LONDON, March IA.
There seems to have been an understanding
between the dIsafected Liberals and the
Tory party. The latter, to secure the greatest
amount OF opposition to the University bill,
had given out that its defeat should not oeca-
sion the accession of Tories to office. Some
of the Conservative leaders certainly rallied
the hesltating Liberals to oppose the bill on
the assurance that Tory ministry would be
impossible. Consequently, the leaders, such
as Lords Csrnarvon. Guthone and Hardy,
and the Marquis of Salisbury resolutely refuse
to accept office. The Conservative party Is
thus divided on the question OF the safety or
expediency of venturing to govern win q
largely hostile Parliament on general princi-
pies, although harmonizing, incldentally, on
this particular measure. should this con-
tinue, the Conservatives will maintain their
present attitude. 1t is more probable, how
ever, that the Tories will reconsider their
promise andj make an attempt TO govern,
counting on passing safely through the seq
sion. by bringing up only necessary business
bills. and not venturng on any measure IN
volvlng difference OF principle.

A Kentucky Double-Header.

Sylvester Bowman, of Claiborne
county, KY, undertook to bruise the
head of a six-foot serpent lately, but the
pesky serpent came near turning the
tables on Bowman. Another man helped
him out of the scrape, and the snake
was found to have a horn at the end of
it's tail a little over an inch and a quar-
ter long, shaped like a ROSTERS spur.
But what was still more astonishing, it
had two eyes in its tail, which, except
ing the horn, was shaped exactly like
the head, but was not SO large. Indeed,
to have seen the tail one would have
thought that it was the head, and that
the horn was its tongue. The horn was
very sharp. The snake seemed very
fierce at its tail-end, and endeavored to
strike everything that came near its tail.
Various experiments were made to as
certain whether it could see with the
eyes in it's tail, and it was demonstrated
beyond a doubt that it could. These
eyes had lids, which opened and shut
and cleaned with anger. Indeed, the
tail-head seemed far more fierce than
the other head. 1t was so fierce at both
ends that it was necessary to shoot it.
This statement was vouched for by the
minister of the place, the selectmen,
schoolmaster, and editor.

Siamese Cats.

The Pittsburgh Post says: "Mount
Washington can show something in the
cat line that we venture to assert can be
found nowhere else. A few days since
a cat belonging to George Cramer, a
butcher, gave birth to five kittens, all
formed together in various parts of the
body. This Siamese quintuplex condi-
ton of affairs, however, did not appear
to suit the feelings and comfort of the
mass, and a persistent struggle ensued
between the kittens to effect a separa-
ton, which has finally been made. AS
a consequence of the dissolution of the
union, some of the kittens have six legs
while others have but two. Those who
have seen two cats with their tails tied
together, and thrown over a line, can
imagine how desperately those infant
kittens struggled for liberty. Those that
survive (most of them are dead) exhibit
all the characteristics of the feline race
in general, but their condition does not
contribute additional weight to the
aphorism that union is strength as it
will require very careful nursing to
bring them safely out of their kitten
hood. The mother seems to regard the
curious freak with complacency, is
proud of her offspring, and, for aught
we know, credits herself with originality
in the production of something quite
out of the usual line in this business.
Had the kittens been secured in time,
and preserved, they might have made a
trip round the world as curiosities in
some travelling museum. Maj. Burn
nell ought to have them"

Practical Advice for Fishermen,

First-Find out if there are any fish
in the river to which you are going if
SO, get some one who knows the water
to show you where the fish lie and
when he shows them to you, don't you
show yourself to them.
Second-Don't imagine, if the fish
does not dart away that he has not seer
you; on the contrary, he is very likely
devoting his whole attention to you, and
preparing to start the moment danger is
imminent.
Third-If you are fishing with a fly,
and you pass it neatly three times over
him, and he refuses it, you need not
wait any longer he has seen your line
of invitation, and does not intend to
come.
Fourth-E you are above a fish when
you hook him, get below him as soon as
you can for if you pull him n instant
against the stream, and he is a heavy
fish, he will break his hold.
Fifth-Never throw a long line when
a short one will answer.
Sixth-Never mind what is said about
"playing your fish till he is tired -
put him in your basket as soon as you
can.
Seventh-Remember that everything
depends upon the way you begin your
acquaintance. IF you can prevail on a
fish to go down the stream a little way
with you, you will afterward have no
difficulty in persuading him to let you
nave the pleasure of seeing him to din
ner.
To these excellent maxims I beg leave
to add one of MIR. Stoddart's, especially
intended for bachelors, young and old
"Never fall in love with a woman by
the water side there are situations in
which every woman looks In angel.

Change of Color.

Sudden shocks occurring to human
beings have frequently changed the
color of their hair from black to white
in a single night. A physician of Ber-
Ina strong, healthy, and less than
middle-aged man-sent his wife and one
daughter to spend last summer at a
watering-place. The day that he ex-
pected a letter informing him of their
arrival, there came n saying that his
daughter had been taken sick very sud-
denly and was already dead. The shock
was terrible, and instantly his hair be-
came entirely gray. He had to visit
some patients that same afternoon, and
they scarcely recognized him. Their
peculiar actions revealed the change to
him. The other case was of a man 35
years old, living in the Netherlands.
He was n day passing the canal in
Rotterdam, where he saw a child strug-
Cling in the water. He plunged in and
brought it to land, but it was already
dead by the time he has rescued the
body. Bending over it to try to restore
life, he discovered that the dead child
was his own son. The blow, SO sudden
and unexpected, and coming upon him
when he himself was SO much exhaust
ed, turned his hair entirely gray, and
left him scarcely recognizable.

OLD HUMBUGs DIsoARDED.-Thank
heaven, the ld-school practice is pass
ing away. Ipecac, aloes, calomel, bis
tering, the lancet, and (worse than alp
medicated rum, have given place to a
new remedy, which bids fair to become
the universal medicine of mankind.
VINEGAR BIrTBRs is that remedy. 1t is
destined to take precedence of all other
curatives now before the world. The
pharmacopoeia and conspectus of the
regular Faculty contain nothing that
will compare with it. Every day hum
dreds of the sick are em~ancipating
themselves from systems of treatment
which entail great expense and do no
good, and are flying to this cheap and
absolutely certain means of relief. Dys-
pepsia, rheumatism, liver complaint,
periodic fevers, sick headache, kidney
diseases, constipation, ervou affec-
tions, and in short all maladies, acute
or chronic, which do not involve the
~irreparable injury of some vital organ,
are cured by this pure dnatcoholSc vege-
table restorative. ICON.

Want of Vitality.

If a deficiency of vital energy is not a disease in
itself it is a condition which lays the system open
to the attacks of all conceivable maladies. Night
rious influences. No atmosphere is entirely pure,
no water utterly free from injurious particles;
while in many localities both are positively I'M
wholesome. What defense has the weak, languid
system, in which the vital principle is.defcient or
dormant, against any of the morbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseasesp
None whatever. There is no safety save in artif-
cial reinforcement. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
have, beyond all question, a vitalizing effect. If
the nervous forces of the body have been reck-
lessly expended in exhausting physical or mental
labor, or dissipated in the indulgencies of a "fast'
life, this powerful vegetable tonic and corrective
will restore them. If the defective vitality is a
constitutional evil it can be remedied to a great
extent by this wond erful inyigorant. At a season
of the year when the air is more or less impreg-
mated with the seeds of periodic fevers, it is espe-
cially desirable that the digestion should be per-
feet, the habit of body regular. the liver active,
the blood pure and the nerves firm. These condi-
lions are the best protection against all disorders,
and they are conditions which the Bitters are
better adapted than any other medicinal agent to
promote and secure. See to it, however, that no
imitation or counterfeit is substituted for the gen.
uine article, and let all who value health and have
an antipathy to poison beware of the local bitters
made from condemned drugs and vilely adulter-
ated alcohol, which have sprung up like unwhole-
some fungi all over the country.

COlOred Jews.

In the city of Cochin, Hindostan,
says the Je1Oish Times, live some 1000
colored ~Israelites, whose skin is not SO
dark as that of the genuine Ethiopian.
They are Jews in every sense, worship
the God of their fathers, the only true
Jehovah, and are intellectually the su-
periors of the white inhabitants of the
place. According to their own account
their origin is as follows: The con-
quest of a portion of the East Indies by
the Europeans opened to commerce a
wide field and attracted a multitude of
spectators from all parts of the world.
Among these were many young Israel
ties from Bagdad, Bassorah and Yemen,
who came to make their fortune in the
new Eldorado. After they had settled
down they purchased from the negroes
black female slaves, many of whom
were afterward converted and then mar
ried by their masters. 1t was from
these marriages that the present race
descerds. Ancient Hebrew manuscripts
and law tables, written OF parchment,
have been found among the Cochin
Jews.
