A Change of Weather.

With the approach of warm weather in the spring, a feeling of lassitude and de, bility is apt to overcome the majority ol human kind The entire change of cloth. ing, diet and habit of life necessary for the summer season is always attended with
 more or less difficulty, and illness and Ian gnor are more or less prevalent everywhere until the system has heen able to affect a complete change At this time of the year
 a good tonic is highly desirable, and the general demand for an article of this kind has flooded the market with all sorts oi compounds, whose efficacy lies very largely, if not entirely, in the imaginations of their manufacturers Such, we are glad to state, is not the case with Dr. Harters Iron Tonic a preparation of iron and ealysaya bark in combination with the phosphates, which has been generally indorsed by the medical profession, and is recommended by them for dvspepsia. general debility, female dis eases. etc. It is pleasant to take, compound ed on scientific principles, and seldom fails to give relief or cure. We refer those inter ested to the advertisement of the Dr. Harter Medicine Co, elsewhere. Medical Jotyhdt.

Newspaper Profits.
Chleago f Tines.


 Whether newspapers, when letLing the public into the secrets of their counting rooms, invariably tell the truth is a matter of some incredulity with the readers of those newspapers. In the case of the New York Tribune, which makes some slatements anent its forty first anniversary, it's esteemed contem- poraries will suggest doubts. It claims the largest circulation in it's history for last year, and, Gin spite of the increased expenses and diminished ad yertising of presidential campaign" claims that it's profits for 1880 rank with those of the four most prosperous years. Some of the Tribune company's stockholders, who have never received dividend, may wonder why so much prosperity doesn't bring them any reward. The Tribune ventures this statement. "The panic of 1873 caught the Tribune just launched on heavy real estate purchases and the erection of costly building. In these enterprises and in the introduction of new machinery througout every depart ment it has expended between nine hundred thousand and one million dol lars. The debt thus incurred has been steadily reduced, until it's entire liability 1 of every description now amounts, less l the cash surplus on hand, to only S100- 000 Under the terms of the loan, this cannot be further reduced for two years | from next May. We are shut up there 1 fore to either the completion of the building by additions which will more than double our rentable space, or the resumption of long deferred dividends. | For the present we are contemplating the alternatives with cheerful equanimI- ty, which we are sure our readers will share" The shareholders, no doubt, whould be willing to let further build ing operations go. in order to harvest a dividend.

"THE baby has got new tooth, but the old lady is laid up with cold in her head, and Johnny is down with the measles" remarked a Galveston gentle man to defeated candidate. "What in thunder do l care?" was the reply of the defeated candidate, scowling furiously. "Well," said the gentleman, slowly, "be- fore the election you used to take me aside every time you met me and ask me how my family was coming on, so l thought you would like to know. As was saying, Johnny is all broken out with the measles, and the baby -" "Go to Halifaxp roared the exasperated ex.candidate, producing police whistle; all of which goes to show that the de- feated candidate is quite as independent as the one who is elected.

A Relic of Washington.

A special from Staunton, Va, says that an old walnut cabinet of antique design has been discovered in the store of Frank Ware, second hand furniture dealer, to which unusual interest at- taches In moving the desk Ware turn ed it up and his eye fell upon singular looking inscription, to decipher which he called in the aid of several gentle men, who made it out as follow: "To George Washington by D. Webfter in ye year 1777;" and, in another place: "Ye desk was presented to George Wash ington in ye year of ye Lord TIT by D. Webfter." The inscription is quite dis dinct, except the "D" preceding Webfter. Ths cabinet was bought recently at a sale of the effects of the widow of the late Samuel Clark, former mayor of Stanton. and is about three feet long and one deep and stands upon four slender, crooked legs. A drawer runs the whole length of the cabinet at the top and there are smaller, shallow ones beneath this, with an old fashioned brass handle. It has been found that Samuel Clark mar ried daughter of Sampson Matthews, who was the first man who ever kept a tavern in Staunton. His tavern, which has long since disappeared, was rendez- vous for Continental soldiers. Gen. Matthews, a brother of the tavern keeper, was a friend of Gen. Washington and was Governor of Georgia after the war. The old desk evidently passed from Gen. Washington into the hands of Gov. Matthews and so into his brothers family. Its identity is much strength ened by the strong resemblance between the inscriI ton upon it and the hand- writing of Washington as seen upon an old autograph letter of his which has been hunted up and compared with it. The historical society of Virginia will purchase the cabinet and present it to the Mount Vernon association.

DURING the few years past there have been great losses of sheep in England, and had we surplus we could find a ready sale now. A writer in an English journal says: "It is certain that Ameri. can mutton of the finest quality and in great abundance will find its way to our shores before many years have passed over." We, however, are not near SC sanguine of this. It will probably be a great many years before sheep will be raised in such abundance. There a c vast districts in our country well fitted for profitable sheep raising, but so far nc decided steps have been taken to raise sheep for an export supply, considering that we do not raise all the wool we use, the whole business seems to have been overlooked.
