An ACT OF JUsTIcE.-Doubting Castle
was sad stumbling block in the path of
Bunyan's Christian, though it couldn't bar
his way to Truth. We can sympathize
with tie Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets
us when we are asked to believe anything
particularly extraordinary. Consequently,
when we heard, some eighteen months
ago, that physician in California had
compounded, from the juices and extracts
of certain herbs found there, q medicine
that cured almost every variety of blood
disease, we were incredulous Since then
we have bad opportunities of testing the
accuracy of the report, and are free to ad-
NIT that our doubts have vanished. Seeing
what we have seen, and knowing what we
know, it is impossible for us to question
the remedial properties of DIR. WALKERS
VINEGAR Buffers. That this famous veg.
etable Tonic, Alternative, and Antiseptic
is q specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Com

Ague, Bilious Intermittents, Scrofulous
Taint in the Blood, Incipient Consump-

the Kidneys, seems to be matter beyond
the pale Of controversy-a 6ced fact in

Government only receiving one-half, ex-

In Boston the case is somewhat similar,
with the exception that smuggling is

The greatest difficulty, however, is ex-

extent of the importations, owing mainly
to the inaccessible character of the coast

brought to him bits of the food given to

in the room where they were, saw the cat,
who had been watching Pip with evident
anxiety, dart suddenly out of the window,
and rush across the street. In a moment
she came back carrying something in her
mouth, which she brought to Pip, and
laid it down. Pip got up, shifted at it,
then turned away and lay down again.
The cat dragged it close to him, and
thrust it under his nose. Thus persuad-

Skill of a ,PG Mice Clerk.-Some
Terrible "Spells."

Speaking of the Philadelphia lawyers,
the distributing clerk in charge of the
foreign letters which come through the
Chicago Post Office was evidently cut out
for one; if not, his experience has been
such as to amply fit him for the profess
sion of deciphering unintelligible signs
and hieroglyphics. Many of the super
scriptions which come through his hands
are among the most mysterious of cyphers
unintelligible from the writer's not know
ing what he wanted to write, rather than
illegible through carelessness in writing.
When a countryman of Gustavus Vasa,
for instance, still alternating upon his
native hills, sends letter to his brother
in this country, and writing from memo

letters at that superscribes it ''Seederabst
lenco la" he has succeeded in mystifying
the average human mind considerably re-
garding the intended destination of his
missive. Not at all the post-Office clerk,
who at once sees that Cedar Rapids, Linn
County, Iowa." is meant. So, too, when
from the Bremen bag greasy packet
1utters out, addressed to "Hafte Lac Co,
ILL.," it is no doubt difficult to discern,
after the letters of the legend have been
evolved from the chaos in which stiff
fist and a villainous pen have left them,
that the packet is intended for some one
in Half Day, Lake County, Illinois,"
and thither it therefore goes. But when
the only address to be made out from an
other-and that by no means sure. so
vague are the forms of the letters-is
'Chollyhutville Co Ill.," then it is that
brain tells in the distributing business.
Brains finally result in q solution of the
palimpsest, and "Joliet, Will County, H.
linois," is the Interpretation thereof. In
like manner, "Verseaux incauque Co
America" is superscription which could
have emanated from nowhere else but
