A Specimen OF PergamSan Art.
TGalignani's MeSseuger.l

During the past week there have been
received at the Berlin Museum the re.
mains of a colossal altar, celebrated in
antiquity as one of the most splendid
works of art of the Kings of Pergamos
On all sides of it are marble reliefs repre-
senting the struggle between the gods
and the giants. The remains of these
sculptures had been for the most part
built into the old city wall of the By
zantine period. Here it was that they
were first discovered by the civil
engineer, M. Karl Hamann, who has rem
dered great service in the way of
researches in Asia Minor. 1t was he
who furnished to the Berlin Royal
Academy of Sciences the first plan of
Pergamon. The fragments of the colos-
sal relief were purchased for the Berlin
Museum in 1872. They were the first
authentic specimens Of Pergamean sculp-
ture. NE search for the missing monu-
ment has been persistently carried on
since then, and the fragments obtained
are sufficiently numerous and connected
to permit US to commence real study
of Pergamean art.

The Liver and Its Diseases.

The liver is g'andular organ of large
size, intended mainly for the secretion of
bile, but eifecting also important changes
in certain constituents Of the blood in their
passage through the gland. 1t is the larg-
est gland in the body, weighing from fifty
to sixty ounces, and is consequently Of
great importance. but subject to many dis
orders, such as Inflammation. Neuralgia,
Congestion, &c. Its functional disorder is
Excessive Secretion, causing Jaundice, Bill
ious Collie, Bilious Diarrhna, and Cholera
Morbus. Deficient secretion cause Clay
Colored or Whitish Stools. Constipation,
Intestinal Uneasiness, Gastric Derangement
and Mental Depression. Jaundice and Dys-
entery, however, are also among its fire.
ouent results. Initiated Secretion some
times becomes very acrid, producing vio-
lent gastric and intestinal pains and even
spasms
The Importance of attending to these
functional disorders of the liver in their
early stages can not be too strongly i'm
pressed Oh the minds of the sufferers, as at
this period they may be arrested with the
utmost facility by the use of Swedish Bit
tiers. and thus be prevented from running
on into diseases not only painful but high
ly dangerous, and many times fatal When.

hepatic functions, the alvine excavations

should be corrected by Immediately taking

rections on the package. Fri

making it; but in the Middle States,
Western, and even in New England,
where it is better made, as claimed, than
anywhere else. The chief trouble is
ignorance as to the method Of working
butter. Comparatively few work out the
buttermilk, and consequently the butter,
however sweet at first, will not keep. A
great many people, fortunately for their
palates, have no good idea what butter
is, being actually incapable OF telling
good from bad. But great many
others know so well that they can not
eat any.

Condition, but that is becoming more
and more scarce.
In storing potatoes several methods are
adopted, which are practically the same,
the object being to protect them against
freezing, whether buried in pits or stored
in cellars. The first consideration is to
keep them in perfect darkness; the next
is, the bins should not be too deep-not
over three feet-to produce warmth and
cause them to sprout. If in cellars,
barns or otherwise, the bins should be
covered with rugs, old carpetings, OF
straw. Those intended to be kept for
late spring sales should be frequently ex-
amined, and all sprouts removed; for as
soon as potato begins to sprout it loses
its solidity, dryness and quality.
Few men have had the pleasure Of
routing leopard with an ,ox-whip, but
such was recently the fate of 'Bdster"
Gibbons, noted Texan. The Kerville
Frontiersman says that Gibbons was
cooking his breakfast IN the woods at the
head of Cypress Creek about week ago
when a leopard, being hungry, advanced
growing. Gibbons snapped bis rife at
the beast, but the powder didn't happen
to be dry. and 80 throwing aside his gun
he clutched his ox-whip. The leopard's
white teeth became more threatening,
but when Gibbons cracked the whip over
his head, moving towards the animal, il
turned tail and made for the woods. GO,

An Appeal for Home Merchants.

intimately identified with the general
business prosperity of the city, and
they have, as we have said, just cause
for the complaint that people do not
commercially assist them. If, instead
of getting trusted here at home when
they are out Of cash, and sending to the
East for supplies when they are in
funds, our people would spend this
money here among ouranerchants, we

one of them in has hand and held his

ball had vanished But the most mar-
velous feat / witnessed was the me gic
tree trick, if it can be called a trick.
The performer was an old man, and
executed his feat in the open air, before
scores of spectators. He first drew,
with his wand, circle on the
ground some ten, feet in circuh-
ference; he then exhibited a
mango seed, which we all closely ex
amined; taking the seed he placed it in
the center of his magic circle, covering
it with cloth, over which he sprinkled
q little fwater, he 'theu veiksd slowly
around the circle repeating his incanta-
tions; then standing with his hands
over the cloth, he repeated another
prayer, and then with his wand raised
5he cloth and we beheld perfect man

The tree was torn up and the seed was
shown, bursted and clinging to the per-
fest roots of the tree.
