V-ESEETENE.

The following letter from Rev. c. W. Mansfield, formerly pastor of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and at present settled in Lowell, must convince every one who reads his letter Of the wonderful curative qualities of Negetine as q thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood.
 Hyde Park, Mass, Feb. 15, 1876. MT. II. R. Stevens.
 Dear Sir,-About ten years ago my health failed through the depicting effects of dyspepsia; nearly year later l was attacked by typhoid-iever in it's worst form. It settled in my back, and took the form of large deep-seated ab- seess, which was fifteen months in gathering. l had two surgical opera tions by the best skill in the state, but received no permanent cure. 1 suffered great pain at times, and was constantly weakened by prOfuse discharge. also lost small pieces of bone at differ ent times.
 Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when friend recommended me to go to your office, and talk with you of the virtue of Veg etine. did so, and by your kindness passed through your manufactory, not ing the Ingredients, &c., by which your remedy is produced.
 By what l saw aud heard 1 gained some confidence in Vegetine.
 l commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from its effects; still perse- yered, and soon felt it was benefitting me in other respects. Yet did not sec the results 1 desired till had taken il faithfully for a little more than year when the difficulty in the back wa, cured; and for nine months l have en. joyed the best of health.
 l have in that time gained twenty. five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and l was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few weeks 1 had { scroiulous swelling as large as my ifs on another part of my body.
 l took Negetine faithfully, and it re moved 1t level with the surface in month. l think l should have beer cured of my main trouble sooner if had taken larger doses, after having become accustomed to it's effects.
 Let your patrons troubled with scrof ula or kidney disease understand tha it takes time to cure chronic diseases and, if they will patiently take Vcge tine, it will, in my opinion, cure them With great obligations am
 Yours very truly,

 Pastor of the NJ. E. Church.

We not only tax our brains to invent
Fantastic" names for every new fabric,
varied perhaps only by q thread or
shade from what our grandparents wore
century ago, but there are in use posi-
tive misnomers for many staple articles
of merchandise. The following imper.
feet list will give faint idea of them:
Acid (sour), applied in chemistry to a
class of bodies to which sourness is only
accidental, and by no means universal
characteristic. Thus rock crystal, quartz,
flint, ETC., are chemical acids, though no
particle of acidity belongs to them.
Black lead does not contain particle
Of lead, being composed of carbon and
iron.
Brazilian grass does not come from
Brazil, or even grow there; nor is it
grass at all. 1t consists of palm leaf
(7hrinar argcntea) and is imported chief
ly from Cuba. y =.
Burgundy.pitch is not pitch, nor is it
manufactured in or exported from Bur-
gundy. The best is q resinous substance
prepared from common frankincense and
brought from Hamburg; but by far the
greater quantity is mixture of resin and
palm oil.
China, as name for porcelain, gives
rise to the contradictory expressions,
British china, Dutch china, Chelsea
china, etc., like woolen mile-stones, iron
mile.stones, brass shoe-horns, iron pens,
steel pens.
Cutie bone is not bone at all, but
structure of pure chalk, once embedded
loosely in the substance of certain species
Of cutie fish. 1t is enclosed in a men,
branous sac, within the body of the fish,
and drops out when the sac is open
ed, but it has no connection whatever
with the sac of the cutie fish.
Galvanized iron is not galvanized. 1t
is simply iron coated with zinc; and this
is done by dipping it in zinc bath con-
tanning muriatic acid.
German silver is not silver at all, nor
was the metallic alloy called by that name
invented by a German, but has been in
use in China time out of mind.
Honey soap contains no honey, nor is
honey in any way employed in its man
ufacture. 1t is a mixture of palm oil
soap and olive oil soap, each one part,
with three parts of curd soap, or yellow
soap, scented.
Japan lacquer contains no lac at all,
but is made from the sap of kind of tree
called Rhus veraicjera.
Kid gloves are not usually made from
kid skins, but of lamb or sheep skins.
| At present many of them are. made of rat
skins.-Journal Of applied Science.

"A new anecdote is told of Bishop
Peek, of Syracuse, N. Y. The Bishops
weight is between $50 and 400 pounds,
and when-in the dead vast and middle of
the night recently his bed crushed under
him, the gentleman at whose house he
was visiting ran up stars in great alarm.
"What's the matter, Bishop?" anxiously
inquired the host. Nothing at ALL"
groaned the clergyman; "Just tell
your wife if I'm not here in the morning
to look for me in the cellar"
- Prof. Klebs, of Prague, and Prof.
Tommasi, of Rome, have been examin-
ing, during the past spring, into the
physical poison which produces marsh
fever. They examined the lower strata
of the atmosphere of the Roman Cam
pagna and its soil. In both they discov-
cred microscopic fungus, consisting of
movable shining spores of long oval
shape. With these spores animals were
artifcially infected with intermittent
fever of the true marsh type, and they
showed precisely the same enlargement
of the spleen as human beings who have
caught the fever in the ordinary way.
Tommasi and Klebs have given this fun
gus the name of Bacillus malarie, as it
grows in the shape of small reeds.

A CONFEDERATE RELIC.-A Confed-
crate cap machine has been found in
Danville in some old rubbish, all COM
plete, but very rusty, and has no doubt
been lying in its present place ever since
the war. This machine was invented by
Mr.. w. H. Wash, of this county. In
May, 1861, Mr.. Wash was in Richmond,
where he found the government had en-
gagged Mr.. Debow, a Northern man, to
supply it in musket caps, that were then
in great demand. Debow asked Wash
down in the arsenal, and while looking
at it, Wash remarked that he could make
q better machine, and Gen. Dimmock
standing by replied tht it was very de-
sirable he should do so. He went to
Lynchburg, and there in the Phoenix
foundery, with A. Dabney g. Son, in
twenty-five days time he had produced a
cap machine that would make $4,000
good caps in ten hours. This he took to
Richmond and sold it to The Government
for 81, 900. He returned to Lynchburg
and made another machine, a great i'm
provement on his first, whose capacity
was $4,000 caps per day. of ten hours.
This he sold for $1,000. Shortly after he
made the third machine, which would
make 10000 caps per hour, four different
sizes of caps, and it was placed in the
arsenal under Gen. Dimmock's super
vision. The Yankee papers at the time
pronounced it Ga big Confederate lie."
On the evacuation Of Richmond Mr..
Wash was ordered to Lynchburg with
these machines, five of them, and this
last, the 10000 per hour machine, was
loaded on two horse wagon and taken
through the country to Lynchburg, and
thence to this city, where it has been ever
since. 1t is, perhaps, one of the most
prominent relics in the South of the late
unpleasantness.-Danvile Na.) Post.

LARGEST BEE FARM IN AMERICA
The Canada Farmer pronounces the bee
farm of D. A. Jones, near Beeton, Onta-
rio, the most extensive and successful in
the country. 1t consists of four bee
yards, each covering about an acre of
ground, carefully enclosed, and contains,
besides the hives and summer store
rooms, house for wintering the bees.
The hives used are oblong, pine wood
boxes, with cubic capacity of 3,24O
inches, the inside measure being fifteen
by eighteen by twelve. Mr.. Jones four
bee yards contain 250, $50, and 70 of
such hives respectively, and he reckons
10000 bees a good swarm for one OF
them. Atthe end Of July Mr.. Jones had
secured $4,000 pounds of honey from 62O
stocks of bees. He expects total yield
for the year of 10000 pounds of honey
from his 100000 little workers, in
which case he would net between $1,000
and $4,000 for the years product, with
out taking into action tie sale of swarms
or of queen bees. This successful apiarist
estimates the years total outlay at 81, 100,
nearly half of which, however, is interest
on capital which has grown up with the
business.
