CAIFoRNIA's BIGGEsT N11GGET.

CALIFORNIA'S BIGGEST NUGGET.
much we owe to California ! Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands
of our fellow citizens, and have proved
the main stay of America in times Of
national pecuniary embarrassment.
Her mining Industries have given en-
ployment to myriads of mechanics and
laborers. She is the land of promise
to the fortune hunter. But the Golden
state has lately sent us new treasure.
Her last nugget is DIR. WALKERS CALI
FoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERs. The health
giving principles contained in this
curative are q more precious boon than
gold. In all affections of the liver and
stomach, remittent and intermittent
fevers, rheumatism, and pulmonary
diseases, it may be relied upon. AS a
blood depurent and invigorant it is I'M
equaled, purifying the circulation and
lnfusing new vigor into the debilitated
frame. It conquers that most unyield-
ing 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 medi-
cine, 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 kingdom such a
balsam for human suffering.

Fires at Midnight,

Mr.. Henry Spillman, Chief Engineer
of the Baltimore Fire Department., has
prepared some statistics showing the
number of fires occurring at differ
ent hours of the day and night, from
j uly, 1869 to October, 1878. Out of
the 1909 fires reported, S62 occurred
during the day time fron 6 a. m. to
p. m. }, and ], 237 at night The great
est number occurred during the hours
between midnight and dawn, and the
statistics for each hour show a curious
ascending and descending grade. There
were 43 fires at II q. N. and 43 at II
p. III. then the number for each hour
increased until it reached 81 at p. m.
There was decrease in the hourly num-
Der from p. n. until the citizens be-
gan to retire to bed, at 10 or II o'clock.
At midnight there were one hundred and
thirty-eight fires, and this number was
almost but notquite equaled each hour
until a. M, when there were one hun
dred and ten fires. Citizens may be
presumed then to have been awakened
and to have commenced moving about,
and from that time until noon the num-.
Der OF fires decreased hourly until II
a. m. The aggregate statistics agree
in these indications with the statistics
for the, year 1873. Watchfulness and
care are thus shown to be important in
fuences in the prevention of fires, and
as during the night most people must
undo the watchfulness they exert during
the day, fremen and police officers
should, as far as possible, take their
place in the protection of properly.
