'Wednesday, December 3,1873.
\yisE Woeds. —The Courier-Journal
referring to the case of the Virginius
ahcl tile complications that have grown
out of the shooting by the Spanish offi
cials of her crew and passengers, wisely
says of the newspaper howl that has
gone up all over tne country:
“The clamor of the press has been
very injudicious and absurd. The most
unreasonable opinions have been given
and the most senseless suggestion made.
The best that the President can do is to
gather all the facts and be ready to lay
them before Congress in a clear and com
prehensive form, stripped of all feverish
exaggeration and extravagance, and the
American people may as well make up
their minds to wait until that is done,
and cease to cry out for immediate and
energetic interference.”
■
FEARFUL OLD FOGIES.
H. V. Redfield writes from Richmond
to the Cincinnati Commercial that he
lately visited the Jeff Davis mansion in
that city now occupied as a public school,
and then goes on to make the following
exceedingly disloyal remarks:
When the Confederate Capitol was
moved here the city bought the proper
ty for the purpose of presenting it to
Mr. Davis, but he refused to accept it as
a present, and it now remains the prop
erty of the city. Jeff, was a wicked old
rebel, but he never held out his hat to
the country for contributions, after the
manner of some other public men who
might be mentioned. General Lee, also
about the same time, refused to accept
a house and lot in Richmond as a pres
ent. Those rebels were fearful old fo
gies, and they all managed to die poor.
JAMAICA.
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.
Kingston, Nov. 12, 1872.
Editor Gazette : This city, as your
readers all know, is situated on one of
the British West India Islands. It is
built somewhat after the European style
with verry narrow streets, and, like them,
very little attention is paid to that which
is said to be “next to Godliness,” viz :
cleanliness.
The climate is delicious at this season
of the year. Most writers who have
visited Italy, go into raptures over the
clearness of the atmosphere, but it can
not possibly equal it on this island—l
am almost afraid to tell you that you
con read the finest print by moonlight;
and when there is no moon, the milky
way and the planet Venus shine with
sufficient orilliancy to cast a shadow. I
cannot dwell more at length on these
and kindred subjects at this time.—
Nothing is thought or talked of here
now but the Virginius and Cuba.
The excitement here has been intense
for several days. You can hear of noth
ing but the Virginius, United States, Cu
ba, Spain and kindred subjects. Our in_
formation upon the subject is very mea
gre indeed. No telegrams are allowed
to pass over the wires in regard to this
distressing and sad affair. We only
know that the Virginius was captured
on the 31st October, and that five of the
leaders were shot on the sth inst. The
wildest rumors prevail. It is reported
that, a few days afterwards, the entire
crew were brutally murdered by the Cu
ban authorities. It is further rumored
that the United States immediately sent
out a fleet of gun-boats and that she
would take advantage of this occasion to
take possession of this long coveted
prize. How these rumors started, no
one can tell. Even the all-powerful gold
could not induce the operator of the tel
egraph to furnish the coveted informa
tion. The papers of the Virginius were
perfectly regular. There was no at
tempt to conceal the actual errand of
the vessel while here. A number of
dancing parties were given on board the
vessel by the officers, and her destina
tion was openly discussed by those on
tbo&rd. It was also generally known that
the steamer while in this port was under
going repairs at the expense of the refu
.gees from Cuba.
The Virginius attempted a landing on
the third day after leaving port, but was
resisted by the fepanish troops, and was
chased by a Spanish frigate, but escaped
fnd reached Port au Prince, on the
27. th. The acting British consul not
being able to .obtain satisfactory reports
dispatched a gun-boat on.the 7th inst.,
to ascertain if possible, the true state of
the facts, and to advise the consul to
urge that the proceedings should not be
too hasty. It is reported by the British
schooner, that Varona, when he saw that
a capture was inevitable, advised that the
vessel should be blown up, rather than
let her fall jnto the hands of the Span
ish. It was thought, however, that they
would not dare to interfere with a yessel
Hinder the American flag, whose papers
were perfectly regular. The officers from
the Tornado boarded the vessel, and
took all on board prisoners, notwith
standing they claimed the protection of
the American flag.
I have no doubt that the full facts of
the case will reach you and your readers
long before this letter, but I have com
plied with my promise to write to you
from this delightful region. What will
become of these troubles w r e cannot sur
mise, but trust that good may result to
poor, down-trodden Cuba.

A PARIS SENSATION.
One of the sensations in Paris just
now is an Eastern juggler, who with the
assistance of a beautiful young lady,
furnishes his audience with a wonderful
illusion. The young lady, attired in a
rich dress with flowing sleeves, stands
on a dais on a broad square of Turkish
caipet. Two supports are placed under
her elbows, and the magician makes a
series of strange passes over her with his
wand, when she gradually closes her
eyes and apparently falls asleep. Then
the dais and one of the elbow supports
are removed, and the little spirituelle
figure is seen suspended in mid air.
Capriciously still,
Like the lone albatross incumbent on night.
She does not remain stiffly poised in
one position, but the juggler gives her
body the most graceful and poetical atti
tudes, culminating at the close with the
striking respresentation of an angel in
flight. Great white wings are fixed to
her shoulders, a golden trumpet is plac
ed in her right hand, the lights in the
theatre are turned low, a halo •of pale
gold streams upon the fair girl, and as
the spectators gaze upon her glorified
faces a breathleslf silence falls upon
them, and they watch the beautiful pic
ture as it fades away with an emotion
that is akin to awe. This illusion seems
rather more marvellous than anything
shown us by Prof. Frikell, and we hope
that some enterprising “entrepreneur”
will induce the juggler to visit this coun
try.
THE EAMIE.
The New Orleans Picayune notices a
ramie cleaner in operation in that city
which, as worked by three operators,
will clean about six hundred pounds of
Ramie fibre in ten hours. After the
bark is carried off by machinery in hanks
or ribbons and thoroughly cleansed.-
The ramie when it leaves the machine is
of a straw color, and when dried it is
ready for the market. The Picayune
gives no information as to the cost of
the machine. The difficulty of properly
preparing the ramie fibre for the market
by any process now in general use, has
alone prevented the development of the
ramie culture into one of the great in
dustries of the country. The fibre
stands only second to silk in qualities
most requisite for the manufacture of
fine fabrics, and the plant can be success
fully cultivated throughout an immense
area in the United States. Whoever
succeeds in producing a machine which
can be sold at a low price, and will ef
fectually and economically prepare tho
fibre for commercial use, will confer a
benefit on the country of hardly less im
portance than the invention of the cotton
gifi.

TO THE PUBLIC.
The Rain Killer manufactured by Perky Da
vis & Son has won for itself a reputation unsur
passed In medicinal preparations The universale
Uy of (he demand for the Pain Killer is a novel,
interesting and surprising feature in the history
of this medicine. The Pain Killer is now regu
larly sold in large and steadily increasiny quanti
ties, not only to general agents in every State
nnd Territory of th° Union, and every province
in British America, but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil,
Uruguay,Peru,Chili, nnd other South American
States, to the Sandwich Islands, to Cuba, and
other West India Islands, to England and Conti
nental Europe, to Mozambique, Ma agascar,
Zanzibar nnd other African lands; to Australia,
and Calcutta, Rangoon, and other places in In
dia. It has also been sent to China,and we doubt
if there is a foreign port or any inland city in
Africa or Asia, which is frequented by Ameri
can and European missionaries, travelers or tin
ders, iuto which the Pain Killer has not been
introduced.
The extent of its usefulness is another great fea
ture o this remarkable medicine. It is not only
the best thing ever known, as everybody will
confess, for Bruises, Outs, Burns, &c., but for Dys
entery or Cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint
it is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency, and
rapidity of action. In the great cities of British
India and the West India Islands and other hot
climates, it has become the standard medicine
for all such complaints, as wel 1 as Dyspepsia,
liver complaint and other kindred disorders For
Coughs and Colds, C>.nker, Asthma, and Rheii
made difficulties, it has been proved by the most
abundant and convincing trials and testimony,
to be an invaluable medicine. The proprietors
are in possession of letters from persons of the
highest character and responsibility, testifying
ip unequivocal to the cures effected and
the satisfactory results produced, in an endless
variety of cases by the use of this great medi
cine. That Ike Pain Killer is deserving of all
its proprietors claim for it is amply proved by
the unparalleled popularity i-t has attained. It
is a sure and effective remedy. It is sold 14 almost
every country in the world,and is becoming more
and more popular every year. Its healing prp
erties have been fully tested all over the world,
and it need only to be known to be priced.

THE ONLY KNOWN MEDICINE
That at the same time Purges, IPurifies and
Strengthens the System.
Dr. Tutt’s Pills are composed of many ingre
dients. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla
nni Wild Cherry, so united as to act together;
the one through its admixture with other sub
stances, purifying and purging, while the other
is ctrengtlicning the system. Thus these Pills
are at the same time a tonic and a cathartic,
a desideratum long sought for by medical men,
but never before discovered. In uther words they
do the work of two medicines and do it much
better than any two we know of, for thej* remove
nothing from the system but impurities, so that
while they purge they al>o strengthen and hence
cause no debility and are followed by no reaction
Dr. Tutt’s Pills hove a wonderful iufluenceon
the blood. They ihk only* purify without weak
ening it, but they Remove all noxious particles
front the chyle bcfbie it is converted into fluid,
and thus makes impure blood an utter impossi
bility. As there is no debiiitat.on, so thereisrio
nausea or sickness attending the ope
ration of ibis most excellent medicine which
never strains or tortures the digestive organs,
b t causes them to work in a perfectly natural
manner: hence persons taking them do not be
come pale and emaciated, but on the contrary,
while all impurities are being removed, the
combined action of the Sarsaparilla and Wild
Cherry putifies and invigorates the body, and a
robust state of health is the result of their
united action.

admitted to be the Handsomest Periodical in
tho World. A Representative and Oham
pion of American Taste.
NOT FOE SALE IN BOOKSTORES,
THE AI.DINE, while issued with all the reg
ularity, has none ol the temporary or timely in
terest of ordinary periodicals. It is an elegant
miscellany of pure, light and graeciul literature;
and a collection of pictures, the rarest specimens
of artistic skill, in black and white The real
value and beauty of l’lfu Ai.dink will be most
appreciated after being bound at the close of
the year. Thk A monk is a unique and original
conception, alone and unapq: Touched, absolutely
without compeiition in price or character. The
possessor of a complete volume cannot dupli
cate the quantity of fine paper and engravings
in any other shape or number of volumes foi ten
times its cost; and then there are the chromos,
besides.
ART DEPARTMENT—IB74.
The illstrntions of The Aldine have won a
world-wide reputation, and in the art centres of
Europe it is an admitted fact that its wood-cuts
arc examples of the highest perfection ever at
tained. The common prejudice in favor of steel
plates is rapidly yielding to a more educated
and discriminating taste which recognises tho
advanfngcs of superior artistic quality with
greater facility of production. The wood-cuts
of The Aldine possess all the delicccy and elab
orate finish of the most costly steel plate, while
affording a bi tter rendering of the original.
In addition, The Aldi.nk will reproduce exam
ples of the best foreign masters, selected with a
view to the highest artistic 3uceess and greatest
general interest. Thus the subscriber will, at
a trifling cost, enjoy in his own home the refin
ing influences of true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will he
by Tlios. Moran and J. D. Woodward.
The Christinas issue for 1874 will contain spe
cial designs, appropriate to the season
PREMIUM FOR 1874.
Every subscriber for 1874 will receive a pair
of chromos. The original pictures were painted
in oil for the publishers of The Aldine, by Tlios.
Moran, whose great Colorado picture war-pur
chased by Congress for SIO,OOO. The subjects
were chosen to represent “The East” and“ The
West.” One is a view in the White Mountains,
New Hampshire; the other gives ti*e Clift’s
of Green River, Wyoming Territory. The chro
mos are each worked from thirty distinct plates,
and are in size (12x16) and appearance an ex
act fac-similes of tbe originals, as attested by
Mr. Moran himself:
Newark, N. J., Sept. 20, 4873.
Messrs. Jas Sutton A Cos.
Gentlemen : I am delighted with the proofs
in color of your chromos. They lire wonderful
ly successful representations by mechanical
process of I lie original paintings.
Very respectfully, Thos. Moran.
Persons of taste well prize these pictures for
themselves—not for the price they did or did not
cost, and will appreciate the enterprise that ren
ders their distribution possible.
If any subscriber should indicate a preference
for a figure subject, the publishers will send
“ Thoughts of Home,” anew nnd beautiful cliro
mo, 14x20, representing a little Italian exile,
whose speuking eyes betray the longings of his
heart.
