1 ttrwckvt.y, The Cotuatarfelter. The history of William Brock way, alias "Billy Spencer," alias "Long Bill," who has figured in the Doyle case, like that of many of the coney men, abounds in sirgoiar instasces, and is replete with snggestiv-e thoughts. It is remarkable that the fascination w hich attaches to the 'business' never, or rarely ever, leaves those who are en gaged in it. The case of Brock way iy a striking illustration of this. He lias ' shown a remarkable adaptability to this kind of work ever since he did his first job in New Haven, Con., in 1S50. He was apprentice to a printer who did the printing for the Mew Haven bank, whose institution thought itself to be secure against imitations. Two of the directors of the lank would take a plate from the vaults, carry it to the printer, and stand by him while he made the impressions. Then they took the bills to the bank, where they were signed by the president and cashier. Brock way was sent to Yale college, where ue be came proficient in the art of electro chemistry as taught by Prof. Silliman, the printer paying his expenses. On his return he was aide and willing to impart much valuable information to his benefactor, and it was his sugges tion which brought about the iollowing bit of clever work. The directors had come over with a five dollar plate, which was placed on the press. The printer called them aside to examine the quality of the paper which was to be used, alleging that it was inferior to that which was previously used. The examination required but a moment, but during that time Brock way secured a copv of the plate in soft metal, which was perfect, and slipped it under his apron. He afterwards elcctrotyped it, copied it with second transfer, elec trotyped this, and a fine copper-faced plate which worked to perfection was the result By degrees the paper was obtained, and 20,000 iuiprt sious $100,000 were worked off. Broekway was an ex)ert pcniuiiD, and the bills were signed. So well exeiuted were these Liils that they were taken by Xew Haven banks in large numlers liefore it was ascertained that they were hJTuiiohs. The bank was nnable to fathom the secret, and began to redeem the Lutes and do its own punting. Broekway got VHW-seKsiou of the plate and printed spurions V's on the North Biver bank, and 2's on the New York state bank. On these his troubles begsu. He was run out of Xew Tork, captured in the woods, gave np the plates and was sent to state prison for six years. He was releasej before his time expired, but his imprisonment had only made him the more determined. His next exploit was in issuing spurious notes of the 7-30 bonds. This work was so artistic that SIKJ.OOO of the issue got back into the United States treasury lefore anything wrong was snpiicted The question of the falsity of the notes was contseted to Jay Cooke, but while the government obtained a verdict. there were still many who doubted that thev were false. The secret service undertook to unlock the mystery con nected with the issuing of the notes. It was ascertained that Broekway was the only man known who had perfected this art of transferring the face of a plate by the electrotype process. He was again in the toils, but was cleared. It has been a conjecture ever since how this was brought aliont. He gave bail in the sum of 20,000, and his wife backed his bondsmen with forty $100 United States bonds. He was atterward r- rested in New Jersey, and when the decision was given in the case of Jay Cooke. Broekway was arrested lor that work. He gave bail, and w hen the trial came off no testimony was adduced that would convict him, and he again went free. Ou several subsoiiuent occasions he was ai retted, lecause, as he alleges, he would not give up hush- money, but in every instance he escajied eouvietion. One of the salient Hunts in Brock way's character is said to le that of holding liis tongHe. tie has been regarded I y the secret service men as the luwt ixjlwhed scoundrel in the business. He made enough out of the first venture he had to keep him inde pendent for life. Hints on Calling. On leaving, never mistake a silc um brella for your cotton one. You may be termed eccentric.

The OVeT- f tccking of land is one of the surest and quickest ways of ruining past art?. It u an everyday thing with many fanners, who cannot be marie to beileve that tney are retting the full benefit of a r-Mtare unless the pras is ealen off a little faster than it has time to erow; consequently all who put this method in practice alwsys have bare nurtures and poor cattle. The ad vantages to be derived trom allowing the crass to gain on the cattle during the growing sea son are many, among which are the fol lowing: Cattle which are kept growing all the time come to maturity at the proper age. Animals aept constantly on bare pastures never mature properly: those kept on good istnres do not nave to wora day and sight to satiffr their appetite cr use np all their food in building up a ys tctn worn down by partial starvation. A good covenmr of graw is a protection ajrainst the effects of bad and dry weather and the ro!d rains f winter, ao that new grata will be growing under a covering of the old crop. It is true that cattle will thrive belter on a mixture of old and new grass, while tlic seeding of the mature gram-swill keep up the full variety of those kinds native tothefoih Consequent ly pastures thus treated produce more food tor stock dunnz the year than thee kept continually eaten down to the bare eaith. The practice of keeping pastures in good conJiti m is easily done uion large farms, where reserve fields can be provided, but even the fmall farmer can succeed in hav ing renewed and fertile pasture, if he but study the laws of nature and practice ac cording to the knowledge thus acquired.

This cannot be ful!y met for years, and, when done, turcpe will gladly lake our surplus at tqual or peihaps higher prices for an in definite length of time. The superior pro tit in rearing these is, that thev can be put to light farm work at IS to 24 months ot aire, and the hardest of it at four years old. When they have attained five or six years, they can tie sold for ci'y and other heavy work, and by this time they will have paid their cost of rearing on the farm, and the high price at which they now sell will le a clear gain to the tanner. This is the calculation iu Europe, and it may be still more tai!y realized in America where grain, grass and hay are so much cheaper and more t:buudant.

Itsanen as st Medietas la DiseasM lbe Liver, (tiomaen aiaitl Bowels. Mandrake wa-t flrst ue-i by the Indians. In a crude state, but eveu la titer U.ui U prrrrned such won lerful cures that it attracted t ie atten tion of physiciuu, mure especially a' it was found to produce all the good resuin of mercury, wits- oot any of the dangrrs atteu.l'n the tue of UtU mineral potsijn. Since its intruluction b the me ileal w.irM, tt has almost entirely taken the pa e of men: a rial preparations ta duseaes ftr whicii mercury was fonuerly 111. Mandrake is found throughout the Un.ted States In low, shady situations. It hears tu Bowers in May or June, and matures Irs fruit in Sephmcr or October. It is more common in tlte Western ami Middle States than In New England or tbe South. The root only is used as a medic. ne. the proper time for gathering being the early part of Xovember, soon after the ripening of the fruit. It should never be used when freshly gtthered, and even when dry tt win .omtime cause severe pain ntues combined with other medicines. We ask the reader to carefully peruke the fol lowing opinions of two eminent physicians on the great curative properties of the Mandrake: Prof. John Kinj. M. D., says Iu JV .t infrie.tn fii.jrauivry : "As a deobstruent it is one of the most valuable ia our materia medlea, acting through and upon a l the tissues of the s stent. Ia bilious and tipboid febnie diseavva it is very valu- able aa a cathartic, often breaking up the dilate at once. In Chronic Hepatitis ;Ltver Complaint) there U not its superior in the whole rane of medicine-i, being vastly more useful than tuetvunal agents, arousing the liver to healthy actiim, increasing the Bow of bile, and keeping up these actions longer tbi.-a any other agent with which we are ao quainted. In constipation it act on the bowels without dis;suv theui to sulequent costiveness. As a cholagogue cathartic It probably has no equal. It produces a specific action on the liver, aroUiUng it to action an I prolucing free bilious evacuations. In bilkm fevers, either remittent or Intermittent, as well as acute diseasa of "ho liver, or bilious pneumonia, it not nnfrequently arrests tbe disease at the fira prescription, or it so far molitieslhe attack that the ca- ite-otues mild and manageable. In chronic Hepatic derange ment (Liver Complaint) with Dyspepsia, It ia a most valuable remeiiy. Its range of application la perhaps more extensive than any other cathartic medicine, and while in any an I every ease it will do all the good that Is claimed for mercury, it is entirely free from any of the objections to that article." The late Professor T. V. Morrov says: "Per haps no medicine has been introduced to the medi cal profession for the last one hundred yean which promises to be of so nines value as Po-lo-phyllin (Mandrake.) An experience somewhat ex tensive in the nse of this agent In the treatment ofagrsat variety of cases of disease, has fully con vinced me of tu Immense value as a reme dial agent, especially aa a purgative and alterative. It operates with energy and eril- ciency, without harshness, leaving the bowels in a gently lax condition for two or three days after Its operation. With one tangle dose of this medicine 1 have freoneny arrested a severe attack of bil ious remittent fever, requiring nothing further to complete the cure except some gentle tunic and a roper avoidance of the exciting causes. The resnita of my experience la the use or this article aa a remedial agent, on the whole, are such as to leave no doubt in my mind that it is ikwtined to occupy a conspicuous place among the most valuable remedies of the materia nie bca, with a very extended range of application in the treat ment of disease. Imleed, it promises to be more than a substitute for mercury m all those cases where mercury has proved of any substantial value, without tbe liability of producing injurious effects on the cooatitutioo of patients.' Mandrake has been used in many forms by phy sicians and others, but tt was never brought before the public in a perfect ami practical war anttl pre pared and combined with other practical medi cines by Dr. J. H. Schenck OF rUTLADELPIIIA. Thirty years ago he began the nuanfacture ot a ow celebrate-l MANDRAKE PILLS and since that time they have gained the eonfl dence of the public ao fully that ueur ante In tue I'nited States now far exieil tttt uf any other cathartic medicine : They do not produce siekne.a at tbe stomach, nausea or griping.
