TIMELY TOPICS. Natchez, Miss., is threatened with the fate of Vicksburg, namely, deser¬ tion by the river. The recent rise of the Mississippi river has thrown the towhead near the Louisiana shore, and there is now a current running on the Louisiana side which threatens to cut away the bar there, and throw it upon the Mississippi side directly in front of Natchez. The inhabitants of Finland (Russia) bury the dead only on Sundays. To preserve the bodies for the day of funer¬ al they are put in the cellars where milk, butter, cheese, eggs aud other articles are kept. The doctors have taken ground against this custom, and have given alarm by declaring it to be one of the surest ways of propagating such contagious diseases as cholera and typhoid fever. Francois Grilhon, a rich French’farm¬ er, quarreled with his son-in-law, and set his mill on fire. He then went home and burned his own house, and as the flames devoured it kept the neighbors at bay with a double-barreled shotgun. He then proceeded to throw a large sum of money in gold and notes into the blazing ruins, and finally blew his brains out in the presence of tho horri¬ fied crowd. The Russian newspapers complain that the fluctuation in the grain trade of Russia and the rapid change in prices, are caused by competition from the United States. As soon as Ameri¬ can supplies are brought to market, sale of tbe Russian grain decreases, and hence many Russian farmers are im poverished and cannot pay taxes. As the prosperity of Russia depends large¬ ly upon the grain trade, it is important that full information concerning the crop of Amerioan cereals should be ob¬ tained; and it is suggested in 8t. Petersburg journals that Russian con¬ suls in the United States bo required to ascertain the state and prospects of the American crops, and to assist in promoting the grain trade of Russia. oft-repeated * story that the Quakers area decaying body does not seem to be true, for an English journal asserts positively that not only has the falling off in the number checked of members of the society been for many years, but a comparatively rapid growth has also occurred during the last few years. This is marked by the inorease of some of the older “ meetings ” of the body both in England denomination and America, into and by the countries, spread of the small scale. other if even on a Notwithstanding emigration, there is an addition to the small number of Quakers in Norway and Denmark, and a “ monthly meeting ” has been estab lished in Syria. Some time ago a Friends’ mission was begnn at Mount Lebanon, and there aro a Bcore of mem¬ bers there. The trial of a Chinaman for assault and battery in the police court of San Franoisco has brought out a strange story of a Chinese girl’s unhappy ex¬ periences. She said that her parents in China had sold her to “ a gray-haired lady ’* for twenty dollars when she was ten years of age. She was resold to a Chinese dootor in San Francisco named Lia Po Tai. This dootor has several wives, one of whom sold her to a China¬ man for $40. Her market price gradu¬ ally increased to $160, and by the time she was twenty years old she had ohanged hands a dozen times. Recently she heard that she was to be sold to a Chinaman living in the interior of the State, and it was in consequence of her refusal to go that the assault was com mitted and the distnrbance created that brought the case before the public.

How Many States Hang Murderers l Four States of this Union have un¬ conditionally abolished capital punish¬ ment, viz.: Michigan (in 1846),* Rhode Island (in 1851), Wisconsin (in 1853) and Maine (in 1876). The following States have the “option” jury law: In¬ diana, 1862; New York, 1862; Illinois, 1867; Minnesota, 1868; Iowa, 1878, and Louisiana many years ago. In these States there is no capital punishment unless the jury unanimously recommend that penalty; hence there are but few executions in these States. Of the above States Iowa totally abolished that penalty in 1872, but modified that law in 1878 as mentioned. The following States have the “ governor’s option ” law, viz,: New Hampshire, Vermont and Kansas. In these States the crimi¬ nal is sent to the State prison for one year (Vermont two years) prior to exe¬ cution, when he may be executed on the warrant of the governor, it being op¬ tional with the governor whether he shall, or shall not, issue the warrant. “ Pa,” said Pet, “ may I det up and twot on your knee ?” “ Certainly,” gallop.” was the ready reply, “ let the little A Vlsnsre Rivaling In Yellowness That of a “heathen Chinee,” if belonging described to one of onr race, can scarcely be as attractive.

There ia no modern fashionable notion quite “tbsurd as the g« n e r&11 y- rec ^ iv «d idea that to be beautiful and attractive a woman must possess a wan, ipiritvelle face and a figure of fashionable belies, It is considered a special compliment to be spoken of as fraii ana deli c.L. The, forget tli*t the natarmlly delicate faoe and petde. figure are very different from the pale and disease-stricken faces that meet us in the city thoroughfares, look ont from the luxuriant carriages of wealth, and glide languidly through our crowded drawing-rooms. If disease wore unfashionable, as it ought to be, not a lady in the land but would take every possible precaution to secure the fresh, bloom iug face and well-rounded figure that only health can give. Ladies should remember that much as gentlemen may profess to admire the face and form paled and emaciated by dis¬ ease, when they choose a wife they prefer a blooming, healthful, buoyant-spirited woman. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the ac¬ knowledged standard remedy for female dis¬ eases aud weaknesses. It has the two-fold advantage of curing tbe local disease and im¬ parting a vigorous tone to the whole system.

He says the Mason and Hamlin Cabinet Organs are much the best of this class of instruments made, and that musicians generally agree in this. CHEW The Celebrated “Matchless” Wood Tag Plug Tobacco.

Mrs. Walter Hinckley, of Cotuit, Mass., called, in company with her hus¬ band, on Dr. David Kennedy, of Ron dont, N. Y., the proprietor of the medi¬ cine lately introduced into this place, happily named FAVORITE REMEDY, and made the following interesting state¬ ment: “ For many years I had been a great' sufferer from what was called a fibrous tumor; had secured the assist¬ ance of the best accessible medical men and used many of the patent medicines recommended, but without obtaining any relief. On the contrary, I grew worse, until I bad given up all hopes of recovery. Our neighbor, Mr. John M. Handy, came from Rondout and brought me a bottle of your FAVORITE REM¬ EDY. Before I had used half of it I experienced a marked improvement, and all my neighbors noticed the great change. I have taken some fcmr or five bottles, and am entirely free from pain; gained flesh, appetite good, sleep well— in short, feel like a now being. I have recommended ED Y to of the Fj?.V Acquaintances, OKITE BEM many my and all, without an exception, are loud in its praise. To say that I feel thankful is expressing my gratitude in the mildest form. You are at liberty, doctor, to re fer to my case; and i hope all will believe me when I say that the FAVOR¬ ITE REMEDY has proved a real bless¬ ing to me, and that no woman suffering from any of the complaints peculiar to our sex can afford to be without it. But, doctor, you must take more pains to tell the people how to avoid the mistakes they have made. To this end, request them to remember that your name is Dr. David Kennedy and the medicine is called (what it is, in fact) FAVORITE REMEDY, price only one dollar , and that you are a practicing physician and surgeo n of RONDOUT, N.
