A Lightning s' Nine. ]"

The Detroit Free Press says: On Mon
day afternoon, when the heavy thunder
shower came up, two DetrOiters were flsn-
ing at Sandwich, and they took refuge IN
the Custom-house building on the rock.
Seven other persons also took rafuge In
the same building, making nine sln there
when the storm broke. Everybody In the
city will remember what q heavy crash oc'
CURED abont three O'Clock. and 1t was TINS
particular thunderbolt which went for the
Is picked nine'' in the building. They
were talking among themselves, when tne
first thing they knew they dldn.t Know %
anything, as the saying is. A nag-pole
about ten feet long was fastened to the
roof of the office, and the lightning struck
and ran down this, tore hole through
the roof. and then paid its respects to the
fishermen. None of them knew that the
building had been struck, or that nash
and shock had occurred. Each Of them
was struck dumb, az 1t were, for longer
or shorter time. Henry B. Quincy, an
old comp" awoke to find himself
astride Of a salt barrel, several feet from
where he had been standing. There was
a tinpling sensation all through him, max
ing hts nerves feel like wires, and ne
could not find his voice for two or three
minutes after he was able to look around.
Hugh Martin, proprietor OF the CONNER
ciai Dining-rooms, on Griswold street,
saws he thought powder explosion had
occurred. He was lifted up and nung
against the wall with considerable force,
and then everything was blank for min
ute or two. ...=...----,-.
Every other man in the house was SIM
ilarly treated, some being even more
roughly used, but after three or four min
utes seven of the nine got upon their feet,
and found themselves still alive. Ine tWo
others were senseless. One OF them
named Mike Dumford, was lying IN INT
second room on his back. and the otne1
was fat On the floor, and bleeding q tn.
both were dead, and it was full two hour
T before Young Sharp recovered sufficiently
to be taken across the river.

ner and Schurz. It is we'll known that
both of these eminent gentlemen claim to
be as sound Republicans as they ever
were, and the question which must soon
come before Republicans of the Senate is
Shall they be recognized as Republicans
and be placed on the leading committee,
In accordance with their great abilities
There are indications that some of the
more broad and generous Republicans in
the Senate would like to ignore the past
and welcome Messrs. Sumner and Schurz
back to their old places. However this
may be, | think it is true that they will
find that much of the old feeling against
them in the Senate has faded out. # is
evident that if Mr.. Summer lives, Massa-
chuset's will return him to the Senate
next year, and the Administration will
not care to occupy a position of antago-
nlsm towards the Republicans of that state
Probably Mr.. Sumner will have no more
to say in public against the President,
especially as he is faithful to the cause of
equal civil rights The people of his own
state, after his elaborate criticisms upon
Gen. Grant, voted overwhelmingly that,
with all his faults, they were willing to
make him President. Next year they will
also vote that, spite Of Mr.. Summers faults,
they prefer him for senator to anybody
else. Is it too much, under such circum-
stances, to ask both President and senator
to bury the past and unite in the support
of principles vital to the we'll being of the
nation2
The Louisiana question will come up
again IN Congress this winter, and in the
House it IS likely to embarrass the organi-
z%ation' for the Clerk will be puzzled to
know which set of claimants to put upon
the official roll. If he omits to put any
there, the friends of the respective delega-
tlons will move that they be allowed a
place and, if he recognizes one delega-
ton, to the rejection of the other, 1t will
lead to immediate discussion on the sub
iect. 1t is rumored here that the ClerI,
who holds over till THE new House is or
gained will recognize to Pinchback Kel
IOgg government as the one whose creden
tials are entitled to recognition. If h
does so, 1t will be or the ground that the
President and the courts of Louisiana re.
cognlze the Kellogg government and HI
will consider this as comforting a primc
facic title, while the question on its merit.
will be handed over to the House for {
final decision hereafter. D. w. B.

The Fair given by the st. Mary
Society for the benefit of the poor of
their organization came off Saturday
and Sunday, the 5th and 9th in
stants, and was quite a success,
financially and otherwise. Fully ap-
preciating the good object in view,
the entertainment was attended by a
number of our white citizens, who
materially assisted by their generous
expenditure in furthering the cause
of the Society. The vacant lot on
Iberville, between Lessard and st.
Patrick streets, was used a. Il fair
ground. To the right, as you entered,
was enc Of the bars kept by Messrs.
Andre Neptune and Charles Randall,
two well known and highly respected
colored citizens of this place, who at
tracted much custom by their pop
ularity. Directly opposite this bar,
on the left of the entrance, was

their establishments to be the popular
resort Of the gentlemen present. Ad-
joining this bar was the Fruit Table,
under the control OF Miss Julia Smith,
who was undoubtedly the belle of the
fair grounds she was ably assisted
in caring for her customers by Miss
Odelia Ralfn. Beyond the Fruit
Table was . Toy Table in the hands Of
Mrs. Camille Colin and Miss Mathille

ladies were neatly and elegantly
dressed and attracted much admira-
ton by their beauty and grace; con-
spicuons among them was Miss Cleo.
Chapman who is one of Donaldson
ville's most lovely daughters.
In the middle Of the line Of Refresh
81
ment Tables was the Post Office, Mr..

society, being Post Master, aided
by Miss Louise Lazar. Finally came
the Restaurant Table managed by
those veteran carvers Messrs. Isaac

The st. Joseph Brass Band was in
attendance during the whole time and
the fair goers were highly pleased

but are confident that the society have
no cause to complain.

SAVE lOTR EYES.

When will those working by lamp
light have the sense to understand the
use of shades to protect the eyes? We
sec persons sitting holding their sewing
or other work before and near to a lamp,
while the light is blazing full into their
eyes. 1t is plain that the object that
they work upon cannot be seen with so
great distinctness while the field of their
retina is already occupied by blaze.
But they work on for hours, and though
the next morning their visual organs tell
of the abuse by redness and inhamma-
ton, the workers are too dull to learn
the lesson of experience offered them.
Circular paper-shades can be obtained
for few cents, and these not only pro-
tect the eyes from the excess of light,
but serve as reflector behind the blaze
increasing the illumination one-half
Besides the above mentioned evil, there
is that of the varying quantity of light
thrown into the eye by its being sudden
ly and alternately directed toward the
blaze or obliquely away from it, by
which the pupil has not time to adapt
itself to the increase of glare whereas,
with the use of the shade, the illllmina-
ton would be uniform. The number of
persons in the community having spots,
light or dark, in their field of vision,
arising from the injury to the retina by
the i'll usages which we are mentioning,
is greater than is commonly imagined.
1t must be borne in mind that these
spots are Il serious step toward amarrosis
and gutta-serena, such as plunged in
darkness the latter days of the great
Milton, and many others more eminent
for their talents than their caution.

The LnNS of Health.

tits useless for State Legislatures to pass laws
for the preservation Of the public health, if the
great law of self-preservation, which depends for
its enforcement upon the will Of the individual, is
suffered to remain dead letter. There is scarcely
adult member of the community, of either sex,
in this country, who has not seen the testimony in
favor of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters furnished
over their own signatures by persons of acknowl-
merce, and every department of business and
professional life. These witnesses have declared
in the most explicit terms that the preparation is
n safeguard against epidemics, sovereign remedy
for dyspepsia, valuable anti-bilious medicine, a
promoter of appetite, genial and harmless stimu-
liant, good acclmattug medicine, strcngthener
of the nerves, general inyigorant, a protection
against the deleterious effects Of malaria and i'm
pure water, and that it imparts a degree of vigor
municated by any other of the tonics and stom
achics in Under these Circums tances the
selfpreseryative law of nature should teach every
rational person who, either by reason of inherent
debility or in consequence of exposure to I'M
Wholesome influences, is in peril of losing the
greatest of all temporal blessings, health, the i'm
portance of using the Bittcrs Il defensive medi-
simply their enemies. 1t is guaranteed to
cure indigestion in all its forms, and the bilious
and nervous will find nothing in the whole range
of official and proprietary medicines which will
afford them the relief.

StOck-Raising.

The Working Farmer gives some
good advice with regard to stock raising.
1t says: The most successful breeders of
horses, cattle, sheep, or swine know
from experience that, although they may
possess the best breeding animals, they
will not be successful in producing Sill
perior stock if continuous growth of
the young animals is not kept up. In
order to begin in time at this indispen-
sable preparation for success, the brood
mares, cows, ewes, and sows are most
carefully and suitably fed, and as soon
as the young animals make their appear
ance they are taken the greatest care of,
the dams being suitably fed while suck
ling, and when the young ones are
weaned they are not suffered to want for
food or drink. By this means con-
tinuous and rapid growth is kept up,
and the animals attain large size and
heavy weight at an early age.

The Two EXTREMES. Two classes of
medical thinkers attempt to cure disease
by opposite modes of treatment. One
class forces the system into preternatu-
raj activity; the other depresses and
weakens it. Both are wrong. To in
flame the blood of an invalid with medi-
Gated alcohol is as dangerous as to apply
undue steam pressure to weak boiler !;
and to PROSTATE the physical energy,
which is the natural opponent of disease,
by depicting treatment, is an act of al
most equal temerity. There is medi
UNI between these two extremes, and DIR.
JOSEPH WALKER, to whom the world
owes the famous CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BrrTERs, has been fortunate enough to
strike it. He has produced from simple
vegetable elements, without the admix-
ture of any distilled or fermented fluid
a specific comprising the important
properties of wholesome tonic, a gentle
evacuant, a purifier of the secretions, a
pulmonic, a sedative, and II powerful
bilious agent Never before were
these six sanative qualities comprehend
ed in one medicine, and never before did
one medicine cure so many different dis
eases. Dyspepsia, liver complaint, dis
eases of the kidneys, rheumatism, inter
mittent fever, disorders of the bowels,
govt, nervous affections, and maladies
preceding from impurity of the blood,
are only a few of the bodily ills for which
VINEGAR BTrTERs is considered an I'M
failinp remedy Com.

AGRICUL TURAL.
A Good Pig-Pen.

A Michigan correspondent of the RI
raj Home thus tells how he built his
pig-pen The main building is Is by 20,
two stories high, with cellar feet deep
underneath. The first story is feet in
the clear, the upper one feet to the
plates. The upper story is designed for
holding corn and other feed the lower
for cooking, mixing, feeding, and also
storing. The pens are ON two sides of
this building, and on one end. The other
end has a wide door for entrance. and
also large windows for light. The pens
have lean-to roofs. and are seven feet
high in trout and four in the'rear. There
are two on each side and two on the end,
six in all. The flour of the cellar is &C.
mented on gravel, and that of the pens
is plank laid in mortar on gravel foun-
dalton. Under the stills of the pens
there is wall going two and one-half
feet into the ground and laid in mortar
This is to prevent the rats working
under. The sides of the pens are plank,
and the roofs shingled. There are swing
partitions over the troughs, so the pigs
can be shut away when putting in their
feed 1 intend to use cellars for storing
potatoes and roots, for winter and spring
use, to cook with meal There is
drive or tube-well going down through
the cellar.
