LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY.-From a late
sermon of the Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler,
published in the Independent, We take the
following horrible picture of life in New
York City:
In the City of New York, the number of
those women who, with a lamentabe truth,
are styled "abandoned,' p cannot be less than
10000! In 1858, the number OF professed
prostitutes, by actual census, was $50; they
must be more numerous now, and their roll
Is continually iDcreasDgl Already, they
equal the population OF two average rural
townships. Ii they stood in a line, two
abreast, they would form a procession two
and halt miles long, that would reach from
the Battery to above Union Square! OF all
this ghastly army, one half are under twenty
years Of age. The average duration of an
abandoned woman's life, alter she yields her.
self to the horrid trade, is just four years
1t only requires that brief space of rousal
aud champagne, OF revelry aud rum, to re.
duce beautiful girl, fresh from the country,
Into loathsoue mass of disease, ready for
the paupers grave.
In addition to the tel thousand prostitutes,
there are probably twenty thousand more,
who are either kept mistresses" or the oc>
casional frequent rs of houses of assguation
II the names Of all these could be published,
1t would make fearful quaking in society,"
and some knees would "smite together" be-
hind brown stone fronts aud beneath Paris
laces. Some years ago, New York was horr
rided at learning through the press, that
hcentious man had been conducted to a room
in house Of iniamy in which he found his

sin!' Neither one had suspected the in6del.

Essence Of. Jamaica Ginger

A6F This valuable preparation, containing IN
a highly concentrated form all the properties OF
the Jamaica Ginger, has become one of the most
popular domestic remedies for all diseases Of the
stomach and digestive organs.
As tonic, it will be found invaluable to all
persons recovering from debility, whether pro-
duced by fever or otherwise, for whilst it imparts
to the system all the glow and vigor that can be
produced by wine or brandy, it is entirely free
from the reactionary efforts that follow the use
of spirits of any kind.
1t is also an excellent remedy for females who
suffer from difficult menstruation, giving almost
immediate relief to the spasms that so frequent
ly accompany that period.
1t gives immediate relief to Nausea, caused by
riding in a railroad car, or by sea-sickness, or
other causes. 1t is also valuable as an external
annlication for Gout, Rheumatism Neuralgia, etc.

RECEIPTS FOR SUBSCRIPTION
From the Marysyille appeal
Importance Of Early and Thorough neg
istratiOn.

The circular recently issned by the State
Union Central Committee in reference to an
anticipated Congressona election will or should
have the effect to hasten the work OF registra-
ton. 1t is desirable that every Union man s
name should appear the Great Register 1t
has been said that many voters decline to regis
ter on the ground that so long as they are un-
registered they are exampt from jury duty
Some of our judges having decided that quail
fed juryman must be a registered voter, ana 1t
is possible that this may have created an apathy
and Indifference to early regstration--tnough
probably no man means to sell his franchlse
rights for such small price. lie who would
do so deserves disfranchisement- But the early
decisions to the effect that legal Juryman
mus be registered have been reversed, and the
judgment of the Court now stands that all are
liable to jury duty before the passage of the
Registry Act.
The SPIRIT of the Times, in an article on 1" Ear
ly Conventions" probably writes in accord with
the sentiment of the Union party press. The
editor says
As It rhe intention Of the Union party Of this State to
endeavor u secure full registration Of the voters the
sooner the proper steps taken the better. As matters
,,nd n ,ber coud not be an election held in this State
with safety Men well of what is

If faithfully used according to directions, will

Diseases of Pregnacy. The specific action of
this medicine is immediate and certain upon the
Uterine and Abdominal Muscles and Ligaments,
