The Changers and Temperance.

The Ohio Changers, in session in Xenia, in 8 body, with their wives, marched to place where the ladies were engaged in prayer, and there of fered them the following resolutions which they had just unanimously adopted
 Whereas, There has been, and is, al- most an entire failure of laws and mu- nicipal enactments to diminish the cause of intemperance and, whereas, we, as patrons and masters of 555 sub ordinate granges of Ohio, who have families liable at all times to danger from the insidious wiles of those whose moral standing and capacity do not ele- vate them to higher calling than the sale of intoxicating liquors, thereby en- dangering the future character and use- fitness of the rising generation there fore.
 Resolved, That inasmuch as law and ordinances have almost signally failed to accomplish the desired end, we, the State Grange of Ohio, heartily indorse the movement inaugurated by the no- ble women of Ono for the suppression of intemperance in our State, and we extend to them our sympathy and moral support in their noble and Christian work.
 Resolved, That we, the wives of the patrons here assembled, do pledge our prayers and efforts to SUI pport the ladies of Xenia, and that when we return to our homes in the different parts of the State they will not be forgotten by us.
 Rcsolved, That we request our Wor. thy Master Shellis to present copy ol these resolutions to the Ladies Tem. perance League of Xenia, Ohio. Signed J. H. West, Chairman :; Isaac Lietz, Saoratorv

Nil Desperandum.

A real healthy man or woman is rarity; and what wonder? when we realize that it is the custom to overload tho stomach, and then produce chronic disease by the use of spirituous liquors, " Tonics," "Appetizers," "Restora- tives," etc. Having first produced dis ease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why " nothing does him good" Just so; and the reason is that they all, or nearly all, find a 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 B1rTERs
 The discoverer, DR. J. WALKER, of California, is no pretender, but an hon. orable practicing physician, and his discovery is the result of years of labor and study. The wonderful cures effect
 ed by them of Dyspepsia, Fevers, Rheumatism, and many other terrible diseases, are almost incredible. e.-Cons.

The Original Garden of Eden.

Dr. Hardinger thinks that he can give good reasons for his belief that the "grand old gardener and his wife " had and lost their first situation in the re- zion about the North Pole. Several considerations led him to this conclu- sion. In the first place the North Pole, hard as 1t is now to get to, was origi- nally an easy place to get away from in all directions; from no other could 1t be so easy, and hence the dispersion of men to all parts of the globe is more readily accounted for. Dr. Hardinger finds, what most other modern archae- ologists have not, abundance of evidence of the identical origin of all races of men in language and in religious be- liefs and rites. The Hebrew scriptures say, as Hardinger interprets them, that Adam and Eve, after leaving the garden, went to the Southeast and dwelt there. In Siberia, therefore, we should expect to find evidence of the earliest residence of an intelligent and cultivated people. Such evidence there is in the traditions of several Eastern nations that their ancestors came from the North, and also in ancient remains of implements, burial places and mines worked and abandoned many years ago. Besides these considerations which make this theory plausible, Dr. Har- dinper had others which he calls the theologico-scientifc proofs. Accepting tho nebular hypothesis, he admits that our earth was at one time an incan- descent ball, which only by gradual and other changes became fit for the abode of man. The poles, now tEe coldest part of the surface, must have first be- come habitable, and therefore first in- habited. Moreover, we are told that when Adam was driven out an angel with flaming sword was set to guard the gate and his +F fetaEn The this etymology) for flame or ice is "esh," which IS evidently allied to our word ice.

A Christian Right.

It is scarcely two years since the whole Christian world was shocked by the cruel murder of John Coleridge Paterson by the savages of New Zea- land. For them he had left home and country, and to them he had brought the flower of his youth, his great faith and abiding tenderness. In his last agony he might we'll have said to his assassins "Ye know not what ye do. " He was remarkable linguist, speaking seven languages of the old world, and twenty-three Oceanic languages. For sixteen years he served this people with truly unselfih devotion, and hay Ing once put his hand to the blow never faltered or looked back until at the age of forty-four he laid down his life on coral island, the scene of his lowly but sublime labors. Paterson was not one of those who, in their great zeal, can pass years of exile as Livingston did, and show very little sensibility about every day affairs. No father among his children could have been more tender than he witk is heathen students and he wrote to his father, himself man of prominence 'I thank you for your great love in never calling me away from my work even to see your face once more on earth" Rare common sense and practical industry went hand in hand with his piety and fidelity. After his conservation as bishop he saw that the lads were properly fed and washed when they were down with typhoid fever, and deprived himself of necessary sleep in order that the reme- dies should be properly administered. He insisted that a man to be a success ful missionary must not only have a cultivated mind, but he also should be "a carpenter, mason, something of a butcher, and good deal of cook. Y" His life is a standing lesson and re- buke to the scores of adventurers, blind and selfish to the core, who have cast discredit on the very name of mission ary to the heather, and it is @ comfort, when refecting on the cruel mauner of his taking off, that though many hearts were saddened by his death, not fewer were the hearts made purer and brighter by his unselfish life.

Benefits of Advertising.

Because money can be foolishly thrown away in advertising is one great reason why some do not prosper in busi- ness. They ignore the benefits of the press, and use only the private chan nels to inform the world what they are doing, and what they have to sell, and the business keeps pace with the extent of the means employed, and does no more than that. By some injudicious investment, it has been decided that the use Of printers ink is money squan- dered, and that there is business like economy in keeping out of the public journals. Now this is very unfortu- nate position to be in, for the business man who depends upon the public for patronage, cannot and will not prosper unless he has an efficient means to let that public know what he is able to do, and what inducements he can give to make it an advantage for che people to examine his stock in trade. Advertis- ing shows enterprise and generosity, and these two clements are just what attracts the popular attention. If man never advertises, the public learn to look upon him as niggardly and un- prosperous, and therefore shrink from hin. Keeping business constantly be- fore the public, the experience of thou sands of our most substantial men will say is the life-blood of their prosperity. Judicious and constant advertising all ways pays. An annual advertisement in Q journal will always pay largely, while perhaps an insertion or two year in the same journal would make com paratively light returns. An Indian once tried the softneaa Of featbarr Inv laying one on rock and stretching himself upon it. There are some who try the virtue of advertising on the same plan. It's as true of advertising as of anything else in life, that if it is worth doing at all, it is worth doing we'll. People who advertise only once in three months forget that most folks cannot remember anything longer than about seven days. Quitting advertis- ments in dull times is like tearing out @ dam because the water is low. Either plan will prevent good times from ever coming.

Some Weather Signs.

"M. Quad" enumerates the follow ing in "Our Preside Friend," as among the most reliable weather signs
 If the pear trees blossom before the 20th of March, and you notice the COWS and horses rubbing themselves against the meeting-house door, and the top rail of the fence casts two separate shadows, it argues we'll for the coming wheat crop.
 If the clouds all move one way during November, and big girls go barefoot, and tin-peddlers are numerous, and your wife wants new pair of shoes, and plum trees grow the most branches on the west side, the new year will be prolific of thunder-storms and light ning-rod agents.
 If pumpkins are frost bitten before they turn yellow, and house-rent goes up, and catnip tea has bitter taste, and sawlogs show an inclination to roll uphill, the potato rot is sure to follow.
 If there are high winds in February, followed by warm rains, and cattle re- fuse to lick salt, and. red-headed girls are conspicuous, July will be cool month, ,.-r

Chang and Eng,

The Philadelphia physicians who had mad an autopsy on the bodies of the Siamese Twins made full report to the College of Physicians and Surgeons. The following Is a condensed account of the conclusions arrived at
 The supposition that the band con- necting the twins was simply of feshy nature has been decided in the nega- tive. It was found that a peritoneal connection did exist; that is, refec- tion or extension of the peculiar mem- brane lining of the abdomen extended into the band, though it was not con- tlnuous. Sacs or pouches were formed by the reflection, possessing no com munication between the two. The in- innate visceral connection between the twins was shown by the injecting fluid, vein of one and appeared in the mesen- teric vein of the other. The liver of Chang occupied it's normal position on the right side of his body below the diaphragm. The liver of Eng was on his left side, next to Chang, his spleen being abnormally situated on the right side of his body. The two flyers had evidently at one period of the existence -pOSS1U10 4C6Ib1-O1 Gu0 GW1uS Do0u virtually one gland, but had eventually become separated. This is shown by the passage of the injecting fluid from the mesenteric vein of one to that of the other. The fact of common umbilical cord between the twins is also settled, the naval being situated in the middle of the band. During foetal life, there fore, the circulation was conducted to the twins from the maternal system pre- cisely as to Q single individual. These facts show that a separation of the twins during life would have resulted fatally to one or both of them. The nervous intimacy through the band was extremely slight, and the individuality of the two men so strongly marked that it was not deemed advisable to examine the brains, nothing further than con- parison of the weight of the two being expected from such an operation. The extension of the ensiform cartilage or breast bone, which formed constituent of the attachment, was mere flexible f1bro-c -cartilaginous substance, in which there was nothing like an appearance of an elbow-like joint, as has been re- ported.

Bad Manners.

Many people who consider them selves very well bred distinguish them selves in public places solely by their bad manners, These people are con- splcuous at lectures and concerts, the theatre and opera, and even at church. The crowding in and pushing out, with out regard to the rights, comfort or even safety of others, stepping on dresses and crushing hats and toes, sometimes approach barbarity. Some times the finest strains of an exquisite piece of music are lost in the chatter of pair of girls, or tho loud chattering of what might otherwise have been mis- taken for young lady and gentleman Often the climax of lecture is de- stroyed by the going out of people who advertise their ignorance and bad breeding in that way. Sometimes the rleasure of a dozen people, during the most touching part of performance, is dissipated by the restlessness of a fruit. eating couple near them, who for get they are not at home. And this is one of the ills for which no cure has yet been found, and must be borne patiently by a suffering public.

A Pie-BitIng Match.

The people in New Mexico originate some curious societies. In Mesilla and Las Cruces, they have-or it is said they have what are known as the "Pie-Biters, composed of persons pas sionately fond of pies. So strong has the rivalry grown between the two so- cieties, that challenge resulted, and the contest is reported to have been as follows:
 "The pies were to be mince, and one inch thick, Mesilla to bite first, and no bite to count unless it reached the cen- tre of the pie. Mesilla piled up nine pies, and shut down on them without an effort. Las Cruces elevated the top of his head and closed his jaws over eleven. Great enthusiasm among his friends). Mesilla then came to the scratch, or bite, manfully, and Topped his lip over dozen successfully. (Odds offered on Mesilla). Las Cruces, at this point said: Well, it is time to stop this nonsense; hand me fifteen. They were given him; he smiled, laid the back of his head on his shoulders, and came down on the bundle of pies like an alligator on a mouthful of flies. But his teeth did not come together. He struggled and jerked, but it was no use. Three of his teeth broke, and his hold gave way. On examining, a dog collar was found in the centre pie, and Las Cruces had got his teeth tangled in the buckle. Jack Martin, the referee, decided in favor of Mesilla, on the ground that everything was fair in a mince-pie."

A Hard Case.

Samuel Ulm, of St. Joseph county, was sent to the Michigan state prison In 1855, on life sentence, for the mur- der of one Estabrool, and it has just been discovered that he is innocent. MT. Ulm is now seventy years old, and after having passed nearly twenty years in prison it is hardly likely that he will care whether he is shown to be inno- cent or not. The law has done it's worst so far as he is concerned, and repara- tion, unhappily, is impossible. And it is somewhat important fact, by the way, that the law has no business to make such blunders,
