casual notice. As 1 hastily glanced over its
pages, observed that it contained treatises

THE EAST ROOM,
which is beyond the green room, is
finely proportioned apartment, 50 feet

The ever varying throng, as it sweeps
around the room, reminds one of the
changing figures of kaleidoscope. There
are fashionable ladies who vie with each
other in dressing, and between ladies
who have graced foreign courts and our
own more ambitious bellies, there are
some rich displays of mantua-making
and dry-goods.
THE QUEENS OF THE LOBBY
are there, some all ablaze with brilliant
diamonds, others in somber widow
weeds, and others who evidently eschew
fashion and grace. They do not find

the Centennial appropriation, probably
thinking thatif Uncle Sans purse could
be opened for the extraction of large
sum, it would be easier to get out smaller
amounts hereafter.
As for gentlemen, there is no descrip-
ton of masculine wardrobe-court, d.
plomatic, military, naval, civil, and al
most uncivil, that we cannot see in the
East Room at Presidents reception.
There is not probably any other assem-
blage in the world more diversified in
its moral, social, intellectual and pri
mary qualities. One sees the most per-
feet simplicity and cheapness of attire
the most courteous manners, and the
most marked want of any manners at
all.
Yankee Doodle is the tune which
the band strikes up just before 10
O'Clock as the signal that guests must
retire. The vast company dissolves at
once, as did our great armies after the
War, and in good order. There is
never any boisterous or improper con-
duct exhibited at one of these receptions,
which are so peculiarly American that |
have thought it well to describe one at
length.

nheumatism a Symptom OF other Dis
eases.

The alarming extent of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. 1t has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result of other COM
plicated diseases Of the liver, kidneys, PAN
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is symptom. 1t
is also found that, by the removal Of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap-
pears, as q result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with joy
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms Of these diseases
are generally present in cases Of chronic
rheumatism, bat few have supposed the
disease to be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest remedy
can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs Or CURATIVE SYRUP; 1t appears to
be working many cures. We refer to the
article sold By Druggists and A J. White,
New York.

A MIRACLE has been wrought by ma
ture in the village of WoOnsocket,
Rhode Island. Frederick Luke sudden
ly became mute twenty years ago, when
he was still a youth. He rapidly fell in
to a decline, and the physicians only
gave him a few months 10 live. He,
however, fingered on from year to year,
and since 1876 a gradual Improvement
in his health became perceptible. A
few days ago he joyfully came to his
mother and articulated some words, in
stead of speaking in signs to her as he
had done for twenty years. His power
of speech is rapidly gaining, and some
of the most distinguished physicians of
Rhode Island are about to investigate
this remarkable case. ..
