A Lot of Courses.

The Vermont editors at their Cony Island dinner were not as well taken care of as the editors of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania were at Cape May. The Burlington Free Press says there were ten courses, describing them as follows "The first course, served after long waiting, was vegetable soup. The next course was plates. These, after quarter of an hour or so, were whipped off by the walters and second course of plates of excellent stoneware, very much like the others, only little warmer, were served. The fourth course was boiled fish, very we'll cooked and palatable; but without sauce or dress ing. Fifth course, white plates. Six course, raw tomatoes in slices-a single dish being set in the centre of table of fifty persons. It proved ample, how ever, as no small plates or forks or other means of getting the slices to the mouths of the guests were provided. Sixth course, more fish. Seventh course, plates. Eighth course, plates, little warmer than course seventh. Ninth course, ice cream and cake. Tenth course, tooth picks"

The " Mortimer 0 at Vera Cruz.

A correspondent writes from Vera Cruz as follows The harbor may be us smooth as glass, as 1t very often is the guards asleep against the gate-posts l; everything burning up under the sun. In considerably less than 10 minutes everything is changed. A whiff of cool air strikes the soldiers and wakes them up. and they see the storm coming-a little black cloud, growing larger every minute. Almost before they have time to slam the Custom House gates the wind is blowing furiously, and the air is full of sand, most of which goes into peoples eyes. The harbor is soon full of big waves, and the ships are tossing around as if they were in mid-ocean. Every steamer gets up a full head of steam so that she can put to sea in case of her cables breaking, as they sometimes do. Small fishing vessels within sight of land do not dare try to get in, but put out into the Gulf.
 The water becomes almost as white os milk, from the stirring of the coral So l on the bottom, and in a few minutes th waves are breaking over the top of tht Custom House, 50 feet high, washing it's roof. Sometimes they come with such force that when they strike the solid wall of the Custom House, they shoot up into the air hundred feet or more and the Vera Cruzans, instead of getting into the strongest draught they can find and enjoying good breeze from our Northern country, like sensible people, wiring their hands in dismay and say, Y" What wretched weather" Cor Spanish words to that effect). The northers often last three or four days, and cool off the whole country, even up on the table-lands and all the way over to the Pacific coast. While they last, business in all Mexico is suspended only along the coast, where the natives seem to consider themselves in great danger of freezing to death, but in the noun tain-side cities and up on the high table ands

A Brave Old Man.

John Hulsoff is a farmer who lives near Coleville, McKean county, Pa. When the Bradford oil excitement arose he sold portion of his farm for con- siderable sum, and since then has kept large amounts of money in his house, although he is living alone. Yesterday two men came to the house and asked for drink of water. He got up from the table where he was eating his dinner and went to the cupboard for glass. As soon as his back was turned the men garroted him and beat him about the head with club until he was insensible. He was then gagged and his hands and feet tied with clothes line. The rob- bers then began to search for the cid mans hidden cash. They could not find it, although they spent considerable time in the search. While they were thus engaged Halsoff regained consciousness. By working energetically he contrived to loosen his hands, although he fairly peeled the skin off from them in the effort. He then unfastened the other cords and went out of the house to the wood pile, where he got keen edged axe.
 With undaunted courage, although he was bleeding from his wounds and in great pain, Hulsof, who is over sixty five years of age, entered the room where the robbers were and attacked them. A desperate fight ensued in which the old man was victorious. He cut all the fin gers off the right hand of one man and chopped lump of flesh from the leg and arm of the other, aad hit him on the head with the back of the axe. The men then retreated in bad order, and Hulsof went to neighbours house and gave the alarm.
 That night the man who had lost his fingers went to doctor to have his hand dressed and was arrested. The other man has not been found. Both robbers were woodchoppers, whose desire for wealth had been aroused by the stories of Hulsoff's hoarded cash. It is feared that the plucky old man will not recover from his injuries.

The Prince Imperia's Prayer.

The following IS the translation of 8 prayer written by the late Prince, and found among the papers in his dosk:
 My God: I give to Thee my heart, but give to me faith. Without faith there is no strong prayer, and to pray is longing of my soul. I pray, not that Thou shouldest take away the obsta- cles on my path, but that Thou mayest permit me to overcome them. I pray. not that Thou shouldest disarm my ene- mics, but that Thou shouldest aid me to conquer myself. Hear, O God, my prayer. Preserve to my affection those who are dear to me. Grant them happy days. If Thou only givest on this earth certain sum of joy, take, O God, my share, and bestow it on the most worthy, and may the most worthy be my friends. If Thou seekest vengeance upon man. strike me. Misfortune is converted in- to happiness by the sweet thought that those whom we love are happy. Hap piness is poisoned by the bitter thought; while I rejoice, those whom I love a thousand times better than myself are suffering. For me, O God! no more happiness. Take it from my path. I can only find joy in forgetting the past. If forget those who are no more shall be forgotten in my turn; and how sad the thought which makes one say, ssTime effaces all!' The only satisfaction I seek, is that which lasts forever, that which is given by tranquil conscience. O, my God! show me ever where my duty lies, and give me strength to &C., complish it always. Arrived at the term of my life, I shall turn my looks fear lessly to the past. Remembrance will not be for me a long remorse. Then shall be happy. Grant, O God! that my heart may be penetrated with the conviction that those whom love and who are dead shall see all my actions. My life shall be worthy of their witness, and my innermost thought shall never make them blush.

Where Ignorance Was Bliss.

A remarkable story, showing the great advantages of ignorance, is told of a French cook who won prize in the late lottery. She had felt certain, long be- fore the drawing of the prizes, that No. 27 would turn out winner; and she managed to buy it, and awaited the re- suit with anxiety, but without fear. The list came out in due time, and surely enough No. 27 had won big prize. Her master, therefore, questioned her about it, asking to be informed why she felt so sanguine. The explanation was simple. Why, sir," she replied, "I dreamed three nights running that No. 8 would be alucky number; that is how I came to be sure, because three times eight is twenty seven" This cock does not in the least agree with the poet who said that little knowledge is danger. ous thing she had very little knowledge, indeed, of arithmetic, but found the re. suit quite satisfactory.

T c Chinese SWindler.

The Chinese swindler is the sharpest in the world, beyond doubt, and the fol- lowing incident, narrated by Foochow journal, is an example in point A na- tive bullion broker recently called at a gold shop and offered four gold bars for sale, stating that the bars weighed alto gether only 3s taels, instead of 40, the proper weight. The dealer then weigh ing them found that his customer was mistaken and that the bars weighed 5 taels more than they should have, rather than 2 taels less. Thinking to make a good bargain, therefore, he bought the bars as weighing only 38 taels, and readily gave an acknowledgements in writ ing that they weighed only that amount. A subsequent examination showed the bars to be partly iron, but he could not prove that he bought them of the swim dler, who had written document to show that the bars he had sold weighed only 38 taels, while the adulterated ones weighed 45.

Plants Protected by Insects.

MT. Francis Darwin in a lecture on " Means of self-defence among plants, !" delivered at the London institution, said that one of the most curious forms of defence known is afforded by a recently discovered class of plants, which being stingless themselves, are protected by stinging ants, which make their home in the plant and defend it against it's enemies. Of these the most remarkable is the bulls horn acacia (described by the late MT. Belt in his book the Naturalist in Nicaragua J, shrubby tree with gigantic curved horns from which it's name is derived. These horns are hollow and tenanted by ants, which bore hole in them, and the workers may be seen running about over the green leaves. If a branch is shaken the ants swarm out of the horns and attack the aggressor with their stings. The chief service to the plant consists in de- lending it against leaf-cutting ants, which are the great enemy of all vegeta- tion in that part of America.-Ec.

Flunkeys-HOw they are Despised.

Among all classes of men it is diff cult to find any more despicable than funkeys.
 There are persons who hang on to statesmen occupying exalted public positions or who have occupied, or ex- pect to occupy such, like leeches. Nothing can detach them. They fool ishly imagine that they themselves shine in the borrowed light.
 It is the same way with the rich. Grown up men-at least, creatures made in the form of man-follow after the possessors of large fortunes and toady them, and fawn upon them, as if they were acquiring an honorable distinction through the association.
 How little these poor creatures imag- inc the extent of the contempt felt for them !
 A man is in reality ranked according to what there is of himself-and not bv the more important personages, to whom, in spite of their manifest con- tempt, he adheres.
 A sycophant is out of place in this free country.-Ledger.

Hints on Archery.

The Detroit Free Press has the fol- lowing hints on the game now so fascin- ating with the ladies. It says:
 Hundreds and thousands of young ladies in Detroit have set up target and drawn the bow, and dozens and scores of doctors have pulled down their signs and moved to Toledo since this healthier outdoor amusement was inaugurated. Here and there an archer or an archer ess obtained printed rules and instruc- tions to guide the game, but the great majority string up the bow, hang up the target, and whang away without in- telligence. The following rules will apply to all and every locality:
 Don't attempt to hold the bow in both hands when you shoot.
 If you shoot over the target, lower it. If you shoot under, have it elevated.
 When you miss the target and blow furrow along bays scalp, tally two one for the scalp and one for the boy.
 Either close both eyes or keep both open when you shoot. Some favor one method and some the other, but odds is the difference as long as your father employs glazier by the month. Don't attempt curve shot; tha arrow is as apt to come down on the baby's head as elsewhere.
 Some girls squint up one eye and hang out their tongue when they pull the bow. This is not absolutely necessary to line shot, though it does look TO- mantic.
 There is no particular distance to be observed, but the nearer the target you stand the more chance you have of hit ting some one across the street in the eye.
 A center shot is called 'duffer ; missing the the target is termed done hand ; hitting the horse barn is known as 'phoopee; missing the barn and shooting your aunt's spectacles off hel nose is called 'tom-tom ; shooting across young mans shoulder is known as 'snuffies ; sitting down and shooting backwards over your head is known as 'blufing the game,' and holding 8 spy. glass up to get line shot is called 'mashing the mark

Distressing Symptoms

In the stomach and bowels may announce the
 existence either of dyspepsia in the first or an
 obstruction in the second, or the approach of
 some cholsraic complaint, or simple diarfhea.
 Collie, bitter or sour eructations, a pressing down of the bowels, feeling of oppression or fiuttel ing at the pit of the stomach, arc among these unpleasant symptoms. They and their cause are speedily remedied by Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters. a single wineglassful often causing an immediate cessation of pain. When the difficulty continues, it is only neces- sary to pursue the use of this standard car and anti-dyspeptic medicine to obtain entire and permanent relief. Nothing in the or flavor of the Bitters is in the slightest degree objectionable. Medical men pronounce it emnently pure.

Tho Mystery of Boiler Explosions.

A committee of the Keystone Council of Engineers of Philadelphia submitted report on the recent boiler explosion at Front and Brown streets which has some edifying streaks of good sense in it. This report starts out by exploding the mystery notion, with a statement that "there is no mystery attached to steam boiler explosions with the exec ption of one-ignorance," and then it goes on to suggest, in about the same terms used by us few days ago in discussing the disaster that "the engineer may be ig- norant, the boiler may not be constructed properly, or it may be run at pressure in excess of safe working pressure" This about covers the whole ground, and it leaves little room for the development of theories about electricity, gaseous conditions or odic force, and brings the whole thing down to the one pertinent and understandable fact that boiler bursts because there is too much steam pressure, which pressure may be due to an innocent misunderstanding on the part of the engineer in charge as to the amount of steam which he may safely carry, or it may be due to his criminal negligence or recklessness. Let US SUD- pose case, and the case which we SUD- pose is a very probable one. An en- gineer has charge of boiler which runs the machinery of mill or other large manufacturing establishment. As we said the other day, and as the commit tee of engineers who made their report say substantially in that report, there are few things easier than the manage ment of steam boiler. Our suppositi- ous engineer, simply because he has an easy job on hand, after time forgets how dangerous an element he is super vising, and grows careless. Some day about dinner time he has some little personal business to attend to-maybe it is to get glass of beer at the shop around the corner. He stays rather longer than he originally intended, and on hurrying back for the purpose of getting his machinery in motion for the afternoons work he finds that his water is below his gauges. Then, he has two alternatives before him-to draw his fires, and by putting stop to further proceedings in the mill, cause great deal of inconvenience as we'll as pecuni- ary loss, as we'll as to make an exposi tion of his own carelessness or, to put on his pumps and take the risk. The chances are that he will take the risk rather than expose himself and run the chances of losing his situation. If the water is only just below the gauges, he probably succeeds in getting things in condition again without trouble, ani thus not only saves himself from ex posture and loss of situation, but receive, encouragement to try the same experi ment again. If the water, however
 happens to be below the Rues, h. promptly blows himself and his mill tt kingdom come, and provides abundan material for speculat ion about the mys tery of boiler explosions.-Philadezph5e

TH1s FIRM (Dundas Dick S Co.) en- joys the reputation above all others, of making agreeable the taking of nauseous medicines. Their Soft Capsules are world famous, and deservedly so. The pale, yellow face of many poor man, or woman, or child, is daily seen on our streets, suffering from these terrible af- fictions (malarial diseases) without the means to employ the professional ser vices they require. Thermaline is the boon which will give them relief. We know what we say, when we assert that it is curing thousands. s.-Burlington Hn2vke7Ie

FARM AND GARDEN.
FLAvoRING BUTTER.

s. H. R. gives the World the result of an experiment in imparting agreeable favors to butter, which will be read with interest. He writes "Ib is very well understood by all dairymen that particu- lar care should be taken to protect cream from any impure or strong odors, as it causes the butter to taste unpleasantly. Fresh paint or sour milk or dirt from the barnyard will give bad taste to the butter. When the fruit trees are in bloom and the breath of the flowers comes upon the cream it gives the but ter peculiar sweet taste that is very delightful; also the odor of new made hay is beneficial to butter. But these things are transient, so I experimented little with happy results. Under the windows of my milk-room I sowed sweet clover and sweet peas ; the peas are not in flower yet, but the perfume of the clover is very powerful it not only fills the whole room with it's fragrance but it gives to the bu tier very improved rel ish. It takes but little time to SOW the seeds, and care for the plants, and it is labor that pays. I used to gather the clover and sweet marjoram leaves and carry them into the room, but the above plan is easier and the effects are more lasting"
 RoBBER BEES.
 It is often difficult for the beginner in apiculture to tell robbing bees from those at play, as it is called when the young bees take their first flight, as the motions of both are very nearly alike, the only difference discernible being the lighter color of the young bees. But while we are trying to decide this n1ce point our colony may bo robbed and spoiled. There is, however, another test of robbing which is always reliable that is to kill the bees one or more seen going from the hive and dissect them, and if their honey-sacks are found filled with honey you may know they are robbers, for loaded bee always should be carryin g honey into the hive, not from it. It being ascertained that a hive is being robbed, the best remedy is to carry it to dark cellar and leave il there three or four days until the rob, bers have pretty much forgotten the place of their depredations, when il
 should be reset on the same stand just at sundown. If attacked again it vii
 be probably found that the hive is too
 weak to defend itself, and in such cast
 the bees should be united with another
 and the combs and honey put in some
 tight room for safe keeping. Robbins
 is often caused by the carelessness O
 the apiarist in leaving sweets exposed il times of scarcity. The bees getting taste thereof soon become demoralizet and are ready for plumber wherever the,
 can find stock not seeming able to de fend themselves. Therefore great car should always be taken not to expos ! sweets of any kind in times of scarcity and also to keep the entrance to tn hive contracted to suit the size of tn
 colony.
