Something About C1Oud-bursts.


Within the last few years the break
ing of water-spouts-if that is a proper
name for the phenomenon-like that
which desolated a town in Nevada last
week, has been frequently noticed. Nor
is it confined to mountainous districts.
A few years ago water spout, or the
bursting of a cloud, caused very seri-
Gus damage near the bridge of the Chi
cago and Northwestern railway across
the Rock river, three miles west of
Dixon; and a similar disaster also befeu
the same road afeW miles east of Dixon.
There is an abundance of evidence in
most parts of the country that they have
occurred in all of its past history. Es-
pecially is this true along the line of
the Pacific railway. Broad beds of
streams perfectly dry are common In
the Black Hills and Rocky Mountain
districts, which show plainly the action
of terrible torrents not many years pre-
vioUs. Experienced railWay-men have
given it as their opinion that sufficient
| allowance is not made in the cOnstruc-
| ton of our roads to let off the water IN
such cases. A similar disaster occurred
/ in southern Minnesota recently, where
very considerable damage was done, and
a few years since, the president of the
! Michigan Southern railway and many
! passengers came near losing their lives,
not far from Mishawaka, from the same
cause. Several persons in the car next
! to them were drowned.
Some years earlier, a portion of the
! city of Denver, California, was sub
merged in the night time by a food
coming down the valley of Cherry
creek, of which the inhabitants had had
no previous warning. A cloud had
burst on the side of the mountain so
far distant that no sign of its existence
could be discerned, and spilled its con-
tents into the upper valley of Cherry
creek. This creek had been dry fo1
many years-so dry that its bed had
been surveyed and laid off in town lots
and built upon, constituting, indeed,
one of the most thick-settled parts OF
! Denver. The food struck the town
shortly after midnight, and in an in
slant of time swept off every Yestige
os human habitation and handicraft II
the old bed of the creek and adjacent
thereto, destroying many lives and
large amount of property, which was
hurled into the South Platte, which lat
ter stream was raised several feet in 6
few minutes.
Probably nothing can be done tC
ward off the calamitles that often re
suit from cloud-bursts or water
spouts, but they are worthy of careful
study. Some rules may possibly bt
drawn from the appearances of tn,
clouds, by which people whose homes
may be located in the valley liable t.
inundation may be warned in time tC
reach place of safety. The phenome
non of a cloud-burs consists of thu
sudden, perhaps instantaneous, con
densation of vast quantity of warn
moisture in the atmosphere by coming
in contact with the cold side of mount
ain, or with a current of cold air. It i
not improbable that the awful disaste
at Pittsburg on Saturday was identica
in its nature with the cIoud-bursts O
Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada.-Cbi

Liberality of sraelites---Their Ma.
tiOnaI Platform of Belief.

At the session of the Union of He
brew Congregations, held at Cleveland
July IA, 10 and Is, the following reso-
IutiOns were adopted
1. Because we believe with mistaken
faith and firmness in one indivisible
and eternal God we also believe In the
common fatherhOOd of God and the
common brotherhood of men.
2. We glory in the sublime d0otrin OF
religion, that the righteous of all ma
tions, without distinction of creed, will
enjoy eternal life and everlasting happi-
ness.
3. The divine command, the sublime
passage of the Bible, ''Thou shalt love
thy feilow-man as myself" extends to
the entire human family, without dis
tinctiOu of either race or creed.
1. Civil and religious liberty and the
separation of church and state, are the
inalienable rights of men, and we con-
slider them to be the brightest gem in
the constitution of the United States.
3. We love and reverence this country
as our home and the fatherl8nd for us
and our children, aud therefore con-
slider it our paramount duty to sustain
and support the government, and to
favor by all means the system of free,
unsectarian education, leaving religious
institutions to the care of the different
denominations.
6. We expect the universal elevation
and determination of the human family
to be achieved by the hatural means of
science, morality, freedom, justice and
truth.

JUST TAKEN HIS BTTTERS.-We heard
a seedy- looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to brother
soaker that he had Just had his bit
tiers, but he did not mind taking an
other nip" His remark suggested
train of reflection. How was it, we
asked ourselves, that the word g bit
tiers" had grown to be a synonym for
gin, whisky, rum, and other alcoholic
stimuIants, to which it was applied in
discriminatory. Bitters, we reasoned,
suggested the idea of healthful tonic,
not of poisonous stimulant something
invigorating to the system, not an alco-
hOlic irritant, full OF fusel oil, produc-
ing present intOxication and ultimate
Insanity, idiocy, or premature death.
Moreover, our idea of bitters was totally
irreconeilable with Sc gin cocktails, :"
''rum punches, and F'brandy smashes, -
which, we are informed, are sweetened
with sugar, and rendered doubly iDjur-
ious with essences colored by means of
mineral poison. This was bitter-sweet
with a vengeance. We mentioned this
problem to a friend. He solved 1t by
exclaiming 3" Why, don't you know
/ that most of these bitters advertised as
remedies are only drains in disguise.
Topers know it, if you do not. must
make one exception, however" he ad-
ded, " and that's DR.. Walkers Califor-
/ mia Vinegar Bitters there isn't par
ticle of alcohol or fermented liquor in
it, and it is the best vegetable tonic and

A Mammoth Dispensary.
Fron tbe s.. Lo,,is Rep,lblicnn.

@ Among the notable physicians of this coun-
try, DR.. r. Y. Pierce, Of Buffalo, n. Y, stands
deservedly high. He has obtained professional
eminence through strictly legitimate means,
and fully deserves the enviable reputation
which he enjoys. A thorough and careful
preparation for his calling al extensive read
ing, during q long and unusually large practice,
have made him extraordinarily successful IN
his private practice, and gained the common
dation even of his professional brethren By
devoting his attention mainly to certain spe-
cialties he has been rewarded in a very great
degree, and in these lines is recognized as q
leader. Not a few Of his preparations com
pounded for these special cases have been
adopted and are used in their private practice
by physicians throughout the country, and his
pamphlets and larger works upon these sub
jects have been welcomed as valuable addI-
tions to medical literature, and placed among
the regular text books of many medical
schools. Acknowledgment of the services
which he has performed for medical science
has been mads by presentations Of degrees
from two of the first medical institutions OF
the land. and by the translation of several Of
his works into German, Spanish AID other
foreign languages. The increasing demand
for his specifics sometime since necessltated
the opening of a regular dispensaTy for their
preparation, and from small beginning the
bu 5iness of this establishment has now grown
to mammoth proportions. Thus during the
three months ending March 81, 1874, the sum
expended for postage alone, not to speak

plOyed in the various departments, and a
corps of able and skilled physicians are re-
tanned as an advisory board in difficult cases.

setting forth something of the history and de-
tails of this vast establishment which viii be

The PedagOgues WOOing.

Mr.. Mills, Southside school superin-

himself, winding up every question with
eff so, why?" or, III not, why not ?"
One of the teachers tells this story
about him She said she boarded once
at the same place where his ''girl y
boarded. One night he came, rang the
bell, and asked the servant, g Is Miss
- in, and if so. why? is she en-
gaged, and how ?" Then ne went IN, and
the little tattletale, listening at the key
hole, heard him say, MY darling, do
YOU love me d? If not, why not ? After
a while Give a synopsis of your en-
ployment during the week. Analyze
thoroughly and completely the state of
your sentiments toward me" When he
left after kissing her, he remarked,

The Best Sewing Machine,

The best sewing machine for ali purposes
made is, beyond question, the Remington. 1t
will do a greater variety of work, with less
noise and physical exertion, than any in the
market It is so simple that child can man
age it, and so durable that we can see no
reason why one, with ordinary care, should not
last a lifetime.
This point we desire to call especial atten-
ton to. The Remington is made by the Rem
ington Arms Co., of lion, n. Y, whose arms
are known the world over
They have the entire confidence of the gov
ernments of the world, for the reason that
they never turned out poor weapon, nor, in
deed, any but the very best. Quality is what
they pride themselves upon, for it was their
capital at the beginning. The same rigid hon
esty that they held to in the manufacture of
arms, they have carried into their sewing ma
chine. They are made of the best material
attainable. and no labor or expense is spared
to finish them in such way as to make them
do a great deal more than is claimed for them.
The name - Remington" is a sufficient guaran-
tee to any one who knows the company.
The company desire agents in every county
in the United States. We can say that the
machine, because of its excellence, is a good
one to handle and of the company that their
employees are certain of fair and liberal TIRE at
ment. Write to Remington Arms Company,
lion, New York.

g Sacred Song.

a common sense listener thus de
scribes the performance of some of our
popular church music, and the effect
produced upon his mind 1.-THE SOL
emn worship of God was introduced by
q solo, Consider the Lilies, performed
by the leading singer of the choir, and
gracefully accompanied by the organ.
So far as the music was concerned, it
was beautifully and faultlessIy rem
dered. The effect upon my own mind,
however, was anything but devotional.
The singer commenced Consider the
lilies of the field etc., and when she
came to the application, it ran thus {:
And yet 1 say unto yOU-that even
Solomon in all his glOry-was not ar
rayed-was not arrayed like one of
