zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of tho Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
AS a remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners Of more serious disease it saves
unuumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial and con-
vinces the most sceptical, Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unpercevcd attack Of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurabe, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and 1t Is unwise to
be without II. AS safeguard TO children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest Of Childhood CHERRY PICTORIAL
is invaluable; for by it's timely use, multi
titudes are rescued from premature graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
1t acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and heath-Testoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain

they can be cured.
Originally the product of long laborious, and.
successful chemical investigation, cost or toll
Is spared in making every bottle in the utmost

exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest 1t has ever effected.

A Burning Hill in Ohio.

Three miles from Bainbridge, Ross
county, Ohio, is located hill of con-
siderable altitude, known MS "Copperas
Mountain. Out of the top of this
mountain issues constant stream OF
smoke, while on its summit and general
surface the vegetation has wishered and
died, until the whole hill presents q
barren, sterile, and desolate aspect,
blasted as if by whirlwind of fire. II
is believed that the entire interior OF
the hill is mass of ignited combustible
matter, and that the fire is and has been
spreading with considerable rapidity.
The theory presented to account for il
is that on or about the 1st day of last
October the party to whom the land be.
longs was buring brush on the hillside,
aud that the flames communicated to
infammable matter-probably crude
oil, coal, or other combustible sub
stances-coatained in the geological
formation of the hill. The quenching
of the fire is Of course impossible, from
its situation, and how soon, if ever, the
fire will reach a point where it can be
controlled, can only be conjectured. At
present there is no danger to be appre-
hended to property in the vicinity.

Angora Goats.

The Angora goat is receiving consid-
erable attention from stock-growers IN
California, and q correspondent of the
Pacific Rurai Press thinks that "goat-
raising will be larger business than
shsep-raising in few years in your
state and, as 1 have lifelong ex-
perience in mohair business and in An
CORA goat raising in my country (being
a native of Angora, in Asia Minor), it
may benefit your countrymen, who de-
sire to raise goats, to give tsem few
hints on how to commence crossing An
CORA bucks with common native goats
and produce the best .mohalr-bearlng
goats:
"First Of all, the goat-raiser must see
that the common goats he gets are OF
the right sort, with large bodies, short
legs, strongly built, healthy and young,
with as short and smooth hair as possi-
BILE, say like the hide of well-groomed
horse. Their color must be black, or
black and white, or all white.
"No fawn-colored, common goat
should ever be put in any flock of mo-
hair-bearing goats. for reason un-
known; but the goat-raisers of Asia
Minor know that the cross of black goats
will produce the most bright, long,
th;ckly-grown, and good quality of mo-
hair. Next to that black and white,
and next to that all white. Goat kids
can bear mohair of fair average quality
but fawn-colored goats will take life
time of crossing to bring them to bear
fine mohair.

A New GunpOwder.

The latest issue of the Journal OF the
Society Of Arts contains notice of a
novel description of gunpowder, pos
sessing extraordinary proiectile power,
which is said to have been recently
adopted by the Prussian artillery. 1t is
composed of a certain proportion OF
nitre and sawdust, and in this state can
be kept in store without fear of explo'
sion. To render this composition ex.
plosive it is necessaryto add sufficient
quantity of sulphuric acid to make ii
cohere, and when dried it is ready fol
use. This composition has certainly
the advantage of cheapness, combined
with extreme simplicity in its manufac'
ture, and is said to leave but little resi-
due after being fired. But as nearly
everything, from bread to mahogany
tables, has at different times been made
from sawdust, and turned out failure,
we do not feel sanguine as to the result
of a scheme for making gnnpowder
from that material.

Living Very Cheaply.

Young men often write to us stating
the amount Of their salary, or profits,
and asking if it is safe and prudent for
them to get married on such an income.
We have endeavored, in reply to such
inquiries, to inoculate the doctrine that
the point of first importance in regard
to income was to keep the expenses in
the right relation to it; that with good
management, people can live pretty
well on moderate incomes; and that
those who make more than they spend
are, in certain sense, always lnde-
pendent.
In the following communication,
which has been addressed to us, we
have fair statement of the experiment
of marrying and supporting family on
a comparatively small income:
"7o the Editor of the Ledger: l ire
quently notice in yoR paper letters OF
inquiry from young men wanting to
know wheS er they are in position to
support a wife. They commence gener-
ally by stating the amount OF salary
they receive, which is often above II
thousand dollars, and inquire OF you
whether you think they, with this small
salary, as they call it, can maintain q
wife. Now to all such inquiring young
men would give my experience. Up
toShe time I was twenty-four years old
1 was nearly the only support OF o
widowed mother. At that time she
died. I felt discontented and lonely
after her death, and came to the con
clusion to get married, and did so IN
September, 1866. At that time 1 was
receiving $500 salary for my services IL
a country store. The next year my sal
ary was raised to $500, and at No time
has my income averaged more thar
$3.50; and yet with this small amount
I have managed to furnish six-room
house comfortably but plainly, and
have balance of $905.3S. Some might
say that I have lived meanly; but
have not. I have never deprived my
self or family, having one child, OF any
of the necessaWes of life, and / viii
guarantee any Of my neighbors will say
that myself and family have always
dressed neatly-a and comfortably. l com
menced this system of saving soon af
ter I was married by taking five shares
in building and loan association, an:
as my salary was increased l increased
nv stock in the association. And Il
any young man will do the same thing
he will soon find himself in possession
of a few hundred dollars, and will hard
ly know where it came from, bee des
having cultivated q habit of saving
which will naturally grow upon man
when once commenced. There are
plenty of young men who think, 'Oh
well, what's the use? I can't save any,
thing out of my small salary : when, il
they would carefully consider for few
minutes, they would find that they
spend dollars foolishly."
This letter shsws that all depends
upon prudent and economical manage
ment. If a young couple start right IL
life, they soon acquire the esteem anc
confidence of those around them. Ano
the natural tendency of this is to In
crease mans business or income.
SO far rs means of support are con
cerned, married people in the United
States can generally obtain sufiicien
if they try to; and in this respect w
have greatly the advantage over th'
countries of the old world.-Lcdger.

Water as Fuel.

A large number of citizens, by invita-
ton, visited the brass foundry on Fre-
mont street San Francisco, says Lowell
paper, for the purpose OF witnessing
some experiments with new fuel re-
Gently Invented. They were shown into
that portion of the establishment occu-
pied by the furnaces, and in one corner
found brick furnace some eight feet
long and six feet high. On the top of
this was an iron tank holding about ten
gallons, which was filed with crude
petroleum. From this tanka pipe about
all inch and half in diameter, led into
the side of the furnace. A small jet OF
oil, not larger than small goose quill,
was permitted to flow out of this tube ;
n light is placed beneath this jet, and
it Immediately ignites. Another pipe,
about an inch in diameter, leads from q
steam boiler stationed some fifteen feet
away. This pipe leads small Jet OF
steam upon the burning oil, and the
moment the steam strikes the oil the
oxygen in the water is set free and
ignites with tremendous roar, genera
Hng in a very few moments q most
white heat.
From this small source the entire
chamber of the furnace, which IS some
two feet by five feet, is filed with flame
so brilliant and dazzling that one cannot
gaze on it for more than moment at a
time. This flame possesses all the heat
of an oxyhydrogen fame, and beneath
its fierce power the hardest metals melt
in a few moments. The inventor Of the
apparatus by which the elements OF
heat, which nature so generously pro-
vides, can be utilized, is a very modest
slan, saying that he did not want to
bring his discovery before the public
until he had fully demonstrated that 1t
would do all he claimed for it. He says
that the cost of the furnaces will be
only nominal sum that they will be
within the reach of every one who owns
quartz ledge, while the amount OF oil
consumed in twenty-four hours will not
exceed ten gallons, at cost of 81.
The doctor has every confidence IN
his discovery, and declares his ability
to furnish fuel for q voyage OF one OF
the Panama steamers to and from
Panama for the insignificant sum. OF
two hundred dollars, while the entire
quantity will weigh not to exceed TWEEN
ty-five tons. He further says that at al
expense of five dollars per day, he can
run furnaces that will smelt one ton OF
ore every thirty minutes. If only one
half of what is claims1 can be accom-
plished, the discovery will prove of in
calculable advantage to the mining in.

Meeting Of Long Separated Brothers.

Some ten years ago two brothers left
their home in Illinois and went to Cali
fornia. The elder was man OF most
steady habits, who had received most
thorough business education in his ma
tive State, and who had made up his
mind to prosper in the new country he
had chosen. The other was inclined to
be dissipated, and had figured in SO
many scrapes ut home that he stood in
very bad odor in his village. The broth
ers lived together for some time in San
Francisco, while both looked for sltu-
ations. The younger brother, however,
fell into bad company and bad habits,
and after q few months they became
separated.
For ten years they did not meet. To-
ward two o'clock in the morning of last
Christmas, the gentleman of the house,
the elder brother, heard a noise below
stairs, and moving quietly out OF bed,
stood at the head of the stairs to assure
himself that his suspicious of burglars
being in the house were correct. The
CLEAN of candle in the parlor assured
him, and returning to his bedroom and
arming himself, he crept down stairs to
capture the tiief. He had proceeded
so cautiously that the burglar was not
aware of any one stirring in the house
hold, and when he reached the parlor
door he saw man endeavoring to pry
open the buffet where he kept his sill
yer. Leveling his revolver at the thief,
he shouted, "Stop, or you are dead
mani" and he had the burglarcomplete-
ly at his mercy.
The "jimmy dropped from his ner-
vous hands, and the gentleman was adj
vancing to secure him, when, to.his in
finite horror, he perceived that it was
his younger brother whom he had thus
detected in the act Of crime. Both stood
motionless for a moment, and then the
unfortunate wretch, dropping on his
knees, cried out: GAS God is my
Judge, Robert, 1 did not know that you
lived here!" The other believed him,
and bidding him sit down, asked him
what could have led to the commission
of such crime. Twas the old story.
Liquor and evil companions. That
night the would-be burglar slept under
the roof of his forgiving brother, who,
when he told this strange story, de-
clared with tears in his eyes that he in
tended to. save him, if possible, and
was going to give him employment in
his store.

CRn11sL.-The almost criminal BLUM

CRn11sAL.-The almost criminal blum
der OF New York clergyman brought a
youthful pair into an embarrassing pre-
aicament few days ago. He went into
a neighboring State, and without con-
sulting the law governing such solemn
engagements, proceeded to perform the
ceremony that purported to unite the
man and woman in the bonds OF matri-
mony. After the lapse OF little time
the deluded couple awoke to the con-
seriousness that they were not legally
man and wife, the clergyman who alone
officiated, not being domiciled in that
State. A visit to the clergyman in New
York, and repetition of the ceremony
there, relieved the dilemma but sup.
pose either party in the meantime had
repented the choice, would not serious
responsibility rest upon the negligent
