To Remove Dandbcff.?Yolk of egg rubbed irt thoroughly, a little at a time, will remove all dandruff and leave the hair like silk ; afterward wash the head in clean water. cnear Paint.?Cheap paint for rough woodwork or fences is made-of six pounds of melted pitch, one pint of linseed oil, and one pound of brick dust or yellow och^r. It is excellent, and will stand for years. Ointment fou Pimples.?Purified lard, one ounce ; citron ointment, one rt iMinAoo All AHA-lldlf i?uv4 n uan wnuvt/O j uimvuu v**j v**v ounce. Mix all well together, and scent with oil of borgamot. Apply at night on going to bed; if applied also dnring the day the relief will be more speedy. To Wash Lace.?Cover a quart bottlo with linen, then wrap your laoe around tho bottle, being careful to keep the pearl edge out smooth. You may put on several layers of lace. Then cover the wholo with another pieoe of linen sewed on tightlv so as to keep the lace smooth. Wash the bottle and its coverings in suds, rubbing with the palm of the hand, then boil with the other clothes on washing day ; blue, and stiffen with thin starch. Tie a string around tho neck of the bottle and hang it up to dry. When quite dry, rip off the outside linen and your lace will be fnnnil r?1oan anil umrinfl) To Whiten- a WaxjU?If the ceiling is very smooth, use calcimine, made as follows : Take fonr pounds of pans white, put in a pail, cover it with water, and let it stand over night; put into a tin kettle a handfnl of glue, cover with cold water ; in the morning set the glue ou the stove, and add enough warm water to make a quart, and stir until dissolved ; add the glue to the paris white, stir well, and pour in enough warm water to make a pail three-quarters full; then add blueing, a little lime ; stir well until it is very slightly blueish. Use a good brush ; go over one place in the wall until thoroughly wet; if your brush dries quickly add more warm water ; the mixture. is too thick ; the brush must be kept wet. But if .your ceiling is slightly rough, use the mixture without the glue, as the -glue will not work on a rough ceiling. If very rough and looking as if it would, peel off, go over it simply with ten cents1 worth of powdered alum, dissolved in two quarts of water. This will remove the superfluous lime "and leave your ceiling white. Always use the calcimine with glue on j the sides of a wall, as it does not rub off. To Manaxe the Potato Beetle. C. W., Plymouth,Ind., writes : "Recently a member of the Farmer's club suggested a remedy for potato bugs. We out West here have been tormented (this is the seventh year) with these pests, but are getting used to them. I find tham this year as Dlenty in my gar-1 L .1 1 1 ? J ! aeu as ever oerore, uui itsar uu iruuuio from them by using the following remedy : Place a teaspoonful or pure paris green in an ordinary watering pot hold-' ing one bucket of water, then sprinkle the vines with it, and my word for it the bugs will be dead within twelve hours, or as soon as they eat a particle of the leaves. I have tried'paris green mixed with ashes, lime,, flour and plaster, and they all hurt the vines more or less, but the water seems to do good rather than hurt. Again, the impression was with us here that to handle the old or young bugs by picking them from the vines was poisonous or injurious, but it is not ' so. My fowls will eat them as readily as corn, but I keep tl'rn shut up on account of injuring other garden stuff." Upon the same subject J. F. writes: "Will you publish the followingjplan for the destruction of the potato bug for the benefit of potato growers, viz.: Keep the rows or hills clear of weeds, and in the hottest part of the day brush them off into the Bpace between the rows. I have never had occasion to go more than three times through mine for the last two years. I learned of this plan at that time from a person who had been visitiDg in Grant county, Wis., and who had seen it tried on a number of acres. All the farmers in that locality have adopted this plan. It is far ahead of paris green. Remarks.?This plan will be effective chiefly for the larvse, which are somewhat sluggish and cannot stand the scorching effect of a hot sun upon a heated soil. .They ore baked to dfattx when, brushed o?^ as above stated.

Leverett Saltonstall, of Massachusetts, reports that he finds no more difficulty in transplanting hioko-1 ries than any other trees, if they have been transplanted when young, and this is the experience of nurserymen. He also says that the hickory tree will fruit In fifteen years from planting. Unless great care is used, butter is always of different colors before the first working (after salting). Some portions will have little or no salt, and be of a lighter color, and the dairy woman should work so as to mix these portions with that thoroughly salted, or she will have streaky rolls or tubs of butter. A very little care, when working the second time, will prevent this result. Every farmer should gather a quantity of road dust during the dry sum mer weather, which will be found very useful for the fowls to dust themselves in during the winter to rid themselves of vermin, also for applying to cattle when troubled that way. It is an excellent disinfectant for privies, and one of the best things to use* in earth closets in the winter. A Toothful Judge. A little iccollection of the Commune was recently evoked at Paris, when Armand de Barral, a young man of twentyone, was brought before a police tribunal. In M.iy, 1871, then a boy of sixteen, he was made a police magistrate by the Communists; on the capture of Paris by the Versailles troops he fled to England and Germany. In March, 1872, he was sentenced, ifa his absence, to five years' imprisonment and five years' eurveiliance, but he was not arrested till June, 1876. He did not deny his identity, or the fact that he had sorved on the iudiciary of the Commune, but he insisted that, being known to Raoul Rigault, Daoosta and other Communist leaders, he did not dare to refuse to become their instrument. Unhappily for thif? righteous judge, this excellent young man, it was shown that he had signalized his accession to power by imprisoning citizens right and left, and treating those who incurred his boyish displeasure with great severity; further, that finding himself indifferently lodged, at his office, he.seized and appropriated to his own uftes the chambers of the Cour de Cessation, and the result of the trial was his sentence to two years' imprisonment. "These are only volunteers?not regular soldiers," said Gen. Sherman to Prince Oscar in Philadelphia, when three of the militiamen fell off their horses. INCH ENTS OF GEN. CUSTER. Am a Disciplinarian and the manner In wblch be Treated hla Men. General Custer's war record, says a correspondent, opened with the war. His acquaintance with Michigan soldiers began several month#after the first voli unteers bad fougfct on the battle line and come to realize what war was. The First, Fifth, Sixth nnd Seventh regiments of cavalry were raised at the same time, brigaded together, and on reaching Washington wore ordered to report to General Custer. "And who is General Custer?" was the query between man and man and from camp to camp. We had not heard of him. If he hai made a name it was not in the papers. There was considerable dissatisfaction among the enlisted men, who felt and hoped that such a brigade of picked men ought to be commanded by some one to give it a good fighting record. 1 TT7~ nMOlnw ft fV*in TPQiofii^ 'smiTl YV O BttW UUOITO1 n vuiu nutuwu, die bodied" young man, with long yellow hair falling down to his shoulders, a pleasant mouth, and nothing to mark him from other men but an eye that seemed to look through and through a man. "He's no fighter!" "He can't fight!" " He's a regular dandy I" Such expressions as above quoted were heard through the camps, but those who uttered them were soon made to retract their words. The brigade knew what drill was;) but when Custer took command he put the men through as farmers work to save grain from an approaching thunder - vi.. iL. ~ | storm. He seemed to liiie uw umucio and the looks of the men, and wliile he worked to make us worthy of his lead we felt that we must work to be worthy of such a commander. One month under Custer made every horse a machine and every man an automaton. One day a trooper, whose joints were stiff and whose bones ached from riding an ugly horse, fell out of his set of fours on drill and declared that he would be shot before he would drill another half hour. He was on his way to the guard house 'when Cnster rode up, ordered his release and- requested his presence at headquarters. The sulky tempered trooper followed the general, wondering if ho was not to be placed over against the fence and shot. Ouster had far different intentions. Bidding the trooper sit down, the general calmly inquired: " Why do you refuse to drill ?" " Because I am tired out and shaken up, and I know.all about every drill." " When I took this brigade," said the i general, " I thought I knew just how to command it. I have learned something new every day. I shall always be learning. If you refuse to drill all others | will coon refuse. Then discipline will 1 nnrl in Anr > reiax, men uuu uuioco luigcu, uuu u | first action we shall be cut to pieces for j want of intelligent manuevering. I want j you to be a man, and yet you must be a | machine to obey." j The soldier waa silent. f. "I ride five miles to your one," con! tinned the general. " I sleep three or four hours ; you sleep seven or oight. I have 4,000 men to care for ; yon have only your horse. I have a thousand I complaints to listen to , you have none. ' I have five times your work, fare no betj ter, and will be shot as soon as you are. If I take all this burden and trouble and hard worn upon my shoulders are you not willing to bear a trifle ?" The trooper returned to his saddle. One day, a year afterward, he died before Custer's eyes, died so bravely that the general 6aid of him : "An army like that man could conquer the world." Adulterating Silks. Tears ago dyers discovered the bad art of adding largely to the weight of silk in coloring it. At first this was confined to making good a portion of the ! loos of weight which takes place wnen gummy substancep aud other impurities are removed from raw silk. The removal of these reduces the weight in some instances as much as one-fourth. If we may believe recent assertions in j French journals, the resources of modern chemistry have enabled unscrupulous European dyers to increase the weight of their silk out of all proportion by removing the gum. By adding salts of iron aud tin?among the latter the cyanides, which are deadly poisons? they have latterly increased the weight of ! silk goods 100, 200, and even 300 per I cent. This exceeds by two or three times the worst instances of the fraud hitherto on record. Oi course this extreme debasement is only practicable with i black silks. Thus treated, they have luster and apparent body as well as weight; but the unfortunate wearer of the goods is surprised at the rapidity with which they go to pieces. A few years ago two or three cases of spontaneous combustion occurred in Paris with these weighted silks, the chemicals having changed the goods to a sort of tinder. The practice has not been unknown among the manufacturers of silks in this country ; but many of the leading houses have abandoned it and pride themselves on the pure dye of American silks, which now surpass those made abroad in permanency and brilliance of color as well as in strength for wear. In the Dark. ^ Daring the great storm in Ohio a train of cars ran into a tunnel near North Bend, in which the water was so deep that it put out the fire in the locomotive, and over a hundred passengers were imprisoned. Another train would be due in an hour, and it was necessary that somebody should get out of the tunnel and reach a neighboring signal to prevent a terrible disaster. The water was about four feet deep and ruuning swiftly. A young man, whose name is not given, in the Cincinnati Times' account fni* fVkCk yi l/iir TW1UUWVV1VU vuw exploit. The total darkness increased the danger, and the distance was an eighth of a mile. The young man removed his boots and coat and plunged in. The current carried him along, and he easily kept his head above water, although collisions against the rocky sides | of the tunnel nearly disabled him, but ; he made the passage and stopped the ! threatening train. In the meantime the I passengers in the tunnel were trembling | with hope and fear, and the suspense I was not relieved until, several hours laj ter, the water subsided, the fire in tha I locomotive was rekindled, and their i journey -was contiuned. ? Fixing a Responsibility. A deplorable accident, resulting in j the death oi twenty-one persons and the j wounding of forty-nine more, which ! happened on one of the Spanish failj ways between Cervera and Tarrega on the twenty-first of June, has been followed up by the introduction in the Cortes of a bill providinc: that whenever a railroad disaster can bo distinctly traced to negligence .or bad management on the part of the company or its servants, the company shall be compelled to pay a fine of 815,000 to the family of every person who is killed, and a fine of 87,000 to the family of every person incapacitated for labor, ' and to pay 35 ft 'day to every wounded person so long as he or she may be compelled to be abed under surgical care. This stringent measure was introduced by Senor Fernandez Oadorniga and seems likely enough to become the law in Spain. It will strike all railroad stockholders no doubt as harsh and I severe. But if it should pass we suspect I there will not be many railway accidents j in Spain. / A Centennial Trip. The members of the New York 8t.ite Press Association will visit Philadelphia the latter part of August, devoting a few days to sight-seeing. The party will i consist only of the members of the Association and their friends. This trip will take in a visit to Mauch Chunk and the Pennsylvania coal fields. It will be under the more immediate charge of the notable newspaper guide, Ed. Parker, of the Geneva Gazette, and there is little doubt with so capital a guide the press party will have a season of enjoyment, as w@U as one of infonftation. THE IRONCLAD DISASTER. The Kncllah Steamer Thunderer Explodes a Boiler with Frightful Lois of Life. The following is from Portsmouth in regard to the disaster on board of the Thunderer, while that ironclad was making a trial trip. Twenty-five of the crew are dead. The bodies arc shockingly mutilated, the flesh being stripped from the limbs by the escaping steam. The forward stokehole,-where the explosion of the boiler took place, is divided from the after stokehole by watertight bulkheads. The stokers in the latter were protected from t the fragments caused by the explosion, but were literally boiled alive by tho steam. The Thunderer is one of the four largest and most heavily armed vessels in the British navy. The first two ves- ^ sels built of this class, the most powerful men-of-war yet built, were the Thunderer and its sister vessel, the Devastation, both launched in 1872. The Thunderer is 285 feet long, sixty-two feet three inches broad, the draught forward twenty-five feet Dine inches, and aft twenty-six feet six inches. This enormous draught is made necessary by the weight of armament both defensive and offensive, and effectually prevents the entrance of the vessel into many harbors, while eminently fitting it for coast dofense upon a stormy shore like that of England. The guns, four in nnmbfir. consist of thirtv-tive-ton Beven hundred pounder breach loaders, mounted in two turrets, and are loaded and aimed by machinery, au unusually small number of men being needed to superintend the motions of the turret and its guns, a weight of over 250 tons. The two turrets stand upon ft deck given up at sea to the waves, the engines and quarters being all below the water lino. Between the two turrets, however, is a spacious hurricane or flying deck, twenty-four feet above water, on which the boats are stowed and to which all openings from the hold are carried. The armor on tHe vessel is irom ten, twelve to fourteen inches thick, the thickest being on the turret, the next on the sides of the vessel, and the thinnest on the sloping deck. The two turrets are not placed directly in line upon the deck, but stand each a little one side of the center of the hull, and gain in this way an advantage in a raking fire, as well as providing a wider raDge to either turret in case the other is disabled and becomes motionless. As the peculiar construction of the vessel enables the guns and most of the plating to be kept I close to the water line, a greater stability is obtained than can exist in ordinary armor plated vessels. The Thunderer has a nominal burden of 4,406 tons and displaces or weighs 9,107 tons. Her Bpeed averages thirteen knots an hour, and the vessel has two independent screws and two sets of engines, one under each turret?the boiler forward having exploded in the present instance ?and carryirg 1,600 tons of coal, or enough for a sea voyage of 6,000 miles. The vessel, like most turreted men-ofwar, is mastless, and intended principally for coast defense, though able to take an ocean voyage. As the vessel has been in commission over three years, during that time being a member of the channel squadron, it is probable that renairfl to its boilers have been found necessary and that the accident occurred in a trial trip over the course usually selected by British vessels. A Savage Spectacle. On the morning following the fight which Gen. Crook had with the Indians, a correspondent says, as the column was moving from the place of bivouac, there suddenly arose among the red allies with the troops n singular excitemrnt. , One of them had ridden up to a dark objeot lying beside the stream, and sat and gazed at it, and after others had toined him, they sat and chattered as wildly together as the South American monkeys when they discover the propinquity of a snake. After gestures and yells they dismounted and brandished knives. Approaohing them, I beheld lying on the fresh, dewy grass, under the gentle shadow of a stooping willow, the most horrible object that could meet the eye. A dusky human form," nude and blood-besmeared, was writhing under the knives of the merciless victors. This object was a Sioux who, in the latter part of the fight, had been wounded by a Snake, soalped and loft for dead, in tearing tne tine of raven hair from his head a portion of the bone, fractured -with a stroke of the tomahawk, had clung to the flesh, and the brain was laid bare. And yet, in ( the morning, the savage was still alive, and hearing the tramp of horses and believing his tribe had beaten the whites, he had crawled out of the gully in which he lay and* called, "Minne I " (water) to a Crow who had passed and who he undoubtedly thought was a Sioux. The Crow turned, and his 'face kindled with a fearful joy, Sir shots were fired into the prostrate figure. The head and limbs were severed from the bod? and the flesh hacked and the bones hewn until there was nothing about it recognizable as human. ^Infamies too shameful and disgusting for record completed the ghastly climax of horror. It was an illustration of the fiendish ferocity of aH the Plains Indians towards their foes. The Sioux practice even more refined barbarities, torturing their victims in the most exquisite manner and making them more dreadful by deferring, by every art in their power, the welcome relief of death. . Early in the Morning. The man who can build a fire in the morning, not spill any ashes, nor make gridirons on his face with soot, and repeat the ten commandments, while^ his wife yells down stairs: " Don't forget to fill the teakettle." "Don't put too much ooal on." "Turn the damper down." "Shut the stair door." "Don't make Buch a horrid racket." " Now get mad and smash the lids." " Set"the chairs all back." " Spread something over the yeast." " Let the poor cat out." " Open the door; you're filling the house full of smoke." " Look if the milkman has come." " Don't break all the dishes in the house." " Is that fire burning yet ?' " Oh, clear out; I'd rather make the fire three times myself. A man can never do anything without getting mad and turning the house upside down;" need have do feara that there is anything else in this world that can make him forget his early Sundayschool training. Giving Him Time. Tom Howard kept a gunshop in the town of Riverside. Tom was a firstclass workman, but distressingly dilatory in the dispatch of business. He would meet his patrons with a positive promise, which he would renew mouth after month, until at length his shop became an armory of unfinished rifles and fowling pieces. One day his neighbor Smith, who had suffered repeatedly by Tom's habit of procrastination, entered his shop. "Tom," said he, "I want you to make a gun for my little boy?a small, well finished piece, and as light in the barrel as will be consistent with safety." " Oh, yes," said Tom, "I will make it immediately. You shall have it at once. But, by-the-way, how old is the boy?" "Well, as to that," replied Smith, "the boy ifl not born yet, but I thought I had better get the gun under way." A Wife In a Well. Recently Mrs. C. L. Applegate, living at Toms River, wont to the well, and, becoming dizzy, fell in. When her husband returned to dinner ho was surprised to see no signs of life about the kitchen, and searched every part of the house for his wife. When passing the well, which is thirty feet deep, he heard his wife call: "Charley, I am in the well." He soon drew her up with the windlass, and found that she had fallen in several hours before, and had been standing on tiptoe to keep her head out of the water, waiting for him to come. She said she was nearly frozen, as her 1 whole body was In the water, and it was only by laying her head back that she oould breathe without drawing in a monthful of water. StraDge to say, she was not hurt by the fall, although she went down head first. GEN. CROOK'S FIGHT. RecklessncuM of the 8lonx~Waite of A m inanition on Both Sides. The Denver (Col.) News prints a let ter, dated at Camp Cloud Peak, Wyoming, which gives an interesting account of Gen. Crook's recent battle with the Indians. The writer sajs : The Sioux were all spiendidly mounted, and so long as pressed did much of their liring on horseback. Some of the most reckless feats of equestrianism imaginable were performed by them within range of the broadside of an entire com pany. In numerous instances one or two warriors dashed out from behind their cover of rocks, hugged close to the neck of the pony and half bounded, half tumbled down the nearly vertical bankB after a bold Crow, Snake or white skir-' mistier, delivered a shot or two, and like a flash disappeared in spite of volleys sent after him. Up hill or down, over rocks, through canyons, and in every conceivable dangerous condition of affairs their brer.kneck riding was accomplished. One reckless brave got badly pressed by the cavalry, at a certain point in the field, and jerking out his bowie knife he slashed apart his saddle girth, slipped it with all its trappings from under him while his pony was at full speed, and thus unencumbered made his escape. So olosely did the Indians approach our skirmishers at times that they inflicted several wounds with battle axes, lances and arrows, and in one or two instances they closed in on a brave soldier and got his scalp before comrades could rush forwrrd to the rescue. They repeatedly courted death by endeavoring to secure the bodies*of their own dead,. One instance of this kind was plainly visible to most of us. An Indian riding along the bluff was, with his pony, made the target for dozens of rifles, and rider, pony and all finally tumbled head over heels down the hillside. Two braves immediately sallied forth for the body of their defunct brother, but one of them also fell before it was reached. The other seemed to think one live Indian better than two dead ones, and hastily scrambled back. Another wairior met him, however, and persuaded him to go along on a second trial. About the time the bodies were reached a pony was shot, and both Indians, then thoroughly demoralized, m de for cover and reached it in safety. One thing is an absolute certainty, and that is the fact that the Sioux had staked a great deal on this battle, and that their fighting was consequently little less thai savage frenzy or the fighting of demons. ton fliATioon/^ \J LLL Ul UUJJO 1UCU UVDi IOU uuuuoauu rounds of ammunition, and it is believed that the Sioux discharged from a third to a half more. Behind a ledge of rocka from where a band of them fired for a little over half an hour, about a peck of cartridge shells were found, and other plaoes of concealment were strewn with them almost as thickly. Many of these were the long, nard shooting Sharps, which show another decided advantage they have over our troops. But the marvel of it is how so much ammunition could be expended with so little loss of life to our force. Dodging and skulking and scattering out, as the savages always do, we could not expect to hand them a very long mortality list, but not possessing that snake-like, weasel-like faculty of being where we are not, or not being just where we are supposed to be, it is hard to see why an average Indian marksman could not kill but once in a thousand shots., A Bold Robbery. The most daring railroad robbery on record was perpetrated recently on the Missouri Pacific railroad, a short dis; tance east c lOtterville, Mo. From the ' account of tie outrage published, it appears that tho whole affair was deliberately planned and successfully executed by about a dozen masked ruffians, who obstructed the track in a cutting, stopped the train by a signal light, and after robbing the express company's safes of about sixteen thousand dollars in money aud valuables decamped with their prize. No resistance was offered by either tho train officials or the passengers, who wore completely overawed by the pistols of the band of masked robbers. An active pursuit after the gang has been instituted from several points, and there are some hopes of their capture, but, we fear, not without loss of life to the pursuing parties. The affair is somewhat similar to the recent robbery of a mail coach, filled with well armed passengers, in Texas, when the only one who escaped loss was a plucky little woman who defied the robbers.

A Thread Telegraph, A cheap tolegraph, useful for certain purposes, can bo made in this way: Take two tin cylinders about the size of a small dice box, eay three inches long by one and one-quarter inches diameter; cover one end of each with parchment or bladder, forming a drumhead. Pierce the center with a pin find insert a strong thread, and make a knot to prevent its being withdrawn. "With the other end of the thread (which may be of any length, say 100 yards or more) do likewise with the other cylinder, and the telegraph is complote. By keeping the thread tightly drawn, in order that the vibration may be perfect, a person speaking or even whispering in one cylinder can be distinctly heard by another holding the other cylinder to the ear.

An Old Farmer and hla Wile Gafged and III Treated?Twenty Tabs of Butter and a Horse and Wa*on Mtoler?Recovery oi the Property. Jared "Weils and his wife, old people, live on a farm three miles from Port Hiokson, Pa., on the main road. Their son, John Wells, lives a mile farther on. Dnring the day three men, decently dressed, stopped at the farm and asked for something to eat. Mrs. Wells gave them a good dinner. The men were good talkers, and as they ate obtained of the old lady the information that she and her hnsband lived alone; that they made and shipped qnite an amount of butter from their farm, and that there was then forty tubs in the cellar to be sent away next day. The men went on their way after finishing their meal. About ten o'clock at night old Mr. Wells was awakened by a loud knock at the front door. He got up and asked: " Who is there ?" Some one replied: " John." The old farmer, supposing it was his son, who was on his way home from the village, opened the door. Three men instantly lushed into the room, and he was knocked down, bound and gagged before he could say a word. Mrs. Wells was also secured in the same manner. The men then ransacked the house from garret to cellar. From the latter place Mr. and Mrs. Wells could hear them rolling tubs of butter up the steps outside. When they had seoured what plunder they oould the men shut and locked the door of the house and left without saying a word to the helpless old couple. Shortly afterward a wagon drove up to the door. Into this the farmer and his wife could hear them loading the batter, and in a few minutes it rumbled off down the road. About ten o'clock next morning John Wells, the son, drove up to the old people's house to load up the butter that was ready for shipment. He was compelled to burst open the door to get in the house, where he found his father and mother lying on the floor as they had been left by the thieves. Ho removed their bonds and gags as soon as possible, but they wero so ill from their long suffering that it was some time before they could give any explanation of their condition. It was then discovered that the thieves had secured $75 in money, and had taken the twenty tubs of butter. They had driven away with these in a one-horse wagon. While these discoveries were being made, Walter Jackson, ajfarmer, living a mile and a half back in.the hills, drove up and said that his barn had been entered the night be ond T-nhho/1 r>t <1 vnlnfthlft VfYnilff horse, together with harness anil a light spring wagon. It was plain that the horse thieves were the same that had committed the robbery at Wells'. Parties were sent as soon as possible to look for traces of the thieves in all directions. Abont noon they got a track of the men in the road leading from the mine road to Millerville. They were followed to that place, five miles distant, nnd almost the first object seen on mtering the village was Jackson's hor&o uua wagon standing in front of a tavern. The butter had been removed from the wagon. The constable entered the tavern, where he learned from the landlord that the horse and wagon had been left tied in front of the house early in the forenoon by three men, who entered the barroom, took a drink and walked out, fcince which time they had not pnt in an appearance. They were strangers, but their movements had created no suspioion. Soon afterward Wells learned that a grooeryman had that morning purchased a number of tubs of butter. These proved to be the twenty tubs stolen from the old farmer. The store keeper said that a man had diiven up to his store about eight o'clo"k in the morning with the butter. L o said that he lived back of the mine road, and that he had made a trade with old Mr. Wells of some farm implements for the bntter. He wanted to sell it, and Crozier bonght the lot, paying the stranger, who gave his name as Williams, nearly 8200 in cash. Crozier had also agreed to return the tnbs as soon as empty to Mr. Wells. He had not the slightest suspicion that i the butter had been stolen, the man's manner was so assuring and his statements so cironmstantial. The parties had evidently been smart onough not to offer the horse and wagon for sale anywhere. No trace of them has been found since they left the tavern. Great is not great to the greater. "Pet" Names In Public. Lord DufFerin, in an address before the female normal sohool in Quebec the other day, said : I observe that it is an almost universal practice upon this con tinent, even on publio occasions, in prize lists, roll-calls, and in the intercourse of general society for yonng ladies to be alluded to by their casual acquaintances, nay even in the newspapers, by what in the old country we would call their " pet" names?that is to say, those caressing^ soft appellations of endearment with which their fathers and brothers, and those which are nearest to them, strive to give expression to the yearning affection felt for them in the home circle. .Now, it seems to me to be a monstrous sacrilege, and quite incompatible with the dignity and self-respect due to the daughters of our 1-1 J* !1L 1.1. _ tana, auu witu iiw vuivuuuuo lovcicutc with which they should be approached, even in thought, that the tender, love invented nomenclature of the fireside should be bandied about at random in the mouths of every empty headed Tom, Dick and Harry on the street whose idle tongue may choose to babble of them. For instance, in the United States, before her marriage, I'observed that Miss Grant, the daughter of the occupant of the most august position in the world, was generally referred to in the newspapers as "Nellie," as though theparagraphist who wrote the item had been her playfellow from, infancy ; and even Lady Duflferin," I see, has become " Kate " in the elegant phraseology of a United States ([magazine?though how Kate could have been elicited from her excellency's real christian name I don't know. Of course, this is a small matter to which I have alluded, but it is not without significance when regarded as a national characteristic..;; At our request Oragin & Go., of Philadelphia, Pa., have promised to send I any of our readers, gratis (on receipt of fifteen cents to pay postage,) a sample of Dobbins' Electric Soap to try.

July 8,1871. R. V. Pierce. M. D., Buffalo. N. Y.:?I wish to add my testimony to the wonderful curative properties of your Alt. Est, or Golden Medical Discovery. I have taken great interest in this medicine since 1 first used it. I was badly afflicted with dyspepsia, liver deranged and an almost perfect prostration of the nervous system. So rapid and complete did the Discovery effect a perfect cure that it seemed more like magio and a perfect wonder. to myself, aud since that time we have nexer been without a bottle of Discovery and Purgative Pellets in the house. They are a solid, sound f&mily physician in the bonse and ready at all times to fly to the relief of sickness?without change. We have never had a 'doctor in the houue; since we first begun the use of your Pellets and Discovery. I have recommended the me of these medicines in several severe and complicated cases arising from, as I thought, an impure state of the blood, and in no one case have they failed to more than accomplish all they are olaimed to do. I will only mention one as remarkable (though I oonld givo you dozens). Henry Koater, furniture dealer, of this place, who was one of the most pitiful objects ever seen, his faco swollen out of. shape, scales and eruptions without end, extending to his body, which was completely covered with blotches aud scalcB. Nothing that he took seemed to affect it a particle. I finally induced him to try a few bottles of the Golden Medical Disoovery, with daily use of the Pellet*, aBsur lug mm it wouia sureiy owe mm. an commenced its ubo some six weeks eince, taking two Pellets each night for & week, tbeu one each nijj'ht, and theDu-covor? as directed Tbe result is to day bis skin is perfectly smooth, and the scaly eruptions are gone.

A few closes will create an appetite and give fresh rigor to the enervated body. Kor dyspepsia. It Is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drags which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonlo In Its nature Is totally different from such drugs. It contains no oorroslve minerals or acids; In fact, It assists the regular _ operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles the gastric juice that It is almost Identical with that fluid. The gastric juloe Is the natural solvent whloh, in a healthy oondltlon of the body, causes the food to be digested; and when this jSice is not lncressed In sufficient Quantities, indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonlo performs the duty of the gastrio juice when the latter Is deficient. Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonlo sold by all Druggists. The Markets. nrw xuhK.
