STEVENS: Dear Sir,-I have been a great sufferer from dropsy. I was confined to my house more than a year. Six months of the time 1 was entirely helpless. I was obliged to have two men help me in and out of bed. I was swollen 19 inches larger than my natural size around my waist. I suffered all a man ponld and live. I tried all remedies forDropsy. I had three different doctors. My friends all'expected I would die; many nights I was expected to die before morn ing. At last Vegetine was sent me by a friend. I never shall forget the first dose. I could realize its good effects from day to day; I was getting better. After I had taken some 5 or 6 bottles I could sleep quite well at nights. I began to gain now quite fast. After taling some 10 bottles, I could walk from one part of my room to the other. My appetite was good; the dropsy had at this time disappeared. I kept t.alcng the Vege tine until I regained my usual health. I heard of a great many cures by using Veg tine after I got out and was able to attend to my work. I am a carpenter and builder. I will also say it has cured an aunt of my wife's of Neuralgia, who had suffered for more than 20 years. She says she has not ;a,r any neuralgia for eight months. I have given il to my children for Cancer Humor. I have no doubt in my mind it will cure any humor; it is a great pleanser of the blood; it is safe to give a chila. Twili recommend it to -the world. M y father is SO years old, and he says there is nothing like it to give strength and life to an aged person. I can not be too thankful for tie use of it. I am, Very gratefully yours. JOHN S. NOTTAGE. ALL DISEASES Op THE BLOOD.-If VEGE TINE will relieve pain i gleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restorfug he patient to perfect health after trying difereit physi cians, many remedies and suffering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a sufferer you can be cured ? Why is this med icins performing such great cures ? It works n the blood, jA the circulating fluid It can truly be called the Great Bood Purifier. The great source of dise=e origiuates in the blood-; and no medicine that .qoes not SAt entirely upon it to purify and renovate, hqas any just claim upon public attention. VEGETINE I OWE MY HEALTH TO YOUR VALUAILE VEGETINE, NEwrORT, Ky., Apr. 29, 1877. XP. H. R. STEvENS: Dear Sir,-Having suffered from a break ing out of Cankerous Sores for more than five years, caused by an accident of a frac tured bone, which fracture ran into a running sppe, pd having used every thing I could think o, an4 nothin helped me, un til I hWd taken six bottles f yor valuable medicine which Urt Miller the apothecary recommended very highly. The sixth bot tle cured me, and all I can say, is that I owe my health to your valuable Vegetine. Your most obedient servant, ALBERT VON ROEDER. "t is unnecessary for me to enumerate the diseases for which the VEGETINE should be . used. I Jnpw of no disease which will not admit of its use, Vith gopd results. Almost innumerable complaints 'ara caIs0l by poisonous secretions in the blood, which ( can be entirely expelled from the system by the use of the VEGETiE. When the blood is perfectly cleansed, the disease rapidly yields; all pains cease; healthy action is ( promtly restored, and the patient is cured. VEGETJN Cured me when the < .DOCTORS FAILED.. -CINCINNATI, 0,, April 10, 1877. ME. IL R. STEvENS : Dear Sur,-I was seriously troubled with Kidney Complaint for a long time.

NO. 10. he Great Prixe Rape-Te Turnout of th Marechal President--s&i-es 'ithd 0pure --The Funeral of the King of Han-. over--The Grand Beview-News on Dits, etc. The- week whieh has iust pas 1as been one of continued excit< nent, fete has succeeded fete, pa eant has followed pageant, an( !or a time at least it would seem a f Paris might be satis0led. Sur lay ushered in the Grand Prix, o 3reat Prize race which is the prin ipal event of the year. There ar 3aints' days, church festivals ani ioly feasts, but they all pale befor he Great Prize race, which gen uly takes place about the middli )f June. The EnglishParliament ha yften been' adjourned for the Der )y ; the Ame'rican Congress ha aken a recess to get a look at th ong Branch races, but I don ,hink either of them ever adjourne< 5unday, and that is exactly wha >ur Frerch cousins did, just on week ago. For days and days prp 1eding the race, the busy note o yreparation might be heard a] ver Paris ; thousands of peopl vho could not have informed yol f the chan.ces of Kaiser William' iving or dying, knew gli abou ,he qualities of the different horse n the race. It was the absorbing pic in the wine shops and th ~afes chantants. All along tLh ;treets you heard of nothing else ~omen talked about it ; dress nakers and tailors were largely in ~erested in it, and those natty littl inrses in sweet little caps whic] rog ieet along the streets lef heir infant charg.eg upder th ;hady trees of the Champs Elyseei hbile they pumped the reticen: ,oachman on the chances of th ?rench horse. Even the priest, oi op of .ta omnibus, piously con ng his beads, stopped in~ the mnid Ile of a Pater noster to inquire-thi edigree of "le cheval anglais," an< rhy should he not when the die inguished "Marechal President d a Rpubligne" ley to the imposini >ccasion the sanction of his might; resence, with two or three King md a half dozen princes, not V ention your intelligent corre ondent. All Paris was out wit: his wife and family to see the shov rhe Grand Prix is a very respecl able Derby. You miss the donke rivers and costermongers whic' disgrace the English course, bt everybody goes to see the race. Early in the day the people bE an to go out towards Longchampf nd every vehiclQ on wheels wa t-ned towards the race cours4 From the Place de la Concorde t the Arc de Triomphe, was line with a solid mass of people to se the grand toilettes and extraord nary turnouts and they were n< disappointed; all along the beaut ful boulevard of the Bois d Boulogne, for miles, the bourgeo sat under the shade of"the tre< and enjoyed the passing pagean It was two o'clock when the Mar chal President passed in a carriag with six horses and postillon The State carriage was a gorgeot affair ; the massive gold mounting of the harness and the gay dressE of the postillons added to i striking e~ftect.' All the postillor wore grey wigs plaited in tails b hind, with jackets of bright scarli and immaculate knee-breeches ; t sately coachmen sat on the b( -ith neither reins nor whip, seer ing to have no earthly object in view except to ride out and see the i races; and being most splendid ex emplifications of that sinecure office that I have been looking for all my life, where there is lots to get and nothing to do. One fat woman as tonished the good people with a F lively tepra of goats, while a gay gallant, in a bright blue vest and a red necktie, dashed along behind four splendid Newfoundlands, mak ing as lively time as half the blood ed stock on the course. Queen Isabella, notwithstanding her re ported poverty, was also seen on the road, and I thought to myself if this means poverty I should like to try it for a while. .The Shah of Persia had made up his mind to drop a few francs on the result of 1 the rapp, apd aceepted a place in; - the President's caleche, being fol lowed by a number of his suit in four carriages with mounted pos tillons. The different embassies e were well represented and not a fgreign Prince ip :Paris-and their name is legion-denied us the hon or of his presence. The drivers and turnouts were gorgeous. Long t champs is one of the most beautiful racing ge} i; Vhe world. NP i graveled course disfigures its sur 1 face, the race being run on the s grassy* sward. From the grand - stand the sight was almost dazzling. 1 r There were a rupmLer of horses in - the start, the riders all in brilliant 9 costumes. In and around the I course there were not less than two D hundred and fifty thousand people. - Several minor races were run, and t a the concluding race was the Grand i 3 Prix. After several false starts the. horses got off, and after A mag s nificent'i'un the English horse won a by a head his victory, being hailed t with vociferous cheers in which, I 1 am sorry to say, that the Shah did t not join, as it was understood that I 3 his Imperial Highness had dropped mome forty frans by hetting on the wlrong chueval, and it is currentlyI 1 reported that he inquired of the < a President if he might not be per-4 1 mitted to hamstring the horse and 3 behead one or two of the jockeys. 4 Og Tuesdgy, the ex-Ring of Hlan 3 over was borne to his last resting i place attended by all thie honors 3 usually paid to Kings. King George 3 was the cousin of Queen Victoria, ;and is said to be thie last male of thte house of Ouelph who occupied - a throne on the continent. He has 3 been blind from .his youth, and i ever since his kingdom of Hanover Swas absorbed in the Empire of 3 Germany, he h'os re'sided in Paris-. ,His body lay in state for five days and the floral offerings were mag 3 nificent. His late Majesty occupied t 1 a modest ma1nsion on rue Panquet, - close to the Arc de Triomphe- r - Early in the morning a large body of tioops began to gather in the I vicinity ; two thousand cuirassiers - -occupied the Avenue du Roi de 3 Rome, and a large body of infantry stretched from the Arc de Triomphe along the great Avenue des Champs 3 Elysees. A little after noon the 3 mournful procession moved, Prince -Albert and his eldest son following 1 the hearse on foot as chief mourn -ers. One of the most startling - sihs was to see the two Kings of Spain walking amicably side by side, the ex-King Amadeus and1 t Don Assises, the husband of Isa bella. Isabella herself was there1 - an exile, driven from her kingdom ;, like the dead monarch whose body s they were bearing to the tomb, and . she, no doubt, asked herself if, after o she, too, had paid her last great debt, they would allow her dust to e mingle with her ancestors' in the - sombre shadows of Old Castille. t General McMahon, the Shah of i- Persia, the Prince of Denmark, and e a large number of Dukes, Princes, .s ambassadors and nobles followed s in a miscellaneous crowd on foot t. without any particular order. The 3- procession had scarcely started 3, when a dreadful storm broke upon s. them; the rain poured down in is torren ts and the royal and noble s mourners wvere exposed to its pit s iless fury and soaked to their royal Le skins, and so closed the funeral ts pageant of ~Tuesday. a- On Thursday was the grand re t view of* forty thousand troops at o Longchamps, and again all Paris x was out. If there is anything dear - to a-rnchman's heart it is a holi day; his motto is the same as that )f the immortal Toodles : "Pleasure irst and business afterwards." On rhursday was another grand pa oeant; again the Shah put in an ippearance, and for the benefit of our readers if asked to describe im briefly, I should simply say: mnintelligent and dirty, with r kin the color of indifferent parch nent and the vulgar manners of a .1own. One of the most striking features f the review was the splendid es ort of the Marechal President. 3lightly in advance of Gen. McMa ion came a magnificent boy of nounted Bedouins in the wild cos ume of the desert, led by one of ;heir most celebrated chiefs. By iis side rode the inevitable Shah, m fQllo7ying came a splendid cor ege of Princes, nobles and warriorg orgeous in military decorations. he Place de la Concorde and the ublic gardens were illuminated ind the evening closed with a num >er of grandes fetes given by the ierepi Cabipet ministers apd a oyal reception by President Mc Uahon. The Exposition, in the meantime, rows apace ; the walks and every hing else aropp4d the grounds begin o assume a more finished and settled ppearance. The grand gallery, in ,he east wing of the Trocadero alace iropenr-tmd-th Fxhibition s interesiing and unique. Frpi istorical standpoint 't is probably he most - proAtable to be found in ;he entire Exposition; the collec ion of majolica is particularly in eresting and the collection of rms, armour carving, and ar icles of yirtue =4 grp4rept pt nly very fine, but very rare. A ;uperb collection of illuminated nissel works gives especial value o this exhibit in the eyes of the iistorical student. The weather has been exceedingly insettled, rvi being the rule an4 uanshiny days the en'eption. The rtries seldom fall under 100,000 a ay, and on Sundays they reach rom 130 to 140 thousand. Truly yours, ROA DRPJM. FHE SAD VOYAGE OF THE AZOR. [Special to the N. Y. Herald.] BALTIMORE, July 9.-fogr corres >ondent to-day intei-viewed the Rev. 3. F. Porter, President of the Libe 'ian Joint Stock Steamship Company, rho is stopping in this city. Mr. Porter will be 34 years of age he 1st of August. He is evidently a nan of intelligenee, great steadfastness >f purpose, and has a strong faith in he success of the Liberian emigration cheme, which he is so earnestly pro oting. He is quiet and rather re erved in manner, although answering tuestions put to him frankly and free y Mr. Porter is a clergyman of the Lfrican Methodist Episcopal Church, ed is pastor of the Morris Brown )hurch of Charleston.. A PHYSICIAN ON BOARD. In regard to the absence of a phy iian on board the A zor, Mr. Porter tated that arrangements had been nade ith Dr. J. W. Watts, of Wash ngton, to accompany the emigrants, nd they had confidently expected him ip to the time of the sailing of the zor. About a week before the de arture of the ship he had sent them Stelegram stating that he would be ure to come. When the time came md he did not appear Mr. George Jurtis, one of the directors, who with is wife was going with the emigrants, >fered to undertake the duties of a hysiian, and he was presented as uch to the Custom House authori "Was he a regular physician ?" "lie had never practiced that I mnow of, but claimed to have a know edge of medicine, and as his wife was i. regular nurse we thought they could et along." RECKLEss WAsTE. "How came the provisions and water to run short ?" "This is something I cannot ac ount for, except by assuming that there must have been reckless waste. rhe obligation of the company was :nly to traispor't the emigrants to Liberia. But we published in the Missionary Record a list of the pro visions and articles that would be mneeded,a we gae evcry family a printed circular upon the require ments of an emigrant going from this this country to Liberia. It was a part of the contract that the emigrants should furnish their own provisions, and they got such stores as they were accustomed to at home. We are not responsible for the quantity and quality of these. In addition to the supplies which they provided for them selves I expended $1,100 in Bos ton for the purchase of stores sufficient to last them six months after they got to Liberia. 4y calculation was a liberal one; for instance, the law requires one pound of meat, one pound of bread, &C., per diem. I purchased stores for double that supply of food and endeavored to secure a good qual ity. In regard to the supply of water, Capt. Ifolmes a5sured mw that be had plenty for ninety days at least, and he expected to make the voyage in twenty-five days at the outside. Great waste must have been allowed. I think Capt. Holmes mpt h4ve gotten g fitfle out of his course.' CASE OF THE EMIGRANTS. "Did the company make any arrangements for the care of the I omigrants 4uring the passage ?" "There were three directors on board-Messrs. Gaillard, Clark and George Curtis-who where to su perintend the affairs of the colony. One was to look after the arrange mpnts for gricuitural work, ano ther after the sbipments of products and merchandise, and the last was to be the medical superintendent. The control and regulation of the :emigrants during the voyage was, however, in t4e jn6s of Capt. Holmes. I do not think the pi'c ture is as dark as it has been painted. Mr. Williams, the cor respondent or board, is a fine young man, but he does not seem to have ever been away from home before, and be was .trpgly impressed hy the events of life at sea. He has of course tried to make his account readable, and I think there has been some exag geration. The deaths that took place were due to the negligenes of the parte themselves. ljone of the cabin passengers took sick nor any who took care of them selves. Numbers did not come up from between decks from the time they started. What elpje could up expected but disease ?" - WHAT THE PASSENGERS SAY. Mr. Porter then went on to say that he had received seven letters, two from Capt. Holmes and the rest from passengers; all but one he had ra,iled to Charles toin. He said that none of-them were in a gloomy strain. The captain wrote that the only thing he regretted was the absence of a regular physician ; that Qurtis was inefficient, and didn't know his business ; that the provisions of the emigrants were not what they oaght to have been, and that they were on a short supply of water. The other letters, Mr. Por ter said, gave similar accounts, and he regretted that he did not have them still in his possession. The one letter that he did have was from the Rev. S. F. Fiegler, who went out as a missionary of the Methodist Church. The letter which was read by your corres pondent was .very brief ; spoke of the delay from calms, the deaths and the short rations, but said nothing about the quality of the rations, and did not contain any complaints. MONEY FOR PROVISIONS. A statement was made in a Charleston telegram to the New York Herald that drafts from Sierra Leone to the amount of $1,680 'for provisions and to wage had been received by the com pany. Mr. Porter says this is not so. He says that the drafts amount to only $1,250, which will be met. The association, he says, novet' had any large amount of capital, but paid its bills as it went along. ft is not in debt and does not owe a dollar to a living man with the exception of the amount that will be due Capt. Holmes when he completes his trip. In regard to the statement made in The News and Courier's correspondence, that the emi 1 gant were without money. he said that the emigrants, 256 in number, had $5,000 in- hard cash. The contract of the com pany is simply to transport them to t heir destination. PLANS OF TUE EMJGRANTS. The plan of thc emigrants is to go up the St. Paul's River into the. Bopoora country, between fifty *and sixty miles northeast of Monrovia. There tbe'government allows each head of a family twen ty five agree, and to a single man ten acres." 'What does your association propose to do now-?" "We propose to go right ahead. We have learned a-lessdn from tbe experiences of the voyage of the Azor. and we will guard against similar mishaps in the future. We have raAde a'rrangements with a physician of Dedham, Mass., to go on the next three trips, and we shall have energetic' sanitary supervision over til qjigrants. This aPii wili do, us more good than anything else. We intend to send out two hundred more emigrants as soon as the vessel re turns. There are over twenty thousand alreqdy bopked, and we intnd to keep'on sending over all who want to go. We have bought a tract of land of seven hundred acres in Charleston, on which the emigrants can sett p trans po4tqtiQn is ready for them. We are Tking our arrangements now for the purchase of a steamship for about $30,000 and with a capacity of seven hundred passen gers. Although we shall only Ungd two hundred and fifty at a time, we shall have her on the line by January 1. We shall buy it out of the stock subscriptions (like we did the Azor,) which, with the improvements we put on her, will cost about $16,000. Our intention is tQ bijpg about com mercial rehgtiong between the col onists and this country, and we are trying to interest business men in the matter. There they pro duce coffee, rice, sugar, indigo, palm oil, arroxvra34, ginger and camwood. TEhe ivory trade of Liberia has increased tenfold in the last six years, but the ivory obtained fr'om the interior is sold to British merchants. Now we want to sell it to American mer chants. In the event of want and destitutio'n among the colonists we shall relieve them." "How will your stock subscrip tions enable you to undertake so much ?" "We wi1l have the means. We are casting about in that direction now. We are willing to assume the responsibility of the enterprise, and have confidence in its success. We are bound to make it a grand suc,c0sa.U SINKING FUND. At the last meeting of the Lime Kiln Club the Rev. leenstock rose to a guestion of privilege. He sai:a "Wyon de las' end of be Brush fahm an old man is dyin'. His ole woman am run'd away, his chil'en am scattered, an' he lies dar all alone, wid no kind hand to pass him a fried cake or wet his parchin' brow wid camfur. He am not one of us, and we can't give to him from our relief fund, but I axes de consent of Brudder Giardner dat we may take up a colleckshun." "You kin-you kin !" was the prompt reply of the president. "I puts dis dime in de hat, an' I truly hope dat de gem'lin will de preciate de situashun," said Pen stock, as he started on his way. Passing from man to man, the preacher at length returnedl to his seat. As he looked towards the presidept there was a queer cloud on his brow. "Well, what success ?" queries the presiden t. "Fo' de Lawd, but I'ze eben los' de ten cents I started wid !" gasped Penstock. The silence was so deep that it could have, been cut up into coal shafts. Not a hair moved. "iDar 'pears to be a great moral lesson aroun' beah sumwhar," said Brother Gardner.---Detroit Free Pres-. A SARCASTIC MENDICANT. "I'm very hungry," said a hag gard tramp, with very red-eyes, as he stood bowing obsequiousl' at the side entrance of a Court street house. "Won't you please, ma'am, be so good as to give me a little something to eat. Any thing will do-odds and ends cold or warm-it don't matter, for I'm not one of them high-toned, fried-oyster fellers." "My husband has forbidden me to encourage idleness by giving away any more provisions," replied the lady of the house. "Re says yon fellows -bave a sort of Free Mason ry way of letting others know every house at which you have been fed, and it is sure to bring a troop of lazy vagabonds upon us who would starve before they'd lift a bAnd to work. So von will have to move or and get you' breakfast some place else." "But I'm not a vagabond,ma'am; I'm a hard-working, industrious man. I came up on a boat from Memphis to see my sick mother who lives out near Camden, and isi't expected to live. 1 was robbed on the boat of every cent I had and all my clothe's,. whild I was in bed, The eapt4in gave me these old things. I doh't like to beg, but Camden is a good stretch from here, and I canst walk it on an empty stomach. Think of the .outstretohed iirns of a poor.sick mother toward her absent child, and put wings on my.feet with a few cold potatoes. I'm jast a that point where I can eat 'em without eost." "I can't do it. They all have a story about like that. The last man I fed had to go to Columbus inside of twenty-four hours to save an innocent man from hang ing, but two days Afterward 1 saw' him down town so drunk he couldn't bold his mouth shut." "Well, I never drink. If I hadn't been robbed I could show you my Murphy xibbon that I've worn till it's raveled into strings. Long years ago I swore at my mother's benided knee-the same one whbo moans on herceouch of pain because I'm not with her that I would never touch the blighting cnp,*and I hain'tromr that time-up to this minute.

I'm awful hungry." "I can't help it. I must obey my husband ; his orders were pos itive," said the woman, snappishly. "Well, you're the most extra ordinary woman I ever saw if you do.

It may fool my stomach for awhile and make it brace up by thinking something better will be along presently. You'll do that much toward easing a fond parent's anxious heart, won't you."~ ."No, I won't." "Well, then give me a news paper and let me set by the fire fire and read the advertisement of a meat market, and show me the place where it tells all about pro visions. Even that would give me a feast-for the imagina tion-which has been about the extent of my living lately. You won't believe it, may be, but it's a fact, that all the nourishment I've had for two days is the bill of fare painted on the outside of the Fifth ~street restauranit. Can you think of that and keep your stale bread oni the inside of your cup-board ?" "Yes, I can ; and I want you to make yourself scarce without any more palaver, or I shall send my boy to call a policeman," ex claimed the indignant woman. "Even the photogr~aph of a chicken would be some comfort," said the man by w6y of banter, as he moved on, <and if you don't use soap in your dish-waiter a few potatoes slice'd up in it would be a regular bar-becue for mne."-Cin cinnati Breakfast Table.
