The late Noah Winslow was fond oftel ling the following incident ot his mer cantile life, and he never closed the nar ration but with swimming eyes: During the financial crisis and crash of ’57, when heavy men were sinking all around us, and banks were tottering, our house became alarmed in view of the con dition of its own affairs. The partners—three of us, of whom I was the senior—met in onr private office for consultation. Our junior had made a careful inventory of everything—of his bills receivable and bills payable, and his report was, that twenty thousand dollars of ready money, to be held through the pressure, would save us. Without that, wo must go by the board—the result was inevitable, f went out upon the street, and among my friends, but in vain. Two whole days I strove, and begged, and then returned to the counting-house in despair. I sat at my desk, expecting every moment to hear our junior sounding the terrible words, “our paper is protes ted !”—when a gentleman entered my de partment unannounced. I could not lo cate him nor call him to my mind any way. “Mr. Winslow,” he said, taking a seat at the end of my desk, “I hear you are in need of money.” The very lace of the man inspired me with confidence, and I told him how I was situated. “Make your individual note for one year, without interest, for twenty thousand dollars, and I will give you a check, pay able in gold for that amount.” While I sat gazing upon him in speech less astonishment, he continued: -iou none remem ner me: Dut i re i member you. I remember when you j were a member of the Superintending I School Committee of Bradford. I was a boy iu the village school. My father was dead: my mother was poor"; and I was but a shabbily clad child, though dean. When our class came out on examination day, you asked the questions. I fancied you would praise and pet the children of rich and fortunate parents, and pass me by. "But it was not as I thought. In the end you passed by all the others, and came tome. You laid’your hand on my head, and told me I did very well; and then you told me I could do better still if I would i try. You told me the way to honor and renown were open to all alike, no one had a free pass. All I had to do was to be re solved and push on. That, sir, was the turning point of my life. From that hour my soul was inspired, and I have never reached a great good without blessing you in my heart. I have prospered and am wealthy and now I offer you but a poor return for the soul wealth you gave me in that bv-gone time.” “I took the check,” said Winslow, “and drew the gold; and our house was saved. And where, at the end of the year,” he added, “do you suppose 1 found my note “In possession,” he said, with stream ing eyes, “of my little orphaned grand daughter Oh. hearts like that man's are what bring earth and heaven nearer together I” Dr. Dio Lewis condemns the free use of tomatoes, as causing bleeding of the gums, loosening of the teeth, anil irritation of the membrane lining the intestinal canal. Though every article of human consump tion has been in turn denounced, from beef, pork, and flour to coffee, tea and sugar, so that if one is to 1 relieve all the doctors, his only alternative is to he poisoned or starve, yet we think Dr. Lewis is right in regard to this pseudo fruit, the use. of which is increasing from year to year. Our observation iu oue or two cases, as well as reasoning from general princi ples, tend to confirm his testimony. It is certain that a well person does not need medicine, for the very fact that it is adapt ed to a diseased state of the system proves that it can’t be also adapted to the opposite, or healthy conditions, as in the latter ease it frequently creates the very symptoms, that it cures in the former, a fact which all schools of medicine now recognize to a greater or less extent. The tomato is em inently medicinal, it having, as is well understood, a specific action on the liver, as direct and almost as potent as mercury, the analagous action of the two articles being indicated also by the secondary ef fect on the gum and teeth. But as the temperament and dietetic habits of Amer cans predispose them to biliousness in the warm season, a moderate use of tomatoes —Dr. Lewis says a spoonful at a meal— may not only prove innocuous but ex tremely beneficial, while making a princi pal dish of them, as is often the custom, from their healthfulness having been so much insisted on, should be discouraged.

A quiet movement seems to be making for the removal of General Andrews from the United States niarshainhip at Boston.

The Com- i inissiener says the law allows manufacturers “ell only in original packages, hut retail* ers may sell In quantities K-ss than original pa' iges, and therefore it would be no viola ting. ol the law provided there was evidence that the box or caddy was sawed from a stamped package. Kor the Journal. THE AVRORA BOREALIS. Speculation has been rife for many years and much inquiry has been had ns to whnt causes the Aurora Borealis, and yet the prob lem is as tar from being solved as ever. Vi c do not pretend to have solved it. but we have recently discovered a phenomenon which goes far to illustrate the principle and prove to some extent the power of reflection. We saw a few days since a beautiful display of what appeared to he dissolving vifW* and other ap pearances of light and shade flashing to and fro upon the wall of the room where we were then sitting. For a few moments we were nt a loss to know the cause, but soon discovered a vessel of water upon the stove reflected upon 1 hv the sun through a window near hr. We arose from our seat and passed near the stove, when we found the jar occasioned by it gave motion to the water, thus making a still more brilliant display. Now if this principle be cor rect, why may we not infer that the reflection of the sun upon the open polar sea, or some i.f its surroundings, may reflect upon the ennopv above and thus produce that grand dis play of light and shade which we often see over the north pole or in that direction. li is Well known that after sunset with us the rev olution of tlve cjjrth puts the sun in favorable position to accomplish all we claim in this matter. It is first northwest, north, and then north east, and so on until it appears again east in the morning. And as this peculiar ap pearance is only seen by us in the night, and then only when the atmosphere is clear, it goes far to show that this brilliancy of appear mice in the heavens is caused by the reflection of the sun upon water ill that part of the hem isphere ovfr which this beautiful phenomenon is so often seen. Sometimes brilliant streaks of light are seen to pass to almost the zenith, and then down again, and then up and down in quick succession for many times. rihis is probably caused by the action of the wind upon the water as w as the case with the jar ring of the water upon the stove. And here conjecture may step in and ask if such a course of reasoning is correct, what causes the mackerel sky, the milky way. and the broad belt which we sometimes see reach ing all the way through the zenith front hori zon to horizon. We answer the belt if seen at all is always seen just before sunrise or just after sunset, and we ace•. nt for it on tliis hypothesis, that the direct rays of the sun force themselves up through the atmosphere from east to west, as the case may be, to the opposite horizon, and the licit is wider or nar rower owing to the flexibility or inflexibility of the atmosphere, and when the atmosphere is very flexible we do not see it all: .it is only morning and evening twilight. The milky way and mackerel sky are seen when the sun is up and when it is broad day light with us. and consequently must be vapor formed into thin clouds reflected upon by the sun. An Old Citizen. XKIV l'V.BLIVATIOSS. The third and concluding volume of Draper's History of the Civil War in Ameri ca is published by Harper Brothers. The events considered in this volume occurred be tween the proclamation of emancipation to the slaves and the end of the war, ranging in chronological order from the 1st of January 1863 to the close of the spring in 18C5. They may be classified as follows The Conquest of the Central Region of the Confederacy The contest in the Atlantic region The pressure on tlie Atlantic, Gulf, and Mississippi ports ot the Confederacy; Operations preliminary to. or in connection witli the final campaigns; Piercing of the Cotton States by .the Army of tlie West; Forcing of the Confederate Anny of Northern Virginia into the fortifications of Richmond by the Army of the Kaeven and a half miles in length, connects Carthage, X. V., with Har risville. Another, two miles in length, con nect# the Clifton iron mines. Canada, to the O-wegetchie railway. Both are found to an swer well in the place of iron railways. The rails of these lines are made of maple, and are fourteen foot long by four inches wide an 1 six inches deep. The ties or sleepers are notched a depth of four inches to receive the rails, and are secured by wedge# of maple plank four inches wide, and twelve inches long. The switches are made in the usual way. The engines used weigh twenty tons, and will take loads of sixty to eighty tons when the rails and ties are tirmly strengthened ami secured. The wheels of the rolling stock have rims a little wider than those of the or dinary railway wheels, and the flanges are slightly beveled to prevent them from cutting the rails. The speed ordinarily attained is from eight to twelve miles per hour. It is said that no truck lias been oil the line since the Clifton road went into operation. The total cost of a wooden railway complete, in cluding rolling stock, is not over #•’>.tKR) per mile. It is little liable to get out of repair. and w ill last for many years—usually till the traffic is sufficient to warrant the replacing of, the wooden rails with iron ones. Domestic Xctos. The house of Gilman Thurston, in Falmouth, was destroyed by tire between the hours of nine and ten on Thursday night, together with its contents, furniture, provisions and clothing of the family.

Our Court reporter on Saturday made an important mistake about the disposition of the Sidney suit vs. Mr. Karwcll. The Judge did not order a nonsuit pro forma, but in fact. The Plaintiffs put in an affidavit of wlial th-y expected to prove, and for the sake of pro ceeding with the trial, the defendlht admitted all they proposed to prove. On examination of tins affidavit, the Judge ruled that the ac tion could not be maintained and ordered a nonsuit. From this, the plaintiff town filed exceptions. Sirs.

The Vice President laid before the Senate the order of arrangements to he observed in the memorial services in honor of the late Maj. Gen. Geo. II. Thomas, which have I ci n agreed upon I y the presiding offi cers of both houses. It provides fora meeting of Senators and Kepie'cntatives in the Hall of the House, at 10 o'clock Tuesday evening, and the appointment of a joint committee of mx Senators and seven iiepn sentatives to at tend the funeral. The Vice-President announced that Sena tors Wilson. Cameron. Trumbull, Thayer, Warm-rand (asserly had been appointed to represent tho .Senate at the obsequies of Gen. i humus. Mr. Sherman then proceeded to reply to his colleague, hut without conclud ing his remarks, gave way for an executive session, after which the Senate adjourned. House. Several hills aril resolutions were introduced and referred. A hill was passed by a vote of 111 to 40. fixing the time for the election of representa tives and delegates to Congress, in all the states and tenitories, on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November 1672, and every second year thereafter. The Georgia bill was then taken up. Mr. Stewart moved to strike out Mr. Bingham's amendment. Mr. Wilson offered an amendment, author izing the continuation of the legislature for two years from its re-organization in Jan. last, provided that the clause of the state con stitution on the subject shall never he exor cised to extend any official term beyond the i regular constitutional period; and that the legislature consent to the condition before it shall take effect. Mr. Wilh-y opposed the bill. Mr. Banks of Mass., moved to suspend the rulis so as to put on its passage the Senate resolution, lor the appointment of an exam iner of claims for the state department; and for additional clerks. Mr. Dawes of Mass., objected to this first step to increase the expenditures and create n* w officers, and the rules were not sus pended. llesoiutions were adopted directing the Secretary of the Navy to order an inquiry into the circumstances of the Bombay and Oneida commission, and the conduct of ('apt. Byre, with a icw of ascertaining the respon sibility of the disaster, and report the same to Congress. .a resolution was nuoptea directing tlie Post Office Committee to consider the ex pediency of a free letter delivery in cities of 20.000 inhabitants, and state capitals of 10. (XK) inhabitants, declaring that in the present financial condition of the country, no new enterprises of river and harbor improvrnents at the public expense shall be authorized. Mr. Schenck of Ohio ro>e to move that the House go into a Committee of the Whole on the tariff bill, but gave way for Mr. Porter of Virginia, to oiler a resolution reciting the condition of affairs in Virginia and the* city ot liichmond. and instructing the Ktcon struction Committee to inquire into tin* facts, and rt port what steps were necessary to put down tlie rebellion and maintain the federal authority in Virginia. Mr. Brooks ol N. Y. objected and called for the yeas and nays on motion to adjourn, upon which Mr. Sehenck requested Mr. Porter to withdraw his resolution, which lie did. The Speaker appointed Messrs. Logan of Illinois. Garfield of Ohio, Banks of Mass., Slocum of N. Y., Washburne of Wisconsin, Kandall ol p. mi., and Strokes of Tennessee, ns the committee to attend the funeral of Gen. Thomas. The consideration of the tariff bill was then resumed in Committee of the Whole, and an amendment was adapted, fixing the duty on muM uvado and all sugars below No. 12 dutch standard at 2 cents per pound. The debate was continued on a motion of Mr. Allison of Iowa, to reduce the duty on clarified sugars from 3 to 2 1-2 cents per pound, but without deciding the question, the committee rose an l the House adjourned.

FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, April 4. Reduction of Army Expenditures. The Senate Committee on Military affairs this morning considered Mr. Wilson’s bill for the reduction of the army expenditures, and will probably report it as a substitute for the House bill of the same title. It is claimed that Mr. Wilson’s bill provides for tile saving of expenditures, while Mr. Logan's would in crease the expenditures for army purposes three millions. Proposed Amendment to the Constitu tion of the United States. Mr. Julian of Indiana, presented a joint resolution to-day to amend the Constitution of the l niteil States by adding to Article lfi, section 1st. “tlie right of cit'Zens of tlie V.

jarb Jtfmtfhf fonnt;tl ALSIKE CLOVER. A dosen years ago or thereabouts, Secre tary Goodale, learning of the success of this clover in Northern Europe, obtained several pounds of seed, at a round price from Scotland, and distributed it among the members of the Board of Agriculture and other farmers, in order that it might have a fair trial in all parts of the State. Very little was heard about it from any' quarter for several years, and it had al most passed out of mind, when its merits began to be recognized by a few observ ing farmers. Since then it has been steadily gaining friends. In January, 1HC*. Calvin Chamberlain, Esq., of Foxeroft, presented the following report to the State Board of Agriculture Al'ike clover is a species that reached this country ten years ago, or more. Its name is obtained Irom the parish of Alsike iD Upland, (Sweden.) It is found in a wild state through much of Sweden, also in Norway and Finland. In the present century it has been introduced into culti vation through those northern countries, and is now known as Swedish clover in England, Scotland, Denmark, Germany and France, it was cany uramuuiea different parts of this State by the Secre tary of tliis Board but I fear it fell generally into the hands of careless men. t'tiless it has recently spread in Aroostook beyond the neighborhood where it was highly prized some years ago, it has not vet received much attention anywhere in Alaine. The few seeds I received, came after my spring seeding, and in looking for a place to plant them. T saw a rough border by the fence, where 1 had plowed a recently cleared field—having set the fence nearer the wood than I could work the plow. On thi- spot 1 scattered the seed, and worked the ground a little with a hoe. The clover still holds possession of the spot; and as the field has now been mown Several years, it has sometimes been cut in with the hay, in other years cut for seed. As an experiment, while seeding a field to grass, 1 sowed one square rod in the middle with Alsike clover. 1 cut it for seed three years in succession, each crop being a luxuriant one. The grasses then worked in. but the Alsike was still there at the last haying—which was I think, the sixth crop. Last season I had half an acre of clean Alsike, that attracted much attention from farmers, many estimating it at one and a half tons of hay on the half-acre. 1 cut it for seed, and think it would rather exceed than fiji below the estimate. This was on land that never had received any manure, except with the barley crop in 1866, when the clover was sown, and on the clover in 1867, one hundred lbs. of Supcr-l’hos phate was sown each year. Having had an opportunity of observing this clover in a small way and by noting it carefully as hay and as forage for soiling, I can only conclude that it is a plant admirably adapted to this .state, and one possessing so many excellent qualities as to render it worthy of special effort to extend its culti vation. If anything I should say here, encourages a careless farmer to try the Alsike clover alone fora bay crop, 1 would have him understand that lie had better let it alone, unless he can give his Held so smooth a surface that his scythe or ma chine can cut low as the lover, if of any great weight, i- sure to lodge pretty flat. Compared with the two other clovers before known to us, the Alsike differs so as to disclose to me the following char acteristics 1st, It is hardy, more permanent than the red clover, and retains its hold many years. 2d. It branches very much—throws out lnai^’ stalks from one root; thus affording a good crop with thin seeding. Indeed, I think it should he sown thin, that the roots may have room, so as to obtain strength to strike deep into the subsoil. it nears cropping ny cauie wen: thus proving its adaptability to pasturage. 4th, It continues longer in condition to lie cut as hay than any other forage plant that I know. It throws out a great num ber of heads from each stalk, coming into bloom successively for a month or more. Whe'n the most of the hi ads are ripe, the stalks and leaves are still in condition to make excellent hay. My seed crop has always made good fodder after the seed has been threshed off. otb, I believe it to be the best honey plant in the world. Much attention has been given to the habits of the honey-bee in regard to its choice of flowers, and to quantity and quality of the honey stored in different portions of the season. We often see a new plant recommended for Cultivation specially for the bees. 1 think nee-keepers now generally agree that the surplus honey is all. or very nearly all stored during the bloom of the white clover. From all other flowers including buckwheat, but little more is gathered than is consumed daily. I have for several years had on my place a plat of Alsike clover beside one of the white. I have often called attention of people to the working bees on the plats; and it was al ways easy to see that the Alsike had the greater attraction. Kqual areas usually show twice th«- number of bees on the Alsike. The blooming season is longer on the Alsike. The heads are also more numerous on that variety. A field of Al sike (lover is the best patronized bee pasture I have ever seen—exceeding that of an orchard in full bloom, I am sure that, in a neighborhood of Alsike clover fields, bee-keepers would not be searching for other plants for their use.” CUSHNOC HOUSE.

Cure of Bladder and Kidney Affection of LONG STANDING—STONE PASSED AND TO BE SEEN. Westport, Conn, Sept. 5, 1809. II. T. Hei.mbold, Esq. Dear Sir: I commenced taking your “Extract of Buchu” about two weeks since for an affection of the bladder and kidneys. I have suffered by spells very much for a few days past. But yesterday re lief came through the effect of vour “Buchu.” A stone passed mv bladder about the size of a large, pen. and 1 now feel perfectly well and entirely free from the pain that I have suffered with “so hard I attribute my cure tegan taking it. and before 1 bad taken the first bottle 1 felt bad; but 1 lini.-bed it and got another. By the time 1 took half of the second I still got worse (apparently). When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney was falling from its place, and 1 felt really bad. ’I felt so, before I had finished the second, that 1 had made up my mind it was of no use trying any more—-and all this time the “Buchu” was doing its work, but 1 did not know it; so 1 gave it up aud went to Hartford on Saturday to see one of the best doctors in the citv. He said it was the neck of the bladder, and 1 should have to undergo an operation. He gave me med icine, and 1 went home quite downhearted. On Sunday 1 was unable to go to church. I had not taken any of his medicine, but on my return contin ued using the “Um hu,” and in the afternoon 1 had a desire to make w ater, but could not. sVbout one hour after this 1 tried again, with the same result; but the next time 1 took the vessel it was the same as turning a faucet and stopping i off again It w as so for three times, and the third time there w as something came through the Passage and struck against the side of the vessel. 1 examined it. and it is the ugliest stone or gravel von ever «aw. cov ered over with little peices which collided together. It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is us hard as a flint. Bo you see the “Buchu” was doing it* work although I was feeling so badly. I procured an other bottle thinking their might' lie some more be hind, but since that has passed, which is eight weeks ago last Sunday. I have been as well as ever I w as in my life. I have the stone securely wrapped and those w ho have seen it in this place are sur prised. I cannot tell you all. but tills is a true story of my case, ami you mix? welcome to make such use of my name as you think proper. I am pretty well known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The ad vertisement saved me. Why not publish more? The Springfield Republican is a w ide-spread paper. If any one wishes to see this wonder, they can do so. f could wriU? all day, but think 1 have said enough this time, so I remain your ever well w isher, EDWARD L. HOWARD, Paper Maker, Buruside.

IlFTAfnoEn— Dfat: Sir: In regard to the question asked me as to mv opinion about lln ehu. I would say I have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or know n to be used, in the various diseases where such medicate agent would be indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it lias ac quired, in my judgment, is w arranted by the tacts I have seen and used, ns before stated, every form of ltuehu—the powdered leaves, tincture, lhiid ex tract.—and 1 am not congmizant of any preparation of that plant at all equal to yours. iVelve years’ experience ought, 1 think, to give me the right to judge of its merits; and. without prejudice or par tiality. 1 give yours precedence over all others. I value your ltuehu for its effects on patients. I have cured w ith it. and seen cured with it. more diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever seen cured w ith any other ltuehu or any other proprietary compound of w hatever name. Respect fully yours, *tc., GEO. If. KEYSER, M. D., August 11, li«'*5. 140 Wuod-st., Pittsburg, Perm. A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS’ STANDING, j PHii. VDKLi inA, Penn., June *2'), 1807. fl.T. Helmuoi.p, Druggist—Peak Sir: 1 have been a sufferer tor upwards of twenty years with! gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which j time I have used various" medicinal preparations.; and been under the treatment of the most eminent phvdeians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family physical! in regard to using your Kqtrm tjBuchu. 1 did this because I had used a1! kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and >ome quite injurious; in fact, l despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buenii. cuhehs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice. after an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist. I concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago. at which time 1 vn> con fined to my room. From the first bottle 1 was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see i! it would effect a perfect cure, knowing that it wonld be of l greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected. 1 after using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as 1 ever did. Your Iluchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste i and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system. I do not mein to be w ithout it w henever occasion may require its use on such affections. M.
