A TIMELY WORD TO TISITORS.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-All things consider
ed, there will be no better time to visit the Exhi-
ton than in these last days Of May and the first
week in June. The weather is perfect, the flow
ers, trees, and greenasw:d in the grounds are
looking their best. The city is remarkably healthy
Lodgings are abundant and comparatively cheap.
With the heats of midsummer will undoubtedly
come a great crowd as visitors, for we Americans,
As rule select the season of the year for pleas
ure trips when travel Is burden rather than q
pleasure. The wise, who have learned by expe-
risnce the discomiorts Of riding in railway cars
and sleeping two in bed in six by nine rooms in
the dog days, will improve the coming fortnight
for seeing the Exhibition, or defer their visits
til September. Let me offer word of advice to
visitors who desire to practice economy. Don't
be induced to pay unreasonable prices for board
by the plea that the city is crowded. 1t is not
crowded, and you can have a choice of hundred
roooms any day. Buy guide book. Study the
map of the city and street-car lines. Then invest
two cents in copy of The Ledger, in which you
will find every morning three or four columns Of
| rooms to let advertised. Start out in search of
quarters that meet your ideas as to cost and COM
fort and you will be pretty sure to find what you
want in an hour or two have heard of one or
two hotels "on the European plan" charging rs a
day for room without board. No one ought to sub
NIT to such an imposture. There are scores of
private houses that offer large, well-furnished
room, with breakfast and supper, for ~ day,
ond the supply Of such accommodations thus far
considerably outruns the demand.-Correspond-
snce Of NeD York Tribune.

Confederates succeeded, the American
Union would now have been broken into
fragments, warning against each other,
with Slavery firmly established wherever
the Confederate government held sway.
Sophistry may do its best to eradicate the
difference between the Rebel and the
Union soldier. but the manly, good sense
of the Northern people will make The
proper distinction. and award due honor
| to the boys who upheld the starry banner
| and poured out their lite blood in the name
of Humanity.
Since it has become apparent that the
ex Confederates are determined to keep
up the fight, through the ballot-box and in
the halls of legislation, for the principles
which underaid their effort to destroy the
Union. the greater is the necessity that
the moral distinction between the Union
and Confederate cause should be kept
clearly in sight. The conflict of prirci-
Piles will not be ended until all over the
South the ideas which triumphed at the
surrender of Lees army are acknowledged
and established. That they are not so ac
knowledged is evident from the utterances
of the Hills and fuckers, and from the os
tracism and violence with which republ
cans, white and black, are visited in the
South when they attempt to exercise the
rights belonging TO them. Let us Of the
North do what we consistently can to es-
tablish fraternal relations with the South,
but let us not forget that there can be no
lasting, substantial peace except on the
basis of Justice and Equal Rights for all.

Liver and Blood Diseases.
BY r. V. PIERCE, M. D., Author Of "The Peopl
Common Sense Medical Adviser"

BY r. V. PIERCE, M. D., Author Of "The People s
Common Sense Medical Adviser"
A healthy liver secretes each day about two and
a half pounds Of bile, which contains a great
amount of waste mater ial taken from the blood.
When the liver becomes torpid or congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxous sub
stance, which. therefore, remains to poison the
blood and be conveyed to every part of the system
What must be the blood when it is receiving and
retaining each day two and half pounds of poi
son! Nature tries to work off this poison through
other channels and 0rgans-.the kidneys, lungs,
skin, ETC., but these organs become overtaxed in
performing this labor in addition to their natural
functions, and cannot long Withstand the pressure
but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical center
of all vitality, is unduy stimulated by the unheal-
thy blood which passes to it from the heart and it
fails to perform its office healthily. Hence the
symptoms Of bile poisoning, which are dullness,
headache, incapacty to keep the mind on any sub
ject. impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or ner
vous feelings, gloomy forebodings, and irrtabilty
of temper. The blsod itself being diseased, as it
forms the sweat upon the surface Of the skn it is
SO irratating and poisonous that it produces dis
colored brown spots. pimples, blotches. and other
eruptons, sores, boils, carbuncles, and scrofuous
cannot escape becoming affected, sooner or later,
and we have as the result costiveness, piles, drop
sy, dyspepia, disrrhGa. Other symptoms are com
mon, bitter or bad taste in mouth, internal heat
palpitation, teasing cough, unsteady appetite,
choking sensation in throat, bloating Of stomach,
pain in sides or about shoulders or back coldness
of extremities, ETC., etc. Only few of the above
symptoms are likely to be present in any case at
one time. The liver being the great depuratipg.
or blood-cleansing organ Of the system, set this
great "housekeeper of our health" at work, and
the foul corruptions which gender in the blood,
and rot out, as it were the machinery of life, are
gradually expelled from the system. For this
purpose, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
with very small doses daily of DR. Pierces Pleasant
Purgative Pellets, pre- emnently the articles need
ed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst
scrofuls to the common pimple blotch, or erup-
ticu; Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their
mighty curative influence. Virulent blood poi
sons that lurk in the system are by them robbed of
their terrOrs, and by their persevering and some.
what protracted use the most tainted systems may
be completely renovated and built up anew. En-
large glands, tumors, and swellings, dwindle
away and disappear under the influence of these
great resolvents. may30- teod&wlw

XEHORIAL DAY.

To-day the living comrades of those
who fell in the. struggle for national life
during the Rebellion will again decorate
the graves Of the patriot dead. Every
city and hamlet within the territory which
was loyal to the Union cause will resound
with the tramp Of men who went out from
their homes to defend the "old flag" now
gathered together from the manifold ways
and works Of peaceful industry, to honor
and keep green the memory of the fallen
brave. And with these men, as they rev.
erently bear their burdens of the fairest
and sweetest of spring flowers, to deck
every hillock beneath which reposcs the
dust of soldier. there will 60 throng

battle or by disease or hardship incident
to war.-none whose feelings will not be
deeply touched by the hallcwed rites of
the day. Tender and loving hands will
prepare expressive tributes of affection
and respect. The old and middle-aged
will live over in memory the bloody strife
that closed eleven years ago. The young
viii learn the lesson of duty to country.
Eloquent lips will recount the deeds of the
heroic dead, how they suffered and bled
and died that the nation might live. So
should it be. Thus will the nation be ed
ucated in patriotism. The flowers strewn
upon the soldiers grave will wither, but
the impression made upon the young by
the ceremonies of Memorial Day will
never be obliterated.
There are those who sec or pretend to
see no difference between the Union dead
and the Confederate dead. They would
as readily deck the graves Of the one as
the other. Both they say were brave in
battle. each was actuated by patriotic ar
dor, there is no difference between them
except that the one was defeated and the
other victorious. Such language is fire.

BRIGHTER TRADE PROSPECTS.

Brighter trade prospects were inaugu-
rated yesterday in New York by an inn
mense peremptory sale of dry goods. 1t
was the largest days work of the kind
ever done in this country. Times have
looked rather blue for our manufacturers
of domestic textile fabrics. Several i'm
portant mills have been forced to suspend
recently, while others have been COM
pelled to run on reduced time. The situ-
alton has been gloomy enough. 1t was
urged by those who claimed to be well in
formed on the subject that the prevailing
dullness was owing to ovcrproduction,
and that the mills must stop until the
warehouses were cleared out.
few weeks since the manufacturers
took different view of the subject. They
concluded that there really was no over
production, but that the stagnation was
caused by waiting for bottom prices. So
they pooled large stock of their goods,
and their New York agents sent circulars
over the country announcing the sale.
This had the desired effect. Dry goods
dealers were present from all parts of the
country, and the result of the first days
sales is highly gratifying. 1t shows that
these dealers have plenty OF money to
buy, and that they have confidence in their
ability to dispose of their stocks. The
country has been waiting for bottom
prices, and now with this assurance that
they have been reached the retail trade,
all over the country, will doubtless revive.
The perplexing problem the manufacture
ers have been studying ever since the PAN
ic is also substantially solved. They must
make their products at the lightest possi-
BILE outlay. The cost of raw material and
of every other item of expenditure must
be cut down to the lowest figure. Then
quick sales and small profits must be their
motto as well as that of the retailers.
BY keeping their mills constantly running
and by getting prompt returns for their
goods, the manufacturers will make more
money even with the smallest profit, their
employees will receive more in wages. the
producers of raw materials will have a
steader and better market, and all branch
es of business will feel the revivifying re-
suits We trust the sales yesterday and
the others that are 10 follow will have the
effect to quicken trade, to start up mills
that have been long idle, and to infuse
confidence into all our industrial and mer-
camille circes.-4lbany Journal.
