IS RECOMMENDED BY ALL : Physicians. ‘VALLEY STREANM, Queens Co.; Long Island, N. Y. Mg. H. R. STEVENS:— Dear Sir,—l take the pleasure of writing you a small cirtificate concerning Vegetine prepared by you. - I have been a sufferer with thc dyspepsia for over 40 years, and have had the chronic diarrheea for over 6 months, and have tried most everything; was given up to die, and did not expect to live from day to day, and no physician could touch my case. I saw your:Vegetine regommended to care Dyspepsia. I commenced using it, and I continued doing 80, and am now a well woman and restored fo perfect health. All who are afflicted with this terrible disesse, I would kindly recommend to try it for the benefit of their-health, and it is excellent for a blood purifier, - ; By Dr. T. B, Forbes. M. D., for | L - Mrs. Wi, H. Fornes, VEeGETINE.—When. the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either from change of weather or of climate, want of exercise, irregular diet, or any other cause, the Vegetine will renew the blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowelg, and impart.a tone of vigor to the whole body. i N TINE -~ VEGETI} FOR CANCERS AND Cancerous Humors. . The Doctor’s Certificate. Read It. . = . © Asuney, Washingtoun Co., 111., Jan. 14, 1878. Mge. H. R. STEVENS :— e Dear Sir,—This 18to certify that. I had been snffering from a Rose Cancer on my right breast, which grew very rapidly, and all my friends had given me up to die, when 1 heard of your medicine, Veﬁetiqe. recommended for Cancer and Cancerous Humors. I commenced to take it, and soon found myself beginning to feel better; my health and spirita both felt the beni%ln influence which it exerted, and in a few months from the time I commenced the use of the Vegetine, the Cancer came out almost bodily. . : CArRIE DEBORREST. I certify that [ am personally acquainted with Mrs, DeForrest, and cousider her one of our very best women. | : ; Dr, 8. H. FLowkes. ArLL DisgASEs oF Tug Broopn,—lf Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such dis‘eases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying difflerent physicians, many remedies, suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if yon are: a sgufferer, you can be cured? Why 18 this medicine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fiuid, I can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of disease originates in the blood, and nomedicine that does not act direcily upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. :

I Regard it as a Valuable FAMILY MEDICINE, S ! = -Jan, 1, 1878. H. R. Stuvexss, Esq. :— Dear Sir,—l take pleasure in'saying, that I have used the Vegetine in my family with'good results, and I have known of several cases of remarkable cure effected by it. I repard it as a valuable fam--ily medicine, Youars traly, ; Rev, Wn, MoDonNALD. The Rev. Wm, McDonald is well known through the United States as a minister in the Mcthodist. Church, § TuousanDs Sereak.—Vegetine is-acknowledged and recommended by physicians andapothecaries to be the best purifier and.cleanser of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak in its praise who have been restored to health, D VEGETINE The M. D’s Have It. H, R. STEvENS, EsQ. :— s Dear Sir,—l have sold Vegetine for a long time, and find it gives most excellent satisfaction. .8, B. DePrinst, M. D., Druggist. T-wd. § : Hazleton, Indiana. Ly : VEGETINE ) Prepared by H. R. STEVENS, Boston, Mass. Vegetine is sold by all Druggists. " By an immense practice, extending through/ period of years, having within'that time treat« many thousand cases of those discases peculi: to woman, I have been enabled to perfect 2 most potent and agreeable medicine thuat meets the indications presented by that cluss of dis€ases with positive certainty and exaclness. To designate this natural specific compound, I have named it x .<’» : . - “Dr.Pierge’s Favorite Prescription. The term, howerver, is but a fechle expression of my high appreeiation of its value, based upon my own .Yersonal observation. As a close observer, I have, while witnessing its positive re« sults in the few special diseases incident to the scparate organism of woman, singled it out as the’ climax or crowning gem of my tnedical career. On its merits, as a posiive, safe, and effectual remedy for this class of diseases, and one that will, at all times and under all c{rcumsmnces act kindly and in harmony with-the laws which govern the female system, I am willing to stake my reputation as a Physic;an. Nay, even more, 80 confident am I ..that” it will not disa{)point the most sanguine expectations of a single invalid lady who uses it for atiy of the ailments for which I recommend I[t} . that I offer and sell it under A POSITIVE GUARANTEE. If a Leneficial eflcct is not experienced by the time two-thirds of the con= tents of the bottle are used, I will, on return of the bottle, two-thirds of the medicine having “been taken according to directions, and the case being one for which I recommend it, {»romplly refund the money paid for it. Had I not the most Pcrfect confidence in its virtues, I could not offer it as Ido under these conditions; but haying witnessed its trul; miraculous cures in thousands of cases, I feel warranted and perfectly safe in risking both iny -reputation and my moncy on its merits. g

The following are among those diseases in which my Favorite Prescription has worked cures, as if by magic, and with a certainty never before attained f)y any medicine:~ Leucorrhea, Excessive Flowing, DPainful Monthly Periods, Snp})‘ressions when from unnatural causes, Irregularitics, Weak Back, Prolapsus, or falling of the Uterus, Anteversion and Retroversion, Bearing Down éensauons. Internal Heat, Nervous Depression, Debility, Despondency, ThreatenecP Miscarriage, - Chronic Congestion, Infiammation and Ulceration of the Uterus, Impotency, Barrenness, or Sterility, Female Weak;ness, and very many other chronic diseasesd in¢ident to woman not mentioned here. In all affections of this nature, my Fayorvite Prescripui)'n works cures—the marvel of tho werld. Thismedicine Ldonotextol asa cure-all, but it admirably fulfills & sinn~lce ness -of ﬁmrpose being a most periect specificin all chronic (fiscases of the sexual gvs-* tem of woman. It will not disanpoint, nor wiil it do harm, in any state or condition; .Those who desire further information cn these subjects can obtain it in Tun. Pro>n's COMMON SENSE MEDICAL ADVISER, a hook of over 900 pages, sent, post-paid, on recept of $1.50. It treats minulely of those disca o= peculiar to’ Females, and gives much va.ual le advice in regard to the minagement of those affections. - Bl : ‘FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION SOLE BY ALL DRUGGISTS. 4

THE LION-TAMER.

“That lioness will be the death of you yet, Joe” S

“Pshaw!” said Joe Amberly, “the Lion-Tamer” of a large traveling circus, laughing at the predictions of his assistant. | ki !

“You may laugh as much as yon please, but some day vou will find I am right, and then to your sorrow, though then it will be too late.” “I have performed with all the animals for some years, and never had any difficulty.” - “You forget the one at Longtown.” *“That didn’t amount to much, I soon brought them to subjection.”

“But the trouble commenced with this same lioness.” . : “Yes: though it wouldn’t have been so bad if those cats of hunting leopards had not set up a yell and drawn the black tiger into the affray.” “She has a devil of a temper when it is up—is the most treacherous beast I ever fed or had any thing to do with. I have been watching her close for a couple of days,” continued the assistant, “and know she is mighty crossgrained. So depend upon it, you are going to have trouble.” ' “I don’t see why, more than at any. other time.” -

“There are times--and you know it, if you will only reflect——and this is one of them. Ifl was in your place I wouldn’t try to show off to-day with any extras, but just give a common performance and get out of the cage as quick as I could.” : “You know what we advertise, and what a crowd has gathered.” : “Yes,” with a laugh; “and I know we never have or do one-half there is in the bills. - Paper is cheap, Joe, but human life is precious. Think how poorly off you would leave your wife and child if any thing should happen to you, and what would become of your wife if any thing should happen to the child ?” " “Do not mention it.” : The man who had handled and tamed and toyed with the savage beasts as if they had been harmless kittens groaned aloud at the thought. A man of the most ardent, even passionate, nature, he bowed down in worship to his wife and littie girl. And that day it had been advertised that he would take his child and a pail of blood into the cage with him. L It was a very daring, foolhardy project at the best; but how much more 80 when -the beasts were doubly savage and out of temper—when the slightest thing might arouse them to all their pristine fury, and the fierce blood of the wilderness assert itself in all its tempestuous wrath. ' : But the husbandly and fatherly emotion was soon conquered. The habit of years and his natural strength gave him self-reliance; and it would take more than idle words to tarn him from his purpose, no matter how dangeraals it might appear to others. To this must be added the esprit de corps that would make him take the most desperate chances before having even the shadow of cowardice attached to his name. v A

Still, he could not help thinking more deeply, perhaps,thanever before. Was there in reality any danger? He could not convince himself of it, argue the matter as he would. .

The old lion 1n the cage, though a monster in size, was inoffensive, tame and obedient. In the language of the keepers, he was “good for nothing but to make a show and set back in the corner, grind his_ teeth and 'growl” Besides, he- was ‘a friend, and upon more than one occasien had acted the part of a peacemaker. The leopards—a pair of spotted cheetahs — were scarcely to be taken into consideration. The black tiger, tlie most rare and strikingly beautiful animal in any collection, was ordinarily quiet, though when fully aroused not to be trifled with. ‘

But the lioness was the especial one to be dreaded and watched. She was a beast of uncommon power, with massive arms, long, curving claws, tail lithe and nervous as a serpent, teeth sharp as needles, flexile, treacherous, smooth, tawny skin and yellow eyes that ever flashed fiercely. Never, even in her best moods, had she been submissive, and her mildest play was rough in the extreme. - ' The lion-tamer turned from his companion to go and dress for his attractive but dangerous performance; but before doing so he . visited the double cage, and made a critvical examination of the beasts, who any instant might be to him as fate. There was nothing to especially awaken fear; and, half vexed with himselt for having been needlessly disturbed, he passed from the great canvas into a smaller compartment, and found his wife and child waiting for him—the one a fair and beautiful woman, and the other a very fairy of a child, whose hair hung down upon her back, as the brightest and finest of spun silk, “I am sorry, Joe,” said the wife and mother, as ‘her husband entered, “that you have consented to so foolish a performance as the one advertised for to-day.” i ' “Why, May?” and he looked most earnestly at her. | ' “Because the ordinary performance 18 hazardous enough.” ; “Then you think this more so ?”

“L don’t know that it is,” she replied, having the utmost confidence in her husband’s ability; “but somehow I don’t altogether fancy having Inez taken into the cage.” g “You know my reason for consenting, and that it would never have been given had your assent not first been obtained.” . : “Certainly, and it was very good of you, Joe‘.” Sk g . “That it was promised on account of my salary being raised.” i fYes” ! b “And that it was to secure the rise of salary, so as the sooner to accumulate enough to buy a little home against the rainy days that may come.” “Yes, my dear Joe; but,” with a smile, “had not pride something to do with it? That’s the curse of the profession. Each one is always trying to outdo the other, running risks on that account they. will not otherwise attempt.” : : #“Well, May, I only gave my promise to do the act once, but even now: will give it up if you say the word. I had rather disappoint all the managers and be called a coward by all the rabble in the world than cause your heart o beat with fear, or ta bring tears into your eyes.” e *“No, no, Joe. Don’tthink I lostconfidence and pride in you. - No, don’t think of givingit up. I suppose lam foolishly nervous. But you will be cig&eigl, ‘and not run any unnecessary “My own heart would have to be ‘torn out before any zthingz should hap‘pen.to our darling;” and he stooped, raised the ohild, tossed her up, caught,

kissed and hugged her to his bosom. “But yourself, Joe?” -~ ~ “0, I'll look out for number one.” . The tonversation did not tend to easSe his mind, and before dressing he went out ‘and held another conversation with his particularattendant,and took another look into the performing eage. | | - - The animals were more quiet than when he had seen them previously; the lioness especially appeared in a playful mood, and, with something of a load hfted from his-heart, he returned, with but little time remaining before he would bé called upon to prove his right to the proud title of ‘liontamer. -

And every inch he looked one, as he stepped in view of the densely+crowded assembly. Gorgeous in his nsw costume, and with a look of calmness .and determination upon his face, he looked, with his tall and sinewy form, lis tograpple with and overcome the fiercest beasts that ever prowled amid ‘the jungles of Asia and Africa, and made night terrible with their roaring. ' &mﬁ of applause—a perfect tempest of huzzas and clapping of hands—greeted him as he swung his little girl, - dressed in silver tissue, and ‘with the gossamer wings and tiara of sparkling jewels around her golden curls that represent the tradition fairy, upon his shoulders. While looking at his stalwart proportions, the men thought what a dangerous antagonists he would be, and the young mothers shuddered at so beautiful a child being taken into a den of savage animals. )

. With a graceful bow and the dignity of a Roman conquerer, thelion-tam-er strode through the circle, disappeared behind the cage, and ;with such rapidity as to astonish the audienc stood withinithe compartment whe?e( the hugelion was lying and the agile leopards leaping about, and had:placed his child between the claws of the greater brite, and she was playfully toying with its shaggy mane. . For a time he made the leopards leap about him as Kkittens, jumping from corner vo corner, resting upon his shoulders, bounding lightly over the éxtended whip. Then he gave his attention to the mother lion, opened its immense jaws, placed his arm and thrust his head between them, raised his fairy-like child upon its back and made it march around with her. Then he prepared to throw the two cages into one. . ;

“Let Inez come out now,” whispered the attendant, uneasily... “You have done enough already to keep your promise, and the audience won’t know the difference.” !

“No; I will go through. Mind ‘what I told you, and have things ready in case there should be trouble, though I don’t faney any.” Then he continued aloud, so as to e plainly heard by every one, “Hand me the pail of blood.”

A cold shiver, a supernatural awe, appeared to pass through the frame of all, as the vessel, dripping with erimson drops, was given to him, and more than one asked theriselves if the man was mad to thus not-enly risk hisown life, but- that of his beautiful child. And when he loosened and thrust aside:the partition, and the fierce lio Lad sleek tiger came bounding in, their breath was absdlutely suspended, and their hearts momentarily ceased to beat. S ; “Down!” ; : . The tiger obeyed, and the foot of the lion-tamer was upon his neck. “[Tp !” 3 ~ And the leopards were. purring like great cats upon his shoulders, while the lioness lay crouched with her tawny paws thrust through the bars and growling severely. “For mercy’s sake, let her alone,” whispered his attendant;. “and mind not kick over that pail. If the blood should be spilled, it would be all over with you both. All the men in the world couldn’t save you.” ! !

“Stand ready, but keep still. The brute shall mind.” . His child was sitting on the back of the lion, and smiling in that den of horrors. Her confidence in her father was sublime—was as perfect as her love. She never dreamt of fear when he was near to protect, and while the lookers-on shuddered, she innocently deemed it a pleasant pastime, “Down!” L The leopards leaped to either corner, and crouched down. = - i “Come!” i : !

The lioness grumblingly arose, crawled suddenly to his feet, rose and laid her great claws upon his shoulders, making him swerve with her weight, and raised her terrible head upon a level with: his own. Slowly and slowly they turned round as if waltzing, the low mutterings of the beast becoming more plainly audible eévery moment, and her yellow, feline eyes snapped with hidden fires. With. an amazing exhibition of strength he wrestled with, tripped and threw her from him, and the. canvas tent rang again. But instantly she was upon her feet, lashing her sides with her prehensile tail, drawing back her lips so as to show her teeth, and uttering the deepest and, fiercest of howls. i

“For the love of mercy, hand out your ¢ c]_x_ild, Joe,” s;zid_his} attendant.

- “Wait a moment, I shall be done very quickly.” i ' f The crowning feat was yet to come, It was one upon which he had bestowed much time, and upon whieh he had prided himself—was a tableau of wild beasts, with manhood« and childish beauty for the central attraction. He stepped to the corner, led the monster lion forth into the center of the cage, made him lie down, placed the little girl upon him and stood astride.. Then ashrill whistle brought the cheetah leopards bounding upon his shoulders- and standing up with paws crossed above his head, the black tiger erect upon his left, and throttled with his hand. . Bat the lioness failed to do his bidding and take her place upon his right. She lay. in the act of ‘springing, and at but a little distance, sCome.’ - : e

There was a moment, and the whip was raised and fell heavily upon her head. That was all that was needed to awaken her latent ire, and, with a roar like that given in her nativesforest, she sprang with almost resistless force toward him. . A sharp, stinging blow on the bridge of the nose for a moment cowed her, and she might bave been conquered had she not partially fell upon and upset the pail and deluged the floor of the cage in blood! Then all became the wildest commotion—theé most terrible and savage gounds. - Every beast sprang down, Tapped the blood, and then turned upon him. Tven the veteran lion appeared to forge: the lon'tg;iyauts of training, and something of his young forest life blazed forth, ~ Amberly comprehended all irian instant, and the faﬁhertrl _over theactor, He snatched tho now ter-

rified and sereaming child, sprang with her to the door, thrust her into the hands of the watcnful attendant, and would have followed, had not the lioness grappled and drawn him back, rendering his shoulder with her sharp claws, and causing the blood te stream over his rich dress.

. He was fighting against most desperate odds, knew it, backed into the corner, and called for'his irons. One, redhot at the'end, was handed to . him, ‘but ﬁt the first stroke ,the lioness sent it whirling, and her sharp teeth almost met for a moment histhigh. - e “Hand me something sharp with which I can brain the brute!” : - Every thing upon which hands could be laid was thrust to him, but he failed to reach tif®m, and the danger 'was becoming more and. more eminent. The blood had been lapped up clean—all were mad with desires, the tiger and the leopards erouching upon him. Then the majesty of command asserted itself. i “Come, Samson.” S The old lion came forward at the words, | Seemed to comprehiend that something was wrong, thrust himself between his master and his raging mate, and, when she turned upon him, -sent her rolling with a blow of his great paw. . . : The lion-tamer might have escaped, but, bleeding, wounded as he was, he would not retreat, and turned his attention to seperating the now tangied mass of fighting animals.. Picking up cne leopard after another he drew them into a further corner of the cage, dragging the tiger, with the lioness -clinging to it and tearing its glossy hide, thither, tore open its paws by main strength, hurled it back and shut the partition, turned, reeled to the fhgm’, fell upon it 'and was dragged rough to safety, even with the lioness rattling behind him as ic was closing. © ! : A few steps taken, and the lion-tam-er fell fainting by the side of his al-ready-insensible wife, who lay with her affrighted child hugged closely to her scarcely-beating heart. :

Then the silence that had been as death was broken by the most tumultuous shouts, and breath was drawn again, and half-fainting women and fear-palsied men felt as if a mountain had been lifted from their hecrts. Lame, torn and weak, the lion-tam-er entered the cage the next day before the most unprecedented crowd, it having been advertised that he would do so in his bloody clothes, but never again could he be tempted to take child or pail of blood behind the bars.

. THE new field gun invented by F. J.: Baily, of Indianapolis, was thoroughly tested in that city the other week, and with very satisfactory results. The new cannon has a single barrel, and solid or cannister shot can be discharged at the rate of fifty a minute. The firing process consistsjof the movement forward and backward of a lever, traversing one third of a circle, while the shot is fed in from a hopper so arranged that a cOnstEnt supply can be kept up. The experiment was made with a solid shot weighing eight ounces, and with cannister containing 21 bullets of about the size of buckshot. Fifty of the cannister shots can be fired per minute, which would be equal in effect to a thousand bullets from an infanfry regiment. =The design is to make a gun of large caliber, so that fwo Inch projectiles may be used at short range.

What it Will Cost to go to Paris.

A London correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune furnishes a detailed estimate of the cost of a two months’ trip to the Paris Exposition, allowing three weeks in Paris, and three more weeks in London. The remainder of the:time is distributed in England, after allowance for travel. .As the question with most persons is not one of time so much as it is of money, the estimaies of expenses will bethe most interesting portion of theletter, doubtless, and these we summarize: =

From-the 2d to 23d he would remain in London. From the 24th to August 13, he would visit Paris. Returning to England, from the 15th to the 31st ‘would: be .available for daily excursions from place to place as one's fancy might dictate, always selecting “lodgings,” instead of hotels, and specifying beforehand the full price of rent, inciuding “service.” ~ln -this country we have little annoyance from servants who expect fees,but in England a simpie act in one’s behalf is suflicient to call for extra pay.— Americans have falien into the habit of tipping .waiters with extravagant sums, but an economical trip like this we are planning must be-as free from such items-as possible.. Every means must be resorted to tosave the pennies: else the sum above.stated will not suflice. Of course this'sum does not allow for accidents or delay. - Everything must move off in, clock-work fashion, but the $260 is given as the lowest possible. figure at: which the trip can be made and one still retain independence and self-respect. Proba-~ bly the better and safer way is to add about $l5O to the amount, and let the trip include a short tour through Ireland just before returning home, -if the money holds out. Two young men traveling in company can often save where one cannot by sharing.general expenses. Hacks or other luxuries are not included here in the estimates. It is supposed thatone is willing to walk who is ready to undertake a sort.of Bayard Taylg Bohemianism. A man and wife cannot make such an extended tour as this for much less than $l,000. .If silly Americans expectto dazzle anyone on the other shores, they will find ample opportunity to sink as much more as they happen to have with them.

- +.The Art of Prolonging Life, People generally desire long lifeand ‘good health, Sickness and premature death are almost always due to violations of thelaws that governour phys- : ical being, and of which the masses are ignorant. = If men knew better they ‘would do better; but how can they avoid an evil that they know not of? - - While efferts are made through the publie schools to give each child a socalled common English education, yet the 'c_hil«%en; are permitted to grow up "and ente¥ upon the responsible duties - of active life, profoundly ignorant of the structure of their own bodies, and the laws of physical being upon which their health and lives depend. They are sent to school and crammed with arithmetie, grammar, and geography, by teachers who, in many instances, . have never: studied physiology and hygiene. They are taught to locate the mountains and trace the rivers of foreign countries, but are never taught ‘to locate the vital organs and glands of - fheir own bodies, or trace the veins, ‘arteries, and nerves, in their various ‘ramifications. They are instructed in the flow of the tides, and the courseof the -ocean currents, and the philosophy of winds and storms; but they bave no correct conception of the rela- | tive effects upon their health of breathing pure or impure air, nor has their attention ever been called to the importance of keeping their bodies clean: -and healthy by regular bathing. The criminality of such neglect in teaching becomes apparent when we consicer that the masses, ignorently vio- | “lating the laws of health, bring upon ‘themselves 'sickness, - Suffezng, and -death, that might otherwise®e avoid--.ed. ‘ln this condition of things we iwelcome into being any work that is . cdlculated to impart to the masses a knowledge of the structure of their -own bodies; the laws of health, and the importance’ of observing those ‘laws.

For Girls Who Paint.

Here is a little story for the girls and women who love to daub, their faces with rouge, ete. An American girl went over to Paris with her brother the other day, and the instant she ‘was left alone with their companion in the carriage, a middle-aged Frenchman, he insulted her. She told her brother when he returned, and there was a fearful outburst. The Frenchman gave his card, and said he was deeply sorry and would abide by the decision of the other as fo the consequences to ensue for his mistake, but certainly he never suspected Made-moiselle-was a lady, as she was painted!—The brother appealed to the best authorities. in Paris in these matters to learn what the code was under these circumstances, .and all the men of the Jockey Club told him that if his sister’s eyelashes were blackened and her cheeks rouged, he could have no redress, as these practices were never followed by reputable females.
