Brilliant Success.

It is permitted to few men or COM
panies to achieve acknowledged superb
ority in any important position or bust
ness. The present generation has wit
messed stupendous rivalry in several
branches of industry, and notably the
Sewing Machine business. Amid o
multitude of competitors, steadily and
surely the Wheeler & Wilson Company
held their way from the beginning,
upon fixed and honorable principles.
Long since, their leading position i'll
America was established. Abroad, at
London, in 1862, they won the highest
premiums at Paris, in 1867, they dis:
tanced eighty-two competitors, and
were awarded the highest premium, the
only Gold Medal for Sewing Machines
exhibited and lastly, amid unparal.
leled competition, followed the splendid
triumphs at Vienna, noted in our ad
yertising columns.

Strange Case.

Apoor woman, rustic in a French
village, being somewhat deficient as to
intellect, her family applied to quack
for advice, and received instructions to
administer cold shower-baths. This
apparently harmless prescription was
carried ont in very remarkable man
ner. They tied the patient to tree,
and her husband, climbing up into it
with large watering-pot from his gar
den. calmly and conscientiously drelch-
ed his poor wife with its icy contents.
The consequence of this performance,
which took place in open day. close to
the high road from Paris to Toulouse,
was the death next day of the thorough
ly chilled patient.

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure OF liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vegetable
kingdoms have been diligently searched to
procure the most drastic and poisonous purga-
tives, in order to produce powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse The tagging and
enfeebled organ. The system Of treatment ID
on the same principle as that OF giving weak
and debilitated man large portions OF brandy
to enable him to do certain amount Of work.
When tho stimulant is withheld, the organ
like the system, gradually relapses into more
torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then is wanted7 Medi.
cines, that, while they cause the bile to flow
freely from the liver, as that organ is toned
into action, will not oyerwork and thus debili.
tate it, but will when their use is discontinued
leave the liver strengthened and healthy.

Mr.. Johnson, British cultivator Of
the vine, has come to the conclusion,
after trying all other methods known,
that there is no better method for graft
ing vines than the one he very properly
calls dove-tail grating. The stock
should be from one to three years old.
and the scion inserted opposite bud
or spur. Having selected the stock,
the wood should be cut out of it about
two incnes in length, to a depth equal
to the thickness OF the scion, in the
same manner dove-tailing is done By
cabinet makers. The scion is then
divided in the middle, and fitted neatly
into the stock with the bud midway
from either end, and then firmly tied
with mating and clawed over, as in
other methods Of grating, leaving a
small hole for the growth of the bud.
Damp moss is tied over the hole, and
after the bud starts, the shoot opposite
is shortened in and entirely removed.
The grating should be done before the
sap is in motion.

FINANCIAL.

Money continues firm and in good de-
mand, though we believe, the banks are
still able TO accommodate most of the de-
mands for loans. There is also good
street demand for money and individual
notes are offered for sale quite freely.
Gold opened in New York at 1929, adj
vanced to 10 and closed at 1903. For the
small lots offered here our dealers pay 100,
while they hold at 10. Silver is taken at
103 for halves and quarters.
Government securities are rather better.
The 5-2O's of 1867 are the only ones dealt
in here, and are quoted in New 1Orx at
1I6s bid. We suppose our dealers would
pay 1l6 and sell at III.
Tennessee bonds appear decidedly weak,
being quoted in New York at 1880,
while sales OF the funded series are reported
at So. There is no demand for these
bonds here and We believe dealers decline
TO buy when they are offered.
The Morris city bonds which fell due on
the first are stu uuprovided for. The non
PAYMENT Of these bonds has proved 4 severe
blow toour local bonds generally, especially
