t
Warm Feet.
A eorrefiponilent of the American
Agrloulturirt furninhpn that pnper with
the following remnrku on warm foot,
which remarks are admirably calculated
for our latitude:
To go with cold foot is to undermine
thr constitution, and this half the women
and the girls are doing. They have the
habit of cold feet, and the accompany
ing habit of ill health ; thin home-knit
woolen stockings are not very fashiona
ble. Once no country girl was reckoned
fit to be married until she had knit her
pillow-case full of stockings, but it is
not so now. I do not regard that less
hand-knitting is done now than former
ly, but I hope wo shall not give up
warm woolen stockings for winter use
until we can replace them with some
thing better. Merino or the common
"boughten " white woolen stockings arc.
rather thin, but some of us supplement
them with an additional pair of cotton
stockings, wearing the cotton or the
woolen pair next the feet, as individuals
prefer. Cold feet are often caused, at
least, in part, by too tight elastic or
bands at the tops of the stockings, or
by tight shoes, or shoes tight iu the
ankles. These interfere with the circu
lation of the blood, and there cannot be
a comfortable desrree of warmth without
a good circulation and n-ration of the
blood. My last lesson in this matter
catne from baby's experience last Sep
tember. Suddenly she contracted a
habit of having cold feet, and when I
warmed them the skin seemed hard and
inactive suggesting the need of a bath,
when a bath did not seem necessary ex
cept for the feet. At length it seemed
to me that her "ankle-ties" had been
too loose, and just before we came home
from our visit a young lapy cousin hod
set the buttons back further, to make
the little slipper stay on better. Ever
since that change the slipper-straps had
been too tight around her ankles, es
pecially after I put on woolen stockings.
I changed the buttons again, and her
feet no longer got cold, except in con
sequence of the actual rigors of the
climate. Some well-informed persons
object to Congress gaiters, the elastics
are usually so firm and close about the'
ankle. Only very loose gaiters are
allowable, and these may not be neces
sary when the stockings are worn over
under-drawers. Garters in the shape
of straps buttoning to both waist and
stockings are most' sensible for women
as well as children.
Miserable Rich Men.
A few years ago, one of the founders
of the banking-house of Prime, Ward
& King committed suicide at his country-seat
at Astoria, X. Y. He was a re
tired wealthy gentleman, and had every
means of making life desirable; but
the misery of unemployed money and
abilities which should have been de
voted to philanthropy, drove him to.
self-destruction. The' same statement
opplies to the late Charles M. Leupp.
He had made a great fortune in the
leather business, and lived up-town in
sumptuous style, possessing, among
other distinctions, one of the finest
picture galleries in the city. Yet this
man finished his course with suicide
while in the fullness of manhood, and
possessed of ability which should have
given him a distinction higher than that
of mere wealth. Previous to this, one
of the heaviest business men in Ex
change Place suddenly arrested the
course of a lucrative business by a
similar use of his razor. Another capi
talist threw himself beneath the wheels
o a locomotive; while Van Auken, the
butter merchant, and David Ren, both
used the razor. Scarcely has the latter
been buried when a similar instance oc
curs in the suburbs of Brooklyn. Here
an oppnlcut market gardener and land
speculator, named Ditmars Duryea, has
committed suicide by taking laudanum,
leaving an estate worth 175,001). Of
course he had a reason for doing this.
His wife had died some time previously,
aud had bequeathed her estate, whose
value was S7.000, to other parties than
himself. Being thus neglected, he had
no resort but death, in which he buried
his troubles. Seven thousand dollars
would not be generally considered an
inducement to commit suicide ; and yet
we have known a rich man to be so dis
tressed by the loss of $300, that ho fin
ished the matter by hanging himself.
But, at any rate, seven thousand was a
fatal sum to Ditmars Duryea. Its loss
was so great a cloud that it obscured
the glory of those possessions which
were twenty times as great, and the re
sult is a bottle of laudanum and a
coroner's inquest. It may be inferred
that these examples indicate what a
wide-spread disposition toward suicide
exists among rich men. Xcw Yuri;

The imports of grain at Buffalo last
year were larger than in any preceding
year, excepting 1871, For a long time
there has been a steady and marked de
cline in the receipt of flour, the imports
during last year having been 709,368
barrels, against 1,211,900 iu 1871, and
1,453,913 barrels in the previous year,
the decrease having been uoticeabfe for
several past years. But Buffalo is not
alone in this decline, since the receipts
t Western centres have been parallel
with those at Buffalo. Chicago, Toledo,
Detroit, Milwaukee, and Cleveland had
an aggregate of receipts in 1809 of over
5,000,000 barrels ; one year afterwards
they lowered to 4,250,000 ; in 1871- to
3,9000,000, and iu 1872 to 3,500,000. At
present, and this may explain this de
cline, a larger amount of wheat is raised
in the Western States than formerly
there was. Lumber received last year
amounted to 212,940,000 as opposed to
200,C16;000 in the preceding year. The
grain receipts at Buffalo for 1872 were
91,351,000 bushels, and the total receipts
at the lake ports Chicago, Milwaukee,
Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland and Duluth
.were flour being estimated as wheat---143,100,088
bushels. The measure
ment of the cereals which pass through
Buffalo shows nearly two-thirds of the
whole receipts of all the great grain
centres of the Northwest.
Tittle Taftle. Three weeks since, His
Holiness the Pope received some Amer
ican ladies and gentlemen at the Vati
can. The audience was short, in conse
quence of the Pope being indisposed ;
but its brevity was compensated by the
gracious manner in which His Holiness
asked each lady her name and birth
place, and made some complimentary
remark, or quoted some circumstance
having reference to the locality in which
they resided. One young lady who had
carried out all the instruction of the
master of the ceremonies, became so
dreadfully confused on being asked by
the Pope her place of birth, that she
told her age instead, replying to the
query addressed to her, "24, your Holi
ness;" aud on the Pope's replying, "I
do riot know that place," she answered,
" No! your Holiness, pray forgive me; I
am 29 next birthday. " How charmingly

Texas Cattle.
The man owning a large stock of cat
tle in Texes, says the President of the
Western Texas Stock Raising Associa
tion, conducts his business differently,
though like their marks and brands, no
two manage exactly the same way. The
extent of country over which their cat
tle range depends upon the size of the
stock j one of 75,000 head would range
in most cases over an area of country
fifty miles wide and one hundred miles
long, though some may always be found
beyond the limits. Most of our large
stock-raisers, as they sell their beeves,
invest their surplus money in other
stocks of cattle contiguous to, or within
their range, and much depends upon
these purchases as to the size or shape
of the Territory. They alwoys have a
central raneho at which they keep a
sufficient number of brood-mari to
supply all demands for horses. This
place is known as " head-quarters ;"
theygenerallyhave otheror sub-ranchos,
at which they keep two or more men,
doing what they can in driving up, mark
ing and branding young stock, gather
ing and selling beeves, and looking out
generally for the interests of their em
ployer. As in the other case, nothing
is done during the winter months with
the cattle, except to get up and sell the
beeves to supply the home demand, the
packing houses on the coast, and the
New Orleans market. When the spring
opens, and the grass is sufficiently high
to support his horses at labor, the stock
raiser employs his bauds, gets up his
horses, and prepares for operations.
Twenty-five men are about as many as
can work to an advantage in one gang,
and for this number, one large four-
mule wagon, laden with provisions,
camp-eqiuage. a very little baggage,
and about one hundred horses, make
up the "outfit." Of course the cattle
about the central raneho are first gath
ered in, marked and branded, aud as
many of the calves kept m the pen as is
desirable ; the large stock-raiser, or a
number combined, having a series of
pens located with a view to permanent
water throughout his range. The party,
thus equipped and provisioned, estab
lish their first enmp at one of these
pens, and the business of the season is
considered fairly commenced. The
wagon, and one man to cook, being al
ways kejt at the cam), another with
the assistance of a " bell-mare " keeps
the extra horses upider herd, while the
balance of the party ride over the coun
try, in every direction, afld drive up all
the cows with young calves belonging
to their employer. If it is the wish of
the owner to gather beeves at the same
time, they are driven along with the
cows, kept in the same pen at night,
and herded during the day. The calves
are generally branded in the morning
anil turned out with the cows, and
nothing more is ever done to them un
til the male portion are of sufficient age
to gather and sell for beeves. I men
tion this that my readers may estimate
for themselves the cost of raising a beef
upon the prairies of lexas.
The beeves which are being gathered,
re kept in hand until the drove is suf
ficiently large, say eight hundred to a
thousand herd, when they are turned
over to the speculator, and the proprie
tor receives from twelve to hlteen thoiv
sand dollars in gold, and immediately
commences the gathering of another
drove.
A Delicate Matter Practically Treated.
A story is told by Dickens m the nnr-
l-ative of his residence in Switzerland,
given to the world by Mr. Forster, of a
Swiss bride who, having according to
j local custom to buy a black dress for
i her wedding, observed to her mother,
an old lady of eighty-two, " You know,
mother, I am sure to want mourning for
you soon, and the same gown will do."
Siniilur want of reverent delicacy is of
ten compatible with real affection in
the case of persons deficient in cultiva
tion. Visitors, says the London Echo, meet
.with instances of this obtuseness in the
. poor, when there is no hick of good
feeling. The Scotch peasantry, a warm
! hearted race enough, are great sinners
! in this respect. A benevolent lady, who
i had devoted herself to soothing the
woes of the sick and sorrowful, in a
I small Scotch parish, being particularly
j attracted by an amiable young lady,
j the daughter of a cotter, whu was snf
I fering from consumption; visited her
continually iu her little garret.
The patient got weaker, and her kind
j friend entertained little doubt that the
! end was near, when, on calling as usual
to see the sunerer, she was astonished
to find her down stairs in the " keeping-room."
On questioning the mother
as to the improvement she supposed
must have taken plaoe to warrant this
change, the tender parent immediately
replied, in her child s presence, " Deed,
my leddy, we were fain to move her;
we could na hae gotten the corpse doou
stars."
Spectacles.
The use of yellow spectacles instead
of green or blue is proposed by a recent
writer, on the hypothesis that yellow is
the ray having the least actinic or pho
tographic power. This error has orig
inated in a want of knowledge of the
fact that, of all the rays, yellow has the
most powerful action on carbon com
pounds. Since the eye in its construc
tion involves the use of such compounds,
it follows that the yellow ray of all oth
ers will have the strongest action on the
eye. This agrees with our actual expe
rience; for the yellow is by far the most
powerful light to the eye, and the uni
versal preference for green and blue
glasses is owing to the fact that these,
by shutting out the rays that act with
the greatest energy on the carbon com
pounds of the retina, produce a milder
and less irritating action on the organ
w)ien by disease or other cause its sensi
tiveness is increased.
New Danger. A new danger has
arisen for women who have a habit of
opening letters addressed to thei hus
bands. Recently a lady iu San Francisco
was led to break the seal of a communi
tion made to her lord and found a circu
lar of " Messrs. Reid, Delafleld, & Co.,"
showing how for a small amount of
genuine money a large amount of coun
terfeit money as good as the original
Jacobs could be obtained. The lady
was taken with the scheme, showed the
letter .to her mother, and the two sent
$50 to the swindlers and anxiously wait
ed for a return mail. Mr. Delafleld came
to the lady's house to give her the
money. The ladies were enraptured,
but when their eager hands sought to
grasp the rustling notes, lo ! Mr. Dela
fleld placed within them a card, bhowing
that the bearer was not a bold counter
feiter, but United States Detective Hen
ry Finnegass, Fainting followed, but
the lesson was a good one, and may be
of service to inquisitive and luxurious,
wives and teach them not to lead them
selves into temptation.

The New Year.
The Old Year is dead. He died wit li
out a groan. He seemed as vigorous
the day before as tle foal day of his
life, and held his own to the last mo
ment. The requiem has been sung over
his dead body, the mourners have
thrown into the' dark grave the sprig Jf
green, in token that there is life in
death, that there is a resurrection morn
and that Death itself shall live, and be
fore the clods have fallen on the hollow
box, the wail of the infant New Year is
heard. The bells clang out the knell of
the Old with its memories-of all we
have done or suffered, performed or
neglected in that regretted time, and at
the last stroke of the mid-night hour,
the changeful chimes burst into a peal
of welcome to the young year, for an
other clvild of the same family, bearing
the same general features, and apparent
ly, if not the same temper, has already
taken his place. .
Bells have clanged aud chimed for
1873 turn-cont bells, which had twelve
months since clanged and chimed for
1872, now suffered t depart with the
Bcant courtesy of a guest who has out
staid his welcome. As a new acquain
tance we eye the young heir introduced
to us with Wll-metal harmony, and won
der how the acqnaincanee shall turn
out out. For good ? for ill ?
Every first of January is like a mile
stone on the road of human life, at once
a resting place and a confessional, where
we may bury the " dead past " in abso
lution, and get fresh energy for renew
ed exertion, to the end aud object of
life's journey. Who is so good or so
bad he has not a part to regret, a part
to amend, and seeing the opening year
bright and jovoiitt before him, docs not
propose to himself to be better in the
new than the old, and though to 2mponf;
is but little, it at least is on acknowl
edgement of the need, and that is the
first step towards amendment, and dead
nature, dead lives, dead hopes, may yet
have the brightness of the resurrection
morn, and 1873 tell of better days and
batter deeds than 18 i 1.
The page is yet white, the record is
yet unwritten, and above the clanging
bells, above the frosty air, above the
driftinsr snow-nukes, above the lrozen
resolutions of 1872, float in the anchor
of Hope the Angels of 1873.
Tht Army Grumbler.
The grumbler, in the army, was not
suuh a bad man after all. He grumbled
because they didn't have fresh bred ;
because they marched in the rain ; be
cause they fought battles on Sunday ;
because the colonel wouldn't let him go
home for two weeks ; because his shoes
pinched his feet ; because the crackers
were broken up sometimes ; because his
night to go on guard was sure to be
rainy ; because the army always started
on a march just as he got his shebang
fixed. And he talked much, aud some
times his intonation was very much like
what his mother had, in his boyish days,
called a whine. But he did his duty all
the same.
He would growl when he went on
guard, but he commenced his prepara
tions when he commenced his growling.
He would swear about a foi-ced march,
but as he was limping along with stiff
joints and sore feet, if there came an
attack he would go to the front like a
nrancincr war horse. On a Ions march
lie was always asking with a woe-begone
expression. "Why don't the darn old
fool of a colonel make his horse gallop ?
What's the use of coming down to a trot
on a hot day like this," but he was never
among the stragglers.
He was in the front line, grumbling
and growling to the effect that he "would
be goldurned if he didn't stick right to
the tail of the colonel horse or burst hjs
biler," and right at the tail of the horse
he often was when men who never grunv
bled fell exhausted.
All grumblers were not of this type,
but many were, and finally grumbling
didn't count in the estate of a good
soldier.
Reflections.
Though the days are lengthening,
and the sun is returning, and the sum
mer joy afar off is advancing, still the
cold of winter is yet to come. The
great mother of storms sings iu the
north ; snows are yet to be piled and
drifted ; bitter davs are vet to come ;
the whole weight of winter is due after
the days begin to lengthen ; frosts will
gripe the ground, and not let go ; but
under the storms, through the snows,
beneath the cold, under all the winter,
is nevertheless the silent deliverance
which is surely coming. You cannot
yet see the effects ; no flower blossoms,
no bud swells, no dew softly speaks to
you ; vet along the early and late lion
zon is a circle of cresent light girding
the earth, and as sure as God's eecreo
it is bringing summer with it, aiul every
day nearer. Therefore let those who
mourn in harsh troubles, and are over
whelmed "iu storms of adversity, know
that, though winter yet lowers', the great
cause of tneirtroublesmay iave changed
long ago. Let those who are in sorrow
remember that, as the year goes on
storming and thundering, deliverance
may be coming, though they see it not,
Your days may wear more gold in the
morning, and more at night, though the
midday is full of snow. Nor does relief
come to us at once when we repent and
turn to uod. tiod may be gracious,
thougr. he comes to us robed in darn
ness and clothed with storms. It is i
journey of release toward the spring,
when winter is cldest and darkest,
Read the year by faith and not by sight.
Improving I'pon Nature.
They practice a strange art in Japan
which is considered an improvement ou
animal expression. Young puppies are
subjected to extraordinary modifying
influences soon after birth. The upper
jaw is forced up at an angle, carrying
with it the lower one, which gives the
head the slope of a child's head. The
eyes, too, are singularly forced out of
their original place, so that when the
process is completed and the bones are
permanently in a new position, the dog
appears something like a weeping infant
looking up. The distortion is disgust
ing and certainly a cruel process in the
eyes of anybody but a Japanese lady,
whose pets they are, and objects of ten
der care. One of these improved dogs
was recently brought to Aew lork,
whether as a model for artists, with
view to providing a new favorite for
natrons of canine nets, is unknown.
Nature may be distorted by science and
by art, but never improved.

Thr TV, Mnll fimcttr. thinks it is
worth the consideration of those who
are wearied of the usual British sports,
such as hunting, shooting, fishing,
pigeon, and the like, whether a new and
pleasing excitement migninoi oe lounu
by the introduction of flying foxes into

Benant Times of a tame flying fox kept
by a gentleman in that district, it seems
that these animals are quite intelligent
enough to enter into the fun of being
hunted, but at thesame time so amiable
that they would be unlikely to turn and
rend their pursuers. The flying fox
mentioned by the Times, spends much
of the day on a piece of stick hung np

and perform other tricks, but strongly
objects to any one reading in his pres

A Hazardous Trip.
Two men and three women made a
desperate attempt to escape from Ward's
Island in a light skiff. The party em
barked near the Inebriate Asylum, and
with two boards for oars, attempted to
propel their way through the floating
ice. The tide was about turning at the
time, and one of the girls becoming
frightened at the ice crushing around
them, rushed to one side of the boat,
which upset the frail craft, and pre
cipitated the occupants into the water.
Wood swam off toward a cake of ice, and
the three girls clung desperately to
Johnson, dragging him down with them.
Wood finally succeeded in crawling on
a cake of ice, and drogged the girl,
Mary, on with him. Johnson succeed
ed also in getting on a cake of ice, and
the other two girls, Henrietta Smith
and Kate Reynolds, disappeared be
neath the waves. The three others
shouted for help, and three boats put
out one by Tyler Gibson, from Mill
Rock, another 'by Peter Kennedy, from
the foot of Ninety-second street, and a
third bv a man unknown, succeeded
with difficulty in rescuring the three
survivors from their perilous situation,
aud conveyed them to the Yorkville

Loss of Fifty Lives.
Five vessels went down near Amble,
on the Northumberland coast, our Eng
lish paper says, and all the crews have
perished. The weather was thick, rain
fell continually, and the sea ran mount
ains high.- The first ship showing sig
nals of distress was found to bo the
bark Father Mathew, Watson master.
She drove on shore, but before reaching
the land a terrible sea engulphed her,
and she was seen no more. Half an
hour afterward ouother brig got among
some rocks, at Hunsley, where the life
boat was launched, but as soon as she got
into the open sea she was driven on
shore like a piece of straw. Rockets
were fired, and the life-line was on the
point of being worked, when a heavy
sea broke over the vessel and she was
seen no more. She was the Russell,
bound for Littlehampton. The third
brig, the Ocean, from Sunderland, cap
sized near the shore. The other two
vessels were the Matchless of Whitby,
and the schooner Bracer. Both vessels
foundered in sight of hind. At the time

from scurf and dandruff. These requisites of
perfection may bo more certainly obtained and
preserved by the use of Lyon's Katiiaibon,
than by any other means at present known. It
keeps the hair vigorously alive and the scalp
healthy. It is an emollient as well as an invig
oriint, in other words, it renders the hair soft,
silky and ductilo, while at tho same time it in
fuses new life and elasticity into tho fibres, and
inclines them to curl. Tlie wavy appearance
given to the whole maMs of hair by the regular
application of tho Katiiaibon is a matter of
notoriety among ladies who line it at their morn
ing and evening toilets. That it nourishes tho
hair and promotes its growth in an extraordin
ary degree, is beyond all question. Ualdness
can never be the lot of any man or woman who
brushes in this fertilizing, purifying and beau
tifying preparation once or twice a day. Gen
tlemen wishing to make attractive specialities of
their whiskers, beards aud moustaches, should
cultivate them with this article.
A ftLonuu's Kecoku. Twelve years ago a
fe- modest lines iu a New York Journal invited
public attention to a new Vegetable Restorative,
and solicited a trial of its mcritH as a remedy
for indigestion, biliousness, fever and ague,
debility, nervous disorders, rheumatism, and
all complaints requiring invigorating and regu
lating treatment. Iu this quiet, unpretentious
way. 1'i.antation Birrniis was introduced to the
world. It was a success from tho beginning.
All that was claimed for it as a tonic, a correc
tive and antidote to malarious fever, was found
to bo strictly true. Within fivo veers the anim
al Bales of this article amounted to over One
Million of Itottles. A few years mora ond the
demand had swolled to fivo millions. The annu
al consumption of tho bitters has now reached
tho almost incredible aggregate of six millions
ok bottles, and fur every bottlo sold a copy of
tho Illcstbateu Medical Anncal, published
by the proprietors, at a cost of 150.000. is
given away.

Cheer Up, and Stand By !''
Tuii advice, given by bluff Captain Cuttle to tlie
forlorn Mr. Toots, il cordially tflidered to all who
are laboring under that cloud of dupregylon and
melancholy which usuully accoinpauit's chronic in
digestion,' biliousness, hubitunl constipation and
uervous debility. ' t'heer up t " wou-begone inva
lids. Tbe causes of your gloomy feelings, though
they muy be chronic and of long standing, are no;
incurable. A course of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, the purest and most genial of all vegetable
Btlmuluuts and correctives, ftud especially adapted
to cases like yours, will relieve you of your bod'y
ailments aud consequent mental misery, speedily,
certainly and without pulu. The chills and damps
of the present season, iu fact all its atmospheric
conditions, are unfavorable to dyspeptie, biUous
and nervous sufferers. They need a stimulant, as
well as a tonio aud alterative. This wholesome
vegetable preparation combines tbe three. While
tt increases the digestive capacity of the stom
ach, and changes and regulates the condition
of the liver and the bowels, it gives an agree
able impulse to the mental faculties and steadies
the -nerves. Unmedlcated sttmulauts are never
advisable; the j aie too exciting, and often re-act
disastrously. On the other hand, the sham tonics
which contain no diffusive stimulant, and are sur
charged with drastic evacusuts that almost turn a
man inside out, are dangerous. The system needs
more vitality, and they prostrate it euti ely. Hos
tettor's Bitters has no aftlulty either with the dan
gerous excitant or the still mora dangerous deple
te! t. It simply strengthens and regulates the body
an clean tbe mind. This It the whole secret of its
cures.
No Gold Found.
It is fortunate for the auriferous repu
tation of the southern continent that
another land of treasure has been dis-'
covered, for the gold mines of 1'eru are
even more exhausted than those of
California. The few foreigners who
hae recently sunk their capital in the
sands of the Peruvian rivers have not
recovered much of it, and the search
for gold has been virtually abandoned.
Even the tombs of the Inc'as no longer
yield the precious metal to the sacri
ligious invader. It has long been a
tradition in Peru that in a sepulchre
situated near the summit of a high
mountain, a few miles from Arequipa,
gold to the value of about thirteen mil
lion dollars was buried. About a year
ago some adventurous foreigners as
cended the mountain with a party of
Indian guides and laborers. They dug
at the place pointed out by the Indians,
and found a handsome vault of burnt
brick. In the vault lay the dried-np
remains of an old Peruvian queen. On
her wrists were bracelets of silver, but
no gold could be discovered. Owing to
tlie rarity of the atmosphere, the ad
venturers were forced to return to
Arequipa without having completed
their explorations. Curiously enough,
most of the gold in Peru comes from
Europe in tlie shape of subscriptions
to loans aud the proceeds of guano,
and those who sign for the wealth of
Peru are really sighing for heaps of that
substance.
Tlie Prince Imperial.
The young Prince Napoleon Eugene
Louis can Joseph was born on the l.jth
of March, 1850, and is therefore son of
the late Ex-Emperor of the French now
drawing toward the completion of his
seventeenth year. It wits intended that
he should receive a military education,
and while still an infant was placed in
the muster roll of the French Imperial
Guards as a private. It was designed
as a compliment to the army that he
should at least nominally go through
all the gradations of the service. Be
sides receiving a first-class military edu
cation he received lessons in two or
three handicrafts, the last of which was
the setting np of typos in the imperial
printing ofliee of Paris. The young
f'rince always hore the reputation ot
being intelligent, good tempered and
very much attached to his friends and
chosen companions.
The late ex-Emperor was a most par
ticular and thoroughly practical reader
in his way, would not allow his spelling
accentuation, or pointing to be inter
ferred with in the least, A compositor,
who was employed in the connection of
some of tlie Emperor's slips of a work
he had in progress, communio:tted some
facts of interest. He said the voung
prince was a capital compositor, that he
had a case of the best mahogany cases,
a small imposing surface of slate, and
the prettiest little press in the world.
A child in Helena, Hon., who swallow
ed some concentrated lye two years ago,
has been kept alive since then only by
feeding him through a stomach-pump.
Editorial notices are so common that
it is almost impossible for an editor to
express his honest opinion of the merits
of any article without being suspected
of interested motives. This fact, how
ever, shall not deter us from saying
what we think of a new addition to the
Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer
to Dr. J. Walker's California Vinegar
Bitters, a remedy which is making its
way into more families just now than
all the other advertised medicines put
together.
'Its popularity, as far as we can judge,
is not based on empty pretention.
There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and alterative
properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing
neither alcohol nor mineral poison.
That it is a specific for Indigestion,
Billiousness, Constipation and many
complaints of nervovs origin, we have
reason to kifow ; and we are assured
on gaod 'authority that as a general
invigorant, regulating and purifying
medicine it has no equal.
It is stated that its ingredients (ob
tained from the wilds of California,) are
new to the medical world; and its ex
traordinary effects certainly warrant the
conclusion that it is a compound of
agents hitherto unknown. If popular
ity is any criterion, there can be no
doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar
Bitters, for the sale of" the article is im
mense and continually increasing.
