A Fight with a Horse.

A teamster named Joe Allen, living
on Woodbridge street, East, purchased
horse in Genesee County few days
ago, and finding the animal ugly and
obstinate, he made preparations on
Sunday to break his spirit. Aiming
himself with heavy whip and club,
Allen went into the stable about ten
o'clock on Sunday morning and pro-
ceeded to business. The animal bit at
MIN as he tried to enter the stall, and
Allen stood back and "peeled" him
with the whip. The horse kicked and
paved for awhile, and then sagged
back, snapped the halter, and came out
on the floor with business look in his
eye which was truly appalling. Allen
retreated back after seeing an open
mouth snapped together about an inch
from his nose, and he just escaped two
feet intended to remove the the top Of
his head. BY shouting and whipping,
he frightened the horse back few feet,
and he then got under the stairs, where
for about half an hour, or until his wife
could gather a crowd, he was held pris-
oner, having all he could do to keep the
horse from dragging him out.-Detroit

THE GRAND PACIFIC HOTEL.

principal Dining Hall is 1876 by c5 feet; tho La
dies Ordinary 75 by rs feet; the Grand Parlor
100 by 25 feet the noble promenade, with ITS
Corinthian colonnade is 100 by 30 feet. The
kitchen, fitted up with the most approved ap-
plances Of the cuisine, is 140 by 60 feet. The
system Of protection against fire is perfect.
The floors are filed in with cement, and the
floor beams bricked in between partitions.
The house has its regular disciplined ire brl-
gade Of fifty trusty employees Standing iron
columns from the street, vast tanks III the
roof, the most powerful steam pump In the
city, with 5000 feet of hose always kept at
tached in various parts Of the house, tele-
graph fire alarm in every ROOM and the new
and perfect electric clock system OF Prof
Hamblet are among the appliances and safe
guards against confagration. From three hy-
drants on the roof the hotel force can protect
their own structure and help the safety OF ad-
Joining buildings. 1t would be difficult to sug,,
gest feature in great hotel which the drano
Pacific has not. The entire work Of carrying
the structure to completion has been for many
months in charge Of the lessees, whose repu-
tations and fortunes were made in the Sherman
House. destroyed in the great fire. Few stran-
gers will visit Chicago without making the
Grand Pacific one OF the principal lions OF their
visit. Twenty months have given chicago .
marvellous beauty in her new structures. which
in extent more than restore her former busi-
ness capacity. Her streets are now lined with
rail- blocks that are unsurpassed In variety
and richness in any city in the world. Oul
readers will thank us for the presentment Of
the largest and most striking structure OF all
the Grand Pacific, which. on the first day oi
June, 1873. opened it's doors to guests.

What We Need When DebiIitated.

Appetite and digestion larguish at this season.
At the very time when the body most needs reno
walton and support, the stomach. its commissaIiat
department, is opt to prove delinquent. Under
such cIrcuIn stances the necessity for wholesome
s,lmullnt tonic and corrective is selfevident, and
consequently the demand for that peerless combi
nation Of the three required elements, Hostetter's
Stomach BitteTs, is never more urgent than at
midsummer.
tits true that few medical bigots-fossils " left
over from this dark ages-recommend violent pur-
CATION and water Cruel as 4 cure for indigestion
and its accompanying ills; but they make Few
proselytes The majority Of the community are
sane snd all sane people are aware thata pure ana
powerful vegetable tonic with Alternative proper
ties like Hoststters Bitters is the only cure for
dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation, nervousness
and the " con nseqnential damages" they infict.
The human intellect, unless hopelessly diseased
or egreQiously humbugged, declines to astonish
the weakened human stomach with fierce cathar-
tics that rushing like an avalanche through the
intestines, threaten to take the inner membrane

SunstrOke.

Prof. Youmans, in the last Popula,
Science Monthly, furnishes some infor-
nation about sunstrokes with which
many persons are not likely to be famil-
lar. He says it may be experienced
without exposure to the direct rays of
the sun; it attacks people in hospitals,
vessels, and often in the night men in
bed, who have retired in napparent health.
1t is produced by exposure to artificial
heat, as in the laundry of hotel. Heat
is the principal exciting cause, but other
conditions aid it, as overcrowding and
insufficient ventilation, and exhaustion
produced by prolonged exertion. Want
of acclimatization is a predisposing
cause and spirit-drinkers are more liza.
BILE to 1t than abstainers. A victim OF
sunstroke should be taken Immediately
to the shade; outdoors is better than
indoors, on account of the ventilation
the clothes should be stripped from the
body, and the head, neck and chest
should be continually drenched with
cold water, until there is perceptible
diminution of the temperature of the
body. The patient should be encour-
aged to drink freely. To avoid sun
stroke, the function of the skin should
be kept free by bathing; hard labor in
a highly heated atmosphere should be
Stunned the dress worn should be
light and loose-ftting, and the hat light
and 80 made as to permit free circula-
tion about the top of the head.

Lebanon and the Shakers.

A correspondent of the New York
World, who has visited New Lebanon
and the Shakers, makes the following
statement:
The Shakers have greatly decreased
in strength. In fifteen years one-half
of their number have died or deserted.
They have few converts, and the larger
portion of the whole community are
aged members. Formerly they were
able to do all their work among them
selves, but now the greater amount Of
their labor is hired from outside. The
completion of the railroad-bringing
them into closer communication with
other people-has been their death
blow. They are doomed to pass gradu-
ally away, and I do not doubt but that
few years will see their fine large
buildings, fitted with all modern con-
veniences, used as boarding-houses for
summer visitors.

The Mound. Builders.

The work of the mound-builders in
the vicinity of Vincennes, Ind, is being
investigated at the present time under
the direction of Profs. Charlton, Town
send, and others. The exploration of
the largest one was begun by making
an entrance from the top, which is
to be carried down probably about sixty
feet. A local paper says. cat ten
feet below the surface bed of charcoal
was found, and below this there were
remains of bones, which were almost
completely decomposed, indicating their
great antiquity. As soon as touched
they fell into dust. Perhaps at a greater
depth bones may be exhumed which are
better preserved. The earth in the
mound is found to be exceedingly COM
pact and dry, we'll calculated to preserve
the bones, but they are in state OF al
most complete decay. This is proof
of great age, as human skeletons have
been taken from burial places in Eng
land which were much less favorable
for preserving them, and yet they were
sound and well preserved, though they
were known to be nearly 1000 years old.
The crumbling and decayed bones that
were exhumed from the mound
no doubt belonged to the old Toltec
race which inhabited this locality about
5000 years ago; and it is hoped that
some we'll preserved bones and other
remains representing that ancient race
may be exhumed from tEis mound.

One Of the most marked institutions Of the
outgrowth Of life in our larger centers OF
population is the great hotel, and no feature
is more notable and remarkable in new Chi
cago than the vast caravansaries that are to
make her the hotel city of the continent. The
largest Of these. and the largest hotel struc-
ture in the world is the Grand Pacific, cut
of which we give in this issue, at once the
pride and the marvel of the Garden City. Its
immense size and elegance are we'll indicated
in the engraving, and very reliable in suggest
iveness as to the appointments and adorn-
ments Of the interior. The Grand Pacific COW
ers an area of GA, 900 square feet, an entire
block. bounded by Clark, Jackson, LaSalle
and Quincy streets. Opposite, on Clark street,
is rapidly rising the vast Government building,
also occupying an entire square. The material
of the fronts Of the great hotel is the besuti-
full olve-tinted Ohio sandstone. The struc-
ture cost over one million dollars, and its fur
nshing by the lessees, Messrs. George W.
Gage, David A. Gage and John A. Rice, nearly
four hundred Thousand dollars, an expenditure
warranted by their twenty years lease, and
securing throughout richness, elegance and
solidity that will give enduring attractiyeness
TO the hotel, and carry its fame among travel
ers all over the globe. The carpets Of the
house. Administer, Aubisson, Wilton and En-
glish Brussels, are all in new styles, and large
" in special designs, and aggregate over st1
acres The beautiful carpets Of the corridors.

Cruelty.

A case, which in some respects will
call to mind that of Casper Hauser,
lately came under the attention of a
Russian court, wherein nobleman
named Kirill Michaelow Urusoff was
tried for iu-treatment of his son. The
nobleman, who was utterly given over
to drinking, had, from the boys earliest
childhood till his eighteenth year, sub
jected him to all sorts of violence, until
at last he became an idiot. The child
never had sleeping place, had been
clothed summer and winter with only
linen shirt and trousers, suffered the
extremities of hunger, thirst, and cold,
and, bound hand and foot, been beaten
by a drunken brute until almost dead
Shortly after the boys birth the mother
was driven from home by cruelty, and
died at last of consumption in hospi-
tai. The jury brought the wretch in
guilty, and he was sentenced to be de-
prived of all peculiar rights and privi-
ieges and ten years of exile in Siberia.

A Strange Sight at Sea.

Intheyear 17S5, the captain OF Green
land whaling-vessel found himself at
night surrounded by icebergs, and "lay
to" until morning. excepting every mo-
ment to be ground to pieces. In the
morning he looked about, and saw aship
near by. He hailed it, but received no
answer. Getting into boat with some
of his crew, he pushed out for the mys-
terious craft. Coming alongside the
vessel, he saw through the port-hole a
man at table, as though keeping log
book, frozen to death. The last date in
the log was 1852, showing that the
vessel had been drifting for thirteen
years among the ice. The sailors were
found, some frozen among the ham
mocks, and others in the cabin. For
thirteen years this ship had been carry
ing it's burden of corpses--a drifting
sepulchre manned by frozen crew.
