A New Union Club Sensation.

Having diamond monograms put on the clasp! of garters is done to identify them in case they are lost anywhere. Then by theii description they can in that way be distinguished from all others. A, young lady who resides on Lexington avenue purchased a line pair of these from us about two weeks ago through having lost one, which was afterward restored to her, and has got a party of well-knewn members of one of the clubs not far from Madison square christened the “Knights qf the darter.” The way it happened was this: The young lady, who is rather pretty, was getting in a Fifth avenue stage in front of the club. A crowd of members, like ‘Lorillards old hens of the Union Club,’ who were sitting at one of the windows, saw her, and noticed as she entered the omnibus something like a blue ribbon fall from beneath her dress. When the was away on its journey one of the members remarked that tne blue object that the lady dropped had something valuable attached to it, for he saw it shine. After all had passed their opioion as to what the thing might be, one member said it looked more like a lady’s garter to him, and he was going to get it to make sure of it. He started to go for the object, but at that moment three or four ocher members jumped up and pulled him back so as they could get out and secure the trophy before him. Then a regular scrimmage took place to see who oould get the garter first. They bolted out the door helter-skelter, but a more quick-witted member leaped out of a front window, and, scaling the low railing that extends arouna the grass plot, secured the garter before any of the rest. The young lady came to me /or another garter, but we advised her to advertise for the one she lost. An advertisement was put in calling for the lost 'blue band,' and a few days after the gentleman who got it came here and Inquired for the owner. He at first refused to give up the garter until he was introduced to or told who the owner was; so that he might see and present it tq her himself. We gave him her name, and he handed over the “blue band,” not caring after that to see or hear any more in relation to it, for it'turned out the lady was none less than the wife of a prominent banker and one of’Ae most honored members of the same club in front of which the garter was at first dropped. These gentlemen have since that little affair been called nothing in the club but the “Knights of the Garter,” and there is one particular member who wants to know “how that English-sounding title came to be placed on members of a New York club.—Louisville Courier-Journal. The London Standard says of Frelinghuysen’s paper on the ClaytonBulwer treaty: “The answer to all this rhetoric is, the treaty has been made and ought to be kept.”

A Fish in Fetters.

A few nights ago,while Mr. George O. Walker, of Hartford Couaty, was engaged in scooping for herring, be felt something strike the net which proved to be a spoon headed mallet fourteen inches in length. The most remarkable part is that immediately behi« d its dorsal fin a small piece of cord, presumably a piece of fishing line, some two or three feet in length, was attached to the strap. In what way or. manner the fish became fettered in such a style is a mystery.— Baltimore American.

Chronic Ailments

In chronic ailments resulting from fixed bad habits of the body, the removal of the evil to be permanent, must necessarily be gradual. Good health is maintained and nourished by the proper attentiop'toThp requirements of the body. of excesses. It jus wasted and destroyed by over-taxing the mind with study, anxiety, evil habits, intemperance, and vicious indulgence. Keep the body and mind nurished by using that friend of temperance and long life, that Queen of all health renewers, Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, and Nature will soon assert her mastery over disease. A pig recently born near Brown’s Mills, N. J., without hind legs, has become extraordinarily expert in the use of its fore legs. Wnen in no particular hurry it draws itself along on its hind quarters; but, when It is a question of getting to the trough at feeding time, the singular beast balances itself upon its fore feet and trots along with the happiest combination of grace and efficacy.

Guilford, Conn., friends of Rev. W. H. H. Murray take no stock in the stories of his dreadful doings in Texas. His old farm at Guilford, comprising several hundred acres, mostly rocks, is worked by G irmans and owned by a Boston man. Murray’s wife, Isadore Hall, of Washington, Conn., and a graduate of a New York medical school, is said to be studying in Germany. The annual fish dinner of the Ichthyophagus club took place at the Palisades Mountain House, on the Hudson, last week. The bill of fare was composed of thirty varieties of fish, with champagne. Mrs. Jane Merryton, of Paris, Ky., writes: “I have been cured of great suffering, caused by weak lungs and kidneys, dyspepsia, etc. My habits are now very regular, and I find comfort in living. I used only two bottles of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla.” One of the most distinguished mathematicians lives in New York city, where she has for over thirty years instructed captains and officers in the naval, revenue and merchant service in their mathematical and nautical studies. The daughter of a wealthy ship-owner, she sailed in her father’s vessels with her husband, who was captain. She thus acquired a thorough knowledge of practical mathematics, and has done more to make life safe at sea than any other one individual. Spencer C. Coe, an almost destitute police-court lawyer, of Buffalo, aged sixty-five, looking among some old papers resurrected a deed to 230 acres of land in Wayne county, Michigan, which has been missing twenty years. The'land was purchased by him in 1807, and is very valuable, Wayne county now being the one inwhioh the State Agricultural College is located A man in Wayne county,New York* is suing a school teacher for the value of a jack-knife, which he took from his son, a pupil in the school, two years ago, and failed to return. V“Many silly people despise the precious, Dot understanding it.” But no one despises Kidney-Wort after lmvtnK xiven it a trial. Those that have used it a*tree that it is the best medicine known. It* action is prompt, thorough and la-ling Don’t take, pills, and other mercurials that poisou the system, but by using Kidney-Wort restore the natural action of ali the orgaus. A machine for grooming horses has been invented. If it is ever tried on a mul *, we shall have gome of the working parts of the ma chine on exhibition.—New Haven Register.

A Secretion that Contaminates the Blood.

When the bile is diverted from lta proper channels, into the blood, wnich is always the case in liver complaints, it ceases t > be a healthy eecretion and becomes a poison. Its abnormal preseu e in the circulation and stomach is indicated by the suffusion of the skin with a hideous saffron tinge, by headache, vertigo, nausea, pain in the right side and under the liuht shoulder blade, Dy indigestion, obstruction of the bowels and other minor symptoms. Order may be substituted forthis state or chaos, and further bodily evil averted by using the benelicient alterative and tonic, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which, by relaxing the bowels, promotes the escape from the circulation of bilious impurities, besides rendering the action of the live regular, and removing every trace of dyspepsia. This pleasant and purely vegetable anti-btlious medicine is not only infinitely more effective than any form oi mercury, but Is on account <>f its freedom from hurtful properties, infinitely to be preferred to that jft>i£onous drug. Twenty-five thousand dollars have bee* raised among the Yale graduates for athletic grounds at Yale college. John A. Cockerill, managing editor of the Bt. Louis Post-Dispaten, rides at the head of a local cavalry oompany as its captain. Long service in journalism probably has taught him that the sabre is 'mightier than the scissors. WasangroK, D. C_ May 15th, 18M Gsxtlkmex—Having been a suffarer for a long time from nervous prostration and general debility. I was advised to try Hop Bitters. I have taken one bottle and I have been rapidly catting batter ever sinoe, and I think it the beet medicine I ever need. I am now gaining strength and appetite, ffhioh was all gone, and I was in despair until I triad yoar Bitters. I am now well, able to go about and do my own work. Before taking it I was oompleUly prostrated.
