Early Navigation.

At g late meeting of the British An thropological Institute, Colonel Lane Fox read paper On Early Modes of Navigation, in which he described the various contrivances employed by savage races for transit on the water. Com mencing with the simple trunk canoe the author traced the development of the art of boat and ship building through the stages of stitched plank canoes, bark canoes, rafts, out-rigger canoes (single or double, the double canoe, the .varia tion of hull, the weather platform, the rudder, and the rude sail, and gave the distribution of their many forms and notifications. It was argued that the rude bark-foat of the Australian, the Tasmanian, and the Ethiopian, the catamaran of the Papuan, the dugout canoe of the New Zealander, and the built-up canoe of the Samoan, were survlvals, representing successive stages in the development of the art of ship building, not lapses to ruder methods of construction, as the result of degrade tion; that each stage supplies us with examples of what, at one time, was the perfection of the art. Some of the more primitive kinds spread over nearly the whole world, whilst others had n more limited area of distribution.

FrOZe Up.

The Evening Post gives an extract from 8 letter written by Q merchant of New York city on February 21, 1877, to his son in Europe. We clip some sen tences from it, showing the extent of the ice-blockade of that year: Since the 18th of January 181O our river has been blockaded with ice so that attempts to get to sea have been in vain. The British packet and several other small vessels made an attempt three weeks ago to get out, but were caught in the ice, and 1t was some days before they could get back again. For several days the people crossed on the ice from Brooklyn to New York, and from New York to Hoboken, and the Sound has been com pletely fast between the islands above Hurlgate, so that they have been riding in sleighs from one to the other, and ali around these parts. There are now ready for sea fifty or sixty sail, among which are the Protection and Marcus Hill. We are without accounts from England and Ireland for ninety days. There are thirty or forty sail approach ing the Hook.

Bleeding from Lungs, Catarrh, Bron- @ chitis, Consumption. A Wonderfal
 Cure

ROCHESTER N r., Jan. B, 1874
 R. V. Pierce M D.. Buffalo, N. Y.: =.
 Dear, ,Sr-I had suffered d from catarrn in an aggravated form for about twelve years and for many doctors and things with no lasting bene- fit. In May 1872, becoming nearly worn out with excessive editorial labors on 6 paper in New York city, l was attacked with bronchitis 1n severe form, suffering almost 8 total loss of voice. Iretuned home here, but lad been home only to weeks when I was completely prostrated with hen orrhage from the lungs, .ha wing four severe bleeding spells within two weeks, and first three inside of nine days" In the September following, I improved sufficient ly to be able to be about, though in very feeble state. My bronchial trouble remained and the catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. I seemed to be losing ground daily continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost daily until about the first of March, 1873, when I became A friend suggested your remedies. But was extremely skeptical that that they would do me good. as had lost all heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicines and doctors with disgust However, I obtained one of your cir culars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that you understood your business, at least. I finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets. and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise I soon began to improve. The Discovery and Pellets, in short time, brought out 8 severe eruption, which continued for several weeks. felt much better, my appetite improved, and gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the catarrh was gone, the bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no cough whatever, and had entirely ceased to raise blood and, contrary to the expectation of some of my friends, the cure has remained permanent. Ihave had no more hemorrhages from the lungs, and am entirely. free from catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and so long. The debt of gratitude owe for the blessing have received at your hands knows no bounds. am thoroughly satisfied, from my experience, that your medicines will | master the worst forms of that odious disease catarrh, as well as throat and lung diseases. I have recommended them to very many and ! shall ever speak in their praise. |

Owing. to irregularities of surface, it often happensthat considerable difficulty IS encountered in putting good polish on articles of brass or copper. If, how ever, they be immersed in a bath com dosed of aquafortis one part, spirits of salt six parts, and water two parts for a few minutes if small, or twenty or thirty if very large, they will become covered with kind of black mud, which on re- moyal by rinsing displays beautifully lustrous under surface. Should the luster be deemed insufficient, the i'm mersion may be repeated, care being always taken to rinse thoroughly. All articles cleaned in this manner should be dried in hot, dry sawdust.
