MILLIONS Hear Testimony to tlielr
Wonderful Curative EflectN.
They arc not a vilo Fancy Drink* inode ot Poor
Kum* Whiskey* Proof Spirits and Refuse Li
quors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” *• Restorers, 1 Lc., that
lead the tippler onto drunkenness ami ruin, but arc a true
Medicine, made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Stimulant*.
They arc the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the System* carrying off all
poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con
dition. No person can take these Bitters according to
directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones
aro not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative as well ns a
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or
old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at
the turn oflifo, these Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Jnfluiniuntory ami Chronic Rheiinin
tisnt nmlGout, Dyfepepniaor Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent and Intermittent [Fevers,
Disease* of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys nnd
Bladder, these Bitters liavo been most successful.
Such Disenses aro caused by Vitiated Blood*
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache,
Pain in the Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of tho Chest
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of the Lungs, Paiu in the regions of the
Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the
offsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate tlio Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi
cacy in cleansing tlic blood of all impurities, and impart
ing now life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch. Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin. Humors and Dis*
eases of the Skin, of whatever namo or nature, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system iu a short time by
the use of these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed ami
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the system will follow.
Pin, Tape, anil other Worms* lurking in the
system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth
whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It
is not upon tho healthy elements of the body that
worms txiat, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worm* liko these Bitters.

Terrible Scene in a Menagerie-
A terrible nllair occurred in ilus
city yesterd iy m-rci«g. which, 10.
us exciting surrounding;;, rarely ever
finds a parallel in iLicount'v. —
Many of our citizens arc aware that
the square, bounded !iv T wet tv
sccind, Nas-uiu and B ihtni streets,
is occupied by ibe building of cm
townsman, Adam Forepaugli, Esq ,
as the winter quartets of his great
traveling menagerie. During the
present winter Mr. Forepaugli has
secured the services of Herr Dnri
ous, the celebrated anine i-ira tier,
front tlie Zoological Siicietv’s Gar
dens at Hamburg, Germany, and
placet I in his charge two magiiifi
cient royal Bengal tigers and iwo
line lio s They were to be tatndii
several feats of an mteiesting . bat
acter, more tor the. purpose of show
ing man’s power ove rtfte brute cit a
lion than for mere grai ifieniion of a
morbid appetite. Her r Darinas, in
| whose charge the animals were
j placed, is famous throughout Eu-
I rope for Ids great success in ir,-lining
wild animals, and liis abiliiy iu this
| line is well known among naturalists.
| For this rces'iu Mr. I’m •paugh sc
j cured his sei vices.
Arriving heir from liurope on
Clnislinus day, he i-moedialelv had
a large den < reeled in the south
building of solid white oak, three
incites illicit, with an opmi front, in
terlaced with iron bars crossing each
other at regular imcivals. At one
end there is u door through which
llie den is entered, and in the centre
is a swinging partition, which di
vides Ihr den into two a pari infills
and which may -be opened or closed
at the trainer’s will, in this strong
den tlio lions aud iig; is were pin.-cd,
separated by lie partition, except
when being trained, when tle-v wt-ie
permitted to lie together. Lvnv

The closing of ihe p.ailitioa, or fir
separation from liis male, eiirig.al
this lie ist, anti se-ing the Iraiui-r’s
face turned away, he m ale one I
spring, uttered a single ter die groan,
and m a second was on Heir Dm
oils’ hack, with his claws in liis hair
As the latter fell to iln* floor, lie ui
u-red a shout, which brought a nurn
her of the employees of i lie establish
ment to die scene, but tliei fear un
manned them, and prevented I hern
from rendering the trainer any as
sisiance. During this tune Darious,
with rare presence ol mind, lay per
fectly still knowing full well that a
single movement might result in his
instant death. The oilier animals,
seeing the aitac-k and hearing the
noise, set up simultaneously a terri
ble howling, roaring and groaning,
and the scene became a peril ct pan
demonium. The valuable perform
mg horses in the adjoining stable
were removed lest their terror should
overcome them.
The tumult reached the elephants’
quarters, and it was a matter ol
great difficulty to keep them quiet,
especially old -‘Romeo,” the mon
ster who kills a keeper every one or
two years ; the smaller elephants
were less disturbed. In the upper
story, a cocoon gnoo, or horned
horse, one of Mr. Forepaugh’s re
cent importations, and one of the
most vicious of all animals, broke
through his cage and made an im
mediate and terrible attack on one
ol the zebra cages, containinga beau
tiful and valuable animal. In less
I ban a moment the front was bat
tered down, and the poor zebra lay
dying, gored to death. Proceeding
to the den containing the great eland,
ihe gnoo began to battle at the wire
work here, but his horns becoming
entangled, he was captured and
placed in safe quarters, without do
ing further damage.
All this occurred in a verv short
space of time, and Herr Darious still
lay in the tiger’s den quiet as death,
when ihe proprietor, ot the esiab
fishmenl, Adam Forepnugli, sud
denly drove up in his carriage, and
entering isle building, look in the
situation at a glance. With the ra
pidity of thought, and wilh a daring
rarely equalled, he rushed directly
to the front of the den where D irioiis
lay, put his hand in, grasped one of
the tiger’s hind legs.drew it through
the hars, and bracing hrs feet pulled
with a strength never exerted be
fme—pulled for a human life The
tiger turned to see whence came
this attack in the rear, jusl as Mr.
I Fnrep.aiigli had foreseen he would
j turn : then h- shouted to Di> os-, nil
las the tiger loosened his hold, the
trainer spiang up, opened ihe rloot.
and escaped, luckily, with a f-w
j scratelie-. The scene was i.n.- ney
j <-r lo be t irgotien !>v those who wit
| iiessed il, and, but for the coolness
j m.l heioic lira very of Mr. Fme
j pau”l), wouhl have re.-uiteii iu JL-rr
Darious’ certain death. With the
exception of the dead zebra, valued
it $3,000, the damage done is slight.
What is Music. —lt is ari art
founded within the nature and be
ing of man. It is the language of
ilie heart, which reveals in euphoni
ous sounds tiie beauties of ihe soul.
It is the whisper of the emotion-;,
whose breath is -the revelations of
the sentimental in the life of man,
freed from casuhty and objectivity
through the -medium of sounds.—
j Music, iherelbre, is the analagous
expression of ihe soul itself.
| The laws for the development of
j t lie soul’s emotions are also the laws;
jol musical composition. The mate-1
j rial for sound is furnished by the j
! mechanism, w hich is regulated by
| physical laws. But this material
! only is not music, although it is in
the garment in which -he is dressed.
In the recesses of the human soul,
the tin aioiis, senlim-nts aud pas
.-ions Imm themselves into the
uh ids, which the an ist has simply I
jio eopv. The peculiarity of the
j feeling in the heart of different men
| gives individuality to a composition,
(■marks il as the fiuit of this or that
! man hut always traces it hack to
ihe h of lhe soul.
Tim-: Man Who Thought Mr
,\ i:\i.i; l’li.wKD.—The R.-v. Mr.
Kdpin passed a very profane man.
and having omitted to rebuke him,
he awaked him in the morning In the
same place. When lie approached
Mr. Kdpin said :
•Good morning, my Iriead ; you
me ilie person I have been waiting
lor.’
O ’, sir,’ said the man, ‘you are
.n-i ik. n I ilm k.’
‘I do mu know you ; but I saw
'On I isi night when you were goinu
'"■ne from woik and I have been
o''” me l line lo see \ on.’
‘si:, on iiie mi-taken; ii could
o' v- - '-ii me ; I never saw von
hi mv of h- lore ihiii I know of
•\Y T !!, 11 \ tril 1).1,’ said Mr. Kl
niu, "I li-- nil you pray lasi night.’
•Now 1 assume you iliai you are
nisiakcn ; I .ever proved in all my
I ile.”
■Oi’ -ni l Mr. Kdpin, ‘if-God had
answered your prayer last night, you
iiad not been seen In re this morning.
1 heard you pray tli il God would
destroy your eyes and rffin your
soul.’
The man turned pale, anil iremb.
iing, said :
‘D" vou call that prayer? i did,
I did.’*
‘Well, then, my errand this morn
ing is to request you from this day
lo pray as fervently for your salva
tion as you have done for* damna
tion and may God in mercy hear
yeur prayer.’
The mart from lhat time became
an attendant on Mr. Kilpm’s minis
try, and it ended in liis earlv con
version to God.
The Legend of Gambrinus.
The popular legend ol Gambrinus,
as related hv John Fiske, is as fol
lows: “Gambrinus was a fiddler,
who, being jilted by his sweetheart,
went out in the woods to hang him
self. As he was sitting on a limb,
with the cord around his necK, pre
paralory to taking the fatal plunge,
suddenly a tall man in a green coat
appeared before him and ottered
his services. He might become as
wealthy as he liked, and make liis
sweetheart hurst with vexation at
h-r own folly; but in thirty years
he must give up his soul to Beelze
bub. The bargain was struck, for
Gambrinus thought thirty years a
long time to enjoy one’s sell in, and
perhaps the devil might get him ui
any event —as well be hung for a
sheep as for a lamb. Aided by Sa
tan, lie invented chiming bells and
lager beer—for both of which a
c-hievements he is held ie grateful
remembrance by Teutons. No soon
er had the holy Roman Emperor
quaffed a gallon or two of the new
beverage than lie made Gambrinus
Duke of Brabant and Coun- oflNaii
ders ; ami then it was the fiddler’s
turn to laugh at the di-comfiimc ol
hi- old sweetheart. Gaiuhriipis kept
clear of women, says the legend,and
so lived in peace. For thirty years
he sat beneath his belfry with the
chime, meditatively drinking beer;
with his nobles and burghers around
him. Then BCelzetigb sent Jocko,
one of Ins imps, with orders to bring
buck (iamtiriuus before midnight.
But Jo. Uo was, like Swivellet’s
marchioness, ignorant of the. taste of
fieei, never,h iving drank of it even
I a sip, anil the Flemish schoppen
j were too much lor him. He tell in
jto a drunken sleep, and did not wa
-1 ken till noon ihe next day, at which
he was so mollified that lit- had noi
the face to go bat k to hell at sill. So
Gauibrinus lived on tranquilly fora
eeotuty or two, and drank so much
fleer lhat he turned into a beer bar
rel.
: Cardinal Cullen, of 10-lund. is a
veiy determined opponent of intem
perance. In a letter to one of his
priests, exhorting b in to renewed
(flints against the vice, he gays:
“Half the actual evils of Ireland
have their origin in intemperate hah
its, and, il you < xunine ihe history
of families reduced to misery anil
starvati ui, vmi will gi-neiallv [race
the cause of their ruin to die same
disgraceful some . But wh. t are
these temperate evils when com
pared to the lint vest of iniquit y t"
which drinking gives ri-e ! Almost
all the crimes—the dis-en.-ions, the
fighting, the swearing, the conspira
cies, the robberies, the murders, tin
secret and illegal cotiibinniions, ttn
gross iin-i oralim s— oceasi niallv
committed in In bind can he (raced
hack to this vice. V/ere il not lo
this unfott'iliat<- habit our country
would be 'almost Ir- e from guili. and
again merit ih-- tide of the bland ol
8 lints.”
/ !t!l l is - , b : i <iiinih trill Viirt. —
Two persons weic born at tin- spin
place, at the sum- moment of li-ne.
Alter an age of fifty years they Imll
died, also at ih> same place and a'
the same install!, m i one Inal lived
one hundred days more than the oth
er. How was dns possible? Not to
keep oar friends in suspense, p e .v
I (it ion turns on a curious, but with a
li'tle reflection, n very obvious po tit
in circumnavigation. A person <,,,
iug around the world lowaul die
west, 10.-cs a day, and toward the
east, he gains one. Supposing, then,
two persons horn tog- tie r at die
C -pe of Good Hope, whence a voy
age round the woild may he per
formed in a \e t r ; if one performs
I his constantly towards die west, m
fifty years he will h • fifty days be
hind the Stationary inlinhipinis ; and
it the other sail equady toward dr
east, he W'll lie fit'y ,lav - in advanci
of them. On-. im reform, will have
seen one iiuuvlieil clays more than
the other, though they were born
and died iu ihe same [dace and al
die same motn- lit. and even ■ed
continually in the same latitude, and
reckoned by die same calendar.
Gikls Don't I'ai.k Slang
Girls don’t talk slang ! fl u is neces
sary that any one in Hit* family should
do that, let your fug brother', though
1 would not advise him not to tab
‘Pigeon English,* when tiieie is an
elegant systemal zed language that
he caujusi as well u.-e ; but don’t you
do it. You have uo idea how it
sounds to ears unused or averse to it,
to hear a young lady, when she i
asked to attend same place of amuse
ment answer—‘N >t much or if re
quested to do something she does
not wish to—‘Can’t see it !’ Not long
agol heard a Miss, who is educated
and accompli.-hed, say, in speaking
of a young man, that she intendi and
to ‘go lot him ! and when her sister
asked her assistance at some work,
she answered—‘Not for Joel’ Now,
young ladies of unexceptional char
acter and really good education, fall
into this habit, thinking it shows
smartness to answer buck in slang
phrase; aud they soon slip flippant
ly from their tongues with a saucy
perliiess lhat is riot lady-like or be
coming. Young men who talk in
that way, do not care to hear it from
the lips they love or admire. It
sounds much coarser then. And,
really, slang does not save time in
use ol language, as an abbreviation.
No ! is shorter and much more de
cided than ‘Not much,’ ‘I am sure,’
is quite as easily said as ‘l’ll bet!’
More than one promising wedding
has been indefinitely postponed by
such means; tor however remiss
young men may he themselves, they
look for better tilings in the girls ol
their choice ; and it does not not help
them lo mend a bad habit to adopt
il too. —Suulhtrn Former.
A Country Without Women.—
There is only one territory of any
size, and iu ver has been but one,
occupied by any considerable popu
lation, from which woman is abso
lutely excluded. Yet, such a place
exists to-day, and has existed for
centuries. As fir 1> ick as lustoiy
reaches, to all females,Tt has been
forbidden ground. This bachelor’s
Arcauia is situated on a bold pla
teau between the old peninsular of
Aole, in the Grecian Archipelago,
and the main land. Here in the
midst of cultivated fields and exten
sive woodlands, dwells a mofistic
confederation of Greek Christians,
with twenty-three convents, and
numbering more than seven thou
sand souls, and not one of the mou-

tire rule is extended to even female
ere, nitre, and from lime immemorial
no cow, mare, ben, duck, or goose
has been permitted to make no
qtiait.lance with hill or valley of Mt,
At bos Territory. A traveler was
startled by the abrupt question,
•‘What sort of human creatures are
women r” The very idea of won an,
whether as mother, wife or sister, is
a!uio?i lost. To till woman haters,
to bachelors of forty years’stamlino,
to all men who seek refuge Irom ihe
wiles and ways of tin opposite sex,
this region can be safely recommend
ed as a haven of refuge.

W 4 ar AND ttCPAIR OF THK BralN.
The notion that those who work on
ly with their brains needs less food
than those who labor with their
hands, has been cause of untold mis
chief. Students and literary men
have often been the victims of a .-low
starvation, from their ignorance of
the fact that mental labor causes
greater waste of tissue than muscu
lar. According to careful estimates,
three hours of hard study wear out
the body more than a whole day of
work at the anvil or on the farm.
“Without phosphorus, no thought,”
is a German saying 5 ?*and the con
sumption of that essential ingredient
of the brain increases in proportion
to the amount of labor which ihe or
gan is requited to pet form. Ths
wear and tear of the brain are easi
ly measured by carelul examination
of the salts in the liquid excretions.
The importance of the brain as a
working organ is shown by the
amount of blood it receives, which
is proportionally greater than that of
any other part of the body. One-
Blih of the blood goes to the brain,
though its average weight is only
one-fortieth ol the weight of the body.
This fact alone would be sufficient
to prove that, brain workers need
more food and better than mechanics
and farm laborers.— R u Southland.
Keeping lrith Potatoes in South
Carolina. —A ifouth Carolina cor
respondet of the South/rn Cultivator
makes the following remarks con
cerning keeping of Irish potatoes:
“1 have found no difficulty in sum
mer or winter in keeping lush po
tatoes, When I dug my crop this
summer, I put them on the ground
floor of my smoke-house—some in
a long box wherein T had salti-d
meal —sprinkled lime among them,
ind they have kept remarkably well.
I have done this for several years,
and have invariably been successful.
One year I tiied them in a dry well
(fourteen feet deep,) they kept well.
The secret of the whole thing, I
think, is the lime.” Irish potatoes
can be produced in great abuud »pcc
with very little labor, in rich, loose
ground. All farmers should raise
plenty ot lira wholesome vegetable,
