TOPICS OF THE DAY.
Ameiicans are the greatest butter
eating people in the world. This is
one reason why the export of butter
docs not increase so rapidly as its manu
facture, and why the price is maintain
ed so high as it is.
London speculators are buying up
our trade dollars. It is said that these
purchases are made in the expectation
that Congress will some time make
trade dollars a legal tender or direct
their redemption at face value.
It appears that over 40,000 miles of
railroad have been built in the United
states since and including 1879. This
is about one-third of the entire mileage
or the country. Last year the amount
raised to build the.se roads was over
$700,000,000.
Germany has a temperance revival
such as was never known in that
country before. It is led by Count
Moltke, and many eminent men are
among its foremost workers. The
German reformers have not yet attain
ed the standard of total abstinence,
but are preaching moderation.
Dynamite must go the rear as the
great explosive and make way for
"panclastite," a free translation of
which term is "smash up," It is a
liquid and is said to be composed of
bisulphide of carbon and hyponitrie
acid. It requires a greater shook than
dynamite to explode it, and each of its
components is non-explosive by itself.
AY hen combined the resultis terrific.
The peach-growing center is gradu
ally moving south. A few years ago
there were great orchards in New
Jersey. Then Delaware was the chief
producer. Now Maryland and Vir
ginia are coming to the front. The
largest peach farms are in Maryland.
The Round Top farm has 125,090
trees. On the estate of Colonel Vat
kins there are 120,000 trees. A peach
tree's usefulness is over after ten or
twelve years of life, and the soil in
which it grows is unfit for peach
culture.
Some of the Western judges draw
nice distinctions. An Arkansas court
has decided that it is not arson for a
man to set fire to his own house, while
by an Indiana tribunal it is held that
to constitute the crime of a: son the
house itself, and not merely its con
tents, must be set on fire. But a late
California decision is perhaps more i
unique than either. The Supreme
Court reversed a conviction for perjury
on the ground that the false testimony I
given by the offender was not material
to the case, anil therefore could not be
perjury.
Chicago claims to be cosmopolitan
Little more than fifty per cent of its
population was born in the United
States, and according to the statistics
for 1882, given as based upon the
Federal census of 1880, no less than
94,000 of the present inhabitants of
that city have poured from the various
states of the German empire. The
Bohemians number 12,000; Canadians
-15.000; Danes, 3,100; French, nearly
2,00Q; Irish, nearly 50,000; Hollanders,
3,300; Italians, 1,400; Norwegians
-5,700; Swedes, 16,000; Poles, 5,700,
and Swiss 2,000, with a sprinkling of
Russians, Hungarians, Spaniards,
Portuguese, and men of almost every
other race and nationality under the
sun.
The will of John Davenport, of
Portland, Oregon, was compelled to
take a long journey. Mr. Davenport
died in England, and his will was pro
bated in London. As lie left $40,000
worth of property in Oregon, it was
necessary that it should also be probat
ed there. It was also requisite that
the original document should be pro
duced, and as when a will is probated
in England the Probate Court keeps it
in charge, an officer of the London
court had to make the journey to
Oregon with Mr. Davenport's will, in
t rder that it might be probated there
This has been done, and it is said to
have been the first instance of the
kind that ever occurred.
Fiery Sti'fTs Drank by Alaskans.
The hoochinoo, so called from its
first being made by the Indians of that
tribe, is the great enemy of peace and
order among these people. Govern
ment orders prevent the importation
of whisky, rum, and the like, but the
ever vigilant officers cannot keep
watch of all the illicit stills that the
Indians set up in their houses or in
lonely spots in the woods. A deserter
from a whaling ship once taught the
Indians how to distill hoochinoo, and
the secret of manufacture has never
been allowed to die out. An empty
oil-can, some sections of rubber pipe t
or the hollow stems of the long sea
onions furnish a sufficient apparatus!
and molasses, sugar, and most any.
thing else supply ingredients for the
fiery stuff that can be distilled in a
short time. The mariners from the
man-of-war are always on the look
out for hoochinoo, and with the first
signs of it a raid is made on Siwash
town and the supply destroyed if pos
sible. With the cunning of a savage
race the Indians have most wonderful
ways and places for concealing the
hoochinoo, and it takes the keen scent
of a detective to find the underground
and up-tree hiding places they can de
vise.

The magnificent buildings of the Pilts

Allegheny river, havo been totally destroyed.
The immense structures, with their almost
endless variety of exhibits, illustrative of
every branch of art, science nnd mechanical
skill, which were yesterday visited by thous

September 6th, by hundreds of thousands,

The destruction is complete, and nothing but
the site remains of the home of specimens
of brain and brawn in which Pittsburgora
felt so much pride. The fire was first dis
covered at two o'clock this morning in the
boiler-room attached to Machinery llall. id
'ho south oad of the building, and before
the watchman could give an alarm the flames
had spread to Floral Hall, Machinery llall
and the Main Building, and in less than ten
minutes the buildings wore on fire from end
to ond, and when the fire department arrived
nn the ground the flames wore beyond con
trol. Nothing was saved, and the firemen
turned their attention to saving adjacent
property, many residences on bouth avenue
being in flames. By hard work, however,
they succeeded in saving all these, with no
more damage than the miming of cornices
and fences. Repeated alarms soon aroused
almost tho entire population of the two
cities, and it is estimated that not le<s than
75,000 to 100,0J0 people witnessed tho confla
gration. The reflection of the flames illumi
nated the country for miles around, la one
hour from the diseoverv of the lire a mere
attenuated skeleton of n once magnificent
structure was all that was left. The exhibits
consisted of all varieties of our products and
pidustries, including many valuable relics,
among which was the ' Arabian," the old

the largest portion of the ash when
any tissue is burned. The blood will
take up just so much and no more
than it needs, however much we eat
with our food."— Dr. Footers Monthly.
zvii able author says: "Pickles are
exceedingly unwholesome as articles of
food, and often cause acute dyspepsia.
\ oung ladies addicted to their free use

are next to impossible of digestion.—

Choosing' a Husband.
Mixed with tho humor and nonsense
of tho following selections are many
shrewd ani * valuable hints to those
young la llies whose minds are prone to
thoughts 0 * love.
First c Htch your lover.
Hold hibi when you have him.
, , e , . to catch every
Don t let go of him J
new one that conies along.
Try to get pretty well acquainted
with him before you .take him for
life.
Unless you intend to support him,
Und out whether he earns enough to
support you.
I Don't make up your mind that he is
: an angel.
Don't palm yourself off on him as
one, either.
Don't let him spend his salary on
you; that right should be reserved till
after marriage.
If you havo conscientious scruples
against marrying a man with a mother,
say so in time, that he may get rid of
her to oblige you, or riii of you to
oblige her, as he thinks best.
It you object to secret societies and
tobacco, it is better to come out with
your objections now than to reserve
ihein for curtain lectures hereafter.
If your adorer happens to fancy a
certain shade of hair, don't color or
bleach to oblige him. Remember your
hair belongs to you and he doesn't.
Be very sure it is the man you are in
love with, and not the clothes he
wears. Fortune and fashion are both
) so tickle, it is foolish to take a stylish
suit ot clothes for better or worse.
| It you intend to keep three servants
after marriage, settle the matter be
forehand. Tiie man who is making
! love to you may expect you to do your
own washing.
Don't try to hurry a proposal by car
rying on a flirtation with some other
fellow. Different men are made of
! different material, and t lie one you
want may go off in a fit of jealousy
and forget to come back.
If you have a love letter to write,
don't copy it out of a "letter-writer."
Ii your young man ever happened to
consult the same book he would know
your sentiments were borrowed.
Don't marry a man to oblige any
i third person in existence. It is your
right to suit yourself in the matter.
But remember at the same time that
love is blind, and a little friendly ad
vice trom one win sa advice is worth
having may insure you a lifetime of
happiness or prevent one of misery.
In love affairs always keep your eyes
wide open, so that when the right man
comes along you may see him.
B hen you do see him you will rec
ognize him and the recognition will be
mutual.
If you have no fault to find with
j him personally, morally, religiously. < r
any other way, he is probally perfect
enough to suit you, and you can afford
to believe him, hope in him, love him,
marry him.

Sr. Louis, Mo.—A Chronicle re
porter was told by Mr. Alfred J.
I'apin, of this city, that his nephew had
the most obstinate case of inflamma

It cured the young man. and he recom
mends it as the greatest cure for pains
in the world.
Praying for Papa.
A few nights ago a well known cit
izen of Detroit, Mich., who has been
walking for some tiuie in the down
ward path, came out of his home and
. started down town for a night of ca
rousal with some old companions he
had promised to meet. 11 is young wife
had besought him with imploring eyes
to spend the evening with her. ami had
reminded him of the time when even
ings passed in her company were all
too short, llis little daughter had
clung about his knees and coaxed in
her pretty, wilful way for "papa" to
tell her some bedtime stories, but habit
was stronger than love for wife and
child, und he? eluded their tender ques
tioning by the special sophistries the
father of evil advances at such times
from his credit fund, and went his
way. But when he was a block from
his home he found that in changing
his coat he had forgotten to remove his
wallet, and he could not go out on a
drinking bout without money, even
though he knew that his family needed
it, that his wife was economizing each
day more and more in order to make
up his deficits, and he hurried baek and
crept softly past the windows of the
iittle home, in order that he might
steal in and obtain it, without running
the gauntlet of either questions or ca
resses. But something stayed his feet;
there was a fire in the grate within—
for the night was chill—and it lit up
tho little parlor and brought out in
startling effects the pictures on the
wall. But these were as nothing to
the picture on the hearth. There, in
the soft glow of the firelight, knelt his
little child at her mother's feet, its
small hands clasped in prayer, its fair
bead bowed; and as its rosy lips utter
ed each word with childish distinctness,
the father listened, spellbound to the
spot.
"Now I lay mo down to sleep,
I pray the IKMCI my eoul to keep;
If I should dio before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
Sweet petition! The man himself,
who stood there with bearded lips shut
tightly together, had said that prayer
once at his mother's knee. Where was
that mother now? The sunset gates
had long ago unbarred to let her pass
through. But the child had not fin
ished; he heard her "God bless mamma,
papa and my ownself"—then there was
a pause, and she lifted troubled blue
eyes to her mother's face.
"God • bless papa," prompted the
mother, softly.
"God bless papa," lisped the little
one.
"And—please send him home sober." i
He could not hear the mother as she
said this, but the child followed in a
clear, inspired tone:
'•'God—bless papa—and please—send
him—home—sober. Amen." Mother
and child sprang to their feet in alarm
when the door opened so suddenly, but
they were not afraid when they saw
who it was—returned so soon; but that
night, when Mamie was being tucked
up in bed after such a romp with papa
she said in the sleepiest and most coil
tented of voices:
"Mamma, God answers most as quick
as the telephone, doesn't he?"

derful pre; nration in tho treatment of
Bright's disease of the kidneys. Pat ents had
frequently asked ine about tho remedy, and
I had heard of remarkable cures effected ly
it, but like many others 1 hesitated to recom
mend its use. A personal friend i f mine hud
been in ]>oor health for some time, and his
application for insurance on his life ha 1
l>een rejected on account of Blights
disease. (JHemic al and microscopical ex
amination of his urine rcv> aled tie
presence of large quantities of albumen and
granular tube crests, which confirmed the
correctness of the diagnosis. After trying
all the usual remedies, I directed him to" u>e
this preparation and was gnatly surprised
to oi serve a decided inprovement within a
month, and within fo.tr months no tube
casts cou d be discovered. At that timo there
was pr. sunt only a trace of albumen, and he
: fc t. ns li? expressed it, 'perfectly w*.-ll,' and
all through tn r > influence of Warner's Bafo
Cure, the remedy he used."
"After this I pres.ribod this medicine In
j full dosts in b th a ute and chronic nophri
tis. (H right's di case) and with the most uatis
fa tory results. My oloervations were neither
small in number nor hastily made. They cx
tended over several months and embiaced a
large number of cases which have proved so
satisfactory to my mind, that I would ear
nestly urge upon my professional brethren
the importance of giving a fair and patient
trial to Warner's Safe Cure. In a arge class
of ailments w here tho blood is obviously in
an unh althy state, especially where g'an lu
lar e: gorgements and inflammatory
erupt i ns exipt, indeed in many of tho?o
forms of chronic in disposition in which there
is i.o evidence of organic m.schief, but where
the general health is depict "d, tie face sallow,
the ur.nc colored, constituting th condition
in w hicb the j atieut is said tobo' bilious,' tho
advantage gained by the us.* of tins remedy
is reumrkab>. In Bright s disca- it seems
to net as a solvent of albumen; to soothe and
heal the inflamed membranes; to wah out
the epithelial debris which biociis up the tub
uli uriniftri, an 1 to prevent a dii:t.uct.ve
metamorphosis of tissue."
" Belonging as 1 do to a bravch of the pro
fession that believes that nv one school of
medicine knows all tho tru'.h regarding the
treatment of disease, and b ing in lepriident
enough to select any remedy that wil. iei.eve
iny ] aticnts, without reference to tiie source
fn>ni whence it comes, 1 uni gla 1 tv)acknowl
edge and commend the merits of this remedy
thus frankly.

What a puzzle the little child is in the domestic economy !
