Diseases of the Blood.

1.-The Blood is the Life" When this source
is corrupted, the painful and sorrow-produc-
ing effects are visible in many shapes. The
multifarious forms in which it manifestS it.
SELF would form subjects upon which might
write volumes. But as all the varied forms
of disease which depend upon bad blood are
cured, or best treated, by such medicines as
take up from this fluid and eXcrete from the
system the noXious elements, it is not OF prac-
teal importance that should describe each.
For instance, medical authors describe about
fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they all,
require for their cure very similar treatment
it is of no practical utility to know what name
to apply to certain form of skin disease, so
you know how best to cure it. Then again |
might 30 on and describe various kinds of
scrOfulOus sores, fever sores, white swellings,
enlarged glands, and ulcers of varying APP
peaTance; might describe how yirulent pol
son may show itself in various forms of erup-
tons, ulcers, sore throat, bony tumOrs, ETC.;
but as all these various appearing manifesto
tons of bad blood are cured by uniform
means, l deem such a course unnecessary.
Thoroughly cleanse the blood, which is the
great fountain of life, and good digestion,
fair skin, buoyant spirits, vital strength, and
sOundneSs of constitution, will all return to
us. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pargative Pellets are
pre-eminently the articles needed. They are
warranted TO cure letter, Salt Rheum, Scald

The Champion Church Beggar.

Abiding to the recent dedication of the
Rev. Mr.. Talmage's new Tabernacle in
Brooklyn, and to the raising of money to
pay off church Indebtedness, ''Burleigh"
writes to the Boston Journal that ''the
great beggar of the continent, as he is call
ed, is Rev. L. f. Ives, of Auburn. New
York. He has attended the dedication of
800 churches. most of which he has freed
from debt. He usually takes several days
in the preparation. Meetings are held,
plans are drawn, leading men consulted,
and the sum agreed upon placed on a list.
The audience see the smooth operation of
the work the machinery, the pullies, and
the wires are out of sight. The time de
voted to the collection is given up eXclu-
sively to Mr.. Ives. He clears the deck
like a commodore preparing for action.
During the two hours and half of his
work he makes things lively. He is full
of racy anecdote, humorous story, illustra-
ton, and incident. AS If in doubt how to
proceed, he suggests that they begin with
81 900 subscriptions, or $500. The men
who have agreed to subscribe those sums
are in different parts of the house. and ring
out the amounts sonOrously. The good
work goes on until the smaller sums are
reached. All the while the getting of
money is interspersed with story and song,
and the mirthfllness of the audience is
kept up to fervid range. All this ma
chinery was introduced at the Tabernacle
dedication to lift subscription of $4,000.
Mr.. Ives was in his glory. His sailies
brought peals of laughter from the mouth
as well as money from the pocket. He
gets well paid for this work he receives
from $3.50 to 81 900 a Sunday, according
to the amount raised. In his sphere he is
supreme. He is in constant demand, and
is quite at home wherever called"

Inhabitants Of SOuth Pacific Islands,

Landing at New Hanover, an island in
the South Pacific TO the east of New
Guinea, Captain Simpson, of III. b. NJ.
ship Blanche, last year found men and
women very much i'm a state of nature,
who. he thinks. had never before been Wis
tied by white men. They were ignorant
of the use of tobacco, and old pieces of
paper were taken by them in preference to
the usual trade articles. Both men and
women came alongside the ship in great
numbers, and showed no fear. They had
little or nothing for barter except spears.
They appeared good-humored, but are ar
rant thieves. A party of officers who
landed there had their pockets picked.
Captain Simpson also visited the neigh
boring island of New Britain. Here he
found two spacious bays or harbOrs, with
good anchorage, landlocked, and sheltered
from all winds. In one of these harbors
he believes there is space, with from twen-
ty to five fathoms of water, for the navies
of the world 10 anchor in. Clustered on
a narrow ledge at the base of two singular
sandstone rocks is a village containing
about two hundred inhabitants, who evil
IDENTIFY support themselves by fishing.
Many of the houses are built in the water
on piles. They had numerous canoes
moored around them.
In the Ngaric group of islands one only
was found to be Inhabited. and the history
of its people may be told in few words.
They number about one hundred, and of
these no less than sixty are children. The
people say that about forty years ago a
captain from Sydney took the island and
destroyed all the Inhabitants, or nearly
all. Some years after that man named
Paddy came with some natives of Ponope
island and settled there, claiming the is
land as his own, and the population has
since rapidly increased. What became OF
Paddy we are not told.-Ap7a GALAXY.

LIGHT exerts a chemical action which
tends to purify the air we breathe, and to
infuse strength into our own frames. Dark
rooms are unfit for the dwellings of human

CRUEL FOR THE SICK.-Let Indian corn
be Drowned as we roast coffee, ground fine

thin cakes, baked light brown. This will
beretained by the most enfeebled stomach.
Parched corn, and meal boiled in skim

CRANBERRY MARMALADE.-Sweet and
insipid apples, and those which are past
their prime and need to be cut up on ac-
count Of decay, may be made very accept
able by stewing and mixing with stewed
cranberries in the proportion, say of one
part cranberries to two parts apple. Not
quite so much sugar will be required as
for cranberries alone, unless the apples
are sour. Strain through a colander, mix
evenly, and serve at any meal.
RHUBARB VNEGAR.-Drain off the first
water from rhubarb when it has stewed
minutes evaporate it to the requisite de-
gree of sourness, and use it instead of vine
gar for the table and for cooking. 1t is an
agreeable acid, and in many cases it can be
used instead of lemon. 1t is a natural
acid. and therefore much more wholesome
than vinegar formed by the decay of sweets
or by any other chemical process. 1t may
be evaporated (by gentle heat to an in
tense degree of sourness, and kept in cans
or in bottles for future use, and reduced
with water when wanted.

put in the cocoanut and stir well before
adding the milk and cake crumbs; LASTLY

the rest of the whites stiff with 3 table

DR.. MCCoRMAC of London advances the
theory that consumption or tubercular dis
ease is caused solely by breathing air that
has already been breathed. Vienna is a
healthier city than st. Petersburg, because
in the latter city close stores are in uni
versal use and fresh air is carefully eXclud-
ed from rooms. Eating the flesh of tuber-
culous creatures will not produce tubercle
in healthy animals to whom is fed. Fats
counteract the tendency to consumption.
Observation shows that persons who in
early life show taste for fat meat seldom
fall victim to this disease and rice versa,
that consumptives have early shown re-
pugnance to such food. 1t is suggested
that if the appetite for it is wanting it
should, if possible, be created by tones and
abundant exercise in the open air.

the would-be suicide. When the walk
commenced it was with great difficulty
that he could be kept going, and so great
was his stupOr that at times he would al

necessary 10 catch him and move him on.
He reeled at times like drunken man, and
then again he would revive considerably.
The .dreary, monotonous walk was kept
up without intermission until half past 6
O'Clock yesterday morning, when the phys

A Fifteen Hours Walk for Life.

On Sunday afternoon a young man
named George Falk swallowed, as he
stated. three ounces of laudanum and five
grains of morphia, in order to end his life,
as was reported yesterday. There was but
one way of saving him, and that was to
keep him in motion. After relieving him
as far as possible. his physician, DIR. NJ. j..
Gately, ordered that he be walked until he
was out of danger. At half past O'Clock
Sunday afternoon he was put upon his
tramp for life. and was forced TO walk in
the open air as rapidly as he could. His
father kept by him for long time, and
friend or policeman assisted. After some
hours the father gave out. and finally
officers and friends grew tired. At last
officers had to he taken from their beats

COME, AND LET Us REASON TOGETHER.
To the afflicted in body, we offer few
words of plain, practical reasoning. No
matter under what form of sickness you
labor there is one great truth you should
ever keep in mind, viz: All disease origin
ates in an impure condition of the blood.
Purify that, and the disease must depart,
for it has nothing to feed on but you can
not purify the blood by the use of poison
Gus drugs, and exhaustive stimulants; the
relief which these afford is temporary and
deceptive, leaving you worse off at every
interval. The best Blood Purifier ever dis
covered is DR.. WALKERS FAMOUS YIN
EGAR BTTTERs, compounded of simple
herbs. No matter how hopeless your case
may seem, try the VINEGAR BITTERS, and

virtue. DIR. Walker, the discOverer of this
priceless remedy, had been given up to die
by the Physicians, and is now sound and

IRE on the steamer Pat Rogers has shed no
additional light on the origin OF the are, except
to dtssipate the suspicion which rested on q
negro discharged from the boats employ. The
number on board. all told, IL supposed 10 have
been from ~ to IS persons. The exact number
cannot be had. Reports Of the loss have ranged
from 10 to % persons; probably Is is the number
nearest the fact. Citizens aud passengers do
not attach blame TO the captain and Off GERS; st
all events IL has not been EXPRESSED. The sus-
pense and uncertainty rs to the fate OF the
missing have added intensity TO the painful
interest felt in the calamity here At this time
45 persons are known 70 have been saved.

With rare presence of mind Mrs. Eastman chose
the aft side of the boat, and hastily whispering
few words OF instruction in her friends ear
leaped into the water, her arm interlocked In
that of Miss Sturgus. When they came 70 the
surface they were still clasped IN each Others
arms. Their life-pTeservers were not TASTE ned ,
and they retained them with great officially.
Mrs. Eastman, remembering that she had once

enabled to approach and grasp q door, to which
the two chung until towed ashore by Mr.. HUFF

SIR: In compliance with your instructions we

on Fort Washington, on the evening OF the Both
May, 1874, and after having reviewed said testi-
mony, both on the part or the officers of the
Lady OF the Lake, together with a number OF
disinterested passengers of said steamer, we
fnd that the pilot in charge of the Lady of the
Lake complied with all the rules and regula-
tons for the government of pilots, applicable
to said case, and Is therefore exonerated from
all blame in the premises.
We deem it our duty to report to you that we
found Ii impracticable, after several efforts 90
our part, to procure any evidence from the Off .
GERS on duty during the colision) of the steam
