Paddy complains of his poll-tax, but

But never mentions his tobacco and

A LITERARY curiosity will appear
shortly, in London, in the shape of

This is the first intimation the world has

A RECENT description of the Empress
Eugene speaks of her as slim and
stately as well as tall. Her complexion
is fresh, apparently, and has escaped

lant, and piercing.
The turban, which, for 90 many CEN

The German Government has decided
TO carry oIt series of experiments in

England. A new navigable air-balloon
IS also to be tested shortly, and it is
proposed to make experiments with vari-
'us explosive powders during the artil-
cry maneuvers in demolishing the
works at Glandenz. There is some idea,
llso, of constructing iron-clad railway
rains, armed with heavy guns, after the
model of those used by the French dur

New England has, at least, one large
farmer. Frye Tillotson, of Oxford, N.
H., has 800 acres lying in the valley
Of the Connecticut river. He keeps 30
cows, and has made 100 cheeses the
past summer, averaging 45 pounds each.
He has this fall fattened and sold 4S old
hogs and 40 shotes. The old hogsaver-
aged 40 pounds dressed, and the shotes
30 pounds. He had sixty acres of corn
the past season, and fed to the hogs
1000 bushels. He cuts about 800 tons
of hay annually, making saving, as he
believes, of one-third by this process.
HIS cows are mostly natives. He has
eut ). 30 cords of wood and sold it to
the Passumpsic Railroad Company
during the past year. He has a steam
sa~-mill, in which he sawed over 1,OOO,-
40 feet of lumber, all from logs out of
his own land ANA with all this care on
his mind he laughs and grows fat. His
cheese factory cost g, 800, and it takes
only two men to run it. He employs in

A Dangerous Atmosphere.

The great atmospheric wave which, the mctcsr-
ologists tell us, sweeps over the whole United
States from the Pacific coast Mt this season, is
loaded with unwholesome vapors that chill the
body and disturb all its functions. Precipitation is
checked, the stomach is derangcd, the bowels and
the liver sympathlzc with that organ, the nerves
and muscles arc affected pulmonary complaints
are engendered, ard the spirits are more o. less
depressed. These are among the common effects
produced by the moist, ungenial winds prevalent
and fortified in advance with Hostettcr's Stomach

Singular Monomania.

The Court Journal gives q singular
account of a servant girl who seems to
have acquired such relish for pins and
needles as to be unable to resist the
temptation to swallow them. Apparent
" she has a constant craving for this
unusual diet. Once, when hanging out
some clothes to dry, she accidentally
swallowed quantity of pins she kept
in her mouth. Some unpleasant symp-
toms appearing, she went to hospital,
whence, after vomiting twenty.eight
pins, she returned to service. After q
while the former symptoms returned:
She was sent again to the hospital, and
there no less than seventy-eight pins
and sixteen needles have been taken
from her body. The greater part OF
these she vomited, but some were taken
out through her skin on different parts
of her person. The needles in particu-
lar indicated a decided inclination to
wander through the body, several being
taken out about the face, neck, and
arms. One was taken out below the
ear, with long thread after it, and an
other came out in three pieces, the bro
ken parts following close in each others
wake. The pins included a large one,
nearly the size Of darning-needle, and
"safety" one.

Falls into an Old Mine.

At Bakers coal mine, near Cleveland,
Ills, the house OF a miner named
Robert Spargo stood directly over an
old chamber of the mine. The earth
under the house suddenly sank, causing
the dwelling to drop into the cavity four
or five feet. Mrs. Spargo and four
children were gathered about stove in
one of the rooms. The floor gave way
and the stove went into the cavity be-
low, and the mother and her children
were precipitated upon it and the fire
which had fallen out Of it. Several
men working not far distant saw the
house sink, and ran toward the place,
but before they reached the house the
screams of Mrs. Spargo and the child
ren, and the smoke which was pouring
out of the house, told them of the hor-
rible situation. The mel rushed into
the yard, took water from some barrels,
entered the house, and succeeded in
extinguishing the fire about the woman
and her little ones. But one child, q
girl in her fourth year, was burned to
death. Another, younger than the de-
ceased, was burned so that she died next
day. Mrs. Spargo and the other two
childre4 were burned in a frightful
manner, though at last accounts all
three were living. The clothes of all
were burned, their hands were singed,
and the flesh on their faces and bodies
bhstered. All were taken to the house
of a neighbor, and everything possible
was done to alleviate their suffering,
but the saving of any of them was

EXTRAORDINARY CURES. - We have
read many accounts of extraordinary
cures by DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BrrrERs, which have seemed
incredible. We are inclined to believe
them, as many of those who vouch for
them are persons whose yeracity we can
guarantee. The newspapers TEEN with
testimonials of this character, and there
is an air of praticularity and OF truth
about them which cannot be resisted.
One manifest superiority the VINEGAR
B1TrERs possesses over other Alternative
and Tonic preparations. 1t contains
none of the burning fluids with which
most ADVERTISED Bitters are impregnat..
ed. 1t cannot create fever. Instead OF
clouding the brain, it clears it if cloud
ed. It is well known that Alcohol, even
of the purest description, weakens and
untones the stomach instead of bracing
it, and is, therefore, poison in cases OF
Indigestion. Fancy, then, what must
be the effect of the cheap Fire-,oater
employed in making ordinary Bitters
and Tinctures, on the weakened and IN
famed digestive organs. VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, on the other hand, soothes the
stomach while it increases the appetite
and relaxes the bowels. DR.. Walker is
regular physician, and his remedies
have Just as much authority as any
standard remedies of the faculty. We
believe they are destined to become
household medicine.-Cona.

Facts in Natural History.

The rattlesnake finds superior foe
in the deer and black snake. When
ever q buck discovers a rattlesnake in a
situation which invites attack, he loses
no time in preparing for battle. He
makes up within ten or twelve feet of
the snake, then leaps forward and aims
to sever the body of the snake with his
sharp bifurcated hoofs. The first onset
is most commonly successful. but if
otherwise, the buck repeats the trial
until he cuts the snake in twain. The
black snake is also more than an equal
competitor against the rattlesnake.
Such is the celerity, both in running
and entwimng itself around its victim,
that the rattlesnake has no way of es-
Gaping from its fatal embrace. When
the black and rattlesnakes are about to
meet for battle, the former darts for
ward at the height of his speed, and
strikes at the back Of the neck of the
latter with unerring certainty, leaving
q foot or two of the upper part of the
body at liberty. In an instant he en-
circles him within five or six folds; he
then stops and looks the strangled foe
in the face, to ascertain the effect pro-
duccd upon his corseted body. If he
shows signs of life, the coils are multi
piled and the screws tightened, the op-
orator all the while Watching the coun-
tenance of the victim. Thus the two
remain thirty or forty minutes the ex-
ecutioner then slackens one coil, notic-
ing at tie same time whether any signs
of life appear if SO, the coil is resumed
and retained until the incarcerated
wretch is completely dead. The moe
casin snake is killed the same way.
