BRIDES and Bridegro0ms Hundred
Years Ago. Ifr

Brides and bridegrooms of 1871 may
be amused by description OF the toilet
of couple on their wedding day one
hundred years ago. They begin with
the lady. Her locks were strained up
ward over an immense cushion, tnat sat
like an incubus on her head, ana plas-
tered over with pomatum, and then
sprinkled over with a shower OF white
powder. The hight of this tower was
somewhat over a foot. One single white
rosebud lay on its top, like an eagle on
\ baystack. Over her neck and bosom
was folded a lace handkerchief, fastened
in front with bosom pin rather larger
than a copper cent, containing her grand
fsthers miniature set in virgin gold.
Her airy form was braced up in o satin
dress, the sleeves as tight as the natural
skin on the arm, with waist formed by
a bodice, worn outside, whence the skirt
flowed off, and was distended at the top
by hoop.
Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes
and heels of two or three inches eleva-
ton. inclosed her feet, and glittered with
spangles as her little pedal members
peeped curiously out. Now for the swain.
His hair was sleeked back and plenti.
fully beAoured, while his queue projected
like handle to a skillet His coat was
sky-blue, silk lined with yellow, his long
vest of satin embroidery with gold lace,
his breaches of the same material, and
tied at the knees with pink ribbons
White silk stockings and pumps, with
laces and ties of the same hue, com
pleted the habiliments of his neither
limbs. Lace ruffles clustered around
the wrist, and portentous frill worked
in correspondence, and bearing, the
miniature of his beloved, finished his
trnlY genteel appearance.

The New York Standard calls atten-
ton to the wonderful manner in which
Senator Benton prediction of the growth
Of the West and its development have
already been fulfilled, in the following
paragraph:
One Of the farseeing men Of the last
generation was Col. Thomas II. Benton,
Of Missouri. More than twenty-five years
ago he said "The man is now living and
full grown, listening to my words without
believing them, who will see the day
when the commerce of the Indies will
cross the North Pacific, will enter the
waters of the Columbia and climb the
slope of the Rocky Mountains, and pour
down over our widely extended Union;
The Missouri Senator II now alive would
see his prophecy, which, when uttered
was considered a rhetorical flourish,
more than fulfilled. He would at St
Louis hear tie shrek of a locomotive
conveying passengers and freights from
the Golden Gate Of the Pacific TO the
barbors of the Atlantic. He would have
seen over the plains of Texas and
through the great wheat garden of the
Northwest, bands of railway construc-
tors LAYING down the track of trans
continental traffic at the rate of mile
ner day. so that within five years we will
have three currents for the enriching
stream which he saw would flow from the
commerce Of the western shores of
Europe. American enterprise moves
faster than even his sanguine eXpecta-
ton promised.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Preventiye Medication.-Arad radical change
has been introduced in the practice of medi-
cine. Physicians have ceased to torture and
PROSTATE their patients. Instead OF pulling
down, they build up; instead of assaultins
nature, they assist her. Cupping, leeehing'
blistering, venesection, calomel, anthony,
Supplying narcotics, and rasping purgatiyes,
once the fayorite resources of the faculty. are
now rarely resorted to even by the most dog
matte members of the profession. The old
creed was that disease was something which
must be expelled by violent artificial means,
irrespective of the wear and tear of the vital
organization in the process. The new creed
recognizes the improvement Of the general
health as essential to the cure of all local all
ments. Hence it is that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the most potent vegetable tonic that
pharmacy has ever brought to the assistance
of nature in her struggles with disease, has
been cordially approved by practitioners Of
the modern school. 1t is pleasant to reflect
that reason and philosophy have at last been
victorious over the errors Of the past. and that
thousands. and tens Of thousands. of human
beings are alive and well to-day who would
indubitabty be Wondering in their graves.
had they been subjected to the pains and PEN
alties which were deemed orthodox and indis-
pensable thirty or forty years ago.
Preventive medication was scarcely thought
of then; but now it is considered of para
mount importance, and the celebrity of the
standard invigorant, Alternative and restora-
tive of the age Ia title which Hostetter's Bit
tiers have fairly earned by their long career of
success). is mainly due to its efficiency as
protective preparation.
A course of the Bitters is urgently recon-
mended as safe and certain antidote to in
