Providence. June 2lli, 187'.
Mn. H. R. Btpvehs! Dear Sir, I have been a
F treat suflerer from dropsy. I was eon lined to my
louse more than a year. Six months of the time
I was entirely helpless, Iwasobllghed to have
two men help me In out of bed. 1 was swollen
19 Inches larger than my natural sire around my
waist. I sultered all a man could and live. I
tried all remedies for Dropsy. I had three differ
ent doctors. My friends all expected I would die:
many nights I was expected to die before morn
ing. At last Vegetlne was sent me by a friend.
I never shall forget the first dose. I could realize
Its good elfects fromdny to dayi I was getting
better. After I had taken some 5 or 8 bottles I
could sleep quite well nights. I began to gain
now quite fast. After taking some 10 bottles, I
eon Id walk from one part of the room to the
other. My apatite was good : the dropsy had at
this time disappeared I kept taking the Vege
tlne until I regained my usual health. I heard of
a great many cures by using Vegetlne after
I got nut and was able to attend to my work.
1 am a carpenter and builder. I will also say It
has cured an aunt of my wife's of Neuralgia,
who had sultered for more than 20 years. tthe
says she has not had any neuralgia for eight
months. I have given It to one of my children
for Canker Humor. 1 have no doubt in my mind
It will cure any humor; It Is a great cleanser of
the blood : It Is safe to glvea child. Twill recom
mend It. to the world. My father Is 80 years old.
and he says there Is nothing like It to give strength
and life to an aued person. I cannot be too thank
ful for the use of It. I am,
Very gratefully yours, JOIINB. NOTTAGE.
ALL DISEASES OK THE BLOOD. If Vege
tlne will relieve pain, cleanse, piirlllv. and cure
such diseases, restore the patient to health after
trying different physicians, many remedies, suf
fering for years. Is it not conclusive proof. If you
are a suflerer. you can be curedt why Is this
medicine performing such great cures? It works
In the blood. In the circulating fluid. It can truly
be called the (treat Hlood l'urlller. The great
source of disease originates In the blood; and no
medicine that does not act directly upon It, to
purify and renovate, has any Just claim upon
public attention.

VEaETINE.
Newport, Ky., April 20, 1877.
Mn II. R. 8TEPI1BNB: Dear Sir, Having suiter,
ed from a breaking out of Cankerous Sores for
more than five years, caused by an accident of a
fractured bone, which fracture ran into a run
ning sore, and having used every thing I could
think of and nothing helped me, until I had taken
six bottles of your valuable medicine which Mr.
Miller the apothecary recommended very highly.
The sixth bottle cured me, and all I can say. Is
that I owe my health to your valuable Vegetlne.
Your most obedient servant,
ALBERT VON ROEDER.
" It Is unnecessary for me to enumerate the
diseases for which the Vegetlne should be used.
I kuow of no disease which will not admit of Its
use, with good results. Almostlnunmerablocom-
Idaints are caused by poisonous secretions In the
flood, which can be edlterly expelled from the
system by the use of the Vegetlne. When the
blond Is perfectedly cleansed, the disease rapidly
yields: all pains cease; healthy action is prompt
ly restored, and the patient la cured.

CURIOUS SUPERSTITIONS.
IN looking at the bizarre figures on
Chinese pottery, fans and toa-cheati,
one cannot help wondering what tort of
tales the Chinese must tell their children,
and to what sort of superstitions they
must be Inclined. The modern noarch
Into the " folk lore'? of different nation,
1n order to establish theories of national
origin, has brought many popularuper
etltlong forward In learned volume, and
has given historical and philosophical
value to old wives' fables, which might
otherwise have remained In obscurity.
This article tins nothing to do with the
learning side of these disquisitions. The
publication In England of a volume
on the " Folk Lore of China and Its
Affinities," gives us some specimens of
Chinese superstition, which may amuse
the render, who mny trnco the "affini
ties" at leisure.
Like ourselves, the Chinese do not
like to brenk looking glasses. To break
a mirror Is a sign of trouble In the
family. To break an oil Jar Is a still
more fearful omen, and the terror which
the Westerners attach to spilling salt, Is
given among these Orlentnls of spilling
oil. But the mirror plays a more im
portant part in China than the most
superstitious among the ' Western mo
tions ever dreamed of. When a man Is
sick they make an effigy of him by
clothing a bamboo branch with his
clothes. The head of the figure Is repre
sented by a mirror, and with this con
trivance they parade around the house
where the patient Is dylngor is supposed
to be dying. The theory Is that the
fleeting spirit, seeing his face in the
mirror, mny return to claim his gar
ments and reanimate his body. By
this, the dreamer In search of " affini
ties must conclude that the spiritualistic
"materializing" mediums among us
are of Chinese stock in ways that are
dark. '
A Chinese garden is a labyrinth of
crooked paths and abrupt turns. The
theory of this Is that, ns the evil spirits
are continually in pursuit of men, they
are to lie kept out of the house by an
ingenious distribution of impediments
and involution of foot-paths. Among
the Chinese legends (here is a period
mentioned when these demons were so
audacious that a man could not trust
his wife, or a woman her husband out
of Bight, for the demons assumed the
shape of and semblance of mortals, and
when a man's wife left him, he was
never sure that the demon would not
borrow her aspect and form to pay him
a visit. To counteract this unpleasant
personation, when friends separated they
exchanged private tokens, and no wife
or husband would be welcomed home
without the production of the ticket.
The Chinese have a proverb to-duy, " If
your ticket be lost you are helpless." It
must be admitted that the people who
could Invent such a test of Identity had
a very mean notion of demoniac sagacity.
Modern evil runs especially in the line
of counterfeiting tickets, and especially
such as represent value.
Among the secrets of money-getting
it is said that the ghost of a cat is the
most capital agent for appropriating the
property of others. The cat is to be
hung till dead, and the family desiring
the assistance of the defunct puss go
Into mourning for her for seven weeks.
Then a memorial tablet of puss is hung
up and worship paid to it. A small bag
is placed near the tablet, and in the
night the cat or her ghost goes and fills
it. The bag Is next day opened over a
large empty chest and enough rice or
peas runs out to fill a wagon. Of course
the envious neighbors say, this must be
the way in which some people get rich.
There can be no other tnode of account-
M for It.
How a Ulall lildV miss gelling rich, is
Illustrated In tlie story" of a butcher. A
stranger asked him what he would take
for tlie behcii on which the meat lay.
iter, sushettinct fun, answered seventy-
BVe dollars ( fifty taels). The money
vvS offered, but the butcher thinking
tht!e was more money in the bench
Wtan he was aware of, flew froto. his
bargain, and put the bench away In &
safe place to wait for a rise in the
market. The purchaser calls again af
ter a year's Interval, but the botcher has
now become on offerer with 'no taker.
For he is informed that there was a
snake in the bench with a jewel in its
mouth. The snake lived on the blood
from the raw meat, which soaked
through the wood, arid must be dead
after a year's fasting. T?6 improved. The
butcher splits his bench and finds the
dead snake, with the Jwel'turned to a
dead fish's eye. The rough mode of in
vestigation results, likcsome others, in
a return of " no assets.'
An Esquimaux 'Wedding. '
SHORTLY there entered, in perfect
silence, cortege drawing a doa-sled.
in which was seated the high priest of
the tribe, and a more Villainous-looking
object I never beheld. He was stripped
to the waist and smeared with oil and
colorlngtnatrer in"trtrip8, which gave
him the appearance of a Chinese Joss.
On his head was a tiara of bear's claw,
surmounted by an enormous polar bear's
head. On his shoulders were placed
erect on end two large walrus tusks,
fancifully decorated with strips of red
flannel, which had been obtained from
the clothing of a drowned sailor washed
ashore. The lower part of his body was
covered with otter skins, over which
were spread number of young seals,
all alive and barking. In the right hand
he held a sjiear, which he waved aloft in
a theatrical manner, while with his left
he motioned to the bride and groom
to approach him. The whole concourse
arose, and with shouts of glndness caper
ed around the priest's chariot. This he
submitted to for a space of ten minutes,
and then, Imperiously waving his spear
commanded silence. The groom was
now directed to prostrate himself upon
the earth on his back and the bride di
rected to place her right foot upon bis
throat, which she evidently did with re
luctance While in this position the
priest Instructed the groom that such
was to be bis fate, trodden under foot
by men, should he ever prove untrue to
his plighted troth. He was then per
mitted to rise and directed to approach
the old chief, who placed a spear ut his
breast, telling him it would be his doom
should he prove untrue. He was next
directed to his father, who, producing a
flsh line, informed him he would choke
to death his oflsprlng should he prove
unfaithful. Then, to cap the climax, he
was directed to fuce the entire tribe, who,
brandishing their spears, yelled at the
top of their voices vengeance on him in
the event of unfuithfulness. At this
Juncture the groom, apparently over
come with emotion, dropped on the
ground, and bowing his head to the
earth, cried: "I will be true," until
raised to his feet by the bride. San

What Came of Pricking a Finger.
Mr. Edison gives the following ac
count of the invention of his wonder
ful Instrument, the " phonograph," an
apparatus that takes a permanent mould
of a person's voice, and will reproduce
the same voice and tones at any time
afterwards :
The matter in which the principle of
the speaking phonograph was discover
ed is this : " I was singing to the mouth
piece of a telephone, when the vibra
tions of the voice sent the fine steel
point into my finger. That set me to
thinking. If I could record the actions
of the point, and send the point over
the same surface afterward, I saw no
reason why the thing would not talk. I
tried the experiment first on a strip of
telegraph paper, and found that the
point made an alphabet. I shouted the
words ' Halloo 1 halloo 1' into the
mouth-piece, ran the paper back over
the steal point, and heard a faint ' Hal
loo! halloo!' In return. I determined
to make a machine that would work
accurately, and gave my assistants in
structions, telling them what I had dis
covered. They laughed at me. That
piqued me a little, and I told them that
I would give them two dollars a piece if
I didn't make it work the first time
without a break. I tried it and succeed
ed. That's the whole story. The dis
covery came through the pricking of
the finger."
Beading this, one cannot help recall
ing what the witch in " Macbeth,"
"By the pricking of my thumbs.
Some one wicked this way comes,"
Only Mr. Edison's parody would pro
bably be "useful" in the place of
" wicked.,'".
The Best Sewing Maehinfl.
The Very best sewing machine a man
can have is a good wife. It is one that
requires but a kihd word to set it in mo
tion, rarely gets out of repair, makes
but little noise, Is seldom the cause of
dust an'd, 'once in motion, will go on
uninterruptedly for hours without the
Slightest trimming, or the smallest
Supervision being necessary. It will
make shirts, darn stockings, sew on
buttons, mark pocket handkerchiefs,
cut out pinafores and manufacture
children's frocks out of any old thing
you may give it ; and this it will do be
hind your back Just as well as before
your face. In fact, you may leave the
bouse for days, and It will go on work
ing just the same. If it does get out of
order a little, from being overworked,
it mends Itself by being left alone for a
short time, after which it returns to its
sewing with greater vigor than ever.
Of course sewing machines vary a great
deal. Borne are much quicker than
others. It depends In a vast measure
upon the particular pattern you select.
If you are fortunate in picking out the
choicest pattern of a wlfe-ne, for in
stance, that sings whilst working, and
seems to be never so happy as when
the husband's linen is in band the
sewing machine may be called perfect
of its kind ; so much so, that there is
no makeshift, in . the . world that can
possibly replttce It, either for love or
money. In short, no gentleman's en.
tabllsliment Is complete without one -of
these sewing machines, in the house.
Why a Sohool Master Went Abroad.'
A Virginia City man" who formerly
taught school In the Honey Lake Val
ley ,has been telling Dan. lie Quille why
he left that rural region. While em
ployed as teacher it seems he "boarded
round," and one night, while at the
house of an old ranchman, gave one f
the boys some extra lessons In geogra.
piy.
The old man overhead him telling the
boy that the earth turned around once
In twenty-four hours, and " kicked"
against It. He said he had heard such
stuff talked, but there was nothing in
it, as he could prove. He filled a tin
cup with water and set it on top of his
gate-poBt saying :
"Now, young fellow, If the world
flops over as you say, the water will be
all out of the cup la the morning, and
you will be right; If the water Is still In
the cup, I'll be right, and the world
don't flop over."
The water was found In the cup, and
the old man triumphantly exclulrned :
" Thar, give me common sense any
time against book lurnln'."
Word went forth to the neighborhood
that the teacher was an Ignoramus, and
he was Invited to take a walk. A re
porter asked the teacher if that was the
only reason for bouncing him. He said
that It was not, that he had Incurred the
deadly hostility of one of the school
trustees by laughing uproariously at a
question put by the old man. The hon
est furmer got hold of his son's geogra
phy, it appears, and there had rend
that the earth had a rotary motion.
He called on the school masterto ease
his mind In regard to an agricultural
problem this had suggested.
, " Say, perfess,"' ho remarked, "I've
been a readin' in Tom's joggeify that the
arth hez got a rot-tatory motion, and I
thought I'd jest ax you ef maybe that
wasn't the cause of the pertaty rot'i"'
A Strange Viston.
An optical illusion or mirage was seen
by three or four farmers two miles from
I'arkersburg, W. V., a few days since,
the appearance of which no one is able
philosophically to account for. The facts
are these : A man while ploughing In
a field with several others, about 7 I'.
M., happened to glance towards the sky,
which was cloudless, and saw apparent
ly about half a mile oft in a westerly
direction an opaque substance resem
bling a white horse, neck, limbs and tail
clearly defined, swimming in the clear
atmosphere. It appeared to be moving
its limbs as if engaged in swimming,
moving its head from side toside,always
ascending at an angle of about 4-3 de
grees. He rubbed bis eyes to convince
himself that he was not dreaming, and
looked again, but there it still was still
apparently swimming and ascending in
ether. He called to the men about one
hundred yards off and them to look up
and tell him what they saw. They de
clared they saw a white horse swimming
in the sky and were badly frightened.
Our informant, neither superstitious nor
nervous, sat down and watched the
phantom (if we may so call It) until it
disappeared in space, always going in
the same direction and moving in the
same manner. No one can account for
the mirage or illusion except upon the
uneven state of the atmosphere. Illu
sions of a different appearance have been
seen at different times in the same vicin
ity, frightening the superstitious and
jaugnea at oy me sceptical.
