In some states of debility, such as that
produced by recent illness of an acute
character, Iceland moss does much
good, it being not only a good bitter
tonic. but also highly nutritious one.
The dose of the decoction is about an
ounce and half twice OF thrice 4 day
and it may thus be prepared: To make
pint, you take l ounce by weight of
the moss, which you must first wash
well in cold water; this is then boiled
in "a pint of distilled water for ten min
utes in covered vessel. 1t is then put
into strainer while hot and gently
pressed, and afterward as much water
poured over the co.!tents Of the strainer
as will make up the pint.
From the vegetable kingdom we have
various bitter banks and roots of great
worth as tonics. Columbia root is very
bitter tonic, and Is exceedingly useful
In weakness of the stomach with an in
clination to vomit. A teaspoonful of
the tincture may be taken before meals,
with little infusion of oranges. Ca
lumba is not astringent; but if there is
constipation combined with the dyspep-
STA, the tincture of chiretta, mixed with
equal parts of the compound tincture of
gentian, and teaspoonful taken before
meals, will be found an abpeti.ing tonic
OF great value.
In cascarilla bark we find another
useful tonic, which, however, is rather
astringent than the reverse, and there
fore would be more useful where there
was a tendency to relaxation OF the
bowels, and so we give 1t as .corrob-
GRANT in long standing cases of diar-
rheea. It-and the same may be said
about most of these vegetable bitters-
forms capital vehicle for the admins
tratlon of .nofe powerful remedies.
This paper. would be incomplete if 1
did not mention that most valuable Bit
ter tonic, quassia. 1t is found exceed
ingly useful in cases of indigestion
where there is want of tone in the
stomach, and probably little or no ap-
petite. 1t is ono of the best tonics l
know In debility caussd by-or shall we
say succeeding? Quassia
also possesses some power in destroy
ing, if not expelling, worms.
Let me reFest, in conclusion, that no
one may expect benefit from a course of
tonic remedies unless taken under the
conditions have mentioned. TONES,
too, if they are to do any good, must be
taken for some considerable length of
time, and with great regularity. 1t is
also a good tlan to change them at
times-wc have plenty to choose from
and their usefulness is greatly aided
by temperance in eating and drinking,
saltwater bathing, an occasional mild
aperient, such as Friedrichshall water,
and plenty of onsn-air exercise, never
amounting to fatigue, bit Just suited to
the patients strength. Hurry and wor-
ry of all kinds should also be avoided
as much as possible,

A Wonderful Boston Medium.

Epes Sargent has discovered another
his faith. The new wonder is w. H.
Rowell of Boston. Mr.. Sargent thus
describes the first feat "The coat
sleeves of the medium were tied with
Irvine to remove suspicion of his using
any thing there concealed. He then al
lowed the whole company to examine
the fingers of his right hand. We were
free to wipe, rub with pumice-stone, or
wash with chemicals, his index finger,
the one to be used. Allowing me to
hold one end of large slate, while he
held the other, the medium then waved
his forefnger up and down four or five
times, and using the inside tip of it as a
pencil Immediately covered both sides
of the slate with writing as if from a
slate pencil.'' The medium also used
Mr.. Sargent's finger to write with, and
those of two ladies. Each felt slight
protuberance on the end of the finger,
as though from a blister. One of these
protuberances was chemically examin-
ed, and found to be composed of albu-
men, starch, phosphate of lime, and
phosphate of ammonia, with an amor
phous pigment matter without any
traces of lead, slate or other substances
ordinarily used for writing on states.
The browning marvel is thus described
by Mr.. Sargent: 1.-THE states had been
carefully washed by lady of the fami-
ly. The medium called for big slate.
l handed him one that had been thor
oughly cleaned under my inspection on
both surfaces. We stood up, the me-
dunn and I, close under the blaze of the
chandelier. 1 held one end of the slate,
and he the other. Without touching the
surface of the slate he made motions
over it with his forefinger in the air, as
if making drawing, and then writing
something. l reversed the slate, and
there on the under surface was draw
ing of q flower"

The New Order in Egypt.

Ismail Pasha has been compelled to
step dewn and out. His soh,,, Prince
Tewlik, mas ucceeded him as ..hedive
of Egypt. The Sultan, after great press
ure from the powers, more particularly
from Great Britain, signed an irode de-
posing 1smail and appointing Tewfik.
Sir Austen H. tayard, the British Am
bassador at Constantinople, it is re-
ported, semi-otI,cially threatened the
Sultan that If he did not disptace Is
mail the powers would act on their own
responsibility; and in that event Turkey
would eventually lose Egypt.
The Sultan's acquiescence only post
pones the evil day. Turkey has really
lost Egypt, as Egypt has long lost any
control over her own destinies. Tbs only
question now remaining to be settled is
to which of the powers will Egypt go.
The new ruler of the land of the Pha-
raohs will be puppet in the hands of
the English and French, with an occa-
sional suggestion from Germany. In
the fullness of time Egypt will probably
drop into the hands of England. Her
statesmen have the mania for the acqui-
sition of rritory. They have money.
John Bull can Re taxed always to add
another acre to her Majesty's dominions
and supply more places abroad for the
younger sons. England covets Egypt,
and Egypt will sooner or later fall a
prey to English greed. But the consum-
nation may be far distant.
Meanwhile, all changes but add to
the burdens of the wretched Egyptian
taxpayers. Ismail's deposition is NOM
inslly in the interest of good admins
tration, and yet its first result is to add
a permanent charge of $3.50, 900 per an
mum to the budget. This sum, it ap-
pears, is to be allowed to the deposed
ruler as pocket money for life. Ismail
is yet in the prime of life-he may live
for 20 or rs years to come. Probably
in addition to the vast amounts that his
reign has hitherto cost the unfortunate
Fellahs, his retirement is destined to
cost them 81, OOO, 900 or Sc, 100000
1t certainly pays to be Khedive on
the retired list. His salary is five times
that of the President of the United
States, while the salary is for life. And
what has Ismail done that he is deserv-
ing of this favorP Nothing. He is
probably no worse than the race of royal
extortioners and spendthrifts. But,
then, he is little better. What Is there
in his circumstances that suggests the
need of such royal bounty? Nothing.
Ismail is rich, very rich. He has been
expecting a rainy day, and has invested
his savings in consols and United States
bonds. He has diamonds of great ag
gregate value. He has plenty to live
upon for the remainder of his days, even
if he lived extravagantly. The people
of Egypt, on the contrary, are poor and
are growing poorer. The beggars are
to be taxed to support the millionaires.
The very least that England and France
could do is to pension off Ismail them
selves. His deposition is in their inter-
est and not in that of the Egyptians.
Why should the miserable Fellahs be
called upon to discharge the obligations
of the Western Powersp But might is
right and the Egyptians must pay and
say nothing.-New York Graphic.

under peculiar circumstances at New
Haven last week. Twenty years ago,
while in Hartford, he was bitten in the
leg by dog, and for 10 years the wound
remained running sore, causing him
considerable trouble and anxiety. At
the end of that time the sore was allow
ed to heal up, but the leg remained
purple color up to the time of his death.
Recently the limb swelled until it burst.
Two weeks ago he was in his usual
good health and worked all day. The
Sunday following he was taken with a
severe fainting fit, and being put to bed,

A Bridegroom Up a Plum Tree.

A sable widow of Brunswick, Ga, is
victim of mans infidelity. She had
allowed her affections to be entrapped
by dusky deceiver, and the time was
set for the wedding. She arrayed her.
self gotgeously on the appointed day,
and waited for the groom expectant.
She waited long and in vain, and final
ly, when suffering all the heart sickness
incident upon hope deferred, some of
her friends started out and declared they
would find " dat niger dead or alive"
But they failed to find him until the
next day, when he was discovered up
plum tree. He was unceremoniously
hauled down and brought before the
widow, and her friends insisted upon
sending for the preacher. She, how
ever, declared that she had had "nuff
'sperience wild dat niggar," and empha
sized her remarks with broomstick.-
