Barrett in Printer's Ink. MRS. HUDSON, wife of the English railway king assailed by Carlyle, was a worthy successor to Mrs. Malaprop. Here are two stories of her related by Mr. Vernon Heath in his "Recollections": Mr. Hudson had issued cards for an evening party "to meet the Duke of Wellington." The night arrived, the guests assembled, and the rooms were crowded, but no duke, though at a late hour his grace arrived, when Mrs. Hudson, who was ready to receive him, said: "Oh, duke, you are so late and I have been so anxious; for to-night, you know, you are my prima donna!" Desiring to visit the celebrated Bridgewater Gallery, at the residence of Lord Ellesmere, Mrs. Hudson was duly shown the treasures of art there collected.

Accordingly a purse was made, and Seth Jones went in to pass critical judgment on the entertainment. His companions had been standing on the sidewalk about ten minutes when Seth came out. Ôn his countenance was a dead sore expression in comparison with which an operatic manager counting a $90 house is a happy blending of profound satisfaction and beatific joy. 46 "Tain't no good tall!

CORROCCO is the extract of a plant imported from South and Central America. This extract is mixed with aromatics to flavor and sweeten, and manufactured into tablets, delightful and refreshing. Corrocco is for the purpose of completely relieving and counteracting all the unpleasant and injurious effects of tobacco. A drop of nicotine will kill a cat. A drop of nicotine mixed with a drop of Corrocco is harmless. Few smokers realize how many of their nervous and digestive disorders are the result of tobacco; when they do realize it they "swear off." If Corrocco Tablets are used as a regular treatment the pleasure of smoking is doubled, because all its unpleasant effects -such as nervousness, sleeplessness, smokers' heart, etc.-are completely counteracted and the system thoroughly cleansed of the nicotine. When through smoking for the day, a single tablet, costing less than one cent, dissolved on the tongue, will completely remove every vestige of tobacco and its effects, and you will feel like a new man in the morning.
