A DIRTY, GREASY, GRIMy DISH
WASHER ISHERITs $4,000, OO0.-A
few days ago, and there was dish
washer named George Woodruff
employed at the California restau-
rant, on Montgomery -street-a
dirty, greasy, grimy cuss, with
scarcely a cent in his pocket or
hope in the world to-day he is a
millionaire six millionaire, in
fact. One day, while reading a
morning paper, his attention was
attracted to an advertisement head
ed Personal" stating that one of
his name would find it to his adj
vantage to address a certain party
in New York. The name was IA
miliar to him, and he concluded to
answer the advertisement. He did
SO, giving his address, and in due
time received a letter stating that
his uncle had died in New York,
leaving property to the amount of
Sc, 900, 900, which the deceased had
willed to him. He was astounded
and could hardly believe the news
was true until it was confirmed.
Upon its confirmation he cast off
his greasy clothes and forsaking
the sacred preciRetszof the kitch-
en-, he donned a new raiment and
departed for his estate in New
York, richer if not a better man.
There is new dishwasheraatb the

HOW JOHN SPENDS SUNDAY.

- 81
1t is custom among Chinese
house servants to stipulate with
their employers for a portion OF
Sunday, on which day they visit
their countrymen in the Chinese
quarter, talk over news from home,
have their heads shaved, GO
through with their genuflections
and salaaIns in Joss houses, smoke
opium, etc, some of them, closing
up the days performances by
getting rid of their weeks wages
in the Chinese gambling houses,
which are so thickly located
along Dupont street. The side
walks swarm with thess gregarious
beings, whose nature it is to hud
die in flocks on the surface and
burrow in bands beneath. Their
dens are hives of industry on
week days, and rooms reeking
with smoke on Sundays. A visit
or who ventures inside has TO
step over the PROSTATE bodies of
opium smokers, and feel his way
through clouds of smoke, mean
time holding his nose against a
sickening stencil of fetid breath,
decayed fish, in short, a conglom-
Grafton of odors nowhere to be
found outside of a cellar reeking
with the fumes of crowd of Chi
nese. For the sake of the delecta-
BILE pleasure to be found in such
places, John frequently refuses to
take good situations in the coun-
try; like Bridget, he must be in
town, where he can at least once a
week see his cousin" The Chi
nese have hosts of relatives; uncles
and cousins-especially, the latter
ARE counted by the score. They
regard as cousins those several re-
moves further off than a white
man ever thinks it worth his
while to enquire. These cousins
are generally friends, all belong
ing to the same commercial COM
pany, and when they meet on Sun
day the jabbering is energetic be-
yond description. Ali day, and
late into the night, John keeps up
his round of visits among his
cousins, but manages to be on
hand Monday morning, ready for
work, which he generally performs
eheerfully and with fidelity.-San

VITALITY OF LrEsATHE BLUB.
LAWs.-The vitality of lies is
something astounding. There is
the current fiction known as the
Connecticut Blue Lava These
socalled laws are fictitious. They
were written and published as a
satire on the people Of Connect
cut, and were absolutely without
any other foundation than the
brain of the practical joker who
drew them up. The fact that they
never were enacted, and never
were meant to be, has been prov
en- scores of times, and yet week
seldom passes without some aHu-
sion to them by men who either
believe, or affect to believe, them
genuine. a short time since a
noted clergyman Of this city
preached a sermon In which he
quoted from these Blue Laws to
prove the intolerance of the early
settlers of Connecticut. Doubt
less he believes them to be a part
of the Connecticut statute book.
He might better have quoted
Knickerbocker's New York as a
vcracious history, since the latter
does contain little truth, while
the "Blue Laws" are fictitious
from beginning to end.-New
York Times.

was sad stumbling block in the path of
Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn't
bar his way to Truth. We can sympa-
thize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always
besets us when we are asked to believe
anything particularly extraordinary.
Consequently, when we heard, some
eighteen months ago, that physician in
California had compounded, from the
juices and extracts of certain herbs found
there, a medicine that cured almost every
variety of blood disease, we were incred-
ulOus. Since then we have had opportu-

MIR: EDITOR: Nearly every man has
remedy for this disease, and we will give
free our experience. We have tested four
teen horses of our own. And have known
our remedies used in many cases and in all
with quick and sure success. First keep the
horse warm, in a well ventilated stable;
feed on bran and soft food generally, (apples
and vegetables are good, and give him q OF
of Aliens Lung Balsam, or the contents of
large spoon three times day; this will act
just as on humanity. cause the horse to
throw off the nucus and thus get relief. If
his Cough is hard, give occasionally drench
of Davis Pain Killer, of l OF. Pain Killer to
pint of warm water sweetened with mo-
Iasses. Give of this one or two swallows at
time, from the bottle. The first attack of
The disease is Bronchitis, and the drench of
Pain Killer will be of great service to quiet
and heal the Irritation. Battle with Pain
Killer the throat. In Cincinnati, where all
the horses have been sick, we know of no
treatment that has given quicker or more
sure relief. That which is good for man is
also good for the horse in similar affections.
We advise all to try the remedies. They can
be had from most any drug store.

Lime and Salt Mixture.-Prof. John.

Lime and Salt Mixture. John
son recommends for fertilizing purposes
to mix one bushel of salt and two bushels
of dry lime, under cover, and allow the
mixture to decompose gradually, thus
forming an intimate chemical union of
the two materials. For this purpose the
mixture should be made at least six weeks
before use, or, still better, two or three
months, the heap mentioned being turned
over occasionally. This salt and lime
mixture, when applied at the rate of
twenty or thirty bushels per acre, forms
an excellent top dressing for many crops.
1t acts powerfully on the vegetable matter
of soils; fifty-six bushels applied to tur.
nip crop have produced as large crop as
barnyard manure. 1t is also very de-
structive to grubs and insects in the soil
Like salt, it attracts moisture from The air,
and is useful against drouth. Its decom-
posing power is remarkable, and if three
or four bushels of it are mixed with load
of swamp muck, the latter will be reduced
to powder.
