Stop Drinking Vinegar.

How many young women who have
inherited a predisposition to ernbom-
point have ruined their health by
drinking vinegar to reduce their
forms to graceful proportions. Al
lan's Anti-fat is absolutely harmless.
It promotes digestion, and accom-
plishes its work simply by prevent
ing an undue assimilation of the fat
ty ingredients of the food. Excessive
fatness Is a vexatious burden, and
there is no longer any excuse for en-
during it, since Allan's Anti-Fat is an
efectual remedy for this abnormal
condition.

special correspondence OF the JOURNAL.
BALTIMORE, Nov. q, 1873.
To-day is as disagreeable as could
wei, be imagined; constantly pour
ing rain has interfered with travel;
the streets are muddy and the cars
crowded. Last Sunday was just such
day when the Fifth Maryland Regi-
ment marched out to Greenmount to
decorate the grave of Col. S. S. Mills,
one Of their number who died a year
ago Just on the eve of his appearance
in the House of Delegates to which
he had been elected. The men had
rough time of it with the mud and
slippery clay, but carried with them
some very handsome floral tributes
with which to commemorate the death
and burial of their former comrade.
Mr.. Moody is one of the chief at
fractions in the city at present and
will be during the winter; he has had
a consultation with the Protestant
ministers who are in favor with him
as to the advisability of building him
a tabernacle in some convenient part
of the city and large enough to ac-
Commodate the immense crowds desir-
ing admittance to his meetings. 1t
was decided to let Moody continue to
hold forth in the churches and not in
cur the expense of erecting large
building especially for him, which
would afterward be comparatively
useless. He announced when he
came here that he would make no en-
gagements to preach as he desired the
time to rest and prepare new sermons,
and now he breaches twice every day
and four times on Sunday. The
tickets, which it is necessary to pro-
cure, are very hard to get on account
of the number desiring them and
the fact that they are only given out
once week to be good for every
meeting during that week. On every
Monday morning the tickets have
been given out at 10 or IL o'clock,
but the ladies come in such strong
forces and took up all the tickets
with such vim that Mr.. Moody ap-
pointed an earlier hour, thinking that
the gentlemen would stop on their
way down town and the ladies would
not be able to leave their houses so
early in the morning. But Mr..
Moody has not yet become acquainted
with the fact of what excellent house
keepers the ladies of Baltimore can
be when necessary, and how soon their
morning duties can be attended to :;
he discovered his mistake, however,
WIN the ladies came trooping up to
the church about seven in the morn
ing in perhaps larger numbers than
ever before. There was crowd of
about five thousand people to get
three thousand tickets, and when the
doors We're opened the rush may be
imagined. o, the skirts they ripped
and the feathers they flew as the fair
ones rushed up the aisle entirely dis.

CALLS ROCKING CHAIR.
NJ. X. s. NJ.

Many things we prize and treasure
That Gail used to own,
For our hearts grew sad and lonely
After we were left alone.
OH how often wn have heard her
Singing low a childish air
Sitting with her little dolly
In her little Rocking Chair.
So we love and prize and cherish
Everything she left behind.
First we found Calls picture;-
What precious thing 1t was to findD
Then we gathered up her playthings,
And the clothes she used to wear;
But among the things most cherished
Is her little Rocking Chair.
Little hands are softly folded;
Little feet forever still;-
Heavenly Father, help US bear it;
Bid us love thy holy will
Bid US learn from Calls accents,
Lisping low her evening prayer,
With her little hands all folded
Rneeling by her little Rocking Chair.
How the picture of our darling
Gently bids US weep no more;
How the brown eyes seem looking
Brightly towards "the other shore"
Thus we see her, and the ringlets
OF her shining brown hair,
Seem but moving in the twilight
In her little Rocking Chair.
So We love it, and wo keepit
In its old accustomed place,
And we fancy that she knows it
Aud tilat sunshine lights Aol lace.
Are you waiting, angel Gail
Waiting in our mansion fair?
"Will you meet us at the river"
When we leave your little Rocking
Chairp

The. Cat.

The cat is nocturnal fowl.
It is the representative American
bird. .m...,. o. ,.. .,,.,,
Its midnight mewsic never fails to
draw e1clamations. ...-' 81.
1t usually sings two together on q
root-in duet.
But they don't duett very long
within shooting range.
The cat is hunted differently from
other game. @
It tumbles quickest to soap cakes,
bootjacks and water pitchers.
A high strung cat can influence the
removal of all the bedroom movables
to The yard in a single night.
The Thomas bird is tho most per-
sistent Romeo ever experienced.
When scorned he flies into . rage.
He'll hath no fury like Thomas
cat.
The Marian feline is very coquet-
tish.
Thomas proposeth and Mariar dis
perses.
Then Thomas thinks the matter
over.
Hence Cato's soliloquy.
Which reverie is usually disturbed
by soap dish.
In quiet, cat is quiet and inno-
cent animal.
When aroused it weighs a ton and
a locomotive whistle isn't compare
son to its voice.
The cat has no wings, but it can fly
to the top Of three-story house in a
flash.
What it lacks in wings it makes
up in enterprise.
1t bristles with resources.
1t can walk wire rope, mount
greasy pole, come up smiling from
under car wheel, or climb monu-
ment if there is anything in it.
1t surpasses the carrier pigeon in its
capacity for flying home.
Take cat and anchor it in a pond
to an iron rail, and it will beat you
home just ten minutes.
Cats perform valuable service to
society.
They extract most of the profanity
from would-be sleeper, which leaves
him pure.
A cat can steal more meat and look
innocent, than any other beast of the
air.
Cats paws only in front of the nat
ural enemy, the dog fur protection.
A catamornts to nothing in COM
merce except as customer Of wrath,
and shoe brushes.
A cat never dies-it simply goes
into bankruptcy.
The end of cat is its tail.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY. Secretary Sherman avows
his belief in the effectiveness of the
measures taken for resumption an,
of his powers under the law to main
tain it, and says that he will make
full use of these powers unless other
wise directed by Congress. He does
not think that further legislation is
needed to enable him to receive legal
tenders for customs after January l,
and says that resumption at New
York means resumption all over the
country. Heis preparing greenbacks
of large denomination to take the
place of gold certificates, which will
be issued after January L. As the
-.W nc" stands he will use his option
to redeem United States notes in
either gold or silver at the New
York sub-treasury, but he states firm
ly and positively that the silver ques-
tion is not in satisfactory state. He
advises either to limit the coinage of
silver dollars, or coin such dollar as
will be equal in value to the gold dol
lar. At present the coinage of silver
dollars is too small to affect values,
but the time must come, if the present
law stands, when, if the coinage goes
on, the country will be reduced to &C.
cept the silver standard. The secre.
tary opposes making trade dollars a
legal tender, saying that the persons
who put this token bullion in circula-
tion east of the Rocky mountains did
so with full knowledge that it was
neither legal tender nor money in any
sense which the government is bound
to redeem or care for. II they should
now be made legal tender large num-
bers of them in circulation or hoard
ed in China would be thrown upon
our hands.

and everything is as quiet as the
