In reading over the literary items OF
the week, found not much to interest
me, until my eye caught sight OF an
article headed "Jenks' Dream" lmag-
inc my surprise to find it ended up with
a recommendation TO use DR.. Plerces
Pleasant Pellets. Nevertheless, being
a great sufferer from sick headache,
determined to try them. and, TO my great
JOY, found prompt relief, and by their
protracted use, complete immunity
from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
cathartic, according to size of dose.
As a pleasant laxative, take one each
night on retiring. For adults, four act
as an active, yet painless, cathartic.

.sThe Fakir'' a, the oper.-House.

There is confessedly little or no plot to "The
Fakir" II is purely andsimply hodge podge
OF mirth, music and dance, with an unusual
abundance of speciality interpretations as its
stoutest thread of merit. The plot hinges upon
the adventures of Seth Boxer, street fakir,
who, having accumulated a fortune, retires to
the country to enjoy it. incidentally, the love
scrapes OF an impetuous daughter, who becomes
an actress, and the loss of the fakir's wealth,
with his return to the drudgery of vending
patent medicines, help to give the story SEM
blance OF congruity. Nevertheless, the audience
10 requested, ina printed notice on the handful,
not to carry away any portion of the plot Will
lam F. Mack, a quaint original and well-liked
comedian, acts in the capacity of chief caterer.
His efforts at all times wholesome and effect
i've. In the role of Seth Boxer his versatile tai
ents are allowed full scope. The other members
of the cast are well-known comedians. and do
great work in adding to the un-making. The
scenery and costumes are especially fine. The
whole Is q clear, humorous performance that
win afford plenty of innocent amusement.

In reality are the only women in the
world who know how to cross a muddy
street effectively, so says a writer in the
New York Star, and in this connection it
may not be out of place to state that the
name and fame of Wisdom's Robertine is
known from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The demand for this elegant toilet article
has spread so rapidly that it can now be
had in every city, town and hamlet in the
United States, likewise in many foreign
countries, a position it never could have
attained did it not possess rare and I'M
questionable merit. 1t beauties and
preserves the complexion, repairs the dam
ages done by the use of the many danger
Gus compounds now in the market, and
by its tonic and stimulating effects re-
stores the skin to a natural, healthy &C
ton. Wisdom's Robertine is as harmless
as morning dew, as subtle in its action as
the magician's wand. and as invisible-save
the bloom and delicacy it gives to the
cheek-as the air we breathe. Read the

NEW BOOKS.

Messrs. O. X McClung 4 Company, of
Chicago, have performed an act which mus-
cal enthusiasts will thank them for in repub.
fishing Elizabeth Sheppard's romance of
"Charles Auchester," by Elizabeth Upton.
This story which has had a curious history
and was written as q memorial to Mendelssohn,
was first published in England in 1883. 1t
was dedicated to Disraeli, who in thanking
the author for the compliment said of the
work; "No greater book will ever be written
upon music, and it will one day be recognized
the imaginative classic of that divine art.n
1t was not a success In England, however, and
only after America had welcomed it with high
favor did the authors native country give it at
tention and approval. The present edition is
in two handsome volumes with an introduction
"The Standard Operas, ~ ''Womau in Music,n
and other works. The book is on sale at
Brentano's.
The fifth and concluding volume of Chou
lers "History of the United States of Amer
lea Under the Constitution" has been issued
by Dodd, Mead u Co. and received from j. j.
Decker, OF street. The period covered by
this volume begins with the administration
of Polk and the Mexican war, and closes with
the Inauguration of Lincoln. In a note pre-
fixed to the volume the author says: "Wheth
or the pleasant labor of these many years be
well or Ill performed, | may claim without in
ordinate vanity that the first era of our ma
tional and Independent existence has been
traced out for the first time, and the long in
tervening chasm bridged from the revolution
to the civil war, with historical painstaking,
in the five volumes of the present work.
Others may have undertaken the task, but
they have not $50 far as | am aware) per-
formed it; nor have 1 profited in any way by
their investigations, whether conducted be-
fore or after me-" The author says he would
like to add one more volume so as to bring
the narrative down to 1868; sbut the literature
of the civil war is already very great, and l
am admonished at my time of life not to at
tempt to add to it,
