FRIENDS JEwELnY DISPLAY is eX-
tremely rich and tempting. By far the
richest assortment of this kind of goods
we have ever seen in Carson is to be
seen in his show cases. There is a new
case which he has Just added-in the west
end of the estabiishment-and the sets
there displayed, the chains and bracelets
and lockets, and alongside of these n
square, upright glass receptacle for silver
ware, are the richest goods ever vet
brought to Carson. OF course these are
of the very latest styles and finest metal
and workmanship. Some silver pins
and earrings and hair ornaments, of an
extremely delicate and elegant sort-this
also quite new to this market-are shown
to the visitor. This is what is known as
italian fill rec work, and is quite pecu-
liar and ever SO much more delicate than
Etruscan ware. There is !. perfect pro-
fusion of ladies watches, sleeve buttons,
glove fasteners, great, long chains with
grand opera tassels, and all that sort Of
thing, TO say nothing of the watches and
bTonzes and clocks of elegant shape. All
these bright things make very attrac-
tive and giittering display when Friend
lights up at night: and the attractions
ought to, and doubtless will, coax many

prudent husbands and hot hearted lovers
and then the ladies-God bless them

POLICE CoURT.-James Johnson, d. d.,
is three timer; and being such, he was
metaphorically thrown down and sinched
to the tune of $50 by His Honor yester-
day. He made no sign of the coin and
SO he is sailed down for fifteen days-or
was, when we last inspected his forlorn
condition. John Armstrong, a two timer
on the d. d. docket, got $40 or ten days
in the Bastile. He was serving out his
time the last we knew of the matter.
VIM. H. Bailey (colored.) a chiFonier,
sued the V. e. T. r. Il. Co. for $500
damages for having run over and killed
his Lorsc-but he had no case and 50 the
verdict was for the defense. 1t was
shown, We believe, that Bailey is
squatter on the Railway Company's land
and his horse was sort of tresspassing on
the path of the innocent and unsuspect-
ing locomotive ut the time of his killing.
Likely as not it is hard times for the old
man to lose his horse, out we don't
know how he can hold tho railway peo-
pie responsible when he is on their land.

Eating Without an Appetite.

1t is wrong to eat without an appetite,
for it shows there is no gastric juice in
the stomach, and that nature does not
need food, and not needing it, there be-
ing no fluid to receive and act upon it,
it remains there only to purify, the
very thought of which should be suffi-
cient to deter any man from eating
without an appetite for the remainder
of his life. If tonic is taken to whet
the appetite it is mistaken course, for
its only result is to cause enc to eat
more, when already an amount has
been eaten beyond what the gastric
juice is able to prepare.
The object to be obtained is larger
supply of gastric juice, not a large
supply of food and whatever fails to
have any efficiency towards the cure of
dyspeptic diseases. The formation of
gastric juice is directly propertioned
to the wear and tear of the system,
which it is to be the means of supply
ing, and this wear and tear can only be
the result of exercise. The efficient
remedy for dyspepsia is workout
door work-benefcial and successful in
direct proportion as it is agreeable, in.
teresting and profitable. Halls Jour

Oxygen q Poison.

Oxygen, on the plentifulness of which
in the air we breathe the bounding
blood of health is supposed to depend,
is as fatal as dose of strychnine if in
hailed in condensed form. Paul Bert,
French scientist, has demonstrated
this by some recent experiments with
birds and animals. Placing sparrows
under pressure of three and half at
mospheres, the birds were seized with
violent commissions. The same results
followed when sparrows were confined
in common air, under pressure of sev.
enteen atmospheres. In oxygen at o
pressure of three and half atmospheres,
or in air attwenty-two atmospheres,
the convulsions were extremely violent
and soon fatal. In the latter case the
symptoms were as follows: Commissions
commence after four or five minutes.
The bird hobbies in moving about, as
though walking on hot Goals. 1t then
fiutters its wings, falls on its back, and
spins about with its claws doubled up.
Death supervenes after a few such
spasms. In order to produce convul-
sions in dog, oxygen was found to re-
