The public sustained tremendous
and irreparatle loss in the destruction by
the Great Fire of criminal records, COM
piled during the last twenty years by
Allen Pinkerton, the famous detective
OF these records there were upwards of
four hundred gigantic volumes, the cler-
ical work on which alone, it is said, cost
$4,000. Among these documents were
the complete records of the secret service
Of the Army Of the Potomac, the only
set in existence. They were composed
in SO volumes, and were valued by Mr.
Pinkerton at S5O,OOO. In a small room
adjoining Mr.. Pinkerton's private office
were number of plain wooden cases in
which were stored the files Of tn. daily
papers since 1854. There was not a copy
of daily or a weekly paper issued since
1854 of which Mr.. Pinkerton had not
duplicate. Many were bound together,
aud los volumes covered them all. All
these were destroyed.

Mayor Mason, of Chicago, decrsed a
day Of humiliation and fasting " for
past offences against Almighty God" in
regard to which the Tribune says:
"The past offenses, in our judgment,
consisted OF pine shingles and other
combustible material in the quarter
where the fire first got it's foothold, not
to mention the wooden roof over the
pumping works. But If Aay moral
transgression is chargeabis with the
burning down Of the city, we submit
that it is the city ordinance altering the
fire limits four or Ave years ago, so a. to
enable certain owners and purchasers OF
old wooden buildings in the central por-
ito of the city to move them down to-
ward Polk street bridge for the accom-
mediation Of harlots."

to her servants an account of the
Chicago fire. The incident of the burn
ing of the emancipation proclamation,
which cost that city $25 900 for its
Historical Society. arrested the atten-

slave all her life, who viewed the
proclamation much as the Israelte. did

The young King Of Bavaria bias an
immense garden on the roof Of his
palace, at Munich, which is said to
rival the celebrated hanging gardens of
Semiramis. In the center Of it there is
q lake with fishes and swans swimming
in it, and this surrounded by woods in
which there are various animals and
birds, and also rock work and grottos.
The rocks had to be followed out before
transporting them to the roof, the bet.
ter to enable tho building to bear their
weight. There is in the center Of the
garden a sort Of tent or pavilion Of
great magniflcence which no one but
the king ever enters. The apartments
under the palace roof were formerly oc-
cupied by the ladies of honor, hut they
have been converted into stables, be-
cause too much time was required to
hoist horses to the roof whenever the
King wishes to ride or drive through
this fairy-like resort.

Debility and Emaciatton


Both result from the lack of ability to con
vert the food into nutriment. How neces-
sary, then, for those suffering from these
alarming symptoms to Immediately resort
to a remedy that will strengthen the stom-
ach and digestive organs. For, as soon as
this desirable object has been accomplished
the health improves, and the patient re-
sumes his usual personal appearance. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters have attained q
world wide popularity in such cases, and
have been proven the best and safest means
of removing constipation, toning the stom
ach, giving energy to the liver, and reliev-
ing every symptom of nervousness and de-
preston of spirits. Its cheering and bene-
fetal effects are highly spoken of by thou
sands, who owe to it their restoration to
health. No restorative in the annals Of
medicine has attained the same popularity
in the short space of time it has been before
the public or has won the high endorse
ments according to this excellent tonic.
Many other preparations, purporting to be
cOrrectives and restORatives, have been in
troduced, and have persisted one by one,
while the popularity Of Hostetters Stomach
Bitters continues to increase, and is now
recognized as standard household medi-
Gin e. The success which attends the use
Of the Bittcrs evinces at once its virtues in
all cases ofdebility and disease of the sto m
ach. Certificates, almoat without number,
have been published attesting its truly
miraculous power in removing those painful
and fearful diseases. And at this time it
seems idle to do more than call attention
to the great remedy of the age in order to
awaken public attention to its excellence.
1t is the only preparation of the kind that is
reliable in all cases, and it is therefore wor-
thy of the consideration of the afflicted
