soul of Isaac is SO much narrowed

would think, because his readers keep
telling him it is SO much better and

good and generous creature that he is
anxious that we should make the

Avoid the Periis OF the season

Autumn, although the most radiant portion OF
the American year, has its draw backs. The heavy
evening dews and morning vapors and the great
disparity In temperature between the night and
day, give rise to many painful disturbances Of the
bowels, such as collie, cholera morbus, diarrhpa
and dysentery. The digestive organs also un-
favOrably affected by tho change Of season, and
dyspeptics generally suffer most severely during
the fall. arrangements q the liver are likewise
common, and miasmatic fevers prevail in newly.
settled districts and low-ying and marshy locali-
ties. These unpleasant contin gencics OF the season
are NOT however, unavoidable. By strengthening,
tonlug and regulating the system with Hostetters
Stomach Bitters even the mC st ell cate may escape
them. At the expiration OF summer all the bod lily
require the Wholesome stimulation which his
genial vege table invgorant supplies. Under its
renovatio " influence the nervous energy which the
willing heat of July and August had kept in
allegiance or partially e1tinguished, crops out
afresh; the faced muscles recover their elastlci-
tyi the appetite takes sharper edge the pro
cesses of digestion and assimilation become more
rapid and peri ct; the spirits rise and the whole
organic ton acquires it's maximum Of activity and
resistant power. Even persons Of com paratively
feeble constitutions, when thus fortified against
the perlls of the season, will have little cause to

Dead Shot for Insects.

Strong alum water is sure death to
bugs of and description. Take two
pounds of pulverized or of crystal alum,
and dissolve in three quarts ol boiling
water, allowing it to remain over the
fire until thoroughly dissolved. Apply,
while hot, with brush, or, what is bet
ter, use syringe to force the liquid
into the cracks of the walls orbedstcad.
The pulverized alum is worth about 80
cents pound, and that in crystal from
IA to 20-a cheap remedy. The latter
requires little longer to dissolve. OF
course an experiment to verify the
claim above made, can be made by en-
ploying mere fraction of the quanti-
ties above-named. A less perfect cure
for insect pests is to scatter the powder
ed alum freely in places where they
abider. Powdered borax, scattered
thinly where Croton bugs and cock
reaches travel and abide, will expel
them at once. 1t is sure expulsion for
the Croton insect. Almost all strong

The Nathan Murder.

BENJAMIN Nathan was murdered in his
bed chamber on the second floor of his
residence, near Fifth avenue and
Twenty-third street, New York, in the
early morning of the Doth of July,
1870. The occupants of the premises
at the time were the deceased, his two
sons, Washington and Frederick, a
woman servant and her son, young
man of twenty-four, named Kelly. All
the circumstances pointed to the fact
that the murderer or murderers were in
the building before the family retired.
Thee were no signs of HOUSEKEEPING,
and it is probable that, as the house
was undergoing repairs, and as the
front door was left wide open during
the whole day to allow of the easy in
gress or egress of the workmen, the per-
petrator of the deed entered from the
street in the ordinary way without at
tracing attention, seereted himself in
the library, and awaited the coming of
Mr.. Nathan, to possess himself of the
key of the safe which it was his inten-
ton to rifle. The instrument used by
the murderer was ship carpenters
iron dog, which it was supposed had
been stolen from a house in Fifth
avenue in 1869 by burglars who used it
on that occasion to open drawers and
safes This dog was looked upon by
Superintendent Jourdan as a most i'm
portant clue. Some OF the burglars
who had entered the Fifth avenue man

Assaulting an Editor.

A Harlem, N. Y, correspondent,
gives the details of the brutal assault
upon the editor of the Local of that lace.
The paper had been out spoken in Local
politics Threats anonymous and open
were made, but the editor kept on.
Some months ago Gibson, the editor,
having received caution not to attend
a meeting, persisted in attending, and
there made an exposure. Within two
or three nights young man so like
Gibson as to he easily mistaken for him
was set upon and beaten so brutally
that he is still an invalid, and may bear
the penalty of his unluckly resemblance
for years. Gibson, despite this warn
ing, persisted in his course. A man ac-
costed him at the door of his office.
asked him if his name was Gibson,
and on his affirmative reply threw the
contents of tin cup in his face. The
cup contained vitriol, and as a result.
the editor had one eye burned ont and
the sight of the other impaired. 1t
seems probable that as Mr.. Gibson had
clear view of the assailants, there were
two in company, and as he did not
know them they were imported scoun-
drels-murderers by the job.

The head of the family wears a long,

after things his wife has forgotten. She,
poor woman, has taken whole seat to
herself, and between expectations of the
coming season and dread of something
being spilled on her clothes, is in about
rs an ecstatic state as can be imagined
And the little olives are enjoying them
selves, too, rasping each others shins
and threatening to fall out and be
crushed to death But they go off with
the floating of handkorchiefs and hearty
good-byes of the farmers family, who
immediately retire to the house to give
thanks. And when the farmers son re-
turns from the depot, he takes hold of

that ensues between him and his sire

A Pennsylvania farmer sued r. rail-
road company 70, the loss of a barn by
fire kindled by the sparks from loco.
motive. In the lower court the iurv
awarded the farmer $4,000 damages
The railroad appealed to superior
court. 1t was shown that the barn was
some distance from the track of the
railroad, and that the intervening space
was occupied by abundance of dry
grass, weeds, &C., by which the fire was
communicated to the building. The
court overruled the first decision. on
the ground that rs no one is respon.
ponsible for the accidents from remote
but only for those from immediate
causes, the owner of the barn must
bear the loss. "The sparks from the
locomotive did not fire the barn. but
the grass, and it was the grass which
fired the barn" If n farmer should

Young Women VS.. Young Men.

Throughout Germany, wherever
females can be employed to advantage,
they are taken in preference to young
men. AT Munich the clerks and book
keepers in the banks are nearly all
young and handsome girls. At the
depots, many of those who attend the
windows for the sale of tickets are girls,
and the cashiers in all the cafes and
restaurants are of the same sex. They
are generally very expert at figures.
and in mental arithmetic have no su,
periors. In view of the fact that so
many females are employed in the
rougher and harder descriptions of Ia
boring work, it speaks well for the sex
that they are seeking and securing
more desirable and lucrative employ.
