A Chinese Burial.

A China woman died at Sacramento,
CAL, and her husband being well pro-
vided with money, gave her what he
considered frst-class funeral. The
Sacramento Union describes the cere-
monies "About o'clock in the after
noon the body, inclosed in coffin, was
placed on the sidewalk in front of her late
residence, and by its side were ranged
tables loaded with roast chicken, roast
pig, boiled rice, candy, nuts, brandy.
whisky, &C., sufficient in quantity to
keep the spirit of the deceased from
being hungry for month. These ar
ticles remained on the sidewalk until
late the next forenoon, surrounded by
paid mourners, who seemed to be car
rying on a lively competition in the
matter of giving full value for the
money received. At the cemetery, after
the coffin had been lowered, hired
mourners and the two children of the
deceased walked round the grave once,
while the husband remained standing
silently by. Then vessels containing
food were put in the grave at the head
and foot of the coffin, followed by a
small quantity of earth. Next to be
put in were live chickens and ducks,
and these were promptly covered with
earth. The grave having been filed up,
brandy and whisky were sprinkled
upon it in a liberal manner, while q
pigs head, roast chicken, boiled rice,
oranges, apples, nuts, candy, &C., were
laid upon the mound. The ceremony
being concluded, the Chinese returned
home in their carriages, while some
Christian boys, who had been closely
watching the proceedings, gathered up
the fruit, candy, &C., and likewise left

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.
We CON gratulate the Temperance
world on the success everywhere at
tending the use of VINEGAR BITTERs.
Certainly no preparation containing
alcohol has accomplished such cures of
malarious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, lung complaints, consti-
patton, and general debility, as we hear
of from all quarters, as tie results of
this famous vegetable specific. No true
philanthropist will regret to see spirit
nous liquors expelled from medical use,
if they can be safely dispensed with I;
and that they are not necessary in any
case of sickness, whatever its character,
appears at last to have been demon
strated. If public opinion is capable
of making any impression upon the
minds of the Faculty, they will ere long
introduce the most popular Of modern
medicines into the hospitals, and pre-
scribe it in their practice. The millions
have given the article fair trial; it has
more than answered their expectations,
and no theoretical opposition can shake
their faith in it.-C6n1.

Disease and Diet.

There can be no doubt, says Dio
Lewis, that, within certain climatic
conditions, a virgin soil, when first
turned up to the sun, emits an invisible,
subtle poison, known as malaria. This
poison produces in man various forms
of painful and dangerous diseases.
These maladies are very difficult to
manage, often undermining the consti-
tuition, and leaving behind effects which
remain through life. The malarial
poison is, on the whole, with perhaps a
single exception, the most insinuating,
obstinate and destructive Of all the
poisons known to man.
While it is probably impossible to
escape malarial diseases in certain To-
calities, there can be no doubt that q
considerable part of what is supposed
to be the result of malaria is due to
"hog and hominy." In my visits to
the West have been astonished at the
quantities Of pork and corn consumed
by the people. An Illinois farmer eats
twice as much as New England farm
er, and his food is twice as rich, while
he performs less than half the labor.
The influence upon his digestive ap-
paratus may be easily imagined. 1t re-
quires but little malaria to fire such a
train.
I have known more than one family
to remove from New England to ma
larious districts in the West, and break
up new farm, without suffering from
malarious diseases. They carefully
observed the laws of health, used beef
instead of pork, wheat instead of corn,
and stayed indoors from sundown till
an hour or 80 after sunrise.
Many of the diseases of the farmers,
and much of the yellow skin, may be
traced to the same causes as produce
the diseased and discolored complexion
of the South-a bad diet, bad drinks.
neglect of bathing and other kindred
violations of the laws of health.

The Advantages Of Advertising-An
Example to the Point.

After the crash of ~, says Milwau-
kee paper, when everybody was almost
scared to death, and the croakers pre-
dicted that the country had gone to
smash, dry goods house was opened
in that city, which proceeded on the
principle that in order to reach the
boarded money in the pockets of the
people the proprietors must sell at very
reasonable prices, and advertise very
largely. They worked vigorously on
this principle. Their brother merch-
ants who did not advertise predicted
that the newcomers would be ruined,
as they paid too much for advertising.
Nevertheless they persisted. In a sim
gle year they paid five hundred dollars
in gold to the Daily Wisconsin for ad-
vertising, and at the end of seven years
they retired from business with a for
tune of one hundred thousand dollars,
while the merchants on the same street,
some of them opposite their store, had
failed.
The lesson of 81 should not be for
gotten in '73. There is money in the
pockets of the people. 1t is being
boarded. The merchants must draw it
out. That can be done only by low
prices and extended advertising in es-
tablished journals. Commercial travel
ers bring plenty of credit business to
the merchants, but comparatively little
cash. 1t is clear as the noonday sun
that the more credits the merchant has
on his books the worse he will be off.
He wants the solid cash, and that can
best be obtained by JUDIc1oUs ADvER-

New WAY OF CLEANING SILvER.-Ac-
cording to DR.. Elsner, water in which
potatoes have been boiled exercises a
remarkable influence upon silverware
Of all kinds, especially spoons that have
become blackened by eggs. Even deli
cately chased and engraved articles
can, it is said, be made bright by this
method, even better than by the use OF
the primary polishing powder, which is
apt to settle in depressions, requiring
particular care in its removal.

old.fashioned style of stringing them.

MARRIAGE MORN.

The bridegroom walks with happy stride.
But he has only wen her pride.
She tames her love and gives her hand
Because he is lord of land,
Aud ne can ride
Ten miles and say, "All this lie mine;
Aud what Is mine, my love, Is thine"
And she can hide
Her soul, and though her heart be cold,
Put on q smile TO get his gold.
There is youth In Brinton Dell,
And Clara WILDWOOD loves him we'll;
And he loves her
Unto the very core OF truth
Win all the passions OF his youth
And would IL were
That he could prove true love and health
Are far beyond the price of wealth!
Old women tread the churchyard grass,
To see the bride and bridegroom pass
And children play
Round gravestones where there sisters slee p
And older children know and weep,
And turn away. -
The gossips stand beneath the trees
And watch and wait in twos and threes.
The belfry shakes, the warm air swells
With merry peal of bridal bells.
Alas, alas
The bridegroom who can buy and sell
shall meet the youth OF Brinton Dell!
