DIR. TOwnsend's Oxygenat-
ed Air will purify the blood
in one third the time that
any other known remedy
can. Why? because to in
hale Oxygenated Air it
goes direct to the Lungs
and passes through the
tissues and comes in direct
contact with the blood as
it is forced into the Lungs
by the action of the heart.
All the blood in our veins
returns to the heart every
four minutes if the blood
is good, and forced from
the heart to the lungs. and
THE more Oxygen you in
hale into the lungs the
more you purify the blood.
When Oxygen comes in
cOntact with the impuri-
ties in the blood it carbO-
nizes and burns, causing
the blood to be heated SO
that it warns every part
lOf the body, as it goes on
Its revolutions through the
System. If your blood il
pure you cannot be sick
We drive Mercury and al
other impurities out of the
blood. We guarantee tC
purify the blood in one
+ third the time of any Sthel
known remedy.

There seems to be no doubt that several
bloodthirsty Northern Democrats received
a vigorous snubbing from their Southern
friends when the prospect Of conflict in the
doubtful States was thrsatning. II is said
on good authroity that when the Northern
warriors telegraphed to New Orleans,
"Rssist all attempts TO deprive you oi
your rights, and we will stand by you to
the last,n the answer came back, "No
thank you; we tried that plan once, trust
ing to your promises, and We don't care tc
DO 50 any more. You do the leading thli
time and let US do the reinforcing" M
wonder the prospect of gore was bhghtec
BY such a retort.

SMALL FARMs.--The Springfield (Mass.)
Republican says; "The real estate agents
note remarkable demand for small farms,
worth from 81 200 to $1,000, while large
farms are much less sought for. The me-
ehanics and laboFsrs, whose wages have
steadily reduced for the last two years, from
the majority Of the purchasers, and we
fancy most of them will find that the reduc'
tions have not been confined to to the city.
Probably half of these people have not fully
counted tbs cost, and will be glad enough
to get back to the city after the novelty has
worn of, while those who go to their new
avocation with determination to WORK
hard, and make the thing a success at al
hazards, win be pretty sure TO stay.

ART OF TALKING.

The man who is continually talking
seldom says anything of Importance,
more than half the! time he talks be-
cause he loves the sound of his own
voice, and his remarks are superficial
and ,valueless. The reserved man, on
the contrary, finds it difficult to give
utterance to his thoughts which rush
forward to the portals of his mouth in
such crowds that they, in fact, block it
up. Whenever you meet with man
of this kind give him time and do not
take his tardiness for ignorance or i'm.
becility of mind. In nine cases out of
ten he has lived in solttnde, and be-
cause he has not been habituated to
conversati0n, his tongue grows so
rusty that, when he does venture into
society, no one will wait till he is
drawn out, and therefore his reserve
continues to increase. Do not con-
temptously turn your back upon him,
but listen, aud he will, in all likeli-
hood, repay your civility with interest.
The man who talks but little generally
has something to say when he does
speak his ideas have been polished by
the observation of years, and sink
forcibly into the minds Of his hearers.

A SALAMANDER.

~ Misourian who had been in Dem
YER long enough to get hold of the
ropes, went into drug store and the
other day, and, speaking in familiar
way to the clerk, asked if he had any
muriatic acid. The clerk said yes, and
took down jar labelled " muriatic
acid" and set the jar and a graduate
measure before the Missourian, who
proceeded to pour out about " four
fingers of the contents into the meas
ure and swallow it. A number of per-
sons present who saw the performance
noticed the man smack his lips with
evident satisfaction and go out feeling
good, whereupon they asked the clerk
il that man was in the habit of doing
such things, and others wanted TO
know If he wasn't the ''fire king" who
belonged to the side show. The clerk
informed them that the object of their
solicitude was a private gentleman,
who performed that feat three or four
times day for pleasure, but he didn't
tell them that the jar labelled muriatic
acid contained old Kentucky sour
mash, distilled in 1860.

HOW THEY MAKE PINS.

A snappish, 'voracious little dwarf
OF machine pulls in the wire, bites it
OF by inches necessarily, l4O bites a
minute, and just as it seizes each bite,
saucy little hammer with a concave
face hits tho end of the wire three taps
and ."upsets " it to a head while he
grips it IN countersunk hole between
his teeth and lays 1t sidewise in q
grove, where levers and springs, play
ing like lightning, points the pins, and
whence they ere dropr ed into a box.
The pins are then polished, and two
very intelligent machines reject every
crooked pin. Another automaton as
sorts half dozen lengths, and a per-
feet genius of machine hangs the
pins by the heads and transfers them
to slips of paper, and by one move
ment sticks them all through two COR
rugated ridges in the paper, when the
work is finished. The pin machine is
one Of the nearest approaches to the
dexterity of the human hand that has
been invented. 1t is about the size of
a sewing machine which it closely re-
sembles. auaf Isig itHt

The Adiropdacks still have = large
quantity of spruce left, and the Sus-
quehanna valley in Pennsylvania is

which is even more remarkable in, its
results than this. Tho Gar Nicholas
once held review of his army in hon.
or of lady whose beauty had charmed
him. During the march his cavalry
came up in a trot. The, czar desiring
to improve the effect, gave the COM
mand to gallop. But the colonel Of
the regiment, whe had not understood
the order, continued to file past on the
trot. Nicholas, enraged, advanced to-

Of those far-away regions around the
Black and Caspian seas, the very
names of the ports from which it is
shipped being unfamiliar. Very few
who consider themselves good geog-

flourishing commercial towns reached

Constantiaople. For all. fine engrav.
