Consul ButIer-HOW he Cudgeieu
missionary.


Cairo (Egypt Cor. N. Y. Ilerald.l
am sorry to say that the American
Consul General, Butler, is not winning
golden opinions from any section OF the
community here. The general opinion
among all classes is that he is a disgrace
to the great country and people whom
he represents. You have already seen,
doubtless, the article which recently APP
peared regarding him in the Levant
Herald. | happened to know that every
word of that article was true. more
brutal attack than that which he made
upon the Rev. Mr.. Strand, the American
missionary, is not conceivable. just
think of il! You send missionary to
convert the poor Arab, and you Send a
Consul General who murderousiy at
tacks the missionary at railway sta-
ton. But for the interference oil TWO
Englishmen it is thought that Bntler ana
rascally Syrian interpreter, who were
freely using their sticks, would nave
made an end of the missionary. 1t is
unpleasant so to have to write oil any
man. But the name of the TREAT ne
nnblie Is not to be dshonored by man
who began his public life here drinking
and rioting like common rowdy, ana
who has made himself so obnoxious
that he is Stunned by all his colleagues
and shut out of all good society. 1t is
the Americans resident here who ieei
most ashamed. Butler onght to be re-
called at once.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Biliousness and Indigestion.-The two
complaints are mtTe general at this season Of
the year than at almost any other. They are
closely akin; for biliousness always involves
an impaired digestion. and indigestion Is
necessarily an accompaniment Of disordered
OF torpid liver. Happy the man or woman
who can boast Of n stomach that has never
felt the horrors of dyspepsia, and to whom
that great secretive agent, the liver, has never
given pain or trouble. Not one in a thousand
can lay claim 70 entire immunity from irregu-
larity in these organs. How, then, shall they
be regulated2 Not by powerful eatharties,
alternated with ordinary stimulantf. but by a
medicinal invigorant, like Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which combine in due proportion
the tonic and the Alternative principle.
Wherever there is a church, a schoOl-house.
and q general store. this famous medicine
may be procured. No village merchant finds
il prudent to be without it, for it is inquired
for every day by every class. The working
man buys it because it increases his capacity
for toll, and is followed by no reaction. The
effect Of the snlubriOns roots, herbs, etc., OF
which it is composed. difused through his
system by the pure stimulant which formsth
basis of the Bitters. is most healthful and in
vigorating. The scholar. the merchant. and
in fact, all men whose minds or bodies. oil
both. are in constant exercise, will derive
benefit from its use, To persons Of sedentarl
habits It supplies. in some measure, that ac
| tiyity in the circulation which is obtained By
physical exertiOn. and is the best known
Temedy for constipation. Ask for HOstetter'
Stomach Bitters. and do not be cOaxed init
| purchasing any Of the limitations and fraud
! sometimes offered in its stead.
