A Considerable Item.
"Within the last twenty years, accord
ing* to the showing of the Secretary of
the Treasury, upwards of three hundred
millions of dollars have been lost by the
defecation of the officials of that depart
ment. The most of them attempted to
Vtllte shelter under the wings of the
JJj(pkrupt law, but Mr. Secretary Guthrie,
IgHiked by the opinion of able lawyers,
ha*come to the conclusion that said law
<lid( not relieve those indebted to the
government, lie is consequently traek
-}M up these defaulters, and intends to
ti# the strong arm of the Judiciary in
dßdng them toe the official mark. —He
ijgßsaid to have realized already about
tatty millions of dollars of this kind of
indebtedness.
*orxT Orloff’s Opinion of Napo
t3jn.— The Paris correspondence of the
®||epcndence Beige pretends the
'fdflowing are the exact terms in which
the Russian Plenipotentiary, Count Or- j
loss, lately expressed his opinion of the
character of the Emperor Napoleon :
J* The greatest grief (chagrin) of my
lift,” said the Count, “now that I know
the Emperor Napoleon, is that my late
master, the Emperor Nicholas, did not
fcnbw him too. —If he could have seen
him for hut half an hour, not only would
there have been no war, but the best re
lations would have been established be
tween the two sovereigns and the two
countries. The Emperor Napoleon has
precisely those traits of character that
would have exercised a great influence
over.the Emperor Nicholas.”
TBe superiority of American inventive
genius, not only over that of our English
•progenitors, but indeed of all other na
tions has become too tangible to be dis
puted. It was notorious at the World’s
Pair in London, that the Americans far
outstripped all others in the useful inven
tions wibch they supplied. We are
beating them in the scientific arts of
Chemistry and Medicine, as we have long
beat'the rest of mankind. Anew and
practical proof of this assertion is shown
-ill the fact that the principla remedies of
the allied armies of the East are furnished
"from the laboratory of our own country
roan. l)r. J. C. Ayer of Lowell is filling

.His medicines have been tried and ap
proved by those in power who have found
them the most reliable which they could
procure for the exegencies in which they
are to be employed.—W. Y. City Times,
A Daughter of South Carolina.—
Miss Peggy Land, a young woman of
Pickens Di-trict, about twenty-four years
of age, after trying weaving, carding,
spinning and sewing, last 3'oar went to
farming, and made cotton which netted
her SIOO. Her corn crop was two hun
dred and fifty bushels, worth sixty cents
per bushel, and sho made thirty-five
bushels of wheat, worth one dollar and
fifty cents a bushel. She accomplished
this herself, without any assistance or

which had coma down the coast with
silver to Panama, immediately upon her
arrival at that port, hastened back to
Punta Arenas, the seaport of Costa

the country against the incursions of
Walker, which were expected by the

Holloway’s Medicines.—We are
not in the habit generally of noticing the thou
sand and one medicines of the day; but when a
really meritorious one is before the public, il
is due to the afflicted that the fact should be
made known. We have used Holloway’s Pills
and Ointment in cases of humors, bruises, and
scalds, with beneficial effects, and there are cases
within onr knowledge of extraordinary cures
performed in diseases of long standing. Profes
sor Holloway’s Ointment and Pills are among
the few preparations which perform all the cures
fur which they are recommended. We are satis
fied that for purifying the blood, regulating the
stomach, and curing liver and bilious complaints,
no better remedy can be found. —Bangor JJemc

Holloway’s Pills, an extraordi
nary remedy for termination of blood to the
head.—Henrietta Wright, of Newburg, New
York, suffered excessively for eight years and a
half from termination of blood to the head, so
bad at times that she would fall down in crossiug
a room, as if dead. She consulted three different
physicians, and studiously followed their advice,
which however failed to benefit her, and her dis
solution was hourly expected. At this time she
tried Holloway’s Pills, which quickly did their
work, by removing Irorn the system all the nox
ious matter, carrying off the bad Grids, and left
her in the enjoyment of perfect health, her friends
have all been astonished at the apparent trans
formation, yet all this has been effected by Hol
loway’s Pdls.
A Clear White Skin.—The Balm
of Thousand Flowers was never known to fail in
rendering the swarthiest complexion clear, and
the blondest beauty yet more divinely fair; no
cosmetic was ever admitted to a lady’s toilet,
which so amply repaid her gracious patronage
and generous confidence, with renovated beauty,
loveliness and health; imprinting upon cheeks
of lily whiteness, the-unfolding rose’s sweet blush,
which neither heat nor cold, winter nor summer,
wind nor sun, can impair or destroy; on the
contrary, all nettle-rash, rose-rash, prickly-heat,
and other irritating and disagreeable impedi
ments to health and enjoyment of life, are en
tirely removed by the Balm.

Are Curing the Sick to an extent never
belore known of any Medicine.
Invalids, Read and Judge for Yourselves.
JULES lIAUEL, Esq., the well-known perfumer
ot Chestnut street, Philadelphia, whose choice
products pro found at almost every toilet, say si
“ I am happy to say of your Cathartic Pills,
that I have found them a tetter family .medicine
for common use, than any other within my
knowledge. Many of mv friends have realized
marked benefits from them and coincide with
me in believing that they possess extraordinary
virtues for driving out. diseases and curing the
sick. They are not only effectual but safe and
pleasant to* be taken, qualities which must make
them valued by the public, when they are
known.'
The venerable Chancellor Wardlaw, writes from
Baltimore, 15th April, 1854:
“Dr. J. (j. Ayer— Sir: I have taken your Pills
with great benefit, for the listlessness,* languor,
loss of appetite, and Billiou* headache, which has
of late years overtaken me in the spring. A few
doses of your pill# cured me. 1 have used your
Cheery . Pectoral many years in my family for
coughs and colds with dnfailing success. ‘You
make medicines which cure, and I feel it a pleas
ure to commend you for the good you have done
and are doing.”
John F. Beatty, Esq., Sec. of the Penn. Railroad
Cos., says:
“Pa. It. It. Office, Philadelphia , Pee. Pi. 1*553.
“Sir I take pleasure in adding my testimony
to the efficacy of your medicines, having derived
very material benefit from the use of both your
Pectoral and Cathartic Pills. lam never with
out them in my family, nor shall I ever consent
to be, while my means will procure them,”
The widely renowned S. S. Stevens, 31. D. of
Wentworth, N. 11., writes:
“ Having used your Cathartic Pills in my prac
tioe, I certily from experience, that they are an
invaluable purgative. In of disordered
functions of the liver, causing headache, indiges
tion, costiveness, and the great variety of disea
ses that follow, they are a surer remedy than any
other. In all cases where a purgative remedy is
required, I confidently recommend these Pills to
the public, as superior to any other I have ever
found. They are sure in their operation, and
perfectly safe, qualities which make them an in
valuable article for public use. 1 have for many
years known your Cherry Pectoral as the best
Cough medicine in the world, and these Pills arc
in no wise inferior to that admirable preparation
for the treatment of diseases.”
“ Acton, Me., Now ‘25.1853.
“I)r. J. C. Ayer— Dear Sir: I have been af
flicted from my birth with scrofula in its worst
form, and now, after twenty years’trial, and an
uutold of amount of suffering, have been com
pletely cured in a few weeks by .your Pills. With
what feelings of rejoicing I write, can only be
imagined when yon realize what 1 have suffered
and how long.
“ Never until now ha**c I been free from this
loathsome disease in some shape. At times it
attacked my eyes, and made me almost blind,
besides the unendurable pain ; at others it settled
in the scalp of my head, and has kept me partly
bald all my days; sometimes it came out in my
face, and kept it for months a raw sore.
“About nine weeks ago 1 commenced, hiking
your Cathartic Pills, and now am entirely free
from the complaint. My eyes are well, my skin
is fair, and my hair has commenced a healthy
growth; all of which makes me feel already a
new .person.
“ Hoping this statement may be the means of
conveying information that shall do good to oth
ers, laiu, with every sentiment of gratitude,
Yours, Ac.,
MARIA RICKER.”
“I have known the above named 31aria Ricker
from her childhood, and her statement is strictly
true. ANDREW J. MEHERVE,
Overseer of the Portsmouth Manuf g. Cos.”
Capt. Joel Pratt, of the ship Marion, writes from
Boston, 20th April, 1854.
“ Your Pills have cured me from a billions at
tack which arose from derangement of the Liver,
which had become very serious. I had failed of
any relief by my Physician, and from every rem
edy I could try, but a few doses of your Pills
have completely restored me to health, I have
given them to my children for worms, with the
best effects. They were promptly cured. 1 re
commended them to a friend for costiveness,
which had troubled him for months; ho told me
in a few days they had cured him. You make
the best medicine in the world, and I am free to
say so.”
Read this from the distinguished Solicitor of the
Supreme Court, whose brilliant abilities have
made him well known, not only in this, but the
neighboring States.
“Neie Orleans, sth April, 1854.
“ Sir: I have great satisfaction in assuring you
that myself and family have been very much ben
efited by your medicines. My wife was cured
two years since, of a.severe and dangerous cough,
by your Clierrv Pectoral, and since then has en
joyed perfect health My children have several
times been cured from attacks of the Influenza
and Croup by it. It is an invaluable remedy for
these complaints. Your Cathartic Pills have en
tirely cured me from a dyspepsia and costiveness
which has grown upon me for some years,—in
deed this cure is much more important from the
fact that I had failed to get relief from the best
Physicians which this section of the country af
fords, and from any of the numerous remedies I
had taken.
“ You seem to us. Doctor,'like a providential
blessing to our family, and you may well suppose
we are not unmindful of it.
Youis respectfully,
LEAVITT TIIAXTER.”
“Senate Chamber, Ohio, April oth 1854.
“ Dr. J. C. Ayer— Honored Sir: I have made a
thorough trial of the Cathartic Pills, left me by
your agent, and have been cured by them of the
dreadful rheumatism under which he found me
suffering. The first dose relieved me, and a few
subsequent doses have entirely removed the dis
ease. I feel in better health now than for some
years before, which I attribute entirely to the ef
fects of your Cathartic Pills.
Yours with great respect,
LUCIUS B. METCALF.”

PROFESSOR WOOD’S lIAIR RESTORA
TIVE, is, no doubt, the most wonderful dis
covery of this age of progress, forlt will restore,
permanently, gray hair tu its original color, cover
theTiead of the bald with n most 1 uxuriant growth,
remove at once all dandruff and itching, cure all
scrofula and other cutaneous eruptions, such as
scald head, etc. It will cure, ns if by magic, ner
vous or periodical headache ; make the hair soft,
glossy, and wavy, and preserve the color perfect
ly, and the hair from falling, to extreme old age.
We could give the testimony of more than one
hundred 'thousand to the truth of every word we
have written. Sec circular and the following:
The following is from a distinguished member
of the medical profession:
St. Paul, January \at, 165".
Professor 0. J. Wood —Dear Sir: Unsolicited
I send you this certificate. After being nearly
bald for a long time, and having tried all the hair
restoratives extant, and having no faith in any, I
was induced on hearing of yours, to give it a
trial. I placed myself in thelmnds of a barber,
and had my head nibbed with a good stiff brush,
and the Restorative then applied, and well rubb
ed in, till the scalp was a glow. This I repeated
every morning, anu in three weeks the yom g hair
appeared, and grew rapidly f>-.7h August last till
the present time, fT.u o row thick, b!nc*k and
strong—-soft and pleasant to the touch; wherein',
before, it was harsh and wiry, what little theio
was of it, and that little wa.- disappearing very
rapidly. 1 still use your Restorative about twice
a week, and shall soon have a good and peifcct
crop of hair. Now, if 1 had lead of these things
—and who has not? -but have not seen hitherto
any case where any person’s hair was really ben
efited by any of the hair tomes, etc., cl'the day;
and it really gives me pica cure to record the. re
sult of my experience. I have recommended
your preparation to others, and it already has a
large and general sale throughout, the Territory.
The peopje here know its effects, end have confi
dence in it. The supply you sent us, as whole
sale agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted,
and daily inquiries are made for it. You desert e
credit for your discovery ; aid i, for one, return
you mv thanks for the benefit it has done me, fi r
I certainly h id de>paired Ion" ago of ever effect
ing any such result. 3 our:, hastily,

Professor Wood— Dear Sr: Having mace a
trial of your llair Restorative, it gives me pleas
ure to say, that i ? s effect lias been excellent m re
moving iiillamation, dandruff, and a constant.ten
dency to itching, with which I have been trou
bled from iny childhood; and has also restored
my hair, which was becoming gray, to its origi
nal color. 1 have used no other article, with
anything like the same pleasiue or profit.

where it is not know: , as my head is a living
testimony of its valuable property, in restoring
the hair to its natural color. I am forty years
old. and my hair was almost white; but after
using three half pint bottles, inv hair is as beau

! proved in appearance, and I would not be without
a bottle on band forjlie price of ten. I should be
