The disease may arise &Gm 8 scrofulogs oondltl‘?n of the blood, from Scarlet Fever, Mcasles, and Di tbcrln, in which cases the eye and car are general_lly involved nnd‘dlschugo quantities of matter, The discharges from the nose, the distinctive feature in all catarrhal cases from whatﬁver cause they arise, may be thin and watery, and 80 acid as tocause redness and excoriation of.the skin with which they come in contact, or t!klck and chowiah emitting a foul odor, or clear add white ike the white of an egg Thers may be an entire Inck of secrction, the surfaces be--In‘g dry and feverish, the face, front and up&er part of the head feelinﬁ uncomfortable, and as if it was cneireled brn tight, \myioldl% band. This latter phase is called Dry éntarrh. ¢ frce mattery discharges cause thé passages o swell and becoma thickened, rendering breathing through the nosa difiicult or impossible, and the sufferer finds it neccssary to breathe throu‘ghmlc mouth, thercby rcrmmmgcold air to passdireetly to the bronchial übes and lungs, The multer passing down the throat creates a constant desire to hawk and exJs'ary and foverion, fhmond ot boan i mombrana s n B 3 & o ngi&‘*ﬁi"m‘ tha g.lﬂ ¥ &?g‘m nto scabs, lncrmr ard lumps, which adherc so firmly t_qm{nml passages and throat as to require very pe eut efforts to dlslodFe them.

The throat, bronchial tubes, and lungsare in many cascs affected by catarrh, and when prostration of the ners - xlous sFStcm is superaddoed, such affections become plarming, A brlc‘isnrvey of this mostserious discase warns all who are afilicted with itto make spcedy preparation for itB treatment before it becomes ehronic, The advantages offercd by SAXFORD'S RADICAL CrrE we confldently believe are to be found in no other remedy.

The stomach is affected withiloss of appetite and 'sickness; the bowels in gen: eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head {8 troubled with pain, accompanied with @ dull, heavy sensation in the back ¥m There is generally a considerable loss of mem. ory, accompanied with a painful sensation of havigg left undone some: thing which ought to have been done, A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. . The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and ‘he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to:him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged. - AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLANE’s Lliver PiLLs, IN CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the imost happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or- after taking Quinmme. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL. For all bilious derangements, and as a simple purgative, they are uniequaled. ' BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated.

MR. GILMORE’S FRIEND. . “Is that the last, Claudy ?” “Yes, mamma, the last—the very last.” And Claudia poured the fine tea from the canister into the bright tea-pot. “And there is scarcely butter enough for breakfast, mamma.— But then you know I have made up my mind that butter don’t agree with | me, and that tea makes me nervous; go for the future I shall have none of them,” b , ' ' And Claudia laughed a bright, rippling laugh, that sent the dimples {rooping to her face. : X This Claudia was my only child—--16, beautiful, accomplished, and thoroughly iinselfish. . A | - ‘At the time my narrative commences I had been confined to my. room by nervous prostration three long months, caused by my husband’s failure in business and the embarr?sments consequent upon it. We had moved in good society, .and I had. looked ' forward with all a mother’s fond anticipations to seeing my daughter “come out,” and fill the place that 1 knew her“beauty and accomplishments fitted her for. But alas! my hopes, by a lightning stroke, were scattered, and a cloud settled down upon my soul that it seemed to me. would never be lifted. We moved from our handsome residence, gave up horses, carriages, servants, and took lodgings. My husband was gloomy, dispirited,and even at times morose, and I, who should have been his comforter, sank down into a state of apathy and listlessness that ended in a nervous fever. 1 say ended, because I got up frem that sick-bed a nobler and a wiser woman. All this time a bright, beautiful spirit had been moving about our humble apartments, comforting father, consoling mother, arranging the scanty furniture, and making the best of everything, j

Dear Claudia! what lessons of patience and forbearance she was unconsciously teaching her weak, selfish mother every day! i ; . “I have my pets, mamma,” she used to say—"my books, my piano, papa and you. What more could any girl asx, pray ?” : In failing, my husband lost everything except some furniture and our ‘wearing apparel, jewelry, etc., and these dwindled away little by little, until nothing of value remained except Claudia’s piano, my engagement ring and watch—the latter the gift of an absent brother whom I had looked upon as dead for many years. What it was that had sapped the foundation of my husband’s success, and caused our wealth to disappear so suddenly, I was at the time unaware of, but by degrees the dreadful truth burst upon me. Unfortunate speculations in shares and stocks, and the final crash came that made us almost beggars. I had been sitting thinking it all over, when the merry voice of Claudia roused me from my reverie. . “Come, mamma, to Lreakfuast: the toast is made, and papa is here.”

‘As I entered our little parlor I gave my husband an inquiring glance, which he answered as silently by nodding his head and looking in the direction of Claudia. Tt

Finishing her breakfast hastily, she ran to the piano to sing over her favorite pieceg, as was her custom, before the sterner duties of the day commenced.

“James,” said I, looking my husband steadily in the face, “are you still determined to make the sacrifice you mentioned last night ?”

“Yes; it must go. Thereis no help for it. A piano is not much use, anyhow, to people in our circumstances. No gay company— no society. What use is it? Mr. Gilmore’s friend will pay a good price for it, and I must have the money for a venture I am about tO make, and which [am sure will prove a good one.” ; / I saw by my husband’s stern voice and manner that it would be no.use to argue the matter, so' I merely remarked, as I leant back in my ﬁ:air: “The money will go like all thewest, James, and we shall be poorer than ever, beside leaving our dear child with scarcely a comfort. You might have spared her this.” : The piano went that same day ; and how my heart ached for my innocent darling as the tears trickled down her cheeks, hard as she tried to keep.them back. - i

“I shan’t mind it much after a day or two, mamma,” said she, smiling through her tears. “I can do more work than ever now; but weymust fill up the vacant place in the room with chairs or something, mustn’t we 2” And she bustled about to hide her emotion. : HEeae

But the music in her soul could no more be quenched than could the tide of song that swelled the trembling throat of her pet canary. Obh, in those dark and never-to-be-forgotten days, and the darker ones that followed,rwhat a comfort my child was to. me -

- Spring, summer and autumn passed, and we lived in still poorer apartments. My husband had now surrendered himself to dissipation until everything had been swept away.— My watch and ring had gone with the other things long ago. Only Claudia stood between us and starvation. 1n the spring, through the influence of Mr. Gilmore, a wealthy man who had taken guite an interest in ‘my husband, she obtained some pupils for music, and her salarv .was' about our only support. . ; :

1t was a cold, bleak day in November; thick snow-clouds mantled the heavens, and the wind blew fearfully. I knew Claudia had but one lesson to give that day, and that she would be at home at 1 o'clock; so I was busy preparing her dinner when I heard a knock- at the docr. ,On opening it, 1 saw a servant girl, who, pale and trembling, said: = : “Ob, ma’am, Miss Claudia is very ill, and has fainted!” .

A mother’s fear lent wings to my feet as I hastened to the house where she was. /- . - I found Claudia better, though very pale. She was sitting on the sofa with a note in her hand, which she handed to me without a word. I read as follows: il e o pIBY - “NOVEMBER 5. “DEAR Miss LANGDON;—] am sorry to be mnder the painful necessity of informing you that your father has met with an‘accident, and is now Iying at —— Hospifal, in a very low condition.

| :Mr. Edward Tilleston (a handsome young man of 25) was the assistant house-surgeon at thé institution alluded to. He was .a stranger to me then; bat not to Claudia, as it seemed, for she had often met him at some of her pupils’ houses. He now received us "%Lthe hospital, and kindly preceded 8 to the bedside of my husband, who had been knocked down by a vehicle lin the street. ; For weeks he lingered between life and death; but his good constitution, together with the kind attention and skillful practice of Mr. Tilleston prevailed, and he was soon pronounced out of danger. I may say it wasa blessed Illness, for ever after he wasa changed man—the kind thoughtful husband, the indulgent father, eschewing entirely the sins and vices which had nearly proved his ruin. One day Claudia came in, and I noticed traces of tears on her cheeks.— When I questioned her, she threw her arms round my neck and hid her blushing face on my bosom. “Oh, mamma!” said she, “I have 'had twe such surprises that I could ‘met-help crying . tears of joy. This morning, as I was going to give myfirst lessor, I met Edward Tilleston, who—what do you think, mamma? Well—but he’s coming himself presently to see you and papa—" j “Very good, my dear,” I said. “I can guess; Claudy, what it is all about. A little bird had already whispered to me that he was fond of you; and, if I mistake not, my little girl will not make an unwilling bride. "I know him to be a young man of good family and sterling worth. His father,

Gen. Tilleston, used to visit us some years ago, and has always proved himself a friend to your father since his failure in business, although I was unaware of the relationship until lately. But what is the other surprise that you have had this morning ? “Oh, mammal! just at the very moment I was coming in,” replied Claudia, “there was a large van at the door —and something had been lifted out and placed-in the passage-—and there it is now, ready to be brought up stairs. Well, I lovked—and there was a piano and, on opening it, I saw it was my own dear old piano! Inside was a paper marked ‘From Mr, Gil-l more’s friend” Now, who is his friend? But, at all events, is thiég not a great surprise also, mamma ?” | What a picture of domestic comfort was oqur little sitting room in those long winter evenings that followed! . Edward Tilleston .(who proved to be Mr. Gilmore’s friend) spent most of his spare time with us now, as Claudy and he were to be mairied early in the spring, and there were many arrangements to be made that requiied more heads than two.

Mr. Gilmore was introduced to us, and sometimes admitted to these conferences, as he declared he had a right to be, and would prove it on the wedding day. : ! : The eventful morning arrived, and with it a check for £l,OOO for Claudy, and a packet for myself, containing my long-lost watch and engagement ring, and a note accompanying them, addressed to me.

Terrible Experience of a Balloonist at - Indianapolis.

INDITANAPOLIS, Ind,, Oct. I.—On account of the high wind the balloon race ab the fair ground this afternoon, was considered unsafe to life, but to appease the crowd, Harry Gilbert undertook to make the ascension in the Erkenbreker, a small balloon, with disastrous c¢onsequences. No sooner was the word given to “let go” than the balloon was seized by the gale and hurled against the nearest tree, some fifty yards distant, the basket striking with ‘great force about 80 feet from the ground. Becoming detatched, the balloon shot with mighty velocity toward the top of a tree standing near the track, striking the top with such force as to open it wide, whence the descent was alarmingly rapid, striking about the center of the race course grounds, amid the wildest consternation on the part of the multitude, many of the ladies fainting. © Gilbert was picked up badly bruised and cut, with no bones broken, however. The balloon is utterly ruined.

; A Little Ahead. - | Washington Post.) Two years ago Eugene Hale had Mr. T. R. Murch discharged from the Rockland stone quarry for voting the democratic ticket.

“The ~Odorous-.-‘l?;iney Woods.”

These words caught our eye as we were lazily glancing through *The North and West Illustrated,” and they caused us to long for a trip to the home of the “piney woods.” Without much thought as to where we should stop, we took our start from the good city of Louisville, Xy., and soon found ourselves at Chicago. There we found but one route that could give us what we were looking for, and found that to be the new Chicago, St. Paul & Minneapolis Line, that led through prairie and meadow, through hill and valley, along great lakes and streams, and finally into theydepths of the pine forests of Wisconsin, and so on to St. Paul and Minneapolis. Buying our tickets we started, and left the Canal and Kinzie street depot of the Chica--20 & North-Western Railway, and passed through many pleasant villages,such as Irving, Park, Desplaines, Barrington, Crsytal Lake and Woodstock, and reached Harvard, thenceto Beloit, Hanover and Madison, where we are 140 miles from Chicago, and at the capital of Wisconsin, a city of overls.ooo peam:, RN RN s TR The city is pleasantly situated on an isthmus about three-fourths of a mile wide, between Lakes Mendota and Monona, in the centre of a bread valley, surrounded by heights from which it can be seen at a distance of several | miles, Lake Mendota lies northwest | of the town, is six miles wide, with | clean, gravelly shores, and a depth sufficient for the navigation of steamboats. ILake Monona is somewhat smaller. =

At 176 miles from Chicago, and 36 ‘miles from Madison, we reached the celebrated Devil’s Lake. This is a beautitul body of water, surrounded by precipitous mountains on every side, except at two points, one being at the southern end, where the railroad enters the lake basin, and the other at the northern end, where the railroad finds exit from the basin of the lake. On every side of the lake you see *“rock piled on rock” in every conceivable form, and in immense columns, pillars, piles and masses of very great magnitude and height.—. The railroad runs along the shore of the lake on a bed that was literally blasted out of the side of the mountain. From the car windows all the beduties of this wonderful and weirdly ‘mysterious region can readily be seén. This was the home of Minnawaukene, a beautiful and unfortunate Indian maiden. and many legends are related of her by the simple hearted and kindly people of the vicinity.— This lake is a favorite summer resort, and to it the people for many miles around come for picnicking, sailing, boating, fishing and all other sports. - ' At Baraboo .you reach the Baraboo rover, and from thence pass along its valley for many miles. : At Elroy you are 212 miles from Chicago, and at the southern terminus of the West Wisconsin Railway. From Elroy ycu hasten northward on the new and admirable traeck of the West Wisconsin road, and .soon reach the great pine woods, which have rendered Wisconsin celebrated the world over. Into'the heart of the pine lumber region you speed, passing through Black River Falls, Humbird, Augusta, Eau Claire, Menomonee, and other noted lumber towns, and finally cross tlre River St. Croix at Hudson. This river is the dividing line between Wisconsin and Minnesota. A few miles beyoud, you reach a branch to Stillwater, a flourishing town on the St. Croix river. A fifteen mile ride brings you to St. Paul, and here you rest, or push on eleven miles further, to the active, bustling cities of Minneapolis and St. Anthony. = At St. Paul you can make close connections, via the Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad, for Duluth, Moorhead, Bismarck and other points ‘ on the line of the Great Northern Pacific Railroad, and also with the St. Paul & Pacific Railway, for Breckenridge, Fort Garry and points in Mani- ‘ toba. x

- On the line we have hastily sketched, you have a variety of scenery—the quiet, beautiful prairie country of Northeastern Illinois; the rolling farming country of Southern Wisconsin; the wildly romantic mountain scenery of the Devil’s Lake country; the breezy, odorous “piney woods,” with their busy mills, active towns and logging camps; andithe charming river country of the St. Croix valley. A greater diversity of country can not be found anywhere in a journey of the same length, You will find comfortable, cleanly and commodious dining stations and liotels along the line, at which ample time is given for all meals. i

Our management controls the route, and Pullman Palace Sleepers run through to St. Paul and for Minneapolis. It will be seen that this line runs nearly due noorthwest from Chicago to St. Paul, and is but a few miles longer than an air line, and it is tige shortest practical route over which a railroad line can be built between these points. This assures the passenger the quickest time that can be made. No other route is now or can be made as direct. - O

: CampbelFs Cireus. = [St. Louis Republican, Aug. 20th.] ] | The old excuse for remaining away | from circus performances, that they | are all alike, and when you have seen | one you have seen all, is fast passing into the shadow-land of fallacies— Campbell’s cireus is unlike anything -of the kind that has ever preceded it here. It has many features new to the sawdust ring, while in all the old traditions that it retains, an excellence is displayed that renders them attract‘ive and novel. The show is one of the best that has ever pitched canyasin Suv, Louis, and all who visit it express themselves as highly delighted with the two hours-and a half of en-. tertainment that is _furnis‘hqq for the price of admission. . The Costumes and paraphernalia of the establishment are handsome and the accommodations of a superior order. The very canvas itself is a grand show. " Thirteen large tenis are crowded into ene grand space, presenting the appearance of a little town, and here the 118 horses of the concern are stabled, the 163 attaches fed and their,meflschoked, the harness of . the animals mended, “at-requisite blacksmithing done, and, in fact, all the little details of every day circus life attended tv. The dressing-room is as large asan ordina- . ry show tent and well appointed; and everything around gives evidence that | ,the managers are not parsimonious in their expenditures, and that they aim ‘to give a good show on a grand scale, | and to please the public at any cost. Nearly 3,000 people’ were present at the two performances yesterday, and the opening was a very encouraging, and certainly a successful one. The | menagerie and museum were particular objects of attention, and the mul- : titude of curiosities astonished everybody. It is one of the most complete | collections on the road, and embraces many living wonders that will be new

‘to a St. Louisaudience. The performance in the exhibition tent is a most interesting and varied one, = The performers are all artists in their respect--ive lines, and what they do they do exceedingly well. There is a full corps of acrobats, voltigeurs, tumb-. lers, ete.,, who keep the ball rolling in’ lively style during-.the performances, and are thoroughly up in the ,latest‘ arenic eccentricities. The riding is | especially fine. Harry and Kosa Lee do some magnificent single and double acts, and were warmly received at each performances yesterday, the young lady being made the reeipient of many floral tributes from admiring lady friends at each jperformance yes‘terday. Miss Lee is also a splendid posturer, and can juggle knives, torches and innumerable brass balls as well as anybody in the profession. Miss Linda Jeal is one of the most daring and ‘reckless hurdle riders in | the ring. She is the only lady hurdle rider in the world, and.certainly the. only lady who can ride a horse with the dash and excellence which she dis--plays in her performances. Her ease, grace and skill astonished everybody, and she was not /forgotten when thebouquets were given -away. Stevens, : the equilibrist, was applauded to the echo as soorr as his portion of the programme was finished, and so was. the young lady who performed on the | aerial rings. 'The clowns, Messrs. Ward and Hopper, kept the crowd ina roar with their pointed jests, while the former on a slack rope and the latteron a pairof threestory stilts showed that they were capable of doingsome- | thing more than making people laugh. Altogether the -entertainment is a | magnificent one, and notwithstanding the magnitude and splendor of the street parade no adequate idea can be. had from it of whatis to be seen at Twelfth and Locust, until a person goes there and sees for himself. 2]

- 'An Obtuse Man, .~ - She was a stylish young lady about: 18 years old,and to accommodate a friend she took the baby out for an airing. She was wheeling it up and down the walk, when an oldish man, very deaf, came along and inquired for a certain person supposed to live on that street. She nearly yelled her head off trying to answer him, and he. looked around, caught sight of her’ baby, and said: . i Ly “Nice child, that, I suppose you feel proud of him?” = ' , j “It isn’t mine!” she almost velled at him. 4 ORI e - “Boy, eh?.

Fattening Animals.

- A very common error among farm--ers, which needs .correction, is the opinion that animals may be fattened | in a few weeks, and fitted for market | by heavy feeding, or, as it is termed, by pushing. Many farmers do not think of beginning to fatten their hogs or cattle for early winter market until | autumn has actually commenced.— “Their food is then changed, and they are dosed with large quantities of grain or meal, This sudden change often deranges the system, and it is frequently some time before they recover from it, From observation and inquiry we find that the most success--ful managers adopt a very different course. They feed moderately, with great regularity, and fora long period. The most successful pork raiser that ~we have met with commences the fattening of swine for the winter ~market early in the precedeirng spring. -In fact he keeps his young swine ina growing condition all through “the winter. He begins moderately, and increases theamount gradually, never placing before the animal more than At will freely eat. With this treatment and strict attention to the cleanliness of the énimals, his spring pigs, at 10 months, usually exceed 350 s, and have sometimes gone as high as 450 Ibs.; and pigs wintered over reach - a weight of 500 or 600 Ibs. The corn, which is ground ‘and scalded before feeding, nets him on an average $1 per bushel when'thé market price of:. pork is five centB per pound.

Potatoes,

. Asan article of staple food, no vegetable compares with the potato, In Ireland potatoes and buttermilk are the prinecipal diet, the average laborer consuming of the former ten pounds. daily. In Holland, boiled in fat with other vegetables,.they form the ordinary repast of the working classes, who seldom eat meat more than one day in the.week. ' Science teaches that -the best proportions of food for the -common wants of the system . are _about 9 per cent. of fat, 22 per cent. of -flesh-formers, and 69 per cent. of su_gar and starcli; hence, with the addi--tion of a little milk or butter, potatoes are capable of sustaining life and acﬁ’vity. To preserve a large percent‘age of the nourishing properties of potatoes, they should be cooked with their “jackets” on. They need to be. well cooked, with a considerable de--gree of heat; if boiled, they should be ‘placed at onee in boiling water; if roasted, the oven should bé moderate1y hot at the start; peeled and soaked in cold water, the nutritive, starchy matter is extracted and lost; with a slow oven theskin will be hardened and thickened. To secure the fullest benefits from this valuable vegetable, much depends upon a proper knowledge of the best methods of eooking.

-~ Cure For Hog Cholera. ' ~ Several of my neighbors; says a correspor.dent of the Ohio Farmer, lost nearly all their hogs; and six weeks ‘ago mine showed signs of disease, and I concluded to try “lye and pepper.” I prepared it as follows: Shell an ear of corn and soak in strong lye all night; next morning add half a teaspoon’ full of pulverized copperas—mix and feed in a trough. This was repeated the following morning, and & half teaspoonfull of pulverized pepper in the food, boiled . grits, every other morning for a week. Result: My hogs stopped dying, all that ate got: well, and are as thrifty now as I could wish. Theabove is a dose for a single hog. : e

For the second time the City of Glasgow Bank has shaken Scotland by closing its doors. This time its liabilities are estimated at fifty millions of dollars, but the actual direct loss will undoubtedly fall far short of that sum. The direct loss, in the shock given to confidence, the suspicion thrown upon Scotch banks, and the disturbance created in the London stock market, cannot be computed. There is no mystery about the cause of the failure. Like those of our own banks that have succumbed to the hard times, the Glasgow bank loaned money in good times on securities, apparently ample at the time, which cannot now be turned into cash.

Health Promoted.

~ Health is promoted by good and appropriate food. Such can only be had by using in preparing it, articles known to be free from poisenous adulterations, such as Dr. Price’s Cream ‘Baking Powder, which eminent chemfﬁi endorse. as being perfectly pure nd wholesome. ! ! :
