An Ideal ChLdren's Mag zine.
Messrs. SCRIBKE & Co., in 1873, began
the pu blication of st Nicholas, an Illustra-
ted Magazine for girls and Boys with
Mrs Mary Mapes Dodge AS editor. Five
years have passed since the first number
was issued and the magazine has won the
high s. position. 1t has a monthly circula-
ton Of
OVER 80 900 COPIES.
1t is published simultaneously in London
and New York. and the trans Atlantic rec
ignition is almost as general and hearty
as the American. Although the pro gress OF
the magazine has been a steady advance, il
has not reached its editors ideas of best,
because her ideal continually outruns it
and the MAGAZINE as swiftly follows after
To-day ST NICHOLAS stends
ALONE IN THE WORLD OF BOOKS;
The New York Tribune has said of il; st
Nicholas has reached a higher platform,
and commands for its service wider re-
in artand letters than any Of its pre-
decessOrs or contemporaries" The London
Literary World says: There is no maya
zine for the young that can be said to
equal this choice production of Scribner's
press"

The arrangements for literary and art
forthe new volume, the sixth,
are complete, drawing from already favor

SION Drinking Vinegar.

How many young women who have
inherited pre-disposition to en16on-
point have ruined their health by
drinking vinegar to reduce their forms
to graceful proportions. Allan's Anti
Fat is absolutely harmless. 1t pro-
NOTES digestion. AMI ccomplishes ITS
work simply by preventing al undue
assimilation OF the fatty ingredients
of The food. Excessive fairness is n
vexatious burden, and there is no
longer any excu-e for enduring it,
since Ailan's Anu Fat is an etfectnsl
remedy for This abnormal condition.

Heavy migration.

The Memphis AvaLanche, of last
Saturday, says:
Three hundred emigrants fJr the
Lone Star State have passed through
Memphis during The pat two days.
They came from Georgia aud East
Ten essee aud were accompanied as

Chattanooga emigrant agent. There
are four railroad agents, Ell. Sisson,
Ben. Neville, w. T. Rogers aud ii. n.
Snyder, at Chattanooga, VINO are de-
pOpulating the regions beyond. They
make regular maFauding expeditions
into Georgia and East Tennessee, and
each one of them is good for from so
to 100 emigrants."
If we are not mistaken We have two
of these wide-awake agents in Knox

REVENUE SERVICE.
The Collectors Classified as to Their
Efficiency.

Efficiency.
Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
l. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Gen. w.
T. Clarke, Special Agent of Inter-
nal Revenue, has completed the in
spectiOn of a large number of col-
lection districts in the country. The
result is most gratifying to the
Commissioner. The whole service
is shown by them to be in far better
condition than at any previous date.
There have been five grades estab-
lished for Collectors Offices. The
official standard for the highest
grade is the following: A frst-class
Office is one where off GERS are honest,
capable, and faithful /; where the
Collector deVotes his best energies
to the proper organization and dis
cipline of his Office, and division or
force, and uses every endeaYor to
collect all the taxes due the Gov
eminent: where every subordinate
takes pride in his position, and is am
bilious to excel in his line of duty ;
where there are no errors or discrep-
ancies in the cash account, where |
the Office is furnished in manner
to preserve the public records, and
to comport with the dignity of the
Government; where the records are
completed to date and without
erasures, blots, or any DETACHMENT;
where records and lists are bound,
letter books and circulars indexed,
and where everything presents the
appearance of a first, class business
house. The difference between first
and second class is very slight, and
in the these two classes the major
ity of all Offices are found. Those
falling in the second division are
among the best in the country.
There are only two of Glass 5-the
Terre Haute, Ind. District, Collector
White, and the Brooklyn District,
Collector Freeland. The examina-
ion of all Offices and of districts
las been of the most searching
character. The following comprise
Ill the Offices reported as frst-class,

lalf of them are in the, Southern

This important organ weighs but about three
pounds and all the blood in living person (about
three gaons) passes through it at least every
half hour, to have the bile and other impurities
!, lstrained or filtered from it. Bile is the natural
purgative Of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
torpid it is not separated from the blood but car
ried through the veins to all parts Of the system,
and IN trying to escape through the pores of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
Icolor. The stomach becomes diseased, and Dys-
Ilpepsia, Indigestion, Constipation, Headache, Bill
lousness, Jaundice, Chills, Malaral Fcvcrs, Piles,
Sick and Sour Stomach, and general debility fol-
low. MERRELL's HEPATINE, the great vegetable
discovery for torpidty, causes the Liver 10 throw
OF from one to two ounces of bile each time the
blood passes through it, as long there is
cess of bile; and the effect Of even few doses
upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking
skin, will astonish all who try it--they being the
first symptoms to disappear. The cure Of all bill
Gus diseases and Liver complaint is made certain
by taking HEFATIEE in accordance with directions
Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes,
aud no disease that arises from the Liver can exist
if a fair trial is given.

30,000 barrels of cranberries this season.
1t is computed that France now

population.

"A young lady of Goa, in Portuguese
India, has adopted a novel way to pro-
cure a husband. She has posted at the
Municipal Chamber at Margaum an an
nouncement that young lady of 1S
years, of pretty good appearance, and
having an annual income of 1880
xeratins, wishes to marry man under
80 years of age who can command l 200
xerafins yearly income; in addition, he
should understand the English and Por-
tuguese languages and the metrical sys-
tenn of accounts. On the 25th instant
she would pass at noon through the
public streets of Margaum with green
umbrella and handkerchief of the same
color in her left hand, after which she
would receive suitors with their pro-
posals, and choose one from them pos
sessing the stipulated qualifications.
