lndisputable Evidence.

ST. ELMO ILL.,. July 3, 1874.
R.V PIERCE, NJ. D., Buffalo, N. Y. wish
to add my testimony to the wonderful cura-
tive properties of your Alt. Ext, or Golden
Medical Discovery. l have taken great in
tcrcst in this medicine since l first used it.
I was badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver de-
ranged, and an almost perfect prostration of
the nervous system. SO rapid and complete
did the Discovery effect perfect cure that it
seemed more like magic and 4 perfect Won
der to myself, and since that time we have
never been without bottle of the Discov-
cry and Purgative Pellets in the house.
They are a solid, sound family physician in
the house, and ready at all times to fly to
the relief of sickness-withOut charge. We
have never had doctor in the house
and Discovery. have recommended the use
of these medicines in several severe and
complicated cases arising from, as
thought, an impure state OF the blood,
and in no one case have they failed to
more than accomplish all they are claimed
to do. will only mention one as remarka-
BILE Though could give you doZens): Henry
Roster, furniture dealer, of this place, who
was one of the most pitiful objects ever seen,
his face swollen out OF shape, scales and erup-
tons without end, extending to his body,
which was completely covered with blotchcs
and scales. Nothing that he took seemed to
affect it particle / finally induced him
Discovery, with daily use of the Pellets, as
surfing him it would surely cure him. He
commenced its use some six weeks
since, taking two Pellets each night for a
week, then one each night, and the Discovery
as directed. The result is, to-day his skin is
perfectly smooth and the scaly eruptions arc
gone. He has taken some seven or eight bot
ties in all, and considers himself cured. This
had baffled the skill of our best ply icians.
Messrs. Dunsford Il Co., druggists, Of this
place, are selling largely of your medicines
and the demand steadily increases, and they
give perfect satisfaction in every case.

Horrible Cruelty.

Among the unpleasant facts observed
by Sir Samuel Baker in his wanderings
on the shores of the White Nile was one
similar to that recorded by the African
traveller Bruce, who declared to an un-
believing public that the Abyssinians
cut beefsteaks from living cattle. He
found that it is the practice in a certain
district to remove the humps of the ma
tive buffaloes while the animals are alive.
and that the meat thus obtained being
much valued this horrible operation is
repeated several times during the lives
of the miserable creatures. This is dis
gushing enough and the people guilty of
such methods of increasing the meat
supply are no doubt stepped in cruelty
and bloodshed; but traveller from
Unyoro might, had he been in Glasgow
the other day, have turned the tables on
white critics and pointed to an ugly sight
in Christian and civilized England.
Here charge was lately proved against
an engineer of having cruelty tortured a
dog by putting it into pot over the fire,
filled or partly filled with boiling water,
and allowing the animal to remain there
bowling and barking until the hair, skin
and flesh were about to separate from
its bones, when it died. 1t was also
stated by witnesses that they found the
defendant standing looking at the poor
brute struggling in the pot and asking it
to give an account of itself now. We
could wish in the case of its trial that
the venue has been changed to Africa,
where, if the law had taken cognizance
of the oflense at all, its majesty would
have been indicated with hippopota-
mus whip instead of fine of twenty-one
shillings or fourteen days imprisonment.

A Puzzled and Indignant Witness.

A paper in Pittsfield, Mass; relates the
following: "They were trying horse
case in court the other day, and the
lawyer was questioning a witness in ref
erence to the animals habits and dis
position. Have you ever driven hery
was asked. Il have was the reply.
Was there any one with YOU at the
tme:' was the next question. There
was a lady with me- the witness an
swe:ed, and he blushed little. Was
she good driver!' was the next ques-
ton, the lawyer referring to the animal,
but the witness understood that he meant
the lady: She was, he replied. Was
she gentle and kind:' asked the legal
limb, and the reply was in the afirma-
tive, though the witness, still thinking
OF the lady, looked little surprised.
She didn't kick:' was the next inter-
rogation, and a decisive NO was the
answer. She didn't rear up or kick
over the traces, or put her hind feet
through the dash board, or try to run
away, or act ugly, or'-the witness was
boiling over with indignation by this
time, and interrupted the lawyer with,
DO you mean the horse or the lady!
| mean the mare we're talking about
Numbered the counsel. 'Ohr was the
response, thought you meant the gall
And with this explanation the pursuit of
justice was resumed"

PHILOSOPHICAL SINPKINS.

John Simpkins sat on q counter high
In his masters shop in a crowded street
Musiny he sat, with vacant eye,
And loosely dangled his idle feet.
| What to Simpkins were dry goods then,
What the measure of cloth and tape,
As he dreamed his dream of primeval men
And Darwin's views OF an ancient ape
Atoms and worlds and molecules
Rolled by in a maze with bObbin and twist,
Mcgalosaurus, neurosis, and spOOls,
The moral law and the Oeningen schist.
Questions mighty, Of grave import,
Surged and tossed in his aabby brain
Science, religion, squirt. and retort,
Cotton and antediluvian rain.
He pondered of many brachiopOd,
AnthrOpoid capers and simian tricks.
And he doubted whether there was God.
And whether the boss would close at six.
Customers came and customers went,
Yet Simpkins sat in study brown;
Never an ear to one he lent.
Never displayed u hand me down.
Pondering still of science rare,
Streams of stars and the milky way,
FlOCcu in the tail of the Bear,
And whether the Hebrew yam meant day.
At eve. when the day of toll was done.
The boss called John to his side and said:
- Philosophv ii never do here. my son.
You hahn no sort Of a business head
You're bounced. my son. He hied him away,
Yet pondered still of the brachiopod;
Yet he sighed. " 1t is just as the scientists say,
always knew that there wasn't no GOd!'
o men. my brothers, just think what you do
When you turn the head of tailors clerk
And go and give him cosmic clew,
When instead Of that he should mind his work
For the wise should know what it is that wins
The strife in this dreary world Of woe
Cos:nic philosophy or pins,
Evolution or calico.

Better Than 0 Thrashing.

She might say: "There now, you good.
for-nothing, worthless, disobedient little
rascal; it just serves you right, it does;
didn't tell you not to 60 near the water?
What little Ounce you were to jump on
that round log! You might have known,
if you only had half as much sense as q
mouse, that it would have turned with
you, and rolled you off into the water"
But she does better than to talk to
little Fred in that way. She does not
tell him that she will box his ears, or
break every bone in his body, or shut
him in the dark closet. Why? Because
she loves him, and can do better for him
than all that. Poor Fred is punished
clough. The soaking of his best clothes
was sorry business for him; but the
chill and the fever that came on after
the good oysterman fished him out and
took him home are all he needs just
now. His face grows pale, and his teeth
chatter, and he aches all over, and
shakes like an old omnibus. Then comes
the fever, and his skin grows dry and hot,
and he feels as if he could drink q bar
rel of water if they would only let him.
And Fred's mother tells him, ever so
kindly, about how he did wrong in going
to play on the saw-lOgs in the water,
when she had told him not to. She tells
him that she has forgiven him, and that
now she wants him to ask God for for
giveness too.
The boy who has mother that knows
how to take care of him kindly when he
is sick has great deal to be thankful
for. Even if his sickness is brought ON
by his own misdeeds, if she deals kindly
with him, she can do him more good than
by scolding him and telling him every
few minutes how bad he is, and that he
ought to be sent to the House OF Refuge.
There is little something in Fred's
heart that keeps telling him all about it,
and she knows that, and she let's that
busy little conscience of his do the larg-
est part of the work of reproving.-Od
and Youn1.

A Defaulter Found After Nine Years.
Search.

Twenty-seven years ago there died at
Belfast, ireland, a man named Waters,
leaving widow and an infant son aged
three years. To this son he bequeathed
by his last will and testament the sum of
E7SO, which sum was committed to a
Catholic priest, one Father McNally,
then resident in Ireland, who should
manage it for the child until he became
of age, and then pay it over to him, prin-
cipal and interest. The widow and son
soon removed to Dundee, Scotland, where
they continued to reside for the next
eighteen years. At the expiration of this
time the son repaired to Dublin, Ireland,
for settlement with the executor, whom
he found disposing of his household
effects and other property at auction. He
asked for a rendering of his account,
which was promised the next day at Bel
fast, at the office of McNally's attorney.
lhlther the young man went-Only to
find the unfaithful steward had fed to
America, carrying with him all the funds
belonging to his ward. Almost immedi-
ately young Waters followed him, and
for nine years he has been searching the
United States to find trace of the guilty
man. At length his labors are crowned
with success. Having until recently con-
fined his search to the Western States,
where he was obliged to work his way
from town to town, inquiring constantly
among the clergy for the man he
sought, often almost despairiug and
weary in his efforts, he at last came
East, and through information given by
the priesthood became satisfied that at
Fort Covlngton, in this county, was To-
Gated the executor who for SO many
years had withheld from him that which
was justly his. And Saturday, Nov. z,
he arrived at the fort, penniless, but near
the end for which he had so long end
earnestly labored. His first step was to
consult = lawyer of the place, telling his
story without reserve, and seeking ad.
vice as to the best method of procedure.
The next day attorney and client at
tended church together, and Waters rec
ognized in the officiating priest the err
ing man. Monday he called upon him,
made himself known, and demanded res.
titution. The priest at first professed
Joy on meeting him, and asserted that he
had written many letters seeking to as

Artificial Butter.

The invention of artificial butter is
ascribed to an adept in France named
Mouriez. The process by which he was
Having placed several mich cows on a
strict diet, their weight was quickly re-
duced, together with the quantity Of
milk they gave. The milk, however,
always contained butter. Mouriez be-
lieved this to be produced from the fat
of the animal, which, carried into the
circulation, was deprived of its stearine
by respiratory combustion, and furnished
its oleo-margarine to the udder, where,
under the influence OF the mammary
pepsin, it was changed into butter. Act
ing upon this hint Mouriez succeeded in
Transforming beef-suet into fat fusible
at nearly the same temperature as but
ter, and having an agreeable flavor. The
method, given in detail, which has
since been pursued in the .artifi-
cial production of the article is
this: The fat of newly-slaughtered
beef, of the best quality, is ground be-
tween two cylinders, whence it falls into
a deep vat, heated by steam and contain
ing, for every 1000 kilogrammes of fat,
800 kilogrammes of water and one kilo-
gramme of potassic carbonate, besides
two sleeps or pigs stomachs in small
pieces. The temperature is then raised
to 45 deg. Cent. and the mass carefully
stirred. At the end of two hours the fat
all rises to The surface. 1t is then let off
into another vat, heated on a water-bath
to 30 or 40 deg. Cent, and 2 per cent. of
sea-salt added to facilitate the depura-
ton. In the course of two hours it be-
comes clear, and presents fine yellow
color and the odor of freshly-churned
butter. Having been carefully cooled, it
is cut into cakes, packed in linen and
placed under hydraulic press, and then
separated into two nearly equal parts,
viz, stearine land liquor oleo-margarine.
The stearine is used for making candles.

possession of any funds to satisfy in

the end, however, he assigned to Waters
