Jeff. DtI Letter.
JmmnnaTt Davis has at lant been com
rHletl to break hia silence under Hie tcrrl
lile rharircs ot" Mr. Ulaine and the prto
nf Mr. Uarflrld of responsibility lor the
AndcrsonTillc atrocities, and has written
a long letier U exculpate himself, which,
it u safe to say, hi friends by this time
are wishing be ncrcr had written. Hid
whole letter is made up of miserable quib
ble and defiance. He devotes Us contents
t Mr. lilainc, who only made charpes.
He gives no attention to Mr. Garfield,
who prveetl the charpes by Confederate
testimony. The burden of these charges
was the fart that inhuman atrocities were
perpetrated at Andersonvillo under his
nction, knowledge and approval, and
that ha promoted the twin vho perpetrated
them to a station where he coulu have in
creased opportunities for cruelty. This
damning charge he does not meet; there
is nothing in his letter disproving the An
dersonviile cruelties. Every fact remains
intmnlrovcrtcd. The letter is not even
creditable to his own intelligence, or to
his estimate of the intelligence of his own
l5ple. He bezins with a vehement de
nial of the fact that there were any atro
cities! Before he is half through he is
f-ceking to break the force of the charge
with a wretched quibble; and he closes
with the affirmation that he is not re
sjwiniblc for them! This is ingenious
even for Jell". Davis, but the sophistry
will not avail him. It is altogether too
transparent. He himlf in denying the
airocitics has admitted them, and the fact
of his personal responsibility for them he
has not met at all. Against his allirma
1ion stand the official Confederate records,
cited by Mr. Garfield, to which he makes
allusion whatever. Hia own orders
and indorsements and letters give the lie
direct to his letter.
The quirk with which Jefferson Davis
seeks to shift the responsibility for these
atrocities is the same that lien Hill used,
and which has been the convenient ajM)l
ogy of Southern politicians and the bouth
crn presa for some time past, namely, that
Grant and Lincoln were responsible in re
fusing toexchange prisoners. This quibble
was met by Mr. Garfield, and completely
refuted with two great facts. First, the
Confederate authorities refused to rA-og-nize
the colored Union soldiers as soldiers
at nil. They held and treated them as
lare, and the officers of the colored
troops were regarded as felons, to be pun
ished with death when taken. In the sec
ond place, when they made the proposi
tion to exchange, they held between 70,000
and 80,000 of our captive soldiers, who
had already been reduced to skeletons by
starvation and inhuman barbarity of treat
ment. They had brought them to such a
dreadful condition that they never could
re-enter the service again. The most they
could do would be to crawl home, many
to die. These wrecks of men they sought
to exchange for an equal number of their
own prisoners. Mho were in good health,
who were robust and well fed, and who
were able to return to the ranks again Im
mediately and do as much rebel service as
ever. They made this proposition at a
time when the Southern Confederacy was
tottering to its fall. It was in the very
throes of dissolution, liy this exchange
they would have lcen relieved of 80,000
skeletons and human wrecks, and added
to their army bO.OOO fresh, strong troops,
with which they might have repaired their
falling fortunes, and perhaps have event
ually triumphed. At least they would
have been able to protract the war and
entail fresh miseries and the loss
ot tens of thousand of lives upon the
country. And all this time they retused
to fcive up any colored soldiers as
prisoners of war. These were either
rna.ssacred or reduced to slavery. JetTs
wretched quibble will not hold. Its ab
surdity in lien Hill's case was too thor
oughly ventilated and exposed by Mr.
Garfield to le of any service to Jefferson
Davis. He stands now where he stood
lx fore he wrote his letter the author of
the Andersonville atrocities, and proved
as such by the official records of the Con
federate Government, which he does not
pretend to deny, and to not one .of which
does he make any allusion.
That Jefferson Davis knows he was the
author of these atrocities is manifest from
the whole tone of his letter. His hatred
of the North has not abated a whit in
malignity. He scouts the amnesty which
the Confederate members of the House
and the Northern dough-faces seek to
thrust upon him. He follows in the
wake of Toombs, and taunts the Northern
Ieople in the following impudent lan
guage: "The indictment was finally
quashed on no application of mine, nor
h ive I ever evadecior avoided a trial upon
any charge the General Government might
cIkkisc to bring against me, and have no
riew of the future w hich makes it desira
ble to me to be included in an amnesty
bill." Notwithstanding this insulting
declaration, there is no reason to hope
that his Confederate friends will not con
tinue to demand that he shall be am
nestied, and that the Northern dough
faces will not continue to get down on
their knees and beg him to pardon them
and come back to the Senate. It is too
late now. His own letter has settled the
case. It will not help him in the North
with Union men. It is full of embarrass
ment for r)uthem. men, and places them
in a position more awkward than ever. In
the hands of Mr. Blaine and .Mr. Garfield
it is a more dangerous weapon even than
the Confederate records which they hurled
at him and the Northern dough-faces.

The Republican Tarlj.
WnEN the noble ship casts its anchor in
a port of safety a feeling of gratitude tills
tli hearts of all on l;ird. They render
tli a ksgiving and praise for the staunch
lam-I and skillful seamanship that have
brought them safelv through danger, and
thanks to that Divine hand that lias kept
a failhiul watch over loth: To say that
the good ship has breasted the storm and
outrode the gale, has finished its work
and should be dismantled in the harbor it

earnest indignation.
The Republican party may justly lc
likened to a noble ship. It has brought
its precious freight, the liberties of a peo

the storms and tempests of a protracted
voyage. A thousand tongues have spoken
its praise; a whole nation has united in
uttering thanks to the Providence that
created the party and guided it through
the fiery trials of the past fifteen years.
Base, indeed, must be that citizen who,
in the face of dangers overcome, and the
triumphs won for justice and humanity
can y that its work is finished, and that

Intoxication and Apoplexy.
In several articles we have Insisted en
th difficulty there frequently is in the
diagnosis between intoxication and fatal
apojdexy. In particular we have stated
thut apojdexy from cerebral hemorrhage
imitates not only the comatose stage of
drunkenness, but occasionally what we
call the "uproarious" stage. A recent
case exemplifies this remark. A gentle
man was found lying in a gutter by a
policeman; and, as the gentleman sang
"Tommy, make war for your uncle,"
and also said part of the Lord's prayer,
he was supposed to be drunk, and was
taken to the police office. Later on, as
beseemed to be in a fit, he was sent to a
hospital, and died there next morning of
apoplexy from disease of the brain.
Whether that apoplexy was owing to
cerebral or meningeal hemorrhage or not
we do not know. The difficulty is, of
course, tlie greatest when there is no his
tory, as in hospital and in police
cases. The apoplectic patient, from the
text-hook's point of view, is taken ill at
home, and under circumstances in w hich
the diagnosis, eo far as to exclude drunk
enness, is ready made. In hospital and
police practice, the history is too often
likejliat of this poor gentleman; he is
lound in a gutter insensible and uproar
ious. But not only may a patient be vio
lent in cacs of apoplexy to be speedily
fatil, but he mjiy, when otherwise appar
ently deeply insensible, perform elaborate
actions. We must be on our guard, and
not be misled by these cases. Let us
mention one or two cases of automatic
actions occurring during coma. We have
never seen actions so striking as that of
singing a comic 6ong in a case of apo
plexy. The " suggestion" of the particu
lar action often seems to be given by what
the patient was doing when his illness
set in. Thus, a woman, who had
fractured her skull by falling down stairs
while she was laying down some oil
cloth, kept arranging the counterpane
when partly insensible; she died in a few
hours. We have seen a lady who during
otherwise deep coma would elaborately
sponge her lace w hen the sponge was put
into her right hand, and this only a few
hours before her death. By the way, this
lady's symptoms at the outset were to the
iwpular mind so like those of drunken
ness, that she was hailed by the street
boys, " bec the drunken lady !" w hen she
was brought out of the house where she
was first taken ill. hometimes the auto
matic action is the survival of a deeply,
organized habit. Dr. II ughl in gs Jackson
has recorded the ca.se of a man who, dur
ing fatal cema, clalxrately twirled his
mustache. It was afterward found that
this was a very common trick of his. He
had been a soldier. We consider it a
great misfortune that such cases are often
looked on as mere scientific curiosities,
and, again, that a comparative study is
not made of the eflects of alcohol, epilepsy
and other comatiziog agents. We now in
sist, again, that the performance of very
clalmrate actions may be seen in cases of
apoplexy to lie speedily fatal ; they occur,
too, after epileptic seizures, and alter
drinking, llcnco, difficulties in diagno
sis. The cases are illustrative of Lay
cock's doctrine ot the rcllcx function of
the brain. A careful study of automatic
actions occurring in numerous cases of
insensibility from various causes, by the
light of several principles enunciated long
ago by Laycoek, would be very profitable,
not only as the menus of investigating im
jortant problems in that which is com
monly called the " physiology of mind,"
but lor the directly utilitarian purioscs of
diagnosis and prognosis." British Medi

The Tomb of Charlemagne.
' Grace Greenwood" recently made a
pilgrimage to the tomb of Charlemagne.
Leaving the train at Aix-Ia-Chapelle, on
her way from Brussels to Cologne, she
says: I was obliged to call in the aid of
both Church and IState a priest and a po
liceman iK-fore I could find the entrance
to the old, old chaiK.1 designed and erected
by Charlemagne for his own grand burial
place nearly a thousand years ago.
Around this chapel later additions have
lecn built, and there is a lolly modern
choir, made almost entirely of beautiful
stained glass. But these things had little
interest for me. I only felt that the mon
arch of monarchs had stood where I was
standing, planning royally for his own
sepulcher. I only saw on the marble slab
at my feet the brief, great inscription,
"Carlo Magno." I knew he was not rest
ing beneath the s'ab that it only marked
the spot where once stood his tomb, which
" dread abode" was broken into by Otto
III., and the great Emperor was found,
not reposing in a coffin, but seated in a
throne-like chair of white marble, arraj ed
in royal robes, crowned, sceptcred and
with his familiar pilgrim's pouch at his
side. On his knees rested a copy of the
Gospels, and at his hand, as though ready
to defend it, was his favorite sword Joy
euse. There is something awfully grand
in such an entombment. He had sat
there in silence and in night for nearly
200 years, waiting for the resurrection
which came all too soon. The fragrance
of rare gums and spices used in his partial
embalmment must have fainted in the mold,
and colors of rich silk and thu sheen of
gold died out in the darkness, but it seems
to me the sleeping light of these crown
jewels must have dreamed of the sun and
cast soft, tremulous gleams down on the
open pages of the Word. He should
have been left sitting there in state while
at least his grand chapel shall endure, but
the stone was rolled away from the sepul
cher, not by angels, but by hungry relic
hunters and saint-mongers, and they laid
desecrating and dissecting hands upon
him parted not only his raiment, but his
skeleton took him to pieces bone by bone,
and have distributed him alout among
ministers and monasteries. A dead Em
peror of that quality was too much for a
chapel of this size to have all to itself. It
preserves, however, his skull, the dark
ened shell of an extinct st ir of sovereignty
a gigantic tibia the real chair in which
he sat, and which was afterward used at
the coronation of Emperors, and the
Parian sarcophagus in which rested his
tired feet all through those 200 years.
What a Cent Might Hare Produced.
You have had, of late, considerable to
say in regard to the accumulation of great
debts ami great fortunes. Perhaps it
would not be out of place to add something
about the rapidity with which money in
creases when put at compound interest. I
have seen, since my earliest recollection,
many calculations of this sort, but noth
ing which exactly meets the case as the
following:
"If, at the birth of our Saviour, one cent
hid leen put out at compound interest, it
would, as we all know, have doubled at
the expiration of twelveyears. At the end
of twenty-six years it would have been
four cents of thirty-six years, eight
cents. Now, continuing this process, we
find that in 120 years any sum, put out
at compound interest, will "have increased
1,000 fold, or the one cent have become
10. In 120 years more, or A. D. 240, the
flO, increasing 1,000 fold, would have
equaled $10,000. Then, for every 120
years we must add three ciphers, or, say,
in the year 600 A. D., the sum would be
ten millions taken one million times, or
enough to give every one of our 40,000,000
inhabitants a fortune ot a quarter of a
million dollars each. The increase now
becomes stupendous, and to handle it at
all we must take the value in pounds
weight, and finally cubic feet of gold.
Gold is worth in round numbers $200 a
pound. There are about twenty pounds
of gold to every pound ot water in a cubic
toot. A cubic foot of water weighs sixty
five pounds, about; gold consequently
1,300 pounds per foot, valued at $200,000
say one-quarter of a million dollars, or
to the million dollars go four cubic feet ot
gold. At the end of oOO years, then, we
should have from one cent in the begin
ning, 40,000,000 feet of solid gold. Con
tinuing this process, we must soon use
cubic miles as our unit, and, finally, wa
reach the stupendous result that in th
year 1900 A. D., one cent put out at com
pound interest would have increased to a
sphere of gold whose center being placed
at the center of the sun would extend be
yond the path of the earth around that
body, in all directions, and necessarily as
far above and below the plane of the
earth's revolution. Cor. N. . nu t.

A Rotable Work for tht Centennial.
Undoubtedly one of the most Interest
ing, novel and unique works of art exhib
ited at the American Centennial w ill be
an architectural plan of this historic city.
The dimensions are o:0 feel from north to
south and 231 feet from east to west. All
the characteristics of the capital will b
portrayed with the greatest fidelity, as, for
instance, the irregularity of the heights of
buildings, the color of the frontings, the
signs on the business houses, the number
of doors, windows and balconies on each
street, the pavements and sidewalks. Tliii
model city will be peopled by 00,000 hu
man figures of good size, made of lead
and adorned exquisitely, representing men
in various fashionable national costumes
and otherwise, ladies elegantly dressed for
the opera, ball and social party, besides
types from the common people. Fruil
venders, ice-cream venders, oorters, water
carriers, etc., with their fantastic outfits,
will be given to life. There will be no
less than 1,000 coaches and an equal
number of other vehicles, besides artillery
pieces mounted on carts. Nearly all the
noticeable buildings will be visible the
grand cathedral, the principal Catholic
churches, the mint, offices ot the railroads,
the National Library, the School of Fine
Arts, the Hotel Iturbide, and others. The
national palace and other notable build
ings are not constructed in the plan, but
proper step3 have been taken to get per
mission to do so. When included, the
work w ill be complete. The idea of this
novel undertaking originated with Don
Francisco Tajardo, Antonio Fomas, Fran
cisco Cervantes, Manuel Acosta and An
doquio Sanchez, all well-known and en
terprising citizens. They have associated
with them Don mcente Hernandez, an
eminent mechanic and artist. When the
project was at first broached, nearly two
years ago, it M as thought that so daring a
piece of enterprise could not be completed
in time, but the gentlemen having it in
hand went to work energetically and will
have it ready, at the proier date, for ship
ment to Philadelphia. A Mexican writer,
speaking of the work says, satirically,
that the distinguished foreigners who be
lieve that the Mexicans still dress in feath
ers and shoot with arrows, will be aston
ished to gaze upon the magnificent toilets
of the ladies, the walking-canes of the
fashionables, and the love of handsome,
picturesque costumes which characterizes
the descendants of the Aztecs and the
Spaniards. When the whole plan alluded
to is completed and set up according to
the model, in the Centennial building, it
is certain that no other notable object can
attract greater attention. City of Mexico

Buffaloes and Wolves on the Plains.
One of our citizens who has a ranch
some hundred miles down the Platte tells
us that he recently went out with a hunting
party and killed six buffaloes. On skin
ning them every one was found to have
more or less bullets lodged in its body,
which were fired into it so long ago that
the wounds were entirely healed up. One
animal had four balls in it. Another had
a large Sharpe's rifle ball an inch and a
half in length, imbedded just under the
skin, in the center of a callous the size of
a man's fist. The fact that the balls were
taken from buffaloes that were shot at
random in the herd shows to what a terri
ble lusihvle the' are subjected. The bun
ters say that a large portion of the buffa
loes they kill have old bullets imledded in
their carcasses. The ranchmen down the
river say that gray wolves are very plenty
and troublesome nowadays. One gentle
men tells us that ho has had several full
grown cattle killed by them. It is not an
infrequent thing to have cows come in to
the river with their udders chewed up
and their flanks bearing the marks of
teeth. If a calf is separated from the main
herd, it is almost always sure to le eaten,
or, if a steer or cow gets sick and strag
gles off from its companions it is fre
quently killed by the wolves. Formerly
buflaloes have been so plenty that these
gentry found no difficulty in getting food.
The indiscriminate slaughter of buffaloes
for their hides, and the leaving of meat
on the ground, gave them plenty to eat
Now the' are turning their attention to
domesticated cattle. The impudence of
these wolves, especially the coyotes, is
almcst beyond belief. They will come
down on a ranch w ell defended by dogs,
and break into the poultry house or steal
any meat that may be within reach in de
fiance of their canine enemies, whom they
will often defeat in a pitched battle. Fre
quently when the hunter or herder is be
lated and camps out on the prairie, using
his saddle for a pillow, they will sneak up
and liberate his horse by gnawing the
lariat, one end of which is fastened to the
saddle. One person we know has had his
shoe taken out from under his head and
partly devoured by a coyote. Ureetey Sun.
Courage and Fear of Death.
The Chinese of the southern deltas, who
have little active courage, though the
Chinese of the north and west have plenty,
will die for a bribe to save a richer crimi
nal from the sentence he has earned. The
Bengalee, who alone among mankind says
calmly, " Arme bheroo," "I am timid,"
as if cowardice were matter of moral and
social indifference, or rather creditable
than otherwise, goes to execution, as Mac
aulay noticed, like a hero, and will en
counter an inevitable and agonizing death
without a llutter of the pulse. His nerve
is as great as Waiuwrinht's, who died
without a perceptible change in the stead
iness of his heart-beats, but who unlike
the Bengalee with an object before him
would probably have ruslied upon the
cajanon. The Mala', who cannot be in
duced or compelled to face rocKets, dies
as tranquilly as Casabianca; and the Cinga
lese ot the coast, who will fight nobody,
meets death without a murmur or a pang.
An English sailor of the old type, who
would face anything earthly except a black
cat, has probably twice as much fear of
death as the cultivated woman w ho can
endure death by a deadly operation re
signedly, yet faint in the presence of any
noisy danger. The wild romancer, Gus
tave Aimard, states as a fact within his
knowledge, that a Spanish officer shot
himself dead rather than cross a rope sus
pension bridge ; and we can vouch lor the
following story, though we must not give
names: An Euglish ensign just joined be
fore the first Sikh campaign, went to his
commanding officer, a relative, and told
him that he could not face the shot, that
he should disgrace himself, and must re
sign. His relative comforted him kindly,
told him that he was only nervous, and
thought that he had soothed his fear; but
the lad as he stepped out of the tent, shot
himself through the brain, inviting death
rather than meet a call upon his courage.
London Spectator.
Woman and Her Boots.
Woman is not in the habit of taking the
advice so freely offered to her in a kindly
spirit by man. She listens apparently to
all he says as to the inconvenience and ex
travagance of her dress and of its preju
dicial effect on hcrhealth, but she pays no
attention to his warnings, and resolutely
follows the path of her own inclinations,
even though it lead to the work house or
grave, with that firmness which is one of
her most charming characteristics. At
this season of the year, however, when,
owing to the treacherous nature of our
climate and the greasy condition of our
pavements, outdoor exercise is often as
dangerous as it is beneficial, woman can
hardly fail to see the absurdity of her
high-heeled boots. It is quite impossible
for her to walk with any ease, comfort or
safety to herself in these instruments of
torture, which, by throwing her out of the
perpendicular, give her the appearance of
the leaning tower of Pi3a, and produce an
impression on spectators that she may at
any moment topple over. Her boots,
also, are far too thin for walking pur
poses, and it was only hist week that an
inquest was held on the body of a young
lady who, owing to a nail piercing the
sole of her boot, received such an injury
to the foot that she died of lockjaw.
Woman, moreover, now that she takes so
active a part in the business of life and is
almost ubiquitous, requires to be strongly,
if not ponderously, shod, so that, when
necessity arises, she may hold her own
with man, returning kick for kick with
that fascinating but foolish creature. A
few words from the pulpit would, per
haps, induce her to take the question ol
boot reform into her serious consideration

Best Food for Swine.
What would be considered the best
food for swine in summer would not an
swer the same purjose in winter. In
summer such food should be given as
would keep the animal in an improving
condition and would cause it to lay on a
little fat, but not so much as to cause it
to suffer from the heat, sis a fat ixrker
undoubtedly does. Cooling foods, such
as plenty of young clover and bran and
middlings, is what we use much of, not
forgetting to give regular and abundant
supplies of fiesh, cool water. In putting
up swine for exhibition purposes wc have
tried many different kinds of food lor the
fall exhibitions, but have found none so
desirable as a slop made of corn and oats
ground together, one-third of the former,
by measure, to two-thirds of the latter.
One of the best ways to prepare it is to
scald it at night and feed next morning;
put on the mass only enough hot water to
thoroughly moisten it, and then cover up
the barrel tight, so as it ean steam well
and make the mass mellow and nice by
morning. If it is found undesirable to
scald it, moisten the mass with water and
then put in one or more pans of sour milk
thick milk or clabber to cause it to
sour by the time it is used. We use both
or cither plan, and find them both good.
As an ordinary summer feed we have
found this food to answer almost all pur
poses, though we do not feed so high as
when feeding the animals for exhibition
purposes, as experience has abundantly
proved that the breeding stock should not
lc very fat, only in a healthy growing
condition, io insure healthy, vigorous
offspring. The refuse from the truck
patches, such as tomatoes, cabbage, etc.,
come nicety into play tor summer food in
connection with the above slop, as do
apples windfalls pears, etc. American

The Best Time to Son' Grass Seed.
A cheat many farmers sow their grass
seed in the former part of the growing
season, as they fancy that time to be a
more favorable period than any other, for
the reason that it will be better to sow the
grass seed with clover seed. If the clover
seed be sown in autumn the young plants
will seldom attain sufficient size to endure
the frosts of winter unharmed. As a rule,
the best time to sow grass seed is when
winter grain is put in. Of course some
thing will depend on the season as to
moisture. It is of but little use to sow
seed when the ground is as dry as dust,
which is sometimes the case. Some farm
ers who have long practiced autumn
sowing lor grass consic'.cr the whole
month ol" Septemler a suitable season. It
is desirable to have the young plants ob
tain so good a hold on the soil that they
will endure the winter; but so much
growth as to form a mat on the surface of
the ground tends ti attract the field mice
and also to kil? the grass by w hat is called
" smothering. " But in the spring the
temptation to realize an immediate bene
fit from the land is so strong that manv
are unwilling to sow grass seed by itself.
When sown by itself in spring its growth
is more or less checked by weeds. In
autumn few weeds start, and the grass
gets full possession of the ground, show
ing the following year a cleaner crop
more free from foul plants than is usual
ly obtained from spring sowing. Seeding
land In early autumn will permit the re
newal of the sward without any intermis
sion that is, without the loss of a crop.
If land is plowed alter the hay crop has
been taken off and the grass seed sown, a
crop of grcss may be mowed the following
year. When grass seed is sowed in early
autumn better sward w ill usually be ob
tained than is produced by sowing grass
seed with any grain crop in the spring.
When grass and grain are sown together
the grain leads in the growth, ana if it
does well the gra6s will be kept in sub
jection. If the weather is dry for some
time before the grain is harvested the
moisture will be drawn from the grass,
and the hot sun to which it is exposed
after the grain is removed w ill destroy the
little life which remains.
The next question is as to the kind and
quantity of grass seed. So far as grass is
i wanted for hay, and jcrmancnt meadow is
the object, the best species lor this section
arc timothy or herds-grass (PJdcum pra
tense) and red top (Agrostis ruffart). A
peck of the former and from half a bushel
to a bushel (according to cleanness) of the
latter may be sown to the acre. It is ad
visable to sow enough white clover seed
to give a thick bottom" to the crop, ami
impart an agreeable odor and relish to the
hay. A quart or a couple of pounds of seed
to the acre will be sufficient. Some people
seem to have an idea that grass seed can
not be sown too thick ; but those who
have closely observed know that too many
plants on the ground weaken themselves
in the " struggle for life," many of w hich
die prematurely.
The mixture of seeds, though usually
so much paraded as being the result of a
critical examination of the sorts suitable
for varied situations, is too often a quack
prescription made by men who could not
distinguish one grass from another, either
in the growing or the dried state. Indeed,
with most of the grass fornviltt it is a
mercy that only a tithe of the seed should
possess the power of germination. N. V.
Herald.
Weather Precedents.
That "oldest inhabitant" has at last
forsaken his hiding-place, and, referring
to the journal kept by the Uev. Thomas
Smith, of Portland, Me., makes the fol
lowing interesting statements in relation
to the winters of a century ago and more:
In 17&, January was pleasant and
moderate, and February was a "summer
month." In 17JJM, January came in like
April; in 1740, there were but two snow
storms; February was a summer month
again, and March the same. In 1751,
Jan. 15, 1hc frost was entirely out of rt
ground, February was like spring, and
" winter ends a wonder through the
whole." In 1750, in January, the fish, as
the' arc reported to have done this year,
"struck in" from the sea, the weather
being so warm. February was delight
ful, and March blustering, but soli as
May. In 1773, Mr. Smith records a sum
mer day on Jan. 27, "wonderful moder
ate," and Feb. 9, " no snow since Dec. 2!)
wonderful weather. We saw two
robins."
In the year 1705, Feb. 27, the New York
Gazette, and Post-Hoy reports that "last
Thursday the weather was so uncommon
warm that young lads went into the river
to swim. In 1772, the temperature was so
high in England that leaves came out on
the trees in January, and birds hatched
their broods in February. In 17W), the
weather was equally mild, and the maid
ens of Cologne wore wreaths of violets
and corn Howers on Christmas and on
Twelfth Day. In 1421, the trees flowered
in the month of March, and the vines In
April. Cherries ripened in the latter
month, and grapes appeared in May. In
l-72, the trees were covered with leaves in
January, and the birds hatched their
young in February, as in 1772. In 177.1,
the same thing was repeated, and it is
added that the corn was in the ear at
Eafter. There was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters of
13:5, 1007, 1000, 1017and 10TU. Finally,
in 1072, even in the north ol Germany, the
stoves were not lighted, and the trees
flowered in February.

"Know Xliv Opportunity."
The grim monster. Death, was stealthily
approaching. I could almost feel his hot,
fiery breath upon my forehead. My faith
less goddess, llygeia, had utterly deserted
me. Only now and then would Morpheus
befriend me, but on this auspicious day, he
had deigned to moisten my eyelids with
heavenly ambrosia, and I slept. As I slept,
behold, I had adream! I thoughtthat I was
roaming upon foreign soil whither my phy
sician had sent me to recover my health. I
was in a great metropolis one of the grand
marts of the world. In one of my strolls I
chanced to meet a man who had in his hand
a handsomely-bound volume, entitled " The
People's Common Sense Medical Adviser,"
and who said that he was an agent for the
6ale of the book. The title was such a novel
one that I was impelled to give the work a
casual notice. As I hastily glanced over its
pages, I observed that it contained treatises
not commonly found in medical works. But
1 had too many times been hoaxed by ap-
Eearances, and I determined that I would
ave nothing to do with.it A voice within
me, like a faithful mentor, whispered,
" Know thylopjHtrtunity; in that book is ttiy
salvation !' I began reasoning with myself.
Although doubtful and distrustful, yet I put
forth ray band to take the book, and, lo! the
agent was gone! I was miserable. In my
agony I awoke. Great drops of perspira
tion were upon my brow. By my
bedside was a friend who had called
during my slumber to see me.
Said my friend, "I have brought
with me a book, just published, which I
thought might interest you." One glance
at the work, and I was assured that it was
"The People's Common Sense Medical Ad
viser," by Dr. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N
T. Surely thU was the veritable book which
I had seen In ray dreams. My friend loaned
me the work, and every day, as my strength
permitted, I perused its pages. Although
it contained very interesting treatises on Bi
ology, Cerebral Physiology, Human Temper

ing an invalid, f was most interested in the
subject of Diseases and Remedies. I be
lieved that I had a liver affection, and yet
more than one medical attendant had pro
nounced my disease Consumption, and that
I would fall with the autumn leaves. In
that book I found my symptoms perfectly
portrayed. I was then confident that I had
not deceived myself. I reasoned thus: "Any
man who can eo truthfully depict my feci
ines, and apparently understands my con
stitutional tendencies, must know jut what
my physical system demands. I will trut
my case with Dr. Pierce. I will take his
Golden Medical Discovery as recommended
for my disease." The result is, that after
having perseveringly followed bis prescribed

A Valuable Work.
The Centennial History of Vu United
Stolen, from the Discovery of the American
Continent to the Close of the Firti Century
of American Independence. By Jamet D.
McCabe, Author of " A Manual of General
History," "Pathway$ of th Holy Land,"
Etc., Etc.
There has long been a great and universally-felt
want of a History of the Unit
ed States suitable for general use. This
want is now being supplied by the Na
tional Publishing C?., of Chicago, 111.,
who have issued a handsome volume,
styled "The Centennial Hfstory of the
United States," by James D. McCabe, a
well known historical writer. This work
will, undoubtedly, take rank as the Stand
ard History of the United States. It is no
dry mass of details no bombastic effort
to inflame the national pride, but is a
clear, vivid and brilliant narrative of the
events of our history, from the discovery
of the American Continent down to the
present time.
We most heartily commend this book to
our readers. It gives a very interesting
account of the Indians of North America,
from the time of the coming of the white
men. The voyages of Columbus, the ex
plorations of the different nations of Eu
rope, and the wanderings of the SpaniarJs
in search of gold and immortal youth, are
told with graphic power.
Every step of our colonial history is
traced with patient fidelity, and the sources
of those noble, and we trust, enduring in
stitutions which have made our country
free and great, are shown with remarka
ble clearness. The causes of out great
struggle for Independence are told with a
logical force and ability unsurpassed ia
any work of the day. Then follows a
clear and succinct account of the forma
tion of the Federal Constitution; the es
tablishment of the Union; the course of
affairs until the breaking out of the Sec
ond War with England; and a full and
comprehensive account of that War and
its results. The events of our career from
the close of that contest to the commence
ment of the Civil War, follow in their or
der. The history of this Civil War is re
lated with intense vigor, and with a strict
fidelity to truth ; and the work closes w ith
an account of the course of affairs since
the end of that great conflict. The au
thor writes throughout with the calmness
and impartiality of a historian, and
pleads the cause of no party or section.
He states facts, points out the lessons
which they teach, and appealing to neither
passion nor political feeling, trusts to the
good sense of his countrymen to sustain
his views. In order to render the work
complete in every respect, the author has
added to it an appendix, giving an account
of the approaching International Centen
nial Exhibition.
It is comprised in one large, handsome
octavo volume of 925 pages, and contains
412 fine engravings on steel and wood of
historical personages and scenes. The
price is so low that all can afford to pur
chase a copy, and eac h subscriber is pre
sented with a superb lithographic engrav
ing of the Centennial Exhibition build
ings and grounds. The book is sold by
subscription only, and the publishers want
agents in every county. See advertise

of delay makes yonrcure more hopeless, and much
depends on the j ndicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. Schenck's Pul
monic Syrup, as a cure for consumption, far ex
ceeds all that can be brought to support the preten
sions of any other medicine. See Dr. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many per
sons of the highest respectability, who have been
restored to health, after being pronounced incurable
by physicians of acknowledged ability. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; butthe cure is often promoted
by the employment of two other remedies which
Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These ad
ditional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pill?. By the timely use of those
medicines, according to directions. Dr. Schenck
certifies that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.

ICheomatlam at Symptom or Other Dis
eases. The alarming extent of chronic rheuma
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. It has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result of other com
plicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is a symptom. It is
also found that, by the removal of the com
plicated disease, the rheumatism disappears,
as a result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with joy
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms of these diseases
are gcnerully present in eases of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
