HRAUTuUL CITY.

Batavia-the capital city of the
island of Java-according to the de.
scription of q newspaper correspond
ent, is brilliant specimen of oriental
splendor. The houses-which are as
white as snow-are placed 100 feet
back from the street, the Intervening
space being filled with trees, literally
alive with birds, and every variety Of
plants and flowers. Every house has
a piazza in front, and is decorated with
beautiful pictures, elegant lamps, ca
ges, &C., while rocking chairs, loun-
ges, and ottomans, OF the incest de-
scription, furnish luxurious accomoda-
tions for the family--who sit here
mornings and evenings. At night the
city is one blaze of lights from the
lamps. The hotels have grounds OF
eight and ten acres in extent around
them, covered with fine shade trees,
with fountains, lowered gardens, &c.
Indeed, so numerous are the trees,
that the ci.y almost resembles for
est. The rooms are very high and
spacious, without carpets, and but few
curtains. Meals are served up about
the same as at first-class hotels in the
United States, although the habits OF
living are quite different. At day
light coffee and tea are taken to the
guests room, and again at eight
o'clock light refreshments. Attwelve
breakfast is served, aud at seven din
ner. Coffee and tea are always ready,
day and night. No business is done
in the streets in the middle of the day,
on account Of the beat. The nights
and mornings are cool and delightful;
birds are singing all night. The Their
mometer stands at about 80 degrees
throughout the year. The Island Of
Java contains q population of 10000.
The island abounds with tigers, ieop-
ards, anacondas. and poisonous insects
Of all kinds. The finest fruits in the
world are produced in great profusion.

The recipe is given to all physicians
That they may know what they are using.
The combination Of Sarsaparilla with StiIlingia
Is well known to all medical men as
The best compound to purify the blood ever used.
It cures scrofula in all its worst forms
All diseases of the skin it cures effectually.
Syphilitic Swellings, Erysipelas. Scald Head,
Salt Rheum, Female Complaints, Inmors,
King Evil, and all diseases arising from any
impurity of the blood.
Physicians will tell you to let alone all pro-
prietary or quack medicines, as they call them.
Why? For the simple reason that they are
put up with printed directions and the name
and label is copyrighted. Show them the
formula of preparation, and in nine cases out
ten they will approve of it. There are testi-
monials from physicians whose prejudices are
overbalanced by their good sense of the excel
lent virtues of Scovill's Blood and Liver Sirup
and who are using it for their private practice.
