THE heat of Summer. as we'll as the

sudden changes OF temperature incident to

etables and fruits and other unwholesome
articles OF food. result every season in pro-
ducng much suffering from Diarrhea Dysen-
tary, Cholera Morbus. Collie and other de-
rangements Of the stomach and bowels. A
remedy that will promptly relieve these suffer-
ings and restore tone and normal action to the
relaxed and debilitated alimentary canal, is
surely a boon to the afflicted. Dr. II. V.
Pierce, whose Family Medicines have acquired
a worldwide reputation, by long study and
careful chemical experiments has succeeded
in extracting, by cold process, from Smart
Weed, or Water Pepper, that modest little
plant seen in wet grounds by the roadside and
in neglected grounds and pasture fields, a
remedial principle which, when skilfully COM
bined with the extract OF Jamaica Ginger and
other pleasant modifying agents, in what he
calls his Compound Extract Of Smart-Weed
forms a most reliable specific for all such de-
rangements and sufferings. 1t is pleasant
and safe to take, yet powerful to cnre. Its
wonderful efficacy is further confirmation Of
the Doctors idea that God has caused to grow,
in each climate and region, those medicinal
plants best calculated for the cure OF the dis
eases that prevail in the section Of country
where those plants are found-that 1.-The
leaves were for the healing OF the nations,

investigate and understand those we have at

is sold by druggists generally.

Emerson on the Egyptians.

The philosopher of Concord, referring
to his recent visit to the East, speaks of
Egypt:
"There is something very attractive
in that silent land-Cheops, with it's
vast antiquity, its mysterious wisdom in
art, in science, in those inventions
which constitute civilization. l had
read what the Hebrew prophet said Of
the Egyptians, that their strength was
to sit still. They do not travel, they
have no ships, they do not sail. When
people do not come to us, we must go
to them. And I, therefore, went, when
/ was turned somewhat abruptly out of
my house, some years ago, urged by my
friends to try change of air and eli
mate and / did not rest till saw Alex
andria, and presently the city of Tyre /;
at Tyre, the Pyramids, then Ihebes,
Luxor, Dardanelles. Egypt is a coun-
try that is easily seen. 1t is practically
nothing but strip of land, green belt
on either side of the River Nile, but is
more than five hundred miles. The
country has great attractions for the
farmer, as they have three or four crops
instead of one. And if it has no rain,
it needs none, for the gracious river
supplies its wants. The people are a
perpetual study for the grace of their
forms and motions. No people walk so
well, none are so upright, so we'll devel-
oped, so strong. II seems as if our
artists should go to them for perfect
models. The country is as safe as any
city or town of ours, and the general
tone of the people is excellent.

A Grecian Romance.

The story of Kosta Camara, the IA
nous Thessalian brigand, who has just
surrendered, would make capital novel
or play. 1t seems that Kosta Camara
enioyed a certain reputation for bravery,
and the villagers say that he was honest
in his transactions, never injured a
woman or child, and delivered many
poor people from the hands of his more
savage companions. He was thorough
Palikari, in fact. His career has been
sad and romantic. He was born in the
village of Agrapha, called Tanitron, sit
uated near the frontier. When he was
a child, his mother murdered her hus-
band in his sleep, III order to marry an
other man whom she loved. The crime
came TO the knowledge of King Otho's
Government, and the murderess was
condemned to Imprisonment for life.
When the revolution broke out in
Greece, the prison-gates were thrown
open, and the woman regained her lib
erty; but she had grown old, and no
one would marry her. Mourning her
lost youth, and desperate at the recol-
lection of the fifteen years she had spent
in prison, she determined to have her
revenge; and strange, almost incredible,
as it may appear, she resolved to obtain
it by rendering her own son wretched.
She found him in village where he
had married a young girl called Marie.
All her motherly feelings had fled, and
she regarded Camara only as the son of
him whom, though dead, she still hated,
and on whose account she had suffered
ellmerited punishment. She told her
son that the spirit of his father spoke to
him through her, and poisoned his mind
against the poor girl, and excited his
jealousy by saying that she was in the
habit of receiving young men late at
night. One night, probably through
the intrigues of the old woman, Camara
returned to his cottage and found there
young man. Maddened by jealousy
and by drink, he stabbed the young
man to the heart and shot his wife.
Casting last look at the scene of his
misfortunes and crime, Camara seized
his gun and fled to the mountains. and
joined gang of brigands, among whom
he earned distinction, though haunted
by the recollection of the past. The
band of this chief is now completely
dispersed.

New Mode of Collecting Revenue.

The Captain. General of Cuba has
issued decree to regulate, if not to
settle, financial questions on that island
1t is rather elaborate state paper, re-
citing, by way of preamble, the condi-
ton of the public treasury and the
causes that have led to its depletion.
The first paragraph OF the decree estab-
fishes, during the period of two years,
an annual tax Of two and half per
cent. upon the capital of real estate and
other property, on industry, on COM
merce, on trades and sciences. This
tax of two and half per cent. annual
ly for two years is supposed to repre-
sent the twentieth part of the public
wealth and perhaps a little more, by
capitalizing the profits of trades and
sciences. BY the article which fixes
the collection to be made triennially, in
advance, counting from 1st of July, it
is calculated that the eighth part of the
tax will be collected before the 30th of
September, as well as by that time the
first semi-annual payment of the tax of
ten per cent. upon incomes, profits,
salaries and emoluments, which makes
ar estimated entry by that time into
the treasury of $l5,000,000, of which
10000, 900, at least, must be devoted
TO the canceling of bank bills or fund
ing the debt. Continuing this calcula-
ton to the end of 1876, it is estimated
that the entire debt or issue of $50, 600,
600 an bank notes, on account of the
treasury, will be Cancelled or funded,
and S45, 600, 600 will have been destined
for the payment of other claims.

The SKEPTICAL CONVINCED. Every
advance in medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which
is the test of truth. Galen and Jenner
only were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition.
But men are observing, and benefits al
ways make believers. No incredulity
can stand the silent argument of good
results. When DR.. Walker proclaimed
that he had produced from the medi-
cinal herbs of California an Elixir that
would regenerate the sinking system and
cure diseases not organic, the incredu-
lous shook their heads. Yet his VINE
GAR BITTERs is now the Standard Re-
storative of the Western World. The
truth could not be resisted. Under the
operation of the new remedy, Dyspep-
tics regained their health, appetite and
strenth the Bilious and Constipated
were relieved of every distressing symp-
tom the Consumptive and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered Intermittent and
Remittent Fevers were broken up the
faint of Scrofula was eradicated Who
could gainsay facts like these? Not
even the Faculty. Skepticism was
routed. All doubts as to the claims of
the Bitters to the first place in the first
rank of modern medicines were silenced,
and this wonderful preparation is to-
day the most popular Tonic, Alternative
and Blood Depurent ever advertised in
America. In common with other Jour-
nalists, we are free to add our testimony
to this remedy. 1t is domestic medi-
cine, and no household should be with
out it. 3

The VeIOcipede.

The velocipede, which suddenly burst
out with violence all over our country a
few years ago. and then as suddenly
totally subsidized, has been cultivated in
Paris, recently, with prospect that it
will be rendered permanently and prac-
tically useful. Messengers employed in
conveying dispatches from the Bourse
to the Central Telegraph Bureau have
mounted the bicycle and received the
sobriquet of veloce-men. A company
is forming to place large number of
velocipedes on the streets for the use
of messengers travelling to all parts of
the city. The Partisan journals are
also employing the vehicle in obtaining
quick reports. During the trial of Mar
shall Bazaine, the Monttetu daily kept a
large number of velocipedes running
between Paris and Versailles. The dis
lance, about twelve miles, was accom-
plished in forty-fve minutes-less time
than the ordinary trains consume. The
carrier pigeons, which the papers also
used, make the distance, on clear days,
in thirteen minutes.

A FAIR young lady in Waterbury,
Conn, went to drug store and told the
man to fix up one dose of castor oil, and
to mix it with something to take the
taste away. The man told her to wait.
In few minutes he asked her if she
would like a glass of soda. She &C.
cepted the invitation and drank the
beverage. Presently she asked the
roller of pills why he didn't give hei
the oil. The man smiled triumphantly
and said Madame, you have taken

soda % She turned pale, sank into a
