The s.NATUR-THERAPIE," OR GRAPE
CURE.-Meran, in the Tyrol, has become
famous as the headquarters OF what IS
known as the Natur- therapie, or grape-cure,
and the medical journals contain long &C
counts of the mode Of life and dietary hab
it there pursued for various ailments. 1t
appears that invalids suffering from chest
ffection-bronchitis or consumption in its
pretubercular stage-are the chief sub
jects Of this grape treatment. Less than
three pounds of grapes a day is not
enough for efficiency. The patient begins
with one or two pounds per diem, dividing
the quantity into three portions-one taken
an hour before breakfast, the next before
dinner, which comes off between twelve and
one o'clock, and the last in the afternoon,
or evening The grapes are eaten SUD Jope
friqido, and after two or thee days the
quantity is increased by half pound, un-
til it reaches three or four pounds. This
amount often sufices the patient, who finds,
as rule, that he gains in weight and IN
strength also. Chronic liver complaints,
especially when due to excess in wine drink
ing, are, it is said, notably relieved by this
means, the potash salts in the fruit supply
ing the element which the wine loses in the
process of manufacture. Hepatic dropsy
has been known to be mitigated in this way
One special point mentioned in favor o
the sscure'' is this, that no exclusive diet II
particular is prescribed-indeed, the grapes
themselves become so satisfying that lndui
geuce in other food is hardly necessary

Italian invalids visit Meran.

THE WEDDING FEE.

BIZ Z. N. STREETER.
One morning fifty years ago,
When apple trees were white with sno"
Ut fragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spell bound with the perfume rare'
Upon farmhouse large and lean,
And lazy with its double load, .oon
. A snn- Drowned youth and maid were seen
jogging along the winding road
Blue were the arches Of the skies;
Rnt bluer were that maiden's eyes.
The dew drops on the grass were bright;
Rnt brighter was the loving light ,,,
That sparkled meath the long-frlnsed ld
Where those bright eyes of blue were hid.
Adown the shoulders, brown and pare
Rolled the soft waves of golden hair,
Where. almost strangled with the spray,
The sun, willing sufferer, lay.
It was the fairest sight, ween
That the young man had ever seen;
And with his features all aglow
The happy fellow told her so!
And she without the least surprise
Hooked on him with those heavenly eyes,
Saw unerneath that shade of tan
The handsome features Of man;
And with a JOY but rarely known
She drew that dear face to her own,
And by her bridal bonnet hid
| cannot tell you what she did
So, on they ride until among
The new born leaves Win ueW -u1oPo Ai"AS'

Peers out-a more than welcome sght.
Then with a cloud upon his face,
uWhat shall we do ?" he turned to say,
uShonld he refuse to take his pay
From what is in the pillow case ~
And CHANGING down his eyes surveyed
The pillow case before him lald
Whose contents reaching to its hem
Might purchase endless joy for them.
The maiden answers, "Let us wait.
To borrow trouble where's the reed z

The precious product of the farm,
She bears it through the open door

CHANGE IN The Color OF THE HAIR
It is stated that the transactions OF the
British Royal Society, extending over 200
wears, contain no instance of any sudden
change in the celor Of the human hair-a
circumstance regarded as conclusive that
no such change has ever occurred, for, had
it ever been undoubtedly witnessed, it is not
likely that it would have remained undes-
cribed The most eminent medical writer's
confess themselves unaware that, irrespec-
lively of recorded evidence, anything in
support Of the popular notion on this sub
ject can be adduced on physiological
grounds. 1t is well known that human
hair cannot be injected. Using coloring
fluid, such as solution of nitrate Of silver
and a solution Of iodine, does not produce
any change of color except in the portions
actually immersed. Whether it owes its col
or to a fixed oil, to a peculiar arrangement
of its constitutional molecules, or to both,
| it resists decay in remarkable manner; II
resists the action Of acids and alkalies, ex
cept the strongest, which Dissolve it = it re
sists maceration, and even boiling water un-
less for long time applied and under pres
sure, when it suffers disintegration and de-
composition. Exposure to the sun will
bleach hair, but this will not account for
any very sudden change Of color. The pop
ular notion, however, is in favor of the at
firmative of this question, and some natur
alists and Psychologists adduce what they
regard as credible instances of hair c',ang
ing to white OF gray in the case OF persons
under strong emotions Of grief or terror.

BISHOP WHITTAKER's SERMON
The School-housc was fairly packed
Sunday evening, on the occasion Of
the presence and sermon of Bishop
Whitaker, of the Episcopalian
Church, and we regret very much
that every man, woman and child
in Silver City was not present to
listen to his remarks. After the
reading of the usual lessons and
PRAYERS, he chose az his text and as
the basis Of the argument and in
struction Of the evening, one very
unusually chosen for the subject O.
religious discourse, but it proved
so fruitful Of good, sensible thought
and digestion that we could but won
doi that we had never heard it an
nounced from the pulpit before, and
it is with no less regret that we feel
our inability to place the words with
which it was treated before our read
crs: possess We your souls with
patience" y and from this as Il
..dwork, the good Bishop, in a
clear, comprehensive and musical
voice, drew lesson that for earnest
ness, practicability and logic, we
have never listened to its equal. We
care not to mar the beautiful SMILES,
sound arguments and logical deduc-
tons Of the distinguished minister,
by even attempting synopsis of the
sermon. The earnest, involuntary at
tention and appreciation throughout
plainly evidenced that the large con-
greg ton to soul were completely
unclaimed with respect and admira-
ton us the all but too brief sermon
was delivered, and the universal com
ment of How very short the sermon
wasp shows how deeply the hearers
were interested; and, yet, the sermon
alone occupied nearly forty minutes.
Wecongratulate our Episcopal friends
upon having so brilliant teacher TO
lead them, and the entire diocese
upon possessing the benefits of so
able man to build up "the king

DEAR TIMEs-Here is little joke
which / think is too good to be lost:
Jakey is shecp-herder, and he
tends his flocks amid the mantle
scenery of the nut-pine hills and on
the ailali plains adjacent to Kinds
Hot Srpings. But Jakey comes to
town sometimes, and then he revels
in all the alcoholic glories Of " sheep
herder's delight which makes the
beauties of his mind expand. Be-
fudlled ideas chase each other
through his head and he sees queer
things. On the occasion referred to,
while pursuing the "even tenor of
his way" between Silver City and
Dayton, he had al idea some one
told him to hold up his hands
lie almost held up his hair instead,
AM, striking spurs to his antedeiu-
Wan Rosilantr," he reached Day
ton in manner and in 50 short a time
as to renew his confidence iii the
powers of that illustrious stecd.
Reaching Shaw's hay yard, he called
ipuuiy inl t'oooS VA hiOli "iiu h'iSN'
to go back and look for the road
agent" Being politely told by the
man in charge to go to -, and
look for the Sheriff." he remarked
that he thought it was good idea,
and thither he went and stated his
story. There was mounting in shot
haste;" guns were resurrected and
horses saddled, and away sped our
modern Jonathan Wild and posse on
the wings of the wind" Arriving
within the precincts of the ancient
town of Silver City, the Sheriff re-
marked to Jakey: "How much
money was it you lost" 49," said
Jakey, 81 didn't lose any money; it
was my saddle blankets l lost; but
never mind, when we get back to
Dayton we'll have some beer" Our
Army in Flanders sometimes
swore, but it was totally eclipsed by
the utterances, loud and deep, that
rang out upon the still night air just
then. And now when any of the
boys ask the Sheriff if the man was
murdered and robbed, Bob says,
40, bother the man; lets take some
thing"

observation-disclosures unprincipled
scoundrel who inhabits Virginia
City, was on Saturday night guilty
of crime that for downright
meanness and cowardice is a little
ahead of anything we have here
tofoie been called upon to chron-
icle. 1t was no less than the dis
figuring and running of the mag
nificent show windows of Mr.
Fredricks, the jeweler, by cutting
them up with GLACIERS diamond
or diamond ring. We were look
ing at the windows on Sunday
morning, and could but feel per-
sonally out aged at the indecent
and dastardly crime that had been
perpetrated. Words of a character
not fit to put in print had been
written across each of the splendid
plate glass panes. and the surface
of each disfigured in every way
that pure devilishness could sug-
gest. Much time, talent and
money had been spent in their
ornamentation, and the damage to
them by this graceless scamp will
not cost less than $1,000 to repair.
1t is supposed that the crime was
committed in a spite against Mr..
Fredricks, as no one could certain
ly have otherwise conceived the
dastardly idea. There is general
indignation prevailing against the
perpetrator by the business men
and other good citizens Of the
town, and. if he can be detected, il
is probable that he will never have
another o. portunity to repeat his
fiendish outrage. We are opposed
to vigilance committees, as gen.
eral thing, but man who would
wilfully and maliciously perpetratt
such crime, should receive 10t
lashes on his bare back and be
banished from the town,

TABLE MOUNTAIN.
Its Legend, Situation, Present APP
pearance and Formation.

This mountain is situated but few
hundred yards from the main street
of Silver City, and occupies place
in the history of this section of the
country that may not generally be
fully understood. In early days,
when the country was but sparsely
inhabited by the red man, this place
was used as spot for the cremation
of the dead for many hundreds of
miles around. And many have been
the cries of the mourners that have
echoed through the rocks and hills
for miles around. There is also a
cave running into this mountain from
the south side, of unknown size, as it
has not as yet been wholly explored
by the whites. This cave is now
emitting a dense smoke and steam
from its mouth. sufficient to prevent
its exploration at the present writing.
There is a kind Of suffocating stencil
or odor in this smoke, unbcarable by
even leather-lunged individual. 1t
is now thought that the material that
is burning inside this cave is the fatty
substance that has run down through
the crevices of the rocks from the
human beings that have been Gre
mated on the table above, as the rocks
inside the cave seem to be covered
with substance resembling pitch.
The rocks inside the cave have now
become heated TO a great extent, al
though not molten. Rocks lying
around the mouth Of the cave are
covered with hiero2lyphics Of an
ancient type, and are supposed to
have been placed there by the hands
of the red man who inhabited this
country years ago, but which cannot
be deciphered by the present race.
While this mountain does not present
very imposing appearance from the
outlook Of Main street, when you
arrive at the top it is long level
plateau of rock for near half mile
in length and hundred yards in
breadth. The rock has the appear
ance Of having been in close prox-
unity to intense heat. Many persons
have visited this spot during the past
week, some expecting to see vol
cano in full bloom, but have, never
theless, went away satisfied with their
visit. This is the second time the
mountain has been on fire, as it
burned for several months year or
more ago. To the curious this will
afford an opportunity for many con-
lectures and scientific investigation.

AN IRON STEAMER FOR LAKE t.

AN IRON STEAMER FOR LAKE Ia
HoE.-By the beginning, or long be-
fore next years Tahoe season." the
present little wooden steam craft
which ply from port to port over the
beautiful waters of Nevada's fresh
ocean, will be put to blush by the
presence in the fleet of a splendid
steamer, built entirely of iron.
Messrs. Yerington & Bliss, the pro-
prietors, are now having the vessel
built in San Francisco, from whence
it will be shipped to the Lake in sec
tons and there put together and
launched. 1t is intended to be first
class in every respect, and will be
mainly used, we believe, in their lum-
Der and log business, though no
, doubt the owners will also convert
4 1t into passenger craft during the
tourist season. Years of practical
demonstration on the various lakes,
as well as the ocean, has proven that
for all purposes-speed, safety and
durability-the iron steamers are
really superior to the wooden vessels
of the same tonnage. We shall be
anxious to see the new craft, as her
ownership betokens something worth
looking at.
