All who are allicted with this terrible disease, I would kindly recommend to try it for the beneflt of their health, and It Is excellent, as a blood purifier. By Dr. T. B. FORBIES, M. D for MRS. WM. I. FORBES. VEGETINE.-When the blood becomes life less and stagnant, either from chliage of weather or elimatte, want of exorcise, irregular diet, or from any othercause, the Veget,ine will renew the blood, carry off the put,rid hutors. cleanse the stomach, regulate the bowels, and impart a tone of vigor to the whole body.

Ama, D SKAses OF TUE Bu.oon.-If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect, health after trying different physicians, many retmedtes, suffering for years, is It not conciu sive proof, if you are it sufferer, you can be cured 7 Why is this medicine performing such great cures i It works in the blood Ina the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source of the disease originates in the blood ; and no medi cine that does not act directly upon it., to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. Vegetine.

The Mysteries of the Trado--flow a Circus is Managed--R.lniiniscencos of For'mer Days--A Moral Iintortain ment. [Boston Correspondence Neo York Post.) "When things got quieted down Mr. Barnum gave me some figures about the show business. In his present 'Biggest Show on Earth,' which consists of a menagerie, cir cus, &c., he has $300,000 invested. The expenses are $2,000 a day. There are 300 persons empIoyed and 180 horses. Every spring it costs from $80,000 to $100,000 to got freshened up for the season, but by about the 10th of June this latter sum Las been recovered, and from that time on the profits begin to come in. 'This afternoon,' he said, 'we took in $2,000; this even ing, $5,000. The hard times --o it. People must be amused. And the more you givo them the more they want. The value of a show is ex hausted after people have seen it once. When you come around again you must have novelties, and the best will pay the best. If I had twenty years more !-this sort of thing isn't exactly in my line, but my museums would keep burning. All the smaller shows get absorbed in mine. Why, hero are Nathans, Bailey and June, who manage my show. They are all old showmen. 'Barnum,' they came to me and said, 'you go like a hurricane. We can't stand it.' They now have an interest in my business. I do not pay them a cent of salary. I say : 'I'll furnish the money; you organ ize and run the show, and at the end of each season you shall have together a fourth of the prolits.' That's the only way to do, after all. Give men a direct interest in a business and they will take care of it for you. My gross receipts are about $700,000 a season, and my net receipts about 40 per centutm, or $280.000 ; one-fourth of which, or $70,000, goes to Nathans, Bailey and June, who thus got about $17,500 apiece. A DISSIPATED DWARF TEMPTS BARNUM TO INTEMPERANCE. "Where's Tom Thumb now Mr. Barnum ?" "He is living in Middleborough, Plymouth county, Mass , near Taunton. He is a great big follow now, weighs eighty pounds. Yet he 'draws' pretty well. He and his wife, and General Grant, jr., and Minnie .Warren, give drawing.-room entertainments every winter. They net about $200 a night. Tom Thumb should be very well ofi'. Bnt he has squandered a goodl deal of his money in yachts, &c. lie is forty-one years old. I will toll you something in the strictest con fidence. Minnie Warren, you know, woo married General Grant, jr. (his real name is Newoll) a short time ago, is in a very interesting condi tion. She is a nice little thing. Her parents and the other little people's parents all live in or near Middleborough." "Is Jenny Lind pool ?" "Not a bit of it. The reports to that effect in the newspapers wore thme grossest slanders-all that story, you remember, about her husband being a spendthrift and making way with her money. He sued one of the publishers and proved in court that Jenny is worth $2,000,000. She made $1,000,000 in America, andc Mr. Goldschmidt invested it so successfully that it has doubled itself. He is a real nice, quiet little fellow, a Jew though he became a Christian when he married her-and three or four years younger than she. I saw her only a year ago. She is well and happy. She has a grown-up son and daughter. Sir Julius Benedict, the composer, Jenny's old teacher, told me that the daughter would have been as great a singer as her mother ever was if she hadi't been rich. As for thb son he knows that Jenny is rich. Heolikes to spend the money and Jenny likes to have him. "You,can't imagine what a tri umph the .tour of Jenny Lind in this country was. It was an in cessant ovation.. Old Itaniel Web stor, wyyepever he 'heard her sing 9:OOW9 9.ong, would rise in ftnhe uie .1sudoonkas..aho Sai Anihed'in rnakethre.pro1ored bows. Ho did it in Castle Garden, in Providence, in Boston, in Wash ington. She always expected it, and she always received it. I introduced him to her one day in the Revere House in Boston. He wore a buff vest and velvet collar, and had his hair brushed up off his forehead. He talked sound sense to her, with dignity and stately courtesy. I remember the old fillow telling her in his most in pressivo and Senatorial manner that 'America is the best country in the world, Madam, for persons who do not indulge in intoxicating bevor ages.' He had just ben 'wetting his whistle' in the bar-room. After he had gone Jenny jumped up, walked the floor excitedly, clasped her hands, and with indescribable earnestness and prettinesss ex claimed, 'Oh, Mr. Barnum, that is a man ! that is a man, Mr. Barnum ; I never saw a man before,' observa tions which she repeated several times in succession. " 'Gonin the hatter,' I see, is dead," I remarked. "Yes. 'I put him up to bidding that $225 for the Jenny Lind ticket. It made a fortune for him. One day I was riding with George Au gustus Sala, of London, up Broad way. I had invitod Gonin to join us. The conversation having touched upon Jenny Lind's success, Mr. Sala inquired, 'By the way, what has become of that hatter Joenin, who paid so much money for a ticket ?" I assured him that Mr. Genin, who was in the carriago with us, was the gentleman himself. 'How much further than $225, Genin, would you have gone for that tick of ' I asked. 'Well,' drawled Genin, 'I told my agent to go up to $1,000 and then-he knew what my bank account was-to use his own judgment.' HE RESISTS TILE DWARF, MAKES MONEY, nLESSES MANKIND AND DRESSES FEMALE RIDERS. "Mr. Barnum, as everybody knows, is a temperance man, in the strictest sense of the word. He is a teetotaler. Nor does he use to bacco in any form. 'Whatever I do,' he said, 'I do it with my whole life. and it is easier for me to abstain entirely from beor, wino and liquor than to be moderate in the use of them. From 1842-46, when I was with Tom Thumb in England, France, Belgium and other coun tries, I got to liking ale, half-and half, champagno dinners, &c. I kept pouring in, and pouring in. When I returned home the habit was strong, and I broke it at once. I should have been in my grave now, if I hadn't. "I was the first man in America who ever kept a place of amnuse, lment without a bar. More than that, I lever give a return check to persons in my shows. I won't have them going out between the acts and imbibing. Most of the men in my employ are temperance men. I always toll an inltemperate man among them, 'I intend to discharge you ais soon as I can get anybody to do your wvork as well as you do.' " "Mr. Barnum is very free to say that he considers himself to be a public benefactor. .'I feel I am doing a public service. I wouldn't be in this business if I didn't. Not only have I kept rum away from all my shows; I have kept vulgarity awvay. The morals of no person wvere ever injured by going to Bar numn's. When I see the rising generation I feel sorry for them. They won't find anybody to cater for them when I am gone.' Here the old showman's face wore a really '.ad expression, his eyes peer ing wistfully into the future, as if in seach of a man fit to take his place. If he had seen such a per son I am sure that he would have despatched an ngent to procure him, 'regardless of cost.' 'Isend free tickets always to clergymen, where ever I go. Eighty-seven of them wvere distributed in Boston. I accompany theom with a card, say ing 'You will find the performances in the circus tent as unobjectionable as those in the menagerie.' Why, I won't allow a coarse expressi' n to be used, even by a clown. .Last week, in New Bedford, my new clowvr perpetrated this joke, 'What is the most natural thing in the. world?' asked the riding-master. 'It is natural,' replied the clown, 'for ice to be cold, for water to be liquid, for steam to be hot, for bricks to be red, for smoke to be dark, and for Japs to be dirty, but the moat natural thing in the world is-ils.'
