THE TYLER FRAUD!

DLER PERPETRA TED ON THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.

In reply to the proof of Hayes (
acceptance of the nomination Of the
American Alliance and his member,
ship Of that proscriptive organiza-
ton, document was published
signed ''L. S. Tyler and purport-
ing to be written by the Secretary OF
the American Alliance. This docu-
ment aoaS dated October 6, and was
effectually disposed of by the reply
of Hon. d. Magone, Jr., Chairman
of the New York State Democratic
Committee, on the same date. 1t is
now proven that not only Tyler did
not write the letter, but that he aVas
not euen the Secretary Of the Alliance
at that time, and was not even in the
United States when his name was
signed to the document.
He resigned his position as Sec
retary of the American Alliance on
August 25th, and sailed for Europe
the same day.

mittee have been guilty OF a base

Gals have been guilty of nothing
more atrocious than this bare-faced

NATIcIK, Mass, Jan. 1st, 1873.
MR.. n. R. STEVENS
Dear Sir-We have good reason for regarding
your VEGETINE medicine of the greatest value.
we feel assured that has been the means of saw
ing our sons life. He is seventeen years of
age for his leg, caused by scrofulOus affection,
and was so far reduced that nearly all who him
thought his recovery impossible. council of able
physicians could give US but the faintest hope OF
his eve raIying; two of the number declaring that
he was beyond the reach Of human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he had not
vigor enough to endure the operation. just then
we commenced giving him VEGETINE and from
that time to the present he has been continuously
improving. He has lately resumed studies thrown
away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheer
fully and strong.
Though there is still discharge from the O.
pening where his limb laneed, we have the full
est confidence that in little timn he will be per-
fectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of VEGE-
TINE, but lately uses but little, as he declares he
is too well to be taking medicine.
Respectfully, yours,
L. s. BEST,
MRS. i. G. F. BEST.

Sitting-Bull's Early Days.

A correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune, who mOdestly signs himself
IA Schoolmate of Sitting-Bull," ven
lures upon the following remarkable
"reminiscences: ... f.
l well remember the infantile days of
Sitting-Bull, the guileless innocence of
his childhood, and how we used to give
him a truthful little Ratchet and butch
er-knife and the old yellow cat all for to
play with. should Judge that he must
have scalped that old cat as much as
sixteen or seventeen hundred times be-
fore he was three years old. 1t was
beautifully touching to see what Interest
that child took in dumb animals-par-
ticularly that cat. And then to see him
draw rations and blankets and things
just in play! Why, have seen him
walk around the tepee hour after hour,
and every time he would come up and
answer to a different name and draw
acOrns for ratiOns and burdOck leaves
for blankets and fish-bones for scalpiUg-
knives. You see he would always set
up rotten Eastwood stick, with two
clamshells for eyes looking straight up
to the sky, for an agent. 1t used to
bring tears to my eyes to see him some
times. 1t reminded me of his dear
papa, who went out scalping once in
fun, and had something happen to him
so that he didn't come back again. We
named him Sitting-Bul when he was
two years old, but when he grew up a
little and begun to develop the peculiar
traits of his great-great-gr grandfather
and greater ancestor, John Smith, we
were sorry we hadn't called him Lying
Bull instead

Fruit for Food.

If a child's digestion become i'm
paired and the gastric juice become
weakened or defective in quantity by
overheating or bad food, the whole ali
mentary canal becomes clogged up and
filthy, and furnishes nests for such
worms as will breed there. In this
weakened condition of the system, they
can not be destroyed by the process OF
digestion, and hence great harm comes
from them. Now, it is an interesting
fact that fresh, ripe fruit is the best
preventive for this state of things. DR..
Benjamin Rush pointed this out a
hundred years ago. He made series
of experiments on earth worms, which
he regarded as more nearly allied to
those that infest the bowels of children
than any other, with view to test
their power of retaining life under the
influences of various substances that
might be used as worm medicines. The
results proved that worms often lived
longer in those substances known as
poisonous than in some of the most
harmless articles of food. For instance,
in watery solutions of opium they lived
eleven minutes; in infusion Of pink
root, thirty-three minutes; in claret
wine, ten minutes; but in the juice OF
red cherries they died in six minutes
black cherries, in five minutes; red
currants, in three minutes; gOOseber-
ries, in four minutes; whortleberrles,
in seven minutes; and raspberrieS, in
five minutes. From these experiments
DR.. Rush argued that fresh, ripe fruits,
of which children are very fond, are
the most speedy and effeetual poisons
for worms. In practice this theory has
proved to be cOrrect.-CincsnnGti Ga

Removing a Lake.

The Bath (Steuben County, n. Y. }
Courier has the following: A very COM
petent engineer has made some careful
surveys and estimates to determine the
possibility of moving Lake Keuka about
eight miles further up the river. We
are happy to be assured by him that the
project is feasible and that the expense
will be much lower than has been sup
posed The plan involves the buying of
a strip of farms extending from the head
of the lake up to the corporation bounds
of this village. Atrench being then dug
of sufficient depth and a line of barrels
filled with nitro-glycerine carefully laid
in the bottom, single explosion, it is
calculated, will lay open a chasm seven
and half miles long and half a mile
wide, into which the water will rush in
a perfect deluge. Penn Yam will then
be left eight miles from the foot of the
lake, and that space which is now COW
cred with useless water will become in
a few years fruitful farms occupied by
an honest and industrious population.
The expense of this great improvement
will be but a trifle over 81, 100000. The
moneyed men of Bath have already sub
scribed $500, 900, and the balance viii
easily be made up by small subscrip-
tons. A public meeting will shortly be

Treatment OF Girls,

How many unhappy girls have paid
dearly for the early bringing up of their
Young husbands, who, after the first
glamour of love has passed, treat their
wives as they were allowed to treat their
sisters, and as they saw their fathers
treat their motherS-carelessly, diSre-
spectfully, with total want of that
considerable tenderness which is worth
all the passionate love in the world.
Thus, though they may muster outside
as excellent husbands, never do any
thing really bad, and possess many
good and attractive qualities, yet they
contrive somehow TO quietly break the
poor woman's heart, or harden it into
that passive acceptance of pain, which
is more fatal to married happiness than
even temporary arrangement. Anger
itselfis a safer thing than stolid, hope
less indifference.
The best husbands l ever met came
out of a family where the mother, a
most heroic and self-denying woman,
laid down the absolute law-''girls

abdomen does not project; his hands
are large, but not too deeply cleft; his
foot is rather thick than long, and his
LEGS are firm and round. He has a
broad arched chest, a strong voice, and
the faculty of retaining his breath for
q long time without difficulty. There
is harmony in all his parts. His senses
are good but not too delicate; his pulse

Simian Sagacity.

The sagacious monkey, who, accord
inc to the time-hOnOred story, used the
reluctant paw of cat to withdraw hot
chestnuts from the fire, is outdone by
the performance of another member of
his tribe, which is recounted by a
French resident of South Africa, in a
letter to Les MOndeS. The writer is
the possessor of a large cotton planta-
ton, and his crops have suffered Sc
Verely from the ravages of large spe-
cies of baboon, which greedily devours
the fruit of small tree which grows
among the bushes. The best safe
guards against the depredations are the
wasps which make their nests in the
lower part of these trees, for of the
fierce attack and painful stings of these
insects the balloons have wholesome
fear. One. morning, hideous chorus
of wells and bowls was heard from
portion of the plantation where the
wasps had most thickly congregated,
and where the fruit trees consequently
were heavily laden. On searching for
the cause, the writer saw from afar
venerable and ancient babOon busily
engaged in throwing infant monkeys at
the trees. These living projectiles thus
knocked down the nests and of course
were objects of the keen attentions of
the infuriate occupants. Meanwhile
the baboon quietly made his way to the
upper branches, gorged himself, and
then added insult to injury to the badly
stung monkeys by pelting them with
the rindS and pits of his repast.
