Health In n BOTTLE.

One bottle of DIR. GRosvENoR's LIVER AID
will produce beneficial results in cases where
the remedies of the Pharmacop9a and Nos
trums, dependent for a brief success upon
puffery alone, utterly fail. As its name i'm
plies, this medicine acts directly upon the
Liver; but its action is by no means confined
to that organ, the digestive apparatus and the
bowels are put in good working trim, the
manifold symptoms of Dyspepsia vanish, the
blood is purified, and Piles, which are the in
variable result Of Costiveness, are wholly
eradicated by this standard family medicine.

The Size of a Drop.
Journal of Chemistry.

Mr.. T. L. Talbot has made series of
experim ents regarding the size of drops
and their use in measuring medicines,
etc. He finds that liquids containing a
small proportion of water affords a
small drop, and vice versa. Gmelin's
statement ''that the cohesion of liquids
is pretty nearly in proportion to their
specific gravit y" is called in question,
and the fact that alcohol and mercury
affords nearly the same number of
drops to the drachm certainly throws
considerable doubt upon the matter.
The size of drops is affected principally
by the cohesion of the liquid, and the
form Of lip over watch the drop falls.
Bottles with ground necks, wide, thin
even lips give fair results, but are not
so accurate as "droppers." The best of
these will not average at all well. The
administration of powerful medicines
should not be attempted by drops, and
this mode of measurement is, in any
case, inadmissable if the quantity ex-
ceeds half a drachm. The largest drop
is formed by syrup ofgum arabic, forty
four to the drachm and the smallest by
chloroform, $50 to the drachm. AS a
general rule tinctures, fluid extracts anG
essential oils yield a drop less than one
half the size of water, and acids and
solutions give drop bnt slightly small
er than water.

Captain Bogardus and His Sons.
From the Turf, Field and Farm.

The fedoubtable captain is evidently
but the first of line of good shots.
The elder son, Eugene, has been from
infancy before the public as a crack
shot with the rifle or smooth-bore, and
now appear on the scene three more
ofthe captains sons, aged respectively
9, 7 and 5 years. The family is now
giving exhibitions through the west.
AS they expect soon to come east we
give a resume Of the feats accomplish
ed successfully by the quartet. Eugene
goes first through the performance so
well known here already. The next
part of the programe is Edward, Peter
and Henry, of ages mentioned above,
shooting at target and at glass balls.
Among the teats is each breaking a
glass ball held in the fathers fingers.
The programme includes rifle shooting
by the captain himself, who, during
this exhibition, shoots nickles from
the boys fingers, knocks the ashes
from cigar held in Eugenes mouth,
and snuffs a candle held by the young
ster Henry. The show closes by shoot
ing glass balls from the traps by the
whole family.

Why Maggie Mitchell is OH the Stage.

Maggie has been on the stage for
thirty years. She acknowledges to
forty-three, and, as she has made a
great deal of money, people wonder
why she don't retire. The truth is,
she is not as rich as she was, and her
work now is for her children. Some
years ago her husband, Paddock, bought
the Forest Place at Long Branch, pay
ing $4,000 therefor, $4,000 of which
was cash down. Time ran on and in
terest and taxes with it, but the little
comedienne is in no sense a business
woman, and so she left everything to
her husband. One day the remaining
$50, 900 fell due and could not be met.
The place was sold on mortgage, and
brought less than her first payment,
and she awoke to a realization of the
fact that she had hard time before
her, and so the little woman is still on
the STAGE
Maggie Mitchell, since her first great
success in New York, nineteen years
ago, has been carryall for her entire
family. She feeds them, lodges them,
and clothes them. She has an old
father between seventy and eighty who
is a veritable cold Eccles," and the
only wav he can be kept from giving
way to his weakness lies in locking him
up and feeding him on regular rations
of whisky.
In spite of the familiarity with her
plays and acting Maggie Mitchell is
still one of the great paying stars of
the stage. She makes money constant
ly and everywhere, and sheLdeserves to.
She has created school in acting, and
in her school she is beyond imitation.
Few women have given as great pleas
ure to the public.-Ci,ecin,,.at, cores

Nothing is More important.

Essential, in fact, to the preservation Of bodily
health than to restore the activity of the kidneys
and bladder, when they perform their functions
imperfectly, since when they do, large proper
ton Of the debris or waste matter Of the system,
for which they are one of the chief outlets, re-
mains in and poisons it. Furthermore the organs
themselves become diseased, as consequence Of
their inactivity. That fine invigorant, Hoatetters
Stomach Bitters, possesses diuretc properties Of
high order, and without unduly stimulating these
organs, promotes q vigorous and regular perform
ance of tho duty assigned to them by nature. At
the same time, this time-honored medicine acts az
q regulator of the stomach, liver and bowels, and
as renovant of vital energy and nerve tranquil
ity. A suitable trial cannot fail to establish the
truth of these statements.

barrassed on account of the rogue hav-

and volunteered several explanations
of the matter. First, he said, he did
not steal the duck-he had found it;
then that his dog had picked it up; and,
lastly: that vicious policeman had put
the duck in his pocket unknown to
him. Putting the case to the jury, his
counsel left the gentlemen to take their
choice, saying: "My unfortunate client
Z has told half dozen different stories
as to how he became possessed of the
duck. I don't ask you to believe all
the stories, but I will ask you to take
any one of Them" Which story they
took the advocate never knew, but the

A BAD REVIVAL.
why Two COlOred Preachers Engaged
in a Fight.
Little Rock Gazette,

Little Rock Gazette.
A cOlOred revival near Little Rock
has just resulted rather seriously. Par
son Greenleaf, Methodist, and Elder
Hawbush, Presbyterian, united their
forces and held union meeting. The
preachers worked faithfully, but at the
end of the week, and when only five
conversions had been made the preach
ers closed the meeting with religious
disgust. When the two men began to
settle up, Il dispute arose as to the d.
vision of the convert spoils.
II aughter hab three" insisted the
Methodist. II wicked harder den yer
did. My voice is stronger an hit had
more feet"
''No, sah," said the Presbyterian; II
shall hab three myself. Yer may take
de figgers of cherry union meetin' hill in
las ten yeahs, and yer'll see dat de Meth
Odis' tried ter get away wifi de Presby-
terians. III had it said dat yer can't
pull de lambs wool ober my eyes,"
Here the congregation sang hymn,
and to make greater effort toward
Cancellation, old knocked-kneed Ben,
the man who used to make bread trays,
prayed.
"1ll tell yer what I'll d." said the
Methodist: 'Ill gin yer two, an we'll
fling up a bench leg, wet or dry, fur
de udder one"
The presbyterian agreed but when
he picked up a flat bench leg and spit
on it, the methodist minister exclaim-
ed:
II kicks agin SIGH proceedins! Mr..
Hawbush, l doan particular want any
truck wild yer, but when goes ter do
de countin, of yer interiors, den darl
be a 'sturbance!'
"Lemmy tell YER" said Hawbush,
gripping the bench-leg, "I'll be dinged
eff I'se ur gwine ter be counted out.
Use been counted out fur Jestice oh de
Peace four ur five times, an dinged oh
hit amt gettin a little sorter tire
some."
"I'se gwine ter hab three of desc
converts" exclaimed Mr.. Greenleaf,
and he began to drag two sister converts
toward the door. "Ketch a holt OBJ
Sandy Jones, brudder Simmons" yelled
the preacher; "Ketch him, fur I kin
manage de oman"
''Stop dar!" demanded Mr.. Haw-
bush. 'Turn dat man loose ur I'll
brain yer"
"G'way from haeah. G'way I tell
YER" yelled Mr.. Simmons. "G'wav. fur
Use pizener den snake?"
Mr.. Greenleaf dropped the two wo-
men and ran to the assistance of Mr..
Simmons. Other parties interposed,
and hand to hand fight ensued. Mr..
Greenleaf grappled Mr.. Hawbush and
q lively scuftle took place. "Doan
fling yer weight onter me-" exclaimed
Greenleaf. "Doan do dat, Use cot a
ketch in my back" The fight would
have been serious but for three con-
stables, who entered and arrested the
entire congregation. The ministers
have sued each other, both claiming
the ght to three converts.
