PALATABLE, POWERFUL, ANTIPERIoDIC
AND Tonic

~
All the necessaries of a great
popular remedy are combined in
Clifford's Febrifuge- AS a tonic, in
debilitated states of system, this
remedy stands pre-eminentlY at the
head. Yet it is more than is usually
understood by that term, for no
other preparation known exercises
an graduating power over intermit-
tent diseases, at all comparable
with it. AS it is probable that, IN
the interval of the paroxysms OF
these diseases a train of morbid
actions is going out of our sight, so
it is equally probable that this
remedy produces in the same sys
tenn an action equally mysterious,
which superseedes that of the ma
lady and thus accomplishes the
restoration of the patient.

Out of the large sum given above,
and used by the peddler to illustrate his
theory, eliminate the second row from
the top, and it will be seen that the sue
cessive rows when added together, make
nothing but mines. The total, with the
second row eliminated, would be
29999999997
Now add the second row
13590S236S
and the result is, of course,
313590S2365,
or the second row with prefix of 8 and
an addition of 81 to the last two fig
ures. The rule holds in every case, no
matter how large or small the sum, and
is to the effect that in adding up it is
only necessary to write first the number
of couplets Tin the above there are
three) then set down simply the num-
bers that are given in the inserted row
(Which may consist of any numbers ac-
cording to fancy, and at the end sub
tract the number of couplets from the
last figure in the inserted row. A little
practice, renders this work easy. 1t is
in reality nothing but trick. and is
valueless in ordinary computation:-

FASHION NOTES.

Velvet underskirts, with polonaises
of delicate fabrics, are largely worn.
Black satin mantles, trimmed with
jet and lace, have just been imported.
An ivory brooch in the shape of a
passion-hower exquisitely carved, is a
new design.
The amount of Swiss plating put
in the train of a dress renders long
white skirt unnecessary.
Ball fringe continues in favor; a
new design has large and small balls of
many-colored silk and beads.
-Walking-skirts are either very
few inches trained, and raised by the
hand, or quite clear the ground.
Pretty London women are divided,
according to the state of their hair, into
touhlers and non-touzlers.
Killed skirts are much worn, the
plaits turned one way, and faced round
the hem with crinoline lawn.
When polonaises are made with
wash dresses they are now quite short,
and are turned up in front in washer
woman style.
Wide belts, embroidered in gay
colors, like those worn generation
ago, are now fashionably used with
black silk in grenadine dresses.
Dinner and evening dresses are
made with long sweeping trains; those
intended for dancing or for toilets de
visite are not quite so long.
The fancy for vests enables eco
nomical ladies to remodel basques and
sacques that have become soiled in
front, or are too tight across the bust.
The most popular shopping-bags
are square, and are made of black vel
vet edged with lace, or else they are
crocheted with steel beads in the
meshes.
The Paris thread gloves fashioned
like kid gloves, long in the wrists, yet
with regular seams, like those of Bal
summer wear.
-"Boots and gloves that fit, and a
pretty handkerchief, answered the
French woman when challenged to name
three essentials of an elegant costume.
Instead of bracelets, bangles-witf
ornaments of emeralds, bugs, flies, rab-
bits and mice, formed of brilliants and
platina, others set entirely around with
diamonds.
Small white handkerchiefs, with the
edges scalloped and wrought with {
color, are formed in pretty plated bows
for the throat, to wear with morning
dresses.
White dresses for afternoons a
home are made of finely dotted Swis!

One of the Attractions of the Paris
Exposition.

The full story of the wonderful " suit"
of hair, seven feet long, shown at the
Paris Exposition, is thus told by cor
respondent: "The hair originally
graced the head of young Norman girl
belonging to n family named Merlot,
who were extremely poor, the mother
having been sick for several years. A
peddler knew the family, and, being
acquainted with their poverty, took ad-
vantage of their circumstances to offer
1GO francs (about S19) for the daughters
superb hair. The poor woman, to
whom the girls locks were her only
pride, absolutely refused to part with
them The daughter, however, who,
though scarcely II years of age, under
stood the great benefit of even that sum,
made sign to the peddler. Apparent

merchant retired. The young girl fol-
lowed him, and, though unable to re-
strain her tears ut the sacrifice, permit

hair has already refused $500 francs

DYING CONDITION
And her babe but three weeks old was
shown to her, atfording a consoling
thought in her dying hour.
A boy 8 or 10 years old cried all night
for his mother, the probability being
that his mother was among the killed as
none of the wounded women were ask
ing for boy of that description. About
daylight relief train came from Steu-
benville with three or four physicians,
three policemen, and ten or fifteen men
with half dozen stretchers. The
wounded were picked up and put in the
sleeping cars. There were eight killed
outright aud five more among the
wounded liable to die, besides some
thirty more among the list of wounded.
AN AFFECTING INCIDENT
occurred in the morning. An old lady,
who was badly hurt, was taken in the
rear passenger car. Her legs hung
down useless, badly crushed. She
made no complaint. In few minutes
afterwards her head fell backward over
the top of the seat and she was dead.
The wounded were taken back to Steu-
benville and the dead were brought in
on a subsequent train. Some of the
wounded died on the cars. We re-
manned until the regular train came
along on Wednesday, about IL O'Clock,
and embarked for st. Louis. In pass
ing the wreck we saw the mail-bags and
baggage protected by the policemen.

The general opinion is that the blame
is attached to the freight conductor and
engineer. The engineer of the passen

he heard of his death.

OF course the surprise lay in the ra-

latter operation being apparently done
from left to right instead of in the usu-
al manner.

The principle of the fraud, for it was
fraud, consisted in the willy peddler
taking advantage of the peculiar proper
ties of the number 8. 1t has long been
known among mathematicians that this
figure is capable of many strange feats,

Death of Missionaries in China.

A letter from Pekin, June 4, 1878, an
nounces the death of Rev. p. r. Hunt OF
the American Boards North China
Mission, and of several missionaries con-
nee. ed with other societies. Mr.. Hunt
was seized with typhus fever on the 18th
of May and died on the 3Oth. He was
born at Arlington, VT, January ~,
1916, and, after learning the printers
trade, went in 1889, with his wife, to
Madras, where he took charge OF the
printing establishment of the American
Board, and managed it with great sue
cess for 27 years. In 1866, on the re-
linuuishment of the Madras Mission, he
and his wife returned to the United
States, and after stay of a few months
went to North China in 1868 as Mission
aries of the Board. Miss Dedricken,
who had been in China for about year
under the auspices of the Church Mis-
sion of London, and was preparing to
take charge of girls boardiug-school,
died of the fever on the 11th of May.
Her death was was followed on the 18th
by that of Miss l.. A. Campbell of the
American Methodist Mission, who had
been in China two years, and was an in
dustrious laborer in the girls boarding.
school of the Mission with which she
was connected. Between these two
deaths came that of Rev. William N.
Hall at Tientsin. Mr.. Hall was mis-
sionary of the English Methodists, New
Connection, and died on the 14th OF
MAY, also of typhus fever. On the 25th
of May, Rev. j. S. Barradale of the Lon
don Mission at Tientsin, died of the
same disease, his wife having been car
ried off by it during the December pre-
vious. Rev. Albert Whitney of the
American Presbyterian Mission died on
the 25th of April at Shansi, where he
had gone to aid in the work of distrib-
uting aims to the famine-stricken peo-

A Peripatetic Teacher of Arithmetic.

Gentlemen, this is the new science
of arithmetic" said short and POM
pous individual, dressed in a broadcloth
suit, white vest, and silk hat, who was
haranguing curious crowd on WASH
ington Street yesterday afternoon. He
had better makeup than the common
run of itinerant peddlers, and he spoke
from an open carriage, upon the back
seat of which was huge stack OF PAM
phlets.
"I don't like to call myself bene-
factor of mankind,'' continued the ora
tor, "because it would sound egotistic-
al, and am only student, scholar
of humble pretensions; but may say
without boasting that have devoted
long life to the pursuit of mathematics.
There are people who pretend to say
that arithmetic is an exact science, and
that there is nothing discoverable in its
certain and known quantities, but they
are poor idiots who are content to fol-
low in the beaten track of their lllustri-
Gus but common-minded forefathers.
Yes, gentlemen, am proud to say that
l stand here to-day as the inventor or
discoverer of a new system OF mathemat-
les. can show any man in few min
utes method of lightning calculation
that would astonish the old-fogy savants

"A Constantinople correspondent of

Greek family in that city was inferred
in the Greek cemetery dressed il rich
silks and satins, with all her jewels,
which were of great value. A few
months afterward the body was ex-
humed for deposit in n family vault
which had been purchased, and was
found entirely stripped of her clothing
and jewels The police discovered the
thieves, the principal of whom was the
Greek Bishop who had officiated at the
funeral. The Patriarch degraded him
from his bishopric, but last year he was
reinstated and obtained diocese.

races, which attend the college in al
most equal numbers, recite together and
have exactly the same privileges. The
last commencement exercises of the in
stitution were attended by visitors
drawn about equally from each race.
1t will be surprise to many to
learn that there is at Pekin, China, a
college modelled after English institu-
tions. 1t has been in existence IA years.
Since 1869 its President has been A. p.
Martin, of this country, who writes en-
couragingly of its future, although it
had struggling existence for the first
few years. At first it was regarded
with hostility and jealousy by conserv-
atives about the throne, but it has al
ready developed into an institution of
Importance. A curriculum extending
over eight years has been established.
Its students, now upward of a hundred,
are educated at Government expense, to
