Is an easy stage in cases of dyspepsia. A
slight attack of indigestion, especially
when there is predisposition to digestive
weakness of the stomach, must speedily
eliminate in the more obstinate form of
the disease. 1t is well, therefore, to adopt
preventive measures early. Although Hos

use 1t ere the malady assumes chronic
phase. This is particularly true, because
as dyspepsia advances, it engenders other
bodily evils, such as disorder of the liver,
constipation or undue looseness of the
bowels, nervous disorders, hypochondria,
sleeplessness. These maladies are both
prevented and remedied by the Bltters, but
how much better to check them in their

After the battle of the Aspern, Bona
parte detached force of nearly forty
thousand men, under the command Of
General Lafebvre, to subjugate the ry-
rolese. who, headed by the brave and
enterprising Andrew Hofer, had opposed
desperate resistance to all their at
tacks. The account of the expedition,
as related by Saxon Major, who
escaped from the destruction of those
terrible days, presents one of the most
striking instances of national and indi-
vidual heroism that history records

Beecher Appears at Home.

The New York San tells how Henry
Ward Beecher was received on his first
Sunday after his return: An immense
congregation visited Mr.. Beecher on his
first public appearance yesterday after
his return from California. Every
thing in the church looked new, the
carpets were fresh from the warehouse,
the pews were redolent with oil and
varnish, and Assistant Pastor Halli-
days clothes seemed never to have been
worn before. The platform was almost
hidden beneath its load of rare flowers,
but there were, apparently, not enough
to satisfy the liberal tastes of Mr.. Hal
liday, for just before Mr.. Beecher ap-
peared he carried up another large vase
OF roses, lilies, and creepers, and placed
1t upon the little Mount of Olives ta-
BILE. Mr.. Beecher entered hastily, and as
he stepped upon the platform murmur
OF interest and pleasure ran through the
great throng; but the pastor was I'M
moved. He may have been a little
fatter, and his clothes were decidedly
shabbier than when he started for Cal
ifornia in any other particular it would
have required an exceedingly close OBJ
server to discover the slightest change
in his appearance. Mr.. Camp, the
leader of the choir, waved his hand,
and the whole congregation arose and
sang the doxology, the words Praise
God from whom all blessings flow F"
ringing through the church. Mr..
Beecher sat seemingly undisturbed.
Ills face bore stern and thoughtful ex-
preston, but the extraordinary warmth
OF his reception did not seem to affect
him in the least. 9

youth lying wounded. Raising himself
upon his elbow, he looked at the Duke,
when the latter thus addressed one of
his officers, who afterwards became a
more distinguished commander than
himself: Wolfe, shoot me that High
land scoundrel who thus dares to look on
us with so insolent stare" Wolfe re-
piled that his commission was at his

A PLEASANT little anecdote of the
Crown Prince of Germany is told by
Mrs. Hooper. 1t was at the beginning
OF the Franco-Prussian war that the
King and Prince passed through HON.
burg on their way to the field. A young
American girl, staying with her parents
at one of the hotels, hung large Ameri-
can flag from her balcony, and as the
royal couple passed waved an enthusi-
astic handkerchief. The King and his
son looked up and bowed, and, like the
courteous gentleman he is, the Prince
summoned an aide.de-camp and gave an
order which was passed down the line
an order for each regiment as it went by
to salute the Stars and Stripes.
