Tho Czar is tbe tallest sovereign of Europe. The Emperor William comes next in height. _ The banana crop in Louisiana is tbe largest ever grown there. Tho fruit has grown through the whole winter, instead of being killed by frost as usual. We continue to hoar of striped stock ings doing harm to their wearers. Hut it isn’t tho stripes; it is tho poisinous materials they are dyed with. Striped stockings are better than one color, pro vided tne dye is the same in both. The rapid and emphatic recital of the following is said to bo an ilfallible cure for lisping: Hobbs meets Snobbs and Nobbs; Ilobbs bobs to Snobbs and Nobbs; Hoblw nobs with Snobbs and robs Nobbs’ fobs. “This is,” says Nobbs, “tho worse for Hobbs’ jobs,” and Snobbs sobs. It seems to be generally understood at Washington that Mr. Hlaino will not demand an investigotion of this In dianapolis charge against him, on the plea that the Democrats would make an inquiry drag along till after the Cincinnati Convention, to the injury of his chances there. It remains to be seen, however, whether an evasion of a thorough investigation on such grounds will not injure him still more.— Springfield Republican.

Either old Solomon must have taken in the IiOndon of tho nineteenth century in his prophetic vision, or “ the strange woman” of 2,400 years ago was much like her present representative. Let a man walk along the Strand, or Ox ford street, or the Haymarket, or Pall Mall, or Regent street, of an evening, and ho is struck by the similarity of tbe invitations addressed to him, and to those so graphically rO' .corded in the Proverbs of the late King of Israel. Quite a representation of these women is always to be found at the theatres, plying their avocation, al most unnoticed among the throngs of men with their hats on in the “ pit” or guzzling “ bitters” and “ stout” out of bottles in tho “gallery.” , U"- 1 - 1 " 1 " Liver and Blood Diseases, New Advertisements. The proceedings of the Democratic State Convention tit Indianapolis yes terday will be found elsewhere pub lished this morning. The nomination of Judge Williams will take the gen eral public by surprise; but it was thing not unknown to those who were advised os to the situation, and also thing not unfit to be done. The nomi nee is a gentleman ot the very highest character, something better than a fit compromise b -'tween Landers and Hob man. He carried the Second district last fall by a square majority, although it was supposed to be Republican to the heart's core. Tho Landers men and the Holman men can well afford to lower their flags for him. He is the equal of Orth in every respect, as speaker. His nomination is a guaraiv tee of harmony in Indiana. It means that the Democrats of Indiana are not going to make a set of fools of them' selves. It means that they do not in tend to allow any personal differences, or partisan differences, to interfere with their fidelity to the great princi ples which, through years of disaster and defeat, they have bravely adhered to. It means, in short, that they intend to preserve the integrity of the good old Democratic phalanx that has stood the wind and the waves these twonty years, and can not be driven ashore. On the whole, the result is full of good augury. Whatever may happen be tween this and the election in October, it can not be said that the Indiana Democrats have not done for tho best. Courier : Journal. In Dennett’s recently published “Louisiana as It Is,” Captain Eads’ work is thus spoken of; “The jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi, at the South pass, bid fair to be a success. Judging from the deepening of the channel up to the middle of February, they expect to get over twenty-five feet of water in less than six months.” In the same pamphlet a popular descrip tion of the jetties is thus given: “Im agine two rows of piling, twelve feet apart, to be driven in the sand and mud at the mouth of the Mississippi, extending two and a half miles from deep water in the river to deep water in the gulf. Then plank these piling on the inside, like two lines of fences of plank and post, and fill to tho tops of the posts with small willow trees and rocks. One thousand feet east of this, the other side of the shallow chan nel, place two other rows of piling, filled with willows and stone in the same manner os the first. Line the in side tier on either side of the channel with willow mattresses, two feet thick and forty feet wide, woven and fasten ed together, sink them to the bottom and cover with stones and narrower mattresses on top to the surface of high water, by the siae of the piling. Thus two artificial banks are formed, and betweenthese banks—the inside edges of tho mattresses—is a surface of mud and sand aboutnine hundred feet wide, and over two miles in length, for tbe current to'play upon and wash out.” It was expected that during tlie-water season of 1876 this channel would wash out to a depth that a vessel drawing twenty-five feet of water would be able to come up to New Orleans; but the petition of the ship agents and masters, just sent to Washington, alleges that pbm is not working such satisfactory results as were expected. By R. V. Pierce, M. D., Author of “The People’s Common Sense Medical Ad viser.” A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken from the blood. When the liver becomes torpid or congest* d, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, re mains to poison the blood, and be con veyed to every partof the system. What must be the condition of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and a half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs— the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc., but these organs become over taxed in perform ing this labor in addition to their nat ural functions, and cannot long with stand the pressure, hut become variously diseased. Tho brain, which is the great elec trical conter of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the unhealthy blood which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform its office healthily. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapac ity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebodings, and irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin, jt is so irritating and poisonous that it produces discolored brown spots, pim ples, blotches, and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bowels and other organs cannot escapo becoming affected, sooner or later, and we have, as the re sult, costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspep sia, diarrhoea. Other symptoms are common, as bitter or bad taste in mouth, internal heat, palpitation, teas ing cough, unsteady appetite, choking sensation in throat, bloating of stomach, pain in side or ebout shoulders or back, coldness of extremities, etc., etc. Only a few of the above symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. The liver being the great depurating or blood-cleansing organ of the system, set this great “housekeeper of our health” at work, and. the foul corrup tions which gender in the blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery of life, are gradually expelled from the system. For this purpose, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, with very small doses daily of Dr. Pierce’s Pleas ant Purgative Pellets, is pre-eminently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch or erup tion. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curative influence. Virulent blood poisons that lurk in the system are by them robbed of their terrors, and by tneir persevering and somewhat protracted use the most tainted systems may be completely renovated and built up anew. Enlarged glands, tumors and swollings dwindle away and disappear under the influence of these great resolvents.
