American Oysters in England

The London correspondent of the Boston
EVERYBODY who has been in England k nows
what a horrid little unsavory, unpalatable cop
ner.coIored. copper-havored, and generally
contemptibie bivalve the English oyster IS
Everybody who hasn't been in England ought
to know, so that in his calculation OF INDUCE
ments to 90 abroad he may give due weight to
the priyation he must suffer from the relin-
uuishment of one of the many Injuries in
which America abounds in extent and quality
not to be equaled in any part OF the civilized
world and in spite of the character OF the Eng
lsh oyster-and in which any impartial palate
will bear me.witness. English people do not
except it from the modest category OF SUPER
critics they so Enthusiastically boast This
may charitably be explained in many cases by
want of experience, as every Engllshman has
not been so fortunate as to visit America or
have friend who sufficiently regarded him as
to send him an oyster treat across the sea-
Fancy my disgust, after investing a $50
,reenback in selected 'saddle-rocks, and
treighting them three thousand miles on ice,
as special compliment land treat to what |
thought would prove an appreciative recipient
fancy my pity and contempt at being told
that s'copper.hayor was better than 10
flavor at all. Miserable things as they are
in England they're expensive, very ezpen-
sive-scventy to eighty cents dozcn-so that
it's rather the swell thing to have them, which
is indeed the only explanation of their use
The nearest approach to genuine oyster, as
we understand the article, found in the Eng
lish markets, comes from Ostend, and is just
enough like an oyster to be aggravatingly sug-
gestive.
This condition Of things has led to rather
novel enterprise, which may be attributed to
either the sub-rosa honest preference OF the
Engishman for IAN hoyster as is an hoyster:
or to the American demand abroad but let
the cause be what it may, England Is going to
have oysters, and America will supply them ;
not broled shriveled-up bits OF old leather
slightly favored with oyster, but the genuine
thing, and on the following plan :: 1t has
been found by experience that American oys-
tiers brought over the seas in barrels and put
to bed again for couple Of weeks in the Eng,
lish waters are entirely revived IN freshness
and solidity, and, it is claimed, improved" in
flavor and appearance. Upon the success OF
this experiment an Import Fish and Oyster
Company" limited, has been organized /;
capital, 100000, (cquivalent.) 1t is expect
ed to turn over the capital employed once In
every two months at an estimated profit Of
forty per cent. per turn over-two hundred and
forty per cent. per annum Looks a little tiShy
hut no doubt there is money IN the idea.

Ell Vino Catalina,--The announcement

Eel Vino Catalina,-The announcement
that has been SO generally heralded Throughout
the country that an American company has again
commenced importing this celebrated VINE
will be hailed with JOY by all those seeking q
pure and inyigorating tonic; also those VINO
need pure, pleasant and refreshing stmulant
will find in the Ell Vino Catalina, or Brown, $
Catalina Wine Tonic what they want. 1t Will
be remembered that importations were made IN
1866 of this noted brand, but in consequence OF
the high duty then demanded by this govern
ment, the enterprise ceased, to the regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. IT Is the
oldest tonic in the world, and doubtless the most
invigorating, the purest ard best and if imporr,,
tatiOn continues at the rates now started, II VIII
take its place in every family in this rs well rs
in the old countries. Its merits will make 1t 4
household article, and we hope that every one
who has ever used any Bitters or common patent
tonic will at least try one bottle Of the Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from tho pure
juice of the Catalina grape with Callsaya ana
the spices of Ceylon, or bttcrs made OF COM
mon whiskey and bitter field herbs. Thu; is an
Invaluable preparation for weakness and debiIl-
ty; it relieves morning languor and gives 1resn,
ness and appetite, not followed byan unpleasant
reaction.
It cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Costiyeness'
Bilious Derangements, Cramp Collie, Flatu-
Morning Sickness, Chills and Feyers, Headache,
Nervous Irrtability, Armenia, Heart Disease,
Diseases of the Kidneys aad Bladder Diseases
of the Skin, and all Erlptons, either caused by
Tonic Tom; in Consumption, it has no superior, of
Which thousands believe themselves to have
been cured by its use We do not claim that it
will cure Consumption, but we are sure that 1t
will prevent it if taken freely in time

Gentle stimulant and Alternative, which has be-
Come famous throughout the country as rela-
bic medicine, under the name OF. Hostetter
Stomach Bittcrs, she is not unfrequcntly dosed
with dozen prescriptions all experimental,
from the Pharmacopocia- This IS an evil, ana
proves that the practice of medicine is far from
being at all times healing art. At this period
of the year, when the fall Of the leaf indicates
that decay has seized upon the vegetable KING
dom, many harassing diseases arc prevalent
Chief among these may be mentioned lntermlt-
tent fever and bilious remittent The cNhaa,
tions rising from decomposng vegetation, ana
the heavy dews and fogs, are very apt to gcner-
ate these complaints. The wisest policy is to
protect the system bya course Of Hostetter' $
Stomach Bittcrs at the commencement OF inc
fall. Much suffering may thereby he avoided
But l. the disease has already begun, its peIlodl-
cal visitations may readily be checked and
broken up by this active, yet harmless, vege-
table tonic "
But be on your guard against the, charlatans
who arc attempting to palm off, under various
names, unwholesomc compounds, which they
pretend to compare favornbly with the great
national elixir, which has long since swept more
formidable opposition from the field: Bear IN
mind that every bottle of genuine Hostetter' 5
Stomach Bitters is authenticated by splendidly
engraved label, and fac simtleof the sign manual
of the firm. Put up in bottles only, and cannot

This Stove is decided success. Several hun
