A Story for Some NeMsnaners.

There is Buddhist fable, with a
moral to it, which tells an amusing tale
of hog who fancies he has inspired a
lion with fear, and challenges him to
mortal combat. The lion fixes that day
week for the duel, and the hog, scam
pering back to his herd, proudly de-
clares that he is going to fight the lion.
The announcement is received with ter
ror, and the crestfallen hog takes the
advice of his friends to roll in dunghill
before encountering his dreadful foe
Accordingly on the fatal day our hero
presents himself before the lion armed
in panoply of filth, and the noble
beast, scorning to touch SO contemplate
foe, says: IF you want to fight, l
leave you the victory" The story adds,
with very dry hUlmor, that the hog told
his friends he had conquered the lion. y

A Washington correspondent thus ex
plains the meaning of Credit Mobilier T:
ssWhat is this Credit Mobilier they
are making such a fuss about down
stairs % said one man to another.
"Why," answered the other, with a
superior air, "don't you know? Some
of these Congressman went down to Mo-
bile last summer and ran up great bills;
and now they are making row because
the Mobiliers are after them to make

improvements contemplated. The latest
fire compilation of Boston places the
whole amount of land burned over at
1000, 525 feet The value of this land
was S24, 265, 200; of the buildings burnt,
$50, 745, 300; of the personal estate, $751;

S75, 291, $50. Five hundred and fifty two
separate estates and 999 firms were
burned out, The valuation of Boston
was 1852, 724, 800; hence the loss was
about tenth part of the whole. The
increase the last year was $40, $50 !;
hence the loss was about the same as

A NEW DEPARTURE IN MEDICINE
There are thew departures i'll medicine
as well as in politics. The latest and
most successful of these is the bold
movement of DIR. Joseph Walker, of Cal
ifornia, who has actually had the effrorit-
cry to produce a Vegetable Tonic and
Restorative, without any alcoholic basis,
which is curing disorders of the stomach,
liver, bowels, nerves and pulmonary or
gans, with rapidity that fairly entities
him to the anathemas of the Old School
of Physicians, and the praise and conf
dence of the New! His CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BTTTERs may be safely pro-
nounced the most popular remedy of the
age. When it is considered that this
now famous specific was introduced some
two years ago, its present sale, which is
at the rate of 100000 bottles per an
mum, can only be ascribed to its intrinsic
merits. It is believed that the history
of "patent medicines affords no exam
pie of a success so rapid and complete.
The community insists that this success
is thoroughly deserved, and we have no
inclination to dispute its dictum. The
Voice of the People, if not exactly that
of Omnipotence, is generally the voice
of Common Sense, and as they have had
ample time to take a sober second thought
on the subject, it may be assumed that,
in this instance, their opinion is credit
able to their sagacity.-[Com.
