EENEP ANY.

NJ. J. Greenburg & Co. desire to make
it known that they are fully prepared to
meet the wants of the farmers and country
folks with the largest assorted stock of

first class city store every article is war
ranted as represented, and one price strictly

ware they take the lead. In domestic and
staple dry goods, the assortment is as full
as could be expected to be found in a much
larger city. In ladies', misses, children and
men and boys boots and shoes they handle
the best California makes only. The cloth

boys is the most extensive in the upper
country. For honest dealings, good goods

THE DRY TORTCGAS.

w. r. Prentice, an old New York soldier,
recalls the following interesting reminlS-
cences of the old military prison, in a letter
to the San Francisco Bulletin 1t happened
to be my fortune also to be sent to the Dry
TOrtugas soon after DR.. Mudd, though had
the good fortune to be relieved from duty
somewhat sooner. The placeis queer one,
and has seldom been described. The Dry
Tortugas (thc word, believe, means tur-
tles) embraces a group of several small coral
islands, or keys, lying in the Gulf OF MeXi-
co, 120 miles west from the southern part of
Florida The largest embraces only few
acres :; they are destitute of fresh water, and
barren, with the exception of q few man.
grove and cedar trees. They were part Of
the Florida purchase, and fort was COM
menced on Garden Key, one of the larger,
by the Spaniards. 1t is now a first-class
brick fort, with two tiers of easements and
mounts more than three hundred guns.
During the war it was used as a military
prison, and many a poor fellow, after a court
martial, heard the words: "Sentenced to the
Dry Tortugas for life" These had accumu-
lated till, in the autumn Of 1865, more than
600 men of all nationalities and all cOlOrs,
were gathered there, and for all crimes,
from some hasty word, most likely true,
said to Il subaltern officer, up to robbery and
attempted murder.
Our guard consisted of only about two hun
dred men, and there was plenty of work fer
us todo. The records had been but imper-
fectly kept, and the term of sentence ofsome
prisoners had long before expired. These
were hunted out and sent home first. Then
100 or more Of the better men were recon-
mended for pardon which was freely grant
ed by President Johnson, for he was in a
pardoning mood at that time. But the main

WORDS or WIsDoM.-It is upon the
smooth ice we slip; the roughest path is
safest.
There is always hope in Il man that ac-
tually and earnestly works.
Vivacity in youth is often mistaken for
genius, and solidity for dullness.
TO conceal a fault by lie has been said
to be substituting a hole for a stain.
Life is battle. From its earliest dawn
to it's latest breath we are struggling with
something.
When you fret and fume at the petty ills
of life, remember that the wheels which
90 round without creaking last the longest.
The soul of man is audible, not visible.
A sound alone betrays the flowing Of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.
The man whose soul is in his work finds
his best reward in the work itself. The joy
Of achievement is vastly beyond the joy Of
reward.
Whatever huses the mind without cor
rupting it has at least this use, that it res
cues the day from idleness; and he that is
never idle will not often be vicious-indeed,
if wisely busy, he cannot be so.
He that has never known adversity is but
half acquainted with others or with him
self. Constant success shows us but one side
of the world, for, as it surrounds us with
friends who will tell us only our merits, so
it silences those enemies from whom alone
we can learn our defects.

And laid it by with care;
I folded it close with lavender leaves
Ina napkin fine and fair.

''For one like me to wear
So never at morn or evening,

Inthe perfumed desk alone,
Its wonderful broidery hidden,
Till many a day had gone.
There were guests who came to my portal,
There were friends who sat with me,
And, clad in soberest raiment,

Though its splendor none might see'
There were poor that stood at my portal,

But had nothing besides to spare;

And the raiment for daily wear.

So out from the dust I bore it

And fold on fold held itup
To the searching light of day.
Alas the glory had perished
While there in it's place it lay.

Must seek for the use that seals
To the grace of constant blessing
The beauty that use reveals,
For into the folded robe alone
The moth with it's blighting steals.

s6~ The Canary Islands, the largest of
which is Teneriffe, are falling into a misera-
BILE condition consequent upon the discov-
cry of aniline and the fabrication Of colors
from it. For three centuries past Spanish
inertness caused these beautiful and richly
endowed islands to exist solely upon the
breeding of the cochineal insect, which is
not able to compete with the much brighter
and cheaper aniline dyes. The islanders
have therefore lost their main source of
support. Those who have anything left
emfgrated to Brazil, frequently leaving
their wives and children to beg and starve

ANCEsTRY.-Whe Ben Franklin, grimy
young printer, was carrying his forms
through the street one day, he met young
fellow of his own age, the son Of an aristo-
cratic family, who was so poor as toWant
meal.
Franklin offered to find work for him in
neighboring shop, but received the naughty
rebuff:
"The G-'s are not fallen so low as to
become mechanics"
When Franklin was Minister to France,
this man died pauper in the Philadelphia
almshouse.
Family pride of another kind was shown
by a sturdy farmer in Congress, who, when
an attempt was made to buy his vote on
certain question, replied: ''Sir, every one
of my kin in the old graveyard at home
would rise if / should touch that money!
l would not dare to do it,"
In countries where social rank, estate and
title, all solid realities, descend in an un-
broken line, there is some apology for fami-
ly pride, and even in America it is natural
for a man to take a keen interest in those
whose blood and character he inherits. AS
long as the knowledge that his ancestors
have been truthful, honest, manly men,
helpers in Gods world, makes him more
anxious to be himself honest, Independent
and useful, family pride is a help in his life.
But when, as is more often the case, we see
a family daWdle weakly through life, un-
willing to engage in trade or honest work,
iustifying their right to be alive by theirfar-
off kinship to some titled or rich dead man,
pride of birth is only a hindrance, and is a
vulgar and absurd pretense.
Honor and fame from no condition rise,
Act well your part there all the honor lies.

ALCOHOL OLSCIENTIFICALLY CONSIDERED.
Medical men who have become enthusiastic
as to the possibilities of alcohol, have often
prescribed it for every condition Of eXhaus-
tion for long time. The results are often
possible transient good at the expense of
prOpagating disease more intractible and
disastrous than the one they sought to re-
lieve. The frequency Of inebriety has
brought out special medical declaration in
England, signed by most of the physicians
and surgeons, asserting that alcoholic liquids
should be prescribed with as much care as
any powerful drug. The disease Of inebrie-
ty may be compared to malaria which hav-
ing once pervaded the system leavesa pecu-
liar predisposition which only waits train
of exciting causes to spring into activity.
Inherited conditions of organism may exist
which give direction to weakened function
al activities, exploding in inebriety with
great certainty. The medical of alcohol to
such persons becomes the exciting cause,
awakening and fixing conditions that may
not break out at once, but sooner or later
will be manifest. Anemia, neuralgia and
some conditions of rheumatism are often de-
veloped into serious disease by alcohol.
The general rule may be laid down, that all
cases of physical and mental exhaustion are
extremely susceptible of poisoning by alco-
hol, and liable to take on diseased condi-
tions that are more or less permanent from
it's use. From the best authority in this
country and in Europe the use of alcohol in
the sick room is attended with great danger
unless judiciously used. The conditions
ra-indicating it's use are numerous and
should be studied carefully where alcohol is
thought to be of value. The value of alcO-
hol for medicine is not assumed beyond
all question the evidence upon whichit has
or accurate clinical bservation.-Nedical

DRINKING IMPURE WATER Set a pitch
er of iced water in an unoccupied room, and
in few hours it will have absorbed nearly
all the perspired gasses in the room, the air
of which will have become purer, but the
water utterly filthy. This depends upon the
fact, that water has the faculty of condens-
ing and absorbing nearly all the gasses,
which it does without increasing its own
bulk The colder the water is, the greater
its capacity to contain these gases. At or
dinary temperature pint of water will
contain pint of carbonic acid gas and sew
eral pints of ammonia. Hence, water kept
in a room awhile is unfit for use, and should
be often removed, whether it has become
warm or not. That which has stood in a
pitcher over night, is not fit for coffee
water nextmorning. Impure water is more
injurious to health than impure air, and
every person should provide means Of OBJ
tanning fresh, pure water for domestic pur-
pOses.-DiO LelCis.

THE BAPTIST BIBLE.-1n 1855 the ortho-
doX Baptists were able to raise more than
half million dollars to pay for the trans
lation of the Bible which should give to
the passages relating to baptism their exact
meaning as understood by those who con-
tend that complete immersion is essential t.
real baptism. Nowadays, judging by the
proceedings Of the recent Baptist ConveI
tion in Saratoga, the Importance of sepa-
rate Bible is not thought worth fighting
over and the American and Foreign Bible
Society, organized years ago to distribute
the Bible in which the word JdptitlzO was
translated immerse was voted out of eXis-
tence by vote of 400 to 36. Interest in the
matter seems to havestrangely Waned. Yet
the money and self-sacrifcing laborinvOlved
in the Baptist translation amazed the world
twenty-five years ago. When $500, 600 had
been collected for the work of transla-
ton, commissioners were sent to all parts
of the world to procure books needed in the
work. 1t took four or five years to get this
library together at a cost OF $2O0,0OO. 1t IS
now stored in the basement of church in
New York, and consists of 123 volumes of
the Church Fathers, 162 copies of the Greek
and Hebrew Scriptures, 124 ancient versions
of the Bible, 1893 translations, S9l commen-
taries, 293 leXicons and grammars, 223 vol
umes of Biblical history and criticisms, 272
volumes of Greek and Roman history, and
several thousand miscellaneous volumes,
ancient and modern, relating to the subject.
For years the best scholars in the Church.
Drs. Thomas Conant, A. c. Kendrick and
H. B. Hackett (now dead)-worked without
ceasng. The first volumes of the new ver-
sion were issued in 1866, but since then
there has been constant trouble in getting
the recognized Bible Societies organized for
such work to distribute it, the charters of
these institutions not allowing them to
change their version. For years the cause
of Baptist Bible has been losing ground,
and the result of the recent Convention was
not unexpected.
The fine library gathered for the work Of
translation was sold some years ago for
$4,000 to Capt. Morgan, retired sea cap
tain, who, it is understood, will give it to
some Baptist college.
