Rest will be sweet in the evening, when the day's long labor is done? Now, I must be up and doing, for my work > is scarce begun ! Peace may bo dear to the veteran, grown weary of war's alarms? But now I'm longing for battle, tho clash and the clang of arms! Death by and by will be weleome, if I have been faithful and trueNow, there is life to bo lived, and I have so much to do! Once, in the early morning, when the dews were not yet dry, In the misty summer morning, or ever the sun was high, /.s I looked along the road whereby I must presently go, And saw how great was the journey, how fiercely the moon would glow, Life felt too heavy a burden, and I so weary and worn, Weary before I had labored, and lon^nns for night at morn. Weary before I had labored; bnt labor has brought mo rest, And now I am only eager to do my work with the best. What right have I to he weary, when my work is scarce begun? What right havo I to bo wear}-, whilo aught remains to be done ? > I shall be weary at even, and rest will the sweeter be; And blessed will peace be to them that have won the victory! But now is the time for battle?now I would \ strive with the best; Now is the time for labor; hereafter remaineth a rest. ?Mary A. Hoppus. IN A COAT POCKET. Astlcy Cowper, hat in hand, was hist, tnrnins? the handle of the street J J * O " door, when a soft call from the stairtop made him pause. "Are von going to the postofflce, Astley?" "Xo, not exactly, but near it. Is there anything you want done?" " Only this letter to post," and a girlish shape flitted down the stairs. Astley watched her as she descended, and with suddenly sharpened recognition of the fa<"t, said to himself, "what a pretty girl Rosamond is!" Brothers are not always so alive to their sister's charms, but the fact was that rarely in her life had Rosamond Cowper been so near to a perfect beauty as that moment when she came down the old stair case, letter in hand; her cheeks flushed with the deepest pink; her eyes shining, and her red lips parted with I know not what happy stir of emotion and expectancy. Two long braids of pale brown hair, thick and glossy as those of German Gretchen, hung down her back. On the fair forehead clustered a fringe of light waving rings, not cut and trained after the manner of the conventional hang, but a happy freak of nature and accident. * The slender figure in its white dress had all the rounded grace of youth . and perfect health. Over all was an air of virginal freshness, indescribable but charming. It was one of those bel momenti which comes at times to js. most young creatures. But Rosamond was too much preoccupied to be conscious of her looks as she handed the letter to her brother, with fingers that trembled a iittle, and said, anxiously, "you won't lose it, will you, Astley?" "Certainly not;" with a superior smile. . He stuffed it carelessly into a -!.l _I?J. ^-r rtrvaf !

Before its return the weather had changed to that odd, almost autumnal coolness which checkers and tempeis the heat of our American summers. Tt. wan somp time before Astlev had occasion to wear them again. When * it was taken for use, by mere accident, he was searching for something in the "4, pocket, when bis astonished fingers enV countered and drew forth a rather thick, flat, hard square of paper for which he could in no way account. Mr. D\v?Edgar, P. Box 5? New Y? " Dwlglit Edgar. Why, what does ; this mean ? I have had no letter from hirn," reflected the astonished Astley, [ still intent on the disorganized frag? ments. " Hut stay?this isn't a letter fr9in him?but to him. How could it get into my pocket ?" Here and there a sentence could be made out, or parts of sentences. "I f. am so very, very happy, but I can't tell you about that until"?"Ought to have got your letter four days ago." ?" So you needn't go to Europe, you see, for "?and then .a blurred signature.

[*?. Astley had always suspected that v there was a tenderness in that quarter. And Rosamond had said "yes." What must she have been thinking and feeling all these weeks ? . And then a groan escaped from Astley, as it flashed upon his mind that it was only a fortnight since he *- had read Dwight Edgar's name in the ^ list of "sailed for Europeread it aloud, with some careless comment.

J The sound of the dinner-bell inter rupted his unpleasant meditations, and he went down feeling as though he ought to be hanged. .Rosamond was in her usual place, * neat, graceful, smiling even; but study; v. ing her face closely he noticed an j: effort in the smiles and cheerfulness. *V. The sweet face was a little thinner; the wild rose bloom, which was its characteristic, had paled to a fainter * pink, and Astley heard his mother ir, ask, "headache again, my child?" And caught the patient answer, "just a ' w little." | % With inarms^ remorse he exeorattf ' --Jr^ his carelessness. "What ought he to do? Long and deeply did lie study over the question. At last lie took a halfmanly, half-cowardly resolution. Confess his delinquency to his sister he absolutely dared not, hut that night he wrote to Dwight Edgar, made a full exposition of his fault, and in dosed the faintly blotted scrap which said so little and meant so much. This done, he set himself to wait for the moment when he could produce evidence that, so far as in him lay, he had made amends for his misdoings, and till then lie resolved to be silent. Astlev was right in his guess. Ihvight Edgar had gone to Europe a deeply disappointed man. In the letter, to which Rosa's was an answer, he had written: "Don't say no. I could not bear that, nor could I give your gentleness the pain of uttering the word. 1 will wait two weeks and if at their end you have said nothing 1 shall go abroad and travel till I can bear to come home again." Not a wise arrangement this, considering what chances and changes, including postollice laxities, are involved in this mortal life ; but lovers are not always wise. The two weeks passed without word or token, each slow day deepening his hopelessness, and at their end lie sailed. Ilis final arrangements were made in a hurry, and he had been glad to accept a friend's benevolent oiler of half a stateroom on the overcrowded steamer. It was benevolence very poorly rewarded, for John Blagden found him very dull company. For the first few hours he made some little effort at conversation, then he dropped all pretenses and sat in moody silence, staring at the dim backward horizon from which each stroke of the paddles carried them farther and farther. It was no better alter they reached London. The two men took a set of rooms together at the Langham, but to all plans for pleasuring Dwight turned a deaf ear. " Go by yourself, that's a good fellow," he said. " I won't bore you with my dullness. I'll just sit here till posttime and read the American newspapers." " And that is what I left him at," explained John Blagden to a mutual acquaintance encountered in the coffee-room. "Pouring over an old Herald, twelve days out?what an occupation for a man to take up in London! "Poor Dwight, I never saw a fellow so changed in my life. He's all cut up about something, and I wish I knew what, for really, I have no notion what I ought to do about him. Nothing I can say makes any difference." And nothing did make any difference till, a week after this conversation, Mr. Blagden returned from an excursion to Hampton Court, to find his friend busily engaged in cramming his belongings into a portmanteau, with a light in his eyes and a color in his cheeks which made him seem a different man. "Halloa! I'm triad you've come, old fellow. I'm off at once." "Off! "Whereto?" " Home! Liverpool train at 9 o'clock and catch the Bohemia." "Home? The States! "Why, what does it mean? You were going to Paris with me on Tuesday, you said." " "Well?so I did intend, but I've had letters and must get back as soon as possible." "Nothing wrong, I hope." "Xot at all; quite the contrary. Everything is right." Marveling greatly, John Blagden turned to the table, where, amid torn wrappers and other debris of a justarrived mail, lay a sheet of closelywritten paper with a little heap on it of something odd and blotted. "What's that?" he asked, with a natural curiosity, stopping to examine it. Dwight Edgar snatched it up. " It's ?it's nothing," he explained?"only a letter I've had." Then breaking into a laugh at his friend's discomfited countenance, the first real laugh which John had heard him give since I they left America, he atkled: "Never mind, old hoy, I'll explain some diy. It's all right, at least I hope it is, and I know I've been a dull, unsocial dog all this time. You've been awfully good to put up with me, and I'll try to make amends next time we meet." Meanwhile the days were passing heavily enough in far-away America, where Rosamond bore her secret pain. She had kept the knowledge of her plighted faith a choice secret, not to be revealed until Bwight should come. When he failed to come, pride kept her silent still. The news of his departure struck in her heart like a blow. What did it mean? "I will not be base, or little, or suspicions," she told herself; "there is some blunder. lie will come back, he will explain." But weeks of suspense and uncertainty passed. She could school her words and her manner, but not her face, and that fair face began to look piteous and wan. Astley, watching her with compunctious anxiety, telt an ever-deepening heartache. Three weeks had passed since his letter of explanation was posted. Any hour might bring a response, and lie haunted the postollice with a pertinacity inexplicable to liis father. " I can't stand it much longer," he told himself. "If that fellow isn't heard from by to-morrow night I shall make a clean breast of it to Rosa, and confess the whole thing." And the next evening, "that fellow" still not being heard from, he did it. Rosamond, spirit-fair and fragile in her white dress, was sitting on the door step in the moonlight, and sitting at her feet he plunged into medias res. " Rosa, do you recollect a letter you gave me to post more than a month ago?" " Yes," with a little gasp. " Well, I forgot it." " Oh, Astley!" "Yes; it was in my pocket, you know. I was going straight to the office, but something interrupted me? lawn tennis at the Porters, I believe ?and then I sent my coat to the wash with the letter still in it. I never found it out till the confounded thing came back some days after. As I put it on 1 nappeneu 10 leei in me pocKer, and there it was?what was left of it." Rosamond sat perfectly still. Xot a sound came from her lips. Astley waited an instant, as if in hope of an answer, anil then went on: " Rosa, darling, you mustn't mind, but I couldn't help seeing who the letter was for. and that?that?it was something of consequence. It was all blotted and blurred, but a word or two could be made out here and there. I was awfully cut up about it. I couldn't bear to tell you, and I didn't know what to do. At last I wrote a full explanation to Dwight, and I put the scraps in my letter." "Astley!" There was a ring of hope and of dismay in the exclamation. So absorbed were both that neither noticed that some one swung the gate just then. "Yes, I did. It went three weeks ago yesterday, and by to-morrow you ought to hear from him, that is if he happened to be in London when the mail cot in. I didn't mean to tell you | till his letter came, but I could wait ! no longer. Just say you forg? Why Lgj^gt^^^^^^^^uuond sprang Dwight !' " She's fainted !" exclaimed Astley, in an awe-struck tone, as his sister's head dropped heavily on his arm. But happiness is a better restorative than burnt feathers, and in a little time Rosamond was able to assure Astley of her forgiveness, to smile and ask questions, and finally be left on the door-step for a long moonlight talk with her truant correspondent. When I saw Mrs. Dwight Edgar at Newport hist year, she wore on her wrist a slender chain, to which was attached a locket whose lid was a big moonstone. Within was a singular little wad of ] what looked like paper which had been wet and pressed together. When I asked what it could be, she answered, ... evasively: "Oh, papier niaehe; a bit of an old letter Dwight makes me wear. There's quite a story about it, but it's too long to tell." Her l.usband chuckled, and later, seeing that I w;is curious, he told me the story that 1 have told to you. "And you never saw any one so reformed as Astley is, ever since then," added Rosamond, with laughter in her voice. "lie's the most, particular creature you ever saw, always lidgeting and fussing for fear lie may have forgotten something. If Ik? lives to lie a hundred, you may depend upon it he will never again forget another letter in a coat pocket."?Youth's Companion. (lotlinm's (.old Carrier. "Writing about the new gold certificates issued bv the United States treasury department, the New York correspondent of the Detroit Free Press says: The certificates are a convenience to the banks, bankers, brokers and business men generally. 15ut.thenis one man in tiotiiam win; does not throw no liis hat for them. Ilis name I is John (\ Barkley. The reason why Mr. Barkley is not enthusiastic about the certificates is because they break up his business. For over thirty years lie has been engaged carting gold for the banks and banking houses. The certificates will almost do away with the actual handling of gold in adjusting the bank clearances and in many other large, transactions as well, so Barkley, like "Othello," linds his occupation gone. Ever since he set up as a gold carrier " Ilonest John" has had the business all to himself. It would not be easy to ligure up all the gold he has handled. The total would run into many thousand ! millions. In a single year, for in stance, he has carried for the Clearing house nearly $400,000,000. A single million in gold coin makes a pretty good wagon load, so far as weight is concerned. Barkley's strong fourwheeled truck, drawn by two stout horses, carries $2,000,000 at a time, the gold being packed in kegs. A keg holds $50,000, and twenty kegs filled with gold will weigh nearly a ton J Barkley's charge for carrying is one i dollar a keg; so," for a full load of $2,000,000 lie gets forty dollars. His working force consists of half a dozen stout men, including himself, each I well equipped for action in case the use of revolvers should at any time be necessary. It never has been. The miscellaneous highwaymen who infest the broad ways and narrow ways of Gotham have always been shy of John Bark ley and his well-guarded truckloads of gold. They know that deadly revolvers are always ready and that Barkley and his men always have a special license to shoot. Though he has carted thousands of millions through the streets of Xew York, his I ~ "O ~ trips to the (locks with gold to be [ shipped abroad often taking hint into dangerous neighborhoods, he has never lost a dollar of the money intrusted to him. lie will still have the foreign shipments to attend to, and probably an odd job for the banks and bankers, but with the appearance of the gold certificates the bulk of his business passes away. "Ilonest John" lias laid by something for a rainy day, however, j and would not need to fall back on the poorhouse, even though he never carried another keg of gold. Transfusion of Blood. A touching instance of maternal affection is recorded in a recent number of a medical journal by a Manchester physician. Dr. William Walter, of that city, was sent for to attend a young lady who was dying from the effects of a severe hemorrhage. When the doctor arrived his patient was lying still and unconscious ; her face and lips were blanched ; her eyes had assumed that dull and lifeless appearance which only death, or its near approach, can produce, inspiration was scarcely perceivable, and the pulse could only at intervals be felt. Dr. . Walter, nitr-Ji fiises is <rre:it. I knew at once that there was only one chance for her, viz., transfusion of blood from the arm of a healthy person to the blanched limb of the moribund. The lady's husband cheerfully consented to give his blood to save his wife, but the mother would not hear of it. Although she knew the risk attending the operation, she begged to be the donor. Doctors are not all made of cast iron, and this one could not resist the entreaties of that loving mother who offered lu-r life's blood at any cost to save her darling child. "While 1 )r. "Walker was performing venesection on the mother in an adjoining room, and before he had time to collect more than four ounces of blood. his assistant acquaintde him that his patient was apparently lifeless. "Who can depict the agony endured by husband and mother during the next fifteen minutes? The physician hurried to the bedroom to prepare the lady's arm for the reception of the blood. He found a vein ?not without srreat difficulty?isolated I it from the surrounding tissues, made a small opening in its walls, and inserted the silver nozzle of the injecting apparatus. In from ten to twelve minutes all the blood was injected, and almost immediately respiration became distinctly visible and audible; the pulse returned to the wrist, and in the course of a quarter of an hour the insensibility gave way to consciousness, and she was able to recognize her friends. Her convalescence was steady and uncomplicated, and within a month she was able to walk out of doors. Properties or N'iiro Glycerine. It has a sweet, aromatic, pungent taste, and possesses the very peculiar property of causing an extremely violent headache when placed in a small quantity upon the tongue, or any otlie portion of the skin, particularly upon the wrist. It has long been employed ny noineopamic practitioners us ;i remedy in certain kinds ol" headaches. In those who work lunch with it the tendency to headache is generally overcome, though not always.

No description can give an adequate idea of the extreme poverty'and scarcity of comforts among the mass of tiie Mexican people. Their houses are usually built of adobe (large mud bricks dried in the sun) and laid in a mud mortar, covered with a thatched roof, without lloors or window glass, containing one, sometimes two rooms, and generally devoid of furniture. The cooking is usually done outside, under a small, thatched awning. Cooking stoves are unknown save, among a few of the wealthier class and some foreigners. Earthenware cooking utensils are exclusively used, and nre of the most primitive kind. Meals are served on a mat made of grasses spread upon the floor; all the family squat around it and help themselves. No chairs, no table, no knives and forks. A dish of beans, possibly some dried beef, and the ever-present tortillas constitute the repast. This latter article is made from cornmeal ground between two st >nes, and is prepared fresh for every meal. It is then made into a stiff dough, from which round, lint calces are worked out by the hand to about the size of an ordinary cake of pilot bread. This is then baked on an earthenware griddle: the cake is thin and bakes quickly. This latter with beans constitutes the principal diet of the poor. Mutter is unknown and few ever get coffee. Goats' milk is used instead of that from the cow, from preference, as there are plenty of cows in the country, but they are esteemed only for breeding. The poor wear cotton clothing altogether, and if it is cold a blanket or a shawl?hall' wool and half cotton?is thrown over the shoulders. The drink is mescal; this is a liquor distilled from the Maguey plant and tastes very much like Scotch whisky. It is the national drink of the country. Wrestling1 Camels. "Wrestling matches between camels is an amusement in which Turks take great delight, although they sometimes get a line animal maimed in the sport. Many gentlemen keep them for no other purpose, and one person in Smyrna kept twenty at one time for the amusement of his wife, who had a fondness for the sport. The camels are trained to wrestling when quite young; they exhibit great dexterity in throwing their antagonist, and seem to take much pleasure in the fray. We had a.young one on board, only a month old, and, having been born under the Hag, he was christened " Uncle Sam." One of the Turks amused himself on the voyage making a " pehlevan" of him, and when he was six weeks old lie was more than a match for his teacher, using his legs, neck and mouth with such dexterity, and exhibiting such wonderful strength in so young a tiling, that he became a very rough playmate, and frequently hurt the men on the deck liy throwing himself on them suddenly and knocking them down. This feature seems to he natural to the camel, for when two strange ones meet together where there are any females they immediately have a wrestling match for the supremacy, and the conquered one ever after acknowledges his inferiority by not so much as daring to look at a female. 1'nlikcthe amusement of hull-baiting, this wrestling is a harmless pastime, though the animals sometimes get their legs broken or are stilt' for some time after with their bruises. Welltrained animals seldom injure each other, being taught to throw their antagonist by getting his neck under their fore leg (the right) and then throwing the, whole weight of their hotly on him and bringing him to the ground.?Luutmaut I'd iter, U. fS.

It is suggested by Ilerr Dueberg tliat tin* moon may be habitable on the side invisible to the earth, the water and the atmosphere being drawn thither by the effects of gravitation. The electric light in the lighthouse at Sydney, X. S. \\'? will be the largest of the kind in the world. The merging beam is s'aid to have a luminous intensity exceeding 12,000,out) candles. In a paper before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Ilaughton, of Dublin, disagreed with those geologists who believe the earth and moon have been gradually cooled from an intensely heated* liquid mass to their present state. According to his views, the moon formed a part of the earth at a remote period?as calculated by Mr. (Jeorge II. Darwin?but the earth itself was originally formed by the aggregation of separated masses of meteoric, matter cast off by the sun and cooled to about the temperature of interstellar space?probably -1(50 degrees below the freezing point of water. The cause of malarial disease is said to have been discovered bv Professor Laveran, a French physician at Yaldc-Craee. It is a very minute organism. named by him Oscillaria malaria*. M. iiichard. who announced the discovery in the French - Academy of Science, lias found the microbes in all the fever patients of the l'hillippcville hospital in Algeria. These arc located in the red blood corpuscles and completely destroyed their contents.

They look like a necklace of black beads, with one or more projections, which penetrate tin* cell of the corpuscle and oscillate or move like whips. Windmills. Windmills have not gone out of use yet by any means. Two of large pumping capacity were shipped recently from New York city for (luantauamo, Cuba. The ironwork of one of these mills weighs over SUM* pounds, and the outfit was intended for pumping from a well 150 feet deep. Kaeh of the windmills was complete in all its parts, having a large tower made of (torgia pine to support it, and pumps, pipes, connections, etc. The turntable of the larger mill, which supports the crank shaft, weighs 2,250 pounds. It is surprising that more windmills are not used in this country. ?GhrtstUn at Work, * NEWS OF TIEE WEEK. Eastern and Middle States.

Panama advices give the following account of the recent disastrous tidal waves in that region: San Bias, a district in this State, the principal village of which is situated on a cape which runs into tho Atlantic, has beeu visited by a series of tidal movements which did damage to life and property. The tide ran out a great distance, and on its return swept away tho villages built on tho beaches of the different islands of the archipolago and on tho main land. Tlie villages of Rio Coco, Isla Ealoma, and Napacondi, on the islands of tho same name, were swept iway, and more than forty persons were iliownod. At Playoti Grande every house was washed down, but only two persons were drowned. Playon Chico, which adjoins it. slso suffered. All the produce stored at Rio J.Inn.i TOns Kwnrifc ami', lint no livns wp.v9 lost. At Aguili, Candi Island, where good harborage led to tho chief business of the district being carried on, sixteen porsons lost their live"', and several thousand dollars' worth of imported goods were swept into the sen. The villages at Rio Banana and Mo?>mito have also been flooded, the people left houseless and their goods destroyed. A London special dispatch says that trade in England is stagnant, particularly in the iron and cotton districts, and that ni.-.ny strikes aro threatened.

Dubino the recent heavy gale in England n Yarmouth smack was lost and her crow of six men ware drowned. Another smack with a crew of ton men is reported lost. Work o! the Weather Bureau. General Hazen, the chief signal oiliccr of the army, in his annual report, states that ti:e signal service has greatly increased its usefulness since last year in spite of greater difficulties than were experienced since the organization of the weather service. Although the work of the corps has tjrown, there arc fewer officers to perforin it, and for the fiscal year of 1Mb.'5 there is ?55,01)0 less for observation and report of storms than was actually expended in 18JS0, 1881 or 1SS2. The report shows the insufficiency of the force employed to do the worli required, and a strong appeal is inado for an additional force in order to meet tho actual requirements of the service. Extra men are particularly needed for "indication" work and for tho inspection service. Tho report ascribes tho difficulties of tho service to the defoctive organization of tho corps and renews the recommendation of last year that the corps be made a distinct branch of the army and have its own complement of officer;;. To the commercial and agricultural interests of tho country, cloven now stations have snppinl ronorfs are made for the cotton nnd tobacco growing regions of the country, and the means for giving warnings to the cattle raisers of Texas against the approach of "northers" have been improved, and it is expected that the increased work is to go on, and that the service is to continue meeting, tho growing demands of tho country upon it with a smaller appropriation than it has had for a number of years. Experiments have been made during the year with a view of increasing tho value of the farmers' bulletin by tho addition of a weather chart of tho United States, and it is believed that in a short time these ch.irts may bo successfully reproduced on tho farmers' bulletin. With each year the popular knowledgo of tho uses of this bulletin enables those interested in agriculture to judge of the correctness of tho forecasts, and with the addition of tho proposed weather map, individuals will bo able to mako correct i>redictions of the weather for localities which it is impossible to provido for in tho brief sentence which expresses tho prevailing weather in the stations anticipated for an entire district. It is contemplated, as tho work of the office advances, to add to this bulletin brief instructions for tho use of instruments, which may hereafter be furnished for local observers. Tho railway bulletin service has proved of great valuo during the past year. The system of frost warnings for tho benefit of the sugar interests in Louisiana has been continued. During the coming year it has been proposed to telegraph frost warnings emiinl nffinn ir\ nil t^liiirrnnh UltCWb llUiil UIV OlfjUUi wuivw W ! ?* olliceS in tlio sugar growing section. The report describes the operations of the different branches of the service and states that it is necessary that a better grade and pay than that of sergeant bo provided for the oldest and best men of the service. A recommendation is made for an increase of fifty clerks for the central ortice to carry on the cotton belt work, the display of frost warnings, the extension of telegraph lines and other work. The Indian Commissioner's Keport. Commissioner Price, of the Indian bureau, has transmitted to the secretary of the interior his annual report for the fiscal year ! ended June oO, 18t>2. The commissioner says: The operations and results of the last year in the different agencies compare favorably with any one of the preceding years. Land has been opened to cultivation, houses for Indian residences have been built, schools opened and operated, and in many cases and in various ways the caur.e of civilization advanced. The co-operation of religious societies is regarded by the commissioner as a very important auxiliary in the civilization of the Indians, and ho points to the benefits derived from their work during the past few years. On the topic of Indian education the report says: Exclusive of the five civilized tribes, the whole number of Indian pupil3 attending school dnring the past year has been 8,"i08. Of these 4(58 were in attendance at the Carlislo, Hampton and Forest Grove training schools. Of the remainder 4,510 attended reservation boarding schools and JJ,1)1)8 reservation day schools. The average attendance for the year has been 5,219. Industrial training for boys is carried on at agency boarding schools and is receiving more and moro attention each year. In con1 nection with fifty-seven schools 1,423 acres are under cultivation. Blacksmithing, tailoring and harnessmaking are taught at four schools, seven teach shoenmking, ten carpentering and fifteen the raising and care of stock". Training in these branches has been stimulated by the success of the experiments at Carlisle, Hampton and Forest Grove. An appropriation of not less than $"-0,000 should be made by Con 1 cress at ils next session to properly equip existing agency schools for industrial work. The whole number of day schools now in 1 operation is 101. The commissioner trusts ' that the time is not far distant when a system of district schools will be established in Indians settlements which will serve not only as centers of enlightenment for those neighborhoods, but will give suitable employment to returned students, especially the young i women, for whom it is specially difficult tj provide, 'l'he amount asked by the commis1 sioner from Congress for Indian education 1 for the year ending Juno SO. 1&34, is 5017,(>J0. A Dangerous Headland. Capo ltace, the scene of many marine ' disasters, is near the southeastern extremity of Newfoundland, latitude forty-six degrees thirty-nine minutes | north, longitude fifty-three degrees fonr minutes. It is a lofty and precipitous headland, extending into the Atlantic from the southernmost point of the division of that island called Ferrvland. It forms a prominent point for navigators in the North Atlantic, lying near the ordinary route of vessels between the eastern ports of the I'nited States and Engj'-M, and being the last point of American land .sighted or passed in tin: eastern passage. It is a point very dangerous to ships sailing in foggy weather between the I'nited States and Europe. On it is a revolving light 180 feet above the , sea. It was established by the British government, and is sustained by a tax noon nil shins from or to Great *J x Britain, to or from Canada and the northeastern part of the United States. The Toledo (O.)

I hovo personally investigated it and am satisfied of the truth of this. On ntaimit of Its craven merits. It is recommended and proscribed by the bent phyxiclana In tho country. One says; "It works like a charm and saves much pain. It will euro entirely the worst form of falling of the uterus, Leucorrhoea, Irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Flooding*, all Displacements and the consequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of life." i It permeates every portion of the system, and give* > new life and vigor. It removes falntncss, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weakness of tho stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always permanently cured by Its use. It will at all times, and under all circumstances, act In harmony with the lav that governs the female system. It costs only $L per bottle or six for $3., and Is sold by druggists.
