A man who observes the ordinary
rulessof health and is careful every day
that he obeys the demand of his body
for exercise and the requirements of
his mind for relaxation will not only
stand a large amount work, but VIII
continue to, a good old age to fulfill the
duties of life. Men break down in mid
die life not because they are over
worked but on account of their igno-
rance of the imperative demands of
their physical system. In some cases
it is not Ignorance of these demands
but wilfulI neglect of their duty to
themselves. Not long since a mer-
chant, hearty and apparently strong,
was taken i'll, and his doctor pronoun-
ced it a case of over work. Perhaps the
doctor thought so, but if he had in
quired closely into the habits of the pa
tient he would have found that it was
not over work, but gross abuse of him
self. Confined in a close apartment
ten hours q day in the business season,
eating trash at cheap restaurants, or
not eating at all during the daytime.
at night making a late meal, retiring to
bed with load of indigestible food, to
wake up in the morning feeling heavy
and seeking relief by some invigorating
cordial, the merchant finally yielded to
these personal assaults, and the doc
tor pronounced It case of over work.
Men do not guage themselves as they
should. The engineer who would at
tempt to carry a hundred pounds of
steam when he knew his boilers were
only guaged for seventy would be pro-
nOunced an idiot, but sensible men to-
day are carrying pressure which their
common sense should tell them is not
only above the limits of their brain
power, but is beyond the average of or
binary men. When they break they 90
to pieces mentally and live sad monu-
mehts of the folly of men who will not
obey what is almost intuitively taught
by the very body which they injure.s It.
is more remarkable than we see these
instances of failure and yet heed not the
example. We think we are to be ex-
empt from such results, but each day
the story is told again and again.
Instances are not rare Of men who
appear to lead an industrious life, and
rarely know sickness. They work hard,
but do not appear to be over worked.
When You meet such case if you will
inquire closely you VIII find that he is
a man who takes his meals regularly,
has his seven or eight hours sleep, does
moi. ogereat, is not intemperate in the
use of anything, and takes his rest as
he goes along. We are like 1ocomo-
tives. We need oiling all the time, not
once a week or once q month. When
you Ioyerheat locomotive by overuse,
you take the temper out of it, and it is
used up. 1t is the same with men, wo-
men and children. When shall we grow

CALIFORNIA; BIGGEST NUGGET. How
much we owe to California Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands
of our fellOw-citizens, and have proved
the main stay of America in times of
national pecuniary embarrassment. Her
mining industries have given employ
ment to myriads of mechanics and labor
ers. She is the land of promise to the
fortune seeker. But the Golden State
has lately sent us a new treasure. Her
last nugget is DIR. Walkers California
Vinegar Bitters. The heaIth-giving
principles contained In this curative are
a more precious boon than gold. In all
affections of the liver and stomach. re-
mittent and intermittent fevers. rheu-
matism, and pulmonary diseases, it may
be relied upon. As a blood depurent
and invigorant it is unequaIed, purify
ing the circulation and infusing new
Ugor into the debilitated frame. It
cOnquers that most unyielding OF all
complaints, dyspepsia, and we know of
no other remedy that can accomplish
this. It's entire freedom from alcoholic
spirit, which retards and neutralizes the
effect of any medicine, and which forms
the basis of many of the pseudo bitters
and tonnes, doubly enhances its value to
the sick. The papers of the United
States vie with one another in doing
honor to DIR. Walker. We, too. add
our voice, and say all honor to the man
whose science and skill have enabled
him to draw from the vegetable kingdom
such balsam for human suffering.

A Despicable Mule,

The negro and mule are inseparable
companion sin the southern cotton fields,
and, like the Hiawathean string and bow,
useless each without the other. The
lazy indifference and careless cruelty of
the oney and the wonderfuI power of
endurance of severe labor, bad treat
ment, and neglect of the other, CON-
plete the compatibility Of the two races
necessary for the production OF four
millions of bales. A characteristic
anecdote may be relished by those who
have had experience of the two. The
spectators had taken refuge from the
suns perpendicular rays under the
shade Of spreading beech, and lay en-
ioying the ftful breezes and the sonabre
frothiness of the country newspaper.
Along the dusty road came jogging a
negro, mounted on mule, ,both appa-
rently fast asleep. AS the somnolent pair
approached the'spot, some wicked sprite
of the place gave the paper a flirt, which
was no sooner seen and heard than the
mule, as mules only lnow,how instantly
snapped ends" and leaving the negro
sprawling in the dirt, took his departure,
under full sail. The negro, half raising
himself, and wiping the dust from his
eyes and mouth, watched the retiring
mule for some time in silence, but at
length, unconscious of an auditor, gave
expression to this phhosophic seIiIoquy

DIR. j. Walkers California Vim
egar BitterS are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
MIA, the medicinal properties of which
are extracted therefrOm without the use
of Alcohol. The question is almost
daily asked, "What is the cause of the
unparalleled success of VINEGAR BE-
TERs?" Our answer is, that they remove
the cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They are the great
blood purifier and a life giving principle,
a perfect Renovation and InvigOratOr
of the system. Never before in the
history Of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of VINEGAR BTTTsRs in healing the
sick of every disease man is heir TO. They
are gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Yisceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of DIR. WALKER's
VINEGAR BITTERs are Aperient, DiaphOretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,

Care Of Newly-Planted Trees.

E
AS hot weather approaches all newly
trasplanted trees require -mulching. In
most cases mellow earth forms the best
mulch; and if circle about the tree
several feet apart in diameter, is kept
clean and well cultivated the moisture
in the soil will be maintained, and
fine growth will be the result An ad-
ditionaI mulching will be necessary on
very dry soils, or in an unusual dry
season. Young cherry trees form an
exception, and they should always be
mulched before the hot weather of sum-
mer After having been well set out
and commenced growing, the leaves Of
ten wither and the trees die under hot
suns. Several inches of old straw or
grass timely under the tree Will save
it. The muiching should never be
omitted with cherry trees the first year.
Watering trees should never be en-
ployed, except in extreme cases. The
practice destroys many more trees than
it saves. IF they are well set and the
earth kept mellow, they will not need
it. A neighbor set out thirty cherry
trees and watered fifteen. Those mot
watered all lived; large number of
the watered trees died IN consequence
of the hard crust which the water
formed on the surface, while none
reached the roots foot below. If wa
ter is ever applied to young tree, the
surface earth should be first shoveled
away, SO that it may at once reach the
roots, and the mellow earth then re-
placed. But even here the intermit-
ting supply thus given is not as good as
the uniform moisture preserved by
keeping mellow bed of earth.-COuya-

Gunpowder in the arts of Peace.

The application of gunpowder to the
process of pile driving has come into
considerable use in England, its work
ings have demonstrated that consider
able saving is effected both in time and
cost, as compared with Che ordinary
method of pile driving. ~ .-i'
This apparatus is described as an or
binary pile-driving engine, having a
ram from the upper and under side of
which q plunger projects. The ram is
fitted with an arrangement by which it
may be retained at any desired height
above the pile head A cast iron cap,
having a hole in, its centre, into which
the lower olunger of the ra1a VIII fit,
is placed on the top of the pile to be
driven, and IN the hole is inserted a
small charge of powder. On the ram
being released, the lower plunger enters
the hole in the cap, COMPRISING the air
within, generates heat, watch ignites
the gunpowder. Z. Ia = tt[f .
The force of the explosion is utilized
partly in driving the pile downward and
partly in throwing the ram upward, Che
latter being detained at the required
height, ready for the next blow. Should
the ram be thrown too high, the upper
plunger enters an. air cylinder, com
pressing the air and eushioning the
blow. A self-acting feeding arrange
ment supplies ammunition automaticaI-
ly after every shot

The steamship Atlantic, after having
successfully encountered violent storms,
was wrecked when almost in sight of
the harbor she was seeking. MANY a
man has acquired a fortune by patient
industry, and lost it at the last, leaving
his family destitute. It follows that
every man should insure his life. Life
insurance affords absolute protection to
the family. Be careful to select a good
company, one that you can always de-
pend upon. The New York Life Insur-
ance Company offers every inducement
to insurers, having assets amounting to
SO, 600, 600, and every desirable form of
policy. Full particulars can be had by
addressing the home Office at $40 and
34S Broadway, New York, or by calling
on one of their agents. Good agents
wanted everywhere.

Recipe for Good Bread.


Choice white winter wheat is best,
but good spring wheat will do. Grind
so as TO have the bran cut fine. Use no
bolt or sieve. Mix the meal with pure

bread pans, such as are readily TO be
had at large hardware storesy they are
shallow, oval cups, about dozen cast
in one plate. Heat the pan well, then
put in the batter, and bake in a quick
oven, say, in twenty minutes. The
cakes, sometimes called q geIns'', will
be light, taste good, and be healthy,
and may be eaten warm with perfect
impuhity. The heat of the. oven and
pan suddenly coagulates the gluten of

A VALUABLE LOAD OF Bricks. An
important shipment of silver bars were
made by the Swansea silver smelling
and refining company, last week, from
the banking office of Adam Smith &
Son. The shipment consisted of 149
silver bricks, which contained 1892
ounces of pure silver and 5000 ounces
of gold, and was valued at SIG, COO. The
work was the product of seven days
smelling at the works, which are now
turning out $40, 600 worth of gold and
silver every day. A shipment equaling
in. value this one is made each Satur-
day TO the United States assay office in
New York, where the bricks are again
smelted, and whatever good they con-
tain extracted The bricks are sent
through in the care of the American ex-
press company, and are not encased or
protected IN any way. In looking at
them one would be easily deceived as to
their weight and value. The I49 bricks
shipped last week made load which
two large horses hauled with difficulty.

NIoKEL.-Within the past three years,
more especially since the discovery of
practical methods for electro plating
with nickel, the demand for this metal
has greatly increased, and its price has
advanced. It has risen from 81 to SO 70
per pound, and its expense has become
so great that a substitute for it in the
art is now sought A good substitute,
il is stated, may be found in the metal
manganese. DIR. Percy, in letter TO
the London Times, states that twenty
years ago he made an alloy, in which
manganese was used in place of nickel,
and the resemblance of the alloy to the
ordinary German silver was perfect.
Copper 70 per cent, manganese 25 per
cent, makes an alloy resembling Ger
man silver, and better in its quelities.
