A real healthy man or woman is a
rarity; and what wonder? when we re-
alize that it is the custom to overload the
stomach, and then produce chronic dis
ease by the use of spirituous liquors,
"tonics, "appetizers, restoratives, ="
etc. Having first produced disease by
indiscretion, the victim wonders why
"nothing does him good" Just SO; and
the reason is that they all, OF nearly all,
find basis in alcohol-or poison. To
all thus discouraged we can conscien-
tiously say, "make one more trial. "
Discard spirituous medicines, and give
nature chance, aiding her in the strug-
gle by using one Of her own pure and
unauthorized herb remedies, in the
shape of Vinegar Bitters. The discov-
erer, DR.. J. Walker, of California, is nc
pretender, but an honorable practicine
physician, and his discovery is the result
of years of labor and study. The Won
derful cures effected by them of dyspep
sia, fevers, rheumatism, and many othel
terrible diseases, are almost Incredible.

The Importance of forest culture,
which is attracting attention in Mime
sofa, is likely to be more and more ap-
preciated in the Eastern as well as the
Western States. Tie Boston Globe
thinks it is clear that the preservation Of
what timber we have is the first requisite
to it's increase, aud that, by setting aside
the Adirondack Park, New York has
recognized the absolute necessity of do
ing something to protect agricultural
and mechanical interests of the State
from the evils which an irregular rainfall,
caused by the destruction of forests, occa-
sion. Our excessive cold and heat are
doubtless in some way connected with
this diminution OF timber, and, as this is
becoming so valuable, tree planting may
be recommended as profitable in more
senses than one. Let the woodmen,
therefore, not only spare the trees we
have, so far as they can, but plant a great
many more.

'Chc Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. have
&C mpleted and now occupy their new
ictories in Cambridgeport, Mass, In
which they have introduced machinery
to an extent never before employed in
the manufacture of organs. BY the aid
of this they not only produce the best
organs, but with greatest economy.
Twice as many organs can be produced,
i'll proportion to the number of men en-
ployed, as would be possible with ordi-
nary facilities, and this is the reason
not only for such admirable instruments
but also for such low prices.

Murder in q Court Room.

While several boys were playing in
st. Louis, a little son of Robert M.
Boatright was killed by brick supposed
to have been thrown by Charles Wood
son. While Woodson was being tried
in the criminal court, and while counsel
were arguing legal point, another son
of Mr.. Boatright, about sixteen years
old, stepped up to Woodson and said
"You killed my brother, and l will kill
you," and plunged butchers knife to
the handle into his abdomen. Woodson
fell to the floor, his bowels protruding
in terrible manner. The wound is
mortal. Young Boatright was seized by
a deputy marshal and placed in jail.

WHAT THEY DID.-In that slippery
night they had in Paris an old man fell
on the ice in lonely street and hurt
himself so as to lose consciousness. He
was only found several hours later, and
then was frozen fast. People who found
him lifted him with too much
energy-in fact, tore him up
and left in the ice much of his
clothing and large strip of his skin
They put on the raw place the skin of a
lamb that had been recently killed, and
that skin has grown fast.

A New Belief.

Anew religious belief is gaining ground
in Ohio. It's adherents are called
Eternalists. They hold that the soul is
immortal and thatit occupies succession
of bodies ON earth, both of men and ami
mails; and when disembodied by death it
hovers in the air until by some subtle
process of naturalization it forms or
enters a new infantile body, the character
of that body-whether of hog, dog or
man-depending upon the manner of life
which the deceased person from whom
the soul comes has led. Something like
the doctrine of Pythagoras.

Over-exertion, either of body or mind,
produces debility and disease. The usual
remedy is to take some stimulant, the effect of
which is the same as giving tired horse the
whip instead of oats. The true way is to for
tify the system with permanent tonic like the
Peruvian Syrup "a protoxide of iron), which
gives strength and vigor to the whole system.

The following advice to farmers has
been tried in various sections with most
astonishing success Leave your reap

fence corners, throw your hand rake on
the barn floor, let the cattle and hogs
have the run of your small orchard, keep
your fence corners full of briars, cult
vate the succulent burdock and the fari-
naceous iimpson weed, don't lay up a
fallen rail or restore dilapidated gap,

thoroughly attended to these things,

The Louisiana Compromise in Danger

New York, Feb. 8.
A New Orleans dispatch to the Times
says indications are that the vote to-day in
the conservative caucus onecompromise re-
lations will be very close. the members APP
parently being about equally divided for
and against the compromise. 1t is under
stood that not member of the present
Kellogg legislature will yield, consequent
ly the proposed adjustment is generally re-
garded as impracticable. One thing is
assured, however, the compromise, whether
successful or unsuccessful, will occasion q
serious split in the democratic party of the
state. To-day a card is expected from Mr..
Marshall of the congressional committee,
stating that he has not been consulted in
relation to the compromise, and that no
Official action has been taken by the COM
mittee. AS an individual, however, he
will, he says, do everything to promote
the compromise, provided, however, that
this can be done with honor to the demo
Gratis. 1t is understood that the congress
sional committee are unanimous in opinion
that the action of the returning board was
Illegal, and that the conservatives elected o
majority of members of the legislature al
the late election. Congressional commit
tee will conclude the investigation to-day
and will leave at once for Washington.

down to Al degrees below zero at Fort Fct-
terman, Neb., on Wednesday last, and since
that "Jack Frost" has been fooling about

New England and evidently has concluded
to stop at least another day-perhaps long

is on regular bender, or in other words,
it is very high, and that indicates frigidity
about these times. Sunday morning the
mercury stood at 80 degrees below zero at

The present winter has been especially
severe to builders, here as elsewhere, and
consequently those who had laid their
plans for the erection of buildings, this
season, or have really begun operations in
that line, have with much difficulty carried
out their purposes. A few buildings, how
ever, have been under process of erection
during the winter which have shown more
than usual enterprise on the part of the
builders, under the existing circumstances
of wind and weather. Rutland is steadily
progressing in material growth and each
season shows commendable addition to
her substantial dwellings and business
houses.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 8.
BY a vote of % nays to 10 yeas the SEN
ate rejected the house bill for the relief of
John W. Marsh, being for an extension OF
the sewing machine patent. There was
some debate on the bill, and several senat-
ors declared themselves opposed to ex-
tending patent for anything connected
with sewing machines.
The chair laid before the senate mes
sage from the President in regard to affairs
in Arkansas. in which he says all the testi-
mony will show that in 1872 Joseph Brooks
was lawfully elected governor of the state,
and was unlawfully deprived of his Office I;
that in 1874 the constitution of the state
was overthrow by lawless and revolution
AIRY measures. In concluding the message
the president submits that precedent so
dangerous should not be allowed to pass
unnoticed, and asks congress to take &C
ton in regard to the subject.
