EARTHQUAKES OF THE PAST. Some off the Grandest Upheavals the World has Known. The large degree of interest manifest? ed by the shock of yesterday suggests a reference to the great earthquakes of the past. Recent discoveries in the science of seismology have proved that there is scarcely any material fact'concerning their cause that has not been satisfactori? ly accounted for. According to ancient superstition, these shocks were interpre? ted "as the angor of the gods." Pliny Josephus Seneca had . fanciful theories concerning them. One of the earliest works upon the subject was published in 1760, hut the fallacious accountability for them made it of but little seientiSc value. Philosophical inquiry since then has been thoroughly revolutionized, and the ingenuity of scientists has made the subject so interesting that it is perfectly practicable with the aid of a "seisometer" to accurately measure the duration of a shock even to the fraction of a second. To show how thoroughly earthquake records have been preserved, it may be added that the British Association has an "earthquake catalogue," which gives a list of between 6,000 and 7,000 earth? quakes between 1606 B. C. and A. D. 1842. From 1842 to 1880 these records have been added to by Moos. Perry, a Belgian, for the use of the Belgian Acad? emy. So that we have a complete list of earthquake shocks chronologically tabu? lated for 8,490 years made on time meas? urement. It is also worthy of remark that whil e Central and South America and Europe have been at intervals the scenes of mon? strous upheavals in revolution, North America has.been most fortunate in^es caping the fearful havoc they have caus not Seeix ""d^?guisbe 'i by freqtiierit' or severe earthquakes.

D. 63, are so familiarly known as to need no. special comment. It has been u fruitful theme for novelist?.and: poets. : Anttoeb Has frequently been visited by* (arthquakea.' In A. D. 115 it was almost destroyed. In A. D. 456 it was again visited, And in speaking of this .Gibbon, the historian,- states that 250,000 persons lost their .lives. Again, in A. D. 587, S 80,000jersens came to their death. The: last W:tnafccity occurred in April, -1872; In th?y%f.l77S, for instance, thereV were no f^w'^ tban 947 shocks, and 501 . of these were .what scientists term "of the first degree- of -force."

Its origin was at a spot directly under the centre of Calabria. - It dislocated huge rocks that fell into the sea and destroyed the City of Messifaa. In 1819 2,000 square. mUet of-country near the mouth of the Indua were sub? merged, and the shock was distinctly felt at Calcutta.* * . * On January 22;1885; Central-America, on the-.occasion: of thereruptioniof the: volcano.

Its greatest violence was between Berne and Chamauni ^Xt_ traveled Northward at ?SlW Cov?Mli feet' per secosd and Southward 1,391 feet. On November 14, 1861, Switzerland was similarly visited, though the results were not so disastrous. The last memorable incident of an eruptive character happened on the night of 'July 28 bf last year on the Island of Jschia, near Naples, when the town of Oas?ojiccola was almost destroyed. The adjacent town3 of Foris and L?cceameno were greatly damaged. It commenced at 9.30 o'clock. Three thousand persons were killed, 800 were injured, and nearly all. th e houses we re thrown do wxi. Great darkness fell upon the people, the earth opened in many places, water gushed out from the springs, and the terrified popu? lace rushed to the sea to escape. It left its ravages at Lacco, at Torrio (where the churches were ruined); at Scuara fifteen Eersons were killed. The scenes were eart-rending and impossible to describe. Referring to earthquake shocks in the United States, which have been remark? ably rare, the notable one of 1811 took place at .New Madridj Mo: It covered an area of 300 miles, Southward from the'Tnomlr of the Ohio River. The {pound rose and sank in mighty mounds, akes were formed and again drained. There were two distinct motions felt?a vertical and a horizontal. The latter was considered to have done the most damage. The disturbances continued at intervals until March 23, 1812, when they suddenly ceased coincident with the great earthquake at Caracas, the capital of the Republic of Venezuela, where it caused the death of 10,0'JO'ihhabitants, showing unmistakably that there was an evident transmission of force between them. The same earthquake commenced in Massachusetts with a noise resembling thunder. It lasted a minute, followed by a. long swell, like a land billow. "It was bo great that men working in the field tried to lay hold of something to prevent them falling. Jerks and wrenches, last? ing two minutes, succeeded. In Boston the elfect. was seen oy the upheaval of cbimoeys;---wind 'vanes* and numerous brick buildings. Millions ofiub were killed and floated on the surface of the water. Nine hours later (2 p. m.) the aea- wave, twenty feet high, arrived at tbe harbor of St. Martins, West Indies. The wave, undoubtedly, - originated at tbe source of this earthquake. In 1852 an earthquake destroyed the missions in Southern California. That State was again similarly visited on March 26, 1872, when the walls of sever? al public buildings were cracked through. A disastrous earthquake, visited. Mexi? co on June 19,1858. It traveled through the entire valley and destroyed the aque? duct that supplied the city with water. It did great damage and was the .-most severe ever, experienced there. Several provinces were greatly injured. The most considerable shock ex peri* ' enced. in tbe Middle and Eastern States in--this century was felt on October 19, 1870. Its course was traced to tbe vol? canic region, 100 miles Northeast of ?Quebec It spread to St. John, N. B., thence West to Chicago, and from there to New York. Its velocity was about 14,000 feet per second. Notice of its coming was telegraphed from Quebec to Montreal, and arrived there just thirty seconds before it reached the latter city. The mining regions in Nevada suffered similarly in 1871, when several settle ments, among them Los Pinos, were de? stroyed. In the West Indies these shocks have been so numerous tbat space prevents anything like even a chronological men? tion of the most prominent. Peru has frequently been visited, and Callao has twice been destroyed, once in 15Sb and again in 1746. In 1868 the port of Arica suffered severely. Alaska also felt a shock in 1868. Chili is notoriously addicted to volcanic eruptions and up? heavals. The most remarkable occurred ip; 1822. In 1835 the city of Concepcion was destroyed for the fourth time. In fact, the list of the earth's great convul? sions is almost inexhaustible.?New York Star, August 11. The Family Doctor Shop. Nearly every person knows what to do in case of injury or sickness, but it often happens that under the excitement at? tending such circumstances they become confused and forget all they know about it. The following suggestions might be posted up on the inside of the closet or bookcase, where they could be referred to promptly: For stomach cramps, ginger ale or a teaspoonful of the tincture of ginger io half a glass of water in which h..if a teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved. Swallowing saliva often relieves a sour stomach. Hot, dry flannels applied as hot as possible, are good fur neuralgia. Whooping cough paroxysms are reliev? ed by breathing the fumes of turpentine or carbolic acid. For cold in the bead nothing is better than powdered b irax sniffed up the uiowg ffif <'. -: Hi i c A l strong solution r of :bicarbqnatb;.vof %odail[6aBh"g powder:} tafceir frequently, is a reliable remedy for ^.arrbcea troub? les, particularly those arising from acidity of the stomach. A standing antidote for poison by dew; poison oak, ivy, etc., is to take a handful of quicklime, dissolve in water, let it stand half an hour, then paint the pois? oned parts with'it. Three or four appli? cations will never fail to cure the most aggravated cases. ; if children do not thrive on fresh milk it should be boiled. Powdered resin is the best thing to stop j bleeding from cuts. After the powder-is sprinkled on wrap the wound With a soft I cotton cloth. As soon a* the wound be I gins to feverish keep- the cloth wet with I cold water. j For burns sweet oil and cotton are the standard remedies. If they are not at band sprinkle the burned pari; with flour and wrap loosely with a /soft cloth. Don't remove the dressing until the in j ffamation subsides, as it will break the new skin that is forming. - { ' For DOBe bleeding bathe the face and j neck with cold water. I If an artery is severed tie a small cord or handkerchief lightly about it. j. . For bilious colic soda and/ginger in I hot water. It may be taken freely. I Broken limbs should be placed in nat I nral position and the patient kept quiet until the surgeon arrives.. ] /Nervous spasms are usually relieved by a little salt taken into the mouth and I allowed to dissolve. ] - Hemorrhages of the lungs or stomach are promptly checked by small doses of Jsalt.: The. patient should be kept as I quot as possible. I ; Sleeplessness, caused by two much I blood in the head, may be overcome by applying a cloth with cold water to the back of the neck. hi For pains in the chest and stomach, , as j much terror's powder-asr- will" lie -tm~a I silver five cent piece. ' ["" Wind'colic'is promptly relieved by peppermint essence taken in a little warm water. For small children it may be sweetened. Paregoric is also good. Chlorate of potash, dissolved in water, is a standard remedy for sore throat, par I ticularly if the throat is raw. I" Tickling in the throat is best relieved by I a gargle of salt and water. - Indigestion is theh- prolific cause of I colics,^^dmrrhos^Ijeadacnes, Constipation, and many:di8easea of' the bladder. Food that is not digested ferments, and becomes powerMlly acid^?^ and lmfi^^wonwherever it touches. Many feveia^arS'-^iBed by it. Pepsin' is the best remedy: if-taken immediately after eating.; If pepsin is not tefceb^the acidi fy.should be controlled'by bicarbonate of j soda or:potash; J Sickness ^ of the stomachic is''"" most promptly relieved by drinking a teacup ful of hot soda and water. If it brings the offending matter-up all the better. -.. A teaspoonful " of ground.mustard in a cup of warm water is a prompt and reli j able emetic, and should be resorted to in cases of .poisoning or cramps in the stomach from over eating. Pains in the side are most promptly relieved by the. application of mustard. Sprains and bruises call for an appli? cation of the.tincture of arnica. . Avoid, purgatives and strong, physics, as they not' only do no good, but are pos? itively hurtful. Pills may relieve for the time, but they seldom cure. Stomach I bitters . are a snare and only create a desire for stimulants. - Eat only such things as agree with you, and not too much at a time. By heeding the warnings of your stomach many Doctor bills and even undertakers, too, may. be avoided. Give children plenty of milk, and bread, graham or oatmeal crackers and good, ripe fruit. They will not only thrive on this diet but keep healthy. In every house there should be a little nook in which a few simple remedies are I kept.. Among them should be extract of ginger, Dover's powder, peppermint, chlorate of potash, bicarbonate of soda,' sweet oil, paregoric, camphor, arnica, a bottle of pure whiskey, cotton, old mus? lin for bandage?, .sticking plaster, a box of ground mustard and some ready-made mustard plasters. Always strike a light when you go to get any of these in the dark, and be sure you have the right one A Misguided Cat. A gentleman who lives on Main street in Saco has a larga white cat of which he is very fond. He calls her "Jen." Whenever she catches a mouse he is if the habit of giving her a big saucer i n milk, and carressing her. His idea was that this would encourage Jen to renewed efforts and impress upon her mind that the extermination of rodents was her chief duty. The plan appeared to work well. When Jen captures a mouse du? ring the absence of the master of the house, she will keep it till he comes home and then display it to him ostenta? tiously, with noisy demonstrations of feline joy. Recently, as the family were seated at the lea table, Jen suddenly, rushed in with- an enormous rat which' she had just captured and disemboweled. Her owner did not notice her, and be? fore it could be prevented, she iumped upon the table and triumphantly laid the disgusting object in his plate. The gen? tleman _was eating a piece of custard pie at the time, and he informed us in a voice choked with emotion that the sight of custard-pie will bring up horrible recol . le.ctions_to.him as long as he lives. He says-thc^cftt's intentions were all right, but her.judgment was poor. ~- Every-child .'should be taught to pay all biV-debts, and to fulfill all his 'contracts,.exactly in manner, completely in value, punctually at the time. Every thing he has borrowed he should be obliged to -return uninjured at the time specified," and every thing belonging to others which he has lost he should be re? quired to replace. Talnable Definitions. I. Skepticism is doubt about the truth, though not .actually denying it; .hesita? tion about it; reluctance to define what faith is. II. Agnosticism is a denial of an ac? ceptance of religion, except that which comes within knowledge. There may be a God, or there may not. There may have been such a divine person as Jesus Christ, or there may not. It does not come within my knowledge, so I put it aside, because I know nothing about it. III. Posilivism is non-exceptance of. anything except it can be positively proved ; as e. g., a proposition in Euclid, or an object demonstrated by one of the senses. Thus differing from these, but hardly more, perhaps than in name. IV. Rationalism is a disbeliever in tbe supernatural; nothing to be accepted until it be brought within the intellectu? al power. Man's reason must be con? vinced. Faith is nothing. V. Deism is a belief in the existence of a first cause, called by tbe name of God, as creator of the -world but no be? lief in the acceptance of Messiah.as Son of God or Savior of the? world, or in the Holy Ghost, forming-the Holy Trinity. And then at last, . .Vir Athejsm is not only a non-recog nitlouTof.'the possibility of there being a God, but an absolute denial of. his ex? istence.in any way whatever. As David says of tbe fool, when he says in his heart." "There is no God." Out of these horrors <>f'unbelief- come, as effects from cause? ? VII. Radicalism, which, means : the uprooting (radix), of.all tune-honored iostittitiOns "and" customs" of antiquity and remodeling - them' with new ones, suited to the age of progress; e. g., the revolution of the laws which have hith? erto beenjnarks, of civilization, aven to tbe confiscations of ail-property and the leveling of s?ciety from the highest up waid to the-lowest downward. VIII. Socialism and cominuuism, which assert all that have a common right to tbe' things of and iu this world, which are to bei-divided among them equally. Property becomes a thing of naught. No man has a right to more than his neigh? bor?share and share alike?to be enjoy? ed equally by the indunriou? and the sober, the -possessor of ten talents and tbe possessor -of one. . Ff'omlf^?e;.w"e-come at last to, 1X7. Nihilism, which carries forward into action the ideas of all preceding, and swallows up in itself Radicalism, Socialism and Communism, and in order to realize them, asserts it to be right to destroy by assassination, or murder in secret or openly, by poisonor the dagger, all who stand in its way?all kings and governors and rulers.?Rev. W. J. Ben net. Among the Dry Goods. A dry/goods; salesman says: "We have to endure a great deal at the bauds of "those ladies who never buy. These people take up valuable time, and a good part of our energies is directed to the effort to circumvent, them. The moment an "old timer" comes up to tbe counter she is instantly recognized by some one of the salesmen, and tbe warning signal, a tap on tbe counters-is passed along-the line. Then we;lhave some fun. / The "old timer" will call for, say, a certain shade of yellow. She is told it is not in stock.,. "Ob, what a pity 1" she exclaims, "that is just what I wanted. If you had it I. would: buy sixteen yards of it." Theo it is the next man's turn. He comes up accordingly, and tells tbe first salesman that he is mistaken, that there is still a bolt'of twenty yards of that identical stuff in the store. He brings it forward and lays it down. You would think the shopper who never buys would be disconcerted at this turn of affairs. Not a bit of it. She nays smilingly : "Oh, that is just what I want. Lay it aside for me, and I will see my dressmak? er and find out just how many yards she needs, and to-morrow I'll come back and buy it." Then she departs with a sim? per, but she never comes back.

'Ton are very comfortably situated," said he to the Christian wife and mother.. "Your little place is almost self-sustaining-; but, where are all of your chickens ? When last here I noticed flocks of them.in the yard." "Yes," replied tbe Christiane .lady, "we raised a great many, b?t theybecame so troublesome to our neighbors' thatj' rather than give offence we sold them." "Very considerate I am sure." "Ob, I cannot bear to be looked upon as an imposition and?" "Ma!" called young Snagwell." "Yes, son." "Did you sell the chickens 'cause they was trouble ?" "Yes, son ; run along now." "No, you didn't 'cause I beard you tell pap that the chickens all had tbe cholera an' that he'd belter take'em down an' sell 'em before they all died." Tbe good lady imagined that the min? ister was not so cordial when he took his leave, and shortly afterwards tbe boy had reason to believe that tbe mercury had gained an altitude of several inches.?

Ills Postoflico L< Yates ville, Upson County, Ga. The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. Uolloway finally told mc to try Brewer's Lung Re? storer. They sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced ttklng It right away. ? After tak? ing two or thr doses, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. I am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors arc of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Remedy ever made in my opin? ion. Dr. H. promised me that he would write to tho manfacturers and tell them of the wonderful oure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early In November, 3981, while sewing on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which was soon followed by hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither eat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. The nttondlng physician told mc that he thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her stom* ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consultation. They made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. Holloway then suggested tho Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last icsort. I sent for a bottle and gave bcr a dose. I found that she could retain It on her stomaeh, and after about tho third dose, I began to notico somo improvement in her condition. I continued tho medicine regularly, and by the time she bad taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in bettor health than she has enjoyed for several years. . I believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, somo of them grown." Mr. Hearndon's PostofHco is Yatcsville, Upson County, Ga.

July 24, 1884 2 6 Healthy People Sometines Laugn At the sufferings of dyspeptics, and say that th< ir pains and distresses are imaginary. This is not meant for cruelty, but it is cruelty, all the same. A person who has a crooked foot, or a wounded hand, or a sightless eye, calls forth sympathy by the exhibition of the defective member. If the dyspeptics sufferer's stomach could be placed on exhibition, the cause of his distress would be apparent. ( t The man with a troublesome stomach oftei suffers quite as much as the man with a broken leg, but is far less likely to receive sympathy. Sympathy is good for sufferers, as far as it goes. But Brown's Iron Bitters is better, for it strikes at the root of these troubles, and cures dis? ease.' Disappointed dyspeptics, weary of havirg tried many experiments in seeking cure, will do well to make one fair tr ai of Brown's Iron Bitters, and report the result. That th:? well-tried family medicine will thus dimin? ish the quantity of human suffering is an established fact. 10 PRICES GREATLY REDUCED!
