" What Alia the PtgaT"
A correspondent of the Ploughman,
some days ago, wrote stating that his
litter of pigs had lost the ilse of their
hind legs, so that they had to drag
themselves along to the trough, and
asks what was the matter. ' -
We answer, emphatically, paraplegia.

A paste made of mustrad with vinegar

As to the causes, which produce the

produce an attack of the disease in

Rolling Ilie Ground.
A correspondent of tho Gormantown

" On dry or wet ground the effect of
tho. roller is -found to be salutary,
rioughed and prepared for sowing, dry
land is much helped by the roller. Tho
blades of grass spring np sooner and
retain a firmer hold in the earth. Iu a
season of drouth, rolling has'saved the

Feed from tlie Acre.
A correspondent qf the Practical

what he produced from two and a half
acres of land in first-rate order, used
for soiling and root growing. The land
was used from August 1st, 1871, to the
end of the season, 1873. The fodder
corn, green rye for autumn use, and
white mustard, . furnished food for
twenty-five oows for two months, and
for thirty-five cows and two oxen for
one month. . In addition to this he

A correspondent .o Ue - New York
Herald, who was allowed to witness
tha tricks of '"the sacred jugglers of
Siom' in -one of the temples there,
thus writes ft follows !,;i'a ;,f. a.-''
' A perfectly formed and most lovely
nantch girl sprang out upon the stage,
and was hailed with universal exclama
tions of delight; everybody calling out
her name-, Lusn-Frabanaas if it were
a word of good omen. " ' Her only dress
was - a short i pettiooat tf r variegated
feather work. A wreath of rosebuds
crowded her soft, short, black hair, and
she wore a pearl . necklace, as - well as
broad gold armlets and anklets. ' With
a brilliant smile she danced exquisitely
for some minutes to the accAmpaniment
of .a single pipe, then 1 knelt and laid
her head npon old Norodom's knee.
The boy fanned her with a fan made of
sweet fern leaves, Minhman fetched a
lotos-Shaped golden goblet, and Tepada
poured into it from a quaint looking
flask a fluid of a greenish hue, The
old Yogi-like Norodom took the goblet
and blew his breath npon the- contents
till they broke into a pale blue flame.
This Tepada extinguished with his
breath, when Norodom held the goblet
to . Lnan-Frabana's lips, and she
drained the contents with a sierh. -As
if transfigured she suddenly sprang to
her feet, her face Btrangely radiant, and
began to spin giddily around in v one
snot. First the bov. then Minhman.
then Tepada tried, to . arrest her, but
they no sooner touched her than she
repelled them with a Shock that thrilled
them as if she had imparted an electric
spark to tbem. spinning constantly,
with a bewilderingly rapid motion, the
girl now sprang off the stage and down
the hall, along by the . foot of tlie -col
umns, Tsin-ki, Minhman, and Tepada
in active pursuit. - In and out among
the crowd they spnn, the three chasing.
Tepada seized hold of the chaplet that
crowned her ; it broke, and as she
whirled along, a spray of rosebnds was
scattered from her brow in every direc
tion. Anything more graceful never
was seen. V. . , u . -
And now a greater wonder. At the
extremity of the hall the three sur
rounded and . would have seized her,
when, still revolving, she rose slowly
into the air, and floated gently over
our heads towards the stage, scattering
roses as she went. At the brink of the
stage, she paused., in mid-air ; - then,
with a slight wing-like motion of her
arms, mounted up, up, np towards the
loftiest arch of the vault overhead.
Suddenly old Norodom seized a bow
and arrow and shot towards her. There
was a wild shriek, a rushing sound,
and the dancer fell with a crash to the
flags of the floor, and laid there an ap-
Earently bloody mass. The music
urst forth into a wild wail, and the
chorus of old hags came tumultuously
lortli and bore her off in their arms. -
Now. from behind the red curtain
came atlozen strong men, bearing on
their shoulders a great leaden box,
which they laid upon the front part of
the' stage. As they-, retired the old
wothe'n came out, bringing a low couch,
decorated with flowers and gold-embroidered
napery.upon which lay Lnan
Prabana, decked, .forth in bridal gar
ments, and sweetly sleeping. - The
cou'eh with its sleeper was put quietly
doWn npon the front part of the stage
and left there, while . Norodom and
Tepada went to the leaden box, and
with hot' irons attempted to unseal it.
"That is Stung-Tieng's ooffiu," whis-
Eered Woun to me ; . " the old saint
as been dead more than half a mil
lenium." Quickly, eagerly it seemed to mo, the
two men broke open the fastenings Of
the ooffln, until the side next the audi
ence falling out at last, a teak box was
discovered. This was prized open with
a small crowbar, and what seemed a
great bundle of nankeen taken out.
Tepada and Norodom commenced to
unwind this wrapping, which was very
tight. Yard after yard was unwound
and folded away by Minhman, and at
last, after at least 100 yards of wrap
ping had been taken off, the dry,
snriveied mummy oi a small, old man
was'visible eyes closed, flesh dry and
hard dead and dry as a smoked her
ring. Norodom tapped the corpse with
the crowbar, and it prave a dull, wooden
sound. Tepada tossed it up and caught
it it was stm as a log. Then he placed
the mummy upon Norodom's knees.
and fetched a flask of oil, a flask of
wine, and a censer burning with some
Eungent incense. Norodom took from
is Mir a little box of unguent, and
prying open the mouth of the mummy
with a cold ohise'i, showed, that the dry
tongue eould rattle like a chip against
the dry fauces?, 1 He filled the mouth
with unguent and closed it, and anoint
ed the eyelids, nostrils, and ears. Then

and carefully rubbed every part of the
body with it. -Then, laying it down in
a reclining position, they put the burn.

apace, while the drums and gongs and

, A Hunting FarroU
II Lures Game to his Master and De-
1 v i " Hants In tn (tiim-t. " "'
k correspondent of the Little Kock
(Atk.) aazett sends that paper the fol
lowing aocount of a .common poll-parrot
which has not only been trained to
hunt, but which has learned to take a
great delight in the chase
Tne owner and ' trainer 01 this nunt
itta parrot is a boatman who formerly
plied between Little Rock and New Or
leans, but who some years since gave
up the business of boating and nas
since led the life of a hunter, living in
a snug cAbii' at the jndetion of Big
Mammelle creek ' with ' the Arkansas
river. - This hunter hermit, whose name
is Nathan Lask, brought with him from
New Orleans,. on making his last trip to
that city, a fine young parrot, to which
he Boon became more attached than any
other thing on earth. Others did not
share h'is'high regard for his pet, and
not a few fights did he have with those
who saw fit to abuse what they called
" a squawking nuisance.'' , Loving his
pet more than all the world beside, and,
above all. desiring to live in peace, Nat.
Lask took up his residence in tho out-of-the-way
place mentioned' above, Jiis
parrot being his constant oompanion.
Here he may be said - to have led tho
life of a hermit; for few and short wore
the visits he received from his kind at
his lone cabin. His bird was all in all
to him. All tho love that ho would
have lavished on wife and weans it re
ceived. Seated on his shoulders, the
parrot attended him in all his walks,
To train the bird and talk to it was al
most his sole occupation. .With tho
careful training of so loving a master,
added to its creat natural talent forimi-
tatinff nil mnnnnr of r.rins of birds and
animals, this bird had become a marvel
of cunning, and a groat wonder in its
way. Taken into the hills bordering
Big Maninieue creek, and the eicnal be
ing given at intervals, it utters the cry
of the turkey so perfectly as to deceive
the oldest and most astute gobbler that
ever strutted. On being answered by
a gobbler, the parrot proceeds .to lure
hfru to death in the most fiendishly co
quetish manner imaginable. Seated on
his master's shoulders, charily and coy
ly the parrot replies. Once he has fully
attracted the attention of the vain and
anxious gobbler, often allowing him to
call in a fretful tone twice or thrioe be
fore deigning to answer, he then, in a
few low and tender notes, lures the
proud bird of the forest within range of
the hunter's deadly rifle. Seeing the
turkey struggling in the aconies of
death fills the parrot with the most
fiendish delight, to which he gives ut
terance in a succession of blood-chill
ing "ha, ha's " in all manner of dia
bolical tones and keys. Should the
hunter miss his aim, however, the par
rot ruilles his feathers, croaks and
Bcolds, pulls his master's hair and long
refuses to be pacihed.
Duck-hunting in iorche and Weto
Bayous is, however, the parrot's chief
delight. Seated in the bow of his mas
ter's boat, snugly ensconced in a patch
of tall bulirushes, the parrot bursts
forth into such a "quack, quacking 1"
and general duck gabble that there
seems to be in the vicinity a whole flock
of these birds, all enjoying themselves
immensely. Thus are many passing
flocks of ducks lured within range of
the gun of the hunter.
(Jeese are in the same way called np
by this wouderful parrot; also, many
other wild fowl and even deer, as the
bird imitates the plaintive bleating of a
fawn or doe to a nicety. No money
would buy the bird, and Nat. Lask,
seen strolling through the woods, gun
in hand, and with his almost inseparable
companion seated on his left shoulder,
seems a second 'Bobidson Crusoe. Al-
thoughso perfect in his imitatiois of
all manner of birds and animals, the
parrot is not a great talker ; indeed his
vocabniary is limited to a few words
and one or two short phrases. He will
sometimes sing out, " Nat, you lub
ber!" and when "Dan Tjnnno-'ftn Ca
Drother boatman of Nat's living at the
head of iiayou J- orche and almost his
only visitor), in his du'g-out.is seen pad
dling in towards the mouth of JJig
Mammelle creek, the parrot whose
name we forgot to say is "Hobby will
shout, ijanagan, ahoy I ijanagan,
a-a-hoy r . The moment Hobby sees
his master take down his gnn he is in a
great flutter. ' Hecockshis head on one
side, his great red eyos sparkling with
delight, and in a low, inquiring tone,
says: " Turkey ? turkey? " JSo,
Bobby," Nat will perhaps say, "not
turkey to-day." Bobby cocks his head
the other way and softly says, "yuack,
quack, quack 1 " les, Uobby, says
"Nat, "quack I quack 1 Jiobby then
bursts into a loud "ha I ha I ha I and
cries, "Nat, you lubber quack 1 ouack!
quack !" Then he ha ha's till the whole
cabin rings again.
Following a Speaker.
It is interesting to observe an impres
sible person follow an earnest speaker,
says the Danoury Aewt. ilis whole ai-
pearance is one of intense expectation.
llis mouth, his eyes, and every movable
part of his face appears to be on the
finest of springs, and the springs in the
full control of the speaker. Uncon
sciously he smiles, smirks, winks,
sneers, contracts and expands his fea
tures, just as the speaker does all these
things. It is tho result of an influence
that is powerful, and yet so delicate
that the slightest interruption breaks
the soell. Although he is unconscious
that he is duplicating tho facial move
ments of the object of his attention, yet
let him catch the glance of an amused
observer of himself, and ho under
stands it in an instant. And then how
mad he is. llis delight changes in
stantaneously to anger and mortifica
tion, and during the balance of the roci
tation his features are as immovable as
a mole on the chin, .

Temperance Move In J(ew York.
At ho Church of the Strangers, in
New York city, an effort was made to
organizo a socioty of ladies to con
a temperance campaign as it is being
done iu Ohio. The following question
was asked the ladies: " Can you get the
consent of your husband, father,
brothers? That is the least difficult
part of tho struggle. Cau you face the
misconstruction of motive, the in
civility, possibly the insults of those
whom it will be necessary to visit in
the prosecution of the work ?
Ten were found willinf? to take every
risk, and they resolved themselves into
a Committee of the Whole npon the
right way to go to work. In a city as
large as New York, one in which so
much alcohol is sold, all agreed that
the work presented vastly greater em
barrassments than elsewhere. They
finally agreed that as those enrolled
were barely a nucleus, it was better to
defer aotive operations for a week. It
is to be a week of prayer and earnest
endeavors to recruit their numbers.
The city is to be districted, and a lady
is to be assigned to each district. She
will be expected to visit every place in
which liquor is made or sold, to talk
with the proprietor, and report his dis
position toward their cause to the
general body. If he seems likely to be
turned from his evil ways by prayer
and moral suasion, those batteries are
to be turned on him. Failing in that.
the owners of houses in which liquor is
sold are to be appealed to to refuse to
lease their houses again for that pur
pose.
Chinese American Wives.
At the aristocratic Chinese club
house, at 34 Mott street, New York, a
reporter who visited them found the
members were active in preparing to
celebrate the new year. A young and
pretty Irish cm. scarcely over eighteen.
opened the door for the reporter. She
was neatly attired, and had a bright
colored shawl over her shoulders. A
broad-faced youner Chinaman was soon
at her elbow. " What-ee want ?" he
asked. The reporter, unable to make
him understand, turned to the girl.
" Do you live here ? he asked.
" Yes," she replied, smiling.
" I suppose tho club will celebrate
to-morrow ?" queried the reporter.
' Oh, yes, said the girl, again laugh
ing. " To-day we had a nice dinner,
chickens and such things, and the men
and their wives are now smoking and
drinking sour wine. The wives are all
Irish girls," added the girl, drawing her
shawl tightly around her and half clos
ing her eyes. "In married, she con
tinued.
What, said the reported in sur
prise, " married to a Chinaman V
" Certainly, she answered proudly ;
'married two weeks to-day. Then
laughing outright she went on to say
that the Chinamen were all Rood " fel
lows ;" that they work hard, go to night
school, and are devoted to their wives,
Her husband, she added, had been in
business five years, and she had been
told that he was a " fine man."
A Case of Circumstantial Evidence.
Annie Tope was living with a family
named Hides, near jonesboro, ill,
every member of which was supposed to
be equal to the commission of murder.
Ono night women's voices were heard
in loud altercation, and two pistol-shots
were fired, followed by a ' piercing
shriek, after which Annie Tope was
seen no more in the vicinity of Jones
boro. Some months passed away, dur
ing which the most uncomplimentary
rumors were circulated relative to the
connection of the Sides family with her
disappearance. A search was made for
the murdered girl s remains, and was
so far successful that the body of a
woman was found with two bullet-holes
in ic. Some clothing and trinkets upon
it were identified as the property of
Annie J. ono, and a strong case was ap
parently made cut against the Sides
family, who were arrested and lodged
in jail. The astonishment of the
crowded court-room at a preliminary in
vestigation may be imagined when, all
the evidenoe for the mate being in,
counsel for the defense placed npon the
witness-stand the girl whose remains
had apparently been discovered some
weeks previously. Hince Miss Tope
emphatically repudiates the mangled
corpse the county authorities are dill
gently searching for the rightful name
to which it belonged.

A real health)) man er woman is a

tha stomach, and then produce chronic
disease by the use of spirituous liquors,

ease by indiscretion, the victim wonders
why "nothing does him good." Just
bo ; and the reason is that they all, or
nearly all, find a basis in alcohol on
poison. To all thm discouraged we can
conscientiously say, " make .one more
trial." Disoard spirituous medicines,
and give natttke a chance, aiding her in

Dear Sir Your favor Is Inst received. I in
tended to have written to yon several weeks
since concerning the improvement in my health.
winch is now very apparent. 1 nave used one
bottlo of Favori'to Prescription with tlie host
resuUH, althoucU I will admit I was somewhat
dixcouracod after its use (for a short time
only). I took it under very disadvantageous
circumstances having tlio supervision of the
House ana dining the season of "house clean
ing" I was obliped. tbrongh tlie incompetency
of belp, to do more than 1 ought, and, of
course, suffered dreadfully, lifted when
ought not to have raised my hand, and did all
i oouiu to uniig "order out ot cnaos, nut
upon laving aside all cares and continuing tbe
remedy I And after using less than one bottle
to be so much benefited that I have discon
tinned the use, with no return of the symptoms
of which I wrote you. I have suffered terribly
and wnat added to mv distress was tne con-
seionsiiess of not procuring relief from ordinary
sources: at times it seemod about impossible to
stand so great was the distress. All of thoso
severe neuralgic pains have disappeared ; they
wore so uad at times 1 could Hardly want witn-
out some oKimimi pressure, lliey seem to
have left me like magic, suddenly, and have
bad no return ; all other symptoms have been
removed. Tbe severe weakness and faintness
have disappeared, and I cau go np stairs with
comparative ease now. I would have informed
you ere tins or my improvement, lor l appre
ciated it, but I was fearful it was only transient
benefit I was receiving, but I think sufficient
time has elapsed to consider the benolicial re
suits permanent. Accept of my best wishes for
your tuture success ana your KinaneBs in ad.
vising mo. lours truly.

Perry Davis' rain-Killer has been before the
public over thirty years, and has a wider and
better reputation than . any other proprietary
medicine of the present day. At this period
there are but few unacquainted with the merits
of the Tain-KiUer ; but while some extol It
as a liniment, they know but little of its power
in easing pain when taken internally, while
others use it intornally with great Biiccess, but
who are equally ignorant of its healing virtues
when applied externally. We therefore wish
to say to all that it is equally successful used
internally or externally, and it Btauda to-day
unrivaled by all tbe great catalogue of Family
Medicines. It is sufficient evidence of its
virtues as a standard medicine, to know that it
is now used in all parts of the world, and that
its sale is constantly increasing. No curative
agent has had a more wide-spread sale or given
such universal satisfaction. It is a purely vege

Dr. J. Walker's Caliiornia Vin
egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the na
tive herbs found on the lower ranees of
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor- j
nia, tlie medicinal properties of which
are er'--acted therefrom without the use
of -ohol. The question is almost
dal "y asked, "What is the cause of tne -unparalleled
success of Vinegar Bit-
tersi Our answer is, mar iney remove ,
the cause of disease, and the patient re ; '
covers his health. They are the great ' J
blood purifier and a lifo-giving principle,

Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro.
anoke, James, and many others, with '
their vast tributaries, throughout out
entire country during the Summer, and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de- .
rangement8 of tho stomach and liver,
and othor abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at the samo time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring tho Jiealthy
functions of tho digestive organs. . ,.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vihegar
