very appropriate trademark, "Hope," which
has been adopted by the proprietors Of the
celebrated Mishler's Herb Biuers. All
should remember that the genuine article
is not put up in bulk, but only in squar,
glass bottles, all Of which bear this trade
mark. These bitters stand unrivslled in
the market, and are highly endorsed BY
medical practitioners. Among the numsT
Gus handsome testimonials they have re-
ceived none perhaps are truer, than the
following from the Davenport (Iowal Dem
ocrat-A journal that is considered high
autho hori,y upon such matters. We oopy the
entire article as follows
Sacred writ; ages Of experience; the re-
sulI of years of trial; the verdict Of ex-
tended investigation; the evidence of the
wisest physicians, and the united wisd ON
Of ancient and modern times, in civilized
aud barbarian climes, all 20 to prove that
God has sent the herbs of the field for med
i.ue unto man. Mideral substances can
not be taken into the fluids and sssimilAted
with the juices to carry of morbihc hui
mors, any more than q sucoulent vegetable
can derive its sap from the polished surface
Of marble slab. When this fact is un-
dsrstood, and also the physiological fact,
that all diseases, whatever their character,
are at first merely an accretion OF poison in
the fluids, it will be al once seen that to be
efioscious, q remedy must search the very
fountains from whence the fluids come, and
lean oot the specific virus, which is, de.
mon-liks, coneocting disease to vitiAte and
destroy the whole system.
This is the great secret, and the man who
having this view, prepares a me 1icine which
will purify the blood aud seoretions, correct
the organs, aud having found the occult
germs Of disease, will accomplish more than
the whole college OF physicians with the
phArnAcopis at their back. The question
for consideration is, has this been done, and

ANOTHER "HOLY ALLIANCE. >,

The nature of the Imperial Russian
warning to NJ. Thiers, TO the effect that
Radical Republcanism is making too much
headway in France, is more serious than
was reported by cable. M. Gambetta's
speech at Grenohle, delivered in the centre
of one of the most fiery regions Of French
Republican feeling, was Immediate
ly followed, not by a call from
the Russian Minister at Paris
upon M. Thiers, but by more significant
demonstration still. Mr.. Tinascheff, Rus
sian Minister of the Interior, being then at
a watering place on the French frontier,
proceeded at once to Paris, and in two sue
cessive interviews with President Theirs,
distinctly gave him to understand that the
recent outbreaks Of radical, not to say re-
volutionary feeling in the south of France,
made it necessary for the Gar to modify
the terms 10 which he had previously COM
plimented NJ. Theirs upon the re-establish-
ment in France of a stable and orderly
form OfgOvernment.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, who gives at length the substance of
the interviews, goes on to say that the Rus
sian Minstertof the Interior did more than
this. He coOlly notified NJ. Thiers that if
the French Republic should once more
become the center of revolutionary
movements in Europe, Powers which had
he. tofore been on friendly terms with
France would not hesitate to stife the
French Republic; that no matter what the
wish of the French nation may be, or in
how many departments NJ. Gambetta may
be elected, the three Imperial Powers are
not going to permit the Republic of NJ.
Gambetta TO come into existence to trouble
the peace Of Europe, and to endanger the
stability oftheir own thrones.

A GOOD HIT

When Jenny Lind was in this country,
she once attended the Bethel Church in
Boston, where the well remembered Father
Taylor was pastor. The good man, who
did not know that she was present, was re-
uuested, as he entered the house, to preach
on amusements. The church was crowded
and the pulpit stairs were filed. The ser
mon opposed dancing, card playing and
theatre-going, but approved music. The
preacher paid q glowing tribute to the pow
er of song, and to the goodness, modesty
and the charity Of the sweetest Of all sing
ers, "now lighted on these shores" Jenny
Lind was leaning forward, and clqpping her
hands with delight, when a tail person rose
on the pulpit stairs and inquired whether
any one who died at one of Miss Lind's
concerts would go to heaven? Disgust and
contempt swept across Father Taylor's face
as he glared st the interloper: "a Chris
tian will 20 TO heaven wherever he dies;
and a fool will be a fool wherever he is
even if he is on the steps of the pulpit"

THERE exists in India, among the ma
tives, strong ''reform party for the pro
motion of widow marriage. Formerly the
widow went to the pile with her husband.
When that was abolished by the stern hand
of British law, the plan Of starving" in
stead Of burning, was adopted. The
widow young or old, is compelled to wear
a certain dress, to live in retirement, to eat
sparingly, and, in short, amake herself as
miserable as she can. Against this the
"reform party" is waging war; and the
success which it is slowly obtaining is an
indication of the progress toward Christian
civilization which India is making. a mar
RAGE of the kind recently occurred; the
widow being young woman, who, after
overcoming many obstacles, and being
cruelty treated by her relatives, was mar
ried by two Brahmin priests, in the presence
of a large number of the reform party.
The affair created much excitement, and
The priests who performed the ceremony are
threatened with accommodation.

fifty thousand dollars were not unusual.
The Mayor said he proposed to show that
the present board of audit adopted the same
routine as in vogue in 1870. The duties
of the board in May, June and July, 1870,
were enough to crush the brain of an Or
binary man and every bill could not be ex-
