The-facts in the following case came to me by letter from a. young lady who lives in the beautiful city of San Jose; she is perfectly unknown to me, and simply signs herself “ Aurelia h’laria,” which may possibly be a fie- ticious name. But no matter; the poor girl is almost heart-broken by' the misfortune she has undergone, and so confused by the conflicting counsels of misguided friends and inâ€" sidious enemies, that she does not know what course to pursue in order to extricate herself from the web of difficulties in which she seems almost hopelessly involved. In this dilem- ma. she turns to me for help, and sup- plieatcs for my guidance and instruc- tions with a moving eloquence that would touch the heart of a statue. Here here sad'story : ‘ ' She says that when she was sixteen years old she met and loved, with all the devotion of a passionate nature, a young man from New Jersey named Williamson Breekinridge Caruthers, who was some six years her senior. They were engaged with the free consent of their friends and relatives, and for a time it seemed as if their career was destined to be character- ized by an immunity from sorrow be- yond the usual lot of humanity. But at last the tide of fortune turned ; young Oaruthers became infected with smallâ€"pox of the most virulent type, and when he recovered from his ill, ness his face was pitted like a waffle- mold, and his comliness gone forever. Aurelia thought to break off the engagement first, but pity for her un- fortunate lover caused her to postpone the marriage day for a season and give him another trial. The very day before the wedding was to have taken place, Breckinridge, While absorbed in watching the flight of a balloon, walked into a well and fractured one Of his legs, and it had to be taken off above the knee. Again Aurelia was moved to break the en- gagement, but again love triumphed and she set the day forward and gave him another chance to reform. And again misfortune overtook the poor youth. He lost one arm by the premature discharge of a Fourth of July cannon, and Within three months he got the other pulled out, by a. card- ing machine. Aurelia’s heart was almost crushed by these latter calam- ities. She could not but be grieved to see her lover passing from her by piecemeal, feeling, as she did, that'he could not last forever under this dis- astrous , process of reduction, yet knowing of no way to stop its dread- ful career; and in her-tearful despair she almost regretted, like brokers, who hold’ on and lose, that she had not taken him at first, before he had suffered such an alarming deprecia- tion. Still her brave soul bore up, and she_ resolved to bear with her friend’s unnatural disposition yet a little longer. Again the wedding day approached,’ and again disappointments oversha- dowed it. Caruthers fell ill with the erysipelas and lost the use of one of his eyes entirely. The friends and relatives of the bride, considerin g that she has already put up with more than could reasonably be expected of her, now came forward and insisted that the match should be broken off; but after wayering a while, Aurelia, with a generous spirit that did her credit, said she had reflected calmly upon the matter, and could not- dis- cover that Breekinridge was to blame. It was a sad day for the poor girl When she saw the surgeons reverent- 1y bearing away the sack whose uses she had learned by previous experiâ€" ence, and her heart told_her the bitter truth that some more of her lover was gone, She felt that the field of her affections was growing more and more circumscribed every day, but once more she frowned down her rel- atives and renewed her bethrothal. So she extended the‘iime once more, 3119 he broke hi3; other leg. Shortly before the time set for the nuptials another disaster occurred. There was but one man sealped by the Owensriver Indians last year. That man was WilliamsonBreckin- ridge Caruthers, of New Jersey. He was hurrying home with happiness 5:: his heart, when he lost his,‘hair for- ever, and in that hour of bitterness he almost cursed the mistaken mercy that has spared his head. At last Aurelia is in serious per- plexity as to what she ought to do. She still loves her Breckinridge, she writes with truly womanly feelingâ€" she still loves What is left of him~â€" but her parents are bitterly opposed to the match, because he has no. pro- perty and. is disabled from working, and she has not sufficient means to support both comfortably. .“N ow, what should she .do ?” she asks with painful and anxious solicitude. It is a delicate question ; it is one! which involves the life-long happiness of a woman, and I feel that it would be assuming too great a. responsibility to do more than make a mere sugges- tion in the case. How would it do to build to him? If Aurelia can afford the expense, let her furnish her mu? tilated lover with wooden arms and Wooden legs, and a glass eye and a wig, and give him another show ; give him ninety days, without grace, and if he does not break his neck in the meantime, marry him and take the chances. It does not seem to me there is much risk any way, Au1*elia,, because if he sticks' to his singular propensity for damaging himself every time he sees a good opportunâ€" ity, his next experiment is bound to finish him and then you are safe, mar- married, or single. If married, the wooden legs and such other valuables as he may possess revert to the widâ€" ow, and you see you sustain no actual loss save the cherished fragment of a noble'but most unfortunate husband, who honestly strove to do right, but Whose extraordinary instincts were against him. Try it, Maria. I have AURELIA’S UN F ORTUN ATE YOUNG MAN. BY MARK T‘VAIN‘ thought the matter over carefully and well, and it is the only chance I see for you. It would have been ahappy conceit on the part of Caruthers if he had started with his neck and broken that first; but since he has seen fit to choose, a different policy and string himself out as long as possible, I do not think we ought to upbraid him for it if he has enjoyed it. We must do the best we can under .the circumâ€" stances, and try not to feel exaspera- ted at him. Wealth of the British Aristocracy. The enormous wealth of the very few may be judged by certain exam- ples and facts, which are here given on credible testimony. There are thirty thousand great English land- owners, who together drive a land revenue of some sixty millions of pounds sterling. There are consider- ably more than a million peasants, who have hitherto been totally de- pended for bare existence on the lords of the soil. One quarter of Scotland is owned by eight noblemen, of whom the chief are the Dukes of Hamilton, Buecleuch, and Sutherland, the Marâ€" quis of Bute, and the Earl of Breadal- bane. The English county of East Sussex, embracing more than eight hundred square miles, is almost ex- clusively the property of the Duke of Richmond and the Baron of Leeonâ€" field.~ So extensive is the property of the young Marquis of Bute, 'whose income is fully three hundred thous- and pounds a year, that not long ago his agent spent nearly two millions in repairing and altering his magnifi- cent manor and estate of Crichton Mount Stuart, the marquis’s residence near Cardiff. Mr. Bright once in- stanced the ease of a nobleman with an income of onevhundred. and twenty thousand pounds, who annually spent‘ forty thousand, and laid down the‘ remaining eighty thousand in “ round- in g ” his property, by buying up every parcel of ground contiguous to his estate which he could induce the own ers to sell. This was one example of the pregnant fact that the land has long been in process of concentration in the hands of fewer and fewer pos- sessors, thus ever widening the gap between rich and poor, This tenâ€" dency has been encmraged and pro- tected by the still enforced laws of primogeniture and entail. To be sure, the law of primogeniture, as it now stands, only operates in the case of a proprietor dying intestate; and but very few large land-owners do die in- ; testate. Nine out of ten, however, do as a fact leave the bulk of their real 1estate by will to the eldest son, to maintain the dignity and prestige of the family. The law of entail is far more serious in its results, as tying up land and perpetuating vast and ancient estates beyond peradventure. Simply stated, the present English law of entail enables the owner of a landed property to devise it for the term of a life in living, and for twenty- one years after; and this entail can only be cut ofi‘ by the eoneurrentcon- sent of two partiesâ€"the existing oe- cupant and the heir. If, therefore, Lord Hardhunter has a son two years old, and that sen lives to be eighty, Lord Hardhunter may, by an entail, easily cut the estate absolutely‘off from the market for a hundred years. In various ways this often works other injustices than that of restrict- ing land in so small and overcrowded a country. The present Duke of Newcastle, having run through his fortune and a' greater part of that of his duchess, went into bankruptcy loaded down with debts, one alone of which amounted to eighty thousand pounds. But the creditors could not touch his entailed estates, and so this noble bankrupt still finds himself in possession of one of the most enviable properties in the kingdom. A Kmong other immense properties of the few rich may be mentioned that of the Duke of Westminster, who owns, besides Belgrave and Eaton squares, and a large part of the fashâ€" ionable quarter of Westminster, the magnificent manor of Eaton Hall, near Chester, Halkin House, in Flint? shire, and Motcombe House, in Dor- setshire, each surrounded by thousâ€" ands of arable but, to some extent at least, uncultivated acres. The Duke ,of Bedford owns the extensive group ; of squares in that central part of Lon- don called “ Bloomsbury,” also Covâ€" ent Garden Theatre and Covent Gar- iden Market, many streets leading from the Strand on either side, and blocks of houses at the \Vest End, and one of the most splendid of English rural estates at VVoburn Abbey. The Earl of Derby may be said to own almost square miles of blocks in Livâ€" erpool, and Knowsley, his ancestral countryâ€"seat is larger than most Canadian townships. The Duke of Sutherland is said to be able to ride -by rail from sunrise to' sundown on his Scottish estates, and has five noble castlesâ€"Dunrobin, House of Tongue, Trentham, Lilleshall, and Chifden. The Duke of Devonshire is the lOrd of no less than eight castles, all of which are rural palaces fitfor royalty, among them peerless Chatswort-h and the only less superb Hardwicke Hall. In London he has a residence on Picca- dilly, where land can be worth scarce- ly less than ten poundS‘a square feet, which is surrounded by gardens, and occupies a broad square. The eccen- tric Earl of Dudley, Earl Brownlow, the illiterate Duke of Portland, Baron Portmau, the Duke of Northumber- land, the Earl of Abergavenny, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Duke of Rutland, and Marquis Camden have immense rural properties, which are only exceeded in value by the whole quarters which they own in central parts of the great metropolis itself. The Duke of Buccleuch has ten castles in each of which a liberal domestic establishment is kept up all the year round. The Scottish Earls of Mansâ€" field, Stair, and Glasgow possess each five castles, vast and spacious edifices, the centres of splendid estates, which are to a considerable degree shut off from cultivation, and used as deer parks and hunting grounds. The in- come, probably, of every nobleman who has been named exceeds fifty thousand pounds; a majority of them would show revenues of one hundred thousand, and at least three of them, the Dukes of Westminster and Suth- erland and the Marquis ofBute, re- ceive annual incomes of more than three hundred thousand. Nor are the titled and hereditary aristocracy any longer the only great land-owners. In comparatively recent years the successful merchants, manufacturers, and bankers have been eager to secure what is called in England ‘-’ a stake in the country.” Again and again estates which have belonged to noble famiâ€" lies for centuries, and Whose entails have become exhausted, have been bought in by these parvenus, who in their turn have become lords of' the manor and masters of peasant com- munities. Still a third class oflanded proprietaries has been those of the church endowments. Thus we have three very powerful sources of social and financial power arrayed together to maintain the present condition of things, to keep the peasantrwhere he is, and to defend the laws of primoâ€" geniture and entail from attackâ€"the hereditary nobility, the .manuf'actur- ingr and banking princes, and the clergyâ€"Jfanacr’s Magazine. A reporter of the Baltimore Ameri- can thus describes one of the many processes of making shot in one of the shot towers 0t that city: One of the “ secrets ” of the manufacture is the mixing of the lead with a certain pro- portion of a combination of mineral substances called “temper.” The “temper” is fused with the lead, and gives the molten metal that consis- tency which makes it drop. If it were not for the “ temper " the lead would be molded by the sieve, and would form little pencils instead 01 round shot. When “BB” shot, for instance, are to be made, the lead is poured into a pan perforated with holes corresponding to the size. The little pellets come pouring down in a continuous shower, and fall into a tank filled with water on the ground floor. In their descent of two hunâ€" dred feet they are tolerany cool when they strike the water, although the swift concussions make the tank foam and bubble as if the water was boil- ing furiously. The shot must fall in water, for-if they should strike any firm substance, they would be flat- tened and knocked out of shape. To get the little pellets perfectly-dry after they have been in the “ well ” is the most difficult and troublesome process of the whole manufacture. An elevator with small bucket-s (very much like those used in flour mills) carries the shot up as fast as they reach the bottom of the “well” and deposits ‘ them in a box sixty feet above the first floor. The water drips from the buckets as they go up, and not much is poured into the receiver above, although it is intended to bea sort of dripping machine. From this receiver the shot runs down a spout into a drying pan, which greatly re- sembles a gigantic shoe, made of sheet iron. The pan rests at an angle which permits the wet shot to roll slowly slowly dew-n to the chamber below, and the pellets become perâ€" fectly dry as they pass over the warm sheet iron. The male frr seals can fast even leng- er than bears. They reach the breedâ€" ing islands the first of May, and leave about the middle of August. Each sel- ects a spot about ten feet square, and never leaves it, unless driven away by men or by a stranger seal, until the time for migration. During all this time he never eats nor drinks, but guards Bis wives and children with a watchâ€"care never relaxed. So, at least, the natives report, who have watched their habits for many years. How they managed to live and keep their strength is a mystery not easily explain- ed. But nature has made some previeâ€" ion for them, as they seem to fare? well. It is well, known that bears go with- out food for many weeks in the winter, wrapped in a long sleep. Hunters do not agree about their condition when they awake. Some say they are fat and in good order for the table ; others that they are lean and unfit for shoot- ing. '311t all agree that they sleep for weeks without caring for food. Im‘cxwmmo Nosrnums.r~Thc per» sons who have scruples of conscience against “perpendicular drinking ”.at tavern burs, can become blind drunk on almost any of,the advertised “ tonics ” or “ invigorants ” in half an hour. There is however one exception to this rule. Nobody can “ get over the bay” on VINEGAR BITTERS, for the simple reason that this famous renovating and regulating medicine contains no difliu- sivc stimulants of any kind. Yet its strength-reserving properties are mar- velous. It restores the relish for food when all other nppitizers fail ;-imparts unwonted vigor to the digestive funcâ€" tions ; regulates the flow of bile ; soothes the nervous system; promotes healthâ€" ful sleep ,'.a11d tends to produce that condition of body and brain, which is supposed to be most conducive to longeâ€" vity ' and the enjoyment of life. Its specific effects in acute and chronic dis- orders affectng the stomachthe bowels, the spine, the kidneys, the flesh fibre, the muscles and the lungs, are consid- ered by competent judges the most ex- traordinary medical phenomena of the age. Vinegar Bitters has now a larger sale them any of the spirituous astrin- gents, and. its immense popularity in a land Where the people observe closeâ€" 1y, test thoroughly, and not indopeir dently, is in itself a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the medicine. \Ve recommend it to all.

A Long Fast. “ We shall be, my dear madam,” said I to a fellowâ€"passenger in the Dieppe boat, taking out my watch, but keeping my eyes steadily upon her, “ we shall be in less than 10 minutes at the custom-house.” A spasmâ€"a flicker from the guilt withinâ€"glanced from her countenance. ‘ “ You look very goodâ€"natured, sir,” stammered she. “ If I was to tell you a secret, which is too much for me to keep myself, 0h ! would you keep it inviolable ?” “I know it, my dear madamâ€"«I know it already,” said I, smiling, “ it is lace, is it not ?” She uttered a little shriek, andâ€" yes, she had got it there among _the erinoline. She thought it had been sticking out, you see, unknown to her. I bowed, and looked considerably more so to invite her confidence. “Ob, sir,” cried she, “it is only £10 worth; please to forgive me, and I'll never do it again. As it is, I think I shall expire.” “ My dear madame,” replied I, sternly, but kindly, “ here is the pier, and the officer has fixed his eye upon us. I must do my duty.” I rushed up the ladder like a lamp- lighter; I pointed out the woman to a legitimate authority ; I accompanied her, upOn her way. in custody, to the searching-house. I did not see her searched, but I saw what was found upon her, and I saw her fined and dismissed with ignominy. Then, having generoust given up my emol- uments as informer to the subordinâ€" ate officials, I hurried 011‘ in search of the betrayed woman to her hotel. I gave her lace twice the value of‘that she lost, paid her fine, and explained : Furniture... .. . . .. . Accrued Interest . . . . . ‘ .

Walker’s California Vin- egar Bitters are a. purely Vegetable preparation; made chiefly from the 1m- tive herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of C(llifol'~ min, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without thc'use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked. “What is the cause of the uupu'alleled success of VINI-IGAR BIT- TENS i” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient re- covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a lifeâ€"giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigm-ater of the system. Never before in the histei‘y of the world has a medicine heen compounded possessing the rcnmrknble qualities of VINEGAR Bvrmus in heuliu_ the sick of every disease manis heir to. ‘hey are a gentle Pui'getive as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion 01' Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious Diseases ' Steam Engines, Boilers, Mean: Saw Mills, snarling, Pulleys, Hangers, Screw Stump Machines and General r ' Machinery I this firm are in many ma ects su erior to any other made in this country clng ms -lubricating throughout. and are remarkably powe ul, and ecoâ€" nomical on fuel as well as reasonable in price.

In their treatment, :1 purgntire, exerting n pow- erful influence upon Lhese various or- gans, is essentinlly necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to DR. J. WALKnn‘s VINEGAR BITTERS, as they will speedily remove the darkâ€" colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, zit the some time stimulating the seeretionsof the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. “- Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head- ache, l’ain in the Shoulders, Coughs, 'l‘ightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitaâ€" tation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regiOn of the Kid neys, and it hundred other painful symp- toms, are the oti'springs of Dyspepsia.
