CRUISE OF THE RUNAWAY. The United States steamer Runaway Captain Hall, left the Battery pier yes terday at noon, having on board a small and in some few cases distinguish ed party, whose intent it was to see by invitation the celebrated vineyard, . wine cellar and wine press of Mr. Al- , fred Speer, of Passaic, N. J. Senator | McPherson, of New Jersey, Mr T2ras tus Brooks and State Senator White, of New York, were of the party. Sen ator KernaD, of New York, came very near going, # but switched off and took an adjoining steamer for Governor s Island. The Runaway, Captain Hall, then steamed across the harbor through the Kill Yon Kull past the kerosene covered plains of Communipaw, thence past Bergen Point, rounding into New ark Bay, and thence intTTThe Passaic River. Senator McPherson was the geographer of the occasion and pointed out all the prominent characteristics of New Jersey, including Snake Hill, that •wonderful" outbreak of clear granite from a sunken meadow. On entering the Passaic the Run away made it lively for the bridge tenders, there being some twenty odd bridges to 'draw.' The different species of draws afforded the distinguished party much interest and at times amuse ment. Newark was passed through to the great delight of many of its peo ple. The conversation on board seem ed influenced by the character of the surroundings. Through Newark Bay it turned on oysters, clams, crabs and fish. In the Passaic it drifted towards internal improvements in river and har bor navigation and the supply of drink ing ' water for the neighboring Jersey cities. On arriving within about one and a half miles of Passaic the Runa way came in contact with the bed of the river. As the bed of the river could not be got out of the way the distinguished party did get out of the vessel, and were rowed on shore in several Democratic skiffs. At this juncture, had all the pleasure and excitement of a shipwreck without any of its risks or pains, Senator Mc- Pherson refused to avail himself of the gilded and betasselled yawl of the Run away, but insisted on taking an hum ble scow belonging to his native State, on whose bottom was a deposit of Jer sey mud and aquiatic pltfnks. Mr. Speer here met the party and hauled them in several carriages to his vineyard. Mr. Speer's vineyard covers many acres, and is yearly enlarging and improving. The carriages drove much of the way under vine-covered arbors. Mr. Speer is a successful cultivator of the genu ine Oporto grape. The Oporto resem bles somewhat our native fox grape in size and cluster. It is not a table grape being disposed to the vinegary in taste. At half-past five P. M., the company having viewed all tbe vineyard there was to see anc. eaten all the grapes they could conveniently hold, were rid den to Mr. Speer's grape depot and be stowed to an upper room, w here a col lation was set for them. This, after the fatigues of the day, and a fast vary ing in cases from eighteen to fourteen hours, was doubly appreciated. Mr. Speer's wine, port and Burgundy, punctuated the table at regular distan ces The Maire of Passa c, a very good looking young man, presided at one end of the table and Mr. Erastus Brooks at the other. The last pickled oyster being washed down with Speer's Burgundy and the bologna with Speer's port, tbe Maire arose and propounded the health of Mr. Erastus Brooks. Mr. Brooks responded in an able and effec tive speech, which, in good order, wan dered from the wine groves of Passaic to tbe remotest corners of "Our Glori ous Union," and embraced this "Fam ily of States," distinct like the waves of ibe sea but one as tbe ocean. Sena tor McPherson being next called upon remarked that he had little, very little, to say, and then, as usual in ail these cases, went on and said a great deal, saying it well, too, and with Senatorial force and ability, and when be had at last finished at a hint from Mr. Speer, who Bat opposite, he said also that the canes of Mr. Speer's wine received by him in Washington, and distributed by bim to various Senators, were pro nounced by them superior to anything in Europe. Several other speeches were made of excellent order and quality, as any speech must be wU'ti inspired by Speer's wine, and then the party broke up, each guest receiving as a memento two full bottles wrapped together. The United States ste rucr Runaway being still fast to the bottom of the I'assaic, the distinguished party came home by train. Mr. Speer has done great ser vice to New Jersey. His has been the perseverance of years, his ambition to make a pure and palatable American wine, and his brands will yet be found in the wine lins of kings.— New Yorlc Graphic, Sept. 1. "Mamma," said a little girl, "as people get old does their hair grow quarrelsome?" "Why, no, my child; what ever put such a notion in your head ?" "I thought it must be so, ma, because I heard that old people's hair is constantly falling out." Patient. "Then, according to you, doctor, in order to live at all, I must give up all that makes life worth liv ing ?" Doctor. "I'm afraid so—at least for a few years." Patient. "Perhaps you'd recom mend me to marry ?" Doctor (a con fir vied bachelor). "Oh no. Come, my dear fellow, it's not quite bo bad as all that, you know." A party of Boston capitalists are re ported to be "preparing to establish an Angora goat industry." Let them an ger a goat once, and they'll fipd all the industry displayed they'll want to get away from. "Hole on dar." said a colored man, hailing an acquaintance. "Does yer cross de street ebbertime yer seep me ter keep frum payin' dat bill?" "No, I doesn't, sab." "What fur, den ?" "Ter keep frum bein' axed (ur it." "What must I do," asked a mean and conceited man of a friend who knew him well, "to get a picture of the one I love most ?" "Sit for your own pic ture," was the reply. A little girl, noticing the glittering gold tilling in her aunt's mouth, ex claimed, "Aunt Mary, I wish I had copper-faced teeth like yours." Olass millstones are now used with great satisfaction in Germany. They are said not to heat the flour as much as the French burrstone. The papers are telling about a Kan sas boy who raised 1,000 bushels of corn last summer with only one boree. A Chicago boy raised three men out of a SSO pot with only two jacks. MRS. LYDIA E.

Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparil la, stillingia. maudrake, yellow dock, with tbe iodide pf potash and iron, all jiowerful lilqod-uiaking, blood-cleansing, and life-sus taining elements. It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sci ences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so poteut to cure all diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases. Erysipelas, Rose, or St. Anthony's Fire, Pimple* and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm, Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weak nesses and Irregularities, Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, aud General Debility. By its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out the foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derange ment auil decay. It stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health, and infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole system. No sufferer from any dis ease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Ayer's SARSAPAHILLA a fair trial. It is folly to experiment the numer ftus luw'rpriced mixtures/of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blut)d-puritiers, while disease becomes more firmly seated. Aver s Saiisapaiui.i.a is a medicine of such concentrated curative |H3Wer, that it is by far the best, cheapest, and most reliable blood-puritier known. Physicians know its composition, ami pre scribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confi dence of millions whom it has benelited. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Put a man at the wish-tub, let l:.:n • t heated from the hot suds until every pore is opened; then let him stand O'er the filthy steari that comes from scalding and boiling clothes, that are full of sweat and exhalations irom the skin and his health too would bwfc aown before long ; and yet this most terrible ordeal L> \vlia> A WOMAN has to (to through with on wash-day; and, besides, with her clothing wet from perspiring o the hot work, she has to risk her life by going out in the air to hang up the clothes, fcver those not at work are in the unhealthy atmosphere; its smell, so apparent to visitors, show ing that it finds its way through the house,—the family, however, olten becoming so accus tomed to the peculiar odor from its own wash as not to notice it. These facts readily ex plain why so many women sufl'er with colds, rheumatism, weak nerves, or neuralgia, and LOOK OLD while yet young in years, and physicians and boards of health cannot draw attention too atrongly to the injurious effects of the usual way of washing, with its necessary steam and scalding or boiling to get the clothes pure and sweet-smelling, especially as it is without doubt often the direct cause of those dreadful diseases, diphtheria, consumption, and typhoid fever. Fortunately this trouble can be avoided; scalding, boiling, steam and all disagreeable smell from the wash completely done away with; clothes made sweet and beautifully white; from the saving in fuel the wash done at It# eqft than even when home-jnaile soap ts u*ed, an.i very much SOONER THAN by the old way, by using FRANK SIDDAXLS SOAP,—a Soap so purifying and cleansing that the dirtiest clothing can be washed in lukewarm water with very little rubbing, and clothes, bedding and utensils used by the sick disinfected and cleansed without either, scalding or boiling, while the work is so light that a girl twelve or thirteen years of age can do a Urge wash without being tired; and yet so mild and healing is Oiis Soap that for toilet and shaving it has no equal, and physicians advise its use in preference to imported Castile, Soap on wounds and sores, and to wasn tnc youngest infants, as well as for persons with delicate skin. Now that there is a remedy for this, so economical that the poorest can use U, then. 1 is not a woman or A MAN tmeii aud fearful steam on wash-days, makes the white pieces whiter, colored pieces brighter and flannels softer than they can be made by washing the old way, leaves the hands smooth enough to do fine sewing and uvery article as clean, as sweet and as pure as if never worn. ->TEBTIMONIALS<- From H. E. BOWLW, M. D.. nammonton, N. J., Editor So irfA Jersey Republlcun. My attention was called to FRANK SIDDALLS BOAP from an advertisement in my own paper, and Its use in my bouse for nearly s year, according to tlie directions, lias proved that Its remarkable properties have not been overstated. For remov ing printing Ink it is invaluable, while for toilet and shaving it is the best Soap I have ever seen. From Mas. n. L. KENYON, Northfletd. Vt I do my wash with FRA N K SI DDA LLB SOA P In balf the time and with no expense tor Soap, ru the laving In furl more than pay a far it- I have no steam or scent from the wash, wrtille the saving lu health, clothes and labor can hardly be estimated. From 15. W- STAMTON, 1408 ~N. 20th Bt. Plillada We are confident, from a lone experience In using and recommending FRANK SIDDALLS SOAP, that one trial, according to the very easy printed directions, will overcome all prejudices. It also really baa wonderful merit for shaving, toilet. The following are the Directions for Use, so simple that a child can understand them. Dont do anything so ridiculous as to buy the Soap unless you Intend following them. MO~SIOO positively forfeited if it injures the clothe*, or will not do everything elatmed. First, put the white clothes in a tub of water, only made warm enough to be comfortable for the hands. Then take one piece out at a time on the wash-board, rub the Soap lightly over it, roll it up and put it back into the same tub, and so on with each piece until all have the Soap rubbed on them. Then go away and let them soak at least twenty minute*, without touching them, when the dirt will all be loosened, and a very little rubbing on the wash-board, out of that one suds, will make them perfectly clean, being particular to turn each piece while washing so as to get at the seams. Theu wash lightly on the wash board, through a lukewarm rinse-water (without any Boap,) so as to get the dirty suds out. Theu put through blue-water, and on tha line, vnthout scalding or boiling a tingle pieca Afterward put flannel* and colored pieces to soak, and wash them exactly the same way. It Is important not to heat the wash-water in a tin, brass or copper kettle. A tea-kettle will heat enough water for a large wash with this Soap. Just Think What You will Save by this Easy Way of Washing! No Wash-boiler! No Steam! No Smell of Suds through the House! It has the remarkable Property of keeping the Di&h-t loth, Wash-Rag and Sponge always Sweet, and of Washing Freely in Hard Water. -HSOLD BY GROCEEBH- Get a Cake and Try it for Yourself next Wash-Day.

PLANING MILL AND YARD tfeitr tieruiHii Catholic Chnrch jin?-£O-ly | " A NEW DEPARTURE! iCT^^Hn^ra^Di THE SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO. at Syracuse, N. Y. Are now putting on the market a Plow that la as much superior to any Plow heretofore made as the Plows ot the past few years have been superior to those made halt a century ago. It combines all the excellencies ol any Plow In use. It obviates Oil the objections made to any other Plow. In addlUon It embraces several new features of the greatest value, for which we have ob tained exclusive Patents. Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled under a process for which wo have also obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be called THE SYRACUSE CHILLED STEEL PLOW Its weight will be eighteen pouuds less than our present styles. A flrst-class Steel Plow, made In the or dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two dollars, inferior Steel Plows retail from six teen to nineteen dollars. The price of our new Plow will be but Seventeen Dollar*, and It wIU be the cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold. Its mold board will outwear three of the very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold ■•boards. It will scour In soils where all steel plows and all other plows have hitherto proved a failure. With this Plow will be Introduced a corn* gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on whlct we have also obtained a Patent, and which is also a great Improvement, both as regards itrength and wear. The Jointer can be shifted so as to take more or less land, and also more or less pitch, and It can always be kept on a line with the Plow. The wheel will run under the beam or one side of It as desired, and always kept In line. The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall Plowing, and also for two or three horses. The handles can be adjusted to accommo date a man or boy, on the same Plow. It Is a perfect Plow. Wooden beams are going out of use because they shrink, swell and warp, and never run two seasons alike. Iron beams are too heavy. Malleable beams become demoralized and tend, which Is much worse than to break. A Steel beam Is the necessity of the day. It Is three times as strong and very much lighter than any other style. When ire say a Mold board Is chilled, the* farmers know It Is so. We do not palm off on them a composition Of various metals and call It chilled metaL We want agents for this new Plow In every town In this State. We can give but a very small discount to them, but we will pay the Railroad Freight We propose to place this Plow In the handf of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture as possible. It will be the best Agricultural Implement ever sold. It shall also be the cheapest. Persons therefore who are not willing to act as agents on the principle that " a nimble six pence Is better than a slow shilling," need uot apply for an agency. No Plows on commission. All sales absolute. IF" This Is the only Steel Chilled Plow in the World. Steel costs several times more than Iron- But this Plow, full rigged, by giving small discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars. Compare this price with that of any Iron Plow ever made. It Is cheaper than any other Plow now nade would be at five dollars and a half. Where there are no agents we will, on re eelpt of seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any Railroad station In the State and pay the freight Address, SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO. Syracuse, N. V.
