SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.-The Chronicle
publishes in substance the following mar
vel. Captain w. F. Swasey, the oldest
pioneer of the coast, makes a statement of
the intense suffering of his friend Col. D..
J. Williamson, an Army officer of dist;nc.
ton and an Ex-U. s. Consul, who was at
tackled in the winter of 1862 with violent
rheumatism. So great was his agony in
after years, he became a helpless cripple,
and after trying numberless remedies, the
baths OF other countries and spending a
fortune of $40, 900, the disease seemed to as.
sumo a moro virulent type. Finally, he
was persuaded to try st. Jacobs Oil, the
great conqueror of pain. 1t worked a mir
acle of cure. In a letter to the Chronicle
he confirms Capt. Swasey's statement and
adds: 81 cheerfully give my unqualified
attestation to the truthfulness of the state
ment, because I feel perfectly certain that
a knowledge of my cure by st. Jacobs Oil
will prove the means of relieving hundreds
Of sufferers"

Recently a strange scene in one of
the principal Birmingham, (England),
thoroughfares was the subject of magis-
terial proceedings. A sweep named
Cheshire ran up a ladder to the roof of
a gentleman's house, and, for the edit
cation of a large crowd, stood upon his
head on the top of a chimney-pot, at the
same time performing with his legs a
variety OF ~fantastical movements. The
chimney collapsed and fell into the
street, doing damage to the extent of a
sovereign, and causing several persons
to have narrow escapes, while the adj
venterous performer rolled into the
waterspout, which alone saved him
from instant death. Ultimately he was
rescued through a skylight in the ROOT.
Cheshire was fined S., and 20s. damages.

wonderfully fond of the BARN, sir, and
the sight broke me down, and one or
two heaving sobs came from me, no
more to be helped by me than the
tightness in my throat. o, sir, it was
as if a beautiful little Indian bird that
you had cherished and looked after had
died of the Cape cold in spite of your
love. Only this was an immortal be-

We had plucked from the very brink of
an ocean grave into which his mothers
dead embrace was dragging him; and
we had learned to love him.

was too much upset sir. The sailmaker
made a tiny hammock for him, and they
put his hands together, and smoothed
the little wreaths of yellow hair upon
his head, and dressed him in clean
things, and, before he was stitched up,
all hands lay aft to say good-by, and
ne'er a man among them that entered
the cabin but stopped to give the little
cold face a kiss before leaving. We
kept him till next day, and buried him
after eight bells had been made.
at was a green, windy, glistening
morning; the emerald seas ran at us,
melting in froth as they came; and the
shadows of the men gathered around
the gangway, swayed at our feet as the
bark rolled over the surges, and the
dancing sun darted beams like spoar
OF light from the clouds through which
he swung. o, sir, the contrast of that
little hammock upon the grating with
the huge grave that was to receive it!
The service was almost more than some
of us could bear; I'd see the men turn
their heads away, and look down, and

Fishes in Love.

"Ever see a fish make loveP" asked
a naturalist. "Well. here's a chance
he continued, pointing to a small square
tank. '1n there are some ~sticklebacks
that were sent to me some time ago,
and for quite a while they have been
working at their nests.
"Build nests? 1 should say so. The
stickleback can build as good a nest as
a robin. I've been watching this honey
moon business for about a week. I
first noticed the male began to change
his color, becoming a bright red, and
o he began to collect small sticks
and pieces of fibre of various kinds:
these he began to mould into regular
form, and then passed around them
with a quivering motion, that was to
glue the material together.
"Where did the glue come fromP''
asked the reporter.
st comes from a special gland"
was the reply.
invisible cords the nest was kept in
shape. Every once in a while the fish
would dash into the nest, and finally
a hole was formed, so that the nest is
as you see it now-an oval about three

center. The material is mostly threads
that l put in for the fish to use. Now
just watch the little fellow"
Taking a large hand magnifier, the
stickleback was soon brought into
view, looking as large as a trout. He
was engaged in a desperate chase after
a coquettish female that lodged here
and there in fruitless efforts to avoid
him, and in a few moments she was
cornered near the nest and reluctantly
passed into the home prepared for her.
That's the end of the courtship and
welded bliss" said the naturalist.
"The male prepares the house, drives
the female in, and when she has laid
the eggs, takes her place until they are
Matched, and, indeed, until the young
fishes are able to attend to them
selves"
The fish had already undertaken it's
duties and was stationed over the new
ly laid eggs, aerating them with it's
fins, occasionally rushing out to attack
the intruder. "He will do this" said
the owner, until the fish are Matched
and able to take care of themselves;
then he will tear down the nest."-

twenty-five Per Cent. Stronger than any
Other Butter Color,

BURLINGTON, Vt, May 3, IoS2.
L hereby certify that I have examined
the Butter Color prepared by Wells, Rich
ardson & Co., and that the same is free
from alkalio or any other substance injuri-
Gus to health; that I have compared it with
some of the best of the other Butter Colors in
the market and find it to be more than twen-
'y-hve per cent. stronger in color than the
JeSt of the others.
l am satisfied that it is not liable to be-
come rancid, or in any way to injure the
butter. l AVE examined it after two
months free exposure to the air in a place
liable to large changes of temperature,
er kinds similarly exposed became rancid.

LILY LITTLE WIFE.

NY little wife's a world too sweet
For such a.man as / am:
But she's a T~rojan-hard to beat
As Hector, son of Priam.
A winsome, wiIlful morsel she;
brought up to grace a palace,
She ran away to marry me,
Half love, half girlish malice.
She never has repented though:
We built a cot in Jersey;
She wore delaine n calico,
And l wore tweed n kersey.
So great our love, it bridged across
Whatever might divide us;
However went The gain or loss,
We felt as rich as Midas.
] helped her with the brush and broom,
Her morning labors aiding:
She followed to the counting-room.
Made out my bills of lading.
And once, when sick of chills 1 lay
She balanced up the pages;
Did all my work from day to day
And brought home all my wages.
Then I was Just a shipping-clerk-
Old firm of Graves n Gartner;
Till after long n weary work
They took me in as partner.
Then year on year went gaily round,
VIC grew ElCu duu TICutCt
Until in every spring w found
W. dipped a golden pitcher.
When Gartner left grown old and lame)
! bought him out completely;
Made wife a partner-changed the name
To Wheatly, Graves and Wheatly.
A silent partner? Not at all:
With genius more than Sapphic,
She improvised-that lady small
ME poetry of traffic.
And poetry, that's TRUTH perforce,
For Mrs. Browning said it.:
Her hand, unerriug, traced the course
OF debit and of credit
Her sense of honor fine as floss,
Yet strong as hempen cables,
Light as a lariat flung across,
Dragged Town our business fables.
She made our home a Paradise,
With taste supreme and subtle;
But said: 81 want no cloth of price,
Wrought with q knavish shuttle"
And fitting through our offices,
With word and smile ~admonished,
well work no metamorphosiS
To make a lie look honesti"
And so the business grew and grew,
With not a cloud to daunten;
Till wife, who wanted tea like dew,
Sent me adrift for Canton.
No sooner was 1 well at sea,
Than, with a whirl i~nsanic,
Down came that flood of '73,
And shook the world with panic.
Then many a house as strong as life
Was rem and torn asunder;
braves went trembling to my wife,
And said: Were going under"
Wife saw the gulf but kent her poise.
Disposed of plate and raiment,
Sold all her Jewels (but the boys),
And met the heaviest payment.
Then Graves and she with work and wit,
With care and self-denial,
Upheld the firm, established It
The surer for the trial.
Through all the strife they paid the hands
Full price; nom saw them falter,
And now the house, r~ock-founded, stands
As steady as Gibraltar.
But wife keeps with us. guards us through,
Like Miriam watching Moses;
She drinks her tea as pure asdew,
And sells it-fresh as roses.
Yes, she's a Trojan-hard to beat
As all the sons of Priam;
But bless you'll she's a world too sweet
For such a man as I ami

According to Rabbi S~onneschein, of
St. Louis, the American Jew can keep
Christmas without in the least violating
his religious convictions. The Rabbi
says that the 25th of December was
celebrated by the pagan world as the
time when the longest night gives way
to the ~lengthening of the day, and
that the early Christian church, which
had originally celebrated the natal day
OF its founder in the spring, accepted,
at the end of the fifth century, the pa
gan festival, transferring its celebra-
ton of Christ's birth to December.
Moreover, the Maccabean priests inst.
tuted a festival on the 25th of Kisler.
the corresponding Jewish month, to
take the place of this pagan feast.

king, driven out Greek idolatry.-St.
