of fellows knew just after 1 got my cash
and we resolved TO have quiet little
game of poker. Well, sir, never struck
such lead Of bad luck since l was born
as did that afternoon. 1t was a square
game, but if anybody won anything they
naturally intended to keep it. Men
don't have much pity for each other out
in that country. Well, the first thing /
done was to lose $500 on four queens. 1t

They were still there. got $50 on nv
pipe and sat down to play again. l won
little money and then l got my dog
back, then my revolyers, then my rife,
my mule, my watch and my horse. II

Good Advice to Parents.

Many parents labor under the mistak-
en- impression that their children must
all pass through the ordeal known as
children's diseases. and, as they some
times express it, the sooner the better.
a child is no more subject to disease lin
facts less SOY than an adut, If the proper
precautions are taken to regulate it's diet
and keep the system cleanscd by appro-
pirate medicines. By this we do not
mean an Eabitual dosing" with purga-
tives. Such q practice would weaken
the infant system 80 that it could not re-
sist the attacks Of disease, and would also
prove rninous to its physical constitution.
But moderate, or blood purifier, would
almost absolutely insure the child's sys-
tenn against disease, besides greatly pro-
noting it's vgor and strength. DIR.
Prices Golden Medical Discovery is un-
excelled as an Alternative, and will prove
a very eiicctual preventive of these dis
cases.

"OLD HICKoRY's" THANKS. The
Boston Transcript says that not long
after General Jackson's retirement from
the Presidency rumor got abroad that
he was bankrupt. This was too good a
chance of banter for the Wings, whose
detestation Of "Old Hickory" followed
him to his retreat at the Hermitage, to
neglect A Wing firm in Cincinnati
taking ironical pity on the old hero,
pasted two cards together, inserted two
of the large. old fashioned copper cents
between them. and inclosed them in an
unprepaid letter to the ex-President, full
of mock coincidence. The postage on
the letter was seventy-six cents, which
General Jackson, not knowing what was
within, promptly paid. He at once sat
down and penned a characteristic reply,
inclosing the two cents back to his would
be prosecutors. This reply they did not
see III to take out of the post office, and
it, found its way tn the Dead after nfIice
at Washington. The original is now in
the possession of Mr.. George NJ. Towle.

castle humor, as well as his bad spelling
and grammar, as will he seen:

Tile Use OF Lemons.

The lemon tree is n native of Asia.
although it is cultivated in Italy, Portu-
gal and in the south of France. In Eu-
rope, however, it seldom exceeds dimen-
sions of the smallest tree, while in it's
native state it grows to over sixty feet in
height. Every part of this tree is val
uable in medicine, though we rarely en-
plOy any of it but its fruit-that is, the
lemon itself; and every one knows how
to employ this, as in lemonude-to
squeeze the juice into cold water; this is
the shortest way; or to cut it in slices
and let it soak in cold water, or TO cut il
in slices and then boil it. Either way ia
good. Lemonade is one of the best ant
safest drinks for any person, whether ir
health or not. 1t is suitable to all stom.
acli diseases, is excellent in sickness.-in
cases of jaundice, gravel, liver com.
plants, Inflammation of the bowels and
feyers. 1t is specific against worms
and skin complaints. The pippins
crushed may also be used with water and
sugar, and be used as q drink. Lemon
juice is the best anti-scorbutic remedy
known; it not only cures this disease, but
prevents it. Sailors make daily use oi
it for this purpose. l advise every one
to rub thir gums daily with lemon. Juice
to keep them in health. The hands and
nails are also kept clean, white, soft and
supple by the daily use Of lemon instead
Of soap. 1t also prevents chilbiains
Lemon is used in intermittent fevers
mixed with strong, hot black coffee
without sugar. Neuralgia may be cured
by rubbing the part affected with cut
lemon. 1t is valuable also to cure warts
and to destroy dandruf on the head by
rubbing the roots of the hair with it. In
fact it's uses are manifold, and the more
we employ it externally and internally
the better we shall find ourselves. Ma.
tural remedies are the best, and nature is
our best doctor, if we would only listen
to it. Decidedly rub your hands, head
and gums with lemon, and drink lemon.

This is an old doctors advice.

THE GREAT Dispatches from
Buffalo give additional particulars Of the
leap of II. Z. Peer from the new suspen-
sion bridge at Niagara Falls into the
river hclo". = distance &C l9a.. fest. IIa
had on life preserver HI. thighs were
confined with an electric strap, and like
wise his feet. Over his shoulders was a
leather brace, with ring in the centre,
to which was attached n cable composed
of 220 feet OF No. 81 brass wire in six
strands. This was called balance, and
was for the purpose Of assisting to retain
his position, particularly if the wind
should be strong. 1t was reeled over a
cylinder attached to the guard rail oi
the bridge, and which was operated with
/: BRAKE handle, like that used upon old
time wells, so that the mans speed as he
descended could be controlled to GER
tain extent. 1t was not fastened, and
the final end followed the man into the
water. When the word was given Peer
went like flash, reaching the water in
four seconds. He pissed under the
water feet foremost, but soon reappearei
and swan ashore, not mt all worsted by
the leap.

Blackberry Wine.

About year ago we wrote some
what lengthy article upon the manufacture
of wine from the native blackberry, or
dewberry,properly speaking, which article
was extensively copied in all parts of The
South. Many of our subscribers and ac-
quaintances, taking our suggestions as n
guide, made large and small quantities,
with varying success. The season W.

ture of q moderate quantity of this
wholesome beverage, which in hot
weather possesses also great medical
virtues. 1t Is, par excellence, poor mans
wine.
In the briefest possible manner we re-
peat directions, which, if followed with
reasonable exactness, will give n wine
superior in quality to any imported or
native grape product.
Pick only ripe fruit, the lipcr the bet
ter. Remove all leaves, stems and other
trash as if preparing the berries for the
table. Take any large kettle (not an
iron one, )ill it half full of berries, adding
water to cover. Heat gradually to a
gentle boil. Have bag, made of coarse
muslin and clean whisky barrel with
one end out, or large tub will answer.
Pour the cooked berries and juice into
the bag, placing it in the barrel or tub.
Squeeze by wringing till as much as pos
sible of the juice has been extracted.
Return the juice to the kettle, add three
or four pounds o; sugar for each gallon OF
juice, heat the whole toj just boil and clar-
ify 1t AS if it we're syrup. BE careful not to
scorch. When finished, empty into a
clean, sweet whisky barrel, placed in the
position 1t is to occupy during the fer

OVER NIAGARA FALIs.-On Sunday,
May 25th, man by the name of opp
Walker, one of the best known charac-
tcrs at Niagara Falls, ended his life
by going over the cataract. lie was
the .:o-:c !c- !:iuo:, . failing = which.
he WAS frequently victim, and left Port
Day, some two ml.es above the falls,
about four o'clock. He endeavored to
pull over to the Canada side. lie had
often braved the rapids in this reckless
manner, and had he been himself would
probably have accomplished the feat on
this occasion. There were several hun
dred people on the banks of the river,
two excursions having gone from Buffalo.
Walker struck out boldly, but one of his
oars caught crab and was whirled into
the rapids. The boat dartcd around the
curve above the American Falls and
Walker splashed recklessly for minute
and fell backward across the seat. The
boat was now at the complete mercy OF
the current and hurried downward until
1t reached point about half mile above
the falls, when it struck rock and
swung wildly around. 1t was near the
shore and hopes were cnt"-.a .ained that
Walker would be saved. 1t was only for
a few seconds, however, for the boat soon
went to pieces. The Intoxicated man
seemed to revive when he went into the
water and threw up his arms and cried
for help. He grasped for piece of the
boat, but the wild current overcame him
and over the cataract he went. Walker
was about thirty years old. He has
saved ten or twelve lives around the falls.

The people in one Of the out-parishes Of
Virginia who wrote 10 DR.. John Holt Rice,
who was then at the head Of the theolog-
ical seminary in Prince Edward, for a
minister. They said they wanted man Of
trst-rate taleuts for they had run down
considerably, and needed building up,
They wanted one who would write we'll,
for some Of the young people were very
nice about that matter. They wanted one
who could visi. good DEAL for their former
minister had neglected that, and they
wanted to bring that up. They wanted a
man of very gentlemanIy department. And
so they went on TO describe perfect min.
lister. The last thing they mentioned was,
they gave their last minister $3.50; but if
the Doctor would send them such man as
they described, they would raise another
fifty dollars, making four hundred dollars,
The Doctor sat right down and wrote them

ton; and az DR.. Dwight had been living so
long on spiritual food, he might not need
