JUST TAKEN HIS BITTERs.-We heard
a seedy looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to brother
soaker that he had "just had his bitters,
but he did not mind taking another
nip" His remark suggested train of
reflection. How was tive asked ourselves,
that the word bitters' had grown to
be n synonym for gin, whiskey, rum,
and other alcoholic stimulaHts, to which
it was applied indiscriminately. Bitters,
we reasoned, suggested the idea of a
healthful tonic, not of 4 poisonous
stimulant something invigorating to
the system, not an alcoholic irritant,
full of fusil oil, producing present in
toxication and ultimate insanity, idiocy,
or premature death. Moreover, our idea
of bitters was totally irreconcilable with
{" gin cocktails" I" rum punches" and
brandy smashes," which, we arc inform
ed, are sweetened with sugar, and rem
dered doubly injurious with essences
colored by means of mineral poison.
This was bitter-sweet with q vengence.
We mentioned this problem to friend.
He solved it by exclaimlng "Why,
don't you know that most Of these bitters
advertised as remedies are only drams in
disguise. Topers know it, if you do
not. Imust make one exception, how
ever" he added, "and that's DR..
WALKER's CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTKRs;
there isn't particle of alcohol or fer
mented liquor in it, and it is the best
vegetable tonic and Alternative in Ameri-
"a. Com.

A VERY BAD CAsE.-A Detroit woman
with the rheumatism consulted a clairvoy.
ant, who went into a trance and wrote
the following startling description of the
case: 81 find your case is one that battles
scill. The disesis complicated; the spine
is mutch diseased; have hurt it by a fall.
The liver is ulsurated, cause you to rails
thick mewcuss. Your he'd sympethizes.
You hav spells of feeling dizzy, and the
scrufula iu the blood, which has destroyed
the vitality, causes some tendency to
dropsy. The throat is affected with Katarr
in the he'd. You can, with proper treat
ment be helped. I hoap this is not too
late to Benefit you; if you want treat
ment 7 will attend you at wonce."

CUsToMs IN GENEvA.-One of the queer
est of Genevese customs is their manner
of conducting their auctions. When a
man bids, wax taper is lit, and his bid
holds good as long as the taper lasts. A
taper is lit for every bidder. Of course
the last and highest bidder has the best
chance. A long-side of the auction should
be placed the other queer custom the
Genevese have, of making the world, as
far as in them lies, to stand still for
couple of hours in the middle of the
day. Nothing can keep your ordinary
citizen of Geneva from throwing every
thing aside at noon, and going to dinner.
The banker locks up between twelve and
two, going on with business in the after
noon. Even the coachman, that you have
taken by the hour, will want oleave you
between twelve and one. The fact is,
there has been nothing on the Genevese
stomach but bread and coffee since the
night before. 1t is unquestionably the
meagreness of their breakfasts which
makes them so prompt to disappear
between twelve and two.

SUMNER HEAT.-The last summer sea-
son has exhibited unusual conditions
throughout the world. The heat has been
excessive through the northern hemi.
sphere, in America, Europe, India, ETC.,
so much so, indeed, as to involve a great
loss Of life directly by sun-stroke, and in
directly by a greatly increased mortality
from other diseases. Excessive rains have
prevailed in various parts of the United
States, while others have suffered from
unusual drought. 1t is many years since
there have been such terrific exhibitions
ofthunder and lightning, many individuals
and large numbers of domestic animals
having been killed, while tornadoes of
great severity have been very prevalent.

to console them under the circumstances.
1t is all very well to say SIC transit gloria
,nundi while all the rest of mankind are
growing old and fading around us, but to
be growing decrepit and worn-out whlle,
our rivals are increasing their strength and
renewing their youth is rather tantallzlnng
and trying to the temper. There is only
one consolation for the double-thread COM
panies; there are enough of them to form
a goodly mess. Like half-dozen or q
dozen old beaux who have each paid
an unsuccessful suit to a .sprlghtly
maiden, but who find themselves
Quietly shelved, while the object of their
alteration walks off with handsome and
strapping young fellow, they can
afford to forget their mutual jealousles and
dislikes in common antipathy and aver
sion of their rival. They can smoke the
pipe of peace and gain a melancholy
glamour of the enjoyment in recountlne
their past hopes and successes, and some
one or two, more daring or wicked than the
rest, may possibly deceive themselves into
the fancy that they shall still enjoy snatches
of confidence and moments of stolen mtl'
macy. But in fair fight they have al
been overcome, and public favor, which
loves nothing like success, mercilessly
snubs them as she passes them by leaning
on the arm of her beloved.

THE GOLD DoMINIoN."--Th steam
ship "Old Dominion" recently completed
at Wilmington, Delaware, for the Old
Dominion Steamship company, arrived at
this port about seven o'clock this morning,
on her first trip from New York. From
the fact that she arrived here ahead OF
time, and was ahead of time at all tine
way points, we infer that her speed is
greater than most vessels of her class,
and that she will never be laggard
in the schedule time of the company.
We had the pleasure of thorough
inspection of the sold Dominion
this morning, and we found her a most
magnificent structure in style and finish.
She is complete from stern to stem. The
accommodations for passengers are unsur,,
passed, and her facilities for taking in and
discharging cargoes of freight emit brace all
the modern improvements. She is SIMPLY
palatial. The saloon on the main deck IS
broad, well ventilated and lighted, and
richly furnished. The state-rooms, for
lis passengers, and the bathrooms, are
all above the main deck, and so arranged as
to secure an agreeable privacy.
The culinary department contains all the
appointments that would be required in
first-class hotel on shore. On the upper
saloon-deck are the smoking-room, barber.
shop, engineers mess-room and officers
quarters. The second-class passengers
have two large cabins in the forward be-
tween decks, one for males and the other
for females. They are well-lighted, ven
tilated, and provided with the usual con-
| veniences.
At the head of the stairway leading from
the main saloon to the upper cabin hangs a
painting possessing considerable interest.
It is the old British seal of Virginia, bear
ing the following motto: "Sigilum Pro-
vinca Nostre Virginia in America" an
Indian kneeling and presenting a tobacco
plant to the King. On either side of the
| seal is view from the wharf at Fortress
Monroe, the famous Rip Raps appearing in
the distance at the left. This painting is
the work of E. j. Sargent, of Wilmington
Delaware, and reflects credit upon the ar
tist.
The sold Dominion" was built by the
Harlan & Hollingsworth company, at VIII
mington, Del, and is Of the following di
mensions Length on water-line, 200 feet
length over all, 263 feet; breadth of beam
moulded, Al feet inches debth to bas'
line, 23 feet 6 inches; debth Of lower hold
u feet draft loaded, IA feet draft light
with coal and water, 8 feet inches ; ton
mage, 1922 55-l00 tons. The engine
built by the same company, is of the clas
known as verticle beam engine, havin
Is inches diameter of cylinder and i fee
stroke of piston.
The officers of the ship are II. A
Bourne, master; George V. Sloat, eng
J neer; w. w. Calwell, purser; J: {
Booth, steward, to whom we are indebte
for courtesies extended this morning. Th
vessel will be open for general inspectio
from three o'clock until six this afternoon
and will leave on her return trip to Me-
9 York at ten o'clock tomorrow morning
. Beside the sold Dominion" the line EN-
braces the "Wyanoke," "lsaac Bell,
"Albemarle," and Niagara" all splendi
t specimens of marine architecture.
