CoUGHs.-"Brown Bronchial Troches
are used with advantage to alleviate cough,
sore throat, hoarseness and bronchial affec-
tions. For thirty years these Troches have
been in use, with annually increasing favor.
They are not new and untried, but, having
been tested by wide and constant use for
nearly an entire generation, they have at
tanned well-merited rank among the few
staple remedies of the age.

Speakers and singers find the Troches use
full.

The tale that Gambetta, when a child
voluntarily put out his right eye in order
TO be removed from seminary which
he abhorred, is pronounced IN absurd
fiction. The real facts are, that one
day, when only years old, while look
ing at cutler boring holes in the handle
OF knife with drill fastened to an old
broken foil bv piece of cat-gut, this
rude machine gave way by reason Of too
great tension, and the broken foil struck
the right eye Of the child with great
force, perforating the cornca. This ter
rible accident causing him to he one
different from his kind, he was pcttcd,
pampered and spoiled by his parents,
his every whim and fancy iululged, and
every caprice Of his ardent and violent
character allowed free play.

Prince Alexander, the present ruler of
Bulgaria, having recently come into
legacy of 81 100000 left to him by the
late empress of Russia, his aunt by mar
riage, is about to build splendid palace
in the new quarter of Sofia, at the east
end Of that city, where several large and
handsome houses are in course of cree
ton for the future. accommodation of
Bulgarian rank and fashion. The youth
full Hospodar is just now in lucky vein.
Only the other day Bishop Gligor pre-
sented him with a tastefully laid-out
park, about half an hours drive from
Rustchuk, eminently suitable for sum-
mer retreat and the prince, while CRATE
fully accepting this munificent gift,
sagaciously seized the opportunity Of
adding to his popularity by forthwith
issuing decree in virtue Of which the
park in question is to be thrown open
10 the Bulgarian public during three
hours Of 9very day for all time to come.

A Daughter Rescued,

A Frankfort (Ky) physician writes
Some months ago the daughter OF one Of
our prominent citizens was pronounced a
hopeless consumphve. She was very much
reduced in flesh; terrible cough, her life
gradually wasting away. recommended
her to use 'Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup
Of Wild Cherry" which she did In a
short time she was free from all cough and
other symptoms, and is now rosy and
healthy. Price 25 cents and 81 bottle or
@ bottles &c. The large size is the most
economical. Prepared only by DR.. Swayne
81 Son, Philadelphia. Sold by druggists.
An occasional dose Of "Swayne's Pills"
should be taken to keep the bowels free.
They are excellent for torpid liver and bill
ious complaints. Sold by all the Cairo
druggists. (2)

The Congregationalsts have organ
lied fifty-six churches in the Sandwich
Islands, with church ediiices and sala-
ried ministers, and besides have con-
tributed $4,000 to missions elsewhere,
and $4,000 to build u Chinese church in
Honolulu. A peculiar feature of this
mission is that the American mission
aries going there have kept and edu-
Gated their children on the islands, and
this has influenced quite number of
New England families, and their de-
scendants have in about half-centuly
become large part of the population,
30 that, while the native population
may diminish, another people will more
than fill their place.

Ignorance a Cause Of Disease.

The more thoroughly the causes of
disease are understood, the more and
more they are found traceable to vio-
lation of the hygienic laws If the raw
ages of cholera, of yellow fever and ty-
phoid may be controlled in a great
measure by the observance of such
laws why may not scarlet fever, measles
and whooping cough-these scourges of
infant life-be prevented, or very much
limitedP The prevailing sentiment
that all children must necessarily have
these diseases once, finds no support in
the nature of physiology or in the prin-
ciples of hygiene. The fact is already
well established that the spread and VI
olence of scarlet fever, by isolation,
cleanliness and ventilation, are very
much modified, and, in some instances,
entirely prevented. We believe the
time will come when measles, scarlet
fever and whooping cough, which now
destroy such multitudes of children,
will become, in q measure, things of
the past 1t is not only the great
amount of sickness and mortality oc-
casioned directly by these diseases, but
the impaired constitutions and other
complaints consequent upon them, that
may also be prevented, When the
community realizes fully that the means
of preserving health especially in early
life, are placed, in great measure, in
its own hands, far higher estimate
will be placed upon value of human life,
and the responsibility for its preserva-
ton will be found TO depend in n great
measure upon human efforts, Dr., Ma
than Allen.
