An Amusing Experiment.

The gas of our cities can be lighted by frictional electricity, excited by lady's ordinary fur huff. Thus: place four tumblers, upside down, upon the floor or carpet, and upon these lay a board or other substance to stand upon, within reach of the burner.
 Upon this insulated board let @ per- son stand, and 8 second person take the huff and rub it number of times down the back of the coat of the first, by which he or she (if it be lady with woolen shawl on) will become charged with electricity sufficient to light the gas with the tip of the finger as effectu- ally as if done with lighted match.
 To perform the experiment we'll re- quires three persons, one to turn on and off the gas, for if done by the per son insulated and charged he will not only receive shock, but discharge the electricity before applying it to the gas A number of persons can participate in the amusement at the same time by in sulating themselves and joining hands.
 Let the friction of the huff be ap- piled to the person furthest from the burner until all become charged, and the person at the other extreme can light the gas, all feeling sensible shock at the time of igniting or dis charge of the fluid.

Mir. Stewards Hotel,

It is rumored, says New York paper, that MT. A. T. Stewart has been ad- vised to abandon the project of opening his grand hotel for women, as he intend ed, on the ground that the plan is in- practicable, and that bringing thou sand women of different ages and con- ditions together, under any durable conditions, will open the way to serious abuses, which will go far towards neu- tralizing the benefits of the plan. Lit tie work has been done on the magnif- cent building for some time, and occa- sionally passenger on the cars points it-out as MT. Stewards folly. On many accounts it is to be hoped that MT. Stew arts original plan, with whatever modi- ficat1ons may be found necessary, will be carried out under his own immediate supervision. The experiment is impor- tant enough to deserve trying.

Disease RecOils

From the system that has been invigorated and regulated by Q course of that most benehcient of all elixirs, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Such, at least, is the inference compelled to draw from the testimony of thousands of persons resid ing in unhealthy districts, who attribute their escape from the epidemic and other complaints which prevail there in the spring and autumn solely to the of this great protective and pre- ventive medicine. Many western and southern farmers and planters, as invariably as they SOW and plant in the spring and and gather in tho fill administer it at those to tn cir families and empl yes, and take it themselves three times districts bordering the Mississippi, Ohio and Arkansas Rivers is immense; and wherever the natural conditions are h as to generate inter- mtttent and remittent fevers it held in the high est esteem, both antidSte to the atmos pheric virus which provokes them, and as a swift and certain remedy for those distressing forms of dis ease. It is almost unnecessary to say that this renowned tonic and renovator is now generally accepted as a standard specific for indigestion, bidousness, nervous distemper, Iheumatism, physical weakness and mental despondency, not only by public at large but by all reudiced has of course led to many commercials and imita- tions, against which the community are requested Hto be on their guard.

Rights in Life Insurance.

No little discussion is going on rela- tive to the question: Is the widow of a suicide entitled to his Life Insurance or rather does the insured party vitiate his insurance policy by the act of taking his own life. Much doubt is expressed pro and con on the subject by the au- thorities. By some it is conceded that the very act of suicide, no matter what the circumstances may be, is orineo facie evidence of insanity, and verdicts have been rendered in accordance in more than one instance. Others, while they declare that suicide is the effect of a mental disease, as much may truly be said of many other crimes, insist that whena man takes out policy manifestly with the view of committing suicide, and of thus securing to his heirs the benefits he is unable to procure by other means, the act, although entirely self-sacrifcing, is palpable fraud, not so much on the company as on its policy-holders who constitute the sub. stance of the organization, and in fact mutually insure one another under cer. tain conditions.
 Not long since @ singular case oc cured Tn Canada, bearing upon this subject. A man who had committed $ heinous crime and escaped, had large policy upon his life. The officers were in close pursuit, and it was paluablJ evident that in few hours the crimina wonld be within the prison walls. Al most at the moment of arrest, he placed 8 pistol to his head and blew out his brains. The insurance company de clined to pay the policy under the cir cumstances, and litigation ensued. The court ordered that the full amount O. money be paid, and it was paid to tht wife and family of the suicide. In thil case the verdict was that the man wal insane when he took his own life into his hands.

Young Women vs. Young Men.

Throughout Germany, wherever females can be employed to advantage, they are taken in preference to young men. At Munich the clerks and book keepers in the banks are nearly all young and handsome girls. At the depots, many of those who attend the windows for the sale of tickets are girls, and the cashiers in all the cafes and restaurants are of the same sex. They are generally very expert at figures, and in mental arithmetic have no su- periors. In view of the fact that so many females are employed in the rougher and harder descriptions of la- boring work, it speaks well for the sex that they are seeking and securing more desirable and lucrative emploYment.

MatrimOny.

All young men and most young women are interested in this subject, as it is condition in life to which all look forward, and hope to at tain but if young man is wise he will not take upon himself the responsibilities of married life until he is in condition to provide to a certain extent for his wife and children when he is called away from them. In all cases this can be done by means of policy of Life In surance, moderate annual payment giving the family of the insured comparatively large amount at his death. One of the safest and best of these companies is the Penn. Mutual Life Insurance Company of Philadelphia. Poli. cies may be obtained or agencies secured by application to the home office. or to I. W.

Contributions to a Scalp.

A young lady who had her scalp torn off by an accident in New Haven recent ly is reported to be doing finely. The Journal and Courier says: ''The phy- sicians have found thirteen persons will ling to part with small piece of their cuticle, and the medical gentlemen have placed the contributions on the head of the patient with gratifying results: As one after another volunteers to let the doctor clip off piece of skin, the num- Der of those willing to do likewise in- creases, and it looks as if the girl would have scalp and head of hair again. The younger physician attending first set the laudable example,"

Catternillar Poison.

The farmers of Florida have recently been trying highly recommended Cat erpillar Poison. It seems to be high ly effective article. It not only kills the caterpillars but the COWS, who eat grass or cotton in the field where it has been applied. It acts with the same fatal efficacy upon mules. Moreover, if the chickens eat of the worms after their decease, there is death to any ex- tent in the hen-house. In fact, the powder overdoes the matter, and if ii were possible for deceased caterpillars to smile sarcastically, every one of them would now be upon the broad grin fol verify they have their revenge.

A MORAL POINTED WITH THISTLE SEEDS story is told of woman who freely used her tongue to the scandal of others, and made confession of what she had done. The confessor gave her a ripe thistle-top, and told her to go out in various directions and scatter the seeds, one by one. Wondering at the penance, she obeyed, and then returned and told her confessor. To her amaze ment, he bade her go back and gather the scattered seeds; and when she ob- iected that it would be impossible, he replied that it would be still more diff cult to gather up and destroy all evil reports which she had circulated about others.

A VILLAGE DESTROYED. - A letter from Sydney, 0. B., says that the set clement of West Bay, on the Grand Lake, was almost demolished by the late gale. On one side of the bay only about six houses are left standing. In the settlement of Baydale, twenty houses were blown down. In this set clement, one family seems to have been remarkable sufferers. Finding their own house gone, they fled to that of a neighbor, when in very short time the latter house took fire, and both families had to flee and take refuge in a greenhouse till morning.

The In-Fated Vessel Found Sunk In
 Nino Fathoms of Water. &
 The United States steamer Juniata has arrived at St. John, N. F., from her search after the steamer Polaris and her crew. The Polaris is sunk near Littleton Island. Buddington's party left for the south in the middle of June, in two boats constructed from the ill., fated ship.
 On the 14th of August the Tigress passed Cape Alexander and Port Foulke. It was now all daylight and a rock in the vicinity of Cape Olsen was now recognized by Captain Tyson as the same that hid the Polaris from the view of the party on the ice foe." At this place human voices was heard, and boat was lowered and proceeded to the shore. A crowd of Esquimaux, consisting of five men, two women and two children, greeted them on their arrival at the shore, where they found house, abandoned and presenting in- teriorly scene of the widest confusion :; broken instruments lay on the floor, while the remains of mutilated log book were scattered about in every di- rect1on.
 The Esquimaux had come from Ponds Bay and had remained with the Bud diHgton party all winter. The house contained store-room, ships galley stove, and tables and chairs, taken from the Polaris. There were fourteen hunks ranged along each side of the chief apartment. The party from the Tigress picked up what curiosities they could and returned to the ship.
 The Esquimaux pointed out the spot where the Polaris had sunk, and stated that Captain Buddington had given them the ship but that when the ice broke, in the middle of July, she foated into small cove and went down. A small iceberg had grounded on the wreck, which lies in about nine fathoms of water Two months before Budding ton and his party left in two boats for the south, and it is hoped they were picked up by some whaling ship.
 TRY Ir.-A Tonic and Alterative medicine, the invigorating and regula- ting properties of which actually length en life, and add to the capacity for it's member of the community. No invalid who has had recourse to Dr. Walker s VINEGARB1rTERs will hesitate to concede to it these invaluable qualities. It is a stomachic and corrective of unrivaled efficacy, yet being free from alcohol, it is not a,a ercito,at. Its anti-bilious operation is more direct, speedy, and certain than that of any of the danger ous mineral salivants, and as an aperi- ent, it gently removes any Instructions that may have accumulated in the low CT intestine, without producing either irritation or pain. In fact, it's wonder full remedial effects are upacconepo,aied by any draaOback. Of all medicines, ii is the most harmless and salubrious. As an appetizer, it is far ahead of any of the alcoholic nostrums that momen. tarily stimulate the palate i; while as g means of renovating weak and torpid stomach, it stands alone among modern | remedies.-COn1.
