DYSPEPSIA OR WORCESTERSHIRE of cur
readers has not suffered from the ills and
varied forms of this hydra-headed tol mentor,
which originates from loss of tone in the
stomach, or more particularly in its muscular
or fibrous coating, which becomes pale and
feeble. 1t would require pages to describe all
the symptoms and various sympathetic aflec-
tions of indigestion, and the torture to which
the dyspeptic is suhiscted, but which may be
compressed into one brief comprehensive SEN
tence You feel sick, depressed. and unfit for
the duties Of life. Nevertheless, there is
nothing more certain than that dyspepsia in
all its phases, can be thoroughly eradicated.
There is but one way to cure indigestion.
viz: by toning and strengthening the stomach
and general sy Stem, gently relaxing the bowels
If constipated, and regulating the liver il
disordered. A remedy for his human peace
| destroyer is CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs,
which have the rare merit of continuing no
alcohol, the virtues ofihe medicinal Californian
Plants, which constitute their healing and
curing ngencies-beng extracted by new
chemical process. The popular verdict i,
that they are the most perfect article for the
stomach, and are to be taken as circumstance,
may require, with the fullest confidence, arc
that by their means Can the return of thi
distressing malady be prevented We arc
satisfied this remedy is OF great value.

Imprisoned Fifteen Months for Doing
Good Deed.

The New Haven Register publishes
the following singular case On the 10th
instant a very singular case was tried
before the Supreme Court. 1t was the
case of Frank Beane, sixteen year old
boy, who had been imprisoned for the
last fifteen months, awaiting trial on the
very grave charge of placing obstruc-
tions on the Naugatuck Railroad track
near Beacon Falls. All the witnesses
for the State testified positively that the
lad took off an obstruction from the
track, thereby saving an approaching
train with its living freight from injury.
The jury, after very few minutes de-
liberation, returned verdict of not
guilty, and the boy was discharged. AS
there is no provision by statute for re-
compense in such a case, the accused
must himself bear the whole burden of
the long imprisonment, the imputation
on his character, and the bitter con-
sciousness Of suffering from we'll doing.
In view of this, there were those who
went so far as to advise suing of the
railroad company for damages.
But the main fault seems to lie else
where than in the company, though
there was blundering all around. The
magistrate before whom Beane had his
preliminary examination was in error
in binding him over for trial. We un-
derstand that he did it in the face of
the earnest protestation of member of
the bar who was present. Judge Sand
ford states that in all his experience he
has never had so singular case tried
before him. We suggest that as SIM
pie matter Of fair return for services
rendered, to say nothing of other con-
siderations, the Naugatuck Railroad
Company should present the boy Beane
with a suitable sum of money for his
brave act. Even fraction of the value
of the property which would have been
destroyed had not the obstruction beer
removed, would place him well off pecu.

FIGS IN THE OPEN AIR.-We doubt
as to the hardness of every variety of
fig in this climate, but nevertheless here
is hint that may be useful for an ex-
pertinent, and we may have Michigan
figs, who knows? Coleman, of the
Rural World, of St. Louis, says: ave
have raised the fruit in the open air,
but from a slight inadvertency had the
wood always injured if not destroyed in
the winter,b by using straw, rags and bar
rels to cover them. General Worthing-
ton, of Ohio, who has raised figs there
for thirty years, after many fruitless
trials finds that simply laying G down the
limbs on the ground and covering with
six inches of soil is the best protection.
They are obtained as one-year old plants
or as cuttings, as they strike easily.
The common yellow or small purple are
the best varieties. The plants begin to
bear at two years, and these two varie-
ties will produce fruit from July to
October. With this protection during
winter, any soil that will grow good to-
matoes will produce figs. They arc de-
licious eaten fresh from the tree or with
cream and sugar. The plants are set
ten to twelve feet apart. 1t is much re-
GREETED that more attention is not paid
to the culture Of this fruit"

= Vagaries of Fashion.

To a person who has a quick eye for
the picturesque or the lack of it in fe-
male attire, the 0utre effect sometimes
produced is absolutely painful. A ra-
tional person often feels like asking
why, if woman has neck like q slSele-
ton, she must tell the world so. Why,
if fate has made her grow stouter than
it is permitted to be, must she squeeze
and fold her fat into tight low dress
because it is the fashion? Why must
she draw hard line around her should
ers, that seems to cut her in two, and
wear sleeves which are mere straps to
keep her gown on, without caring,
without knowing, whether her arms are
models? Why must she wear trimmings
of great O's and KS and vandykes on
her skirt, so that at little distance the
first thing about her that strikes the eye
is the trimming? Why, if very tai,
must she take the arm of q very little
man, and make herself and him look
absurd? Why will she draw attention
to her want of color by wearing red or
arsenic green? Why, with red hair, is
her dress pink? Why, when in very
pale dress, does she lean against the wall,
which the barbarity of English ignor-
ance has papcred with white Why,
with black hair, does she carry heavy
burden of jet flowers, combs, and i'm
possibly thick plaits, that makes her
head look like an elephants on an ante
lope's body? Why will she trust to
the very moderate gifts nature has en-
dowed her with, to fight against the most
abnormal disadvantages These are
only few of the insane mistakes that
nearly all girls commit, many Of them
girls with artistic tastes and capacities
in every direction except Dress whose
eyes you may see shine with pleasure at
,Ney steadily refuse to take a hint from.

A GOOSe's Love.

Though Rome was saved by the cack-
ling of geese, their reputation has never
been enviable, for to style man a goose
implies very low estimation of his
abilities. But geese have many redeem
ing features. DR.. Wight, of Dedham,
who is a goose fancier, tells thousand
singular instances of their habits. He
has one noble old gander who has re-
fused even the leap-year advances of the
most beautiful goosey on the pond, and
has maintained his celibacy ION account
of the bad example of his owner, we
presume) through many years. The
doctor owned a pair who for sevel al
years renewed their pledges of mutual
faithfulness, and seemed to exhibit a
constancy most remarkable, giving
promise of at least silver wedding OF
fidelity. A friend sent to the doctor
two beautiful females of the same
species, which he placed on the pond
and when mating time approached, the
old gander, won by the beauty of young
Miss Goose, deserted his old companion
and paid his devoirs at the new comer's
shrine. The deserted one refused al
food, and her kind owner carried her tC
the house. After some days, thinking
that her heart was healed, he carried
her to the pond. When within sight o.
the water, the false one, with his new
bride, came sailing by, when the divorc
ed one glanced at him. buried her head
gave one quiver, and died in her owner
arms.
She is supposed to have died of a bro
ken heart, although there are people
who intimate that death was caused OF
account of the near approach of Thanks
giving, at which time the goose woul(
have been slaughtered at any rate.

EARLY RIsING.-Much of the talk about
early rising is mOOnshine The habit of turn
ing out of bed in the middle of the night suits
some people; let them enjoy it. But it's only
folly to lay down general rule upon the sub
iect Some men are fit for nothing all day
after they have risen early every morning.
Their energies are deadened, their immagina-
tions are heavy, their spirits arc depressed. 1t
is said you can work so we'll early in the morn
ing. Some people can, but others can work
best at night; others again, in the afternoon.
Long trial and experiment form the only con-
elusive tests on these points. AS for getting
up early, because Professor Cannon has writ
ten letters to the papers proving the necessity
of it, let no one be goose enough to do it. We
all know the model man, aged eighty: " [ in
variably rise at five | work three hours, taxi
a light breakfast-namely, a cracker and
pinch of salt--work five hours more; neve
smoke, never drink anything, but barley water
eat no dinner, and go to bed at six in th
evening" IF ANYBODY finds that donkeyfe
sort of life suits him, by all means, lethim cor
tinue it.
But few people would care to live to b
, eighty on those terms. IF man can not &C
well withered and crumbled upon easier tern
than those, it is almost as well that he shoul
depart before he is a nuisance to himself and
: bore to everybody else.

THE VALLEY OF DEATH-The Valley of
Death, a spot almost as terrible as the prophets
valley of dry bones, lies just north of the old
Mormon road to California; region thirty
miles long by thirty broad, and surrounded, ex-
cept at two points, by inaccessible mountains.
1t is totally devoid of water and vegetation,
and the shadow of bird or wild beast never
darkens its white glaring sands The Kansas
Pacific Railroad engineers discovered It, and
also some papers which show the fate of the
" lost Montgomery train, which came south
from Salt Lake in 1850, guided by Mormon.
When near Deaths Valley, some came to the
conclusion that the Mormons knew nothing
about the country, so they appointed leader
and broke off from the party. The leader
