Before Otto Bismarck had reached his seventeenth year he was at the university. He wanted to go to Heidelberg ; but his mother preferred Gottingen. She was afraid that the art of imbibing enormous tankards of beer?an art so assiduously cultivated in the former town that it may almost be said to form part of the curriculum?would become a habit with her son. " A beer-vat cannot I scale a mountain, and you have one before you, on the top of which is Fame," said she. Otto conformed to the wishes of his mother, and to Gottingen he w^at. He was by no means a strait-laced young man ; he joined in every amu^ment of ' student life, and dressed like them, adopted their tone and manners. He was foremost in freak* of all kinds, but displayed that .str^g and determination for whioi he afterward became so famous. Having bee? invited to a ball, at wiiich the prettiest girls in the town -"ere to be present, our young student orders a new pair of varnished boots for the occasion. As the eventful ^nrr /Ivnw nnoy Qn/1 Knnfo TVCXVGk Ttrtf sent home, he grew somewhat uneasy, the more as his friends kept repeating to him: "You'll not have your boots; the shoemaker disappoints every one." "I'll have them in spite of that," replied the future chancellor. The day before the entertainment Bismarck entered the shop." " And my boots ?" asks he. "I am very sorry, sir," is the reply ; " but I have so many orders on hand for to-morrow's ball?"Ah, is that it ?" cries the furious youngster; and, banging the door behind him, he leaves the house. A quarter of an hour afterward he comes back, accompanied by two of those enormous dogs which the Ge*nan students are in the habit of feeding at the expense of their association. "You see these do_gs ?" This to Crispin. "Yes." "Well, I swear that they'll tear you to pieces if you.do not send my boots by to-morr' # afternoon, five o'clock." With this he went out again. jduu a iiirtxi mail was autuuuou iu front of the dwelling, reminding the jpoor fellow at every minute : "Do not Mr. Bismarck's boots," He had o'clock "be"closed ~hia_*AJ: te?. himself to pass the nours on his stool i instead of in bis bed. Suddenly the stillness is broken by the barking of the dogs, and the voice of their master singing out: Your life is in danger ! Remember yonr family!" The following day the boots were sent home in time.? | Tinsley's Magazine. Horrible Affair at a Reformatory. An English paper says: We are informed that the most horrible discoveries I have been made in the Reformatory for l Native Boys, which is situated on a hill j about nine miles from Kingston in the I Island of Jamaica. Some time ago, under the governorship of Sir William Grey, a clergyman was appointed superintendent of the reformatory, with a salary of ?400 a year, beside a house and other perquisites. But these appear not to have been sufficient for the reverened gentleman, who applied the food allotted for the four hundred poor boyB I under his charge to fattening pigs for the I market. Meanwhile the little wretches | were starved and growing desperate? j they actually fought with the pigs for : the food thrown to them. The miserable creatures were neglected in every possible way. A nasty insect, oalled a tick, well known to every traveler in the tropics, burrowed into their feet, and, as the doctor had to look after his private patients, the wounds, which if examined iu time would have been trifling, became ko serious that amputation of toes or feet were necessary in no less than eighty cases. Starved and neglected, the lads became unruly. The offenders were then shackled together in pairs and consigned to the cells, where some were forgotten for three days and left without food or drink. All this at last came to light by mere accident. The boys were entrusted with knives to cut down some guinea grass outside, iu charge of ?ne warder only; they naturally used their liberty to satisfy the cravings of hunger by plundering the neighboring gardens. The owners did not dare to iuterfere, but reported the matter to the governor. mi.* j.~ i~: i j? xiiib i?u tu mvtjau^ttuuu iuiu xuiuriu, aii(>we understand that Lord Carnarvon has, in a strongly worded despatch, denounced this horrible affair as a disgrace to the colony and to the whole gover*raent. A Western Steamboat Calamity. The steamer Lotus, with a cargo of 1,671 bales of cotton and 525 sacks of cotton seed, from Red River for New Orleans, having reached a point opposite Waterloo, was discovered, by the engineer, to be on fire in the gangway, at the aft end of the boilers. An alarm was immediately given to the pilot, who headed the boat to shore ; but, so rapid was the progress of the flames, that the lower deck was enveloped, the steampipe burst, and the boat becoming unmanageable swung around in the middle iU ? rnu? ?v,/l U1 LUC river, 1UC ^OODCU^CJLO OXiU UD? were forced to jump into the river to escape burning. The stage-planks and jackstaff were thrown overboard, and were the means of saving many lives, The steamboat Willie was fortunately within sight coming up the river. A whistle, aB a signal for help, was blown by the Lotus, which was promptly responded to. Had it not been for this circumstance the clerk thinks few persons would have been saved. The weather was extremely oold. and the Willie preserved the lives of many who, having escaped being burned, were in imminent danger of being frozen or drowned. The cook was burned to death while holding to the stern of the boat. Peter Seagreen, a deck hand, was also burned to death, and Henry Seper, the chambermaid, ; and eight roustabouts were drowned. ; There were fifteen passengers, not one | of whom was lost, though Mrs. Massey, i of New Orleans, while escaping through ; a window over the wheel, was badly out j and bruised. The books; papers, money | and United States mail were all destroyed, also the entire baggage and clothing of passengers and crew. Capt. Daniels was severely scorched, ag were most of the saved. The clerk, Mr. Devinney and several others were rescued by means of life bo&ifc-\thrown Hill i~ STANLEY'S GRAPHIC STORY. Incidents of tils March ncross the Continent Fighting with Cannibals*?A Monster Canoe?A Temple of Ivorr. Henry M. Stanley continues his ! graphic story of African exploration in a j letter to the New York Herald. We give the most interesting incidents : On j January 4, 1877, we came to the first of ^ what proved a series of cataracts, or, to use a more correct term, falls, below the confluence of the Lum ami, and the ( Lualaba, or the Lowa, as the river was now called. Our troubles began now in earnest. We were hunted like game. J Night and day every nerve was strained , to defend ourselves. Four times on , January 4 we broke through the lineB of canoes brought out against us. and finally we were halted by the Baswa Falls. The savages seemed to think that we had no resource left but to surrender and be eaten at their leisure. Again and again were we compelled to repulse the furious charges that they made to drive us over the falls. The people of the Falls Islands also came up to assist the cannibals of Mwana Ntaba. We were at bay, and became desperate; Return we could not, as we could not pull against stream and fight. We pulled ashore first on tho right bank, then across river to the left, and made a camp in the woods, drawing our canoes and boat up after us. After constructing a fence of brush around on the forest side the best sharpshooters were placed in position for defence. After a short time the natives retired and left us to rest, j For the ensuing twenty-four days we j had fearful work, constructing camps by : night along the line marked out during | the day, cutting roads from above to below each fall, dragging our heavy canoes j during the day, while the most active of j, the young men?the boat's crew?repulsed the savages and foraged for food. , On January 27 we had passed in this desperate way forty-two geographical % miles, by six falls, and to effect it had j ? dragged our canoes a distance of thirteen j miles by land and by roads which we had | 8 | cut through the forest. Our provisions j ? i in the meantime we had to procure as : I ?/v Unof WVinn WA hft/1 P.]flfirfV? | j? WO UCOl WUA\1, II uvu Tiw . the last fall, we halted two days for rest, !, which we all very much needed, in the J passage of these falls we lo?* five men 1, only. . ! After passi*g this furies of falls we : entered upon diffe^nt scenes. The : P I river was graduuP/ widening from the ! Y I usual 1,500 to 2,000 yards breadth to j J? j two and th?re miles. It then began to j * receive grander affluents, and soon as- ! d I surocd a lacustrine breadth ftom four to j P j ten miles. Island also were so numer- i j ous that once a day were we able to ob- j r | tain a glimpse of the opposite bank. We ' a j had reached the great basin lying be- ; ? tween the maritime and lake regions, i " The first day we entered this region we | B were attacked three times by three sepa- F rate tribes ; the second day we main- 13 tained a running fight almost the entire j a day, wlrich culminated in a grand naval ? I fight at the confluence of the Aruwimi? 1 ; the Welle (?)?with the Lualaba. As 0 we crossed over from the current of 8 the Lualaba to that of the Aruwimi, and F had taken a glance at the breadfh of the ^ | magnificent affluent, we were quite taken ? j aback at the grand preparations for our ? i reception. Fifty-four canoes rushing j ? j down on us with such fury that I saw I ! J: must act at once if I wished to save the j expedition. Four of our canoes, in a J 0 i desperate fright, became panic stricken 1 8 ! and began to pull fast down stream, but j 0 hey were soon brought back. J j We dropped our stone anchors, form- ? i ed a close line and calmly waited events. c i Down the natives came, fast and furious | but in magnificient style. Everything i about them was superb. Their canoes ; were enormous things, one especially, a j monster, eighty paddlers. forty on a I side, with paddles eight feet long, spearI pointed, and really pointed with iron j blades for close quarters, I presume, i The top of each paddle shaft was adorn! ed with ivory balls. The chiefs pranced j up and down a plankiug that ran from I stem to stern. On a platform near the bow ! ! were ten choice young fellows swaying ! j their long spears ready. At the stern , of this great war canoe stood eight I steersmen, guiding her toward us. j J i There were about twenty?three-fourths j : nftfcie such air -.-fine looking, but nonejj rough guess there must have been from ;: fifteen hundred to two thousaud f^va- : 1 j ges within these fifty-four canoes. I cannot think that these belonged to 8 I one power. I imagine that it was a pre- j j concerted arrangement with neighborI ing tribes, got up especially for our en- ^ I tertainment. We had no time even to ! breathe a short prayer or to think of in- 1 dulging in a sentimental farewell to the 1 | murderous cannibalistic world in which j we found ourselves. The enemy, in ; I nnnfi^onimnf vif?fnrv WftR Oil US. and ! |.?UW????-v j, j the big monster as it shot past us I launched a spear?the first. We waited no longer; they came to fight. The | cruel faces, the loudly triumphant drums, the deafening horns, the launched spears, swaying bodies, all proved it; and every gun in our little fleet angrily gave response to our foes. We were in a second almost surrounded, and clouds of spears hurtled and hissed for a short time?say, ten minutes. They then gave way, and we lifted our anchors and charged them, following them with fatal result. We were carried, away with our feelings. We followed them to the shore, chased them on land into their villages, ten or twelve of them, and, after securing some of the abundance of food I we found there, I sounded the recall. j To the victors belong the spoil?at i least so thought my people?and the i amount of ivory they discovered lying I useless about astonished me. There j | was an ivoiy " temple," a structure of I j solid tusks surrounding an idol; ivory j j logs, which, by the murks of hatchets j j visible on them, they must have used to i chop wood upon ; ivory war horns, some j of them tlxree feet long ; ivory mallets, ! ivory wedges to split wood, ivory pestles ! to grind their cassava, and before the | chief's house was a veranda, or burzah, I j the posts of which were long tusks of j ! ivory. There were 133 pieces of ivory, i | which, according to rough calculation, j i would realize, or ought to realize, about j I $10,030. These, I told the men, they i i must consider as their prize money. In ! j this light we only lost one man. i Eloping With tm Indian. ! We take the following from a Hamiltou ! j (Ontario) paper: Some days ago we i i published a report of an elopement from t I a farm house near Stratford, the parties . beiug a daughter of the proprietor and a f : hired man who belongs to one of the ' f i Indian tribes living ou reserves between j j Caledonia and Brantford. The Indian j i is said to be a fine, handsome, strapping j, [ fellow. We are informed that the j ! couple made their way to the house of ; : the Indian's mother, Jiaving been mar- . * i ried in due form in a i'rotestant iiipisco- j ? | pal church somewhere on the Reserve. ] There they were found by the angry | I father and brother of the girl, and the ; 1 Indian, being arrested, was taken to and i I locked up in Caledonia. While in limbo j j the young husband mourned for his ! ! absent wife, and pledged himself, in the | j hearing of his auditors, to die, if neces-! ; sary, in her defence. But the relatives j of the girl, fiuding they oould not sep arate the pair, consented to the Indian's release, and the whole party went in for j ! a general jovial celebration on the | ; evening of the day upon which the j ! young couple were thus reunited. The I j young wife belongs to a very respectable j and wealthy family, named Murray, who i ! reside in the county of Perth. They are 1 ; members of the Roman Catholic Church. [ | The Indian, whose name has escaped j i our memory, is a Protestant, and is i ; above the average of his tribe in intelli- i i gence and industry. j _ ! i ' A Golden-Leafed Oak. < A North Carina paper says there is ! in'Watauga ccunty, in that State, a flour- j ishing oak tree of vigorous growth, the j leaves of which, when they first burst j forth from the bud in the Spring, are of j ?. hrichfc. crolden-vellow oolor. and retain I this oolor during their whole growth and 1 maturity.

TheDeadwood "opiumhouse," writes a correspondent, is owned and conducted by two venerable appearing pagans, who assume a dignity and importance of mien indicative of no little self-esteem?an audacity of nature often remarked, too, in tliose engaged in the retail liquor business. Such characters do not seem to be sensible of their dreadful destiny. " The opium house " is a frame structure it the lower end of Main street, in the Chinese quarters. Flanking it for a 3quare or more above aud below, the general aspect is decidedly Oriental, ilso plutonic. Heathen wash houses, :-ea stores and medicine and doctor shops, with their cabalistic signs and burning colored tapers?charms against the intrusion of Asiatic hobgoblins?are jumjled together promiscuously. The in!ected atmosphere is perfectly stifling, ind warns the visitor of his approach some time before he reaches his destina;ion?the predominating stench of opilm smoke commingling with that insufferable musk smell which everywhere sharacterizes the presence of Mongolitns. Entering the front and receiving oom, I was agreeably surprised to find jverything scrupulously clean, and the sharacter and arrangements of the luique aud curious furniture and pictures, such as could not fail to captivate he pagan eye. Every appearance and levice seemed to invite to ease and epose. An air of orderly abandon jervaded the place, under the influence >f which one almost became oblivious to he repulsive details which combine to .in +)iiH nnrfll nicture of American aaAw u|/ kuiu ?w ? ? ^? ? zed barbarianism. We were at once approached by a leanly-clad Asiatic?his sandals new nd glossy, encasing stockings of spotess white, and the balance of his loose.' otton attire just as cle^y?who introiuced himself by ask^g. "Mellcau man ;o up stairs ? smoke ?" We noQled assent, ar<* followed him up the larrow stairway to an aisle, on either ide of wtlCh "was a row of opium-smoking tallft the entrances to which were ;rucained with grotesquely-figured cloth f Chinese manufacture. In each of bese cellB there is a small table, with iixuriously-cushioned stools. They are f capacity sufficient to accommodate alf a dozen when sitting close together, 8 opium-smokers do when smoking in arties. My guide ordered two pipes, be charge for each of which was "four ittee." I have often paid half a dollar or admission to entertainment which id not prove so profitable, though my ipe was unused. Having received his ollar the barbarian left us to soon eturn with two cards, each containing bout a small teaspoonful of an opium lixture of the consistency of common ar. It is said this compound is not lade anywhere outside of China. It is >ut up for market in that country in oxes containing a little over half a pint, nd they are retailed in San Francisco at ight dollars each, and at twelve dollars a Deadwood. The mixture is of a ombustible character, consuming away lowly and steadily when ignited. A liece of rounded and nicely polished lardwood, upon which to fry the narotic, is furnished, with a piece of wire n recnlate the consumption as to quan ity and time, by adding to or taking rom the burning mass, and also to feed he pipe. An old smoker will consume ne card in half an hour, and I was ! saured there were many in Deadwood, j f both sexes, who often spent an entire > light in the opium-house, using from j tve dollars to seven dollars' worth of j tpium in an all-night sitting. I had i >ccular proof that some of the leading | msiness men of the city had fallen vie- I ims to the fatal allurement. The income of the proprietors must >e enormous. Had we called an hour ater we would have failed to have got eats without waiting, as the tables are isually all occupi?d from nine o'clock it night until well on toward daylight.

They that live . without dying j houghts, shall die without comforts. , Idleness is hard work lor tiiose that j ire not used to it, and dull work for i hose that are. Covetous persona are like sponges, j vhich greedily draw in water, but ro- , urn very little until they are squeezed. The love of truth is the spirit of all iloquence. Speech without it is but mbble. The mere art of rhetoric is nore noisy but less useful than the inman's trade. A man's charity to those who differ j rom him upon great and difficult ques- J ions, will be in the ratio of his own i knowledge of them. The more kaowl- J idge, the more charity.

I was in a languid, halfalive state, through incipient dyspepsia and defective circulation of the blood. Three bottles of the Peruvian Syrup changed this to glowing, bounding health. I have a line appetite, sleep soundly, and can walk five miles easily, without resting, or busy myself out of doors all day long without fatigue. A lady cousin, who resides with me, took the Syrup during lier recovery from a serious illness of some weeks. She has been an invalid for years. Five bottles of the Syrup have so built up her system that she now eats quite iieartily, sleeps* well, anil can walk three miles (in fine weather) without fatigue. I consider the medicine so invalnablo to persons of sedentary pursuits, or to those who 'suffer from languor or low spirits, that I relate this personal experience of its effects to you, leaving you to make what use you please of mv letter.

Hostetter's stomach Bitters defy competition, Of the host of rival Ionics that have cropped up during its long career, not one has gained and retained such a large share of public favor, though many have enjoyed an ephemeral popularity. The reason is this, that whereas many of tiose medicines were advertised to perform cures of the most startling nature, they have, when tested, almost invariably turned out to be of little or no value, while the great invigorant, whose reputation they were intended to rival, has never disappointed those who have placed their confidence in it. It has vindicated m the amplest manner i s claims to be considered a positive specific remedy for liver complaint, dyspepsia, malarious fevers, debility, constipation, and numerous other maladies arising from general weakness and disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels.
