An idea of the tremendous fall of real
estate in New York is furnished by the
following item from the Tribune
"rhe industrial exhibition company

tween Ninety-Ninth and One. Hundred
and Third streets and Third and Fourth
avenues, for the purpose of establishing
an industrial exhibition. The price
paid was 81, ZOO, 1000. The scheme was
not successful, and the land, which had
been divided into lots, has been sold
under foreclosure by several insurance
companies holding mortgages upon it.
The sum realized was 800, GOO. The
former mangerof the exhibition company
states that, soon after the purchase OF
the property, the company was offered

THOSE two young men of Eastville,
Va, should have a monument with a
big pair of crossed pistols at the top.
Their duel may said to have been a really
satisfactory affair. Mr.. Pitts was killed
and Mr.. Thomas was mortally wounded
There can be no duel in which one or
the other mar does not have some ad-
vantage, and when both parties are
slaughtered, the fight always seems to be
a fair one. 1t is a pity, perhaps, that the
code does not compel duelists to fight
with their pistols against their hearts
This method, or that of the Quaker,
which is to go out and eat green fruit
until n curl up and quit, should by all
means supercede the present m OF
dueling.-- Courier-Journal.

At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since,
the Jewels of the Crown were locked in a
box, that box in another, and so on, until
they were supposed to be burglar. proof.
They were then locked up in the vault Of
the castle, there to remain fer one hundred
years, the keys being placed in a mortar and
fired into the sea. Scarce fifty years passed
by, and the modern lock.picker opens the
vault and boxes without trouble. So the
science of medicine, when studied with the
aid of chemistry and the microscope, be-
comes plain and simple, and diseases that
were regarded incurable a generation ago,
now readily yield to remedies employed by
the modern and progressive physician. A
decade Of years since, and women were
taught to believe that their peculiar diseases
and weaknesses were incurable but now
hundreds and thousands Of once bedlidden
women in the United States will testify to
the fact that DR.. Pierce's FavOrite Prescrip.
ton has effected their perfect and permanent
cure.

Dear Sir-About five years since my wife

best physicians in our city, yet she gradually
grew worse, so that she was confined to the
