EXPERIENCE.

MEssRs. j. c. AVER Co., Gentlemen:
Last winter was troubled with most uncom-
Portable itching humor affecting more especially
my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night
and burned so intensely, that could scarcely bear
any clothing over them. I was also a sufferer
from a severe catarrh and catarrhal cough my
appetite was poor, and my system good deal run
down. Knowing the value of AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, by observation of many other cases, and
from personal use in former years. | began taking
it for the abOve-named disorders. My appetite
improved almost from the first dose. After a
short time the fever and itching were allayed and
all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared NY
eataTrh and cough were also cured by the same
means, and my general health greatly improved
until it is now excellent. l feel hundred per
cent stronger, and attribute these results to the
use of the SARSAPARILLA, which / recommend
with all confidence as the best blood medicine
ever devised. / took it in small doses three
times day and used, in ALL less than two bottles

publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, Z.P. WILDs."

Though there are four profusely illustrated
paper in the June Century, and four full-page
pictures, this number of the magazine is per
haps even more notable for its literary features
than for its pictures. OF special interest is
Miss Fanny Stones Diary of an American
Girl in Cairo during the Ware of 1882. 1t is
vivid and remarkable narrative of the life OF
General c P Stones family during the month
that mother and daughters were exposed in
Cairo to the greatest uncertainties and dangers,
while General Stone was at his post with the
Kledive, and aiding in the English operations
against Arab.
President Eliot, of Harvard, discusses the
question, What is Liberal Education? in
which he claims that the sciences and English
should be given leading places in the school
and also in the college course. In paper on

OBJECTS TO BALL PLAYERS.
A Suit Intended TO Break Up the Athletic
Base BALL Park.

The Washington Base Ball club is likely to
be "downed" by an opponent more powerful
than a nine of ball players. An effort is be-
ing mado to cut into Athletic park and
destroy their grounds, which would be equiv
alent, at this time in the season, to breaking
up the club.
Messrs. II. J. Miller and F. w. Jones, as
attorneys for w. +. Slinoy, yesterday filed a
bill in equity against Mr. Henry A. Willard,
l.. Monkey, and the district commissioners,
praying an injunction to prevent the closing
of the streets and alleys in square 1862 which
is better known as Athletic park. The COM
plainant states that he owns land in square
361, with u fronting on Il street, and then
proceeds to say that when George w. Riggs
purchased square 1862 there was an alley in
it fifteen feet wide, and Mr.. Riggs dedicated
several of the lots for public use which the
city authorities recognized by improving the
north sido of S street. Subsequently Mr..
A. S. II. Cissell became the grantee Of the
land and laid out street through the
square, which was called Logan street. In
1876 Mr.. Henry Willard became the grantee
and changed the name Of the street to West
minister, but the complainant says that Mr..
Willard has undertaken TO grant to Mr..
Monkey the use of the whole square to the
loss, damage, and inconvenience Of the citi-
zens generally; that Mr.. Monkey has OBJ
structed all of the public ways and main
tans the same for carrying on games which
attract great crowds of disorderly people,
Injuries tho value of the adjacent property,
and greatly annoys the peaceable and quiet
residents in the vicinity.

trim nurserymaids, with their wee

parks and prOmenaded or wheeled
their carriages over the shaded
and graveled walks. Some of tho babies
took morning and evening trips down the
river on the ferry steamers, and enjoyed the
delightful Potomac breezes. At night the
parks were well filled with Sparkling"
couples and strangers who enjoyed the rustic
scenery illuminated by many dazzling cleo

there is but little oleomargarine or butterine
in the market. The professor will probably
