A HOUSEHOLD GOD.

London Figaro saya : — "Sir Arthur Sullivan may be interested to lenrn thi't scraps from • The Mikado' huve bet n aung before the great bronze irua^o of Buddha, at Kamakuru, Japan. Colonel George P. Bissell, o1"'o 1 "' Hartford, Conn , and a party of friends stood last month before this famous statue, and as the natives gathered around and set up a preat clatter, the Americans broko out as one man in ' Hero's ••i how d'ye do.' Tho Japanese wtro awed by the sonar, aud thought it was ofldreil us an invocation to Bu li^lm." Which i* » very good story as far as it goep, and recalls another which 5s absolutely truo, of an important Japanese official at Yokohama, who hud his own particular household tnvl decorated with a St. Jacob's oil bottlo suspended round the neck by a valuable string of jewels. He had for years boen a martyr to ihe demon of nt-umlgia, and the contents of that paiticular bottle h>id effected a rapid and permanent cure, where all ehe hud failed. That is one of the peculiar virtues of this rcmarkablo oi!, aod tho ono of till others which has made it so amazingly popular iv all lands ; but the above is probably tho only instance on record in which it has received such an elovated reco nition. Tho donor of tho bottle to tho iifllioted Jap. was an old sea captain of the most pronounced New England tj pp, and tho solemnity with which ho used to relate tho iuciicnl was considerably intensified by his own unboun'ed faith in tho painoonqueiiug piopertieß of St. Jacob's oil.

llolloway's Ointment and Pills. — Notable Facts. — Intense heat augments the annoyances of skin disease and encourages the development of febrile disorders ; therefore they should, as they can be, removed by these detergent and purifying preparations. In stomach complaints, liver affections, pains and spasms of the bowels, Holloway's Ointment well rubbed over the affected part immediately gives the greatest ease, prevents congestion and inflammation, checks the threatening diarrhoea, and averts incipient cholera. The poorer inhabitants of large cities will find these remedies to be their best friend when any pestilence rages, or when from unknown causes eruptions, boils, abscesses, or ulcerations point out the presence of taints or impurities within the system, and call for instant and effective curative medicines.
