Want of VITALITY.

If deficiency of vital energy is not a disease in
itself it is condition which lays the system open
to the attacks of all conceivable maladies. Night
and day we are surrounded more or less by deleter
ious influences. No atmosphere is entirely pur
no water utterly free from injurious particles
while in many localities botn are positively I'M
wholesome What defense has the weak languid
system, in which the vital principle is deficient or
dormant against any of the morbid influences
which produce epidemic and other diseases? None
whatever. There is no safety save in artificial re-
enforcement. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have
beyond all question, vitalizng effect. If the
nervous forces of the body have been reckessly ex
pended in exhausting physical or mental labor or
dissipated in the indugences of FAST life this
powerful vegetable tonic and corrective will re-
store them. If the defective vitality is constu-
onal evil, it can be remedied to great extent by
TINS wonderful lnyigorant At a season of the year
when the air is more or less impregnated with the
seeds periodic fevers, it is especially desirable
that the digestion should be perfect the habits of
body regular, the liver active, the blood pure and
the nerves firm. These conditions the best pro-
lection against all disorders, and they are condi-
other medicinal agent to promote and secure. See
to it, however, that imitation or counterfeit is
substituted for the genuine article and let all who
value health and have an antipathy to poison be-
ware of the local bitters made from condemned
drugs and vilely adulterated alcohol, which have
sprung up like unwholesome fungi all over the
country.

Success OF Americans at Vienna.

The goods on exhibition in the Ameri
can department continue to command as
much, If not more, attention than those OF
any other country in the Exposition
They have the merit of their being all
novelties, and the only articles of their
kind to be found in the Exposition. There
are no fancy goods, and not much of the
ornamental, but they partake rather Of the
necessary and the useful The apprecia
ton of visitors is shown by the fact that
comparatively small as the display is
there are more articles marked "sold" than
in the departments of any other country
1t is, in fact, the only department in the
main building where visitors closely ex-
anime everything, for the reason that they
are mostly articles never before seen in
Europe, and have been brought here for the
reason that they are new. The halls of
the American division are poorly deco
rated, the display of flags being small, and
most OF them of very inferior quality,
while every other country is brilliant
with silk flags, arranged in the most
artistic manner. The exhibitors COM
plain also that they receive no attention
from our Minister or the Commissioners
most of whom have long since left
Vienna, and are spending the
summer in Switzerland. They "say
that the Emperor has been more attentive
to them than any one else
The American division of the machine
ry department continued to attract great
attention, and nearly every piece of
machinery has upon it card with the
word ''sold" printed in large letters. This
of itself is mark of appreciation that is
unmistakable. So, also, in the American
Agricultural Building, nearly all the
reapers and mowers are marked ISOLDE
as we'll as many of the drills horse-rakes
and plows. Indeed, it is evident that
there will be very little of what has been
brought here from the United States to be
taken back again, and, when at Trieste
last week, our Consul told us that one of
the vessels that brought the goods over
was about to be sent home. The Ameri
can machinery for the manufacture of
shoes, of which there is good display,
attracts great attention. 1t was in motion
to-day, and so great was the throng of
spectators that we could not get within
ten feet of the rail that surrounds it, 1t is
also marked "sold," and MANY orders
have been received for similar machines.
In Photography, the American display
not only exceeds that of every other coun-
try in the way of execution, but the ladies
whose likenesses are presented are regard
ed as wonderful specimens of female
beauty. Many of them are of life-size,
and are represented in rich and tasteful
attlre.-COr. Baltimore american.

A StupendOus Scheme.

A GENTLEMAN whose enthusiasm for
the American centennial is evidently
boundless has written to high govern
ment official to suggest that at precisely
twelve o'clock, M, Washington time, of
the Fourth of July, 1876, all the guns,
bells, steam whistles, trumpets, drums,
organs and other musical instruments in
the country, with the millions of human
voices, "burst forth into sounds ofjoy and
praise" He would have an electric signal
from the nations capital flashed through
all the telegraph wires in the country to
every city, town and hamlet, and by the
cable to Europe, Asia and Africa and,
we suppose New Jersey-and from the
western wilds to the far-of isles of the
Orient this gigantic racket should "bid
the slumbering millions of heathendom
awake and join the happy nations in
singing that sublime invocation to praise,
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Now this scheme is magnifcently patri-
otto, but it is also bewilderingly big; it
will be well to think of the consequences.
The combined yell of forty million pair
of lungs-we set it low, because some
seditious persons probably wouldn't ell
with the proposed instrumental accompa-
niment, would produce a noise not to be
particularly sneezed at, and it might
'bust things" What if it should rend
heavens concave, brighten the moon from
its orbit split the planets, crack the sun,
or topple over the foundation of the uni
verse itself-who is going to clear up and
fix things next day? We should hardly
want such bill for repairs, and we can't
expect the effete monarchies to chip in
it isn't their funeral. But just think of it,
every man, woman and screaming infant
in this 'tarnal Yankee nation, standing
with breath drawn in, shoulders back,
and toeing out, ready to pour out their
souls in one gigantic "Hoop-la" at given
signal! Of the signal shouldn't come,
after all, it would be an awful come-down
wouldn't it0 1t is really to much; the
mind can't grasp it. Talk about waking
the "slumbering millions of heathen-
dom!" Why, it would scare EN- to DEATH
Our poor Indians would think we meant
them, and would incontinently seek a last
reservation in the waves of the Pacific.
And this extending the yell into foreign
countries would be little perilous.
Americans are not numerous enough
there. Away down in Australia, for in
stance, if some grizzly American miner,
the only one in the vicinity, probably,
should hang around the telegraph station
all the forenoon, and, at the signal, sud-
denly begin to howl and cut up, they
would think he had gone daft and would
knock him on the head, after the custom
of those primitive provinces. The more
civilized foreigners would stare at us and
call us a pack of fools, while the fellows
in the other planets would wonder what
on Earth was a-going on, and we should
be subjected to their impertinent remarks
for several days Mono, this thing won't
do we had better go little slower A
few more punches of fire crackers, and
another pin-wheel or two, will answer
just as well, and will be infinitely safer

Reporting Plants.

To ascertain if plant wants fresh pot
ting, turn it carefully out Of the pot, with
the earth attached to it, and examine the
roots. If they are matted about the sides
and bottom of the ball, the plant evidently
requires fresh potting. Then carefully
reduce the ball Of earth to about third
of its original bulk; single out the matted
roots and trim away all that are mouldy
and decayed. Probably the same pot
may then be large enough, but if it re-
quires larger one it should be about two
inches broader for middle-sized plant;
three or four for large plant. If the
roots are not matted, but the pots are
filled with fbers, keep the ball entire and
carefully plant it in a larger pot. At the
top of large pot, an inch, and of small
one, half an inch should be left for recep-
ton of water, without danger of overflow
A little gravel, charcoal or pieces of brok-
en- pots should always be placed at the
bottom for drainage. A plant newly-pot-
ed must never be exposed to strong sun.
1t should be watered and placed in the
shade Immediately and there remain till it
is rooted, which may be known by its
starting to grow.-F9uit Recorder.

Dark Stables.

THERE are too many miserably dark
horse stables, when it is so we'll known
that light exercises q most important and
salutary influence on the whole animal as
well as vegetable kingdom. We are too
apt to think that any place will do for a
stable that is sufficiently dry, though the
only opening for the admission of light
be the entering door. This is all wrong
The eye of the horse is an exceedingly
sensitive organ, and always suffers from
long continued darkness, as when, from
partial sickness or disuse, he is kept a
longer time than usual within doors, or in
stables where the broad light of day is ex-
cluded.
Most diseases to which the animal is
subject are more virulent in dark stables
than where full flood of light can be adj
mitted. Darkness is said to favor rest
and sleep, and this is doubtless true, but
it can be of no possible benefit to the ami
NAL during those long hours of wakeful
incarceration to which it is sometimes
subjected, unless it be to enable the jockey
to take advantage Of the effects. A horse
brought from dark stable into the glare
of the sunlight, is confused and startled
from the imperfect vision of surrounding
objects, and by his high stepping and I'M
certain action, impresses the novice with
an idea of his spirit and action.
Even though fat may be induced by
darkness, it is not conducive to muscular
strength; for muscles deprived of the
stimulus Of light, become fiaccid, and the
apparent high condition induced by this
means is soon lost by active exertion.
Men whose employments confine them to
poorly-lighted apartments soon lose the
color and the energy of full health, and
the same results follow similar treatment
of animals. Light and thorough ventila-
ton should be the governing points in the
erection of stabling for all domestic ami
mails, and particularly for the horse.-Pa-

A PENNSYLVANIA lady has most ro-
mantle and ingenious way of managing
the gentleman so happy as to be her hus-
band. Exasperated by her persistent con-
versation, he ungallantly boxed her ears,
the other day. The wretched woman
cast but one lingering reproachful glance
upon her lord and fled, simply observing
as she departed that the briny deep should
wash away the insult. Leaving behind
her everything most dear to her-the
home of her married life, full of beautiful
and cherished memories-this heart,
broken woman rushed frantically to the
canal, and, with one parting sigh, threw
in large stone with a mighty splash
Then she went and hid herself in the
bushes and giggled, while her husband
and twenty other men hurried up, with
horror depicted on their countenances,
and wildly dragged the canal for her
body. When the injured woman became
convinced that the wretch had suffered
enough, she appeared from behind the
bushes and led him home, resigned and
willing victim.

he will only adopt this plan as an expert

The cow thus treated will yield more
and better milk; the OK or workhorse af-
ter his skin is cleaned, sleeps well and is
rested the next morning he goes forth to
his work with an elastic step, and con-
seriousness in every movement of health
and strength. The time and care taken in
cleaning their skins is more than returned
in a better product or increased labor.
The skin is the outlet of foul matter
which nature throws off from our bodies
it is itself constantly wearing away, and
the dead particles require to be rubbed
off rather than allowed to accumulate
among the animals hair, causing that
covering to become unhealthy. Some
farmers complain that their cattle are
constantly rubbing down their posts and
fences. A little currying would stop all
such trouble.-N. Y. Times.

Keep the Skin Clean.

:, The advantages attendant upon the
thorough currying and washing the hair
ana hlde are, additional beauty, better
digestion, hence greater ease of fattening
and on less amount of food, and, directly
and indirectly, an influence for good upon
the whole animal health, among which
may be mentioned less liability to diarr-
hea. Every stable, whether for cow or
horse, should have its curry-comb and
brush; to these some add the card: and
there should be also a tub for water or
weak soap-suds, and a sponge. These
should be used at least once in two dayS
in warm weather, and any farmer who
has never tried it will be astonished at
the marked improvement in his cattle if

The decision of the Supreme Court of

The decision of the Supreme Court of
Ohio, affirming the right of the Cincinnati
Board of Education to forbid the reading
of the Bible in the public schools, does
not seem to have turned at all upon the
merits of the case, but simply upon the
question of the extent of authority con-
ferred by the laws of the State on that and
similar Boards. The court decides, in
substance, that the Constitution Of the
State does not require religious instruc-
ton or the reading of religious books in
the public schools; and that the Legisla-
ture, having placed the management of the
public schools under the exclusive control
OF directors, trustees and Boards of Edu-
cation, courts have no rightful authority
to Interfere by directing what instruction
shall be given or what books shall be
there.
