A NEW CRINoLINE.-The London cores
pendent of the Belfast (Ireland) News Letter
says:- "A tradesman i'm Piccadilly has made
an astounding discovery. As benefactor of
mankind the result of his researches entities
him to TAXA rank with CoPFRNIcUs, CALLED,
HUNTER, FuLToN, WATTS, STEPHENSON and
DAyy, or any Tor all) of the philosophers who
have surrounded their name with nimbus of
glory. This distinguished person has met
the want of the age. He has discovered
crinolinc which won't get into eccentric or I'M
becoming angles when ladies get into ON
nibuses or press through crowd. The ar
ticle in question is called the "Ondina, or way
ed jupon," and the inventor thus describes its
wonderful proprieties:- 1t does away with
the unsightly result of the ordinary hoops; ;
and so perfect are the wavelike bands, that a
lady can ascend steep stair, lean agaitst
table, pass to her seat at the opera or occupy
the fourth seat in a carriage, without incon-
yenience to herself OF others, or ptovoke the
rude remarks of observers, besides removing
or modifying in an important degree those
peculiarieties tending to destroy the modesty
Of the English woman and, lastly it allows
the dress to fall in graceful folds.p To be
able "to modify in peculiar degree all those
peculiar tendencies to destroy the modesty OF
English women" is in itself magnificent
achievement for which theinvenlor deserves

A FTER suffering sixteen years and trying every.

fields aud pastures that good for any to take
1t has been taken by children but three years old
and from that up TO people of seventy years and has
effected a cure in almost every case. Some people
are troubled with other complaints in connection
with this, aud he does not claim that this medicine
will every disease that people subject TO- but
those troubled with the Piles need not despair MANY
who have been troubled with the Piles but few
years, have been cured by the of single bottle;
but for those who have had the disease in their blood
twenty or thirty years, it will require more.
This medicine has been taken by hundreds in the
