The appetite is generally keener in winter than

begets an increased desire for food is apt TO de.

most aggravated cases of acute dyspepsia occur at
this season; and the best in fact the only way. to
control and cure them, is TO stimulate and tone

THE SAILOR


He had beer rear'd
Among the mountains, and he in his heart
Was half shepherd on the stormy seas.
OFT In the piping shrouds had Leonard heard
The tones Of waterfalls and inland sounds
OF caves and trees; and when tbs regular wind
Between the tropics hIld tkssteady sail,
And blew with the same breath for days and weeks,
Lengthening inviEibly It's weary line
Along the cloudleaE main, he, ia those hours
OF treaome Incidence, would often hang
over the vessels side, and gaze and gaze
And while the broad green ar d Sparkling foam
Rushid roun him, images and huiis wrought
In union with tn employment Of his heart,
He thus by feYorish passion cvercame,
Even with the organs Of his bodily eye,
Below him, in the bosom Of the deep,
Saw monntains-saw the forms OF sheep that grazed
On verdant hills-with dwellings among trees
And shepherds clad IN the same country gray
Which he himself had worn.

Russian Paper and Printing.

The specimens of paper and printing
exhibited by Russian manufacturers in
the last London international exhibit
ton are set down as greatly superior to
anything furnished by other countries,
even the English paper makers acl1nowl-
odging themselves completely surpassed
botn IN the variety and beauty of the
product. The Russian paper is espec-
tally remarkable in these respects, and
that at the same time is from 10 to 10
per cent. stronger than the paper made
bv tile English. In what is known as
commercial printing, the Russians are
also far ahead, the style of their work
exceeding anything ever attempted by
the English printers. In chromo-lith-
ography the contributions Of a st.
Petersburg firm likewise take the lead.
In fact, according to a report published
in the journal of the society of arts. it
appears that in everything relating TO
the manufacture of paper and the de-
tails of printing, the English are de-
plorable behind most continental couG-
tries, agd in the art of ornnmenting
papers might with profit serve an APP
premiership with the Japanese.

Churning.

During the process Of churning GER
tain uniformity of temperture must be
observed, or the butter viii be soft and
spongy instead of being firm and cem-
pact. The agitation, also, of the cream
must be regular-neither too quick nor
too slow. If the agitation is too quick
the butter will make and unmake itself
before the churner Is aware of it, as too
rapid motion induces lamentations
which, when it has reached a certain
point, is entirely destructive of any
thing like the possibility Of making
even moderately good or well-tasfing
butter. If, on the other hand, the mo-
ton be too slow, the agitaters in the
ehnrn fail TO produce the desired sepa-
ration Of the component parts of the
cream, and the consequences Is, that AZ
ter a good deal of time spent in laIy ae-
ton the churner IS just as far from his
butter as he was at the beginning Of his
lalpors. The best temperature for the
cream in churning is from fifty 70 sixty
degrees

EXTRAORDINARY CURES. - We have
read many accounts OF extraordinary
cures by DIR. WALKER's CALIEoRsIA
VREGAK BTFrERs, which have seemed
increditable. We are inckEed to be-
heve them, as many Of these who vouch
for them are persons whose veracity we
can guarantee. The newspapers TEEN
with testimonials of this character, and
there Is an air of particularly and of
truth about them which cannot be re-
sisted. One manifest superiority the
VDEeAR Buffers possesses over Other
Alternative and tonic preparations. It
contains none of the burning fluids with
which most advertised bitters are in-
pregnated. 1t cannot create fever. In
stead of elouding the brain, Il clears It
if clouded. Il is well known that alco-
hol, even of the purest description,
weakens and untones the stomach. IN
stead of bracing it, and is, therefore,
poison IN cases of Indigestion. Fancy,
then, what must be the effect of the
cheap fre-water employed in making
ordinary bitters and tinctures, on the
| weakened and inhamed digestive organs.
| VINEGAR BITTERs, on the other hand,
| soothes the stomach, while It increases
the appetite and relaxes the bowels.
| DR.. Walker is a regular physician, and
his remedies have just as much authori-
ty as any standard remedies of the fac
ulty. We believe they are destined to
become household medicine.

The LATE ROUGH WEATHER. -The remark
AMe spell of weather which has threatened to
reinstate Winter over large belt of the coun-
try for some days promises to pass off to-day.
The weather reports and other kilograms show
that movement of cold air has been progress
ing from the Rocky Mountains towards New
York and New England, and its passage over
Ohio, Pennsylvania and the lake region has
given US the strange sight of hail, sleet and
Bnow squalls, with temperatures that, if not
destructive to the crops and the fruit, will de-
lay them by at least fortnight beyond their
usual time of ripening and the extreme cold
of Winter is felt at the more Southern por-
lions of the country before it is in Canada and
The Northern States, but it is quite extraor-
binary to see its power prolonged to the close
of April in our latitude. Judging by the
latest reports that now reach US we may take
cheer and expect the present week to be much
more favorable for shopping and all out of
doors and business avocations than the past
two weeks have been.

Heavy Defalcation I'm the Atlantic
National Bank.

just as Wall street was about putting up
culation that the Atlantic National Bank, an
institution of moderate activity and fair repu-
tation, having its counting house in Nassau
street, nearly opposite the Post Office, had
been compelled to suspend In this respect
the rumor was literally an untruth, at least
for the day, as the Bank, desperately defying
the fate which circumstances afterward proved
must be inevitable, paid every dollar de-
mandad of it until the arrival of the hour of
three O clock, when it legally closed its doors,
as it could, against all claimants for the day.
The trouble is the old story of stock specu-
lation by the cashier and defalcation in his
accounts, the amount involved in this instance
being nearly half million. A curious
feature Of the affair is the deliberate conduct
of the cashier in disclosing his misdeeds.
With frankness which, under the circum-
stances, would almost argue the loss of the
mans wits, he proceeded to the Clearing
House, of which the Bank was member, and
coolly requested an investigation of his books
and an examination of the Bank affairs, stat
ing at the same time that he was a defaulter
in his cash account. A committee of the Clear
ing House acceded to his request and, as o
result of their labors, it was announced last
evening that the institution was bankrupt and
would not be able to resume on Monday. The
facts were telegraphed to the Comptroller of
the Currency, who has ordered the appoint
ment of q receiver In one sense therefore
the Bank has failed, and in another it has not.
1t was open and paid all claims up to three
o'clock yesterday. But the interval to ten
o'clock Monday morning is legal holiday for
the Bank, so that the action Of the Comptroller
Of the Currency looks upon the face Of it as if
he had appointed receiver without sufficient
legal reason. This controversy aside the de-
falcation of the cashier comes as a sermon
full of point this Spring Sunday, when our
several hundred metropolitan congregations
run their eyes over the decalogue at church
this morning and read its included command,
Thou shalt not steal" The Atlantic National
Bank, as its name implies, was of the national
system, and only few weeks ago made its
sworn statement of assets and liabilities. The
fact evokes another inquiry, Who was it that
broke the other commandment, "Thou shalt
not bear false witness, and how many more
OF the decalogue We're broken in this same
crime of defalcaton
