Though combinations strong as

as the sands on the sea shore, were pro-
duced to prove that Dr. Pierce, the pro-
prietorl Of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kennedy,
is in earnest and, means what he says,
when he offers $500 reward for any case OF
Catarrh which he cannot cure, yet there
would be some skeptics and fogies who
would continue to shout, :" Hum6pg! n

Or. Homespun says Catarrh cannot be

science has positively demonstrated and
proven that Dr. Homespun is wrong In
supposing this earth to be fiat and sta
tionary, and medical science is daily
proving the fact that he is no. less mis-
taken and behind the times IN regard
to the durability of Catarrh. In short,
1t has been positively proven that this
world moves and that medical science IS
pr0gressive-the opinion of DIR. Home

The Prince Of Wales-Great Rejoicing
Over his Recovery. ArF

The celebration at London on the 9th
ult. in honor of the recovery of the
Prince of Wales was of the grandest
character. The streets were thronged
and the houses and public places were
gorgeously decorated. Spectators were
numbered by millions. The Royal pro-
cession commenced to move from Buck
ingham Palace at halfpast IL a. m. AS
the Queen left the courtyard of the pal.
ace a chorus of 10000 children sang the
national anthem, "God save the Queen"
The services at St. PauIs consisted Of
singing, by grand chorus, of Ie Deuns,
written for the occasion, from Psalm
lis; the reading of prayers, and SER
mon by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
At the conclusion of the religious SER
vices, the procession formed again and
moved westward. The whole route to
and from the Cathedral was seven miles
in length, and the procession was four
hours in motion. The best estimates
place the number of spectators who wit
messed it's passage at 100000. There
were IL 900 troops, besides the London
police, engaged in keeping the streets
clear, that there might be no Interrupt
tons or accidents. Along the entire
route strong fences were erected, and
behind these were double files of in
fantry and police to keep the eager
crowd from overthrowing the barriers,
and obstructing the passage of the, pro
cession.. Every shop and house along
the route brought a fabulous rental. Or
binary four-story buildings were let for
G1O0 for the day. One vacant space
brought $500. -.-.--.
The decorations are said to have sur
passed anything ever before known. AT
the crossing of Harrington street was a
splendid triumphal arch erection, which
cost $4,000 Another, hardly less
splendid, spanned the Oxford road.
Flags, festoons, tapestry, wreaths Of
every conceivable character were dis
played from housetops and windows,
and across streets, and a perfect wilder
ness of scarlet, gold and blue cloth, gold
fringe, and other gorgeous decorations
waved from balconies and porticos. The
Americans in the city were active in
contributing to the, success. of the day.
Next to the British, the American flags
were most numerous. Both were often
Entertained with notices, such as
Z" Friendly Union, the best settlement
of the Alabama question:" etc. The
offices of London representatives of
American newspapers and the West End
office of the Associated Press, were
finely decorated.
Batteries of artillery Numbered sa-
lutes from several points along the line
as the procession moved and the bells
of all the churches in the metropolis
added their peals to the joyful din.
In spiteof the great excitement which
existed among the enormous. masses of
spectators, there was little or no disor-
der. Several serious accidents happen
ed, owing to the pressure of great
masses Of spectators, on the line of the
procession One man was crushed to
death in Trafalgar Square, and numbers
of people were more or less injured.
Two stands, each containing e150 per-
sons, fell, and many were badly bruised.
