PrOstration Practice.

Luckily for the sick, the idea that II is necessary
to reduce their bodily strength in order to cure
them, is fast lying out Modern science recognizes
the fact that disease is OF itself moro than sum
ciently depressing to body and mind, and does not
need to be assisted in its inroads upon the vital
energy Of the system BY violent purgations and
other debilitating mixtures, Prostration is, in
short played out" and the praclioners who still
cling to IL are so few and far between that they
can not, like their predecessors Of the same fatal
school who nourished half century ago, fll the
graveyard with their victims The Introduction Of
uostcttcls Stomach Bittcrs in 1867 was the heavies
blow that the old practice Of depletion had ever
received and from that time to the present, as the
celebrity Of the great vegetable invigorant has in
creased, the purging, blstering, bleeding, water
cruel practice has declined. The effect Of this IA
nous preventive and remedy is TO strengthen,
build up, regulate and tranquilize not to weaken,
break down and violently disturb the system 1t Is

elements Of the medicine through the whole organi-
zatlon, and brings them into contact with the
sources Of the disease Hence its cures Of indiges
tion, constipation, bilious complaints, nervous
ness, languor debility, low spirits malarious dis
orders, &C., are complete and thorough, and az
protection against the ailments caused or sggre-
yated by cold and damp II has no equal.

The Dangers Of the Sea.

Only few moments after hesteamer
Germany, of the Atlantic line, lost at
sea, struck she began to fill rapidly and
to break up. Then the Lives of all on
board were placed in the greatest jeop-
ardy. 1t was night; the steamer kept
steadily going to pieces, and it became
nigh unto impossible to remain on deck,
swept as this was every moment from
stem to stern by furious waves. At
eight P. M. the main-mast fell, followed
half an hour later by the foremast, that
carried with it into the ragingsea and to
certain death seven unfortunates. The
terrible trials lasted throughout the
night, the situation of those on board
becoming more desperate every mo-
ment. The cracks of the breaking tim
bers of the Germany were repeatedly
accompanied by terrible, heartrending
appeals of friends and companions being
swept away by the lashing sea. A single
wave bore off mother and her four
children.
About five A. N. a young lady of eigh-
teen, that had passed the night near the
bow of the steamer, found the position
untenable and endeavered to reach the
centre, but, upset by huge wave, she
was, despite the brave efforts of an Off
Ger to rescue her, borne with awful vio-
lence against the sides of the vessel and
literally crushed to death. Her agon-
izing cries but added to the fright of the
survivors and redoubled the horrors OF
the scene.
After the break of day the first voy-
age made to fishing craft which lay by
the wreck proved most unfortunate.
By overcrowding and precipitation the
boat was overturned, and six of those
who had gone into her drowned. On
leaving the wreck father was forced to
abandon the hfeless corpse of his infant
of seven months that died in his arms
during the struggles of that awful
night. The declarations of the principal
ihicers of the steamer attribute the loss
of the Germany to certain false ma
neuvres of the pilot, but this one, a
licensed pilot Of Bordeaux, taken on
board at Liverpool, afirms that the dis
aster is due to thick fog which, un-
known to him, shut off the light OF Cor
donan. When the danger was discovered
the steamer was already between La
Mauvaise and Coubra Point, and all
the subsequent efforts of the pilot te
prevent her striking the latter therefore
proved unavailing. An investigation is
to be commenced by the Government
authorities. The Germany was a mag
nifcent. screw steamer of 2,075 tons.
When she left Liverpool she had 127
persons on board, twenty-nine of them
passengers. Thirteen of the crew and
thirteen passengers were lost-twenty-
six in all.

HORSE D1sEAsE.-The horse disease
known among veterinarians as cerebro-
spinal meningitis has appeared recently
among gentlemen's road horses in New
York city and carried off several valu-
able ones. 1t has also affected quite q
number of horses owned by the city
railroad companies, but has proved ia
tai in only few cases in their stables.
Bleeding has been resorted to with sue
cess by some veterinarians, while others
contend that phlebotomizing is hurtful.
The most fatal cases have occurred
where the animal. has been attacked in
the head, causing spasms, which are
painful to witness. There seems to be
no indications of the disease being
either contagious or epidemic, nor that
it will extend; but it is plainly one not
to be trifed with, and the cause or caus
es are so obscure that veterinary skill is
rather abroad inits treatment.

Intemperance and its Treatment.

The Boston Chief of Police has made
a report of unusual interest concerning
the affairs Of his department during the
past year. Covering, as that year did,
two such events as the Jubilee and the
fire of November 9, the report presents
several points which are worthy of care
full perusal, inasmuch as, owing to the
preventive system adopted by the po-
lice, there was no increase of robbery or
violence at either of these times.
Among other subjects treated of, that
of intemperance obtains prominence.
The most noticeable statement made
under this head is that, in spite of pro-
hibitory Legislation, the crime OF drunk
enness has increased much more rapid
ly than population. During the year
1872 there were arrested II 1925 persons
for drunkenness and 1886 for disorder
ly conduct, while 1,77S have been help:
ed to their homes. This shows total
of 1889 cases of intoxication which
have been brought to the notice of the
police, or about one to every fourteen
inhabitants, Of course numbers OF
persons have been arrested several
times, so that this proportion is not e1'
actly fair, but that consideration is
more than conterbalanced by the fact
that an immense number Of cases have
never been brought before the police
In fact the report does not speak vel
for Boston temperance.
With great good sense, the Chic!
points out that while no penalty is visi
ted upon the maker and but small tai
exacted from the seller of intoxicating
liquors, the drinker, who is the victim
of an appetite which is generally &C
knowledged to be often disease, il
severely punished. Whether, in the
present condition Of society, this manu-
facture of liquor can be prevented, Ii
questionable. But it is neither wise
nsr humane to legalize the temptation
and then punish him whom the law ha'
tempted. The problem of intemper
ance and it's treatment has by no meanl
found its solution when the sale O.
liquor is forbidden. How erratic thi
legislation is, may be judged from th'
fact, as given in this report, that if al
intoxicated person lies down on th'
road side of fence he may be arrested
but if he lies on the field side he can
not be interfered with, inasmuch a
that is considered private place.

Very Particular.

The distinctions of caste maintained
among the Hindoos are no more rigid
than some of those observed by Ameri-
can Indians. In the Indian Territory
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes have been
brought together in ono agency; but
no persuasion can induce the Cheyennes
to permit their children to associate
with those of the Arapahoes, who are
considered low caste. This feeling has
had an unfavorable effect on the at
tempts made to educate the children of
the Cheyennes, as the parents, though
willing to have them taught, could not
be prevailed upon to allow them to at
tend school on terms Of equality with
the Arapahoe children. Finally COM
promise was effected by rearrange-
ment of the school house. A partition
running through the centre divided the
Cheyenne papooses from the Arapahoes
while they were being taught, SO that
the young Cheyennes were enabled to
pursue their studies without suffering
contact with their low-caste fellow-saya-
ges. Notwithstanding all these conces-
sions to prejudice, it was found that it
was only the poorest and least aristo-
cratic Of the Cheyennes who manifested
any hearty disposition to avail them
selves of the opportunities affored for
the instruction Of their children.

Late Fashion Notes.

Blue will be the leading color in
Spring silks. Lophohore, new shade
of greenish blue, is seen among the i'm
portations for early Spring wear.
Turquoise blue is also very fashiona-
BILE.
All the indescribable shades, known
as paradis, lizard and peacock, worn in
the Winter, are to be seen in the Spring
goods, but in paler tints, suitable for
the season.
Pale gray shades, tinged with green
and blue, are also introduced.
Norwegian gray is charming gray
shade, with blue tint.
Airain, or copper color, is q stylish
brown.
Verd antique, black bronze, and vari-
GUS other metallic shades are seen.
Pervenche, or periwinkle, is q new
shade of purple.
Mordore is light golden brown hue.
Striped silks in all these colors are
seen as well as self-colored ones.
The stripes are either in contrasting
or harmenizing colors.
Polka dots will be revived on all goods
cheaper than pure silk fabrics, such
as foulards, pongees, grenadines and
prints.
Foulards bid fair to be very popular;
they are brought out in dark, rich
colors with polka dots, crescents, stars,
or Japanese figures in white sprinkled
upon them.
Napoleon blue, dark, rich shade, is
the favorite color for these foulards.
Foulard Laine, or wooden foulard, is
new fabric, just imported for Spring
wear. 1t is as soft and flexible as cash.

Pongees, in unbleached and dust.
colored hues, are seen in large quanti-
ties among the importations.
Satin jeans, lighter quality than
formerly worn, is also seen among the
wash goods in these new colors and
polka dots.
The new percales have dark grounds,
and some have twilled stripes of dark
color on white ground. The figures
on the dark grounds are tiny dashes,
sprigs, and Greek squares of white at
intervals.

Chinese Treatment Of Animals.

They never punish; hence amule that
in the hands of foreigner, would be
not only useless but dangerous to every
one about it, becomes, in the possession
of Chinaman, as quiet as lamb and
as tractable as dog. We never beheld
a runaway, a jibing or vicious mule
or pony in q Chinaman's employment,
but found the same rattling, cheerful
pace maintained over heavy or light
roads by means of turr-r or cluck-k,
the asttuining to the right or left, and
stopping with but hint from the reins.
This treatment is extended to all the
animals they press into their service.
Often have admired the tact exhibited
in getting a drove Of sheep through
narrow, crowded streets and alleys, by
merely having a little boy to lead one
Of the quietest of the flock in front; the
others steadily followed, without the
aid eithe from yelping cur or cruel
goad. Cattle, pigs and birds are equal
ly cared for.-7rarcls on Horseback in

The Intermarriaee Of Women,

. Amid the strange marriages, the palm
of oddity must certainly be conceded
to those from which man has been e1-
cluded. One case of this sort came to
light this year, when the Edinburgh
police laid their hands upon a young
woman who was wanted" from infor-
nation supplied by an Irish girl, whom
the masquerading female in question
had married, while employed in the
neighborhood of Kirknewton. The
couple had lived happily together for
a time but quarreling over some do
mestic matter, the wife resolves to part
company, and informed the police what
manner of husband she had married.
A stranger story of this nature is told
in the Gentleman's Magazine for 1776,
A discovery of very extraordinary
kind was made at Poplar, where two
women had lived together SO for thirty
six years, and kept public house,
without ever being suspected, but the
wife happening to fall i'll and die, .
few days before she expired revealed
the secret to her relatives, made her
will, and left legacies to the amount OF
half what she thought they were worth.
On appealing to the pretended hus-
band, she at first endeavored to sup
port her assumed character but, be-
ing closely pursued, she at length own
ed the fact, accommodated all matters
amicably, put off the male and put on
the female character, in which she ap,
peared to be a sensible, well-bred wo-
man, though in male attire she had al
ways affected the plain, plodding ale,
house keeper. :.
1t is said they had acquired in bust:
ness three thousand pounds. Both had
been crossed in love when young, and
had chosen this method to avoid further
opportunities the female widower af.
terward prosecuted man for e1tortine
money from her before the disclosure,
by threatening to proclaim her real sex
and proving her case, had the satisfac.
tion of hearing the offender sentenced
to four years Imprisonment, and e1'
posure in the pillory. In 1777, wo'
man was pilloried in Cheapside, and az
terward sent to prison for six months
for dressing herself in male attire, and
marrying, three women, with whose
clothes and money she had decamped
at the first opportunity. In 1873 an
other deceiver gained possession Of {
hundred pounds ; but instead of finger
ing the money, the woman-husband was
introduced to the lord mayor by hel
cheated spouse, and paid the penalty o.
detection.

The Northwestern Storms.

AS intimated in st. Paul paper i'm
mediately after the subsistence of the
late terrible storm the record of the dis
asters to life and property resulting
therefrom is thoroughly sickening to
contemplate. While every section of
the State contributes portion of the
narrowing details, the entire western
frontier of Minnesota sends up return
of dead, missing, and manned, which
seems more like the carnage of battle
than the result of any erratic and Won
derful commotion of the elements. The
accounts agree in representing the
storm as travelling with remarkable ve-
locity, and enveloping those caught in
its deadly meshes, almost before they
could turn their steps homeward. To
illustrate the power of the wind in ex-
posed localities, the statement is made
that sleighs were overturned and men
prostrated as though they were nothing
moro than straws in the path of the gale.
The destruction of life is greatly attrib-
utable to the suddenness of its appear
ance and its tremendous motion-the
degree of cold not being as great as in
many preceding it, but which have not
made tithe of the awful havoc. There
is little room to doubt that the major
portion of the list of casualties and
deaths was completed in all its sadden-
ing chapters, between four o'clock on
that fatal Tuesday afternoon and
Wednesday morning, and as but few
could be so foolhardy as to venture on
journeys while it was raging, it is reas-
enable to suppose that the deaths and
suferings are confined to those sur
prised by it while at distance from
home.

A FIXED FACT IN PHARMAcy.-Con-
sidering the multitude of diseases, it
is amazing that we live; in view of the
countless remedies for them, it is won
derful that we die. Unfortunately,
however, all the diseases are realities,
whereas most of the remedies are hum
bugs. One exception to the latter rule
demands the recognition and approval
of the press. We refer to DIR. JOSEPH
WALKERS VINEGAR BIrTERs. OF the
doctor himself, we know nothing; but
of his medicine we can speak from OBJ
servation, for it seems to have found its
way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, as family remedy, than
any other preparation, although it has
not yet been before the world three
years. Wherever we go we hear Of it.
and whenever we hear of it the COM
ments on its efficacy are enthusiastic.
We have questioned sufferers from liver
complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo, irregu-
larities of the bowels, indigestion, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, gout, kidney dis
eases, and affections Of the lungs, as to
its effects, and the uniform answer has
been,"N is doing me good" Believing
that what everybody says must be true,
we have no hesitation in admitting that
VINEGAR BIrrERs is the Great Medical
Success of the present century.-Com.

Fire.Proof Coating for Woodwork.

Water-glass and chloride of zinc hav-
ing both proved failures as protectors
of wood against the action of fire, the
following preparation has been suggest
ed as a substitute. Two coats of q hot
saturated solution Of three parts alum
and one part copperas are first laid on
and allowed to dry. A third coat, con-
sisting of dilute solution of copperas
into which potter's clay has been stirred
until it has acquired the thickness OF
good water colors, completes the appi-
cation. Another method is to apply
hot glue-water as long as it is absorbed
into the pores of the wood. A thick
coat of boiled glue is then put on, and
while fresh is busted over with pow
der composed of one part sulphur, one
part ochre or clay, and six parts cop
peras. Both methods have been tried,
and though not perfect are considered
much superior to the employment OF
either chloride of zinc or soluble glass.
