II is te.egraphed from Wampun,
Wis, that runaway married woman
had donned male attire and passing
herself of as man had won the affec-
tions of a young lady to whom she
was duly united in matrimony. The
report goes on to say that the couple
had been living happily together since
last spring and would probably have
continued to do SO, had not the hus-
band Of the female husband arrived in
search Of her. This story might do to
tell the marines, but old sailors know
it is too thin. A woman might fool
another into such an unnatural mar
rage, but to make her stand the de-
csption six months or even a day is
preposterous. She don't take to that
kind Of husbands else there wouldn't
be SO many old maids in the country,
longing for some one to love. A gen.
uine man is what she wants and pair
OF old breeches does not make one.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal is
needed only to stiffen and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Boss Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
the only case made under this process. Each
case is accompanied nth a valid guarantees
signed by the manufacturers %warranting 1t to
rear 20 years. 10000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.

HEALTH HINTS.

Blessed be he. who invented sleep
thrice blessed the man who will
invent a cur for thinking.
1t is stated by DR.. Foote's Health
Monthly "that DR.. Thomas Taylor, of
Washington, accuses flies of being car
riers of contagion in the form of dis
ease germs, and he thinks lie has facts
to prove it."
The London Lancet thinks that if
children would wear wooden next the
skin, and wear longer clothing, sus-
pending it from the shoulders, we
would hear more of boisterOus health
and less Of backaches and pains.
A correspondent in Smyrna, Turkey,
sends the following cure for lumbago.
and states that it is reliable: Take a
piece of oilskin cloth, such as we use
to cover tables, but of a soft, plant
kind, sufficiently large to cover the loins;
place it over the flannel shirt and band
age yourself with a flannel bandage;
profuse respiration will ensue Oh the
loins, and you are quickly rid of
this wearisome complaint.--Sctenttfc

The CamphOr Tree.

The tree which produces the best
camphor is Indigenous to Sumatra.
The camphor tree propagateS itself in
the mountains of Sumatra, without
trouble OF labor to the natives, as it
grows without any cultivation in the
forests contiguous to the sea-coa It, on
the north side of the island. 1t is not
found native to the south of the line,
o yet further than the third degree
Of latitude. European explorers have
not as yet been able to find out the
veritable name of the tree, that is, in
any of the native languages; but there
is no apparent reason to doubt that its
propagation Is completely confined to
the two islands of Sumatra and Borneo.
The camphor tree in girth and height
equals the biggest timber tree, often ar
irving at the m size Of over
fifteen feet in circumference. The
trunk is arboreous. and its bark is of Il
brJwnish tint. Its leaves grow on
short petioles, the larger les being
alternate, the smaller oppo site; they
average from three to four inches in
length and an inch broad. Their form
is elliptic, ending in an extraordinarily
long and slender point. The fberS are
straight, and run parallel to each
other.
Places where the camphor tree grows
in abundance are generally considered
unhealthy, the reason probably being
the nature of the soil, and the peculiar
conditions necessary for the prosperous
state of that tree.
The camphor Of Sumatra is so much
superior to that of Japan that the
Chinese easily distinguish between the
two, and reserve the former for their
own use at an eXorbitant price, and
export the latter as a thing they do
not think much of. The Sumatra
camphor never by any chance reaches
this country, because it is so much eS-
teemed by the Chinese and oth3r M
tives in the East that its price, COM
pared to that of the Japanese article,
is in the ratio of twenty to one, which
may be attributed rather to the super
stitious virtues imputed to it than to
any intrinsic difference in its real
value.
Camphor is procurable from the tree
by two modes: the first by intlicting
wounds in the bark, from whenceit eX-
udes; the second by help of fire. The
drug procured by the first method is
considered much superior in quality.
The most noticeable difference in the
qualities of the three kinds of cam
phor consists in their volatility. Japan
camphor, procured by a process of
boiling the wood, will volatilize COM
pletely away when exposed to the
action of the air; but that procured
naturally in Japan does in some meas
ure lose its weight under the same cir
cumstances, while it is asserted that
the kind from Sumatra hardly dimn-
ishes at all in quantity by being kept.
Camphor produces ar oil which is a
valuable medicine, and is much used
by the natives of Sumatra for rheu.

A Deaf and Dumb Lawyer.

a Washington letter says: One of

triumph Of brain AMI will over cir
cumstances is embodied in the form Of
J.. G.. Parkinson, who ha; been ad-
mitted to practice in the United States
supreme court. This gentleman, who
is a ~fne-looking, dark Completed, well
formed brunette Of about thirty, is
deaf and dumb. He can hear abso-
lutely nothing, and he ear only talk
sign system. Still he is one Of the
best patent lawyers in Washington,
and is noted as an expert in all
branches of patent law. He comes
originally from Cincinnati, and was
once a clerk in the patent Office. Now
he has a lucrative law practice which
he carries on by means of writing and
signs. He is well known here both in
the courts and in the interior depart
ment, and is in fact n of the won

his early days. The royal Golfers were
low and the English were clanoring
for the last installments of the Yandl-
boo indemnity m ,ney. SO the rents
of tire elephant were appropriated to
pay off the troublesome foreigners.
Every car was taken to soften the
indignity. The king himself wrote a
long address on a paln-leaf requesting
the lord white elephant not to take
it amiss that his revenues were de-
voted to the payment of the barbar-
ians. In any case he would not suffer,
for the whole should be refunded in
two months time. The circumstances,
however, seemed to have preyed on his
mind, for the body-guard say that his
majesty (the elephant) has never been
the same since.

mia, with view to converting it into a
Democratic Journal The quid-nuncs as
sert that il Is intended to run the new
journal in the interest Of Judge Field as
a nominee for the Presidency. and that
tho capital to support the enterprise
comes from the East. We doubt this
very much. We were lately personally
assured, on high authority, that Judge
Field does not propose to be a candidate
for the Presidency. Money applied to
the purchase of "organs' is more than
thrown away. Unless there is n well
understood recognition OF mans fitness
for official station, all tho newspapers in
the world would not avail to consum-
mate his ambition. We presume that
the facts are that the Examiner, by its
peculiar aud disharmonizing course, has
disgusted a large element Of the party,
who have money, and who propose to
try the perilous and expensive expert
ment OF running n daily newspaper, in
which they at least will receive fair
treatment. We have all along looked
upon it as probable that such would be
the ultimate outcome of crusade which
holds up the body OF the Democratic
State Central Committee and a large
element Of the most influential leaders
Of the Democratic party as lot of trail

Curative Qualities of the Grape

The following description OF the
G. Eggers, Esq, of San Francisco, who
copied it from book in his possession
thought perhaps your readers might be
Interested in it, and so have recopled it
for your use. Mr.. Eggers has very
large vineyard in Fresno county, though
| don't think we have the twenty five
miles of vines anywhere in California
yet. HupA DELEsTHER.
A pleasant writer in the London Re
rie,e describes the process of this cure,
and gives an attractive picture of the
place that has become its headquarters.
The cure is praeticed at Merany, in the
1yrol, and at Vevay and Martreux,
on the lake of Geneva But in Ger
many, Durkheim is the place that en-
Joys the most fame. Durk helm lies
on the left bank OF the Rhine. in
the Bavarian palatinaie, and is distant
about fourteen miles, = due east,
from Mannheim. The nearest railway
station is Neustadt, small town on the
line from Maycnce to the French from
tier, at Forbach. The surrounding re-
gion is one great vineyard; for some
twenty-five miles the highroad passes
through succession of vineyards, with.
out trace of any cultivation meeting
the eve of the traveller, and although
immense quantities OF wines are male
from there, almost an equal amount of
the juicy fruit is diverted from bibulous
to curative purposes.
The process of the grape cure" is at
once simple and agreeable. 1t lasts
from three to six weeks. The regular
season commences about the first week
in September and lasts nearly to the end
of October. Everything depends on the
ripening of the grapes.
The amount of grapes daily taken by
persons undergoing the cure varies from
four and half to seven or eight pounds.
In some cases nine pounds are eaten.
They are taken three times day at the
same hours at which mineral waters are
usually drank in Germany-before break
fast, at II O'Clock in the morning, or
two hours before dinner and at 5 or 6
in the evening. Persons generally com
mence the cure with from two to three
pounds day, and advance daily in guam
tity until the larger limit is reached, The
skins and seeds should not be swallowed.
The largest portion is usually consumed
at eleven O'Clock. Some doctors don't
allow the patient to take any other break
fast than the grapes, accompanied by
roll of bread The usual plan however,
is to permit them to take n breakfast of
tea aud coffee with bread, but no butter,
after the grapes. A strict diet is usu-
ally prescribed. All fat, sour or spiced
meats and pastry are forbidden.
A small quantity of light, white
wine is permitted, but red wine,
beer and milk must be avoided. The
evening meal should be very light one.
The system pursued at Durkhem is
the same as that followed at other places
where the grape cure goes on; and the
grapes which are used in the cure at
Vevay and Martreux, also at Durk helm,
are, for the most part, the Gutedel and
the Austrian varieties.-Paci6c Rural

personal Organs"

The air for sometime has been full of
rumors of the establishment OF II 'person-
al" organ in San Francisco. With great
numbers of the Democracy an idea is
current that there are already too many
of this kind Of newspapers. There is no
rule which shuts out an honest, able and
fearless gentleman, who happens to be
the editor of newspaper, and who has
done good work in his profession, from
aspiring to the highest honors of his
party. II he can get them, they have
been doubly earned. But the establish
ment OF newspaper which is expressly
designed to advocate the claims of q
particular individual is something intol.
erably offensive to properly constituted
people. This question has Just now at.
tanned great prominence owing to the re-
ported purchase by Ex-Governor john

THE latest dispatches from New York
show that everything is not lovely in the
Republican party in that State. The
Executive Committee of the Independ-
ent Republicans-in other words the
"Young Seratchers' who, to the num-
Der of fifty thousand, refused to vote for
Governor Cornell three or four years ago
are again making trouble. They have
issued an address in which they de-
nounce the machine rulers of the Re
publican organization in the Empire
State. In remarkable contrast to this
we are treated to the spectacle, on the
other side, OF John Kelly urging harmo-
ny in tine Democratic ranks by word and
example.
