pn e - ill' . 1 I Cooler's Dog. Cooley has got a new clog, and I am sorry to say that he is exceedingly vicious ; so vicious, indeed, that very few of the neighbors have courage enough to enter Cooley's yard. Judge Pitman, however, had to go in there the other day for the purpose of collect ing a bill, and he told me that he -wasn't a particle afraid, because he possessed thf power of holding a wild animal with his eye. When he looked straight into the eyes of a dog the brute quailed be fore his glance, and slunk away. He said it proved the superiority of a hu man being with a soul and a reselute will to the mere brute creation. So he I opened the gate and went in. Cooley's dog heard hira coming, and immediately flew to meet him. The Judge fixed his eye on the animal for the purpose of holding it, but the dog didn't seem to notice the circumstance. But still the Jnuge looked, and still the dog came on. Tlien it seemed to occur to the Judge that perhaps his kind of an eye might nt hold this kind of a dog, and he sud denly moved toward the apple-tree, with the dog close behind him. He became paftic-stricken, and made a furious effort to clamber up the trunk. He had just reached the first limb when the dog ar rived, and made a snap at him. The dog's teeth caught in the lower part of th Judge's trowser-leg, and as it is a bull-dog, he held on ; while the Judge lay across the limb on his stomach, out of breath, frightened and uncertain what to do. If he dropped, the dog would certainly eat him ; if he climbed further up, lie would have to take the dog with him. He had just made up his miud to stay where he was while his strength lasted, when he thought he heard the limb cracking, and then he yelled for help. Then Cooley came out, aud after making the Judge promise to take 20 fer cent, discount from the bill, he pried open the dog's jaws with the kitchen poker, and dragged him into the stable. The Judge came down, hot, breathless and mad ; and he has said to me since, privately, that the next time he wants to hold a dog with his eye he will impale him on a hay fork fyst. That is a safe way, anyhow. Banbury J&ews. Horrors of the South African Gold Diggings. An English emigrant, writing from Brisbane, gives a sad picture of the sufferings of those who went out to the Parmer gold' diggings. " Since the 17th of March," he says, "I have been very ill, but, now, I am thankful to say, I am perfectly recovered. Since I last wrote I have had something fearful to undergo, and I am one of the lucky ones to escape as I have. Hundreds of poot fellows have lost their lives, and what fearful deaths some of them have had.J Some, died from starvation, some were drowned, others were killed by blacks, and hundreds were carried off ky dysentery. Even grass and rotten horseflesh were -eagerly devoured. There were three others who started with me. One died, and the other two are now in hospital, and it is doubtful whether they will ever recover. We were nearly shipwrecked, and to save the vessel we had to smother seventy six horses among which were three of mine, worth 75. Anyhow, I managed to reach the gold field, and in one day I got -4 10s worth of gold and the fever with it. After being unable to walk or scarcely stand for about ten days, I started to walk back to the seaport 200 miles. All the provisions I had to carry me down were fcix pounds of flour and four ounces of tea neither sugar nor anything else. I counted twenty three fresh graves on the road, all ot which had been made since I went np about a fortnight before. Some had been traveling alone, and had lain down and died ; and there the bodies lay till the next traveler came along, and if they were not too much decomposed, they were buried ; if too far gone, a few branches were thrown over them, and theta. they were left. My expedition coat me ' 140, and I got 4 10s in return." Mushroom Cities. We suppose of no country but ours can the following, from the Baltimore Gazette, be "said : " To a resident of an Eastern city, or to the European, it is a most singular sensation to come, in America,' upon one of tlaose deserted mushroom cities which spring up in a a night and disappear in a morning. Through the mountains of Pennsylvania there are many of them generally min ing villages, after the mines have run out. Perched often on the top of a high mountain, the gunner or the curiosity- hunter comes suddenly upon them out of the densest solitude. There stand the Ileuses in a clearing, filled with wdd rasberrv bushes and vines and small shrubs black, bare and desolate, with hingeless doors and paneless windows with small trees growing up through thai, floors, and the ghawings of wild animals visiDle wnerever tne floor or walls were formerly er- ase-stained On fhe line of the Western railroads emptftthese tary towns appear and dis appear, and in the oil regions probably more strikingly and pretentiously, the foil Kointr more disastrous than else- whmt Such was Pithole Citv, Pa, accWffling to an exchange. Within one montfi Irom tne completion oi tne nrst hous this city had a telegraph office and-Khotel. costing the owners 80,000. In on month there was a daily paper established and in the next a theater ; in another month another theater, and tho-m academy of music. In eix months there were seventy-four hotels and hoarding-houses ; n- the seventh month the city had reached its highest prosperity. It had then about 15,000 inhabitants, elaborate water-works, a city Sail, and an expensive city govern ment".'' Its fall was quite as rapid. Only fifteen inhabitants now remain." I'm deepest coal shaft in the country was formerly that of the Hickory mine at Paltsville, Pa., which is sunk to the depSTof 666 feet at a coat of $100,000, and consuming 428 working days in its construction. This, however, is but little more than halt the contemplated deptnef two shafts now being excavated near Pottsviile by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, and whfdC are to be pushed a vertical dis tance of 1,500 feet, 900 in one shaft and 750 let in the other having already been -accomplished. At each shaft twenEy-five diamond drills are used, boring holes to the depth of between 200 aSd 300 feet, which are charged and bhurteS simultaneously. It is estimated that the completion of the work will developea mining area from which at least 80,000,000 tons of coal can be got. m . , Ur. i wtiai,.

Before he was 14 his father took him to the Continent to show him life. At Paris aud Baden they of course visited the gambling houses, and the boy, scaroaly entered upon his teens, alarmed even his father by the eagerness with which he entered into the play. At this early age he commenced the habit which became almost the ruling passion of his life ; which, in spite of the large estates left him by his father, and the great emoluments of his various offices, made him a poor man, haunted' by bailiffs, and pestered by duns. The sums which he lost were enormous. ' At one time ha is said to have played for twenty-two successive hours, losing .500 an hour. At another time, after he had lost fearfully, a friend called upon him to offer his condolences. He found Fox quietly reading "Herod otus," and upon expressing some sur prise at his philosophy, was asked : "What would you have me do, when I have just lost my last shilling? " At one time he found himself the winner of 8,000. One of his creditors, hear ing of his good luck, presented his note, and asked for payment. "Quite impossible," said Fox, "I must pay my debts of honor." "Well, then," said the creditor, throwing the note into the lire, " now mine is a debt of honor," and as such it was paid. This anecdote is somewhat differently rela'sl by Rog ers. According to him, it was Fox himself, who, pressed by a creditor, asked for tha note, tore it in pieces, and thus satisfied his conscience by paying the amount, which had thus be come a debt of honor. It is related, however, that Fox would never touch a card when ho was iu office, and when late iu life his political friends paid his debts he left off playing entirely. The Galaxy for September. Better Times Ahead. The news as to the condition of the harvests all over the world is very good. There is every reason to anticipate a year of cheap food, aud, as the general revival o; business depends in the long ran on cheap food, it is not unreasona ble to believe that we have seen the worst f the dull times, which certainly could not well be duller than they have been during the past few months. A comparison of prices in 1873 and 1874, made by the Economist, shows a con siderable f-T.ll in leading commodities since last fall, and prices being now fa vorable to consumers, we may fairly in fer that the improved tone in the iron trade, which is attracting attention m England, is prophetic of improvement in other branches of business, here as well as there. Neiv York Nation. The Hand. Profound study has led M. d'Airpen tigny to the conclusion that the hands represent three types. Those whose fingers have pointed tip3 are possessed of a rapid insight into things ; are extra sensitive and pious, impulsive. To this class belong the poets and artists. To the "square tops" belong scientific people ; sensible, self-contained charac ters, professional men. The spade shaped tops thick tips, with little pads of flesh on each side the nails are materialists, commercial, practical, with a high appreciation of all that tends to bodily ease ard comfort. .acn ringer, no matter what tne kind of hand, has also one joint that which is nearest the palm representing the body ; another, the middle, the mind ; and the top, the soul. Each of these divisions corre sponds with one of the types above given. Our Surplus of Wheat for Export. The Milwaukee Journal of Commerce has elaborate statistical tables of the wheat crop. It estimates the total crop at 300,000,000 bushels. Our estimated present population of 46,000,000 will consume at 4 bushels per capita, 217 000,000. For seed there will be wanted 35,517,667 bushels. This leaves an estimated surplus for export of 47,482, 333 bushels. Last year the same paper estimated the surplus for export at 53, 067,196 bushels. The actual exports, reducing flour to wheat at 5 bushels per barrel, were 52,574,111 bushels. The tables for 1874 having been pre pared with the greatest care, they are probably as reliable as the 1873 calcnla tions proved themselves to be. The total amount of cotton marketed from Sept. 1, 1873 to Sept. 1, 1874, was 4,185,534. This makes what is technic ally called the crop of 1873-4, but this is not the crop grown during the past summer, which will be much less. The September returns of the Department of Agriculture at Washington show a very heavy decline in the. prospects of the cotton crop in all the States, iu con sequence of the severe and widespread drought, and this year's cotton crop is estimated at only 3,500,000 to 3,700,000 bales. At an average price of 15 cents per pound for cotton, the de crease of half a million bales of cotton in the crop of the present year, as com pared with last year, will make a differ ence of nearly 840,000,000 to the South ern States. The smaller crop may, however, cause higher prices before the end of the vear. Notes on Advertising. To cure dull times apply an advertisement to the afflicted part. A sign-board can t tell everything. It takes an advertisement to do that. AH who advertise do not get rich, but precious few get rich without it. The world is full of advertising, yet every one wants to see what is new. lhe world 8 memory is short, it will forget you if you do not jog it fre quently. Early to bed and early to rise will all be in vain if you don't advertise. The world is sure to find out an hon est man ; but it will find him out a great deal quicker if he advertises. The Killing of a Correspondent in New Orleans. And here let me tell you the correspondent of the Chicago Times died on Monday. After the Metropolitans had been driven back, he saw a negro policeman fleeing from the fight as fast as his wounds would permit, carrying a gun. West, the correspondent, called to him, "Drop that gun, you ," and fired his revolver. The negro was struck by the bullet and fell, West running to him to get the gun. But the negro raised himself with the desperation of death, and, seizing the bayonet, plunged it into West's heart, and they died together. A friend of the Times' correspondent witnessed the scene, and helped to take the body away. From his lips I learned these facts. Cincin nati Gazette. The manager of a country theater, peeping through the curtain between the acts, was surprised by a glimpse of the empty benches. "Why, good gra cious !" said he, turning to the prompter. " where is the audience i " He just stepped out to get a glass of beer, was the brief reply. Sleep. Persons who live by mental labor not only require a full supply of sleep, but they also need letting down gradually to the level of repose. Hence, the long er the interval between the time of the active use of the brain and the hour of rest, the better the chance of refreshiag and restful sleep. The American Journal of Insanity not long since attributed much of the prevalent nervousness and impaired health of individuals to the want of sufficient and quiet rest. It says : "To procure this it is important, in the first place, that the mind should not be dis turbed for several hours before retiring to rest. Study during the evening ia improper. Some few persons, we know, are able to perform much mental labor, and to study late at night, and yet sleep well. Some require but little sleep. But such individuals are very rare." Another medical authority, the Lancet places the minimum of sleep at six hours for men," and seven for women, with an extra hour or two to be taken whenever practicable. Dr. Hammond, an authority on nervous diseases, say : " For the brain there is no rest except during sleep."" Southey slept seven hours and a half at night, but he also took a siesta during the day. "Sleep agrees with me," he wrote, "and I have a good substantial theory to prove that it must ; for as a man who walks much requires to sit down and rest himself, so does the brain if it be tha part most worked, require its repose." In respect to sleep, President Grant, E. E. Hale, and others have confessed to requiring nine out of twenty-four hours. Milton in winter invariably took eight hours repose, and seven in summer. Humboldt is reported to have slept but four hours in the twenty four, but this was in his old age, when he did not need much sleep, and be sides it is said that he was a great "lie-a-bed," and spent many hours iu this half-wakeful state. Campbell slept over seven hours Douglass Jerrold retired at 10 and rose about 7, while he slept a little after uinuer. Chief -Justice Story always slept eight and often nine hours. John C. Calhoun went to bed at 10 and rose at daybreak. Dr. Arnold allowed him self about eight hours' sleep. Dr. Channing usually took an after-dinner nap, besides taking a full night's rest. Melanchthon used to take but six hours' rest, but he would not even open a let ter in the evening, aud retired at 9. Golden Age. Watkins is cultivator of barley in Washoe Valley, and holds grasshopper in great abhorrence. The other day the nimble army came across the hills to ward Watkins' field. He heard the in aders approaching ; he listened to tlae nashing of mandibles, the clashing of wing-sheaths, and the rasping of the serrated thighs. At that imminent mo ment Watkins had a happy thought. H took down his Fire Extinguisher, gave it a churn or two, strapped it upon his back, and with a smile of derision upon his countenance, he marched out figainist the enemy. When he met the first ranks he turned the proper screw, and directed the whole extinguishing force upon the invaders. The leading hop pers and the little hoppers stood it only for a moment. The Extinguisher was too much for them. They turned ; they fled ; the cereals of Watkins were safe, and he slept that night the sleep of a happy husbandman in old Washoe Valley. Popular Fallacy and Deceptions. It is an infirmity of man to cling to the teachings of a past generation, and to stubbornly resist the light of reform and progress. Health reform and tem perance growth are jealously watched over by the poison bitters compounders. One great prevailing deception of th present age is the impression that every human biped of either sex must bs stimulated, and the poisoned chalice is labeled " Medicated Bitters," the bet ter to palliate their use and prolong tha epidemic. One of the most zealous workers to cure this malady, Dr. Joseph Walker, inventor and proprie tor of the famed California Vinegar Bitters, believes in making bitters that are "true medicine," aud advises the sick man to swallow a draught that will wash o-.it the leprosy of his disease. Iu this faith he is steadfast, and his Vinegar Bitters, though a contradic tion to the general character of all other bitters, are, as a qreat success and Life vttalizer. evidence of one popular fallacy and corrected. 3 A. Famous Medical Institution, From the Chicago Timed. "The name of Dr. B. V. Pierce has become as familiar to the people all over the country as honeehold words. His wonderful reme dies, his pamphlets and books, and his large medical experience have brought him into prominence and given him a solid reputation. The Times, in the present issue, presents a whole-paze communication from Dr. Pierce. and our readers may gain from it some idea of the vast proportions of his business arid the merits of his medicines . He has at Buffalo a mammoth establishment, appropriately named " The World's Dispensary," where pa tients are treated, and the remedies com pounded. Here nearly a hundred persons are employed in the several departments, and a corps of able and skilled physicians stand ready to alleviate the sufferings of humanity by the most approved methods. These phy sicians are in frequent consultation with Dr. Pierce, and their combined experience is brought te bear on the successful treatment of obstinate cases. The doctor is a man of a large medical experience, and his extensive knowledge of materia medica has been ac knowledged by presentations of degrees from two of the first Medical Colleges in the land. How meritorious his works are may be in ferred from the fact that his pamphlets and books have been translated into German. Spanish, and other foreign languages, and have been in heavy demand. As an evidence of the business of the dispensary, it is only necessary to state that for the quarter ending March 31, 1871, the sum expended for postage alone, not to speak of that paid on news papers received, was $'2,080.70. A perusal of the communication will be found interesting reading, and will Bhow to what proportions a medical institntion can grow under able man agement and well-directed effort." If you would patronize Medicines, scientifi cally prepared by a (-killed Physician and Chemist use Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines. Golden Medical Discovery is nutritious tonic, alterative, or blood cleansing, and an urse qualed cough remedy ; Pleasant Purgative Pellets, scarcely larger than m us. ard seed, constitute an agreeable and reliable physic ; Favorite Prescription a remedy for debili tated females ; Extract of Smart-Weed, a magical remedy for Pain, Bowel Complaints, and an unequaled Liniment for both human and horse-flesh ; while his Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is known the world over as the great est specific for Catarrh and " Cold in Head," ever given to the public.

Walker's California Vin egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, maae nieny ironi mo na tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of which aro extracted therefrom vithout the us of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vixegab Bit ters?" Our answer i3, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re covers His hcaltn. 1 ney are me frreax blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Inviyorato? of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine bee compounded possessing the remarlajfcle qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healinhe sick of every disease man is heir tvo Ther are a gentle Purgative as well a3 a Tonic, relieving Congestien or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral 0-gans, in Biliooa Uiseases. Thfc properties c'. Dr. Wai.kkb'8 Vinegar Bitters are Aperient.Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, biuretio, Sedative, Counter-irritant. Sudorific, Altera tive, and Anti-Eilio"' Grateful Thoasands proclaim Vin egar Bitters the most wonderful In vigorant that ci'ir sustained the sinking system. 'o Person can take these Bitters according to directions, aud remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilious, Remittent and Inter mittent I evers, which aro so preva lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially tnose ot tne Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Keel. Colorado, Brazos, H'.o Grande. Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many otlierd, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entrre country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual heat and dryness, aro invariably accompanied by exteusivo de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Eitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter v.'ith which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache, Pain in the Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. Scrofula, or King's Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Keck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations. Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, "Walker's Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious. Remit tent and Intermittent Pevcrs, Diseases of the iilooa, laver, Sidneys unu Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases 'ire caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such ae Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-boaters, and Miners, as they advance in life, are subject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walker's Vin euar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter. Salt-Kheum, Blotches. Spots, Pimples, Pu-tules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes. Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, I)iscolorations of the Skin. Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up tmd carried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the. system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an thelmintics will free the pystem li um worms like these Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display o decided an influence tha improvement L soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever you fwl its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is foul ; your feelings. will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. h. Mcdonald h t o.. DrrtjrpistB mid (Jen. Agts.. San Francisco, CsJifnrnisv and cor. of W;ihinptoii and Charlton Sis.. ST. V.
