Allen' Htrennthening Vortlial cures Fe nale weakness; it cts directly upon thecansesof these complaints, invigorates and stiengthens the whole system, acts upon the secretive organs and allays inltaminatiou. Allen' Strengthen! no t'ordlal has never failed to cure mercurial diseases, pain in the bones, as it removes from the system the producing cause. Salt Kheum and Scald Head readily yield to the great alterative effects tf this medicine.

MCLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, ron tub ci-re of Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, dvsfepsia and sic:; ueapaciix. Sj mptoms of a Diseased Liver pAIN in the rtorhtsule. tinder the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure ; sometimes the pain is in the left side ; the patient is rarely able to 1 ie on the left side ; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, anil it hequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for a rhetima tism in the arm. The stomach is afreet ed with loss of appetite and sickness ; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax ; the head is troubled with pain.accompan ied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. 1 here is generally a con siderable loss of memory, accompan ied with a painful sensation of having left undone somethingwhich ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. O The pa tient complains of weariness and de bility ; lie is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin ; his spir its are low : and although he is satis fied 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 ol the abovesymptoms attend thedisease, 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. Mf Lane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all Bilious derangements and as asimple purgative they are ttnequaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS, The genuine Dr. C MV Lane s Liver Pills are never sugar coated.

Louiavill., Ky. AMERICAN MEAT FOR F.XULAXD. Noiue Fori lie. laforraallou on I liter- eat In a; Nubjeel. A correspondent writes to the Ixiudon Times: Having recently returned from a tiroloneed trin to the far west of Amer ica, and having made some inquiries in Canada and tne I nited states about the matter, I am in a position to supply ad ditional information respecting the de velopment of this new trade. The prin ciple uiion which the plan of meat and fruit preserva' ion is based is simply to keep these articles at a temperature just below freezing point. Theseven hundred tons of meat brought over laat week was landed in such good order as to have been mmediately sold. Jn fact, such is the quality of the meat, and such the condi tion in which it is placed upon the mar ket here that your correspondent was told at Sinithfield market that Canadian meat was sold here to met ropolilan butch ers, and sold by them without distinction of name, and alas! without distinction ol price. The plan of bringing meat to Knsland is-not onlv less exiiensive than transporting live stock, but it is placed on the market in better condition. Even alter a voyage from the continent, or even from Ireland, cattle must la? landed n a feverish condition after the unnatural experience of the discomfits of a sea voy age. Killed on their pastures, and only the marketable portion shipped to this country, the quality of the meat is im proved and the cost of the transportation essened. lour correspondent, " l. j. P.," points chiefly to Canada as the main eouice of a meat supply for this market, referring only incidentally to the far west. Allow me, however, to say that if we depended only on the domin ion for a supply of beef sufficient to re duce its price, we should, I leel confi dent, be disappointed. Our hope, so far as America is concerned, centers chiefly in the pastures of the central and western states, and especially in Kansas and Texas and the eastern portion f Colora do. The rich grasses of this region, its mild climate and abundance 'of water, give ii advantages over Canada and other states exposed to similar severe winters, in which stock has to be fed six out of twelve months. The Farmer says: A story was told us last week in Smitnfield. A wealthy gen tleman, having a west-end establishment, had read so much of this American meat that he wished to try a joint of it, and that he might be sure to have what be wanted, obtained an introduction to a certain salesman in the metropolitan market. Ol course he was received po litely, and was promised that he should have what he wanted. The salesman's son deferentially asked the gentleman who was hisbuicher. "Oh, so-and-so," was the answer, " we have no reason to complain, as he sends us the best Scotch beef he can luy." The salesman did not laugh just then but be-did so soon as the gentleman's back was turned, for he knew that " the best Scotch beef " which the butcher had supplied, bad for fully eight months past, come all the way from New York. We see that in the prov inces the consumers are getting a fair ad vantage out of the added supplies from America. In London the bu'ehers have reaped almost ail the advantage. Thev have bought as cheaply 9S they could, and sold as if they had bought at the highet ruling rates. Wise in their gen eration, they do not label the meat they sell. ; The Appearance of General Escobetlo. One of the most interesting personages in the suite of President Lerao undoubt edly is general Eseobedo, the captor of the Emperor Maximilian. It was to Eseobedo in person that the unfortunate emperor surrendered his sword on the melancholy cerro de las Campanas at Queretaro on the 16th of Jlay, 18"7. General KscolwJo is an officer of military bearing, of rather slight figure, though ot good height, taciturn and reserved in manuer. aud much more like the popular American idea of a Mexican than any of 1 the president's cvnipaiiiona.

These are soft and yielding, and though of pure wool, have scarce more weight tuan the sheerest cambric, lne greatest number are self colored in the small neat figures that have been fashionable during the winter, such as armures, basket- woven tlesigns : raised checks and blocks, stripes with quadrille bars -raised upon them, matelasse, and damask figures with open lace-like meshes woven around them. Summer camel's-hair, cashmere, and other twilled stuffs are rhown, but diagonals are no longer nov elties, and the small figures will have the preference. Experienced merchants say that gray will be more worn than it has been since brown replaced it two years ago, and that fawn, steel and drab shades will be popular ; also that the fancy for myr tle green and navy blue will continue, especially when these colors are combined with white in tiny checks smaller than pin heads, and in various oriental combi nation bath of figures and colors. De Beges. De beges are no longer plain or merely twilled, but are imported in the stylish small figures, armure9, stripes, checks and metelasse, patterns in shaded gray or brown. Raised irregular squares are fceen in de bege stuffs, and the fine cashmere de beges with thick twill is provided in abundance in the blue steel shades that were so difficult to find last summer. These will be eho.-en for the first spring suits, and will be used as traveling and morning dresses all through the summer. Ciieck8 and Stripes. Checked wool ens will be worn again, but the U-st qual ities will be finer even than pin head checks, because these very fine checks cannot be copied bv domestic manu facturers. Thefce will be chosen in myr tle green and white, ink blue and while, gold on brown, and of cour.-e black with white. These remain in favor lor misses and young girls, and will be displayed in both double and single widths. There are also checked fctripes witb solid stiipos between, or else brown; cardinal and white are the colors. How to Make Pkkcalk 1 'remits. Ladies who make up theirsummer ward robes in February and March usually be gin with wash dresses, leaving tiicir handsomest suits to the last, in order to get the latest fashions, hence novelties for the wash goods art- the first to be provided by the importers, and we iaten to record these. Ihere will Ie both polonaises and basoues with over skirts. Two kindsof percaleare required for most suits; one of these is of solid color, the other is in stripes, sprigs, or in India designs with borders. Ihere are long simply shaped princesse polonaises of indigo blue percale, striped with gold and white, woin, over a plain blue per cale skirt, of which the merest glimpses of its two or three narrow gathered ruf fles are shown, as the long polonaise has for itaonlv draping two pleats in the middle of the bacr below the long iviar guerite corsage. On its side form, and quite far back, is a large square plain blue pocket, with two ru flies across the ton. and a strap ot pale blue ribbon tied across the centre and finished with long lo ps aud ends. The striped sleeve has similar trimmings lor cutis, lhe plain blue collar is turned over iii English points in front, lhe button'1 down the entire front are blue vegetable ivory, or else smoked pearl, sewed on witb eye The trimming around the bottom is a bias blue band, piped with gold-color, and finished with cotton fringe of mixed blue, cold and white. A similar suit has a polouai-e of brown percale striped with cream and white, and trimmed on the pockets, wrists, and down the entire front with long-looped lows of cardinal ribbon. Another polonaise, with clinging princesse front, and the.back draped and hanging in square tabs, is of India red figures on navy blue giound. There is a plastron of plaiu blue down the front, and the border is of solid blue. The plain blue percale skirt has three scanti ly gathered ruffles bound with cardinal red. In the same fashion is a polonaise of wide blue and cream stripes, to which diagonal lines are added, a solid blue border edges the pilonaise,. and the flounces of the dark blue skirt are bound with pale blue. The collar is standing behind, and the deep points turned over in front have the corners rounded. The basques ani overskirts are of sim ple shape. The basque is longer in front and back than on the hips, and is very high about the neck. The overskirt is long and straight in front, and shorter behind. The striped and cretonne per cales are pretty for these, and are trim med with pleatings or gathered ruffles of color, headed with wide white Smyrna lace or English embroidery on white muslin. Down the front and on the sides are both made of two materials used on the dress. Harper' Bazar. KoTilllea att Honae and Abroad. A droll fancy lately developed at cos tume balls which, by the way, are in high favor abroad at the present time nromises to be ouite the fashion. This consists of travestying the head only, and produces, aa may be imagined, both gro tesque and frightful effects, the ordinary ball toilets appearing in violent contrast with the parodied polls rising out of them. Among the more pleasing delineations was that of "The Marvellous Cat," in which the head of a fine specimen of the feline race was seen peeping from on the dxrerl coiffure of a ln!v n d ' It mrU This same idea waa ji.i mode.

Gauze scarfs which are drajicd in many different styles are in vogue now, and there have been several novel adapta tions of them recently. A remarkable specimen worn on the occasion of Miss Roosevelt's wedding, over a rich toilet of white satin, was of pale-hi tie pauze--a tint known & moonlight and richly em broidered with a shower of snow-ball, the fringe composed of artificial floners to match. Another unique one, 01 me VOL. XXII. NO. 34. same shade of blue, was alivs with the designs of flying swallows. In evening shoes the novelty consists in wearing the buckle and bow at the side and not in the centre of the foot. This will hardly prove more than a pass ing whim, as it detracts lrom the sym metry and adds to the size of the feet. Delicate shades for evening wear have gained at last the victory over dark hues, and cardinal red is already a thing of the past. Gray is the prevailing color among spring woollen fabrics, which are show ing a goodly supply of exceedingly fine checks. In purchasing black materials ladies are more and more studying the needs of their respective complexions, the old idea that this is necessary only where colors are concerned, having long ago ex ploded. To set off to advantage the freshness of a blonde or the fairness of a red-haired woman, a soft shade, as the black of velvet, is wanted, while for a brunette the black ought to be enliven ed by a glossy appearance, such as is ob tained in Lyons satin or silk, .r even in faille. It is iff bun tun to remove one's cloak or other outside wrap in the ante-room,as for a soiree, that nothing less brilliant may be seen in the reception room even in daylight, than charming toilets with coquettish bonnets to match.

Although you will know all about the opening of parliament before this letter reaches you, it is very unlikely that any thing will have happened to clear away the confusion which at present surrounds the political parties. Seldom has a session opened amid so much doubt and misgiving on either side. Many mem bers of the opposition are, of course, eager to attack the ministry but upon what ground The answer seems simple the eastern question. I do not myself believe that there is so much to be made out of that as many people try to per suade themselves. I think you will find that the public generally are not dissatisfied with the acts of the govern ment, although they may not approve of the words of some members of it. After all, what was there for England to do ? Canon Liddon and his clique says that she ought to have joined with Russia in expelling the Turks from Europe. Rut I have not myself come across anybody who holds that opinion, or who seems to think it at all desirable that England should plunge into an unnecessary and sentimental war. A ministry which had allowed the country to drift int war, would have been swept away in a storm of popular passion. A nation may have great resources left within it. but it is scarcely fitted to enter into a life-and-death struggle with a foreign power at the moment when its trade is almost paralyzed. And that is the condition of England at this moment. In all the large manufacturing centers of the country we hear of nothing but depression and the disappearance of bus iness mills working on half time only or altogether closed, factories shut up, Iarire establishments which are not re ceiving now as many orders in a year as they used to recieve in a single month. Where are the "cotton lords" to-day ? They seem to have suddenly become ex tinct. The great trade upon which they flourished is withering away. The change has come with startling suddeness, and no ono yet seems to fully realize the im mense consequences which it must cany with it. However, no one appears to understand what has brought the catas trophe to pass. " It can only be a teni lorarv depression," said a manufacturer frern Oldham to me the other day ; " the surplus goods will be cleared off the mnrtet and then trade will revive and then trade will again." I was sorry to discourage hiin by giving him reasons for holding a dif- ferent opinion The cotton trade, in my opinion, is Cashing from England, not temporarily, ut permanently, and no one who is en gaged in it yet realizes the fact. And what has produced the revolution ? The great and silent advance made in cotton manufacture on your side of the Atlan tic. I need not tell you that hitherto England has held practically a mono poly in this branch of industry. She supplied the world. Rut now where- ever a piece of English cotton can enter a market another piece ot American cot ton is to be seen side by side with it al ways as good, sometimes lictler, in qual ity, and low price. This last fact is one for which I was unprepared when I le gan to make inquiries into the subject. Rut a fact it is ; and it is fatal to the re covery of English trade. There is a common, yet useful, kind of cotton gods much used in families where there are young children. It is of A mer ican manufacture. We tried to get it over here last summer, but it was not generally known. The goods which most nearly approaches it were pom coarse vnd dearer. At last we found a shop where it was imported from America, and there the sale for it was increasing every day. People who saw it at once said, " This is better than English cotton, aLd the price is lower. Where do you get it from?" They were astonished to hear that it came from the mills of New England. Here, then, we are beaten and under sold in our own speciality, and actually at our own doors. I can go across the road and buy lietter and cheaper Amer ican than English cotton. In India, also, we are elbowed out of the field by the same keen and indefatigable rivals. Who would have believed ten years ago that such things were sissible? To be can did, there are many who do not believe it now. It is an unwelccme phenomenon, and they are determined not to see it.or try hard to explain it away. Rut there it" is, destined, aa I have said, to make mighty changes in the whole current of Fnglish trade and prosperity. I find plenty of yieople talking about the land question and the eastern question, about the misdeeds of the ministry and the suffering Bulgarians. Rut I hear no one discussing anorganic change in a branch of English trade which was once thought vital to the welfare of the country. Per haps we can do without it ; some other trade or manufacture may spring up to take its place. Rut one thing I am cer tain that the palmy days of the cotton trade in England are over. It is not a mere partial subsidence which we see it is dissolution. When that truth omeato be recognized, as it must one day be, vou will find that the attention ot the people of this country is fixed less I nnon the Bulgarian peasantry than upon the sufferings of the unemployed and poor in their own land. Social Life and Legislation. Among the practical difficulties of the day there is none greater than that of steering between the danger ol over-leg islation on the one nana, ana me pe dantry of no legislation on the other. It confronts us in every department of so cial life. There are men who call ujon us to prescribe for the whole world in what kind of houses they shall live, what they shall eat, what they shall learn, and by and by it will come to be added, as ol yore wherewithal they shall be clothed. People sjiend too much on their dress, they are negligent of the opportunities of education, they drink too much, tney eat ioou mat is mjunoun, they are careless of ventilation, and what is the legislature good for if it can not correct and, at leant, try to suppress these evils? limlon Timr.

New York isgivingbig"charity balls" for the ioor; and it must tie quite a treat to a starving man or woman to read that Mrs. So-and-so wore white silk, court train, trimmed with knife-pleated ruffles; and that Mrs. Lofty's diamonds were valued at $10,oo0. Such gorgeous descriptions are calculated to appease a man's hunger and cheer him up. Rut, after all, the best charity ball for a hungry man is a codfish ball. The essence of the last successful play "The Hetman" at the l'aris Odeon, is contained in the following lines: I have lived: I have loved: I have sung; And my life wa. a dance.

This is ti e way to get to the north rude. One man has licen proposinga rail way over the ice. No such bad plan after all; but nothing to the proposal of an other enthusiast who would set off in a balloon from the ship's quarterx, and, with a favorabie wind, try to cross the pole. They might lie carried right over to inhabited regions on the other side; the distance, not over one thousand miles, seems quite within the compass of balloon undertakings. Or, ng;tin. set ofr in a balloon from the ship with a favora ble wind, and without rise far above the ice, establish a series of small provision dfpots, say at twenty miles intervals, marking the sjsits carefully by means of astronomical oliservations and flags, or lights. The balloon would be furnished with apparatus for laying hold of the ice where it might be desired to disembark for this purpose. Supjxming, after the pole was reached, that the balloon was incapacitated for return to the ship, the party, lightly eauipiK-d, without sludges, might make their way back on foot by the help ef these depots. Walking twen ty miles a day, they could thus accom plish the journey bac k in say twenty days." This sounds absurd at the first blush; but it really is not sc impossible after all, especially it some simple effect ive means could be found of generating a lighter gas, and these means carried in the balloon, which would never rise above twenty feet above the iee, being kept down by drag ropes trailing over the surface.
