York, on Saturday evening. Three ladies
entered the store for the purpose of exam
lining some ready-made suits. In the de-
partment devoted to this class of goods
several dummies" are used, upon which
different styles goods are displayed. One
of the ladies walked up to one ofthe "dum-
mics" and commenced to feel Of the dress
which covered it. Surprising it was placed
there as a sample, she handled it pretty
thoroughly, and then called the attention OF
her companions to it. One of the others
also felt of the stuff, and then remarked :
"Whv, that's homely stripe" The third
lady followed by saying: alt won't pay fol-
making up" Whcreupon the dummy
turned her head aud smiled, to the utter
establishment and modification Of the la
dies in question, who discovered that
instead ola dummy" sanp'e, they had been
criticising the dress of real live woman.
Explanations and apologies followed in pro-

the Secretary of State, requesting his i'm

peared in the Senate and said he had a war
rant from Gov. Lewis to take possession of

They have strange chambermaids At
Shepherds Hotel in Cairo (says LADY,
traveller.) The one who waited on our
room, and attended to sll the various du-
ties OF the calling, even to the making of
beds, was Frenchman, dressed as If for
dinner party. white vest and dress coat,
and having the air of refined gentleman.
1t was really embarrassing to accept his
services in such capacity. One Of the
ladies, on arriving at the hotel, rang for the
chambegmaid. This gentleman presented
himself. Surprising. him to be the proprie-
tor or bis. chef clerk, she expressed her
wish to see the chambermaid. He very

No WONDER the artists love st. Peters
burg. If they shudder at the cold and
grumble at the climate generally; if it is far
from the brightness of their beloved Paris,
from cultivated Berlin, or art-loving Wen
ma, vet it has many cancellations. Among
these bsrbarous people music has its tradi-
tionai charms to soothe the savage. Enpe-
rors, under its sof,ening influence, give dia-
mouds. Grand Dukes lead the claquers,
and Prime Ministers send courteous eX-
cuses that age and increasing infrmities
prevent their testifying their pleasure
in person, but viii the prima donna be con-
descending enough to come in her carriage
and receive thanks? 1t lessons our wonder
a little when we hear that Christine Nils
SOD, who is now singing in St. Petersburg,
was the recipient Of such hoDors. She
sang in Hamlet, and the Grand Duke Con
staDtine led the applause; the Prime Minis
ter sent for her, and congratulated her, and
the people went wild, and frightened the
prima donns's horses.

to be inviollble, for an attack upon it would

SPECIAL NOTICES.
A Dead DeluSiOn.

The theory that human beings whose
strength has been exhausted by pain and
sickness can be restored by depicting medi-
cines and water Cruel, If not absolutely
dead delusion, Is in the last agonies Of dis
solution. At length 1t is understood that
strength cannot be purged into debilitated
frame, though life may easily be purged
out of 1t, and that It is about as wise to
withhold healthful stimulant from the
weak, in the expectation that they VIII
rally without one, as it would be to de-
prive a lamp of oil and expect 1t TO burn
the brighter tor it,
The immense and uhifor N success which
has attended the use OF that wonderful
combination OF pure stimulant with the
finest medicinal herbs, known as Hostel.
ter's Stomach Bitters, has largely assisted
in dispelling the absurd chimera. Frantic
attempts are made to revive 1t, but In vain.
When the sick feel that their strength Is
departing, and that unless inyisorated
they must utterly break down, 1t is In vain
to tender them feculent slops in the place
OF genuine restoratives. They may be i'm.
posed upon this way once, but the IMPOSE
ton cannot be repeated. They desire TO be
refreshed, com torted, braced up, and decline
to be griped a second time.
Under the operation OF the Bitters, on the
other hand, all the processes necessary to
physical restoration go on simultaneously.
The system is stimulated and toned, the
bowels regulated, the appetite cultivated,
the nerves composed and the condition OF
the blood improved at one and the same
time by single medicine. Common sense
tells us that such preparation must he in
