A Benevolent Mans Modcsty.

IL is stated by the Rochester Union OF
the late Lewis Brooks, of that city (the
4" unknown giver" OF $4,000 to the
University OF Virginia., that the extreme
secrecy which governed his deeds of
bene violence was induced, not only by
the motive to do his aims in secret, but
also for the reason that he did not wish
to become known as rich and benevo.
lent man, and be constantly annoyed by
letters from adventures and others,
telling pitiful IL not true stories of their
wants and unfortunate circumstances.
Prof. Ward once urged him to have the
natural history cabinet Of the university
called Brooks Cabinet" and that a
legend to that effect be put over the
main entrance. Mr.. Brooks, however,
declined, and said, almost angrily, e II
anything will make me regret that have
given anything to the university, it will
be your urging me TO allow my name to be
used in that manner" 1t is also related
by one Of his bankers that he frequently
went to the bank ana drew sums of fifty
dollara, one hundred dollars, one hundr d
and fifty dollars, and 80 on, in currencs,
which he would put ints a sealed envel-
ope, and then ask the bank to direct it.
The people to whom the money was sent
were, it 10 believed, persons in poor cir
cumstances, or small tradesmen who
we're in difficulties. He had the banker
to direct :he envelopes 50 that he could
not be traced out by the handwriting.

The Misdirecsso. or the Bile.

The misdirection of the bile,a consequence
which ensues when the liver is inactive and
the bowels torpid,produces number Of bod
lily evils. The blood becomes contaminated
with the bilious fluid, causing the skin and
the whites Of the eyes TO assume yellowish
tinge; dyspepsia and nausea supervene, the
tongue becomes furred, the breath fGtid
there are pains in the side and between the
shoulder blades,the urine is high colored and
scalding, and in aggravated cases, jaundice
and inflammation of the liver ensue. All these
consequences may be prevented or obviated
by using Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a vege.
table Alternative tonic which stimulates the
inactive liver to exert itself In secreting and
directing the bile, acts naturally upon the
bowels and restores every trace of indiges.

all the merchandise sent from the east
via New Orleans reached its destination.
The voyage from New Orleans 10 st.
Louis required four months" The
mode above recited as rule was only
employed in the Ohio in low stages Of
water, but in the Mississippi very
seldom the general mode was cordelling,
bushwhacking and warping, the latter
being the most used. This was done by
coiling three-quarter inch line in a
skiff, pulling to a point above, making
one end fast, and dropping down TO the
boat with the other; when all hands

them on nearing the anchor the boat
was hauled to shore, and the anchor
