know that the prices Of croquet sets have been
very much reduced, and are now brought within

Herbali Stic Remedies.

In former days, if member of the
household became indisposed, the family
head, under instructions from the gray
haired dame, went to the forest or the
field, to gather herbs or berries, from
which We're quickly made invigorating
extracts, which ere many days brought
the patient safely around, and saw the
family gathering once more without a
missing member. How is it now2 The
slightest indisposition brings the 'family

He feels the pulse, examines the tongue
looks very grave, writes few lines of
hieroglyphics, charges a big fee, and
leaves, only to return the next day and
find his patient mercurialized sufficiently
to be really sick. A week or two of at
tendance follows, and therein lies the
secret of wealthy physicians" Com
pare the physique of the present age with
the past, and the story is complete.

A Kings Amusement.

The King of Bavaria is known as q
most erratlc genius, and very fond OF
peculiar amusements. Here is his latest
as told by correspondent: For several
days the king had ordered that thirty OF
his best horses should be fed with oats
alone. The grooms thought that he was
preparing for race. In the midst of q
snow storm he had little tower built in
a forest, with a gallery, where, on GER
tain day, he stationed an orchestra of
wind instruments. He himself ascended
the summit of his observatory, around
which he ordered the horses to be led.
In the corn fields he had scattered here
and there drums, kettles, and some sol
diers with guns loaded with powder.
What could be the meaning of this An
order had been given that each one
should remain in his place in perfect
silence. The affair was beginning to be
tiresome, when suddenly the king, from
the top of his tower, made sign which
was expected by the leader of the or
chestra, by the drums, trumpets, and
soldiers. An internal hubbub burst
forth, rolling of great drums, powder ex-
plosions, shrill whistles, hoarse howl
ings. Seized with mad terror, the
horses started, burst their fastenings,
leaped up, wildly running here and there,
their tails and name floating in the wind;
they reared, zigzagged, whirled in cir
cles, fleeing the uproar which beloved
from all the bushes, and seemed to pur-
sue them. At last, one after the other,
the distracted and maddened animals
disappeared from the horizon. In the
evening, the next day, and the day after,
they were picked up enfeebled, still wild
and frightened. Some had fled to the
mountains, others to the woods and
marshes. The peasants had collected
several. We know not if any were miss.
ing. But no matter, his majesty had
been well amused. He had treated him.
self to sight unique in it's way and
worthy of exciting the envy and admira-
ton of small boys who hunt unfortunate
dogs and miserable cats in the street,
and fasten saucepans to their tails to drag
along the pavement.

Grocery Gains.

Persons who buy a pound of tea in
Paris will see the grocer put the tea in
paper bag and then put it on the scale,
bag and all, 50 that he sells paper at the
price of tea. This is q trife on one
purchase, but if fourishing grocer buys
a ton of wrapping paper in a year at the
price of paper and sells it to his GUS
toners at the price of tea and coffee and
sugar and fine groceries generally he
makes "A good gain. In that city of in
genious people the grocers have special
paper-not handsome, not more tena-
cious nor more delicate than otherpaper,
only HEAVIER. 1t is made with china clay
and similar substances, which make it
white, but make it also weighty. One
eloicier furnished with this special paper
will improve his profits by the consump-
ton of two or three times the quantity of
paper, tried in the scales, that would be
used by one who serves ordinary paper.

An Ingenious Prisoner.

Adolph Lawrence, In the Maryland
penitentiary, whose term of senteneefor
horse stealing expired on the 4th of
March and who il now serving ain add
tional three months for an adroitly
planned and successfully carried out
escape from the prison in 1870, has
proved himself n man of tio erdinhty
talent When tie keeper came to his
cell one morning in that year, the figure
of man with outstretched hand pre-
sented the customary check with which
each prisoner is designated, and it was
not for some time after that the prisoner
was gone that he discovered that the
figure was dummy made of clothing,
and that the hand was an excellent imi-
tation in plaster of paris. He was short
ly after recaptured, and has since been
one of the best of men, and at the same
time has turned his excellent abilities in
direction which is likely to prove
remunerative, at the same time that an
honorable and useful life in the future
is open to him. He is employed in the
shoe department, and some time since
invented an attachment to shoe stitching
machines, which is very simple and fills
want long felt. Through the board of
directors the invention was patented
and sale of the right for New York
made to a large manufacturing house in
New York city for 5000. The invention
has gained the good opinion of many in
the trade, and it is believed that when
the man is at liberty he will at once Sc.
cure competency in the sale of rights
to use and the royalty upon his inven
ton. Efforts to secure his release arc
strongly SEE olded by the board of direc-
| tors

Love i'm Washington.

Among the guests accommodated at
Mrs. Webb's house in Georgetown, says
Washington correspondent, was GER
tain legationist, Baron Won Havre by
name. He passed through the depart
ment one day on an inspecting tour,
along with party of friends, and was
arrested by the sight of fair sweet face
crowned with n golden glory, bending
industriously over some piece of writing.
He looked so long that his companions
chaffed him upon his sudden smite. He
returned alter few hours spent with
his friends, and inquired about the beau
tiful girl, and was soon afterward an in
mate of her house on the Heights.
The half sister, who dressed well, visited,
and did nothing, laid claim to the noble
mans attention, and the mother did all
she could to assist her daughter, but the
Baron had eyes and thoughts for the
neglected maiden, who rose so early in
the morning and marketed, and made
her pretty, simple dresses with her own
nimble fingers, and went patiently
through summer heat and winters snow
to her desk in the government office.
So, he offered her his hand, his heart,
and his fortune of $4,000 per annum,
and she became the lovely bride of n
nobleman in every sense of the word. 1
remember how beautiful she looked in
her filmy white dress with silken light
sheening through its lacey meshes, and
pearls, whose years numbered as many
as the beads which formed the necklace,
saw picture of her, taken from an oil
painting, after she had lived as happy
bride and beautiful mother in far-ofl
Germany. She sat in half-covered
arbor, with half wreath of flowers fall
ing carelessly from her lap tothe ground
Her arms and neck are both bare ant

quisitely nodded that jewelry would

Her beautiful hair is parted" one
moonbeam from the forehead to the
crown" and combed smoothly back from
her lovely face. She is the idol of hel
husband, and the admired of all the
mobiles.

New York Military.

A bill has been prepared for the re-
organization of the mi itary of the State
of New York. Among its provisions are
the encouragement of rifle practice;
$4,000 is to be yearly appropriated to
carry out this object. The general mill
tary organization of the Guard remains
unchanged, but in cities or villages
where there are no regiments or battal-
ions separate troops can be organized
which will be attached directly to
brigades OF divisions, as the case may
be, and in all matters relating to reports,
courts martial and military routine are
treated in the bill as regimental units.
The number of parades is left as before
(seven), but the number of special
parades at the discretion of commandants
is limited to four. Regimental appro-
priations are placed at $1,000 yearly,
battalion at $500, separate batteries and
troops mounted $1,000, and unmouuted
5000; separate troops of cavalry or in
fantry $400. Re-enlistments at the end
of the regular term of service for one,
two. or three years are permitted, and
discharges at the discretion of division
commanders on the recommendation OF
company and the approval of regimental
commandants.

The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up and from which we derive
our mental as well as physical capabilities,
how important that it should be kept pure. If
it contains vile fostering poisons all organic
functions are weakened thereby. Settling
upon important organs, as the lungs, liver or
kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Heno5
it bohooves every one to keep their blood in a
perfectly healthy condition, and more especially
does this apply at this particular season of the
year than at any other. No matter what the
exciting cause may be, the real cause OF a
large proportion of all diseases is bad blood
Now DIR. Pierce does not wish to place his
Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of
quack patent nostrums by recommending it to
cure every disease, nor does he so recommend
it on the contrary there are hundreds of dis
eases that he acknowledges it will not cure
but what he does claim is this, that there is
but one form of blood disease that it will not
cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not
recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet
he knows it to be the most searching blood
cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free
the blood and system of all other known blood
poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral.
The Golden Discovery is warranted by him to
cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all
forms of blotches, pimples and eruptions, also
all gandular swelings, and the worst form of
scrofulous and liberated sores of neck legs or
other parts, and all scrofulous diseases of the
bones, as white swelings fever sores, hip
| joint and spinal diseases, all of which belongs
to scrofulous diseases.

CIVIL RIGHTs.-United States Com
missioner Z. Mercer Shreve, of Trenton
N. j., rendered decision in the case of
the United States against Peter Katzen-
bach, proprietor of the Trenton House,
for refusing to allow two colored men to
play at billiards in the hotel billiard
room. The application was made to
test the law, and has excited unusual
interest in Trenton. The commissioner
held that the complaint did not come
under the Civil Rights act, and that the
proprietor of billiard room has the
right to exclude any person from playing
billiards in his rooms. Case dismissed.

Dear Sir-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swellings would appear and disap-

disease. In 1871 a swelling broke out on her
hip discharging large quantities, and since that
time there are several openings. Have had five
doctors at an expense of $125. who say nothing
will do any good but surgical operation.
July 16th 1873, lie writes thus My wife has
certainly received great benefit from tho use
of your Discovery, for she was not able to get
off the bed and was not expected to live week
when she commenced using it, year ago.
She has been doing most of her work for over
six months. Has used twenty bottles and still
