Milk as a Food.

Pure milk contains all the elements
that constitute the living organism, and
it may therefore be regarded as a typical
alimentary substance. 1t is the only
article of diet upon which a human
being can, for any considerable length
of time, maintain healthy subsistence.
In it's composition milk is so like blood
that it may be injected into the veins,
not only without injury, but, if we may
credit certain authorities, in cases of
exhausting hemorrhage and of collapse
from cholera. with positive hfe-savIng
advantage. It is, however -eminently
adapted to the support of infancy and
childhood, and is good for food in
maturer years only as the man has a
physical constitution in common with
the child. The building up of the
sturdy form of manhood requires certain
nutritive elements in greater proportion
than they exist in milk. 1t therefore
becomes necessary to add other articles
to the diet of the later years of child
hood and more mature life. But milk,
furnishing as it does cream, butter,
aud various adjuvants in the cooking
and pr, paration of other articles of
diet, constitutes for all ages a very i'm
portant part of the food of mankind.
When pure and good it is, for all who
have an appetite for it, most nutrI-
tons and healthy food.

DR. WALKER tried various extracts
from herbs and roots, without benefit
He noticed, however, that AIcOhOI, that
bane of the human race, was used in
their preparation, and he determined to
exclude the poison entirely from his
own practice, so that the sin of making
men drunkards, while pretending to
cure them, should never lie at his door.
The Almighty blessed his experiments,
and in the Vinegar Bitters he has pro-
duced a pure, health-restOring agent,
which banishes disease in every form,
re-invigorates the system, and restores
strength to the feeblest sufferer. There
is no part of life's citadel where the en-
envy can make a Judgment, that the
Vinegar Bitters will not find him, and
put him to the rout. In1Durity Of blood,
is the parent of disease; the liver, the
stomach, the lungs, the nerves, every vi
tai organ is affected primarily, from this
cause, and IN this direction the Vinegar
Bitters acts with magical influence.

Catholic Brides.

A New York correspondent of the
Buffalo Commercial Advertiser writes
The number of Protestant young ladies
of elevated social position who have
voluntarily embraced the Roman Gath
Ole religion of late in marrying has
created considerable comment, and
given life to a sort of gentee1 slang,
expressed in two Words Catholic
brides" There have been Tuany stories
told of determined oaughters and heart
broken mothers and fathers, aud the
stories were not without their effect.
Since Easter four New York ladies have
become Catholics in order to become
wives and Colonel Smith, who married
a daughter of the late Horace Greeley
on SATURDAY., became O member of the
Church of Rome at the solicitation of
his f0nce. Then a niece of W. B. Aston
married a Catholic, so did Miss Apple
ton, daughter of the publisher; Miss
Niles, who married Consul General
Badeau last week and Miss Morgan,
who married a Spaniard. Love, they
say, is blind, and Cupid knows no re-
ligion. Nevertheless, these convert
marriages have caused the cornerstone
of society to shake perceptibly, and the
rejoicing among arohbishops and priests
is only surpassed by the chsgrin of
ministers and rectors.

Terrible Disaster at Sea.
Loss OF the Steamer ssSchiller' and over
Three Hundred Lives.

Another most fearful marine disas-
ter, causing the loss of hundreds Of
lives, occurred last week. The steamer
Schiller, of the New York and Ham
burg line. which sailed from New York
for Hamburg by way Of Plymouth.
England, and Cherbsurg, France, on
the 2Sth Of April, struck upon the
rocks off the Scilly Islands near the
mouth of the English Channel. on the
night Of the 7th inst, during dense
fog, and was completely wrecked. A
violent sea was running at the time the
vessel struck and great waves con-
stantly broke over the deck of the
doomed ship carrying away great num-
bers of helpless and struggling passen-
gers. The scene, as described by sur
vivors, was terrible in the extreme.
The heavy masts fell with crash car
rying scores Of hapless persons who
had taken to them for refuge to wa
terry grave. Captain Thomas. COM
manding officer Of the Schiller, is highly
commended by the survivors for his
excellent conduct during the whole
panic that followed the striking of the
steamer. He stuck manfully to his
post until washed overheard. Two
boats, filled with men, put off from the
ship, though Captain Thomas endeav-
ored to force their occupants to remain,
by firing his revolver, first over their
heads and then at them. These boats
were both swamped and all on them
perished. Three other boats got away
but one of them sank.
Passing vessels, and others which
FASTENED to the rescue when the disas-
ter became known picked up number
