HELMBoLD's BUCHU-the only extract
of that wonderful curative shrub that con-
tains its full virtues, is still considered the
true specific for Kidney Diseases Gravel
Diabetes, Calculus, Dropsy, and those OBJ
scure diseases that undermine life and rob
it of enjoyment. DR.. Helmbold, who spent
fortune in making his discovery known,
has lived to see it endorsed by the physi-
clans and people of two continents. Re-
member that it is Heznebolds Extract that
cures when all others fail. For sale by all
druggists.

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE
We congratulate the Temperance world
on the success everywhere attending the
use of VINEGAR BITTERs. Certainly no
preparation containing alcohol has accom-
plished such cures of malarious fever, bill
iousness, dyspepsia, rheumatism. lung com
plants, constipation, and general debility,
we hear of from all quarters, as the results
of this famous vegetable specific. No true
philanthropist will regret to see splrtuous
liquors expelled from medical use, if they
can be safely dispensed with: and that
they are not necessary in any case of sick
ness, whatever its character, appears at
last to have been demonstrated If fpublic
opinion is capable of making any impress
sion upon the minds of the Faculty, they
will ere long introduce the most popular
of modern medicines into the hospitals, and
prescribe it in their practice. The millions
have given the article a fair trial; it has
more than answered their expectations, and
no theoretical opposition can shake their
faith in it.

The District Ring,

That the District Ring is going to cx-
perience difficulty in getting through
Congress its little appropriation of S4,-
100000 for street improvements, there
is no longer reason to doubt, The
Committee on the District Of Columbia
has been reinforced by the addition of
several new members, among the num-
Ter two or three gentlemen who reside
in cities where public improvements are
made at the expense of the properly
benefited. These latter gentlemen can
not understand why the owners Of prop.
erty in Washington should be exempted
from the payment of the expenses in,
Cured bv the Board Of Public Works
in improving and beautifying their city.
They are wiling to vote an appropria
lion for paving the streets fronting on
land owned and occupied by the Ma.
tional Government but are not dispos-
ed to draw on the Treasury to improve
private property. Hon. John B. Rice,
of Chicago. who is a member Of the
committee, is said to be quite indignant,
and to have vigorously denounced the
idea of making the proposed donation.
While he was Mayor Of Chicago a large
portion of that city was raised to grad
and the streets paved, and he has no
recollection that the General Govern.
ment was called on to foot any Of the
bills Of the contractors 1t is thought
that Governor Shepherd and the ring

pockets the cost Of improving theil

A California Wonder,

The tract of country known as the
State Range Valley is probably one of
the most curious that Southern CsIifor-
MIA can boast of. 1t is there the i'm
mense deposits of borax we're discov
cred something like year ago, and at
that time the whole lower or central
part Of the basin was covered with a
white deposit, breaking away in some
places in large soda reefs, in Others re
sembling the waves of the ocean, and
| in still Others stretching out for miles
in one unbroken level, from which the
sun reflected its rays with glare al
most uncomfortable. Bnt one of the
most singular features in connection
with this section was the absence of
rain or moisture; the days were ever
sunny and hot, the nights without dew
and generally warm For more thar
five years, it is said by those who CLAIM
to know, there had been no rain there
until some three months since the spell
was broken. Suddenly, and with scarce
ly any warning, rain commenced to fall
and for thirty hours came down steadi!,
and increasingly, unaccompanied by
wind, but yet thorough drenchins
rain. For two or three days it remain
ed pleasant, when suddenly water
spout was seen winding its way through
the valley. 1t came in a zgzag cours
scross the upper end of the lake, stri
king the range of hills on the east side
and coursing rapidly along them. Th
canyons and gorges were soon fiilet
with water, which poured from them il
