population Of about 100 900 persons, not
including the Austrian garrison and the
strangers temporarily resident there. 1t
is situated in wide open plain, between
the Olona and Saveso rivers, tributaries
of the river Po. 1t has been the scene
of many a conflict OF arms between rival
nations, and has at different times, been
under the dominion Of Spain, Austria and
France. 1t was twice captured by the
French, and in 1905 the first Napoleon
made it the Capital Of the King tom Of
Italy. By the treaty of 1914, it was re
stored to Austria, with the adjoining ter
ritory.
Milan is very ancient city, being
founded 400 yevrs before the Christian
era. Ii was inhabited and embelish5d by
many OF the Roman Emperors, and has
been the birthplace of many eminent
men. including a number Of the Popes.-
1t was several times almost destroyed du
ring the wars which desolsted the Euro
pean Continent. 1t now contains MANY
fine public buildings, and the Cathed edral
begun in 1885, is one of the fines: in the
world. 1t also contains the Church Of ST
Ambrogo, where the Emperors Of Ger
many were crowned. The city is nearly

entered by ten gates. 1t is distant from
Vienna about 400 miles.

LAGER BEER, Speaking OF this ma.
tionaI German drink, the Norwich Bulle-
tin says:
King Lager" was the Rppellation be-
slowed upon Gambrinus, Duke Of Prevent,
who lived in the eleventh century, The
Germans had been addicted to the use of
wines of their own manufacture, but at
this time the vineyards failed, and wine
was too scarce and high for the peasantry
to use. For 90 years the vine presses
were dry, and various drinks calculated
to be cheap and nutritious but not intox
icating, were concoctet. None met with
such popular favor as the drink invented
by the Duke Gambrinus. and it WAS then
accepted, and has since been held as the
great National beverage. The subjects
OF King Lager are not confined Just now,
to the German class of citizens in this
country, many of the "native born" being
found among his most admiring deyo'
tees.

Anecdote Of Cicero.

While Pompey and Cesar were living,
Cicero, it seems, had dream, in which
he thought lie called some boys, sons Of
senator's, up to the capitol, because Jupi.
ter designed TO pitch upon one OF them
for sovereign Of Rome. The citizens ran
with all the cagerness Of expectation, and
placed themselves about the temple and
the boys in their praeterta sat silent. The
door suddenly opening, the boys rose up
one by one. and, in their order, passed
round the god, who reviewed them all,
and sent them away disappointed but
when Octayius approached, he stretched
out his hand 10 him
" Romans, this is the person who,
when he comes TO be your prince, will
put an end 10 you civil wars"
This vision, they tell us, made such an
impression on Cicero, that he perfectly
retained the figure and couutenance of the
boy, though he did not yet know him -
Next day he went down to the CamPt"s
MdrtiUs, when the boys were just return
ing from their exercises and the first who
struck his eye WAS II lad in the very form
he had seen in his dream. Astonished
at the discovery, Cicero asked him who
were his parents and he proved to bt
the son OF Octayius, a person not mucl
distinguished in life, and OF Alta, sister
/ 10 Ce eSar. AS he was so near relation
and Caesar had no children of his own
he adopted him, and by will left him biz
estate. Cicero after his dream, whenever
he met young Octavius, is said to have
treated him with particular regard, anc
he received those marks of friendship will
great satisfaction,
As is known, Octavius was elevated tC
supreme authority in Rome, in connection
with Mark Antony and Lepidus at the
early age Of eighteen years. He after
wards arrived at sovereign power; and
his reign, under the surname of Angus
tus, is among the most illustrlous il
history.

Destruction OF AN AUSTRIAN STEAM
BOAT AND TWO HUNDRED MEE-The fol-
lowing is an extract from the letter of The
Duly Ntws' correspondent, dated June 81:
The day before yesterday one of the
Austrian steamboats, which run on the
Lake of Garda hnd started from the op.
poslte bank with the object Of reconoiter
ing Girbsld's forces at Sale. As
after the action of Yirle il was thought
prudent to strengthen the Cacciatori dclic
Alpi, Piedmontese battery was sent
there with TWO battalons OF Fanu's d.
vision. They had just arrived when the
Francis Joseph steamboat was ordered to
steer to the Brescisn side OF the Gardu, she
therefore steamed in hat direction but at
the moment she was entering the harbor
Of Sale, the Piedmontese battery opened
It's fire upon her, Our guns had been so
well directed that two OF their round shot
soon destroyed her elegant stern. or
course, this was the signal for hasty
Setreat, but as she was about to urn her
helm, well directed grenade fell on the
middle of her deck. Two seconds after.
ward tremendous explosion was heard 4;
the grenade had made its way into the
magazine, and in less than five minutes
the Francis Joseph was in flames. A dis.
tress signal was hois.ed, but before the
Benedek could be sent from Peschiera to
help her crew, she sauk in the midst OF
the lake. Not one Of the two hundred
men she had on board was saved all OF
them perished. either burned to death by
the flames, or drowned in the waters OF
the classic Bonacus."

Headache, and Bilious FeVers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Origi-

by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague such
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam

That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks OF
this buleful distenpor. This "CuRB" expols
the miasInatic poison of FEVER AND AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
mcnt Of the disease, if taken on the first ap-
proach Of its prcmonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also tbs
cheapest, The large quantity we supply for
dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER

1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach Of ull--thc poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and Ger

no QuininG or mineral consequently it pro
duccs no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agnci IS not alone the consequence
Of the mia,matc poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothach0, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
