4 q" WOLF BO !.

An interesting child, remarks the
PaN Mai Gaeettc, has lately made his
appearance at Lucknow. The Pioneer
reports the arrival there of ga novelty
in the shape of Il wolf boy" This
young gentleman, who is now undergo
ing process of tanning i'll Il lunatic asy
lum, was, it is said, carried off by
wolves when an infant, and has re-
manned with them until short time
ago, when caught and recognized by his
parents. His family, however, can
hardly be congratulated on his rcstora-
ton to their bosom, for his education in
the wolf nursery (Which, by the way, was
purely secular) seems to have been
very defective. His mannars are not
only disagreeable, but peculiar. At
first he walked on all fours, though now
he has been induced to walk on his two
feet only, like a reasonable being he
has long hair on his head, nor can he
understand IL single word. His parents
suffered much inconvenience on his first
arrival at home, owing to his frequently
attacking and trying to devour them by
night and, indeed, it was owing to his
persistence i'll this untilial conduct that
they were compelled i'll self-detense to
place him under medical surveillance.
He also, among other disagreeable
habits, tears raw meat to pieces with
his teeth, and eats it ravenously like Il
wild beast, and, moreover, bites and
snaps at any one who attempts to touch
him.

GEN. CUSTER gets obstreperous occa-
sionally, but he is nevertheless one of
the very best cavalry officers in the
United States service. In one of the
recent fights with the Sioux, when the
enemy's force was double his own, his
ammunition gave out. Instead of order
ing precipitate retreat on the troops
some miles in the rear, which would
pro. ably have ended in panic and a
massacre, he ordered saber charge on
the Indians, put them to flight, and
compelled them to seek shelter in "the
bad lands" That is the way to do
business.

THE TRANSIT or VENUS.

The officials of the Naval Observatory
have nearly completed the plan of opera
tions for observing the transit of Venus,
which will occur in December, 1874
Eight parties of five persons each will
be dispatched, four to stations in the
southern hemisphere, and the others to
the northern. Those going south of
the equator will leave New York next
spring in naval vessel specially pre-
pared and fitted for their accommoda-
ton, while the others will probably
proceed to their stations by mail steam
ers. The posts in the southern hemis-
phere will be on the Kingvelen Islands,
Auckland, and Van Dieman's Land, and
in northern stations will be located at
Yokohama, Nagasaki, Shanghai, and
near the Siberian border After the
transit the observers in the southern
hemisphere will be collected by Gov
ernment ship, transported to Japan,
and sent home by mail steamers. The
whole expedition will occupy year at
least. Each party will contain astrono-
mers and photographers, with complete
equipment and apparatus for obtaining
perfect observations and records of the
transit. Prof. Hardness will have
charge of the parties making observa-
tions in the southern hemisphere, and
Prof Newcombe of those in the north
ern. The object of the observation, for
which Congress has appropriated $780,
000 is to determine more accurately the
distance between the earth and the sun,
and the Professor at the head of the ex-
petition expects to be able to settle the
distance within half IA million of miles.

TALK Is CHEAP.-If there is not an
adage bearing on the subject, there should
be one, and we respectfully submit the
following: Who pays least, growls most.
Such, at least, has been our experience in
the newspaper business, and we believe
that others have had like experience. A
case in point is this Not many weeks
ago, our carrier, in making his rounds,
stepped into one of the business establish
ments Of Weavervillo and laid the paper,
which the proprietor subscribes for, on the
table. Several persons were in The room
near the table, and they were somewhat
surprised to see fellow jump up from
chair, several feet distant, with one bound
reach the table and secure the JOURNAL
before any of the others had an oppor-
tunity of reaching for it. The proprietor
thought this a strange proceeding, but
surmising that the party was anxious to
see some particular item, he sat down to
wait until he found it. Our friend, how
ever, having secured the paper, was in
no hurry TO give 1T up, but unfolding 1t
proceed to peruse its contents, which were
so good that he read every article and
item. After his eagerness to secure the
paper and read it, it was rather amusing
to have him lay it down with the very
complimentary remark that THAT is
the d-dest poorest paper printed" If
hat ta 4. - -,
self or anybody else, we hope he will not
fool away any more Of it reading such a
id poor paper" but if he can't get
along without reading it and is too mean
to take a copy for himself, he should have
common decency enough to allow man
who does subscribe and pay for it an OPP
portunity to glance at lis contents. AS

A Manual of Health.

An edidion of between nine and ten
million of COPIES of q very useful work
is now ready for gratuitous distribution,
and can be had for the asking at any
drug store In the United States, the Brit
ish Colonies, Spanish America or Brazil.
The work referred to is Hostetter's AL
manac for 1874. The medical portion OF
it treats of the various ailments to which
the human system is subject, and sets
forth the peculiar properties of Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters - the purest and
best tonic at present known-as a pre-
servative of health and strength, and as
a renIGiy for debility and disease. The
Almanac is printed in all the principal
languages of the civilized world, and
reaches larger number of families and
individuals than any other medical treat
ise that ever issued from the press. No
man or woman who has due regard for
that choicest of heavens blessings, bodily
vigor, should fail to read the plain, sim
pie and convincing articles which this
truly practical publication contains. The
miscellaneous matter is varied, instruct
i've and amusing, and the calendar de-
partment copious and comprehensive.
Hostetter's Almanac is, in short, house
hold convenience, adapted to the use of
all classes and callings. The farmer, the
planter, the miner, the mechanic, the la
borer, the professional man, all need it /;
and to invalids of both sexes it is literally
an article OF prime necessity. The medi-
cal technicalities which render SO many
medical treatises intended for popular
use unintelligible to the general reader,
have been carefully avoided in this pam
phlet. All is clear, explicit, forcible,
and reconcilable with reason and COM
mon sense.
