The Ph ysiOlOgy Of the Liver.

The liver Is the largest secreting organ In
The human body, alsl the bile which it secretes
is more liable to vtiation and misdirection
from its proper channels than any other OF the
animal fluids. Luckily for the bilious, how
ever, there is an unfailing source OF reliei
from liver complaint, namely, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, medicine which for over
a quarter OF century has been achieving
thorough cures of the above mentioned all
merits, fever and ague, dyspepsia, bowel COM
plants, rheumatic and kidney affections. and
disorders involving loss of nervous vigor 1t
is, moreover, "a preventive of malarial disease.
and affords protection to thousands of persons
residing in districts of country whern that dire
scourgc Is prevalent. As a remedy adapted
to the medicinal requirement Of families, it is
supremely desirable, and as means Of Orti-
Tying debilitated system it is thoroughly to
be depended upon.

A New Episcopal Church.

A correspondent t, the Milford Nems

no doubt after few years, become

Pile in the town, formerly strangers in
this method of worship, are now quite

unlikely that several families, hereto

with the congregation at St. Johns;
and if they do, the success and pros

beyond all hazards.
sudden Illness.
About an hour before the time for
church service to commence last night
Rev. J. b. Mann had such sudden
and severe attack Of neuralgia and
chils that he could not leave his resi-
drnce to fill his appointment at the
Union NJ. L. church. President Wilson,
of the Wesleyan Female College was
hastily called to fiji the pulpit, and he
promptly responded, preaching an ex-
cellent sermon from these words: Lord

thou hast the words for eternal life"

the Moral Suasion Reform Association
delivered very forcible and eloquent
Temperance address, which was listen

about three quarters of an hour.
There was nothing imaginative about
Mr.. Guthrie's address, for he had trOd

and spoke from personal experience.

Too Much Prayer.

Information comes to us Of step
mother in the eastern part of the city
who took her little step-son from the
CEildren's Home, and because he could
not say his prayers correctly, she boxed
his ears repeatedly and would keep
him on his knees an hour at a time.
The boy was said TO BE- a good one, but
the step mother seemed to have such
al antipathy to him that he had to be
sent back to the HOme again.

A Prom Using Regatta.

The regatta Of the Metropolitan Associa-
ton of Amateur Oarsmen, to be held at
Pleasant Valley, on the Hudson River, on
Wednesday, August %, will be one of the
most interesting boating events of the sea-
son. The races of the Metropolitan Asso-
citation are always well arranged and fairly
contested, and the officers of the association
are energetic in their efforts to satisfy the
contestants and crafty the public. The
rules adopted are such as are fit to govern
an amateur association whose object is fair,
manly sport. Any protests against contest
ants are referred to committee, and An
impartial judicial hearing is allowed. AS the
Qualification Committee is composed of
Judge Gildersleeve, General Shaler, Com
modore Dickerson and Messrs. l.. C. Bruce
and E. A. Buck, the hearing is certain to be
full and fair and the judgment correct.
The regatta will be made especially in
teresting by the presence of the victorious
Columbia crew and perhaps of the famous
Shoe-wae-cae-mettes. Why cannot race
between these crews be arranged for the
occasion? e,f .hata

. We hear rumors in some political circles
that Mayor Ely is willing candidate for
denomination to the Mayoralty. Other re-
ports, however. assert that he is candidate
for Congress; and yet others deny both the
foregoing and assert that Mr.. Ely is a candi-
date for q journey to Europe. with the
object Of resting and recuperating from his
labors Mt the City Hall.
These various rumors excite our curios-
ity. We have always liked Mr.. Ely. He
was nominated for the Office two years ago
by the HxRALD, and he has made, az we then
foretold, good Mayor 1t is said some
times that he has not been as strong a
Mayor as was desirable, and about
this we will not dispute but taking
Mayors of New York "by and large"
as they have run for twenty years past, no
one can deny that he has made good
average Mayor. If he is really candidate
for denomination the HERALD will not ops
pose him; indeed we should be willing in
that case to withdraw the names we have
suggested We are certain that the HERALDs
candidates will keep. They are all in good
health and in the primo of life, and they
will only gain in public favor by delay.
But it occurs to US that Mr.. Ely's preten-
sions TO a denomination may be mere preten-
sions; that he does not mean to run again
and that he allows these rnmors to circulate
mainly to keep the real candidate con-
cealed-to keep the little joker out Of sight
until the last moment. We should regret
this; and so would Mr.. Ely by and by. Will
not Mr.. Kelly take the public into his con-
fdence? 1t would help him with the peo-
pie; it would strengthen him everywhere if
he would let his candidate be known. We
have no manner Of doubt that he is good
one; but why not trot him out and let us all
have look at him?

to be the seat of the disorder, and these
organs, when examined, showed that the
fish had been eating bugs, in the undigested
interior Of which pests Paris green was
found. 1t is argued that the bugs were con-
veyed to the water by the many and violent
rains which have fallen of late, these hav-
ing washed the insects from plants and the
ground, particularly the Inter. Much of
the poison itself may thus have been con-
veyed to the water without the agency
of the bugs. If this theory is as
correct as it is plausible there should be no
time lost in devising some new plan of saw
ing the potatoes. The economic impor-
tance of food fishes is beginning to be un-
derstood, and both consumers and sports
men will protest against any method of
producing one variety of food by the
destruction of another. And the question
has still graver side. If Paris green is
used freely enough to poison water SO as to
kill fish it must also endanger human health
and life in the many cities and towns whose
water supply comes from lakes and streams
which are bordered by agricultural COM
munities.

The activity OF some Of our revenue OFF,
Gals has of late been greatly augmented,
particularly at Newport, where the letter
of law, advised or ill-advised, is
strictly enforced by the commander of the
revenue cutter stationed there. Woe betide
the yacht appearing in that port If her
name upon her stern is not accompanied
by the name of the State from which she
halls, for dire will be the penalty which the
ever-vigilant revenue official will infiict
upon her owner or captain. The mas
tiers of yachts being known to DO
uniformly of desperate character, and
teeming with horrible intentions tow
ard life and property, besides hailing
from Jersey City, Brooklyn and other dis
tant sinks Of disease and crime, and their
vessels being generally enormous, with gun
decks provided with terrible armaments and
magazines crammed with ammunition of
the most destructive description, to say
nothing of the formidable torpedo-crane
which every wooden yacht carries at it's
bow, the government cannot DO too watchful
for the safety of its unprotected seaports.
In view Of the darkly mysterious propensity
of these dangerous craft TO sail in squad

larly before towns famed for beauty and
booty, would il not be we'll for Congress to

Other Good Cand ida tes.

We hope Mr.. Kelly, the Star and the pub
lie will not misunderstood us on this
Mayoralty question. We are not bigoted.
Because we have named three gentlemen
whom everybody acknowledges to be pre-
eminently fit for the Mayoralty we are not,
therefore, to be understood as opposing
others. The HERALD has not the slightest
objection to Mr.. Hastings, of the
Commercial Advertiser; Mr.. Bundy, of
the Mai, or Mr.. Stone, of the Journal Of
Commences. On the contrary, we willingly
acknowledge the great merits of these gen.
tlemen /; we rejoice that the Star puts them
in nomination, and it is source Of real
satisfaction to us that the HERALD has been
able in so brief space of time to arouse
the slumbering attention of its contempora-
ries to the importance of the Mayoralty. If
there are yet other citizens eminently fit
for the Office, as fortunately there are, we
hope to see them named in yet other quar-
tors.
One object is gained, and it is gratifica-
ton to US to have been able to accomplish
it SO soon. In the face of the excellent men
who have been named by the HERALD and
other journals within few days for the
Mayoralty it will hardly do for either polit-
ical party now to come out with fourth rate
politician as a candidate for the place. That
would be to disgust the public and make the
nominators ridiculous.

The predicted eclipse of the moon oc-
CURED last night, beginning and ending
with degree OF punctuality which should
forever set at rest all base reports that
promptness is not feminine virtue.
Whether or no Luna knew she was to be
eclipsed is question for scientists to de-
eide, but from the radiance Of that portion
Of her face which was not hidden it is safe
to assume that she had not been informed
of Mother Earth's intentions, and where
ignorance is beauty as we'll as bliss it is
doubly folly to be wise. The bright partic-
ular divinity Of lovers and illicit distillers
has SO many unpleasant things to
look upon during her evening prom
enades that it would seem natural
for her to make the most of any
shadow which might come between her and
them; but she is as alert as she is radiant,
and last night she seemed to imagine that
shadows, even at their greatest, were made
only to peep across. There may be those
who will insist that this was owing entirely
to feminine curiosity, but such slanderers
do not know our moon, who has seen the
world too often to be curious about any
thing. It is gratifying to know that the
reigning beauty's faithful male attendant,
commonly known as the Man in the Moon,
was deservedly cast in the shade for an
hour or two, for his countenance and toilet
signally fail to comply with the reasonable
demands of good society. Like attracts
like, and SO many Of the doings of New
York are mere moonshine that it is not won
derful that such light as the jealous earth
allowed fell brightly upon this city,
the radiance being seemingly greatest di-
rectly over the City Hall.
