There has recently been coas siderable discussion as

Scolding.

Scolding is mostly habit. There is not
much meaning to it. It is often the result
of nervousness and irritable condition of
both mind and body. A person is tired or
annoyed at some trivial cause, and forth
with commences finding fault with every
thing and everybody in reach. It is as
tonishing how soon one who INDUCES in
it at all becomes addicted to it and con-
firmed in it. Persons who once get in
the way of scolding always find some
thing to scold about. If there is moth
ing else, they fall to scolding at the
mere absence of anything to scold at.
It is extremely contagious. Once intro
duced into family, it is pretty certain
in short time, to affect all the men,
bers. People in the country more read
lily fall into the habit of scolding than
people in town. Women contract the
habit more frequently than men. This
may be because they live more constantly
in the house, in confined and heated
atmosphere, very trying to the nervous
system and the health in general; and it
may be, partly that their natures are
more susceptible and their sensitiveness
more easily wounded. The proper rem
edy for the habit, if formed, is to ex-
perience an endowment Of that divine
love shed abroad in the renewed heart by
the Holy Ghost, the characteristics Of
which are that it els not easily pro-
voked," thinketh no evil, and beareth
all things."

Loss of the Steamer Dante.

Another great maritime disaster has
occurred in St. Georges channel, involv-
ing loss Of no fewer than twenty-one
lives. The steamer Dante, owned by
Messrs. Clever Brothers, of London,
sailed from Liverpool ON voyage to
Bombay, with a crew Of twenty-seven
hands, all told, and two other persons,
who were either passengers or the doctor
and purser. She was under the command
Of Captain Buchanan, and her Liverpool
agents were Messrs. Stoddard Brothers,
Of Water street. About midnight she
had passed the Smalls, and was between
that point and the Tuskar light. The
watches were being changed, when the
red light of an approaching vessel was
seen approaching to starboard. The
night was dark and cloudy, and there
was strong breeze from the southwest,
with a good sea on. The helm of the
steamer was ported, but in a short time
she was run into by the vessel, which
proved to be the Norwegian bark, Grons-
vair, bound for Liverpool. The Dante
was struck amidships, on the port side
and such was the force Of the shock that
she sank seven minutes afterward. The
chief officer and three men clambered on
to the bows of the bark. and the others
were either carried down with the steam
er, or were left struggling in the water.
The second engineer was picked up four
hours afterwards, foatingon aspar. The
captain, chief engineer and fireman
were discovered clinging to life-boat Of
the Dante after eight hours immersion.
All these men were taken on board the
bark, which put out boats to search.
The survivors were brought to Liverpool.
The Gronsvais was injured but slightly,
having her cutwater and bows partially
stove in. Some of the survivors were
taken to the soldiers home, Liverpool,
where their wants were attended to.
The Dante was vessel of 1,743 tons, and
1890 horsepower, and was built in
1874 by J. Softly & Co. She was valued
at f35, 900 and the value of her cargo
was between eighty and one hundred
thousand pounds.

many signifies mere Qneroiis existencs, All

diseases peculiar to woman. Through her
own imprudenee and folly She is ihade to drag
out miserable existence--a source OF an.
noyance and anxiety to her friends, and any.
thing but comfort and pleasure to herself
Exposure to the cold at times when she
should be most prudent, and overtaxing her
hudy with laborious employment, are both
fruitful causes of many of the maladies from
which she suffers. Gradually the bloom
leaves her cheeks, her lips grow ashy white
her vivacity departs, she continually expe.
riences feeling of WEAKNESS and general
languor, and altogether presents a ghostly
appearance. What does she need? Should
she take some stimulating drug, which will
for the time make her '.teel better" or does
her entire system demand reparation? She
requires something which not only will re
store to health the diseased organs, but will
tone and invigorate the system. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription will do this. 1t i'm

Cameron's March Across Africa.

MADEIRA correspondence of the London
Telegraph gives further details respect
ing Lieut.. Cameron's expedition. The
gallant explorer, in traversing the
breadth of the entire continent, from
Zanzibar to Angola, met on the whole
with favorable reception from
the natives. He reached Benguella
on the 7th and Loandaon the 18th
Of November, with fifty-seven ease
coast men, all in good health. It
was Cameron's intention to remain at
Loanda until an opportunity arrived for
sending his men home around by the
Cape to the east coast. Of course, the
especial interest attaching to his mission
is the great question Of the connection of
the Congo with the great eastern lakes.
It appears that he followed large river
flowing out of Lake Tanganyika in a
southwester'y direction, tracing it
whole course till he came upon new
lake, which he named ssLiYin cstne,n
From this body of water a second large
river runs westward, which the lieuten-
ant, having traced it for considerable
part of its length, believes to be the
Congo. It world seem that he was una
BILE to continue along the river on &C
count Of meeting tribe of hostile ma
tives. He had to choose between fight
ing his way through these unfriendly
tribes, with the risk of losing all his
ournals and papers, or of taking differ
{ direction. The latter alternative

Swallowed in size and power by the in

for the new observatory in Vienna. This
is the largest yet attempted, and is being
made at Dublin. The length will be
thirty-two feet, the object-glass will have
an aperture ofover twenty-six inches, and
the great brass casting weighing eight
tons-wiH form a chamber of twelve feet
long, eight feet high, and four and one
half feet wide. The tube will be entirely
of steel, and all the axles will have their
friction relieved by anti-friction appara-
tus. It is expected that the instrument
will be completed by the autumn of
1878. It took six years to build the
Paris reflector, which cost about $40. 000.
