Receipts for Making DIR. sage's Catarrh

Something over year since. q periodical
issued i'm Berlin, Prussia, and laying claims to a
scientific character, published what was repre-
scented as being the formula or receipts for
making DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The
people were left to infer that these had been
deducted from careful chemical analysis OF
the medicines, which are rapidly growing in
popular favor in THAT az well az in this and
most other civilized countries. The receipts
were evidently invented 10y those jealous of
the reputation and large sale which these
medicines are rapidly acquiring and who are
pecuniarily interested in endeayoring to check
their sale So ridiculously preposterous are
those receipts that medicines compounded
after them could never have gained any repu-
tation or sale in any country for hey would be

lively injurious. as in every case to be prompt

Strength OF Metals. Woods, Etc.

II is remarkable provision OF nature
that iron, which is the most abundant
material yielded by the earth, is also
the strongest of all known substances.
Made into the best steel, rod one
fourth of an inch in diameter Will sus-
tain 5000 pounds before breaking
made into soft steel, rod of the same
dimensions will sustain 1000 pounds ;
into iron wire, 5000; wrought iron,
1000; inferior bar-iron, 1000; and
cast-iron, 1000 to 5000. A bar of cop
per wire of the same size will sustain
5000 pounds of silver, 1000; gold,
$500; tin, 300; cast zinc, 100; cast
lead, so; and milled lead, 200. OF
wood, bar of box and locust of equal
size will sustain 1000 pounds of
toughest ash, 1000; elm, 500; beech,
cedar, white oak, pitch-pine, 500; chest
nut and maple, $50; ana poplar, 400.
Wood which will bear a heavy weight
for minute or two will break with two
thirds the force acting long time. A
rod of iron is about ten times as strong
as hemp-cord. A rope an inch in
diameter will bear about q tons, but in
practice it is not safe to subject il to q
strain of more than about a ton. De-
crease the rope in diameter one-half,
and its strength will decrease three
fourths. Thus a rope-half an inch in
diameter will sustain one fourth as much
as rope an inch in diameter.

The Simple Secret.

Twenty clerks in store, twenty
hands in a printing Office, twenty APP
prentices in ship-yard, twenty young
men in a village, all want to get on in
the world and expect to do so. One OF
the clerks will become a partner, and
make a fortune one of the compositors
will own a newspaper, and become an
influential citizen one of the appren-
tees will become master builder one
of the young villagers will get hand
some farm, and live like patriarch-but
which one is the lucky individual ?
Lucky There's no luck about it.
The thing is almost as certain as the
rule of three The young fellow who
will distance his competitors is he who
masters his business, who preserves his
integrity, who lives clearly and purely,
who devotes his leisure to the acquisi-
ton of knowledge, who gains friends by
deserving them, and who saves his
spare money. There are some ways to
fortune shorter than this dusty old
highway but the staunch men of the
community, the men who achieve some
thing really worth having, good for
tune, good name, and serene old age,
all go in this road.

CALIFoRNIA's BIGGEST NUGGET. How
much we owe to California Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands of
the main stay of America in times of
national pecuniary embarrassment. Her
mining industries have given employ
ment to myriads OF mechanics and labor
ers. She is the land of promise to the
fortune seeker. But the Golden State
has lately sent us new treasure. Her
last nugget is DR.. WALKERS CALIFoR-
MA VINEGAR BITTERs. The health
giving principles contained in this cur
alive are more precious boon than
gold. In all affections of the liver and
stomach, remittent and intermittent
fevers, rheumatism, and pulmonary dis
depurent and invigorant it is unequaled,
purifying the circulation and infusing
new vigor into the debilitated frame. 1t
conquers that most unyielding of all
complaints-dyspepsia, and we know of
no other remedy that can accomplish
this. It's entire freedom from alcoholic
spirit, which retards and neutralizes the
effect of any medicine, and which forms
the basis of many of the pseudo bitters
and tonics, doubly enhances its value to
the sick. The papers OF the United
States vie with one another in doing
honor TO Dr. Walker. We, too, add our
voice, and say, all honor to the man
whose science and skill have enabled
him TO draw from the vegetable king
dom such a balsam for human suffering.

Sickles watched the guilty Keys come
ont of his door, and, upon perceiving
him leisurely walking toward the city,
stepped across the park (then an I'M
cultivated common) and logged the fatal
bullet in his breast. Here, while Secre-
tarv of State, the night Mr.. Lincoln was
assassinated, William II. Seward, while
too i'll to defend himself, was attacked
by the cowardly Payne, and his life only
saved through the intervention of his
brave housekeeper and young man,
George Robinson, the latter made re-
cipient of commemorative gold medal
through an act of Congress. Payne
gained entrance into the house by stat
ing that the physician had sent him
with medicine for Mr.. Seward, and pro-
ceeded directly to the room where the
helpless man lay for a few moments
unattended. Payne rushed upon the
old man, and would have MORALLY
wounded him, only Mr.. Seward rolled
ont at the back of the bed, and his
rescuers arrived in time to foil the as
sassin's further attempts at bloodshed.
A large dark spot in the front front

WARRINGTON, February 22.-The
House thus far has passed lis bills
and about fifty resolutions calling upon
departments for information. The Sem
ate business makes a small showing
compared with the House.
The Senate Com mittee on Appropris-
tions will propose the abolition OF the
postal car system on railroada, and the
repeal OF the clause providing for the
tree delivery ofletters the latter on
the ground that large sums are thus
spent for the benefit OF the residents in
a few cities which the people at large
are taxed to pay for. 1t is estimated
that such changes would well nigh COW

cheney OF the postal department Tor

General Amnesty.
The House Committee on Judiciary
report that as all other property and
rights Of property of persons engaged
in the late rebellion have by general
acts OF amnesty ana laws Of the United
States, been exempted from confscatlon,
there can be no reason for now retaining
on the statute book such acts and parts
of acts as were very properly enacted
to prevent aid and comfort to the enemy
OF the United States, during the
war, by their impediments prevent
ing creditors OF the United States in re-
ce,ving their just dues owing to the
confiecatiou thereof, aud also such acte
to the same effect which were passed to
prevent disloysl persons whose disable
ities had not then been removed, from
making any claim against the govern"
IN eut for debts due and claims
not arising out OF the rebellion, prior
thereto, should also be repealed. The
com mittee, therefore. report a bill re-
pesling the joint resolution OF March

debts due by the Uoited States prior TO
the war unless their legality is proved,
and repeating the oath at present re-
quired OF applicants Tor pensions.
