Clinging to the Last.


The virus of rheumatism often re-
mains in the system through life,
when it does not cut the thread of ex-
istence suddenly, as it is always liable
to do by attacking the heart. Ere the
grip of this tenacious disease tightens,
it should be Embossed by that beneti-
cent liberator from disease, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which will free
the sufferer at the outset from subse-
quent pain pnd danger. No purer or
more agreeable blood depurent exists,
as multitudes of the rheumatic and
neuralgia have ascertained by certi-
fed experience. 1t is through the me-
dunn of a regular action of the kidneys
and bladder that an outlet is afforded
for the escape of impurities which be-
get not only rheumatic, but equity all
ments, and dropsical illusions: To
these organs the Bitters gives an i'm
pulse, never verging on the bounds of
irritation, but sufficiently vigorous to
cause them and the bowels to per-
form their functions with clock-1ike
precision. Use it also for dyspepsia,
biliousness, fever and ague and de-
bility.

George w. Vanderbilt is paying
for beautiful building for the New
York Circulating Library, although
the source of the money has hitherto
been kept as secret as possible. The
house will be ready for occupation in
July, and George will stock it with
bonds to an extent which will make
his investment altogether about $780,
600. George Vanderbilt is the studious
and artistic member of the present
generation of Vanderbilts. His health
has never been robust and from boy
hood he has led an indoor life.

EUROPEAN CEREAL CROPS.

Data Gathered From the. Reports of the Inter-
national Seed and Grain Convention Held at
Vienna
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Edmund Jussen,
consul general at Vienna, has transmit
ted to the department of state certain
data gathered from the reports of the in
ternational seed and grain convention re-
Gently held in thai city, relative to the
condition of European cereal crops In
Austria and Hungary the yield of wheat
for the year 1887 is esti-
mated 100000 bushels. an in
crease OF nearly % per cent.
over the average yield of that country,
while 100000 bushels is the estimated
yield of rye, also a considerable increase.
The crop of oats, however, is hardly suffic-
lent to cover the home demand In
Russia rye has yielded an average crop;
barley is of excellent quality, but the
crop of oats is poor,and the prospect of
potatoes are not very promising. Iu the
Scandinavian countries an average
amount of wheat is produced, but rye and
oats fall far below the average. The
wheat crop of Italy is poor and the i'm
port demand of the country for the
cereal will amount ID about thirty million
bushels. The corn crop is above the aver
age and the country has surplus for
export. The wheat crops of Switzerland
and Holland are above the average,
while that of northern Russia is below
the average. The wheat crop of France
is large, but g considerable quantity of
wheat must be imported to meet the
home demand, as the quantity in store is
very limited. In Great Britain and Ire
land the average wheat crop is expected.
The total yield is estimated at from
100000 TO 100000 quarters so that
after deducting seed 100000 to 9,000,-
600 quarters will be left for home con-
sumption and an importation of from
100000 to 100000 quarters will be
required. The English wheat in store is
believed to be very nearly exhausted and
foreign wheat in store in England is quite
limited. Barley will yield ten per cent.
less than the usual average; oats fifteen
per cent. less and beans and peas from
forty to fifty per cent. less. Potatoes
are healthy but the crops will be small.
In British India the yield of wheat for
1887 is estimated at {, 10000 tons. From
January to June 80, 1887, British India
exported TO Europe 9,67O,516 cwts. OF
wheat. The expectation of certain quail
tiles of hops from Europe 10 the United
States of late has increased to a c0nsid
cradle extent. The increase from Aus
tria Hungary alone during the year 1886
over the previous year amounted in de-
clared value to 66,257, the total amount
of hops sent to 5he United States being
valued at $189,915.

structed me to send forward to Mr.. Davis
with all possible dispatch. This note I
had borne through all the horrors of the
night sewn inside the left breast of my
coat. I now detailed an officer TO carry it
to its destination, giving him all neces-
sary authority to impress horses when his
own gave out. 1 have since learned that
it was a private preliminary report On
the Gettysburg conflict, expressing Lees
opinion that it was drawn battle, and
announcing his intention of with draw
ing his army again to Virginia.
"Gen Lee sfterward showed his appre-
citation of my conduct of the train by
putting me in charge of the East Valley
district, position that was assigned but
once or twice during the war"
Gen. Imboden said that he was still liv-
ing in the Virginia mountains, about
three hundred miles beyond his cid home.
He is now employed in developing the
mining and other resources of the coun-
try. Last September, by invitation, he
visited the region where he had raised his
hardy command, and at Ronuey and
elsewhere he met seven hundred of the
survivors,

The Arch of Titus.

The Jew could not call this monumel. {
hallowed. It is magnificent alch of
marble and bronze, erected by the CRATE
full Roman senate TO commemorate the
victory over the Jews at the time of the
capture and destruction of Jerusalem. It
has been said that the Jew has never
walked voluntarily beneath the arch. It
is fine piece of workmanship, is IN re-
markabie state of preservation, consider
ing the length of time it has stood, and
the fearful vicissitudes to which the city
has been subjected. 1t is however, es-
pecially valuable as a confederation of
biblical truth. Jerusalem was then great
city, and Titus did take it, else why the
existence of this monument? There the
walls of the temple, cracking with the
fury OF the pitiless flames, lang totter-
ing In the act Of ruin. There you see the
Jewish matrops, children and bearded old
men gathered in groups to suffer the
rapine and license of an enraged soldiery.
The victors bearing in their profane
hands the holy canilesticks, the tables
OF shew- bread, and the sacred trumpets
used in worship. Think but for mo-
mcnt that the arch speaks to you. The

Intermarriage Of cousins.

IT think some of the worst specimens
of humanity / ever saw are TO be found
right here in Passaic county"
what causes it?"
"Poor food, exposure and intermar-
riage. The last is the chief cause of the
trouble. These mountaineers are all
more or less related, and new blood Is
seldom introduced into the race. They
marry first cousins, whose parents were
first cousins, and so 1t has gone for gen
erations past. They live on pork and
buckwheat cakes, sleep in slab novels, and
withal are dreadfully immoral. It is
strange that there are not more idiots
among the mountain GERS, but there are
enough. There is little settlement only
few miles from here, I don't know just
where it is located, but salesman told
me last year that there is only one strain
of blood in the whole place, and that
everybody has weak blue eyes and faxen
hair. They are ali yellow and freckled,
thin and weak. He says that there about
half q dozen idiots In the hamlet, and
that the people are the most wretched
human beings he ever saw. You ought
to hunt them up"
"Do you know anything about the
swarthy natives about the lake?"
''Not mu h, except that they are all
closely related, and have Indian blood in
them. Some of these families have
existed he-e for nearly three bundled
years, and get their names from old pro-
prietors of the land. I don't want to be
p srsonal, but l know one family here,
and big one too, that gets it's name
from family for whom its ancestors
worked as slaves.

JAPANESE PILGRIMS.
The Sacred Mountain, Nastaisan, ana its Wis.
itOrS

~
it0rs.
Nastaisan is sacred mountain with
temple at the foot of it and shrine5 ali
the way to the top, where there is an
altar, upon which the repentant murder
ers offer up the swords with which they
bave done their evil deeds, writes a cor
respondent of the st. Louis Globe. In
August each year pilgrims come by hun
dreds, and, first cleansing themselves in
the lake, pass under the toril, say prayer
at the temple and begin the seven mile
climb to the summit. They pay 20 cents
for the privilege of climbing the straight
staircase to the top of the mountain, and
this permits the priest to keep the under
brush trimmed and the path always well
cleared. The pilgrims sleep in barracks
provided by the government, and few
coppers secure a mat, the shelter of the
roof and the use Of the fireplace in these
barracks swarm with pilgrims in white
clothes who wear big straw hats, pie -es OF
straw mating over their shoulders for
rain coats, and are troubled with no bag
gage. After they climb the mountain
they make the half circuit of the lake to
visit little shrines and temples hidden in
the lakes shores snd then either trujge
over to YGmoto TO soak their bodies in
hot Sulphur water or else go down TO the
plains and home to their ripening rice
fields. These pilgrims are picturesque in
their way, but they have so many smaller
pilgrims with them that it is pleasanter
TO wait until they and their wicked feas
are less numerous at wayside tea houses
and IN Chiuzenji's one street.

Editor and His Pipe.
New York Sun.

A French nobleman recently visited
Thomas A. Edison. While he was in the
laboratory the nobleman offered the
American wizard a fine and long Havana
cigar. When the stranger left the wizard
had smoked the cigar about half way,
and then he discovered that it was out.
He touched his electrical cigar lighter to
relight the cigar, when it struck him that
the cigar did not suit him at all. He
threw it on the floor. picked up his old
dudheen, filed it with good Virginia to-
bacco and said to himself: my old
pipe beats all the cigars L ever tried" 1t
is said that Edison is now perfecting a
new kind OF pipe, which will cause a
revolution in pipe smoking.

A Joke on the Duke.
San Francisco argonaut

San FRANCISCO ergOnauG.
Duke Carl, of Wurtembery, was q great
hand at a practical joke in his younger
days. Once he called at a farm house
and asked the farmers wife, who was
churning, for drink of milk. She did
not know her visitor, but went away to
fetch the milk. when the duke seized a
cat, which was lying near and threw it,
together with ducat, into the churm.
When the woman returned, he drank the
milk and walked away. i year late the
same prince entered the house in offer
ent dress. and again asked for glass of
milk, and inquired whether some one
hadn't once secreted cat in her chnrn.
The farmers wife laughed, aud said:
"Oh, yes; and I wouldn's mind his doing
it again at the same price, ''What did
you do with the batter you were churning
then?" "Oh! sent it TO the palace,
where they take all my stuff"
