Queer People.
" It takes all orta of people to maka a
world," says the old adage, and truly
there are a (treat many varieties of queer
men and women and queer societies and
queer communities scattered all over" the
earth, when one takes the trouble to look
them up, as curious Investigators do now
and then. It is said that Dickens knew
an original for every one of his characters,
and that he copied them pretty closely
too in his delineations. If this be true,
lie must have known some very rare oddi
ties Indeed. We haveYio difficulty In reali
zing the possibility of a Dick Swiveller or
a Salrey Gamp, but Mr. Quiln seems al
most out of the question. Mr. Vholes
has many duplicates, and so has Mr. Spen
low, of the firm of Spenlow & .Torkins ;
but Dora and Mr. Crook and Mr. Dick
and Miss Flito these and a score of others
seem so unlike the common run of neonle.
that we find It hard to believe them por
traitures from life. And yet almost every
body meets now and then with people
quite ss oddlv made ud as anv of these.
Mr. Hepworth Dixon found more than a
dozen sects in Russia, whose hundreds of
memocrs were risking both liberty and
life for the sake of the most utterly absurd
faiths imaginable. Similar bodies exist in
other lands. There is within a day's jour
ney of London a place known as the
Agapcmone, or Abode of Love, in which
dwell a number of people who Believe
that their leadera man named Prince
died some years ago and again became
alive: that he Is now Incapable of sinning,
and finally that he is the Almighty him
self, as he claims to be. And this Abode
of Love is not an, Insane asylum either.
We have In our country the Shakers on
the one hand and the Oneida Communists
on the other, while some parts of the West
and South have sects far- queerer of doc
trine than either of these. We can readily
understand how one "cranky" man or
woman can take up the odd notions on
which these curious sects are based, but
that scores of others should follow such
leaders seems a marvel.
Our purpose, however, is to speak ol
singular Individuals rather than ol singu
lar sects or communities, and almost ev
ery neighborhood furnishes at least one
Oddity. We remember one old man with
a mania for litigation, whose favorite
amusement was suing his sons and daugh
ters on all imaginable pretexts. Once in
a suit, no matter how small the amount
at issue might be, lie would spare neither
money nor time to push the litigation just
as far as the law would let it go, and that
too in spite of the fact that in all other
matters he was as penurious as a miser.
We knew another man once who, in riding
on horseback, would always sit with hS
back toward the animal's head, because
he believed it a sin for any body to sit
otherwise on horseback since liaalam's
time. Another, a neighbor of this one,
would always go out without his hat as
soon as a rain began, and would walk
thus for hours over his farm, returning
only when the rain ceased or night set in.
Another would not allow on his table
sweet pickles or any salad-dressing in
which vinegar and sugar were mixed,
even though he was abundantly supplied
with pickles or dressing to his taste.
In the same neighborhood lived
(anu stiu iives, we believe) a
irentlcman who has belonged to seven dif
ferent churches, and wjiose oddities of
other kinds are innumerable. For many
years he thought walking the only proper
mode of locomotion, and so he walked
everywhere, even to the city, forty miles
away. Suddenly he became convinced
that walking was not the proper thing,
and ceased to walk altogether outside the
house.
Somewhat less strange than these was
the case of a gentleman of high culture
and courtly manners, who would never,
on any account, bid any one adieu, even
when the separation was to last but a day.
lie would lay deliberate plans to avoid
th'H without seeming guilty ot discourtesy,
and rarely ever failed to accomplish his
purpose. ISut in any event he positively
would not say good-bye ; and if he could
not evade it by taking French leave or in
any other way, he would abruptly turn
his back upon his friends and leavo with
out a word. He went to Kurope once for
a journey of many months, and gave no
notice whatever of his intention to go,
even to his own family, lie lelt the house
without baggage, apparently for a tcn
niinutes' walk, and sent back a note by a
servant, saying that he would wait in New
York for his trunks to arrive by express.
A good many peculiarities, of which we
are too apt to make sport, are the result
of nervous disease. Several cases of the
kind have come within our own know
ledge. One of them was that of a young
man who would be seized with an irresist
ible impulse to touch, with hand or foot,
some otyect within sight. He would rise
from his desk, when writing, and cross
the ollice to touch a particular spot on
the wall or the leg of a particular chair.
When walking along the street he would
feci bound to touch a post here and a tree
there, 60 that his progress was often seri
ously impeded by the nervous necessity.
Sometimes the impulse would seize him
after he had passed the object, and he
would bo compelled to return to it. His
lirst meeting with the lady who after
wards became his wife was at a party
where, seeing her, a stranger, on the op
posite side ot the room, he was suddenly
impelled to cross the lloor for the purpose
of laying his linger on her nose, a pro
ceeding which a Iriend of both had to ex
plain and apologize for in an interview
with the lady next day. The explanation
led to an acquaintance which ripened into
a friendship anu ended in a marriage. But
it any novelist had told this lite-story in a
book, who wouldn't have thought it an
utterly Improbable one? Hearth and

An Intelligent Tourist.
Ix 18G9, a French pianist, proprietor of
tne roiisn name ivo waisxi, made a concert
tour through the United States. We have
his word for it. Personal knowledge of
tne tact, even lroni hearsay, have we none.
Returned home, he experiences the ne
cessity of writing out and publishing his
impressions of travel. Many of the im
pressions are amusing, and much of the
miormation ne imparts to his countrymen
is startling. Thus :
" In every other country men make love
to young women, but in presence of the
parents, wno closely watch their Inter
views. In America there Is no surveil-
lance, the young girl makes free use of her
liberty, and accepts the attentions of the
young man, who from this moment is
her lower. This is called tfirten, from
fiurty, an English word signifying to make
love," etc. Then his readers are enlight
ened as to the Eichardson-McFarland
affair. "The trial opened, and Mr. Horace
Greeley, a distinguished lawyer and the
eaiter 01 tne Tribune, appeared as counsel
for Mrs. Richardson." We will not shock
our readers by a reproduction of the sar-
prising psychological argument of the
lawyer In question. One "Tweed," we
learn, " was comptroller of the finances
of the State of New York, and for many
years concealed in his books a deficit of a
hundred millions of dollars." At Albany
our autnor talis a victim to an unlettered
hotel-keeper, who persuades him that it is
the oldest city in the United States. This,
however, is not difflcuit to believe af
ter the statement that vessels of fif
teen hundred tons burden ascend the
Hudson river a distance of one hundred
and .fifty leagues. Forewarned, fore
armed ; so that if we wake up some fine
morning and find ourselves bound hand
and foot by our German fellow-citizens,
Mr. KowaUkl will be justified In saying,
"I told you so." He warns us that in
America "the naturalized German in no
way accepts the usages of his new coun

A Flying Hoax.
Recently a number of boys were dis
tributing a neat-looking circular in the
upper part of the city above Fourteenth
street. In the Fifth Avenue hotel and in
front of the other hotels In that neighbor
hood many well-dressed persons stood
reading the circulars, all evidently much
Interested. The circular, which is printed
on a half sheet of French note, Is as
follows :
THE ART OF FLYING.
Prof. Cantcll A. Blglle, Scientific School of
Wisconsin I nlverslty, has the honor to inform
the pulmc that he will gt
completed apparatus for navlaratlnl the air on
Wednesday aftcraoon, the 9th of April, at 3
o'clock precisely, in the Ticinily of Trinity
Church. The Professor proposes to fly from
house to house, across Ilroadway, at angles;
then from Trinity to Howling (irvon, and return
and will ascend as high as Trinity steeple, and
hover a few moments in that vicinity. An op
portunity will be given after the exhibition to
examine me apparuius. '1 he public are respect-
limy inviicu.
A Sun reporter learned that these circu
lars had been extensively distributed
among the bankers, brokers, and mer
chants down town. As early as half past
2 large crowds who had read this aston
ishing announcement negan to ascmoie
in tie neighborhood of Trinity Church,
the crowd extending from Liberty street
as far down as Howling Green. The side
walks were lined with men, women, and
children, all intently gazing heavenward,
and it tried the best efforts of the police of
the Broadway squad to.keep a passage-way
clear on the sidewalks."
Many staid old gentlemen stood on the
high steps of the offices nearly opposite
old Trinity, and frequently consulted their
watches with evident anxiety, and then
turned their eyes toward the cross on
Trinity Church spire. Many a gontle
man quit his business earlier than usual,
and, wandering up Wall street, to Broad
way, turned his eyes upward, and point
ing to a lofty roof'informed the friend with
him that the Professor would probably
soon make a start from that point.
As the appointed hour was announced
by Trinity's bells numerous groups stood
on the house tops, awaiting the Professor's
flight. Many faces were recognized In the
street as being those who at that hour are
usually promenading upper Broadway. It
was astonishing how inanv had deserted
their favorite tramping ground. A throng
of men on the roof of the building on the
southwest corner of Broadway and Rector
street attracted much attention from the
immense multitude that had gathered in
front of that building. One old gentleman.
a director of one of the down town insur
ance companies, thought he saw a piece of
canvas fluttering in the breeze, and told
the bystanders that the Professor was
about to start. The multitude began to
surge to aud fro to get a nearer view,
Just then a newsboy shouted, "Say, old
fellow ! I guess you be near sighted ; that
nr is a white apron," and it subsequently
proved to be one of Delmonico's French
cooks in full uniform on the roof.
Two men were standing at the corner
of Wall street. One said to the other,
"Bob you are a pretty follow to bring me
down from Fordliatn'to see this sell.''
"Well, I came cs far as you did," replied
the other man.
About this time Officer Robert J. Wal
lace of the Broadway squad called the at
tention of those near him to the second
line on the circular, and then read it as
follows : Prof. Can-tell-A-Big-lie. Every
body in that multitude soon had business
elsewhere. J. r. Sun. .
The Rise of the Sap in Plants.
It is unfortunate that much of the
science of plant life is derived from Eng
lish works; and instead of being science.
that is, well ascertained facts, it is but
mere guess-work. 1 he following, which
.ve find in a contemporary, illustrates what
we mean :
The rise of salt hns hcen supposed to be the
cuuee of the expansion of leuves und branches;
whereas, according to the most esteemed veg
etable physiologists, the moment the buds are
excited by the warmth of spring, ' 'they begin to
suck sai from the parts with which they are in
contact; to supply the waste so produced, the
adjacent sap pushes upward; as the expansion of
me leaves proceeus, me uemanu upon the sap
nearer them becomes greater; a quicker motion
still is necessary on the part of the sap to make
good the loss: mid thus from above downward. Is
that perceptible How of the tluids of trees, which
we call bleeding, effected."
In proof of this it has been stated that a tree
cut at the ground line wheu the buds are just
swelling, no bleeding will occur from hinip
or body some distance up but among the
branches the bleeding will be l'ouud to have
commenced.
The fact does not seem to be known to
English writers that the roots of trees are
growing and working all winter, even
when the earth is frozen about them
gradually storing up sap in the cells and
that the swelling of the buds in spring
lias nothing to do with it. It is clear that
those who got up this so-called science
have never lived in the sugar-making dis
tricts of Maine and other places where the
sugar maple trees abound. They would
then know that the trunks are rilled with
sap weeks before there is any sign of the
unfolding of the leaf. These English
scientists are perhaps excusable, as they
are far away from facts like these; the
remarkable thing is that intelligent Amer
ican newspapers should. give currency to
statements such as those in tne extract.
Any sharp American boy would know

Management of Hens.
The Prairie Farmer Is responsible for
the following principles ot chickenry :
1. Never set a hen in a box above the
ground or lloor of the chicken-house, if
possible, as the eggs dry too fast and lose
their vitality, it possiDie to set hens on
the ground you will have much better
success.
2. Never set more than fifteen eggs, no
matter how large the hen. Some set only
ten or twelve, but under ordinary fowls
thirteen or fourteen will hatch as readily
as a less number, though more are a
waste.
3. Always be careful to mark the eggs
set with the date of setting, as other hens
often lay on the same nest with a setting
hen, and when the brood is ready to come
off, extra unhatched eggs are left in the
nest which you cannot account for, and
do not know how to dispose of except by
waste, not knowing when they were laid.
4. Keep a memoranda of all hens set,
with dates when they should come off,
that you may have coops and proper food
prepared for them. Also take the young
chicks from the hen as they dry, because
sometimes they may run over their time
a little, or hatcn earlier.
5. Better let hens come off their nests
for a short time for food and water than
to confine them to feed on the nest.
Two boards nailed together at one end,
with slats of lath across in the form of an
A, make an excellent coop.
A rich old fellow who owns more
houses than any one man In Toledo, Ohio,
was waited upon by a committee for a
subscription to rebuild the fence about the
cemetery. His reply was characteristic
as well as humorous : "Gentlemen, J
have always made it a rale in my business
never to make any repairs until the ten
ants began to complain."
"You are the dullest boy I ever saw."
crossly exclaimed a bald-headed old uncle
to his nephew. "Well, uncle," replied
the youih, with a glance at the old gentle
man's bald head, "you can't expect me
to understand things as quickly as vou
do, because you don't have the trouble of
getting 'em through your hair."

This irreatest of unclean birds has been
singularly unfortunate in the hand of the
curious and scientific. Fifty years have
elapsed since the first specimen reached
Europe : yet to-day the exaggerated sto
ries of its size and strength are repeated
in many or our text-books, ana mo very
latest ornithological work leaves us In
doubt as to its relation to the other vul
tures. ' No one credits the assertion of the
old geographer, Marco Polo, that the con-

story of a traveler, so late as 1830, who
declared that a condor of moderate size.

paces long I Yet the statement continues
to be published that the ordinary expanse
of a full-grown specimen Is from twelve
to twenty feet, wlisreas It Is very doubt
ful If It ever exceeds or even equals twelve
feet. A full-grown male from the most
celebrated locality on the Andes, now in
v assar College, has a stretcn oi nine leet.
Humboldt never found one to measure
over nine feet ; and the largest specimen
seen by Darwin was eight and a half feet
from tip to tip. An old male in the Zoo
logical Gardens of London measures
eleven feet. Von Tschudi savs ho found
one with a spread of fourteen feet two

by the subsequent statement that the full

frequently descend to the coast, where
they may be seen roosting on trees. On

their nests are, and where cattle are

open and its tail spread. To rise from

four times, and ascends at a low angle till

In walking, the wings trail upon the
ground, and the head takes a crouching

bird, it breathes the purest air, spending
much of its time soaring three miles above

The Adventures of a Horse.

mare was lirst called Bluette. and be
longed to a dealer named Parcelier. She
was of noble race, and had gained prizes at
agricultural snows, when runs was in
vested, and meat became scarce, she was
requisitioned, and was destined lor tne
slaughter house. Fortunately, M. De-
Dyanne. an officer of the National Guiird,
remarked her, and saved her from that
ignoble fate by taking her as a charger,
She was then renamed Patrie. and carried
her master in his service. During the
confusion that reigned at the moment of
the armistice slio was stolen by her
groom, out was recovered by her owner,
The Commune then next arrived, and
the requisitions and acts of violence re
commenced. The master of Patrie was
sought after as a hostage, and was obliged
to quit Paris in haste, leaving her con
cealed in a room on the ground lloor of a
house, with her feet tied up in cloths, so
that the noise she made should not betray
her hiding-place. M. Do Dyanne hail

His wife came into Paris, and, by means of
a passport fur a horse, obtained through
the Turkish embassy, Patrie was saved for
a third time. A year later, M. Parcelier,
her lirst owner, came forward and claim

1. Plowing must be done seasonably.
Some varieties of land need to be broken
up at just the right time, or they are in
jured and rendered unfit for culture.
such are an ciay or aunesive sous, it
plowed when too wet they cake and hard
en Into a state very like that of sunburnt
brick. The best time to plow such lands
is In the fall. Nothing pulverizes a stiff
soil so effectually as exposure to alternate
freezing and thawing. Such lands may
also be plowed to advantage when spring
is so far advanced that they have become
dry and somewhat warm, for though a
clay soil is often spoken of as a cold soil,
it is not wholly insensible to the warmth
of the earth.
2. Plowing must be done judiciously.
A great painter was once asked by a tyro
how he mixed his colors. The artist re
plied, " with brains, sir." Brains are
needed on the farm as well as in the
studio. They are needed in this matter
of plowing. Not only is it important to
know when to do it, but how to do it.
Ore unvarying rule will not apply to all
soils. A rich subsoil must be brought up
little by little only as fust as it can be fer
tilized and Improved, or it will injure in
stead of helping the crops. In discus
sions about deep plowing these discrimin
ations are often forgotten. No doubt,
other things being equal, deep plowing is
preferable to shallow. But oiten other
things are not enual. and the exercise of
judgment is needed instead of a blind re
gard to inflexible rules.
3. Plowing should be deep, i. ., as deep
as circumstances will admit. As already
observed, a hungry, lean subsoil must not
be turned at) a wholesale rate, unless, in
deed there be a wholesale supply of ma
nure to Incorporate with it, which U not
a very probable supposition.
Besides the
plan of gradually raising it Dy driving tne
ordinary plow a little deeper down every
time, It may be loosened and deepened by
the use of the subsoil plow, already de
scribed. In whatever method It Is found
practicable, deep soil should be the far
mer's aim. Such a soil is less easily ex
hausted, furnishes a richer and more ca
pacious seed bed, and a larger supply of
nutriment for the crops, and, in fact,
gives the owner more land to the acre.
4. Plowing should be thorough. What
ever depth Tt Is deemed wisest to go to
should be carefully and steadily attained.
Mere surface skimming is to be avoided.
Misses and leavings are to be guarded
against, especially In green sward. What
a rough, broken, woe-begone appearance
some newly-plowed meadows and pas
tures present, in consequence of careless
plowing. They look as If a herd of wild
bulls had been throwing up the land with
their horns, or a drove ot nuge nogs naa
Deen tearing it up witn iusk ana snout,,
Such plowing Is a disgrace to civiliza
tion. 5. Plnwlnir should be done straight
This is only a question of practice and
habit. Old country plowmen who are
schooled into it will plow so straight that
it looks as if tha surface of the ground
had been marked Into lines by mammoth
rulers. Such plowmen regard with con
tempt the crooked ways of the plow in
this Western world, and well they may.
We advocate straight plowing, however,
not merely because of lfs appearance,
which Is vastly superior to the crooked
worn unfortunately so common, dui De-
cause it is as much better as it looks.
Thorough plowing must be done straight.

Ludicrous and Humiliating.
TnitEE Is something exceedingly ludi
crous as well as humiliating in the story
of Dr. Bertram, the late Consul to Mon
tevideo, Buenos Ayres. The Doctor,
tired of dealing out pills and potions in
the State of Missouri, and having
a wild ambition for diplomatic fame,
Drought all nis personal and political in
fluence to bear on the Administration for
a place in the ranks of the distinguished
corps that represent this great Yankee
nation beyond the seas. He panted to
sport himself in plumed hat and gold lace,
and to dangle a saber at his side, accord
ing to the intellectual custom of foreign
courts and their imperial potentates. He
did not get the mission to England or
France. He could not arrange on satis
factory terms for a first-class consulship at
i aris or London, or, m tact, to any Euro
pean city. But is not royalty the same
the world over, and are not the South
American republics founded upon and
nearly allied to monarchy? The good
Doctor decided that, rather than stay in
the wilds of Missouri, he would hie him
self to the South Pole ; he would change
the day into night and the night into day,
and accept the consulship of Montevideo.
He was appointed, commissioned, in
structed, sailed, arrived at his destination
after two months of anxious tossing on
the restless Atlantic, and prepared to
enter upon his important duties. But
alas for ambition. The great and mighty
nation docs not pay munificent wages to
the Consul at Montevideo. The work is
rather hard, and the salary $1,000 a year.
To rent such quarters as became the re
presentative of the great republic would
cost alone from three to five times the
amount of the salary. Clerks required
about treble, and family expenses mount
ed away up among the thousands. The
Doctor is not blessed with a superabun
dance of worldly goods. He is rich as
Dives In ambition, but a very Lazarus in
dollars and cents. Therefore the Doctor
was placed in a most emb.irrassing situa
tion. He couldn't rent a house, he
couldn't employ a clerk, he couldn't pay
a servant, lie had to carry the American
flag wrapped around his person like a
winding sheet, not being able to afford a
liberty-pole on which to fling It to the
Montevideo breeze. Finally the Doctor
bethought himself of a plan. Ho bought
a second-hand wall tent, and proudly
reared it on the outskirts of the city.
From this warlike tabernacle he flung the
flag of his country to the winds, and re
posed peacefully beneath its sheltering
folds. But alas, again; the diplomatic
corps Of Montevideo were shocked at such
conduct; theyhelitan indignation meet
ing, and resolved to " cut" the Doctor so
cially, and elevate their patrician noses at
him diplomat ically.and this they did, much
to his mortification and chagrin. Finding
himself the butt of ridicule, and his coun
try the object of contempt, the Doctor on
one fine morning struck his fi ig, pneked
Ills medicine case, ' folded his tent like an
Arab, and silently stole away." He ar
rived in Washington a few days ago, with
empty pockets and expiring patriotism,
and related the story of his sufferings to
the Secretary of State.
Whether such a disgraceful state of
things shall be allowed to continue, or
whether our representatives abroad shall
be paid a respectable salary, is now one of
the questions that is seriously agitating

Tub advent of a new preacher in a vil
lage community is always an important
event to the people under his charge, and
his first visits among the families of his
congregation are looked forward to with
great interest. When he enters a house
the family is called together to be intro
duced ; all the children are brought to
him for the friendly word of greeting and
kind admonition ; and before he leaves all
are made to feel that they shall love and
trust him.

almost always one of self-sacrifice to

Unskillful he to fawn, or seek for power,
Hy doctrines fashioned to the varying hour ;
Far oilier aims his heart had learned to prize,
More bent to raise the wretched than to rise.
Beside the bed where parting life was laid.
And sorrow, guilt, and pain, by turns dis
mayed, The reverend champion stood. At his control
Despair and anguish fled the struggling soul ;
Cojiilbrt came down the trembling wretch to
raise,
And his last faltering accents whispered praise.
At church, with meek and unaffected grace,
His looks adorned the venerable place ;
Truth from his lips prevailed with double
sway; .
And fools, who came to scoff, remained to
pray.
The service past, around the pious man,
With ready zeal, each honest rustic ran;
Even children followed with endearing wile,
And plucked his gown, to share the good man's
smile; "
His ready smile a parent'! warmth expressed;
Their welfare pleased him, and their cares dis
tressed; To them his heart, bis love, bis griefs, Were
given,
But all his serious thoughts had rest lnneaen.
As some tali cliff that lilts its awful form,
Swells from the vale, and midway leave the
storm;
Though round its breast the rolling clouds are
spread,
Eternal sunshine settles on its head."

A French agriculturist, after trying
every method known to him for the de

succeeded in effecting his purpose In the
most complete manner by placing a mix

larger species he made use of honey In

Old .-esidents in the vicinity of the
White Mountains say the winter there has
been the toughest known for a quarter of
a century. The quantity of snow has
been almost unprecedented observing
farmers estimate that no less than one
hundred and forty-four inches have fallen.
In some sections the thermometer has
ranged for several days successively at
forty degrees below zero, and certain
springs have frozen which never before
wore known to commit such an indiscre
tion. Tim kitchen should be the lightest, air
iest and sunniest room in the house.
Cookery in the dark is abhorrent to all
our ideas of cleanliness and purity. It is
worth a great sacrifice, in building a
house for one's own use, to arrange that
the kitchen should be on a level with the
ground, or, better still, one or two easy
steps above it, and should face the south
as directly as possible, so that the cheery,
lighting, drying, beauteous s'inshine
should stream into its large windows and
doors all day long.
When mice get into frames, as they
often do, they produce a fearful amount

ed This may easily be done by mixing
sugar and butter or lard smoothly togeth
er in which a lit'la strychnine is incorpo
rated, spread this on thin slices of bread,
and cut into small cubes and distribute
them among the plants, and, at the same
time, place vessels of water in some con
venient place where they may drink. Or,
if preferred, the phosphorus compound
sold by druggists for this purpose may be
used, but we have always had the best suc
cess with the first named mixture. In
either case care must be taken that chil
dren do not have access to the prepared
bits of bread.
Wind-galls, so called, are produced
from strains of the tendons, and are more
or less observable in nearly all horses. In
ordinary cases they do not produce lame
ness, constitute unsoundness, nor unlit the
animal for work, and yet it is difficult if
not impossible to remove them. Where
the tendons are exposed to pressure or
friction, and especially about their ex
tremities, they are lubricated by a mucous
fluid. From extreme pressure, violent
action and straining of the tendons, and
sometimes, perhaps, from predisposition
in the animal, the little sacs containing
this mucus are injured. Inflammation en
sues, and until this subside there may be
some lameness, but afterward, unless they
attain great size, they do not interfere
with the action of the animal. Thev may
be temporarily reduced by means of flan
nel bandages, with pads resting upon the
enlargements. Wet the Dandages with
vinegar, with a little alcohol added. Blis
tering the parts is more effectual, but can
not be recommended. Firing the parts
will remove the unsisrhtlv appearance, for
the reason that the skin will be drawn
tightly over the parts, but this will net as
sist the animal, but only cover up the
blemish, or rather contract the skin over
it. Except upon a very valuable horse, it
will not pay you to operate.
A Wonderful Increase.
According to the statement of D. 15. Gould
& Co., who have taken great pains, while can
vassing for a Directory, to obtain a correct
census, St. Louis now contains a population
of 4'2K,12(l, being an increase over the census
of 1870 of m,'M2, when it was given at 310,
8(14. This increase in the population of our
city, though wonderful, cannot compare with
the great increase of the sales, popularity
and success attained bv Maguire's Cundti
rango Liver and lilood "Bitters, tho greatest

Pain Killer. In another column will be
found the advertisement of Davis' Pain Kil
ler. There is probably no other preparation
manufactured that has become so much of a
household word as the Pain Killer. For
thirty years It has stood before the public,
and the innumerable testimonials that have
beeu called forth voluntarily, testify fully to
its merits. When you need a family medi
cine buy the Pain Killer.
It is almost impossible to estimate the
number of dyspeptics there are in the United
States. The intense business energy of the
American people, scarcely allowing them
selves time to eat their meals, is one great
cause of this. More time ought to be spent
over the dinner table, for, unless the foocj is
thoroughly masticated, it cannot be properly
digested. Still, when one has already got
into trouble, the best thing is to find a way
out. Buchu has been found exceedingly
beneficial in such cases. In Parker's Com
pound Fluid Extract Buchu you can ob
tain a preparation containing all the rare vir
tues of the plant, together with other ingre
dients tending to increase its value. Try it,
and you will not be disappointed. Sold by

Many constitutions are feeble to begin with, many
