IMPORTANT AM> INTERESTING STATEMENTS, Read, Mark and Inwardly I»l*est— Something for Everybody. Ashbuknham, Mass., Jnn. 14,1880. Ihftve been very sick over two years. They all gave me up as past cure. 1 tried the most skillful physicians, but they did not reach the worst part. The lungs and heart would fill up every night and distress me, and my throat was very bad. I told my children I ■ever should die in peace until I had tried Hop Bitters. I have taken two bottles. They have helped me very much indeed. I shall take two more; by that time I shall be well. There was a lot of sick folks here who have seen liow they helped me, and they used them and are cured, and feel as thankful as 1 do that there is so valu able a medicine made. Yours, Mrs. Julia G. Cusiiing. Battle Creek, Mich., .Tan. 31, 1880. I have used Beven bottles of Hop Bit ters, which have cured me of a severe chronic difficulty of the kidneys and have had a pleasant effect on my sys tem. Rodnet Pearson. Wai.iiend, Kansas, Dec- 8. 1879. I write to inform you what great re lief I got from taking your Hop Bitters. I was suffering from neuralgia and dys pepsia, and a few bottles have entirely cured me, and I am truly thankful for so good a medicine. Mrs. Mattie Cooper. Cedar Bayou, Texas, Oct. 28, 1879. Hop Bitters Co: I have heretofore been bitterly op posed to any medicine not prescribed by a physician of my choice. My wife, fifty-six years old, had come by de grees to a slow sundown. Doctors failed to benefit her. I got a bottle of Hop Bitters for her. which soon re lieved her in many ways. My kidneys were badly affected, and I took twenty or thereabouts doses, nnd found much relief. I sent to Galveston (or more, and word enme bwik none in the market, so great is the demand; but I got some elsewhere. It has restored both of us to good health, and wo are duly grato- ftil. Yours, J. P. Maget. New Bloomiyelp, Miss., Jan. 3, 1880. Hop Bitters Co. : 1 wish to say to you that I have been Buffering for the last five years witli a severe itching all over. I have heard of Hop Bitters and havo tried it. I have used up four bottles and it has done mo more good than nil the doc tors and medicines that they could use on or with mo. I am old and poor but feel to bless you for such a relief from your medicine and torment of the doc tors. I havo had fifteen doctors at mo. One gave me soven ounces of solution of arsenic; another took four quarts of blood from me. All they could tell was that it was skin sickness. Now, after these four bottles of) our medi cine, my skin is well, clean and smooth Rsovcr. Henry Knociie. Milton, Del., Feb. 10, 1880. Being induced by a neighbor to try Hop Bitters, I am well pleased with it as a tonic medicine, it having so much improved my feelings, and benefited my system, which was very much out of tone, causing great feebleness. Mrs. James Betts. Kalamazoo, Mich., Fob. 22,1880. Hop Bitters Mfo. Co. : I know Hop Bitters will benr recom mendation honestly. All who use them confer upon them the highest en comiums, and give them credit for mak ing cures—all the proprietors claim for them. 1 have kept them since they were first offered to the publio. They took high rank from the first, and main tained it, and are more culled for than all others combined. So long as they keep up their high reputation for purity and usefulness I shall continue to re commend them—something I have never before done with any other patent medicine. J. J. Babcock, ; Physician and Druggist. Kaiioka, Mo., Feb. 9, 1880. I purchased live bottles of your Hon Bitters of Bishop & Co. last fall, for my daughter, and am well pleased with the Bitters.

Mark Twain writes to the New York Evening Posl in reference to the reoent account from California about gold in solution in the Calistoga springs, and about the proprietor having “ extracted ,060 in gold of the utmost fineness from [ten barrels of the water ” during the past fortnight by a process known only to himself. “This,” Mark says. will surprise many of your readers, but it does not surprise me, for I once owned those springs myself. What dors rpriso me, however, is the falling-off the richness of tho water. In my me the yield was a dollar a dippcrful. am not saying this to injure the prop erty, in ease a sale is contemplated; I am only saying it in the interosl of his tory. It may be that this hotel proprie tor’s process is on inferior one—yes, that may be the fault. Mine was to tako my uuclo—I had an extra uncle at that time, necount of my parents dying nnd leaving kim on my hands—and fill him up, and let ltim stand fifteen minutes to give tho water a chance to fettlo well, then insert ltim in nn exhausted receiver, which had the effect of sucking the gold out through his pores. I have taken more than eleven thousand dollars out that old man in a day nnd a half. I should have held on to those springs but for ttie badness of the roads and the difficulty of getting the gold to market. consider that gold-yielding water in many respects remarkable ; and yet not more remarkable than tho gold-bearing air of Catgut canon, up there townrd the head ut the auriferous range. This air— this wind—for it is a kind of a trade wind which blows Bteadily down through six hundred miles of rich quartz croppings duting nn hour and quarter every day except Sundays, is ltoaviiy charged witli exquisitely fine and impalpable gold. Nothing precipi tates and solidifies litis gold so readily as contact with human flesh lieated by passion. The titno that William Abra hams was disappointed in love, ho used to step out doors when that wind wns blowing and come in again and begin to sigh, and his brother Andover J. would extract over a dollar nnd a half out of every sigh lie Bigltcd, right along. And the time that John Ilarbison nnd Aleck Norton quarreled nbout Harbl son’s dog, they stood there swearing at each other all they knew how—and what they didn’t know about swearing they could n’t learn from you and me, not by a good deal—and at the end of evory threo or four minutes they had to stop and make a dividend—if they didn’t their jaws would clog up so that they couldn’t get tho big nine syllabled ones out at all—and when tho wind was done blowing they cleared up just a little over sixteen hundred dollars apiece. I know these facts to bo absolutely true, because got them from a man whose mother I knew personally. 1 did not suppose a person could buy a water privilege at Calistoga now at any price; but several good locations along the courso of the Catgut canon gold-bearing trade wind aro for sale. Titty are going to be slocked for the Now York market.” LADIES’ DEPARTMENT. Adelaide Pjoctor. One day Charles Dickens, as he sat in the office of All the Year Round, making his way through tho mass of papers that lay on his table, was attracted and sur prised by the singular merit of some lines which had been sent him. Such a dis covery is always a refreshment to an editor, as he wades among the slough of manuscripts which surround him, and he glanced eagerly at the name with which the verses were signed. It was “ Mary Berwick.” Dickens had never before, to his knowledge, either heard this name or seen it in print, but there was the ring of true poetry in Mary Berwick’s lines, be she whom site might, and so they were inserted in the next number of the magazine. Months went on, and All the Year Round had frequent contributions of Miss Mary Berwick among its contents. Dickens, however, knew simply nothing about her, except that she wrote a legible hand. Hint he always, by her own wish, addressed all communi cations to her to a certain cir culating library in the west of London, and that when he sent her a check, she acknowledged it promptly, but in a very shorl, matter cf fact way. At length, one winter evening, when Dickens went to dine with the Proctors, he happened to putin his pocket, to show them, the Christmas number of All the Year Round, which was just coming out. He called their attention especially to what lie said was a very pretty poem by Miss Mary',Berwick. The nuthor of "Pick wick” remarked, to his astonishment, that those simple words ol his were re ceived by tho whole family with much suppressed merriment. He could not in tho least make out what wns in the wind, but he took it good-nnturedly, supposing it to be 3omc homo Christmns joke, and asked no questions. Next day the mystery of the unaccountable mirth of last night was clenrod up In a letter from Barry'Comwall to Dickens. . Mary Bcrwiok was Adelaido Proctor. And from that time forward, Miss Proctor took an acknowledged place among English poetesses.—The Argosy. THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Nevada’s Natural Phonumona. Nevada is a land of curious natural phenomena. Her rivers havo no visible outlet to tho ocean. Site has no lakes of any magnitude. She has vast stretches of alkali deserts, however, that give every indication of having boon the beds or bottoms of either sens or lnkes Down in Lincoln county thero is a spring of ice-cold water that bubbles up Over a rock and disappears on the other side, and no one has been able to find whPre the water goes. At ar.othe point in the same county is a larg spring, about twenty feet square, that i apparently only sorao eighteen twenty inches in depth, with a sandy bottom. The sand can be plainly seen but on looking closer itis perceived that this sand is in a perpetual state of un rest. No bottom has ever been found to this spring. It is said that a team ster, on reaching this spring one d>iy deceived by its apparent shallowness concluded to soak one of his wagon wheels to cure the looseness of its lire. He therefore took it off and rolled it into the, as he thought, shallow water, lie ncvei laid his eyes on that wagon wheel again Our mountains are full of caves and caverns many of which have been ex plored to a great distance. Speaking of caves, a redeo wns held last spring over in Huntington valley. During its pro gross quite a numbor of cattle wer< missed and for a time unavailing search was mnde for them. At last they wen traced to the mouth of a natural tunnel or cave in the mountain. The herder entered the cave, and following it for long distance, at lust found the cattle It appears that they had probably entered the cave, which was very nar row, in search of water. It lma finally narrowed so that they could proceed no further. Neither could they turn around to get out. They had been missed some days, and if they had not been found must inevitably have perished in a short time. As it waa they were extracted from their predicament witli difficulty by the herders squeezing past and get ting in front of them aud scaring them into a retrograde movement by flapping their hats into the faces of the stupid bovines.— Eur.ki Leader. M. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., chief of the United States bureau of statistics, has just made a showing which indicates that the United States would not gain very great commercial advantages by the completion of tho proposed Panama canal. The value of the commodities transferred from New York to San Francisco, and from San Francisco to New York, via Panama, for the year 1869 was $70,202,029, against $4,947,755 for the year 1879. The trade between all Atlantic ports and Pacific ports of the United States by way of Cape Horn lias correspondingly decreased. Mr. Nimmo also points out that the trade between San Francisco and other ports on the Pacific slope and Chicago, St. Louis and other cities of the Mississippi valley would not be at all affected by the proposed canal. "Umar" Futilon Holes. Gilt stitching nnd cashmere-colored tinsel work arc used to head rows of creamy lace on soft mull kerchiefs. Squares of jotted net will bo worn in handkerchief shape around the neck in the street, instead of the long scarfs of black lace. Lovely pointed collars entirely of jet beads, finished witli jet fringe, arc Bhown to wear with black dresses. Cashmere- colored beads mounted in the same way are also imported, and Berve as a gay finish for simple dresses. New veils of black net have dots ns large as a pea wrought with gilt threads, wlii.c others have pea dots of chenille— black, red, white, or else old gold. Rod net with tiny dots is also shown for veils. Grenadine veils of dark color have chenille dots of tho shade of the grenadine. New cravat bows aro made of tho gay Madras plaid Surah. Instead of a strap, a pearl pin holda.tlie two lnrge loops of the bow at tho top, while below this is a sailor knot finished with two pointed handkerchief corners. This Is worn with a round collarette made of three frills of the new Alcncon lace that is tinted crcnm in color. The single narrow balayeuse flounce added at the foot of the skirt will re main a favorite finish for winter cos tumes. At presont it is laid in small box plaits, instead of the fine knife- plaiting used last year. It is made of the silk or satin used for the dress or for its trimming, and is a finger deep, cut straight across the goods; it is lined throughout with crinoline, or else wig- gin of fine quality, with less stiffness than that used for facings. The silk is turned up half an inch on the wrong side, the box plaits are an inch wide, and the top of the flounce is sewed to the bottom of the skirt with a cording of silk, making a seam between the silk and the dress facing. Largo collarettes and fichus of round, straight, and square shapes are shown, as well a3 those that are three-oornered, or pointed in regular fichu fashion. A great deal of shirring is one of the new features of these articles lor the neck, and this is done not only on white and creamy mull muslin, but on colored mull in heliotrope, pink, lilac, and pale blue sltados. Some white satin is also introduced, aud ivory satin ribbons are used for the square and long-looped bows that adorn the collar. Still another novelty is silk muslin in dark change able colors, which is shirred in scarfs and trimmed with lace. Old gold with blue and heliotrope colors make pretty changeable tints for this soft fabric. A kind of Chinese crape with incised figures is new for cravat bows and col larettes in white and creamy tints. The large Directoire collars with notched revers and the full frills worn by Sara Bernhardt, with a liny square bow on tho left side of the nock, are stylish de signs for satin and lace collars; colored velvet with beaded trimmings is also employed in the same way. The effort seems to be to heap as much material ns posssible around the neck, and this is often done irregularly that the sides differ, and two or three designs are com bined in one. For instance, one of the richest novelties has first a white satin collar large enough lor a shoulder cape, and on this is mounted a Directoire revers collar of silk muslin, with three frills of plaited Languedoc lace, held oo the left side by an ivory satin bow. Care of Dnlry fowl. Dairy cows, says lbe Chicago Times, require a large amount of care, and if they do not receive it they will fail to be profitable. They demand more to eat than other kinds of stock, as much of the food they consumo is employed in the production of milk. If the supply of food is stinted, the yield of milk will bo lessened, for the ordinary waste ol the system will be provided for whether milk is seoreted or not- It is not enough to allow dairy cows tho range of a good pasture. This may afford sufficient food, and it may net. The growth of grass depends very largely on I lie season. If it is quite dry, the growth of grass will be small. If it is very wet, tho grass may be abundant, but it will be wanting in (lie elements necessary to produce sweet, rich milk. Where several dairy cows are kept on a farm there should always be provision for supplying them with food, when feed in the pasture is short. Corn fodder, raised by sewing Lite seed broadcast or by planting in drills, is one of the best substitutes lor grass. In footling late in the season, cabbages and pump kins are excellent. Even if the feed in the pasture is abundant and excellent, it is best to give milch cows some other kind of food if a large yield of milk is expected. Cornmeal, bran and shorts are all economical to feed in connection with grass. Many of the best dairv farmers in the West as well as in the East give their cows grain in some form, even whon the feed in the pasture is in the be9t condition. They find that the largest profit comes from high feeding. Most kinds of cattle may get along very well if they aro allowed water once a day and salt once a week, but cows giving milk should have access to good pure water at all times, and have an opportunity to taste salt evory day. Cows should never bo allowed to fall off in supplying on account of a lack of sufficient nnd suitable food. In sufficient lood may cause a cow to give two quarts of i ,n less than sho gave a few days pic ms. If an.ample supply of food bo turn afforded, the former yield of mi k will not be restored. Co ws should be milked at regular periods, and if possible by the same persons during tho entire season. They shculd be treated with kindness on all occasions, and every pninB taken to socuro quiet and the means of rest and comfort.

It is said that the torpedoes make a louder report than a gun. They would have to make a much louder report than a gun, to be nudible in the midst of a Thomas concert. It is a great error with farmers not to use more vegetable manures. They have here all the elements of fertility, nnd in better proportion than can otherwise be obtained. Where heavy manuring is not rcqu.reJ, the better way is[to sow stubble la id, without plowing, as soon ns the spring crop is removed, harrow ing well, Any Btrong growing plant may be grown. Let what weeds there aro also grow, the whole to be turned down in the fall. Rye may be] sown, nnd a furth<r growth given it in the spring before turning down. This is an excellent grain for this purpose. Tiien there are pons and clover, cheaply grown witli plaster, the former allow ingjjtwo pood crops to be turned down in a season, greatly ameliorating the soil. These have been tried, and nre reliable. Buck wheat is also a large yielder, and im proves the soil by shading aud suppress ing weeds, ltyo is well ndaptod for green manuring on sandy soil. Corn yields an immense amount of material to turn under. Some fields bear heavy ro wtln of weeds, like the daisy, Canada thistle, and a cloudjot coarse grasses in a wet season, all which, in stead of being the nuisance they aro usually considered to be, may be turned down with decided benefit. By far the greater portion of our land requires this kind of treatment. We see its effact most wh are mixed farming is practiced (the dairy or grazirg beiDg tho principal branch), and among fanners who make thorough wo k, whose motto is “sod for mnnure”—rot a few scattered fibers in the ground, but a thick network of roots, showing un- m sta'cably that the crops that produced suohsod were abundant in yield. Now such wealth of soil will produce, with out additional fertility,J«two Her more crops of grain as]ueavy, under favorable circumstances, as can be|grown without lodging, and leave the land in condition for Si’ 0 '*ing down again,iwith almost tho certaincy of a good catch and good re sults following, needing only some ma- n ire in addition to the fall growth, which should be allowed to all grass lands. Vegetable manure as a corrector of the soil, is notonly highly valuable and necessary to the highest success, but the only me ins we have of successfully and extensively improving the texture of the soil. All soilsroquire it except low, peaty land. Especially is it beneficial to the two extremes of clay and sand, giving mellowness to tho one nnd a re tentive character to tho other, deepen ing the color of each by the neeessay humus they lacked, favoring also the capacity for mo ! s nre, so necessary in our climate, t i sj much required by both,'particuariy.sen \.—Correspondence Country Cent cn .1 Recipes* Apple Custard.—Two eggs, six tablespoonfuls sugar, one cup cream; beat the mixture thoroughly and flavor strongly with lemon, unless some other flavoring is preferred.

Then he deter mined to got rid of it anyhow, and he took it to the depot the next day and threw it into the freight yard. Then he went inti tho depot for a minute, and on returning to his car found Borne one had picked up the can and left it for him. Quite exnsperated, lie chucked into an empty car that was just being hauled away toward Chicago, and he didn’t see it again until the next day, when it arrived in an express pack age on which he had to pay seventy-five cents. Then he tore around prodig iously, and tied it to a dog’s tail and the dog ran off with it, nnd this was an un lucky move, for half nn hour later the dog’s owner brought the can back and tried to thrash Mr. Brick for abusing his dog, the result being arrest and fines Then Brick waa thoroughly aroused, and lie took tho can and sunk it off a dock. The next day when ho entered his ear there stood something done up in a paper that he kucw to be his can, nnd he kicked it sixty feet intv the air, and had to pay thirty dollars for the valu able bird in the c.igc. Tlion he felt sure that ho was rid ol tho tiling, but a diver htfypened to find it nnd got thumped on the hoad for re turning it. Then Brick took the cn home, nnd at night filled it with dynn mitt i.nd exploded it. The people in the neighborhood, who were violently nurled from their bods by the shock, wtro quite indignant, and when they found out what caused it they attempted to tar and leather Brick, and he had to pay a heap for repairing tho windows wrecked. And to ndd to his horror he found lie had taken, instead of the can lie detested, a new one, and ho was about wild, and concluded that he never should get rid of the thing.

Cats have fared very differently in different countries. In Egypt in nneient times they were worshiped, nnd in Tur key the people, mindfnljof Mohammed’s pronounced pnrtinlity for the anima 1 , have ever since treated-, cats with dis tinguished consideration. On the otliei hand they were in the middle ages regard ed in France as fiends incarnnte, a view of ttiem not seldom taken here; and in Puris on St. John's day there was n feline holocaust,when sacks and baskets full ol cats were brought to the center of the Place de la Greve, where the sovereign put a torch to the piles of wood amici which they were burnt alive. Tho last sovereign who took part in this cere mony wns the Grand Monarque himsel r . Cardinal Richelieu was much addicted to cats, and had an Angora, his con stant companion, on which he lavished the tenderest caresses, while Colbert had half a dozen around him; but the affec tion entertained by these eminent men or cats in particular does not seem to have prompted them to intercede to save the Parisian pussies iu general from a hideous death. mn ur mm Sol4 Ur *N Medicine Dealers.
