The GALAXY produces in Its September
number the first chapters Of the promised no.
vel By that prolific magazinist, Mr. Justin Nc
Carthy. The title is .sJudlth, a Tale ofTwo
Continents. The scene opens In London,
and although the story progresses In this num-
ber hardly enough to warrant decided COM
ment, he peculiar excellences Of Mr.. McCar-
thy,s style are evident and 1t may be consider
ed to promise well. The other serial, "Over-
land. y is continued to It's tenth chapter. This
number Of the Galaxy has, however, much to
commend 1t besides its serials. E. A. Pollard
attempts to overthrow our confidence in Pat
rick Henry, and Richard Grant White prods
his lance into Ar. McCarthy's retreating form
in behalf of American women. There is
pleasant story from the French Of Edmond
About, paper on "Nilk,n by Dr.. Draper,
another on Temperance" by DR.. Coan, and
several good poems. Mark Twain's "Aemoran-
dan are continued, and likewise honored with
special mention on the title page.

Japan has stretched its first telegraph
wire, which was worked soon after New
Years. 1t connects Yeddo with Yokoha-
ma, both important cities, between which
lightning lingo is to fly on wings outstrip-
ping the wind. The japanese are WON
derfully quick in adapting modern inven-
tions and discoveries to their social con
dition. Their emissaries took notes and
made sketches of everything that interes-
ted them when in America and Europe,
and proceeded to turn them to some kind
of account as soon as they returned home:
That single wile which is stretched from
Yeddo to Yokohama will do more to rev.
olutionize their ideas and plans of enter
prise than dozen treaties, were they
never so liberal For here is the means
of stirring up the common thought to in
tensest activity. \ country strung with
these chords of intelligence is bound to
wake up with its question, and responses.
Japan began the New Year under good
auspices, by setting up the system of tele-
graphy on its insular soil.

Dyspepsia in the Pacific states.

Nowhere in the United States has dyspepsia
heretofore been more general, or marked with
more distressing symptoms, than in California.
Luxury, high living and dissipation in the cities ;
hardship privatlon, irregular habits, and the eff
fects of malaria in the mining regions have COM
bined to render Chronic Indigestion one of the
most terrible scourges of the Pacific States. 1t
is source of satisfaction, therefore, to be able
to report the gradual and steady decline Of the dis
ease and its distressing concomitants this side
of the continent As this happy change began
to be perceptible soon after HosTETTER's SToM-
AcH BlTTERs had attained the rank of a standard
remedy in this region, and as it has become
more and more apparent, in proportion to the in
creasng sales of the great vegetable specific,
reason suggests that the bane has been anchor
ated and checked by the operations of the genial
elixir advertised as its antidote. Unprejudiced
physicians admit this to be the fact, and aban-
doning all the ordinary stimulants, as well as
the astringent tinctures and mineral excitants of
the pharmacopGa, are now prescribing the BIr-
TERs as a cure for eoery form Of indigestion. The
preparation possesses three great advantages
over every other so-caled stomachic. 1t is not
merely a tonic, but combines the properties of
anli-bRlious medicine, gentle Iarative, and a
6tood-dePurent, with those of a Whoiesome StiBau-
lant. 1t neither depletes or exctes; but
strengthens, soothes, purifes and restores No
medicine ever introduced into the Pacific region
has so entirely gained the confidence of every
class of society, or approached in the extent of
Its sales HosTETTER's STOMACH BiTTERs.
