Surely ana 0HScIually control them. The testimony of our best citi- zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and cure the afficting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of COnsump. tiOn, cured by this preparation, are public ieved, were they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy it is adequate, on which the public may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con vinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, which are easily met at first but which become incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to be without it. As safeguard 10 children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PEcToRAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi tudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds securing sound and health restoring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain full Bronchitis, when they know how easily they can be cured.
 Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll is spared in making every bottle in the utmost possible perfection. It may be confidently re- lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has exhibited and capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

AN ExAsPERATED TAILOR.

How he Scattered an Unruly Mob Of Boys.
Saturday afternoon posse OF boys Of all ages,
sizes and grades of society, from the shsbbest to
the most geBteeLappearing, actuated by motives
Of pure deyiltry and unadulterated "cussedness,"
gathered about and daTkened the window of p.
Curtin, tailor, on Z street, near Twelfth north
west, with personnel and numerical strength
sufficient to constitute a Beaver-street hoax on a
small scale. After numerous and emphatic re-
quests on the part Of the tailor that the boys
break up the hilarious carnival, and threats that
ii they did not leave the premises he would get
policeman who would make them, the iniurated
tailor dashed into the crowd with the suddenness
and efficiency Of q bOmb-shell 10 war times. There
was pr0miscuOus scattering Of the offending
element. Large boys tumbled over sml all boys
In their efforts TO get away and grumbled that
their legs were not longer. The tailor succeeded
in catching two or three in each hand, but they
worked away from, one by one, amid hOrrlfyiug
shrieks OF agony, until his catch had narrowed
down to one small boy, whom he tossed about
with the agility OF master acrobat, when q
number Of humane gentlemen appeared upon the
scene to protect the mlschIevOus boy from the
bodily harm which seemed impending. The
tailor then let him 90, and said that his inten-
tiOns were only Of frightening character. A
boy has not been seen in that neigh bOrhOOd since.

Once, having for some time past been discussing
their ability as huntsmen, and each claiming to

was the victor. The gentlemen, together with a
host Of their friends, assembled on the ground,
and Messrs. Williams aud Derrick, two we'll
known marksmen Of the District, were selected
Judges. At 5 o'clock the match began, and al
though lowing to the state o: the weather. anC
both parties being only amateurs at that kind of
SPORTY the shooting was not as was expected, the
affair passed Oft very pleasantly. The shooting Of
Mr. Horn would have been better had he not worn
spectacles, which caused him to pull the wrong
trigger, and sometimes shoot TWO yards below the
bird. After the match the party recrOssed the

and spending pleasant hour repaired to their

ever held in Washington. as regards the horses
which were entered and the manner Of conducting
the races, being acknowledged by the owners,

horses OF that class in the United States en-
tered, the excitement was great and the attend
