Advice 10 Con.umptives.

The celebrated physician, DIR. Paul Memey-
er, gives the following valuable suggestions
to persons suffering from lung affections !:
"The patient must with scrupulous conscien-
tiousness insist upon breathing fresh, pure
air, and must remember that the air of closed
rooms is always more or less bad =
No man, however uncleanly, would drink
muddy, dirty water. A party which occupies
q room for hours breathing the same air,
might be compared TO a party Of bathers
drinking the water in which they battle. The
patient must keep the window Of his BEDROOM
open. Night air is fresh air without daylight.
In close, crowded rooms, the patient suffering
from lung complaints breathes consamptive-
~" By taking these precautions and using
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
Pleasant Purgative Pellets, fully one-half of
the cases of lung complaints would be cured
In six months. For cough and irritation of
the lungs do not always indicate the presence
Of consumption, although 1t may result in
that disease, and IL consumption has not al
ready become deeply seated in the system,
this is the most Efficient course Of treatment
that can be pursued outside Of any inst:tu-
ton that provides special facilities for the
treatment Of this disease. DIR. Pierce's cele-
brated Invalids' Hotel Is such an institution.
Send stamp for descriptive pamphlet contain
ing also a complete treatise upon consump-
ton, explaining its causes, nature, and the
best methods Of treating it. together with vai-
liable hints concerning diet, clothing, exer-
else, etc, for consumptives. Address Fac

CALIFORNIA; new industry is the
cultivation of the raisin-grape. 1t is
perhaps already known that a gentle
man in that State has sent East last year
two carloads of California raisins, each
car containing 10000 pounds. One load
came to Boston and the other to New
York. He believes that when his vines
get in bearing order he will be able to
ship each year from Is to 90 carloads
of 10000 pounds each. This is the
greatest raisin consuming country in the
word, and if it could become profita-
BILE raisin-producing country as well,
another element of prosperity would
be added to our varied industries.

4 Humorous Governor.

Mr.. Barry, in his work, "Russia in
$780," tells the following story of the
time when slavery was an institution in
that country: A certain ironmaster
caused man who had offended him to
be locked up in an iron cage, and kept
him confined in it for length Of time.
At last, while he was absent on a jour
ney, the case of his wretched prisoner
came to the knowledge of the Governor
of the province. The Governor caused
the man, cage, and all, to be brought to
the Government town, and invited the
tyrannical iornmaster to dinner. After
the dinner was over the Governor sent
for quail in wooden cage, and Offer
ed to sell it to his guest for 10000 rOu-
bles. The offer being treated as joke,
the Governor said he had more vslua-
BILE bird to sell, and told his servants to
bring it in. Folding doors flew open,
and the iron cage with its miserable
captive was set down before the aston
ished guest. Now' said the Govern
or " what do you think of that for a
quail! But this is very expensive bird
| want 10000 roubles for him." "All
right" said the alarmed proprietor.
81 will buy this one; send him down to
my works without the cage, and your
messenger shall bring back the amount :"
The matter was thus pleasantly settled,
and the company adjourned in undis-
turbed harmony TO their coffee.

Matthews on Grant.

WASHINGTON, December 0.-Stanley
Matthews left last night for Ohio. He
stated to your correspondent that he had
no doubt General Grant would be q can
didate for the nomination before the Re-
publican Convention, and believed he
would get 1t. He thought Ohio would
present and support Mr.. Sherman, but
believed that General Grant would re-
ceive the support of New York, Penn
sylvania and part of New England.
He thought the outlying States in the
West and on the Pacific slope would ia
or Blaine. He said that he had noticed
some decline in the Grant tide since he
arrived at Chicago, but was Of opinion it
would rise again and bear him success
fully into the Presidency. He believed
the South would be for Grant in the
convention, though Mr.. Sherman's can
didacy might somewhat divide it.
As to the Senatorial contest In his own
State he was of opinion that the fight
would be ultimately narrowed down to
a contest between Garfield and himself.
Governor Foster and Secretary Sherman
professed neutrality, anc he believed
Them sincere in their professions. Botll
of them were out of the race in a ny and

From the Bay City Chronicle
and Tribune we learn that "on Tues
day the startling news of the
drowning of four fishermen on the
bay was brought to this city by a
man who had just came in off the
ice. He says that during the
snow sqnall of Friday last two
men and a team were drowned
when about four miles off Oak
Grove, while trying to reach shore.
And on Saturday that two French
men, residents Of Banks, had
persisted in a similar manner with
in short distance of Quanicasse.
He reports the storm of Friday
one of the severest that ever visit
ed the bay. He had his hands,
ears and feet frozen, and several
other fishermen narrowly escaped
with their lives"
