Those Useful

The kidneys and bladder, sometimes become
torpid and weak from unascertainable causes.
When this occurs, their discharging function
is of necessity very imperfectly performed,
and certain debris, which is the result of
natural bodily waste and decay, does not es-
cape as it should, but remains to corrupt the
blood and develop poisonous humors and
dangerous as well as painful diseases. 1t is
one of the beneicent effects of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters to gently stimulate the uri-
nary organs, and prevent them from lapsing
into a state of inactivity, always provocative
of their infammatory degeneration and de-
cay. How much better, then, is it to adopt
this mild diuretic as n means of melting them
to action, than to incur the danger of this de-
struction. To expel from the system waste
matter through the bowels and kidneys, and
to regulate and arouse the stomach and liver,
are among the chief uses of this valuable
ropnady

Calculating Machines.

Staffel has invented an arithmetical
machine In which three cylinders are SO
arranged that they can work all the
simpler rules of arithmetic, carrying
multiplication up to millions by
millions; If the machine is required to
give an impossible sum, such as SUBJ
tracing a large number from a smaller,
or dividing a smaller sum by q greater,
it refuses, and rings a bell as an ad-
monition.
Colmar invented an arithmometer in
which the action is rather by plates
sliding in grooves than by rotating
cylinders; like Staffel's, it can perform
addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division and evolution. Wertheimer,
by means of a metal plate with indexes.
notched teeth and holes, has contrived
an apparatus for adding and subtract
ing sums of money. Baranowski's in
vention is for calculating wages,
prices, interest, and other sums
of money; it is known as the
Ready Reckoner, and is worked by
means of a handle which reveals figures
or numerals in openings in a brass plate.
Schott, Lalanne, Roget, Maurel, Roth,
Slovinsks, and Scheutz have in like
manner invented machines for solving
arithnetical problems. OF these,
Schuetz's e1cites great admiration
among scientific men. Mr.. Babbage
highly e1tolled it, and deplored that it
had found a purchaser in America in
stead of in England. 1t can compute

How Greeley's Cousin Fixed the Stairs

In an out-of-the-way town in New
Hampshire lives an eccentric old farmer
named Greeley-an own cousin of the
lamented Horace, by the way-who
found his cellar stairs hard to climb on
account of the height of the steps. AZ
ter careful consideration, he hit upon
the device of mailing a piece of two-inch
plank on each, in order, he said, to
"bring 'em nearer together" and con-
tended hat he noticed "leetle fetch of

A New. British University.

There is every probability that a new
university, named after Queen Victoria,
will be recognized and chartered in the
North of England. Manchester will be
the headquarters; and of the affiliated
colleges, which will discharge the teach
ing function, while the university con
fines itself to examination, Owens Col
lege, Manchester, will be the first, Leeds
and other colleges will speedily join,
and Lancashire and Yorkshire, long
pre-eminent in industry, will strive for
cultivation in science and the liberal
arts. The scheme, says an Irish CORE
spondent, is likely to raise the tone of
society in the North of England, and
set an example which may be followed
in Ireland.

Two steam yachts, dashed together and con-

DueI w,,h Pocket.Nniye..

Burnet Gordon and John Cole, two farmers,
had a fight with pocket-knivcs in the streets of
Frankfort, KY, in which John Cole was killed.
Gordon was badly, but not dangerously
wounded, and was taken to Jail. The difficulty
grew ont of an old trouble about some dealings
in stock and q division fence between the two
men, both Of whom appear to be about forty
years ofage. Cole is represented by his neigh
bors to have been a desperate and dangerous
man, especially when under the influence of
liquor, which, it is said, happened about as
often as he came to town.
Less than an hour after this bloody tragedy
an encounter took place on st. Chair-strcet,
Frankfort, between the editor of the Round
about, Mr.. Claude Buckley, and Mr.. Frank
Hutchinson, Of the McGreary Guards, in which
the latter was considerably damaged by a blow
on the nose before mutual friends could inter
fere and prevent more serious results. This
little combat grew out of a %jocular article in the
last Roundabout, in which an attempted run
away match was described without mentioning
names. Hutchinson objected to having the af-
fair ventilated, even in a %jocular way, and de-
manded satisfaction, with the result as stated.

The Fl.herie. Award.

The consideration which the administration
has given to the questions of the fisheries award
since its payment, has served to strengthen the
conviction which most of our officials who have
given any attention to the subject held at the
time of the award, that it was in every respect
excessive and unjust. Very close and earnest
consideration is now being given to every
branch of the subject, and there is little doubt
but that all further correspondence of this gov
eminent with England, in regard to the matter,
will be of a character to satisfy those who hold
even the most extreme views in regard to the
unfair discrimination or Interpretation of the

Shocking Tragedy mt q Texas Camp
Meeting.

Last fall John Baker, a young mai of high
standing, was indicted by the Grand Jury Of
Guadalupe County, Texas, for the murder of q
young man named Exum Hullaman. After
examination Baker was released on bail, and
has since been at liberty. Tho murder being
exceedingly a~trocious Bakers release on bond
aroused the people, who talked of lynching him,
and the consequences was q division of the COM
munity tSeguin) in which Baker lived. Bitter
feeling was exhibited on both sides. The evil
dence was purely cirsumstantial, but rather
strong.
A few nights ago, Baker attended a Methodist
camp-meeting near Seguin, and while the min
lister was delivering the first prayer n loud pis-
toll report was heard, Baker falling dead. A
man had quietly forced his way through the
throng to where Baker stood beside q post sup
porting the arbor under which the services
were being conducted, and placed a pistol
against his right ear. The ball passed entirely
through Bakers head. Great excitement fol-
lowed, the prayer stopped and the meeting
broke up. 1t is feared a serious feud has been
engendered.
