The Lewiston Journal SAYS:

The tide has turned very materially. Persons
who had given notice at the Auburn Bank that
they would withdraw their funds, are counter
mandng their orders. This is the manly course,
row that everybody who knows anything Of the
Bank understands its complete soundness. Tues
day, notices Of withdrawal amounting in all to
$4,000, were countermanded. 1t now seems that
depositors mean to le: their funds alone and draw
their interest hereafter usual. This TT turning
wisdom will prevent the calling in of mortgages
and the great pecuniary distress and business pros
tration which would inevitably follow the forcing
of our Savings Banks into closing up affairs. There
is now no run on any Of our Savings Institutions.

Schenck,s Sea Weed Tonic.

IN the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food and fire.
quent preparations reduce bodily energy particu-
larly those suffering from the effects of facilitating
diseases In order to keep natural healthful activ-
1ty OF the system we must resort to artificial
means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic is very effectual A few doses will create
an appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia it is invaluable. Many emf
nent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cared by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. The Sea
Weed Tonic, in its nature is totally different from
such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or
acids; in fact it assists the regular operations of
nature and supplies her deficiencies. The Tonic in
its nature much resembles the gastric juice that
it is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric
juice is the natural solvent which, in healthy
condition of the body, causes the food to be di-
gested and when this juice is not excreted in suf
cient quantities Indigestion with all its distress
ing symptoms, follows The Sea Weed Tonic per-
forms the duty of the gastric juice when the latter
is deficient. SCheneks Sea Weed Tonic sold by

hath it that a great mystical bird
brought the ancestors of the present

that those people are fond of carica-

made of Russian sailors and soldiers
are very laughable. An idol which
was brought from a village of the Ma

is very striking. But none of these

Wood Ashes as a Potash Fer
tiIiZer.

FROM a very elaborate and thorough
investigation Of the composition of
wood ashes from household fire, by
Prof. Storer, it appears that these
contain, unleached and dry, about
eight and One-half per cent. of potash,
somewhat more than the lowest grades
of German potash salts. Either
leached OF unleached, the dry ashes
contain about two per cent. of phos-
phoric acid, of which none occurs in
the German salts. In StOrer's field
experiments, wood ashes (unleached)
applied in large quantities. brought
larger yields of barley, beans and ruta-
bagas than farm-yard manure, city
stable manure, or any single potash
salt, or sulphate, carbonate, or even
nitrate.
In commenting upon these results,
SCorer says: Wood ashes are more
serviceable than any single potash salt,
not only because they contain some
phosphorus acid, lime, magnesia, and
the less valuable elements of plant
food, but because, considering them
merely as potaSsic manure, they con-
tain a mixture of potash salts. Itmay
be regarded as well-nigh certain that
a given amount of potash applied in
the form of appropriate mixtures of
sulphate, carbonate, silicate and chic
ride of potassium, will, generally
speaking, do more good than when
applied in the form of either one of
these compounds. But in wood ashes
we find mixture of these salts ready
at hand; not the best mixture, per-
haps, but one ready formed, and in
this country, at least, very easily OBJ

Alaskan Idols.

THE Alaskan collection has been
very much increased lately. Our new
fellOW-citiZens have certainly contrib
uted to the Exhibition some Of the
most comical and grotesque features.
A monster boat, Ornamented with
hideous figures of men and savage
demi-gods, stretches its huge length
along the floor in one of the passage
ways, and the door-posts- of
which | have before described-nOW
ornament a dozen corners. Many of
these are colossal, and show giant de-
tiles crunching animals in their gi-
gantic jaws, or grinning horribly as
they sit crouched upon their massive
launches. The colors with which
these fantastic creations Of savage i'm
aginatiOn are decked are generally
blacks, reds, greens, and blues. The
entrances to the edifices over which
these great posts tower are usually in
significant and dirty. The houses are
covered with ScraWls which represent
nothing but rude fancy run riot. One
OF them, which comes from the Hadah
Indians at Fort Sampson in British
Columbia. has the sacred bird perching
above it. The Alaskans are fond of
elevating this sacred bird, also, on
their posts, and we are shown one
