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. J. WALKER. Proprietor. R. H. MCDONALD & CO., D'—ggists and Gep.

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 day during lhe wiu'er, Uerr Dart* oils bus entered this den, opened tip partition, and ‘-interv it-vv. and” the monarehs of ill - glad, and'lor si.— V esterdav m rnmg, w -ile the i ram r was among ’his” pe. ’ Ihe | g. as. an' some in kllu--> no. >-. l> im- In exlll ait S gns of II !d i ;p'e I u . -u'li a-Si -1 aping iii fl a "ill. . | ciaw . a 111 liril-Ili-Ig 111. j.

I- av i ll g him alone wit a a single I iger 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 !

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- No. 44 asteries dates Irorn a t,. ilt s , die twelfth cei tuiy.

Nor is this all 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. Advici;—Gratis.—Give the chil dren something to do, these pleas ant spring days, that will interest them in home and its surroundings. 11 you would teach them to love work and to depend upon that fir their happiness, give them a personal in- I'Test in something. One child may have a piece of ground and allowed to cultiva<e it, appropi i ning the pro reeils as he pleases.

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, aud try the Itrae promts*
