"Well, you haYen't lost anything
But, my dear sir, am distressed not
withstanding. Being certain of what you
said to me confided this good thing to
my parishioners, and they"
"Hev lost, hev they. Well, people
should never tech stock onless they know
the market, or hev some friend like me to
make 'em good ef they lose"
The joke of the thing lay in the fact
that Daniel finding himself loaded with a
stock that was sure to go down took this
way to unload. He told the preacher
knowing that the preacher would tell his
parishioners. 1t was he who sold them
all the stock they bought He could
we'll afford to make good the preachers
loss, if thereby he could unload the re-
mainder upon the preachers friends.
Daniel was handled roughly by Jay
Gould and Jim Fisk, aud he was hurt Sc
verely last fall, but despite all this he is
rich man and is power in the street.
But his riches never can make him
friends, for be is too selfish.

ThieVing.

One of the most complicated extradi- tion cases that has yet arisen for inter- national decision was that of the Com munist Bignon and his wife, who have been recently convicted at Paris of petty crimes committed during the saturnalia of 1871. It seems that Big non and another officer of one of the Federal battalions established them selves in the house of wealthy family of the name of Leblond, at Passy, and. not content with living free of expense. carried off from time to time such trihing articles of virtue as struck. their fancy. A packet of these was made up at the last moment before the entry of MacMahon's troops, and confided to 8 secretary whom Bignon was 50 good as to employ to aid him in his official correspondence but on his employer disappearing at tho first alarm of the fall of the enceinte, this young man had the good sense to restore the property to it's rightful owners. It was ascertained by the police that Bignon had previously sent off other valu- ables from the house by one of the rail roads, and Q further stock of these spells of civil war was found at lodg- ing occupied by the worthy officer s mother. On these grounds his extradi- tion, as we'll as that of his wife, who had shared his guilt, was demanded by the French authorities of those of Switzerland, to which State they had escaped with a number of other lead ing spirits of the Commune, while the more determined part of their accom- plices were attempting to burn Paris down. A long diplomatic correspond ence ensued, and finally the French Government pledged itself that no pro- c,eiiugs should he t.;!<en against Big non on account of his condemnation par co,atunaGce by court-martial for his share in the civil war, but that he and his wife should be tried solely for their acts of private robbery, and that by a civil tribunal. On this understandine they were duly delivered up, and the Gazette des ITS6un0ur has just record. ed their conviction by the Correctional Tribunal, which sentenced Bignon to five years Imprisonment and his wife tc three years.

The Open Valves.

A reporter called on board one of the European steamers to ask an explana- tion of the telegram in regard to the French steamer Amerique, in which it is stated that "the accident and leak ing were caused by the valves being left open" The Chief Engineer, to whom he was referred, said that he supposed that the valves alluded to were those technically called "sea corks," which were placed in the bottom of the ship, and through which the water was sup piled to the condenser of the engine. This water after passing through the condenser is elected from the side of the ship by means of 8 pipe called the "bilge ejector," the orice of which is u4ually above the water mark, but sometimes below, when vessel is deep- ly laden.s It is most probable that if the loss of the Amerique was owing to leakage through the valves, it entered through the tssea cork" When the orifice of the s sbilge eiector 1" is below the surface of the water, it immediately rushes in the moment the engine ceases to work, unless it is closed. In case of g leak at sea, the water supplied by the leak is used for the condenser, and the "sea cork immediately closed. The valves need very close attention, as if left open 8 large vessel would be sunk in three or four hours. If they were left open in the Amerique it could only have been the result of the most gross carelessness on the part of the engineer in charge. If the leak arose from any other cause the valves should have been closed at once.

"For the Blood is the L1fe.,,

See Deuteronomy Chap. xii, Verse 23. The blood being the source from which our systems are built up and from which we derive our mental as well as physical capabilities, how ina portant that it should be kept pure. If it con- tains vile fostering posons all organic functions are weakened thereby. Settling upon impor tant organs, as the lungs, liver or kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence it behooves every one to keep their blood in perfectly healthy condition and more especially does this apply at this particular season of the year than at any other. No matter what the exciting cause may be, the real cause of 8 large propor- ton of all diseases is bad blood. Now Dr. Pierce does not wish to place his Golden Medi- cal Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nostrums by recommending it to cure every disease nor dees he 80 recommend it, on the contrary there are hundreds of diseases that he acknowledges it will not cure; but what he does claim is this that there is but one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that disease Is cancer. He does not recommend his be the most searching blood cleanser yet dis covered and that it will free the blood and sys- tenn of all other known blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral The Golden Discovery is .carronted by him to cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all forms of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions, also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst forms of Scrofulous and Liberated Sores of Neck, Legs, or other parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases of the Bones, as White swellings, Fever Sores, HID JOlDt HuU Oplu61 AAS0dbO5, 64 OA WAAAOA W. | long to Scrofulous diseases. .-e' -s, sa~.-.

Glad Tidings for the Slaves of King
 Alcohol.

How many manly form is palsied :; how many noble mind is destroyed {; how many priceless soul lost through the curse of strong drink To the de- spairing victims of the Satanic tyrant Alcohol, whose shattered nerves, and trembling limbs, and racking head aches, seem to find no relief except in the renewed use of the fatal poison which brings them every day nearer to their miserable end, we announce glad tidings of great joy DR. WA1KER's VINEGAR BlTTERs contain not 8 single drop of alcohol in any form, but are 8 sovereign remedy for the ills of drunkenness. They restore tone and strength to the system, and entirely eradicate the pernicious appetite for liquor. Try few bottles of VINEGAR BITTERs, and you will never crave strong spirits again, but find your health repaired, your mind restored, and be once more man in the best sense. Health is cheap when VINEGAR BITTERs are $1 bottle.

Honey.

Here is fact for some of our lady housekeepers. One of the difficulties in regard to the purchase of liquid or syrup honey in quantity is, that it soon candies or crystalizes. This difficulty can be obviated by keeping it in the dark, the change being due to photo graphic action. The same agent that alters the molecular arrangement of iodide of silver on the excited collodion plate causes the honey to assume 8 crystalic form. IL is to this action of light that scientists attribute the work ing of bees by night, and why they are so careful to obscure the glass windows that are sometimes placed in their hives. Is this instinct or reason?

Constipation.

Many feeble people and invalids who are troubled with constipation of the bowels may be permanently benefited by using very little of the common tincture of nux vomica. A druggist will give half an ounce for five cents : then put two drops into about half an ounce of cold water, and keep it for use. Each day when it is needed, put one drop into part of a tumbler of cold water and drink it all, several times during the day. Do not take any more than this in one day; but it may be continued each day until permanently cured. Graham bread and vegetable diet are great help for this trouble ; but they are not agreeable to some peo- ple's tastes, and are not easily obtained by many who know that they might be benefited by them.

OBSTRUCTION IN DIsGUIsE.-It is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and
acid astringents are often given for
medicines. They are potent to destroy i!
and may be safely warranted TO rum,
morally and physically, any human be-
ing that sticks to them long enough.
More drunkards have been made by
these villainous concoctions, labeled
medicines, than by the liquors OF COM
merce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised
as remedies, are more mischievous than
tavern drains. For intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, as we'll as for all other
diseases which these fiery frauds are

cartridge after cartridge of nitro glyce-

moment his hand touches one of the
