publishing sheet music, be has devoted his whole
capital and attention to the manufacture and sale
of Pianos and Melodeons. He has just issued a 1
catalogue of his new instruments, giving a new I
scale of prices, which shows a marked reduction |
from former rates, and bis Pianos have recently ,
been awarded the First Premium at several Fairs
Many people of the present day, who arc attract- j
ed, if not confussd, with the finning adeertise
mentsof rival piano houses, probably overlook the
modest manufacturer like Mr Waters; but we
happen to kbow that his instruments earned him a j
good reputation long before Expositions and"hon
ors" connected therewith were ever thought of; •
indeed, we have one of Mr Waters' Pianofortes j
now in our residence (where it has stood for many
years.) of which any manufacturer in the world
might well be proud. We have always been do- i
lighted with it as a sweet-toned and powerful in
strument, and there is no doubt of its durability ; ,
wore tbar, this, some of the best amateur players
in the city, as well as several celebrated pianists,
have performed on the same piano, and all pro
nounce it a superior and first-class instrumeut.

; The Chinese Government having (through the
Hon. Anson Burlingame) conceded to this Com
pany the privilege of connecting the great sea
! ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele
graph cable, we propose commencing operations
in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred
i miles at once, between the following port s, viz :
Population.
; Canton 1,000,000
! Macoa 60,000
! Hong-Kong 250,000
Swatow 200,000
Atnoy 250.000
i Foo-Chow 1,250,000
; Wan-Chu 300,000
j Ningpo 400,000
Hang Chean..... 1.200,000
Shanghai 1.000,000
Total 5 010.000
These ports have a foreign commerce of $900,-
000,000, and an enormous domestic trade, besides
I which we have the immense internal commerce of
the Empire, radiating from theso points, through
its canals and navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
! command there, as everywhere else, the comma
nisations of the Governmont, of business, and of
social life especially in China. She has no postal
system, and her only means nowofeommuuicating
iniorraation is ty couriers on land, and bv steam
; ws on water.
The Western World knows that China is a very
i large country, in the main densely peopled; but
few yet realize that she contains more than a third
of the human race. The latest returng made to
her central authorities for taxing purposes by the
local magistrate make her population Four han
dled and Fourteen millions, and this is more
likely to be under than over the actual aggregate.
Nearly all of these, who are over ten years old,
not only can 'out do reid and write. Her civili
zation is peculiar, but her literature is as exten
sive as that of Eurepe. China is a land of teach
ers and traders; and the latter are exceedingly
quick to avail themselves of every proffered facili
ty for procuring early information. It is observed
in California that the Chinese make great use of
the telegraph, though it there transmits messages
in English alone. To-day great numbers of fleet
steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, aD.I
u-ed by them exclusively for the transmission of
j early intelligence. If the telegraph we propose
connecting all their great seaports, were now in
i existence, it is believed that its business would
! pay the cost within the first two years of its suc
! ecx-ful operation, and would steadily increase
I thereafter.
No enterprise commends itself as in a greater
! degree renumerative to capitalists, and to our
whole people. It is of vast national importance
commercially, politically and evangelically.

qualifiedly recommended to capitalists and busi
ness men. as a desirable investment by editorial

HAVE HEARD OF
IIOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS,
AND
IIOOFLAND'S LEHMAN TONIC.
Prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, Philadelphia.
Their introduction into this country from Ger
many occurred in
1825.
THEY CURED YOUR
FATHERS AND MOTHERS,
And will cure you and your children. They are
entirely different from-j —g- the many preparations
now in the eountry cal I— I I led Bitters or Tonics.
They arc no tavern * preparation, or any
thing like one; but good, honest, reliable medi
cines. They are
The greatest known remedies for
Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA,
Nervous Debility,
JAUNDICE,
Diseases of the Kidnevs,
ERUPTIONS OF THE SKIN,
and all Diseases arising from a Disordered Liver,
stomach, or
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
Constipation, Flatulence, Inward Piles, Fullnes
of Blood to the Head, Acidity of the Stomach,
Nausea, Heartburn, Disgust for Food, Full
ness or Weight in the Stomach, Sour Eruc
tations, Sinking or Fluttering at the
Pit of the Stomach, Swimming of the
Head. Hurried or Difficult Breathing,
Fluttering at the Heart, Choking or
Suffocating Sensa fl I lions when in a Lying
Posture. Dimness of \.s Vision, Dots or Webs
before the sight. Dull Puin in the Head, Defi
ciency of Perspiration. Yellowness ofthe Skin
and Eyes, Pain in the Side, Back, Chest,
Limbs, etc., Sudden Flushes of Heat,
Burning in the Flesh. Constant Imagi
nings of Evil and Great Depression of Spirits.
All these indicate diseases of the Liver or Di
gestive Organs, combined with impure blood.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS
is entirely vegetable and contains no liquor. It
is a compound of Fluid Extracts. The Roots,
Herbs, ana Barks from which the3e extracts are
made, are gathered in Germany. All the medi
cinal virtueus are ex traded from them by
a scientific Chemist. ■ ft These extracts are
then forwarded to this J country to be used ex
pressly fur the manufacture of these Bitters.
There is no alcoholic substance of any kind used
in compounding the Bitters, hence it is the only
Bitters that can be used in cuses where alcoholic
stimulants arc not advisable.
HOOFLAND'S GERMAN TONIC
is a combination of all the ingredients of the Bit
ters, with PUKE Santa Cruz Rum. Orange, etc. It
is used for the same diseases as tbe Bitters, in ease
where some pure alcoholic stimulus is required.
You will bear in mind that these remedies are en
tirely different from any others advertised for the
cure of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medicinal extracts, while the oth
ers are mere decoctions of rum in some form. The
TONIC is decidedly one of the most pleasant and
agreeable remedies ever offered to the public Its
taste is exquisite. It is a pleasure to take it, while
its life-giving, exhilarating, and medicinal quali
ties have caused it to be known as the greatest of
all tonics.
DEBTLITT.
There is no medicine equal to Hoofland's Ger
man Bitters or Tonic ■ - in cases of Debility.
They impart a tone |4 and vigor to the whole
system, strengthen JL the appetite, cause an
enjoyment of the food, enable the stomach to di
gest it, purify the blood, give a good, sound,
healthy complexion, eradicate the yellow tinge
from the eye, impart a bloom to the cheeks, and
change the patient from a short-breathed, emaci
ated, weak, and nervous invalid, to a full-faced,
stout, and vigorous person.
Weak and Delicate Children are
made strong by using the Bitters or Tonic. In
fact, they are Family Medicines. They can be
administered with perfect safety to a child three
months old, the most delicate female, or a man of
ninety.
These remedies are the best
Blood Purifiers
ever known and will cure all diseases resulting
from had blosd. Keep yjur blood pure; keep
your Liver in otder, keep your digestive
organs in a sound, I heaithy condition by
the use of these reiue $ J dies, ami no diseases
will ever assail you The best men in thecountry
recommend them. If years of honest reputation
go for anything, you must try these preparations.
PROM HON. GEO. W. WOODWARD,
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva
nia.
PHILADELPHIA, March IS. 1867.
I find that "Hoofland's German Bitters" is not
an intoxicating beverage, but is a good tonic, use
ful in disorders of the digestive organs, and of
great benefit in cases of debility and want of ner
vous action in the system.
Yours Trulv.
GEO. W. WOODWARD.
FROM HON. JAMES TAOMPSON.
Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, April 28, 1866.
I consider "Hooflaud's German Bitters" a valua
ble medicine in case . of attacks of Indiges
tion or Dyspepsia. I \ can certify this from
my experience of it. il Yours, with respect,
JAMES THOMPSON.
FROM REV. JOSEPH U. KENNARD, D. D.,
Pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
DR. JACKSOS—DEAR SIR:—I have been fre
quently requested to connect my name with rec
ommendations of different kinds of medicines, but
regarding the piactice as out of my appropriate
sphere I have in all cases declined , but with a
clear proof in various instances, and particularly
in my own family, of the usefulness of Dr. Hoof
land's German Bitters, I depart for once from
my usual course, to express my full conviction
that for general debility of the system, and es
pecially for Liver Com -m-r plaint, it is a safe
and valuable prepara |Nj tion. In some cases
it may fail; bnt usual i-t ly, I doubt not, it
will be very beneficial to those who suffer from the
above causes. Yours, very respectfully,
J. H. KENNARD,
Eigth, below CoatesStreet.

ion upon the matter in the subjoined
sensible talk:
How many farmers do we find that
have not the ingenuity to repair a
rake, or other small farm implement.
Were they brought up on a farm ?
Yes. Well, then, why is it? Some
may say they are of that unfortunate
class of mortals that are not gifted
with their share of ingenuity. This is
a great mistake. If you will take the
trouble to inquire of them what they
spent their time at when young, they
will tell you farming. Was their fath
er a farmer? Yes, the best in the
neighborhood, they may say. Well
what did he employ himself and boys
at rainy days? "O nothing; when it
rained too hard to work we generally
spent our time at the village, in the
stores and tavern. You know that
boys want rest some times." Very
true, but is there no other enjoyment
for boys than at the tavern and stores ?
Had the father had a workshop, with
a select lot of tools, would not those
boys have had some job for a rainy
day; such as a little cart, sleigh, wagon,
or boat to make or repair? There are
very few boys who do not have such
things to make. Thus by having a
small workshop, boys sooh acquire a
taste to handle tools, and tinker up
many little playthings of their own.
When older, the knowledge gained
will beof great service to them in mak
ing and repairing implements on the
farm. But there are habits which
they acquire in spending their leisure
time at the village, which is the ruin
of many- a promising boy, for where do
we find u village now, in which there
is not one of the taverns, where the
temptation appears to he strong judg
ing from the numbers we generally
find in them getting spirituous liquors
to drink ?
When will farmers learn to make
their homes attractive for their boys
and themselves? A few good hooks,
one or more good agricultural papers,
and last, but not least, a workshop.—

A Home of Your Own. —An exchange
very appropriately remarks that every
poor laboring man should buy himself
a town lot—got that paid for, and then
work to add the necessary improve
ments—a little here and a little there
will in due time produce you a home
of your own, and place you outside of
the landlord's grasp. Remember that
SSO a year saved in rent will in a very
few years pay for your own home and
the money it costs you to move and
shift about, will without any loss of
furniture and of time, pay the interest
of a five hundred dollar judgment
against your property until you can
gradually reduce it to nothing. You
can all buy in that way—why do you
not risk it? If you fail you are no
worseoff—if you succeed, as any careful
man is sure to do, you have made a
home and established a credit equal to
another which will start you in busi
ness. Poor men, take our advice, buy
oue of the lots now offered for sale and
see how much better it will be for you
and your family five years after this.
Card The Cows.—One would think
that any kind-hearted man, when he
sees how grateful this operation Is to
a cow, would be willing to spend a few
moments in carding her. It pays as
well to clean a cow as a horse. All
who have fairly tried it find great
benefit from the operation. And not
one farmer in a hundred makes it a
practice to use the card or curry comb
in the cow-stable. We know stupid
men who laugh at the idea as a mere
notion of some fancy farmer. But, in
point of fact, no cow can give the best
results at the pail unless this matter is
attended to, especially in winter.
Sunflower Seed.—lt Is said that small
quantities of sunflower seed mixed
with the food of a horse will impart a
fine gloss to his hair, while it is a sure
cure for founder, if given immediately
after the ailment is discovered. In
the latter csi.se, about a pint of seed
should be mingled with the oats or
chopped feed, when a cure will be ef
fected.
For a young man who is thoroughly
in earnest, farming offers a grant! field
for effort ; but the man who is only in
earnest, who thinks that showy sur
roundings are the great object of at
tainment, will find that the results of
his farming operations are not very en
couraging.
JToneg Cake.— Three quarts of honey;
half a pound of fine loaf sugar; a quar

IllJ'r/ AND THE DARKIES.
Blitz! The very name is synonymous
with witchcraft and roguery. What a
twank of jugglery there is in its pro
nunciation! Presto change ! —magical
words in themselves—are no more i
dentitied with miraculous deeds than
that of Blitz. He is the prince of con
jurors, and adds to his wonderful dex
terity at legerdemain the most remark
able power of the human voice known
as ventriloquism. Blitz is an arrant
joker, and loves to carry out a practi
cal joke of fun. For some weeks past
he has been frightening the market
men in New York by causing their
dead poultry and dressed pigs to talk
all sorts of stuff, and to make formal
complaints of the untimely end to
which they had been brought. One
butcher after throwing a half dozen
turkeys into the street Ijeeause they
would gobble, though they were as
dead as a door nail, was saluted with a
terrible grunt from a young pig that he
was offering fur sale all clean and dress
ed for the table. Frightened half out
of his wits, the market man fairly "cut
stick," nor would he comeback again
until piggy had been removed.
But the naughtiest thing that Blitz
ever did was to disturb a negro meet
ing some years ago in Belknap street,
Boston. The story is not generally
known, as it would, perhaps, have led
to some personal trouble to him had it
been represented to the authorities.
All Boston knows or has heard ofthe
negro preacher, Father Suowden, who
held forth to his colored friends in
Belknap street for so many years. It
was a quiet summer's afternoon, when
the house was pretty well filled—there
being a revival of religion going on—
when Blitz and some other persons
(although he is himself as dark as a
mulatto, and has "curly* hair," to
boot) entered the house. It was pret
ty warm weather; but things went on
nicely enough until the minister got
warmed up in hissubject, and was using
words almost too big for a common
sized dictionary, when Blitz thought
it about time to do something.
"And the I-iord said unto Moses"—
"Bow-wow-wow," came apparently
from behind the speaker.
The congregation looked each other
in the face with countenances darker
than ever, while Father Snowden, af
ter staring behind himself, seemed to
come to the conclusion that the noise
proceeded from the street, and so he
commenced again.
"And the Lord said unto Moses"—
"Ain't you ashamed of yourself!—
take your hand off me !" said a voice
apparently proceeding from a very neat
mulatto girl, who sat in the front pew,
and upon whom all eyes were now
turned.
"I didn't touch yer," said the man
next to her in amazement.
Some smiled and said, "Sam John
son ought to be ashamed of himself to
act so in meeting," and the minister
frowned upon him in away that would
have thawed a snowball outright, after
which Mr. Snowden attempted once
more to resume his remarks.
"And the Lord said unto Moses"—
"Well, what did he say ?" came sud
denly frona the lips of an attentive lis
tener in the side aisle.
The minister was astounded. lie
looked at the man as though his bold
ness had electrified him, and some of
the congregation began to think that
under the circumstance the inquiry
was a very natural and appropriate
one. As to the minister himself, he
was a little vexed now, and repeated
with emphasis:
"And the Lord said unto Moses"—
"P'ire ! Fire!" roared a voice, which
seemed to coins from the entrance to
the house, with startling earnestness.
This was too much to bear tamely.
Even the minister rushed to the
door, and the affrighted women scream
ed as if they were mad, and they hud
dled and pushed each other out of the
pews and down the aisle. Bonnets
suffered some on the occasion; and
when they all got fairly out, they
looked up to the top of the meeting
house patiently to see the flames burst
through the slated roof.
And there Blitz left them standing,
their eyes rolled heavenward, and
Parson Snowden in a brown study.
Anvii i; TO (JIKLS.- Young ladies,
the whole secret with nine-tenths of
you, of not being able to secure good
husbands, is simply that you do not
know how to work. You have no
knowledge of practical house keeping,
and consequently are useless as help
mates. Instead of being an assisstant
to a husband you are an obstacle to his
success. Your style of living, too, is
incompatible with his means. You j
want to begin house keeping as your i
parents left off, not as they began, and
there are few young men who have
not already a good income, can afford
to marry you.
There are no possible objections to
the accomplishments of music, paint
ing, and the like, as such, but the idea
is to be able to set these prior amuse
ments aside, for the stern duties of
married life call for your practical
knowledge. Show the young man that
you can do your part as double busi
ness, and that you will not be a dead
expense to him through life. Believe
us, young friends, as many true, patri
otic, womanly hearts beat over house
hold duties as flutter beneath the soft
light of a parlor chandelier. Your kiss
is just as sweet, your smile just as
bright, your heart as happy and tender
afteradaysexertionsina sphere worthy
of true womanhood, as in the place of
dissipation, frippery and silly amuse
ment. Have an ambition to do your
part In life, cultivate industrial habits,
and let the parlor accomplishments go
with the higher accomplishments we
have roughly enumerated. It is as
tonishing how soon a domestic young
lady is found out and appreciated. It
is because she is such a rare exception
to the general rule.

HOW TO >UKE A WIFE IMIAI'I'Y.
See her as seldom as possible. I f she
is warm-hearted and cheerful, or if af
ter a day's or a week's absence, she
meets you with a smilling face, and in
an affectionate manner, be sure to look
coldly on her, and answer her in mon
asyllables. If she repels her tears and
is resolved to look cheerful, sit down
and gape in her presence till she is fully
convinced of your indifference. Never
think for a moment that you
have anything to do to make
her happy, but that her happiness con
sists in gratifying your caprices, and
when she has done all that a woman
can do, he sure you do not appear satis
fied. Never take an interest in any of
her pursuits, and if she asks your ad
vice, make her feel that she is troub
lesome and impertinent. If she at
tempts to rally you good humorediy
on any of your peculiarities, never join
in the laugh, but frown her into silence.
Ifshehas faults—which undoubtedly
she has, and is ignorant of—never at
tempt to correct them, but be certain to
continually obtrude upon her ears,
"What a good wife somebody else has,
and how happy a man must he with
such a wife." In company, never
seem to know that-you have a wife
treat all her remarks with indifference,
and be very affable and complaisant to
every lady present,except your wife. If
you strictly follow the above direction,
you may be certain of an obedient and
broken-haerted wife.
AFTER AN OFFlCE.—Yesterday a
sable representative of the "best gov
ernment in the world," surmounting
the elevated seat of a dilapidated car
ryall, drove up to the central station in
this city, and inquired for the "boss."
The unique vehicle contained his an
cient dame and two diminutive scions
of the "house." A quadruped which
a very polite man, with a due regard
to the sensibilities of the animal, might
dignify with the distinctive appella
tion of mule, had the honor of pulling
the conveyance and its loyal freight.
| Word being conveyed to Captain Cain
that a visitor wished to see him on
business of importance, that gentle
man soon made his appearance.
"What do you want ?"
"Git to stop with you, boss !"
"Want to stop with me?" inquired
; the astonished officer.
"Yes, boss ; jis for all night."
; "Gb ! you want to stay at the station
| to-night ?"
j "Y'es, sar."
"But where are you going with all
j that plunder ?"
"Goin' to Washington, sar !"
"What Washington— not to Wash
| ington City ?"
"\es, sar, dat's de place, where de
! President is!"
"W hat in the name of Heaven are
j you going there for?"
"\V ell, you see, boss, Massa Grant's
I got de place now, and dey say we col
ored folks gwiue to get all de offices
when he gets in ; so I's gwine to see if
he won't makedis chile gub'ner !"
It is needless to say that the colored
"gemman" was hospitably entertain
ed, and sent on his way rejoicing.—

TIIE JOURNEY OF LIFE.—Ten thous
and human beings are sent forth to
gether on their journey. After ten
years one third, at least, have disap
peared. At the middle point of the
common measure of life but half are
still on the road. Faster and faster, as
the ranks grow thinner, they that re
mained till now become weary, and
lie down and rise no more. At three
score and ten a band of some four hun
dred yet struggle on. At ninety, these
have been reduced to a mere handful
of thirty trembling patriachs. Year
after year they fall in diminishing
numbers. One lingers a lonely mar
vel, till the century is over. We look
again and the work of death is finish
ed.
CALIFORNIA FARMING.—The San
Francisco papers complain that the
yield of wheat in California has fallen
from forty bushels an acre down to
twenty bushels; and that, if the pres
ent improvident style of farming con
tinues, the crops will not average over
twenty bushels an acre. The old cus
tom of burning the stubble and straw,
instead of turning it into compost, has
been revived. If the practice is not
abandoned, the worn-out wheat fields
of California, it is asserted, cannot be
restored without great expense and the
application of tho best agricultural
skill.
IT is asserted that a very "loyal" and
very pious editor in Troy, New York,
whose sympathies have always been
deeply moved in behalf of the suffering
negro, lias suffered his* own father to
die in an lowa poor-house, without
sending him the aid he was amply able
to furnish. The poor old man had the
misfortune to be white.
"Jo, how many scruples are there in
a drachm?"
"Don't know, Zur."
"Well, remember, there's eight."
"Eight! pooh! dad always takes his
without no scruples."
A Western editor, whose subscribers
complained very loudly that he did
not give them news enough for their
money, told them if they did not find
enough in the paper they had better
read the Bible, which he had no doubt
would be news to most of them.
A musical prodigy has appeared in
Mississippi, in the person of a negro
girl, an Ignorant field hand who can
not read a note or spell a word, but
who plays a piano exquisitely.
The papers tell us that " colored la
dy lately died at Residing, Ct., who
was the mother of 24 children, includ
ing six pairs of twins." She ought to
be worshipped as a holy mother by the
Mongrel party.
