The Maharajah's concert was given in
style of oriental magnifcence at the
town hall, before an audience of twelve
hundred, all of whom the Prince had in
vited. An illuminated arch was raised
above the porch of the building, and
above it blazed the "Star of India, "
with all the effect which gas jets and re-
Electors of FURNISHED silver could pro-
duce. The vaulted roof of the building
is supported by double rows of Corin-
THAN columns with corresponding pilas-
ters. The ceiling and walls were
painted i'm delicate green; groups OF
rose-colored lamps were suspended be-
tween the columns and pilasters, and
the nave was lighted with transparencies
designed to illustrate the greatness and
glory of Britain. The splendid COM
bination of light and color brought out
in full relief the garlands and festoons
of flowers which burdened the air with
perfume. Sofas were arranged SO as to
afford the guests full freedom of prone
made and conversation in the intervals of
the music. The Maharajah, with royal
munificence, brought the entire operatic
troupe upon the stage, while indepen-
dent bands of music were stationed at
all the approaches of the edifce The
turbaned and decorated prince appeared
in his own proper regalia of gold and
jewels, realizing the highest description
We have ever read of Eastern gorgeous
ness. He wore not only rings without
number on his fingers, golden girdle
at his waist, necklaces of jewels, and
ropes of pearls" on his breast, but
also blue-and-gold satin robe, which
was broidered to the depth of six inches
with solid mass of glittering precious
stones. 1t is needless to say that the
musical performance was very good, yet

does not look any older than at the close

him score of years at least. His form
is quite as erect, his step as firm !; and
being our host, on his own ground, he
seemed much more animated than of old
The attachment he showed for every
thing about him was quite touching. He
talked to tie men on the place and pet
ted the Newfoundland dog that was be-
side itself with JOY at his coming. In the
library he pointed out to us the objects
of interest, and noticed him laying his
hands lovingly on favorite books as if
they could respond to his touch. 1t was
a mute return for the pleasure they had
given him. He did not talk much about
politics, but asked me several questions
about Gov. Hendricks in his new posi-

Never Too Late to Mend.

When the stomach is in q state Of chronic rebel
lion against every kind Of food and the attending
physician with solemn and portcntous gravity
declares that such cases Of confirmed dyspepsia
defy all remedies do not put fa tn in his ipSe DIRT
Indigestion Of this obstinate character may be i'm
durable by his ptions, but il is therefore
an irremovable fixture in the system. The fact is
that the great vegetable invigorant and corrective,
Hostetter's stomach Btters, is radically curing
cases Of this seemingly desperate nature every
day. Indeed it is in those malignant phases of
dyspepsia which no ordinary medicine can control
that it's remedial properties are most wonderfully
manifested. We say 70 the lone>suffering martyr,
whose stomach is source Of perpetual torment to
him, that by the persistent and daily use of this
glorious tonic, he not only restore the digest
i've organs to their fun vigor, but can keep them
in good working order through life. If there is
constipation, the gentle aperient operation Of the
Bitters will remove all distractions and keep the
bowels in regular and healthy condition. The
grand Characteristic Of this vitalzing and purify
ing vegetable preparation is that il acts beno-
ficially upon every organ, controlling the liver,
reinforcing tho nerves, toning the coats Of the
stomach, promoting a healthy habit of body, re-
licvng the blood Of all impurities, clearing the
brain and revving the spirits.

EXPAND THE, LUNas.-There are
many people who hardly. fill their lungs

once in year as full as they can hold
with pure air. In consequence they be-
come liable, like any other half-exer-
cised organ, to contract disease. This
may be prevented by the following sim
pie exercise On rising from bed in
the morning, stand up straight, throw
the head back, and inhale all the air you
can now breathe slowly out, throwing
your arms behind you. Repeat these
long breaths few times every morning,
and you will much diminish your chances
of having consumption.
