Detroit Currency. It might be well for every man to insure his own life. Then he'd know all about the assets. Please keep your eye on the fact that medical men pronounce cigarettes a great promoter of consumption. Prot. Proctor says there are sea serpents 130 feet long, and he never owned a sea-side hotel, either. Most of us ought to know how to build a poor railroad bridge by the time the Ashtabula investigation is finished. The report comes again that green tees are poisonous, but every American is ready to die with a teacup in his hand. Josh Billings is going to purchase a ranche in Texas and remove to that State. He regards himself as spelled out in the East. Eastern piano makers have about twenty different libel suits on hand against each other, and the tune isn't ended yet. Peach trees will do well to wait a bit. The budding out in advance of time will compete poor men to invest in white pants before April. The Red Sea is rapidly changing color, and some day folks will go out to see a Red Sea and see a sea unlike the sea they expected to see. If Charles O'Connor felt like apologizing to any one, why didn't he beg the pardon of the seven doctors who insisted that he must die? Pound parties for the benefit of the poor are now in order. Fifteen of the ounces go to the party and the other ounce to the poor. A boy at St. Albans, Vermont, shot at a cat and hit a girl in the window. If she had been doing housework she would have escaped injury. An Oregon paper says that Bijah, of the Detroit Central Station Court, is a myth. Omnibus drivers don't think so. Neither do shoemakers. The Security Life Insurance Company had an appropriate name. Four of the officers secured the funds, and the law secured the four officers. The New York Herald says that the Free Press is getting blind. Guess not. Look over this issue and see how many pairs of capital I's you can find. The lady who wears one-button gloves is only half as good as the lady who wears twoButtons, and thus is life graded for the foot-steps of good society. Nero and His Golden Home. Nero's life as an emperor was one long series of stage effects, of which the leading feature was a feverish extravagance. His return from the art-tour in Greece outdid all the triumphal processions of the past. Thousands of carriages were needed for his baggage, his sumptuous mules were shot with silver, and all the towns he passed upon his way received him through a breach made in their walls, for such he heard was the "sign of honor" with which the citizens were wont to welcome the Olympian victors of the olden days. The public works which he designed were more to feed his pride than to serve the public. He wanted, like another Xerxes, to cut a canal through the Corinthian Isthmus; thought of making vast lakes to be supplied from the hot springs of Borneo, and schemed great works by which the sea might be brought almost to the walls of Rome. But it was only by his buildings that he left enduring traces, and to this the great disaster of his time gave an unlooked-for impulse. Some little shops in the low grounds near the circus took fire by chance. The flames spread fast through the narrow streets and crowded alleys of the quarter, and soon began to climb up the higher ground to the statelier houses of the wealthy. Almost a week the fire was burning, and of the fourteen wards of the city only four escaped unharmed. Nero was at Antium when the startling news arrived, and he reached Rome too late to save his palace. He threw his gardens open to the homeless poor, lowered at once the price of corn, and had hoofs raised in haste to shelter them. He did not lack sympathy for the masses of the city, whose tastes he shared and catered for. And yet the story spread that the horrors of the blazing city caught his excited fancy, that he saw in it a scene worthy of an emperor to act in, and sung the story of the fall of Troy among the crashing ruins and fury of the flames. Even wilder fancies spread among the people; men whispered that his servants had been seen with lighted torches in their hands as they were hurrying to and fro to spread the fire. Nero had been heard to wish that the old Rome of crooked streets and crowded lanes might now be swept clean away, that he might rebuild it on a scale of royal grandeur. Certainly he claimed for himself the lion's share of the space that the flames had cleared. The palace to which the Palatine Hill had given a name now took a wider range and spread to the Praetorium including in its west wing Richard A. Proctor. Richard A. Proctor: "That been regarded by my gigantic fright which appeared something altogether pentline outline under the seuding perplexes, or tire at all, then on under unusual arrows or else the arrow could not were connections." "Yet, as the since pointed out on The Great Uprising unlikely that me animals which exerted an antecedent theory of the existance as the great sea scribed to be in weighing the evidence respecting such oceans has read the accusers and men of stance, can for a man were deceived in geniously imagine that they all too can reject the known sea creature That creature may have been called; the picture midshipmen may details (as Proctor must have been) affair was a fraught which had all these serpent." "And the ideasters is not nearly seem to imagine times said to tell it is a noteworthy out of ten, that travelers have ridiculed the tale who had sailed into the sun moves from left to right place; but we knew truth. The fire was laughed to so thoroughly proved that possibly exist. been jeered out fortunate arrival an early stage of that transaction." AN Oregon paper says that Bjorn of the Detroit Central Station Court, is a myth. Omnibus drivers don't think so. Neither do shoemakers. The Security Life Insurance Company had an appropriate name. Four of the officers secured the funds, and the law secured the four officers. The New York Herald says that the Free Press is getting blind. Guess not. Look over this issue and see how many pairs of capital I's you can find. The lady who wears one-button gloves is only half as good as the lady who wears twoButtons, and thus is life graded for the foot-steps of good society. It is high time that some one again asserted that green wall-paper was poisonous. Don't let up on it till the matter is settled one way or the other. Diaz pays four per cent. a month for money. He should be inaugurated with three balls.—Cincinnati Commercial. He is more likely to be killed with one. The American Express Company is settling up for the loss by the Ashtabula disaster. That is, it is denying the worth of lost parcels, and that's settling, isn't it? LONG JOHN WENTWORTH walking up and down Wabash avenue singing "If Ever I Cease to Love," is taken by the Chicago press as an indication of the revival of trade. It was an old but a good thing said by a French paragrapher lately, to the effect that he hates a girl when she is trying to be a woman and a woman when she is trying to be a girl. JOAQUIN MILLER's new drama covers a period of 2,100 years, but he was consistent enough not to carry all his characters clear through. Only the hero comes out 2,100 years old. A lecturer on optics, in explaining the mechanism of the organ of vision, remarked: "Let any man gaze closely into his wife's eye, and he will see himself looking exceedingly small." THE NEW YORK TELEGRAM announces that "the wages of servant girls are to be cut down at that point where the mistress of the house will be able to overtake them on the question of bonnet." THERE IS ONE GOOD THING ABOUT AMERICAN illustrated newspapers. In each number is a long and lucid explanation of the pictures, so that one can generally tell which is meant for a house and which for a man. Burlington Hawk-Eyetems. LESTER WALLACK is playing "All for Her." That may do in New York, but the law allows her only one-third out here. THE NEW YORK SUN has put on a new dress. And, as usual, "the great pressure" of reading matter "crowds out" the advertisements. MISS MARY GUILD, of Boston, is followed and annoyed by "a noisy ghost," whose racket and rapping is only audible in the room where Mary is present. She had better marry the spectre; he'll be quiet enough after that. The news from Europe is so depressing and uncertain that a man on North Hill has felt compelled to reduce his pew rent and sell one of his dogs, in the story of the fall of Troy among the crashing ruins and the fury of the flames. Even wilder fancies spread among the people; men whispered that his servants had been seen with lighted touches in their hands as they were hurrying to and fro to spread the fire. Nero had been heard to wish that the old Rome of crooked streets and crowded lanes might now be swept clean away, that he might rebuild it on a scale of royal grandeur. Certainly he claimed for himself the lion's share of the space that the flames had cleared. The palace to which the Palatine Hill had given a name now took a wider range and spread to the Esquiline, including in its vast circuit long lines of porticoes, lakes, woods and parks, while the buildings were so lavishly adorned with every art as to deserve the name of the "Golden House" which the people's fancy gave them. In its vestiture stood the colossal figure of the emperor, one hundred and twenty feet in height, which afterward gave its name to the Colosseum. From it stretched porticos a mile in length, supported on triple ranges of marble pillars, leading to the lake round which was built a mimic town opening out into parks stocked with wild animals of every sort. The halls were lined with gold and precious stones, the banquet-rooms were fitted with revolving rooftops of ivory, perforated to scatter flowers and perfumes on the guests, while shifting tables seemed to vanish for themselves and reappear charged with choice viands. There were baths, too, to suit all tastes; some supplied from the waters of the sea and some fitted with sulphurous streams that had their sources miles away. Thousands of the choicest works of art of Greece and Asia had been destroyed, but their place was taken by the paintings and statues brought from every quarter of the Empire. Nero sent special agents to ransack the cities for art treasures, and many a town among the isles of Greece mourned in after days the visit that had despoiled it of some priceless treasure. When all was done and the emperor surveyed the work, even he was satisfied, and he cried, "Now at least I feel that I am lodged as a man should be." It was in halls like these that the privileged few gathered round their lord when he returned from the grave business of the circus and stage, to indulge in the pleasures of the table. Empress Eugenie's American Ancestors. Olive Logan tells this tale in a letter to the New York Graphie: I did not set out to write a chapter fitted to that interesting volume, "Who's Who in 1877?"—which, by the way, is just out and fails as usual in solving its own question of who who is—but to say that never till now have we had the least suspicion that the Empress was in any way connected with American families. But the recent actions for damages for defamation of character which the Empress's mother, the Countess de Montijo, has instituted against more than a hundred journals in France have revealed the fact that Eugenie is the granddaughter of an American. Yes, the Empress Eugenie's grandfather was the United States Concil at Malaga under Andrew Jackson's Presidency, and was also enclosed in the highest honour there. As for stories have been incredulous than Andrew Wilson speaking of them much such terms says: "We may there are many dances on record having been judged according mon sense rules; tain hittefish undisims do certaint As to the support can give to the ogists can but a correctness of their organisms, and rine (e.g. certain) be of exceeding knowledge of me edly very small no counter object which they way of denying He would be forence of purely n which possess c for swimming,a zation admitted aquatic existence. "If, therefore,"—may even then that gigantic snakes may occur we should state it assumed and natural 'sea-serp' not well see how abilities can be real as they are in ther currency by zoom The New York Sun has put on a new dress. And, as usual, "the great pressure" of reading matter "crowds out" the advertisements. Miss Mary Guild, of Boston, is followed and annoyed by "a noisy ghost," whose racket and rapping is only audible in the room where Mary is present. She had better marry the spectre; he'll be quiet enough after that. The news from Europe is so depressing and uncertain that a man on North Hill has felt compelled to reduce his pew rent and sell one of his dogs, in order to pave the way to a safe and steady resumption of a new suit of clothes in the spring. A NEW ENGLAND man has invented a process for disinfecting onions, but the regenerated fruit does not meet with any favor. An onion without its flavor is as much like an onion as an oyster without its slipperyness would be like a raw oyster. As Vanderbilt left his physician $10,-000 and his chaplain $20,000, we are to infer that his soul was cared for twice as well as his body. If we were the doctor we'd get mad and wouldn't have his old money. The coining of double eagles with the new dies has begun at the United States mints. The coin is much handsomer than that cast in the old, dies, but its weight makes it very inconvenient and cumbersome. After carrying home a basketful Saturday night, our arms ached so that we were more than ever in favor of a paper currency. SENATOR-ELECT Hill's first welcome in the Senate chamber was from the man who delights to smash him, Senator Blaine. Their greeting was as cordial as that of two prize fighters, who always shake hands before they pound each other's visages. During the cold weather we may expect to hear of much Hill-Blaine suffering in the United States Senate. DARTMOUTH COLLEGE has suffered a terrible blow in the loss of its boat-house, which, with its boats, shells and sculls was destroyed by a heavy gale last Saturday night. The college will probably be closed until this indispensable adjunct of a collegiate educational course can be replaced. The intellectual interests of the country would be at a standstill if all the college boat-houses were demolished. NICE BOX.—"Pa, what does it mean to be tried by a jury of one's peer?" "It means, my son, that a man is to be tried by a jury composed of men who are his equals, on an equality with him, so they will have no prejudices against him." "Then, pa, I s'pose you'd have to be tried by a jury of bald-headed men." REV. ADIRONDABLE over the deep his fighting dog terriers cannot afford the loss of his favorite refused all sustenance nothing biter and porterhorse and sweet bread little roast beef few vegetables and boiled fish and milk and a little of coffee or so an hot biscuit and a lily and other little and his friends least, if he should trite food, he Hauckeye. THE sleeping-cot from 24 to 34 tons of the car is made in order to supply Senator Wagner excessive dead water lighter matter and by introducing keeping the upper new cars which he will not weigh more Richard A. Proctor writes in the London Echo: "The sea-serpent has long been regarded by most persons as simply a gigantic fraud. Either the object which appeared like a sea-serpent was something altogether different—a floating tree entangled in sea-wool, the serpentine outline of distant hills half lost under the selding haze, a row of leaping perplexes, or, if a single living creature at all, then one of a known species seen under unusual and deceptive conditions—or else the circumstantial accounts which could not be thus explained away were conceptions of falsehood. "Yet, as the naturalist Goose long since pointed out, in his curious essay on 'The Great Unknown,' it is altogether unlikely that men know all the forms of animals which exist in the ocean, and the antecedent probability against the theory of the existence of creatures such as the great sea-serpent has been described to be is not sufficient to outweigh the evidence which has been given respecting such creatures. No one who has read the account given by the officers and men of the Dedalus, for instance, can for a moment suppose that they were deceived in any of the ways ingeniously imagined; we must assume that they all told untruths before we can reject the belief that some as yet unknown sea creature was seen by them. That creature may quite possibly not have been a serpent properly so called; the picture drawn by one of the midshipmen may have been incorrect in details (as Professor Owen insisted it must have been); but, unless the whole affair was a fraud, a sea animal was seen which had all the appearance of a gigantic serpent. "And the idea of fraud in such matters is not nearly so reasonable as many seem to imagine. Travelers are sometimes said to tell marvelous stories, but it is noteworthy fact that, in nine cases out of ten, the marvelous stories of travelers have been confirmed. Men ridiculed the tale, brought back by those who had sailed far to the South, that the sun moves from right to left, instead of from left to right, as you face his mid-day place; but we know that those travelers tell the truth. The first account of the giraffe was laughed to scorn, and it was satisfactorily proved that no such creature could possibly exist. The gorilla would have been jeered out of existence but for the fortunate arrival of a skeleton of his at an early stage of our acquaintance with that creature." Renovation, not Prostruction Did any enclosed human being ever become strong under the operation of powerful eathartics or salivants? It is sometimes necessary to regulate the bowels, but that cannot be done by active purgation, which exhales the vital forces and serves no good purpose whatever. The only fine way to promote health and vigor, which are essential to regularity of the organic functions, is to invigorate discipline and purify the system at the same time. The extraordinary efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Blitters in cases of debility or irregularity of the organs of digestion, malmilation, secretion and discharge, is universally admitted. Appetite, good digestion, a regular habit of body, active circulation of the blood, and parity of all the animal fauna are induced by this superb tonic and corrective. It has no equals, moreover, as a preventive of chills and fever, and other types of malarial disease. To emigrants and travelers it is particularly serviceable as a medical safeguard. More About the New Piano. We have explained the principles of construction which make the durability of the Patent "Rogers Pianos" a certainty, and which ensure, for the future, instruments which are free from that most serious objection—the inability to remain in tune. To secure these great advantages, most persons would be content to sacrifice something in the appearance or even in the tone of their Pianos. But, fortunately, it happens that the new improvement not only does not lessen the power or sweetness of the tone, but gives us a far superior quality to any heretofore produced, and a quality that can not degenerate in a few years into the well-known "tin-pan" sound. The Rogers Upright is simply a harp standing in a Piano case, but independent of it, and cannot lose its tone with age, any more than a harp does. The whole instrument is completed and tuned before it is fastened into the case; thus reversing the usual order of procedure, since in all other Pianos, after several years' seasoning of the wood, the case (or outside cabinet-work) is built, and then the "action," the tuning pins and pin-block are fastened into this case, depending upon its strength for their reliability and durability. Again, all the wood-work surrounding the harp increases its sonority, and as is the fact with the violin, the vibrations become freer the more the instrument is played upon. In other Pianos, on the contrary, the freedom of vibration of the wood is checked by the iron tuning pins holding the strings, which strain upon the fibre with a pressure of several tons, by the numerous iron bolts and screws which are required to keep the wood from being torn asunder, and by the iron frame acting as a clamp upon it. We suppose it is from the freedom of vibration that the wonderful "singing" quality of tone is produced in the Rogers Piano. It will produce a tone resembling that of an organ, or the shortest staccato, at the will of the performer, and its volume can be increased from the softest pianissimo to the grandest and fullest fortissimo without any help from pedals. If you wish a more explicit understanding of the peculiarities of the new invention, you have but to drop a postal card to Measures. Blackmar & Davis at San Francisco who are...

"Monstrous cuttlefish were thought to be monstrous lies, till the Alecton, in 1861, came upon one and captured its tail, whose weight of forty pounds led naturalists to estimate the entire weight of the creature at 4,000 pounds, or nearly a couple of tons. In 1873, again, two fishermen encountered a gigantic cuttle in Conception Bay, Newfoundland, whose arms were about thirty-five feet in length (the fisherman cut off from one arm a piece twenty-five feet long), while its body was estimated at sixty feet in length and five feet in diameter—so that the devil-fish of Victor Hugo’s famous story was a mere baby cuttle in comparison with the Newfoundland monster.

Certain organisms, and especially those of marine (e.g. certain whales), are known to be of exceedingly rare occurrence. Our knowledge of marine reptilia is confessedly very small; and best of all, there is no counter objection of feasible argument which the naturalist can offer by way of denying the above proposition. He would be forced to admit the existence of purely marine genera of snakes which possess compressed tails, adapted for swimming, and other points of organization admittedly suited for a purely aquatic existence.’ “If, therefore, we admit the possibility—day, even the reasoning probability—that gigantic members of these water snakes may occasionally be developed, we should state a powerful case for the assumed and probable existence of a natural ‘sea-serpent.’ We confess we do not well see how such a chain of probabilities can be readily set aside, supported as they are in the possibility of their occurrence by zoological science, and in the actual details of the case by evidence times said to tell marvelous stories, but it is a noteworthy fact that, in nine cases out of ten, the marvelous stories of travelers have been confirmed.

DEVELOPMORTOFANIMALANTROOM但OneBlock从Depot和Steamboat If, therefore, we admit the possibility—may, even the reasoning probability—that gigantic members of these water snakes may occasionally be developed, we should state a powerful case for the assumed and probable existence of a natural 'sea-serpent.' We confess we do not well see how such a chain of probabilities can be readily set aside, supported as they are in the possibility of their occurrence by zoological science, and in the actual details of the case by evidence as trustworthy in many cases as that received in our courts of law. When we remember how few fish or other inhabitants of the sea are ever seen compared with the countless millions which exist, that not one specimen of some tribes will be seen for many years in succession, and that some tribes are only known to exist because a single specimen, or even a single skeleton has been obtained, we may well believe that in the sea, as in Heaven and earth, there are more things 'than known in our philosophy.'" Rev. Adirondack Murray is inconsolable over the death of his race horse, and his fighting dogs, game cocks, and rat terriers cannot assuage his grief. Since the loss of his favorite he has absolutely refused all sustenance, and has actually eaten nothing but some bread and butter and porterhouse steak and some eggs and sweet breads and hot cakes and a little roast beef and some onions and a few vegetables and baked potatoes and boiled fish and a few oysters and some milk and a little bit of cheese and a cup of coffee or so and some mince pie and hot biscuit and apples and a trifle of jelly and other little delicacies every day, and his friends are seriously alarmed, lest, if he should continue to refuse nutritious food, he may die.—Burlington Hawke. The sleeping-cars now in use weigh from 24 to 34 tons. The upper portion of the car is made very heavy and strong in order to support the upper berths. Senator Wagner hopes to diminish the excessive dead weight of a coach by using lighter materials in construction and by introducing simple appliances for keeping the upper berths in place. The new cars which he had recently ordered will not weigh more than 19 tons. A most effective remedy for the Phylloxera is a weak solution of carbolic acid, one gallon of the strength of Calvert's Sheepwash, with about 450 gallons of water sprinkled over the stem and roots of the vine. The same wash is useful for preserving Wet Hides, even after it has served for Sheep Dippings. For the latter purpose its advantages over tobacco and other remedies are now beyond question. A sheep farmer in Ireland, Captain Laprimandays, of Newport, Mayo, writes on the 26th of December last: "I find my savings in a flock of 2,000 to be about £30 ($150) a year, merely for dressing (not to speak of dippings), as against tobacco juice and spirits of tar." Those who have used it most in California speak equally highly of its merits, finding it not only the cheapest, but decidedly the most efficacious remedy they have tried. As a disinfectant for stables, etc., it is as useful as the expensive preparations of carbolic acid.

Whether for use on man or beast, Merchant's Gargling Oil will be found an invaluable Liniment, and worthy of use by every resident in the land. We know of no proprietary medicine or article now used in the United States which shares the goodwill of the people to a greater degree than this. Yellow wrapper for animal and walk for human flesh."—N. Y. Independent. Extract from a letter from G. H. Mimmonds, Unionville, Ia., July 24, 1873.—"I am selling many Gargling Oil than all the liniments put together, and I am keeping twelve different kinds. I think it is the best remedy for horsemen in existence, and can say is without fear of miscellaneous contradiction. Extract from a letter from Shoemaker & Co., Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 17th, 1873.—"It is the popular horse liniment in this country." Extract from a letter from Geo. A. Snell, Braman's Corners, N. Y., Aug. 9th, 1873.—"I still more of your Gargling Oil than of all other liniments combined, and have seen it used on horses and cattle with good effect when others have failed." Extract from a letter from Pattee & Co., Derry, N. H., Aug. 26th, 1873.—"We think your Gargling Oil one of the best articles for what it is recommended that we have ever used or sold." Extract from a letter from Snowden & Olbbs, Concordia, Kan., July 20th, 1873.—"We still more of your Gargling Oil than of any liniment we keep." Merchant's Gargling Oil as a Family Liniment. We are now, and have been for some years, preparing the Oil free from stain, to be used as a common liniment for human flesh, extracting the coloring ingredient which has heretofore not derived it objectionable. This Oil possesses all the medicinal properties of that prepared with the dark tinge for horses and cattle, and will be found one of the best remedies for all purposes where a liniment is required that has ever been manufactured. From J. K. Fisher, Untown, Pa., Jan. 21, 1871.—"Your Gargling Oil is doing much better here than formerly, since its virtues have become known; and the bottles put up for family use without stain, are much sought for." The Gargling Oil called "Family Oil," although prepared intentionally for human flesh answers as well for benzene; viz syrups, the dark Oil answers as well for human flesh, only in white strain and discolor the skin, but not permanently. Yellow wrapper for animal and white for human flesh. Merchant's Gargling Oil as an Internal Remedy. Merchant's Gargling Oil is a diffusible stimulant and cornicative. It can be taken internally when such a remedy is indicated, and is a good substitute for pain killers, curdials and molluscs. For Cramps or Spasms of the Stomach, Colic, Asthma, or Internal Pains, the dose may be given fifteen to twenty drops, on sugar, or mixed with syrup in any convenient form, and repeated at intervals of three to six hours. Yellow wrapper for animal and white for human flesh. MERCHANT'S GARGLING OIL Is the Standard Liniment of the United States Established 1852. Large size; $1; medium size; small size; small size for family use; Made Manufactured at Leedsport, K. Y.; by H.G.O. Co., and sold by all traders. JOHN MORRIS, Secretary.
