A Baby Playing with Black Strap.

A Lehigh county man and woman
went to the hay field the other day and
took their baby along and placed it in
the shade. Some time after the mother
noticed the child playing with black
strap, which the little one would every
now and then let fall out of the wagon
and then crawl out after it, seemingly
very busy with the object it had in pos
session to amuse itself. Not knowing
how it got the strap, she persuaded her
husband to go and see what it was. I'M
agine the fathers horror and terror
when, on drawing near, he found that
the child was actually fondling black
snake, at least four feet in length, now
wrapped around the little ones body,
then again entwining itself about its
neck and going through all kinds of
frightful movements, its red tongue
darting out of it's mouth with lightning
like rapidity, and the child all the while
stroking it and joyfully laughing until
the tears rolled down its cheeks. The
snake was killed, to the great grief of
the child,

A MOney.BOrrOwer Drowned.

There was recently living in West
Troy, n. Y, says the New York Ledger,
man who was supposed to be one of
the richest men in the place. He pro-
fessed to be very busy in making money,
and was in the habit of borrowing of
anybody of whom he could obtain o
loan. He borrowed large sums of the
rich and small sums of the poor, and it
was thought to be a good thing to have
him in ones debt, as he paid interest
promptly on all his loans. But one day,
recently, this enterprising citizen was
drowned, and on Investigation it was
discovered that his estate was hopelessly
insolvent. He was not worth dollar.
He had actually lived and fourished on
other peoples money for years, borrow
ing of one to pay another. His pretended
money-making schemes were all shams.
He had no business except that of keep
ing his fellow-citizens deluded as to his
real condition. He owed four hundred
thousand dollars, and many people,
rich and poor, will suffer by reason of
their misplaced confidence in him.
1t is believed by some of his victims
that, having come to the end of his
powers longer to keep up his gigantic
deception, the wretched man committed
suicide to escape the storm of indigna-
ton which he knew would burst upon
him when the real facts of the case
should become known.

How 70 Make a Mustard Plaster.

How many people are there who
really know how to make mustard
plaster? Not one in a hundred, at the
most, perhaps, and yet mustard plasters
are used in every family, and physicians
prescribe their application, never tell
ing anybody how to make them, for the
simple reason that doctors themselves
do not, as a rule. The ordinary way is
to mix the mustard with water, temper
ing it with a little flour, but such a
plaster as that makes is simply abomi-
nable. Before it has half done it's work
it begins to blister the patient, and
leaves him finally with painful fayed
spot, after having produced far less eff
feet in beneficial way than was intend
ed. Now a mustard plaster should
never cause blister at all. If blister
is wanted there are other plasters far
better than mustard for the purpose.
When you make a mustard plaster,
then, use no water whatever, but mix
the mustard with the white of an egg,
and the result will be plaster which
will draw perfectly, but will not pro-
duce blister even upon the skin of an
infant, no matter how long it is allowed
to remain upon the part. For this we
have the word of an old and eminent
physician, as well as our own expert
ence.

A New England Wedding.

A correspondent writing for Guilford,
Conn, beguiles the readers of the Mil
waukee (Wis.) Journal Of Commerce
with the following "Young John
Hubbard was married last week to a
lady of Stony Greek. He brought his
bride from the home of her father in
his own farm wagon, arriving at the
sufficiently romantic hour of 1 o'clock
in the morning. The bride prepared
her lords breakfast the next morning
by o'clock, in the apartments built on
the homestead-with one or two excep-
tions the oldest inhabited house north
of st. Augustine-for the accommoda-
ton of the young folks. The weather
being fine for hay, John was soon down
near Sachem's Head, about four miles
away, getting his heaps ready for cart
ing. After the breakfast dishes were
put away and the house-work was done,
our lady, with some friends followed
the groom to the hay-felds, where they
had nice picnic party. Toward even
ing, the new Mrs. John Hubbell was
driven home in triumph on the top of
the load of sweet fresh hay weighing
about two tons. And, as the chill
dren, upon the venerable authority of
Mother Goose, sing, 'now my story is
done.

Chinese Duel in Arkansas,

Lincoln County, says the Pine Bluff
Republican, was the scene of very in
teresting affair in the shape of pure
and unadulterated duel between two
sons of very noble families of China. 1t
appears that for several centuries q
rivalry has existed between the houses
of LAX Zud Qui Camm and Au Jou Flu
lee Yung, gentlemen residents of Can
ton up to 1865. Many difficulties were
the result of this enmity, and the ranks
of each family became sensibly dimin-
ished as time elapsed. Finally the hour
arrived for the Yung hatred to become
satiated. A revolution threw it in pow
er, and its rival was found among the
defeated rebels. AS a consequence
Camm was imprisoned and tortured,
and his family banished. But he made
his escape, and in disguise sought his
enemy, whom he found rioting in luxu-
ry and surrounded by courtly throng,
and there slew him. After reaping his
revenge he destroyed himself by hari-
kari, a suicide practiced by the mobiles
of the country The banished Camms
all died but LAX Zud Qui, who drifted
about until he landed in Arkansas and
settled in Lincoln county. By the same
train of events All Jou Fiulee Yung, the
only survivor of his illustrious house,
wandered to the locality where lived his
common enemy. They dwelt together
for some time in total ignorance of each
others identity. But the donoument
came at last, during q conversation
about their afar off home, and all the
hatred of their nature was stirred up
anew. The rest is soon told. They con-
cluded that this world could not contain
them both alive, and silently and sadly,
unknown to any one, prepared for the
bloody sacrifice. They chose the dead
ly Colt with which to perfect their pur,
pose, ,andsafter embracing and promising
that no harm should attach to the sur.
vivor, they took their places, gave their
own signal and fired. Camm fell dead,
and the too confding Yung now Ian
guishes in the hotel de Doby-whithel
he was escorted yesterday evening by
Deputy Sheriff, Captain Chas. Lyman
and wonders why the law should in.
terfere with the private affairs of for.
eign gentlemen-not citizens of the

An Immense Tunnel.

1t is proposed to construct railroad
tunnel under the river Humber. in Eng
land, which will be 1850 yards long. It
will begin at Hessle, on one side of the
river, and terminate at Barton, in North
Lincolnshire. The curve of the tunnel
will be ten feet below the river bed, and
as this consists of sand, the work will
be done by means of the pneumatic pro-
cess. In carrying it forward, three
working vessels will be provided. The
dimensions Of these will be 100 feet in
length by AZ in width, and 90 feet in
depth. The upper half will consist of
pontoon and the lower half of working
chamber or diving bell. This working
chamber will suffice for the construction
of 160 feet in length of double tunnelin
one portion. The success will be, first, to
span the working vessel over the site of
the tunnel; then to sink it to the bed of
the river by the admission of water into
the pontoon; and, thirdly, to expel the
water from the lower portion, or diving
bell, by forcing the air, when workmen
will enter the chamber and excavate the
ground for the construction of the 16O
feet length Of tunnel. When the work
ing vessel has been sunk through the
material of the bed of the river to the
depth of the inlet of the proposed tun-
mel, bricklayers will enter and commence
to build the tunnel. When completed,
the working vessel will be Withdrawn
and sunk at another spot for the execu-
ton of further length. The joining
up OF, the isolated lengths of the tunnel
will be effected as the working vessel is
being from time to time withdrawn from
the bed of the river. The machinery for
supplying the required air and pressure
to keep the diving bell portion of the
apparatus free of water will be erected
on deck or table carried sufficient
height above the working people to be
above the level of high water when the
working vessel is in its lowest position.
As has already been stated, the excava-
tions, being chiefly sand, will be remov-
ed by means of sand pumps, worked by
the compressed air in the diving bell.
The brick and other materials will be
lowered by machinery from the stage
above referred to in the working cham
Der. Although the process is new in
its application to railway tunnel, yet
it has been employed with success in
putting in brick foundations in several
parts of the world, and no doubt is
felt as to its being equally successful in
its new application.

A Disease with Thousand symptoms

Dyspepsia is the most pcrplexing Of all human
ailments It's symptoms are almost infinite in
their variety, and the forlorn and despondeut VIC
tins OF the disease often fancy themselves the
prey in turn, of every known malady. This is due,
in part, to the close sympathy which exists be-
tween the stomach and the brain, and in part, also,
to the fact that any distur bance Of the digestive
functions necessarily disorders the liver, the
bowels and the nervous system and affects to some
extent, the quality Of the blood. medicine that,
like Hostetter's Bitters not on tones the stomach
but at the same time controls the liver, produces
regular habit of body, braces the nerves. purifes
the fluids and " ministers to a mind diseased" /" is
therefore the true and only specific for chronic
indigestion, Such is the operation Of this famou s
vegetable restorative 1t not only cures dyspepsia,
but also all concomitants and consequences. Nor
over, it is invaluable preventive of indiges-
tion. No one who chooses to take half a wneRlass
full of this agreeable appetizer and stomachc habit
ually three times day will ever be troubled with
oppression after eating, nausea sour ervctations
or any other indications CT want Of vgor in the
digestive or assimiating organs. The debility and
languor superinduced by hot weather are immedi
ately and permanently relieved by the Bitters, and
persons who constitution ally inclined to look
upon life ~ as through glass, darkly" will be ap,
to take brighter and ehopeful view of the sit
uation under the geniallnfuence of this wholesome
medicinal stimulant.
