"I vent through curious experience
lately," said a steamboat man to the
writer. "Business took nie to a smal
town in Louisiana, and I remained there
nil night, and on turning in at the small
hotel I told the porter to call me at
eight sharp, and left tho blind open, 60
that I should be sure and not oversleep.
A few hours, ns I thought, later, I was
aroused by some one pounding on my
door, and I soon recognized the boy's
voice, saying it was timo to get up. It
can't bo more than four,' 1 sung out,
'for it's as dark as pitch.' 'It's eight,
all de same,' Tel led the boy; an de
wort's a coming to an end;'
and then," continued the speaker,
"I heard yells and groans nil about,
and I can tell you I wasn't long in get
ting into my duds, and when I got down
stairs there was a curious scene. All
the lamps were lighted, and tho rooms
were full of negroes, all a yelling and
groaning that the end had come. The
white folks didn't look much more
cheerful, for it did look kind of queer,
as out of doors, where the sun, by good
rights, ought to havo been three hours
high, it was as bhick as tho ace of spades
not an ordinary night black, but some
thing worse so that it seemed like a
regular fog, and people got lost and ran
intb fences and tho like. It lasted for
about four hours, and then, having
scared the people half to death, it began
to let up, and finally tho sun came out.
It was what they called a dark day, and,
although there were plcuty of theories
proposed, I doubt if any exactly hit the
mark."
The Louisiana dark day is by no
means the first that has visited tho
country. In an old journal dated Aug
ust fl, 1732, there is a note concerning a
dark day in Kew England: "At twelve
o'clock, when people began to go to
dinner, it suddenly grew dark. Chickens
went to roost, and few persons returned
to their stores, and universal alarm was
felt. The gloom lasted well into tho
afternoon, clearing away before sun
down, however, as if to show that that
luminary was still in existence." In very
early times dark days have been recorded,
and the one in England in the year 1678
was justly famous. In 1807, and 1810
England had a similar visitation. In
early days these occurrences were sup
posed to precede disaster of some kind,
as war, plague, or something of that
nature. In October, 1783, tho sunlight
was shut off over a greater part of
Canada so quickly that tho inhabitants
in many towns were panic-stricken, and
a number of persons were injured by
losing their way and falling over cliffs,
etc. In this case the darkness was fol
lowed by a hurricane that caused great
damage throughout the country. During
the war of 1812 a remarkable dark day
was experienced in London, and in tho
succeeding year the darkness came for
several days in succession, so that lamps
were useless, and business was almost
completely at a stand-still. The display
was followed by a terrible snow
storm nnd a winter remarkable for
its severity. Probably the most remarka
ble dark era, especially so for the wido
ness of its range, was that which ap
peared over New England. Maine and
New Hampshire felt it the most, but it
was universal all over the States. In the
Connecticut legislature one of the speak
ers was quoting from the Bible .the line
referring to seeing "through" a glass
darkly," when, like a shot, they were
left in darkness, black, ominous clouds
seemingly settling dowu over the locali
ty. The speaker, it is said, pointed to
the great window and remarked: "It is
rarely that we have an example better
than can be found in the Bible, and I
move wo adjourn and go out nnd see it,"
and, as the house was in almost total
rla.'kucss, it adjourned. Candles were
lighted at this time all over Now Eng
land, and the superstitious were positive
that the end had come. A peculiar fea
ture of these dark spells was that they
were all remarkable for a peculiar hue or
tint that pervaded them. Thus the fog.
If it can so be called, that spread over
New England had a remarkably brassy
hue, that gave all objects a spec
tral appearance, while some ob
servers stated that every
thing had a yellow tint, and claimed
that there was an odor of sulphur. This
same hue was noticed by the writer some
years since on the Maine coast, and was
supposed to bo due to forest fires, that
filled the air with smoke. Tho wonder
ful dark fog that fell like a pall over
England and other parts of Europe in
178:t is described as having a decided
blue tint. On other occasions the tint
has been red, gray or purple. One of
the most remarkable "blue days" on
record was noticed a few years ago in
South. America, and in some towns,
where the houses were pure white, they
gave an extremely rich blue reflection of
many different shades. The great ex
tent of these periods of darkness is diffi
cult to explain.
It has been found that vast amounts
of organic and inorganic matter are al
ways floating about in space, and it has
been assumed that at times great bodies
of dust are swept into the air quite
enough, in fact, to occasion a series of
dark days under the locality where the
dust was held suspended in the air.
What are known as "red snow."
"blood rains" and rther phenomena in
Europe are merely the result of the pre
cipitation of this matter to the ground.
Tbey were even more dreaded in early
times than the dark days, and the peoplo
of the time fully believed that blood
had fallen from tho sky. A blood rain
according to 1'liny, fell in Constanti
nople in the year b'"iO. At Brixan there
was a similar fall in 8(1!) ; at Bagdad in
lil!!); at Viterbo in 1210; in Bohemia in
141!); in Westphalia in 154:) ; at Emden
in 1500; at Stiusburg in 103u; Brussels.
1C40, and at Venice iu 1087. Other fa
mous blood rains occurred at (ieuoa in
1744 ; at Cleves, 1703; Bicurdv, 17(15;
Italy, 1803, and at Glessen in 1821. In
the records of ull these rains there aiu
accounts of tho terror of tho jeople, who
in wly believed that some tumble visita
tion yvuh ubout to occur, hud, indeed,
they were not agreeablu to the eye. The
biiow that was puro white in the evening
would, in the lollowing mornlnff. have
changed to a rkWbof-red, so that the
entire country looked as though it had a
coating of blood. In the slang of to-day
the world was "painted red." The
cause of the peculiar color was explained
by the fact that tons of dust had fallen,
and the red hue was the natural tint of
peroxide of iron. Nor was the color of
those rains confined to rod. In 1846 a
yellow rain fell in Franco.and so alarmed
all the inhabitants that it is said that
wild animals took to the towns, and ut
terly lost their fear of man. This rain is
said to have originated in South Amer
ica, and Ehrcnberg estimated that hun
dreds of tons of organic matter was de
posited about the surrounding country.
This must have crossed tho Atlantic in
somo extremely high current. The yel
low pollen of plants at times causes what
is known as yellow fog, nnd that this
coloring agent is carried along through
tho air great distances the writer can
testify, as in 1933 the rocks on certain
parts of the Maine coast appeared cov
ered one morning with a yellow powder
that resembled sulphur, and not a few
fishermen thought it was, but the micro
scope showed it to be pollen, and inves
tigation proved that it must have blown
several hundreds of miles. Cincinnati

Preserved Sunshine.
Light nnd life are inseparable, that is,
such was the generally received opinion
many years ago, and in accordance with
it, houses wero built, liberally supplied
with windows, and as liberally now
but go along any of the fashionable
streets of Now York, and you will find
not less than thrco, and often six, dis
tinct contrivances to keep out the sun
shine and gladness. First, tho Venetian
shutter on the outside; second, the close
shutter on the inside; third, the blind
which is moved by rollers; then, fourth
ly, there are the lace curtains; fifth the
damask or other material. In the same
train come the exclusion of external air
by means of a double sash, and a variety
of patent contrivances to keep any little
stray whiff of air from entering at the
bottom, sides and tops of doors and
windows. At this rate, wo will, in duo
time, dwindle into Lilliputs, if indeed
wo do not die off sooner, with all
science and art, and leave the world to
'begin anew, from the few sons of the
forest, who persisted in eschewing
civilization. We lay it down as
a health axiom the moro out
door air and cheery sunshine a man can
uso, the longer he will live. But the
Preserved Sunshine! What about it?
That very same sunshino which so lav
ishly beamed upon our continent with
all its tropical fervor in the earlier ages
of creation, what has become of it? A
casual reader of the Journal will exclaim,
"What a fool of a question that is I"
Let us leisurely inquire into it; but in
doing so we must take it for granted that
the reader knows something. In Central
America, where the sun shines with all
its brilliancy and fierceness, vegetation is
of fabulous growth, of a luxuriance
almost incredible. But how does a tree
grow? Without light no wood is made in
any vegetable growth; the woody hbre
is from carbonic acid gas being absorbed
by the leaves and through the bark of
any growth. But light separates the
two constituents which compose this
carbonic acid gas, carbon ana oxygen,
and two uiffercnt uses are made of it ;
the oxygen is liberated, thrown out and
breathed by animals and men, while the
carbon or "coal" goes to form the woody
fibre of the plant, which presents a kind of
ring, plainly seen in sawing through &
tree, the number of rings indicating the
age of the tree in years ; some of these rings
are broader, some narrower, indicating
most probably the more or less sunshine
of the year, for a plant will not grow as
much in a cold summer as in a warm
one.' In a section of a California tree, a
part of which we have seen, more than
two thousand such rings were counted,
showing that these trees must have lived
in the times of David and perhaps of
Abraham. In the earlier ages of the
world, some great flood or floods swept
over the immense growths of the warmer
climes, which then, no doubt, included
what is now called Ohio and Pennsyl
vania. In process of time, this growth
was covered with earth and stones, and
eventually became "coal." the anthracite
and bituminous, with which we are so
familiar; and the very identical carbon
which the sunlight of ages ago separated
for the purpose of vegetation, is now, by
its combination with its old associate
oxygen, returning to its original condi
tion of carbonic acid gas, and in making
that change by what we call "burning,"
warms our houses, lights up our streets,
and is preparing to grease our rail cars,
by the oil which it is capable of yielding.

THE ANT AND THE LION.
The Ant having heard that the Lion
had killed a Hunter and picked his
Bones set out and journeyed through the
Forest until she met the King of Beasts.
After stating what she had heard the
Ant continued :
"It tills me with Sadness and Sorrow
to know that of you. I shall Proceed
to make your Future conduct my Special
Mission."
At the Desire of the Ant the Lion ac
companied her Home. The young Ants
annoyed him and he killed them by the
tcore. The Beetles, who were Friends
of the Ants, came on a visit to be snap
ped up. Wishing to see how the Ant
Hill was constructed, the Lion in one
moment made a wreck of the Labor of
Weeks. Finally, when the Philanthropic
Ant had several times Narrowly escaped
with her Life she felt to exclaim:
"Begoue with you back to your
Ilauuul As a Wicked Lion you may
now and then Slay a Hunter, but as a
Reformed Beast you will certaiuly be the

France and Greece have 100 holidays
annually; Russia sixty-six, Belgium,
sixty-five, England eighty-four, and the
United States sixty. These includo Sun
days. A Spaniard named Thillips, butcher at
Poplar Creek Agency, M. T., recently
lost one of his children by death, and to
commemorate the event cut off his left
forefinger, and sacrificed a fine mare and
a three-year-old steer on the grave of the
child.
The Great Wall of China is about 1,400
miles in length. In tho greater part of
its length it iE simply a rampart of earth,
but in the eastern section it is a wall of
solid granite, fifteen to thirty feet high,
and wide enough at tho top for six horse
men to ride abreast. At intervals there
are watch towers from forty to fifty feet
high.
Every man, woman and child, from
the king downward, in Burmah, may be
said to smoko immense cheroots four or
five inches long, made of a coarse leaf
rolled up and filled with wood-chips,
raw sugar, and a dash of tobacco, ac
cording to taste. One of these cheroots
once lit frequently passes round the en
tire family circle, not forgetting even the
smallest members of it.
Glass drinking cups have been found
in Anglo-Saxon graves, and they are all
round-bottomed. Such cups could not
be made to stand upright, and it has
been supposed they were so designed in
order to cause the drinker to empty them
at once. This feature is said to have
given rise to the word tumbler which
has been applied to our drinking vessels,
though these do not possess the curious
shape of the ancient cups.
The Blue laws of Connecticut were so
called because they were collected and
issued in 1650 in blue paper covers.
They were the first collection of laws
founded for the government of tho col
ony. Copies of these laws found their
way to England, where they first re
ceived the name of Blue Laws. After
the restoration of Charles II. the word
"blue" was applied to rigid moralists of
every kind, especially the Presbyterians.
The Man Who Jumps.
"There's always some fool to jump off
a train and get hurt," said a brakeman,
"and frequently tho one that jumps is
just the man who always claims that he
knows better and gives other people lec
tures for their foolhardinees. I'll never
forget a little thing that happened one
day as we were going into Indianapolis.
On the train was a sheriff who had in
charge three imbeciles whom he was
taking to the asylum. They were not
handcuffed nor tied in any way, but
permitted to run about the car just as
they wanted to. On board was a passen
ger who complained about this a good
deal. Ho thought the imbeciles should
bo tied up. 'They haven't any more
sense than to go and jump off the train,'
be said, 'and they should be better taken
care of.' But the sheriff he just took
things easy, and said he guessed they
were all right. Well, as we were going
into Indianapolis, I was standing on the
rear platform. This complaining passen
ger came, out, with his grip in his hand,
and his shiny silk hat on his head. As
we came to a street crossing, he said:
Guess I'll get off here,' and before I
could do a thing to stop him, ho jumped.
He probably thought we were running
slow, but those things are very deceptive.
He landed on his feet, but he" didn't stay
there long. He just assumed the shape
of a half circle, bent the wrong way to
be uncomfortable for him, and ended uo
with his nose in the mud and his heels
in the air. Then he spread out and fell
flat, kind o' sprawling out as if he
wanted to cover tho wholo street. But
the funniest thing was chat as I turned
to go into the car, I found one of them
imbeciles looking out the door. He
grinned as if he was never so delighted
in his life and uttered: 'The fool did
jump, didn't hel'" Chicago Herald.

Bilious, Itenilllent, intermittent an.'
Malarial Fevers, are prevalent throughout ' '
United States, particularly in the valle; '
rreat rivers anil their vast trihntariesdii, f
Summer and Autumn, esfieoially during s.. . V
of unusual heat and dryness. v
Theae fevers are invariably aeconipanf , .
by extensive derangements of the stoinaci, livei
and bowels. In their treatment, a purgaie, ex-
ertlnt; a powerful influence upon these ortn, is
absolutely necessary. -
There Is no ralhartle for the purpose
equal to Dr. J. Wai.ikk's Vimkoar niTTKiuu as It
will speeitily remove the dark-colored viscid
matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the
same time stiinulatini; the arcretious of the liver,
and Kennrally reatoriug the healthy functions of
the diceetivs oixaus.
I'orlliy the bod y against disease by purf
fylnit all its fluids with Vinkoar Uittehs. No
epidemic can talte bold of a system thus fors
aruied. It Invlfforates (ho Kloinarh and stimu
lates the torpid Liver and Bowels, w hich render
it of unequaled efficiency in cleansing the blood
of all impurities, iniiarliutf new life and vior to
the fraius, and carrviui; off without the aid of
Calomel, or other mineral medicine, every par
ticle of poisonous matter from the system.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache,
Pain iu the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the
Chest, Dizziness. Hour Stomach, Bad Taste in the
Mouth, Ktlious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of the Lungs, l ain in the region of
the Kidneys, and a hundi-ed other painful symp
toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.

Scrofulous or Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial
Affections, Old Soros, Eruptions of the Skin. Sore
Eyes, eto. In these, ss in all otlierconttitiitional
Diseases, Wiukh'h YiMOAK IliTTFitg has Bhown
their great curative powers in the most obsti
nate and intractable cukcs.
For Inltsmina lory and Chronic Ttheumv
tlsm, (lout, Bilious, Kemittent and Intenniltent
Fevers, Diseases of the Wood, Liver, KideevR snd
Bladder, the Bitters have no equal. Such Dis
eases are caused bv Vitiuted Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons engaged
in Paints and Minerals, such as riumbem, Type
setters, Gold beaters, and Jliuers. as they ad-
vance io life, are subject to paralysis of the
Bowels. To guard atrauiht this, take a dose of
Waiter's Vinkoar Bitters.
For Mi I n Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter,
Bait ltheum, Blotches, Hpols, Pimples. Pustules,
Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms, Scald-head. Soro
Kyes. Krysipelos, Itch, Scurfs. Discolorations,
Humors and diseases of the Skin of whatever
name or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of the system in a short time by the use of
the Hitters.
Plu, Tape, and other Worms, lurking
In the system of so many thousands, are effec
tually destroyed and removed. No system of
medicine, no 'vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will
free the svstem from worms like the hitters.
For Female Complaints, In young or
old, married or single, ut the dawn of woman
hood, ortheturn of lift, this bittern tins noeifual.
Cleanse the Vlllaled Itlood whenever
you find iis impurities bursting through the skin
In Pimples, KruptiouH, or Sores ; clcatine it when
you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins :
cleans' it when it is foul ; your feelings will tell
you when. Keep the blood pure, aud the health
of the system will follow.
I n conclusion : tiive the Bitters a tr'al. It
will speak lor itself. One botl'e is a better guar
antee of its meriUi than n lengthy advertisement.
