Charcoal for Hogs.

Whatever hog medicine contains good
proportion Of charcoal is presuaptively
good medicine. 1t may be possible for
quackery to SO combine charcoal with other
ingredients that the efficacy Of this rem
,edial agent viii be destroyed, but it would,
we believe, take regular double barrelled
quackery to destroy it under any circum-
stances. It is most useful medicine by
itself, and worth more than any other one
ingredient that we ever saw put into q
medicine. It benefits the hog system by
absorbing the injurious gases within it, and
its absorPtive powers are SO great that it will
absorb about eighty times more gas than its
own measurement. It is to this quality
that it owes its efficacy when given to
bloated animals, and nothing equal to 1t was
ever given or has ever been discovered in
such cases. Few of our readers but are
doubtless aware how magnifcently it acts
in human complaints, and to such it is rec
commended in diseases of domestic animals,
and especially Of swine, with just as much
confidence of it's beinga success as when
given to human beings. One beauty about
it. too. is that it can DO no harm, something
that cannot be said of many of the
nostrums which are recommended by avari-
cious compounders of medicines for ami
mails. If it is given in too large doses it
simply acts as q cathartic. and that is the
end of it.

In marrying make your own match. Do
not marry man in order to get rid Of him,
or to oblige him, or to save him. The man
who would go to destruction without you,
will quite as likely go with you, and per-
haps drag you along. Do not marry in
haste, lest you repent at leisure. Do not
marry for home and living. Do not let
any one sell you for money or position, in
to bondage which you could not redeem
with tears and lifelong misery. People
often become bewildered and do not find
out their mistake until it is too late. Have
q mind of your own. Settle your hearts,
End s4Sa1 m6s up yS nd Sp n9 not
one who has no heart. Shun the man who
becomes intoxicated. Do not rush thought
lessly into welded life, contrary to the
counsels Of father and. mother. Love can
wait. Do not marry without love. Do not
regard marrying as absolutely necessary.
While it is the general order Of Providence
that people should marry, yet He may
have some other way for you. But if not
and You do marry. may your lines be such
that you may always keep in memory the fol-
lowing lines (for him who has promised to
cherish and protect you). < >"

THE GLOBE CoxPANY.-The proposals
made by this corporation to those hav-
ing money to invest, in large and small
sums, will be read with interest in an
other column and receive the full con-
sideration to which they are entitled.
A ten per cent stock, on q sufficient
security, certainly ought to satisfy any
one. The Globe Company will pay its
dividend coupons quarterly at one of
the national banks Of this city and they
will also be cashed at maturity any
where. All the features of the certifi-
Gates are duly set forth in the invest
ment of the Company. The stock is
issued for the express purpose of con-
structing locomotive works and
machinery for building locomotives,
under the Company's patants for using
anthracite dust as the only fuel. The
utilization of this immense amount OF
waste ought to work practical revo-
luton in the driving power for our
railroads, and makes itself felt every
where. in the profit whichIcomes oflegit-
innate savings. Ourireaders are invited
to consider the Company's proposals
and act on their best and clearest con-
victions.-[Mass Ploughman, April 6,

ANIMAL REAsONING.-A correspon-
dent oriNature writing from Cambridge,
Mass, says: A lady, friend of mine,
was at one time matron of hospital
for poor women and children which
was maintained by subscription. One
of the inmates was blind girl who
was there not as patient, but temper
arily till q home could be found for her.
She had learned to feed hirself, and at
meal times tray containing her dinner
was placed on her knees as she sat In a
comfortable chair for her special con-
venience in feeding herself. One day
while she was eating, the pet cat of the
establishment placed herself before the
girl and looked long and earnestly al
her, SO earnestly that the matron, fear.
ing the animal meditated some mischief
to the girl, took her out of the room
Again the next day, at the same hour
the cat entered the room, but this time
walked quietly TO the girls side, reared
herself on her hind legs, and noiselessly
stealthily reached out her paw to the
plate, selected and seized morsel tina
pleased her, and silently as she came
departed to enjoy her stolen meal
The girl never noticed her loss, ant
when told of 1t by her companion
laughed very heartily.
It Is evident that the cat from obser
walton had entirely satisfied herself tina
the girl could not see, and by process
of reasoning decided she could steal
good dinner by this practical use of he
knowledge.

CURIOUS HABIT OF A DRAGON Fly
One day this summer, when l was look
ing at some tadpoles in dish of water,
I was struck in the face by jet of wa
ter. On searching for the cause, found
that the larva of a dragon-fy (Eschna)
was my assailant. When disturbed II
sent out a fine stream of water from the
branchial apparatus in the caudal end
of its body to the distance of two OF
three feet, and not content with one
volley, 1t would wheel and discharge
like small gun, at all points of the
compass. put 1t In tumbler of wa.

and shot the water far over the edge Of

Prof. Packard, in writing of the lar
val dragon-fy, says: R"By syringe

body, 1t discharges stream of water
for distance of two or three inches
behind it, thus propelling the insec
forward. The apparatus combines thu
functions of locomotion and respira

A BLACKMAMER CONE TO GRIEF
The case of Ellen M. Gardner, a black
mailer who was convicted In New York
city recently and sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for one year and 70 pay fine
of $3.50, deserves more than passing
notice. The woman answered an
advertisement which Mr.. Ingersoll,
q manufacturer doing business in Bar
clay street, had inserted in the papers
for copyist, although it was stated
that man only need apply. She was
told that her services were not wanted,
and the next day two men, one Of whom
pretended to be her husband, went to
ingersolPs Office and demanded money
from him as the price of certain insults
which they claimed he had offered to
the woman. He drove them off and
thought no more about it. A few days
afterwards word was sent to Ingersoll
that lady wished to see him at her
carriage on the street. He went out,
and found there the woman to whom
he had refused employment. Two men
were with her, and before he was aware
of her object she threw pepper in his
eyes. This occurred last December, and
from that time on public opinion seems
to have sided largely with the assailant.
When Ingersoll week ago applied fol-
a warrant for the arrest Of the woman
it is said the justice intimated to him
that he got no less than he deserved
The reason of his delay became apparent
when the trial came on. He had spent
$4,000 In tracing the career of the SOCIAL
ed Mrs. Ellen M. Gardner, who, it Il
found, had passed under half dozei
aliases as bar-maid, mistress, wife
adulteress, forger, thief and reprobat,
generally. Blackmailing was her trade
A few questions, based upon the dis
coveries Ingersoll's detective had made
addressed to her in court, settled he
case and the plaintiffs vindication wa
complete. The blackmailer's husband
who had married her con sight" few
months before, and who is reported b
be an honest young man without an
knowledge of his wife's previous career
was in court when the startling revels
ton was made, and is now seeking
divorce.

The Suez canal is changing the eli
m ate of the Red sea and the Indian
ocean. Alden, which isat thepouth of
the sea, enjoyed the other day D regular
rain storm, the first that has occurred
there in thirty-two centuries. Showers
fall in Alden on the average once in
three years, but they are puny, sickly
affairs. The. late storm flooded the
country and frightened the natives, who
have never seen genuine rain before,
out of their wits. Ever since the Suez
canal has been dug the climate of Wes-
tern Arabia has been modifying, rains
have become more and more frequent,
due TO change of currents and wind.

men, The very appropriate gift to the

beside the portraits of the other noble
women who have graced this house.
She is my friend. Nothing can say

an honored place. / have observed the
significance which you have given to
this portrait from the standpoint You
occupy and in connection with that
work in which you are engaged. First,
l approve most heartily what you have
said In reference to the freedom of in
div;dual judgment and action symbolic
ed In this portrait. There are several
sovereignties in this country: first, o
sovereignty of the American people ;
then the sovereignty nearest to us all
that sovereignty of the family, the alb
solute right of each family to control its
affairs In accordance with the conscience
and convictions of duty of the heads of
the family. In the picture before Ms
that is bravely symbolized. i have no
doubt tho American people will always
tenderly regard this household sover-
eighty, and. however households may
differ In their views and convictions,
believe that those differences will be
respected. Each household, In follow
ing its own convictions and holding
itself responsible to God, will, ! think,
be respected by the American people.
What you have said concerning these
evils Of intemperance meets my most
hearty concurrence. have been, In
my way and In accordance with my
own convictions, an earnest advocate
Of tempersnce-not In 90 narrow senec
