No Whiskey! Brown's Iron BITTERS is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not com- posed mostly of alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemper- ance by promoting a desire for rum, Brown's IRON BITTERS is guaranteed to be a non- intoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time abso- lutely kill the desire for whiskey and other intoxi- cating beverages. Rev. G, W. RicE, editor of the American Christian Re- view, says of Brown's Iron Bitters: Cin., 0., Nov. 16, 1881. Gents :—The foolish wast- ing of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indul- gence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity; and if applicd, will save hun- dreds who resort to saloons for temporary recuperation. Brown's IRoN BITTERS has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, ili weakness, debil- work, rheumatism, consumption, kidney ity, ove neuralgia, liver complaints, troubles, &c., and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relief.

In all sges the masses have had holy terror for those persons who seemed possessed of supernatural power, and firmly belleved that they were linked to the devil by a wicked alllance, the maln featare of which was s covenant written in b'0>d by which an amblitlous man sagreed to give his soul to the old sfier s0 many of power. In ‘‘ye olden magioia were barbecued, and the colonial history of this coun- try recites many inatances where so- called witches were fired or roasted for the benefit of the community where they praoticed t elr supposed nefari ous schemes, KEven at this late day numberless persons believe that the devil Is f r-in-law of all maglcians, but there is money in the realms of necromancy for any man who s enough «f a genius to outwit the eyes of those who crowd to see him, The Republican reporter who rode out to the government printing office with Hermann yestcrday kept hiseyes peeled for the sulphurous flames that are eaid to poff forth from a magloian's noatrils every fifteen minutes, but discovered nothigg which led him to believe that Hermann was a peripatet- 1o plece of the hot hereatter. He found the prestidigitatuer a very gen- {sl gentleman, who had traveled the world over and remembered what he had seen. The conversation, whileon the jovrney, naturally turned to the black art. “I have been before the public for tweuty-five years,” sald Hermann, *“'and have glven exhibitions in every country on the globe. I know thou- sands of tricks which mystify people, but I am always studying now ones and improving the old ones. "’ “‘Some people firmly belleve that ycu are a relative of the devll, Have you ever mot any of them?"” '‘Oh, lots of 1imes, In fac', super- stitious people do not believe vhat the things they see me do are performed by sleight of hand During my re- cent tour in the South the negroes were particularly afraid of me, and 1 found 1t diffizult to get them to bring me my meals or wait on me."” Herrmann told many incidents con- nected with his career, and.speaking of his gold fish tricks said that next winter ho would produce four plobes filled with water and fish. Upon reaching the printing office the party, conslstivg of the magleten, Mr. W, H. Morton, Mr Romalne, and several newspaper men, were escorted throogh tho enormous establishment by Mr. James White, assistant foreman of the * | bindery, who explalned all the many depar.ments to the visiturs, The fact that Herrmacn was In the building soon spread among the employes, and at every turn olasters of persons re- garded hm curiously. He played jokes innumerablo upon the women. [u the bullding the party stopped to watch w girl who wae rapidly count- Ing money order blanks, Hermann leaned forward and said: “You should be more carefal of wmoney.” “0Oa. sir, theee are blanks. " “‘Oh, no,” eaid Hermann, *‘just look st the movey,” and wukmg up a few of the blarks he shovk them and a shower of §20 ¢ '\n 'ces tell on the bewildered wom work Going tnto th okbinding portion of the rocm he intently watched a man who was deftly lettoring the back of & bock. i “‘Why don’t you keep your money somewhere elae!’ ho asked .he man, ““Where should I keep it, but in my pocket!" was the reply. “In your pocket, noneenee,” sald Herrmann, and picking up the book ha took several $100 bills from be- tween the pages. The letterer was al- modt stupefied,and as the party moved on he murmured: *‘Well, If that don't beat the dick- ens.” Another binder’'s lump ef rubber disappeared, and Herrmann found it in “Sub Rosa” Murray's hat. All through the buoilding he amused the employes with his tricks. In the fold- iog room ke tound a gold watch in a bouquet of flowers on a young lady's table, and paralyzed a colored messen- ger by drawing a roll of greenbacks out of his beard. He apparently ohanged a sheet of drawing paper fnto a thousand dollar bond, and then as qulckly ochanged it back, Saveral old ladles crossed themselves devoutly as Herrmann passed by them, and some colored men were seen to shake their heads, as they muttered something about ‘‘the debbll,” After thoroughly ex- smining the bullding, and giving the employes a semi-holiday, the party re- turned to Willlard's, where, upon get- ing out of the carriage, the driver was nonplussed by seeing his dark-haired passenger dellberately pull the dust robe out of a hole in the lamp post, and then coolly discover several hun- dred dollars In if not monoy, only ry W. R. Prentice, an old New York soldler, recalls the following Interest- ing reminiscences of the old military prisen, In a letter to the San Franclsco Balletin: It happened to be my fortune also to be sent to the ‘‘Dry Tortugas" soon after Dr, Muodd, though I had the good fortune to be relleved from duty somewhat sooner, The place Is a queer ona and has seldom been de- scribed. The Dry Tortugas (the word, I belleve, means tartles) em- brace a group of several small coral islands, or keys, lylng in the gulf of Mexico, 120 miles west from the southern point of Florida. The larg- est embraces only a few acree; they are destitute of tresh water, and bar- ren with the exception of a few small mangrove aud cedar trees. They were a part of the Florlda purchases, and a fort was commenced on Garden Key, ove of the larger, by the Spantards. It is now a first class brick fort, with two tlers of casemeuts and mounts more than 300 guns, Daring the war it was used as & military prison, and many a poor fellow, after a court mar- tial, heard the words: ‘‘Sentenced to the dry tortugas for life,”” These had accumulated tlll, in the autumn of 1866, more than 300 men of al' na- tlonalities and all colors, wera gath- ered there, and for all crimes, from some hasty word, most likel: true, THE DPATLY BeE--OMAHA THURSDAY MAY 3 sald to a subaltern officer, up to rob- bery and attempted murder. Oar guard consisted of only about 200 men, and there was plenty of work for us to do. The records had been but Imperfectly kept, and the term of sentence of some prisoners had long before expired. These were hunted out and sent home first. Then 100 or more of the better men were recommended for pardon, which ‘was freely granted by President Johnson, for he was In a pardoning mood at that time. Bat the main Interest cen- tered around the four consplrators, Mudd, Arnold, Spangler and O'Lough- lln, They were supposed to be terrl ble fellows, ready to cat all our throats any tlme on a ment's notlce. Dr. Muada was the oentral figure. He was a fair haired man of good slze and rather prepossessing appearance. His one, all-absorbing thought was that he was the viotim of great injustice, and whenever he counld gain a listen- ing ear, Into It he always poured his griefs. Ho was detalled as general nurse in the hospital, and did good service there, till in an evil hour he attempted to escape by secreting him. self on board a steamer. Of course he was found, sent back in dlsgrace, and afterward kept in solitary confine- ment, Arnold was a young man, not more than 24 or 256, handsome, highly educated and refined snd retiring in his manners, He esald little, never complained, bat felt his dis- grace most keerly, He was kept as a olork in the provost marshal's office, and many & desoription or muster-out roll In his beautifal handwriting went to Washington, He had the ability, and ought, to day, to be taking good care of himself somewhere. Spangler, the stage carpenter of Ford's theatre, was a jolly Datchman, and, to all ap- pearance, as happy there as mortal man ever 8. How well I remember his portly form, bustling about at his work, the happlest looking man in the fort. Lastly was poor O'Loughlin, an Irishman, I think a shoemaker by trade. He had left a family in Washiogton, and could not bear up under his punishment. He drooped from the day he reached the place, and dled soon after I left. I have to.day a letter from Mudd and and one from Arnold, written after I had left the service, asklng my ald In procuring some mitigation of thelr punishment. While I did not then mittance reap any benefit from besuty, from wit, or from the possession of any of those charms now so highly prized. The plalnest and fairest were treated allke. For partners were ohosen by lot and were partners for the evening, They danced, walked and flirted with no one el when the dancing waa over, pntool together of rusks and tea, The next evenlng the gentlemen came to sup with the parents of the young woman who had fallen to his lot at the assem- bly, an event which was made the oc- caslon for a great dlsplay of plate, of ohlna and of ceremony. Many of the table manners in vogue have fallen Into disuse and been utter mo- | ly forgotten, but one has been pre- served for us by an anecdote th worth citing. It would, it seems been thought as rude for the guest to refuse to partake of a dish a fourth or fifth time, if asked so to do, as it would have been thought negligent in the hostess to omit to press him. Taere seemed, therefore, to be no llmit to the number f times the Iady of the house was constralued to ask and the namber of times the visitor was con- strained to moccept. But, happily, there was in use a kind of Freemason- ry signals by which he conveyed by the position of his plate, by the ar- rangement of his knife and fork, by the way in which he disposed of his spoon, his wish not to be invited to be sancers of jam. This custom sorely puzzled the uninitiated and gave rise to many amausing Incldents, one of which happened to the prince de Broglle. The prince, who traveled in his lotters that he was invited to dine with the lacy of Robert Morrls; that he weat; that he was repeatedly usked to have his cup refilled; that he con- sented, and that when he had swal- lowed the 12:h cup of tea his nelghber whispered in his ear and told him when he had had enough of the water dlet he should place his spoon across his cup, else his hostess would go on urging him to drink tea till the crack of doom, A bottle of Samaritan Nervine en— ables one to defy asthma, nervousness and general debllity.

The aanufacture of billlard balls plty them as I did the more than 160 soldiers sent there for the most trifling breaches of military law, I can still see how they were all, perhaps, more unfortunate than criminal, 0Old Philadelphia. Prof. McMaster, of Princeton, in : | hls new)y published ‘‘Hlistory of the People of the United States,” gives an interesting plcture of life In Pailadel- phia at the perlod immedlately follow- ing the revolutionary war. The olty was thea the greatest in the country. No other could boast of so many streets, so manry houses, 20 many peo- ple, 8o much renown, There had been mado the diecoverles which carried the name of Franklin to the remotest spots of the civllized world. There had been put forth the declaration of independence. There had long been held the deliberatlons of congress No other cliy was so rich, ro extrava- gant, so fashlonable, Seven yesrs before Lee had described the place as an attractive ecene of amusement and debauch, Loval had called it a place of crucifylog expenses. And this rep- utatfon s stiil maintained, Bat the features that most impressed travelers from distent lacds were the fineness of the houses, the gooduess of the pavements, the filthiness of the car- riage-ways, the regular arrangement of the streets and the singnlar custom f numbering some and gtving to vth— era the names of forest trees. One of these, Chestnut, long since given up to the demands of commerce and lined with banke, with warehouses and with shope, was the fashionable walk, There every fine day, when business was over, when the bank was closed, when the exchange was de- serted, crowds of pleasure eeekers gathered to enjoy the air and dlsplay thelr rich clothes. If the dress that has displaced the garb of that perlod be less tasteful it must be owned it is at least more convenlent. A gentle- man of the last century, if he were a man of fashion or of means, wore a three-cornered cocked hat heavily aced. His hair was done up In a cue and {ts natural shade concealed by a profasion of powder. His coat was light-colored, with diminutive cape, marvelously long back and siver bat- tons engraved with the letters of his name, His small clothes came scarce to his knees; his stockings were striped; his shoes pointed and adorned with huge buckles; his vest had tap- ockets; his cuffs were loaded with ead, If he were so happy as to have seen some service during the war he affected a military bearing and had mauch to say of campalgns. When he bowed to the damsels that passed him he took half the sidewalk as he flour- ished his cane and scraped his foot. Nor does the dress of the lady, as she gravely returned his uluutlon and courtesled almost to the earth, seem less strange to us, Those were the days of gorgeous brocades and taffetas, luxurlantly displayed over cumbrous hoops, which, flattened be- fore and behind, ltood out for two feet on each slde; of tower-bullt hats, adorned with tall featker of calash and musk melon bonnetas; of high wooden heels, fanclfully cut; with gowns with- out fronts; of fine satin petticoats, and of implanted teeth. This singular custom had but lately been brought in by one La Mayeur, and had rapidly become fashionable. Ls Mayeur called himself a doctor, advertised his bueiness extensively, was largely pat- ronized by the ladles, and, at the end of a few months, went off, it was be- lieved, with & small fortune, Oune of his advertisements {8 yet extant. In it he announces to the people of Phila- delphia that his business 1s to trans- plant teeth; that he has, within the six munthu just passed, successfully transplanted 123, and assures those having frent tooth for salo that he will glve two guiness for every scund one brovght him, The drearlness of winter evenlngs was,broken by danclng assemblies and plays. The assemblies were of fort- mghtly occurrence and very select, The price of aseason ticket was £3 15, But it was thought highly improper that divertisements of this kind should from cellalold and bonsilate is a pecu- llar Industry from the fact that the only factory of the kind in the world {s in this city. A 1arge proportion cf the balls now made are of cellulold, bat only for the reason that the ma- chinery i~ not as well adapted to the manaofacture of bonsilate balls, The time wi'l come, however, when all balls will be made of the latter material. The cellulold, which is recelved in large white sheets, is first cut into small square pleces about five-eighths of an inch in size, These are placed int> moulas, previously heated by steam to the proper temperature. They are then placed in the hydraulic presses, and with a pressare of from 1,500 to 2,000 pounds to the equare inch are roughly moulded, heat at the same time belng applied. 'The various posl- tlons of the blocks in the mould give the ball the pecullar mottled appear- snce when finlshed. Experiments have been made by grinding the cellu- loid to & powder, and using 1t in that form, but nothing has succeeded so well as the present method, After belng taken from the moulds, the balls are turned abaclately spherical, by an exceedingly ingenfous device. The procesa in the manufactare of bonsilate balls are qulte different in many respects. The material placed in the moun'ds in powder, and the balls, aiter belng roughly pressed up, contilerably larger than the re- quired sizo, are covered with rubber and tin fofl, to prevent the material from belng injured by water, and are then placed under water pressure. By means of this, which is the only ma- chine of the kind in exlstence, the balls are placed under a pressure of from 3,000to 4,000 pounds tothe square be attended by young men under 20 or young women under 18. Th were therefore rigorously excinded. Nor did such damsels as found ad-. inch. The water touching the ball at every polnt, and the pressure being equally transmitted the result is a perfeotly pressed sphere of just the same speolfic gravity in one spot as in another. Without this apparatus the succeasfal manufacture of billiard balls from bonislate would have been im- possible, simple but ingenious con- trivance is also employed to ascertain when the balls are perfaotly polsed or balanced. They are first welghed and are then cury. This subtle fluld detects the alightest shade of Inacouracy, and the balls are put in the lathe and correct- ed untll they are absolutely trune, Nou only billiar balls are made. The prices at which they are sold are far below those charged for ivory, ranging from $5.50 to $13.60 per set of four balls for bil. llards, and from $26 to $50 per set of sixteen balls for pool. THE BAD AND WORTHLESS Are never imitated or counterfeited, This {s especially true of a family medlelne, and it 1s positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value, As soon aa it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth many Imitatlons sprung up and begon to steal the notfces in which the press and people of the country had expressed the merits of H. B, and in every way trying to induce suf- ferlng invalids to us> their stoft In- stead, exfecting to make money on the credlt and good name of H, B, Many others started nostrams pat up in similar style to H.
