Natural Bridges.

When caverns in which the streams disappeared are of small extent, and open at both ends, they form natural bridges. These are frequently met with now in localities where no water exists Aremarkable curiosity of this kind occurs in the valley of Icononzo, or Pandi,in Mexicc. It spans a chasm three hundred and twenty-five feet deep, at whose bottom winds a small current, the Rio de la Summa Paz, en- closed in an almost inaccusable channel. The principal bridge measures forty- eight feet in length by thirty-nine in width, and is six and one-half feet thick, Sixty-five feet below this is found a second, consisting of three blocks, which support themselves without any adventitions sid; the central is perforated with «a hole, throngh which the bottom of the abyss is visible The bridge of Are, over the river Ar- deche, is a natural arch, ninety-eight feet in height, and one hundred and ninety-five in span. The bridge of Veja, near Verona, is one hundred and twenty-tive feet high. The magnificent rack bridge of Virginia spans an abyss which separates two mountains—an abyss two hundred and twenty-five feet, in the deep obscurity of which whiten and seethe the restless waters of Cedar Creek. The marvellous arch is nearly one hundred feet in length and forty-two feet thick; it is a natural curiosity, which no spectator can survey without feelings of admiration. In the Lebanon, a torrent emptying into the Beirut river passes under a natural arch two hundred and fifteen feet in height, locally koownas the Aniel Laban. <A similar bridge is thrown over the Litany, the ancient Leontes, near Tiar Kuraone, where theriver has tunnelled through a rock upwards of ninety feetthick. The road from Wady el Leim to Nibzh is ear- ried ucross this wonderful arch, The arch over the Dog river, near the Niban el Liban, hollowed out in the solid rock. It iswinety feet thick, its span one hun, dred and fifty-s-ven feet, and the height of the lower side nearly two hundred feet.

dead. He was a little black animal, with white hair around his neck, and a! bushy tail that curled over his back.

He voluntarily joined the police force; about eight years ago, and followed the! men about day aod night—first one member of the force and then another.

Many a dark night has he assisted the officers in discovering the whereabouts of tramps who had concealed them- selves in empty barrels and boxes, and his terrifying bark has caused hundreds of petty thieves to take to their heels. He prowled about the darkest corners in the alleys, and whenever an intoxi- cated inan was found a yelp or two was sufficient to bring up the nearest officer to look into the matter. His wellknown voice was relied on with as much con- fidence as the sound of a policeman’s whistle, and it was always answered. At roll-call he was prompt as any of tbe men, and on such occasions he was the pet of the office. He had the mos

Tue Sueer.—The sheep bites closer than the ox. He was designed to live where the other would starve; he was designed in many places to follow the ox, and to gather sufficient nourishment where the ox would be unable to crop a single blade. The purposes are an- swered by this: All the nutriment the land pi oduces is gathered from it, while the pasture is made to produce more herbage than by any means it could be forced to do; the sheep by his close bite, not only loosens the roots of the

rass and stimulates their spreading,

ut by cutting off the short suckers, causes the plant to throw out tresh, stronger and more nnmerous ones, and thus improve and increase the value of the crop. Nothing will more ex- peditiously or efeetually make a rich, permaneut pasture than its being oc- casionally and closely eaten down by sheep.

Theeditor of anative journal published Delhi promulgates the novel doctrine among the millions of Hindoos that the Hindoo and English races are identically the same. He argues the question out afier this fishion :—‘ First, there isa people in Europe called the dutch, and Dakska is the nameof one of the sons of Brahma ; second, in the Urdu language ‘Kathrin’ means a woman of the * Khatri’ caste, almost the highest caste in India, and one cf the wives of Henry VIII. was ca le! Katharine ; third, both Koglishmen aud Hiadoo bathe daily, in which they have no imitators; fourth, Englishmen and Hindoos eat pork ; fifth, Barah, or “the hog,’’ this is the name of an incarvation of Vishnu, and the Eoglish once had a lord ealled Bacon, whom they venerate to this day; sixth, both English and Hindoo women wear petticoats; and seventh, some Hindoos wear the Brahmin-

The Greatest Medical Disecvery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of tho Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ng of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. it is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum PoRoUs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and “ar to be worn continually to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually preseribo them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and

ou want a certain eure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and

ulck in its action, you can rely on its safety

‘or the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and ete poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will ecli hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cum Porous PLASTER, and take no others or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
