PETERsoN's MAGAZINE, for De-
cember, more than maintains its I'M
rivalled character. There are two
beautiful steel engravings one of
them is a lovely title-page, repre-
senting some children, singing a
Christmas hymn; besides a superb
steel fashion plate, the latter ex-
uisitely colored. In addition there
is magnificent stripe for a chair,
in cross stitch embroidery, printed
in colors, which, at retail, would
cost fifty cents; this is presented to
the subscribers of Peterson as a
Christmas gift. A charming story,
"My Cousin Maud" is as charm
ingly illustrated. The number
contains supplement, with a full
sized dress pattern, alone worth
more than the price of the number.
Then there are some fifty other en-
cravings; of fashions, workable
patterns, ETC., etc. The enormous
circulation of Peterson, the publish
er, says enables him to give more
for the money than any other.
The very best stories are always to
be found in Peterson. Its regular

Scrofulous, Itching and Scaly
Humors of the Skin, Scalp
and Blood Cured.


l viii now state that 1 made q miraculous
cure of one of the worst cases of skin dis
ease known. The patient is man forty
years old; had suffered fifteen years. His
eyes, scalp and nearly his whole body pre-
sented frightful appearance. Had had
the attention of twelve different physicians,
who prescribed thelbest remedies known to
the profession, such as iodide potassium,
arsnic, corrosive sublimate, sarsaparilla, &c.
Had paid $500 for medical treatment with
but little relief. / prevailed upon him to
use the CUTICURA REsoLvENT internally,
and the CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP eX-
ternally. He did so, and was completely
cured. The skin on his head, face, and
many other parts of his body, which pre-
scented most Ioathsone appearance, is now
as soft and smooth as an Infants, with no
scar or trace of the disease left behind. He
has now been cured twelve months.

Calamity is the name of a man
who lives at the gold camp Of Cum
munis City. He has another name,
but nobody seems to know what it
is. 1t has been torn off the wrapper
some way, and SO the boys call him
Calamity.
Last spring he had a little domes-
tic trouble, and his wife made COM
plants that Calamity had worn out
an old long handled shovel on her.
trying to convince her about some
abstruce theory of his.
The testimony seemed rather
against Calamity, and the miners
told him that, as soon as they got
over the rush q little and had the
leisure, they would have to hang
him.
One evening after the work of the
day was done and the boys had eat
en- their suppers, one of them sug-
sested that il would be good time
to hang Calamity. So they got
things in shape and went down to
the Big Laramie bride.
Calamity was with them. They
got things ready for the exercises to
begin, aud then asked the victim if
he had anything to say. He zoos
ened the rope around his neck
little with one hand SO that he
could speak with more ease, and,
holding his pantaloons on with the
other, he said:
"Gentlemen of the convention, i
call you to witness that this public
demonstration toward me is entire
ly unsought on my part. l have
never cOurted notoriety.
Plugging along in comparative
obscurity is good enough for Inc.
This is the first time / ever address
ed an audience, That is why L am
embarrassed and i'll at ease.
You have brought me here to
hang me because seemed harsh
and severe with my wife. You
have entered the hallowed presence
of my home-life and assumed the
prerogative of subverting my house
hold discipline.
1t is well. | do not care to live SO
long as my authority is questioned.
You have already changed my sub
missive wife to an arrogant and
self-reliant woman.
l have always been kind and
thoughtful to her. When she had
to go up into the gulch in the win
ter after firewood, my coat shielded
her from the storm, while / sat
alone in the cabin through the long
hours. | could name other in
stances of unselfishness on my part,
but l will not thus take up your
time.
Death, with its wide waste of
eternal calm and its shoreless sea of
rest, is a glad relief to me. VI go,
but leave in your midst skittish
and able-bodied widow who will
make Rome howl. / bequeath her
to this camp. She is all | have to
give, but in giving her to you feel
that my untimely death will al
ways be looked upon in this gulch
as dire calamity.
The day will come when you will
look back upon this awful night and
wish that was alive again, but it
will be too late. / will be far away.
My soul will be in a land where
domestic infelicity and cold feet can
never enter.
Bury me at the foot of Vinegar
Hill, where the sage-hen and the
fuzzy humble bee may gambol DER
my lowly grave"
When Calamity had finished, an
caucus was called, and
when it was adjourned Calamity
went home to his cabin to surprise
his wife. She hasn't fully recovered
from the surprise as we go to press.

An American traveller in Europe
speaks of the fine appearance of the
many soldiers. He finds the French
soldiers to be short in stature, ner-
vous in action, quick In movement
and less careful in dress than the
Germans and Italians. The German
soldiers are large and intelligent,
and take pride in their dress and
appearance. The Italian soldiers
are young and fresh-looking.

Napoleon and 3iaria LOnish.

The marriage excited the greatest in
terest throughout Europe, and the feasts,
the balls, the shows, the poetry, and the
addresses and other pieces in prose to
which it gave rise, were endless. From
Vienna to Compiegne, the road by which
the Princess passed, seemed to be streWn
with flowers. Paris almost leaped for
Joy. The civil ceremony in Paris took
place on the first of April, and the religi-
Gus ceremony followed. The robe in
which the Empress appeared at the festl-
val was so magnificent as to beggar de-
scription. 1t was embroidered all over
with diamonds, and the intervals were
filled with Malines lace, its value being
estimated at 500, O0Of. (about .f22, 000).
On the four interior fronts of the tri-
umphial arch of L'Etoile, were twelve
emblematic medallions. The first, on the
south front, represented the Emperor,
with this inscription underneath: "The
happiness of the world is in his hands. !"
The second was the cipher of the Emper-
or and Empress, the inscription being:
eve love her from our love of him; we
love her for herself" The third, cupid

will be to the French tender mother"
The eighth, the cipher of the Emperor

A Dead Horse.

In France, when horse has reached
the age of twenty or thirty it is designed
for chemical factory; it is first relieved
of It's hair, which serves to stuff cushions
and saddles; then it is skinned; the hoofs
serve to make combs. Next the carcass
is placed in cylinder and cooked by
steam, alta pressure of three atmospheres;
a cock is opened, which allows the grease
to run off; then the remains are cut up,
the leg bones are sold to make knife ham
dies, ETC., and the cOarser of the ribs,
the head, etc., are converted into animal
black and glue The first are calcined
in cylinders, and the vapors when con-
densed form the chief source of carbonate
of ammonia, which constitutes the base
of nearly all ammonical salts. There is
an animal oil yielded which makes capt.
talinsecticide and a vermifuge. To make
glue, the bones are dissolved in muriatic
acid, which takes away the phosphate of
lime, the soft residue, retaining the shape
of the bone, dissolved in boiling water,
cast into squares, and dried on nets. The
phosphate of lime, acted upon by sulphur
ic acid and calcined with carbon, pro-
duces PHOSPHORUS for lucifer matches.
The flesh is distilled to obtain the car
Donate of ammonia; the resulting mass is
pounded up with potash, then mixed
with old nails and old iron of every de-
scriptiou; the whole is calcined and yields
magnificent yellow crystals, prussiate of
potash, with which tissues are dyed a
Prussian blue and iron transformed into
steel; it also forms the basis of cyanide of
potassium and prussic acid, the two most
terrific poisons known in chemistry.

Faced by a Grizzly.
[Tuolumme (Cal.) independently

Bill Morris, the great hunter from the
Yellowstone, who has resided in Sonora
number of years, was making his way
over the mountains with his trusty rifle
one night last week, on board the Bodie
stage, and encountered heart-thrilling
adventure near Cow Greek Station, as
follows: The stage had stopped at this
station to change horses, getting there
about 1:3O a. m. The nights are frosty
at this altitude, and Bill, who had been
riding with the driver, had got down
while the team was being hitched up and
started on ahead on foot to "warm up"
leaving his rifle behind. Coming to an
elbow in the road few hundred yards
beyond, he cast his eye upw ard to ire
mendous rock on the right, from whence
emanated laundering growl, and in the
bright moonlight thereon perched was a
tremendous grizzly bear. William was
petriied in his tracks. Down jumped
the bear, and standing erect In the road
with his mouth open, confronted him In
savage attitude and followed him up as
he retreated backward. Morris shouted
Justify for assistance, and at this juncture
the stage hove in sight and the driver
and passengers, five in number, hearing
cries of distress, all shouted at the top Of
their voices. The stage swung around
the curve at the critical moment when
the bear was about to strike him down.
So unnatural was the surprise that the
grizzly turned about and beat hasty re-
treat down the mountain. A bonanza
with one million 'sin the door, could not
have been more welcome sight to Nor
ris than was the Bodie stage at that mo-
ment. The tracks of the monster meas
ured in the moonlight about fourteen
inches. He is supposed to be the same
the stock men have been watching for
killing stock just previous to this ad-
yeufIlrp
