Guild, of Chicago, 111. Mies Mattie L. Guild, President Illi nois Young People’s Christian Temper ance Union, in a recent letter from Chi cago, 111., says: “/ doubt if Peruna has a rival in all the remedies recommended to-day for catarrh of the system. A remedy that will cure catarrh of the stomach will cure the same condition of the mucous membrane anyw here. I have found It the best re nedy I have ever tried for catarrh, and believing it worthy my endorsement l gladfy accord it. ” Catarrh of the abdominal organs is very much more common in summer than in winter time. This form of ca tarrh might be appropriately classed as summer catarrh. Peruna will cure catarrh wherever located. In pelvic catarrh it has won well deserved renown. Peruna will cure any ease of diarrhoea, acute or chronic, Peruna is an absolute specific for dysentery. Peruna cures catarrh of the liver. Peruna cures catarrh of the stomach.

Here I saw a tea cup that was one hundred and fifty years old. The lady who owned it being quite aged and the teacup once belonged to her great grand mother. Here I also saw a bed spread that was made of blocks of bh aching six inches square and in the center of each block was a bird, dog, cat, squirrel, horse’s head, butterfly, rose, and various kinds of flowers and articles worked in red embroidery cotton, and was beautifully and neatly done by the old lady herself, but what particu larly struck my attention was a rose, thistle and shamrock worked on the same block, and above was a crown, the rose being the flower of England, the thistle of Scotland, the shamrock of Ireland. One Saturday evening after 9 p. m., I was taken into an ice cream parlor by five ladies, and saw ever so many tables scattered all over a large room and at each table sat men, women, boys, girls and little children eating ice cream, while a never ceasing stream of people came and went from this parlor, as if there was no end of the ice cream, and it was very delicious with all kinds of flavors to suit each individual taste. The people of Galt sup or take tea as it is called here at five and six o’clock, and after the things of the teatable are cleared up and put away, the people go out on the streets, and I believe they do most of their shopping in the cool of the evening after sunset. I have been out on the most public part of the street after g p. m., with Mrs. Tay lor and have never seen such a large cro .vd of people as were com ing and going on this street. There were old men, old women, little children, boys and girls of all ages and sizes, and everybody here seem safe and secure even it alone on the street at night. I have seen since I left the land of the cotton and the negro, horses wearing bonnets. They are made of straw to fit the horse’s head with two holes for the ears, aud tied with a ribbon. I first saw them at Buffalo, N. Y., where large, strong, slee': and well fed horses drawing heavily loaded wagons or drays were wearing them. At first I thought they were for ornament, but have since read that they are to protect the horse’s head from the heat of the hot sun. Yesterday was the 31st of July and a very cool day. The wind blew hard just like it does some times in Georgia in the autumn of the year. The inhabitants here complain of the heat at times, and when I tell them I am not warm they laugh. Last Saturday evening Mrs George Taylor and myself wer j 'vited by Mrs. Coulth&rn’s to te tea with her, and while there I was made acquainted with two ladies, who are teachers, but not of the deaf. One teaches in Boston,Mass., and the other in Toronto. Ontario, and I have been invited to visit Toronto by Miss Cherry, the lady who teaches there, and she has promised to show me the schools, churches and other prominent buildings in that beautiful city. I am now booked to be in Toronto next Tuesday noon, and am ex pecting the best kind of a time while there. The Georgia watermelon has found its way to Galt. I see them in the grocery stores as I pass along the street. Aunt Taylor had one last week, but I did not like the taste of it as well as I do one fresh from the field There is a store in Galt called the Oriental Bazaar, kept by a young man, whose father a sea captain. This bazaar is filled with all kinds of novelties and curiosi ties in Chinese and Japanese goods. Teapots made in the shape of ducks, elephants, etc. Oh! I can not begin to describe all the things I saw there. They must be seen to be appreciated. There were im- ages of Japanese men and women at various kinds of work. One was a ship builder hewing a log. There were Japanese napkins for the table, napkin rings, fans atrd other things, the like of which I had never seen before. There were carved images in ivory done by the Japanese and perfectly beautiful. I saw a Hakour cabinet of great curiosity and beauty, and was told that it was m ide of one million different pieces of .all natural wood. Here was a figure of a Japanese clothed in an uniform made of lac quered steel and silk braid two hundred years old. He held a long spear in his hand, a heavy sword and long dirk was stuck in his belt. But the worst and most hor rible object I saw there was a hindsgod made of wood and carved into a most hideous shape, and has a row T of snakes’ heads (probably that of the Cobra) around its head, while the bodies of snakes twined in and out all among these gods, and was painted in black and stripes like the snakes represented. were several figures joined to toe one in the centre which, be- ing the largest represented creator, preservor and destroyer of the world. The two images made to represent people under his feet are the ones he can destroy. The one in his mouth are the ones he may take care of. The one in his belt is represented as being the ones he does and can create. The others, eight on each side, are all smaller gods, each one having a name and their peculiar wo k in helping the other. In another place was the figures of two men carving the face of an idol on wood. How sad and disgusting it is to know that there are people in the world who will bow down and worship such a hideous idol as the hindsgod. Asia being the oldest and largest continent of the globe and contains vastly more people, yet the majority of these people are idolators, while those of the United States, Canada, England, Scotland and Ireland are free from such idol worship and bask in the sun of righteousness. The Grand river flows through Galt, and the electric light plant is erected on the edge of this river, the chimney of which is 110 feet high. The electric lights of this town are placed upon very high poles scattered over the town. In the tall tower on the court house is a large cloct and the light illumi nates the inside of this clock so that the minute and hour hands are seen all over the town. This court house is two stories high and in the basement are prison cells, in which prisoners are kept only a short time until brought before the chief magistrate, and if not ac quitted, are sent to jail in Berlin, Out , ten miles from Galt. The drinking water of Galt is furnished from a spring, and is pumped all ever the town by means of a standpipe, which is very large and high, and is made of iron and steel. The water is very good and cool and does not get warm before reaching its destination. Monday, August sth. An ex cursion from Hamilton, Ont., is in town today, and the streets are full of people, flags are waving from some of the public buildings and the front of the Iroquois ho.el is decorated in colors, red, white and blue. There are eight hotels in Galt,and are all handsome buih { ings. Sallie Posey. I wnPATENT anything you invent or improve: also get CAVEAT.TR ADE-M ARK, COPYRIGHT or DESIGN | PROTECTION.
