If VEGE TINE will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and F cure such disease, restoring the patient to perfect health, after trying different phy sicians, many remedies, sulfering for years, is it not conclusive proof, if you are a s'ut ferer, you can be cured ? Why is this med icine performing such great cures? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. A It can truly be called the Great Blood Puri fler. The great source of disease originates in the blood; and no medicine that does not F act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, A has any just claim upon public attention.

Few passages have greater ter >r for the tourist than the crossing I the English Channel by night. is generally near midnight when u arrive at Calais, and if your )ute has been through Germany id Belgium, your baggage has Ben turned inside out a dozen mes by inquiring officials, whose ly mission on this earth seems to to hunt for whiskey and tobacco. on are routed out of your cozy r at midnight, swearing mad. our lessons in early piety are en rely forgotton for the time, and o matter what the character of our moral training, a little gentle rofanity seems like a positive re ef. Owing to the delightful ar mgements on the Continent for aggage, everybody rushes in pell tell. You rush in with the rest, >discover that your baggage is one. You run frantically around rong the crowd, and finally dis ver a fat womnan making off with our valise and umbrella, which she ad mistaken for a dilapidated hat ox containing a pair of corsets and r old bonnet. At last the lines re cast off, and you discover that o are~ fairly at sea. There is no oubt of it, for the boat pitches rd rolls, and the fat woman has etched way into the lee scuppers, nd seems carefully intent upon Ludying the patterns on the bot am of a wash basin. The cabin is ul ; everything is dirty and ickey ; but with the first streaks i day, England is reached, and as be sun rises, you are on your way London. I had been on the amp for two weeks, and it was ith a .thankful heart, after one of be most uncomfortable nights of 7 life, that 1 found myself at orwood, in the sweet calm of a leasaut English home. People -who never venture away -om their own firesides, scarcely :now the~ supreme hapiness of per et and absolute rest. You have got o be knocked about and driven bout, defraud:ed pf your sleep by ailroad conductors and hgel por era, who wake you up for some body else about three hot'rs before -on wanj to get out, to appreciate est. You must board in Paris op >osite a dozen musical prodigies rom Colorado or Washington Ter itory, who are practicing for the 7rand opera, and whose hours of xercise extend from half-past four n the morning till three quarters siter eleven at night. After an ex erience of this kind, it was with a leep feeling of gratitu~de that I -ested for th~e time, blessed in the iappy tranquility and quiet that urrounded me. A week slipped rapidly away, and aking the night train for Scotland, [ found myself at daylight the next norning entering the city of Edin urgh. During the weeks I had een careering over the Continent f Europe I imagined I had passed some of the most magnificent cenery in the world;: but nothing at home or abroad, for picturesqi beauty, approaches the city of Edii burgh. The new town stretch< out on a lovely plain backed up i the distance by a glorious mountai range, while the old town clingin to the sides of the rough cra nestles under the towering battli ments of the castle. There j plenty of penury and ragged miser in Scotland, nevertheless, Scotc thrift and forehandedness is visib] everywhere. Libraries, museum and schools of art are hewn as were out of the rough granite; an comfort for the great mass of tb people is wrung from the steril soil ; and education is dispensei even to the poorest, with a liberal ty which does honor to the Scottis head and the Scottish heart. Bu woe unto the tourist who falls int the clutches of the average Scotc' hotel keepers; the rule appearin to be among high and low to giv the smallest amount of entertait mentfor the largest possib amoun of money, Both Edinburgh an Glasgow have magnificent hotelE splendidly furnished, and-apparen ly supplied with every appoiutmen that could nake an hotel desirable and yet in the service the best c them are away behind the countr taverns in the back towns of Orego: and Colorado? and the administrv tion is mean of the meanest clasi Everything seems pinched, sting and penurious, except the bill, th sum total of which will be foun, equal to the most extravagant ar ticipations of the traveller. I cat not tell what may have been th experience of other travellers, but tried what I considered the tw best hotels in Scotland, McGregor'i of Edinburgh, and McLean's, c Glasgow, and the impression i forced upon me that I received les for my money than I ever receive, before in a first-class hotel in an part of the world. Forgettin; what I consider nothing less tha an hotel robbery, a robbery whic applies only to a limited class, r< spect is compelled by the energy thrift and industry of a people wh have done so much for the advanc< ment of humanity, whose grea names stand like monuments 'a: along the highway of literature an science, and the names of whos heroes can be found inscribe upon thie grandest battle-field of the world. The run from Glai gow to the coast is not a pal ticularly inviting one ; and tb passage across the Irish Channel:i made in a few hours. Seen froi ~the distance, the coast of Irelan looks dark, harsh and forbidding Clouds, heavy and portentous, hov4 about the hill-tops, and damp an chilling fogs hang like fringes o the shore. As you approach ti: land, the scene beging to chang, The dark apa sornbre browns an greys become the brightest< emerald-greens; while the little lo thatched cott es nestling amor the trees, fill the highest anticip; tion of perfect landscape beaut; I could almost wish that I ha never set foot on Erin's Isle,i have my first impressions so rude: dispelled. Belfast is by no mear the worst or the poorest town Ireland ; on the contrary, it is or of the very best. The various i: dustries of Belfast are janov throughout the world, and i linen manufactures in particuli are second to none upon the glob But even here poverty and wretco edness meet you at every tur Ragged, barefooted women at girls crowd the streets ; and tIl degradation of the sex seems cor plete when you see them filling t~ low gin-shops, or sitting idly the alleys and lanes, apparent without any object on earth exce] tlive, though nothing canI mre miserable than the lives thi lead. The city has a dirty, smo] look, as though it had been u washed and unkemxp.t for ages. B1 Dublin is still before you-the ci which at least one enthusiasi traveller has called the handsor est capital in Europe. As Ber dict says, in "Much Ado abo Nothing," "I can see yet witho spectacles, and I can see no su matter." There are fine buildin in Dublin, and plenty of them, a2 yet so meanly set, that the arc] tectural effect is destroyed. One the most magnificent structures e Dublin is St. Patrick's Cathedral, a- which may be called the West s minister Abbey of Ireland. Great U names cluster around it. The great n Dean of St. Patrick's, Swif b, reposes g there, and beside the tablet which gc records his virtues, is one to the memory of Stella. Grand historic Is memories make thE place as sacred y as any spot in Ireland, and yet un h der its very eaves is such squalid e mizery and wretchedness as can A scarcely be found in the world. t Its grand arches, its massive pil c lars, its towering spires, its glorious e windows, are only a burning re e proach to the degraded humanity 1, which. sutrounds it, and the poverty i- and crime which stands with bare h front in sight of its very altar, t should be like a blister on the fore o heads of its ministers, whose crim h inal neglect no incense can sweeten, r no prayers cAn sanctify. Of what e use are these grand temples, if the L 'souls and bodies of the men, women t and children which they wei'e in tended to save are allowed to sink I into utter ignorance, ruin and deg radation? All over Ireland are t these grand churches, costing hun , dreds of thousands of pounds. f Statuary, carving, frescoes and y painting have all combined to make a them among the grandest architec y- tural triumphs of the age ; and yet, i, from one end of the land to the y other, is a poverty and ignorance e which is simply frightful to behold. I The shepherds do not share the L- poverty of the flock. The ministers i. are a well-fed, well-clad class, the e great body of the churches are as I finely equipped as any churches in o the world, but the flocks are shorn , and poor, steeped in poverty to the f very lips-forgotten, apparently, s alike by God and man. The Liffey, s whose classic waters have given in I spiration to an army of poets, y shrinks to the eimensions of a dirty g canal, the foul odors of which n would have stifled poor, poor Pe b gasus, ere he could have reached . the .sumnmit of the Olympian Hill. , Dublin is full of parks and squares, o some of them very beauti.ful, and - the inhabitants are permitted to t look at them all from the outside of Lithe railings. The public spirit d evinced in this particular is truly e commendable ; anid it enables them d to 'keep their grass -plots uncon s taminated by t.he feet of the comn 3- mon herd, besids affording a de e- lightful private preserve for the te "divarsion ov tic ginth.ry.". Lime is rick was reachea thg next after n noon. The poverty and wretched d ness seen all along the route seem . ed to increase, Ragged and bare r footed women and girls crowded d the streets, apparently having noth n ing to do. He4-e and there some te one, a little more industrious and e. thrifty than the rest, might be seen d working the lace for which Lime >f rick has so long been celebrated, w but the great body of thezn had g nothing to do but to sit down idly a. by the wayside and stare vacantly y. at the passengers as they passed. ,d I hastIened on to Killarney, there o among the beautiful lakes an en ly chanted islands I hoped to forget is the terrible scenes of suffering and in poverty of which in an extended ie tour all over the world I have never Li- seen a garglil1. I had yet to learn rn that there were depths of human ts misery of which I had never dream a,r ed till I visited the town of Tralee. e. I was anxious to see the old town I:i- where the great Liberator, D~aniel ni. O'Connel lived, it is situated not t far from the sea in the most beauti 1e ful part of the south of Ireland. ni- Two thirds of the inhabitants live 1e in low mud cabins which would in scarcely be considered respectable ly shelter for an animal in more fav pt ored lands. At a station a short >e distance from Tralee, I asked one ey of the railroad officials if he would ry direct me to the best hotel in the n- town. "Indeed thin, I can't," he it replied, "I am forbidden to do so ty be the jutys of me station-but av ic I wus to tell ye at all-which I n- can't-I'd say go to Binner's." I .e- regret to say I did not go to Bin ut ner's, but unfortunately was in ut veigled off to a rival house~, where ah I got my first taste of a Kerry hos gs telry. Dirt double distilled was its id chief characteristic-dirt bred in ii- the bone and ground in through of every fibre of the flesh ;thoughI in am happy to state that the charges were such as befited a Royal Hotel. In order to settle my bill, it was necessary to change a ten pound Bank of England note, so I repaired les bo the National Bank of Tralee. A by little red headed jackeen was perch. pr, od up on top of a stool, with a pen boi behind his ear, to whom I applied est .or change, confidently handing out Ti -he representative of value endorsed by >y the great Bank of England. co 'Will you be kind enough to change the Jhis," I said. "I dunno wood I; the an ye soign yer noime," said the Fr( Kerry financier. I assured him alo ;hat I could, and forthwith affixed Pe ny endorsement with a flourish. bui Uy inquisitor examined the note,, thi 1e turned it upside.down, and final- I boc y ended by handing it back with ove he remark, "We isn't ableeged to wat hange it." "I did not suppose yott secl vere," I said, will you do it as an is ccommodation." "No, we won't, jett ge ur," replied the Tralee C'esus, ,gr nd -it began to look as if with Ba, pocket full of Bank of England pro iotes I might be anchored for- era ver in Tralee. At the Bank of, in dunster, however, I found an ties rish gentleman whose courtesy deF nade me forget the rudeness of the fou rish boor on the opposite side of at I he street, which, after all, was only feel n perfect keeping with the beggar- the y surroundings of the town. Shak- ent ng the nud from my feet, I took tee ;he first train to Killarney, and or >assed my last days in Ireland on by he banks of its beautiful lakes. For me nce there was no disappointment, ca ;he anticipations of years height- m med by the brilliant descriptions enc dat )f eminent literary tourists were da nore than realized, and in addition di ;o the lovely surroundings were Ch te ;he comforts of a clean well regu- t bc ted hotel, which one must make a be our of Ireland to know the full the value of. dis There are few more lovely spots m ,a the world than the lakes of Kl- so' arney, and I was fortunate enough I o see them for the first time an- Jel ler the most favorable circum. Th stances. The sun was just setting, nol and a rich flood of golden light dot rested on the mountain tops, light- a ug up the purple heather with a ha' richer bue and turning tbe bright WO surface of the lake into a vast do] seet of shining gold, on which the little islands seemed to float ; or Lhe islands where the fairies dweLl, ma where still an enchantment and dr~ romance seems to lingrer, which wa bas been banished by dread reali- bai ies from all the land beside. A mi day among the ruins of Muckross la Abbey, the crumbling "towers of ti Ross Castle, and the delights of OW lnnisfallen, made the time spent to at iKillarney the mos.t pleasant ' and satisfactory of my trip. The at quiet dignity of Din ney, the driver Fl of my jaunting car, and the keen 3O0 wit and pleasant Etories of Con, for my boatman, made the hours dr~ slip away like minutes, till the ch: time came when I must again re- ac turn to Paris. Bidding good bye Onl to Killarney and its lovely lakes, at and passing rapidly ',hrough Cork, of hastened on to Queenstown, and At arrived in time to see the greatest fai of the Irish regattas. The next .W day, the magnificent In man Steam- it er, the "City of Richmond," enter- pa ed the harbor,crowded with passen- Cl bound for the United States. By chi the courtesy of Mr. William In- N man, who happened to be on gr~ board, and t be kindness of Mr.8Sey- W mour, the gentlemanly represen-p tative of the line at Queenstown, pa I was treated to a pleasant Ex- ar4 cursion down the beautiful bay, ke we accompanied the gallant steam er outside the Heads, and waved our adicus to departing friends, St till she faded from our eight. Next pe day I took the Irish steamer for er Liverpool, and as Erin's Isle faded ac fromi our sight, my friend Gubbs, who sat wrapped in contempla-b tion by my side, remarked, "Its ab fine grazing country." I have fl had my holiday, and if my friends at will but forgive my lengthened absence from Paris, I will prom, ise, for the months that still re-b main, to st-and by my post and chronicle, as best I may, the won ders and gossip of the Great in Exposition. mn Yours truly, BROADBRIM. --.- - += 4- ----th Owe no man anything.p -~ .- ~ r IlE NATIONAL JETTIES. rhe commercial greatness of Char on is assured by the appropriation Congress of $200,000 for the im vement of the entrance to the har. l, in accordance with the plars and imates of Gen.

The estimate that the overflow, between the s y heads, will be eight times as it in force as the flow ,ver the as it stands. Some dredging will bably be necessary, but the delib 'e judgment of the engineers is that the new channel between the jet. , and out to sea, there will be a th of from twenty-one to twenty r feet at mean low water, equal, at hat maximum, to nearly thirty-five at spring tides.

T'his will be ie in a short time, however, and in month or two the great work will re been commenced.
