The readers Of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one dread.
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO much
faith in its curative powers, that they

that it fails to cure. Send for list of tes-

Mayor Quincy c' Boston has suggested
that the city should build a municipal Gre
matory in which to incinerate the bodies
of paupers, criminals and others whose
burial devolves upon the city. The idea is
to do away altogether with the Potter's
Field. 1t was asserted, says the Medical
Record, that the city could cremate bod
les at cost Of only 81 each, while it costs
50 to dig grave. The present Potter's
Fields will be filed before the expiration
OF the present year. Tho burials now
amount to about 500 year, and increase
in number yearly.

THE DUTCH HOUSEWIFE.

The Dutch woman is before and

her love of home comes very near akin

ment that can be paid to her is to praise
the neatness and sweetness of the
house that is her kingdom, says the
Girls Realm. She is famous all the
world over for her remarkable cleanii-
ness, and even in the very poor quar-
ters Of the cities, where the houses are
small and crowded together, the win
dows are daintily decked with cur
tains Of spotless white, the rooms we'll

carefully busted and polished.

Nor does she shirk these duties, as it
is to be feared SO many Of her English

PRINCE RoNApARTE'S PAROLE.
His Challenge to CoEnt Fa!kensteih
in Connection Herewith was
Not Accepted.

One OF the incidents of the career OF
thelate Prince Charles BonGparte about
which there is much obscurity is his
imprisonment in Germany and release
on parole, says the Paris Messenger.
The prince distinguished hi--5cit IL tho
Franco-Prussian war by his bravery at
the battles Of Boony, Bezonville and
Grayclotte, where he was decorated
with the cross OF the Legion Of Honor
he was made prisoner and sent with
several other officers to Germany,
where they were released on parole.
During their captivity, however, the
prisoners We're treated with very little
considcra ton, and at the beginning Of
February, 1851, Prince Bonaparte wrote
a letter to Gen. Won Werder in which he
declared that he had no wish for liberty
dishorored by insult, and demanded to
be put in a cell. No notice having been
taken of this letter, Prince Bonaparte
wrote a second time, taking back his
word of honor not to escape. He was
thereupon arrested and imprisoned in
the fortress of Koenigsberg and after
ward conveyed to the fortress Of Bozen'
on the Russian frontier. Gen. Count
Falkenstein then published and com
municatel to the press an order Of the
day, in which he accused Prince Bona
parte of having broken his word OF
honor. When the prince was set at
liberty at the end of the war he ad-
dressed letter to Count Falkenstein,
which amounted to challenge. The
count, however, did not accept it.
