This is the purest, sweetest, most speedy, permanent, and economical treat- ment for torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and pimply humours, eczemas, rashes, irritations, and itchings, with loss of hair, of infants and children, yet compounded.

The party reached the summit in safety, and after a short reat commenced the descent. About a quarter of an hour from the top a terrific hurricane was encountered. The guides dug their piolets into the ice and held on. ca

Memory, the power of the mind to retain Impressions conveyed to it by the organa of special sense, was probably more keenly developed in Morphy than in any other great chess player, (says Lasker'a Chesa Magazine, though our knowledge of his possession of this power is limited to his chess. It was stated by those who were

that his memory of games was remarkable,

and that he could recall instantly every important game no ever played. During Morphy's visit to New York, shortly after the war, to arrange for the publication, of his

games, he was assisted in his work by the late Charles A. Gilberg and Napoleon Marache, and they were with him almost constantly during hie stay. The matter of memory of games was frequently discussed; and merely to test the ability of the young master they would ask him, "How is this, Mr Morphy, moyo so-and-so of game game with So-and-so doesn't appear to be correct?" Morphy would think intently for a moment, and apparently without effort give the move. Mr Gilberg stated that he tried Mr Morphy many times, and his games seemed to be so vividly impressed upon his mind that they came up as though thay they had been played the same day

IMPURITIES IN THE BLOOD. We have seen hosts of letters from all sorts and conditions of people, in which the writers acknowledge the benefit they have received from Clarke's Blood Mixture, which as a curative agent cannot be too highly estimated, since it cleanses and clears the blood from all impurities, and restores it to its normal condition. This is a good testimonial from the Family Doctor, the popular medical weekly, which goes on further to say: It is certainly the finest blood parifler that aderce and skill have brought to light; and we can with the utmost confidence recommend it to our subscribers and public generally.'

To the surprise of those present the glass was soon to be standing up on the table, though the major part of the bottom, which measured from three-quarters to half an inch in thickness was shivered and broken as if by some explosive.

It is true that Chinese poets, and his Borians have extolled the profession of agriculture.

And Chineso writers have not written of

agriculture only from the point of view of the poet, namely to extol the pleasantness of the occupation, as perhaps Virgil and others have done. They have known that it lies at the base of national prosperity; the one industry of fishing excepted, it has been the only source from which the people have got their good.
