AOLCils ~'
The weather continues clear and in tempera-
ture more like Nav than December.
The appearance of the steamboat landing is
enough to make any one having the interest
of our city at heart to rejoice within himself.
From one to the other on both landings, the
freight is piled up in such quantities as to
render q walk over the woodwork almos i'm
possible, this blockade is caused partially BY
the large number OF arrivals since last Sunday
and partially from the neglect Of the newly
appointed wharf masters to enforce the Il
hours law.
Zone Of our city contemporaries, after CIV
ing a lengthy description OF a new, strange
steamer at our wharf, winds up rather strange
" by extending to the boat and officers, on
behalf Of our river friends, a hearty welcome
to our city, and hopes to see them ottener at
our wharf. Now, that is all well enough III
some respects, but we rather think that our
river friends here have about as much tonnage
of their own as there is business for them to
do, and the more strange boats that enter oul
Southern trades the less business will there be
for our own packets especially as the remu-
neration at present is far from being profitable
and will not bear division"
The above is from the New Orleans Times
of yesterday. All that we have to say IN re
gard to this matter is this: we were pleased
| with the appearance ofthe boat and found he1
officers to be clever and attentive gentlemen,
and they, being strangers to our city, we took
the liberty Of pledsing them hearty welcome
in behalf of our Southern steam oatmen, thar
whom no more generous, whole-souled gen.
tlemen ever breathed the free air OF heaven
In wishing to see the Idlewild often at her
wharf, we repeat the remark and would wish
that sufficient business would offer to have a
thousand boats like her at the landing every
| season.

The Skeptical Convinced.

Every advance in medicine, every new remedy has encountered an oppo- sition, which is the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only were believed when they had proved their discoveries against opposition. But men are ob- serving, and benefits always make be- lievers. No incredulity can stand the silent argument of good results. When Dr. Walker proclaimed that he had produced from the medicinal herbs of California an elixir that would regen- crate the sinking system and cure dis eases not organic, the incredulous shook their heads. Yet his VINEGAR B1rTERs is now the standard restorative of the Western world. The truth could not be resisted. Under the operation of the new remedy, dyspeptics regained thelr health, appetite and strength, the bilious and constipated were relieved of every distressing symptom the con- sumptive and rheumatic rapidly recov- cred intermittent and remittent levers were broken up the taint of scrofula was eradicated Who could gainsay facts like these? Not even the faculty. Skepticism was routed. All doubts as place in the first rank of modern medi. cines were silenced, and this wonderful preparation is to-day the most popular tonic, alternative, and blood depurent ever advertised in America. In com mon with other journalists, we are free to add our testimony to this remedy. It is domestic medicine, and no house. hold should be without it.-e0ns.

General Custer as a Teacher,

A Dakota correspondent writes the following This spring General Gus ter's golden curls have been sacrifcez {; he looks younger, more soldierly, al- though less poetical, and the coming reconnaissance will prove if he is shorn of his strength. At present General Custer is thirty four years old-a slen- der, fair-haired, blue-eyed man. His wife, a charming lady, who has shared his marches and victories since early in the war, is as gentle and cultivated, and yet as soldierly, as woman can be, and her home is one green spot, if there be no others in the frontier life of the off, cers of the Seventh. A few evenings since the writer, entering General Gus ter's library, saw new phase of this mans character. He sat on 8 low stool by his desk with-a spelling book in his hand: before him were two little girls, one white and the other colored, the children of his servants, whom he was afording the necessities denied by the lack of schools. Apologizing for my in- terruption, l was withdrawing, when he cried out in his hearty way, "Come in, come in and see my school" I entered the room, and Tn pleasant, familiar way he went on with his teaching, hav- ing his scholars spell the words alter nately, tell their meaning, and con- struct sentences. I have found that this has been his custom for several years, ard all these little people of his house. hold know of written words is what h @ has taught them.

Brought It Ont.

It is novelty to see the arrival of 8 band of burglars in any neighborhood regarded rather in the light of a public benefit, but such case is of recent oc- currenee. Several burglarious opera .tions. took place in different parts of Frederick county, Virginia, causing great alarm throughout that region. This, according to the Winchester Times, had the effect of bringing to the banks large deposits, which often came from unexpected quarters. Peo- pie who had not been suspected of hav- ing cash. enough to pay their taxes made their appearance in Winchester with sums for deposit ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, and the money market of that place sud
 denly became remarkably easy-au on account of the burglars in. Frederick county having frightened the country men, who had been hoarding their cur
 rency since the panic. This money now goes into general circulation.

The Best Sewing Machine.

The best sewing machine for all purposes made is, beyond question, the Remington. It will do 8 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 nc reason why one, with ordinary care, should not last a lifetime. ,-Ts
 This point we desire to call especial attention to. The Remington is made by the Rem ington Arms Co.,, of Ilion, N Y., whose arms are known the world over.
 They have the entire confidence of the governments of the world, for the reason that they never turned out 8 poor weapon, nor indeed. any but the very best. Quality is what they pride themselves upon, for it was theil capital at the beginning. The same rigid honesty that they held to in the manufacture of arms, they have carried into their sewing machine. They are made of the best material attainable and no labor or expense is spared tc finish them in such way as to make them dc great deal more than is claimed for them The name Remington is sufficient guarantee to any one who knows the Company.
 The Company desire Agents in every county in the United States. We can say that the 1 machine, because of it's excellence, is good one to handle. and of the Company that theil employees are certain of fair and liberal treat ment. Write to Remington Arms Company, Iion, N. Y.-Con.

 The CrOn RenNrtS.

The report of the Department of Agriculture of the United States shows that the average condition of winter wheat for the whole country is 104. The most favorable conditions of growth are found in several of the States in which other crops suffered most severely. In the Middle States the crop was gener- ally above average, and in the States north of the Ohio nearly or quite aver age. Ohio, where drought has most prevailed, shows the highest average, 105. West of the Mississippi the crop was generally very good and above average, except where late sowings were caught by chinch bugs, which, with other causes, reduced the average Of Kansas to 90. This plague was also felt in few localities in Virginia and North Carolina, but the crop in the Southern wheat States generally show ed considerable margin above aver age, though Texas reached only 84. In New England the small acreage of win. ter wheat was somewhat injured by winter killing.
 Spring wheat shows an average of 96. In New England it was, on the whole, considerably above average, though OnShWdIO HI S0F0r6I COuut1OS. LII bu0 few counties growing the crop in the Middle States it is below average. In the Northwestern States it especially suffered from the ravages of the chinch bugs and other insects. In Ohio, Me- braska and on the Pacific Coast the crop was more than the average.
 The wool clip was larger than last year: In Nebraska, 151 Oregon, PA ; California. 120; Connecticut, 117 !; Minnesota, no Texas, 104 Massa- chusetts, Louisiana and Indiana, 103 i; Arkansas and Missouri, 1O2 South Carolina, 1O1. It was equal to last year in New Jersey, Michigan and Iowa. The greatest decrease, Il per cent, was in Vermont. Among the larger wool-producing States, Ohio, de- creases her clips 3 per cent Illinois, 4 per cent; New York and Pennsylvania, ? per cent. ]; Wisconsin, 8 per cent. 1; Kentucky, per cent. There is very marked increase of wool production in the States west of the Mississippi and and on the Pacific Coast.

A CLoUD-BURsT IN NEVADA.
The Flood that Swept Through tn
 Streets of Eureka.

The Flood that Swept Through the Streets of Eureka.
 A letter from Eureka, Nevada, gives the following details of the disaster there: Aterrible calamity has befallen this place. A waterspout burst in the mountains, carrying death and destruc- tion in it's wake. It had been raining since early morning with unprecedented violence, and when at midday, cloud burst upon the lofty range of noun the town is situated, there came g de- vastating flood laundering down the canon, sweeping everything before it. When the waterspout first burst, send ing it's water through the town in large streams, without, however, doing any very considerable damage, the excite ment of the people soon calmed down somewhat, though their fears were not wholly allayed. The water had entered the eastern and lowest part of the town with astounding rapidity, entirely
 flooding it. No sooner had the inhabi- tants supposed that the flood had at tained it's greatest height, and that it would soon subside, than 8 perfect ocean came roaring down the canon from two directions, hurling destruction right and left, and even tearing up the earth along it's path, So sudden and unexpected was this last avalanche of water hurled upon the devoted people that they were taken wholly unawares and unprepared to resist it's deadly fury. Those who escaped the deluge, owing to their being on the more elevated DOT tion of the town, heroically went to the assistance of the sufferers; but as the seething and foaming waters swept furiously through the town, any attempt at rescue was attended with the greatest peril. '-
 A most heartrending scene was then presented. Houses were quickly swept from their foundations, while the ter or-stricken inmates, whose agonizing cries were heard above the rush of waters, clung to the crashing timbers with the despair of death. Lines of brave and willing men were formed who ventured even their lives to rescue the victims. Their efforts were not alto gether fruitless, but number who were saved by this means were afterward forced down by the torrent while courageously battling with the element to save others. Occasionally the excited spectators were mortified with the sight of an upturned and ghostly face hurled passed them amid the floating debris. Many an arm was stretched forth for assistance, while those who would save were powerless to act. MT. and Mrs. Bray, who were but recently married, were seen to float by, clasped in each others arms, and battling with the rush. ing waters with the despair of drowning persons. They finally separated and MT. Bray escaped, but he is nearly dis tracted at the loss of his wife. A re- porter for the Cmpel, Rodger Robinett, was swept down with the printing office and lost. His parents reside in San Francisco. Owing to the almost super human efforts of the rescuing parties the women and children were, with few exceptions, saved. While the loss of life is supposed to be about twenty per sons, it may also be safely said that at least thirty houses have been carried away, many of them wholly destroyed.

A Mammoth DispeDsary.

Among the notable physicians of this country, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., stands deservedly high He has obtained pro fessional eminence through strictly legitimate means and fully deserves the enviable reputa- ton which he enjoys. A thorough and careful preparation for his calling and extensive read ing, during long and unusually large practice, have made him extra ordinarily successful in his private practice, and gained the commendation even of his professional brethren. By devoting his attention mainly to certain specialties he has been rewarded in a very great degree, and in these lines is recognized as leader. Not few of his preparations compounded for these special cases have been adopted and are used in their private practice by physicians through out the country. and his pamphlets and larger works upon these subjects have been welcomed as valuable additions to medical literature, and placed among the regular textbooks of many medical schools. Acknowledgment of the service which he has performed for medical science has been made by presentations of degrees from two of the first medical institu- tions of the land, and by the translation of several of his works into German, Spanish, and other foreign languages. The increasing demand for his specifies some time since neces- sitated the opening of & regular dispensary for their preparation and from 9 small beginning the business of this establishment has now grown to mammoth proportions. Thus during the three months ending March 31, 1874, the sum expended for postage alone, not to speak of that paid on newspapers, amounted to $2, 0S070. Over hundred persons are employed in the various departments, and corps of able and skilled physicians are retained as an advisory board iu difficult cases. Elsewhere in to-days Republican 8 whole page is devoted to 8 communication from Dr. Pierce, setting forth something of the history and details of this vast establishment, which will be found not uninteresting reading.

From Beecher to Mrs. Tilton.

J The following letter was published in
 Brooklyn, and it's authenticity has not been questioned by those who have read the original. It was obtained
 from Mrs. Hilton without her knowing
 what use was to be made of it, but it
 has no date taa%
 . My DEAR MRS. T1ToN: I hoped
 that you would be shielded from the
 knowledge of the great wrong that has
 been done to you, and through you to
 universal womanhood. I can hardly
 Dear to speak of it, or allude to a mat
 ter than which nothing can be imag-
 ined more painful to pure and woman
 iy nature. pray daily for you "that
 your faith fail not" You, yourself,
 know the way and the power of prayer.
 God has been your refuge in many
 sorrows before. He will now hide you
 in His pavilion until the storm is over
 past. The rain that beats down the
 flower to the earth, will pass at length,
 and the stem, bent, but not broken,
 will rise again and blossom as before. a Every pure woman onsearth will feel
 that this wapton and unprovoked as- sault is aimed at you, but reaches to universal wemanhood. sse1 &Esl col Meanwhile your dear children will !, love you with double tenderness, and Theodore, against whom these shafts ,e are hurled, will hide you in his heart
 of hearts. 'H .t3H}
 I am, glad that this revelation from
 the pit has given him sight of the danger that was before hidden by spe- 7, cious appearances and promises of use
 fitness. May God keep him in courage in the arduous struggle which he wages
 against diversity, and bring him out, ! though much tried, like gold seven times fired. .zaii ..ts T. have not spoken of myself. No T word could express the sharpness and depth of any sorrow in your behalf, my dear and honored friend. God walks , in the fire by the side of those He loves, , and in heaven neither you, nor Theo- ,rdore njori T. shall regret the discipline,
 how hard soever it may seem now.
 a2 May He restrain and turn those poor ,,eres dres who have, been given over to a do all this sorrowful harm to those who 2 have deserved no such treatment at { their hands
