WHEN AN ANTIDoTE or remedy for
any particular class Of disease obtains
a wide-spreading notoriety, it is but
reasonable to suppose that it must merit
the popularity it receives. 1t is within
our province to mention that DIR. J.
Walkers CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITERs,
so long and favorably known SIS the
safest and most reliable remedial agent
for the cure of Liver, Kidney, Bladder,
and Glandular Diseases, Mental and
Physical Debility, and all complaints
emanating from a corrupt state of the
blood, etc., are in great demand. So
satisfied are we of the intrinsic worth
of this medicine, that we do not hesitate
to notice it in our columns. 1t is well
to mention that this medicine is COM
pounded of roots, herbs, and flowers of
California, and has no fiery material or
alcohol used in its preparation. We
can add no better eulogium than the
fact that we use it constantly in our own
family, and each member thereof par
takes of it, when necessary, according
to directions.-NeW York Paper.

InSurrectiOn of Slaves.

The Cubans in New York have re-
ceived information through private
sources of a contemplated uprising of
the slaves on the sugar estates of Canas
and the vicinity of the district of the
Mariel, about 45 miles from Havana,
and also in the neighborhood of Bahia
Honda. The uprising first began on
the estates of J. Aguirre, and appears
to have been fomented by the white
population of poor planters, who have
dread of the draft. Most of the
planters are native Cubans, who are
under the impression that if the slaves
should rise in their vicinity the Spanish
authorities would feel bound to arm the
whites in order to obtain peace at
home, and thereby prevent them being
sent to the front to fight their fellow
countrymen in the eastern portion of
the island. Gov. Araoz, who is the
civil chief of the disturbed district,
having seen the uprising and dreading
its consequences should it be allowed
to gain Roadway, has already conferred
with the Captain General, who has or
dered force of troops into the vicinity
of the trouble, in order to keep the
turbulent negroes quiet. Should the
uprising become general, it is estimated
that over 1000 slaves will thus be lei
loose, and cause a troublesome fire tc
be opened in the rear of the Spanish
forces operating against the Cuban in
surpents.

A farmer of Molanges, near Havre,
and his farm-servant, were lately sus-
pected of having killed child. The
rumor took so much consistency as to
cause the mayor to pay an inquiring
visit to the farmer Desault. He found
him at table with his ploughmen, and
the matter having been preached, De-
sault treated the whole as an idle, ma
levolent invention. Besides" says
he, "who accuses me? Perhaps it will
be that cock next" pointing out to a
Spanish chanticleer who was busily
scratching for the family grub on a
large dunghill in the farmyard. The
phrase was scarcely finished when the
cock gave most sonorous crow. The
farmer grew pale the mayor took the
providential hint, and, in spite of the
observations of Desault, the dunghill
was at once examined, and the body OF
the infant discovered at a depth OF
three feet, with it's head severed from
it's body. The farmer and the unfor,
tunGte girl were at once arrested.

What is Meant by a Horse Power?

The power of prime movers is mea-
sured by horse power. Watt found that
the strongest London draft horses
were capable of doing work equivalent
to raising $4,000 pounds one foot high
per minute, and he took this as the
unit of power for the steam engine.
The horse is not usually capable of do
ing so great quantity of work. Ran
kline gave $4,000 foot pounds as the
figure for q mean of several expert
ments, and it is probable that $4,000
foot pounds is fair minutes average
work for good animal. 1t would re-
quire five or six men to do the work of
strong horse. Watts estimate has
become, by general consent among en-
gineers, the standard of power mea-
surement for all purposes. Scientific

FRENCH RAREBIT. An old cook, o
Frenchman, who says that he recently
tasted Welsh rarebit for the first time,
in PhiladeIb, hia, gives the following re-
ceipt for making French rarebit, which
he thinks will be found great deal
better than the Welsh: Take three
ounces of cheese, cut il in small square
pieces, and set IL to fry with a little
piece of butter. When your cheese
begins to melt, have three eggs beaten
up with salt and pepper. Pour them
upon your cheese. Stir and roll it into
a sort of muff, and take it off. The
whole operation should not take more
than one or two minutes.

Preserving Shingles.

When shingles are soaked in crude
petroleum, which is the black unrefned
oil as it comes from the wells, they very
much resemble pitch pine, the oil pene-
trating to the heart of the wood and
not remaining upon the surface. This
renders the wood much more durable,
as it completely prevents the penetra-
ton of water. The simple method is
to procure large tub or half-barrel
full of petroleum, and to throw in a
quantity of shingles. Then, after stir
ring them round with the oil, to dip
them out with hay-fork and place
them on sloping table of boards, in a
heap, to drain, the waste oil flowing
back into the tub. In short time the
oil is all absorbed into the wood, when
the shingles may be removed for use.
