In the Whole HIstory of Medicine

No preparation has ever performed such mar
vellous cures, or maintained so wide reputa-
ton, as AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, which is
recognized as the world remedy for all diseases
Of the throat and lungs. Its long-continued Sc
ries of wonderful cures in all climates has made
it universally known as a safe and reliable agent
to employ. Against ordinary colds, which are
the forerunners OF more serious disorders, it
acts speedily and surely, always relieving suf-
fering, and often saving life. The protection it
affords, by Its timely use in the throat and lung
disorders OF children, makes it an invaluable
remedy to be kept always OR hand in every
home. No per son can afford to be without it ,
and those who have once used it never will.
From their knowledge Of its composition and
effects, Physicians use the CHERRY PEcToRAL
extensively in their practice. and Clergymen
recommend it. 1t is absolutely certain in its
remedial effects, and will always cure where
cures are possible.
For SALE BY ALL DEALERS.

The London Saturday RcCielo says
America may now be regarded as the
acknowledged leader OF fashion In all
matters of religion. We still look to
Paris for the late novelties for dress,
but the "newest things in the modes
of public worship nearly always come
30 US rom the United States. The in
yention OF tne old country exhibits in
thiBrespect failing vitality. We have
never ranked ourselves with those who
take Responding view of England's
future, but it would be the blindest
patrioticism to deny that here at least
our powers are Overmstched. We have
in our time invented 8 sect or two, and
IL is possible that in the course of
years We shall be able to add to the
humber. But there is q dull decorum
in all our attempts at religious innova-
hon, which compares most unfavoIably
with the more brilliant and daring
metAsd- adopted by our rivals. What
ever they attempt Is achieved with q
completeness of success altogether be-
yond the reach Of our more hesitating
aud tlmid efforts. The singing OF
hymns was not perhaps altogether an
unknown exercise amorg the members
of our religious communities, and yet,
whea Moody and Sankey appeared, the
aplendor OF their performances were
hailed as the revelation of a new art.
F'r m that moment hymn-slnging was
recognized as en- Independent and pc
tent means of conversion, and many
who listened unmoved to the most elo-
|anent preachers yielded at last to the
krm Of Mr.. Moody's voice and the
stlsisRg strains OF Mr.. Sankey's organ.
wnRut although hymu-singlngi is practiced
as separate religious art, it is not,
therefore, to be supposed that preach
ing is neglected. American preachers
I've indeed worldwide renown.
Sslnetimes, as in the case OF Mr.. Ward
8echer, they add to their intellectual
ilfaotions the interest of romantic
ehsracter and career. But even with
ont these tender claims upon the con-
liberation of their hearers, American
rlehchers are rarely found to be dull.
. ne eminent OF them possess 3 GER
si,h easy mastery in dealing with the
hts Of sacred history that is not to be
Sisted. They are Hail fellow, well
ST. with all the eminent characters
the Old Testament, and they are on
Intimate terms of friendship with the
Apostles. They illuRlne the incidents
Of tho sacred narrative with apt and
iamilisF Illustrations boldly seized from
<t;lc lie Of our own time, and in this
way they contrive 10 make their hear-
ers pefectly at home, even IN the pres
ence OF the most solemn and awful
themes. Il is distressing TO reflect that
lach talents are not understood, even
d America. The RsY. Dr.. Dewitt
fa1nlage is a very eminent exponent of
he kind Of eloquenee We have describ-
}. hut his extraordinary gifts have
naly served to involve him IN vexa-
finaa trial before the Brooklyn Presby-
. iery. He has been accused of .'senss-

I Father Genln, a priest, who Tor more
than ten years has lsbored with the
Sioux of the Northwest, and is init
mate with Sitting Bull aud other Oted
warriors of the plains, has been inter-
viewed by New York Herald reporter.
Father Genin asserts that there is more
of the Cooper ideal in the red man
than the present generation is inclined
to admit, and that among them he has
found many developments of character
which would do honor to the white
man. Sitting Bull (Tatanka Yotsnke),
he declares is great mana thinker.
Shortly after the conference with Gen.
Terry's commission at Fort Walsh, in
British America, he dictated to Father
Genin manifesto ITO all Just aud FEN
sible citizens of the United States" In
which he claims that the provisions Of
the treaty of 1863 were never car
ried out. These provisions he discusses
at some length, and shows how palpG-
bly, they have been disregarded. After
the discovery of gold in his country
the treaty rights of the Indians were
shamelessly violated. While his peo-
pie were gathered together to deliber-
ate an army came against them. They
Recognized Custer and sent flag of
truce to him, but the bearer was shot
down. They then retreated for eight
days, for they did not wish to Ggat.
But, believing that Clusters mission was
to extermlnate them, they finally act up
mock village, left fires lighted and
prepared efligy Indians to deceive the
whites. AS the troops dashed into
the camp Sitting Bulls braves closed
in their rear and the massacre Of the
Rosebud took place. Father Genin
claims to have the t>mahawk with
which Custer was killed. Throughout
his address the chief directs his words
70 sensible citizens" ignoring officials
of every kind. "We had lost all fsit h
in Them" officials } he says, and so
they took a squaw to answer at the
NEE ting last fail. He declares that his
people want peace, but that they can
not have peace while they are pursued
by army men, anxious to fight.

The watch found By the body of II e
late Prince Imperial had doubtless been
left by the ZIlus under the sHpposition
that it was charm, which, if taken,
would render the holder liable to the
i'll luck Of the previous wearer. 1t was
an ordinary timepiece, and was pur-
Chased by Napoleon when he was a
lieutenant of artillery. He wore it as
First Consul, as Emperor, and until
his last sickness at ST. Helena. Napo-
leon III became its owner, and wore it
during his attempt at revolution at
Strasburg and Boulogne. From the
time that he becsme President to the
hour of his death at Chlselhurst, he
meyer separated himself from it. The
ex-Empress subsequently gave it to her
son, who wore it constantly. 1t often
required repairs, even during the time
OF its first wesrer. He looked at it one
day while talking with Marshal Ber-
thier, and found that it had stopped.
Berthier asked why he did not procure
q better one. "What can we expect of
watchl'' said Napoleon. "We shall
have to stop one day ourselves" The
locket worn by the Prince had been
brought from Egypt by the first Napo-
leon, who also wore the sword taken
by the Zulus. The gold chain had be-
longed to Napoleon III.

than for q long lime. But another and
somewb"t peculiar proof is furnished
in New York city. The hospitals Ii Q
furnish 50 evidence Of the state OF
trade II the city. The law of acciden :
Is sure. With business active, acct
deuts are frequsat; with everything
! quist in the way of business, accidents
are few. The amount OF building, Of
teaming, of hosting, of loading, OF
packing, and Of all such work that is
going on, regulates the amount of &C
cidents. Recently the number of casu-
slties has increased very peIceptibly.
Indeed, it has been growing for
months, aud now the hospitals are
doing as much Of this sort OF business
SIS they have had for long time. Day
by day the bits OF bad luck come along,
and the victims are carried of to the
hospitals aud cared for, and the greater
the prevailing prosperity the greater
also the roll of the unlucky.
