an Alpine Avalan che

In the summer of 1864, party OF tourists.
while visiting the Alps, climbed, with great
difficulty, to an elevated and snow-covered
plateau, in order to obtain better view Of
Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and
richness of midsummer below with the bleak
ness and steriIity of midwinter around and
above them. In play they rolled the moist
snow into large balls, they crowded it over the
edge of the plateau. In falling it struck softer
snow, which Immediately gave way, and soon
an avalanche was tearing down the mountain
side, burying and destroying everything in its
course. As the handful of snow became the
irresistible avalanche, so the hacking cough
with sore throat and Catarrh, if neglected.
speedily developes into that dread DESTROYER.
Consumption. In the early stages, DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy will effect cure. though if
the blood be affected or impoverished it must
be purified and enriched by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and the liver and bowels
kept active by bis Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
Many who despaired Of lifeand had been given
up to die by physicians and friends owe their
restoration to the above remedies.

DR.. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y:
Dear SIR: [ was Frustrated some three
years since with pleuro-pneumonia, which left
me with troublesome cough, that gradually
grew worse until physicians gave me 1p to die
with consumption. / tried several remedies
that are advertised to cure consumption. but
without obtaining any relief or benefit. Seeing
your Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant
Purgative Pellets advertised, I concluded to
try them, and found them to be all that Won
claim for them. My restoration has remained
complete for over two years. Enclosed find

Tie Mining Of Former DAYS.

The primitive placer mining of early
days, pursued by the Argonauts of 1849
with pick, shovel and pan, has become q
thing of the past, or at the best is only
carried on to very limited extent, and
mostly by Cinnamon. There are thou
sands of these moon-eyed Mongols en-
ployed in mining in this State, princi-
pally abandoned claims. On what is
called the lava-bed6 in Oroville they are
honey-combing hundreds of acres with
shafts, and are finding gold in paying
quantities. I have been out prospecting
myself several times, and in gulches, ra-
vines, wherever there is the slightest in
dication of gold, I rarely, if ever, fail to
find Chinaman delving in the gravel or
in crevice in search of the precious
metal. The most productive placer
mines are those where once the beds Of
rivers formerly existed. Ia many of the
old mining towns, whose names are IA
miliar to forty-niners, operations are
still carried or while in other towns, that
at one time sent away $1,000,000 every
month in gold for years, there is now no
evidence OF their former existence, or at
the best only house or two is left sur
rounded by an orchard or vineyard. -

An Incident Of Colorado Life.

In drear and wintry prairie opening
called Summit Park, /" Oregon Bill has
established his hermit home. His cabin
is visible mile down the meadow, and
thin corkscrew of smoke was curling
above its dirt roof when we passed. The
other day while o. Bill was away thirty
or forty miles at his next neighbours, re-
building dilapidated leg or something,
another fellow whe wanted to be her
nit came along and jumped Bills pos
sessions. By and by Bill came limping
back home on crutches, and the jumper
met him at the door with his gun. Bill
let go one crutch, held up his game leg,
whipped out his revolver and blazed
away. Then he walked off down to
Saguache, sixty or seventy miles, told
the story and gave himself up. An ex-
animation was had, and he was dis
charged; a fatigue party was sent up to
plant the other fellow, and now of Bills
right there is none to dispute. =

AS the wife is the home-keeper, it is
natural that her influence IN making or
destroying domestic happiness is greater
than her husbands. By her manage
ment of small sums her husbands re-
spectabihty and credit are erected or de-
strOyed. No fortune can stand the con
slant leaking Of extravaganza and mis-
management; and more is spent in trifes
than women would easily believe. Look
well after the pennies, then. Then there
are other matters equally important.
An unfinished cruet stand, q missing
key, buttonless shirt, soiled table
cloth, mustard pot with it's old contents
sticking about it, are really nothing; but
can raise an angry word or cause discom-
fort. Depend upon it, there is q great
deal of domestic happiness in we'll
dressed mutton chop, or tidy breakfast
table. Men grow full of beauty, tired
of music, are often too wearied for con-
versation, however intellectual, but they
can always appreciate a well-swept
hearth and smiling comfort. Domestic
tasks may frequently become irksome;
but, rather than run the risk of losing
your husbands love, submit to them
eheerfullv.

Some medical students in one of the
colleges of this city, dissecting ft male
subject few days ago, found what is
called in doctors parlance 'corset
liver" When tight lacing has been
practiced through several years, per-
manent dent or hollow is produced in
the liver, which may be seen very plain
ly after the woman is dead and her liver
dissected out This kind of liver occurs
so frequently in women that physicians
have givenit thename of ''corset liver. "
In the subject mentioned the hollow in
the liver was large enough for the wrist
of grown man to be laid in it. Young
ladies who don't want their ivers put
into the newspapers and made an awful
example of after they are dead would
better take warning. - Cincinnati Com

A Sensitive Woman.

The following is told of a resident of
Iowa: "The case of Mrs. E. Winship,
who resides in Shell Rock, is remarka-
BILE one. The slightest odor of tobacco,
ether, chloroform, turpentine, benzine,
kerosene or prussic acid will, if she in
hale it, throw her into violent convul-
sions. So sensitive is she to the effect
that she is obliged to shut herself wholly
in room by herself. These commissions
increase in severity at each repetition,
and few days since q man entered the
house with o piece of tobacco in his
mouth before the family were aware Of
it, and, although the rooms were thor
oughly ventilated by leaving the doors
and windows open, enough of the odor
of tobacco remained to produce these
commissions when Mrs. Winship came
into the room, and for some hours it was
thought she would not recover. Extra
ordinary precautions are used to prevent
those who use tobacco from going to the
house."

How q Horse Kent Warm.

The Meriden (Ct) Republican tells
this story :" One cold morning last week
DR.. Wilson drove up to q house on
Grown street, and left his horse without
hitching it. The horse waited few
moments, and. his master not returning,
he began to dance double-shufle, pre-
sumably to get his feet warm. Finding
this rather monotonous, he started up
toward Olive street, keeping up q kind
of Kentucky breakdown. When he had
gone several rods, he cramped the buggy
back, and turned round as neatly as
though guided by skillful driver, and
pranced back to the hitohing-post. Here
he waited about five minutes, and then
started toward Main street, going
through several kinds Of PAGES. Near
tie corner he stopped and turned round
as skillfully as before, and frightened a
boy who had tried to stop him, almost
out of his wits, by pursuing said boy
with open mouth and bent-back ears, as
though his habit was to eat every small
boy that he came across. He then con-
tinued his antics until he had reached
the house where he had been left, and,
when DR.. Wilson came out, he was stand
ing at the hitching- post, as demurely as
though he had never thought of leav-
ing it. -

The Cotton Crop.

Of the cotton crop the New Orleans
Democrat says: Coming now to tie
crop OF 1876-77, we find that New Or
leans has fallen to rs. 81 per cent, Ala
bama to 8.04 per cent. Florida to 81 per
cent, Georgia to 1896 per cent, while
Texas has risen to 11.29 per cent, South
Carolina to 1913 per cent, Virginia to
IL. So per cent, and North Carolina to
3.07 per cent. New Orleans, which
handled 1880 875 bales as far back as in
1852, and 2,139, 425 bales IN 1860, is
credited with but 1876, 035 bales, out
of o crop of 4,485, 423 bales in 1877,
while Texas, with but 81, 052 bales IN
1852, and Virginia, with but 20, $40 bales
in the same year, have advanced to
506.63 and 575, 941 bales respectively in

Driving Eggs.

A large establishment has opened in
st. Louis for drying eggs. It is in full
operation, and hundreds of thousands of
dozens are going into It's Unsuitable NAV.
The eggs are carefully examined by q
Light to ascertain whether good or not,
and then are thrown into an immense
receptacle, where they are broken, and,
by q centrifugal operation, the white
and yelk are separated from the she'll
very much as liquid honey is separated
from the comb. The liquid is then dried
by heat, by patent process, and the dried
article is leftresembling sugar, and is put
in barrels, and is ready for transportation
anywhere. This dried article has been
taken twice across the equator in ships,
and then made into omelet, and compared
with omelet made from fresh eggs in the
same manner, and the best judges could
not detect the difference between the
two Is not this an age of wonders

The trade in alcohol and alcoholic
spirits is suffering great depression. It
is beset by many difficulties, among
which are: The discovery of petroleum,
the large increase in the European man
ufacture of alcohol, the decrease of the
use of that article in American manu-
features, the greatly increased cons mp-
ten of lager beer, and the establishment
of that great industry, the growth of
American wines and brandies. Previous
to the discovery of petroleum, very
large portion of the alcohol made in the
United States was made into burning
fluid, or used as substitute for the
more expensive animal or fish oils. In
the manufacture of alcohol this country
had once almost an exclusive monopoly

The weight OF the body has often
been assumed a. an infallible proof OF
the maintenance Of the condition Of the
body, or OF a deposition of tissue, and
the food which keeps up mans weight
has been regarded ~ on that account
satisfactorily nutritious. But the
weight of the body Is no criterion of
the value Of the food taken; because
while the weight remains constant, or
even increases, water may increase in
The tissues and albumen and fat dimin-
ish; or there may be an increase Of
weight and deposition Of fat, while
there Is also at the same time diminu-
ton Of the albumen Of the body. Badly
nourishcd people are usually not lighter
than others, but their bodies contain
more water and less albumen and fat
than those who are well nourished.
Every cattle-feeder knows that cattle
which are being fattened do not at first
increase in weight proportionately 70
the food they take. And yet people
commonly regard weight as Of great
Importance in tho case Of men, though
butcher will not buy n carcass on the
merits Of its weight alone; he must
know the quality Of the meat. Herald
