A Great Musical Treat.

The bare announcement that the Alleghanl-
ans are coming is enough to fill any hall in
the city. They are to appear Saturday even
ing August 18th, at Meonian Hall, in this city.
During their great tour round the globe
the concerts of the Alleghanans were honor
ed by the attendance of hundreds of thou
sands Of delighted listeners-Kings, Queens,
the age patronized their entertainments, and
lavished upon them the most fattering DEM
onstrations of approval. The bells used by
the Alleghanians were manufactured in
Switzerland, expressly for them, during their
late visit to Europe. Tickets can be secured

This has been day of general rejoicing
among German citizens, in consequence of
the victories of Prussian arms, and many
business houses have suspended operations.
The Germans are full of enthusiasm and free
ly predict the capture of Paris within the
next few days. Steps will be taken at once
to orga ize preparations for a mass meeting,
and for grand public rejoicing, which will
be the creates; demonstration of the German

HealtHl's Best Defence.

1.-THE weak eateth herbs,"a says St. Pau,
so that eighteen hundred years ago the val
ue Of medicinal plants was appreciated.
In the Old Testament botanical remedies
are repeatedly recommended, but in no
passage Of sacred history is man recon-
mended to swallow calomel, or blue pill,
or any other mineral preparation The
sick were directed to est herbs to strength
en- them, TO purify them, 70 heal them, to
restore therls In that day the art of max
ing vegetable extracts was lnknown. The
herbal medicines were mere missions.
It was reserved for q later age to unifethe
sanitary essences Of tonic, aperient and
ambitious roots, barks and plants, with an
active stimulant, and thus secure their rap
i'll diffusion through the debilitated or dis
ordered system. The croWning Triumph
