The Hind King.

The most beautiful princess IN Europe is said
TO be the Prnt ess Fredsrics, the daughter OF the
eI-King OF Hanover and Marie Of 6sxony Alton
burg Her beauty ia greatly enhanced by the ro-
mantle story OF her life her tender devotion to
her blind aud eIiled father the sprightly cheer
funess ahe always displays, and her untiring ef-
forts to make happy the home into which the
fortunes OF war have forced them. George the
V. is one OF the victims of Sadowa, but the blood
of the Guephs runs hot In his veins, and he re-
fuses to acknowledge the Prussian title to his
dominions, resting solely on the right of arms
and spending his days alternately at Paris and
Vienna; 1t was from this last place he issued his
spirited protest, Sept %, 1866 after giving stout
battle to his enemies at Lsngensalza In Paris
his favorite resort is the lake in the lois de
Boulogne near which his daughter guides
his uncertain steps, Frightening his
darkened life with the sunshine OF her
presence, and where they are followed by the
love and respect Of the French people, who look
upon the noble pair as fellow-sunerer. from
Prussian sscendency, and carefully avoid dis
turhing their privacy by staring and mocking.
Their fortunes are greatly reduced since the
conquerors OF the "Bliud King" refuse to give
him the greater part Of his private fortune, which
they hold, until he acknowledges their suprerna-

Appalling DuIIness-LIIc in Portugal

Mr.. j. Latouche has been travelling through
Portugal on horseback, and by out Of the way
routes, and has given the world very interest
ing record OF what he saw. Hs'account OF the
lives Of well-to-do folks in Portuguese country
towns is labsolutoly appalling for the idea Of
proligious dullness 1t conyeys
The larger OF the county towns have streets
full OF gentlemen's houses and here vegetate,
from year to year, families who are lust rich
enough TO live without working. To live, indeed
IA the Portuguese do in such towns need cost
hut little, large house. with plot OF cab
bage, kale yard behind 1t with whitewaAhed
walls, door unexpected a dozen wooden chairs,
one or two deal tables no fireplace, not even a
stove either in sitting or bed room no curtains

want OF 1t, but which either way give such an
individual character and charm to English
homes All these negatives describe the utterly
dreary habitations OF the middle class Portil-
s5uese. For occupations the women do needle
work, gossip, go TO mass daily, and look out of
the window by the hour, Except the one short
walk to the church at O clock in the morning, a
Portuguese lady hardly eyer appears in the
streets As to the men they lounge about
among the shops; they smoke innumersble

womans shawl ia worn--for this Ia $ fashion in
Portugal, and the Spsniards laugh good deal
at their neighbors on the score Of their being
q nation who inyert the due order Of things.
In these towns there is never any news, and il
two men are seen in eager discussion OF some
matter Of apparently immense Importance, and
il one happens to be near enough TO overhear
the subject of conversation be sure that one Of
them is plunged in despair or kindling with
enthusiasm at a rise or fall of asshalf-penny in
the price OF pound Of tobacco. There are not
even fashions for them to think about Young
men and old men dress alike, but the younger
men wear exceedingly tight boots, and when
they take their walks abroad it is obvious
that they do 30 in considerable discomfort
The young men, however, have one occupation
more important even than wearing tight boots-
that OF making the verv mildest form Of love
known among men. The process, indeed, is
carried on IN 20 platonic manner and with 40
much proper feeling that doubt If even the
strictest English governess would lind anything
to object. The young gentlemen pay their ad-
dresses by simply standing in front Of the
houses occupied by the objects OF their af-
fections, while the younger persons in qnen-
ton look down approyiugy from tho upper
windows, and there the matter ends.

A Train of Evils.

Ifweakness of the stomach is allowed to
become chronic, the following evils SUI
pervene-DigestiOn Is permanently i'm
paired, the system Is very imperfectly
nourished, the blood becomes thin and wa
terry, and the bile being unemployed, for
digestive add evacuative purposes, enters
the circulation through the thoracic duet,
and injects itself into the superficial
vessels, giving to the skin and whites of
the eyes the saffron tinge indicative of bill
iousness, Headache, nausea, constipa-
ton, pains in the side. palpitations, heart
burn, dizziness, and many other harass-
ing symptoms which accompany the In
ternal arrangement above described,
which, if unchecked is as sure to be fol-
lowed by serious disease, as the rising OF
the sun by its setting 1t is manifest,
therefore, that an inability of the stomach
to act upon the food should be overcome
without delay. The invigorating iuftu-
enee upon that organ of HOstetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is speedily felt In the disap-
pearance Of all the disagreeable symptoms
alluded to. The prescribed mineral rem
edies for general debility usually fail to
achieve any lasting result, because they
do not invigorate the stomach; Hostel
ter's Bitters always succeed because that
is their primal effect. The very fact that
they are such an excellent stOmachic con-
stitutes them one of the best general ton
les in existence. TO restore digestion is
the final step towards the recovery Of
health, when impaired by any OF the null
hilarious complaints which spring from
dyspepsia, and that step will be found to
have been taken by the invalid who has
availed himself of this famous anti-dys-
peptic remedy.
