TAILED MEN.-From time to time stories
have been brought from certain tropical is
lands in the Pacific that there were races of
men somewhere in the unknown interior
who possessed veritable tails. But no trust
worthy traveller has yet certified TO this
statement. Iatterly tho locality of these
men with tails has been shifted in vague
rumors TO New Guinea. The announce
ments have been rarely more than a brief
sentence in some of the foreign journals,
and no authority has hitherto been given.
But at last they take more definite form.
The Rev. w. g. Lawes Of the London Miss
ionary Society acknowledges having re-
ceived "circumstautial reports" of men
with not very flexible tails" said to live
in the interior of New Guinea. The men of
science must look 10 this. 1t will never do
to let the missionaries discover the "miss-
ing link" and compel Messrs. Darwin and
Huxley to ask odds of The patrons of Exc
ter Hall.

Unless an Englishman pays GIG, or
$50, yearly rent for his house, he cannot
vote for a member of Parliament. This
dlsenfranchises very large class, large
proportion of which is composed of clergy
men and tradesmon. In fact some Is, O00,-
900 or 20, 0O0, 900 of people are unrepresent-
ed in Parliament. These facts show the
importance OF the suffrage extension move
ment now in progress.
The first of the drink registering APP
paratus, which a new law says must be
used in Virginia barrooms, has been set up
in Richmond. 1t is a wooden box about
cubic foot in size. On one side is a crank,
and on another dials like those of a gas
meter. The barkeeper turns crank once
round at every sale of drink, bell strikes
and the dial regisieres one. Though heavy
fines may be imposed for neglecting to use
the machines properly, and officers are APP
pointed to detect offenders, it is believed
that they will not answer the purpose, be-
violations of the law.
They have been having tirst-class
scare at Pekin, China, during the last Win
ter, just as unreasonable, but just as real
and just as intense as the mad dog excite
ment which has prevailed in some Ameri-
can cities. 1t was owing 10 "tail-cutting
epidemic" or the operations OF wicked per-
sons who despoil the Celestials of their
queues, and charms have had a great sale,
while many of the people have become
afraid to go out of doors. Chinaman ba-
lieves that when his tail is cut off he will
die within three days, and several deaths
are said to have actually occurred. Imagi
nation is equally powerful whether brought
to bear on cut queue or a dog bite, aud
seems to operate a good deal alike in heath
en- and Christian.

III these days OF snowy advertising post
ers, the public can hardly judge of the COM
parative merit of any particular circus,
from the picturesque representations pasted
on the walls in different parts of the city.
From our exchanges and from other relia-
BILE sources, we are led TO predict that all
will agree that no enterprise of equal mag
nitude has ever made the tour Of the Unit
ed States. This vast menagerie with It's
many rare specimens of wild animals from
every part Of the world, and its magnificent
complement of horses and brilliant compa-
ny of riders and acrobats, is TO show here
on Friday, June 22d.
The management have combined no less
than six powerful and successful circuses
and menageries in this vast carayansary of
men and horses and wild animals, and with
a supporting band of music sufficient al
most for whole army. This will be the
greatest show Of the year--a regular CEN
tennial Of circus.
The Every Evening and Commercial, the
leading newspaper of Delaware, says of the
performances of John o. Brien's Six Shows,
given in Wilmington -
The performances given in this city yes
terday by John O'Bren's Circus were well
attended aud gave every satisfaction. The
acts were all new, and performed with such
accuracy as TO elicit the warmest applause.
The clowns were original and decorous,
the gymnasts iaultless, the horses in good
trim, and the costumes and everything
about the show had that fresh and neat APP
pearance which adds TO the comfort Of
performance OF any kind. A feature of the
circus Is the display of wild animals which
is superior 10 any that has been witnessed
here for some time. Mr.. O. Brien shows in
Smyrna to-day, and to the people of the
Peninsular we can recommend his cireus,
and his agents as what they are represent
ed

HISsDALE, n. H., June @, 1877.



1t has come to our notice that Mr. JonT Com and
Mr. s. NJ WAITE have issued and issuing circulars
in effect cautOning persons against buying or using
machines. We cannot discuss in short circular
the validity Of Mr.. Cores patent. But we desire to
say to all who like our Moving Machine, and who de-
sire purchase one that will guarantee them in
ages by Of violation Of the United States patent
laws.
II Messrs. Gore and Waite have any claims for in
frngement Of patents we frankly say to them that
we hold ourselves responsible for the same, to be
tried before the courts In manly way; that We are
manufacturer and propose to protect those who pur
chase OF us. We do not consider 1t manly to issue
circulars TO brighten purchasers who are ignorant Of
the patent laws, and We propose to stand by our Gus
TONERS. We do not propose TO violate the rights OF
anybody, neither do we propose TO have our own
rights violated.
We have been manufacturing moving machines for
the last fifteen years We have lived on terms OF re-
cprocity and good feeling with our brother mAnufae-
turers In the same line during all this time. We take
pride in saying that the largest manufacturers in the
country have shown themselves TO be our friends and
when they wished TO acquire right In our Inventions
have come promptly forward and paid us for the
same and we feel confidence In saying that we have
never violated the confidence good feeling of our
brother manufacturers.
We are certain that all our customers among the
farmers ready TO say good word for as to the
performance of our machines in the field.
We, therefore, are ready to meet any Legitimate
prosecution in the courts for alleged infringement OF
patents.
Yours respectfully,
NEwHALL STEBBINs.

Regular Secretion Essential to Health.

The regular secretion and now Of the gastric juices
and of the bile which the Of Hosteters Stomach
Bitters promotes, effects which conduee material
y to the restoration OF health, when the system is
disordered. Food is not digested in the dyFpeptc
stomach because the gastric juice is deficient super
abundant rvitated the liver becomes congested aud
the bowels constpaed because the supply Of bile is
inadequate misdrected. The Bitters rectines all
this, and removes every i'll consequence Of non-asBm
iAtion and bilious irregulATity. Furthermore, 1t
stimulates the action Of the kidneys by which impuri
ties are to speak, strained from the blood, and any
tendency in the urinary organs to grow sluggish and
dsordered counteracted. Whether II be used a
means of regulating gastric bilious secretion, and
relieving the overloaded bowels, or to promote COM
pete and therefore healthful urnation, Hostetters
Biters may be relied upon with confidence to accom-
plish the end in view.

familiar with the construction Of the machines
Manufactured by your firm, at Hinsdale, n. H.. Some
time since purchased interest in the NewhAll
patents which led me TO careful investigation Of the
Hewhan machine and the inventions therein con-
tanned have carefully examined the re-issued pat
ent granted John Gore, aforesaid, and while have
great respect and admiration for the talent aud inse
nuty displayed by my friend, Z. $. Renwick Of New
York in this case, in all others, must say that
these claims so far your machine is concerned,
cannot be maintained and my advice to you, both as
a solicitor Of patents aud manufacturer of moving
machines is to issue circular to every person who
wishes to buy OF your machines stating that you
will guarantee them against any and all damages
which they may incur by Of any violation OF
the patented rights Of Mr.. John Gore or Mr. $. NJ
Waite.
The circular you sent me headed New England
Mower fails to state that the date Of the reissue No
6640, was Sept, 1878. Even allowing the absurd po.
son that this REISSUE is tenable one there can be
no pretence OF any claim against You your custom
for the violation Of the Gore patent except for the
year 1876, and thereafter.
Yours respectfully,
