Pillow Life-Preseryers.

The Scotsman prints the following:
can ingenious and useful life-preserver
for passengers and crews was one day
exhibited in Glasgow to a few gentlemen
interested in shipping and emigration.
The preserver consists of two pillows of
preserved corkwood, with an upper pad
ding of hair, covered with mattress-tick.
The pillows are attached to each other in
such manner that when about to be
used they can be placed one on the back
and the other on the chest and tied, the
head and shoulders being thus kept
above water. They have been tested,
and the two have been found to be capa-
BILE of supporting a man of twenty stone
breast high. The pillows can be made
useful as articles of bedding during the
passage, and every passenger can, in a
few minutes notice of danger, put them
to use as ife-preservers. Messrs. Allan,
of the Glasgow and Montreal emigration
steamers, are having the pillow preserv-
ers introduced into all their ocean going
steamers.

A Spider I'm Camp.

life. saws the MERGED (Cal.) Express, to

pears upon the scene. 1t was our good
fortune to be present one day tins week
in a house where there were three
women, two babies and one spider. The
women were Smelling peas for dinner,
and the babies were amusing themselves
by pelting each other with the shucks.
One of the ladies we will designate as
grandma" the two others as Mrs. +.
and Mrs. II. They had the peas i'll the
sack, around which the trio were con-
gregated on the floor. All went well
enough until Mrs. III. put her hand in
the sack for another handful of peas and
brought forth big black spider. She
dropped the peas, spider and all, and
then the performance commenced. The
first thing in order was three agonizing
shrieks. Then grandma mounted a
chair, Mrs. HI. jumped upon table,
while Mrs. f. dropped the pan of shelled
peas and struck a tragic attitude on the
sofa. The spider seemed to be making
for the two babies on the floor. Ma
ternal affection at once triumphed over
fear, and the four feet of the two moth
ers were instantly planted, as they sup
posed, right on top of the spider. But
they didn't touch that spider at all.
Mrs. F.'s left heel struck Mrs. H. on
the right big toe, causing the latter to
dance Jig in the most approved style,
although she belongs to the church.
They again kicked mt the spider, but
missed it, and kicked the babies in
stead. Then the music commenced in
dead earnest-the two women shrieking
and dancing about, and the babies howl
ing for all that was out. We could have
killed the spider, but we didn't want TO,
because it would have spoiled the fun,
which was better than circus. Mean
while grandma had kept her position on
the chair. The old lady's time had now
come. She swung her arms to and fro,
like the boys do at jumping match,
leaped over sewing, machine, and land
ed right on top of that spider, crushing
him TO death. The fun then was over,
and calmness soon reigned again in that
house hold. The three women took a
drink of ice-water, famed themselves a
while, and then got the fire-shovel and
duster.. and carried the corpse of that
ugly dead spider into the kitchen and
cremated him in the cooking-,tove

VINEGAR BIrrERs. The great merit of
VINEGAR BITrERs has made them the
leading medicine of the day, and respect
able druggists everywhere write: They
are the best and most popular prepa-
ration IN the market" They have stood
the test of public opinion and won conf
dence. They sell rapidly because they
cure, If you are sick you want reliable
medicine. VINEGAR BTTrERs commend
themselves to the ailing and afflicted, as
they are deficient in one thing alone,
viz: the stinlulant that unduly excites
the brain, and creates morbid thirst for
spirits There is no phase of Indiges-
ton, Biliousness, Nervous Disease, or
Physical Debility, in which they will not
effect cure. Invalids who are wasting
away from want of proper action in the
liver, stomach and bowels, will find them
a constitutional specific, and fountain
of vitality and vigor as refreshing and
exhilarating as cool, gushing spring of
water to the parched and fainting traveller
in the desert. Al

The Fallen Emnire.

A new book has just appeared in Paris
which is calculated to excite something
of the same general interest and lively
controversy called out in this country by
the recent publication of Gen. Sherman's
Memoirs. 1t is volume by Nj. Olivier,
Napoleon's Premier at the time war was
declared against Prussia The purpose
of the book is to defend the ministry of
that time from the serious charges that
have since been freely made against it.
He disclaims the responsibility for the
Franco russian conflict, and assumes
that Prussia had really declared the war
by insults that could not be borne. One
of the best explanations of the French
disasters, aside from the inferior PROV
ess due to deficient military method, is
found in the wretched condition of the
Commissary, Quartermaster and Ord
nance Departments. NJ. OLIVER claims
that the responsibility for this cannot be
put upon his ministry, as the military
organization was the work of years be-
fore his ministry came into power.

Confirmation of Genesis.

A strange confirmation of the Book of
Genesis comes from Borneo, on the au-
thority of Alexander Mackenzie Cam
eron, in the shape of two traditions held
by the Dyaks, people of that island,
and by them considered aboriginal. One
is that long ago there was great deluge,
when the ancestors of the human family
the Chinese, Malays and Dyaks-dweit
together. The three had to swim for their
lives. and all three came safe to land.
The Dyak lost all but his weapons, the
Chinese all but his books; so that the
Dyaks never were very literary nor the
Chinese very martial. The second ira
dition is that very early in Dyak history
a great ancestor of theirs determined to
construct ladder and climb up to
heaven. He succeeded in getting pretty
high, but at last, one night, a worm
gnawed into the foot of the ladder and
induced a premature descent. These
are not the most extreme distortions of
the accounts of the flood and of the
Tower of Babel.

Some time ago Sweae came to this
city direct from his native country, but
from the fact that he knew nothing OF
our language and could not make HIM
self understood, his efforts to obtain
work were unsuccessful Finally, as a
last resort, he went to Fort Leavenworth
and enlisted in the regular army. One
day, shortly after the arrival OF the Indian
prisoners here, he strolled around to the
guard-house in which they were con-
fined, and overhearing some of the con-
versation going on between the Chey-
ennes, was struck with the similarity
between their language and his own.
He entered the cell and began to talk
with several, and found that he could, by
talking to them in his mother-tongue,
make them understand. This fact
coming to the ears CT Gen. Pope, that
gentleman has sent on to Washington,
recommending that the Swede be sent to
ST. Augustine, Fla, where the Indians
are at present confined, to act as an inter
prefer. -LeaUenworth (Kan.) Times.

Wild Beast Tanners.

In review of Frost's book on "Circus
Life and Circus Celebrities" the Pail
Mdu Gazette says: Menageries form
an attractive part of some travelling
shows, and the tanners of wild beasts are
prominent among circus celebrities. Van
Amburgh, in answer TO a question put by
the Duke of Wellington, said that if he
ever felt afraid he should retire from
the wild-beast line" The greater num-
Der OF hons in this country were bred in
cages, and are more readily tanned than
those purchased in wild state. 1t is
said that the Sangers own lion which
is so tame that it is allowed to roam at
large IN their house like a cat. Lion
tanners must be strictly sober men.
Macomo, one of the most daring of the
fraternity, never drank any beverage
stronger than coffee. Many stories of
his exploits are told 10y showmen. One
OF the fines { tigers ever imported into
this country, and said to be the identical
beast that escaped from Jamrach's pos
session and killed boy before it was re-
captured, was purchased by Manders and
placed In cage with another tiger. The
two beasts soon began to fight, and were
engaged in furious conflict when Ma
como entered the cage, armed only with
whip, and attempted to separate them.
Both tigers Immediately turned their
fury on him, and severely lacerated him
with their sharp claws, but, covered with
blood as he was, he continued to belabor
them with the whip until they covered
before him, and knew him for their mas
ter. Like Van Amburgh and Crockett,
Macomo died natural death. Mccarthy,
the successor of Macomo, was less for
tunate. He was of Incorporate habits,
and turned his back upon the animals,
though cautioned not to do so. He died
a horrible death at Bolton, as some of
our readers may remember. The exhi-
bition of wild beasts is rarely very profit
able, so great are the expense and risk
but it appears that the animals will some
times render their keepers essential
service when in pecuniary difficulties.
A sheriffs officer was one day about to
arrest a debtor, when the man ran under
an elephants belly and took up safe
position on the other side. The officer,
trying to go behind, was prevented by a
sudden motion of the elephants hind
quarters he then tried to dive under the
animal, but the beast gave him slap
with his trunk. "I'll have you if / wait
here all day." said he, as he drew back
hastily. "You had better not wait till 1
unfasten this chain," said the elephant
keeper, pretending to do what he threat
ened, upon which the officer moved of
and the man escaped.

The Prophecy of an Indian Chef.

The presence in Washington of num-
Der of Indian chiefs reminds one of the
old and famous story of Washington and
the prophetic speech to him of an Indian
chief. 1t will be read with renewed in
terest now, and will serve to round q
period in some of the Centennial addresses.
In ITO Washington, then Colonel, was
accompanied 10y DIR. Craik and a large
party on an exploring expedition up the
Kanawha. One day, while in camp, the
party was visited by a company of Indi-
ans, and their interpreter advancing, said
that one of them was great sachem, and
commanded the Indians on the fall of
Braddock, sixteen years previous. He
was received by Washington, and after
the council fire was lighted he stood up
and addressed him as follows CT am
chief and ruler over many tribes. Ny
influence extends to the waters of the
great lakes and to the far blue mountains.
/ have travelled a long and weary path
that l might see the young warrior OF
the great battle. 1t was on the day that
the white mans blood mixed with the
streams of our forest that L first beheld
this chief. l called to my young men
and said, Mark yon tall and daring war
rior He is not of the red-coat tribe.

eled, which but him knew not how to
miss twas all in vain power mightier
far than we shielded him from all harm.
He cannot die in battle. am old, and
soon shall be gathered to the great coun-
Gil fire of my fathers in the land of shades,
but ere / go, there is something that
bids me speak in the voice of prophecy.
Listen The Great Spirit protects that
man and guides his destinies. He will
become the chief of nations, and peo-
yetunborn will hail him as the founder
of mighty empire %
When to this grand historical fact the
additional truth is added that Washing
ton never received the slightest wound
in battle, how forcibly are we reminded
that the Father of our country was under
the special protection OF heaven.
