Frederick Douglass.

We would invite attention to the-adver-
tisement of Geo. NJ. .Rewell & Co., Cleve-
land, o., who are introducing the autobi-
ography Of Frederick Douglass. Our
readers are more or less acquainted with
the history of this remarkable man, and
should make themselves familiar with his
book, and men of good ability may find
it to their interest to confer with the pub
fishers regarding the introduction of this
work. Ii is having an extensive sale to
which its merits Justly entitle it.
The New York Times says: From
the very lowest depths he has struggled up
ward TO his high position. 1t is doubtful
if any man commencing so low, has climb
ed so high as Frederick Douglass"
Rochester Democrat: "The whole story
is exceedingly well told"
Hartford Courant: destined to wide
sale"
Cleveland Leader: g Americans will be
proud of this donation to their literature
and thankful to Mr.. Douglass that he has
made it himself"
Cincinnati Commercial: One of the
most striking books of the year and pro
foundly interesting"

Recovers with HIS Brain Penetrated.

Valentine Hemmerer, man now en-
ployed at Frackville, Schuylkin County,
Pa, has apparently recovered from an
injury of the brain that has excited much
interest among the medical fraternity.
While working in New York last snln-
mer he was stabbed in the head, the
point of q knife breaking of. and pene-
rating the brain. Since his recovery he
relates how he wandered about in the
neighborhood of New York unable to
speak and with his memory impaired.
He finally got on O train which carried
him to Reading, Pa. The railroad off,
cials, in striving to find his home, actual
ly carried him twice past tho place where
his family lived, at Five Points, near
Port Carbon. At last he met conduo-
tor who knew where he lived, and
he was conveyed home. After lying in
o comatose condition he was visited by
DIR. Birch, who, after 3 prolonged inves-
tigation, discovered the wound in his
head, which had healed up. The skull
was trepanned, and small piece re-
moved, with the point Of the knife stick
ing in it. Gradually the power of articu-
lation was recovered, and with his re-
gained memory he was able to tell about
the wound and his wanderings while un-
able TO speak. He says that he must
have crossed the ferry between New York
and Jersey City at least twenty times,
not having the power 70 ask where he
was or to tell where he wanted to go. The
hole In his head occasioned by The opera
ton has become healed. and to al OUT
ward appearances he Is himself again.
The only effect of the wound now is that
after q hard days work his left side ap-
pears more fatigued than his right. HIS
recovery from such a woundi Is considered
most remarkable American.

Some Great Lawyers Fees.

The late Hon. Clarkson N. Potter was
President Of the National Bar Association.
He belonged to distinguished family,
was q son OF Bishop Alonzo Potter, of
Pennsylvania, and brother of Bishop Ho-
ratio Potter, of New York. His grand
father and. father were President and
Vice-P President of Union College. He re-
ceived the first great lawyers fee ever
known in this .O00-at the
time of the foreclosure of the Canandaigua
Railroad.
Judge John E. Porter and Daniel Lord
received large fees in the Parish Will
Case, in which Chas. O'Connor received
100000; but Henry l.. Clinton beat them
all by charging $250,O00 in the Vanderbilt
Will Case, In which he was an attorney,
which fee was, very suitably, contested.
Such obscure pettifoggers as Pinckney,
Webster and Choate never dreamed of
presenting such bills for services as have
come into fashion among American law
yers within the last fifteen years. and the
famous lawyers of England, France and
other foreign lands have never received
such large sums, even in cases of much
longer continuance than any we have
cited.

TEE Popular Science Monthly for Janu-
ary contains sensible and instructive ad-
dress delivered before an association of
German physicians about the sanitary re-
lations of the soil and the influence of the
air beneath and about our dwellings upon
the health Of their occupants. The houses
acting as draft-fues, suck air from the
ground as if they were cupping glasses
set over it. There is. he says. lack in our
civilization in putting oCr houses bare
footed upon disease-bearing soil Even
our most imposing palaces labor under
this partial nakedness. Ne have no rea-
son, from the hygeinic point OF view, to
look down disparagingly on the pile
dwellings of some foreign races and the
mud-hut in which other classes live In
the former case the grating of piles admits
circulation of air; in the latter the hut is
isolated from the ground by plaster floor
he cites interesting examples Of both
these preserving their inhabitants from
attack when cholera entered every modern
cottage with cellars in their vicinity and
swept of its victims. while with the same
intercourse with their fellow-dwellers, not
a case of sickness occurred in the old huts
We need not therefore, waste any more
sympathy ON people who live in houses
without underpinning. If the fuel IL
abundant they are more healthily situated
if less comfortable, than their neighbors
who are breathing furnace heated All
more or less permeated with the cellar
atmosphere and underground gasses-

your earliest convenience, and al
low us, if we desire, to publish the
same:
1st. is the Circular Vat durable

I'd. Is it more convenient to work
around than long watts?
Sd. Does it occupy less room
than the long watts for the same
amount of milk?
4th. Is it less work to wash the
round vat than long vats that hold
same amount of milk?
5th. Do you find any objection
to running so large amount OF
milk in one vat?
9th. Is your yield of cheese per
pound of milk increased or less
ened by using the Circular Vat?
7th. How does the cheese made
in the round vat compare with that
made by the old process of hand
work?
Sth. Please give us your opinion
upon our new process of keeping
the curd all in motion by means
of a current while the cooking or
scalding is being done.
9th. Also our new process of

makers as good investment
Respectfully,

T. B. WIRE, ESQ.,,
Geneva, o.
DEAR SIR,-Your letter of Jan'y
Sd came duly to hand, and we
make answer to the questions
asked therein as follows:
QUESTION l. Your vat is durable
and not liable to get out of order.
The machinery is simple and easily
managed.
QUEs. 2. We consider the vat
more convenient than the square
vats.
QUEs. 3. Very much less. Prob
ably not over half the room re-
quired for square watts and drainer
for the same quantity of milk.
QUEs. 4. 1t is much less work to
wash the circular vat than the long
watts.
QUEs. 5. We find no objection to
running large amount of milk in
the one vat; on the contrary, we
find it preferable for various rea-
sons. For instance: one man can
run up ten or twelve thousand
pounds of milk in the same time
and with less trouble than two men
would take in working three or
four thousand pounds of milk in
the square vats. And again, can
of tainted milk is very less apt to
show its effects in the large amount
of milk than in less amounts.
QUEs. 6. The yield of cheese is
certainly better.
QUEs. z. The cheese made in
your vat suit us very much better
than those made by hand. The
cheese are closer and show more
stock. 49,
QUEs. 8. Your process of stirring
the curd is a great improvement
upon the old method of stirring by
hand. The curd is cooked in q
more even manner, and white whey
is not nearly so apt to start.
QUEs. 9. Your agitator performs
the sailing and cooling of the curd
perfectly. We ask nothing better.
QUEs. 10. Very much less acid
is required to make the cheese stay
down than when worked in the old
vats. A very light acid is entirely
sufficient.
QUEs. IL. We most heartily re-
commend your watts to all manu-
facturers of cheese. The yats will
prove a saving of both time and
money. We think the day is not
far distant when your vats will be
in general use wherever cheese is
made.
To show you that we are sincere
in our answers to your questions,
you may send us three more of the
watts, one with capacity for twelve
thousand pounds of milk, and two
for eight thousand.
Yours, with respect,

wrong the horse is liable to

diseases come from impure
blood. This remedy is espe-
ciany for the blood. 1t works
