 his SarsapariHatis combination of vegetable alteratives - Stillingia, Man drake, Yellow Dock - with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efhcacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure.
 Its ingredients are so skilfully com bined, that the full alternative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still soeffectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease.
 The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians all over the coun- try repoae in it, prove their experience of its usefulness. s-
 Certificates attesting it's virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as many of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sar- saparilla over every other alterative medicine. So generally is its superi- ority to any other medicine known, that we need do no more than to assure the public that the best qualities it has ever possessed are strictly maintained.

The proprietor of an office on Griswold street was approached the otheE day by an em- barrassed and annoyed citizen, who asked: ''It isn't in your line, know, but can you tell me who discovered America?" ''Why, Chris topher Columbus, of course, was the answer. That's the chap that's the identical man." continued the other. 'Pve been trying for more than four hours to remember the name but couldn't fetch it. could get Christo- pher Cooper, and Christopher Cumback, and Christopher Collins, but couldn't think of Christopher Columbus I'll write it down on the spot. Over on Larned street this morning got into political discussion with an insur- ance man, and he wrenched me all to pieces just because couldn't think of Christopher Columbus's name when wanted to.

HUNTING GIRAFFRS.-Giraffes if not hard pressed, do not go at any very great pace, so that before long we were within 1OO yards of them. Even in the ariorof the chase, it struck me as 6 glorious sight to see these huge beasts dasting along in front, clattering over the stones or bursting passage through opposing bushes, their long graceful necks stretched for ward, sometimes bent almost to the ground to avoid horizontal branches, and their bushy black tails twisted up. And how easily and with what little exertion they seemed to get over the ground with that long sweeping stride of theirsl Yet they were going at a great rate, for felt that my old nag was doing his best, andT could not now lessen the distance between us by an inch. I now saw that D. was about to make push, and, as the horse he was riding was pretty fast, I knew that he would press them into much quicker pace and leave me behind altogether; so, refining up at once, l jumped of and, taking as steady an aim as my arm, tired with f0gging, would allow, fired at large dark -cOlored COW that looked, to me, in good condition. The bullet elapped loudly, and saw herstagger, bun, recovering inmed ediately, she went on, though slightly in the rear Of the troop. At this moment my friend jumped of close behind them, and gave another COW Q shot. I was now long way behind, but my horse, though slow, possessed good staying powers; 90 that, by dint of keeping on at a hard gall0p and cutting angles when could, again crept up and gave my COW another shot, quickly followed by third, which brought her to the ground with crash. She was not yet dead, however, for as approached, she rear ed her lofty head once more, and gaZed re- proachfully at me with her large, soft, dark eyes. A pang of remorse went through me-
 and for an instant wished the shots unfred that had laid low this beautiful and inoffensive creature But now the criesof my Kaffirs and Masaras, following like famished wolves on the blood spoor, broke upon my ear so, stifiing the still small voice, again raised my rifle and put an end to the miseries of my victim, whose head, pierced with a two-ounce ball, fell with a thud upon the ground, never to be raised again. Leaving some of the boys to cut up the meat, I rode on with the rest to look for my friend, whom found beside another pros trate giraffe which he had killed little further on. As the one had shot was the fatter of the two, we left the Kaffirs here and went back to mine! It was now late; so, hastily dividing the boys into two parties, and bidding them sleep by the two giraffes respectively, and cut them up and bring in the meat on the follow
 ing day. we starred for the wagons with oul gun-carriers, who also carried few of the fat
 test bits of meat. 1 may here remark that il is difficult to imagine anything more tasty and succulent than a steak of young giraffe COW, when in good condition, though it may be that hunger, the sauce with which have always eaten it, has eQRaothing to do with this opin

The Chicago Legal News says of Mrs. J. Ellen Foster who recently argued an appeal in an evcise case before the Supreme Court of Iowa:
 "Her argument was listened to by large number of the members of the bar and other citizens The District Court adjourned for the special purpose of allowing the attorneys to hear her argument. It is spoken highly of i; she is an able and eloquent speaker. Ten years ago there was not Supreme Court in the United States where awoman'svoice could be eeard to-day there are twelve. In ten years more the woman lawyer will stand upon an equality with the man in every court in the land"
 Rev. Carlos Martyr, in the Christian Intelli- geneer, writing on City Churches, ? says they do not keep pace with the growing population and are finding it more and more difficult to maintain themselves. s'Hah dozen churches in New York and about as many in Brooklyn are strong and fQrehanded. The rest stand cap in hand and beg leave to be-" The chief difficulty, he thinks, is that there are too many Protestant Cathedrals" and too few churches for the middle classes; The pew rent is so to them.
 Melville Clarke, "a gentleman pauper, lately sentenced to seven days hard labor in England for neglecting to performs a task of breaking stones at a workhouse, served with much dis tinction during the Indian mutiny with the Meerut Light Horse, receiving the medal and letter of thanks from the Government. He was afterwaFds in the Nineteenth Hussars, of which regiment he was senior captain when he retired some seven years ago, which fact prob ably out of respect for his old corps, he did not mention at the police court.
 What this country yearns for now is great forger or defaulter, who isn't pillar of tie church and Sabbath school, who doesn't be- leng to the best society, who isn't eminently, over whose c0fzviotion the court and the pulpit will not weep waudlin tears-in short, sin ner who is actually wicked, at least in spots. We are getting sick of having to send so many saints of society to the penitentiary.

Punctuation Puzzle.

The following article forcibly
illustrates the necessity of pune
tuation. 1t can be read in two
ways, making it very bad man
or a very good man, the result
depending upon the manner in
which it is punctuated. 1t is
we'll worthy the study of teach
ers and pupils:
''He is an old and experienced
man in vice and wickedness he
is never found in opposing the
works of iniquity he takes de-
light in the downfall of his
neighbors he never rejoices in
the prosperity of any of his
fellow creatures he is always
ready to assist in destroying
the peace Of society he takes no
pleasure in serving the Lord he
is uncommonly diligent in show
ing dIscord among his 1rlendS
and acquaintances he takes 70
pride in laboring to promote
the cause of Christianity he has
not been negligent in endeav-
oring to stigmatize all public
teachers he makes no effort to
subdue his evil passions he
strives hard to build up Satan's
kingdom he lends no aid to the
support of the Gospel among
the heathen he contributes large
ly to the evil adversary he pays
no attention to good advice he
pays great heed 10 the devil he
will never go to heaven he must
go where he will receive the
just recompense of reward"
