and then says: We put our Commits

gross of journalism, the book trEde, and
the intellectual advancement of the

increased from two and one-half to six

The Pittsburgh Con'mcrcio says
Mr.. John w. Good left Philadelphia
on Saturday to take passage for Liberia,
in West Africa, on the Jasper, to sail
from New York this week. Mr.. Good
went to Liberia i'll 1857 originally, and
now returns in charge of the new steam
cotlee-hulling machine, invented by
Mcssrs. Morris and Woodruff, of this
city. The Government of Liberia has
offered II reward of s. for every 200
coffee trees planted, and remarkable
spirit OF emulation has been awakened
in parts of the young African Republic
Five acres planted in young coffee trees
would yield 81 900 per annum, and the
Government offers % acres to every
emi8raut family. One hundred and
thirty freedmen from Georgia are ex-
pected to go out in the same vessel to
settle at Brewerville, founded by the
generous legacy of the late Charles
Brewer, of Pittsburgh. Thousands of
freedmen have applied for passage to
Liberia, and as soon as the gold region
beyond the present boundary Of Liberia
is reached, there will be probably rush

A short time since two individuals
were lying i'll one room very sick, one
with brain fever, and the other with an
aggravated case of the mumps. They
were so low that watchers were needed
every night, and it was thought doubt
ful if the one sick of fever would re-
cover. a gentleman was engaged to
watch over night, his duty being 10
wake the nurse whenever it became
necessary to administer medicine. In
the course of the night both watcher
and nurse fell asleep. The man with
the humps lay Watching the clock, and
saw that it was time to give the fever
patient his potion. He was unable to
speak aloud, or to move any portion of
his body except his arms, but, Selling
pillow, he managed to strike the watcher
in the face with it. Thus suddenly
awakened, the watcher sprang from his
seat, falling to the floor, and awakened
both the nurse and the fever patient
The incident struck the sick man as
veryludicrous, ana they laughed heartily
at it for some fifteen or twenty minutes
When the doctor came in the morning
he found his patient vastly improved

turn for the better, and now
both are up and we'll Who says
laughter is not the best of medicines?
And this reminds the writer of another
case. A gentleman was suffering ilom

became so swollen that his life was de-

bedside to bid him farewell, Each in
dividual shook hands with the dying
man, and then went away weeping.
Last OF all came pet ape, and shaking
the mans hand, went away also with its
hands over its eyes. 1t was SO ludic-
rous a sight that the patient was forced
to laugh, and laughed SO heartily that

wanted the Prince of Wales, even after
he got married and set up for himself at
Marlboro House, to do the same, which
the young man fatty refused to do, and

The Burriel Butchery.

The following is the story told n re-
porter of the New York Hcruld by Mr..
George w. Sherman, who was u wit
ness of the executions at Santiago de
Cuba:
"The slaughter house where the first
butchery took place is about 1,GOO feet
square, which gives lineal frontage to
each side of about 400 feet. The men
in question were placed in front of this
place, which is an adobe building of
about - or II feet in height lin which
are imbedded thousands of bullets,
with an overhanging roof, while on the
ground gutter has been constructed
to receive the rain which may trickle
from off the roof. Ryan refused to
kneel, although repeated efforts were
made to make him do so. The men
were all bound and placed near the gut
ter Just described. After many rounds
had been fired the men We're considered
dead, but it was found that Ryan was
not dead, and sword was plunged into
his bOdy-but not into his heart, as
stated. The first blows given were into
his abdomen. The soldiers who had
been detailed to do this work by Gen
Burriel were wretched marksmen. At
ter this number of cavalrymen came
on the spot and rode their horses over
the bleeding corpses till they We're i'll an
almost unacceptable state. The four
heads were cut off and placed on poles,
and carried round by the people in tri-
umph. The bodies were then, or rather
what remained of them, placed in a cart
and driven ont to Il marshy spot, about
a mile from the place of execution, and
dumped ont like load of dirt in an
open ditch, where few inches of
mother earth were, perhaps, placed
upon them by order of Burriel, or per-

The amount of drunkenness which
statistics show to prevail in our larger
cities goes far to account for the marked
increase of poverty and crime lately
noticed in the country. Dayton, Ohio,
with population of 1000, has 800
bar-rooms, and consumes $2,000,000
worth of whisky annually. Milwaukee
has $50 liquor saloons, and Il population
of II, 40. Chicago, with a population
of 29S, 977, supports 1,S00 bar-rooms !;
and New York, with a population of
90, 900, sustains 1000. That is to say,
New York supports one bar-room to
every 235 inhabitants Chicago one to
every 10; Milwaukee one to every l05;
and Dayton one to every Sc. The
money value of the consumption of
whisky, malt liquors, and tobacco i'll
Dayton, it is estimated, amounts to five
times that of bread.

Oxygen as Il Poison.

Oxygen, ON the plentifulness of which
i'll the air we breathe, the bounding
blood of health is supposed to depend,
is as fatal as Il dose of strychnine, if in
hailed in n condensed form. Paul Bert,
q French scientist, has demonstrated
this by some recent experiments with
birds and animals Placing sparrows
under a pressure of three and half at
mospheres, the birds were seized with
commissions. The same results followed
when sparrows we're confined in common
air, under Il pressure of seventeen at
mospheres. In oxygen, at n pressure
Of three and a half atmospheres, or in
air at twenty-five atmospheres, the con-
WILSON'S were extremely violent and
soon fatal. In the latter case, the
symptoms were as follows Convul-
sions commenced after four or five min
utcs. The bird hobbies in moving
about as though walking on hot Goals.
1t then tiutters its wings, falls on its
back, and spins about with its claws
doubled up. Death supervenes after a
few such spasms. In order to produce
commissions i'll a dog, oxygen was found
to require a pressure of three and II half
atmOsphcrcs, and Il pressure of five at
mosphcres is fatal. The amount of
oxygen in the arterial blood of dog in
commissions was found to be considera-
bly, less than twice the normal quantity
From these facts NJ. Bert draws start
ling conclusions that oxygen is the most
fearful poison known.
A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The pcrcep-
tive faculty of women is usually kcener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshipped by the sterner
sex. 4 man may talk with his lips Of
the latter to his ladylove, but the
keenness of the woman knows that he
is thinking of the former in his heart.
All women have an innate desire to
please their dcuur They are fond of
admiration, hence one of their longings
is to be beautiful The grand secret of
female beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
assimilate a proper quantity of whole
some food. Take VINEGAR BITrERs. 1t
will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital
organs, give perfect digestion, purify
the blood, clear up the complexion and
produce Il state of mental and physical
electricity which gives symmetry of
form, bright eyes, white skin, glossy
hair and genuine type of female love-
illness which no cosmetic can compare
with. Com.
