The attention of the people of this city

OF deaths reported 10 the papers from that
dreadful disease, CONSUMPTION. 10 fact,
this disease is reported to be constantly
increasing, as can be seen by examining
the mortality list, and all caused by no:
breaking up slight cough or cold as soon
as it appears, which can be easily done by
using HALEs' HONEY OF FOREGROUND AND
TAR, an article which was discovered by
the late DR.. Hale,s celebrated physician Of
Europe, and used in his private practice
for many years with great success. The
present proprietor, believing this market
required just such an article, has purchas
ed the same at large outlay. and is now
preparing it according 10 tie original re

Grant in the ORIENT.

The passage of General Grant around
the world, so far from losing its interest
as the wonderful journey has gone on,
has grown more and more remarkable as
one country after another has taken up it's
share in the amazing ovation that. if he
lives, Is to circle the globe with its con-.
tinuous honeFes2zEu Europe, -Africst, Asia,
have each in turn received this little par
ty of Americans, and paid to the eX-Gen-
eral and ex-President the highest tributes
of respect, in many instances going far
beyond the honors usually offered to inn
perial or royal dignities. And the latest
of these Oriental receptions have exceed
ed in official and popular demonstrations
all that have preceded them, The whole
tour has been one 8naZing pageant, ,&and
yet nothing has in all respects euualed
the entry of Americas soldier and ruler
into Canton. While vulgar demagogues
and corrupt politicians and timid time
servers at home are snariing out their
hatred to the Chinese and seeking to drive
them from our shores, China herself
opens her great commercial metropolis to
General Grant with a splendid welcome,
so genuine, so dignitied, so imposing, that
America can not ignore the unintended
but unavoidable rebuke that comes back
to her from Canton.
The miserable little town of Cork un-
dertook to visit upon General Grant a
and treated him with 4 stupid insolence
that brought upon that town the contempt
of the world. China, with grand cour-
tesy, receives the wOrld-renOWned Amer
lean with her highest honOrs, and teaches
ChristendOm one of those lessons that it
has spent millions in trying to teach her.
The world has never seen a grander
spectacle than the passage of General
Grant through the streets of Canton,
| lined with two hundred thousand silent,
wondering people, gath red at his own
| ttsqnest, not that they might see him but
.lt tllat ne mightssee them. The single fig
ure Oh General Grant, destitute of all the
tI t[app pl5ngs y OF official state, passing through
/ tnose uehse masses of Chinese humanity
I to receive the greetings of the Viceroy Of
Canton and his assembled dignitaries,
makes wonderful picture that takes on
an added Intensity of effect from the
startling contrast OfAmerica's treatment
ofthe Chinese who have sought refuge on
| her shores.

Good Horses and Wen kept.

A poor horse is poor piece of proper
tv, because with horses we employ labor
at high prices, and if the team is unable
TO do full-day's work, part of this labor
is wasted. Generally, with superanuat-
ed horses, enough more has been fed in
grain and meal to largely increase the
necessary expenses. / would always feed
a team we'll; but with strong, young
horses, this extra feed will go to extra
work, and thus diminish its cost. To keep
infirm horses at work involves greater eX-
pense, as much of their feed is needed to
keep up their vitality. A team of horses
each weighing 200 pounds or over, and
from five to ten years old, can do an i'm
mense amount of work If well fed and in
hands willing to pat them through. The
great satisfaction in using such team
comes from the fact that they will not
probably be Injured by any work they
are likely to be put to.
In keeping team of work horses, !
would seldom turn to pasture, and then
| for very brief time after midsummer,
| and when there was no pressing work to
/ be done. Horses at hard work cannot be
pastured profitably, and if they are stron g
md healthy, are better in the stable than
anywhere else. Able-bodied men can
| work all through the summer, six days
Iut of every seven and take no injury.
There is no reason why able-bodied horses

He who has not seen the sun rise from
the topof Mount Etna has a great deal to
learn about the immensitV and beauty of
nature just as the sun rises, an immense
shodow of the most exquisite purple is
projected from the volcano half over. the
island, while without its range the light
strikes with magic suddeuness upon the
tops of the mountains below. The range
of the view is almost boundless-Catani
Syracuse, and even Malta: the Tyrrenian,
the Zonian and the Africa seas are Visi-
Bile. Castro Giovanni stands up on its
| rock, conspicuous in the center of the
| island, while the distant Apenniues of
Calabrla and Apulia, and the entrance of
/ the Faro of Messina,- WithmthezHa medieval
towns of Reggie and PiZZo, appear in the
far east, seemingly bot asmilei distant
The crater presents itself as real val
/ ley, profound, uneven, with hollows and
promontOries formed by masses of lava
that have rolled in all directions, ever en-
crOaching upon some other. The walls of
the crater are jet black and steel gray in
color, inteFspersed with the most beauti-
ful blush, reddish, greenish and golden
veins. A graye-like silence usually pre-
walls. A thousand smoke stacks noise
lessly emit long trails of white vapoFs that
go slowly TO break against the sides of the
crater.
While the ascent of the cone takes at
least two hours, the descent is done in five
minutes. AT the base of the cone stands
the tsTower Of the Philosopher" and
farther below, the "English House. y
The latter was originally built by, the
Gemellaro family, who, for three gener-
ations, have devoted their lives to the
; study of Etna. This house is the night
resting place of the tourist who desires to
see the sun rise from the summit. It has
been several times destroyed and rebuilt
once by an Englishman. and hence the
! name by which it is distinguished, though
it should, in justice, be called after its
founder. The eruption of 1865 having
: again destroyed it, it was again rebuilt al
; the expense of Humbert, then crown
: price, now king of Italy.
The tower of the Philosopher is a small
. ruined edifice to which legends have at
> tributed various purposes. The remOtes
of them affirms that it was the dwelling
place of EmpedOeles, but it is probably
, tomb dating from the time of the Roman
i, Empire. The old story is that EmpedO

I he fell in accidentally while pursuing hi

IS sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are

exercise would be beneficial to him,

tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the

cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,

have been extensively deranged.t

Here it may relieve us, when the mer-
curry has crept up into the nineties, to
think of town which Humboldt and
other travellers have pronounced the

that name in Eastern Siberia, on the left
bank of the River Lena, latitude 62 degs.

ually frozen to the depth of 300 feet, ex-

feet at the surface. During ten days in
August the thermometer marks So degs.
but from November to February it ranges
from AZ degs. to SO degs. below zero, and
the river is solid ice for nine months out
of the twelve. The entire industry of
the place-population about 5,000-is
comprised in candle works, and vet it is
the principal market of Eastern Siberia
for traffic with the hunting tribes of the
Jakats and Buriats. The former, mostly
nomadic, having large herds of cattle and
horses, bring to market butter which is
sent on horseback to the port of Okhotsk.

w,IlIam AlIen ana HIS Great sorrov,

The domestic life of Mr.. Allen is said
to have been very happy one. When
he was candidate for Congress he sought
the hand of Miss Macarthur. She married
Colonel Coons, of Louisiana, but long
after, when she had become widow, he
sought her again. lie was married in
1S45, and two years after Mrs. Allen died,
leaving an infant child, since grown to be
the head of the old MANS household. The
death of Mrs. Allen occurred in Wash
ington, and he carefully carried back
her remains to Chillicothe for burial, re-
fusing to trust them to the hands ofstran-
gers. All that long journey he rode be-
hind the coffin on horseback. When the
night came he would have it carried to
his room in the hotel; and so a week was
passed in this mournful journeying.-
Then after the burial he went back to
Washington and his public duties; but
the plHgehHtl grown iistastefttf to him,
and he was glad to retreat, to his quiet
home and his books, and the care Of his
orphaned child.--Neso York Tribune.

The Iron Age, speaking Of the situation
around lPittsbarg, says: General busf-
ness, it is worthy of notice, is. holding
out better that ushal at this season of the
year. Our manufacturers generally, not
withstanding we are now in the midst of
what is usually termed, the dull season,
are pretty we'll supplied with orders, and
some of them will be unable for the pres
cut to stop for repairs. Our iron and steel
mills are nearly all busy, many of them
working up to their full capacity, and
what is equally important, values have
stiffened up materially, particularly as
regards iron, an advance in which is I'M
doubtedly near at hand, and we think that
the long-lOOked for change for the better
has actually taken place. Manufacturers
here in Pittsburg and throughout the
West have had pretty severe time of it
within the past few years, owing to a
fierce competition. It is fair, we think,
to infer that those who have passed
through the ordeal Of the past five or six
years, have but little to fear in the fu-
tuFe. -

An examination of the records of the
Pension Bureau up to the Both day of
June of the present year shows that I3,-
$50 arrears of pension cases, representing
the sum of 81 ,220, ,572,44, had already
been paid, or were ready for payment, on
that day. They were distributed among
the several agencies, as nearly as practi-
cable, in proportion to the number of
| pensioners upon the respective agency
rolls as follows: Boston, $50; Canand-
aigua, 946; Chicago, l ,227; Columbus,
| l ,29G; Des MOines, 760; Concord, S42 :;
Detroit, 665; indianapolis, 1,O71; Knox
! Vile, 1853; Louisville, 331; Milwaukee,
6S8; New York 1000; Philadelphia,
1895; Pittshurg, 692; ST. Louis, 864
| Washington, 965; San Francisco, 80. Up
| wards of Q 900 cases were settled in June.
| The Commissioner of Pensions expects to
be able to pay an equal, if not Il greater,
number monthly until all are settled
Sixty-three thousand three hundred and
seYeDty-tWO persons have made claims
for arrears, bHr, including IL, $50 already
settled, not more than ,000 or $4,000
persons who are already pensioners have
arrears due them. Many, therefore, who
apply are not entitled to arrears. The
Commissioner expects that nearly all who
Eare entitled will be paid by the end of
4Dctober. With regard to the order OF
settlement, he'says that the act Of JAN
nary 25th established every pensioners
right at the same moment. The pension
er was required to make an application for
his arrears mainly for the purpose of en-
abling the Pension Office to. more easily
identify the papers; but the date of filing
such application is not taken into ac-
count in liking the order of settlement
It is not practicable to observe any order
of settlement except so far as may be
necessary to secure an equitable distri-
button throughout the country.
