EBO.NT WOOD. Ebony wood is extremely hard, and susceptible of a very fine polish. Its col or is black, red, or green. The black is most este med, and is imported principal ly from Madagascar and the (Isle of France, lied Ebony, so called, though its color is brown, striped with black, is less compact, and is also brought from Mada gascar. The green is softer than either of the other kinds, yields a line green tinc ture, which is employed in dyeing, and is brought from the West Indies. The best kind is jet black, and free from knots or reddish veins. Ebony is imitated by sub jecting tb>- pear-tree to a hot decoction of galls, and, when this_ is dry, applying black with a still' brush." It is used lor va rious mechanical and other purposes. A lady who lias made it a point to ex amine into the matter, writes that women shoppers will unmercifully snub a sales woman, will rudely contradict lie state ments as to the goods being examined, in fact, show themselves win Jly ignorant of the most ordinaiw rules of good breeding, and then complain of impertinence if a word is returned, of of inattention if the girl manifests her self-respect by remain ing silent. If waited on by a "salesman, their conduct, it is stated, is just the re verse. The nearest fixed star is Siritts, called the Dog-star, which is calculated to be 2, 200,000,000,000 miles from the earth, or 27,000 times further off than the sun is. A ray of light from Sirius, traveling as last a» a cannon-ball at its greatest speed, will take 523,211 years to reach the earth. Who can measutV the boundaries of crea tion "Are you colored?” a Providence police man asked of an inebriated man in the station house, whom he could not see very distinctly in the semi-darkness of the cell. “X-o-o-o,” drawled the drowsy and drun ken representative of the "Fifteenth Amendment,” “not colored—I was born so.” "Jimmy, my boy, take these eggs to the store, and if you can't get a qUHtcr bring them back.” The boy went as directed, and came back saying, "Father, it takes me to make a trade. They all wanted them at forty cents, but I screwed them down to tw entv-tive.” Madame de iStael once said: "If I were mistress of fifty languages I would think in the deep German, converse in the gay French, write in the copious English, sing in the majestic Spanish, deliver in the noble Greek, and make love in the soft Italian.” An experienced physician has discover ed in the course of along and varied prac tice, that every one wishes to go to heaven also, that most people are willing to take a great deal of very disagreeble medicine first. Xot exacltv as a feat of arms, but as an instance of feet worth Inning, the Iowa papers tell of a young lady in that state who walked twenty miles to have a tooth extracted, and returned by the same con veyance the same day.

Among the names immortal zed by heroic, grand and effective deeds igainst the rebellion, none shines brighter ban his. In the history of naval achive inents, his acts occupy a foremost place, standing conspicuous for brilliant daring skill and splendid success by those of Nelson. What our country owes him is beyond calculation. His ascent to New Orleans, through storms of iron hail and the stoutest obstructions that tile best skill could prepare, was one ot the first gleams ot light upon the arms of the government, the first step towards obta ning the con trol of the Mississippi, so important to the crushing of the rebellion. Had it not I been for bis able co-operation at l’orl Hudson and Vicksburg, even the indomit able Grant might have encountered dis aster, and the war assumed a different phase from what it wore when Vicksburg fell ami the whole Mississippi, from source to mouth, was restored to loyal bands. When will his gallantry at Mobile cease j to be the wonder and delight of those who admire courage and resolution? The pages of romance contain nothing to sur pass it; a grateful country remembers it with pride. And yet while this man was so brave in battle, there was nothing done i by him for mere effect upon the public mind, but what he did do was in the per formance of duty and true allegiance to his country. These deeds of his that so shine and attract were only such as the occasion seemed to demand, and thus through their very simplicity they rise in to the grand and heroic. Admiral Farragut was of Castilian ori gin. His ancestors came to this country from the islaud of Miuorcu and settled in Florida, llis father served through the Revolutionary War, and afterwards was j one ot the early settlers of Tennessee, at a place called Campbell's Station, twelve miles from Knoxville. At this place the late Admiral Farragut was born, in 1801. 1 His father subsequently removed south with his family, took part in the battle of New Orleans, and died in Pascagoula. The most of his family married in and about New Orleans, where their descend ants still live. David showed a strong predilection for naval life at an early age, and was initialed young into the profession towards which he had a natural bent. When only nine years of age, he had a midshipman's berth, under Commodori Porter, nnd saw hi* first sea-fight wliih i aboard the Essex, in her desperate eneonn j ter with the Alert in 1812. lie was alsi in the fight at Valparaiso, with Porter, it which the Essex was destroyed, am though only twelve years of age, he stooi by his commander to the 'ast and was I wounded. In his report to the Secretary of the Navy, Commodore Porter especially mentioned the name of the boy for his gal lantry, and expressed a regret that In was “too young for promotion" Thus the boy was plainly father to the man With peace there was no need of action, no chance for merit to display itself. Fot forty-five years, Farragut, still in the navy, was rusting out in the dull season ol peace, and scarcely known outside of hi? immediate personal acquaintance. In 1825 he became lieutenant, in 1.811 com mander, and in 1851 captain. When the rebellion began he was sixty years old. and had been in the service forty-eight years, lie was then living at Norfolk. The rebels reckoned upon him to go with them,but much to their surprise he refused. Being threatened and told that he could not stay in Norfolk with Union sentiments, he at once replied, "very well, I will go where 1 can live with such sentiments,” and on the 18th of April 1801, the same night that the Norlolk navy yard was de stroyed, lie left and established liimselt near Tarrytown, on the Hudson river. Furragut’s first appointment was to the command of the naval part of the New Orleans expedition. His orders reached 'dm Jan. 20, 1H02, and on Feb. J he sailed .n his famous Hag-ship, the Hartford, from Hampton Hoads. On the 17tb of April, after a month of preparation at the mouth ot the river, the fight for supremacy on the Mississippi began, and on the night of tin 2Jd it was practically settled in*favor ol the North by the passage vif Farragnt through the rebel fleet, forts and obstruc tions. From this time his fame was establish ed. Iiis d cds at Port Hudson and Vicks burg made more certain his title to re nown, and the light at Mobile gave the crowning glory to his career, covering him with a halo lit for a hero of romance. Tin; story of his lashing himself to the rig ging in the midst of the battle has gone into song and history, and will live as long ns courage is admired and fidelity es teemed. Since the war closed, Admiral Farragut has received the highest testimo nials of the popular love and admiration, and been favored with every mark of honor that the government could bestow. His death is somewhat unexpected, for his health tip to his late sickness was unim paired, and he had every promise, accord ing to appearances, of a vigorous old age. The nation melts in tears at his death. Brave, honest, patriotic, true-hearted hero, the regrets which spring from the hearts of his countrymen are the proudest ofier ing that his noble spirit could ask. The monuments of kings are nothing in the scale with the tears and sighs of a people mourning a benefactor. j I TIIE ARHUS AND SPEAKER BLAISE. To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: The Portland Argus froths at the mouth on Speaker Blaine's letter of acceptance, i and after a column of abuse proposes to annihilate that gentleman by a series of conundrums which it calls upon him to answer. The most weighty, lengthy and serious of them is the following: “How he, having been elected to Congress when comparatively poor and paying less than a hundred dollars a year rent for his family residence, lias been able in the public service, at not over ijfi,000 a year legitimate wages, to “lay up" from one hundred to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, (as current ly reported and never as yet denied that we have seen), and at the same time living in a style of opulence hardly surpassed by the most wealthy V” Ill the first place Mr. Blaine never lived In a “rented house” in Augusta at any time, for one hundred dollars a year—or any other sum. Ilis present residence was purchased by him more than a year Indore he took his seat iu Congress, and his style of living, so far as his friends and neighbors know, is precisely the same now that it was then, lie paid the enormous and extravagant sum of live thousand dol lars for his residence we believe, and pos sibly has shingled his barn since and re paired his fence. It the Argus or the Democratic party desire to know the par ticulars we will inquire. As to Mr. Blaine’s laying up $100,000 to $150,OX) a year—everybody reads such nonsense with contempt. It is too ridicu lous even for campaign talk—and too silly for any paper but the A gusto retail. Why not put his annual savings at a million and be done with it? Mr. Blaine's sworn income outside of official salary has for a series of years been from five to seven thousand dollars. He pays taxes in the city of Augusta on a valua tion of about thirty-two thousand dollars, and is known beside to have valuable property in Pennsylvania which he pur chased, the Argus will please observe, in 1857-8, when Mr. Blaine edited the Port land Advertiser. The purchase of coal property at that time was one in which several capitalists in Portland and on the Kennebec were, urged by Mr. Bluiuts to take an interest. They all declined and Mr. Blaine went heavily iu debt for the whole. It is generally understood among Mr. Blaine's friends that the investment proved very remunerative. The eom plaiut that Mr. Blaine owns property in Pennsylvania and spends the in come of it in Maine, is one that we cannot see the precise force of from a Maine standpoint! We do not see what Maine has to complain of iu the matter. The facts thus briefly stated compose the whole history of Mr. Blaine’s property —about which the Democratic party have made themselves so restless and ridicu lous during the past two or three years. If it will be any satisfaction, however, 1 to the Argus, we will give it as our opin ion that Mr. Blaine, if he lives, is destined i to be a wealthy man. lie is careful, pru dent, industrious and energetic in business affairs, enjoys in a large degree the confi dence of several of the leading capitalists in Maine and other New England States, and can at any time command money by the trust reposed in his sagacity and in tegrity by these capitalists. But Mr. Blaine's financial life and his political life are two distinct things. We personally know that tit this very time he is urged by his leading associates in busi ness to give up political life entirely and accept a compensation which is more than double his official pay, and which would leave him at home nearly the entire year. But Mr. Blaine would lie strangely consti tuted if at his time of life he should wish to retire from a sphere of public duty in which his success has been so gratifying, —and if he should desire it, ins Kennebec j constituency would very unanimously ob ject. At other times the Argus lias made itself very busy about Speaker Blaine’s Wash ington residence. It is quite true that Mr. Blaine has kept house in very genteel, but not extravagant style, since he was Speak er. He purchased a good residence, made partial payment, and mortgaged it for the remainder, and thereby made a large an nual saving as compared with the usual manner of taking a furnished house, ll has always been the custom of the Speaker to keep house and give receptions," and we are glad to know that the credit of Maine for hospitality lias not suffered by the course pursued by Mr. Blaine. Will the Argus have the magnanimity to copy this article and let its readers see and know a frank statement of facts? We expe.t it, of course, to accompany the publication with its usual amount of sirosh and bosh, but we again ask, will it tlarc to 1 publish the facts It is humiliating that the course of poli ties is dragged so low by the Democratic party that tile private affairs of a public officer arc forced into newspaper discus sion. But we certainly know of no one who lias less reason to fear such scrutiny than Mr. Blaine. The writer of this arti- j ele has long known the state of bis affairs, Inis bud business eouueetions and assoeia- j tions with him of the most intimate and confidential character, and on public and j private relations is proud to subscribe him-' self A FinKM>. 1 FROM MT. DESERT. So. West Hariiob, Mt. Desert, Aug. 13. Dear Journal: Taking the steamer at Bar Harbor, we came back to this place, a distance ol some 15 miles. Many persons who have not been here form a very poor idea of the place. It lies 110 miles east of Port land, and so near the mainland as to be sep arated from it on the north only by a narrow arm of the sea which is crossed by Trenton bridge. It covers an area of one hundred square miles, and is divided into three towns, the southern being called Tremont, the mid dle part Mt. Desert, and the north-eastern part Eden. Its greatest length is 14 miles, breadth 8 miles. It contains 13 mountains and 13 lakes. Green mountain rises 1SU0 feet above the ocean. There is a carriage road to the top of it where there is a “Tip Top House.” There are 1 ikes two or three miles long, several hundred feet above the surrounding ocean. The longest lake on the island is about five miles. There are many places of interest here, such as these mount ains and lakes, the “Devils Oven," “Sporting Horn,” “The Gorge," “Utter Creek” and many others. The poet has well said of Mt Desert: An island, full of hills and dells, All rumpled and uneven 81 nil green recesses, sudden swells, And odorous valleys, driven So det p and straight tint always there The w iml is cradled to soil air.” This is not much of a place for bathing— the water is too cold. We found that out by personal experience when here last season. We got up one morning before sunrise and wandering the craggy shore, found a suit able place out of light and hearing of the set tlement. Divesting ourselves of all superflu ities we dashed in to the briny Atlantic, when, horror of horrors! how cold! It fairly made us numb, took all feeling from our limbs. You can get some idea of it by plung ing your band and arm into a barrel of pickle in your cellar. We made tor the- shore, w-litn upon looking up we saw standing on a crag a rod or two from our clothes, a stalwart In dian. We supposed no human being within half a mile of us so early in the morning. At first Indian stories we bad read rushed to our mind; we thought to ourselves, what if “he is some King of the Cannibal Island” waiting for his morning meal. This was our last experi ence at sea bathing. W t* passi’U int* lousier vaumii^ cmuimi.mi i mcnt hero again, to-day, but our appetite did not crave for lobsters this time. The girls I here are employed in putting them up in tin cans. Seeing several of them standing idly looking at us we asked them if they did not wish to hire us to help them “can" lobsters, when one of them replied they thought we would cause a saving of tin cans; judging from what they had seen of us they thought we could “can" one bout load without using any tin cans. We left them. You may know this is u healthy place, for only after three days living here we tip t't'O quick, which is nearly as much us both junior editors of the Augusta Daily can tip together after two weeks sojourn at Hoothbay. Why don’t you come down here where the big folks 1 come, and "become big” yourselves. This reminds us of a story I heard—the truth of which 1 will not vouch for. The local editor i of a daily paper not a hundred miles from Augusta, lately visited Boothbay, where he found the public house so full there was no place for him to sleep excepting to take a i South American hanging bed, which is simply a piece of netting suspended at each end. lie got into this, but being so thin and lank he would slip through the netting, llis next re source was the barn to sleep on the hay mow. In the night be awoke and found it so warm he thought he would go out into i he open air, when he found the doors fast cncd; then what does hiimli. JI. l\ t>ranii 1 itmrcli; Jonn J*.

Admiral Farragut’s life on earth having jUst elosed, it reminds me of an incident in which he was interested, and which also shows the true character of a noble Ilian, who though in an humble position in life, has caused his "light to shine by asimplc- action. At a party given not long since in honor of Admiral Farragut at the Farragut House in live Beach, the Navy Uffieers having feasted and toasted, the Admiral says to the leader of the Marine Band, Mr. Harlow "On with the dance;” he replies, "not until we have had our supper, and if you please, give us the honor of drinking your health." “Certainly” says the Admiral, "Bring on my best Liquors and Wines.” “Thank you," says this noble young man, "We are a cold water Band,” and they drank it with water, without a single exception using this beve-age. And here is a band whuse salary from the Navy is eight thousand dollars per year. Where is the man who would have had the moral courage to have faced a government officer in the position they both were wiiii the ■L ink a free gift, and he dependent on the vy for liia living and had the firmness to reply in this manner. Young men; when you are about to drag down the happiness of your future wives and •ahildri n by your present actions, let me as a lady w ho abhor* such a vice, ask you to re number this little act.

The Kidney? are two in number, situated at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by tat, and con sisting of three parts, viz the Anterior, the interi or. and the Kxterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and rouvev it to the exterior. The exterior is a con ductor also, terminating in a single tube, and called the tdeter. The ureters are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the I’pper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the ability others urinate without the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children.* To cure these affections, we must bring into ac tion the muscles, which are engaged in their vari ous functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must also be made aware, that who ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh and blood* are supported from these sources. Got'T, or UhEl'Matihm.—l’ain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. The Gravel.—The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treatment of the kidney.-. These or gan.- being weak, the water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes fever ish, and sediment forms. It is from this deposit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues. Dropsy in a collection of water in some parts of the body, ami bears diflerent names, according to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffu-ed over the body, it is called Ana-area when of the abdomen, Ascites; wheu of the client, Hydrotho rax. Treatment.—Helmbold’s highly concentrated compound Extract Buchu is decidedly on^if the best remedies for diseases oi the bladder, kmiieys, gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism,and gouty affections. Lender thin head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water. Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges of water; strangury, or-topping of water; Hema turia, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but increase in color, or dark water. It was always highly recommended by the late Dr. I'hysiek, in theseaffections. This medicine increases the power of digestion, and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise by which the watery or calcareous depositions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well as bain and in flammation, are reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and childrcu. Directions for use and diet accompany. PilTLADKi.miA, Penn.. Feb. 25,1807. H. T. IlKLMBOU*. Druggist—Dk.au #SIK I have been a .-uflVrer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, 1 consulted my family physican iu regard to using vour Extract 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, 1 despaired of ever getting well, uud 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 buchu, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about eight mouths ago, at which time I was confined 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 liku 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 it it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ol greater vulue to you and more satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected, alter using the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for three months, ami led as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its use iu such affections. M.
