ALTHOUGH many are predisposed to lung
troubles from birth, yet even such may es-
c.pe consumption, or other pulmonary or
Bronchial disease, if due care and watchful-
ness be observed, and all exciting causes are
promptly treated as they arise. II il in these
cases DR.. Jayne's E1pectorant exercises its
most beneficial effects, and has produced the
largest proportion of its cures. Besides
promptly removing coughs and colds, which,
when left 10 themselves, are the immediate
causes of tuberculous development, this
standard remedy allays any infammatio
which may exist, and by promoting easy ex-
pee orstion, cleanses the lungs of the SUBJ
stances which clog them up, and which rap
idly destroy when suffered to remain.

CONFIDENCE
Absolutely indispensable in the
Relations Between. Buyer and
Seller is Confidence.
But Confidence in What? Every
Child in this Intelligent Age
Understands Quality.
1t is Confidence in Style and
Value that is Required
Nowadays.

And in whom, OF all the Memphis Dry
Goods aud Millinery Merchants is placed
the confidence OF the Memphis public
as regards Style and Taluei For these
qualities KREMEIS are pre-emiaent.
Outside Of New York and Paris, there
exists no such establishment.
To be undoubtedly First in Style and
Taste even our bitterest opponents con.
cede this.
To be ahead in enterprise, and now to
come to the front and sell goods cheaper
than the cheapest, we preserve all oil
good we have inherited and add thereto
the ben eflcial features which have made
the distinguished success Of the greatest
Northern and Eastern Merchants.

An audience that filed The dress-circle and
parquetie heard The Maseetc rendered last
night by H.verly's Opera Company, and a
delightful performance it was. To Haverly's
Infinite credit be lit said that he mas never
sent out an inferior company in minstrelsy,
the drama or opera, and his success has,
therefore, been we'll deserved. While the
cast Of lsst night was not remark
able for vocal ability it was well
trained and worked with the precision ana
harmony of machine. The orchestra Of
eight pieces added TO that Of the Tbeater
lent a valuable assistance, and served to
bring out the full meaning OF the composer
as it has never been done here before. The
chorus of sixteen voices was held we'll in
hand and proved fully equal to
the important duty it had to per-
form, and the costumes were exceedingly
rich and tasteful. Miss Ds,a Wiley made a
friend of the audience at once by the spirit
aud Irresistible jellity of her "Beltina." She
really seems TO enjoy playing the part, as if
the whole opera were big Fourth Of July
picnic and she the leader of the merry
makers Her voice is pleasing, though
not of extra quality or range, and
abe uses it skillfully. The "Gobble, Gobble"
song, which she sang with Charley Drew, was
eneored three times. Apropos of Drew, he

Mine Ventilation In the Kanawha.

To the Editor Of The IntelIt1a'ceT.
stn-It appears that the mining law
passed by the legislative body Of this State
Is a mere dead letter, for ! can assure you
that the air in the coal mines around here
las never been so bad as 1t is at present,
and will still continue to be so as long as
incompetent parties are employed. The
law says the boss or the manager OF coal
mine must DO competent perssn and
have a knowledge OF the different gases
and the amount Of air to circulate through
mine to render these gases harmless
Now, sir, such Is not the case. We have
men managing coal mines In this valley
tba. know nothing OF ventilation, aud the
boss under them is nothing better. Now
sir, the Kanawha mines are in dreadful
condition fol, the want OF sufficient air, and
also the Unon Coal Company's mine. The
miners in these mines would like that the
Mine Inspector would visit them immedi.
atcly. His visit TO the above mines would
be hailed with delight by the miners.
