Celestial Empire admits of queer doses.
Among recent shipments, the custom
house officer found coiled snake about
four feet long, fanged, and with hideous
head scales like q crest. How these an
imals are taken by patients of Chinese
doctors is unknown. One would be a
fair dose, if disguised in q coating of
sugar. They may be taken in sections,
three times day, as they are dessieated,
or they may be boiled down or pulver-
lied, and taken in powders or rolled into
pills. Lizards are in nearly as great
demand as the snakes. These, also. are
dried, and sent over in packages, to-
gether with hundreds of other loath-
some things, all of which are consigned
to the Chinese physicians, and used by
them in their practice.

AS Mr.. Beecher was standing in front
of the Twin Mountain House the other
day, dressed in anything but ministerial
style, a dandy-like gentleman drove up
and asked if he would take his horses to
the stable. Beecher replied that he
would, and politely helped the ladies
from the carriage, took the profferred
twenty-five cents, and drove to the
stable. The story was soon in every
bOdy's mouth, and it is unnecessary to
say that the gentleman left that night.

How Woman Suffrage Works In
uu.rnx,,inO

Tn 1870 a fierce preliminary struggle for
CONGRESSIONAL nomination eliminated in a
conyention at the Territorial capital. Bitter
racr;minations, sandwiched between blows
and personal alterations, after the most APP
proved Eastern fashion, enliyened the scene;
and while chaos was impending, the door
keeper announced that consideral force of
the lately downtrodden, but now enfran-
chised sex demanded admission. They were
at once provided with front seats in the polit-
ical synagogue, and from that moment the
men who had been rudely belligerent became
calm, and contented themselves thereafter
with an interchange of decent philippe, un-
accompanied with blows. But for female in
fiuence, the lives of several estimable pot
house politicians might have been sacrificed
on the altar patriotism. The first election
under the new law occurred shortly afterward,
and the women very generally deposited their
ballots, which in this instance executed the
free woman's will as lightnings do the will of
God
10 venerable matron of more than four
score summers belogs the honor of being the

An aisleway was opened through the

Polling booths were located near door or

voters to deposit their ballots while passing
along the sidewalk. At an early hour the
"lately downtroddeu" debouched from their
several homes, and with smiling faces wend-
ed their cheerful way toward the place
where, thanks to a Legislature unanimously
Democratic, they could indulge the most sa-
cred right of American free men and women,
The streets were gay with brilliant costumes
coaches and carriages freighted with fair SOW

stricken mother, through whose daily toll
her children were supported, the lady of
wealth who had been taxed without her con-
sent, and the fashionable matron who enjoy
ed neither poverty nor riches, all expressed
their views of political economy in practi-
cal manner at the ballot-box, thereby pre-
senting touching illustration of perfect

IlNHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
tanning 100 feet of heating surface, built upon
new principle, namely that Of stopping the vertical
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon
tat dtaphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
rangement there is maintained three Temperatures of
water. ~ -
rhe smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tuoes In the upper compartment, then descend and
return through the tubes in the second Compartment
nence again descending they pass through the tubes
IN the third compartment. By this operation the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack, chimney come in con-
water. "
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for 100 indicated horse
power
We will guarantee that this boiler will sbew 30
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than amy boiler of the heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do So long as it is
used, and we will back guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts that while running this
boilerwith coal or wood the sparks are neutra1zed
ana none have ever left the smOke-stack or chimney
which in itself is most valuable advantage, nevci
before realized. -
Contning ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us
a call.
