Essay on Woman. Women are like everything else in this world—a very mixed np affair. According to onr own observation, there are Women good and women bad, Women gay and women sad. Women big and women small. Women short and women tall, Women fat and women lean. Women sweet and women mean, Women young and women old. Women bought and women sold, Women poor and women rich. And a good many more women Rich. The first woman in this world was Eve. Eve was a bad girl. She didn’t belong to the good templars. Eve liked apple cider too well—she wanted hers dry. We never saw Eve, but they say she was a pretty girl. Her fellow was a chap by the name of Adam. Wo never went to school with him. Eve was like tho rest of her sisters—just tell her not to do ; a thing and she would be snre to do it. Eve must have been a country girl. She didn’t care much for fashion, aud she mado her own clothes without a sewing machine. She wonld be rather behind the times should she visit us now. Some women are very pretty. Wo don’t like pretly women—there are always so many fellows around them. They remind us of a lot of flies on a molasses stick. We like the molas ses, but—bother the flies. Good women are plenty in this coun try, but they will never tell you of it ;' you have gob to trail ’em - out yourself Bad women are everywhere. They are like rotten apples in a barrel of good ones—apt to throw their decayed influence around them. They will always try to make you believe they are good. Don’t take a bad woman. She is counterfeit treasure. Look out for trade mark. Gay women are jolty fellows; always on a laugh. They make you feel good clear to your sleeve buttons. A sad woman ought to wear spectacles with pink-colored glasses in them. That would make her look at the world in a different light. We don’t know that we like a big woman better than a little one. If she is so big that a step-ladder is required to kiss her, we most respectfully de cline in favor of the small one. As we reflect further on this subject, we come to the conclusion that the small ones are always preferable. They have a tendency to hang themselves—around a fellow—and we want to furnish the ma terial for a hanging-post. We hate a mean woman. We feel like saying “deliver us from evil,” whenever we see one. But give us a sweet woman—one of nature’s own children—with rosy cheeks and loving eyes ; with a noble heart, a high-toned mind, a pure soul and a healthy body, refined in taste, developed in intellect ; be she poor or rich, young or old, large or small—to such a one we could say, “ fly unto our arms, darling ; we love you.” Death of the Irish Giant James Murphy, Jr., known as the Irish giant, died at Baltimore last week of consumption. Mr, Murphy was bom in Waterford, Ireland, was thirty three years of age, and unmarried. He measured nearly eight feet in height. The Baltimore Sun says of him: “ Some months ago, when he was in comparatively good health, he weighed 351 pounds. He had weighed more when his health was better. He had been in this country twenty-four years, having been brought here by his father and mother, who still live at the house on Chester street. The giant traveled three years with Barnum, as one of the great living curiosities of the world. In his professional career, he visited every part of this country from Maine to California and the extreme south. After terminating his engagement with Barnum, the giant traveled with a cir, cue, where he contracted the bronchial disease which finally ended his life. When in good health he had a fresh, pleasant face, aud, like all large men, aud particularly all giants, except those of story books and nursery tales, was as amiable as he was great in stature. He had a very youthful expression of countenance, coal-blaok hair, and his hands were so large that one oi them could cover the head of a large man, just as an ordinary hand would cover an orange nia feet were not so largo proportionately as the hands, bnt be side an ordinary shoe, one of Iris shoes would seem to be a sufficient habitation for ‘the old woman’ of the story book, who ‘ had so many children she did not know what to do.’ Wheii the under taker came to measure the dead giant for his coffin, it was found that the de ceased was full eight feet long. Surely the measure of a man is correctly known when he is dead. The coffin will be nearly 8A feet long. The body was vis ited by hundreds of people yesterday, the giant being well known on Fell’s Point, where he was justly esteemed for his amiability, especially by the chil dren, who, after the first shrinkage, generally liked to be taken in his arms aud elevated as far above the heads of their parents as he could conveniently hold them. —A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives an exceedingly simple precaution in the use of kerosene or any Other cheap oil. His plan is to fill the lamp lightly with jeweler’s cot ton before pouring in the oil. The cot ton absorbs a great deal of the oil, and in case of accident the latter does not flow about, and can thus be extin guished. On one occasion his kerosene lamp burst, and a mass of flame jnmped out; bnt, being in a compact body, he covered it instantly with a bucket, and with the help of a water-pitcher ami {a few wet towels extinguished it bfjjgrfe the slightest damage was done. Haait not been for the cotton the flaming oil wonld have flowed in all directions. Etagebe Cabinet* Organs. —The eta gere, as the French call that elegant article of furniture, furnished with a number of small shelves, designed for various small ornamental articles, has become a necessity in every fashionable drawing-room. The Mason & Hamlin Orgm Cos. are now mannfaetnring a combination of r.tagere and cabinet organ, very rich and beautiful, which they furnish for the prig© of an organ tvilhbbt' the etagere , * Magna Loa.—The volcano of Manna Loa, in Hawaii, made a brilliant display on tire morning of the 10th of January before daylight. The action began in the summit crater of Moknaweoweo. “The heavens are aglow at night, and a grand pillar of cumulous clouds coronate the mountain by day,” writes an eye wit ness. The summit chimney or crater of Moknaweoweo had been closed for about eight weeks, during the latter part of which time the earthquake shocks had been increasing in strength and frequency. This new opening of the volcano will serve as a safety-valve, and as long as it lasts there will not probably be any more severe shocks nor any other eruptions on Hawaii. Medicai, Advertising.— The medical profession are out-spoken in tneir de nunciation of the system of medical advertising, and declare that any medi cine that is advertised is a fraud. How thoroughly inconsistent and unfair is such an argument. The men who are eo lond in their critioisms, are those who advertise themselves as medical savaus by ostentations display ; splendid resi dences with massive door plates; fast horses and costly carriages. Dr. J. Walker, of California, an old practition er, respeoted alike for his skill and conscientious independence, dares to differ; aud having discovered in his Vinegar Bitters a purely herbalistic medicine, free from all spirituous pois ons —a wonderful specific for numerous disorders, advertises the same for the relief of his fellow-man, and is borne out in his declaration of its many vir tues by thousands of invalids, who are being cured of disease by its use. Blood Diseases. The blood being the source from which our systems are built up &Dd from which we derive onr mental as well aa physical capabilities, how important that it should be kept pure. If it contains vile festering poisons all organic functions are weakened thereby. Settling upon important organs, as the lungs, liver or kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence it behooves every one to keep their blood ip a perfectly healthy condition and more especial ly does tliis apply at this particular season of the year than at any other. No matter what the exciting cause may be, the real cause of a large proportion of all diseases is bad blood. Now, Dr. Fierce does not wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nostrums by recommending it to cure every disease, nor does he so reoommend it, on the contrary there are hundreds of dis eases that he acknowledges it will not cure ; but what he does claim is this this, that there is but one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to be tho most searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free the blood aud system of all other known bloed poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Discovery is warranted by him to cm e the worst forms of skin diseases, as all forms of blotches, pimples and eruptions, also all glandular swellings, and the worst form of scrofulous and ulcerated sores of neck, legs* or other parts, and all scrofulous diseases of the bones, as white swellings, fever sores, hip joint and spinal diseases, all of which belongs to scrofulous diseases. CONFIRMED —HIP JOINT DISEASE CURED. W. Grove Station, la., July 14. 1872. Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. Dear Sir —My wife first beoame lame nine years ago. Swellings would appear aDd dis appear on her hip, and she was gradually be coming reduced, and her whole system rotten with disease. In 1871 a swelling broke on her hip discharging large quantities, and since that time there are several openings. Have had five doctors at an expense of $126, who say nothing will do any good but a surgical iperation. July 16, 1873, he writes thus • My wife has certainly received a great benefit from the use of your Discovery, for she was not able to get off the bed and was not expected to live a week when she commenced using it, a year ago. She has been doing moßt of her work for over six months. Has used twenty bottles and still using it. Her recovery is considered as almost a miracle, and we attribute it all to the use of your valuable medicine. I can cheerfully recommend it as a blood purifier and strength restorer. J. M. ROBINSON. Discovery is sold by druggists. The test of time and experience is the only snre guide in selecting an insru ment. It is of little consequence that a man makes one or two fine pianos or organs for a fair and intognes success fully for a prize. It is the quality .oj everyday manufacture that concerns the buyer—not what exceptional and oostly instruments have been specially made for exhibition. The Smith Amer ican Organs are of high and uniform excellence, and are the best for aotnal use, having been tried and proved for twenty-five years. * Burnett’s Floral Hand Book. See ado't.
