Two boys were recently tried at Wol verhampton, England, for stealing goods that were exposal outside of a shop door.

C aiixien House is a low, wide etructurn uli fArtUCB Endows that open out on tbe lawn. I sm not sure, but itwcmt to me that it Is all on the ground floor. I did not sec any staircase, nor do I recol lect of hnving seen any up -stairs windows. The Louse is completely embowered with tnoa. ite&ching the door, I descended, aided by a solemn footman, dressed in deep uiournin, with a large crape bound upon his arm. Thecnrri.-ifre can drive up to the v ry door, ami you enter at once in a small dark wik hall, where the fleor ia bare iiolii-hed wood. There are two or three large cases of solid-looking wood in the hall, carved in fantastic patterns, that might be t-ideboanls or tombs. Turning to the left, the solemn footman ushered ine t urough two heavy doors, placed about a foot apart. Into Uks rwept!n-rooin. Somehow, when one thinks of a King or a yueen or anyone having to do with roy Mtr. one thinks instinctively of corsreous i display and elegant surroundings, but i you become undeceived on seeing the re j wption-room of the Km press Kugeiiie. j The room is some eighteen feet square, and the celling is high. One window opens out upon the lawti, dressed with chintz curtains. A larze round table stands in the center, with an ordinary red i cover. A portfolio lay upon it. There were a dozen old-fashioned chairs, covered with faded cliinw, and one easy chair clot to t!w wide-open chimney, where a DMgnt wood nre burned, and these, witn one lire-screen completed 'be furniture of the room. Two paintings hung, one be- sidethe fireplace and over the easy chair, representing an old-fashioned scene, where the dance was at its height, and where each face U one well known in historv. The other hung so in tlie shade I could not see it. While making this survey of the barely furnished room and its comfortless aspect, the door opposite me, in the corner by the chimney, opened, and the Countess de Clary came in and saluted me, and, seat ing her3elf beside me. began to speak in French. Mie is a small and not over hand some woman, but with a yery intelligent and pleasing face. She is very vivacious, ami in ten minutes had asked me some lift' different questions. 1 waited, for I thought if her Majesty would see me it was not my place to hurry her, and 1 hard ly knew if I should ask for her, or waitfo her to send for me anyhow. After a while the countess said : You would like to see her Majesty?" 1 replied that I had come with that hope, and then, smiling, she went out the same door, and th5 Duchess of Malakoff and her pruty daughter came in and chatted a few moments. The most of their conversation was that they did not like England it is too trixte and cold and foggy. They com plimented me on the impression my little attention and verses had made upon her Majesty. ROYALTY RECEIVING AN AMERICAS IN BED. Presently the Countess de Clary came and told me that her Majesty, being slight ly indispo ed. had kept her bed that day, but if I would excuse her being in bed she would receive me there. 1 followed through a small room, furnished in as poor x manner, where her Majesty sits most ol her time at work embroidering or reading or writing, into a rather larger room, where her Majesty lay in bed. A bright lire made the room look cheerful and pleasant. The bed is a much nicer piec of furniture than any thing else in the house, and is handsomely hung with silk curtains. Her Majesty lay there among the pillows, decked with a dainty little white laee cap with blue ribbons, and a handsome night-dress rich with lace and embroidery and tied at the throat with a blue tie. A tiny table held a cup of choc olate and a silver tray of bonbons, while another little table held a draughtboard, with the men in position, which showed that she had been playing. ller Majesty smiled on seeing me. and told me to be seated, and then began speaking, saying that 6he had been very much touched by my delicate flattery. 1 seated myself bcfoie her and remarked well each trait in her still 1-jvely visage the while she spoke. She made two or three remarks upon the disagreeable things not pertaining to a republic. I told her that in a woman's heart there are two sentiments more deeply ingrafted than love of tonus of government syia path-for misfortune and admiration lor courage and true womanhood. She smiled, and th-.-u said: You have just come through France, you say ; what do you think of France as a republic?"' 1 replied that, although France was an apparently sueeesslul republic, it was only upon the "surface, and that in reality it was u failure; that Frenchmen are not made of the right stuff for republicans. They lack that fixed purpose and firmness Her Majesty looked thoughtful, and fin ally said : " So you think France cannot exist as a republic?"' I replied, ' Xo." She then continued : " lint 1 would like to understand why France cannot be a republic when we all tee that America Is." 1 replied that France could be a republic were it not that her people are not repub licans in any sense of the word. Also, a republic is born, not made. Our republi cans who molded our Government went into a wilderuess with an ax in hand, and r"Hl beautiful and glorious actuality that ineycan lee; not a chamber lull of men like themselves, who present no one of the qualities which charm his heart. Her Majesty looked at the Countess de Clary and smilingly said : 1 never heard this question better argued." Then she said : " What do you think of my son, the Prince Imperial ? Do you think the people love him?'' I replW-d, all I had ever heard speak had spoken of him in terms of afl'ectron, both in England and France, as well as wher ever I had been. She asked, " Have we many Wends in America ?' 1 told her that I thought all America were her friends, perhaps now more than ever. " The Americans are good people, and 1 always liked them." she said, thoughtful ly; then rising on her elbow she said, earnestly : "The" Prince, my son, will soon reach his majority and finish his studies at Wool wioli. I o you not think that will have much influence in France in his favor?" 1 replied that it undoubtedly would. "An, well, he is fit to reign in all ways," she sighed, " and he loves nis country and his people, and wishes them well, and so do 1." Then she changed the conversation, and asked me a tew personal questions, as to mv writing, and when I told her that I was now publishing three books, she re- quested that I should send her a copy of each. I aked permission to dedicate a California, all ot whicn I answered as a true daughter ot that blessed land ought to. and then was permitted to retire. On going out of the dKr of the bedroom I turned to take a last look at the beautiful Empress who had carried all hearts bv storm, be they of kings or peasants. She lay back there, her rich, golden hair loose- the to wer-Iike strength of her round, white neck made more marked by the blue tie. The soft white hands arc as plump and dimpled as those of a baby, and her coroph xioa UatOl deJightully clean and fine.' Tbe profile is clear cat and of a high cast of beauty, and her mouth is a marvel of sweetness and sadness, except when she tmilea. She bade me revoir instead of good-by, and so some day I hope to pass another hour with the queen liect Queen of all the ex-Empress of France. On leaving her room the Lady of Honor had some refreshmenU brought, and also on leaving placed In my hand a present from her Majesty, which, it is needless to say, I shall keep as long as 1 live. Back again to the station, where some one waited for me Impatiently, back to Indon to take the train for Southend, where I remain till further notice. Olive Harper. SJLM. ITABD'S BRIDE. Th Damfffctrr Fmma TTew Otitaa Lawyer d nt U Widow of Loalii u'i Vint OTernor Lorcly ;Mrdora TYoni tha Sew Orleans Thnea. An interesting case has been on trial be fore the Surrogate of New lork, the par ties to which have been associated with important events and characters in the history of this State. It is the applica tion of the grandmother of Sam. Ward, Jr., who died In Paris in 1SG5, leaving all his property to his mother, and declaring that he did not know his father; and yet that father was the well known Ram. Ward, the king of the lobby at Washington and the most famous dinner giver on this con tinent; a gentleman renowned for his ac complishments, his universal knowledge, his conviviality, wit, and his large rircle of acquaintances and intimates in all tlie fay capitals of the new and old world. It should certainly, too, have been known to the son of such a man that his father, when he first experienced the pride of pa ternity, was a member of the then great commercial and banking firm of Prince, Ward, & King, in New York. It w:is regarded, indeed, at the time, more than thirty years ago, a very bril lient match when the lovely and accom plished Medora Grymes married the ele gant, witty and wealthy young Sam. Ward, of the great English firm. Medora was the petted daughter of our great law yer, John K. Grymes, who, for more than forty years, was regarded the head of our bar. The older members of our bar will remember with what pride and affection the great advocate used, even in the midst of a trial in court, to draw from his pocket his gold snuff-box, and gaze upon the lovely medallion painted on it in ivory, with the inscription Medora a son pere. Upon this daughter the old lawyer lavished all his love and devotion. For the rest of the world he manifested little re gard, charity or indulgence. Indeed, he was regarded, somewhat unjustly, as a misanthrope. He certainly was a merci less satirist. But the utterance of the name of his darling Medora never failed to dissipate all his sourness and gloom, and call forth the tenderness of his nature. She was the daughter of a mother from whom her father had been long separated. That mother is now the claimant under the will of her grandson, the once lovely Medora, the legatee of her son, having survived him but a few months. Here is another exampleof the longevity of the Creole race. Mrs. Surzette Grymes was tlie gay and beautiful widow of the first Governor of Louisiana, W. C. C. Claiborne, to whom this province of Lou isiana was delivered in 1804. Governor Claiborne was a favorite oi President Jefferson, and had voted for him as a mem ber of Congress, and, receiving the bril liant position of Territorial Governor ot Louisiana, bore a prominent part in the organization- and defense of this State. No public olHcer was ever held in greater re spect by the people than was Governor Claiborne. Marrying as his second wife a beautiful Creole, lie died a few years alter retiring from the Gubernatorial chair, leaving his widow and several children, who now survive. Among these are Mrs. M. Marignv and Mr. Claiborne, late Clerk of the United States Court in this State. Our honorable citizen, W. C. C. Claiborne, who also still lives, is the son of Governor Claiborne. Some years after the death of the Gnvvbuy of the party who otters me oest oar- ernor, lm widow marii- a colonel .lonn i: Grvmes, then in the meridian of his fame and distinction as a lawyer. For some years they lived in grand style, anu werej"round tlie town, anu uiey nave no iraue, the leaders of the fashionable life lu the city. Finally, however, their matrimonial relations were interrupted, and Mrs. Grymes departed for the North with her young children, and purchasing a country seat on Staten Island, resided there for many years, superintending the education of herehildren. Colonel Grvmes resumed his old bachelor habits, and lived for many years a solitary, unhappy life, holding lit tle or no intercourse with any member ot his family save his loved Medora, who ma'e several visits to him, during which the old lawyer's moroseness entirely dis appeared and Lis spirits resumed their old vivacity. It is the son of this lady who testifies his devotion to his mother by the will which is in controversy, though it is hard ly conceivable, and, indeed, the fact of her absence and illness at the time of his death would disprove an inference, that she could have been a party to the untilial reference to his father as unknown to him. Should the will be maintained, the venerable grandmother, who must be in fhe neigh borhood of 100 years old, will be the chief beneficiary thereof. A Ten Months' Chase After Two Rob bers. Last summer, says the Wichita (Kansas) Beacon, a couple of nice-looking young men landed in Wichita. They appeared to have some money, and enjoyed them selves hugely under the name of Frank Reed and Jo. Perry. After a time they skipped out, and nothing further was heard of them until last Monday, when Mr. John Scanlan, detective for the New York Central and Hudson River railroads, put in an appearance in search of money on deposit in one of our banks to the cred it of Perry. From Mr. Scanlan we learned a few facts regarding these men. Perry's real name is Isaac H. Baxter, and Reed's George Vanvelser. Tlie latter was em ployed as clerk in the railroad company's office at Poughkeepsie, and the former is a carpenter. On the 3d of last May they robbed the company's office of a package containing some $30,000, and left for parts unknown. Mr. Scanlan started in search of the culprits but never obtained any positive clue as to their whereabouts un til a short time since. He tracked them to Wichita, where they appear to have separated. He finally found Baxter at Denison keeping saloon and having in his company a woman he had picked up here, by the name of Nettie Vanvalkenberjr. Baxter was shipped direct to New York, and Mr. Scanlan started after Vanvelser. Van was corralled at Denver, and like his partner immediately forwarded East. The detective found $C,8C8.30 in money on his person, besides jewelry. Baxter had over $G,000 deposited in eight differ ent banks, which Mr. Scanlan is now gathering up. He will recover about half the money, the lads having spent the balance in having a "good time "seeing the world. Mr. Scanlan has a wide repu tation as a detective, and the persistency and patience with which he followed after the thieves for over ten months shows that he is deserving of all the credit he re ceives. Sandal-Wood. Sandal-wood is the produce of several species of trees gowing in the East In dies and the tropical islands ot the South Seas. Its compact, fine grain adapts it to the manufacture of work-boxes and orna mental articles ; whiie its powerful fra grance, destructive to insect-life, com mends it for use in cabinets for the pres ervation of specimens of natural history. Its odor is due to an essential oil. White sandal-wood (Santalum album) is a native of mountains in the South of India and of the Indian Archipelago. The tree re sembles myrtle in its foliage, and is much branched. The stem is seldom more than an inch in diameter. During the year 1S72-T3. SS0 tons of this wood, valued at $U0,0u0, were sold in the Province of My sore and Curg. The wood Is not abun dant, and is extremely expensive. A species of sandal-wood (.V. Freycinetianum) grows In the Sandwich Islands. The ' Chinese make much use of it for burning ' in their temples and houses, first reducing itto6awdust and mixing it with paste. A third species of sandal-wood (S. Fast) is found in the Fiji Islands, bnt has been nearly extinguished by commerce. Whxn a hog roots in a snow bank its nose knows snows. H0XE INTERESTS. Lraox Pra.

Curing Hams and Bacon. In curing hams and bacon it will be found advanta geous to use the quantity of common soda as of saltpeter 1 ounce each to 14 pounds of ham or a piece of bacon, using the usu al quantity of salt. The soda prevents that hardness In the lean of the bacon which is so often found, and keeps it quite mellow all through, besides being a pre ventive of rancidity. This receipt "has been very extensively tried for fifteen years, and invariably approved of. Washing Powders. The basis of all washing powders is the soda ash of com merce, blended with common Scotch soda in variable proportions. The best of them consist chiefly of the former article. The alkaline matter is reduced to coarse powder, and stirred up with liquid size or with a decoction of linseed, Irish moss, or British gum. It is then dried, and again crushed or powdered, and at once put into packages, into which it is rammed tight and covered np immediately. Really good soda can be bought at a penny a pound, and this is only required to be rendered partly caustic with a little quick-lime in order to make an excellent washing pow der. There are a great many things in the household, attention to which is indis pensable to health and happiness. The kind of air which circulates in a house may seem a small matter, for we cannot see the air, and not many people know any thing about it ; yet, if we do not pro vide a regular supply of pure air within our houses, we shall inevitably suffer for our neglect. A few specks of dirt may seem neither here nor there, and a closed door or window appear to make little dif ference ; but the little dirt and the little bad air are apt to sow the seeds of ill health, and therefore ought to be removed. The whole of the household regulations are, taken by themselves, trifles but trifles tending to an important result. Something for Business Men to Heed. " An Old Merchant," in the Toledo Blade, writes as follows about advertls- In a cheap little book published many years ago, entitled "How to get Money," I find the following remarks on advertis ing : "Whatever your occupation or call ing may be, if it needs support from the public, advertise it thoroughly and effi ciently, in some s'.ape or other that will arrest public attention. There may possi bly be occupations thit do not require ad vertising; but I cannot well conceive what they are. Men in business will sometimes tell you that they have tried advertising, and that it did not pay. This ia nnlv when advertising is done sparingly and grudgingly. Homeopathic doses of advertising will not pay, pernaps ; u is like half a portion of physic, making the patient sick but effecting nothing. Ad minister liberally and the cure will he per manent. Some say they cannot afford to advertise. They mistake; they cannot afford not to advertise." If that was true forty years ago, it is still more forcibly true to-day. Business has thrown oft many of the forms that .hampered men engaged in it. Retailers onurer tie tneir traue 10 one nouse, por expect to be personally acquainted fwith each one of their customers. People gains, bene menu or sirangrr. aiiiiuujcu the young firm of Sharp & Beatem are selling goods very low, it is not known - - . - . . . i.i u jjj. Sow & Steady have a good stock, are well 1 l..t. u . c i . .1 1 aa t'ni 1 ou tVlf Known, anu ciunn w a tl,Lui' cheapest. Sharp & Beatem must do something to inform the public that they have a betterstock of goods and are selling cheaper than Slow & Steady ; they must advertise. To-morrow it will be hearlded afrout the city that Sharp & Beatem re selHjig goods cheaper than any firm in the city.' J'eople will wonder if it is true ; they will call " just to price a few things." buy much or little, and go their way. Slow & Steady notice that a great deal of their old trade is going across the way ; what shall they do to regain it? They conclude they must advertise; and in this way advertis ing is an absolute necessity. To gain cus tomers we must advertise ; we must adver tise to keep them. We must create a de mand for new goods by advertising their merits : we must hold the sale of old goods by keeping tlieir good qualities be fore the public. Every business should be advertised, no matter where or what it is. If a moderate custom were sure among a circle of friends and acquaintances in a given locality, it would still be for the merchant's interest to advertise and increase his trade. The main expenses of doing business will be about so much, be the volume transacted greater or less. A large business can be done at a much less per centage of cost than a small one. A man can better afford to sell une hundred thousand dollars' worth of goods at a profit of ten per cent., than fifty thousand at fifteen per cent. A merchant may expect to hold trade bysellinglow, but he must have first made it known that he is selling low, or he will not get the customers in the be ginning. Ways of advertising are as numerous as the busy brain of mail can invent. The most unmitigated humbugs in soliciting advertisements, are the men who have " hotel cards," " depot cards," "business cards," " maps," and similar abomina tions. Men will invest in these wild-cat enterprises who think an advertisement in the daily or weekly paper is so much money thrown away 1 Of course money can be wasted upon advertisements as upon every thing else. It would be folly for a hardware mer chant to advertise his wares in a paper es pecially devoted to the druggists' trade, or the reverse. A man who depends upon local traffic should patronize the local pa pers. A Widow Believed to be a TTltch. From the Covington (Ga.)Enterprlse. In the county of Newton, eight miles from Covington, three families reside near together. The first household consists of an old maid and her widowed mother; tlie second of husband, wife, and two children ; and the third ot an old lady and son. So strongly has the delusive idea implanted itself in the minds of the two latter fami lies that the widow is a witch, and in league with the devil, that they refuse to allow her to visit or to borrow any thing from their houses. They say 6he has made witch balls from hair gathered from the tail ofa tricky cow. which, if rubbed against any article, will charm any one who touches it. These people place horse shoes over their beds and under their door steps to kill the influence of the old wom an's charms. They verily believe that she intends to witch the whole neighborhood and bring some plague upon its inhabit ants.

Baraum'i Latest WonAer-l Colossal Exhibition. Barpmf't TTwUy devotes nearly twsaot otnna to explaining and extolling tha gnat enterprises with which P. T. Baroum is aiaa log historical his forty years' career u tha moat liberal and daring showman in the world. The iUtUUc which Harper Brother give as from authentic source are nearly overwhelming. They make aa ordinary head dixiy. Mr. Barnum haa always boaatea that he gave his patrons double their money'a worth, and his claims are generally acknowl edged ; but thii time he seem to have far out stripped himself. Last year he obtained from the Connecticut Legislature a charter for "The P. T. Burnum s Universal Exposition Company," with a capital of a million of dol lars; Mr. Barnum, who la President of the company, and Mr. Conn, hie Manager, have spent many months in Europe perfecting their plans. The object of this great company, as they announce, is to elevate amusements, di vest them of all objectionable features, and thus render them worthy the patronage of the most moral and refined classes. They say that eventually they will have a score or more of exhibition (traveling and permanent) in America and Europe, and they intend that their chartered title shall be a guarantee of the merits of whatever they bring before the public. The present season they have but two exhibition. One is Mr. Barnum' s well known "Museum, Menagerie, Circus and Traveling World's Fair j" the other is simply called "The Great Roman Hippodrome." Mr. Barnum seems to have devoted years to per fecting this great enterprise, and nearly one year of bis personal atteiition waa paid to it In Europe. At an expense of teveral hun dred thousand dollars he erected a great hip podrome building in the heart of New York city, and under an outlay of over $5,000 each day he has run his establishment in New York for nearly a year. This Exposition Company are engaged to ship the entire Hip podrome to Europe next autumn; mean while they have undertaken the difficult tak of transporting it entire to the principal cities in America, llarper's Weekly says: "The Great Roman Hippodrome will re. semble a moving camp. There are 1,300 men, women and children in Mr. Barnum's service, and the stock includes ? 50 horses and ponies, besides elephants, camels, English stag and stag-hounds, trained ostriches, lions, bears, tigers and other animals. For tbe exhibition of the menagerie and the various shows, dis plays and performances connected with the enterprises, two enormous tents, each 500 feet in length and 300 in width, have been provided, one of which will be kept in advance in order that no time may be lost by delaying in making ready. The question of transportation by rail a very serious one was solved by the construction of 150 cars twice tbe usual length, built expressly for ihis purpose. Among them are a number of 'horse-palace cars, constructed with com modious stalls, in which the horses can lie down and rest while on the journey and arrive at the place of exhibition quite fresh for the per formance. Besides moving the tents, animals and all other material in these Hippodrome cars, berths will be provided in those devoted to the personnel of the company for nearly all the Employes. Besides the great exhibition tents, and stable tents for the horses and other animals. There is also attached to tbe company a large corps of blacksmiths and carpenters and builders, some of whom pre cede the show several days, to make ready for the exhibition bv preparing the ground, erect ing seats, etc. The dressing-room tents alone will cover more ground than an ordinary circus. " To move such an enormous establishment without hitch or delay requires the employ ment of clear-headed, practical men at tbe head of each department Everything is so arranged aa to move with the smoothness and precision of clock-work. At the appointed hour the canvas will go up, the street proces sion will move, the performance will com mence. When all is over, and the great tent empt ied, everything will be packed up by those detailed for the work, and the caravan, with out the loss of a miaute, will be on the move toward the next place of exhibition. " The programme of performance will be varied and attractive. Donaldson will make daily balloon ascensions with a car larg-e enough to contain a company of five or six persons, at a cost of about (.IKK) a day for this feature alone. Then there will be the ' Ro man races' In chariots driven by 'Amazons;' the 'liberty races' in which forty wild horses are turned loose in the areua, in exact imita tion of the famous carnival races of Home and Naples; 'standing races,' in which the riders ttand on bare-buck horses; hurdle races for ladies; flat races by English, French and American jockeys; besides camel, elephant and ostrich aud monkey races. Auother tea ture will be the exhibition of Indian life on the plains in which the actors will be scores of Indian-, with their squaws and pap-pooM-JS. They will put up a genuine Indian encjuipiuent, hunt real bull aloes, give war dances, pony races, foot races against horses, exhibitions of daring horsemanship, lasso throwing. A band of Mexican riders, mount ed on famous mustangs, will make a pretend ed attack ou the Indian camp aud give a mimic but faithful representation of the wild scenes enacted on the Western frontier. The English stag hunt will be an exact pict ure of the sport iteif, with a company of 150 men aud women in full hunting costume, aud a large pack of English stag-hounds. There will also be many other interesting and at tractive features, the mere mention of which would make a small volume. " Mr. Barnum certainly deserves great credit for an enterprise w hich is calculated to afford a vast amount of innocent, popular amuse ment; and although this gigantic venture involves an enormous outlay of mouey it will present too many attractions not to be gen erally sustained." Amazing as this exhibition seems from the description given by Uatyjer', we can say, from actual observation, that one feature is to be introduced into tbe traveling Roman Hippodrome more interesting and instructive than any other. It is the great proctssion known as " The Congress of Monarch." The llarper's omitted mentioning this because, probably, they supposed Mr. Barnum would not dare incur the expense of transporting such an enormous atTair through the coun try. But he will do so, and here is a brief de scription of this dazzling and bewildering exhibition, as given by a New York contem porary: " Of all the gorgeous pageants the world ever saw the 'Congress of Nations' is tbe greatest, and how the surpassing genius of even Barnum could produce it is a wonder. The costumes are true to life, and many of them are genuine, having been procured di rect from the nationalities which they repre sent The individuals employed to personate the historical characters have the most faith ful resemblance to the originals in face and physique. Each nation finds its special por traiture ia some kind of triumphal car, brill iantly bedecked with appropriate flags, em blems, colors and intricate devices, and all sorts of characteristics in the way of pecul iar uniforms, animals, soldiery, attendants and music Scores of glistening gilded chari ots illumine the arena with a halo of luster, as it were, and the display of royal splendor is far more imposing and impressive than words can describe, thrilling the auditor with unspeakable amazement and admiration. " Aa the name of the grand Congress implies, it is a stupendous gathering of the Monarchs ot the universe, bringing ia vivid view the living Kings, Queens, Ruler and Potentate of tie oast nine centuries, culminating in an affecting finale so touching that it must a waken the emotions of a stoic. Uer Majesty, the Queen of England, heads tbe glittering column, surrounded by her royal court and followed by a long ancestral line, the notabil ity and richly-uniformed "life guardsmen." Then France, in the person of Napoleon the First and his famous Field Marshals; Ireland, Rome, Russia, Germany, Italy, Turkey, India, Japan, China, and so on, until all the Mon arch and Courts of tbe entire world pass in review, winding up like a jewel-besprinkled coil around the continuous circle. To look upon this beautiful historical procession in all its grandness and greatness is equivalent to sitting in full view of the courts of all the earth, so truthfully realistic are the bewilder ing picture revealed in rapid succession. Such a dazzling half mile of solid gold, jewels, silver, precious stones and tin sel could only be produced after - years of preparation and the expenditure of half a dozen competencies. Any attempt at imita tion on the part of ambitious and unscrupu lous showmen for years to come will result in the most inglorious failure. None other than the 'Prince of Showmen' himself would undertake it, and none other than the great and irrepressible Barnum could achieve o signal a triumph." This entire exhibition I advertised to ex hibit in New England in May, New York, etc., in June, Chicago early in July, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan in July and August It is due to our readers that we inform them that Mr. Barnum announces that certain im porters in Cincinnati have copied his bills, posters, cuts and advertisements, and with a Tew broken-down circus horses and wagon will precede hi exhibition in tbe West and by announcing the GTeat Roman Hippodrome will attempt to make the public believe that it is his unrivaled establishment He cautions the public against being thus deceived, and reminds them that it would be impossible with any amount of money to organize and equip even a sem blance of his establishment without a prepa ration of several years. The Cincinnati Uuily Enquirer of Feb. 27, 1875, aay that this pre tended " Hippodrome" is simply the "wreck of that stupendous fraud known aa the Great Eastern and Great Southern Circus and Me nagerie combination, which exploded at Sol ma Ala the 16th of last November, a num ber of horse having to be sold to pay the expenses of shipping the show to this city, where the proprietors left a number of their employes unpaid and penniless, and vamosed. Who the real proprietors of the business wei I IS remains a matter of considerable mystery, but It la generally believed that Andy Height, one Gibbon and George Weber and other were large stockholder. The defrauded ciroua men and others connected with the concern finally obtained the aid oi the law to compel a settlement of their just claims, and the whole matter end ed in the show being attached at Hamilton, and la an auction aale of the circus prop erty at Lebanon yesterday afternoon. " The best of the joke ia that De Haven, Web ber, Gibbons and others are about to reorgan ize a Hippodrome out of the 'wreck' to start out with next summer on another tour. " The whole show was rather a poor concern, only a few lion being in good condition, and the menagerie including no really rare or val uable animal." Our reader have only to use ordinary cau tion to discover which is the real and which la tbe bogus concern, though we aee that Mr. Barnum complains that some ehows obtain an employe named Barnum, and then adver ise " Barnum' latest enterprise," and resort to other devices wherein they use the name " Barnum" to deceive the public. He says that all exhibitions with which he is connect ed will give his initials, " P. TV nd also pub lish bis portrait by way of identification. Tu be forewarned is to be forearmed. "A word to the wise i sufficient." A Mr. Barnum' great Hippodrome travels under an expense of nearly $10,000 each day it can exhibit only in large cities. These call be reached by cheap excursion trains. Mr. Barnum say he can easily lose half a million of dollars by this cummer's experiment, and that in any event he shall not bring back his Hip podrome from Europe. It 1 patronized and approved by the clergy and religious classes, as well as by school-teachers and all heads of refined families who desire their children to improve their mind under this great system of " object-teaching." Beyond all question this Is the most extensive and extraordinary exhibition on the face of the earth, and prob ably this generation will " never aee Its like again." A $1.00 Book for $1.50.

It i claimed that disease, with a few exceptions, has been conquered by tlie research and intellect of enlightened men ; and yet a noted professor of New York admits that " of all sciences, medicine is the most un certain," and that " thousands are annu ally slaughtered in the sick room." Cer tain " schools " of medicine nre in exist ence, one of which " makes the patient ill," in order to claim a cure ; and another administers "sugar-coated bread pills," relying upon nature to effect her own cures. Dr. J. Walker, of California, an old and respected physician, tried both modes ot treatment and both failed. He then ap pealed to nature's curative herbs; and now enjovs rugged health. He has given the benetit of his discovery to the w orld, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters, and since its introductioifhas sold a quantity almost large enough to make a small har bor, or to float the " Great Eastern." Its curative properties are attested by grateful thousands. r noi Pnv Tfirirp. This article need no comments from us, but the real worth of so valuable a compound compels us to give publicity to it.
