can pay for it, and he never wants it I'M
less 1t Is necessary to have it for his con-
Venlence. If we want to borrow, our
ability to get it is measured by the con-

THE VENOMOUS BREATH OF MA

Does not infect the system of those who
use IIostetter's Stomach Bitters as n
precaution against it. Nor is it less use
full as II remedy where intermittent and
remittent fever has fully established it
self, in consequence of neglect of pre-
vcntiye measures. 1t checks the paroX-
ysms with astonishing certainty, and
cradicates this type Of disease, even in
its most inveterate form. This medicine
is an especial boon to the emigrant pop
ulatiOn of the far west, where fevers of
malarial type are particularly preva-
lent, but the recognition of its merits is
so far from being limited, that it is
known and appraised at its true value
throughout the length and breadth Of
America. Travellers by land and sea,
miners and sojourncrs i'll unhealthy To-
calities, esteem it highly, and are its
most constant purchasers, and in many a
rural household. far and wide, it is the
chosen family specific.

The Spectator, commenting upon the
situation ut Constantinople, says:
The world has been so saturated with
Turkish horrors that it has lost all sense
of proportion and regards the recent dos-
ings as regrettabie street incident
Yet, in fact the massacre of last week
was probably the greatest in modern
history; and one of the bloodicst deeds i'm
history has been committed in the face
of Europe, ana Europe can think of Moth
ing better to do to punish the perpetra-
tors than to keep their embassies dark
upon the sultan's fete day. If the pow
ers would only agree. the Marquis of
Salisbury would doubtless use the force
of England to punish the perpetrator or
tolerator of the massacre. Ideally the
best course would be to partition Turkey,
and failing in this, why can not the pow
crs agree to dcposc the sultan and place
his brother or some other suitable person
on the throne? l.: this way the statu
quo would be preserved and the Turks

WORLDS GREATEST SHOWS.
Ringing Bros Circus to Exhibit in This
City Shortly.

Ringing Bros Worlds Greatest
Elbows, now everywhere acknowledged by
press and public to be the biggest and
best of all arenic exhibitions, viii eX-
hibit in Austin again in the near future.
The performances to be given in this city
will be identical in every way with those
presented ut the immense TattersalPs
Amphtheatre, in Chicago, for forty-iive
consecutive performances, during which
the great structure was crowded day and
night by thousands of enthusiastic spec
tators. The public has learned to assoc
ciate the name of Ringling Brothers with
all that is great in the amusement line,
and the show itself is a guarantee of its
excellence. An original feature of Ring
ling Bros Shows is the fact that Moth
ing is advertised that is not presented iia
the performance precisely as aEnounced.-
Another departure particularly com
mcndable in this day of equiyocaiion and
misrepresentation, when so many shows
are masquerading under obsolete titles.
is the fact that the show is owned, CON-
trolled. managed and accompanied. by rs
five famous propretors, who make u
their personal pleasure to look after the
comfort of their patrons, and thus guard
them from the impositions that are too
frequently permitted by other managers,
Circus day will be naugurated with
grand street parade, in which all the bril-
liant professional features of the show
will be exhibited free upon the city's
streets

4 Relic Of Washington.

There is o movement on the part o,
quite a large number Of the residents
Of Princeton, N. j., to rescue from
oblivion the ancient structure in
which George Washington resided
during the summer and fall Of j7S3,
when Congress was in session at
Princeton. 1t was in the old Berrien
mansion at Rocky Hill that Washing
ton lived and from which be wrote
his farewell address TO the army. An
organization has been formed by the
leading people of Princeton and other
towns in the State known as the
Washington Headquarters Associa-
ton. At q recent meeting a Board of
Trustees was elected from the promi-
nent Revolutionary families of the
State. Measures were taken looking
to the purchase of the old mansion
and two acres of land adjoining, and
it is proposed TO restore the building
aud make OF it o museum OF Washing
ton relics. At present the bulldog is
in a dilapidated condition and8 sub
ject to further destructioS by the
blasting that is continually ygoing on
in the quarries Of the K6teeazessill Stone
Quarry Company, located -djacent.
It was resolved to offer the company
$1,000 for tho building and two acres
of ground, and to refuse to accept the
building on any other conditions than
that it remain on its present historic
site .-Atlanta Constitution.
