DRUGS AND MEDICINES.
AYERS PILLS.

large proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange-
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
AYERS CATHARTIC PILLS act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange-
ment, including Constipation, Indiges-
ton, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and host of other ailments for all of
which they are safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
PILLS by eminent physicians in regular prac-
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profess
sion.
These PILLS are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
LAYERS PILLS are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. l have been
severe sufferer from Headache and your
PILLS are the only thing L could look to
for relief One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
have ever found. 1t is a pleasure to me to
speak i'll their praise, and l always do so
when occasion offers.

81 have used AYERS PILLS in number
less instances as recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.

The REV. FRANCIS B. HAR1owE. writing
from Atlanta, Ga, says: "For some wears
past l have been subject to constipation,
from Which, in spite of the use of medi-
cines of various kinds, l suffered increasing
Inconvenience, until some months ago I
began taking AYERS PILLS. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health"
AYERS CATHARTIc PILLS correct irregu-
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe-
tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.

"OUR AUNT, THE GRANDE SIGNORA.'
BY JENNIE MARSH PARKER.

In one of the magnificent salons of the
Rochester Art Gallery there hangs the por-
trait of noble Venitian matron, by Tie
pelo; "the last and nameless relic of once
proud family, whose lineage and name
have passed from all knowledge if not
from existence as the catalogue tells
us.
In another apartment are several rare
old paintings, supposed to have belonged
to the private collection of the Grande
Signora; Venitian views many of them;
two landscapes by Salvador Rosa, and seve-
raj family portraits by Tiepolo. The an
cient possessor hangs in more modern
company;-Knaus, Bonguereau-De Bufe;
a gallery of famous artists, whose work
she seems contemplating with sufferance
bearing on scorn, fairly dilating her high
beaked nose at the plebian effrontery pre-
suming to study her folds and draperies,
simply because Tiepolo was said to have
caught the manner OF Paul Veronese.
Tiepolo died more than a hundred years
ago. The Grande Signora lives in his por
trait, and that with no other name than
"231." 1t was well, perhaps, she did not
foresee all this when as a rarely preserved
woman of sixty, at least, she put on that
-bosomed gown and took up her prayer
book to pose for her portrait. "231-name
and lineage lost forever" Imagine her, a
descendant of the Doges, her merchant
vessels on every sea, sitting before Tie
polo's easel and hearing that prophecy.
s'How severed her life is from ours.
How dreadful dead she is, said sweet,
pitying voice in my ear one evening at
reception at the Art Gallery. "Not one
thread of her history in to-day. If we
could find one I imagine it would be''-
and the speaker paused a moment, adding
under her breath, 'Just bit gory-don't
you?"

''Dear Sir:-I have read your letter with
amazement and indignation. There is but
one mitigation to the perfidy which it dis
closes, and that is found in the fact that
you confess your share in it. l do not
know whether you are Democrat or not,
but if you are, the crime which you confess
is the more objectionable. The idea that
this Administration pledged to give the
people better government and better Off
GERS, and engaged in hand-to- hand fight
with the bad elements of both parties
should be betrayed by those who ought to
be worthy Of implicit trust, is atrocious,
and such treason to the people and to the
party ought to be punished by imprison-
ment. Your confession comes too late to
be of any immediate use to the public serv-
ice, and can only say that while this is not

led by lying and treacherous representa-

frankly owned his grievous fault.

New YORK, August 5.-The Times spe-

Cleveland recently appointed certain
Judge in whose favor very numerously-
signed petion had been fled. He soon af-
terward received the following letter:
"Dear Sir:-Received letter from per-
son who had signed q petition in favor of
the appointment. 1t declared that the ap-
pointee was an unfit man for judge; that
the community were disgusted with
the choice, and that the writer and others
had merely signed the petition to get rid of
the applicant, knowing his unfitness; and
never dreamed that such man had any
chance for the appointment"

A DANISH STUART,

Revolution Threatened Owing to the
EucrOachmeuts OF the King ON the
Rights of the Parliament and People.
CoPENHAGEN, October 20. The long con.
tinued arbitrary policy OF King Christian in
refusing to dismiss the Estrupp cabinet in COM
pliance with a vote of parliament, and levying
alleged unconstitutional taxes because parlia-
ment refused to vote the budget, has led TO q
number of serious riots and imposing demon
STATIONS in Copenhagen against the king
and the Estrupp ministry. The people seem
determined that their representatives in parlia-
ment shall have some voice in the affairs of the
government, and have become SO threatening
in their demands that the King has ordered the
garrison at Copenhagen to be largely enforced.
These popular manifestations are not confined
to Copenhagen alone, but are general through
out Denmark. 1t is expected that state OF
siege will be declared, and it is feared that q
revolution will ensue If the King persists i'm re-
fusing the concessions asked by parliament. A
numDer OF political arrests have been made
tending to further incite the people and blood
shed is anticipated.
