the ducks who view the scene from a dis.

ART 1874.

The Illustrations of The Aldiae have won n
world wide reputation. and in the art centres of
Europe il is an admit ted fact that its wood cuts
are examples of the highest perfection ever al
taiped. TIL common prejudice in favor of .'strel
platSs," is rapidly yielding TO n more educated
and discriminating taste which recognizes the ad .
vanNges of superior artistic quality with greater
hcility of production. THE woOd-cuts of The
Atdfne possess all the delicacy and elaborate fin.
ish Of the most costly steel plate, while they af-
ford a better rendering Of the artists original.
To fully realize the wonderful work which The
Atdfne Is doing for the cause of art culture in
America, it is only necessary to consider the cost
TO the people of any other decent representa-
tions of the productions of great painters
In addition to designs by the members of the
National Academy, and jorher noted American
artists, The Aldine will reproduce Example of the
best foreign masters, selecead with n view TO the
highest artistic success and greatest general in

the place of the endless variety of drugs
which are annually sold for that purpose,
and which are often very injurious. A
medicine which possesses the qualities of
a cathartic as well as y mild Alternative,
and which Is capable of arrcSting disease
without the least injury to the child, Is OF
i~ncalculable value to every mother. As
q cathartic, II is very effective, yet it does
not, If given in proper quantities, cause
l.ausea or distress In the stomach or bow
els. 1t is it very pleasant to the taste,
which is a very important feature as a
medicine for children. As n preventive
of disease it is unprecedented, as it acts
directly upon the digestive organs and
the blood. In all scroful0us diseases. il
Is the most effective medicine ever offered
to the public; and, if given regularly and
persevcringly, those eruptivo diseases
so common to children may be entirely
eradicatcd.

faithfully than in the past, these
cardinal ideas of its existence and its mis-.

Of the world, and at the same time en-
larging its facilities for publication and

Its Correspondents are stationed at

They lead or accompany the seekers for

Of the Arctic Ocean. At home. The Tri-
bune unfolds the combinations which as

An EarthuUake,

Recent intelligence from Central Amer
lea fully confirms the report of the destruc-
ton of San Salvador by an earthquake
Instead of there being any mitigation of
the disaster, the latest news received from
the i'll -fated city indicates it's total destruc-
ton. On the 4th of March, just as the day
was drawing to close, the first violent
shock was felt, and it continued at inter
walls from that time until the final blow
came, on the morning of the 10Th, when the
entire city was engulphed in ruin. 1t is
stated that the population of San Salvador
was about 10000, of which number five
hundred lost their lives or were wounded.
From the 4th to the 10Th it is evident that
the greater portion of the inhabitants pre-
pared for the approaching calamity, many
of them leaving the city, while others
abandoned their dwellings and lived in
the plaza. The city, we are told, ''was
regularly built, and contained several
churches and converts, was a depot for
sugar and indigo and had some manufac-
lures of iron wares and cotton goods. A
bout three miles distant is the volcano of
San Salvador. Seen from the town, this
fire mountain forms beautiful cone, with
a gently sloping summit, crowned to the
highest peak with thick forests. The era
ter is perfectly preserved, more than half a
league in circumference. and is partially
filed with water. 1t rises about 900 feet
above the table-land on which it stands"
The destructive character of the shock may
be estimated from the fact that only two
buildings of the whole city are left, and
the loss of property is placed at twelve
millions of ADMINISTRATIONS Gazette.

New Postal Arrangements.

The third section of the postal appropri-
alton act of the last session, approved
March 8, provides that all laws and parts
of laws permitting the transmission by
mail of any free matter whatever, be and
are hereby repealed from and after June
80, 1878. Under this law, from and after
the 90th of next June, quarterly or yearly
prepayment ofpostage will be required on
all newspaper exchanges and country
newspapers the same as is now, and will
be then required in the case of all mail
subscriptions, namely five cents per quar-
ter for weekly newspapers, thirty cents per
quarter for papers published six times per
week, and thirty-fve cents per quarter for
daily papers, prepayment per quarter or
per year to be made either at the office
where mailed or at the office where deliv-
cred; in other words, all newspapers by
whomsoever sent or received.
By the postal code now in force publish
ers sending newspapers without prepay
ment of postage to persons who are not
subscribers, are subjected to penalty of
fifty dollars for each offense after notifca-
ton by the Postmaster General; but all
persons or journals paying postage on
newspapers received as exchanges will be
regarded by the Postoffice Department as
subscribers within the meaning of the law.

The Oyster Question.
PORT TOBACCO, 21st April, 1878.
county!

PORT TOBACCO, 21st April, 1878.
CAPT. WELLS Il herewith hand you,
for publication, letter from a gentleman
living in the lower section of our county,
touching the oyster interest which attaches
to the Jurisdiction of this county. The
letter, as you will perceive, is in reply to
one previously addressed to the writer by
myself I hope it will appear in this
weeks issue of the Times, and with that
view would have left it at your office
earlier but it only came to hand to-day,
since my return from Marlboro. I have
not the time just now to thoroughly exam
inc the law applying, and accordingly for
bear to express an opinion as to the pro-
priety of it's provisions. Indeed, to do so,
now, might appear, on my part, work of
supererogation, as I doubt not our late
legislative representatives will, as matter
of courtesy to their constituents, as well as
of justice to themselves, promptly explain
their course and the precise nature of the
provisions incorporated in the Act, and of
the benefits to be secured by it's passage
In my own judgment, there is more fault
in the matter to be found just now anchor
ed somewhere in Eastern Shore ATTITUDES
than anywhere else. As far as any advan-
tages, in the way of vigilance on the part
of certain officials, vouchsafed either to
the fisheries or the oyster interests of the
Western Shore, we have yet to discover
them Capt. Timmons and his scow don't
amount to much, unless, indeed, an undis-
puted title to the gratitude of oystermen,
was the end contemplated by the law au-

Our army in Oregon has been mystifed.
After Captain Jack was beaten out of his
cave it was announced that he had fled to
the hills. Traces of his flight were seen,
and there ensued reign of terror among
the settlers. General Schofeld now tele-
graphs that he has reason to believe the
Modocs are still in the lava beds-which
are full of hiding places-and he hopes to
catch them all yet So mote it be.
