Sulphur In the West Indies, The New York Standard, a new and lively daily paper under tbe charge of John Russell Young, publishes the fol lowing important paragraph : Sulphur is a substance which has, if Dot a fragrant, at least a decided odor, and is useful both internally and exter nally. Besides these purely personal uses, it is largely used in this country in the manufacture of sulphuric acid, and for other manufacturing purposes. As a matter of course, the source of supply becomes a matter of consequence '.especially to proprietors of extensive manufacturing works. Heretofore, the principal source , of supply has been Sicily, which island has furnished it from the extensive deposits left by the volcanic movements observed there. AVcare glad, however, to know, and to be the first to announce, that a source of supply has been discovered much nearer home. It is in the island of Saba, which is one of the Dutch West Indies, and is situated about one hun dred and ten miles southeast from St. Thomas, and forty miles southwest from &t. Martha's. Like its Italian proto type, the island is of volcanic origin, being about eleven miles in circumfer ence, and at its highest point about two thousand eight hundred feet above the sea. Though a Dutch possession, the language spoken by its two thou sand inhabitants is chiefly English. The sulphur deposit referred to was discovered by an enterprising New - Yorker, who found himself thereon a search for health, and, finding indica tions of sulphur ore, set to work with pick and shovel, and, with the -help of some natives, qarried two sloop loads, which he brought here and submitted to analysis.! The report of the chem ists employed is to the effect that, while the Sicily ores only yield about thirty per cent, of brimstone for the ore con sumed, the Saba ore yields an average of over sixty per cent. Adding- to this -the fact the island is only about fifteen hundred miles from New York, it will be seen that this is an important discovery, and it need not be wondered at that steps have already been taken to secure leases of the best tracts of island. We understand this has been done, and that the importation of crude brimstone will soon be commenced. Together with the Louisiana sulphur beds this mine will undoubtedly drive Sicilian sulphur from our market. i A Speaking Automaton. A Ger man genius has invented a speaking machine, which is now on exhibition at Lcipsic, and is a masterpiece of invent ive art. It is in imitation of all the parts of the human organs of speech, executed in India rubber and wood. A keyboard, played like that of a pi ano, puts the parts in motion, while by a pedal and bellows the required air is sent through the wind pipe. The key board has only fourteen keys, represent ing the sounds of a, o, u, i, e, j, r, w, f, s, b, g, d, s ; other sounds of the al phabet are produced by the same move ment, and the admission ot more or less air. The sounds of m and 1 are produced by closing the lips and press ing the tongue against the roof of the mouth, etc. The'French nasal sounds are produced by a separate contrivance. The laughing, it is said, sounds truly diabolical, and the crowing of a rooster very comical. ' Sold and Got the Money. Some lunatic has imposed the follow ing on the New Orleans Times, and the Times publishes it in all seriousness-: In San Joaquin Valley, California, butter is made by placing the cream in a thick linen sack, and burying the parcel in the earth over night. The sand absorbs the milk, and in the morn ing the butter is fougd as well worked as by an hour's churning. .Brevities. If a man makes a beast of himself at dinner, docs he become the lion of the party ? What is the difference between a falling star and a fog? One is missed in heaven and the other mist on earth. "I'm leaving thee in sorrow," as the man said to his wife when he sold all his furniture and eloped with another woman. 4 . A Western lady is writing in favor of limited marriages, for a given time, ranging from one to three years, with privilege of renewal by mutual eon sent. An Indiana editor deprecates the prevalent habit of killing and eating robins, and says he would as soon eat a slice of Parepa-Ilosa on toast as to eat a robin. What should a young man carry with him when calling upon his affianc ed? Affection in his heart, perfection in his manncrs; and confection in his pocket- Mrs. PartingtoL has been reading the healtlvofficers' weekly reports, and thinks "total" must be an awful ma lignant disease, since as many die of it as of all the rest put together. It is estimated, that over a hundred young ladies are at present studying law in this country. Probably they will all become mothers-in-law one of these days. Alfred Jingle's dog is surpassed n New Bedford, where they have a point er that came to a dead stand still before a door plate bearing the name of "A Partridge." " A Western paper complains that the only success of an oculist recently in its locality was in enabling the flats who consulted him to cut their eye teeth. A Massachusetts paper expresses its regret at learning that one of the pop ular monthly magazines has expired, or "at least lapsed into , the quiescence of monenigomy." At the Woman's Suffrage Conven tion, in Dayton, one of the speakers replied to the slanderous charge that most of the ladies interested in the movement have big feet. "Do you think," asked Mrs. Pepper, 'that a little temper is a bad thing in a woman ?" "Certainly not," replied a gallant philosopher; "it is a good thing, and she never ought to lose it. "Don't leave the Courtroom, wit ness," said a Shiawasse lawyer during the trial of a case. "I want to ques tion you farther." "Father's dead," replied the witness, "and can't be ques tioned!" The Talbottom (Ga.) Young -American states that an old negro woman in that town knocked her husband over with a chair recently, for refusing to contribute to a fund for completing a new church. German astronomers assert that two stars one in the constellation of the "Corona," and the other in the "iEtha Argus" (generally marked on astro nonical charts by the Greek letter II) have taken fire. Have the public been hoaxed ? A relative of the late George Teabody in forms us that his body was buried at Westminister Abbey, and that he great fuss in this country was over a substi tute corpse. Boston Herald. "Husband, I hope you have no ob jections to my getting weighed?'' "Certainly not, my dear; but why do you ask me that question ?" "Only to see, my love, if you would allow me to have my weigh once." "Won't you lc me kiss you, little one?" asked a gentleman of the beau tiful daughter of a beautiful mother, as he was taking leave of her in the cars. "Wouldn't you rather kiss moth er ?" was the arch reply. IVOTICE.

Scrofula is a taint or infection in tbe hu man organism which weakens the vital forces,,, and disorders or disarranges the functions of " the whole system. This taint or infection is most usually hereditary in the constitution, but it may also arise from habits of life, unwhole some food, etc. In time, if this disease docs not show itself in an ulcerous or tubercular form, it induces those other diseases, such as consumption, ulcerations of the liver, stomach and kidneys, salt rheum, dropsy, etc. The best remedy ever yet discovered is "Dr. Walker's Vegetable Vinega'k Bitters." It will cure the disease if not too far advanced, and will eradicate the cause.
