ROWELL & CO.'s Newspaper Advertising Bureau (10 Spruce Street), where advertising contracts may be made for it in NEW YORK. THE CHARACTER OF DOGS. The civilization, the manners, and the morals of dog kind are to a great extent subordinated to those of his ancestral master, man. This animal, in many ways so superior, has accepted a position of inferiority shares the domestic life, and pains the caprices of the tyrant. The "dog's instinct" and the "automaton-dog," in this age of psychology and science, sound like strange anachronisms. An automaton, he certainly is; a machine working independently of his control, the heart like the mill-wheel, keeping all in motion, and the consciousness, like a person shut in the mil-garret, enjoying the view out of the window and shaken by the thunder of the storms; an automaton in one corner of which living spirit is contained, an automaton like man. Instinct again, he certainly possesses. But with him, as with man, the field of instinct is limited; its utterances are obscure and occasional; and about the far larger part of life both the dog and his master must conduct their steps by education and observation. The learning distinction between dog and man, after and perhaps before the different duration of their lives, is that the one can speak and the other cannot. The absence of the power at speech counts the dog in the development of his intellect; it hinders him from many specializations, for words are the beginning of metaphysics; at the same blow it saves high from many superstitions; and his silence has won for him a higher name for virtue than his conduct justices. The faults of the dog are many. He is valuer than man, singularly greedy of notice, singularly intolerant of irritable, suspicious like the deaf, jealous to the degree except for human countenance, he was alone. Friendless, shorn of his sports and the habits of a lifetime, he still lived in a glory of happiness, content with his acquired respectability, and with no care but to support it solemnly. Are we to condemn or praise this self-made dog? We praise his human brother. And thus to conquer vicious habits is as rare with dogs as with men. With the more part, for all their scruple-mongering and moral thought, the vices that are born with them remain invincible throughout; and they live all their years, glorying in their virtues, but still the slaves of their defects. The eight is his favorite commandment. There is something painfully human in these unequal virtues and moral frailties of the best. I once supposed that I had found an inverse relation between the double etiquette which dogs obey; and that those who were most addicted to the showy street life among other dogs, were less careful in the practice of home virtues for the tyrant man. Dogs live with man as courtiers roamed a monarch. Steeped in the flattery of his motives and prized with sincerities. To punish their favor in this world of packings and caresses is perhaps, the business of their lives; and their joys may be outside. I am in despair at our persistent ignorance. I read in the lives of our companions the same process of reason, the same antique and fatal conflicts of the right against the wrong, and of unbitten nature when too rigid custom; I see them with our weaknesses, vain, false, inconsistent against appetite; and with our one stock of virtue, devoted to the dream of an idea; and yet, as they burry me on the street with tail in air, or come singly to solicit my regard. I must own the secret purpose of their lives is still inscrutable to man. It man the friend, or is he the patron only? Have they indeed forgotten nature's voice or are those moments snatched from courtship when they touch noses with the trunker's strengeness, the brief reword and pleasure of their artificial lives? Doubtless, when man shares with his dog the tools of a profession and the pleasures of an act, as with the sheepard or the poacher, the affection warmth and strengthens till it fills the soul. EXTRAORDINARY OCCASION NOTES. Sacramento Record Union. An Assemblyman from a southern county engaged rooms for his wife, and wrote her on Tuesday to come. Last evening he sent her the following telegram: "Unpack your Saratoga, and lay aside your seaskin saque. No showing off your fine clothes in Sacramento. The opportunity has vanished; the extraordinary session is busted." The autograph gatherer, now engaged in "doing" the Legislature, says he did not say "but few of the signatures of the members could be read," but that what he said was that "all the members were good writers except those who are lawyers, and they all make a few scratches on the album that looks like wrecked gridirons, and call them their autographs." Yesterday the House Committee on Corporations held a meeting at which it was decided that all bills and resolutions referred to that committee should be sent to a subcommittee, whose duty it would be to examine and report. The sub-committee consists of Wallace, Atwell and Wharton. A member of the House Judiciary Committee informed a reporter last evening that the Stephens' resolution, giving Governor Steneman and Controller Dunn a little "taffy," has been considered by the committee. A motion to recommend its passage was defeated by a vote of 8 to 5. The Democratic Senatorial Caucus held yesterday was in session for more than two hours. A general discussion ensued on matters pertaining to proposed legislation, but nothing definite was arrived at beyond the adoption of a resolution to the effect that railroad companies should be taxed in the same manner as individuals, as the companies have desired to be. Yesterday afternoon was a dull period about the capitol. After the adjournment of the Assembly at noon the members of that body scattered, many returning to their homes by the evening trains. Most of the Republican and some Democratic Senators left by the early morning train for the Bay. It is just the rage for consideration that has betrayed the dog into his satellite position as the friend of man. The cat, an animal of trunker appetites, preserves its independence. But the dog with one eye on the audience has been wheeled right slavery, and praised and patted into the renunciation of his nature. Once he ceased hunting and became man's plate keeper, the Ridley was crossed. Then forth he was a gentleman of leisure and except the few whom we keep working, the whole race grew more and more self-conscious, mannered, and affected. Woman, with the dog, has been long enfranchised. Incessant massacre of female innocence has changed the proportions of the wars and parvoured their relations. Thus, when we regard the members of the dog, we see a remnant and monogamous animal, once percept as delicacy as the cat, at war with impatient countryside. All the state gentlemen have gentle caustics. I hope was little bury some what plean in manner and appearance, but a creative compact in a stability and solid wisdom. His family going to be a winter, he was received for that person by an uncle in the same city. The winter over, my own family home again, and his own mouse which he was very proudly reopened, he found himself in a dilemma between two conflicting duties of loyalty and gratitude. His own friends were not to be neglected, but it seemed hardly decent to desert the new. This was how he solved the problem. Every morning as soon as the door was opened, off posted Coulom to his uncle's, visited the children in the nursery, saluted the whole family, and was back at home in time for breakfast and his bit of fish. Nor was this done without a sacrifice on his part, sharply felt; for he had to forego the particular honor and jewel of his day—his morning walk with my father. And perhaps from this cause he gradually weared of and relaxed the practice, and at length returned entirely to his ancient habits. Eat the same decision served him in another and more distressing case of divided duty, which happened not long after. He was not at all a kitchen dog, out the cook had nursed him with unusual kindness during the disemper; and though bed did not adore her as he altered my father—as though glorn snobb) he was critically conscious of her position as "only a servant"—he still cherished Artjice in Discovering a Secret. Mr. F. A. B. Carula, F. C. S., General Manager of the Lamiere Siemens Steel Works, recently delivered a lecture on "The Stoel Age," in which he referred to the experiments of Huntsman, the Duncaster clock maker, who perfected the process of melting blister steel in crucibles, and producing a nonogeneous ingot about 1740. Huntsman endeavored to keep his process secret, with the following result: "One cold winter's night, while the snow was falling in heavy flakes, and the manufactory threw its red glaze of light over the neighborhood, a person of the most objective appearance presented himself at the entrance, praying for permission to share the warmth and shelter which it afforded. The innate workman found the appetitist satiable, and the apparent begar was permitted to take up his quarters in a warm quarter of the building. A careful scrutiny would have discovered little real sleep in the drowsiness, which seemed to overtake the stranger; for he eagerly watched every movement of the workman while they went through the operations of the newly discovered process. He observed first of all that bars of bisfered steel were broken into small pieces two or three inches in length, and placed in crucibles of fire clay. When nearly full, a little green glass broken into fragments was spread over the top, and the whole covered over with a closely fitting cover. After a lapse of from three to four hours, during which the crucibles were examined from time to time to see that the metal was thoroughly melted and incorporated, the workmen proceeded to lift up the crucible from its place on the furnace by means of tongs, and its molten contents, blazing and sparkling, were poured into a mould of cast iron previously prepared; here it was suffered to cool, while the crucibles were again filled and the process repeated. When cool the mould was unscrewed and a bar of cast steel presented itself, which only required the aid of the hammerman to form a finished bar of cast steel. How the unlit nature with too tight cushion? I see them with our weaknesses, vain, false, important against appetite; and with our one stock of virtue, devoted to the dream of an ideal; and yet, as they burry by me on the street with tail in air, or come singly to solicit my regard. I must own the secret purport of their lives is still inscrutable to man. Is man the finked, or is he the patron only? Have they indeed forgotten nature's voice or are those moments snatched from courtship when they touch noses with the tinkler's smear; the brief reward and pleasure of their artificial lives? Doubliess, when man shares with his dog the tools of a profession and the pleasure of an act, as with shepherd or the poncher; the affection warmes and strengthens till it tilts the soul. But doubtless also, the masters are, in many cases, the object of a merely interested enttias; lifting about looms quartzize, giving and receiving battery and favor; and the dogs, like the majority of men, have but to regale their true existence and become the diapes of their amusement. Successful Artjice in Discovery a Secret. Mr. F. A. B. Carula, F. C. S., General Manager of the Lamiere Siemens Steel Works, recently delivered a lecture on "The Stoel Age," in which he referred to the experiments of Huntsman, the Duncaster clock maker, who perfected the process of melting blister steel in crucibles, and producing a nonogeneous ingot about 1740. Huntsman endeavored to keep his process secret, with the following result: "One cold winter's night, while the snow was falling in heavy flakes, and the manufactory threw its red glaze of light over the neighborhood, a person of the most objective appearance presented himself at the entrance, praying for permission to share the warmth and shelter which it afforded. The innate workman found the appetitist satiable and the apparent begar was permitted to take up his quarters in a warm quarter of the building. A careful scrutiny would have discovered little real sleep in the drowsiness, which seemed to overtake the stranger; for he eagerly watched every movement of the workman while they went through the operations of the newly discovered process.

When cool the mould was unscrewed and a bar of cast steel presented itself, which only required the aid of the hammerman to form a finished bar of cast steel. Material Fevers. The case on trial described by Dr. Griswald in the New England Medical Monthly of August 15, referred to a pond in Berkshire County, Mass., near which many cases of ague and fever have occurred. The point was this: Did the pond cause the fevers? The disease has been in time past by most writers reckoned a marsh fever; and it was commonly believed to be limited to regions and to seasons where vegetable matters were undergoing decomposition from moisture and heat—that is, to swampy lands (and except in the tropics) to the autumn months. Now England was formerly free from it. It is possible that a single case may have occurred occasionally in the extreme southwestern part of Connecticut; but practically ague was unknown until 1860. In that year a most wonderful onward movement to north and east commenced and it has continued unchecked until the present time; and in its progress it has overruned this rate as remarkable as was back at home in time for breakfast and his bit of fish. Nor was this done without a sacrifice on his part, sharply left for he had to forego the particular honor and jewel of his day—his morning walk with my father. And perhaps from this cause he gradually wearted of and relaxed the practice, and at length returned entirely to his ancient habits. But the same decision served him in another and more distressing case of divided duty, which happened not long after. He was not at all a kitchen dog, out the cook had nursed him with unusual kindness during the distemper; and though he did not adore her as he sacred my father—as though glorn aneb) he was certainly conscious of her position as "only a servant"—he still cherished for her a special gratitude. Well, the cook left, and retired some streets away to lodgings of her own; and there was Coolin in precisely the same situation with any young gentleman who has had the inestimable benefit of a faithful nurse. The canine conscience did not solve the problem with a pound of tea at Christmas. No longer content to pay a flying visit, it was the whole forenoon that he dedicated to his solitary friend. And so, day by day, he continued to comfort her solitude until (for some reason which I could never understand and cannot approve) he was kept locked up to break him of the graceful habit. Here, it is not the similarity, it is the difference, that is worthy of remark; the clearly marked degrees of gratitude and the proportional duration of his visits. There are not many dogs like this good Coolin, and not many people. But the type is one well marked, both in the human and the canine family. Gallautry was not his aim, but a solid and somewhat oppressive respectability. I knew one disrespectable dog. He was far liker a cat; cared little or nothing for men, with whom he merely co-existed as we do with cattle, and was entirely devoted to the art of poaching. A house would not hold him, and to live in a town was what he refused. He led, I believe, a life of troubled but genuine pleasure, and perished beyond all question in a trap. But this was an exception, a marked reversion to the ancestral type; like the hairy human infant. The true dog of the nineteenth century, to judge by the remainder of my fairly large acquaintance, is in love with respectability. A street dog was once adopted by a lady. While still an Arab, he had done as Arabs do, gambolling in the mud, charging into butchers' stalls, a cat-hunter, a sturdy beggar, a common rogue and vagabond; but with his rise into society, he laid aside these inconsistent pleasures. He stole no more, he hunted no more cats; and conscious of his collar, he ignored his old companions. Yet the canine upper class was never brought to recognize the upstart, and from that hour, he was thoroughly melted and incorporated, the workmen proceeded to lift up the crucible from its place on the furnace by means of tongs, and its molten contents, blazing and sparkling, were poured into a mound of cast iron previously prepared; here it was suffered to cool, while the crucibles were again filled and the process repeated. When cool the mould was unscrewed and a bar of cast steel presented itself, which only required the aid of the hammerman to form a finished bar of cast steel. How the unauthorized spectator of these operations effected his escape without detection tradition does not say, but it tells us that before many months had passed the Huntsman manufactory was not the only one where cast steel was produced." He Was a Married Muh. Many years ago in the old stage-coaching times, a newly married couple, accompanied by the bride's sister, were the sole occupants of a stage coach, with the exception of a middle aged gentleman of good address, with whom they entered slightly into conversation. Era long upon coming to a hill, the driver put his head into the coach window and said, shortly, "Have to get out and walk up this hill." The party immediately dismounted, and the bridegroom offered his arm to Miss M——, the sister, who accepted it in a most gingerly and modest manner. All reserve was broken down, however, when the stranger observing Miss M——'s reserved acceptance of his proffered aid, sang out cheerily, "Don't be afraid to bear on hard, ma'am I'm a married man." Everybody that has tried Ammen's Cough Syrup continues its use; besides they tell their neighbors of it. We were in a drug store the other day when a customer asked for a bottle of Ammen's Cough Syrup, saying "I do not know anything about it myself, but my neighbor advised me to buy it for my cold, and tells me that the use of three bottles has entirely cured his cough of two years' standing, in fact he says 'it is best medicine in the world for coughs,' colds and lung complaints," and that a one-dollar bottle did him more good than all the prescriptions he had from the doctors." The disease has been in time past by most writers reckoned a marsh fever, and it was commonly believed to be limited to regions and to seasons where vegetable matters were undergoing decomposition from moisture and heat—that is, to swampy lands and (except in the tropics) to the autumnal months. New England was formerly free from it. It is possible that a single case may have occurred occasionally in the extreme southwestern part of Connecticut, but practically ague was unknown until 1860. In that year a most wonderful onward movement to the north and east commenced and it has continued unchecked until the present time, and in its progress it has overturned theories at a rate as remarkable as its own advance. Commencing on Long Island Sound, at Southport, in 1869, it spread as already stated, with an irregular front, reaching New Haven in 1864, Hartford in 1872, and the northeast part of the State not till 1882. It has maintained a steadily epidemic condition ever since, having swept the State so fully that not a town is now exempt from its sway, except possibly a few in Windham and New London counties. Running up the Housatonic Valley, it reached the northern line of the State in 1877, and in 1878 it crept over into Massachusetts at Lenox (the place referred to by Dr. Griswold) and Lose. It has already invaded the sacred precincts of Boston, and is in high march for Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, for all that we can tell. This progress is astonishing; for no change has taken place in the surface or condition of the country to which it can be traced. Ponds and swamps have always existed of natural formation, and artificial ponds have been formed, dating back first to the settlements, but they have been harmless. Nor can we say that they have anything to do at the present time with the evil. For, disregarding its name 'of marsh fever', the epidemic has just as freely selected its victims on the hills as in the swampy valleys. Litchfield, "a city set on a hill," which had always boasted its healthfulness, acknowledged tread of the invader in 1880, and he has come to stay, to their great disgust. And disregarding also the fact that according to all previous theories a "good white frost" ought to destroy the maarial poison, the present epidemic has often maintained its activity in the very dead of winter. We are forced to conclude that the true cause, or causes, for the affection, and for its present eccentric northeastward march, yet remain for research. The pollutions of streams by the refuse from factories, etc., may of course cause much injury to health, but there is no evidence that they ever produce ague. GAZETTE. APRIL 5, 1884. SIMPLE AILMENTS. Remedies That may be of use in Home Treatment. Half a teaspoonful of common table salt dissolved in a little cold water and drank will instantly relieve "heart burn" or dyspepsia. If taken every morning before breakfast, increasing the quantity gradually to a teaspoonful of salt and a tumbler of water, it will in a few days cure any ordinary case of dyspepsia. If at the same time due attention is paid to the diet. There is no better remedy than the above for constipation. As a gargle for sore throat it is equal to chlorate of potash and is entirely safe. It may be used as often as desired, and it a little is swallowed each time, it will have a beneficial effect on the throat by cleansing it and allaying the irritation. In doses of one to four teaspoonsfuls in half a pint to a pint of tepid water it acts promptly as an emetic, and, in cases of poisoning, is always on hand. It is an excellent remedy for bites and stings of insects. It is a valuable astringent in hemorrhages, particularly for bleeding after the extracting of teeth. It has both cleansing and healing properties, and is therefore a most excellent application for superficial ulcerations. Mustard is another valuable remedy. No family should be without it. Two or three teaspoonsfuls of ground mustard stirred into ½ pint of water acts as an emetic very promptly, and is milder and easier to take than salt and water. Equal parts of ground mustard and flour or meal made into a paste with warm water and spread on a thin piece of muslin, with another piece of muslin laid over it, forms the indispensable "mustard plaster." It is almost a specific for colic when applied Health Hints. Oil of wintergreen mixed with an equal quantity of olive oil, when applied externally to inflamed points affected by rheumatism, is maintained to be, on high therapeutic authority, a means of instant relief from pain. At any rate, its introduction to the sick chamber is unobjectionable if only for the agreeable odor it imparts to the atmosphere. A yearly examination of the eyes of 250 students, from the beginning to the end of their college course, showed that ninety cases of short-sightedness grew to 120 during this period, and that nearly two-thirds of the cases increased in degree. The facts showed contrary to previous belief, that the defect may originate in any one up at least to the age of 20. More than one-half of all graduates in this country as well as in Europe, are short-sighted. — Youths Companion. A death from "soothing syrup" having lately occurred in Brooklyn, the Coroner's jury recommends a law for bidding the sale of such medicines, unless prescribed by a physician. We have no doubt that hundreds of deaths have been caused by these medicines, most of them not so speedily as in this case, so the cause was not so apparent. These syrups consist mainly of laudanum—the last drug that should be administered blindly to an infant. — Exchange. A girl having died of diphtheria, her earrings were cleansed in an ordinary way and given to her little sister who had been purposely kept from contact with the patient during her sickness. In a few days Senatorial Caucus held session for more than 80 discussions ensued on matriposed legislation, but arrived at beyond the motion to the effect that should be taxed in the individuals, as the company. Soon was a dull period. After the adjournment of a moon the members of many returning to their trains. Most of the Democratic Senators turning train for the Bay. All themes of conversation evening was the letter Marshall to Governor of which had become capitol and hotels. The State officials seems to the nature of irrepressible Senate remarked yester-session elements might as sharps and return to their such a marked division purpose among members crime measures advocacy by the requisite only result of the seizing a heavy expense to would disgust the taxpay-state to the Republicans current resolutions preslature are generally reasan bumcombe, and this confined to Republicans. It vigorous in denouncing Democrats of conserva-bills already introduced of the present special $50,000, which will fall necessary sum should the many weeks. The figure include the heavy ex-ing required nor many by a legislative session. This session has been kept stated that on Monday opened. It appears to severity, and the only way tendency of the "extra- and create the necessary Delmas" $50,000 fee bill is the saloon in the Cigar Making at Seville. A letter from Seville describes the govern-e at cigar factory of Spain. The factory is 700 feet long and almost as wide, and very dirty. At the time it was visited by the writer, there were 250 young girls in the vestibule, making cigarettes; on the next room were 100 other girls engaged in the same occupation, and on the next floor 3,000 women as close as sardines in a box, some of them having their babies with them not a mouth old, while dogs were lying on the tobacco stems. The women were divided into seven at each table, three on each side of the mistress at the top. Around each table were sheds against stone pillars on both cleansing and healing properties, and is therefore a most excellent application for superficial ulcerations.' Mustard is another valuable remedy. No family should be without it. Two or three teaspoonfuls of ground mustard stirred into ½ pint of water acts as an emetic very promptly, and is milder and easier to take than salt and water. Equal parts of ground mustard and flour or meal made into a paste with warm water and spread on a thin piece of muslin, with another piece of muslin laid over it, forms the indispensable "mustard plaster." It is almost a specific for colic when applied for a few minutes over the "pit of the stomach." For all internal pains and congestions there is no remedy of such general utility. It acts as a counter-irritant by drawing blood to the surface; hence in severe cases of croup a small mustard plaster should be applied to the back of the child's neck. The same treatment will relieve almost any case of headache. A mustard plaster should be moved about over the spot to be acted upon, for if left in one place it is liable to blister. A mustard plaster acts as well when at a considerable distance from the affected part. An excellent substitute for mustard plasters is what is known as "mustard leaves." They come a dozen in a box, and are four or five inches long. They are perfectly dry and will keep for a long time. For use it is only necessary to dip one in a dish of water for a minute and then apply it. Common baking soda is the best of all remedies in cases of scalds and burns. It may be used on the surface of the burned place either dry or wet. When applied properly the sense of relief is magical. It seems to withdraw the heat and with it the pain, and the healing process soon commences. It is the best application for eruptions caused by poisonous ivy and other poisonous plants, as also for bites and stings of insects. Owing to cold, over-fatigue, anxiety, and various other causes, the urine is often scanty, highly colored, and more or less loaded with phosphates which settle to the bottom of the vessel on cooling. As much soda as can be dipped up with a ten cent piece, dissolved in half a glass of cold water and drank every three hours, will soon remedy the trouble.-Hall's Journal of Health. Cigar Making at Seville. A letter from Seville describes the govern-e at cigar factory of Spain. The factory is 700 feet long and almost as wide, and very dirty. At the time it was visited by the writer, there were 250 young girls in the vestibule, making cigarettes; on the next room were 100 other girls engaged in the same occupation, and on the next floor 3,000 women as close as sardines in a box, some of them having their babies with them not a mouth old, while dogs were lying on the tobacco stems. The women were divided into seven at each table, three on each side of the mistress at the top. Around each table were sheds against stone pillars on both cleansing and healing properties, and is therefore a most excellent application for superficial ulcerations.' Mustard is another valuable remedy. No family should be without it. Two or three teaspoonfuls of ground mustard stirred into ½ pint of water acts as an emetic very promptly, and is milder and easier to take than salt and water. Equal parts of ground mustard and flour or meal made into a paste with warm water and spread on a thin piece of muslin, with another piece of muslin laid over it, forms the indispensable "mustard plaster." It is almost a specific for colic when applied for a few minutes over the "pit of the stomach." For all internal pains and congestions there is no remedy of such general utility. It acts as a counter-irritant by drawing blood to the surface; hence in severe cases of croup a small mustard plaster should be applied to the back of the child's neck. The same treatment will relieve almost any case of headache. A mustard plaster should be moved about over the spot to be acted upon, for if left in one place it is liable to blister. A mustard plaster acts as well when at a considerable distance from the affected part. An excellent substitute for mustard plasters is what is known as "mustard leaves." They come a dozen in a box, and are four or five inches long. They are perfectly dry and will keep for a long time. For use it is only necessary to dip one in a dish of water for a minute and then apply it. Common baking soda is the best of all remedies in cases of scalds and burns.

A new "Mother Shipton" thus soliloquizes in the Pittsburg Dispatch: When lawyers fail to take a fee, And juries never disagree; When politicians are content, And landlords don't collect their rent; When parties smash all the machines, And Boston folks give up their beans: When naughty children all die young, And girls are born without a tongue; When ladies don't take some to hop, And office-holders never flop; When preachers cut their sermons short, And all folks to the church resort; When back subscribers all have paid, And editors have fortunes made; Such happiness will sure portend The world must soon come to an end. Mayor Bartlett of San Francisco discovered among his mail a communication bearing the postmarks of the principal Mexican cities, addressed to "The High Gentleman and Ruler of the Republican City of California, Mexico." The missive purported to be written by L. Lazarovitz, of the province of Werschertz, Hungary, who claimed to be the heir of Andreas Lazarovitz, who died in November, 1877. He says that he has no Long Island Sound, at the time past by most marsh fever, and it is believed to be limited to seasons where vegetable long decomposition from that is, to swampy lands (opposites) to the autumnal island was formerly freeable that a single case occasionally in the extreme of Connecticut, but unknown until 1860.

The dwarf trees of China are curiosities of forestry. Every child knows how the Chinese cramp their women's feet by bandaging them when they are infants, and thus render it impossible for them to walk. It is however wonderful to see miniature oaks, chestnuts, pines, and cedars growing in flower-pots, fifty years old and yet not a foot high. To do this take a young plant, cut off its tap root; and place it in a basin where there is a good soil kept well watered. If it grows too rapidly, dig down and shorten in several roots. Every year the leaves grow smaller, and the little dwarf trees make interesting pets, just as some people raise canary birds and others squirrels.—Cultivator. Turtles are supposed to live to a very great age, but there is one variety that dies before it becomes turtle at all. Is it mock turtle? Mayor Bartlett of San Francisco discovered among his mail a communication bearing the postmarks of the principal Mexican cities, addressed to "The High Gentleman and Ruler of the Republican City of California, Mexico." The missive purported to be written by L. Lazarovitz, of the province of Werschertz, Hungary, who claimed to be the heir of Andreas Lazarovitz, who died in November, 1877. He says that he has no money, and wants the Ruler of the City of California to let him know what property of the deceased Lazarovitz belongs to him, and where it is. A Reno gentleman who is something of a prophet, says the Nevada State Journal, and who arrives at his conclusions from a scientific reading, predicts that the special session of the California Legislature will prove a calamity to the people of that State. He does not particularize, but says that body is sure to do some act of lasting injury to the State. If his prophecy is not verified, this special session will be an exception to any legislative body (that has assembled in this State for the past quarter of a century). WASHINGTON, March 27.—The Secretary of the Treasury has decided that dead lizards, imported into San Francisco for medicine by the Chinese, must be classified under the tariff law as medical preparations, and pay a duty of 40 per cent. ad valorem. In the Shade. Hon. R. C. Payne, City Alderman. Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, writes: "I have been a great sufferer with rheumatism for years and have tried every known remedy, including galvanic batteries and Turkish Baths. Finally I tried St. Jacobs Oil the great pain-cure and can positvely say it gave me instantaneous relief. It puts all other remedies in the shade." For a cough or cold there is no remedy equal to Amen's Cough Syrup.
