The NORTH POLE AND EQUATOR Are
not more widely distinct than the standard
tonic, stimulant and Alternative, Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, and the cheap and fiery
local bittcrs which INSCRIPTIONS vendors
foist upon the unwary as medicated prepar-
ations with remedial properties. The lat
ter are usually composed in the main of half
rectifed alcoholic excitants, with some
wretched drug combined to disguise their
real flavor and are perfectly ruinous to the
coats of the stomach. Hostetters 'Bitters,
on the contrary, has for its basis choice
spirits of absolute, purity, and this is
modified and combined with medical ex-
tracts ofrare excellence and botanical ORR
gin, which both lnvlgorate and regulate the
bowels, stomach and liver. They effect a
radical change in the dlsordered physical
economy, which is manifested bya speedy
improvement in the general health.

Funeral of q Chinese Mason.

A stunning Chinese funeral took place
in this city yesterday afternoon, says a
recent issue of Virginia City New
paper, deceased having been member
of the Masonic order, as it exists among
the Mongolians. An American brass
baud headed the procession, which was
composed of Cinnamon wearing badges
and other decorations denoting their
rank, while in large covered vehicle that
followed the hearse were seated a num-
ber of female musicians-a regular
Chinese band, in fact. The instruments
were fiddles, guitars, drums, cymbals
and gongs. The noise made by the Ce-
lestial musicians was such that after
they came up and passed not another
uote from the American band was heard.
They gave their late brother good
send-oif. Behind the native band wagon
came wagon loaded with roast pig and
all manner of good things eatable and
drinkable to be left at the grave. Strips
of paper pierced in three places with
crescent-shared holes in rows of five
were strewn by thousands along the
whole route OF the procession. The
Americans who crowded the line OF
march--outside arbarians-seemedt to
consider the whole thing sort of farce,
md rather jolly affair. A bevy OF
Piute squaws standing at the corner Of
G and Taylor streets laughed until the
tears ran down their cheeks when the
Chinese band came along. These sim.
pie children of the desert doubtless put
themselves outside of all the yiands left
at the grave Of the defunct as soon as
the shades of evening covered the hills.

German SuperstitiOns.

The directions prescribed as preven-
tives against all sorts OF witchcraft valy
in different parts of Germany, and a; 9
generally limited to certain provinces.
Thus, in Silesia, people carefully avoid
swallowing cats hair or fragment of
thread, as this imprudence would GER
tainly cause consumption. In the Tyrol,
eating a sparrow is believed to bring
about st. Vitus' dance and in Hesse,
splitting into the fire will make the
culprit's mouth sore, belief which is
probably remnant of the time whC n
fire was considered sacred. In Saxony,
nobody ventures to wipe their fingers
on the tablecloth, lest their hands be-
come covered with warts. Throughout
Germany, brooms play large part in
the tragi.comedy of popular medicine,
since they are the witches favorite
means of conveyance to their nightly
feast at the Blocksberg. In Westphalia
that lumber room of superstition
and Saxony, the unfortunate mortals
who happen to have been beaten with
broomstick firmly believe themselves
doomed to die of consumption and
small children who have been chastised
by means of a hazel or willow rod, are
supposed either to be crippled or stunt
ed in their growth. Another strange
notion prevailing throughout Germany
is that no one should boast OF good
health, at least not without spreading
out the fore and middle fingers \of both
hands, and saying the word Uaberuyen
or U5abeschrieen, which means Spnbe.
