2 OUR NAVY ABROAD. The Unltei States Steamer Lancaster Cre ating a Stir in Society A correspondent of the Paris News, writ ing from Villefranch, says: One of the most charming matinees of the season took place yesterday on board the L’tncaster as she lay at anchor in tiie lovely harbor of Villefranche, only half an hour’s drive from Nice. The day was clear, bright and beau tiful, as all days ate at Nice. So a pleasant time was sstured, as the affair was to be from 2 until 5 o’clock, and “on deck.” The Promenade des Anglais was crowded with stylish equipages, outriders gayly dressed— matrons and mademoiselles and cavaliers, while all were wending their way towards “the ship,” and along the picturesque drive by the sea that leads in that direction. Ar riving at the landing, we were met by Lieut. J. B. Jackson, Jr., who was assigned the re sponsible position of meeting the guests as they stepped from the carriage and seeing them safely deposited in one of the many , gayly de< orated lifeboats, which had been equipped and manned by twelve stalwart seamen, whose duty it was to land us along- 1 side cf the Lancaster as she lay far out from : the shore. The deck had been beautifully draped,in the national colors, and flags from every nation was festooned and wreathed so as to form a covering from wind and sun. A band discoursed sweet music and fairy forms i and feet swept the decks to the lovely waltz music. A dainty repast refreshed the inner | man, and all proclaimed in favor of the de lightful parlies given by Admiral English, I Captain Potter and the officers of the Lan- I caster. The American colony was fully re- I presented, as well as many French officers with their families, and English friends as , well. Mrs. English and daughter I received the numerous guests in her I usual gracious manner, wh.le (ap- I tain Potter and the Admiral , were übiquitous in spreading their atten- I sons among all. Among those present I were Mr, and Mrs. Thomas Wilson (Con- j sul); Misses Mullhall, from St. Louis; Miss j Hanley, Mrs. Niles, Kev. Thomas Connell, ' Mr. and Mrs. Gardner and family, Mr. j Hasleins, Mr. Lovett, Mrs. Goddard and I family, Mrs. and Miss English, Mr. and I Mrs. Spruance and Miss Spruance and Mr. I H. Spruance, Jr., Lady Caton, the Prefect, | and others. I Another matinee is announced for the I 22d, and promises rare features of enter- | tainment, as it will probably be the lasi j before the Lancaster sets sail for the Congo, I where she has been ordered early in Feb- | ruary. Bon voyage, say one and all, with hopes of a speedy return, AN INSULTED BROKER Demands an Apology or Blood—He Gets i the Apology. New York Special. With a recent challenge to a duel fresh in the memory of the members of the New York Produce Exchangi, there was a gen eral air of expectancy yesterday morning that the monotony of buying and selling was to be varied in the settlement of a “little unpleasantness” between E. Burton Hart and William Willis Merrill, both speculators and brokers in Exchange mem bership certificates Mr Hart is over six I feet tai', and proportionately well bui t while Mr. Merrill is below the mediuu height, slightly built, and with a bent form Mr. Hart is said to be an excellent swords man and not a good pistol shot, while Merrill is credited with being an expert with the pistol, but not strong enough in his arms to thrust or parry with the sword Hence, it was expected that a duel would be fought with pistols. Mr. Hart has been speculating in Pio duce Exchange cert’ficates for some tin e, and is said to have rut. contracts for a number on call at 413,100, and many more, “buyers’ option.” at £3,400. The price now being quoted above the latter figure he is a “bear,” while Mr. Merrill is a “bull,” on these certificates. Hart on Monday told several members th it certificates were too high, that cholera was sure to visit this city next summer and that the percentage Os mortality among the members of the Ex change would be so great as to depreciate the surplus of the gratuity fund. Merrill offered to bet £100 that the number of deaths would not exceed fifty, whereupon Hart became incensed, shook his finger in Merrill’s face, and in addition to other strong epithets called h'm a “thief,” a “rob- j ber” ami a “pawnbroker.” Merrill warned him that tnere would be a settlement outside of the Exchange building The members | yesterday’ watched for the coming of the two men with deep interest. Everybody was | surprised to see them come upon the floor I about the same time and exchange saluta- j tions. Mr. Merrill afterward said that Mr. I Hart had extended a semi-apology for his attack, but he had not decided whether or ; not he would submit a complaint to the Board of Managers. ♦ “ROUGH ON COUGHS.” Ask for “Rough on C< ughs.” for Cough Colds, Sore Throat, He arene ss.

They grumble from morning until night—we heard a man even grumble in bed. That man would grumble at any thing and every thing, without reason; but this week we heard a gentleman grumble with good reason. He bought a suit of clothes and paid a I good old fashioned price for it, and, hap pening to come into the “Famous,” he was shown a suit of the same class of goods, and our price was $8 less than he had paid. That gentleman had good rea son to find fault, and grumbled at his bad luck; but it will be a good lesson to him, and he will buy of the “Famous” next time. We are through taking stock, and now comes our annual clearing sale. We will sell you anything in our line at manufacturers’ cost. Our prize system has worked charmingly, and we made dozens of people happy by giving them prizes. We will keep it up.

This i’ valuable prepa ration is truly a triumph of scientific skill, and no more inestimable benefit was ever bestowed on the mothers of the world. It not only short ens the time of labor and i lessens the intensity of pain, but, better than all, it greatly diminishes the I danger to life of both mother and child, and leaves the mother in a condition hitrhly favor able to speedy recovery, and far less liable to flooding, convulsions and other alarming symptoms incident to lingering and I painful labor. Its truly | wonderful efficacy in j this respect entitles the Mothers’ Friend to be ranked as one of the life saving appliances given to the world by the dis coveries of modern sci ence. From the nature of the case it will of course be understood that we cannot publish certificates con cerning the Remedy with out wounding the delicacy of the writers. Yet we have hundreds of such testimonials on file, and no mother who has once sed it will ever again be without it in her time of trouble No More Terror! No More Pain! No More Danger'.

A prominent physician lately remarked to the proprietor, that if were admissible to make public the letters we receive, the‘‘Mothers’ Friend” would outsell anything on the market. I most earnestly entreat every female expecting to be confined, to use Mothers’ Relief. Coupled with this entreaty I will add that during a long obstetri cal practice(forty-four years, I have never known it to fail to produce a safe and quick delivery. H. J. HOLMES, M. D., Atlanta, Ga.

Once upon a time a man and a monkey chanced to meet on the highway. “Hello, my long-tailed friend,” asked the man, “whither art thou going?” “Bound for de city,” replied the monkey. i “Glad to hear it,” replied the man. “I am going there, too, and we will travel together and be of mutual benefit in case of •danger.” The monkey grinned assent, and both wended their way. “What ails you?” asked the man; “I see you are a sufferer, and can scarcely get along.” “Oh, you see,” replied the monkey, “my mudder, she had what you call scrofula, very much scrofula, my farder, he had heap sores, some big some little sores, long time. They both took much medicine, and when they died the sores was all they left me. “Yes, yes,” replied the man. “I see how it is. Your mother inherited her disease, scrof ! ula, and your father caught his on the wing, and you inherited or was born with both complaints. But why pine away and die when you can be cured.” “I been done used over sixtv bottles one drug store medicine,and it no good. Money all gone and sore here yet. Some doctors charge heap money, but no good.” “But my friend,” said the man, “you got hold of the wrong medicine. Go to the dru store and get one bottle of B.
