Nearly thirty years have elapsed since Hos.
the notice of the American. public. To-day it
is the most popular remedy on this cont.
%nentfor dyspepsia, livercomplaint, constipa-
ton, debility, nervousness, urinary and utter
inc complaints, govt, rheumatism, intermit-
tent and remittent fevers, and is widely used
IN South and Central America, Mexico, the
West Indies and Australia, as a. preventive
and remedy for malarious disorders, and for
many other maladies to Che relief of (which it
is adapted. The record of its victories is
written in the testimonials of thousands
whom it has cured, to many of which the
widest publicity has been given; it has won
the emphatic sanction of leading members of
the medical profession, and ithas repeatedly
been made the subject of encu1fliuns by the
home and foreign press. Comment on the
above facts is unnecessary. We leave the

A Menstr0sity.

The attention of medical scientists in
this vicinity has, for the past two or
three days, been quite absorbed in the
study OF n of the most peculiar NAL
formations of the human form ever
Eel On Monday or Tuesday last the
wife of a wealthy gentleman in the city
gave birth to Il full-term female child
of about eight pounds weight, and, with
two or three exceptions a. perfectly
formed and developed as any infant.
Were it not for the fact that nature
never makes a mistake, and only
appears to have done so when OBJ
structed or oVerbalanced by foreign in
1uences, the formation of this child
might be termed, as such things often
are, "eurious freak of nature" This
child had no nese or eyebrows, nor vas
there any depression in the face in the
natural place for eyes. 1t had only one
eye, and that was located directly in the
center of the forehead. The mouth
was small, the lips finely cut, and the
ears, feet, hands and limbs were of
good proportions. The head above the
eyes sloped backward like that of an
Aztec, and the back of the Uranium was
well covered with fine brown and curly
hair. In one respect the child was
nearly as fully developed as an adult.
The infant lived about five hours, and
after its death the body was entrusted
to Undertaken Tinkham for burial.
While in his charge it was viewed by
several professors and students from
Harvard College, and on Saturday by
DR.. Folsom, from the Massachusetts,
General Hospital, assisted by other
physicians from the same institution,
took a plaster cast of the body. Med
ical men pronounce it one, of the most
curious malformations known to the
profession, and they a give no physi-
illogical reasons for the peculiar devia-
ton from the course of nature. To
those who have read Homer'ss descrip-
ton of Polyphemus, a SON of Neptune,
and one of the Cyelops in Sicily, hay-,
ing but n eye, and that in the cen-
ter of his forehead, the peculiar forma-
ton of this child may suggest that it's
mother had been reading the ffliad, and
her mind had become deeply impressed
with the exaggerated picture of the
one-eyed monster.-Boston Herald.

Ruskin's Advice to Girls About Dress.

Dress as plainly as your parents will
allow you, but in bright colors (f they
become YOU and in the best materials
that is to say, in those which will
wear the longest. When you are really
in the want of a new dress, buy it (or
make it) in the fashion, but never quit
an old one merely because it has be-
come questionable. And if the fash
ion be. costly, you must not follow it.
You may wear broad stripes, or mar
row, bright %colors, or dark, short petit
coats, or long lin m~oderation), as the
public wish you; but you must not buy
yards of useless stuff to make a knot or
founce, nor drag them behind you on
the ground, and your walking-dress
must never touch the ground at all. |
have lost much of the faith | once, had
in the common sense, and even iii the
personal delicacy, of the present race
of average English women, by, seeing
how they will allow their dresses to
sweep the streets, if it is the fashion to
be scavengers.I Learn dressmaking
yourself, with pains and time, and use
a part of every day in n~eedlework,
making as pretty dresses as you can for
poor people who have not the time or
taste to make them nicely for them
selves. You are to show them in your
own wearing what is most right and
graceful, and help them to choose
what will be the pretSiest and most be-
coming in their own station.

HARTFORD, CT, July II.
The reception to Gov. Jewell in this
city tonight was grand ovation. A
committee of citizens of both political
parties met HIM in New Haven, and
after a reception there came to Harte
ford by special train, stopping at Me-
riden, where thers was a welcome ad-
dress by Hon. O. II. PIatt and re-
sponse by Coy. Jewell. At Hartford
thousands of people assembled at the
depot, q salute of fifteen guns was
fired, and the arrival of the train was
hailed with music, rockets and colored
fires.
Governor Jewell was welcomed by
Mayor Sprague, Democrat, who said
the people felt that there was no blot
upon his escutcheon, and that the
readiness of the people to resent an
apparent injustice had added to this
assemblage many of his political op-
ponents.
Gen. Jewell expressed his gratitica-
tion at the cordial welcome of his
friends and naighbors, whom he was
glad to meet again and accepted the
demonstration as an evidence that his
friends approved his public course. He
was glad to be promoted to the highest
possible rank-that of an American
private citizen. A procession consists
ing of seven companies of the first
regiment State militia, the Governors
Guard and the Cambridge Guard (col-
ored) then escorted the Governor to
his residence Fireworks being set
off on the route, and the residences of
citizens being generally illuminated

Col. A. n. waddeII as He Appears
to the Eyes Oi a European.
The following extract is from the
HdddingtOashire Courier. Scotland,
Of June Odd, taken from a communica-
tion to that paper by its Editor.
who is visiting the United States. The
extract gives his impressions of the
House of Representatives and it's
members, and particularly of Colouel
Waddell, the able representative from
this Congressional District:
The House of Representatives, an
swe1ing to our House of Commons, is
separated from the Senate House by
the main building, where the national
library has found an appropriate rest
ing place-the two great deliberative
bodies being kept apart or rath r
united by this common literary bond !;
but at the same time having free facil
tiles, in tha ample lobbies that ira
verse the interior, to hold friendly in-
tercourse with each other while the
Houses are in session. I was fortunate
enough to find them in this position.
though equally unfortunate to go at
an hour when the Senate were in
secret session on the Belknap scandal,
and had therefore strictly closed their
doors against the outside pnblic. The
House of Representatives conduct
their business in more popular man
ner, and, under the guidance of my
experienced and obliging cicerone. [
felt myself somewhat unexpectedly on
the floor of the House, and ere was
aware, in conversation, one after an
other, with more than q dozen of the
memb srs, to whom was introduced
as a stranger from Scotland. Now it
was a representative from Iowa, then
one from Kentucky, at another lively
member from New York or Penusyiva-
MIA, but confess that the gentleman
of all others whose temporary ac>
quaintance gave me the greatest pleas
ure was Mr.. Waddell, the member
for North Carolina. He was the very
type of a we'll bred Southerner, frank
and gentlemanly in his manners; mans
ly, bold, AMI decided in the expression
of his opinions; and I was not sur
prised to learn that he had held a dis
tinguished position in the Southern
armies when the death struggle was
at it's fiercest. It was not little sim
gular to find a man who had so
recently revolted against his Federal
allegiance holding an influential posi-
tion in the counsels of the still United
States, but all parties seem to have
made up their minds that bygones
must be bygones, and that the Ratchet
of civil war must be forever buried.
A debate of some kind or other was
going on during the hour or two [
remained in the hall, but with the
exception of one or two rows of
benches round the speakers no one
seemed very much interested in what
they had to say; and the orators, not
a few of whom seemed to have made
the spasmodic school of elocution their
special study. get it pretty much their
own way. This apathy could be ac-
counted for on no other reasons than
Indifference to the question on hand.
