DESCRIPTION OF ABERDEEN IN AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.

A letter in a recent number of the " Cincinnati Daily News " contains the following interesting sketch of Aberdeen and its inhabitants :—: —

" Aberdeen is genteel, antique, and unique. A town more inviting or more interesting there is not in Scotland, unless you except Edinburgh. My own wife says, 'It looks as if it had just been washed and ironed.' And so it does— so tidy, and pretty, and neat in its Quaker attire of grey granite. It is called the ' granite city,' and looks more like a ' Quaker city ' than Philadelpha ; for although the latter is eminent for nothing so much as silence, the former is charmingly utilitarian, simple, and substantial. Here are miles of plain, grey granite houses Then the ground undulates, and aa it always rains in Scotland, except when it pours, the streets are washed as often here by the clouds as they are in Philadelphia by the broom — which is a compliment to the clouds let me tell them. Uniou-street is the main street. It is a pleasant sight, especially by night, when the two rows of gas lamps are in full blaze. It is as straight as an arrow, and as neat as a pin. At the top of the day you can cross it without the aid of the police. It is only sprinkled with vehicles and foot passengers. Its shops are pretty, to say nothing of the lasses, who have a ruddy and cherry complexion, and the lips on which it is not safe for a married man to dwell, if he would not be led into temptation. But I will hang on this luscious subject (figuratively speaking, of course) long enough to bear testimony to the physical attractions of the young women of this town. I say their complexions are radiant with health and simplicity, combining softness of flesh with endurance of texture. And, for that matter, it is the same with the sex of sexes of every age here, as far as my observation had extended. The preciousest old ladies and middleaged ladies have I seen and shaken hands with here. The women of Scotland have juice and fibre, sprightliness and strength, vivacity and vigour combined. They are not uniformly or majoritively handsome or pretty in the face or in figure. In complexion they are pretty as a peach up here among the inspiring hills, but there all prettiness ends. The rest is beauty of soul, making an uncomely physiognomy beautiful. Gfood looking women, grand looking women, glorious looking women, you will see here, and the sight will revive your hope of tho race. The glory of Scotland at this moment is her women. They are intelligent, thoughtful, and quick-brained. They have received, like the ruling sex, a first-rate elementary education from the parish school, and, but for the hateful incubus of popular prejudices, they would to-day furnish rivals to the most learned and eloquent men in Scotland. As it is, these women have simply gone as far as they are allowed to go, and have stopped where and when they were told to stop."

HollouDay's Pills — If we would destroy a poisonous plant, we attack the roots, not the leaves and blossoms. The operation of Hollovray's Pills proceeds upon the same principle. The cadaverous complexion, sunken c.ye, and stoopiiig frame, ate simply indications "that the internal organs are not doing "their duty. If the skin is suffused with bile, and the breath offensive, there are obstructions in the liver. If the food, after eating, seems to lie like lead at the pit of the stomach, and is turaed into foul gases instead of wholesome pabulum, the organs of digestion are diseased. Upon these distempered viscera the Pills act as a powerful alterative. They purge mildly, and -at the same time regulate and purify the secretions and the blood. Need we say that the "inevitable ia a
