THE OLD ALBUM.
Under this title, the San Francisco News
Letter has the following original and beautiful
poem:
I've drawn thee from thy hiding place,
.ss Relic OF by gone days, 49,.
Again thy gilded leaves to trace,
Thy weil-known garb TO praise:
To bring thee to the glaring light
From out thy silent nook:
Come, tell old tales OF moments bright,
Thou long neglected book!
How first the faded lines trace,
Penned by gentle hand,
They bring to me the fairest face
That graced a youthful band;
sweet playmate OF my earlier years,
Companion OF the past,
Thou hast forgot thy life OF tears
In happier realms al last. - ~
What fairy fingers held the pen
That traced this dainty page?
Ii bears the date OF other years,
And seems quite pale with age
All! remember me OF one
Justthen become bride;
She esmlles a careful matlDn now,
With pratlers at her side.
Thou max S. me sad, t=ou gilded 10Y!
And as | gaze on thee,
| think how time and change have thrown
Their shadows over me.
The flush of youth has vanished now,
Friends severed far and wi de,
The curls that waved on many a brow,
Times silvery footmarks hide.
60 back, then, TO thy silent nook,
MementO of the past;
Thou tell'st a tale, my long-loved book.
Ufyears that flow too fast;
And read'st lesson to my heart,
Perused full off Before,
That hopes must fade and friends must
Til iife's dark day is DER.

Hiqh Tide in New York.

At eleven o'clock this morning the
tide in the North River. was higher
than at any time since the 9TH Of
March, two years ago. Many OF the
Easements in Exchange Place were
flooded, and there was barely space
between the end of the ferry bridge
and the roof Of the ferry house for
covered express wagons to pass. The
basement restaurant at the Northern
Hotel, foot of Cortland street, was
Hooded with two feet of water, and
many of the easements along West
street We're also flooded, doing much
damage.
The tide rose so high in the river
that ferry boats were rocked like row
boats on its bosom. The docks and
ferries suffered to great extent
from the lashing of the waves, and to
the great alarm of passengers.
At the HobOken ferries the tide rose
above the dock, and flowed i'm upon
them until they were covered with
water two feet in depth. Each boat at
its landing was, under these circum-
stances, about six or eight feet above
the level Of the dock, while the water
from the river finally flowed out upon
the streets leading to the ferry, and
covered the basement Of the new hotel
now in course OF erection.
There is an unusual overflow, but
there is no excuse for not taking the
proper precautions to prevent u SINH
lar occurrence again. Traffic, and
even the progress Of foot passengers,
was stopped for considerable time.
Along South and West streets, near
" all the cellars were flooded, but,
owing to the precursors sent forward
TO warn of its approach, the high tide
did little damage.
In West street the effect of the
rising of the water was more disastrous
than in South street. In some portions
of the street the high water had forced
itself through the sewers and in their
vicinity the streets were flooded.
Many OF the dining saloons in the cell
lars on that street were Obliged to
close, and the prOprietors Of such es-
tablishments will be the greatest
sufferers from the high water.
At one O'Clock the tide subsided, and
the WATERWAYS again drawn back into
the river.

DEATH OF BARNUM's RHINoCERos.
Early Monday afternoon, says the
Baltimore Sun OF October I'd, Bar
NUNS rhinOceros, then on exhibi-
tion in Philadelphia, gave signs Of un-
usual excitement, and presently began
a vigorous assault on the iron bars of
the cage, vainly endeavoring to break
through, and. soon after died. The
Philadelphia Telegraph says:
The struggles Of the great brute drew
acrowd around the cage, but when
the woodwork began to, succumb to
the furious assaults of the enraged
animal, and it became evident that
there was great danger Of its escaping
from its confinement, the feeling Of
curiosity gave way to that Of fear, and
when the huge monster, with ter
rife snort and powerful upward thrust
with its head, carried away the top of
the cage, ripping it of as though it
was thin gauZe, the crowd became
paralyzed with fear. Women and
children shrieked i'm terror and sought
safety in flight, while strong men
stood speechless before the danger
that threatened them. The struggles
of the dying animal were fearful to
behOld,' but fortunately were OF short
torn and shattered so as render it un-
tit for further use, and had the
parOxysms continued a few minutes
longer, loss of. human life might have
resulted. The dead animal was the
largest one of its species in the coun-
try, and cost nearly $4,000. 1t is un-
derstood. that it. died from tit. The
corpus will be sent to the Smithson-
ian Institute for preservation.

Half

1t is a sad thing to pass through life only half
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitual
condition is one Of lapguor and debility. They
complain Of no specific disease; they suffer no
positive pain, but they have no relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
more robust and energetic acknowledges.
In nine cases out of ten this state Of lassitude
and torpor arises from q morbid stomach. Indi-
gestion destroys the energy Of both mind and
body. When the waste Of nature is not supplied
by a due and regular assimilation Of the food,
rupted.
Now, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstance of depression The system
needs rOusing and strengthening; not merely for
an hour or two, to sink afterwards into u more
pitiable condition than ever las it assurenly would
do il an ordinary alcoholic stimulant were re-
sorted toy, but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object to be accomplished?
varying experience of q quarter Of q century, is
easily given. Infuse new vigor into the digestive
organs by q course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Do not waste time in administering temporary
remedies, but wake the system up by recuPerat-
ing the fountain-head Of physical strength and
energy, the great organ upon which all the other
organs depend for their nurture and support.
By the time that a dozen doses Of the great vege-
table tonic and invigOrant have been taken, the
feeble frame Of the dyspeptic will begin to feelits
with appetite the capacity to digest what it

flesh and muscle, bone and nerve and brain, flows

DRUG STORES SCARCE IN VIENNA

DRUG STORES SCARCE IN VIENNA.
An hours walk this morning through
the most populous parts IF Vienna, in
search of a.Seidlitz powder, was a fail
ure, as far as the object of the search
was concerned. We could not find an
%apothecary shop in all this long walk
and diligent search. In the same space
we could have found fifty in Balti-
more, OF in any other American city.
Being in pursuit of knowledge, we made
inquiry as to the cause of this scarcity,
desiring to know whether the sages of
Vienna had discovered that Shakespeare
was right when he consigned "physic
to the dogs" The physicians of whom
we inquired assured us that, although
the people did not physic themselves
much in Vienna, an average amount of
medicine was consumed. The scarcity
of apothecaries grew out of the fact that
the law was very strict as to the quail
fcations of all ~aspirants, and that they
must obtain a certificate from an exam
lining board, all of whom are apothe-
carries and interested in restricting the
number. Thus it is that the business
is kept in certain families, and that very
few except such of their children as take
q fancy to the business are indicted to
its mysteries. The difficulty that a
stranger experienced in finding them
was partly owing to the fact that they
had no competition in their several
neighborhoods, made very little display,
and very often had their establishments
in back streets or courts, where con
venience or cheap rent induced the
location. They charge high prices, and
are generally quite wealthy Ncnna

PRIGS.

One Of the most ingenious and daring
thefts on record was perpetrated a short
time since at the village of Briefly Hill,
England. A lad entered the store of a
grocer of the place and bought a roll of
bread, which he asked the man to stuff
down the back of his jacket, as his COM
panion outside would take it away from
him if he saw it. The grocer complied
with the apparently innocent request,
and having had his loaf placed in its
original hiding place the boy left.
Hardly had he quilted the store when
another lad rushing in, exclaimed : "Do
you know what that chap has done? he
has prigged your watch! !" The grocer
looked in horror, and saw his watch
chain dangling end his watch gone.
"There he goes!" said his informant,
pointing to a figure seen going down the
street and the storekeeper Immediately
rushed out in pursuit, leaving the store
unguarded. When he reached the cor
ner the supposed thief had vanished,
and returning to his store he found that
during his absence the informer had
emptied the till and gone off with the
money. The two thieves have so far
escaped capture.

PENNSYL VANIA ENTERPRISE.

The project of laying down a pipe be-
tween the petroleum region in Western
Pennsylvania and some seaport city,
whereby crude oil may be sent to an
ocean market cheaper than by railroad,
has been revived. Just now Pennsyl-
vania seems to be ahead of the world in
the matter of starting enterprises, of
which piping Oil to New York or Phila-
delphia is one. The Transatlantic bal
loon voyage originated there, as did the
scheme to render the Ohio river naviga-
bic by pumping a supply of water from
Lake Erie. Some time since a Pennsyl-
vania man suggested that salt could be
made much cheaper by bringing brine
from Syracuse to the coal beds than by
carrying the coal to the brine wells in
cars; bnt New York was reluctant to
part with her salt works and the rev.
enues derived from them. Now an
other Pennsylvania proposes to supply
all the cities in the Middle and Western
States with gas derived from gas wells,
by means of pipes leading sfrom Erie
and other places where gas issues from
the ground in large quantities.

LONDON PEELERS.

The London police force now number
9,761 men, of whom 26 are superintend-
ents, 262 insp %ectors, 1854 %sergeants, and
S,4S9 constables. The population over
whom these have authority exceeds
5000, OOO. The length of streets pa
troled night and day is 6,612 miles. The
number of arrests in 1872 was 70, 1908.
Arrests for drunkenness are rather in
creasing, but crimes are diminishing.
The number of thieves and suspected
persons in 1869 was 1886, and in 1872
it was 3,115. The number of houses of
bad character has also lessened from
LAO to 1,148 in the same period.

CAN TT BE TRUE the last
few months a considerable number of
persons have called upon DR.. Walker,
the proprietor of the popular medicine
known as V1NEGER BrrTERs, and as
sured him that, in their belief, his pre-
paration is an infallible antidote for
rum and tobacco. The minute details
which have been furnished him forbid
him to doubt the accuracy of the state
ments. This new claim of a great
remedy to the confidence of the public
will give a vast and well-deserved i'm
pulse to its popularity. Heretofore the
BTrTERs have been recognized as a pure
vegetable tonic and corrective, devoid
of alcohol, and thoroughly adapted to
the cure of stomach and bowel COM
plants, nervous disorders, bilious affec-
tions, musclar diseases, and, indeed, a
majority of the ailments within the
reach of medicine ; but it will also cure
the craving for liquor and tobacco,
philosophers, statesmen and t~heologians
ought to unite their voices in its praise.
Can it be true? 1t is easy to test the
question. 9

A CHECKER-BCARD CRANIUM.


Here is something remarkable. A
woman in New Haven wa recently be-
reft of her scalp by the idiosyncracies
of a shaft and belt. The doctors saw
that to remedy the evil they would have
to recourse to transplanting, and so
they actually succeeded in getting a
sufficient number of pieces from other
peoples heads to give this unfortunate
woman a new scalp. We hope those
New Haven doctors used more discre-
ton than did he who attended q man
named Finlay, who met with a similar
accident in Oriskany, N. Y, some thir-
teen years ago. Bits of scalp from
seventeen different persons were secured
by this doctor and adroitly stitched to
the head of Mr.. Finlay. When it was
done, people came miles to see Finlay's
head, and Finlay himself, with his
checker-board Uranium, was the happi-
est man in Oriskany. But when the
capillary glands got in working order,
and the hair commenced to grow, the
top of that mans head presented the
most extraordinary spectacle on record.
The doctor, who was about half the
time in liquor, had consulted e1pedi-
ency rather than Judgment, and secured
that new scalp without any reference
to future developments. We never saw
anything like it. Here was q tuft of
yellow hair, and next to it q bit of
black, and then a fame of red, and a
little like silk, and more like tow, with
brown hair and gray hair, and sandy
hair, and cream cOlored hair, scattered
Over his entire skull. And what a mad
man that Finlay was, and nobody could
blame him. He would stand up against
the barn for an hour at a time and sob
and swear. 1t was very fortunate that
the doctor was dead. He went off two
weeks before with blue ague, which is a
mild sort of disease. Finlay kept his
hair cut short, but hat didn't make
any difference. Then he tried dyes, but
they only made matters worse. Then
he got a wig, and this covered up the de-
formity ; but sometimes at church he
would get asleep, and the wig would
fall off, and make the children CRY.
Once at the county fair he fell asleep
and the wig dropped of, and the com
mittee On domestic goods, when they
came around, stood in front of Finlay's
head for some five minutes in wrapped
delight. They then Immediately decided
that it was the most ingenious piece of
patchwork in the list, and never discov-
cred the mistake until they attempted
to pin the premium card to it. At that
Finlay awoke, and knocked down the
chairman of the committee and chased
the others out of the building. We
hope those New Haven doctors have
been more particular, as it is not a sub
ject to trifie with.-Danbury News.
