and rapid cures, and is adapted to patients of
any age or either sex. Being very palatable,
the youngest children take it readily. In
ordinary Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat,
Bronchitis, Influenza nafSn ro 0lerg gym a

roRAL are magical, and multitudes are an
nually preserved from serious illness by its
timely and faithful use. 1t should be kept
ut hand in every household for the pro-
lection it affords in sudden attacks. In
Whooping cough and Consumption
there is no other remedy so ethcacious,
soothing, and helpful.
Low prices are inducements to try some OF
the many mixtures, or syrups, made OF cheap
and ineffective ingredients, now offered,
which, as they contain no curative qualities,
sure to deceive and disappoint the patient.
Diseases of the throat and lungs demand
active and effective treatment; and it is dam
gerous experimenting with unknown and
cheap medicines, from the great liability that
these diseases may, while so tritted with,
become deeply seated or incurable. Use
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, and you may
confidently expect the best results. 1t is
standard medical preparation, of known and
acknowledged curative power, and Is as
cheap as its careful preparation and fine
ingredients will allow. Eminent physicians,

NOTES.
The New York Times says, speaking of Miss
Cary in "Favorita' Wednesday night: .Mlss
Cary has never been in better voice. and never
gave stronger ora more brilliant perform
ance. The "Oh milo Fernando" was exquls-
ltely sung. but it was in the last act that she
particularly distinguished herself. Her acting
was simply perfect and most admirable exhi-
bition OF histronic talent, while the finish of
her singing justified the reputation she enjoys
as the most eminent contralto on the stage to-
day. @ .gEEsET2& TIT,
Mary Anderson appeared Thursday night as
Julia in s'The Hunchback"-a character that
calls forth all the resources of her feminine
charms and her professional skill. Miss An
derson is attracting crowds, and affording
much pleasure. She has been seen, thus far,
as Evadne, las Parthenia and as the Countess in
Love-" A revival of "Ion" is shortly to be
made.
The Tribune speaking of Salvini's Sullivan
Tor David Garrick) says: Salvini, perhaps, ac-
counts his impersonation of Sullivan slender
work; but it is one of his best achievements
and it gives him this prominence among ira
gedians-that he is the only tragic actor of
our time who, stepping aside from his habitu-
al groove, has given us an absolutely perfect
piece of comedy. Charles Kean was able to
perform this sort of feat in his day; but
Charles Keah's true greatness, like that of
Henry Irving's, was, perhaps, really in come
dy. Salvini is essentially tragic; yet, in this
part, he discards every attribute of tragedy,
and is altogether human, gentle, plant and
winning. 81 !, :
Mr.. Kyrle Bellew, the young English actor,
who came to this country to fiji part in the
Creole itUnion SuuareTbeatre. has re-
turned to England. He was unwilling to PLAY
under Mr.. Thorne, and Mr.. Palmer was will
ing to take leave of him. 1t is stated, how
ever, that Mr.. Bellew will take a leading place
in Mr.. Wallack's company next season. Z

ATRATO MINING COMPANY.
Trial Of the New Machinery.

For days past low stylish appearing steam
launch has been observed in our front harbor
She turns out to be the "Alice," owned by the
above company, the arrival of which was mo-
tced by the PRESS. Since then she has been
fitted with new boiler of larger power for
pumping purposes, and the machinists and
officers gave her thorough trial yesterday
and pronounced her machinery entirely sue
cessful. They courteously offer to stockhold-
ers, and all others interested, an opportuni ty
to see and judge of their mode of operating at
23O O'Clock this afternoon at the Union Row
ing Association boat house, at the end of Mer-
rill's wharf, upon the single restriction that
they are not asked questions. They are en-
tirely willing to show results, but cannot for
obvious reasons there and then answer
questions. All may find such explanations as
may be desired at the company's Office. 1t
will be borne in mind that the pumps and
pipes constructed at Bristol have eight times
the capacity and discharge of this prospecting
launch's machinery.

Thieves Arrested.

Last night officer McCallum arrested two
men at Daniel Friel's secondhand clothing
store on the corner of Union and Fore streets,
who were trying to dispose of considerable
wearing apparel which had undoubtedly been
stolen. They had already sold two coats, and
one OF them was still wearing two overcoats.
They had three fur caps for only two heads
and pair of rubber boots, notwithstanding
the streets were perfectly dry The name of
one of the men is Rogers; that of the other is
not known. They say they belong in Massa-
chusetts, but they have been hanging round
this city and Lewiston for some weeks. The
stolen coat that was recovered at Friel's sever.
al days ago was sold there by Rogers.
