QNE MILLIOJS OF LIVES SAVED it Is one of Iho remarkable fuels of this re*, markable ui*o not merely that so many persons are the victims of dyspepsia or Indigestion, bat its willing victims. -Now, wo won Id not bo »n dorstood to say that any one regiuds dyspepsia with favor, or feels disposed to rank It among Iho luxuries or life. Kar'lrom it. Those who have experienced Us torments would sGout such an Idea. All dread it, and would gladly dispense with Its unpleasant familiarities. AlurkTaploy who was jolly under all the trying circumstan ces In which ho was placed,never had an attack of dyspepsia, or his Jollity would hate speedily forsaken him. Men ami women sometimes sutler Us tortures uncomplainingly, but whoov-, cr board of a person who enjoyed them ? ■"■"Orrairnio-mmrnhTtous'dlscasos- to-whlcluthe, human system JsJlablo,there Is perhaps no,one so generally prevalent as dyspepsia. There are diseases more, acute a;id painful, and which -more frequently prove fatal, : but none, the ef fects of which are so depressing to thcmlnd ami so posltlveii' distressing to the body. Inhere fs a wretched being lb the world It is A CONFIRMED DYSPEPriC, Bat It is notourlutcutlofi to cUseantonlJ'o hor rors afDyspiipslrt. To describe them truthfully Is simply uu impossibility, but It Is 'possibly to point out iv remedy. We Imvosnlcl (Iml dyspep sia Is perhaps the most universal of human dis eases. ibis is emphatically the easy in the United Stales. Whether tills general preva lence is duo to the character oi the food, the method of Ha preparation, or the hasty manner in which it is usually s\\ allowed, is not our pro vince to explain. The great fact with which wo are culled to deal Is this ; DYSPEPSIA PREVAILS almost universally. Nearly every other person you meet is a vic tim, an apparently willing one, for were this not tho case, why so many i u/lerers, when a certain, speedy and safe remedy Is within the easy reach of all who desire to avail themselves of it? But sh°. majority will not. Blinded by preju dice; Oiftlatcrrcd by some Oliver unexplained in-- llucncb;- they refuse to accept the relief profer ed them. They turn a deaf ear to the testimony of the thousands whoso sullerings have been al lcvlate(l, and with strange InfultnUimi, appear to cling with-d> spcrulo determination to their ruthless tormentor. But says a dyspeptic; What Is this remedy? to'which wo reply: This great alleviator of human suffering is almost, as widely known as the English language., It has allayed the agonies of thousands, and Is to-day carrying comfort and encouragement to thou sands of others.' This acknowledged panacea hr none other than H«. HOO* LAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. Would you know move ol tho merits ol ibis wonderful medicine than can bo learned from tho experience of others? Try it*your.self, ami when It has failed to fulfil the assurance of its efficacy given by the proprietor, then abandon faith la It. • LET IT BE REMEMBERED, first of all, that Hootland’s Gorman Bitters Is not a rum beverage. • They are not alcoholic iu any sense of the term. They are composed wholly of the pure Juice or vital principle of roots, This is not a more assertion. The extracts .from which they are compounded aro prepared by one of tho ablest German chemists. Unlike any oilier Bitters in tho market, they arewholly free from spirituous Ingredients. Tho objections which hold with so much force against preparations of this class, naniHy—that a desire lor intoxicating drinks Is stimulated by their use, are hot valla in the Cose of the Gorman Bitters. So far from encouraging or inculating a taste or desire for inebriating beverages, it may be confidently as serted that their tendency Is in a diametrically opposite direction. Their ellbrts can be • BENEFICIAL ONLY In all cases of the biliary system HooflamL German Bitters slam! without unequal, acting promptly and vigorously ppon tho Liver, they ieniov« its torpidity and cause healthful secre tion of bile—thereby supplying the stomach with the most Indispensable elements of sound digestion In proper proportions. They give tone to the stomach— st hnuhulng Us functions, and enabling It to perform ito duties us nature de signed it should do. They Impart vigor and .strength lo the entire system,'causing the pa tient to feel like another being—ln fact, giving him anew lease oflife. THEY PURIFY THE BLOOD. {demising tho vital fluid of all hurtful impuri ties and supplying them with tho elements oC genuine healthiulness. In a word, there is scarcely a disease in which they cannot be solely and beneficially employed ; hut In that most generally incvulent.dlstresslngaml dread ed disease, Dyspepsia. THEY STAND UNRIVALED. Now, there are certain classes of persons to v b.t m extreme liters are not oniy unpalata ble, but who llud it lui possible to lake them wit hunt positive discomfort. „ For such ,Dll', HOOFLAND'fiJ GEHMaN TONIC has been specially prepared. It Is Intended for use where a slight alchohol stimulant Is requir ed in connection with the well-known Tonic Qunlc contains all IT/o’ hig re tiV o?i Ys of tnelht/erVl but so flavored ns to remove the extreme biller- ness. This prepaiallon is not only palatable, but combines,’ln modified form; all the virtues of Hie German Bitters. The solid extracts of some of Katmo’s choicest restoratives are held in solution by a spirituous .agent ol the purest quality. In cases ofluuguor or excessive debil ity, whore tho system appears to. have become exhausted of its eneuglea,- HOOFIiANU’S TONIC ads with almost marvelous effect. It not only .stimulates the Hugging and wasting energies, but. invigorates ami porrmuletly strengthens ils action upon tho Liver and Stomach thorough* perhaps less prompt than the Bitters, Svhen tho sumo quantity' is taken is none the less certain.

It gives the invalid a new and stronger hold upon life, removes depression of spirits, and iu splies cheorfuldcss. It supplants the pain of disease with the ease and' comfort of perfect health* -Itglves strength to weakness, throws despondency to the winds, and-starts the re sided Invalid upon a new and gladsome career. But Dr. iloolland's benefactions to tho human race arc not confined to Ills*celebrated GERMAN BITTERS, or his Invaluable Tonic. Ho has-prepared an other medicine, wolch is rapidly winning Us way lo popular favor because of its intrinsic merits. Tills is HUUFLAND’S rODOPIIYLLIN PILLS, a perfect substitute for mercury, without any of meicuvy’s evil qualities. These wonderful Pills, which are intended to act upon the Liver, are mainly composed of Podophyllin, or the VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE MANDRAKE ROOT. ow wo desire the reader to distinctly under nd that, this extract of the Mandrake is many ics more powerful than tho Mandrake itself, s the medicinal virtues of this- health-giving plant In a perfectly pure and highly concentra ted form. Hence it Is that two of the PodophyK, liu Pills constitute a full dose, while anywhere six lo eight or a handful of other preparations of. Ihe Mandrake are required. The PhodophyK llnf ACTS DIRECTLY ON THE LIVER, stimulating Ils functions and causing it to make Its biliary secretions In regular and proper quantities*. Tho injurious results which invari ably follow the us 6 ’.of. mercury Is entirely avoided by their use. ‘ But it is not upon Hie Liver only Unit their powers arc exerted. Tho extract-of Mamlrakocontalned In them is skill fully combined with four oilier extracts, one of which acts upon the stomach, one upon the up per bowels, one upon tne lower bowels, and one prevents any griping etfcct, thus producing a pill ihut inllences the digestive and alimentary sys tem, ir.an equal ami harmonious manner, and Its action entirely free from nausea, vomiting or grilling pains common to all other purgatives. 'Possessing these much desirable qualities, tho Podophyllin becomes invaluable us a - FAMILY MEDICINE. • No household should bo without them. They arc perfectly safe, require hut two for an ordina ry dose, are prompt and efllctent in action, ami when used in connection with Dr. iloolland’s German Bitters, or Tonic, may be regarded ns cei lulu specifics in all cases of Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, or any of the disorders to which the system is ordinarily.subjec.

About two years after the Texan revo lution, a difficulty occurred between the new government and a portion of the people, which threatened the most se rious consequences—even the blnod-shAd' and horrors of a civil war. Briefly, the cause was thus: Tire constitution, bad fixed the city of Austin as the permanent capital,, where the public archives were to he kept, with the reservation, howev er, of a power in the President to order their temporary removal in case of dan ger from the inroad of a foreign enemy, or fears of a sudden insurrection. Conceiving that the excepted emer gency had arrived, as the, Caraanohes frequently committed outrages within sight of the oapitol itself. Houston, who then resided at Washington, on the Brazos, dispaiched an order command ing ids subordinate functionaries to send tile State Records to ■ the latter place which lie declared to he, pro temporal the.seat of government. It is impossible to describe the stormy excitement which the promulgation of this fiat raised in Austin. ?The keepers of hotels, boarding houses, groceries and c“f to‘froll?.y ”Yfil l tliy r id.e.t3‘r>iCk 1 deathblow to their prosper Ity In busi ness, and accordingly they determined at once to take the necessary steps to avert tlie danger, by opposing the execution of Houston’s mandate. They called a meet ing of the citizens and farmers of the circumjacent country, who were all more or less interea r ed iu the question ; and after many firey speeches against the as serted tyranny of the administration, it was unanimously resolved-to prevent the removal of the archives by open and armed resistance. To that end they or ganized a company of Tour hundred men, one party of whom, relieving the other at regular periods of duty, should keep constand guard around the State House until the period passed by. The com mander of this force was one Colonel Morton, who had achieved considerable renown in the war for independence, dud who had still more recently displayed desparate bravery iu two desperate duelsj iu both of which he had cut his antago nist nearly to pieces witli the bowie Knife. Indeed, from the notoriety of his character,for revenge, or courage, it was thought that President Houston would' renounce his purpose touching the ar chives, so soon us he should learn , who was the leader of the opposition. Morion, on hlspart, whose vanity ful ly equalled Ills personal prowess encour aged and justified the prevailing opinion by his boastful threats. He swore that if the President did succeed in removing the records by the march of an overpow ering force, be would then himself hunt him down like a wolf, and sbooot him with little ceremony, or stab him in bis bed, or waylay him in his walks for recreation. He even wrote the hero of San Jacinto’to that effect. The latter replied iu a note of laconic brevity.; “If the people of Austin do not send the archives, I shall certainly come and take them ; and if Colonel Morton can kill me, he is welcome to my ear-cap.”' On the reception of this answer, the guard was doubled around the State House. Chosen sentinels were stationed along the road leading to the capital, the military paraded the streets from morn ing till night, and select caucuses held permanent session, in the city hall. In abort, everything betokened a coming tempest. One (lay, when matters were in this precarious condition, tbo caucus at tlie city hall was surprised by Ibe sudden ap pearance of a stranger, whose mode of entering was as extraordinary as bis looks and dress. He did not knock at the closed door—he did not seek admis sion at all; but climbing unseen a small bushytopped live'oak, which grew be side the wall, leaped without sound or warning through a lofty window. He was clothed altogether in buckskin, car ried a Jong and very heavy rifle in his baud, wore at the bottom of bis left sus pender a large bowie-knife, and bad in his leather belt a couple of pistols half the length of hla' gun. He was tall, straight ns an arrow, active as a panther in ids motions, with darkened complex ion and luxuriant jetty hair, with a se vere, iron-like countenance, that seemed never to have known a smile, and eyes ot intense vivid black, wild and rolling, as the point of of a dagger. HiSotrange advent inspired a thrill of involuntary fear, and many present un consciously grasped the handies of their side-arms. i ETISII HEMPT. Administrator, ‘•Who are you that thus presumes to intrude among gentlemen, without invi tation ?” demanded Colonel Morton, fe rociously essaying to cow down the stranger with his eye. The latter returned his stare with compound interest, and . laid his lomr. bony finger on his lip, as a sign—but of what, the spectatois could • not imagine. ‘Who are you? Speak I or I will cut an answer out of your heart, 1 shouted Morton, almost distracted with rage by the cool, sneering gaze of the other, who now removed his finger from bis lip and laid it on the hilt of his monstrous knife.

The flroy Colonel then drew hla dag ger, and was in the act of advancing up on the stranger, when several caught him and held him back, remonstrating. ‘Let him alone, Morton, for God’s sake.

Tho stranger obeyed, and Morton wrote : ‘You were brave enough to insult me by your threatening look ten minutes ago ; are you brave enough now to give me. satisfaction ?’ The stranger penned his reply : * I am at your service.’ Morton wrote again ‘ Who will bo your second ?’ The stranger rejoined : * I am too gen erous to seek an advantage ; and too brave to fear any on the part of other* ; and therefore I never need tho aid of a second?’ Morton penned : ‘Name your terms.* The stranger traced, without a mo ment’s hesitation : ‘Time, sunset this evening ; place, the left bank of the Col orado, opposite Austin ; weapons, rifles, and distance, a hundred yards. Do not fail to be in time!’ He then took three steps across the floor, arid disappeared through the win dow as he had entered. ‘ What!’ exclaimed Judge Webb, is it possible Colonel Morton that you intend to fight that man ? He is mute, if not a positive maniac r Such a meeting I fear, will sadly tarnish the lustre of your laurels. ■ * ‘ You are mistaken,’ replied Morton with a smile; ‘That mute is a hero, whose fame stands in the record of a dozen of battles, and half as many bloody duels. Besides he is a favorite emissary and bosom friend of Houston. If I have the good fortune to kill him, I think it will, tempt the President to retract his vow against venturing any more on the field of honor. ‘You know the man then. Who is ho? Who is he?’ asked twenty voices togeth er. ‘Deaf Smith,’ answered Morton, coolly. * Why, no ; that cannot be. Deaf Smith was slain at San Jacinto, 1 re marked Judge Webb. ‘There again, your honor is mistaken, 1 said Morton. ‘The story of Smith’s death was a mere fiction, got up by Houston, to save the life of his favorite from sworn vengence of certain Texans, on whose conduct he had acted as a spy. I fathomed the artifice twelve . months since. *lf what you say be true, you are a madman yourself!’ exclaimed Webb. ‘Deaf Smith was never known to miss his mark. He has often brought down ravens in their most rapid flight, rud killed Coraanchea and Mexicans at a I distance of two hundred and fifty yards!’ I ‘ Say no more,’ answered Col. Morton, intones of deep determination; ‘the thing is already settled. I have already agreed to meet him*. Tberg can be no disgrace in falling before such a shot, and if X succeed, my triumph Will confer the greater glory!’ Such was the genera! habit of thought and feeling prevalent throughout Texas Towards evening a vast crowd assem bled at the place-appointed to witness the hostile meeting, and so great was the popular recklessness us to affairs of the sort, that numerous and considerable sums were wagered on the result. At length the red orb of the summer sun touched the curved rim of the 1 western horizon, covering it all with crimson ami' gold, and filling the air with a flood of burning glory; and then the two mortal antagonists, armed with long, ponderous rifles, took their station, back to back, and at a preconcerted signal—the waving of a white handkerchief—walked slo.wly. and steadily of! In opposite directions, counting their steps until each had meas ured fifty. They both completed the ; given number' about the same instant, j and then they wheeled, each to aim and fire when he chose. As the distance was great, both paused for some seconds— long enough for the beholders to flash their eyes from oueio the other and mark the striking contrast betwixt them. The face ofXlulonel. Morton was calm ami smiling, but the smile it bore had a most murderous-meaning, On the contrary, the countenance of Deaf Smith was stern arid passionless as ever. ’A side view of liis features might have been mistaken for a profile done iu cast Iron. This one, ■ too, was dressed in the richest cloth, and the other iu smoke-tinted leather. But that made no difference, in Texas then ! for those ofheroic courage wereallconsid ered peers,’the class ofiuferiors embraced none but cowards. Presently tho two rifles exploded with simultaneous roars. Coi. Morton gave a prodigious bound upwards, and dropped to the .earth a corpse. Deaf Smith stood erect, and immediately began to reload bis rifle; and then having finished his task,-he hastened away into the adjacent forest. Three days afterwards General Hous ton, accompanied by DeafSmitb and ten more men, appeared in Austin, and with out further opposition removed the State papers. The history of the.hero of the foregoing anecdote was one Qf the most extraor dinary ever known in the West. Ho made his advent in Texas at an early period, and continued to reside there un til liis death, which'happened some few years ngo ; hut although he had many warm personal friends, no one could ever ascertain either the laud of his birth, or a single gleam of his previous biography. When he was questioned on the subject, he laid his Auger on his lips; and if pressed more urgently his brow writhed and his dark eyesseemed to shoot sparks of livid fire. He could, write with aston ishing correctness and facility, consider ing his situation ; and although denied the exquisite pleasure and priceless ad vantage of the sense of hearing, nature had given him ample compensation, by an eye quick and far seeing as an eagle’s and a smell keen and Incredible as thatof a raven. He could discover ob jects moving miles away in the far-off prairie, when others could perceive nothing but earth and sky; and the rangers used to declare that he could catch the scent of a Mexican or Indian at as great a distance as a buzzard could distinguish the odor of a dead carcass. It was these qualities which fitted him so well for a spy, in which capacity he rendered invaluable service to Houston’s army during the late war of Independ ence. He always went alone, and gener ally obtained tbo information desired. His habits in private life were equally singular. He could never be persuaded to sleep under the roof of a house, or even to close a tent cloth. Wrapped in his blanket, he loved to Ho under the blue canopy of pure ether, and count the stars, or gaze with a.yearning look at the melancholy moon. When not employed as a spy or guide, he subsisted by hunt ing, being often absent on solitary ex curwions for weeks or oven months together in Ibe wilderness. He was a genuine son of nature, a grown-up child of the woods and parade, which be wo» shipped with u sort of Pagan adora tion. Kxeluded by hla infirmities from cordial fellowship with his kind, he made the iuuuiuiate things of earth bis friends, and entered by the hearts own adoption into brotherhood with the luminaries of heavHjj. Wherever there was land op water, barren mountains or tangled brukers of wild waving cane, there was Deaf Smith’s home, and there he was happy ; but in the streets of great cities, in all the great thoroughfares of men, wherever there was flattery or fawning, base cunning or craven fear, the>e was Deaf Smith an exile. Strange soul ! he hath departed on tbo long Journey, away among those high bright stars which were his night lamps; and he has either solved or ceased to ponder the deep mystery of the word, ‘life.’ Ho is dead ; therefore let his er rors rest in oblivion, and his virtues be remembered with hope. HOW TWO IMMORTALS MET. In Prague there was to he another of those which the capital of Bohemia was noted during the lastoen " tnryrand from'every directiort'journeyed thither artists and laymen, either to par ticipate in the exercise or to listen. * Already, on the doy before the fete % the inns— large and small—of thp city proper were overfilled, and the landlords, most desirous as they were to profit by the occasion, could do no other than turn away the latest arrivals. Many were, therefore, compelled to' seek lodgings in the taverns of the sub urbs, which were usually patronized by people of the lower orders. A young man—a “pianist,” said bis passport—from Vienna, had, like many others, sought lodgings in all the hotels of the city without success, and finally decided to*go to an inn In one of the.sub urbs t «wbere he was told he would most probably find very comfortable quarters and very good fore. The youth was received by a landlord of a very surly mien, who, after measur ing him from head to foot wlfli den glance, replied, that he could not accommodate him—‘be was full.* But there was a pretty young serving girl within hearing, who did not sepm to bo at all afraid of the cross-gained old landlord, and ventured to dlffet from hfm. . ‘.Yes, we can accommodate the young gentleman, too,’ said she. ‘There will be’ no one in the wine room this evening fe everybody will bo in the city. It's very easy to make up a bed for. the gentleman* there. 7 ‘Do so, 7 for all I care, 7 muttered the o|d; landlord, and turned away. , ; The young pianist decided to remain., ns the girl assured him that she would see he was made comfortable, and that the landlord was not half as much of a bear ns be seemed. Tho girl now hastened'to prepare the evenin'/ meal, and the young musician in the meantime repaired to the large room that was destined to be his bedroom for the night. -As the usual evening guests were, not expected, the room had not been lighted ; but the moon shone through the vine-bordered windows so as to enable the youth to see his way, al though Indistinctly. In one corner he discovered a sofa, on which he, threw himselft in order to rest his.weary limbs while waitingsupper. He had been there but n few moments, when the door was; opened and n man entered, who walked to the farther and darker end of the room with o certainty of step that showed he was not.n stranger to the apartment. A moment afterward the youth heard the tones of a piano—at first only a few accords, and then a melody, that might have been likened to a choir of angels. The youth partly rose from tho sofa, and listened as one who would catch the .faintest sound. How radiant was every feature of his face with estatic delight I This improvisation—this heavenly ira provistation—it seemed to transport him to a higher sphere! There was but one —only one—who could produce so much harmony, and to see and hear him was object of the youth's journey, ward TfTe plaho: 'rh6 loiifek'fcrew-smtGi and softer, until they finally died away. . The finale was divinely beautiful, and held theydufhful enthusiast spell bound, until the maestro himself roused him from his reverie. The latter, when he had finished playing, rose, went toward the sofa, and threw himself on it, ap parently fatigued. As the light of the moon fell on his face, the youth saw he bad'before him an elderly man; of a pe- cullarly. noble ami benevolent mein. Seeing that he had not as yet, been ob served,an idea suddenly occurred to him, and be seated himself noiselessly at the piano. Again the instrument was made to utter ifs swee.test tones, and the man on the sofa listened In profound admiration. He saw no one, but he heard, and what he heard was sufficient to rivet his entire attention. How pure the: tones came from this master's hand I That It was a master’s hand, the listener on the sofa quickly discovered. The joys of d youthful heart.seemed to fiud utterance in the.first accords of tho young musician. Then, gradually the tones became deeper ; the passions and trials of a large, struggling nature spoke in. the full and powerful accords,, until they became the cry of hitter despair. What music it was ! The older musi- cian clasped his hands across his breast, and listened with his whole soul. He knew of but one composer who was capable of producing such rauaic. ami it was mainly in the hope.of meeting him that he had come to the fete. He was confident that the virtuoso before him must be he, and he only. Finally, he arose, and without noise approached the piano, until he stood be hind the performer, who was so absorbed that he. neither saw nor beard him. At last, be too, ceased playing. He struck the last accord, and sank back At that moment a band was exhausted. laid geutly on hie shoulder, while another took him by the arm ami led him toward tho window, where the light of the moon could fall upon his face. An elderly.man, his eyes beaming with delight, gazed at him a moment, and then cried, in a toue : ;hut betrayed deep emotion ‘Mozart V. . ■ ‘Haydn,’ responded the young man, in an accent no less joyous ’ • Thus met for the first time, these two immortal composers, whose wish, had long been to know each oiher. Forty Ykarb Ago.— lforty years ago literature meant learning), and was sup ported by common sense. Refined non sense had no advocates, and was pretty generally kicked out of doors. Forty years ago young ladies of the first respectability learned music—but it was the music of the spiuu ng wheel, and learned the necessary seep i of dancing in following It. Their pim o forte was a loom, their novels a Bible Forty years ago the yot ng gentlemen hoed corn, chopped wood at the door, and went to school in the winter to learn reading; writing and arithmetic. Forty years ago there | was no such things as balls in the summer, and few in the winter, except snowi balls. Forty years ago, if a mechanic propos ed to do you work, you mifeht depend on his word; it w#uld bo done. Fdrty years ago, wheq a mechanic finished his work, he was paid for it. Forty yeare ago printers were paid, and were therefore enabled to pay their debts. What a falling ofr! It Is not often that the mean and un scrupulous persons who attempt to break the will of a deceased mau jof wealth be cause their mercenary desires fail to be satisfied, are caught in njtrapof their own setting. Recently, however, in the town of Proviucetowu, Mass., two such fellows seem to have come to that sort of well deserved grief. One John Nickerson died there, and left a large festato in sums of $lO,OOO to his relatives. [Two of them, dissatisfied.with their proportion, set dil igently to work, and, by dii)t of spending a good deal of time and moqey, succeeded in getting a perpetual Injunction against the distribution to be made by the exe cutors. They then learned,! to their utter amazement and wrath, thkt the.estate had been divided according to tho will, among all thp legatees, except them selves. Thus are they hoisted by their own petard.

Jfm Is a good-natured, shrewd sort of a fellow, sbme what addicted to do? log business now and then on the Jere my Dlddler style, as the following Ingf dent will testify. Living near the resi dence of tho Hon. Morrow B. Lowry, ho was frequently employed by the latter to do odd jobs around the house and in (be garden. One day Mrs. Lowry concluded that tho peccadillos of a worthlesa anj venerable tom-dat/iong an attache ofthe family, were such as demanded-the in fliction of capital punishment, and Jluj was’.calfed upon tq play the part of exe gut i pnei\ After a long chase the victim which an old shawl was'securely fastens ed. Tho nfext question wasliqw to diff* pose of the prisoner. Mrs, L. suggested drowning; but Jim, with tears In bis*, eyes, protested that ho could.Ho more drown ‘that ere cat' than ko Could ‘drownd hlsself;’ that were hd*to do so, - his conscience,acting on a naturally ten der heart, would trouble him so much at nights that he was sure that ho never' could sleep a wink thereafter. Not wishr ing to ruin Jim's peace of mind, Mrs. L. compromised the matter by giving him a dollar and telling ’him to take the cat and dispose of it in any way he pleased, so thutsheshould nevorseeltagaiu. Put* , ting tho dollar iu his pocket and the bas ket on his arm, Jim started down town. He had not got out of sight of the house when he mot Morrow walking leisurely toward his homo, and the following col . loquy ensued : Helio, Jim, what have you got there?', ‘One ob de celebrated Kooky.. Mountain cats, sah,’ replied Jim. • *A Rocky Mountain cat?

Hey are gwine to gib me fouh dollars for him ’at the Reed House, sab.’ ‘Weil,' said Morrow—recollecting the* •general cussedness of tho family cat— ‘Jim, wo want a good cat up home, and I guess I’ll take this fellow; but don’t’ you think four dollars is mighty steep for a cat?' ‘All de res sold for five dollars,.sab, answered Jim. ’ «• ‘ . This decided Morrow, bo he paid Jim the price asked, nud told him to carry the ‘Rocky Mountain cat’ up to Mrs. Lowry. Jim, however, bad very important busi ness elsewhere, aud* begced Morrow to take the basket himself, which the latter good naturedly consented todo. Arriving at home he took his prize into the sitting room, carefully closed the doors, slightly lifted the basket and covering, and smil ing benevolently at Mrs. L.’a apparent astonishment, remorked: ‘My dear, I’ve brought you a Rocky Mountain cat—the best mouaer. At this moment the cat jumped outbf the baskttand commenced nibbing himself against his master’s legs. Morrow stopped short, while his wife broke in impatiently : ‘La me, Morrow I Why that’s the same old cat I give, Jim Stewart a dollar to drown, not more than ten minutes ago.’ What followed we know not, but a few minutes later the Hon. Morrow B. Low- ry might have been noticed on the streets of Erie, armed with a heavy waikiug stlck, and wondering “why a man can never find that d—d nigger, when he wants to see him badly.” Behind the Vell.-II is not always the practice of pretty ladies to wear a veil.

Playing Policy in China..— Very few Americans have probably any con-, ceptiou of the dimensions attained by fraudulent Chinese lotteries; and but still fewer know anything about the nature of the lottery. Their play is us follows: There is a list of 30 animals, including birds, beasts', iishes, reptiles and insects, which appear to be ln use without much variation at all the lotteries of this des cription. Pictorial cards of these animals may be obtained by those who desire to be possessed of such a guide to their ope*, rations. The party who wishes to invest in the lottery stakes his money on any one of these animals he may please, the proprietors of the lottery having In’ the meantime placed a paper bearing the name or picture of oneof them—which is of course a secret—ln a box, which is then locked up and suspended in a con spicuous place on the premises. At a certain hour the box is opened and the name of the animal declared, nud those who have been lucky enough to stake money on it receive thirty fold, the other stakes going to the house, the proportion of the profit reserved by the owner being about sixteen per cent. In most cases the box is opened in an inner room, instead of in the presence of the player, when often the owner will produce the animal upon which the smallest amount has been staked ; while, even if the box is opened in the presence of the players, the Chinese are very expert in tue man ufacture and handling of boxes with false bottoms. After.locking up the paper, the owner of the.lottery prctomi.s to give the public a hint as to hts selection, In a sen tence which, like those of the oracles of old, is always enigmatical, and which Is not unseldom grossly indelicate. AN Extinct Family.— lt is a singular fact that there are no known.descendants of Christopher Columbus- He had two sons', one of whom, Don Diego, rose to the distinction of an Admiral, and the other.

He appears to have been a profound scholar and a thoroughly good man. In his will he stipulated that his library, containing twenty thousand vol umes, which he gave to the cathedral of Seville, shauid be free to the people, and it is free to this day. From books in this collection, the late Washington trying obtained a considerable portion of the Information on which his “Dlfeof Co lumbus” was founded. The following quaint epitaph, almost obi iterated by the hand of time,appears on the tablet which marks the site of his tomb: 11 What doth It profit to have sprinkled the wholb world with my sweat; to have three times crossed to the New World discovered by my father; to have embellished the fair shores of the tranquil Gaudalqulvor, and preferred my simple tastes rather than riches, or that I have assembled around the divinities from the sources of Catalia, and offer to thee the riches gathered by Ptolemy, if passing in silence over this stone thou should’stfail to address a sin gle salutation to my father’s memory" The young men at tho watering places have discarded white vests.
