! PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIM jELP.-If
a r&4"Oad director were lashcd to every
locomotive, there would be fewer railroad
accidents, and if doctors had to take their
own physic before administeringit to their
patients, fewer people would be poisoned.
DR.. Joseph Walker, of California, took
this course when he first compounded the
famous Vinegar Bitters which now rank
az in inestimablc household remedy in all
parts of the United States He healed
himself with this specific before he offered
it to the world. He introduced it with q
simple statement OF the manner in which
he had discovered its vegetable ingredi-
cnts and been cared, while wandering,
sick and poor, among the California tribes.
lie stated what the preparation had done
for himself and few sufferers from dys-
pepsia, bliousness, rheumatism, lung dis
eases, and many other prevalent disorders,
many believed him, tried the new restor-
alive and were more than satisfied with
the results In this way the sale of the
Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention
the fact as an evidence that in this Ege of
intelligence and inquiry, nothing that is
really valuable to mankind can prove a
pecuniary tailure-eyen though it may
lack tie help of capital and have to fight
its way against powerful opposing inter
ests. Within two or three months after
its introduction, the article became self
supporting, and it now yields q magnif-
cent annual revenue Conn.,

A STRANGE REALIZATION.
A YOnng Lady's Dream.

The jamestown, N. Y, Journal says -
day last, was betrothed to young lady of
this town and was to have been married in
about two months. On Friday, when the
train passed here on its way West, the
young lady saw him and had some CONVEX
sation with him, and that evening was in
unusually light spirits. The next morning
ut the breakfast table her appearance was
so much the reverse of the evening pre-
vious that it attracted the attention of her
mother, who asked her the cause of her
apparent trouble. The young lady there
upon related to her mother that she had
dreamed that her lover had fallen under
the cars and had been so seriously injured
that he died in about two hours. Size told
the circumstances she had seen in her
dream how he had fallen and the car-wheels
had terribly crushed and mangled his left
leg and his left arm, and that he had lived
two hours. Her story was generally dis
credited by her mother, who endeavored
to persuade her that there was nothing in
dream, but to no purpose-she could not
drive it from her mind.
About noon sister of the young man
who had met so terrible death, came to the
house of the young lady and said she
had bad news for her. She then related
the circumstances of her brothers. death,
corresponding in detail with the dream as
told by the young lady some hours before.
Never before has such remarkable case
of premonition come under our personal
knowledge, and all the circumstances can
be vouched for.

A correspondent of the Richmond Wing,
writing from Buckingham, G. H., describes
a great "pigeon roost' in that vicinity
The pigeon roost on the "Furnace Lands"
in this county, is the resort of the sports,
who find nightly each tree and bush cover
cd with birds. The area of the roost is four
square miles, and to one who never saw
sight of this kind it is truly amazing
From morn until night the air is darkened
with countless thousands Of the birds fly
ing from all directions (south Of the rivcr)
toward the roost.
'Tis significant fact that they never
cross the James The old hunters say that
they are afraid of losing their wounded by
drowning, as the wounded ones often fall
from the flock during the day. There is a
grandeur indescribable in the mournful
sound of rushing wings as the trackless ar
mics, marshaled in the "viewless wind, |"
come sweeping to their bivouac. But, alas
for the poor creatures, their rest is not left
undisturbed, for the unfeathered bipeds,
envious of their wings, gather nightly
about the forest camp and never cease their
murderous work till each one has secured a
pigeon pie for his next day dinner.
But the evening sight is not to be COM
pared to that of the morning, when the
pigeons are leaving the roost. Rising up
ward from the bushes like columns of blue
smoke, the rays of the morning sun paint
them with rainbow tints, and canopy
overshadows the woods like the sulphurous
clouds above battle field. Wheeling in
great divisions in the air, they divide
each army to its leader, and the heavens
grow lighter as they disappear to refill their
craws with acorns. The roaring Of their
wings can be heard for miles.

Wedding Tours.

"One of our exchanges in the article on
the honeymoon" tries to persuade young
married people that is better for them to
stay quietly at home at such an interesting
period of their existance, and not go wand
cring off on exhibition. Most people will
agree with the writer; but ten to one if
he is single man and ever gets married
he will do just as the others do. Why a
wedding tour should be considered the cor
rect thing is one of those conumdrums
9 which, as Dundreary says, "no fellow can
find out" If our brides could be persuad-
ed to forego the blessed privilege Of leading
their prizes around with ribbon, we would
recommend, for change, the singular
custom that prevails at Nassau, New Prov
idence. Near that place is solitary house
pleasantly situated, where all the newly
married couples go to pass the honeymoon.
They take a servant or two and steal away
from the town to this place, from which,
after, ga becoming PERIOD is passed, they
come forth again"
