Miss Clara Louise Kellogg.

Preceding Miss Kellogg's concerts
the newspapers TEEN with favorable
notices, extracts from the press, and
testimonials from the late President
Lincoln and others. reminding people
of the power Of voice possessed by one
Of Americas sweetest singers. If your
confidence be secured by such adver-
tisements, why shake the head
and doubt while reading the testimonials
of positive cures effected by DR.. Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription? 1t is nonsense
for ladies afflicted with the diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to their sex to
continue to suffer, or to submit to the
harsh and caustic treatment now in

PROMPT Reform Of Bodily Evils.

The prompt reform of those bodily evils en-
feebled digestion, incomplete assimilation, mac
tvity of the liver, kidneys and bladder as well as
of the nervous symptoms which these ailments
are especially prone to beget, is always accomp-
lIshed by the use of Hostetters Stomach Bitters
a medicine accredited by physicians, pronounced
pure by analysts, and eminenty wholesome and
agreeable. Surely such restorative is prefer
able to Unpalatable and indigestible mineral
drugs and unssnctiOncd nOStrums. The nation
at large aSsuredly think judging by the unpre-
cedented demand for the article from Maine to
the Pacific, demand now supplemented by i'm
mense orders Tor il received from tropical Amer
lea, Mexico, the British and Spanish Colonial
possessions and elsewhere. Both at home and
abroad it is recognized as 4 standard remedy and
preventive, the decisiveuess Of its effects RECON-
mendtng il everywhere.

IN THE NEST.

Gather them close to your loving heart
Grad them on your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brOOding care,
Soon enough mount YOUTHS tOpmOst stair
Little ones in the nest.
Fret not that the childTen's hearts are gay
That their restless feet Will run;
There NAV come time in the by-and-by,
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound of childish fun;
When you'll long for a repetition sweet
That sounded through each room,
OF : Mother, y Mother" the dear loYe.c@lls
That will echo fong in the silent halls
And add to their silent gloom.
There may come time when yOu'il lCng TO hear
The eager, bOyish tread,
The tuneless whistle, the clear, shrill shout,
The busy busJlG in and out,
And patIering overhead.
When the boys and girls are all grown up,
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone TO the undiscovered shore,
Where youth and age come neveTm0re,
You VIII miss them from your side
Then gather them close to your loving heart.
Cradle them on Your breast;
They will soon enough leave your br0Oding care,
Soon enough mount youths tOpmost STAIR

THE PRICE OF OUININE.
Causes Leading to Rise in lis Value
Large Order in England for the
Russians
New York Times.

New OFk Times
The price Of sulphate of quinine has
been steadily advancing for some time
past, and is higher now than it has be-
fore been in this country since the war
OF the rebellion ended. The advance
has, however, not been caused, as
rumor has affirmed, by the Russians
sweeping the market. 4 story fioated
about here that the emissaries of the
car bought in one lot 100000 ounces
from two Philadelphia firms, the lead
ing manufacturers in this country. 1t
was absurd. They could not have got
in the United States any such quantity
Our manufa ;turers do not make enough
for our own consumption, and we con-
stantly import largely from Europe, es-
pecially from England The only large
transaction in quinine reported since
the commencement OF the Russo-Turk-
ish war was sale of $4,000 ounces in
London, on August Sd, to the Russians
That sale was, at the time, private, and
was only recently made known here.
The manufacturers price per ounce fol
sulphate quinine, which, in 1876, was
only $3.50, went up to S2.90in the early
paw VI 4O' , o1Oou IIII 1T tIldt uulIl
June last, when it went to IS so, is now
raised to $3.50, with indications of an
other speedy raise, and there are those
connected with the wholesale drug bust
ness who aver that it will reach s. be-
fore there is any retrograde movement,
This cause Of the rise is said to be the
falling off in the supply of bark, owing
to wars between the South American
tribes of Indians who are the principal
gatherers of what we employ. They
have shipped no bark for eight or nine
months. The English enjoy more
stable supply since the cultivation of
the bark has been introduced success
fully in India, and also get better ar
ticle than the wild bark of South Amer
lea.

Lovely. ifTrue.

\ young lady living in San Francisco
exhibited to a reporter an unusual and
very interesting little pet. 1t was a
humming bird of most petite form and
brilliant plumage, in a fancy cage of
acknowledgements and cunningly-fash-
toned lace. It was "as pretty as q
picture" The bird fell from It's nest
when too young to fly, and so was
easily caught. She nmsed it for a week,
feeding it every halfhour during the
day. Taking little vial, such as is
used for homeopathic gobules, from
her pocket, and explaining that it was
filled with thick syrup made by disolv-
ing loaf sugar in a little water, she drew
the cork and presented it to the manikin
bird, which Immediately inserted its
slender bill, almost as long as its little
body, and slipped away as ccntentedly
as could be, taking in all perhaps two
drOps.

Drunken Sfmff.

How many children and women are
slowly and surely dying, or rather
being killed, by excessive doctoring, or
the daily use Of some drug or drunken
stuff called medicine, that no one
knows what it is made of, who can
easily be cured and saved by Hop Bit
ters, made of Hops, Buchu, Mandrake,
Dandelion, &C., which is so pure, sim
pie and harmless that the most frail
woman, weakest invalid or smallest
child can trust in them. VIII you be
saved by them? See other column.

A Bull in a Bedroom.

A bull is as troublesome visitor in a
lady's chamber as in a china shop. A
fortnight ago such an animal took
fright in the streets of Liverpool, and,
apparently escaping from his pursuer8,
entered the back door yard of a house
in Falkland street, owned and occupied
by John Jones. He got into the
kitchen first Of all. and finding nobody
there went up stairs to the front bed
room, where Mrs Jones was dressing.
The anything but sylph-like tread of
the visitor Oh the stairs naturally at
tracted the attention of the hostess, and
she, going to the door, was much
alarmed at the awkward sight. Toilet
operations were at once suspended, and
Mrs. Jones managed to slip out Of the
room, and 60 for assistance. The bull,
thrown upon his own resources, amused
himself by upsetting the furniture and
scattering toilet ware to the four cor
ners of the room. Assistance was rem
dered by a police constable, who Sc
cured the bull by a rope and dragged
him down stairs to the street.

There Ia quite general belief in the Western
country that radical changes have taken place In
cultivation. Mr.. marlborough adds his testi-
mony To this belief from observations made by
him in Australia, and mentions some OF the
ways in which this change has been brought
about, The ppaires Of The West and tho plains
OF Australia possessed no trees, except on the
wateroourses not because the soil would not
produce them, but because the dry grass taking
lire would destroy everything like tree or shi ub
which might take root theie. In Australia tho
intfodueMon OF sbeep-fsrming. which. was The
first industry. resulted in preventing these fires
by keeping tho berbsRe closely cropped and
where before there were no trees there are now
large forests. The influence Of forests upon the
equalization Of the rsinfall has long been noted,
disastrous floods following the clearing of Of tho
timber, and arid wastes being reclaimed when
trees have commenced to multiply.
