A Physician who Healed Himself.

If railroad director were lashed to every locomotive, there would be fewer railroad accidents, and if doctors had to take their own physic before admin istering it to their patients, fewer peo- pie would be poisoned. Dr. Joseph Walker, of California, took this course when he first compounded the famous Vinegar Bitters which now rank as an inestimable household remedy in all parts of the United States. He healed himself with this specific before he off, fered it to the world. He introduced it with simple statement of the man. ner in which he had discovered it's vegetable ingredients and been cured, while wandering, sick and poor, among the California tribes. He stated what the preparation had done for himself, and few sufferers from dyspepsia, biliousness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and many other prevalent disorders, believed him, tried the new restora- tive and were more than satisfied with the results. In this way the sale of the Vinegar Bitters began, and we mention the fact as an evidence that in this age of intelligence and inquiry nothing that is really valuable to mankind can prove 8 pecuniary failure-even though it may lack the help of capital, and have to fight it's way against powerful opposing interests. Within two or three months after its introduction, the article be- came self-supporting, and it now yields 8 magnificent annual revenue.-C0n1.

A Telescopic View of the Moon.

By means of 8 good telescope very distinct view may be obtained of the moon. With @ power of 1000 we are, as it were, brought to within 239 miles of its surface, and on very favorable occasions power even higher than this has been applied. With the high est power, however, yet employed, no trace of any inhabitants has been dis covered, though any large town must have been seen, did such exist on the visible side. Even to the naked eye the moon presents the appearance of rug ged and uneven surface, and telescopic observation confirms this opinion. We find that in many parts of it's surface very high mountains exist, and the ele- vation of many of these have been measured by observing the shadows cast by them when the sun shines obliquely. At the time of full moon these shadows, that have hitherto been so conspicuous, disappear, as the sun then shines vertically upon them. Very accurate maps have now been drawn of the moons surface on large scale, and the principal mountains have received names, usually those of cele- brated astronomers. One peak, named Newton, is found to have an elevation of nearly 24, ,O00 feet, and several others are very lofty.

Recovering Lost Estates.

The most extraordinary ideas prevail among large class of ignorant persons as to the vast properties awaiting them in the old country, if they could but get together the missing links.
 There are certain families who peri odically hold meetings, recalling that cheerful assemblage described at the opening of "Martin Chuzzlewit," with the view of composing the recovery of their own again." but we have never been able, says an exchange, to hear of 8 single instance in which really sat- isfactory pecuniary result followed. In most cases there is not even @ shadow of foundation for the claim.
 Some time ago Q gentleman bearing the name of those who claimed one of these estates, having become bored to distraction with the visits and letters of those who represented themselves as his co-heirs, exhorting him to assist them in their efforts to recover their joint inheritance, determined, with the view of bringing the matter to 8 cli- max, to make inquiries through the most efficient channel. He accordingly put himself in contamination with the agents of Messrs. Barring, who. through the London solicitors of that firm. made the closest inquiries into the matter. The result was to ascertain that the colossal fortune was pure delusion. But there was no convincing the igno- rant claimants, who are as eager as ever in the wild goose chase. We imagine that in many cases these delusions are fostered by roguish lawyers. A case occurred two years ago in England il- illustrative of this. It appeared that in the black country" of Stafordshire, two sharpers, who had acquired smat- tering of law as clerks in an attorneys office, feeced people out of incredibly large sums on pretext of prosecuting their claims. In an instance which came before the British Consul General three years ago, it was evident that the young woman claiming hoped by this means to entrap 8 man in a superior position into marriage with her, and possibly she might have succeeded if she had "piled on" rather more mod erately; but nothing is more remarka- ble in these ridiculous claims than the amount st which the claimants assess them. This young lady, or her brother, was in the habit of dropping ill to know "whether the G19, ,0OO, ,OOO had yet been paid to her credit. and affected to be quite surprised when MT. Archibald was forced to confess that this trifle had not yet come to hand.

Time to Begin.

Two ministers were walking together one Sunday morning to a country church several miles off, where one oi them was to preach and the other was to listen. The conversation turned on the length of sermons. The listening brother asked the preaching one how long he meant to preach.
 1T shall speak an hour and quarter, at least," said Brother Preach:
 |" An hour and a quarter p respond. ed Brother Listen "Why, I never preach more than half an hour p
 "Don't preach moro than half an hour P said Brother Preach; "why, il takes me half an hour to get ready to beginl'' ... '
 "Well, then," said Brother Listen, "we'u have about that long till we get to church. You had better begin now, and save the time of the congregation. '
