Burlington Hawk-Eyetems. The organ grinder's life is filled with the most turn realities. Wisconsin has had so much small-pox it doesn't know who is elected. 18,962 dogs keep the taxes up and the price of sausages down in Vermont. The sleepiest town in America is in Iowa, out on the B. & M. railway—Nodaway. Florida may be the pivot, but Oregon is the rivet. (Poetry no extra charge; same price as anything else in the column.) They wouldn't have half as much trouble nor nearly as hard a time counting in a new man in England, if Queen Victoria should die. The first gold discovered in California, it is said, was found at the root of a wild onion. Yes, and it is generally understood that onion is good for a bad gold. Judge Davis owns fourteen improved farms in different parts of Illinois, and there is never a day in the whole year round that he doesn't grumble at the weather. Worried mothers may be interested in learning that the shingle cure is the best remedy for a boy whose tooth begins to ache about fifteen minutes before school time. It is now believed that somebody laid a piece of blue glass over the ground hog's hole, and thus spoiled his prophecy and let the bottom out of his weather prognostications. It won't be so very long after the presidential contest is settled before the country will again forget everything else while watching the college contests in advanced scullership. The telephone is being utilized in Burlington hotels, and on sleeping cars on trains running out of this city, to spot the man who snores. Go west by the great Burlington route. Mother is the necessity of invention. A young Milwaukee clergyman, who received thirty-two dozen parsons of misfit slippers from the young lady members of his flock last Christmas, has sold every last slipper to the Hudson Bay company for fish traps. Leap year is well over; and the bashful young man out on West Hill, who hid from the girls in abject terror. A Fiddling Dragoon. In 1800, under the reign of Joseph Napoleon's brother, in Spain, a young sub lieutenant of cavalry, in the service of this prince, was made prisoner by the Spaniards at Havadeo. He was carried to Oviedo, the capital of the Asturias, with his brother, a lieutenant in the same corps, and several companions in arms, under the escort of a horde of soldiers and peasants, the latter, for the most part, armed with forks, pikes and spears. Compelled to march forty-two leagues in seven days to reach the city, in all the places they traversed the prisoners were subject to outrage and insult from a vindictive populace, exasperated against the French. As soon as they arrived at Oviedo they were thrown into the fortress, which was at that time entrusted to the care of a governor notorious for his bad disposition and severity to prisoners. After some hours of captivity our young officer, who had studied music in his childhood, and learned to play on the violin at the age of seven, under the direction of a celebrated Italian professor, suffering more from his inability for want of an instrument to cultivate the art he loved so passionately than from the deprivation of his liberty, ventured, under the pretext of having a secret to communicate, to inform the governor that he solicited an audience. It was only after a thousand difficulties that the prisoner obtained permission to use his favorite instrument; a banker of the city, who had formerly been an intimate friend of his father, then French consul in one of the principal cities in Spain, hastened to send him an excellent violin. The jailer, who had never in his life heard tones of such suavity and harmony from any instrument, could not conceal his admiration and surprise, and boasted of the talent which had so speedily inspired him with ecstacy; and the governor, who was informed of him, soon sent for his young prisoner, suggesting that he should bring his violin with him. But the governor had so long enjoyed a reputation for ferocity and barbarity in the fortress, that our violinist, unable to hope that he would treat him with humanity, obeyed the order, attributing it rather to curiosity than any other motive. It was, therefore, with agreeable surprise that he received the most cordial welcome, and an invitation to produce Henry Wadsworth born on the 27th of May the age assigned to him is neither the exact name of creative power, it whence looking back at a life, and the same achievement; may be totally estimated. It is century since Mr. Lovis his first fugitive lyrical no American author; has been marked by such recognition. His fame growth; but, as he has to unlearn, it was soon later popularity (uneq any modern English ception of Tennyson) accidental taste nor secure it; but it rests upon the natural respite men and women to throw the purified aspiration consoling sentiment; or qualities have carried beyond the limits of his English tongue. In language of Europe he vive of American Son.

Go west by the great Burlington route. Mother is the necessity of invention. A young Milwaukee clergyman, who received thirty-two dozen pares of misfit slippers from the young lady members of his flock last Christmas, has sold every last slipper to the Hudson Bay company for fish traps. Leap year is well over; and the bashful young man out on West Hill, who hid from the girls in abject terror all the year through, crept out last week, and in a moment of regretful depression that nobody had found him, married his washerwoman. Last Sabbath morning an eloquent Burlington minister was earnestly discoursing about Peter and Paul and said they were a "good pair." "Good hand," sleepily murmured a half awakened sport in the back pew, "take the pot: nothing here but ace high." Old Mr. Balbriggan, who lives out on South Hill, is very deaf, so that when his wife wants to lay down a chapter of domestic law to him, she has to take hold of his ear and roar it into his head point blank. And Mr. Balbriggan says it's a marvel he doesn't die of catarrh; he always has scold in the head. Detroit Currency. Anything for harmony, you know. Every lawyer in New York thinks the Vanderbilt will should be contested. Vermont has already made enough maple sugar to sweeten summer's breath. Stoga boots tipped with blue glass might have a healthy effect on the aliment of tramps. It seems like old times again to get a grocer's bill dated in March. We are drifting towards spring. If you want to pay fifty cents apiece for new potatoes all the returning boards on earth can't prevent. The Chicago baby-show was not an utter failure. It succeeded in making seven hundred mothers mad at all mankind. California panthers now crawl into hollow logs to escape the pursuit of California girls. Where can California men go? Every day brings its list of defaulters, forgers and embezzlers, and one can hardly trust his own father with money to buy coal. The Boston Transcript doesn't know what to do with its hat in church. That man's hat never bothers him when he goes fishing on Sunday. Wm. H. Vanderbilt does not believe that the lawyer walks this earth who can break his father's will. There's lots of 'em willing to try, though. They are going to economize at Saratoga this year. Fourteen trunks full of store clothes will pass even a homely woman through the season. Watches are so scarce in Shetland that a lover calls his girl his "dear old time-piece." He discovers where the "lick" comes in after marriage. It has been discovered that Pleasanton from any instrument could not conceal his admiration and surprise, and boasted of the talent which had so speedily inspired him with ecstacy; and the governor, who was informed of him, soon sent for his young prisoner, suggesting that he should bring his violin with him. But the governor had so long enjoyed a reputation for ferocity and barbarity in the fortress, that our violinist, unable to hope that he would treat him with humanity, obeyed the order, attributing it rather to curiosity than any other motive. It was, therefore, with agreeable surprise that he received the most cordial welcome, and an invitation to produce the melodious tones so much vaunted by the jailer. He began by playing an adagio from the works of Haydn, a composer then unknown in Spain, and afterward an andante from the quatuor of Pieyel, which he had arranged in chords in order to present the simple and graceful harmony. The execution of these pieces was sufficient to display all the fire and sensibility of his soul. The governor, who was sufficiently acquainted with music, in spite of himself betrayed his astonishment at each phrase, and, at the andante, unable longer to conceal the pleasure he experienced, he extended his hand to his prisoner, and confessed with visible emotion that it was the first time in his life that he had been so moved. Afterward he conducted him to his dining-room, and invited him to breakfast. He made him promise first to say nothing about what had happened to his unfortunate companions, assured him that he should want for nothing, that he would soften his position and that of his brother as much as possible, and said he had but one regret, and that was that he could not grant him what he must most desire — liberty. From this time he was withdrawn from the common room, where not only prisoners of war but criminals were confined, and a private chamber was assigned him, in which he could devote himself entirely to the study of music. Our young officer even succeeded in improving the condition of his unfortunate comrades, for the hardened heart of the governor had softened by degrees, thanks to the tender and passionate performance of the young violinist. He remained five months in this fortress, which was defended by four pieces of artillery, planted constantly before the prison to demolish it on the slightest attempt at insurrection on the part of the prisoners, or even at the approach of the French. Still, without thinking of the danger that threatened them, they resolved by common consent to attempt to recover their liberty, even at the peril of their lives. Our virtuoso placed himself at their head, forced the guard, and succeeded, not without difficulty, in joining the French army, which was encamped four leagues from Oviedo. He passed through the entire population, who were astonished at such boldness on the part of prisoners.

No man can crawl under the stairs to turn the gas off at the meter in hopes of saving a small leakage, without losing at least seven dollars' worth of dignity per week. A New York druggist has six calls per week from women who want to suicide. He gives them powders in place of poison, and they are terribly sick, desire to live, and do live, and some of them marry rich coal merchants. There is in the heart of woman such a deep well of love that no age can freeze it.—Exchange. That's all very true, but still, one hates to find her in the hall as he comes in at one o'clock. There's a bare possibility that her love will freeze up for about a minute.

It would have been better had I been worshiping instead of counting, but it was almost involuntary, and did not take me more than ten seconds. Plunket was once engaged in a case when, towards the end of the afternoon, it became a question whether the court should proceed or adjourn till the next day. Plunket expressed his willingness to go on if the jury would "say," "Sit, sit, sit," said the presiding judge, "not set; hens set." "I thank you my lord," said Plunket. The case proceeded, and presently the judge had occasion to observe that if that were the case, he feared the action would not "lay." "Else, my lord, lie," exclaimed the barrister, "not 'lay'; hens lay." "Now lost, but gone before!" exclaims the man when his hat blows off and ahead of him. Rutherford B.

"So there's another Vociferous," said Mrs. put down the paper specs. "The paper te burning lather running ain, but it don't tell how." For once there is a topic of the day of which Herald hasn't heard a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born on the 27th of February, 1807. If the age assigned to man by the Psalmist is neither the exact measure of life nor of creative power, it is at least a period whence, looking back, the total character of a life, and the sum of that life's achievement, may be calmly and impartially estimated. It is now just half a century since Mr. Longfellow published his first fugitive lyrics; and the career of no American author, since that time, has been marked by such even sunshine of recognition. His fame was of gradual growth; but, as he had no literary vice to unlearn, it was sound to the core. His later popularity (unequaled by that of any modern English poet, with the exception of Tennyson) is due neither to accidental taste nor conscious effort to secure it; but it rests, simply and soley, upon the natural response in the hearts of men and women to the limpid thought, the purified aspiration, the gentle and consoling sentiment, of his poetry. These qualities have carried his name far beyond the limits of his country and of the English tongue. In every land and language of Europe he is the representative of American Song. Mr. Longfellow's life, but for a single great and tragic sorrow, must be called an eminently fortunate one—but not because its fortune has specially resided in its accompanying circumstances. Its best happiness has grown from personal qualities, to which on such an anniversary, we may be pardoned for referring. With all his great fame, he has been, and still remains, singularly moest; he has invariably preserved silence, when assailed; literary jealousy, or emulation save in the noblest sense, he has never known; and he has been as slow to deal sharply with the faults of others as he has been eager to recognize the least promise of good. A large, unreserving humanity is the basis of his nature, not only coloring every form of his creative activity, but manifested in the speech and act of his daily life. We cannot associate the idea of age with such a nature; even the sweet serenity and grace of his recent "Morituri Salutamus" makes us half believe that it was written for others, and not for the poet himself. We are still too young a nation to have adopted any official acknowledgment of the glory of Literature: We cannot give the poet rank and title, as in Deal Gently with the Stomach. Do not rack it with violent pursuits, or permanently impale its tone with indigestible drags of any kind, but if your digestion is impaired, your liver out of order, your frame debilitated, or nervous system unstrung, use that wholesome and agreeable alternative and tame. Hostellar's Stomach Bitterness, which will certainly afford you the desired relief. None of the official remedies can compare with it in restorative efficacy, and as a medicinal stimulant it is by far the most desirable as well as popular article of its class.

D. M. Osborne & Co. In our search for new and commendable things we found ourselves on Monday in the new establishment of D. M. Osborne & Co., at 254 Market street, San Francisco. At this site a new building has been erected during the last year and a good part of its space thus put to good service as the headquarters for this coast of a well-known firm of makers of first-class agricultural implements. It is not necessary to allude at length to the large home establishment at Anburn, N.Y.; suffice it to say that the firm of D. M. Osborne & Co. is of 20 years' standing, and has carried on trade in all parts of the world with success. At Anburn they have two of the largest factories in the United States. These are the result of the consolidation of the Wheeler, Kirby, Cayuga Chief, Dodge and other patents for reaping and mowing machinery. The house on Market street, San Francisco, is a direct branch of the Eastern establishment. It is under the management of Mr. M. Ayers, who is a veteran with these machines. Mr. Ayers has just returned from an extended tour at the East, and has returned with his family for a residence here; so the San Francisco branch of D. M. Osborne & Co. is a permanent institution. As such we welcome it to the list of our thriving agricultural implement establishments. We noticed especially during our call at the store on Monday, Kirby mower, which we have known for years at the East as a successful machine, the Wheeler combined self-raking reaper and mower, which has been used last year in this State and the Territories and has high Testimonials, and which with its admirable folding arrangement takes to itself most convenient form for movement. These, with a full line of extras of all parts of the machines, will constitute the specialties of the establishment. The new store will be fitted up with all the conveniences for the display and sale of the machines, and will be worth a visit from purchasers of harvesting machinery. Those farmers who own any old Kirby Machines and need extra parts for the same must send their orders before the cutting season commencements. "Postry of the Pacific."

A large, unreserving humanity is the basis of his nature, not only coloring every form of his creative activity, but manifested in the speech and act of his daily life. We cannot associate the idea of age with such a nature; even the sweet serenity and grace of his recent "Morituri Salutamus" makes us half believe that it was written for others, and not for the poet himself. We are still too young a nation to have adopted any official acknowledgment of the glory of Literature. We cannot give the poet rank and title, as in Europe, and government pensions for such service would be wildly distributed by the hands of a Congressional Committee. Even the people, while they enjoy and are grateful, rarely remember that silent, unknown appreciation often seems the absence of it, to an author. Those forms of expression which constitute a tangible reward for years of devoted endeavor, must come from a small class. When the proper occasion comes, they are not withheld. The seventieth birthday of William Cullen Bryant was specially honored by the Century Club of this city, in 1864, and the venerable poet's eightieth birthday, two years ago, was permanently commemorated by a memorial vase. On both of these occasions the whole people may be said to have been represented; the East and the West joined hands with Mr. Bryant's friends and neighbors. We are glad to make known the fact that Mr. Longfellow had the opportunity of accepting a similar tribute. Several well-known gentlemen of this city, last spring, discussed the plan of tendering to him a complimentary banquet on the present anniversary. It would have found a more than hearty, even a joyous response; all men prominent in letters, art, the learned professions, commerce, and industry, would have united to make the testimonial worthy alike of the city and the guest. But, as Mr. Longfellow was then suffering from a severe neuralgic affection, it was thought best to ascertain whether the compliment would be acceptable, before proceeding further. While expressing his grateful acknowledgment of the will and design, he begged to be allowed to accept the former alone. He has always shrunk from positions which must make him personally conspicuous. While we regret that an opportunity has been lost, which indeed could not add to his secure renown, but would have revived a sense of the debt which the whole American people owe to him, and have encouraged many a lonely literary worker, it is the more our duty to make public the tribute which was intended. There must have been yesterday thousands of "happy returns" silently expressed in hearts which look for the same pleasure, hope, or consolation in coming years as they have received from the poet in the past. Like our own gray bard, Mr. Longfellow will never forsake his Muse. No cloud of doubt or mad impatience ever troubled her serene eyes, no wind of fierce human passion ever ruffled her bright filleted locks. If there is now and then a quieter tone in her voice, she chants the same welcome lessons as of old. When—many years hence let us bone—she appears in store on Monday, the Kirby mower, which we have known for years at the East as a successful machine, the Wheeler combined self-reaking reaper and mower, which has been used last year in this State and the Territories and has high Testimonials, and which with its admirable folding arrangement takes to itself most convenient form for movement. These, with a full line of extras of all parts of the machines, will constitute the specialties of the establishment. The new store will be fitted up with all the conveniences for display and sale of the machines, and will be worth a visit from purchasers of harvesting machinery. Those farmers who own any old Kirby Machines and need extra parts for the same must send their orders before the cutting season commence—Rural Press. Reasons Why the "Rogers Upright Piano" Must Soon Superseize All Others. 1. It is the most durable piano that has ever been made. In fact, there is no more wear out to it than to a harp. 2. It stands in tune in all weatherers and seasons, while all other pianos are constantly getting out of tune. 3. What little tuning it may happen to need in the course of time can be done by any one that can tune a violin or guitar. 4. It cannot get out of order, and therefore costs nothing for repairs, which is a large item of expense with all other pianos. 5. If by accident, any part of the mechanism should get broken, it can be replaced without trouble at a trilingue expense. 6. The pedal cannot get out of order. 7. The hammers cannot "stick." 8. Its tone is purer than that of any other piano; its singing quality is unapproachable, and it is therefore especially to be preferred as an accompaniment for the voice. 9. The "upright" is now the fashionable form of piano, and the "Rogers Upright" far excels all others in elegance of design and exquisite beauty of finish. 10. The price is lower than that of any other first-class upright. 11. When you buy a piano made upon the old plan, you do so with a perfect certainty that it will lose its beauty of tone, and deprecate in value every year, until in a brief period it will become almost worthless, and its sound will be intolerable to musically educated ears. On the contrary no person can examine a "Rogers" without feeling perfectly sure that it will be precisely the same instrument after twenty, or even fifty years' service, and consequently that. 12. You will be able to sell a Rogers Piano that has been used for a much better price than any other second-hand piano. L.W.Taber & Co. Few people visit San Francisco without patronizing to a greater or less degree the photographers, especially if there happen to be curly headed, bright eyed, rosy cheeked youngsters in the party. To get a good picture of one of these irreparable youngsters is no trifling matter. A few artists seem to have mastered the art of catching the impression on the wing, and rarely fail to get a good picture. Notably among these is L.W.Taber & Co., 24, 26 and 28 Montgomery street. If you want a really first-class likeness of the little ones, be sure to give these artists a call while you are in the city. Buy the Best. If your wife must have a new sewing machine, and can't think of waiting until money is more plenty, be sure that you see the "New American" before you invest. It runs the lightest, is the most durable, has the most room under the arm, has a self-setting needle, and a self-threading shuttle, the stitch may be lengthened or shortened while the machine is running—in short, it is just as near a perfect working machine as we ever expect to see.

Like our own gray bard, Mr. Longfellow will never forsake his Muse. No cloud of doubt or mad impatience ever troubled her serene eyes, no wind of fierce human passion ever ruffled her bright, filleted locks. If there is now and then a quieter tone in her voice, she chants the same welcome lessons as of old. When—many years hence, let us hope—she passes away in the light of some solemn and cloudless sunset, leaving only the broken instrument fallen from her hands, the last vision of her face shall turn to us that youthful beauty which is born of faith in the Good.—New York Tribune. Color Blindness.—There have been so many accidents on the English railways of late that certain kind-hearted London editors have revived the French theory of color blindness as a probable explanation of an engine-driver's neglect to heed danger-signals. A medical expert, Haynes Walton, strengthens the theory by reciting this incident. "A few years ago I was investigating color appreciation, and the first instance of the acquired defect that came to my knowledge was in the person of an engine-driver. The man confessed, after an accident through not distinguishing the red signal, that he had gradually lost his color-power, which had been perfect." A manager of the company assured the expert that the driver had been examined only a few days before, and passed as having perfect sight. The Pall Mall Gazette sagely remarks that the evidence would have been less open to the suspicion if the engine-driver had confeeded to his color-blindness before, instead of after the accident. The same paper apprehends that color-blindness may become a popular defence to certain indictments for man-slaughter as insanity is to charges of murder. "So there's another rupture of Mount Vociferous," said Mrs. Partington, as she put down the paper and put up her specs. "The paper tells us about the burning lather running down the mountain, but it don't tell how it got on fire." Fon once there is a much talked of topic of the day of which the New York Herald hasn't heard a word. Buy the Best.

A Liniment for Man and Beast. Whether for use on man or beast, Merchant's Gargling Oil will be found an invaluable limb ment, 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 good will of the people to a greater degree than this. Yellow wrapper for animal and white for human flesh."—N. Y. Independent. Extract from a letter from Q. H. Simmonda, Unionville, Ia., July 24, 1873.—"I am selling merchant's Gargling Oil than all the liniments put together, and I am keeping twelve different kinds think it is the best remedy for horseflesh in existence, and can say it without fear of misconduct." Extract from a letter from Shoermaker & Co., Bloomington, Ind., Sept. 17th, 1873.—"It is the popular horse liniment in this country." Extract from a letter from Goe. A. Snell, Braman's Corners, N. Y., Aug. 9th, 1873.—"I sell more of your Gargling Oil than 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 need or sold." Extract from a letter from Snowdon & Gibbs, Concordia, Kan., July 25th, 1873.—"We sell 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 stains, to be used as a common liniment for human flesh, extracting the coloring ingredient which has humectors removed 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, Unlstown, Pa., Jan. 31, 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 stains, are much sought for." The Gargling Oil called "Family Oil," although prepared intentionally for human flesh, anawors as well for beauties; vice versa, the dark Oil answers as well for human flesh, only in stiff stains 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 cornicinative. It can be taken internally when such a remedy is indicated, and is a good substitute for pain killers, corcidis and anodyne. For Crampsa or Spasma of the Stomach, Colic, Anemia, or Internal Pain, the dose may be 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 Manufactured at Lockport, N.Y., by M. G. O. Co., and sold by all druggists.
