The KafIir Mail Carrier.

Our city postman would certainly envy
these stalwart negro runnersif they could
see one. Travellers tell us that many of
these people present specimens OF the
human form equal to those seen in an
cient sculpture.
The young Kaffirs are marvelously
swift of foot, speed being reckoned by
them as q chief characteristic of soldierly
eminence, and their powers of endurance
are astonishing. One will make a jour
ney of sixty or seventy miles, carrying
letters without experiencing much APP
parent fatigue. Rev. J. w. Wood thus
speaks of the Kaffir's manner of acting
the postman:
Taking an assagal or two with him, and
perhaps short stick with knob at the
end, called kerry" he will start off at
a singing sort of mixture between a run
and a trOt, and will hold this pace al
most without cessation.
As to provision for his journey, he
need not trouble himself about it, for he
is sure to fall in with some hut, or per,
haps village, and is equally sure of oh,
tanning both food and shelter. He steers
his course almost as if by intuition, re.
CARELESS of beaten tracks, and arrives at
his destination with the mysterious Ger.
tainty that characterizes the migration
of the swallow.
It is not so easy to address a fctter in
Africa as in England, and it is equally
difficult to give directions for finding any
particular house or village. If chic
should be on visit, and ask his host to
return the call, he simply tells him to &c
SO many days in such direction, and sc
on. However, the Kaffir is quite satisfied
with such indications, and is. sure to at
tain his point.
When the messenger has delivered hi,
letter, he will squat down OH the grouno
and wait patiently for the answer. As
matter course, refreshments will be sup
Piled to him, and he will return at thu
same pace.
Europeans are always surprised wher
they first see q young Kaffir undertake
the delivery of letter at so great q dis
lance, and still more at the wonderful,
short time in which he will perform thu
Journey Nor are they less surprised
when they find that he thinks himsel
very we'll paid with shilling for hi
trouble.

Knowing that you are subject to great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your
part has a strong tendency to prolong, and
the longer it is neglected the more you have
to endure and the more difficult of cure your
case becomes, 7, as n physician, who is daily
consulted by scores of your sex, desire to
say to you, that l am constantly meeting
with those who have been treated for their
ailments for months without being benefited
i'm the least, until they have become perfectly
discouraged, and have almost made up their
minds never to take another dose of medi-
cine, nor be tortured by any further treat
ment They had rather die and have their
sullerngs ended than to live and suffer as
they have. They say they are worn out by
suffering, and are only made worse by treat
ment. of anything more discouraging, we
certainly can not conceive, and were there
no more successful mode of treating such
difficulties than that, the principles of which
teach the reducing and depicting OF the
vital forces of the system, when the indica-
tons dictate treatment directly the reverse
| of the one adopted for them, their cases
would be deplorable indeed. But, lady suf-
ferers, there is a better and far more success

| treatment and strong medicines will never
cure you. If you should use rational means,
such as common sense should dictate to every
intelligent lady, take such medicines as EN-.
body the very best invigorating tones and
nervjnes, compounded with special reference
to your delicate system. Such happy com
bination you will find in my Favoritc Pre-
scription which has received the loudest
praise from thousands Of your sex. Those

Brave Boy.

We can scarcely doubt that Divine
Providence often protects the lives OF
those who risk their own to preserve
others. Such, at least, would seem to be
the case in the following incident, taken
from recent Kentucky paper:
Last Monday night, as Robert Fisher,
lad who resides with his parents on the
line of the Memphis Branch Railroad.
about one mile beyond Memphis junction,
in Warren County, was on his way home,
between the hours of nine and ten
o'clock, he discovered an obstruction up,
on the track, in the shape of cross ties
placed upright in the "cow-gap," it hav.
ing been placed there with the evident
intention of throwing off the track tie
Memphis train, which comes northward
during the night.
Upon making this discovery he inn
mediately proceeded to remove the OBJ
struction, whereupon some miscreant
who had cor cealed himself by the way
attempted to shoot him; but fortunately
for young Fisher, the percussion cap or
the pistol snapped without discharginl
the weapon.
The miscreant finding that his pisto
had thus failed him, threw a rock at Fisher
and knocked his hat off. Fisher became
frightened at the assaults made upor
him, and concluded to run back to TIT
junction for aid.
Arriving at the junction, he reported
what had transpired in time for tn
tclegraphic operator to notify the con
ductor of the approaching train of tn
paril which awaited him.
The train that was due is Gghtnin!

rapid rate in making connections, beinI
generally we'll filed with through pas
sengers.
But for the discovery of the obstruc
ton by young Fisher, and the prompt
tude with which he gave information 9
it at the junction, it is well-nigh certai
that the train would have been throw
from the track, and that, as a const
quence, number of lives would hav
been lost

A BIG story about fattening hogs is
told by b. Race, of Lorraine county, in
the Ohio Farmer, as follows: About Sep.
TENDER LIST, bought two pigs that would
not weigh, dressed, over sixty pounds
each. The first sixty days l fed corn
and meal mixed with slop from the
kitchen; after that, sour milk in place
of slop, until l MISUNDERSTANDING
2sth-when they together weigh so5
pounds in one hundred and twenty days.
The meal was ground very fine and fed
twice a day, four quarts at a time, with
out cooking. Breed, what is known as
"short.faces !" age when butchered, eight
and a half months. Before / got them
they were fed nothing but whey from a
cheese factory. The meal / fed was
made from corn four years old, and was
of the best quality.

MEDICAL ADvERTIsING.-The medical
profession are outspoken in their de
nunciation of the system of medical adj
vertising, and declare that any medicine
that is advertised is fraud. How
thoroughly inconsistent and unfair is
such an argumentl The men who are so
loud in their criticisms, are those who
advertise themselves as medical sdrdns by
ostentatious display; splendid residences
with massive door plates; fast horses and
costly carriages. DIR. J. WALKER, Of
California, an old practitioner, respected
alike for his skill and conscientious indie
pendence, dares to differ; and having
discovered in his VINEGAR BITTERs a
purely herbalistic medicine. free from all
spirituous poisons, a wonderful specific
for numerous disorders, advertises the
same for the relief of his fellow man, and
is borne out in his declarations of its
many virtues by thousands of invalids,
who are being cured of disease by its
use. ~
