How to Dross—The latest Style* la Hat*, Salts, Shoes, ete. To commence at the most important part of the subject on hand THE RULING PRICES, it may be stilted that on the average there has been a perceptible fall in rates. The mechanical part of the tailor’s establish ment remains unchanged, as the journey men still ask the old prices for their work. But in the cost of the goods there is a re duction which is regulated by the fluctua tions in gold, so that inanufacuturers can and do afford a reduction of ten per cent, on last Spring's prices. On the principle that small favors are thankfully received, customers ought to lie profoundly grateful for even this slight reduction. In the event of gold taking another tumble, the journeymen will reduce their rates and clothing approximate still nearer the ante war prices. The public ought therefore to pray for one more Black Friday in Wall street,—gloom there creates sunshine in thousands of homes. Leaving prices, the next thing in order is r THE PRESFNT STYLE OF GOODS. This season the general tendency is to I use a finer grade of goods than heretofore. The persistent efforts which have been j made to introduce slightly marked or i “nobby” styles of goods nave proved fail ures to a large degree, the fine trade gain ing steadily upon it for the last two years. The present style of business and dress coats, in style of goods, cut and made, are not found among the ready-made stock of the “buzzard” shops, although they may rank as first-class. The latest style of goods for the business coat or dress treek is English diagonals in shades of black, blue, brown, green, olive and dahlia. Blue has been a favorite for one season, and noyv occupies a secondary place, the dahlia and olive taking the lead in Paris as well as on this side. Several shades of Kersey Meltons and fine English and French cloths are cut and made in a style that is hard to imitate by speculative manufacturers. The leading novelty in fancy goods, however, will be nndecided diagonal stripes, with, perhaps a few sub dued plaids. For full suits which are much worn, stripes are the newest and most in favor. The market for plaids, less showy than last season, is now fully stocked j and some considerable favor is shown them by customers. IN OVERGARMENTS the single sack is the general style for the season, cut short. The surtout, which was in favor during the Winter season, is now discarded as unsuitable for Summer wear. For oversaeks, dark or light brown, or tan colored Kersey, or tan brown diagonals are the rage. The Kersey, which is a rough unfinished style of goods, appears to take the place of the Meltons, so long a favorite for this style of overgarments. The over sack now in almost universal favor, is cut single-breasted with a fly front to button close up, or be thrown back, as may be desired. Under-sacks are so little worn as to need no mention. COATS. In the line of under coats, the business frock or English walking coat are in gen eral style—made to close by one button, or button all the way up if desired. Although the single-breasted walking coat is in use, 1 the double-breasted frock is the favorite, j It is cut long in the waist, short in the skirt, low in the neck, with a broad square shoulder, a narrow collar, medium sized j sleeves, and skirt slightly full, i The dress, or swallow-tailed coat is made very similar in the body to the frock, and is also short in the skirt. The most recent innovation on the sedate black is the bine dress coat with the immemorial brass but tons, which, like comets, appear and dis appear at intervals of fifteen or twenty years. i Single-breasted frocks or morning coats j are cut very similar to the double-breasted, except the front which rolls quite low, and j when made of rough business goods are made with flap-covered pockets on the I hips. An evening coat of blue black silk vel vet, cut single-breasted, with a low roll, and only one button in front, finds some favor. The waist is of medium length, skirt half long, collar one inch in wdth, edges corded. This is for those who do j the “nobby" in dress. Sad colored or brown velvets are out of date. Dress suits I entirely of blue, are iu vogue, but they are j exceptional. Straw-colored, blue and leather-colored kids are in use, the former being the favorite. VESTS. i In vests the prevailing style is both sin gle and double breasted, with the first 1 mentioned in the most general use, not withstanding the fact that the latter is re jgardod a- the most fashionable. The style is to roll them half low on the chest, but not as low as last season. The dress vest remains with only three buttons, but lor business or half (Ires-, more especially the former, they are closed a trifle higher on the chest. The single-breasted are out good length, without collar. White duck vests, cut single-breasted with rolling col lar, are fashionable. Three and five but ton vests are the style. PANTALOONS. The prevailing style of pantaloons is what is called the half-tight style, which it is to be hoped the wearer will not personal lv adopt—the plain leg, tapering from thigh to instep, ending in a half spring I bottom. They are universally cut short in the waist, with seat pockets, and cut to It j close and snug in the body. The most fashionable material is the diagonal stripe, 1 although the English side stripe is consid erably worn. White duck will be much worn iu ihe wannest weather. In Paris now pants are cut large and loose. SHIRTS, COLLARS, CRAVATS. The plain white shirt is now in gener al use for Summer wear; striped or figur ed shirts are not worn this season. The great change is in their fitting the neck i lower than heretofore.

Turn-down collars arc the most worn thev are made to dress the neck low, which is ii'i keeping with the present style of coat, the latter setting two inches lower outlie neck than heretofore. Cravats and bows are now out of date, neckerchiefs taking the lead. They fall loosely and widely upon the shirt front, giving on airy neglige effect to the dress of the wearer, .illtie, orange, dahlia, and spotted white are the prevailing colors. hats, boots, AND SHOES. The present stvlc of hats are the time-1 honored silk with'a wide rolling rim and a crown slightly bell shape. The principal change is in extending the rim a trifle in width over the Ttdt of In 4 season. Fori Spring business hat the round lop style prevails. Tpe heat of Summer will of course bring the light plush, slate colored, eassiinere, and the perennial Panama. Thitt In i now encased in infroes. boots being worn but little. They arc made wide on the bottom with ample soles well extending from uiidwthc uppers and with round toe*. Some attempts have been made to introduce the square toe, but without success. The material mostly in use is calf-kin. Patent leather is but little need except for evening dress. It is likely that the. coming change in pantaloons, cut ting them loose in the leg, w ill re-intro duce boots to general Use. Oxford ties, with fancy socks, are in favor when worn with white duck pants. JUVENILES. Youths' garments are varied. For a voting hid a single-breasted vest, closing well up on the chest, are now much worn. The plain blouse, cutaway jrckat, Garabeldi pants, are in favor. Ami now the reader is prepared to call rtpnii his tailor, order his suit and subse quently appear arrayed in the height of; the fashion tor 1870. ]Ba|£ Jifiutfljfr Journal AUGUSTA, 8 \TURDAY MORNING, May 21. 1S70.

Mayfield. 1 Carratiink, 1 Monmouth, I l nlty plantation, 1 C R Mt»My lark,’' one of tlie young rutfians said. A .iiniiur wanton spirit prevailed yesterday among the ••repeater*,” who voted early and often, not from any necessity tlmro wa» tor fraudulent votis in most of the districts^ but apparently “for the fun of the tiling." It cannot be denied that these scoundrels dis played traces of humor. For instance, i Police Justice Hogan, one of the “koung Democrats," it is said saw a fellow voting on his name. He remonstrated, and demanded the repeater's arrest, but was laughed at, and lost his vote. Between eleven andtwelve hundred negroes registered as voters; at least five hundred of them discovered, when they got to the polls, that repeaters had al ready voted on their names; and some of ’.lie luckless blacks were gravely arrested as re jHiiters for attempting to vote on their own names. There was a regular and will-established scale of prices for repeating, varying with the urgency of the case, from fifteen dollars to titty cents for a fraudulent vote: and one leader i f a gang of ruffians paid off his men j openly, in sight of the orderly citizens gath ind around a polling booth. So universal and unconcealed was the fraudulent voting 1 that a negro, arrested for this offence, naively pleaded that under the Fifteenth Amendment he had a right to do all that white men did. and certainly he saw white men freely and openly “repeating.” The democratic Ring which rules and robs New York, and which would like to rule and rob the Union, i- dead to shame; it docs not 1 fear detection it shields its agents from ar- j rest and punishment; and when honest men complain, the Tammany leaders nowadays point to the almost unanimous support their chief measures obtained from the Republicans i in the recent legislature. j All this is disgusting and saddening to hon est men; we may he thankful tor the relief: given by the spice of humor which the extrav agant and reckless perjury and fraud some times bring out. A few years ago New k ork boasted ot one honest and faithful Council- i 'man; he was constant at bis post, and lie sol emnly and vainly objected to every job. He died; the Council, which bad laughed down I his futile but honest protests, resolved to give 1 ,iin a puplic funeral and monument—and j took care that the hiring of carriages and the purchase of the monument should be two atrocious jobs. There is a story of a New York burglar, with political influence, who was unluckily captured by an umliseriniinating policeman, ju-t as he was breaking into a house. He was tried, and acquitted on the ground that tie had not broken in and, the story goes, demanded of the astonished police that they should re turn him the tools of his trade—the “jimmy” namely, the wrench, and bunch of skeleton keys which they had taken from him. In the same spirit, we suppose, the Tammany lcad t ers resist the arrest of “repeaters”—they are the tools wherewith they make their liv ing. THE LA CROSSE FIRE. The fire which occurred at La Crosse, on the 1st inst., was the most destructive that 1 ever happened in Wisconsin. It appears that the packet steamer War Eagle was taking in freight and awaiting the arrival of the midnight train from Milwaukee, j Among the freight were some barrels of coal oil, one of which was found to lie leaking. The cooper w:is directed to re pair it, and placing a lamp on the head of the barrel, he went to work. While driv ing the hoops one of them burst, breaking the lamp and displacing the head of the I barrel. The whole mass of inflammable material was in a blaze in a moment. The I barrel was immediately rolled off the lar board side, blit a barge which lay alongside prevented it failing into the water, and the j fiery .demon was loose. There was not time to save anything but life. The flames and the blinding smoke enveloped the boat in a moment. Those of the passengers who were still dressed and near the office escaped by the front gangway. Others in ihe rear of the cabin were awakened by the officers, and under the direction of Capt. Cushing, escaped by the rear scuttle, and were taken ashore by boats, w hich picked up many who jumped overboard. Numbers were compelled to jump into the water to save their lives. As it w1ft, foul persons perished, three being burnt to dcathon theimat, and one drowned. The name of but one is known, Mr. Ulrich of La Crosse. The lire spread rapidly to the extensive freight sheds' oil the docks, and thence to the depot and adjoining building, all of which, together with the large elevator and nine ears, were destroyed in an hour’s time. The heat was terrible, and the flames lit up the surrounding country for miles with all the brilliancy of day. Noth ing about the depot was saved, excepting the two sales containing books and money, i ABCS 8 or SAILQRS. The Newburyport Herald says that “probably few people who have notseen with their own eyes or been in a way of obtaining information on the subject, are aware to what extent common sailors may be aud often are abused with impunity. They understand that poor Jack is looked upon as a legitimate object of plunder by all sorts of sharks, that he has to work hard and fare hard that he now and then catches a mpes-end. to quicken his mo tions; has his sensibilities touched by an occasional damning, and on the whole lias rather a rough, and yet jolly time general ly. Hut they do not understand that many ships are Boating hells over whose fore castles Dante could have plainly read, “All hope abandon whoso enters here," w here from the first to the last day of the voyage such tortures of body and soul are i endured that the victims sometimes prefer to risk all the lu ll there may be beyond, by deliberately committing suicide. “Man ov erboard" means sometimes more than is over known, even if he is not knocked overboard by a passionate and brutal of ficer. On such vessels it is a constant oc currence for men to be knocked down with marline-spike;, jumped on, kicked in the face and wangled out of all semblance of humanity for the most trivial offences, amj even for unavoidable mistakes, errors of judgment or inability from sickness to perform their duties. Such vessels seldom i come into port without their regular quota ol gashed heads, broken jaws, dislocated i ribs and constitutions impaired or ruined j by coulineniyut and starvation in irons. It is but a few weeks since that a master of a ship in New York was convicted of killing One of his men—it was called man slaughter, not murder—and it was settled by a fine less than his wages tor the voyage. This was the third man that this same cap tain is know n to have killed, one of whom he shot with a revolver from the yard-ami, our informant, who was one of his mates, •wing a witness to the act. To be sore no claimed it was his intention only to fright en him with the whiz of the ball, but at any rate, no notice was taken of the mat ter. This same brute .shipped a crew in Liverpool, not a man of whom lie had ev 1 er seen, and so of course could have had nothing against them, and when the ship ping master sent them aboard, he stood at Ihe gangway and dealt each one, as he passed, a severe blow, knocking several of them down, “just to show them," as he said, “that he was captain on board that ship, and to give them a taste of his dis cipline." We trust there are not many such fiends at large, but the simple tact that this man has been suffered to com mand a ship twenty-five years shows that i something is radically wrong. The Bangor Whig and Courier says it has seen “a letter from Governor Chamber lain, in which he states most emphatically, that he will not lie the candidate for any party at the approaching Gubernatorial election." The Whig also says “Govern or Chamberlain, during his administration, has conferred lasting honor upon the State of Maine, and will retire from the chair with the respect and esteem of the entire j State." I The Univcrsalist Centennary Meeting in this city was a grand success in all re spects. The attendance from outside lo calities was not large, but the members of the parish in Augusta made up by their spirit and contributions all deficiencies. The preaching and remarks were able and pertinent, and the influence of the meet ing cannot fail to be far reaching and ex cellent. If warm weather continues at the same rate it has commenced there will be a loud call for ice in sweltering cities, and labor ers will be glad to seek shady places in the heat of the day. So forward and promis ing a season for vegetation has not been known tor some time. GENERAL NElTS. At a recent sale of old coins, in New York, a one cent piece of 1800 brought $33. Corsets are said to be economical because they keep women from “running to waist." Pius the Ninth has occupied the Pontifical seat two years longer than any predecessor. A Western mother is uncertain whether she will call her baby Mount Vesuvius or l'iota. “Both such pretty names.” Weston proposes to try to walk 100 miles in 23 hours, on the 23th inst., at a skating rink in New York. President Grant is forty-eight. Vice Presi dent Colfax forty-seven, Senator Wilson fifty eight, Senator Morton forty-seven, and Sen ator Sumner fifty-nine. Henry Ward Beecher says: “Never sgold the children, but soberly and quietly reprove." The latest novelties iu the way of engage I ment rings are sapphires set with diamonds, j one large sapphire in the centre, and a large diamond on either side. Senator Ames, of Mississippi, is stopping in Lowell at the house of General Butler. His marriage with Miss Blanche Butler will take place probably in July. Senator Corbett predicts that the Bepubli eans will carry Oregon this year, electing Judge J. G. Wilson to Congress, and General Joel Palmer to be governor. Brownlow has to be brought to the Senate by attendants, his voice is gone and he votes by proxy, sending his vote to the Secretary by a page. Yet he is in his seat every day. “Why do you call me birdie, my dcar?”in quired a wife of her husband. “Because," was the answer, “you are always associated in my mind with a hill.” B. P. Shillaber, well known as “Mrs. Par tington" in the newspapers, will favor the ed- j itors and publishers of Maine and New Hamp shire with a poem at their convention, to be held at Bye Beach, near Portsmouth. Amanda Craig and Elisha Sprague will soon have another trial, in Chicago, of the question whether he promised to marry her, and whether that promise was worth one hundred thousand dollars. Edwin Burlingame, son of the late Minis ter, is going to look after the San Francisco property purchased by his father three or four years ago. which Californians now declare to be worth $800,000. Aunt Susan says: “Suppose all the men; were in one country and all the women in another, with a big river between them. I Good gracious! what lots of poor women I would be drowned!” Marshall P. Wilder of Massachusetts, pres ident of the National Fruit Growers' Associa tion, who is good pomological authority, pre dicts a generous fruit crop this year. Chinamen are being shipped over the States from San Francisco. Minnesota and Wis consin have applied for a thousand each. New Orleans receives them m regular instal ments. A few weeks ago a boot which hung outside tiie cellar-door of a Berlin shoemaker was stolen. In the afternoon was found a note on the doorstep written as follows: “If you do not hang out the other boot, so that we tan l steal it also, we will seek it in the night or else break all your windows.” “Manitoba," tlie name selected fur the re bellious Northwest Territory, which is prov ing such an elephant in the hands of the Do minion, is said to signify “the god whu speaks." It is also the name of a lake which forms the western boundary of the new province. A St. Louis reporter is terrifically “graphic” in describing the recent collision of railroad trains in Missouri. Hear him “The two en gines rushed at each other like malign and enraged monsters, grappled witli a tremen dous crash, reared from the track in a mortal wrestle, and fell into helpless and disjointed fragments on the ground.” In excavating lor a new building in Mon treal the laborers turned up a number of hu man skulls and other bones. The pick axe in some cases perforated holes through large, hard, brown-looking skulls. The site was formerly a burying-ground. Perhaps, in other gcnerr.tions, cheerfully observes the Montreal Gazette, the pick-axe of the laborer may make holes in our skulls in the same way. A number of prominent persons in New York are circulating a petition praying Gov ernor Hoffman, in view of the fact that Mc Farland was proved to he subject to periodical fits of insanity, to cause the said McFarland to he at once placed in some asylum, thereby insuring the safety of the citizens of New York. The proportion of males over females in tlie different countries of the world has recent ly been the subject of investigation. In the United States, in 1850, in a total white popu lation of 19.553,008, there was an excess of 499.736. In I860, in a total white population of 27,003.314. there was an excess of 735.544 males. In a free colored population of 487, 996 there was an excess o% 19,996 females; and in a slave population of 3,953,760 an ex cess of 11,490 males. In Great Britain there is an excess oljf 700,000 females over males and in France, Austria, Spain. Italy and Prussia, with n population of 138,(kX).0(H). there are 1,074,0(H) more females than males. Terrible as were some of the wounds of the rebellion, we doubt if a soldier on either tide was as b:idiy crippled as one of the War of 1812. He is described as ‘*the worst cut-up mail the country over saw.” lie was wound ed in the fight known as Perry’s Victory. During the engagement he was stooping down to pick up something, when a chain-shot took off both his arms and legs—the former below the elbows, the latter below the knees. He afterwards adapted himself thoroughly to his shorn condition: would run and dance on his knees with great agility, and taking a stick in his dhow joint, would fence and defend him self, parry and thrust, advance and retreat, with great alacrity. Spared by the chain shot, he at last met his fate in an encounter with that slayer of millions. John Barleycorn. Tlie crops in Indiana arc decidedly prom ising. Ttie Chicago Tribune says that it is pleased to state that the most cheering ac counts of growing crops, botli of grain and fruit, comes in. A careful review of the state papers show that more than an average breadth of wheat has been sown this season, and that thus far the prospects are most excelient for a heavy yield. In large and small fruits, despite the fear of the late frosts, there seems to be no possibility of j failure. Paris, Bourbon county. Kentucky, has a population of 5000. Thu county is the centre i of the whisky distillery interests; the “'Mecca" i of all topers. Whiskey in its native purity, the veritable "Old Bourbon.” is manufactured i and this interest has swallowed up nearly all i others. The flood Templars here have a lodge of over 300 members, and are laboring bard to counteract the influence of the whisky. Domestic XrUis.

There is on the stocks, at the shipyard of 1 William Ilea rely Co., in Bueksport, as we learn from the Belfast Journal, a vessel of about 230 tons, to be rigged into a three masted schooner, owned by Ambrose White and others, to be commanded by Capt. Ephraim Hopkins. This company have launched,! since 1807, the following vessels, all from the same model. Schooner Webster Barnard, 1201 tons: Fred Spoffbrd. 207 tons; Alice B. Gardner. 211 tons: S. P. Hall. 221 tons. W. II. Ginn Co., have on the stocks at their i yard, a vessel of about 27C tons, designed for j a three masted schooner. She is building on j the firm's account, and will be launched next I fall. Mr. 1. E. Buck is about to put up a schooner of 175 tons, to be commanded by Capt. Huberts, who recently lost his vessel, the H. A. Colson on Bye Beach. The Marine Bailway of Fred. J. Parker in the same town, has been doing a very successful business this spring. There are two tracks, one for small and the other for large vessels. The large one is capable ot taking up a ship of fifteen j hundred tons burthen. Launched at Perry on the 15th inst., from the yard of Gilbert Frost, the schooner "II. E. Wellman" of about 11G tons burthen. The Eastport Sentinel says she is a fine looking vessel. Mr. Frost w ill commence work on another very soon. In the same yard Mr. Geo. Potter has a schooner nearly framed. Mr. J. B. Nutt is building a schooner of about 200 tons at Frost's Cove in the same town. Daniels, the Limcrock Bank burglar, con fined in Belfast jail is daily growing worse with consumption. His feet are swollen, and the indications are that he cannot live long. The wife of flight, one of the burglars, came from New York and visited him at the jail last week. Efforts have recently been made to procure a reduction of bail in his case, which have not been successful. The Belfast Journal says the depot of the Belfast Moo-ehead Lake Railroad at Brooks Village has been located on the land of Mr. Brown. At the Point in Belfast, near the end of the Railroad Bridge, and at the terminus of the road on the dock. Work will be be gun at once. The Portland Argus says the work of laying the rail on the Portland and Ogdensburg Rail j road was begun Thursday morning, leading j from the Presumscot from the course recently laid, connecting with the Portland Roches- ter Railroad at Cumberland Mills.

Just before the westward freight train on the Portsmouth, Saco Portland Railroad reached Kittery, Wednesday evening, a car loaded w ith hay caught fire. It was left at Kittery, and was entirely demolished. The Norriilfeewock bridge stock was dis posed of some time since. The Reporter says the plan presented by Mr. Waters, the Som erset R. R. engineer, has been accepted. His I estimates are $12,000. Houghton, Chase Co., of Skowhegan, sent out five hundred dozen bats and the Reporter says the firm is still on the bat with all its might.

A little boy living with Mr. Jessie Spauld ing of North Anson, as we learn from the Re porter, was severely if not fatally injured last Monday, by getting caught in a harrow while harrowing.* One leg was so badly crushed that amputation wus necessary.

Our Universalist friends have set a good example to ourothersocictles who arc in debt. A church debt is an incumbrance, viewed in any light, and not a blessing. Sometimes liber al giving becomes contagious, and a little en thusiasm may stimulate other societies to raise the burdens resting upon them. The Somerset Reporter says a boy about 10 years of age, son of Cyrus Wing ot Dead River, was drowned in Dead River on Sunday the loth inst. lie and another boy were cross ing the river in a boat, when the wind blew his hat oft', and in attempting to regain it he fell out of the boat and was drowned.

Sunday morning prayer meeting at 10 o’clock. An incblcnt occurred nt the Centennial meeting at the Winthrop street church on Thursday evening, which fully illustrates the contagious influence of giving— A little girl, a member of the Sabbath School, whose father has been one of the most generous and earnest of those engaged in the construction of the church, and who had just pledged Five Hundred Hollars to wards the liquidation of the debt, insisted that lie should withdraw from the Savings Hank Twenty-live Hollars of her own money, and give it in her name towards the payment of the debt. Where such a feeling as tliat pre vails, there will be no need of any of our parislies remaining long in debt. —-m t*SE Na h ue's Hair Restorative. —It Is the mrst —tntalne mailing injurious. —(.'tear as crystal. —No sediment filth.

The following particulars of the Coop Beat in Portugal, has been received here: The movement, which nas been for some time in preparation, was confined to the army, and its object was simply to compel a change in the ministry. The Duke of Saldana having great influence over the troops, secured i the support of a large majority of the garrison 1 of Lisbon. Yesterday morning he was ready for action, and moved against the Castle of St. George.- This strong fortification, after a desperate struggle, was earned. The Duke then marched at the head of a large body of troops to the Iloyal Palace. The Governor of the Palace had taken measures of defence, i and the Duke put troops and posted artillery in a position to oppose him, and an attack was ordered, and some shots were fired, but the soldiers on both sides evidently were not disposed to fight each other, and after desul tory firing they broke ranks and fraternized, j The Palace was left unguarded, and the soldiers, volunteers and some peasants who accompanied them, entered, displaying the popular flag, and shouting “Long live the King “Long live the army!" “Saldana “Down with the Kmperor!" Though greatly excited they committed no violence, and contented themselves with j inarching through the corridors and grounds, singing national songs and littering patriotic cites. m The Prime Minister Duke de Sou lest was dejected owing to the day lost, and tendered his resignation, which was accepted by the King. Saldahna wa^ then admitted to the au dience, and was directed by the King to form a new Cabinet, which he consented to under take. Seven men were killed and wounded I during the day. Though the cause of the I Duke la Saldaluia 1ms the sympathy of the citizens of Lisbon, Oporto, and other cities, the people took little or no part in the move ment. The Duke intended it to he a surprise and relied w holly on the troops for its suc cess. Great agitation prevails in the prov inces, where there is a strong party fn favor of the deposed ministry. A royal commission to draw up a report on the necessity for the character of scientific education, lias hern formed. It is composed of Duke Devonshire, Marquis I.ansdonrae, j and Messrs, Subbock, Shutllcworth, lioxley, Miller and Stokes. John Henry Parker, a publisher of London, 1 1 is dead.

They are good livers; about one aker to a goose is enuff, altho there is some folks who think that one goose tew about 175 akers is nearer rite. These two kalculations are so far apart that it is difficult tew tell now what will nhaTly win. But I don’t think if I hud a farm of 175 akers, awl paid for, that 1 would sell it for hall what it was tyorth, just becaus I didn't heve any goose upon it. Goose stay well; some of our best biogra phers say seventy years, and grow tuff tew 1 he last. They lay one egg at a time, about the size of a goose egg. in which the goslin lies hid. The goslin is the goose's babe. The-goose don’t suckle it’s young, but turns them out to pasture on somebody’s vacant lot. They seent to lack wisdom, but are considered sound on the goose. ‘fhej are good eating, but not good chawing; the reason of this remains a profound sekret tew this day. When a female goose iz at work hatch ing, she iz a hard bird to please she riles clear up,from the bottom in a minit, and will fight a yoke of oxen if they show her the least bit of sass. The goose is excellent for feathers, which she sheds every year by the baud-: f*T. They arc also amphibecusses, besides, several other kinds ol cusses. India Moonshine.—Mr. Coffin, in his recent boot, “Our New Way Round the World,” thus writes, of its effect on a man within the tropics. He is in India when j he says: "The moon is at its full, pour ing its rays front the zenith straight down upon us, with a power that is almost as unbearable as that of the sun at mid-day.; There is no heat in its rays, but they have great effect upon the brain. The blood rushes to the head, and there is a sense of fullness and pressure which, although not attended with pain, is ex ceedingly unpleasant. We find it neces- J sary to'keep our umbrellas spread at mid-night as well as at mid-day. It is dangerous to sleep in the moonlight in the tropics. In this country we can see new beauty in the words of the Psalmist, expressive of God’s care for those who love him “The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by ni£ht.” A Sen Era in Piano Fortes!

A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS' STANDING. Philadelphia, Penn., June 25, 1867. If. T. IlKi.ilbold, Druggie*—Dear sir I have been a suffferer for upwards of twenty years with i gravel, bladder and kidney affection*, during which i time I nave used various medicinal preparations, and been under tl»e treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing |}ut little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family physican in regard to using yonr Eqtract Buchu. I did this because I had used a’l kinds of adver tised remedies and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever Cuing well, and determined to use no remedies reafter unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu. cubebe and juniper berries, it occurred to me and mv phys ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice, alter 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 I vas confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like waiting to you a full statement of ray case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing that it wonld be ot greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now' for three months, ahd feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste i and odor, a nice tonic and Invigorator of the system, i I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its use on such affections. M. McCORMIC. Should any doubt Mr. McCormic’s statement, he refers to the following gentlemen Hon. Wm, BIGLER, ex*Governor of Pennsylvania. Hon. THOMAS B. FLORENCE, Philadelphia. Hon. J. C.
