Where turks the danger, never swerving
In all the world perhaps there's not
cure like DR. kichmond's NERyINE.
As in the blood diseases lie;
Each artery, each vein, each curve in;
There's nothing makes i'll humor fly,
Like the SAMARITAN NERvINE.
For old or young, for rich or poor
Whatever class of life you serve in,
To health wide open is the door,
From the SAMARITAN NERvINE.
Then, do you value sire Myth and health,
And think these blessings worth preserving
Better than all Golconda's wealth,
Is Dr. Richmond's SAMARITAN NERvINE.

ONE THING SHE FORGOT.

A good Story is told OF prominent member
of society who had habit of ty ing knot in
her pocket handkerchief when she wished to fix
something 10 her mind that must be ATTENDED
to. She was engaged in desperate Irritation
on certain occasion, and in her abstraction
dropped the handkerchief on the floor. This
was noticed by her hostess, who endeavored to
break up the Irritation by inviting her guest in
to another part of the house. AS the latter
rose from the chair she stopped and picked up
her handkerchief, noticing as she did so the
knot in the corner. "N hat have l forgotten
today" she asked, audibly. "That you have
husband" replied her hostess. The story was
repeated, and the lady, who is prominent
member of the diplomatic circle, always keeps
her handkerchief free from knots now.-[ Wash

The Bijou Opera Company will ap-
pear at Moore's Opera House this
| Thursday evening, June 18th, in
''Olivette. This company has played
! in all the largest cities of the United
States, where they have been enthusi-
astically received. They have several
of the finest singers in the country
with them. In speaking of their per-
formance in the play entitled "The
Mascot" the Florida Times Union says:
The favorite Biious met the warm
welcome they may always expect from
a jacksonville audience on their return
to Park Theatre last night. In their
travels they have lost nothing of their
brightness, and their voices have evi-
IDENTIFY suffered nothing from our eli
mate. That they made such success
OF the Mascot without chorus or
orchestra is sufficient proof of ability
and merit of which the delighted audi
| ence gave constant and hearty recogni-
ton. Mr.. Hamilton, as Prince Of PiOnl-
bilO, was in fine voice, and gave such
wonderful exhibition of his deep basso,
that in the scrap of the 'Old Sexton
introduced in medley almost caused
the house to ''rise to him The fav
orites of the audience were plainly Miss
Randall, as The Mascot, Miss Carrie
Tutein, as Fianettd, and Mr.. Pepper as
Pippo. Miss Randall's voice is pure
and clear, always smooth and always
sweet, particularly in the high register
Miss Tutein. in the eNtravaganzas and
raptures of her really difficult part, is
vivid without exaggeration, while the
clear mellow tenor of Mr.. Pepper is
always enjoyed. In the two duets with
Bettin0 they carried the house with
them.n

Thieves attempted to enter the resi-
dence of Mrs. Everingham, on Wash
ington street, few nights ago. Ahole
was cut in pane of glass in the shed
window, but before further progress
was made the rascals became fright
ened and fled. The hole in the window
pane is similar to those cut in the East
avenue residences where burglaries
were committed few weeks since
1t was probably made by the same
parties who committed those robberies.
One of these days the authors of these
rascally proceedings will be brought to
light and justice.
