Haverly's Mastodons appear at Peck's Grand Opera House on next Thursday evening. The Boston Post said of their performance '"The entertainment is superior to anything in the minstrel line that has been here for many years" The Boston HerGld spoke of them as follows: ''The Mastodons form, without doubt, the finest congregation of minstrel talent in the country, and some of their per- formances merit such superlative adjectives as extraordinary and wonderful Their per formances aresEen worth the attention of every lover of 1ninstrelsy, and the great ad- vance sale of tickets for the single week of the company's stay indicates 8 continuance of the enormous business of last evening"

 The great London Ghost Mystery and va riety entertainment are at No. 490 State street every afternoon and evening. The Waterbury American says: Prof. Barry Red man knows how to cater to the tastes of the public by putting on the stage such pieces as will suit them, and the public should go and judge for themselves. The price is small and the entertainment is really worth ten times the amount. He invites all to attend. The press and the clergy of all other cities that he has been in pronounce it to be the most moral and entertaining exhibition they ever saw. This we guarantee, as we have seen many of his press notices

Blood Letting in England Fifty Years

The Pharmacoppia of fifty years ago
contained the names of IA drugs and
their preparations, whilst that of to-day
contains the names of no fewer than S02.
The former did not contain the names Of
quinine, morphia. or iodine. three of the
most commonly used drugs of the present
day. In fact. SO frequently are they pre-
scribed in one form or another, that one
wonders how the doctors managed with
out the two latter. Quinine was in use to
a certain extent though it was not official
" sanctioned; but where one grain was
then used believe a hundred are now.
The system of treating many diseases has
indeed been completely revolutionized.
Speaking generally, he practice used to
he to pull down the system; now it is to
build it up by Il freer use OF Yuinine and
other tonics.
But in nothing is the change more strik-

habit OF blood-letting. rs it was called.

even more common than it was mt the time

Dear Sir-In May, 1879, caught a heavy cold,
which gradually settled on my lungs causing great
difficulty and pain in breathing. could not rest at
night, being kept awake by coughing. The loss OF
sleep and appetite at last reduced me very much
from 100 pounds, my usual weight when in health,
to 1873 pounds. l took the prescriptions of physi-
Clans, but they did me no good. One day, while
looking over the CLEVELAND HERALD, l noticed
that your medicines had cured many cases that
were at least as bad as mine, and SO concluded to
them They were rather SLOW in their action at
first, but after l had used them for couple of
weeks, saw that l getting better; my appe-
tite improved, the pain and difficulty in breathing

PLAN FOR CHECKING COUNTERFETTS UPON MA
TI0NAL BANK NOTES.
Mr.. CASTELAR, has worked out a plan by which
this apparently interminable counterfeiting can
be checked. He has prepared design for the
letters embraced therein are of a more elaborate
design and much more difficult to engrave than
those now in use. They are q character Of let
tiers that cannot be easily counterfeted. He
would also place upon the face of the notes the
charter number cf the bank in figures of very
intricate workmanship. This check to counter
feiting national bank notes will be brought to
the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury
with a view to its adoption. There has not
been of late any great advance in the art of
engraving. Improvement is. however going
on all the time. No engraver ever reaches the
point where he has nothing to learn. In the
past fifteen years there have been very import
ant improvements One of the greatest of
these is the introduction Of the engraved
alphabet, which was invented in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing. 1t works something
On the order Of the stencil plate. The alphabet
. nelng already engraved plate can be made in
three or four days, otherwise the preparation of
the plate would take three or four weeks. The
engraved alphabet has just been introduced into
the largest engraving establishment in Eng
land. 1t is a little singular that while the
march of legitimate engraving has been onward,
there is but little improvement in the hand-
work of the counterfeiter. Most improvements
in engraving need complicated machinery to
work them out. The cOunterfeiter having to
work ''iOw down." cannot use this machinery
for fear of detection, even if he is able TO pro-
cure IT,

10 TIE EultOr OF IHE EVENING STAR:
sale OF fine stock by the authorities of
Druid Hill Park, at Baltimore. suggests the
desrability of furnishing the Department of
Agriculture with additional space to extend its
usefulness. By condemning a few hundred
acres of the Rock Creek valley, room for exper-
lments in trees, farm crops, stock, landscape
gardening, &c, would be had, and intelligently
and proftably utilized by our progressive and
broad-nnded Commissioner. That the control
of the water shed of the Rock Creek valley and
the establishment Of the long-desired National
Park would be secured, would not the less COM
mend the project. For the ornamental or not
strictly agricultural work, the labor Of the
various penal or reformatory institutions could
be utilized with benefit to the inmates and
profit to the government, and this force might
be largely reinforced from the vagabOnds and
the hedges. kunneIs and majahs' who gather
in such numbers here. If this class of labor is
objectionable, the boards of charity could doubt
less furnish able-bodied labOrers for whom an
preparations or contributions are made each
winter. The necessary territory could be pro-
cured by condemnation, at a less cost than is
proposed to be paid to extend the CAPITOL
grounds one square. ].
