EXTRAORDINARY CUREs.-We have
read many accounts of the extraordin-
airy cures by DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA
VINEGAR BITTERs, which have seemed
incredible. We are inclined to believe
them, as many of those 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 resisted.
One manifest superiority the VINEGAR
BIrrERs possesses over other Alternative
and Tonic preparations 1t contains
none of the burning fluids with which
most advertised Bitters are impregnat-
ed. 1t cannot create fever. Instead Of
clouding the brain, it clears it if cloud
ed. 1t is well known that alcohol, even
of the purest description, weakens and
untones the stomach instead of bracing
it, and is, therefore, poison in cases of
Indigestion. Fancy, then, what must
be the effect of the cheap Fire watcr
employed in making ordinary Bitters
and Tinctures, on the weakened and in
famed digestive organs. VINEGAR Brr-
TIERS, on the other hand, soothes the
stomach, while it increases the appetite
and relaxes the bowels. Dr. Walker
is regular physician, and his remedies
have just as much authority as any
standard remedies of the faculty. We
believe they are destined to become n
household medicine.

1t may not be theological, but it is
a sensible view for the weary. This
business of providing for our daily

our wives and children, and bids fair
to become the skeleton in every man'e

The COOlie Trade.

An American engineer, late of the
Coolie Fatchoy, has published in New
Orleans paper an account of the cruel
treatment which was inflicted on the
human freight of his ship. The vessel
left Maco on the 25th Of August, with
l,O05 Coolies on board. All went well
until the Doth, when the Coolies mutinied,
but were soon overpowered by the Off
Ger firing upon them. One hundred and
fifty were put in irons, and on the next
day logged so severely that the deck
was wet with blood. As each Chinaman
was fogged he was washed with salt
water and sent below. The account con-
tinues " The heat was intolerable even
in the open air. The voyage for the
poor Coolies was one of unimaginable
suffering. They were flogged, kicked.
cuffed, and Throughout treated with
the greatest cruelty. The Fl tn and
stencil was something horrible. The
hospitals were not cleaned during the
whole voyage" The vessel is chartered
by Havana firm for two trips.

New Cue Size for Paper. Makers.

A German paper contains descrip-
ton of new glue size for paper-ma-
kers, which, compared with the old one,
il said TO be nearly 30 per cent. cheaper
and much more suitable to tho paper.
To produce this size, dissolve in n
copper pan, heated by indirect steam,
As lbs. TO 80 lbs. of soda in 200 lbs. to
$40 lbs. of boiling water. then add to IT.,
stirring well at the time, 800 lbs. oi
powdered resin, keeping the whole con-
tinually boiling until the resin is per-
fectly dissolved, which is generally com
pleted in three or four hours. This
soda-resi6 composition, dissolved in the
proportion OF lb. OF resin to 80 lbs. or
40 lbs. of water, is to be mixed well to
gether with q glue solution, made by
dissolving 100 lbs. of glue in about 800
lbs. to 400 lbs. of water; then boil up
both solutions together for about ten
minutes, after which run it through n
fine seive or filter, and it is then ready
for use. The best proportions for mix
ing the vegetable and animal sizes are,
for one and a half parts of resin add one
part of glue or, for some purposes,
equal parts of each can be taken. The
addition of starch, il required, can be
performed as usual, and also the mix
ing of this improved size with the pulp.

The Pittsburgh Boiler Explosion.

Tho Pittsburgh Gazette gives long
description of the terrible explosion in
that city. Most of the details have,
however, already REF he'd us by tele-
graph. The Gazette b US:
To give some idea of the force of this
explosion, we would state that the
Mayors Office in Allegheny, perhaps
four miles distant, with two intervening
rivers, was shaken to it's base, and sew
eral officers reported to Mayor Callow
that an explosion must have occurred
in the immediate vicinity. Walking
beams of an immense size and weight,
iron, machinery, etc, were thrown fully
quarter of mile from their places.
When the explosion occurred one of
the workmen was at the top of shaft,
some forty feet high, arranging the
betting. The ladder by which he as
cended was blown out of the building,
and he was caught by the wide belt and
carried to the floor, and fell just off the
pit of the fy-wheel. He can hardly
tell howhe escaped death, but attributes
the fact of owning life to-day to moth
ing short of the especial intervention
of God. The velocity with which he
went down must have been something
marvellous, as he passed over fly
wheel running nearly thousand revo.
lutions minute.
1t is somewhat peculiar that the most
terrible and serious scenes will be the
cause of many ludicrous and queer in
cldents. One oman, Immediately after
the accident, was fearfully excited, and
running about Carson street inquiring
for her Jack" OF course, our re-
POI ter, in duty bound, asked her what
Jack did, when she replied: "Noth-
ing; he was her dog, and was always
getting into trouble"
The manhead of one of the boilers
and large piece of water pipe fell on
the roof of John Thompson's black
smith shop, on the north side of Carson
street. The timbers gave way, and the
mass fell to the ground floor of the
shop, within few feet of where Mr..
Thompson was working at his anvil.
Alarge piece of boiler passed through
the residence of Mr.. Early, one of the
superintendent of the works, on Sarah
street, nearly a quarter of mile from
the scene of the explosion. 1t passed
entirely through the second story into /
the back yard fortunately, the entire
family were down stairs, and thus were
saved injury. Mrs. Dornberger occu-
pied one of the company's houses, i'm
mediately on line with the point where
the boilers were located. A piece of
one of the boilers was forced through
the roof and upper story, carrying away
portions of the roof with it. This was

Selecting q wife.

We have heard of the test being APP
piled to servant girls, but John Starkley
was the man who applied it to the selec-
ton Of wife. The Starkleys md the
Belknaps had been friends through sew
eral generations. In the present genera
ton there was in the Starkloy family
one son, and the family of Belknaps
five daughters and it had been ar
ranged between the parents that the
heir of the Starklcys should take him u
wife from among the daughters of Bel
KNAPP. John, the heir aforesaid, at the
ago Of five and twenty, had returned
from his travels, when his father babe
him select from the daughters Of the
friendly house the one he would have
for wife. John was a dutiful son. and
his heart was whole, and a. the maidens
were all fair to look upon, he accepted
the situation, determined to master il
If possible.
John spent several evenings in the
company of the young ladies', and it
was difficult to decide which was the
most charming, though his fancy rested
most lingeringly upon the youngest
not that she was the handsomest, but
she appeared the most sensible.
One day John was invited to dinner,
and, i'll advance of the family, he made
his way into the hall and threw broom
upon the floor, directly across the pas
sage to the dining-room. BY and by
the summons sounded for the meal, and
John watched for the result. The eldest
daughter stepped overthe broom loftily;
the second went around it the third
gave = kick from her path; the fourth
gave an extra kick; the fifth-tho
your sest--stopped and picked the
broom up and took it to the far corner
of the hall and set it carefully out of
the way.
And John selected the meek keyed,
fair-haired maiden who thus stood the
test, and he never had occasion to regret
his choice. She proved to be wife
who looked well to the ways of her
household, and her heart had no lack Of
faith and love-
