discontent by a grasping
policy.”

he eould for it. He was told that the
pearl was of take great value, and that he
would better it to Biederman, of Vi¬

asked where lie had obtained possession
of such a rarity. The Hungarian an¬
swered that ho had got it from the valet
of the late Count Louis Battliyani, It
turned out that it was one of three black
pearls which, more than 150 years ago,
were stolen from the English crown, and
which were for a long time vainly sought
for, it being at that time supposed that
these were the only three black pearls in
existence. The British Government Inis

is by regulating the bodily organs and pro¬

banished from the cheeks. To rectify the
fault of a sallow complexion, use Hostetter’s

Under the above heading, the St. Croix
Courier, oi St. Stephen, N. B., in referring to
t he analysis of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery and Sage's Catarrh Remedy, re¬
cently made by Professor Chandler, ol New
York, and others, says : “ Nothing was dis¬
covered which we think objectionable, and
the published analysis should increase, rather
than retard, their sale. To us, it seems a little
unjust to call a man a quack, simply because
he seeks to reap as much pecuniary reward as
other classes of inventors.” The English
