however, that in time
we shall hear of great suffering and con-
siderable loss among the fishermen en-
gagged in sealing. The season has been
very stormy, with tremendous easterly
winds, and the vessels engaged in the
fishery, which usually are at home by the
middle of March, have been late in re-
turning. There are about five hundred
vessels engaged in the seal fisheries under
Newfoundland direction, mostly bark or
ship-rigged steamers and small brigantines
and briggs. These are usually crowded,
the smallest craft carrying from twenty
to fifty men, and the steamers carrying
crews numbering from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred-while on their re-
turn voyage they are simply overloaded.
The steamers employed in these fisheries
are all first-class boats, Clyde built, and
immensely strong. They cost from GA
600 to 100000 sterling each. Many Eng
fish and Scotch merchants who have in,
vested their money in these fisheries have
made great profits, as the the large YES
sells sometimes bring home twenty thou
sand seal skins, which sell readily at from
five to seven shillings each. The fishing
grounds are about two hundred miles
from Newfoundland. This year great
fields OF ice have been driven upon the
Newfoundland shores, bringing with them
such numbers of seals that the homo pop
ulation, men, women, and children, were
able to kill hundreds of them. The great
danger which the seal fishermen encoun-
ter on their voyages is that of being crush
ed in moving fields of ice.

Some Signs Of tie Times.

The present age is fraught with ideas,
both political and social, that are some
what startling to the. careful observer,
and much more so to person not of this
progressive generation. For instance,
witness the following -
"Men are not as polite now as they
we're in my day." remarked an old
gentleman, as he glanced at several ladies
who were standing in q street car, while
a number of men occupied seats.
"Why, sir ?" we took the liberty to
ask.
Because" he replied, "they would
never have been SO ungallant as to allow
ladies to stand in this manner, while
they unblushingly remained seated
never %
1t is a positive fact that men do not treat
women with the same pollteness and re-
spect that they did in days gone by,
They do not pay that tender reverence
to womanhood which it was their wont
to pay. Are not women partly to blame
for this falling off in mems attentions :?
l think so. And why =? is the question
that will be asked. Because nowadays,
men come in contact with a great number
of women who are lacking in those sweet,
essential qualities which men-no matter
how gross and perverted theirminds may
be--so much admire; viz modesty, sim
plicity and amiability. Many young
ladies do not think anything of greeting
one in sort of Chow are you. Jack, old
boy" style. Their ideas as regards good
and respectful behavior are, indeed very
vague, The vocabulary OF their remarks
very frequently includes such slang
phrases as, "You know how it is your
SELF" and. elbow is that for high ?"
Decidedly cultivated and pretty obserya'
tions for young ladies to make, though
they might allow their school boy
brothers to have the free and sole Use Of
them, without lessening the charm Of
their conversation.
The manner in which some young
ladies use adjectives is astounding. For
instance, everything is "Perfectly grand"
Perfectly gorgeous !" And, when they
refer to a young man who is any way at
tractive, the manner in which they speak
of him is in this wise He's perfectly
splendid " " He's dear little fellow y
He's perfectly sweet p "He's just as
nice as he can be - etc, etc. And make
such remarks unblushingly, in the pre-,
sence Of gentlemen, too.
| think if girls did not so often forget
their womanhood, men would more often
remember it.

Hiring q Clerk.

The following is not n new story but
it is true one, and will bear repeating,
we think:
Years ago, into a wholesale grocery
store in Boston walked a tall, muscular
looking man, evidently fresh conner
from some lakewood town in Maine or
New Hampshire. Accosting the first
person he met, who happened to be the
merchant himself, he Asked
"You don't want to hire man in
your store, do you?"
"Well," said the merchant, "I don't
know; what can you do?"
"Do?" said the man; 81 rather guess
| can turn my hand TO almost anything.
What do you want done?"
" Well--if ! was to hire man, it
would be one that could lift we'll, strong
why fellow; one, for instance, that could
shoulder q sack of coffee like that yon-
der, and carry it across the store aHd
never lay it down"
"There now, capt'in," said the coun-
tryman, chats just me. l can lift any
thing 1 hitch to; you can't suit me
better, What will you give a man that
can suit you?"
"I'll tell YOU" said the merchant, eff
you will shoulder that sack of coffee ana
carry it across the store twice and never
lay it down, L will hire you for year at
800 per month";"
"Done," said the stranger; aud by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around, and we're waiting to
join in the laugh against the man, who,
walking up to the sack, threw it across
his shoulder with perfect case, as it was
not extremely heavy, and walking with
it twice across the store went quietly TO
large hook which was fastened 10 the
wall, and hanging it up, turned to the
merchant and said
"There now, it may hang there till
doomsday; I shan't never lay it down,
What shall go about, mister? Just
give me plenty to do and a 500 per
month, and its Ill right"
The clerks broke into laugh, and the
merchant discomftted yet satisfied, kept
to his agreement; and to-day, the green
countrymen is the senior partner in the
firm, and worth million dollars.

THE CASHMERE GoAT.-A California
correspondent says the Cashmere goat
of California is very healthy, and as the
wool is fine, more lustrous and longer
than that of the sheep, and commands
twice as much per pound in the market,
and the fleece is about as heavy, hopes
are entertained that it will contribute
much to the wealth Of the State. 1t is
similar in size, form and general appear
ance to the common goat-save that the
color is white and the hair, instead of
being coarse and short, is fine and from
four to eight inches long. The wool,
taking the desirable qualities of length,
fneness, softness TO receive delicate dyes
together, is superior to any other, and
commands far higher price, not having
been less in the United States at any
time than one dollar per pound, and
sometimes having been sixteen dollars.
The expense Of obtaining the goats is
great, single one costing from one
hundred and fifty dollars to one thousand
dollars

THE GREAT SEAL OF THE UNITED
STATES. -Apropos Of the discussion OF
the proposed "religious amendment to
the Constitution of the United States, y
there is an interesting confirmation OF
the foresight and religious feeling of the
founders Of the Government in the in
scription and devices upon the reverse
of the great seal of the United States.
Within an equilateral triangle the we'll
known symbol of Deity is the All-Seeing
Eye. Over it are the words "Annwi,
CPptiS," i. e., He assents to our under
takings." Underneath is the legend,
"NOUuS Ord0 Steculorum,' 1. e., 1.-The
new order of the ages" Between these
inscriptions is the date MDCCLXXVI,
The reader may find an engraving and a
full account of this seal in Lossings
Pictorial Fteld-Booh Of the ReUolntiOn.
Read in the light of the century which
has nearly passed since its adoption in
that ever memorable year, how prophetic
are its legends, and how ceaseless has
been the watchful care of that unsleeping
eye, which has approved our great I'M
dertaklng, in the beginning of this new
order of things If the fathers of our
Republic did not insert the name Of God
in the Constitution, they surely did not
forget Him in the great seal which legal
izgs all its public acts.

FRUITS AND BERRIES. Fruits and berries
at this season of the year are not only
precious luxuries, but great promoters of
health They act upon the liver, pro
noting that secretion naturally which
many are in the habit of obtaining only
by the means of artificial medicines.
They thus avert many disease resulting
from torpid condition Of the liver. An
other way in which they act beneficially
is in the mechanial effect their little seeds
produce in passing through the bowels,
very much the same as the watering of
an irritated eye-ball when any hard sub
stance touches that delicate organ, and
this water, by dissolving the hardened
contents Of constipated bowels, keeps
them in healthier state than any pill or
purgative invented by the apothecary.
There can be no doubt that in the sum
mer and fall seasons people who live
mainly on fruits and berries and coarse
bread can almost ensure exemption from
sickness, while those who eat heartily of
solid meats and vegetables two or three
times day are liable to all the diseases
that flesh is heir to.

The EIGHr-HoUR TRUCE.-The surren-
der of employers to.the eight hour strike,
says the New York Journal Of Commerce,
is but a hollow and short-lived truce.
They have all given in under protest,
written or oral, and with no expectation
that the arrangement will last long.
Those who have yielded most submissive
ly have frankly told their hands that the
new terms are only an experiment, and
that it would be sure to fail (; and that
next fall or winter, or whenever slack
work and hard times come, the concession
would have to be reconsidered. The
strikers themselves begin to realize this,
and are already anxious for the future.
The success of the strike, so far as it has
been success, has depended wholly on
the present advantage the men enjoy.
Building work, and work of many other
kinds, is In good demand at this particu-
lar season and the employers, being
taken by surprise, and not being able to
stand loss from suspension of their
business, have been forced to surrender.
1t is q fair question whether they will
not all lose money by the abridgement
of the labor period and the increase in
wages but had they suspended, they
would undoubtedly have lost more. The
moment tight pinch comes there will
be a perfect certainty Of large loss by
keeping the shops open, and of less loss
by closing them, and the latter will be
done unless the workmen will stand a
frightening of hours or decrease of
wages. Then it will be the employers
turn to make those peremptory demands
which at present emanate only from the
hands at the instigation of the union.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.-Few
people realize what health is worth I'M
til they lose it. 1t is easier to prevent
disease than to cure Tit. The character
of our farming is undergoing great
changes. We are using more machinery
keeping better stock, raising choicer va.
rieties of fruits, grains, potatoes, roots,
and grasses are buying more or making
better manure. Now, all this requires
brains. We are aware that there is a
great deal of nonsense written on this
subject. But it is undoubtedly fact
that man cannot long use his brain as
IN intelligent, enterprising American
farmer is now compelled to do, and work
and worry at the same time, without
abundance of nutritious food. If he I'M
dertakes to do it on fat pork, potatoes,
bread and cake, his health will certainly
give way. The American farmer Of to-
day needs and must have more fresh
meat. Better patronize the butcher than
the doctor better sell fewer eggs and
buy less medicine.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF AN AERoNAUT.-
Prof. Atkins, who was attached to cir
Gus which exhibited at Decatur, Ala,
assembled with hot.air balloon during
the afternoon, when the balloon became
detached from the windlass fixing its
altitude, and assembled to the height OF
half mile, and then rapidly descended
into the Tennessee River. Atkins sue
ceeded in getting out of the basket after
desperate effort, having got entangled
in the ropes, and attempted to swim
ashore. Some fishermen in canoe went
to his assistance, but failed to rescue
him. Prof. Atkins seems to have had n
presentment of misfortune, he having
remarked as the balloon started "This

fake Care OF the liver.

A liver secretes each day about two
pounds of bile, which contains o great
amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid
or congested, it fails to eliminate this
vast amount of noxious substance, which
therefore remains to poison the blood
and be conveyed to every part of the
system What must be the condition of
the blood when it is receiving and re-
tanning each day two pounds of poison !?
Nature tries to work off this poison
through other channels and organs, the
kidneys, lungs, skin, etc; but these or
gans become overtaXed in performing
this labor, in addition to their natural
functions, and can not long withstand
the pressure, but become variously dis.
eased.
The brain, which is the great centre of
vitality, is unduly stimulated by the I'M
healthy blood which passes to it from
the heart, and it fails to perform its Office
BEAUTIFULLY. Hence the symptoms of
bile poisoning, which are duIlness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment OF memory, dizzy,
sleepy or nervous feelings, gloomy fore
bodings, and irritability OF temper.
The perspiration becomes so irritating
and poisonous that in connection with
the vitiated blood, it produces discolcred
brown spots, pimplcs, blotches, and
other oruptions, sores, boils, carbunclcs,
and scrofulous humors- The stomach,
bowels, and other organs, can not escape
becoming affected sooner or later, and
costivencss, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia,
diarrh9a, and many other forms of
chronic disease, are among the necessary
results.
How important, then, that the closest
attention should be paid to the condition
of the important organ named.
