It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic, and other poisonous minerals form the basis of most of" the "Fever and Ague Prepara tions." "Specifics," "Syrups," and "Ton ics," in the market. The preparations made from these mineral poisons, although they are palatable, and may break the chill, do not cure, but leave the malarial and their own drug poison in the system, producing quinism, dizziness, ringing in the ears, head ache, vertigo, and other disorders more for midable than the disease they were intended to cure. Ayeu's Ague Cure thoroughly eradicates these noxious poisons from the system, and always cures the severest cases. It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing that could injure the most delicate patient; and its crowning excellence, above its cer- -in-j -mi, mai it leavea the svstem as woiu uisease as be lore the attack.

Kendall & Co., Gents : In reply to your letter 1 will say that my experience with Kendall's Spavin Cure has been very satisfac tory indeed. Three or four years ago I procur ed a bottle of your agent, and with it cured a horse of lameness caused by a spavin. Last season my horse became very lame, and I turn ed him out for a fw weeks when lie became better ; but when I put him on the road he got worse, when I discovered that a ring-bone was lorming. 1 procured a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cure, and with less than a bottle cured him so that he is not lame, neither can the bunch be found.

JAMES A. GARFIELD, OF OHIO. ' . FAToritc TToolcn Fabrics All wool niaterials aro reproduced this season in many of the old favorite fabrics, such as camel's hair, cheviot suitings, delaine, bcrc.c, and cash mere, while lighter grades of all wool textures are designated as abbess cloth or nun's vailing, challic, drap d'Al batros, Japan tis3iio or batiste, also called scrum cloth in the lteavior, coarser qualities, while many of tha flannel-finished fabrics appear under new titles, such a3 rustic cloth, camp cochcr, etc. Canton pongee is of a light ecru tint bordering on white; French pongee is darker, bordering on old gold or drop de cochcr, is about twice the width of the Canton good?, and is sold in patterns of nine yards and three-quarters. Batiste do toilo is also sold in patterns of five vards f-cach, the plain batiste to make up with this being sola va any quantity to suit tho purchaser. Cashmere em broidered robes arc among tho latc;t imported novelties, being elaborate hand or machine embroideries of grays, drabs, old gold, and ivory white on a solid colored ground ; tho pattern forms inverted castellated points, which are united by a illc Ulet, combining the same colors as the flosses used in the embroidery and the material of the robe. The bottom of each Ulet is finished with small tas sels, corresponding in color with tlio rest of the work. These robes form the overdress to any plain colored skirt taste may suggest, sapphire blue velvet or satin forming an admirable contrast. Canton pongee is made up in combination with the same fabric, embroidered in crewels in cross stitch, or with a garniture of cut work of batiste and silk floss of tho same tint, resembling the guipure embroideries so much used on children's clothing. i Maaa Silks and Satins. Notwithstanding the extravagant display of Oriental mixtures in all wool and silk and wool materials, black is by no moans discarded in the category of choice fabrics. On the contrary, silk and satin bid fair to hold permanent empire among that class of people who are popularly supposed to be "clothed in purple and fine linen every day." Among this class of goods a satin La Heine is one of the latest novelties, and is shown iu the exquisite changeable combinations ofoldgoldon turquoise or sapphire blue, straw berry-milk on garnet, gar net on pheasant or seal-brown, and in all solid colors, except black, the sur faco is twilled, but the finish is satin. One sido presents tho changeable shades, and the other tho solid color. Satin de Lyon, duchesse, soleil, and June are all diilerent weaves of this rich fabric, whicn is made up in com bination with Windsor corded satin, cachemirc, sublime dcNovi silk, una satin shaded brocades. Windsor cord iuga aro vertical striped satins, the stripes being a littlo wider than the old hair linc3 6ccn in silks, one stripe being raised and the other depressed, to produce tho corded effect. Satin brocades have a smooth finished satin surface, upon which, cither raised sat iu or velvet designs, alone or in com bination with silk, form a rich and effective contrast. Polka dots of all grades, from the size of a bird's eye up to a silver dime, are in these brocades, whilo other designs represent wheat, wild roses, magnolias, willows, fusch ias, and brocho effects. All of these designs aro seen in colored silks and satin3, either in 6elf colorings or in. bright tints, upon a solid colored background. Imprime, or printing, is one of the old methods revived for Xroduciug thess effects, which are novel, beautiful, and choice, not only as seen in satins and 6ilks, but also iu challie and cashmere, whero not only many of the above patterns are repro duced, but original designs, such as the bric-a-brac, menagerie, aquatic, etc., whilo Chinese, Japanese, palm, and jardiniere patterns aro quite 03 popular &3 of ola. The Uerniaa Theater. Several well-known capitalists are arranging to build a new (1it.vui theater in Xer York. They have formed an association, among the mem bers being Edward K. Ilnibitsehek, lleinrich Zeimcr, Philip Klein, Wil helm II. Stafford ami Max II. Huibil chek. The charter was received la-t month. The capital stock is 300,000, of which over $100,000 is already sub scribed. The site selected for the building is the northeast corner f 3d avenue and 14th street. The building will be an elaborate edifice iu the Re naissance style, 2ii by 103 feet on the ground. The central part will be the theater, the section fronting on 31 av enue a large concert hall, and the L adjoining the theater proper on 14i.lt street will be an immense summer garden. These two parts vary iu height from seventy to eighty "feet. A dome will crown the theater. Tue 6ummer garden will be of glass, with a framework of iron, and elaborate designs in metal will be relieved by a display ot exotics and growing plants. Tlie stage of the theater will measure seventy-five feet by forty-eirht, an I it will be adjacent to the garden and 60 constructed that it cai bo reversed and used in the garden iu summer for light comedies, opperetlas, etc. Such an organization should, and will meet with success. The Germans are an amusement loving people, and tho wealthy of this class freely patron ize first-class eiitertainmeuts, and are always among tho first to subscribe liberally towards projects that ad vanco tho legitimate drama or opera. "t"t t- Fur Vice-President of tie United States, . k GEN. CHESTER A. ARTHUR, o1 isrs-w YOie.ii:. An Attractive Couple. Gen. and Mrs. Meredith Read are an unusually attractive couple. A Paris correspondent of London Truth says: ''Mrs. Meredith Head is one of the most sparkling and original nieec3 of Uncle Sam that it has ever been my happiness to meet. She has the Amer ican lady's taste for refinement and for pretty things. Her conversation lizzes over with mother wit, which comes in sudden dashes, and with the accom paniment of sweet, silvery laughter.

A Sea Unicorn. S.in F.r .nclsuo Chronicle. A curious crowd gathered about the United States Customs Appraiser, on the Pacific Mail Dock, recently to witness the opening and examination of a case brought on the City of Tokio said to contain the preserved remains of a veritable "sea unicorn." This is the first of the species, it is said, ever caught. As the freight clerk of the Tokio, in whose charge it came, in formed a Chronicle reporter, it wa.s captured alive by means of a net in the hands of some fishermen near Cape Sigami, but died soon after it was. taken. The hide was stuffed and care fully preserved by a skillful taxider mist, and as it was shown in the boxing-case, fully mounted for exhibition it presented a very Ihe-likc and ex ceedingly unique appearance. Tho body is the sizo of a small deer, and covered with scales about an inch in diameter, with tufts of reddish-brown hair grown quite plentifully between the scales, lis les are quite slender, and hive long hair about the hoofs, which resemble those of adeer or goat. The tail is slrai.ht and tufted, like that of a cow, while the snout is en larged at the end, likcthat of a swine, and the mouth shows formidable tusks protruding on either side. From the center of the face projects a single horn, not more than six inches in length, un l less than an inch in diam eter, winch curves upward slightly. This is the distinguishing feature of the unicorn. In addition there are two long feelers or tentacles, one on c.ich skle of the mouth, resembling frwin.'What those of a horned pout. Tno nair oil the neck i longer than .elsewhere, and of the same reddish color, and has the appearance of a short mane. The fishermen related that this animal was sometimes seen upon the bhore ot the island, and that he made a musical noise, which gave him tho nanicui" the "singing unicorn," an t sou.ooi the more crcuulous island ers had taken his notes, heard faintly iu the distance, for those of musical mermaids, it is apparent that this is a very different species from the nar w hai ot the Arctic Seas, which is pop ularly est lie t tiie sea unicorn, and which is a cetacean mammal of the genus Monouou. It is described in ti.e books as h powerful animal, from ten to sixteen loot in length, with a biow-holo on tho top of its head, and ti single hji'tiorlusx ot solid ivory live or six eet iu length.

Whatever may be tho reason or rea sons, children do not take to fat very readily, and certainly a largo propor tion of them reject the fat of joints, consequently it becomes very dcsirablo that they have dishes provided for them which aro fairly rich in fat which i3 not visible to the eye. Such dishc3 aro to be found in milk pud dings when a piece of butter has been put into them. Butter is not an ex travagant article of diet, and is a fat which is usually well borne by the most delicate stomach, and assimilated readily by the feeblest digestive or gans, provided always that it is not swallowed in masses, but it is taken in a finely divided form. Many chil dren who cannot' lake butter in tho lorm of thick slices of bread with a comparatively thick layer ol butter, can take it famously when tho slice of bread is thin, and the butter well rub bed in company bread and butter, in fact. In the latter form the butter i3 finely subdivided, and in mastication is thoroughly well mixed with the bread, so that it reaches tho stomach iu an acceptable form; while in tho other form the stomach refuses its presence. When atlded in generous quantity to a pudding consisting of milk and some other form ot lariu, buttcri can be given to delicate chil dren in practically sufficient quanti ties. Many children would bo all the bet ter if they were taught to cat pud dings of all kinds with butter, or with butter and a little sugar, instead of tho jams and preserves in such common use. A more economical form'bf fat is beef suet ; and suet puddings, especial ly if made with molasses, are readily eaten by children, and should be more largely used than they aro at present. Such puddings made with corn meal cost little, are very palatable, and have comparatively a high food value. Afton Kotos.

The Supply of Meat. A deputation, including representa tives of the town councils of Manches ter, Salford, Leeds, Ashton-under-Lyne, Burnley, Eolton, Sheffield, Peterbor ough, Birmingham, and of various butchers' and cattle trade associations had an interview on Monday with Earl Spencer, President of the Coun cil, concerning the restrictions upon the import of foreign cattle, to which Mr. Arthur Arnold, M. P., is to call at tention in the House of Commons, on August 6. Mr. Jacob Bright, M. P., who was accompanied by Mr. Mundel la, M. P., in introducing the deputa tion to Earl Spencer, said that they came to state the strong objections they entertained to the restrictions which now existed on meat. They be lieved that those restrictions limited the quantity and at the same time de teriorated the quality of this import ant class of food. There was a wide feeling as to these restrictions, and particularly as to American cattle. It was held that they came to this coun try in a condition more healthy on an average than the cattle of this king dom. The disease of pleuro-pneumonia which was the reason why American cattle were not allowed to come in, did not exist in America at all. The mem bers of the deputation would speak up on these points. Mr. John Whitehead, of Leeds, pres ident of the Foreign Cattle Trade As sociation, said he represented the but chers of more than forty towns in the Midland counties, and gave statistics to show why the restriction complain ed of should be removed. In the year 18T9 there had been a depreciation in the number of English sheep and cat tle of l,322,8Co, and seeing that the British farmer could not produce meat enough fof the consumption of the people, there was an absolute necessi ty that the Privy Council should, if possible.remove undue restrictions up on foreign supplies. Out of 76,117 cat tle imported last year from the United States there were only 137 affocted by pleuro-pneumonia, and in those cases the disease wa3 not found till the ani mals had been slaughtered. It was a great hardship upon the fifteen mil lions of inhabitants of the Midland towns that all foreign meat had to be slaughtered at the port of its arrival. Tons upon tons of waste was the re sult, and the offal was utterly sacri ficed, which was a grievous loss to the poorer, and to a large proportion oi the middle classes. Mr. Mark Price, Manchester, drew attention to the fact that out of 70,000 beasts imported from America in 1879 there were only 137 which were said. after microscopical inspection, to be affected by pleuro-pneumonia. - The Americans denied that the disease ex isted in their country, and our own Professor Williams distinctly stated that the disease in these 137 animals was real pleuro-pneumonia. But the great point was this, that 63,000 of the whole number came over in boats in which no disease at all was found. What, then, they asked the Privy Coun cil to do was, to allow the cattle that were brought over in boat3 in which it was admitted there was no disease, should be permitted to be sent alive to the inland markets. Earl Spencer in reph. having in some detail explained the state of the law as it now stood, which required absolutely the slaughter of all animals at the port of embarkation, and only allowed, the Privy Council to make ex ception in favor of countries where contagious diseases d;d not exist, and where, in the opinion of the depart mentrthe legislative regulations were such as to prevent the communication of disease from the outside, read vari ous documents to show that, although there mizht be no disease in some of the States of America, it undoubtedly prevailed in others. It had besides been determined on the highest Amer- caa legal authority that no State had a right to exclude the produce or man ufactures of the others. There was no security that the cattle coming through Chicago from the West, spoken of by Mr. Potter, might not havo been ia communication with cattle from other States. He also quoted the Chicago Live Stock Journal of July 5th, isso, to the effect that owing to the change of presidentship there was no prospect this year of any laws to prevent dis eased animals being taken as now, without let or hindrance, anywhere in the States; and it added that the vast herds of the West must therefore bo exposed for two years more before any thing could bo done to interpose be tween them and this terrible scourge. These were the statements ef Ameri cans themselves, and they furnished ample reasons why the Privy Council ceuld not interfere with the law aa it stood. London Times. NEBRASKA FHL'IT. A Call Upon tho Fruit-G rowers or the State. The coming meeting and exposition of the State Horticultural Society Sep tember 20th, promises to be tho finest over held in the State. Ample room has been provided for all exhibitors, an 1 it is expected that California and Utah with their rich fruits will bo present to add interest to tho cause of fruit growing, with their great clusters of grapes and rich pear3 and peaches. Wo hope the prairie States of Iowa and Kansas will respond with speci mens of fruit to aid tho common cause of fruit growing in the west. Some of the most prominent fruit growers in the western country have been Invited as judges, from whom we may expect practical suggestions and " fruit talk." The undersigned having been again appointed superintendent of the fruit department calls upon every fruit grower to come to the front with sam ples and with words. Give us your success as well as your failures. Let us know what vaiieties we have that will bo profitable and avoid tho mistakes of the past. For this end in the fruit hall at tho coming fair will be meetings for discussion, at which will be present some of the best west ern fruit growers. Thoso who havo young orchards just coming into bear ing are especially asked to bring speci mens. Premiums will bo awarded for single plates of fine varieties which have merit, and the writer knows there should be a grand display of single varieties. Early work is needed; if you can't be here the first day send your speci mens, and they will be put in place at once; a day before tho fair Is worth two after it begins. Send in the fruit early. All exhibitors are requested to send the number of plates they can fill so that space can Le assigned. I would suggest that each variety should be put in a paper bag with a card, not a piece of paper, with the name, and bo par ticular to have tho specimens well named, or say on the card for a name then the judges can write on thj card remarks which will give Information wanted. We will have thousands of visitors who will look at our fruits on account of our previous victories at national exhibitions. The great fu ture of fruit growing in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas can be pushed for ward by showing the products. Put away carefully the early fall apples in a cool place, select your best speci mens, see that they are not bruised, bring facts and figures, and tell us your experience in fruit growing. There is a great mining region to tho west of us which demands fruit which we should supply. The grand display of fruit this year will incite planting, and we want specially the standard apples. Every person who expects to exhibit is requested to correspond with me at at Omaha for information and space, and answers will be returned at once. The subject is an important one. The crop will pay better than wheat and last longer. State papers please copy. J. T. ALi.rv, Superintendent of Fruits. Morton on Hancock. Senator Morton, of Indiana, said in reviewing General Hancock's New Or leans letter: Again he says. "Crimes and offen ses committed in this district must be referred to the consideration and judg ment of the regular civil tribunal, and those tribunals will be supported in their lawful jurisdiction." Here lie adjures the military power, conferred on him by Congress, recognizes the su premacy of the bogus civil authorities, and declares that he will support their tribunals in the exercise of their law ful jurisdiction. And this he says standing upon ground in New Orleans yet moist with the bloid of nearly 200 men slaughtered iu the presence and by the contrivance of these civil au thorities, while the tribunals, which he pledges himself to support, havo never brought ono of tho murderers to justice. . . . Again says General Hancock: " The right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech, and the natural rights of persons and the rights of property must bo preserved." This is a very pretty saying, but what doe3 it mean by this connection? It means that the" loval men, white and black, shall have the right to bo tried by rebel jurie3, weich is like giving lambs the right to be tried by wolves. It means that the rebels who have mur dered Union men shall be tried by rebel juries; and when, I ask, has one of them been brought to justice? It means that men arrested by military authority may bo discharged from cus tody upon a writ of habeas corpus issued by a State judge, which is in di rect violation of the concluding part ef the 3d section of the act of March 2d, 18G7, which says: " And all inter ference under color of State authority under this act shall be null aEd vo'd." I read the order of General Hancock with unmingled sorrow, and felt he had committed an error more fatal to his refutation than the loss of a bat tle. General Hancock is a gallant sol dier, who has been wounded in the ser vice of his country, but if he ehall now lend himself to the support of the principles against which he fought, and becoiiio the ally of his enemies againsj his friends, his laurels, be they ever so bright, will wither "like the tender flower beneath the simoom of the desert."
