ACEDITY OF THE STOMACH.

Acidity of stomach always arises from
that organ not being able to digest, to
work up the food eaten, to extract the
nutriment it contains, hence, two results
First, the food decays, that is, rots, be-
comes sour and generates n sour gas,
which is belched up causing a burning or
raw sensation, located apparently Mt the
little hollow at the bottom of the neck, or
in that vicinity. Sometimes mn acid fluid
is generated and is belched up, and is so
very sour occasionally rs to take the skin
off some parts of the throat, mouth ar
lips. Second, the food not being pop
erly worked up, does not give out its
nourishment, the system is not fed, and
consequently becomes weak, the circu-
lation becomes feeble. the feet grow ha-
bitually cold the person is easily chilled,
and breads going cut of doors is h ppi-
est when hugging fire, and takes co d
SO easily that the expression is frequent y
used, the least thing in the world gives
me II cold" When such condition is
reached these colds are SO frequently re-
peatcd that before one is cured another
comes, and there is n perpetual cough
which the most unintelligent know is the
certain harbinger, the forerunner of con-
sumption of the lungs.
When persons are troubled with inli-
geston, and one of its effects, acidity, tho
advice given in nearly all cases is to take
something to correct the acidity, sIch as
cream OF tartar, soda, saleratus, the ley of
wood ashes, and other alknlies. These
things correct the acidity, but the stom-
ach gets no power of better digestion,
the effects MS far rs better sensation AFRO
concerned are removed, but the system
continues to be improperly nourishcd
the man grows thinner and weaker; and
is diminished power of circulation tho
person becomes chilly, colds are taken
from slight causes and at diminishing in
tervas, and before he knows it he has an
annoying, hacking cough, which too Oft
en- ends in II wasting, fatal disease.
When acidity follows eating, it is be-
cause there has been an error in the guam
tity or quality of the food eaten; tho
stomach could not manage it, could not
perform the work imposed upon it.. The
true remedy is to eat loss and loss ut each
meal, until no ncidity is perceptible or
to change the quality Of the food and in
"A short time the stomach, not being over
ta.ked, gets time to rest, to rocuperatc,
to get strong; then it digcsts moro food
and digcsts it better with the inevitable re-
suit OF II more vigorous constitution, moro
power more strength of body and great
er elasticity Of mind, more happiness and
n spirit and energy to grapple with liies
duties, which make existence pleasure.

THE ANTS INSTINCT. i sailed from
Philadelphia in the Winter of 1859. Al
ter being at sea some days, | discovered
that we had on board large number Of
ants and cockroaches. Going into the
cabin one evening, our colored steward
said to me, "Cap'n, jess look heah." He
was standing in the pantry door, with II
lamp in his hand. On looking into the
pantry, discovered on the lower shelf II
number OF large black ants in II huddle,
and Il half dozen by themselves, and on
the opposite side Of the shelf was some
sugar, which the ants did not seem to no
tice, which caused me to wonder; the
reason, however, soon became apparent.
A cockroach soon made his appearance
and went Tor the sugar, and The group OF
ants went for him ; and before .he got n
taste, they had him down and killed Inn
in less than II minute. Then the six that
stood apart from the rest, advanced, took
up the dead cocliroach and bore him from
the field. The others remained on the
watch and as soon as another approached
they all pitched in, and made short work
rs before. In the meantime, the pail
bearers returned and took this one off the
field as they had done the other. l kept
watch till this had been enacted half "A
dozen times and it was done rs regularly
as it could have been done by men. The
ants kept on killing the cockroaches until
they had entirely cleared them out, which
took but short time.

FENCING OUT A TRAIN.-There Is n
farmer near Carcyville, Tennessee, who
is the champion absent minded man. Ile
has been very much bothered about his
sheep lately, and it was in seeking to get
rid Of this annoyance that he showed his
observation-disclosures The Knoxville and
Ohio Railroad passes through his farm,
and the sheep have, on several occasions,
ventured on the track just Ms the trnin
was going through the result being
startling rise in mutton and diminution
in the mum Der of his flock. The farmer
saw with gfiefthe frequent occurrence ald
resolved at least TO curtail the wanderings
of his sheep, if they could DO kept from
passing out over the rond from II certain
pasture. To secure this end he conceived
the happy idea Of constructing gats
the farmer rested content. The only fault
in this plaza arose from the fact that he
absent mindcdIy forgot 10 make provision
for the passage of the train along the
{ TOau. VII intervening 81 th' dhJ oh WHICH
the gate was erected the train came along
~ usual, going Mt n tremendous speed.
Close upon the gate the engineer saw the
obstacle, but too late for any good. The
whistle had barely screamed down
4 brake" when the locomotive struck the
farmers days work. 1t rained splintsrs
for few moments following the smash,
and ,he engineer and fireman lodged, but
TINT was all there was Of the affair. When
the farmer fonud his sheep out Of the field
next day, and examined the place where
the gate was, the situation dawned upon
him. He is not, as yet, reported TO have
devised remedy for his trouble with the
sheep.

A MUCH ABUSED HUsBAND.-A stout
old lady named Mrs. Anne Connolly was
convicted in the Police Court this morn
ing OF an assault on her husband, Mike.
The latter is Mrs. Connolly's second
choice, and, to use the unhappy man s
words on the witness stand "If her
first partner had as rough time rs the
second, it's no wonder he's dead" Mi
chael does not now rest under the shad-
ow of his wiie's roof. He lett his bed and
board the other day. While engaged in
friendly game of cards with an en-
ployee hi pugii-tic passions were arous-
ed, and started in to whip his antagonist.
The male members of the family at
tsmpted to make peace, and repented
their rashness when the old man flung
them around carelessly and stamped up
on them. Elated by success he finally
tried his hand on the old woman, and
soon after he was observed making bee
line from the house with stout old lady
waving him graceful adieu with stew
pan. Since that time he has carefully
avoided the family domicilc.

FoHI AND NoAH.-It is believed by
some scholars that Fohi, the first king Of
China, and Noah are identical. The
Chinese themselves claim that Fohi was
no father; aud Noah, although subsequent
to the food, the great progenitor of the
race, was himself ut the time iatherless.
The mother Of Fohi is said to have borne
him encompassed with II rainbow- an
evident allusion to the bow Of promise,
revealed 10 Noah as the sign Of Gods
covenant. Fohi is represented to have
reared seven kinds of creatures which he
sacrificed to the Great Supreme. Noah
also took into the ark clean beasts and
fowls by sevens, which he offered TO the
God Of heaven as burnt offerings. Fohi
is represented as drawing off the waters
which had deluged the earth, thus ident-
flying him with the food.

POISONOUS GUM BOOTS.

A correspondent of the Oroville, Butte
county, Mercury makes very serious
charge, and one of such Importance to a
large class of citizens, that we consider it
Il duty to direct general attention 20 it.
He states that the gum boots so univers-
ally worn by the gravel miners of this
State have been latterly lined with green
flannel, the dye of which is unquestion-
ably arsenicated and which has poisoned
many persons, some fatally. Tits ut once
apparent that if poison turks in the flannel
with which these boots are lined, no
quicker method of imparting it to human
beings could be found for, while gum
boots cause profuse perspiration, they
keep it all in and thus whatever deleteri.
Gus substance is in the flannel, must be
actually soaked into the pores of the skin.
The MercUry'S correspondent, however,
gives specific instance of this kind of
poisoning, stating that Mr.. McKlary who
lives on Canes creek, near Enterprise.
has been suffering for several months from
the use OF these arsenicated boots, and
that but for II skilllul physician and Mt
tentive wife, he would have died. He
under treatment in this neighborhood-
South Fork Feather river-and number
gone to the hospitals, trying to find better
care than in their lonely cabins" This
account is given Of the appearance of the
disease occasoned by wearing the poison
ed boots 1.-THE first symptoms are the
swelling of the lower extremties to two
or three times the usual size and then the
flesh turns black. The suffering of the
patient is terrible, under n constant burn
ing sensation till death relieves him." 1t
is stated that the complaint is almostuni-
versal wherever the green lined boots are
used, and reference Is made to II company
of Chinese, among whom several deaths
occurred last year, attributed to an cpl
demic then, but since traced Ia the boots.
We presume the Mercury'S core pond-
cnt hits the mark in suggesting that some
|
duccd IA cheap and nasty material for boot
Innings to increase the margin of profits,
and to conceal the worthless character Of
the fabric, has employed this brilliant
green dye, ignorant or careless of the con
sequences. 1t would seem that there
should be remedy in law against the
manufacturer in this case, and we advise
those who have survived the poisoning to
take legal opinion on the matter. Mean
time the press will do well to spread the
warning against green.lined gum boots,
and thus prevent the diminution Of the
mining population. 1t is said that the
poisonous boots come from Connecticut,
and it would seem, therefore, that the
people Of that State stand in need OF green
laws as well as blue. Rec0rd- UntOW.

How THEY Do IT IN TEXAs.-The
the boldcst and most daring attempts to
rescue II prisoner from the officers of the
law took place yesterday morning between
s and 8 o'clock at Palmer, a station on the
Texas Central Road, in Ellis county,
about twenty-seven miles from this city.
From Major James +. Barkey, the re
porter has been furnished the following
particulars As the train neared the sta
ton he noticed several men standing on
the platform, but suspicioned nothing out
of the way, thinking they were only IL
party of country fellows looking at the
train, ms is frequently seen. As soon as
the train stopped, one of the men walked
up to the locomotive, and leveling dou-
Bile barreled shotgun at the engineer, or
dered him not to move the train on pain
of death. Two or three other men, with
two women, led by deputy Sheriff OF
Ellis county, named Vester, then went
up to the platform of one of the cars, and
tried to obtain entrance, but were denied
by brakeman, who stood ut the door.
Drawing revolver, Vester ordered him
to stand aside, remarking: "Open that
door we're all right" Resistance being
useless, the brakesman stepped aside and
the party entered the ear, where was Sit
ting j. w. Herrin, deputy Sheriff of Smith
county, in charge Of a man named Fors-
ton who had been ARE sted in Ellis county
and was being taken to Smith county to
answer to II charge OF murder committed
in that county some time ago. The par
ty demanded the prisoner from the officer
and rs he was unable to resist, he turned
him over to the mob who assisted him to
the door of the car, and placed him on a
horse which was in waiting for him, and
rode rapidly away. The whole affair oc-
Cured so quickly and suddenly that it was
some minutes before the passengers real
lied what had taken place.

The PIG.-This animal was thus writ
ten up by II Georgia boy, whose compost
ton was published in the local paper and
was MS follows: 1.-The pig is about rs
big us sheep, only n pigs wool isn't
good for making stockings Of. Why is II
pig like a tree ? Because he roots /; that
is II conundrum. A pig washes himself
in the mud. A pig has four legs one
under each corner Of his body. They
pickle pigs feet, but not until after the
pig is done using em. A pig squeals aw-
fu when it rains, also when you pull its
tail. A pig has got frst-rate voice for
squealing, and it grunts when it feels
good. You can't make whistle Of
pigs tail, eos it's crooked. Why is a
pig like Tommy Grant? Cos hos got
his nose in everybody's business. This
is anoth er conundrum, which is all l
know about the pig.

greed for gold and wonderful lust for

THE OLDEST SECT. M. d. Conway
writes from London to the Cincinnati
Commercial ~ have just obtained.
through a Welsh friend, few items CON
corning a mysterious sect in the south of
Wales, concerning which no record what
ever exists, but which | believe to be the
very last remnant of the ancient Druidic
religion. The people belonging to the
little sect are few and poor they dwell
scattered in the hills in the neighborhood
OF Pontypridd. They gather together
only twice in every year-on the Summer
and the Winter sostice. They then as
cend a mountain called Eglwysiian.-
This mountains name seems derived
from EgiWyS French, EgiiSe) church,
and Han, a height; but the mysterious
reigioniSts say that the latter word Udn,
is the name of their founder. The mount
ain is connected with antiquity by having
on its top holy (rocking) stone and near
its base the remains of an old (so-called)
Drudic temple, circular, but with long
sinuous line of stones, such as are thought
by some a relct of serpent worship. An
eccentric pc rson named Price, in the
neigh borhood, was induced by the rem
nant of the old religion surviving in him
self to repair the old serpent temple
When these brethren assembled at the
mountains base at the solstice, they were
headed by an aged man who bears in his
hand long wand. At the top Of this
wand is Il small sphere with three prongs
like diverging rays, issuing from one side
of it. My informant asked one of the
so>tials what was the meaning Of this
| sphere and its three prOngs. He replied
that the sphere was the sphere" and
MS for the three prongs, "you will find
three in everything" he said, in leaves
and trees particularly" The pilgrims
march silently after their aged leader
with the wand up the mountain, and when
they arrive there he breaches to them Il
strange sort of mixture of mateIalism and
felshism. The leader Of this sect-which
uses no Christian form, symbol or phrase
My Welsh friend did his best to discover
why he was not liked, but all admit, d
that they knew nothing against him, only
he was good tof-nothing kind of II
fellow" His followers appear to look
upon him with great reverence"

SUCH is LIFE.-A lover of his race has
a bit of information for sentimental young

his night-shirt of hot Summer eve with
squaling infant dangling over his back.

and stoops to such commonplace express
sions as John Camdre, be careful how
