No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer

perhaps from a trifing or unconscious eN-
posture, is often but the beginning of a fata
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

Of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, a bottle of

A Timbuctoo Slave on Sale.

This girl was brought in by the Mo-
rocco gate, on the road from the City Of
Morocco. She was comedy of face and
figure, with large, dreamy, lovely eyes.
and streaming, long, black hair. Her
color was of the oliyian type, which
showed the red blood coursing in the
veins. She was of medium hight, and
aged about Is years. Four old Arab
dealers" CARRIED in all the glitter and
tinsel of the Orient, guarded this girl
as if she were an Amazon of strength
and prowess. One old Arab in a loud
voice cried out her merits and nation
atty as the group passed On TO the CEN
ter of the town. Hating, the whole
party we're suddenly surrounded by in
tending buyers, both Christian and Pa
gan. They came up to the crouching
girl, pulled her arms to and fro, open
ed her mouth and looked at her teeth,
made her stand erect and then haggled
over the price. @She worth 800" say
the Arab dealers in one simultaneous
sly. "but will let her go for $50 if you
take her now" Our dragoman trans
lates and tells how she will go to Egypt
and fetch 5000 at a first bid From a
Morocco letter.

The Hebrew Girl.

The Hebrew girl, except among the
wealthy and most thoroughly American.
lied families, lives in a state of semi
oriental seclusion. When she is &C
curing her education, it is true, she
may go to the public school, but even
there the teachings of home are strong
upon her, and she is not SO free with
her boy companions as is her Christian
contemporary. Her school days oEce
over she becomes q home bird to a very
crest extent. 1t is not proper, accord
ing to Jewish etiquette, for her to ac-
cept an invitation to a theater from q
young man to whom she is not engaged.
liz she does it is Immediately taken for
granted that the couple are engaged.
If she goes to a soclable or party her
brother or some other member of her
family is almost invariably her escort,
though, once arrived at the place of
merriment, she mixes as freely with
those about her as do Christian girls.
Her jollity on such occasions is moon
fined, and sometimes smacks of old
time Methodist heaTtiness. The kiss
ing games Of our ancestors are occasion
ally introduced with effect, and she
proves herself one of the most lively
and charming of girls, a perfect romp
in fact. The party over, however,
away she goes home in charge of her
brother, whose place no young man can
usurp unless he engages himself to her.

General Beauregard.

General Beauregard is daily seen
on Canal Street, New Orleans. He is
of short stature, the Bostan Transcript
says, with white hair, mustache and inn
perial, and, Notwithstanding his adj
vanced years, he is as nimble, and cheer
full as many men years his junior. The
general walks back and forth from his
home, winter and summer and can be
found almost any time at the club, of
which he has long been a member, dis
GUESSING the past with lis friends and
inmates. Unless directly questioned,
he never refers to the scenes or causes
of the late war, and altogether he is q
courtly gentleman Of the old school,
with the pride of both, but none of the
petty meannessess which not infrequent-
~ crop out In the latter-day paryenues
and Goldfish aristocracy. General
B~eauregard has recently suffered a great
bereavement in the death of a daughter,
the wife Of one of the most prominent
citizens of New Orleans, and since the
sad event he has aged rapidly.

A sKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of a
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed Ivy Professor Billroth, Of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal OF portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly one.third of the organ-and
strange TO say, the patient recovered
1.-The only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is a peculiar indies.
ribable distress in the stomach, a feel
ing that has been described as Il faint
"dU rome" sensations; sticky slime col
lccts about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste Food fails TO satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary it
appears TO aggravate the feeling. The
eyes arc sumkcn, tiuged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired ali the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After q time the pa.
ticnt becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore
bodlngs. When rising suddenly from
a recumbcnt position there is n dizziness,
n whstlng sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at times the blood becom.
Ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After II time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmcntcd con.
dition, sometimes swedish to the taste.
Oftcntimes there is Il palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the mites.
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with TIE above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety.ninc cases out OF II
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia n disease easily removed If
treated in a proper manner The safest
and best remedy for the disease is

This Syrup strikes at the very founda.
ton OF the disease and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system.

On Monday, September I, 1884, the
Perry Union School commences its
fourth year. Through the three years
of its work, its success, as shown by
the large and constantly increasing
attendance of home and foreign pu-
pills, has been such as to place it
among the leading schools, of the
County. During the last school year
fifty-six foreign pupils from adjoining
districts, townships, and counties,
were enrolled among its numbers. 1t
is intended to make the instruction in
all departments thorough and practi-
cal. To accomplish this end, suitable
apparatus will be used. Further, the
school has in view what it deems the
true end of study TO accomplish,
namely, development first, and Sec
ondly, acquisition of knowledge. The
rules are discarded and the principles
solved !; the judgment called forth,
and not the memory crammed.
Among its special objects, also, is
that Of imparting to its pupils taste
for good literature which will shape
the channel of their adult reading.
