L HAVE FOUND
THE RIGHT MEDICINE.

BOSTON, Mass.
Mr. III. r. STENENS.
Dear SIr-My only object in giving you this
testimonial is to spread valuable l. formation.
Having been badly afflicted with Salt hhenm,
and the whole surface of nv skin being covered
with pimples and erupuOns, many of which
caused me great pain and annoyance, and know
ing it to be blood disease, took many OF the adj
verrised blood preparations, among which was
any Quantity of Sarsaparilla, without obtaining
any benefit until commenced taking the Vege-
tine; and before had completed the first bottle
saw that 1 had got the right medicine. Conse-
quentiy followed on with it until had taken
seven bottles, when 1 was pronounced well
man; and my skin is smooth and entirely free
from pimpIes and eluptlons. l have never en-
ioycd so good health before, and attribute IL to
the use OF Vegetine. 70 benefit those afflicted
with Rheumatism. / will make mention also of
the Vegetine's wonderful power of curing me of
this acute complaint, of which have suffered 30
intensely. e.. III. TUCKER,

IN noticing the statement that during
the year ending June 80, 1876, there oc-
CURED on the coasts of England and
Ireland 1857 wrecks, the London Times
calls attention TO the fact that more than
One-half of these wrecks occurred in
fairly moderate weather, when the wind
Gid not exceed strong breeze. and 534
of the casualties were due to inattention,
carelessness or neglect. This, the Times de-
clares, is little short OF scandal to
British seamanship. In fifteen years H.
322 persons have been lost on the British
coast.

THE postOffice quarrel at Toledo, O..has
taken an eruptive or explosive turn.
Postmaster Reed has sued the proprie-
tors of the Sunday Journal for libel
charging that they sent dispatches to the
New York Sun and other papers in
timating that Reed was defaultcr. A
special agent found the accounts of the
office all straight. and Reed sued Sher-
man and Garfield for $4,000, the Sheriff
taking possession of the property on
Friday evening, last week.

M!LK-BEEE EE-Miik- beer, a new product
OF fermentation is discussed, IN connec-
ton with the beer question generally, by
a recent French writer. He considers
beer very useful drink, containing many
of the salts favorable to nutrition, besides
nitrogenOus substances easily astlmlable,
and especially, an abundance of the ele-
ments thatsupport respiration. Unfortu-
nately, the adulteration of beer has be-
come SO common as not only TO destroy
its hygenic properties, but to render Its
use dangerous The new product OF
lacto- alcoholic fermentation, which he
calls La Bier de Lait, is destined, he
thinks, to occupy an important place IN
alimentary hygiene. The manufacture OF
this beer rests on the same principle as
that of other beer, except that milk is
used instead of water, in its preparation
This beer has a yellowish color, and a
density little greater than ordinary
beer, The TASTE is pleasant and less BIT
Ter than the generality Of malt liquors.
4" In fine, if We admit the utility Of beer
in general" remarks the SdaitGriaR, q" We
must see the great advantages inahygenic
point of view that this beer has over all
other kinds The water Is replaced by
milk, whose albuminoid principles, to-
gether with a great quantity of the salts
found in the serum of the blood, give to
the beer the advantageous union OF all
the constituent principles of milk malt
and hops, and thus greatly enhance its
nourishing properties"

RAILRoapF FgEIcHTs.- Washington T,

RAILRoApFREIGHTs. Washington Ter
ritary sent a majority of asses to her
Legislature, and rs consequence, the bill
to regulate freight on railroads was voted
down. If there is one honest paper IN
that territoryin the interest of the people,
it should piliory every member who voted
to kill the bill, and see ii they don't have
more scads to flourish around than the
honest pay of legislators viii warrant.
Such crying in Justice as the people OF
that territory labor and groan under, IN
the unmerciful exactions Of petty rail-
roads. is enough to make horse laugh
when it Is known that ten line enact
ment BY the recent assembly would have
prevented it for all future time The
strong giant of the body corporate was
bound with the withes of the monopollsts,
through the agency Of the servants OF the
people, and 50 they viii continue bound
until they have the sense and determlna-
ton to send up representatives who VIII
obey the behests of the people rather than
pocket the pay of the corporaaonlsts.
Oregon had such legislature in her last,
and, as consequence, the locks were
opened out TO the public in such a way
that all the ingenuity OF the monopollsts
cannot devise way 10 shut them up, and
thereby inauglrate such carnival OF op-
preston as now exists in Washington ter

Snakc EncEbat:Sa.

The geological gardens of London, al
ways attractive, now anu then acquire even
additional interest i'll the new arrival OF
some new inmate, or the occurrence OF
some rare event among those already es-
tablished there. Last year the Prince of
Wales Indian collection Of animals +; the
wear before the snake-eating snake, drew
extra crowds and Of late the anaconda
from Brazil has rendered herself popular
by bringing forth family Of snakelrngs,
though, owing to The effects of her long
tourney and close confinement her young
ones were dead. \ few years ago the
largest snake in the gardens Was an Ahi-
can python, that deposited above one
hundred eggs III Il nest Of moss which had
been supplied to her and as some writers
about snakes have told lis that the python
incubatss her eggs, and that only this
kind exhibit any such maternal instinct,
she also drew crowds OF the curious.
The pythoness, whose proceedings we
are about to relate, having deposited her
ee.s, arranged them IL Il level mass, and
then coiled I.erself around and over them;
sometimes they could be ust discovered
between her coils, and sometimes she
covered them entirely Heat combined
with moisture are essential to the de-
yolpment of snakes eggs !; and IN the
choice of a spot in which to deposit them
the maternal instinct of the animal IN a
state of freedom is evident.
1t is generally among decaylns ve9e-
tation where heat Is generated, OF IN some
moist, soft heritage, where the s'ln rays
can penetrate. To regulate the tempera-
turc in close cage, and keep the moss
precisely in a condition to suit snake re
auireinents, was by no means easy. and
our pvthoness seemed far from satisfied.
The fact, however. was established be-
yond doubt. that she WAS Matching her
eggs by the warmth of her OWN body.
But most untoward disaster happen
ea one night in the orerhowing "f the
tank among her eggs, completely saturat-
ing them; and it was not surprising,
therefore, that no young pythons appear
ed. The enormous reptile remained coil
ed around and over her added eggs for
above seven weeks, after which they were
taken from her. She had, and with good
reason, been very irritable, and even saw
are during this time Of trial, as 1t was
midwinter, the season, when under other
circumstances she, like her companions,
would be half torpid, But her maternal
affection was undeniable, and this alone
| was worth witnessing, since some authors
would have us believe that snakes land
| particularly n-venemous ones) manifest
entire Indifference regarding their eggs
and young. The pythoness' eggs, being,
as usual, in one long string, the keeper
had no little trouble in getting them from
unGer her.

QUEEN VIcToRIA's FAMILY INFLUESCI

QUEEN VICToRIA's FAMILY INFLUENCE
Victoria always Is good deal spoken
about. 1t is said that she, and noneother,
untangled The raveled skein between the
Prince and Princess of Wales, who are
now so much together and apparently so
well content with each other that the lady
must have relinquished Gf she ever enter
ta;ned) the intention of going to Copen-
hagen for an indefinite period. The Queen
regulates and disciplines her children, Just
as if they were still boys and girIs, Here
is a recent instance Prince Leopold,
who is over twenty-four years old, has
been spending the autumn IN Scotland
His slightest movements and purposes are
telegraphed to Balmoral by one OF his
suite. On being in county town IN ElS9in-
shire, which he had not visited previously,
he accepted the polite offer of gentle
man of the locality TO sit in his pew, IN
the Episcopal Church. Just as he was
about entering the sacred edifee, tele-
cram from his royal mother was pat INTO
his hand, positively ordering him prefer
entiallv TO attend divine worship IN the
PRESBYTERIAN Church, and the poor young
man had to obey orders, by making a
lame apology TO the gentleman whose
courtesy he was forcedtoahandon-
delphia Pres.

TO. .N0RROW.

The setting sun, with dying beams,
Had walked the purple hill TO fire,
And citadel and dome and spire
Were gi'ded by the far-off CLEAN;
And in and ont dark pine trees crept
Fall many slender line OF gold;
Gold notes athvart the river swept.
And kissed it rs it onward rolled;
And sunlight fingered, 10th to 90.
All well, 1t causeth sorrow
To part from those we love below.
And yet the sun as bright shall glow
Tomorrow
The tide was ebbing on the strand.
Aud stopping low It's silver crest;
The crimson seaweed lay at rest
Upon the amber-rihbed sand;
Dashed DER the rocks and Oh The shore
Flnng parting wreaths Of pearly spray,
Then fed away; yet turned once more
And sent sight across the bay,
As though it could not bear to 90.
All. well, it causeth sorrow
To part with these We love below
Yet thitherward the tide shall flow
Tomorrow
Two hearts have met to say farewell
At even when the sun went down
Each ife-sound from the busy town
Sn:nte sadly as n passing bell.
One whispere;ai, :" "Pariing is s''aaet pain
At morn and eve returns the tide; :"
"Nay, parting rends the heart in twain. y
And still they linger side by side,
And still they iinger, 10th to go.
All we'll, it caaSeth sorrow
To part with those We love below
For shall We ever meet or 10

NOXE1sEER.

When thistle blows do lightly float
About the pastare height,
And shrills the hawk parting note,
And creeps the frost al night,
Then hilly no, though | sing SO,
And whistle rs may,
There comes again the o!d heart pain
Through all the livelong day.
In high wind ereaks the leailess tree
And mods the fading fern,
The knobs are dun as snow clouds be,
And cold the sun does burn;
Then ho, hollo! though calling 50,
l cannot keep it down;
The tears arise unto my eyes,
And thoughts are chill and brown
Far in the cedars iusky stoles,
Where the sere ground-vine wcaves,
Tie partridge drums funeral rolls
Above the fallen leaves.
And hip, hip, no. though cheering SO,
1t stills no whit the pain; ltip
For drip, drip, drip, from the bare branch
hear The last years ram.
60 drive the cold cows from the hill,
And call the wet sheep Ill;
And let their stamping chatter fill
The barn with warming din.
And no, folk, no, though it Is so
That We no more may roam,
We still will lind cheerful mind
Around the fire at home
