use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when repaired.
Long experience has proved them to be the SAT-
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptons OF the sys-
tenn expelled, distractions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Ayers Pills, and
stimulated into action Thus incipient disease
is changed into health, the value Of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length OF time, so
that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution or diet, or
occupation.
Fuil directions are given on the wrapper to
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, ListIess.
ness, Languor and Los: Of APPetite, they
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp-
toms, Hiliogs Headache, sick Head
ache, Jaundice or Green sickness, Bill
f0us Collie and Bilious Eevers. they should
be judiciossly taken for each case to correct the
diseased action or remove the distractions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism. Gout Gravel, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Pain in the
Side, Back and Loins, they should be contin-
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical swellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
TO produce the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppression. large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by SYM
pathy.
AS Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invgorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious arrangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renoyating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

QUE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Annual EnspectfOn and Review-Cred.
liable Appearance of the Depart
ment-Tbe Movements at Scott
Circle.
The annual review of the Fire Department,
which took place yesterday in the circle about
Scott square, was very creditable to the de-
partment and to the city. The engines, hose
carriages and trucks belonging to the depart
ment were gathered before No. l engine-house
on 4 street, near Seventeenth, shortly after
8 o'clock. Henry Addison engine, No. 5, met
with an accident in responding to an alarm of
fire earlier in the afternoon, by which one of
the aXles was broken, and therefore this en-
CINE was not present, but its reel and the men
of the company Joined IN the review. At 4
O'Clock the procession was formed and pro-
ceeded by way of Seventeenth street and Rhode
Island avenue to the Scott statue circle, where
1t was reviewed by District Commissioners
Dennison and Ketcham and Fire Commits
sioners Morgan, Reed, TAFT and Hume.
A large number of people, including many
ladies, were present, and we're much inter-
ested in the movements of the engines. The
iremen were all Uniformed in neat new suits
of blue, with brass buttons. The apparatus,
harness and horses were in excellent condition.
The evolutions and movements around the
circle were directed by Chief Engineer Cronin
and Assistant Chief Drew. When the depart
ment entered the circle the four engines were
abreast; Immediately behind them were the
hose-carriages, and the hook and ladder truck
brought up the rear. After moving around
the circle at a slow pace in this order, the
horses were urged to a run, and several cir
cults were made at quite rapid speed. Then
they drew out, each engine and its reel being
side by side. Finally they drew out in single
line, each engine being followed by its reel.
The horses were then whipped to the top of
their speed, and the apparatus ratified around
the statue st q lively rate. 4 halt was made
after a few circuits, and at the proper
signal from gong the different companies
dismounted in turn, and formed line in front
of their respective engines. The several COM
panies were then formed into squads, the fore
man of each standing a few PAGES in front of
his men. When the latter had dismounted an
inspection tour was made by the Commis-
sioners. The appearance of the men was
keenly scrutinized, and the condition of the
horses, harness ard apparatus closely ex-
amined. After this formality the men re-
mounted, and the department galloped around
the circle several times, and then darted out
of the. circle at sharp run, each company
making its exit by different street or avenue.
This ended the review.

Sitting BulI's Programme.

CHICAGO, Nov. ga dispatch concerning
the Indian fight, from Gen. Crook, received at
military headquarters here this morning, says:
An Indian who came In to us here this morn
ing says that while in Crazy Horses camp
runners came in from Sitting Bulls village
with the information that he had made peace
with the whites, 20 the effect that they were
TO bel allowed to hunt bsffalo until spring,
when they were to have an agency on the
Belle Fourche, in the Black Hills, and that
part Of Sitting Bulls village was talking of
moving up to go to Crazy Horse, who was
camped on the Rose Bud, near the point
where General Fer ry aud met last summer.
So much Of the foregoing as relates to Sitting
Bull Is discredited at military headquarters.

1t Is satisfactory to be able to record the
fact that while great uncertainty seems to
prevail as to the financial condition of nu-
merous insurance companies throughout the
country, embracing also several high-ranked
foreign ones, whose gorgeous array Of capital
looks exceedingly well in print,) our prominent
home fire insurance companies are unscathed,
no doubt owing to efficient management and
judicious absence to wild speculations and
risks. The Arlington Fire Insurance Com
pany for the District of Columbia, for in
stance, has never been in more prosperous
condition and better working order than at
present, and an insight to its affairs is always
courted. Their surplus is nearly as large as
their paid-up capital, (s2O0, o0o,) and all
losses that they have incurred have been
promptly paid without resort to court. In
fact they are now enabled to issue policies on
real estate or personal property at such equit-
ably low rates as to bespeak for them increased
business. Their Office is No. 1905 Pennsylva-
MIA avenue, north of the United States Treas
ury, where all applicants for policies will re-
ceive polite and immediate attention at the
