The Ono Great Medicine.

Without doubt there are now and have been for years past several medicines of remarkable merit before the public-Medi- cines which have been used, in very many cases, with excellent success. The names of these will readily recur to our readers, and they are the names of preparations whose worth, for certain purposes, no one is dis posed to deny. But we are fully justified, by undeniable and notorious facts, in say ing, and we do not unhesitatingly say, that the one great medicine of the present day. the medicine, we mean, which now stands preemlnent above all others-is the famous VEeETIsE of Mir. +. k. Stevens of Boston. Some of the undeniable facts respecting this famous medicine are these.
 FTs,-It is astonishingly efficient in really curing the va,ious diseases for which 1t is especially compounded and intended.
 Second-It acts with celerity which Is generally very surprising. A single bottle has often either quite cured the user Of a serious difficulty, or brought about most agreeable change; while very few bottles have in thousands of inst 4nces effected the complete cure of long standing disease which had previously btfiled the skill of the best physicians.
 7Hrd--It acts directly upon the blood, of which 1t is the oAly powerful and thorough purifier.
 Fotrth--The testimonials in support of these facts and the extraordinary worth oi this medicine are from well-known and most respectable men and women, and, in many instances from persons holding the highest social positions. They are not cer- | tiicates from unknown and irresponsible l individuals. We, ourselves are Knowing | to the very high estimation in which Vege- | tine is held in one of the best families in | the city.
 | There is in short. and can be, no doubt ol mistake whatever, about the unprecedented and surprising efficacy, value and success o | the Vegetine. As purifier of the blood and quick renevator and inyigoratoi of the human system, physical and mental, no medicine, as is now generally conceded | has ever been devised and compounded al all equal to it; and as speedy and thorough cure for such complaints as cttarih, coughs stomachic weakness and faintness, loss O appetite. dyspepsia, cankerous humors scrofula, rheumatism, kidaey and some other equally serious complaints, Vegetint altogether surpasses any and all othel known medicinal preparations. The raipd | fly with which this great medicine has VOL it's way into all parts of this country ane various foreign ones, since it's discovery anc introduction, not many years ago, is some thing alike surprising and confrInatory O its intrinsic excellence.

The Death Ratc of

our country is getting to be fearfully alarming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most insignificant orgin. At this season of the year, especially, cold is such a common thing that in the hurry of everyday life we are apt to overlook the dangers attend ing it and often find too late tbat Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thusands lose their lives in this way every winter, while bad BosHEE's GERMAN STRUT been taken cure would have resulted, and large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP has proven itselt to be the greatest discovery of it's kind in medicine. Every Druggist in this county will tell you of it's wonderful effect. Over 50,0o0 bottles sold last year without sin gle failure known.

A Scene at the Arion Ball.
New York Evening Express, Feb 2l, lsso.

New York Evening Express, Feb 2l, 1ss9.
 Among the gay maskers that crowded the floor at the Aron Ball on Thursday even ing was one lady who apparently defied all efforts at detection. She seemed familiar with many notable people. and her frequent mention of their names and associations fairly puzzled them to locate her identity. When masks were taken of, and recogni- tion followed recognition, many good jokes were laughed over when discoveries were made as to personality.
 But amid all this scene no one seemed to recognize the strange lady masker; her face was devoid of all disguise, and while she stitl persisted in calling many by name, none seemed 10 know her, until at last gentleman with whom she was in conver- sation exclaimed: "Why, you are Mrs; - (mentioning the name of ladv well known to our theater-goers for the past thirty ycars.) What have you been doing to yourself? You look-well, certainly not over twenty-iiv {She is double that.) This Is, without exception, tue most won derful transformation sceue 1 have ever witnessed" "Well,p replied the lady, acknowledging her identity, I don't mind telling you, or anybody else for that matter, for do not believe in keeping so important matter secret, particul arly when my own sex can receive so much benefit. You know very well how wrinkled my face had become, and how many great horrid red freckles had, and in fact 1 was becoming generally passe. I had used, in old times, various cosmetics in my professional capacity, which. while being of momentary benefit, only aided in proclaimins my advancing yeafs, so that I had almost lost confidence in preparations of this kind. Quite recently have been reading of G1urauds Oriental Cream, and though of little faith, determined to try it. Having the Arion Ball in view, I commenced it's use about three weeks ago, satisfied that, as Dr. Sayre had given it his indorsement and the Board of Health had exempted it from condemnation where so many ovher preparations had been forbidden to be sold, and the proprietor actually did not hesitate to place 1t in his mouth, that no great harm could come from it's use. went to the principal office, No. AS BoRd street, and, after conversation with lady in charge, purchased a package. You see rhe result. l am not ashamed of it, and while the world at large knows my age, they cannot say that am not hand- some woman. Since 1 have commenced it's use, it's merits has led me to enquire, and fin 1 f sold by all first-class Druggists and Fancy Goods Dealers throughout the United istates, Canadas and Europe, a.d have noticed on. visiting Macy's EhrichA', i, Blooms, Stern's and all the lsading stores where ladies trade, that it is for sale on their counters, and, from the inquiries have made at those places, find it has out sold all competitors. You are safe in recommending it to your lady friends, for here you see it's good resuits"-and taking the arm of her escort, who came up at that moment, she was whirled off in dance. the observed of all the observers.

How Boys, Marbles are Made.

Almost all the marbles" with which boys everywhere amuse themselves in season and out of season, on sidewalks and in shady spots, are made at 0ber. stem, Germany. There are large agate quarries and mills in that neighborhood, and the refuse is turEed 10 good account in providing the small stone balls for experts to "kEuckle" with. The stone is broken into small cubes, by blows of a light hammer. These small blocks of stone are thrown by the shovelful into the hopper of small mill, formed of a bedstone, having it's surface grooved with concentrate furrows; above this is the "runner,' which is of some hard wood, having a level face on it's lower surface, The upper block is made to revolve rapidly, water being delivered upon the grooves of the bedstone where the marbles are being rounded. It takes about fifteen minutes to finish half a bushel of good marbles, ready for the boys knuckles. One mill will turn out l69000 marbles per week. The very hardest crackers" as the boys call them, are made by slower process, somewhat analogous, however, to the other.

When startled by the noise of an intruder, they plunge hastily into the depths, flashing the water into yellow ish foam, and scatter themselves below
