to the various diseases incident to the temperate
and tropical climate. Thc following comprise the
series of Graefenberg Medicines :
THE   GRAEFENBERG    VEGETABLE PILLS,
Are considered the standard Pill of the day,
and arc infinitely superior to any Pill before tbe
public. The operate without irritation on all the
excretions, purging the blood by thc bowels, livef,
ludnoys, and skin.
MARSHALL'S UTERINE CATS-
OLICON.
An infallible remedy for all diseases of the
womb and urinery organs, weakness in the back,
pain in the breast, nervousness, debility, etc. In
California and Oregon, out of more than a thousand cases where this medicine has been used, it
has iu no single instance failed to give permanent
relief or to effect a certain cure.

Curious facts from History.
The Chevalier D\Aubigne. who fled to Eugland
during the French revolution of 179 8, and for a
while lived there iu a very straightened manner,
accumulated a -fortune oi eichtv" tlioupund fiance
by teaching the English fashionables how to mix
salad. He visiied his patrons in a carriage, attended by a servant.
The custom of sitting at table to drink, after
dinner was ever, was introduced by Margaret
Atheling. the Saxon Queen ol Scotland. She was
shocked to see Scottish gentlemen rising from the
table hefore grace could be said, and offered a cup
of choice wiue to all who would remain.
Fish did- not become a popular article of diet in
Greece until a comparatively late period, and
there was a society against "cruelty to fish " by
abstaining from devouring what was alleged to
make the tlevourer ferocious and in Ml man. With
Romans, the mullet waa prized above all other
fish. It was u>omctimes serred up six pounds in
weight, and such a fish was worth three hundred
dollars! It was cooked on the table, for the bane
fit. and pleasure of the guests. Tut-but was next
highest in estimation, and occasionally offending
slaves were thrown into thc ponds to feed their.-
The old Roman-; paid t-pccial hono;j to agriculture, as did the Jews. Their coin was stamped
with symbols in connection therewith. Tbe
Greeks refreshed the mouths of their plowing oxen with wine. Charles the Ninth exempted from
arrest for debt all persons engaged in the btapld
articles of agriculture.
Cortes weut to Mexico in search of gold, but th
first discovery he made was of chocolate. The
monks were the earliest to adopt it, but the gen^
erous bewruge was considered a sort of wicked
luxury for them, and titty were warned against it.
The moralists eagerly condemned it. Tne Spaniards, however, welcomed it with enthusiasm.
It is recorded that Antony onee rewarded his
cook with the gift of u city, lor having prepared a
iepiist which elicited Uie encomiums ot t-leopatia.
An English Dean, named No well, who flourished in the turbulent reign of Queen Mary, was the
accidental inventor of bottled ale. liu was out
fishing with a bottle of thdfreshly drawn beverage
at his side, when intelligence reached him that his
life was in danger. He threw down his tishiug
rod. buried his boitle of ale in the grass, and fled
Afterwards, reclaiming bis bottle, tin- coik flew
out at the touch, aud the dean was so delighted
with the creamy condition of the ale that be took
care thereafter tc be supplied with the "same sort."
Sti Battie and springs uf water were greatly reverenced by some ancient nations. According to
the popular belief of ihe Greeks, every stream,
spring and fountain had a resident deity. The
Egyptians, grateful for the blessings ihey derived
feoffl their beloved Nile, flung into it corn, sugar
and fruit, as thank offerings. The Persians and
Cappadocians raised altars beside Streams, and
paid their adoration to the god whose existence
was evidenced by the* crystal clement. The common people ol Rome drank io excess of water,
bolh It ot aud cold. The former they drank iu
winter, ;is a sfinmlaiil !
The breakfast ol a Greek soldier, taken at dawn
of dav, consisted of bread soaked in wine. Greek
p-itriei-.-i'S sat down daily to but one solid meal;
soldiers aud plebeians partook of two. They were
accounted peculiarly coarse people who consumed
three. The Romans were in this respect similar
to the Greeks.
lu Rome milk was used as a cosmetic, und for
baths as well as a beverage. Five hundred asses
supplied the bath and toilet vases of iin- Empress
Popppsea. Some dozen or two of the same animals were kept to maintain the decaying strength

said, "Squire, I can't swar to that ar dockymcut."

such a squeatni-jjli stumick es that! I'm done with
such infernals fools." And ho left the conscientious one to his late.
Now for Shell-bark again. Sqeiwing what an
unexpected course a "law case" can take when it
tries itself. Jim Thomason was "hed up'' for
"taring down a h use, breaking the bell, aud fling
iu' au 'oman into a mill-pond." The case came up
before two justices of the peace for a mountain
district. Court was to be held in A long school
house in July. There was a cloud of witnesses
and no cloud over the sun ; while the prisoner's
guilt was quite clear, and old Shell very cool.
After soft-soaping the two old spectacled gourd-
heada about tbeir intelligence and -profound legal
ability, he drew from his saddlebags a greasy
copy af "Oobb," and read therefrom that '• whar
an emergency arose requiring the temporary absence of defendant's counsel, not gwyne bey ant
four hours aud fourteen rniuits. the counsel mout
demand (to further the aiuds ov justice) lhat all

court aaid, "'twould be powerful hot iu the
house." '-Very well," said old Shell, "we will
go out in tbe dog fennel io the field," and ordered
the court to the shade of a persimmon tree, the
witnesses under a clump of piuess, the spectators
to the shade of a blackberry thicket, the prisoner
on a stump, and the constable mounted a mound
in general charge of the motley crowd, each lot
separated about forty yards from the other. Old
Shell mounted his horse, and as he passed file
stump he remarked to the prisoner—"Jist cs soon
es the top ofmy hat sinks behind yan hill, du you
jist run like hound? were arter you, an' mix yer-
self in tbat ar thicket, air never be seen in these

the prisoner was bul one party out of four, so.he
returned lo stand guard over the remaining three.
After a while the spectators broke in a eruwd,still
it was two lo one, and he retrained wilh lhe;
'■court" and the witnesses, and ihe last Old Shell
heard from him, there he was still in charge of llie
•'courl," exhorting it to -'stand srj.nar« up to its
duty ef hit lasted till Gabriel blow'd his horn."
It is needless to add that Shell lias not practiced
before that court since, nor has he been on tbat

We now agree that an educated, intellectual,

if he fell in willful fray, is no match for au empty-
headed younger son, with jtist brains enough for
