The Cock Of a Silver Walk.

That popularity of climate or scenery,
or whatever it may be in its natural
surroundings which makes the Pacific
slope character sui generis, appears to
influence birds and beasts as well as men.
A rooster at Virginia City is Of quite as
original a type as any hero of Mark
Twain's sketches or Bret Harte's ro-
mances. The rooster mentioned has
lately turned his attention to the study
of machinery and may always be found
in the amalgamating room of the Consol-
idated Virginia mill. When they were
building the mill the rooster was always
about and was fed and petted by the
workmen, and as soon as the works were
completed he took up his abode amidst
the machinery. He was carried away
lest he should get hurt but returned and
demonstrated his ability to take care of
himself Recently the machinery got
out Of order and the rooster was carried
into the engine room, but would not rest
until back where the matchmaking was
going on. Every morning he rouscs the
hands by his clarion, and marches about
constantly to see that plenty of silver is
coming out Of the ore. The men assert
that when he crows he says: Zone
million five hundred thousand dollars
this month surep The impression is
that the bird brings good fortune to the
mill, and he could not now be purchased
ut any price below fortune. IL there
Is such thing as metempsychosis, the
body of that Virginia City rooster no
doubt contains the soul of some man
whose love for the almighty dollar
amounted TO passion.

Consanguineous Marriages.

The work Of Ribot on " Heredity has
been translated from the French, and
published in London. This author takes
the view in regard to consanguineous
marriages that as the tendency of her
edity isto reproduce the whole being of
the parent, such marriages will not be
harmful if the parents enjoy perfect
health. But II the parents have morbid
predisposition of similar kind, and such
predispositions, if present, would likely
to be similar in persons nearly related by
blood, the result upon the offspring will
be the production of an intensified dis.
position of this sort. He therefore agrees
with Quatrefagcs in thinking that the
union of blood relations is not necessa-
rily hurtful, but it often becomes so, and
should on that account be avoided. Like
all writer's on the subject, he perceives
the possibility of improving. the human
race by proper selection of parents but
like all Others, too, he cannot imagine a
way to bring it about.-The GALAXY.

BETTER THAN GOLD. We often hear
little boys telling of the wonders they
will do when they grow to be men. They
are looking and longing for the time when
they will be large enough to carry cane
and wear tall hat; and not one of them
will say he expects to be a poor man but
every one expects to be rich. Now,
money is very good in its place; but let
me tell you, little boys, what is a great
deal better than money, and what you
may be earning all the time you are wait
ing to grow large enough to earn for
tune. The Bible says ga good name is
rather to be chosen that great riches and
loving favor rather than silver or gold"
A good name does not mean for being the
richest man in town or for owning the
largest house. A good name is name
for doing good deeds name for wearing
a pleasant face and carrying cheerful
heart; and for always doing right, no
matter where we may be.

A Locomotive with Legs.

At the sitting of the Academy OF
Sciences on Tuesday, M. Tresca exhibited
model of a locomotive engine now being
tried on the Eastern Railway. This en-.
CINE has no wheels, but what may be
called legs. 1t does not roll. 1t walks,
runs, or gallops. 1t is like an ordinary
railway engine with straight rods termin-
ating in broad circular skates. There
are three legs in front and three behind.
The moving cylinders, instead of turn.
ing wheels, raise the feet, and the whole
acts something after the fashion of a
three-legged horse. This invention is
especially adapted to carrying great
weights up an incline. The engine at
work on the Eastern Railway weighs
ten tons, and goes seven or eight kilOme-
tres an hour, and can accomplish if de-
sired twenty kilometres. Of course this
style of locomotive is not likely to dis
place the one now in use, but it is espe-
cially applicable to mountain railways,
and is step in a new direction. The
model exhibited at the Academy OF
Sciences assembled an incline of twenty
five degrees with ease.-Clereland Trade

DiDsOnania.

A case was brought to the hearing of
the Common Pleas Court of Cincinnati
last week involving the consideration of
the sanity of a woman who applied for
release from an asylum where she had
been committed for dipsomania. A
number of physicians were called upon
to submit their testimony as experts,
and of course were required to give their
opinion regarding the character of the
disease, and to define its causes One
medical gentleman testified that there
was no certainty of person once adj
dicted to drink ever being cured. 1t
was a periodical thing. Some persons
could control themselves for greater
or less time, and then they would fall
back TO where they were before. The cf-
feet of drinking upon the brain was to
overflow it, 80 to speak. When persons
become sober they may be free from the
insane effects which the liquor produced,
but they did not necessarily recover from
the dipsomania-the inordinate desire
for drink. Another doctor said that
there were some who did not recognize
dipsomania as disease, and others who
did. He was one who did. The mere
fact that some persons drink too much
did not imply that they were afflicted
with dipsomania. The disease was
characterized by periodical returns of an
irresistible desire for liquor, so much so
that If a glass of liquor with poison in it
was set before party afflicted with it,
and he was aware that poison was in the
glass, he would drink it. The difference
between dipsomania and the delirium
tremens seems, therefore, to be that the
former is delirious and inordinate de-
sire for the liquor, while the latter is the
delirium that ensues, and causes the
sufferer to imagine that he is beset by
the torrents of the damned" Whether
crooked" whisky is more conducive
to mental arrangement than that which
has paid the revenue tax was not ex-
planned. -Louisritle C0urier-Jownai

VINEGAR BITTERs.--The great merit
of VINEGAR B!TTERs has made them the
leading medicine of the day, and re-
spectacle druggists everywhere write :
" They are the best and most popular prep
aration IN the market" They have stood
the test of public opinion and won con-
fidence. They sell rapidly because they
cure. IF you arc sick you want reliable
medicine. VINEGAR BrTTERs commend
themselves to the ailing and afflicted, as
they are deficient in one thing alone, viz !:
the stimulant that unduly excites the
brain, and creates a morbid thirst for
spirits There is no phase of Indiges-
tion,. Biliousness, Nervous Diseases, 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 ex.
hilarating as cool, gushing spring Of
water to the parched and fainting trav.

The Markets.

Buyers of wool are to be found looking around
with the attendance occasionally large enough to
business, but disappointment generally follows and
the few invoices taken quite small and simply
to cover mOmcntary necessities. Nominaly the
range Of values remains about the for week
or two past but IL would be useless to attempt Civ
ing close quotations at present. The cost varies
cording TO TERMS quantity, etc., with tendency to-
ward customers. There does not appear to be much
interest shown yet in the new clip. Dealers look
upon the rates asked in the interior altogether too
high, and unwarrantcd by the general outlook, and
seem determined to hold off until producers are in
clined to negotiate on somewhat more favorable
terms. Foreign woods are only moderately active,
but at the concessions already granted tho nclina-
ton as rule is to display little steadiness
especially the English markets such TO adj

ORANGE FLOWER LozENGEs FOR

and cut it in small squares.
IRISH moss has been suggested as sub

OF she went, but Mr.. Fox,
Hiding, saw her pass
Soon, like snow, her feathers
Covered all the grass.
So she was at supper
Ere the sun did sink,
Cause she was so headstrong
That she didn't think!
Once there was a robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the floor.

Now, my little children,
You who read this song,
Don't you see what trouble
Comes of thinking wrong?
And can't you take a warning
From their dreadful fate
Who began their thinking
When IL was too late
Don't think there's always safety
Where no danger shows;
Don't suppose you know more
Than any body knows;
But when you're warned OF ruin,
Pause upon the brink;
And don't go over headlong,
Cause you didn't think.

Touching the spring the wire reddens
sufficiently to light cigar. At will, you

Household Helps.

ORANGES PRESERVED IN SLICES.-Re.
move the peel from three dozen oranges
and cut in slicesa quarter of an inch in
thickness, taking out the seeds. Take
their weight in loaf sugar, and make it
into a clear syrup with boiling water.
Then put in n sew slices of the oranges ut
time, and boil them for ten minutes.
Skim out into glass jars, and when all of
them are cooked, turn i'm the boiling
syrup. If a silver spoon is put into glass
jars before the preserves, they can be
turned in while boiling hot without
cracking the glass.
SIMPLE VENTILATIoN.-The following
simple method for ventilating ordinary
sleeping and dwelling rooms is recon-
mended by Mr.. Hinton in his "Physiol-
ogy for Practical Use:" A piece of
wood, three inches high and exactly as
long as the breadth of the window, is to
be prepared. Let the sash be now raised,
the slip of wood placed on the sill, and
the sash drawn closely upon it. If the
slip has been we'll fitted, there will be no
draught in consequence of this displace-
ment of the sash at its lower part; but
the top of the lower sash will overlap the
bottom of the upper one, and between
the two bars perpendicular currents of
air, not felt as draught, will enter and
leave the room.
