Where Vanity Displays Itself.

If men will be mighty then they must
make up their minds to be laughed at; and
with reason, for when plain shrewd
man speaks of performing his ablutions
when he washes his hands, or tells you that
Phoebus was but coloring the Orient when
ne means to say the sun was rising, or re-
turns to the parental domicile when he
goes home, be sure with all his shrewd-
ness he has a weakness somewhere, and that
weakness is vanity.

BILE POISONED BLOOD,

Nearly every one is occasionally troubled
with bilious attacks, more especially in the
spring months, after the system has been sur
feited with hearty food during the winter. The
action of the Liver is interfered with. causing
an overflow of bile into the blood. The blood
carries this bile into every part of the system,
causing yellow skin, yellow eyes, liver spots,
ETC., and often serious cases of bilious fever
originate from this bile poisoned blood. A
few doses of Burdock Blood Bitters, taken on
appearance of bilious symptoms, will remove
them and protect the system from a probable
serious attack

A Pefri6ed Bible.

From the Indianapolis Journal
While clearing an old swamp lass. week,
Mr.. Martin Flush, living near Pleasant
Valley, discovered quite curiosity. Sew
eral feet beneath the leaves and muck he
unearthed what appeared to be a stone
book. Close inspection showed it to be

who have examined the book state that it
was originally real book and is now petri-
fed.

PITCAIRN ISLAND.
Interesting Notes on the Descendants OF

interesting Notes on the Descendants OF
the Mutineers.
Capt. William Smith, master of the
bark Firth, of Clyde, in his last voyage
from San Francisco to Falmouth, touched
at Pitcairn Island, the home of some of
the descendants of the mutineers of her
majesty's ship Bounty. He furnishes The
Chronicle with the following interesting
notes of the visit to the island:
Pitcairn Island is situated in the South
Pacific ocean, lat. % dogs. south, lon.
1870 dogs. west, and is directly in the
track of vessels from California home
ward bound by Cape Horn. 1 left San
Francisco on Jan. 10 and called off
Adamstown, Pitcairn Island, on Satur-
day, Feb. 8, when James Russell Mccoy,
chief magistrate, with six others, came
off in their boat. The names of the
boats crew were: Benjamin Stanley
Young, Ernest Haywood Christian,
William II. G.. Christian, James Sanford
Warren, Elias Christian, all natives of
the island, and Philip Coffin, a ship
wrecked sailor, married and settled on
the island.
There are twenty-five families on the

was presented to the islanders by Queen
Victoria. Judge of my establishment
when Mr.. Mccoy informed me that this
was their Sabbath, and as they had
missed their morning service through
coming off to the ship, if 1 had no objec-
tons he would hold divine service on
board, which he did in a very able man
ner. The reason he gave for keeping the
seventh instead of the first day of the
week was that as God had given the Ten
Commandments to Moses, written on
tables of tone on Mount Sinai, and we
acknowledge nine of them, we should
not discard the fourth, as it distinctly
says the seventh day and not the first,
which argument carries some weight
with it. Religious books were gladly
received, especially those of the Rev.
Robert Murray Chayne, late minister of
st. Peters church, Dundee. The Chris
tan Herald was eagerly sought after.
They are well posted in the doings of
the outer world, and were quite CONVEX

fully received. They are an extremely
kind hearted and simple people. They
brought a quantity of pumpkins, &C
nuts, bananas, ~pineapples, eggs and a
lovely bouquet of flowers. Mrs. Mccoy
also sent half of n cooked fowl and a
piece of a pudding made from sweet po-
tatoes and Indian corn for the captains
dinner. 1t vas with the greatest diff
Guilty 1 got them to accept anything in
return, it being their Sabbath day. The
only things that Mr.. Mccoy would ac-
cept were some vino for communion
purposes and some medicine. After re-
naming on board about two hours the

Experimenting With the Elixir.
CLEVELAND, Aug. I2.-The question
OF the efficacy OF the Brown Sequard
elixir was submitted to day to a tribunal
of thirty two ladies and gentlemen. That
their verdict might have weight in the
scientific world especial care was taken in
the selection of the first requisite. 1t
was that they should have some positive
ailment. The next consideration was
that they should be persons of sound in
t~elligence and good standing in the COM
munity.
DIR. Ii. G. Brainard this morning visi-
ted Brighton and was given the privilege
of selecting his victims for the slaughter
from a large flock of sheep. They were
killed in his presence and after having
secured the parts desired for experiments
he started back to the city. The jurors
are comprised of twenty four men and
eight women. They were attorneys. doc
tors. ministers and business men. One was
a lightning manipulation who was suffering
from telegraphic paralysis.
1t was arranged that they should make
a written statement of the effects of the
experiment, and tomorrow afternoon
they will submit their reports. Upon re
ceiving the statements DR.. Brainard will
compile a concise and perfectly candid re.
port of the experiment. He feels that
his scientific reputation is in a measure at
stake and will present the situation in its
proper light.
