Nil Desnerandilm,

A real heating man or woman, is a
rarity; and what wonder? when we
realize that it is the custom to overload
the stomach, and then produce chronic
disease by the use of spirituous liquors,
" Tonics," " Appetizers," Restora-
tives," etc. Having first produced
disease by indiscretion, the victim
wonders why "nothing does him good"
Just so ; and the reason is that they
all, or nearly all, find basis in alcohol
or POISON. To all thus discouraged,
we can conscientiously say, "make one
more trial" Discard spirituous medi
cines, and give NATURE chance, aiding
her in the struggle by using one of her
own pure and unadulterated herb reme-
dies, in the shape of VINEGAR BITTERs.
The discoverer, DIR. J. WALKER, Of
California, is no pretender, but an
honorable practicing physician, and
his discovery is the result of years of
labor and study. The wonderful cures
effected by them of Dyspepsia, Fevers,
Rheumatism, and many other terrible
diseases, are almost incredible. Com.

Some time ago it was mentioned that
it was the intention of the United States
Navy Departmental to have the old frigate
Constitution rebuilt. On the day desig-
mated for placing her on the stocks, a
large crowd of persons assembled at
the Philadelphia Navy Yard, and, with
all the officers attached to the station,
congregated on the South wharf, where
the operc tians could be witnessed. The
vessel was first raised in the huge float
ing dry dock, and towed around to the
South wharf. Here, by means of the
greatest force, she was pulled from the
dock up on the stocks.
To accomplish this engineering feat,
three hundred men were employed,
huge cables from half-dozen capstans,
and complication of enormous pulleys,
leading out to the vessel. When the
capstans were manned, and the cables
felt the great tension upon them, the
vessel moved gradually from the dock
up the well-greased ways. The Consti-
tuition was decorated with the national
bunting, and the crowd cheered Justify
as she was drawn upon the wharf.
1t is the intention to have the vener-
able vessel entirely rebuilt for service
as a school ship. Her model will not
be changed, however, and no sound
timber will be removed. She will be
reftted with all the modern sailing ap-
pliances, and it is expected that, when
completed, she will make very fine as
well as very serviceable addition to
the fleet. -PhiIadelphia Inquirer.

An OutgrOWth of Other Disease.

Catarrh sometimes exists alone, but it is more
frequently symptom of other diseased con-
ditions. The following letter explains it:
CoLLINGwooD, Onondaga, Co., NY, Jan. 25, 1872.
DR.. Il. V. PIERCE, Buffalo. n Y:
Dear Sir ALLOW me to give you brief
history of the effect of your medicine called
Golden Medical Discovery" in my case. l

rally of firm constitution. Within the last few
years. from over-eXercise, have been afflicted

degree that, TO me- it seemed that my voice

induced by torpid state of the liver. | had

Magnificent Generosity.

A singular compliment has been paid
to policeman by the Town Council of
Exeter, England. A short time ago
Archbishop Freeman and his daughter
were riding in their carriage, when the
horse took fright and bolted. Police
man Sullocks, at the risk of his life and
with great presence of mind, stopped
the horse, and the archdeacon and his
daughter were saved from serious ac-
cident. The archdeacon, sensible of
his Indebtedness to the policeman,
wrote to the watch committee of the
Town Council in praise of his gallant
conduct. The Town Council compli-
mented Sullocks, and resolved, with
the approval of the chief constable, to
hand him over Archdeacon Freeman's
letter. Such is a paragraph going the
rounds of the papers. Is it not delight
full? Such magnificent generosity on
the part of an archdeacon and Town
Council is only too rare. What will
the happy policeman do with the archi-
DIAGONAL letter, is now the question.
Have it framed, it is supposed, that
future generations of Sullocks yet I'M
born may gaze upon it with proper
pride.

Mapping the Stars.

Some time ago, the German astrono-
mical society divided the northern
heavens into zones of five degrees each,
within which all stars up to the ninth
magnitude were to be carefully OBJ
served twice. and their exact positions
recorded. Portions of this important
work were assigned to the observatories
in Cambridge and Chicago, that OF
Cambridge being the zone between fifty
and fifty-five degrees, containing be-
tween seven and eight thousand stars -
q work that will require several years
for its execution. The telescope used
for this purpose is described as a mar
vel of mechanical delicacy and ingenui-
ty. 1t is nine feet in length, with an
object-glass eight inches in diameter,
and it is constructed throughout of
carefully beaten brass. At each side of
the instrument is system of prisms
and reflectors, together with graduated
circles divided into spaces of five de-
grees. The figures of the latter are be-
lieved to be the finest in tie world,
four delicate instruments being used in
reading them. These prisms and re-
Electors are placed in glass cases, and
serve to carry the light from single
flame to every point of the telescope
where illumination is necessary. BY
this means, the small wires in the eye
piece used for calculating the position
of star, and also the graduated circles
from which the degrees are read by the
microscopes, are brilliantly lit up; while
another series of refectors throws Q
food of light over the recording table.
By the aid of finding arc, divided into
spaces of five degrees, the instrumt nj
may be set eleven times in the briei
space of one minute, ,at,an equal number
degrees ranging from extreme nortE
to entreme south. In zone work, where
the graduated art is necessarily much
shorter, the telescope can be set a'
many as twenty-five times in minute

AWfuIIy Provoking.

A young lady of Newark, who lately
became infatuated with a dashing
young gallant of the city, had her cup
of Joy overflow the other afternoon,
when the servant informed her that a
gentleman giving the name of Mr.. -
was in the parlor. This was his
euphonious cognomen, and this was
his first call. Our excited heroine con-
sumed half an hourin making an elabo-
rate toilet, spent ten minutes more
before the mirror in getting her ruby
lips into the most bewitching shape,
and then with her heart going pity
pat, tripped into the parlor in light
and graceful manner-to to find horrid
book agent. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that she dispatched the visitor
without much ceremony.

Torpedo Boats.

The launch of the torpedo boat at
the Boston Navy Yard marks a new
era in the history of naval warfare. No
government except that of the United
States has yet successfully attempted
the construction of boats devoted es-
pecially to torpedo service and, conse-
quently, the boat recently launched
at Brooklyn and that just placed in
the water at Boston are the only vessels
of the kind in the world. The Boston
boat will carry twenty-five or thirty
torpedoes of the most approved plan,
each weighing about 800 pounds, and
each calculated to be capable of de-
stroying any man-of-war. The tor
pedoes are to be attached, one at time,
to an iron shaft, running out forward,
and can be exploded at any moment.
The difficulty in arranging a torpedo
boat so as to insure the destruction of
an epemy's vessel, without injuring the
boat, has been overcome; it being dis
covered that the radius of the circle of
immediate effect of a torpedo with a
one hundred pound charge is about
fourteen feet, it only requires that the
shaft to which the torpedo is affixed
shall extend that distance beyond the
prov of the boat to insure the desired
result. All other difficulties having
been already met, the success of this
new method of naval warfare is regard
ed as assured.

The Remains of Charles Sumner.

When the remains of Senator Sumner
were delivered to the Governor and
people of Massachusetts,, Senator An
thony spoke as follows:
May it please your Excellency: We
are commanded by the Senate of the
United States to render back to you
your illustrious dead. Nearly a quarter
of century ago you dedicated to the
public service man who was even then
greatly distinguished. He remained in
it, quickening its patriotism, informing
its councils, and leading in its deliber-
ations, until, having survived in contin-
uous service all his original associates,
he has closed his earthly career. With
reverend hands we bring to you his
mortal part that it may be committed
to the soil of the State already renowned
that gave him birth. Take it. 1t is
yours. The part which we do not re-
turn to you is not wholly yours to re-
ceive, nor altogether ours to give. It
belongs to the country, to mankind, to
freedom, to civilization, to humanity.
We come to you with emblems of
mourning which family testify to the
sorrow that dwells in the breasts upon
which they lie. So much is due to the
infrmity of human nature. But in the
view of reason and philosophy is it not
rather matter of high exaltation that
life SO pure in its personal qualities,
so high in its public aims, so fortunate
in the fruition of noble effort, has
closed safely before age had marred its
intelligence and vigor; before time had
dimmed the luster of its, genius. May
it please your Excellency, our mission
is completed. We commit to you the
body of Charles Sumner. His undyine
fame the muse of History has already
taken in her keeping"
Gov. Washburn responded in behalf
| of the State Committee.

4 Single Man.

In an article of some of the noted
men of past generation Francis Jacox
says "Dr. Darwin, the grandfather
of the great living naturalist, was a
strange compound of science and eccen-
tricity. He wrote most of his works
on scraps of paper with pencil, as he
travelled. His equipage was as odd as
his habits. He rode in an old 'sulky,
with skylight at top, and an awning
which could be drawn over it in case of
need. The front of the carriage con-
tanned box for writing g-paper and pen
ellis, knife and fork, and spoon. On
one side was huge pile of books. On
the other, a hamper of fruit and sweet
meats, cream and sugar, which divided
the attention, of the burly old doctor
with the stack of literature.

To REMovEGREAsE SPoTs.-The or
dinary method of removing grease spots
on articles Of clothing, &C., by means
Of benzine is not always veryeffectual,
and removes less than it actually
spreads. To remove a grease spot
from garment place thick piece of
good blotting paper underneath the
stain and another piece above it, after
thoroughly saturating the spot with
benzine. The hot fiat. iron is now ap-
piled to the upper piece of paper and
pressed on it for some time. The re-
suit is the cotaplete absorption of the
grease by the blotting paper.

CRIME IN PARIs.-In Paris, as in most
great cities, the proportion of the crimi-
nal classes to the bulk of the popula-
tion is larger than elsewhere, and it has
been estimated that the Partisan cleo
toral body comprises 10000 persons
who have undergone condemnation of a
sufficiently severe nature to justify de-
priving them of the franchise.
