AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical Investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by all civilized ma
tions, proves them the best and most
effectual purgativc Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
effectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tions, where a mild but efiectual
cathartic is required.
For sale by all druggists.

The Wonderful Efficacy of
DR.. SCHENCK'S
Mandrake Pills !

Has been frequently aud satisfactorily proven
that it seems almost superfiuous to say anything
more in their favor. The immense and constantly
increasing demand for them, both in this and for
eign countries is the best evidence OF their value
Their sale to-day in the United States il far greater
than any other cathartic medicine. This demand
is not spasmodic il is regular and steady. II il
not OF to-day or yesterday, it is an increase that
has been steadily growing for the last thirty five
years. What the reasons for this great and
growing demand
curry, aud yet they act with wonderful effect upon
the liver. They cleanse the stomach and bowels of
all irritating matter, which if allowed to remain
poisOns the blood, and brings ON Malaria Chills
and Fever and many other diseases. They give
health and strength IN the digestive organs They
create appetite and give vgor to the whole system.
They in fact the medicine of all others which
should be taken in times like the present, when
malarial and other epidemcs raging, they
prepare the system TO resist attacks of disease Of
every character.

The Pig and the Dog.
chambers Journal.

On account of his unsocial disposition.
the grey hound is so troub lesome as to be
excluded from many kennels. A game.
keeper in the north, having one of these
animals given into his charge, was for a
while tormented by his noise and miscon-
duct, and at last became obliged to turn
him out to wander wherever he pleased.
Now there happened to be pig on the
same premises which also enjoyed free
dom. To the establishment of everybody,
| these two formed a fast friendship, so
close that they fed together, slept together,
and kept constantly in company, without
the one ever showing the slightest hostility
toward the other. The dog, that had for
merly kept up perpetual quarrel among
his own race, now seemed anxious to &C
commodate himself to the ways of his new
friend; while the pig in his turn seemed
equally willing to stand high in the favor
of the hound. After this state of things
had gone on for some time, they came to
understand something of the natural gifts
of one another. Living on the confines of
| moor, where hares and rabbits abounded,
they soon began to do little quiet hunt
| ing on their own account. The hound be-
ing guided by sight more than by scent,
found most difficulty in starting his prey;
and here the pig, which appears to sbe en-
dowed with an excellent scent, came to his
assistance. Knowing what was required
of him, piggy would trace the hare or rab
bit to its lair, and then wait for his con-
pani0n to do the rest. Thus guided, the
hound would sometimes take the prey with
one bound, or if he failed in that, he gave
pursuit; and when the hare or rabbit was
captured, returned with it to the pig,
which Immediately tore it to pieces, to be
amicably devoured between them. The
keeper, obliged to put stop to this poach-
ing, confined the pig; but the hound
showed his constancy by following his
friend to the sty, where he lived with him
afterward on the best of terms. Although
the hound could leap over the sty rails with
the greatest ease, he never attempted to
supply the menage with more hares or rab-
hits

THE Bostonians are in an ecstasy. The
Princess Louise, at quiet little lunch with
Mayor Palmer, charmingly said to that
functionary that she thought Boston the
most beautiful of American cities, because
it was ''just English enough" to make her
feel quite at home. "And 1 like the Boston
people, too," said the pretty princess.
The aesthetic Hub is madly in love with
the fairest daughter of Britain's Queen,
and have invited her to take tea with them
often. They jabber glibly of the bleak
barrack cities of the blizzard swept West,
and the semi-Dutch metropolis at the
mouth of the Hudson, and put on airs that
are quite crushing and bewildering. Their
exquisite vanity conceals from sight and
sense the fact that the gracious princess
has given expression to the same royal
compliment to the various cities in which
it has pleased her ladyship to tarry for a
day. The Bostonian conceit, before un-
rivaled, is boundiess since it has seen a
live princess within its gates, and she has
safely passed its narrow streets.

CAPTURED the City,

Special Telegram to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 24.-W. w. Coles
immense circus opened the season last
night, and completely captiFated the city
by its unusual excellence. It is undoubtedly
the grandest and most novel exhibition
ever presented to the public, and embraces
a great number of features heretofore I'M
seen. The band of twelve Bedouin Arabs
created sensation, and their emarkable
performances far surpassed all that had
been claimed for them in the advertise
ment. Their acts and pyramids are really
astonishing, and utterly unlike anything
ever seen in the world. The city press
is unanimous and unstinted in its praise
of Coles great combination, which GER
tainly surpasses any tent show in exist
ence. Three circus rings and an ele-
waited stage are used. James Robinson,
the worlds champion rider, has been en-
gagged for the season at salary of $1,000
per week. 1t is predicted that even Bar
mum will hereafter be compelled to travel
in the shadow of Coles colossal enter
prise.

Stage drivers among the Rockies and
Sierras learn to be as peremptory as they
are daring, and probably from the same
necessity. They will have their orders
obeyed. We passengers were exceedingly
annoyed by the persistence with which
young Foss (the driver) demanded that the
stage doors be kept closed, particularly
when their being open caused an appreci-
able circulation of air.
Just as we were rounding a particular
narrow turn in the face of the cliff. Foss
noticed that the inside door was again be-
ing held ajar. Promptly putting on the
brakes and bringing his horses to halt,
he descended.
do you see that rock?" he said, point
ing to huge boulder ahead that barely
left room for the stage to pass.
''What ofit?"
'Only this. Last season was passing
that rock when somebody opened the
door. The door caught OH the rock, and
as it opened further just pried the whole
business over the cliff. That little speck
way down there is one of the hind wheels
caught on tree. Now, will you keep that
door shut?"

The Charges against Hill.

Assistant Secretary New, chairman of
the Hill investigating committee, received
to-day long letter from ex-Representa
tive Murch explaining his position with
reference to the pending investigation,
The letter is for the present withheld
from the press, but it is known that Mr..
Murch makes several objections to the
management of the investigation Of these
the most important is that the assistant
solicitor Robinson, who Mr.. Murch asserts
is partial to Mr.. Hill, is allowed to sit as a
member of the committee. When this
objection was made known to Secretary
Folger he at once conferred with Mr.
Robinson on the subject. The latter said
that while he felt sure he could act justly
and conscientiousIy in the investigation.
he was perfectly willing to withdraw if
there was least reason for such course.
Secretary Folger says that substitute for
Mir. Robinson will be selected in few
days, not because he feels slightest doubt
of the latter's perfect integrity, but in
order that no charge of favoritism can
possibly be made against any member of
the committee

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACES

The discussion of presidential candidates
is becoming quite animated, considering
the fact that more than year must elapse
before man can be Officially named by
the conventions of either party. There is
an unusually large crop of early birds who
are in quest of the presidential worm. but
it is by no means certain that any of those
so conspicuous in the public eye will be
able to seize upon it. The New York Sun
insists that Tilden is the only man who
will fully satisfy the country, while the
SUMS editor, Mr.. Dana, informs a San
Francisco reporter that he is not aware
that Mr.. Tilden is candidate. The Indi-
ana Democratic papers and public men
are unanimous in declaring that ex-senator
Mcdonald, of that state, is the man above
all others who VIII suit all sections and
