WE invite attention to the business
card of Messrs. Moody Il Jemison, cot
ton factors and commission mer-
chants, Galveston and New York, to
he found in our advertising columns
this morning. This firm has been en-
gagged for eight years in the cotton fac
forage business in the city of Calves
ton, and from its established reputa-
ton we judge that there is no house in
the south that has given their patrons
more general satisfaction. They do
not speculate in cottons, having prom
ised their patrons that they would not
do so under any circumstances, when
they began business eight years ago.
Parties consigning their cotton to
them may confidently rely upon fair
sale, and upon getting the highest mar
ket price. The monopoly in cotton
presses having been done away with
in Galveston, the cotton business will
henceforth be conducted with more
satisfaction to all parties concerned
than ever heretofore. Colonel w. l..
Moody, the financial agent ofthe state,
who has been engaged for some
months in negotiating the sale of
bonds on Wall street, is the head of
the house, and will conduct the BUSH
ness I'm New York.

If the food taken into the stomach Is not
digested 1t decomposes. In the latter case
pungent gas is developed which causes sour
eructatlons, or else the stomach itself secretes
an acid, which, rising up Mt intervals, stings
the outlet sharply. These extremely disa-
greeable sensations are attributable to i'm
paired digestion. To get rid of them or pre-
vent their recurrence, II is only necessary to
tone and regulate the gastric organs with
Hostetter's Bittcrs. 1t will not answer to
postpone the great corrective with the idea
that the unpleasant symptoms will dlsap-
pear of themselves. So far from that being
the case, they almost invariably culminate. If
neglected, in chronic dyspepsia, with its con-
comitants of gnawing In the stomach, dizzi-
ness, perverted vision, headache and Sleep
lessness. 1t is true that all those disagreea-
bles may be obviated by course of the Bit
tiers, but how much wiser to anticipate their
arrival with one or two doses Of that pure
preventive of indigestion and strengthened
of the alimentary organs.

A 4 DINNER.

1t was in 1851, when Willard Fillmore
ruled this land, and times were slow.
There were two clubs of good-livers,
one in New York and the other in Phil
adelphia, and they spent one day in
every year and all their spare cash in
trying to rival each others annual
banquets. On the 18th of April, in the
year Just mentioned, the competition
eliminated in one of the grandest din
ners that ever wa eaten. Fifteen New
Workers were brought by fifteen Phila-
delphians to a just appreciation and full
understanding of what constitutes a din
ner, properly so called. The caterer
was John w. Parkinson, since then the
author of a series of articles on Gamer
lean Cookery" A survivor Of the New
York delegation, in n letter to the Phil
adelphia Press, tells the story as fol-
lows As this dinner was given In
April, it took the caterer greatly at a
disadvantage as to both game and veg
etables. 1t was "between seasons"
He could only obtain what he did by
special use of both telegraph and ex-
press. His lettuce, green peas, cauli-
flowers, ETC., had to be ordered from
Georgia. His reed birds came from
South Carolina. He sent anglers and
hunters to the woods and waters of Vir-
ginia. The salmon of the occasion
were swimming the night before in the
Kennebec, in Maine. The dinner con-
sisted of seventeen distinct courses.
Each course was a perfect banquet in
itself. Every separate course of viands
was accompanied with its own appro-
pirate course of wines. The expen-
~siveness and rarity Of the liquors will be
inferred when 1 say the opening Cog

every one of the thirty guests WAS a

waiter (colored), in the full evening
party-dress of the day-black panta-
looms and swallow-tail coat, with white
vest and white cravat. The gloves of
the walters were not cotton or berlin.
but the newest and best of white kid.
Among the choice and voluntary contri-
buttons to the common feast were two
bottles of Madeira wine, which were
brought by Joshua Price, a citizen who
was as well known in Philadelphia at
that day as Independence Hall. These
bottles had come down to him from his.
great-great-grandfather. They had
been in the family for wei $50 years.
Their great age was attested by the &C

our seats by this long and brilliant sue
cession of culinary e~nticeneuts, inter
spersed, of course, with that "feast Of
reason and flow OF SOUL" in the way of
wit and song, poetry, eloquence, and
anecdote which such bountibul good
chee- is sure to inspire, we sat so long
at the table that the u in the mean
time had both set and risen again. 1t
was precisely 6 o'clock in the evening
when we Sat down, and it was high 6 in
the morning when We arose. The Phil.
adelphia papers Of the day spoke of this
entertainment as "the 81 1000 dinner"
The fact is, that our Philadelphia en-
tertainers paid the caterer 81, 800 for
the banquet-S50a plate. And yet such
was the expense incurred in providing
so great a variety of such rare and cost
ly viands that the purveyor made no
profit ever at that. Indeed, he stated
to the committee that while he asked a
carte blanche, he would employ a special
clerk who should keep an accurate &C.
count of all the OUTLAWS, and he would
add no profit for himself. "All that
he asked was the pleasure of showing to
our friends from New York what the
culinary and confectionery art could dc
in his native city of Philadelphia"

OUR TOES

Beyond question, We abuse toes
They are intended in the first place to
give fisxibility to the foot, and help us
in our walking but the modern custom
Of cramping them up in tight shoes
makes them almost as immovable as if
they grew together. So the help they
give is not so much after all. And as for
putting them to any other use, we never
think of it. We cramp and torture
them out of all likeness to their origi-
nal state. Who, for instance, could
imagine that the second toe was in
tended to be longer than the first?
And yet, in a perfectly formed foot, it
always IS, though we are obliged to &C.
to statues and paintings to it find out.
And who, putting a foot and a narrow
toed shoe side by side, would ever sus-
pect that they were intended for each
other? The fact is, III toes are our
most abused members, and so we don't
get half the good from them that We
might. The Chinese and the japanese
and Bedouin Arabs, it is said, from con-
tinual practice, use their toes almost as
we'll as their hands. Arabs braid ropes
with their fingers and toes working in
concert. Why, then, should We dis
nensa with the uSe of these natural
aids ?
