Imperial Toys.

The youthful members of the Russian
imperial family have toys which few
other children in the world would dream
of. On the ornamental waters of the
garden attached to the winter palace at
st. Petersburg floats a model of the
English steam frigate, the Warrior. 1t
is perfect steamboat in every respect.
Within the palace is a miniature rail-
road, the operation of which is thus
described by an English writer: "The
little Express engine steamed away in
grand style over the sixty feet of circu-
lar rails laid down as a track at the rate
of something like ten miles an hour,
and 1.-THE carriages attached were as per-
feet as could be, the interior of each
being replee with cushions trimmed
with crimson satin, the outsides bearing
the imperial arms and, taken alto
gether, we may fairly say that more
charming model train could not pos
sibly be constructed to amuse the young
princes of Russia" The official who
ordered this princely plaything, in do
ing so, said to the constructor "You
will afford great pleasure to her imperial
majesty by sending, in addition to the
complete railway train, locomotive in
pieces. The ready made steam railway
train will serve for the amusement of
the little princes, but it is also nee, s.
sary to have, for instruction, another
locomotive sent here. This last must
be prepared in separate pieces, so that
those pieces can be put together and
the whole of the machinery fitted here
in st. Petersburg by our young princes. "
It is satisfaction to know that such ex-
pensive toys have in reality a practical

Carlyle on Capital and Labor.

The look of England is to me at this
moment abundantly ominous, the
question of capital and labor growing
ever more snarchical, insoluble by the
notions hitherto applied to it, pretty
certain to issue in petroleum one day,
unless some other gospel than that of
the dismal science come to illuminate
it. Two things are pretty SIRE to me.
The first is that capital and labor never
can or will agree together till they both
first of all decide on doing their work
faithfully throughout, and like men Of
conscious and honor, whose highest aim
is to behave like faithful citizens of this
universe, and obey the eternal COM
mandment of Almighty God who made
them. The second thing is that sad
der object even than that of the coal
strike, or any conceivable strike, is the
fact that, loosely speaking, we may say
that all England has decided that the
proftablest way is to do its work i'll,
simply, swiftly, and mendaciously.
What contrast between now and say
only one hundred years ago. At the
latter date, or still more conspicuously
for ages before it, all England awoke to
its work with an invocation to the Eter-
nal Maker to bless them in their days
labor, and help them to do it well.
Now, all England. shopkeepers, work
men, all manner of competing laborers
awakens as if it were an unspoken but
heartfelt prayer to Beelzebub, sob,
help us, thou great Lord of shoddy,
aduIteration, and malfeasance, to do
our work with the maximum of slim
ness, swiftness, profit, and mendacity,
for the devils sake. Amen"

Admiral semmes' disabilities

Senator Gordon, of Georgia, who was
a noted leader in the rebellion, holding
a command under Gen. Lee in all his
operations, has had referred to the Judi
ciary committee a bill to remove the
disabilities of Raphael Semmes, the
notorious commander of the steamship
Alabama. In his petition, applying for
pardon, Mr.. Semmes says:
The undersigned respectfully shows unto
your honorable bodies that prior to the late
war between the United States and the Con
federate States, he was a commander in the
navy of the United States, domiciliated in the
state of Alabama, of which state he had been
a citizen for number of years; that viewing
the questions at issue between the Northern
and Southern states from a southern stand
point, he believed in the right of the seces-
sion of state for cause. Therefore, in a
contest of allegiance as between his state and
the Federal government, he believed his allie
gience to be ultimately due to his state; that
when his state seeded he felt himself in
honor bound to follow her fortunes for better
or for worse that his state did secede and
upon the happening of that event he rendered
his resignation to the then secretary of the
navy, who well knew the object of the tender
and that his resignation was accepted: that
being by such acceptance relieved from his
obligations to the Federal government. which
grew out of his late commission. he returned
u Inc 5jdb6 WHICH Nc D6u6N6u was 0DJ1fleQ to
his allegiance took up arms in her defense
and defended her and the Confederate States,
of which she had become member, to the
best of his ability That a. the close of the
war he retired to private life, and has again
become citizen Of the United States having
as a voter of Alabama sworn to support and
!efend the constitution of the United States
and the Union of the states. Having thus
renewed his allegiance to the Federal consti-
tuition in good faith, he desires the prompt
r,,fTr OIl L.
may deal with the subject of the late differ
ence between the two sections. He has the
natural affection of an American citizen for
the land of his birth, and the same pride as
formerly in the glory and prosperity of his
whole country, and he now requests your hon
orable bodies to remove the political disabili-
ties under which he has so long labored. and
restore him to full and free embrace of the
only country which he cares to claim.
Respectfully, RAPHAEL SEMMES.

New York, July 9, 1873.
DIR. R. V. PIERCE, NJ. D.:
Dear 4Str--Your favor is just received. lin
tended to have written to you several weeks
since concerning the improvement in my
health, which is now very apparent. l have
used one bottle of Favorite Prescription with
the best results, although I will admit l was
somewhat discouraged after IFS use (for
short time only. 1 took it under very dissd-
vantageous circumstances, having the super
vision of the house. and during the season of
"house cleaning" I was obliged through the
incompetency of help, to do more than l
lifted when l ought not to have raised my
hand and did all could to bring - order out
of chaos :" but upon laying aside all cares and
continuing the remedy find after using less
than one bottle to be so much benefited that
| have discontinued the use, with no return of
the symptoms of which | wrote you. 1 have
suffered terribly and what added to my dis
tress was the consciousness of not procuring
relief fro i ordinary sources: at times il SEEM
ed about impossible to stand, so great was the
distress. All of those severe neuralgia pains
have disappeared; they were so bad at times l
could hardly wslk without some external pres
sure. They seem to have left me like magic,
suddenly, and have had no return; all other
symptoms have been removed. The severe
weakness and fantness have disappeared and
l can go up stairs with comparative ease now.
[ would have informed you ere this of my I'M
provement, for I appreciated it, but was
fearful 1t was only transient benefit was re-
ceiving but think sufficient time has elapsed
to consider the beneficial results permanent.
Accept of my best wishes for your future sue
cess and your kindness in advising me.
Very truly MRS. NJ. NETTIE SNYDER.

THE CHURCH SPIDER.

Two spiders, so the story goes,
Upon living bent,
Entered the Westinghouse one day,
And hopefully were heard to say,
Here we shall at least have fair play;
With nothing to prevent"
Each chose his place and went to work;
The light webs grew apace;
One on the altar spun his thread,
But shortly came the sexton dread,
And swept him off, and so, half dead,
He sought another place.
"IT try the pulpit next, 4" said he,
"There surely is a prize;
The desk appears so neat and clean,
I'm sure no spider there has been;
Besides how often have seen
The pastor brushing flies"
He tried the pulpit, but alas!
His hopes grew visionary;
With busting brush the sexton came,
And spoilt h geometric game,
Nor gave him time nor space to claim
The right of sanctuary.
At length. half-sfarved, and weak and lean,
He sought his former neighbOr,
Who now had grown so sleek and round,
He weighed the fraction Of pound,
And looked as if the art he'd found
OF living without labor.
allow is it, friend, 4" he asked. " that
Endure such thumps and knocks,
While you have grown so very gross ;"

nice gravy. Beat three or four eggs,
with half t.acupful of new milk and
pinch of salt. When the bread is hot,
pour the eggs over it and cover it for a
few minutes stir lightly, so that all the
eggs may be cooke J.. This is a nice

The Spirit of the Rose.

Altar, or ottar, of rose is the utter
most virtue of her-the intens,, trans
cendent spirit of perfume which sur
wives as an immortal essence, when the
fair flower itself is dead. What, then,
Is this essence? Even Professor Tyn-
dali, the magician of science, with his
tubes of glass and electric beam. hes
never seen that spirit of the rose. There
must, never theless, be something which
exists and exhales. How else could a
little touch of musk spread its keen
odor for years and years undiminished
And how else is it that, as good Mos
lens believe, the scent waited by the
angels wing-beat still fingers in the
place of the visions of the prophet
True altar of roses is all but indelibIe,
ineffaceable, immortal. Enthusiasts
for the noblest pleasures of the nose
must not deem that they inhale this ce-
lestiaI fragrance when they buy those
deceitful little bottles of glass and gold
cunningly wrapped in Oriental-looking
paper and boxes. Veritable altar is not
liquid at all, or only iquefies at sum-
mer heat, when it appears as golden
tinted oil or mucilage, too precious to
use in a flask or vessel. The erudite
eastern perfumer touches that golden
glohule with tuft of pure, snow-clean
cotton wool, and it is that impregnated
tuft which he sells as the vehicle of fra
GRANGE to has delighted customer

MODERN MEDICAL DIsCOvERY.-It is
claimed that disease, with few excep-
tions, has been conquered by the re-
search and intellect of enlightened
men and yet noted professor of New
York admits that "of all sciences. med
icine is the most uncertain" and that
thousands are annually slaughtered
in the sick room" Certain " schools
of medicine are in existence, one of
which "makes the patient Ill, " in order
to claim cure and another admins
tiers "sugar- coated bread pills" ralyin3
upon nature to effect her own cures.
Dr. J. Walker, of California, an old
and respected physician, tried both
modes of treatment and both failed.
He then appealed to natures curative =
herbs; and now enjoys rugged health.
He has given the benefit of his discov-
cry to the world, in the shape of Vine
gar Bitters, and since its introduction
has sold quantity almost large enough
to make small harbor, or to float the
"Great Eastern" It's curative proper
ties are attested by grateful thousands.

Canada Horses,

The race of horses known as French
Canadians are probably to be found
in the neighborhood of Montreal more
readily than elsewhere. They derive
peculiar qualities from original French
horses imported many years ago, and
much of the Percheron blood is to be
found there. For hor. es of extra
quality high prices will have to be paid,
but fair working teams are often to be-
procured at from $3.50 to S400- The
cost of transportation would be about
$50 per head from Montreal to any
place no further west than Buffalo. The
import duty used to be 80 per cent IN
gold. If there is any change it is re-
cent, and has escaped our notice. By
writing to the secretary of the treasury
at Washington information of this can
be procured. There is no formality to
be observed but to enter the horses at
the port of entry and pay the duty.
Stock for breeding purposes are, we
believe, free of duty.

Match at ST. Louis for the Champion.

A. ca To-,;,

ship OF the United states.
From the st. Louis Democrat.
Fourth street, near Pine, was yester-
day the scene of an exciting contest
which has for some time past caused
much speculation and anticipation in
railroad circles. This was the match
for 5000 q side and the champions
check, between Ed. Barclay (the cham
pion), of the Chicago and Alton rail-
road, and John G. McFall, better
known as 'Mac," of the Vandalia line,
10 single rises, each man to furnish for
the other, American rules to govern.
The betting was lively, opening at
three Saratogas to two on Barclay, and
closing at valise to carpet bag in his
favor.
Judges and referee having been Sc
lected In accordance with the articles,
and McFall winning the toss, each man
wheeled up truck loaded with bag
gage, and covered with tarpaulin, and
placed it in position for his opponent.
The match being under American rules,
only one trial was allowed. At 4:13
P. NJ. the men spat on their hands, and
amid silence so intense that bundle
of checks might have been heard to fall
on the Planters house sidewalk, the ref
cree swung his lamp thrice around his
head and gave the word, $50 ahead. -
