had, for eighieen years, lived alone on | a dreary dusty island, and was finally | discovered snd taken off by the crew of| a vessel in search of her. Many years | azo a small schooner was sent to the i land of San Nicholas, in the Pacifie, some seventy-five miles southeast of) Sinta Barbara, o bring away a num-| ber of Indians living there and settle them on the Mainland. Nineteen men, women and children had been got on board, when one of them, a mother, found that two of her offspring had been left behind. She immediately jamped overboord and swam to the island, where she sought in vain for her children. Having returned to the shore, she saw the schooner sailing away, and tried in vain to attract atten- tion. The island was not visited again for sixteen years. Then George Nid- eve", an otter hunter, commanding a small vessel, landed there and detected evidences of human habitation, but

There was comical scene at the rail- way station in Birmingham a fortnight | February 18, 878--taw for 2m

ago. A young English couple had been in the habit of mecting together on one of the platforms, in order to exchange words of tender import. They met, as some young ladies and gentlemen have a way of doing, without the knowledge of parents or guardians, and an irascible aunt of the damsel, hearing of the clandestine courtship, went down to the station in a towering rage, determined to ferret out the whole matter, and chastise the offend- ersin a manner that they would not forget. The fond lovers came togeth- as usual and promenaded over the well- known aod to them almost sacred ground, But just when the young man was apparently breathing the tendeest sentiments into the willing ear of the blush'ng inaid, whack came a gingham umbrella upon the top of his head, and the ardent swain had a narrow escape from measuring his length upon the pavement. The old lady, not content with assaulting the lover, turned upon her neice, and served her ina similar manner, the gingham being flourished vigorously for several minutes, to the intense amusement of a crowd of spectators.

The exceptionally cold weather of the past winter on the Pacific coast has been a severe test to the hardvess of orange and lemon trees in Californis and fears have been entertained that the profitable culture of these semi- tropical fruits could only be carried on in a few favored localities. To dete} mine the truth of these suppos:tions, theSan Francisco Bulletin sent circulars of inquiry to experienced growers all over the State, and the responses fill one side of the paper. The conclusion seems to be that oranges will ripen not only in the extreme Southern sections but in nearly every county in the State. Through a district 400 miles long and 120 miles wide, and at an altitude of 1500 feet on the western slopes of the Sierras, this fruit will prosper when not exposed to the cutting sweep of northerly winds, and under these con- ditions four-vears-old trees have not only survived the coldest winter for fifteen years, but in the most unfavor- able circumstances suffered blight only in their tender shoots. The same is also true of the lemon trees,

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

There never has heen a time when the heal- ing 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 Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, te 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 require to be worn continually te 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 & 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 eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLAsTrERs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe 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 or liniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain eure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELvIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER. You can pardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. -Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety foi the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and oleae poisonous material commonly used in the manutacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will e7li hundreds to your friends.

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

Constitutional atarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the ‘onstitulional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :— Dear Sirn—Itis now two years since your ‘“‘Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, «s at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to be true.”

I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many 4 ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle 1 found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, — ts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper. Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister. Port Elgin, Ont., Aug. 24, 1878. Ask for Littlefield’s Constitutional Catarrh Remedy and take no other. T. J. B. Harpine, Dominion Agent, Brock- ville, Ont. For sale by all Druggists at only one Dollar per bottle.
