are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be-
| employed; cleansing the stomach and
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses of one pin day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Wig
orous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than quarter of century, and
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimila-
tive organs of the body, and are SO
composed that distractions within
their range can rarely withstand or
eyade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have bafiled the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. BY their aperient action
they grippe much less than the common
purgativcs, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
1t from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
in all climates, containing neither
calomel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar coating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take; while being
purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

THE correspondent of the London Times
in Roumania gives the following account OF
the arrival Of the Car at Ploiesti; "The
sun had just sunk below the horizon when a
shrill whistle announced the coming of the
emperor, who was received with hearty
cheers. The reception was short, and in five
minutes the road, mere track, newly
covered with smooth, round stones from the
bed of river, was broken into clouds of dust,
REDEEMED by the evening light. The way
was not beset by Russian troops, being
guarded by the few Roumanian soldiers who
wandered about on horseback near it; but
when the Gear had driven three hundred
yards he saw lining the road and the streets
some of the same soldiers that met him at
Barboschi-men of all shapes and sizes, but
mostly young, dressed in dark uniform
about the same color as their faces, These
men broke into a weird song, which dates
from the insurrection of 1868, and asks help
from the Gar. 1t says, we have suffered
long enough, and must be true to one
another. 0 thou, great Russia, and thou,
our sister, Servia, why have you forgotten
us2 Why do you not come and help us p
At another part of the long line more than
four thousand Bulgarians sang a new song,
thanking the Gar for coming to help them."

KANSAS offers figures to prove its pros
perity and its claim to a great future. It's
population now is over half million. The
total grain crop of this year is expected to
amount to 12O,0O0,0OO bushels, of which
about S0,000,0O0 will be corn, nearly 2O,OOO,-
900 wheat, and the remainder oats, barley,
rye and other small grains. The value of
the agricultural products in 1875 was over
$43,0O0,000; this year it is estimated at $780,
100000. Farming is carried on on large
scale. Mr.. Henry of Dickinson county, Z, owns
one tract of $4,000 acres. He has one wheat
field four miles in length, the proceeds of
the standing crop of which will not be less
than $4,000. There are millions of splen-

THE birthday of the Prophet, which coin
cides with the return of the pilgrims from
Mecca, was celebrated this year at Cairo with
the traditionary doich, or passage of the
mounted imaum over the bodies of the faith
full. These, being for the most part of the
very humblest classes-camel and donkey
drivers, grooms, runners and fellahs--had
been drugged with hasheesh and excited to
religious frenzy by the attendant dervishes.
These packed them closely, face downwards
to the number of some three hundred, in a
long line on the roadway, and over this hu-
man pavement the imaum, mounted on a
white horse, rode for quarter of an hour,
amid the frantic yelling of verses of the Ko-
ran by the attendant priests.

ENGLAND is looking askance at her navy
of unwieldy monsters and asking herself if it
pays to build up fleets of ponderous armed
boats that are of no avail against the torpedo.
The effort to carry the heaviest guns under
the protection of an impenetrable armor has
resulted in the reduction of the number OF
guns, and the question is debated seriously
whether much smaller boats would not be
more effective. The introduction of the tor.
pedo has materially altered the notion o.
those who advocated the mammoth engiries
of war that now constitute the British n;ayy,
and it is very probable that the whole a.pec,
will soon be changed.
The Portland daily press., 1877-06-29

IT is now stated that the crossing of the
Danube was made, not because the plans
were fully matured, but as concession to
the Cars impatience. 1t seems to have
been in that respect an ''on to Richmond"
affair. This is remarkable state of things.
1t has been shown that during the six
months preceding the formal declaration of
war Russia was actively preparing for it.
From the grand flourish at the opening of
hostilities 1t was clear that whatever others
might think, the Gear expected to swoop
down upon Turkey and despatch her in a
trice. And yet after nine weeks of active
work, aided by the hearty cooperation of
Roumania, the army is not ready for an ad-
vance and few corps are thrown across the
rives to keep the Gar from going stark mad
at the delay. What is the meaning of all
this /?

THEY are training Red Cross nurses, both
men and women, at rapid rate, in Russia.
More than three hundred girls and women
have been selected as nurses already in st.
Petersburg. They have attended lectures,
and been trained in nursing and the dressing
of wounds. The Government gave them
certificates and sent them to the front. The
correspondent of the London Graphic says
that these Russian women nurses are fs1
superior to the male nurses, "not only in
nursing, but in temperance, energy, accur acy,
and rapidty of learning.'
