let might be able, in plausible way to show
why DR.. Walkers VINEGAR BIrTERs,
ought not to cure Indigestion, Headaca ne,
Nervousness, Liver Complaint, Muscular
Diseases and Miasma tic Fevers; but as they
do in every instance effect that object, his

Magendie said, the world demands facts,
not speculative opinions.

That New CAR.-The new palace car,
the "City Of Peoria" must indeed be a
magnificent affair. The exterior is said to
be resplendens With gilt and brilliantly
colored scrolling, while the panels on
either end are decorated with the finest
ornamental work. On either side Of the
panels are painted pastoral scenes. The
doors are half glass, the wood work being
Z handsomely inlsid and polished, and the
glass EN- bossed with handsome designs. At
the center of each side an elaborate scroll
surrounds an eagle, the ''emblem" holding
in his beAk q scroll on which is painted the
name Of the car. The car contains FIVE
compartments and twenty berths. Dressing
rooms are at either end, fitted with marble
wash-stands and basins, and silver-plstec
faucets. The seats are cushioned with Grim
son plush. On every panel of the car is 1
mirror, elegantly framed with carved wood
work ornamensed with scrolling. The cal
is heated by steam, the pipe passing b,
every seat, and the most improved andlates
system of ventilation supplies the travele
with an abundance of fresh air without Civ
ing him cold by means of some draft tina
plays over him every time be wants q brest
of pure air. Everything about the car i
finished in the most attractive and perfec
manner. The roof is handsomely orna
meuted with fresco cherubim and the usus
scroll work. The floor is carpeted, an
everything is new and nice. This beautifu
car was finished on the 10Th of Novembe,
and is one of the handsomest Of the man
handsome ones on the Chicago & Roe
Island Line.

A BAD JoB.-Ws learn that a series of
serious mistakes has been made by the engi-
neers in the construction of the bridge
across the Mississippi, at St. Louis, in conse-
quence of which the work Oh the structure
is suspended, and much OF it will have to be
taken down. European engineers have been
sent for to come and take charge of the
work and s.raighten up matters, and until
their arrival, the great bridge will remain
IN statu quo. These are the reports we gel
in regard to this enterprise.
