Not to be Trified With.
From Cincinnati Gazette

Will people never learn that 'cold"
is an accident to be dreaded, and that
when it occurs treatment should be
promptly applied? There is no know
ing where the trouble will end and
while complete recovery is the rule,
the exceptions are terribly frequent,
and thousands upon thousands of fatal
illnesses occur every year ushered in
by little injudicious exposure and
seemingly trifing symptoms. Beyond
this, there are to-day countless invalids
who can trace their complaints to
"colds," which at the time of occurrence
gave no concern, and were therefore
neglected. When troubled with cold
use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t
is prompt and effectual. 25 and 30
cent bottles for sale by L. Stabler & Co.,
druggists.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, Mar. is, 1856.
A CALIFORNIA CURIOSITY.

On the tip end of Point Pinos, in
Monterey county, California, is one OF
the most curious natural rock forma-
tons in the State. 1t is interesting be-
cause it is so natural. Viewed in any
position from the Landslide it looks like
gigantic stone carving of a mans
h ad. The exact location of the rock
is about 500 feet above the Point Plnos
Ii .hthouse in northerly direction. AT
10 y tide it is high out of the water and
at high tide al the profile shows but
th lower part of the chin.
There is no effort of the Imagination
required to see mans head. IL is ss
plain MS auy s. aiue ever carved. 1t Is
so perfectly blocked in." as sculptors
saw, that it is bard to believe it's not
ne work of human hands. The charsc-
er of the head is that of strong, vlgor'
Gus man. The hair is pushed back from
the forehead and the mustache is IN the
style of the early German soldiers.
Fractures 10 the rock in ust the right
place form the eyes and nostrils, and
projection makes a perfect ear. The
head seems to be reclining back ward,
and the eye is partly closed, giving an
easy and graceful expression to the
face.
The head is com posed of granite, al.
though the formation nearby is some
sort of metamorphic rock. 1t is light
gray in color and so hard that it will
most likely stand the seas that sweep
over it for centuries to come.

ASURPRIsE FOR MAMMA.-Every one
who has read Prof. Sully's "Studies of
Childhood" must acknowledge the Amer
lean child to be subject worthy of
study. But the following delicious
production which we received from the
medical man to whom it was
sent shows, we think, that the child
mind in this country is equally interest:
ing. The letter is written upon small
pink paper, ornamented with picture
of a pony, and we transcribe it verbatim,
emitting only LANES and addresses:
"Dear DR.. -, l would be very
pleased if you would let me have a
Baby for one guinea. We want it on
The 4th of Febry for Mothers birthday.
We would like it fat and Benny, with
blue eyes and fair hair. We Children
are going to give it to her ourselves
please answer at once-Yours sincerely,
Archie -. P. S.-Which would be
the cheaper Boy or Girl ?"
We commend this to the notice OF
Prof. Sully. The P. S. is delightful,
and who is there shall answer the mo-
mentous question? The age of the
writer-the eldest child-we may add,
is seven. We are honored with the &C
quaintance of young lady aged five
who one day remarked, Father, dear,
why is our baby such an unpleasant,
common little thing"
But this only shows from what differ
emit points of view children may look at
the same thing.-IHe London Lancet.
