Sewing Frig.
It seemed quite Improbable that a novice

satisfactorily, The fur was heavy and
slipped through my Angera in euoh a pro
yoking manner that I telt tempted to wear

and I. felt sure that very little altering
would make the coat almost as good as
new,eo I gathered my wits togethorandsoon
found away out of the dilemma. I sum
deeded so well that I made up my mind to
inetrnot ethers in the art,
Wherever the fur into be cub it must bo
marked on the skin aide with chalk. not
lobbing it out quite through at first, and
then pull the pieces apart, finishing the
cub very delicately so as not to eggoil the
fur. On no account must scissors be used
as they will cut the fur on tho outside i
spite of the greatest precaution. When 1

ahould be laid fur side down on a boar
and the seam again moistened, and prase
flat by rubbing it with a shell or coin
other smooth -surface artic'e. If done eh)
way no seam is visible on the 'outside an

Ono heavy garment of any kind is not

Another advantage of thin woolen gar-

advantage greatly, and wear two of three
light overcoats, instead of one heavy one in
severely cold weather. When a thew Domes

America. In the latter countries they are
quite destructive, often destroying large
trees, and their depredations have to be
guarded against by means of woollen fillets
wound about the trunks of the trees. Many
notions, wholly without foundation, seem
to bo current concerning those strange little
poste. Their method of operation, so far as

strip only the smaller trees and shrubs. The
leaves are not cut into diso shaped pieces,
commonly supposed, but in any forte that

facilitate progress to and from the leaf•

or clear broad, smooth roads, often as much
as 2110 yards in length and from six to eight
inches broad. These roads display consider-
able engineering skill, abounding in curves,
grades, and even tunnels. The leaf cutters
seem to be the most -industrious of all the
ant family ; big, little, old, and young
seeming to be animated with an almost in.

Four British shipmasters, who were look-
ed up in Buenos Ayres for laughing at the
National Guard of the Argentine Republic,
are bound from Philadelphia to present
claims to the British ambassador at Wash•
ington for damages for illegal arrests.
Capt. Starrett, of the Nova Scotian bark
Luaroa, arrived in Philadelphia ou Tuesday
from the Argentine Republic via Pernam•
buoo. He was at Bnenee Ayres during the
political troubles, and was accompanied by
Capt. Staling,of the bark Savona; Robbins,
of tho bark Ardanmere, all of which vessels
sail under British ooloro and are manned by
seamen of the same nationality.
While the vessels wore discharging their
cargoes into lighters in the River de la
Plata, off Buenos Ayres, these captains de-
cided to spend an evening at a roller ekat•
ing rink in the town. The visitors enjoyed
a jolly laugh, on their way back to the vea•
eels on a street car, at the antics of the na-
tive skatere,mainly military men, and were
astonished to be arrested therefor on the
specific, charge of "unbecoming lade of
dignity," preferred by the prefect of police.
The official charged them with making
fun of the army,and met them into a prieou,
cold and damp and full of political offenders.
The prisoners were kept there that night
and all the next day, despite the fact that
they had passports from the British son-
etl.
British Vice Consul Gentling undertook
to secure their release, and it was only by a
threat to send for tate British minister at
Montevideo, who had several English gun-
boats at his command, that the men were
given their freedom. They all expect, to

The Most Astonishing Medical. Discovery of

It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar:,
It Is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk.
This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced
into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great'
South American Norvino Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative
agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians,
who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the
general public.
This medicine has completely soly. )the problem of the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is
also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from
whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities
which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive
organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares
with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength,
ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of et.
broken-down constitution, It is also of more real permanent value in
the treatment end cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption.

N ,i . > V is ITS [* ISE SESO
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been
Ale to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human.
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
tion. When there is au insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weakuesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain
ontain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon tho nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous 4e-
raneement.
