FAMOUS CONEY ISLAND.

Coney Island, now the most famous
seaside resort of tine country is constant
ly growing in gayety and interest. The
descriptions of the place read almost like
the descriptions of the Centennial. Mr..
p. 7. Z. Smith will run his annual ex-
cussion ON Thursday, Aug. 2Sth, and one
Of the special features will be stoppage
at this place. True those who desire can
go on up the "Romantic Hudson" but 1t
is Likely that the majority of the excur-
sionists will go down to Coney Island.
The price of tickets is only three dol
lars. A more liberal offer was never

EFFECTS OF INTERNAL MEDI-

Thousands of people deliberately put
into their stomachs what they dare not
apply to their skin. Mix Red pepper,
mustard, horse radish, vinegar, pepper

to the skin outside for an hour, and it
will givs the dullest patient faint idea
of what must be the effect if taken into
a diseased stomach. The same is true
of all drastic physic. Flagg's Liver and

Bitten by q Rabid Calf.
Mr.. John Roberts, of Upper Uwchlan
township, Chester County, was bitten by
a rabid calf. He noticed the cali biting
the ground, fences, &C., and knowing
that it had been bitten few days be-
fore by dog, he at once concluded that
it had the hydrophobia. He attempted
to catch it for the purpose of killing 1t,
when the rabid animal bit him on the
hand. Mr.. Roberts is now under the
treatment of A. B. Emery, the celebrat-
ed hydrophobia doctor, of PhGnixville,
