MODERN MEDICAL DIsCovERY-It is
claimed that disease, with few excep-
tons, has been conquered by the research
and intellect of enlightened men; and
yet noted professor of New York adj
mits that, "of all sciences, medicine is the
most uncertain" and that thousands
are annually slaughtered in the sick
room" Certain "schools" of medicine
are in existence, one ofwhich "makes the
patient i'll" in order to claim cure, and
another administers sugar-coated bread
pills." relying upon nature to effect her
own cures. DIR. J. WALKER, of Califor-
MIA, an old and respected physician, tried
both modes of treatment and both failed.
He then appealed to natures curative
herbs and now enjoys rugged health.
He has given the benefit of his discovery
to the world, in the shape of VINEGAR
BITTERs, and since its introduction has
sold quantity almost large enough to
make a small harbor, or to tic the
"Great Eastern" Its curative proper
ties are attested by grateful thousands. 81

j. A curious geographical problem

"A curious geographical problem is
suggested by the appearance at the
mouth of the Seine, near Havre, in the
course of the present month, of one of
the hermeticall y-scaled bottles in wooden
cases which were thrown over board du-
ring Prince Napolcon's North Polar ex-
petition in 1860 Wooden covered bot
ties of this kind were thrown into the sea
daily in the month of June of that year
from the princes ship, in the expectation
that the course taken would lead to the
elucidation of the direction of the greater
oceanic currents, but during the fourteen
and half years that have interviewed
since then none of these bottles have
been seen till the present one was washed
ashore. Its appearance at the mouth of
the Seine seems to Indicate that polar
current must be borne into the German
ocean. and must be carried thence
through the channel to the western coasts
of France,

A Ghost Worth Haring Around.

The Bridgeport Conn., Farmer says
that city possesses a wonderful malcrlall-
zine medium. The story is as follows:
at was only q few weeks ago that the
person to whom VIC refer became con-
scious of his peculiar powers, but since
the discovery he has continued to eXcr-
else them and they have rapidly deveI-
oped. Thus far the seances have been
held in the presence OF q small party OF
his acquaintance, in darkcncd room
which, with the exception of a small
table, is utterly destitute of furniture.
No believer in Spiritualism has yet at
tended these sittings, so that it can not
be said that any of audience were un-
duly prepared to give credence to the
genuineness of the manifestations, and
yet all of the spectators with whom we
have conversed are convinced that there
was no collusion or trickery in the effects
produced. One of the remarkable feats
performed by the spirits is the bringing
upon the table supply of fresh, tropiiccai
flowers. The flowers exhale beautiful
fragrance, are fresh with dew, and OF va
rieties which can not be procured in this
vicinity. The members of the circle the
other evening were also regalcd with
splendid cigars dropped upon the table
by spirit visitors, and the medium HIM
self was refreshed day or two ago with
plate of ice cream furnished by the
same mysterious agency. The medium
can also materialize the spirits so that
they become visible to those in the room.
The spirits also play on musical instru-
ments, and write messages on the wall
and table, which to the ordinary observ-
ers are mere hieroglyphics, but to the
spiritual vision of the medium are really
Ineligible. This is only small part of
what we are assured has been accom-
plished, but it serves to indicate the mar
velous character of the whole. We do
not pretend to relate the above as facts,
or expect that they will receive general
credence, but are perfectly convinced OF
the honesty of intention and good faith
of our informants. The medium is a
tailor by occupation, and, it's said, could
not accomplish the feats mentioned by
sleight of hand, even if desirous of so
doing. He is only twenty-five years OF
age, and his associates and his employer
say he is perfectly frank and honest.
He was never previously interested in
Spiritualism, and found out his capabili-
ties only by accident. He decidedly OBJ
iects to notoriety, and does not intend to
give any public exhibitions, and says he
soon intends to relinquish all intercourse
with the spirit world"

THE COMMON SCHOOL.

The common school, the common school,
We sing it's praise forever;
Oh not from its ennobling rule
Can our affections sever.
How memory hallowS every hour
Along its tiowery mazes,
And conSecrateS anew each power
Of thought to sing its praises.
Some learn meath academic rule,
And some in college classes,
But, still, our blessed common school
Will educate the masses.
Here youthful heroes win their name,
Here statesmen learn their letters,
And many laurelled son of fame
10 common schools are Debtors
Beside the way the school-room stands,
It's favors broadcast sowing;
The children come in rosy bands,
To gather. what she's strewing.
Dear little people, free from care,
Their we'll learned lessons saying,
With pleasant music fill the air,
Like busy bees Maying-
The common school, a holy charm
On all its scenes reposes;
Here wisdom stands with open palm,
TO crown US with her roses.
Here mind is might, nor can you buy
Diplomas here with dollars;
The marks of true distinction lie
In being earnest scholars.
The common school, Oh let its light
Shine through the country's story;,
Here lies her wealth, her strength, her
might,
Here rests her future glory.
The past living witness stands
On all this truth impressing,
Tho common school is to our land
A source of countless blessing.
While rallying round the Flag, we ring
Loud peans to our banner;
For common schools, Oh let us sing
One deep, heartfelt hosanna.
For what would Flag or Country be
To all our sons and daughters,
If learning's font were sealed, and we
Might never quaff it's waters?
Far as our starry banner flies,
Repeating freedoms story,
Oh! bid the common school arise,
A benison of glory.
The common school our hope shall be
On this and truth relying,
Well onward march, the brave and free,
With all our colors flying.
