Good Words—From Good Authority * * * We confess that we are perfectly amazed at the run of your American Hop Bitters. We never had anything like it, and neyer heard of the like. The writer (Benton) has been selling drugs'here nearly thirty years, and has seen the rise of Hochstetter's Vinegar and all other bitters and patent medicines, but never did any of them, in their best days, begin to have the run that American Bitters have. * * We can't get enough of thorn.

The struggle between the great ocean steam shipping companies for the best record across the Atlantia loses nothing of its keenness, For some time the Guion Company, with the Alaska and Oregon, have been well ahead. But now a Ounarder has re-established the supremacy of the older firm. Their steamer Etruria haß just made the run from Queenstown to Sandy Hook in six days, one hour, and nine minutes, averaging nearly nineteen miles an hour. This beats tho best previous record—the Oregon's—by four hours and thirty-nine minutes. On the round trip, from New York to Queenstown and return, the Etruria haa also beaten all competitors by oyer five honri, Her officers qertiply deserve congratulaon their skill. It is curious to reflect that whereas the early steamship owners paid such exclusive attention to "lines," very little reference is . now made to them in laying down an ocean steamer. The Companies rather 'depend for their success upon the most powerful machinery money can buy, and upen coal - carrying capacities. The dream, too, of thirty years ago, of scouring 4 passage in thirteen days, seems a century off.

They are intended for the four apostolic vicariets into which equatorial Africa has been lately divided by the Roman pontiff. Tho party consists of lay brothers and ordained fathers, and sisters are preparing to follow. The fathers have been carefully trained in Algiers. They belong to a special religious order, with a peculiar semiOriental dress, of which the native red cap is a conspicuous feature. You don't—as a rule—try to give youp lawyer points on statutes, your parson on' theology, or yp,ur doctor on hy^ne; but yon clo-as a rule again—teel"it incumbent upon you to give your editor instructions, verbose and explicit sometimes, in journalism. Did it ever strike you that you can be excessively disagreeable, not to say insulting, in your treatment of newspaper men? They have as fair a show of brains as you, are no longer social pariahs, and from life and profession see the seamy side of life, and its silver lining, too, as yon Qannot. ever hope to do, It is \ mitbakd musty puovehb, but a sound one, that "good wine needs no bush so "excellence is its own reward.", 'Tho immense sales that have been made, and the enormous quantities that have been used prove that Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps needs no laudatory tributes, In all cases of kidney affections,' inflam. ination of the bladder, dyspepsia, indigestion, heart-burn, flatulency, gravol, and gout, it ii aimply a miraculoua cure, Good for JBabies, — (t Wo are pleased to Bay that our baby was permanently cured of a serious protracted irregularity of the bowels by the use of American Co's Hop Bitters by its mother, which at the same time restored her to perfetfighlth and strength.
