We Present No Pretended MiracIe-''Truth
IL Mighty and Must Prevail."-No soph-
istry Can Withstand the Power OF Its
Honest Utterance.
EDITOR OF THE PREss-Dear Sir: Feeling
deeply grateful for the great benefits which
have received from the use of a very valuable
article which has its origin and hcme in our
beautiful city, and hoping that others who are
afflicted as / have been may find like relief
from its use, beg the indulgence of few
lines in your valuable paper for the privilege
of communicating to you brief statement of
facts for the benefit Of the multitude of suf-
ferers TO he met with on every side. Many of
my friends well know that | have been very
severely afflicted with heart disease for n
number of years, and have suffered from 1t
as only those can suffer who have that dis
ease. 1t reduced my strength so low that
could scarcely walk across my room, and the
least exertion rendered me so ort-breathed
that dared scarcely move, aud life seemed
very burdensome. i was treated for my
malady by the best physicians, and derived
no benefit from their treatment or prescrip-
tions until was advised by my family physi-
clan to use Hunts Remedy, as my trouble
was caused by inaction of my kidneys, which
affected very seriously the action of my heart.
l commenced taking II (having little faith in
it or any other medicine), and it has helped
me wonderfully, and l am now great deal
better, and have been ever since began its
use. In fact / have taken no medicine that
has benefited me so greatly. My breathing
is easy, and have gained in strength SO much
that am able to do my housework. cheer
fully recommend Hunts Remedy to all who
may be afflicted as have been, or who are
suffering from general debility and nervous
prostration. Respectfully,
MRS. A. o. ROCKWELL,
Pearl Street, Providence, II. /.
A standard medicine for curing Brights
Disease Dropsy, Kidney, Bladder, and Gland
ular Maladies. is Hunts Remedy. Female
Weakness, Pain in the back and loins, Gravel
Diabetes, Intemperance, Excess, and Prostra-
tion of the nervous system are cured by
Hunts Remedy. Hunts Remedy imparts
health and vigor to the constitution when 1t
has become debilitated. Hunts Remedy re.
stores the invalid TO health.

English Theaters and Actors.


There are thirty-six theaters in London.
They represent an investment upon land Of
over 5000, ,000,000 in buildings Of S125. .000,000
and in other property sufficient to make up
the gross amount S500,000000. They employ
at least 10000 persons-actors, stage hands,
and people in front of the house. These are
in direct aud continual service. They give
indirectly employment to as many more. The
seating capacity is 10000. The average at
tendance each night is 51,004 as shown by
the Lord Chamberlain's reports. The aver
age admission is Is. Id, ha'penny, or 3s
cents. There are no performances given in
London that are better than the same per-
formances seen in San Francisco, except in
the matter of opera There are better cho-
ruses TO be had here, and larger ones can be
supported, out of the greater length of season.
But plays are no better, Tho American actor
is as good as his English fellow, and IL Is true
that there are no leading ladies upon the Eng
National Republican., 1883-05-15

lish stage who compare with the best leading
women Of America. There are half dozen of
the caliber Of Ellie Wilton, Eleanor Carey, and
so on, but there are none like Jeffreys Lewis,
Agnes Booth, Effio Ellsler, Annie Clark, En-
lily Rigl, Fannie Davenport, aud Rose Coghlan
The leading men are as good. There
are many better, indeed, and comedians and
soubrettes are about the same. Taken full
and large, the theaters are about the same In
both countries. except that the ladies in the
stalls and boxes must take of their hats. 1t
is splendid thing, but alas, they take off so
much Tho other night, from a box in tho
Princess, I looked down over the crowded
stalls. The display would disgrace an Arion
ball in New York, aud anything that will do
that will lead to the abolition of tho word
decency. II reminded me of dairy show.

"What sort Of horse was he 2"
"Roap, with white fetlocks."
How old was hop'
"About 10 years"
"Good work nag, reckon"
"First-rate."
"Are you certain that no has white fet-
locks ?"
Certainly. Have you seen anything of

"No, 1 amt soon him"
:" Have you heard any one speak of seeing
him2'
"Yos since you mention it, think have.

with white fctlocks.'
"Thats my horse DO you know the

"Where do you suppose can find him ?"
