Persons leaving the city for the summer can have The Express mailed to them by leaving their address in the business office.

Tho oyster and drama are now ready to resume business at the old stand.

De Lesseps declined a dinner at the hands of some French admirers. Corporatisns don't seem to bo as grasping JIB represented.

The Chicago Journal thinks it a mistake not to send the best men to Congress. Well, you might try it on in Ciiicago for a change."

It is respectfully suggested by a timid observer that before Oscar "Wilde writes a book against American manners he should learn to keep his finger nails clean.

Mrs. John "Brown should borrow Jay Nubbell's assessment circular when she starts.for Chicago. Her haul there the other niglvt footed up the princely stun of $211'.

The name of Ephenetus Ilowe, who is the Greenback candidate for Governor of New York was too much for the telegraphers. After various troubles along the tho line, it landed in Omaha as "E. Pontius Horse."

W. C. Depaw, the great manufacturer, of New Albany, Ind., offers to give $1,000,000 to Asbury University on condition that a like sum be raised by tho other Methodists of the State.

Maine has more parties than any State in the Union. There are tho He publicans, Independent Republicans, Fusionists, Straight-out Democrats, Straight-out Greenbackers and Prohibitionists.

Grccn.B. Raum claims that the Republicans will carry Maine bv 5,000. Mr. Raum has a great many clerks under him in the Treasury Department, and—we presume they have figured it out.

Tho Virginia editor is again called £upon to avenge his "lionah" on the chivulvie field. If some of those superior blacklegs down Uuit way oonltl cii-iffc into tho habit of minding their own business they woulen't be so much annoyed by the condition of their "honah."

Italy once granted tho sum of 15,000,000 lire to Pius IX., which that ecclesiastic declined with thanks. And now comes the cheek of it. His heirs have sued for the amount. The courts decide that, as the Pope never took it, he never had it. The heirs should get themselves attached to the next river and harbor bill.

Since the days of Ncckar, the great financier who pulled France out of the slough of a money despond, that country has been blessed with a superior financial system. No doubt an intense national feeling was at the bottom of the astonishing speed with which the people paid off the indemnity of the Franco-Prussian war. But France is in serious trouble now. It lias become remarkably extravagant. The tax-gatherer calls around frequently, and the burdens which he imposes become daily harder to bear. The people protest, but in vain. The expenses of the government for the comingyear amount^ to $1,000,000,000, or two .If times as much as the cost of our government, with a larger population hero and an almost infinitely vaster expanse of country. The French taxes amount to about $30 per head of the population, or say $150 for the average family. The debt of France has steadily increased under the republic, and now amounts to $4,000,000,000, or double ours, and the interest charge is $150,000,000 a year.

In Malaga, that sunny land of the grape and vino, and pretty girls and lazy men, Mr. Geo. Lathrop, the well known writer, has been spending his summer says, and one of the curious things he gazed at was a Gypsy dance. \fter the preliminaries of enticing the beauty into the ring have been accomplished, she gets up smiling half scornfully alight comes into her eyes she throws her hand back, and her face is suffused with an expression of daring, of energy, and strange pfido There seems to creep over tho woman at that instant a reminiscence of far-ofl and mysterious things her face, partially lifted, seems to catch the light of old traditions, and to be imbued with the spirit of something belonging to the past which she is about to revive. By degrees the dancer, who begins with a slow, intensely earnest and sinuous movement, becomes more itn passioned, but in no way violent. Her body does not more above tho hips It is only the legs that twist and turn and bend and stamp, as if one electric shock after another were being sent downward through them. Every few minutes her activity passes by some scarcely noted gradation into a subtly new phase, but all these phases ire bound together by a certain uniformity of restraint and fixed law. Now she almost comes to a stand-still, and then you notice a quivering, snakey, shuddering motion, beginning at the shoulders and flowing down through her wholo body, wave upon wave, the dress drawn tighter with one hand showing that this continues downward to her feet. Is she a Lamia in act of undergoing metamorphosis, a serpent, or a woman? The next moment she is dancing, receding—this timo with smiles and withjan indiscribable air of invitation in the tossing of her arms. But the crowning achievement is when tho hips begin to sway too, and, while sho is going back and forward, execute a rotary movement like that of a bent part of an auger. In fact, you expect her to bore herseif through the floor, and disappear. Then all at once the stamping and clapping and the twanging strings are stopped, and she ceases her formal gyrations she walks back to her seat like one liberated from a spell and the whole thing is over.

It is not often these religious editors take the political shoot, but when they do they sometimes plant their feet down on some hard pan facts. The Christian Union wants to know what divides parties. "Negro education?" it asks. 'Governor Brown, of Georgia advocates National appropriations for education irrespective of race or color, and tho New York Tribune "founded by Horace Greely,," condemns £them. Protection? Senator Voorhees is a rabid protectionist. Henry Ward Beechor, a Stalwart Republican, is a free trader- Economy? The Democratic Ex-Speaker and the Republican President strike hands in opposing the river and harbor steal, and Democrats'and Republicans strike hands in carrying it through in spite of the protests of the one and veto of tho other. Civil service reform? Republicans vie with Democrats in refusing to a Republican President tho appropriation which he asks for its promotion. Currency? Greenback Republicans from tho West vote against the bank charters, and hard money Democrats from tho East vote for them. The Chinese question Republican leaders lay up the wall to exclude the Chinese, and Democratic laborers carry stone to build it with. It would be difficult to mention a single National issue of importance upon which the Republicans vote on one side of the House and the Democrats upon the other."

If our esteemed friend of the Christian Union would favor Indiana with a visit he would find the Democratic ranks all broken up over the question of submission, and the Republican ranks holding firm as a rock. There's sorne"Iun in having oq issue of that sort on hand.:

THE GOOD OLD WAY.

No sane man expects that people will manage, in our day and generation, to reach these ripe old ages we read of in Revolutionary times, when Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Marshall and scores of others less prominent reached an almost patriarchal prime. The women of that period carried about with them the same mellow age and seemed rather to sink robustly into the grave than to tremble on its verge. But, semi-occasionally, one can point to a shining exception. At Bakersville, Coshocton county, Ohio, there is now living a lady one hundred and seven years old. She antedates tho Declaration of Independence. Her name is Mrs. Catharine Albert her maiden name wa3 Cutshell. She was born in Reading, Pa., in 1775. Married at twenty-five years, her husband died at eighty-two, and her oldest child is now eighty years. The old lady, until a year past, could "dry" five bushels of apples without aid. At that time' she took to her bed, and is now living on pap prepared from miHc, a return to infant diet. There are small chances in these days of women reaching even a "hundred years, much less seven added to that number. Corsets, highheeled shoes, want of exercise, degenerate the sex. A woman now will hot walk five blocks when she can ride on a street car, and she would think it madness to walk fi"" —:1~" „ngtne can bearjier to the next station.

Late hours and late suppers are other fruitful causes of the brevity of woman's life. If to these she adds beer instead of water or the light, pure wines ofj} tho old days,. her life is shortened by Bright's disease. As a mother such a woman is a failure, for she entails upon hei offspring a weak and diseased physique. The late improvements in travel, too, causes shortness of life. Railroad cars, if frequently used, shake the nervous system, and elevated railroads will do more damage to the drum of the ear, by noise and to-tho throat and lungs by cinders, together by loud talking at home to be heard above the din, than any one can possibly conceive. Our latter-day forces are spent fast in an effort to keep pace with the times, and hereafter life, instead of being lengthened, will be much abridged. In the olden time men and women were hale and hearty at the age of seventy, but forty is now the general end of vigor. There are exceptional cases of men whose brain power keeps brain and body intact to a considerable ago. But these exceptiens but prove the melancholly general rule. Mrs. Albert's longevity is due to having lived in rural districts and having pursued the course of the women of the days when sho was agirl.

We learn fliat Secretary Lincoln is making himself unpopular with a certain class of young army officers at Washington by ordering them off to posts of actual duty. These fellows, who manage through the intervention of influential friends, to be assigned to ornamental service, are the delight of social circles in Washington, and the admiration of all the young ladies, and they find it pleasanter to hang around the capitol than to chase hostile savages on the Western frontier, The Secretary will earn the thanks of the country if he goes ahead and tears that whole AVashington ring up by the roots. It is born in outrageous favoritism and fed on the nourishment of influence, with no regard to personal merit. Why should one man be allowed to rough it the year round on hops #nd Germans and champagne, while his superior has headquarters in the saddle on the plains?

By degrees we're getting this Egyptian dispatch business down to a fine point. A Shell fired by the enemy the other day is said to have passed within a few feet of Sir Garnet Wolseley's head and then taken off the leg of a horse only a few yards behind him. A stickler for accuracy has been ciphering over the story. Allowing that the head of the gentleman on horseback was nine feet from tho Q.vunti| UJML cue sneu passeu uireu feet higher, and that tho horse's leg was struck two feet from the ground, tho trajectory of the shell would show a fall of ten feet in a flight of thirty feet. Calculating the speed of the shell from these data, it will be found that it required five-eights of a second to travel thirty feet, a velocity insufficient to take off the horse's leg.

It should be remembered that the Suez Canal is dug through a sandy wasto and brackbush lakes, where the only drinking water for man or beast is supplied by the fresh-water canal flowing from the Nile, whose fortunes are the subject of endless allusion in the dispatches upon the operations at Ismailia. So far its supply of water, while diminished, has not been interrupted, but it must bo a mere question of time when it is cut off. As the canal is fifty-four feet broad at the surface, averages seven feet in depth and is twenty-six feet broad at the bottom, its prism convoys a large supply of water with sufficient rapidity to need regulation by. locks, and the section of several miles just seized by Sir Garnet Wolseley affords a very considerable supply.

Wo pre abaut to have serious complications with China. It is said that when the two hundred Chinese students at New Haven and Hartford returned to thoir own country, where kissing is an unknown art, they didn't know how to saluto their mamas. They had been taught the demoralizing kiss by the fair sirens of Connecticut, and rather took kindly to the patent, but they dared not work it on their mothers and relations at home. We trust this little difficulty can be arranged quietlv without dragging the Yankee girls into the witness box. because our native young gentlemen who wear tight pants and part their hair in the middle might feel hurt to find out which of the girls had been giving lessons to their saffron Celestial friends.

Mrs. Ewing, a Cnicago lcctureron cookory, says that a chicken requires one hour of stewing for every year of its life. At last the secret has been discovered why boarding-house chicken which is to be served at 6 o'clock in the evening Is usually put on the lire very early in the morning.

Easy to Find Him.

A real estate agent of Fargo, D. T., in his advertisement, gives parties who may want to do business with him this Information: "I can be found either at the gold mlno playing 'freeze out,' at Mitchell's Exchange betting on the age of 'old hosses' with Brown, or at my resldenco on Oak street perusing tho Scriptures."

The Horrid Thing!

Clinton Herald. Wo are sorry td learn that one of Clinton's long-tongued,female gossip mongers has been plying her vocation in Terre Ilaute defaming the character of her neighbor, and in doing MO ignored all regard for truth. And it would bo akIiard matter to make those who listened to the viper-tongued varment, believe that thero is a respectable family living in Clinton. What a great pity it is that more peoplo were not born deaf and dumb.

St. Louis Republican. A boautlful floral offering at the recent funeral of a Harvard student, sent by the classmates of the deceased, bore the letters S. Y. L. No ono understood their significance, but naturally they were supposed to indicate some noble sentiment In classic or modern phrase. A friend whose curiosity was great finally asked their meaning of one of the students. "Why, 'See you later,' of course," was the unstvur*

The Festive Oyster.

N. Y. Ho raid. The consumption of this succulent bivalve is said to be largely on the Increase. The trade to tho West and tho export to F.urope increases every year. The smaller oysters are shipped to Europe, and the dealers report that the demand is growing here for tho smaller sizes. Some of the dealers 6ay that there are about forey wholesale oyster houses in this city, employing at a rough estimate 4,000 persons aud3,COO retailers, employing 12,000 more. From 5,000 to 6,000 of these are regular oyster oponers. One is regarded as a firstclass band who can open from 3,000 to 5,000 a day, but some of the more expert reach 6,000. Tho oyster season, although by tho books opening on the 1st of September, is not regarded by tho dealers as fully opened until the 15th.

Detroit Ignoranoe.

Detroit Free Press. The proprietor of a Woodward avenue store, which had been finely dec orated in honor of tho Knights of Pythias, was at the door yesterday, when an old man lounghed up and began "Such ignorance I never saw in all my life! You see that man there—the one with the white hat on •'Yes." "Well, he was having a good deal to say, and I asked himwno Pythias was. Would you believe it, ho couldn't answer ne "C-couldn't he?" stammered the citizen. "No, sir, he couldn't. Think of such ignorance in this enlightened age! When I told him who Pythias was ne called me a liar. Now, I want to prove that I'm right. You come over and tell him all about it." "But I—I can't leave." "Then I'll bring him over here." "No, you needn't—I'm busy." "I see you are, but when a man calls me a liar I want to prove that I ain't. I'll have him over in a minute."

He hadn't crossed the street before the merchant slid into the store and hurried up stairs to keep out of sight for an hour, and it was only after he was certain that the old man had de parted that he slipped down and consulted Webster's dictionary to find out whether Pythias was a town, a man, or a temple on a hill.

TARANTULAS .FIGHTING.

The Remarkable Uattle of Spiders Hint Lasted Six Hours. Donvor Tribune.

Among other curiosities brought here were two huge Arizona tarantulas, both of which were full grown. One was the brown, and the other of the black variety. The brown fellow was caged in a common cigar box, and the black one in a glass jar. As they could not bo exhibited to advantage in contrivances of this kind, and as they were not very pleasant company to have running around loose, a box almost two feet square, with a glass top, was procured, on the bottom of which a layer of sand was spread to make the animals feel at home. The cover wag then drawn, and the two spiders pitched into it from their separate cages.

No sooner did the one discover the other's presence than they rushed at each other as viciously as two panthers, and immediately closed in deadly embrace. They came together with a bound, and then twining their long, hairy legs about each other rolled over and over in the sand, biting each other savagely, and then tugging with all their mighJ, as if endeavoring to crush each other by sheer muscular power. Incredible as it may seem, this sort of warfare was kept up for six hours, during most of which time it could not be seen that either was gaining the slightest advantage, as neither showed

any sign of disposition to end the fight by the death of his adversary. At last the black one succumbed, and rolled over dead on the sand, while the victor immediately proceeded to reap the spoils of his long battle.

Seizing his vanquished enemy in his stout horns or pinchers, or whatever contrivance he has for that purpose, he rapidly tore him limb from limb and coolly proceeded in true canibalistic style to make a meal of him. In a very short time nothing was left but a little pile of legs and pieces of shell to mark the spot where one tarantula had fallen ana another had dined.

Close of the Dulness In Trade and Lively Prospects Ahead—Chapter on Bags— Remarkable Career of a Journalistic

Business Woman in Now York—Her Pluck nnd ChariMes. Special Correspondence of tho Express, Summer Travel—Tho Season an«l Trade.

Naw YORK, Sept. i, 1882.

Nobody can tell how many people leave New York to live in the country during the heated term but the num1 er is certainly a very large one. Yet a'look at thq street, the stores and the shops of the great city convinces you that the population has not been at all diminished, although the crowd of incoming and outgoing steamboats and railroad trains every morning and evening bears witness to the fact that the regular increase of temporary residents is very great. The superintendent of the elevated railroad sajs that travel on these roads falls off so'much during the summer months that ho is obliged to discharge 500 train hands who are employed during the winter. The slack time is between the beginning of June to the middle of September but, unless appearances are deceiving, that period will close two weeks earlier. Large numbers of people .who have been at the seaside and in tho mountains for several months are now hurrying back to the city, and the prospect is that before many days the hotels will be crowded with Western and Southern buyers and that our merchants in every branch of trade will have their hands full of business long before the opening of the autumn season as prescribed in the almanac. That trade will be heavy this fall there can be no doubt, and, according to the best judges, the winter trade bids fair to be better than ever before in the history of New York. y. ltiigs.

Bags arc not pleasant things to look at, especially when they compose the garments in which a fellow mortal is enfolded. His looped and windowed wretchedness is something that disturbes the current of restlietic thought and diverts it into a diluvian channel of mental recklessness, much like an afternoon nightmare. Yet rags are of great importance in the worlds economy. The prudent house wife hoards them for purposes of barter and for inexpensive quilts and also for patches. While a needed stitch has, many a time saved countless other stitches, how oft have we seen a patch save the price of a pair of breech-trousers! Then of rags we make paper and think of the millions of reams we use every year on which to write and print the various combinations of which the alphabet is capable. In New York alone we expend $30,000,000 every year for rags, the business on one street, in Worth street, reaching $2,000,000. There are 2,000 rag-pickers in this great city, the most of whom are Italians, the, descendants of the Ctesars, the Catalines, the Ciceros and the other great calethumpians of ancient Rome. These industrious but extremely lilthy souls of noble sires, take nearly $1,000,000 worth of rags annually from our gutters and ash-bar-rels. They dress in rags and not putting too line a point upon it, they live on rags. What they pick up they sell from one to three cents a pound and for the better grades ot woolen rags they receive as high as twenty cents. While Boston imports a greatquantity of cotton rags, the bulk of the trade is in New York and here we have a number of heavy capitalists who owe their success in ltfe to a careful use of what their less thrifty neighbors have thrown away. One of them is building in the upper part of the city a magnificent mansion which will cost nearly $160,000. It has already been christened the "Ragman's Palace." It will not be so grand as the house that Vander-bilt but the owner will liavo the satisfaction of knowing that while his is built on rags, the other was erected on greenbacks, which is only rags in a new form after all.

A Woman's Pluck and Perseverance. Visitors to New York rarely fail to spend a few minutes of their time in Printing House Square to admire the Times building, to wonder at the disproportion between the Tribune building and its insignificant next neighbor from which tho Sun is published, and to cast admiring glances at the statue of Ben Franklin. A hundred yards northeast of the statue, the Staats-Zei-tung is edited and printed in a building occupying the site of what was once the "country residence of New York's earliest oyernors—Geo. Tryon. This handsome and stately structure, built of white granite, is a monument to -the courage, common sense and indomitable perseverance of German lady, whose husband died several years ago, leaving her a little newspaper aud afamilv of six children She was offered $500 for the paper, but would not sell. The editor who had been in her husband's employ, agreed to continue at his post, and as he was well fitted for his work and was not interfered with in the manage-

lage

ment of tho editorial department, the little journal began to make money. Its circulation among the Germans increased very rapidly and the widow found herself growing rich. Fearing that she might lose the young man who had been so useful in advancing her fortune, she married him. At his suggestion a few years ago, the present Staats-Zeitung building was erected at a cost of $300,000. The paper is now one of the most valuable properties in the country and Oswald Ottendorfer, still its editor-in-chief is one of the leaders of the Germans in New York, in all political movements. Mrs. Ottendorfer has educated and settled in life all her children but has not yet relinquished the business control of the Staats-Zeitung.

Every morning at 10 o'clock she is to be seen in the publication office, attending to the finances, making contracts for printing paper or presses and giving orders as to the employment or the dis charge of help in the mechanical departments. Every year shegives away large amounts of money in societies and one of her noblest works in this direction is a "home" for old women on which she has already expended more than $50,000. ^Shavings.

That city employs 500 firemen for an area of 121 square miles, while New York with an area of 41} square miles, has an effective force of 600 men.

tniah O'Donovan Rossa, ugly names, because he and a few fellow-patriots fail to account for a paltry $90,000 which the industrious Bridgets of the land of their adoption have subscribed for the destruction of Great Britain.

,3't "Dare-Devil Dan." New York Critic. "Dare-Devil Dan, the Young Prairie Ranger or, Old Rosebud's Boy Brigade. A Romance of the Upper Cheyenne." By Oil Combs, author of "The Dumb Spy," "Keen Knife," "Lasso Jack, The Border King," etc.

It -lay in a desk in the Critic onice. It was thumbed, dog's-eared, annotated. Grave tomes stood on the shelves around it: essays on jurisprudence, treatises on natural religion. Through tho room where it reposed, the room which witnesses tho fortnightly birth of "the best literary journal of this country" (see Opinions of the Presf), passed poets, essayists, philosophers. Learned conversations were held on all sides of it shafts of wit played lambent over it. And it lay unsuspected in a desk, thumbed,dog's-eared, annotated—"Dare-Devil Dan, the Young Prairie Ranger."

He that owned it was a boy. He was the messenger of our establishment, the Mercury of our Olvmpus. Winged were his sandals swift was he of foot. His functions were to carry tho book to the reviewer, tho proof to the author or, perchance, to gather the tribute due from mortals to the gods. In tho intervals of his labors, secludinghitnselfin a cloud, he thumbed, ho dog's-eared, and he annotated "Dare-Devil Dan, the Young Prairie Ranger." One morning he disappeared, but in a week came back with sorrowful countenance, saying ho had been astray. Once again he disappeared, and we learned that the police had pounced on him. A third time he disappeared, and that was the end of him. Where is he now? Is he a Ranger on the Upper Cheyenne Has he joined Old Rosebud's Boy Brigade? His place in Olympus knows him no more. He has fallen like Ixion, whirled into the nethermost abyss.

We commend our little narrative to the society which is charged with the suppression of vile literature. We still look for the time when the publishers of such works as "Dare-Devil Dan," and the needy knaves who write for them, shall be treated as the authors and publishers are treated with whom Mr. Comstock deals. For the seed they sow is fully as pernicious.

A Kansas Lady on Woman Suffrage. Leavenworth Standard. In a private letter to the editor a Saline county lady, a resident of Kansas for more than twenty years, having taught music in Lawrence during the war, and well posted on Kansas affairs, writes the following: "And is it really true that our noble young State is again to be disgraced by the clamor of a certain class of women and scheming politicians to harangue for the so-called rights of women, or female suffrage? The Democrats of Saline county thought that St. John and McCabe were enough, but the revival of the horror called universal suffrage is, to use a homely simile, 'the last drop in the bucket,' Saline is (I am sorry to say) not in as flourishing condition as it was a few years ago. While there is more beer sold than ever known in the last fifteen years, the city feels the need of the thousands of dollars that wero paid into the treasury under the old license laws. Houses that rented for from $10 to $20 per month can now be had for less than half price, and the majority of our business men complain that the palmy days of our little city are among the pleasant memories of the jiast. "If there are any ladies in the eastern part of the State of the type of Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, etc., please do not send them west, for if they come we shall try to defend our side of the question—that a true woman's proper place is not at the polls, but at home and in the school room."

Fomale Pugilists in England. London Globe. A brutal scene took place behind the corporation gas works, Middleborough, yesterday morning. Two women quarrelled as to which was the better pugilist and agreed to fight for the supremacy. There was a large attendance of men and women at the time specified, who formed a ring. The conditions of the fight were that there was to be no pulling of hair, kicking or scratching, but that the affair was to be a fair and square display of fisticuffs. The women stripped to the waist,divested themselves of their earrings, hair-pins and iinger-rings, and, after shaking hands in regular pugilistic fashion, the encounter commenced. At the first round both women buried their hands in each other's hair, and at the conclusion of the ninth round—the variousrounds being timed by a man—both had succeeded in blacking each other's eyes and their faces were covered with bruises.JB|At the conclusion of the fight the victorious female went up to the other •\yomon and asked her to ackwoledge that she was the betser woman. This was readily done and the fight terminated. There were no police present and the victorious party moved oft' home amid a crowd of her admirers. A second fight between women occurred in Albert road shortly after iioon, and in this instance one woman caused blood to flow pretty freely from her antagonist's nose.

Sepnlsed by Factory Girls.

Philadelphia Becord. At Kirby & Brothers' canninc factory, Burlington, N. J., there is employed a young girl named Sallie Cook, who resides with lier guardian, David Hughes, in that city. She had reviously made her home with Mrs. ill, who keeps a saloon in Philadelphia, until ordered to go behind the bar and wait upon customers, when she left the house one morning and fled to her lawful protector. A few days ago a strange man appeared at the canning factory making inquiries for Miss Cook. The other employees in the factory took it into their heads that the unwelcome visitor was an emmisary of Mrs. Gill, who had come to carry the girl off, and they determined upon a repulse. Forming themselves into a solid phalanx, the factory hands began the as sault by bombarding the intruder with decayed tomatoes and such other am munition as was at convenient dis posal. It took but a few minutes to convince the visitor that the "Skinners," as they are termed in Burling ton, were in earnest, and would probably knock him out before* they finished their fusillade. When he retreated out of the factory yard loud and triumphant shouts rent the air, and a motley collection of old tin cans, wornout shoes, and various odds and ends were hurled at the retreating stranger, who, as soon as he gained tho street, ran down the railroad track in the. direction of Beverly.

the foundation of all pulmonary diseases, affording prompt relief and rapid cures, and is adapted to patient# of any age or either sex. Being very palatable, tlie youngest children take it readily. In ordinary Coughs, Colds, Soro Throat, Bronchitis, Influenza, Clergyman's Soro Throat, Asthma, Croup, anl Catarrh, the effects of A.YER'S CUKKKY PECTOUAL aro magical, and multitudes are annually preserved from serious illness i»y its timely and faithful use. It should be kept at hand in every houso hold for tlie protection it affords in sudden attacks. In Whooping-cough and Consumption there is no other remedy so efficacious, soothing, and helpful.

Low prices are inducements to try some of the many mixtures or syrups, made of cheap and ineffective ingredients, now offered, which, as they contain no curative qualities, can afford only temporary relief,,and are sure to disappoint the patient." Diseases of the throat and lungs demand active and effective treatment and it is dangerous experimenting with unknown and cheap medicines, from the great liability that these diseases may. while so trifled with, become deeply seated or incurable. Use AYICK'S CHKKUY PECTOIIAI., and you jnav confidently expect the best results. It is of acknowledged curative power, and is as cheap as its careful preparation and fine ingredients will allow.
