External Application
In the World.
It rapidly heals Ulcers, Old Sores, and Discharge'
Weunds; Itching Piles and other Itching affectious
that have l^en the torture of a lifetime, thus affording
unspeakable gratification to thousands; Barns,
Scald#, Wounds, and Festers; all itching and Scaly
Emptons of the Skin, and all Affections of the
Scalp, including Loss of Hair. Nothing like it has
ever been known t'< the most inttlligenc physicians.
It has swept a host of poisonous remedies oat of existetce.
It is revolutionary in its composition and
mode of treatment, and succeeds in curing every
external affection. At every etagre it is ably assisted
by Ci'TIcitba Soap, which is a part of itself medicinally
and at the same time the most delightfully
fragrant and refreshing Toilet, Bath and Nursery
Soap in existence.
Citicvra Resolvent, a powerful purifying
agent and livtr stimulant, should be taken to neutralize
and resolve away blood poisons, caused by
the virus of scrofula, cancer, cuiker, malaria or
contagrious diseases, which maintain and foster diseases
of the Skin and Scalp.
SALT RHEUM.
I<ifea burden from tlie suffering* caused
by this terrible disease.
Messrs. Weeks & Potteb : Gentlemen,?Please
accept my most t/rateful thanks for the great, very
great, comfort I nave received from the use of your
cuticuba.
For the past eight or nine years I have been
troubled with that areadful disease, Salt Rheum.
For months I would be helpless,?my very life a
burden to me.
I have used everything in the shape of medicine,
both external and internal, but with no effect.
My hands were in a terrible condition, the backs
of them being a?l raw, and I thought I would try
CUTICUBA.
1 tried it, and lo! it was as if a miracle had been
performed, for I will take my oath that in three applications
my hands were as smooth as a new-born
babe's.
I presume there are hundreds, if not thousands,
who know of my case, among whom there maybe
some one similarly altiicted, and if so I would earnest
y advise him to give Crxici ba a triaL
Yours, very thankfully,

I was given a trial of your OimcoaA, and, thank
God, my hands are well. I never had anything to do

Ion may put this in the paper and welcome, and
may it do some other poor sufferer the same good
it has done me! I am well known here, having lived
here almost fifteen years and kept borders for a

Krentano, whose " Literary Kmrj'V1ui"
on l nlon square Is familiar 10 New
1orkers, has had an interview with a reporter
? at the Windsor hotel of
."attrity,where he is nowvisiting. The folBSSr?"1*
<aSCn ,rom t0e
now t0 wliat they were
Lu Vh i " IfSJltag.?' wlien 1 firit came to
?[ '. 1(1 Mr- Nrentano. " Perhaps It Is
, , IP ? man to feel proud at his own
success. I feel so at any rate, and I don't wish
to conceal It. I am a native or the Austrian
Tyrol, and when I landed in New York could
not speak a word of the language: so I went to
school for three months and acquired a sr,uttering
of English. I then got acquaintlil
with a young American. Hewentintothe
fruit business, and I into the business of
selling newspapers. In three mouths I los*
every cent 1 hud. Then 1 borrowed fio from
a li iend and Invested It in copies of the
New York Hera'd, the English Punch and
the London Illustrated A'ws. 1 sold them readily.
You have doubtless noticed this malformation
of my right hand, which Is useless t o mo
had 1 to depend upon It for my bread. A gentleman
who had seen me selling papers observed
it, and accosting me one day gave me
h's card and asked me to call upon him at the
New York Hotel. I went, and taking me to the
proprietor lie sought permission fro:n him tor
me to stand at the entrance of the hotel tj sell
rapers. It was granted, and for over a ve.ir I
stood there selling papers. That gentleman
wasi Air. Fow ler, then the Postmaster of New
) ork. \\ lxlle there I saved $.;>"> and rented a
small place on the corner ot Houston street ana
Broadway and increased my stock, going in
mote largely for Kuropean papers. Perhaps
you may recollect the celebrated Burden mur
der case; It was then I made my first fortunate
venture. Crowds gathered round mv litre
store, and the rush during the ileenan
and sayers tight, some time later, was
so gieat Hat i had to have two colicemnr
to keep the trade clear. I sold over
thiee hundred copies of one English snorting
paper alone. Then came the war. wh?>n l
issued four bulletins a aay, which were all
eagerly lead by the excited crowds. Times
grew more prosperous, and mv next move was
to 70s Broadway, where ! pala a rental of $i
a year. Here I commenced to make a stvctalrj
or Paris papers and to receive subscriptions
from the clubs. I supplied the rnlon. Knickerbocker,
the Manhattan, the sr.. Nicholas, the
t ernary, the New York Club, the Yacht Club,
and the Mercantile Library Association of New
York. Business increased and I became more
prosperous, and at the eod ot ten years I bo ird
ed at the New York Hotel, where I had been
selling papers as a newsboy. In l?7n I moved
to i nlon square, where my business Is s*il'
carried on by my nephews, who pay a rental of
f i.ono a year. They keep a copy of every new
book published.
? I have conversed with Charles Dickens, and
phaii never forger his readings. The Itev. i>r.
E. II. Chapln and nr. Ilall are among my best
mends and fomer customers. Governor Andrew
ot Massachusetts would come and ta.k to
me by the hour; General Dlx was one of mv
most part lcular friends. Sir Edward Thornton,
the British mlr lster, came personally to thank
me for sending a parcel of the latest papers to
t he Duke of Edinburgh when he was here. Lord
Walter Campbell bought from me three hundred
copies of the New York papers containing an
account of the supper he gave at the Travellers'
Club of New York on the night of the marriage
of his brother, the Marquis of Lorne, to the
I 'i i ncess Louise. The Duchess of Kosebery wa3
one of my best customers, and alwavs insisted
0 a carrying her books and papers herself to her
own carriage. Lord Lunraven has also oalifd
upon me at various times. Lord Dufferin did
me the honor to include me among the institutions
of New York. Wllkle Collins and George
Augustus Sala have lounged at mv store for
hours at a time?noting what was going on. I
remember Mr. Collins saving to me, 4 What an
elystum you have for us literary peopleThe
last letter written by Artemus Ward from London
was written to me on business.'1
Mr. Brentano retired from business on a
handsome fortune two years ago, and is a living

shrewdness.
An English Trainer outwitted.?a rather
amusing incident of the Caen races is thus descslbed
by the special correspondent ot the
London S}*>rt?rnan:?'The Caen races had their
comic incidents, of course. The clever trainer.
Mr. II. Jennings, overreached himself, and
again gave way to that irascibility tolerated
ev ery now and then as an excess of eccentricity,
but which in tills case would have ended in
rather a more cerlous manner had not some
irieLdly arm linked Itself within that of th*
veteran trainer and led him out of the weighing
room. The victory of Etolle in the first race of
Sunday, beating Ismael and Prologue, and winning
a hatful of money tor his owner, must have
distracted his attention and prevented Mr. U.
Jennings from noticing that Enjoleuse and La
cigale,both of them very nicely la the omnium,
were on the ground and entered la the Prix
aw riette as to be claimed for i?o sovs. About ten
minutes before the time fixed for the race Mr.
Jennings, who had no Intention of running
cither oi them, and had simply entered them to
show how very slightly he valued them and
their omnium chances, sent them away. He
was too late, for Baron sellllere a&d Mr. C.
Prat t had seen them and put In a claim fur the
amount for which they were entered. plU3 the 1
stakes and entries. There was a tremendous
hubbub when the clever trainer found he had
teen beaten at his own game. He declared he
would not give up the horses, but when the
stfcv. ards threatened to enforce the law he considered
prudence the better part of valor, yleldinc.
however, with very bad grace. He had a
long conversation with Baron Selldere and hts
trainer, but was reminded that he had acted In
a similar manner some years ago, and had
chuek'ed and crowed at having outwitted his
colleagues. M. Aumont. to whom the horses
belonged, must ha >~e had very small cause to
congratulate his trainer on his jine**e, as 3i-2
apiece for two three-j ear-olds of such promise
Is a ridiculous price, when a few davs previously
he had refused over ?1,ihhi for one.
Mr. Gladstone In a recent speech on "Beauty
In Manufactures," observed that very few of the
industrial productions of America have anv
beauty at all?a remark which was greeted with
anpiause by his audience. " The circumstances
01 tLeir national existence." said Mr. Gladstone.
" down to the present time have, from the scarcity
of labor and other causes, compelled them
to do a thing in the shortest and most effectual
way for answering the immediate purpose, and
the beauty of production has been entirely overlooked.
I may illustrate this by reference to a
pursuit to which I have myself personal relation?the
cutting or wood. The American axe
Is an axe not intended to cut a tree away neatly,
hut to cut a tree aw ay quickly. The American
does not care a pin about beauty of workbis

Theories about Wubat.?An interesting
Paris journal, La Repubtique Franquiae, stopped
Its political arguments the other day for a little
while in order to let its readers know wheD
they mivht expect an end to this "inundation
ot American wheat," which is now tlowlng over
France and England alike, supplying the
hungry poor at a cheap rate with the material
ror delicious bread, and making the farmers,
whose crops are worth so much less for the
competition, grumble and long for the return
of the Emplie to make bread dear and farmers
tlcli. The writer In La Itepablique Franqui*
holds that It Is not much of a shower, that !t
will soon be over, and that we are getting the
most out of a virgin soil, restoring little to it
and that it will soon be exhausted. He refers
especially to .Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, and
fays, "the island of Jamaica Is now sterile from
the same cause." It will at once occur to thImpartial
and unprejudiced nubile that the man
who reasons on the Mississippi valley with a
few little facts drawn-from the history of the
island or .Jamaica has not that grasp or his
subject that might enable him to heft it with
absolute crmidenee. Nay, even if he compared
the history of the Atlantic slop-e and applied
the facts to his theory of these throe states it
wou'd be necessary to inquire it he knew the
whereabouts ot Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa.
He leaves out or account the Mississippi river
and what It has been doing for that country In
all the centuries that went betore the settlement
of the Western states.?[.v. Y. Herald.
