country for the extraction of teeth, without
any unpleasant results in a single case, the

demonstrated that the most delicate persons,
even those in the last stages of consumption,
can inhale the pure gas with perfect safety.

been so long denied them. The entertainment
consisted OF music, Iand speech making; and
in each portion of the programme there was
an earnest endeavor to surpass. The music
was of decidedly artistic order, and the ad-
dresses were listened to throughout with the
greatest attention.
MIR, John G. Bowers, the President of the
League under whose auspices the entertain
ment was given, made some remarks at the
rations of the institution. The regular report
was then read by Lieutenant A. NJ Green. after
which Mr.. Brown delivered an address on
Universal Suffrage" Mr.. Kerns, Of the State
Legislature, and several other gentlemen, like
wise addressed the assemblage.
The first mOTceau on the musical programme
was the BolerO, from the "Slc11lan NesperS,"
which was sung by Madame Brown with fine
effect. Then came duett from Lucla, rendered
by Messrs T. j. Bowers andI. d. Cliff, the former
OF whom is well.known to the public as the
colored Mario" Mr.. Bowers fully sustained his
high reputation on the OCCASION and Mr.. Gin
acquitted himself with great credit in the duett,
as well as in the subsequent solo OF sleep,
Gentle Sleep" Then MIR. Bowers rendered the
ever popular "Good-by, Sweetheart" in ex-
outside style; and the musical portion or the
proRramne was closed with the Laughing
| Trio" Through the Kindness OF Mr.. j. @.
