It is said that Europe will soon be com-
pelled to look to America for all the tar
(which is an enormous quantity) that she
consumes. Heretofore Europe has, in a
great measure, obtained her supply from
Archangel, in the White Sea, Russia, and
the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea; but it ap-
pears the trees are giving out, and orders
for tar will have to go elsewhere.
Purb Girls and Impure Boys.—Girls,
in treating dissipated-young men as equals,
says the Woman'i Journal, do a wrong
they can scarcely realize. Such men
should be made to feel that until they re
deem themselves, until they walk with
correctness and honor in the paths of
right, good people stand aloof from them.
Girls who respect themselves will not be
teen with such men, and will decline to re-
ceive them on the femlliar footing of
friendship. It is a mistaken kindness to
poultice when caustic is needed, and I am
inclined to think that a little sharp decision
on the part of the girls of to-day would go
Car to correct the general looseness of mor-
ality among young men.
Dr. W. J. Fools, says the Columbus
(Ga.) Enquirer, has a king-snake, which is
a little fellow, but a regular stunner for
fighting and swallowing. When found in
the woods, some two weeks ago, he had
just taken in a moccasin larger than him-
self, which he disgorged when placed on
the sidewalk. Yesterday another live
moccasin was placed in his cage. The
king went for him at once, In a twinkle
was wrapped around his body, crushing
life out, and proceeded to swallow Ills op-
ponent in the most nonchalant style, com-
mencing with his head. He is a regular
boa constrictor on a small scale. The
moccasin was considerably larger than
himself.
Dan Davis of Virginia City paid a visit
to Promontory, ou the Central Pacific
Railroad, and was charmed with the man-
ners and customs—almost patriarchal In
their frank simplicity—of the people. He
stopped at the principal hotel of the town.
It was a nloe place, and the landlord was a
very agreeable and friendly sort of a man.
Says Dan : " When dinner was ready the
landlord came out Into the street in front
of hi* hotel with a double-barreled shot-
gun. Kalsing the gun above his head he
flted off one barrel. I
did you do that for f
boarders to dinner/
I said to him, 'What
Said he, To call my
I said, 'Why don't
rou fire off both barrels P 'Oh ' said he,
keep the other to oollect with.'"
On* way «of to keep warm is to drink
freely of hot drinks; to keep the pores of
the skin closed; to eat more than can be
digested; to sit over a hot-tlr luruact; to
toe tightly; wear tight garters, light
shoes, tight gloves, and bundle up with
"heaps" of warm clothing; wear muf-
flers around the neck, and avoid a breath
of oool fresh air; take wine or bitters be-
fore meals, and plHs to aid "
digestion after
lonth or i
eating. . Do this dally, a month or more,
and you will be as tender as a tropical
housA-plant, and will take " dreadful
«M'" on the slightest exposure. Hot
drinks just before going out are especially
favorable to lnduoe chills; and thlsls about
the way many are now trying to cheat na-
ture and to proloag a miserable existence.
Thb Bessemer steamer system has been
applied by a Mr. Henry Glfferd to a hang-
ing railroad oar, which has been tested
with sucoess on the line of the Northern
Railway, In France. Seated in this car,
which hangs on elastic springs, the travel-
er experiences the sensation of reposing in
a hammock, free from the vibrations and
bumplngs of the ordinary car. At times
the oar undulates as does a boat on a calm
sea. The movement 1* described as a very
gentle one, and the traveler Is enabled to
read without fetlgue and write with ease.
The principle of the car. applied to ambu-
lanoes, doubtless would bo a great boon to
the wounded who may be conveyed In
them.—Bojío Ainrtmr.

I* stove polish is mixed with very

as it ufeually does.
To Clnan Whit* Paint—Whiting is
unequaled for cleaning white paint. Take
a small quantity on a damp flannel, rub
lightly over the surface, ana the effect will
be found surprising.
To Prevent Rust.—Boiled lk-seed oil
will protect Instruments and tools
(flies, saws, guns, etc.) from rusting.
Wipe the metal with a cloth dipped in the
oil, and let it dry, which will require only
a few minutes.
To Roast Small Birds—Take larks,
blackbirds, snipe, or any other small
birds, cover them with sage leaves, fresh
if possible, then envelop them in slices of
fat bacon, put them down to a good lire,
and baste with Lucca oil and butter,
sprinkle a little salt, and serve in the
gravy.
Scrambled Eoos—Break eight or more
eggs into a basin, add a tablespoonful of
nice butter, cut into bits, and a teaspoon
ful of salt. Make a little bit of butter hot
in a frying pan. pour in the eggs and let
them cook. Stir them with a silver spoon
until they are just set without being hard
or brown. Serve over toast.
Spanish Puffs.—Put into a saucpan a
tcacupfUl of water, } teaspoonfUl of salt,
and 2 ounces of butter. While boiling add
sufficient flour for it to leave the saucepan;
stir in one by one the yelks of 4 epgs, drop
a teaspoonful at a time into boiling lard,
fry them a light brown, and pour white
wine and melted butter over them.
Tomato Pilau.—Scald, peel and sjlce
fresh tomatoes; place a layer of tbem in
an enameled kettle, and then sprinkle in
a little rice, about 1 part rice to 4 parts to-
matoes, in alternate layers, then cover
close and set on a gentle Are or in the
oven, and cook until the rice is perfectly
tender—about one hour after it begins to
boil. Serve as a vegetable at dinner.
Sugar for Preserving.—Raw sugars
generally contain a certain proportion of
glucose, a fermentable non-crystallizable
sugar, which is a source of great trouble
in fruit preserving. Sugar to be used for
this purpose should be in crystals, as that
form precludes the possibility of an Im-
' or Kln-
8
mentioned, ana not liable to ferment.
Hashed Mutton.—2 ounces butter, 2
ounces flour, put into a stewpan to melt,
then add 1 pint of stock, a lew chopped
gherkins, and a little Harvey or Worcester
sauce, or instead of these last two, a little
currant jelly and port wine to fancy. Put
the mutton (previously cut in slices) into
the sauce; allow it to simmer for a quar
tcr of an hour.* Season according to taste

Outrage by Chinese Pirates.
The English newspapers contain details
of a shocking tragedy which occurred In
the China Sea, on board the English steam-
er Spark. A party of Chinese, numbering
twenty, embarked in her at Canton for
Mexico. The character of the men was
unknown at the time; but It subsequently
transpired that they were Chinese pirates,
who nad heard that a gambling-house pro-
prietor was taking passage in the ship with
a large sum of money In his possession.
When the vessel had got fairly to sea, the
Chinese got up a sham quarrel, and fought
with sticks. The officers of the shipIn-
terposed, when the Chinese fired at Captain
Brady and fatally wounded him. They
then hacked him almost to pieces, no less
than thirty-two wounds being afterward
found on nis body. A general massacre
of the crew followed. Mr. Mundy, an
English passenger, offered a gallant resist-
ance, but was stabbed twice in the breast.
They were in possession of the vessel six
hours, and ultimately left in a bont. Some
of the firemen, who had hid themselves
during the slaughter, and thus escaped to
tell the story, took tho ship to Macoa. It
was then found that nine persons had been
murdered, among whom were four pas-
sengers. Information was forwarded to
the English Commodore on the station,
Captain J. E. Parish, B. N., who dispatch-
ed her Majesty's gun-vessel Elk in search
of the murderers. Portuguese and Chi-
nese gunboats have alsq gone in search of
them.
Exports of Musical Instruments.
Official records ef Custom House re-
turns at Washington show that the total
value of musical Instruments exported
from the United States during the year
ending June 30, 1874, was $680,327. Of
this, £158,176 was for pianos and $292,151
for parlor or reed organs. Of this latter
amount $163,168, or more than one-half of
the whole, was of the cabinet organs made
by the Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.,
which bid fldr to become as famous In Eu-
rope as they have long been in America.
This company certainly have reftson to be
proud of the fact that' the
mand for their organs is larger
for all others combined.—Boston Traveller.

VINEGAR BITTERS
■ |i * J M M 1 fc
l)r. J. Walker's California Vin-
dgar Bitters aro a purely Vegetable
preparation, mado cliiclly from tlie na-
tive herbs found on tho lower ranges of
tbe Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor-
nia, the medicinal properties of which
are extractod therefrom without tho uso
of Alcohol. Tho question is almost
daily asked, "What is tho causo of tho
unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit-
TEKsf" Our answer is, that they remove
tbe cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They aro the great
blood purifier and a life-giving principio,
a perfect Kenovator and Invigorator
of the system. Novor before in tho
hii.ory of tbo world has a medicino beeii
compounded possessing« ilio rcinmknblo
qualities of Vinegar Iíittkh in healing tho
¿ok of every disease limn i heir to. Tlicy
ire a gentle Pifrgativo as well as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties ot Dr. Walker's
Vinegar Bittkrs are Aperiént. Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative. Uiurtitio,
Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Altera-
tive, and Anti-Bilious.
Grateftil Thousands proclaim Vnr-
euak Bitteks the most wonderful la-
vigoraut that ever sustained the sinking
system. -
No Person tun take these Bittero
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de-
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair. „ —
Bilious, Remittent and Inter*
mittent 1 evers, which are so preva-
lent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan-
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, liie Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro-
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout-our
entire country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea-
sons of unusual heat'and dryness, are
in variabiyaccompauied by extensive de-
rangements of tho stpmach and "liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow-
erful influence upon these various or-
gans, 4s essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to
Dr. J. Wauckr's Vinegar Bitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark-
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at the same time
stipulating the secretions of the liver,,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its tiuidswith Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head-
ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste
in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita-
tatiou of the Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid-
neys, aud a hundred other painful symp-
toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will provo a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise-
ment.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neok,
Gcitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Kruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc.
In theso, as in all othel constitutional Dis-
eases, 'Walkkr's Vinegar Bitterb havo
shown their great curaiive powers in the
most obstinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit-
tent .and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of
the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bitters have no equal. Such Disease!
are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en-
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advauco in life, are subject
to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against tnis, take a dose of Walker's Vim- '
egar Bitters occasionally.
For Sk'in Diseases, Eruptions, Tet-
tor, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, King-worms,
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of tbo system in a short time by the usa
of theso Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
lurking in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and remoVed. No
system of medicine, no vermifiiges, no an-
thelmiuitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo-
manhood, or the turn of life, thase Tonio
Bitters display so decided an influence that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when-
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores;
eleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in -the veins; cleanse it when it is
foul; your feelings will tell fou when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
