ola Man Cunard.

The noted Cunard Company is COM
posed simply of two or three grandchil
dren who have stepped into the shoes of
two or three children who stepped into
the shoes of a couple of old Scotch
fathers; for Burns and MacIvor were the
Cunara Company when it was born; it
was Burns and MacIvor when the origin
ators had passed away; it is Burns and
MacIvor still in the third generation
never has been out of the two families.
Burns was Glasgow merchant, MacIvor
was an old sea-dog who sailed ship for
him in early times. That vessel earn
ings were cast into a sinking fund; with
the money they built another ship, and
then another, and thus the old original
packet line from Glasgow to Halifax was
established. AT that time the mails were
slowly and expensively carried 10 English
Government vessels. Burns 4 MacIvor
and Judge Halliburton Sam Slick }
fell TO considering scheme of getting
the job of carrying these mails in private
bottoms. In order to manage the thing
they needed to be quiet about it, and
also they needed faster vessels, Hall
burton had a relative who was not
shining success in practical life, but had
an inventive head-name, Sam Cunard
he took his old jack-knife and a
shingle and sat down and whitfield

service; using q company uniformi re-
tiring superannuated and disabled men
and officers on permanent pensions, and
numbering its servants by hundreds and
thousands. In its own private estab
ishment in Liverpool it keeps four
thousand men under pay. That is what
Sam Cunard Whitfield out. That is TO
say, be Whitfield out little model for a
fast vessel it was satisfactory; he was
instructed to go and get the mail con-
tract, simply under his own namei he
did it, and the company became COM
monty known as the Cunard Company;
then the company tried steam and made
it work; they prospered, and bought out
Halliburton, and also Cunards little in

The Boston horse car companies
thought to circumvent their conductors
with little implement called an alarm
punch, which gave notice every time a
passenger paid his fare and registered
the number Of fares taken. This worked
well for time, and increased the re-
ceipts of the company to surprising
extent, but soon there was falling off,
and the old fashioned kind of detectives
had to be set to work to discover where
the screw was loose in the little alarmist.
1t was finally discovered that the con-
ductors had ingeniously cireumyented
their circumventers by carrying an ex-
ira punch wherewith they could produce
the customary tinkle without registering
the receipts Of fare.

A Dangerous Atmosphere.

The great atmospheric wave which, the meteorolo-
gsts tell U.S. sweeps the whole United States from
the Pacific coast at this season, is loaded with
wholesome vapors that chill the body and disturb all
its functions Precipitation is checked, the stomach
is deranged the bowels and the liver sympathze with
that organ the nerves and muscles are affected pull
monary complaints are engendered, and the spirits
are more or less depressed. These are among the
effects produced by the moist, ungenial winds
prevalent in the winter months But if the system is
toned and fortified in advance with Hostetters Som
ach Blters no danger need be apprehended from any
condition of the atmosphere. The i'll wind that
blows nobody any good" will not be likely to blow
any harm to him who strengthens and regulates his
internal organs with this wholesome vegetable tonic

suitable to the season. The seeds of fever and ague

EDITORIAL, OPINIoNs.-An advertise
ment is, as a general rule, an elaborate
eulogium on the merits of something
which the advertiser desires to sell. The
editors and publishers of the paper In
which it appears are not responsible for
its statements. Sometimes, however,
highly important discoveries or inVen-
tions announced to the world through the
business department OF the press, seem to
demand a few words of editorial COM
mendation. We have no hesitation in
saying that the excellent medicine intro
duced by DIR. Joseph Walker, of Califor-
MIA, under the name of VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, belongs to this category, and has
Just claim to a favorable notice. There
can be no doubt as to its utility as tonic,
stomachic and Alternative. We are cogni-
zant of many instances N which it has
cured cases of chronic dyspepsia, suppos-
ed to be incurable, and know that the es-
timation in which it is held as a remedy
for bilious and nervous disorders, inter
mittent and remittent fevers, rheumatism
and general debility is founded on exper-
fence, and well deserved. The testimony
of ga cloud of Witnesses goes to show
that it is eminently useful in large ma
iority of the disorders to which the hui
man family are subject. The fact that it
contains no alcohol commends it to the
confidence of that large and increasing
class of the community who insist that
all spirituous stimulants are active

Fruit Preparation.

Many kinds of fruit assert well with
dried apples-fret of all, canned ounces.
If not cooked very tender in canning,
they can be interlaid with the dried apple
in preparing them to stew, say in equal
quantities, or one-third ounce. Add the
sugar to the ounce as it is put in, and
cooked as already directed until tender.
This improves by keeping day or two
Dried or canned rhubarb, cherries,
peaches, canned green grapes, cranber-
ries, lemon-pulp and raisins are also good
with apples. Lemon-rind should never
be used, on account Cor the acrid OIL
Raisins need stewing much longer than
most apples. Valencias an hour in all,
and Malagas and Muscatels an hour and
half. This rule it is well to remember
in using raisins for any purpose It
makes them both richer and more digest
ihle. The previous partial cooking be-
fore putting them into other dishes is
called ''blanching" in cookery parlance.
Raisins, when thus we'll cooked, make
with lemons rich and snowy dish. Pare
the lemons three to pound Of raisins,
cut them in thin rings, and cook them
with raisins for the last half hour, sweet.
ening to the taste
If apples are spelling faster than they
can be used, put them up in cans already
emptied of other fruit-though for most
purposes they are better fresh, as, for ex-
ample, in plain rice pudding. Take, for
this one part washed rice and three parts
apple, dressed and chopped into quarter
inch pieces. Place a half inch layer of
the latter in the bottom of pipkin or
earthern jar, then scatter in rice, not
quite enough to hide the apples, and so
on, making them spend alike; then pour
on two parts water, or enough to fill the
mixture; cover close and bake in a me-
dunn oven an hour and quarter, or one
hour after it begins to boil. It can be
cooked on the top of the stove, but is La
BILE to burn. Dish in saucers, and
sprinkle sugar over it while hot, or dress
with sweetened cream or milk. Serve
warm. This is very plain, but good

in the convolusions of the brain. A man
in Elmira, N Y, struck his head against
beam, three years ago, and was render
ed insensible. He rapidly recovered,
prospered in business, and enjoyed per-
feet health until few days ago, when he
experienced acute pains in his head.
These soon passed away, he regained his
physical health, but his memory, from the
time he struck his head against the beam
to the present, is blank. He remembers
distinctly all that transpired up to the
time OF the accident, but is puzzled to
account for his two children born since
that time. He addresses his business
partner as the schoolmaster, which posi-
ton he held previous to the accident.
The case is curious one, and unaccount-

MANY persons say that they have tried al
most every remedy that has been recon-
now than when they commenced them, and
they have no confidence in anything that is
advertised to cure Salt Rheum, Erysipelas,
and all similar humors. We wonld say to
these that there is now remedy that as yet
has never failed of curing those diseases.
1t acts upon an entirely different principle
from ANYTHING ever offered for them; it

skin, which is the only channel through
which the system can be entirely freed from
them. If you win try it, you will not say of
