WE frequently see newspaper; article
written to show that New York City is
ON the down grade commercially, fnan-
cially and real estatedly. There is some
other city that is on the eve of taking
all her trade away from her. But the
fact that the valuation of property in
her tventy-four wards for 1880 shows an
increase of $2s, 600, 900 over that of 1879,
hardly indicates that she is going into a
decline just yet. One ward alone, the
9th, has an increase of $9,500,OO0.

should incline him to attempt to earn
a living in some quiet way.

The new Constitution of California
abolishes Grand Jury and partially does
away with trials by jury. The man on
trial may elect whether his case shall go
to a magistrate or jury, and he may
agree that a jury shall consist of only
ten, or eight, or even six persons. This
materially reduces the chances of the
obstinate juror.

SAYS a contemporary: Were the
proposition to chose Presidential cleo

sent the will of the people than our
present method of electing.

Acqpalnting his wife with what he had

Of homeopathy. That night the child
passed 10 suffering and the parents with.

worse; and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, aud left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered q
portion Of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
.awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change. aud although
at first. offended at the deception practic-
ed upon her, has continued to use the
Syrup, and suffering, crying babies and
restless nights have disappeared. A sim
gle trial Of the Syrup never yet failed to
relieve the baby, and overcome the pre-
judices IF the mother. Sold by all

A loes of bodily Tissue, greatly in excess
of the natural daily waste which takes
place in. the healthiest physical and mental
structure, and but for which waste life and
youth might be indefinitely prolonged, is
entailed upon those whose vital powers are
weak and nervous sys.em fragile. To arrest
this ~luinous loss and brace the system, a
course Of Hosietter's Stomach Bitters is the
proper agent. Tone to the nerves. vigor
and regularity. to the digestive organs and
liver are among the o9ons conferred upon
this inestimable medicine, which more than
any known tonic tends to check the pro.
eress Of unnatural and premature decay,
Sleep, renewed relieh for food, are both OBJ
tanned by the nervous and dyspeptit
through lis use, which is also the means o.
inuring the system to encounter safely NAL,
