Dyspepsia..-Its Cause and Cure.

The most universal cause of dyspepsia
is eating too often, too fast and too
much. The general rules should be.
1. Eat thrice day.
2. Not an atom between meals.
3. Nothing after o'clock but piece
of cold bread and butter and one cup of
hot drink.
4. Spend half an hour at least in TAX
ing each meal.
5. Cut up all meats and hard food in
pea-sized pieces.
6. Never eat enough to cause the slight
est uncomfortable sensation afterward.
7. Never work or study hard within
half an hour of eating.
The most universal and infallible indi-
cation that person is becoming dys-
peptic is some uncomfortable sensation
coming on uniformly after each meal,
whether that be in the stomach, throat
or anywhere else. The formation of
wind in the stomach, indicated by eruc-
tation, belchings or otherwise, demon
strates that dyspepsia is fixing itself in
the system. Then there is only one
course to pursue, and that is infalible:
eat less and less at each meal, until no
wind is generated and no other uncom-
Portable sensation is experienced in any
part of the body. No medicine ever
cured confirmed dyspepsia; eating plain
food regularly and living out of doors
industriously will cure most cases.

Saved by Her Corset,

On last Sunday afternoon as young
lady who resides with Mrs. Grubbs,
mother of T. +. Grubbs, steward of
the Allegheny Poor Farm, was walking
up Federal street in front of the Allie
gheny City Building, she felt something
strike her suddenly ON the left side,
which panied her quite severely for
short time and caused her to stagger
against the fence in front of the City
Building. At this time a boy came to her
and inquired if she was hurt, and said
that he did not intend to hurt her. She
did not know what it was that hurt her,
but went to her home and there found a
bullet lodged in one of the bones of her
corsets directly over the heart, and also
ound small blue spot on her side
where the bullet had lodged. She can
thank those corsets for saving her life

A shit for $500, 600. 900.

The celebrated jennings case, which
has been in the courts of England for fiji
teen years, it is said will be soon decided
Jennings died in this State about hun
dred years ago, and left property in En-
gland valued then at SIS, 000,0 900. Since
that time it has increased in value to
over 800, 100000. The heirs to this
immense sum in England and the State
of Virginia number about 100. The
ground of the litigation now going on is
the identity of the Virginia claimants,
which is disputed by some of the Eng
lish heirs. There are seven claimants i'll
Richmond, and one of the principal is a
young gentleman who is clerk in one of
the stores here. He is represented in
this case by Messrs. L. T. Giles and
Judge Halliburton, and j. V. Reddy,
Esq, of this city, two lawyers in
Georgetown, ID. c., and Hon. Judah p.
Benjamin in England. He yesterday
received a letter from the last mentioned
distinguished lawyer, in which that gen
tleman assures him that this tedious case
is nowrapidly drawing to a close, and
states that there is every indication that
the identity of the Virginia claimants
will be admitted. In that event the heirs
in this city would receive $50, 900, 900,
or S5,OOO,0O0 apiece. The majority of
the other Virginia heirs reside in Lynch
burg. Mr.. Reddy will probably go over
to England SOON in the interest of his
client. The Jennings estate has been in
the hands of the Cashier of the Bank of
England, and he will continue to hold it
until the courts decide the NATTER

the signal service AMI the retired list,
number 1913 men, and the active army
%, 936. OF the active army, 14,841 are
in the military division of the Missouri,
that's, on the Plains, distributed through
90 posts 2,044 are in the division of the
Atlantic, covering 20 posts 3,704 are on
the Pacific coast, and /, 1859 in the South.
OF the $40, $50, 651 spent, last year, under
the Secretary of War, about 100000
was for the signal service, $7,227, 900
was for rivers and harbors, SO, 404, 900
was for the War Department, and S.
636, 600 for staff, ordnance, Notifications
and arsenals, leaving 1913, 667, 900 for the
use of the active army. More than half
of this immense sum, or 81, 1864, 900,
was disbursed by the Quartermaster-
General, and represents largely the cost
of transportation and one.fourth of this
cost falls on depots and arsenals. The
pay, rations and armament of the entire
army, therefore, costs less than the
freight and transportation bills.

A Baby with Three Arms and Hands.

Nature developed one of her singular
freaks in this city last week. A young
wife gave birth to a male child, weigh
ing eight and a half pounds, which has
two perfectly formed and well developed
arms starting from the shoulders and
one behind. The lady has been married
about three years, and this is her first
child. Mother and child are both doing
wei, but the family are not anxious for
notoriety, and therefore, as a matter of
delicacy, we refrain from mentioning the
family name. Having, however, seen
the child, we can vouch for the truth of
the above statement. Carmel

An Arkansas Fathers Advice to His
Son.

Bob, you are about leaving home for
strange parts. You are going to throw
me out of the game and go it alone.
The odds are agin you, Bob. Remem-
Der that industry and perseverance are
the winning cards, as they are the
" bowers" Book-larniug and all that
sort of thing will do to fill up with like
small trumps, you must have the bowers
to back them, or they amt worth shucks.
If luck is agln you pretty strong, don't
cave in and look like a sick chicken on
a rainy day, but hold up your head and
make believe you are flush of trumps /;
they don't play so hard agin you. I've
lived and travelled around some, and
I've found out that as soon as folks
thought you held weak hand they'd all
buck agin you strong. So, when you're
sorter weak, keep on bold front, but
play cantious-be satisfied with pint.
Many's the hand I've seen euchered be-
cause they played for too much. Keep
your eye well skinned, Bob; don't let
EN- mig you recollect the game lies as
much with head as with hands. Be
temperate; never get drunk, for then,
no matter how you play it, both bowers
and the ace won't save you, for there's
certain to be a misdeal or something
wrong. And another thing Bob (this
was spoken i'll low tone), don't go too
much on women queens is kinder poor
cards ; the more you have of them the
worse for you you might have three
and nary trump. L don't say discard
'em all ; you get hold of one that is a
trump it's all your good, and there's
sartin to be one out Of four. And above
all, Bob, be honest never take mans
trick wot don't belong to you, nor slip
"cards or nig," for then you can't look
your man in the face and when that's
the case there's no fun in the game it's
q regular cut-throat." So now, Bob,
farewell. Remember what L tell you,
and you will be sure to win and if you
don't, it sarves you right to be
"skunked."

Postal Cards.

The Postmaster General in his last re-
port estimates that 129, 100000 postal
cards will be needed during the fiscal
year ending June 30, because of the
growing popularity of the cards and the
demand there will be for them fo~ cen
tennial advertising. But the demand
thus far exceeds the estimate. There is
some talk of getting up a centennial pos
tai card, to bear suitable inscription, to
be sold at Philadelphia as tokens of the
exhibition, a plan which it has been de-
cided to carry out in regard to the Gov
eminent stamped envelopes. A possible
substitute for or improvement upon the
postal card, the manufacture of which is
under consideration in the Postoffice
Department, is stamped sheet about
the size of half-sheet of note paper,
with gummed flap at one end, to serve
as both letter paper and envelope, and
10 cost two cents.

An Exquisite story by Lamartine.
In the tribe of Neggedeh, there was a
horse whose fame was spread far and
near, and Bedouin of another tribe, by
name Daher, desired extremely to pos
sess it. Having offered in vain for it his
camels and his whole wealth, he hit at
length upon the following device by
which he hoped to gain the object of his
desire. He resolved to stain his face
with the juice of an herb, to clothe him
self in rags, to tie his legs and neck to-
gether, so as to appear like lame beg
gar. Thus equipped, he went to wait
for Naber, the owner of the horse, whom
Ike knew was to pass that way. When
he saw Naber approaching on his beau
tiful steed, he cried out i'll weak voice:
liam poor stranger for three days
/ have been unable to move from
this spot to seek for food. ] am
dying help me, and heaven will reward
you"
The Bedouin kindly offered to take
him upon his horse and carry him home;
but the rogue replied /:
" l cannot rise have no strength
left"
Naber, touched with pity, dismount-
ed, led his horse to the spot, and with
great difficulty, set the seeming beggar
on its back. But no sooner did Daher
feel himself in the saddle, than he put
spurs to the horse, and galloped of,
calling out, as he did so
cit is 1, Daher. have got the horse
and am off with him."
Naber called after him to stop and
listen. Certain of not being pursued,
he turned and halted at short dis
lance from Naber, who was armed with
spear.
"Since heaven has willed it, wish
you Joy of it but L do conjure you
never to tell any one how you obtained
it..
"And why not 2" said Daher,
because" said the noble Arab, can
other might be really i'll, and men would
fear to help him. You would be the
cause of many refusing to perform an
act of charity, for fear of being duped,
as have been"
Struck with shame at these words,
Daher was silent for moment, then,
springing from the horse, returned it
to its owner, embracing him. Naber
made him accompany him to his tent,
where they spent few days together,
and became fast friends for life.

The following communication has lately
been forwarded to all persons in the State
interested in horse matters, and will speak for
itself
DEAR SIR-The Executive Board of the State Agr-
cultural Society, at their last meeting, having
adopted resolution, by vote Of Is to 5, which, in
our Judgment, is detrimental to the interests of
every horse breeder and in the State of Mich
igan, viz In deciding. hereafter, to give purses
for running or trotting, and by remarks in debate
of members composing the Executive Board, it has
become apparent that the horse interest must in the
future look for no encouragement at the hands of
the present State Agricultural Society Self-preser-
walton being the first law Of nature, we, the under
signed breeders and of horses in this State,
deem il duty to call meeting of all the horse
men in the State, to be held at Lansing on the first
Tuesday in March, 1876 for the purpose of exchang-
ing views the subject, and if considered best for
the interest of ourselves and the State at large to
organize a State Horse Association, award premiums
to all classes of horses, and also give purses for
trottng and running. Respectfully yours

IKE most effective and useful depart
ment of our Government, compared
with the cost, is, undoubtedly, the Sig
nal Service. At comparatively trifiing
expense it receives from its various sta
tons, in every part of the land, LOLA
daily reports, and sends ont its prognos-
tications TO govern the harvest, the lake
commerce, the canal transportation, the
movement Of the boats on the Mississip'
pi, and the departure of ships on the
sea. The approach of storms on the
lakes and the movement of gales on the
coast, the coming of rain, the freezing of
the canals, and the rise and progress OF
river floods, have been so successfully
forecast that hundreds of lives and mil
lions of money have been saved. The
results achieved astonish the Old World,
and the international Congress of Geog-
raphers at Paris has notified Gen. Myer
that no honor which it could confer is
deemed commensurate to his deserts.
