AhonLnna ot Eaa

At all times ships Of one kind or another are
floating about at sea, abandoned by officers and
crew, in what seems hopeless condition.
Some are dismantled and mere hulks some are
swimming keel upwards, some are watcr-log-
ged, but being laden with timber will not sink
but are driven hither and thither rs the wind
and waves may direct. So people afflicted with
catarrb, bronchitis, and consumption are aband-
doned by physicians and friends as incurable,
yet thousands of such are annually restored to
perfect health by the use of DIR. Sages Catarrh
Remedy and DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. The Catarrh Remedy is unequaled as
soothing and healing local application, while
the Discovery puriies and enriches the blood
and imparts tone and vigor to the whole sys-
tenn.

Eucalyptus as a Cure for Rheumatism.

Anson Goodspeed, of this city, says
the Russian River (Cal. Flag, was some
time since afflicted with inhammatory
rheumatism. One ankle and foot swell
ed to nearly twice their natural size,
were exceedingly infamed and very
painful, and he could not use the limb
at all. Mrs. Goodspeed procured some
eucalyptus leaves, rubbed them to-
gether little, and without further pre-
paration bound them on in good guam
tity, renewing every hour and half or
two hours, as the fever rendered them
dry. In twelve hours he was much
easier, and in twenty-four hours the
limb could be used. This was the
speediest relief Mr.. Goodspeed had ex-
perienced in the many times that he had
been afflicted with the same disease.
A physician from San Francisco at this
time informed Mr.. Goodspeed that
knowing the excellent medicinal quail
ties of these leaves, he had already pre-
pared half ton for shipment East fol
medicinal purposes.

Breathing nIIusma Without Injury.

There is no exaggeration in the statement
that thousands Of persons residing from one
years end to another in fever and ague re-
gions on this Continent and elsewhere, breathe
air more or less impregnated with miasma,
without incurring the disease, simply and only
because they are in the habit Of using Hos
letters Stomach Bitters as preventive. II
has frequently happened, and the fact has
been amply attested by the parties themselves,
that persons surrounded on all sides by neigh
bors suffering the tortures of this sbiverine
and burning plague, have enjoyed absolute inn
munity from it, thanks to the protection az
forded by the Bitters. Nor is that standard
anti-febrile cordial less effcacious in remedy
ing than in preventing chills and fever bilioul

Taken between the paroxysms, it speedily miti

Mining Fish Ont of the Ice.

The Carson New appeal has the
following: In the general freeze which
has converted the lake into a sea of ice,
Emerald bay has been frozen solid. 1t
is one vast ledge of ice from the surface
of its transparent waters to the bottom.
More than ever is that beautiful bay a
gem of purest ray SERENE" crystalized
as it is and firm set within its rock
bound shores. From some cause best
known to themselves, the fish, especially
the trout, have fairl ly swarmed there.
When the great and sudden freezing
came it imprisoned them by hundreds Of
tons all over the bay. There they are
fixed, like bee in drop of amber. OF
course the fishermen of the Rubicon
and its neighborhood are reaping a rich
and novel harvest. The present abund-
ance of fish in the Carson market is due
to this remarkable occurrence. Monk
says that the bay presents wonderful
appearance. He says in all truthfulness
that Sailor Jack and some associates
have actually sunk winze in the ice be-
tween the boat landing and Captain
Dicks island, and that by dint of tunnel.
ing and sinking in the solid ice they are
actually mining out the imprisoned
trout by the cart-load. Hank says he
has an interest in one of these extra,
ordinary "claims," and that he has
every reason to expect prompt and nu.
merous dividends. This class of pheno
mena occurs only at rare intervals. In
1845, Back Cove, an arm of Casco bay
was scene of such freezing as this. All
sorts of salt water fish, such as frequent
the more shallow bays and estuaries
smelt, tom-cod, eels and founders were
frozen in and captured by the million
The tom-cod, when thus frozen, may be
thawed out in cool water and restored tt
life. For this reason this small mem
ber of the finny tribe is known as th'
"frost-fsh."
