Who Is Mrs WINsLow.-As this ques-
ton is frequently asked, we will simply
say that she is lady who for upwards Of
thirty years has untiringly devoted her time
and talents as female physician and
nurse, principally among children. She
has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as re-
suit of this effort, and practical knowledge,
obtained in lifetime spent as nurse and
physician, she has compounded Soothing
Syrup, for children teething. 1t operates
like magic-giving rest and health, and is
moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In
consequence of this article Mrs. Winslow
is becoming world-renowned as benetactor
of her race; children certainly do rise up and
bless her; especially is this the
case in this city. Vast quantities Of the
Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used
here. We think Mrs. Winslow has MINOR
talized her name by this invaluble article
and we sincerely believe thousands of chill
rem have been saved from an early grave by
its timely use, and that millions yet unborn
will share Its benefits, and unite in calling
her blessed. No mother has discharged
her duty to her suffering little one, in our
opinion, until she has given 1t the benefit Of
Mrs. Winslows Soothing Syrup. Try it
mothers--try it now.--Ladies' Visitor,
New York city. Sold by all druggists. 20

Influence of Afghan Chietu.

Many curious stories are told of the influence exercised by the Afghan chiefs over their followers, among the most striking of which is the following. A young English subaltern attached to the Kabul expedition of lS4l-2 rescued an Afghan pilgrim from some British soldiers who were handling him roughly. The pilgrim warmly thanked his deliv- erer, saying with emphasis that an Afghan never forgets good turn or bad one" Some months later, during the fatal battle of the Kurk- -Kabul Pass, our hero saw one of the enemy point to him repeatedly, and concluded himself singled out for destruction. But to his amazement, he remained unhurt amid the hottest fire, while his men were dropping around him like leaves, those who had molested the pilgrim being the first to fall. At length several of the enemy disarmed and dragged him down by main force, checking those who wished to kill him by declaring him un- der the protection of their chief. The chief in question proved to be identical with the rescued pilgrim-a disguse as- sumed to aid his designs against the the officer, having been entertained, was dismissed without ransom.
