many visitors from the rural provinces
of Ft ana, who are quite aa interesting

migbC tare been fasbiouablo fifty years

made a curiosity of wrinkles and crease

wore quite the counterpart of tboa of
their ' worthy progenitor, their sem
blance teadbg one to suppose that their
local tailor had strong conservative

as freiih sud pluuiing as th men ap
peared ridiculous. They wero amazed
at the sight of the artificial ice, and
watched the frozea blocks a? they came
out ot the OKtchine, leaning over the
railirgs to lay their (Jngers upon them,
doubting their eyes until in additional
sense had clinched the argument, and
convinced them that there was
real ice in the middle of summer.

water just rs the " Star Spangled Ban
ner," played by Gillmorc't band, on the
fourth of July, made our eyes slop over.
Wo must pay a vwit, for the sake of
"Auld Lang Syte," to tho srticle.which
with chewbg gum, every American
remembers to have been tho stspte
nourishment of his school boy days.
How intensely jiatriotic we become
when the Atlantic Ocean is between
us and home. Wo denounce our inati
tutiona and public men before wo have
been abroad, but becomo devout wor
ships of almost every thing American
when we Lave bad opportunity to eoro
poso thcai with things on thj side. I
have known Americans bo patriotic as
to take a dfink in Paris for no belter
reason than that the saloon, kept rooAt
probably by an- Englishman, had on ii
the sign: "American bar." The Ameri

being curioiis ti sample it, but pop corn
as manufactured at the Kxbibifion, seems
to be more sticky and less savory than
the pop corn we used to smuggle into
school and nibble at stolen intervals.
Lt t 'us approach and see what this
dense crowd ia looking at. It is sn ex
hibit of the. rhantifucture of plate gilt
jewelry. This whole process is going
on under the eye of the visitor; and a
large quantity of prcttv bogus trinkets

Every detail of architecture is finished

This is too true, lie is a high old

until you see a oor little mouse with

down like a ward constable, and run
him in. You are a nice old bird for
a trade-mark for a ntvtioii of heroes, you
old cowsrd. You nit on a rock and
watch a peasant worn tn hang out cjolbes
and when aho goes in the bouio to turn
the clothe-wringer, you, great .bird,
emblem of fn-edotn, yon representative
of the land of the free and the home of
the brave, you swoop down on the
plantation and cruh your talons in the,
quivering flesh of her little baby, take
liini t3 your home high in heaven, and
pick hU iitmcent little eyes out. Yu
bitid h. adcd old reprobate, you would
Urn your tail and run at the attack of

remedy arc.
Medical men havo known for a long
tune that the best remedies for consump
tion were plenty of puro air, sunshine
and exercise, and also food that con
tained much carbon. Cod-live oil has
been a favoiite nmcdy, and has done
sood in prolonging tho lives, of con
sumptives, and putting off the approach
of the crim monster. Tho virtues of
other remedies aro in proportion to the
amount of carbon they can infuse into
tha system to ftl the consuming flame
that wants the body. The theory is
that the internal fovcr burns up the car
bon in the bleod faster than the food
eaten can replace it. Tho disoa.to then
iiircysaon fho fatty subtance8 of tho
body, and destroys the lungs, and even
tually life. In short, there is not- oil
enough in the lamp for the wick, and the
latter is burnt and the light goes . out.
The Chicago Tribune prints an interest
lug letter from Dr. P'Unger, of Minne
apolis, Minn., on this subject, in which
he makes public is a prescription which
ho declares has produced excellent ef
fects, to his ieronal knowledge. This
is his prescription :
One-half ponnd finely-cut-up beef
steak (fresh);
One drachm pulverized charcoal ;
Four, ounces pulverized sugar ;
Four ounces rye whisky;
One pint boiling water. '
Mix all together, let it stand in a
cool place over night, and give from
one t two teaRpoonluls liquid aad meat
before each meal.
I havo used this preparation very
frequently, and have never found it to
act otherwise- than beneficially. The
doso should be small at Crst, until tlie
stomach Wooiues used to it, and then
gradually increased.
This remedy has, at lesAt, the merit

ia the words ' of the Har
vard University Chemist, who aoayzed
it, "oli'tv teifA poiton" the enamel be
ing largely composed of oxide or led in
soluble form. We are sure that other
poisonous ware is still sold.
Loit ursnses return to bur new ware
unless fputmnUtd KtirmtUtt. A
Many flavoring ous and syrups con
tain poisons. It tt welt to avoid them
aa far aa possible.
Too, toUoe, cocoa, and chocolate aro
all liable to be adulterated, and to aoaao
extent with dangeroua articles.
It is well to buy of tbo beat and
most experienced dealers.
Drags aro largely adults rated. It ia
well to buy only of tho moat experiaeo-
od and reliable drujrgisto.
Sewing suka and threads are uxado
hoary with lod, and poison those who
use them. ,
Thousands of barrels of ' terra alba,"
or white earth, aro every year mixed
ia various fornix with our augurs and
other white aubitaneea. Its use tends
to produce atono, kidney complaint, and
various diseases of tho stomach. A
largo part of our cream of tartar used
in cooking contains fifty petr cent, or
more of terra alba."
It is also used extensively in confec
tionery, and various poisons are used
in coloring eonectionery.
Mills in various porta of our country
aro grinding white stone into a fine
powder. It ia sUted that they grind
at some of theao mills, tbroa grades,
soda grades, sugar grades, and flour
grade.
We think it would be paying in
vestment for the Granges of each State
to employ a competent chemist to de
test and - publish adulterations, and
then withdraw all patronage from thoso
who manufacture or sell such articles.
Wo think there is quite as much
need of organization in all our states
to enforce laws for tho protection of
public health, aa there is for organiza
tions to catch and punish horse thieves.
In conclusion we can congratulate the
Granges that farmers are exempt from
some of tho dangers to which other
classes are subject.

stated ia the Scieitfijia American, that

Sydney is now an irregularly laid out
and an irregularly boilt city of a'tout
200,000 souls; with iU suburbs, the
population is estimated at 230,000.
A careful enumeration would place
one saloon (hotels they call them there)
to etery twenty inhabitants of Sydney
sad suburb. If this should be called
exaggeration, it can lx tot with the
rf;-Sy ibt the evil needs desperate meas
ures for its correction. Well these
"hotels" are the mont prosperous in
New South Wales not alone in Syd
ney, but in every place I haveboen. I
found it the same in Queensland, and I
expect to-h'ul it the same in Victoria,
It ijno unusual thing to see drunken
atffa. and women staggering about the
streets, I have seen not a few, but a
creat many, nearly every evening I
hae been out.
Persons who have read tho pen-pic
tures of low life in r.ngland, as deline
ated by Charles Dickens, ouly have to
come to this place to realize that Dtck-
ens did not exaggerate, I have seen a
little 6-year-old girl trying to lead her
besotted grandmother home, and that
venerable woman ao drunk she could
not stand except against a houso side.
Women frequently appear adorned with
two black eyes. Of course these are
vory low and very poor people, but they
frequent tha princiiu streets and mm
clo with the general throng. Drunken
ness is the saddest feature of this bean
tiful country, and one gladly turns from
its contemplation to a consideration of
those features of the colonies that it is
a pleasure to chronicle, and auch, too,
they are, as wo in America, would do

A Wall street broker laid a wager
tho other day that Christopher Colum
bua discovered tho continent of North
America, ana ot course lost iu it is
surprising bow many intelligent persona
entertain tho same error. Knowing
that he disdovered a number of islands
in the Western Hemisphere, tbey think
that ho must of necessity havo discov
ered this continent also. Ibey forgot
that he died in ignorance of the real
grandeur of his achievement, believing
Cuba, Terra Firtna and the other lands
he had found to be remote parts of Asia.
Amerigo Vespucci, after whom North
and South America wero named, did
not discover vhis continent proper eith
er. lne land ho cliscoverod lay near
the equator, and he to was deluded
with the notion that it was a .portion
of Asia. John Cabot was tho discov
erer of North America (soma time in
May, 1497,) which he likewise supposed
to belong to the dominions of the Great
Cham. He sailed along the coast for
300 leagues, and went ashore, without
finding any human beings, though be
belie red the country inhabited, it
remarkable that the three great discov
erera of the Western world should all
havo been Italians Columbus having
been bom in. Venice. The birth of
Cabot is uncertain, as aro his age and
the place and time of his death. But
the fact that the license granted him, by
Henry VII calls himKabotto, Venetian
would fceetu to determine the question
of his nativity.

Mr. Singer's life combined romance and
infamy to an extraordinary decree.

13,000,000 to 15,000,000, twnty-futiV
children and five wotuou that called
him husband. But only two of the
latter were married to him, and few of
his children were his legitimate r ff
spring. '
Singer was a native of RchagLticoko,
tn thi country, where be was horn
about tho beginning of the war of 1812.
lie early moved to W svn countv. where
he married Cathrrino M. Italev in
1830. At that time he was a wood
turner. Two children were born there.
In 1837 they moved to New. York.
and soon afterward ho joined a com
pany or strolling pi.yers, his wife re
maining in the city. At Baltimore he
eaw in the audience an attractive look
ing woman about 13 years of sge,
whose spiearance excited Singers in
terest. He found br out and called
ujion her, and tknwgh hii reiresenta
tion that ho was a single man, she ac
cepted his attcniiuut - and prumi-d to
hecotno his wife lfer name was Mary
Ann spero-ler. Key went to New
York, where he had quarreled with his
wife, and they separated. Instead of
fiulliilling his promise to Muis StHmlcr
tt marry her, he put her off with vari
ous excuse, and finally rsuaded her
to assume the relations of wife to him,
assuring her thst when his fortune hod
laijwoved the legal ceremony should
bo porformod. For thirteen years the
two lived the lifo of strolling actors,
pitying tern ix ranee pieces in churches.
and earning a meager living. They
carried all their effects in a one horse
agon, and they were frequent! oblis-
ed to leave that behind iu pledge for
trifling extiensea.
When in Chicago, Singei'a attention
was turned to invention; and he devis
ed a reaping machine for harvesting
grain. In 1830 he made several valu
able improvements, which were embod

York, aad lived on Fifth avenue, where,
aa wealth now poured in upon him, he
maintained a splendid establishment.
having ten horses and six carriages.
Miss Sponsler still lived with him as
bis wife, though he had made no effort
to tret a divorce from Mm. Sinsrer.
From 1817 to 1S67, ten children we
born to them, eight of whom are now
living. In 1860, twenty-four years
alter their separation. Singer obtained a
decree of divorce from his wife. In the
meantime he had been building up other
family relations. One was with Miss
Mary McGonigal by whom I n hod five
children, and Mary E. Waiter, who
bore him one child. Both women shar
ed ia hia bounties, and the children
looked upon him as their father. These
facta coming to light, Miss Sponsler, be
lieving that she was bingcr s wue, sued
for .iivorcement. v He denied tho mar
riage, but admitted tho accusation of
adultery, and a settlement was finally

ing houieia New York, the titleof which
was to be vested in their children on
her death. Tbo following month, after
she had ordered her lawyer to go on with
tho suit for -divorce, she was secretly
married to John E. Foster, of Boston,

marriage secret until January, 1863,
expecting to get the deed of her house
from Singer. He induced her, proba
bly by threats of legal prosecution for
bigamy, to sign a document, which was
in fact a renunciation of their former
relations, and to quit tho house in wbkh
she lived. Since that time she has con,
tinued to live with Mr. Foster. In
J une, 18G3, Singer was married in New
York to Isabella E. Somerville, a wo
man whom he had met in France. Six
children were the result of this union
They soon "removed to France, where
they remained until 1873, when ho re
solved to reside permanently iu Eng
land. He purchased a largo estate in
oouui uevon, and started to build a
dwelling that should surpass the Bar
onial castles in the vicinity in magma
cence. But his death ended his career
ill July, 1875.
His will waa offered for probate be
fore Surrogate Coffin, in White Plains,
Westchester county. It divided the
property in America, vahied at $9,000,
000, into sixty portions. There were
bequests to his twenty-four children,, to
women with whom ho had cohabited,
and to Mrs. Isabella Singer. Miss
Mary Ann SKnsler, how Mrs. Foster
receiving nothing, contested the will.
In tho meantime another will turned
op in England, which settled his prop
erty there,, valued at about $3,000,000,
upon Mrs. Isabella Singer and her
children. The property in America has
been all distributed to the legatees, and
last Saturday David Hawlev of Yon-
kera, one cf Singer's executors, sailed
for Europe, to arrange the accounts
against the English estate. Thus will
