in tho late war, aids-de-camp of ollicers in the
field, commanding officers, Prince Bismarck,
Gens. Von Boon and Von Moltke, and the
Emperor William. After the'Emperor came
the German Princes, anfl the procession was
then made up of detachments of the victorious
army. The day was a memorable one in tho
annals of Berlin. 9
I ? There- is a little three year old colored girl
at Horn Lake, Miss., who has gray hairs in her
head, and who presents the appearance of an old
woman. She possesses, a wonderful memory.
Without knowing a single letter in the book,
she can spell correctly any word in tho English
language that has ever been spelled in her hear?
ing, and even words that sho never has heard
before she spells phonetically, leaving out' no
letter that is not silent when tho word is pro?
nounced.
? An exchange says: Some years ago phy?
sicians had a habit of recommending every con?
sumptive patient to take a cod liver oil. The
incredible mistiness of the dose must have con?
stituted its peculiar merit; for, as a matter of
fact, any result established by cod liver oil
would have been attained by the patient had
cream instead of oil been prescribed. Sudden?
ly this idea seems to have dawned upon the
medical faculty. As a consequence wo now
have a "milk cure," announced as a specific for
consumption. Patients who formerly put their
trust; in cod livers, are'now told that the eow'is
their only hope. They are made to drink vast
auantitics or pure milk, instead of frequent
o?os of the unspeakably vile cod liver oil.?
I The effect is all that can bo desired. Tho pa
tieut who tries tho milk cure finds himself rap
I idly growing fat, and it is also said that ho be
j comes gentle, childlike and bland iu his do
imeanor.
? On the 23rd of June, Captain I [all's oxpc
! dilion to tho Arctic regions, for which appro?
priations wore made by Congress, and which
has been fitting ont for some months, sailed
1 from New York, to be gone throe years. The
Polaris, selected for the expedition, is a schoon?
er, of 400 tons burden, and is provided with a
powerful engine and propeller. The crew Dum?
ber in all twenty-nine men, all of whom have had
I long experience in the Arctic regions. An Es?
quimaux named Joe will accompany the party
pSH?^rpreter. The Polarb will proceed to St.
: John's Newfoundland, thence to the west-coast
' of Greenland, through Jones' Sound as far as
I latitude 80?, where tne winter quarters will bo
\ fixed, and from whence minor expeditions will
be fixed, and from whence minor expeditions
will Ik? sent out into the unknown regions.?
i(Jupt. llaU manifests, much enthusiasm for his
Expedition. He accepts no remuneration, giv?
ing his time and services for the advancement
of science. Ho is confident of the solution of
the geographical ploblem which Kane, Parry,
Franklin, and others have at various times at?
tempted. He has spared no pains to make his
outfit perfect, and whether ho finds an open
polar sea, as Dr. Kane reported, or that Elles
mcrc land projects towards the pole, as he be?
lieves, he iJ prepared to make the [>as?age.

For the Speedy Relief
AND PERMANENT CURB OF
Consumption, Bronchitis,
Asthma, Colds, .
And all Diseases of the
Lungs, Chest, or Throat.
THE EXPECTORANT is composed exclusive
ly of Herbal and Mucilaginous products,
which PERMEATE THE VERT SUBSTANC*
OF THE LUNGS, causing them to throw off the
acrid matter which collects in the Bronchial
Tubes, and. at the same time forms a soothing
coating, relieving the .irritation which produces
the cough.
The object to be obtained is to cleanse the or?
gan of all impurities; to nourish and strengths*
it when it has become impaired and enfeebled by
disease; to renew and invigorate the circulation1
of the blood, and strengthen the nervous organi?
zation. . The EXPECTORANT does this to an as?
tonishing degree. It is active but mild and con?
genial, imparting functional energy and natural
strength. It affords Oxygen to vitalize the blood,
and Nitrogen to assimilate the matter?it EQUAL?
IZES the "NERVOUS INFLUENCE," producing
quiet and composure.
TO CONSUMPTIVES
It is invaluable, as it immediately relieves the
difficult breathing and harrassing cough which at?
tends that disease-.
FOB ASTBDBlA
It is a specific?one done ofton relieving the dis?
tressing choking, and producing calm and pleas?
ant ropose.
FOE CROUP
No mother should ever bo without a bottle of ihe
EXPECTORANT in the house. We have numer?
ous certificates of its having relieved, ilmost in?
stantly, the little sufferer, tvhen death appeared
almost, inevitable.
jMot2iCi*s l>o Advised X
Keep it on Hand!
This dread disease requires prompt action; as
I soon as the hoarse] hollow cough is heard, apply
the remedy, and it is easily subdued;
BUT DELAY IS DANGEROUS.
ggy- The properties of the EXPECTORANT
arc demulcent, nutritive, balsamic,' soothing, and
healing. It bracks the" nervous system and pre
duccs pleaeaut and refreshing sleep.
It Exhilarates and Relieves Gloominess and
Depression.
Containing all these qualities in a convenient
and concentrated form, it has proven to be the
Most Valuable Lung Balsam
