The example ot the New York
Herald in contributing so liberally
for the relief of Ireland is having an
excellent effect. Contributions are
pouring in, and the Heratd says it
expects to receive contributions from
every village and city in the United
States and Canada. A New Tork
special to the Washington Post says:
"Among the latest contributions ac
knowledged by the EeraM are the follow
ing: August Belmont, $500; Smith,
Churchill & Scribner, $580; E, A. Buck,
editor of Ihe Spirit of the litnet, $1,000, and
Harry Hill, $100. Politicians, firemen, ac
tors, actresses, school children aud others are
among the contributors. Dion Boucicault
suggests that every theatre and music hall
in the United States should devote St.
Patrick's day to a performance in aid of
the HeraLcCt Irish relief fund. Contributors
to the Herald1 s f und who live out . of the
city can send their subscription by Adams
Express Co., which has consented to per
form this service free of charge. The
Master Stevedores' association has resolved
to give itr services in loading all provisions
intended for the starving poor of Ireland,
and the members of the Cotton Exchange
have just subscribed $500 for the relief of
the Irish distress, and more money will be
raised soon. James Keene, the millionaire
broker, it is announced on good authority,
is preparing to send to the distressed peo
ple in Ireland a ship-load of grain, his
contribution to their relief. J. W. Dona

relief fund, acknowledges the receipt of
$933 33 up to date."

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed
several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies
and cries ot a sallering child, and becoming con
vinced that Mrs. Winslow'a Soothing Syrup was
Just the article needed, procured a supply for the
child. On reaching borne and acquainting Us wife
with what he had done, she refused to have it ad
ministered to thexhlid, as she was strongly In favor
of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in
suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning
home the day following, the father found the baby
still werse, and while contemplating another sleep
leas night, the mother stepped from the room to at
tend to some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. . During her absence he administered
a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and
said nothing. . That night all hands slept weU, and
the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and
happy The mother was delighted with the sudden
and wonderful change, and although at first offend-,
ed with the deception' practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use-the Syrup, and suffering crying babies
and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial
of the Byrup neref yet failed to relieve the baby,
and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold
by all Druggieta. - 35 cents a bottle.
