from the dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned but, try.

I write this because You do mi
especially reccomend Vinegar Bit
tiers for bilious collie. Only those
who have suffered the agpnies o.
this disease, can understand what 4
boon q sure cure is, and in Old Style
Vinegar Bitters you have the best
and perhaps the only real remedy
known.
In reply to Mr.. Page we will shy
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds
Of diseases; we have not the space
to catalogue them, and perhaps i
we published them those unac'
quainted by experience with oul
valuable remedy, might doubt it,
efficacy still, as SO many worthless
preparations are thrust upon the
market and pulled in so many ex'
travagent ways.
The fact remains, however, thai
those who have been accustomed K
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
of time, are hale and hearty, wheth
er they are young or old. Those
who doubt and fail to take it arr

In 1880 there were some sc, COX, 900 people in
the United States, and about S62 600 moro
males than females. That was only because
more males were born; the females live the
longest OF the centenarians l 400 were men
and 2,607 were women. The boys start out
nearly million ahead and are in the major
ity until the sixteenth year, when the girls
are little more numerous. Sweet sixteen is
a numerous age, anyhow. After that, first
one and then the other is in the majority, the
girls gradually gaining after thirty-six and
leaving the men far behind after seventy-five.
To balance this longevity of the females, in
almost every state a few more boys are born;
not many more, but almost always few.
1t is astonishing to see where the census
gives thousands and hundreds of thousands Of
boys and girls under year old, there are,
with one OF two exceptions, always a few
hundred more boys, and only few hundred
more. In only six of the forty-nine states
and territories are more girls born, and in
these states they are very slightly in excess,
from eleven to eighty. These exceptions are
Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Mon
tana and North Carolina

The velocity of waves is said to depend
primarily upon the power and continuance
of the wind, but it is greatly modified by and
bears an ascertsinable relation to their mag
nitude and the depth of water over which they
travel. 1t has been calculated by Airy that
q wave 100 feet in breadth, and in water 100
feet deep, travels at the rate of about 15miles
an hour; one LOCO feet broad, and in water
1000 feet deep, at the rate of As miles; one Of
10000 feet in breadth, and in water 10000
feet deep, will sweep forward with a velocity
of not less than l54 miles an hour. Bache
stated, as one of the effects of an earthquake
ut Samoda, Oh the Island of Niphon, in
Japan, that the harbor was first emptied Of
water, and then came in an enormous wave,
which again receded and left the harbor dry.
This occurred several times. The self acting
tide register at San Francisco, which records
the rise of the tide upon cylinders turned by
clocks, showed that at that place, 800 miles
from the scene of the earthquake, the first
wave arrived 10 hours and II minutes after
it had receded from the harbor of Samoda
1t had travelled across the broad bosom of
the Pacific ocean at the rate of g. miles per
minute. DR.. Scoresby found the travelling
rate of the Atlantic waves to be y. 81 English
miles per hour.

The marriage of Mr.. Ben Sheeks and his
departure for the west with the intention
of making Tacoma, Washington territory,
his home, was the absorbing topic of con-
versation yesterday among the friends he
has left behind him. Why, it was asked,
should a gentleman, one of the very fore
most lawyers of the territory, in the enjoy
ment of a large practice in one of the most
promising cities of the west, forsake ell for
a new and untried feld' Mr.. Sheeks, who
had been probate judge at Omaha, and a
prominent man in the early politics Of
Wyoming. came to Utah in 1872, shortly
after the advent of the railroad, and with
the exception of one year spent in the
r.irorous climate Of Montana, he has been a
constant resident of our city. Mr.. Shocks
Is sfaunch Democrat, and has welcomed
esverv effort to secure for the party firm
] footing on the soil of Utah, but was con-
WINGED that local issues would for many
cars dominate the situation; he therefore
Sstsred to seek some locality where
nE might have voice in snap
ing the movements of his party.
It is not, however, political am
bition that was the principal cause OF his
going. He is satisfied that there viii be a

The Yankee.

The theories as to the origin of the word
Yankee are numerous, and the choice of one
of them may be made to suit the best judg-
ment of the reader. DIR. William Gordon, in
a history of the American war published in
1889, said it was a cant word in Cambridge,
Mass, as early as 1713, and was used to denote
especial excellence, as yankee good horse, ="
yankee good CIDER" etc. He supposed it
was originally byword in the college, and
being taken by students into other parts of
the country, was applied to New Englanders
as term of slight reproaeh, and gradually
obtained general currency throughout New
England. Thierry says it was a corruption
of Jankin, diminutive of John, which was a
nickname given by the Dutch colonists of
New York to their ueighbors in the Connect
cut settlements.
Aubury, an English writer, says it is de-
rived from Cherokee word ''eankke," which
signifies coward and slave. This epithet was
bestowed ON the inhabitants of New England
by the Virginians for not assisting them in Il
war with the Cherokees, and they have al
ways been held in derision by it. Another
theory, and one which is regarded the most
probable, is that of Mr. Heckewelder, that the
Indians, in endeavoring to pronounce the word
English or Anglais, made it Yengees, or Yam
gees, and this originated the term. There is
no doubt that the name was given by the In
dams to the English colonists; from them it
was adopted by the British, who applied it
generally to New Englanders only. Euro
peans subsequently applied it to all people OF
the United States, and during the war the
southerners dubbed all inhabitants of the
northern states by the epithet, but it origi-
nally belonged solely to native New Eng
landers.

4 Model Man,

Several years ago an artist of Dresden per
suaded locksmith there to give up his trade
and become an artists model. 1t was good
thing for the locksmith who is now the fa-
nous muscle man of Dresden whose mag
nifcently developed body makes him proba-
bly, the most renowned model in the world.
In order to preserve for future artists an ex-
act duplicate OF his extraordinary figure the
director of the Royal Saxon Povzellanfabrik
at Nielsen recently invited him there that a
cast from life might be taken of the upper
part of his body. 1t is said that ''his muscu-
lar development is so complete and detailed
that even the least and slightest cord Of every
muscle stands forth prominently, and his
whole body looks as if it were woven to-
gether or plated like basket work. His mus
Giles have such a hardness that they feel to
the touch as if Uney were carved in wood"

{ used in ell parts Of the far east as means of
communication between the natives and the
foreigners. During nearly half century,
and especially since the opening of many of
the Chinese ports to Europeans, business re-
lations have developed to suchva proper
tions and reached into so many channels that
some universally understood means of COM
munication became absolutely necessary, and
pidgin or pigeon English was the result Its
requirement in the coast ports, at all events,
| is a matter of Importance both with traders
and with natives. who seek situations in for
eign employ, and it has become popular
medium of communication.
Already this rude form of our language
bids fair not only to reach all tie peoples of
the far east, but it is extending as q new form
of speech in this country and in Australia,
and wherever else the patient, industrious
Chinaman locates himself for the purposes of
gain. Experts in the east have amused them
selves and their friends with TRANSACTIONS of
English poetry into pigeon English. TWO
verses of Longfellows Excelsior have been
rendered as follows:
Too muchee darkee come chop chop
One young man walkee, no can STOP
Siaskee snow maskee icel

Topside-Galah.
He muchee soly, one piecee eye
LOOKED sharp, so, all same my
He talkee large, he talsee strong.
Too muchee curio all same gong.
Topside-Gaah.
As there is an Anglo-Chinese language
called pigeon English, so there is an Anglo
Indian of somewhat similar character,
called baboo English, a mixture of English
and Hindostan words.

The REIMBURSEMENT of Sumter.

There was terrific rush to Garfield
Beach last evening, the occasion being the
pyrotechnic spectacle, the "Bombardment
OF Fort SUMTER Even during the early
hours of the day, large numbers were seen
moving towards the depot, and in the
afternoon, the trains were fairly iammed,
while the 500 train was mass Of hu-
manity.
On arriving at the beach, the business
that the earlier trains had done became
evident. Every point Of view was Oecu
pied, and the beach was fairly lined with
spectators. The night was most beautiful,
the moon being nearly full and the sky a
clOudleSs one.
The bombardment was advertised
to start promptly at 9:16, and a
few minutes thereafter it com
menced, and the display lasted for
nearly one hour. Barring the omission OF
the closing piece advertised, the display
was a most satisfactory one.

TURNED OUT OF THE FIELD.

This they did on several occasions and each
time the horse saw its friend attacked it gal
loped up to the rescue and drove the boys off.
One day the leader of this gang of young
rascals struck the goat sharply with a big
stick. This had no sooner been done than the
horse seized the boy by the collar of his jacket
and flung him over the fence into the road.
1t need hardly be told that his companions
fed before the Infatuated animal had time to
eject them from the field, and that ever after
the goat was permitted to Craze in peace.
