To THE SUFFER1NG.-An old retired
physician, who is candid enough to tell
the truth about progress, has declared
that the recent discovery by DR.
WALKER, of California, of his herb
remedy, VINEGAR BITTERs, is one of the
most important in medicine. He has
tested them thoroughly, in his own
family, among his friends, and upon
himself; and he is driven to the con-
clusion that they possess rare and IN
excelled curative properties. He says
Of them: '.They contain no dangerous
drug. They never reduce the patient
never render one liable to take cold
never interfere with the every day bust
ness of life-never make their contlnu-
GUS use condition Of cure, and are
adapted to even the most delicate or
ganiz=tion. They act as kindly on the
tender infant, the delicate female, or in
firm old age, as on the vigorous and
athletic system; exercising healthful
effects upon every blood vessel-on the
brain, nerves and lymphatics-on the
Blood. Bile, Gastric Juice, ETC., en-
riching impoverished fluids, and impart-
ing ylGor to mind and body-Com.

Execution of an Innocent Girl.

The French Minister Of Justice has
just received report of a very sad and
extraordinary affair, which is not I'M
likely to create some sensation. Thirty
years ago a young lady named Marie
Guernic was found poisoned in her bed.
She had been betrothed a short time
before to young man, with whom her
younger sister Madeline was aid to be
desperately in love. The poor girl was
at once arrested, tried, and finally con-
demned to death, which she suffered
calmy and valiantly, without uttering a
word Of complaint or of Justification
Everybody felt tie greatest sympathy
for the poor old father of the two girls,
who was giving signs of the most vio-
lent grief. He had come into posses
sion Of some money which the girls had
inherited from their mother, but his
grief did not seem to be lessened
thereby. A fortnight ago the old man
died, and before his death confessed to
his parish priest, the Rev. Able Bar
reau, that he was himself the murderer
of his eldest daughter. He had, more
over, allowed suspicion to rest on the
younger In order to inherit the money
of both. The poor victim had died IN
nocent, without uttering a word in her
defense, because she knew who was the
murderer, and rather chose to die than
to denounce him to Justice.

A Thief ImpersOnates a Ghost.

In little village in France dwells a
good dame named Leremois, who
believes firmly in ghosts, and in all the
cid superstitious notions. The other
night, hearing a loud noise at her door,
she descended and found herself in the
presence of a ghost clad in white and
crowned with circle of gold. "Jesus.
Mon Dieu, stammered the poor woman.
None of your nonsense" CURLY re-
piled the phantom. 81 am the King of
the Moon, which will forthwith appear.
Notwithstanding the bad weather,
and in order to make room for his
beamsshe mustimmediately repair to the
cellar, 600 and quick about it, cried
the ghost. Trembling with terror,
Madame Leremois hurried down into
her cellar In which the phantom locked
her up at once. On the following morn
ing the house was found completely
ransacked and plundered. The ghost,
whose name was Levasseur, was arrest
ed in a wine shop, where he was found
slightly inebriated.

Peculiar Fact in the History Of Rabies.

Though the sight of dog almost
always changes the passive state of by
drophobia III any animal 20 the active,
raging condition, there is one recorded
fact which points to the probability
that an animal afflicted with thisidisease
is thrown into q violent state at sight of
an individual belonging to the particu-
lar species from which the poison was
received. A horse inoculated with the
rabies obtained from sheep, and ex-
hibiting the terrible Symptom of the
malady, showed 40 disquietude what
ever at sight of dog. When one was
thrown to him he pushed it away with
his nose, but sheep being placed in
the same Enclosure, he became frantic,
and in a dreadful paro1ys1n of rage he
seized it and killed it with one move
ment Of his powerful jaws This case
is in direct opposition to the usual
course Of things, for which animals
suffering from rabies have in all other
known instances been excited to mad
ness whenever a dog showed himself.
1t may be that the consistency of this
phenomenon is due only to the fact
that the incubation is almost always
inflicted by dog" scientific liscez-
lang, IN The GALAXY for February.

THE POST AND MAIL"

It Was rumored On the street last evening thai
during the day the Post and NnI had changed
hands, or at least that Messrs. Taylor and VIII
lard had disposed OF their interest in the estab-
1ish1nent. Subsequent inquiry proved that the re-
port was not without good foundation, and that
the negotiations which had been understood aH
pending for itB sale for somo time had been per-
{ecsed, A. ". Edwards, Secretary OF tho Protec-
ton Life Insurance Company, OF thus city, be-
coming the purchaser, the price paid being only
slightly in excess Of the value Of the Associated
Press franchises it enjoyed.
For some time tho Post had been reckoned as
undesirable property, and the consolfda-
tion with tho Aai1 which WIS con-
trolled by Taylor, and the subsequent chango
OF management. it appears proved Of very little
advantage, OF At least failed to put the joint con-
cern upon paying and proftable basis After

WAS constantly drawing from his surplus capital
for it's support without any prospect Of any re-
turns. Its sale was finally the last resort, which
Was arranged for yesterday as stated above, but
up to last evening no money had changed hands.
It is understood that the purchaser is backed
by persons interested in the Fidelity Savings
Bank and the Protection Life Insurance Compa-
NJ, but whether either Of these establishments
hsd an actual interest in the purchase could not
be ascert2ined.
