DOLLY VARDENs." s."-Demorest' illustrate
ed Monthly for April contains its usual varie-
ty OF fashion news, plates, and patterns, and
an agreeable literary miscellany. "Jennie
June" contributes another of her papers on
the physical life of women, and offers some
useful suggestions. In the Fashion Gossip.
we find these paragraphs concerning the
'Dolly Vardens:'
Very French-y young ladies insist on pro-
no1ncing Dolly Warden, Dolly Var-donq,
which is enough to make old Warden, Dolly's
paternal parent, rise from his grave, for he
was English to the backbone, and hated new
tangled French ways as much as he hated
popery. So, young ladies, make it plain
English Dolly Warden, if you please.
Some Of the very prettiest Dolly Vardens
are made with the light buff-tinted ground,
sprinkled with bouquets of flowers, in rich,
warm colors, or with large leaves or ferns,
shaded in a single color. They are looped up
with bows of velvet or gros grain, the color
OF the design, or with loops forming a cas-
cade of bows. .r.
Blondes prefer the cretonne chintzes, strip
ed, with blue, and spriukled with rosebuds.
for Dolly Vardens for morning wear; and
married ladies, foulards with black grounds.
ornamented with bows of black velvet.
A charming Dolly Warden worn recently
over white tarlatan skirt, trimmed with
narrow founces, was of tarlatan embroidered
with straw dots, and field flowers in colored
silk. Straw-colored fringe and cascade loops
of black velvet formed the trimming.

WE have pamphlet containing paper
read before the American Institute by John
A. Parker of New York, formerly of Port

shows evidence of careful study and research.

Which leads to train of curious refec-

OF transmitible hereditary traits. The de-
scendants of Mrs. Butler should take warn
ing and never run to fire; and as for be-
longing to an engine company we put it
down as simply suicidal. Couldn't the Jour
nal give us some account of the grand
mother or even of some of the collateral
kindred as foundation for treatise ON this
novel infammatory disease?

OF pleasant smile and kind word upon her
husband when he returned from his work
She had read how home can be made pleas

husband with joyful SMILE The success
she had is best given in the shape of a dia-
logue:-
Enter husband, almost exhausted, and
very hungry withal; throws his hat on the
floor and drops heavily into seat. Wife,
preparing tea, looks up with smile, and is
so glad to see him.
Wife-'Well, my dear, it is so nice to have
you mere at meal time" A long smile.l

Diseased Digestion.

If chronic indigestion affected the stomach only, it
might be more easily borne but it gives rise inevita
bly, to many other diseases affecting the liver, the
nerves. the bowels and the brain Biiousness
tremors constipation. headache and terrible mental
disturbances. among its usual accompaniment.
In fact every organ. every bre of the frame sympa-
thizes with the debitated and diseased stomach.
What is needed ia such case Clearly. an Alternative
and invgorant; and among medicines of that class,
Hostetters Stomach Btters u.s. beyond all comparison
or estimate tho best. Mere purgatives only deprive
the system of the little strength that disease has left
it. Saliyants have the effect. The whole int T.
nal organism has gone wrong, and only be put
right and kept right by medicine in which the tonic
fed and modified by anti bilious aperents and blood
purifying conponents. Now, the truth is (and the
medical faculty welkas the public know the fact
that Hostetter Btters contains ingredient
quisite for the of dyspepsia and all the ailments
of body and mind which il involves. This has been
proved in so many thousands of instances. that it
seems almost idle to repeat the statement.
The great tonic rallies exhausted nature, from

Its effects upon the brain is to give strength to the

WINNING GOLDEN. OPINIoNs.-Perhaps
no man living has won more golden
opinions than DR.. Walker, as the enor-
nous and widely increasing sale of his
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs attests.
We never look into one of our ex-
changes, but there is panegyric of the
Btters staring us in the face. Our read
ers will say that there must be reason
for all this praise They are right. The
efficacy of this celebrated medicine is
established by evidence which it is i'm
possible to doubt. Among the thous-
ands who have borne testimony to its
excellence, there is not one dissentient
voice. In very many phases of inor-
ganic disease it seems to be unfalllng.
All diseases arising from vitiated state
of the blood are surely eradicated by it.
1t is an effectual remedy for pulmonary
complaints, bilious, remittent and inter
mittent fevers, rheumatism and dyspep-
sia. It purges the body of all unhealthy
'humors, gives tone to the system, and
where the vital powers are enfeeb1ed,
restores their functions to vigorous and
healthy action. All this it. does the
more effectually because it's operation is
not interfered with by the presence of
alcohol. The VINEGAR Buffers is per-
fectly free from any such hurtful ingre-
dent. We have always believed that
plants contain the true remedies for
disease, and all the remedies necessary.
DR.. Walker is on the line of real pro-
gress, and we hope that he will not rest
on his present discoveries.-[C Com.
