At the coming Centennial Newspaper Ex-
hibition at Philadelphia, it has been decided
to display copies of antique journals and 9TH
err curiosities of newspaper literature. To
this interesting collection all persons having
ancient, quaint, or curious specimens are in
vited to contribute; and should the response
be as hearty and general as we hope to find
it. this gathering of time-worn publications
will prove to be not only leading trait of
the Newspaper Department, but also one Of
the salient attractions of the Exhibition as a
whole. All having the ability and the will
to aid on the project should transmit their
consignments without delay to the Philadel-
Phia office Of the Newspaper Exhibition,
Ledger Building, 10 South Sixth Street,
Philadelphia. Whilst on view, these exhib-
its will have attached to them labels desig-
mating by whom they are contributed, and
all consistent care will be taken to preserve
them from damage. After the close of the
of their owners, or, in the absence of differ
ent instructions, will be transferred to some
historical society or museum.
During the late war there were many news
papers issued which illustrated the straits in
which the publishers found themselves. Pink,
blue, and yellow sheets, wrapping paper, and
many other substitutes were pressed into the
service. Specimens of these now possess a
curious interest.
The advantages to the public of such a
ders calculation unnecessary, and the oppOr
tunity to do a very useful act is placed within
easy reach. A single copy of some senile
broadsheet may not be of much worth to its
proprietor, yet in conjunction with others it
will make up worthy collection. Many
people there are who, having preserved such
curiosities for years, can turn them to little
practical account, and it is not too
much to hope that the response given by such
will be ready and general. Without loss to
themselves they can materially benefit visit
ors to the Great Centennial Exhibition, and
appreciably advance patriotic movement.
THE huge, drastic, gripping, sickening
pills, constructed of crude, coarse and bulky
Ingredients, are fast being superseded by DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, or Sugar
Ambitious Granuies-the "Little Giant %
Cathartic or M,otun. in ParrO Physic. Mod.
ern Chemical Science enables Dr.. Pierce to
extract from the juices of the most valuable
roots and herbs their active medicinal Prin-
ciples, which, when worked into little Pellets
or Granules, scarcely larger than mustard seed,
renders each little Pellet as active and pow
erful as large pill, while they are much
more palatable and pleasant in effect.
DIR. IRA A. THAYER, of Baconsburg, Ohio,
writes: 81 regard your Pellets the best
remedy for the conditions for which you pre-
scribe them of anything have ever used, SO
mild and certain in effect, and leaving the
lew lis in an excellent condition. 1t seems
to me they must take the place of all other
cathartic pills and medicines"
LYON d MACoMBER, druggists, Vermillion,
d. T., say: eve think they are going to sell
like hot cakes as soon as people get acquaint-
ed with them, and will spoil the pill trade, as
those who have used them like them much
better than large pills"
