Death In His Favorite Robe,

The mortuary statistics of the whole civil
lied world show that about one fifth OF all
mankind die of consumption alone. aud the
number of deaths due to consumption bears q
greater ratio to the whole number than that of
any other three diseases together. Moreover
investigation proves that this ratio is steadily
increasing. Its increasing prevalence has led
to the popular belief that consumption is in
durable. Every year hundreds of these suffer

the dry atmosphere of Colorado for health
and find only grave. The influence Of the
atmosphere-the only remedial agent that
either Florida or Colorado can afford the con-
sumptive-is at best only pdladtiue The cure
Of consumption depends upon two essential
conditions LIST, the arrest of the abnormal
breaking down of the tissues, which prevents
emaclatlon, and, I'd, the restoration of healthy
nutrition, IN order to stop the formation Of
tuberculous matter. Fulfill these conditions,
and consumption is as durable as fever. To
fulfill these conditions the required remedy
must Increase the appetite, favor the assimila-
ton of food, and enrich the blood. thus 1e-
tardlng the development of tubcrcles. To ac-
compllsh this, more powerful Alternative than
DIR. PIerce's Golden Medical Discovery has
never been discovered. At the same time, it
soothes the irritation of the nervous system
produced by violent coughing, which, in its
turn, so often leads to more serious results.
The use of " expectorants" in consumption is
absolutely suicidal. For, while removing tie
tubercles already formed, they produce yet
more serious results by infaming and DESTROY
ing the sound and healthy tissues Consum1o-
ton requires a remedy that VIII soothe while it
relieves harsh medicines but add fuel to the
flame that already threatens to consume the
system. The Golden Medical Discovery fulfilIs
these conditions, and has been pronounced the
best remedy yet discovered to allay and arrest
consumption.

American MilIiOnaires i'm Paris.

An American millionaire, mir MacIey.
has opened the dancing season in one of
the most beautiful mansions in Paris.
with reception that took the proper
tons of a court ball. The fact makes
the mOralists who send letters across the
channel rather uncomfortable. One of
them is surprised to see with what a rage
the French now throw themselves into
the vortex OF American society. A few
years ago it was necessary for even the
richest American to be patronized by a
noted person of high French society,
who sent out the invitations, and who
presented most and guests to each other.
Then the guests almost felt they were
honorlng the nan whose champagne
they drank. Now, however, all is
changed, and King Dollar has asserted
his undoubted sway over Paris. The
Oldest coat of-arms and the fairest of
French lilies bow to him, as soon as he
appears. He has no longer to seek in
PRODUCTIONS, everyone seeks to be intrs-
duced to him. He has no longer need
OF chaperon to issue invitations; the
post brings him daily perfumed, coron-
eted blllets, asking for the favor of an
lnV1taflon to his next reception. There
is consolation, however, for the British
moralist. Americans are declared to be
"lnnately English" though they will
not confess it. Hence it is that the
American millionaires in Paris adopt the
English style of housekeeping, and we
have English servants, English gray
livery, English cooking and English
clothes. Ii they are initiated in eYery-
thing, as the moralst suggests. the
Americans are obviously doing Great
Britain good turn by introducing and
sanctioning English modes.-NeaD York

Turkish Talnr.

| The European and Christian races
everywhere, the races which account
themselves the greatest, wisest and
bravest of the earth, have watched with
amazement the spectacle of invalid and
semi-barbarous Turkey contending on
even terms with gigantic and organized
Russia
At the outbreak of this struggle the
civilized world supposed that it would
be pltlably unequal; that, without the
assistance of some one of the "great
powers, the Moslems would be crushed
IN single campaign; that the advance

more than triumphal promenade. It
was commonly supposed that the superb

intelligence and education at least
equaled her advantage in wealth and
numbers. 1t had come to be an accept
ed credence, almost equivalent to mill
| tary maxim, that Asiatic and semi
| Asiatlc troops could not stand before
Europeans.
We have seen enough during the sum-
mer of 1877 to lead us to question all
these beliefs. Whatever may be the
termination Of the contest, the Turkish
Generals have shown formidable ca
pacity. and the Turkish soldiers have
exhibited heroic courage. They have
not only defended intrenchments with
their historic tenaeity, but they have as
saulted them with impetuosity, and
sometimes with success. Embodied.

The Tax on Cigars.

The Ways and Means Committee will
soon give large importers of Havana ci
CARS hearing IN reference to amending
the tariff on imported cigars. These
gentlemen viii make some important
suggestions upon this subject. They
VIII propose two plans to promote i'm
portat1on OF cigars OF the best brands
One OF them is q uniform duty OF So. 80
per pound, which, being a large taxation.
Will have the effect to increase the i'm.
portatlon OF the first-class and keep ont
common cigars. Ninety per cent. of the
HaTfna cigars now imported are of in
tenor brands, and only 10 per cent. first
class. Common brands pay now S37. 25
per GOO duty, and first-class S55 per
I,000, or an average duty of $40. 121 per
1,oCo- If simple reduction of 25 Der
cent. ad valorem duty be made. none but
hrst-class cigars would be imported and
pay duty of $3.50 per l 200. AS their
average weight would be IA pounds per
l,Ooo, the increase Of importations would
exceed the present receipts at least 25
Per cent, while the actual reduction
would only be about s. per L 200. This
outy would give the same protection that
manufacturers of Havana cigars in the
united States now have, under existing
unties. Another proposition is to make
a uniform tariff of 81. so on all Havana
cigars imported. At this rate cigars
would pay about 81 per l goo duty
Inns late would still leave margin in
i&Vof o. manufacturers of Havana CIGARS
Ia the United States of about sI2. 25 per
I,Ooo. The actual duty of 35 cents Der
pound on leaf tobacco would be reduced
TO 70 cents per pound, because, with fine
imported cigars at lower piices. cigars
made IN the United States. of Havana
tobacco, would be sold cheaper and their
consumption would be largely increased
