Albert Edwards Tour in India.

"An Indian" who writes to the Lon
don Times noting the triumphal visit of
the Prince of Wales, says tThe value
of the whole OF the presents will not
much exceed forty thousand pounds.
It may, however, be necessary under
this head to apply to Parliament for a
supplementary grant of EGO, 200, there
by raising the sum of the appropriation
on account of the Princes personal ex-
penses from 100000 to 100000. The
value of the English goods ordered by
the Princes of India to furnish their
palaces for the reception of his Royal
Highness amounts, on careful calcula-
ton, in London alone, to fully t250, 900;
and the taste which the Prince s visit
will create among the higher orders of
the natives of India'fo English fancy
goods will, it is thought, permanently
increase the export of the productions
of English skilled labor-of the 'Sidonia
wares of London, Birmingham and
Staffordshire-to India. It is, in the
opinion of those best informed on India,
impossible to exaggerate the beneficial
political influence of the Princes visit.
He has completely won the admiration,
respect and loyalty of all classes. The
key to it is given in remarkable OBJ
servation of the Rajah of Vizianagram !:
His Royal ::Highness is to the Viceroy
as the Divinity to His symbol And
this strong tie, which the Prince of
Wales visit has created, of personal 10y
atty to himself, if wisely cultivated, will
do more than almost anything else grad
ually to convert the feudatory Princes
and Chiefs into real pillars of the British
Empire in India.

Pimp1es, E~uptions, Rough Skin.

The system being put under the influence OF
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for a
few weeks the. skin becomes smooth, clear,
soft, and velvety, and being Illuminated with
the glow of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all its glorG. The effects
of all medicines which operate upon the system
through the medium of the blood are neces-
sarily somewhat SLOW no matter how good the
remedy employed. While one to three bottles
clear the skin of pimples, blotches, eruptions,
yellow spots, comedones, or grubs, dozen
may possibly be required to cure some cases
where the system is rotten with scrofulous or
virulent blood poisons. The cure of all these
diseases, however, from the common pimple to
the worst scrofula, is, with the use OF thss most
potent agent, only matter of time. Sold by
dealers in medicines.

Two Horse Stories.

This one is from the Kansas City
Times. Arthur Regain, little boy OF 8
years, who has been III the habit of rid
ing Mr.. Spence's livery horses to the
creek, would have been drowned one
day last week, had it not been for the
animal he was riding. The creek was
very high, and the boy rode the horse
into deep hole or dam, and was thrown
over the horses head into the water.
The horse caught the boy by the back,
carried him to the bank, and then started
for the stable. Mr.. Spence, becoming
alarmed, ran to the creek and found the
boy, who told him the story, and upon
examination of the boys back he found
the marks of the animals teeth In the
clothing of the lad, as well as very red
marks in the flesh.
And this one from the Boston IrGveler::
Mr.. Ezra Tirren, an aged resident of
Weymouth, has for many years been q
constant attendant on Sabbath services
at the Old North Church in that place.
He owns q horse of unexceptiOnable
moral character, which, though not lay
ing claim to as great an age as his pos
SCISSOR, still is venerable with the weight
OF years. 1uIS uOTS0 Has CtI1ASu LILO
owner and family to church so many
times that he appears TO have been thor
oughly indoctrinated into the orthodox
custom of church going, and also seems
to recognize the proper day and time for
such journeys. Several Sabbaths since,
as the family were not in usual health,
Old Roam was given leisure day; but
when the bells for meeting began to
ring, true to his principle, or doing
honor to his training, he started off
alone, called moment at neighboring
house, where his master usually took In
another passenger, and proceeded on his
way to church. He took his accustomed
stand there, staid during the service,
and was escorted home at the close by
one of his obliging neighbors, apparently
with duty performed.

shocking Occurrence.

A letter from Raleigh, N. c., says
A monstrous thing happened here this
morning, in which bulldog fought
people who tried to rescue an idiotic
woman from fire which was consuming
the house in which she had been placed
for safe keeping. Mary Ann Dolan was
the daughter Of Pat Dolan, proprietor
of the College hotel. She was an idiot,
and was kept in sort of coop in an out
house used as kitchen. She was twen-
ty-fve years of age. The cook had
gone out, leaving the door fastened and
the idiot in her coop. In some way or
other a fire broke out, but the woman
might have been saved had not big
and ferocious bulldog stationed himself
at the door and fought the firemen like a
tiend, as if really possessed by the devil.
It was in vain that the men attempted to
enter the place; it was impossible to do
so. The dog would not bulge except
to snap and fly at the fremen. The
idiot woman seemed exalted or frenzied
by the fire, and danced and sang /" The
prettiest little girl in the country" at the
top of her voice, and as gayly as posi-
BILE. After the flames were exiting uished
it was found that both her legs were
burned off, and nothing remained OF
her head save the brains.

TIE Business Barometer.

In what sense is there Improvement in
business Railway earnings look well
the returns of twenty-five roads show
earnings of SO, 308, O74 for certain weeks
of 1875, against 1856, 651 for the cor
responding weeks of 1876, gain of
nearly % per cent. Nor is this gain
confined to few roads. OF those re-
porting, every road except three returns
larger earnings thus far than during the
corresponding portion of last year. This
is not the only encouraging sign. Grain
receipts at lake ports from Aug. to
Feb. 26. -four included as wheat, aggre-
gate 1866, 203 bushels, against 102,-
731, 1903 during the same time last year.
Shipments from lake and river cities
since August show an increase of more
than SO per cent. compared with ship
ments during the same time last year.
Cotton receipts at all ports from Sept.
to March Z aggregate 3, 533, 604 bales,
against 8, 012, 662 during the same time
last year, and exports since Sept. are
2,244, 812 bales, against 1,869,095 last
year. At New York receipts of almost
every importaut article are larger this
wear thus far than for the corresponding
weeks of last year, and reports from
other cities give evidence of like i'm
proyements. The Public, NeaO York.

PREHISTORIC RACES.
Civilization on the american Continent
Previous to the Discovery by Columbus.


Civilization on the american Continent
Previous to the Discovery by Columbus.
Three hundred years ago, says the
GoLnyu. the heart of American civiliza-
tion Law in high valley of Anahauc,
meaning "the region of water" or "the
Lake country" where now the Republic
of Mexico has It's Capital. Less than so
miles long and 40 wide, it is somewhat
comparable to the Valley of Salt Lake,
in Utah, from the southern end of that
sheet of water. Like that valley, 1t is
surrounded by noble mountains, snow
capped. This seems small area to be
the home of several fiercely- contending
nations, but such it was in fact. There
are misty accounts of civilization there,
and to the southwark, from the sixth to
the fourteenth century of our era, which
was in some respects at least OF higher
grade than that of which we shall pres
emily speak. But some cause swept that
away, and the authentic part of Amerl-
can history begins In 1926, when the
Aztecs, hard pressed by wa1-hke neigh
bors. established themselves on the
swampy shores and on some low islands
In the lake.
their first hut,-a temple,-and around
it rose within three centuries ver1table
Venice, though lacking the Venetian de-
velopment of art. In Cortes' time 1t
was said to contain $1,000 houses and
800, 900 people. Around the Lake were
fifty other towns, one of which Is said to
have been larger than Mexico. Aque-
ducts brought water from the hill of
Chapultepec, fountains played in the
squares, gardens and menager1es gave
the city lounging places, and canals,
threaded by thousands of canoes, coD-
tributed to It's life. Palaces and temples
literally rose on every hand, and, though
the architecture was not imposing, the
extent of the former was such that the
harem contained 5000 inmates, and one
of the halls was large enough to receive
an equal number of men.
The means by which the Aztecs rose
so rapidly from the position of half
fugitive people to that of a dominant
race is not well understood, though a
line of ambitious Kings and the restless
activity of the people must explain 1t.
Their position in the midst OF a lake
made their capital secure, but otherwise
they seem to have been on about the
same footing as their neighbcrs. ALI
were restless and warlike, all pract1ced
cannibalism, and all sought the favor of
their bloody gods with equal persistence.
The most that can be said is that the
tribes of the Mexican Valley fought
among themselves; that In most fights
some one is victorious; and that in Ana
hauc the Aztecs were the conquerors.

Poor Organs.

The following from the New York
Christian ADVOCATE, written by its edl-
tor-in-chief, DIR. Currie, some years
since, is yet more true to-day than when
it was written as the popularity OF the
instrument has extended, the number OF
incompetent makers has increased. There
are now few articles in reference to which
the public is more deceived and imposed
This is attested by thousands of such in
struments now standing utterly useless,
all over the country, whichare but few
months or years old:
CABINET OR PARLoR ORGANS. AS
usual in such cases, the new and large
demand for these instruments has in
duced a great number of persons to en-
gage in their manufacture, some of
whom are quite unequal to the business
they have undertaken. It requires
something more than the mechanical
skill of the artificer in wood and iron to
make and prepare for use musical IN
strument and yet some have evidently
brought nothing else to their aid IN the
business. The result is that the country
is becoming filed with inferior and de-
fective instruments. Large sums of
money are expended for valueless ar
ticles, and the people are defrauded of
their needed musical education. The
evil is intensified by the fact that these
inferior instruments are, on account OF
their inferiority, most industrlously
urged upon the public. Because they
cannot compete with better ones In the
open market, they are pressed upon the
public by direct solicitations and be-
cause they offer larger commissions,
they are those most commonly offered
by agents and hawked by peddlers.
And as most purchasers are unable to
Judge the relative merits of these things,
the inferior articles are often bought
when better ones are desired, and would
be cheerfully paid for.
Induced by these considerations, we
have been at some pains to ascertain
what instrument of the many now So
Letting the public favor combines the
greatest amount of real excellencies. We
have prosecuted this inquiry entirely
independently of aid or direction from
interested parties. The opinions OF
some of the best musical critics, COM
posers, and performers have been OBJ
tanned, reports of experiments made In
the ordinary use of various instruments
in churches, schools, and families have
been compared, all of which with singu-
lar unanimity concur in assigning the
first place to the Cabinet Organ of Ma
son & Hamlin-a decision that CORES

Convictions. x We have
written these things without solicitation
from any one, and without the knowl-
edge of those whose pecuniary interests

our readers is the object we have sought
especially to promote, and in that inter-
est we have prosecuted our inquiries,
and we record our convictions. -N. Y.

Fashion Fripperies.

Puffs are much used in arranging the
hair.
Buttons are small and of the dress ma
terial.
Front darts are short, to make the
bosom seem low.
The standing collars Of dresses are
higher than ever.
The handsomest silk suits have bro
caded overdresses.
The new polonaises and overskirts are
SO long as almost to conceal the skirt
worn beneath them.
The fashionable dog collar In Paris is
band of black velvet ribbon holding an
antique medallion.
Cambria suits are prettier trimmed
with rufies. Rufies look better when
done up than plaitings.
The backs of many of the new waists
are cut in eight pieces, the seams OF
which run to the shoulder seams.
Brocades, stripes, serge effects and
plain colors all appear. among the I'M
portations of French dress goods.
American percales compete with the
French goods In fneness, color and

of basques at intervals and fill in the
slashes with fan pleatings.
The fashionable lace sacque is short
In the back and long in front. The
sleeves are coat-shaped. The bottom OF
the sacque is cut in slashes.
The earrings most sought for are made
with the hooks set quite low down on
the drops, SO that when they are in the
ears the hooks are not seen.
Buy laces in preference to fringes for
dress trimmings; the fringes are soon
out of fashion, the laces never are, but
will answer for trimmings for years.
Lace strings are used for ladies' bon
nets, ribbon ones for misses or young
girls. Both ribbon and lace strings are
seen In the capote bonnets of Older
women.
Basques are still made as cuirasses,
with sleeves matching the skirt and con
trasting with the bodice. The coal
sleeves are frequently made of two ma
terials.--Neo0 York Sun.

American Beef in England.

There was another consignment of
American meat in the market on Monday
morning, the quantity being not less
than seventy tons, which was sent up
from Liverpool on Saturday night. The
beef is just as good in every respect as
that previously reported on, and it is ev-
ident that the statesmen In the market
are finding the meat pays, for in some
instances they were careful to ticket the
meat as skilled in America" The cargo
