The Duglass Squirrel IN the Sequoia
Forests.


The Duglass squirrel, the echiekaree''
of the west, is the happy harvester Of
most of the sequoia cones. Ont OF every
hundred perhaps ninty-nine issIl TO his
share, and unless cut of by his sharp
ivory sickle, they shake out their seeds
and remain firmly attached to the tree for
many years. Watching the squirrels in
their indian-summcr harvest days is one
Of the most delightful diversions imagin-
able. Tho woods are cain then, ami the
ripe coloTs are blazing in all their CORY.
The cone-lajen trees pose mOtionless in
the warm smoky air, and you may see
the crimson crested woOdcock, the prince
Of Sierra woodpeckers, drilling the giant
trees with his ivory PICK, and ever and
anon filing the glens with his
careless eackle; the hummipg bird, too,
glaLcing among the pentstemons, or rest
ing wingwealy on some leaiiess twig;
and the old familiar robin OF the orchards
and the great, grizzly or brown bear, sc
obviously fitted for these majestic soil
;udes-mamm br.wn bears harmonic
ing grsndly with mammoth brown trees.

Among the happiest and pruudest possess
siors OF n man is his character. 1t is his
wealth-it is a RAM Of itself. It usually
procures him the honors, and rarely the
iealousies of fame. Like most treasures
that are attained less by circumstances than
ourselves, character is a more felicitous repu-
tation thar glory. The wise man., there
fore, despises not the opinion of the world
he estimates it at its full value-he does not
wantouly jeopardize his treasures of a good
pame. He does not rush from vanity,
alone, against the received sentiments of
others; he does not hazard his costly Jewel
with unworthy combatants, and for a petty
stake. He respects the legislation OF de-
corum. What is the essence and the life of
character? Principle, integrity, independ-
ence or, as one of the great old writers
hath II, THAT inbred loyalty unto Virtue,
which can serve her without a livery"
These are qualities that hang not upon any
mans breath. They must be formed with
In ourselves; they must make OuTSelues-in-
dissoluble and indestructible as the SOUL
II, conscious Of these possessions, we trust
TRANQUILITY to time and occasion to render
them known, we may rest assured that our
character, sooner or later, will establish
itself. We canno more defeat our own
object than by Il restless and feyered anxiety
as to what the world Will say of us. There
is O moral honesty in . due rerard for
character which will not share itself to the
humors of the crowd. And This. if honest.
is no less wise. For the crowd never long
esteems those who ilatter it ut their own ex.
pense. He who has the suppleness of the
demagogue will live to complain of the
fckleness of the mob.

Lees Wise Course after the War.

must give my special thanks for doing
me the justice to believe that my conduct
during the last Eve eventful years has been
governed by my sense of duty. 1 had no
other guide, nor had Iany other object than
the defence of those principles of American
liberty upon which the constitutions of the
several states and of the United States
were originally founded, and, unless they
are strictly observed, l fear there will be an
end to republican government in this coun-
try. I concur with you in opinion as to the
propriety md duty of all persons uniting,
in the present posture Of affairs, for the
restoration and reconciliation of the coun-
try. 1 have endeavored to pursue this
course myself since the cessation of hostili-
ties and have recommended it to others.
So far as my knowledge extends there is
no opposition ut the South to the general
government. Every one approves of the
policy of President johnson, gives him his
cordial support, md would, l believe, con.
fer upon him the presidency. l do not
know what more you desire, and even if l
possessed the influence you attribute to me,
how l could exercise it, as l have. But l
have no influence, and do not feel at liberty
to take a more active part in public affairs
than l have done.-From a Letter to a

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Crr"-
hon Of Man, or splce The Commence
ment Of the Christian Era.
There never has been.a time when the
healing of SO many different diseases has
been caused by outward application as the
half of the entire population oil the globe re-
sort to the use of ordinary plasters.
DIR. hELvIS's CAPsICUa Porous PLAsrETs
are acknowledged by all who have used
them, to act quicker than any other plaster
they ever before tried, and that one OF these
plasters VIII do more real service than n hun
tors are slow of action, and require 10 be
worn continually to effect u cure; but with
these II is entirely different; the instant one
Is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physicians in ali ages have thoroughly
tested and well know the effect of Cnpsicum;
and 1t has always been more or less used as a
medical agent for an outward application;
but 10 is only Ola very recent date that its adj
vantages in a porous plaster have been dis
covered; Being, however; CONVINCED of tue
CAPsICUM PoRoCs PLAsTERs and their supe-
riority over all other plasters, they now
actuaiiy prescribe them, in their practice. for
such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side
and back, and all such cases as have required
the use of plasters or liniment. After you
they have failed, and you want a certain
cure, ask your druggist for DIR. MELvIS's
CAPsIcuM Porous PLASTER. You can hardly
believe your own convictions of It's Wonder
full effects. Although powerful and quick in
Its action, you can rely on It's safety for the
most delicate person to wear, as IL is free
monty used In the manufacture of ordinary
plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee
OF Its merits, and one plaster Will sell hun
dreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for DIR. MARvIN's CAP
SICUM Porous PLASTER and take no other;
or, on receipt of % cents for one, 81 for five, or

The FAT Mems Convention.

We can see some pleasure, if no reason, In
the convening Of baby show, but we confess
we could never see the slightest cause, reason
able or otherwise, for fat mems convention,
unless it be the fact that misery loves compa-
ny. For fifty or hundred men, whose sever
al weights range from two hundred to three
hundred pounds, to hold a convention simply
because of so much surplus avoirdupois, is al
surd, to say the least. 1t becomes doubly SO
when We reflect that obesity is disease. What
would we think of as many persons emaciated by
consumption holding convention to compare
their relative weightsg There is but one
ground upon which we would advocate anoth-
er fat mems convention, and that is that they
will meet to discuss the merits of Allan's
AntiFat, the only known remedy for obesity.
1t is safe and reliable. Sold by druggists.

An Antidote which will cure every varie-

Americas greatest Chemists. This p:epara-

CLIFFORD'S FEBRIFUGE. Being entirely
free from minerals or other deleterious ma

THE wicks of kerosene lamps should
be changed frequently, or, if not toe
short, washed in strong, hot soapsuds,
with some ammonia in the rinsing water.
The trouble with poor light from kero-
sene lamps frequently arises from the
wicks being full of the sediment or re-
fuse matter which comes from the oil
and that impedes the free passage of the
kerosene through the wicks.
