the Respiratory Organs with certainly and ease, that
cannot be reached by any other method.
His remedies are reduced t» warm spray—are speci

blood without having to go through the process of di
gestion; oniy certain prepared remedies can be used
by this system.
A few so called family doctors are experimenting
with tho Inhaler and their Caustics, Iodines and otbpr
relics of barbarism peculiar to that practice the re
sult is, they are destroying the repu'ation of the only
system that will cure Throat Diseases. Only certain

Affect the American Nation.
SYMPTOMS of CHRONIC CATARRH.
BY. DR. J. A. JONES.
1st. Of the head—heavy, dull, aching over the eyes,
sometimes extending back through different parts of
the head, and causing a weight or heat, of coldness on
top of tiie head, snapping and cracking noise in the
ears, dullness of hearing—otten the secretion collects iu
middle ear, closing up the eustachian tubes, prodne
ing deafness—the lining membrane being the same
from the head through the whole alimentary canal,
and down into the lungs, it has but to extend itself to
affect the whole system. It becomes virulent in tilt-
nose sometimes, causing a tenderness, or producing
offensive breath, discharges of yellowish matter and
scubs the shape of the nostrils, or if the partition bone
is only affected, then the Iselmrs are flat, and when
they discharge, which is generally after exertion, the
nose is open, the patient breathes more easily and the
head feels more clear—the heaviness over the eyes
and across the forehead is seldom entirely gone, but it
is aggravated by every fresh cold. The offensive smell
for which the unfortunate chews many kinds of drugs
to neutralize or destroy, and thereby be enabled to go
into society without being a positive nuisance, which
persons of both sexes are, on account of this barbarous
and offensive disease called OZOEN’A, which has now
assumed a Tertiary form of cancer, destroying every
thing but the outside skin, letting the nose sink iu, ex
tending to the throat, destroying the voice, etc., when
the disease is called Laryngitis, Trachetis, Bronchitis,
etc.

SYMPTOMS OF THE THROAT.
A collection of tenacious slimy secretion falling
down into the throat and thrown out—tickliug, rasp
ing. hoarseness and scraping to keep open the wind
pipe; difficult breathing, oppression and soreness un
der the breast bone; tenderness in the left side; rheu
matic pains between tiie shoulders; stiff neck on
taking cold; palpitation of the heart; torpid liver;
sonielimes yellow complexion; general dull and heavy
feeling; extreme shortness of breath; soreness of stom
ach pit; bloated sensation; belching of wind; yawning,
japing.keepingmouth open to breathe; distress, sleep-
ess nights; worse when lying down, and it row termi
nates either in Consumption of the Lungs, or follows
the mucous membrane through the whole alimentary
and urinal canal, causing Dyspepsia, Costiveness
Piles, Infiamation of the Bladder, trouble in tiie Urina
ry Organs, (and in women, nearly the whole train of
female diseases,) and general Consumption, emacia
tion, complete prestration, etc; with all ot which, and
many other symtoms, called by twenty different
names, (he snfferer may exist for a while. Dr. Jones
cures this dangerous and insidious disease by the zEtien
System—using specific medicines known only to him
self, applied to the diseased surface, in tiie form of
spray. He relieves the sufferer in a few minutes, and
supplies the patient with all that is required to finish
the cure at home.
OZOEN A,
An Offensive Disease in the Noses
Which eats away the partition bone, destroys the
sense of smell, produces green or yellowish Bcabs, the
shape of the nostrils— sometimes flat, often tainted
with blood and matter; causes weight ard dull aching
over the eyes, headache, loss of memory, giddiness,
etc. This disease is often caused by neglected colds,
by suppressed skin diseases, Scrofula, Scarlet Fever,
Psoiiasis, Syphilis, and other contagions diseases, and
is itself contagious. It often extends to the throat,
producing Hoarseness, Bronchitis and CONSUMP
TION. It is a Tertiary form of Cancer, DESTROY
ING the NOSE and THROAT when too long neglect
ed. DR. JONES is the ONLY Physician in the
United States who thoroughly understands curing this
daDgerous and offensive disease. He destroys the
offensive smell in FIVE MINUTES, and relieves the
sufferer in every way AT ONCE, and CURES the
disease in a short time. For tin's disease Dr. Jones
has special instruments with which to apply his spe
cifie remedies to the spot. Nasal Dorches and catarrh
remedies generally drive this disease .o the lungs more
quickly.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.
Prevalent in America and Europe.
1. Of the Head.—Tingling, itching, with a sense
of dryness and obstiuction of the nose, sneezing ran
ning of a watery secretion: as it progresses, the secre
tion becomes mucous, entire obstruction of one or
both nostrils, hawking, tickling of the throat, cough
ing, etc. 2 Catarrh of the Chest prevails as an epi
demic sometimes, and is called influenza; with or with
out fever, and many of the symptoms just mentioned;
there is oppression across the breast, rawness and
burning ot the throat, first day, afterward a copious
secretion of mucous, which may become opaque or
frothy, difficulty of breathing, paiu iu the head, and
dull teelinga, a sense of soreness, extending under the
breast bone to the stomach pit, the fits of coughing
may occasion vomiting, oppression, prostration; as the
disease progresses, the sputa becomes ropy and viscid.
This disease is called the Grippe by some. Catarrhal
Inflammation of the eyes arises from colds, causes ob
struction of the car passages, watery eyes, fistula,
lachryinalis, dimness of vision, etc.
SUPPRESSED CATARRH may produce iufluna-
ination of the lungs, brain or eyes, or give rise to
rheumatism, nervous disorders, weeping, moaniug,
tremors and convulsions, drowsiness, chilliness, start
ing .twitching, palpatation of the heart, etc. When the
frontal sinuses above the eyes, posterior and anterior
nasal passages, become clogged up aud even the an
trum or cavity of the cheek bone becomes filled, or
partly, it often produces a pressure on the nerves that
supply these parte, and pains like the most excrutia
ting neuralgia is the result. The disease follows the
mucous membrane through the eustachian tubes to all
parts of the same membrane of the ear, causing hyper
trophy of the drum, interferes with the functions of the
glandsof Wharton, which secrete the wax; a dryness
follows, hardness of hearing, roaring, buzzmg, singing,
whistling, cracking, the ringing of the bells, aud simi
lar noises, which vary, and which are simple effects,
and when the cause is removed, tiie effects cease; this
harduess of bearing increases with each cold.
Dr. Jones has made old standing diseases of every
came a speciality all his life. He is well prepared,
and performs all the more difficult and delicate opera
tions in surgery, especially of tiie eye. ear and nose.
He is a graduate of the best medical colleges iu Europe
and Ameiica, and his diplomas proving the same are
suspended in his office.
tyLetters containing one dollar will be answered.
Dr. Jones’ fees vary from $40 to $2000. His terms
are cash. His fees are considered very low for the
great amount of good he does.

HOPES AND PEAKS.
“W ” sailed for San Francisco, January 11th.
She is coming with the Spring-time,
And like all the joys of Spring,
Light, and life, and budding beauty,
To my lonely heart she’ll biing;
Blessoms fling their fragrance round me,
But I do not heed their charms;
I shall wear a fairer flower,
When-1 clasp her in my arms-
Panama I oh, land of Summer !
She is coming through ycur bowers;
But she's dearer, fairer, brighter,
Than the fairest of your tt overs;
And her eyes have love gleams purer
Than the gems upon your shore ;
And her cheeks a crimson tinting
That your roses never wore.
In my dreams I hear the storm-bird,
And I hear tiie breakers roar,
And I catch the ragged glinting
Of the rocks along the shore;
To your brea.-t why did I trust her,
Fair, and false, and cruel sea !
Oh' lit w could I bid my dai ling
Cross your wave to come to me?
And sometimes the vision brightens,
And witli other vanished joys
I seem to hear her footstep,
And the music of her voice;
And I fold my arms around her;
And I waken iu despair—
For alas! my hands are grasping
But the dark aud empty air.
Is she coming ? ah! the answer! *
There is only one can tell.
In His bauds i leave my darling,
For “He doeth all things well."
Surely he will guard her safely
From the penis of the sea,
And witli the flowers of Spring time,
She will come once more to me.

[From the Nashville Banner.]
Near the mammoth tannery of Hamilton k Cun
ningham, just south of the Nashville aud Northwest
ern Road, is & gently undulating hill, out of which
ledges of rock protiude here and there. On this hill
the Eighth Kansas regiment was encamped for a long
time during the war. Report lias it that ou breaking
up the camp, aud on leaving that spot to parties
pate in the battles of Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge
and Chickamauga, the soldiers buried all their money,
that they might Know where to find it on their return.
Only a few members of the regiment were commission
ed to perform tins duty, and only a few were permit
ted to have a knowledge of its deposits. They dng
down Beveral feet, where they came to a solid rock,
upon which they placed the money in large sized oys
ter cans, covered them over with other rocks and re
placed tiie dirt witli such nicety that no one could tell
that it had ever been disturbed. Those who had buried
the treasure were killed iu battle, and it was believed
that the secret ns to the place of buriul of the money
went with them. There seems, however, to have
been some understanding that the money was depasi-
ted in the earth witLin tne confines of the camp, and
since the close of tiie war men have gone about the
camp grouud at night seeking to discover some c ue
•o the treasure.—About a month ago seven men went
ou the grouud aud commenced digging and continued
to perform that labor for about an hour, wheu they
were disturbed in their operations by passers-by.
F’earing possibly that their object might be diviued
they ceased work, and never resumed until a few
nights ago, when seven men again assembled upon tiie
spot. While two did the excavation by turns, five cir
cled around them and kept a sharp lookout all around.
1 hey commenced work shortly after nine o'clock, and
continued to pile np dirt and work until they had ar
rived at the treasure, which they took out of the boxes
and carried away. While busily at work the switch
man, having a curiosity to know what they were about
passed by them, when all pretended to be drunk. A
spokesman, however, informed him that the boys had
gotten on a spree, and that lie had been endeavoring
to persuade them to go home, but without eflect. In
the meantime the digging was kept up by the two in
the hole, though in a very careless sort of way. The
switchman left them at their toil aud on the following
morning found, with others, chalked upon the smooth
side of a flat rock the inscription, “$58,000 in gold
was gotten out here last night.’’
Prince Pred.’a Pranialian.
A correspondence of the New Y'ork World, whose
communication sounds very much iike the growl of
some old veteran, some General Baum, of the Grand
Army of the Republic, complains bitterly of the in
justice of the promotion of the President’s son, a mere
youth, over the beads of scores of officers of superior
lank aud merit, jumping him at one bound from
Second Lieutenant to Lieutenant Colonel ou the staff
Of Gen. Sheridan. He regards the act as an outrage
and an insult to young Grant's senior officers, aud
closes his complaint with the following caustic para
graph:
“It is a sad state of affairs. F’or either the mind of
the Chief Magistrate is sorely shaken, or there is in
him an utter contempt for existing laws and for tiie
country in general; or, again, the endorsement of his
conduct during his first term in the use of his privilege
of appointments has bo emboldened him that he con
tinues in his second term his mercenary acts. What
will be the next act of this sovereign?”
Tiiis scandalous and unjustifiable transaction, so ut
terly in disregard ot military precedent, as well as of
the principles of right and justice, has not only been
universally condemned by the press, but has very natu
rally excited a spirit of resentment in a quarter where
Grant would rat her conciliate than offend- While the
shameless nepotism of the President was confined to
the civil service of the Government it did not affect
his popularity witli the army, hut introduced there, it
is not sui prising that it should have the effect to dis
turb the amicable relations which it is ail important
should bepteserved between our modem Caisar and
his Praetorians. Alarmed no d'.ubt by the general dis
satisfaction which the nomination of "the heir appar
ent” over his superior officers has produced among
“tiie boys in blue," au effort is being made to relieve
the President from responsibility in the matter. A con
venient scape goat for this purpose is fouud in his pam
pered pet and servile claquer, Little Phil Sheridan,
the hero ot the Piegan massacre; as will be seen by
the f(.flowing paragraph from the Washington blar.
That paper in its issue of Saturday last says;
There is the best authority for saying that the tem
porary appointment of Lieut. Fred D. Grant, the Pres-
dent s sou, as aide, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel,
on Lieut. General Sheridan's staff, was not solici
ted, either directly or indirectly, by the President, and
that the latter was not aware of General Sheridan's
intention until he saw the printed order in the case.
The new assignment gives Lieut. Grant the tempora-
ryrank and pay of Lieutenant Colonel, hut it does not
give Inin permanent rank, and the moment he is order
ed to rejoin his regiment (the 4th cavalry,) he ceases
to be a Lieutenant Colonel and becomes a second lieu
tenant of cavalry. The President has also been cen
sured for ordering Lieutenant Grant from his regiment
in Texas to witness the inauguration ceremonies, but.
this order was made bv the Secretary of War without
consultation witli the President.
This may all be true. If so, it only shows that “Little
Phil” having a correct appreciation of Grant’s sense
of right and decency, availed himself of the opportuni
ty to anticipate his wishes.

THE DOGS AND THEIR BBMGIO.V
The Warship af Ideal Hagbaad—A Fatal
Blaw ta the Old ftaperatiliaaa.
" The eye sees in anything what it brought with it
the means of seeing.”
A series of interesting reunions has
lately been held by the advanced
swine of this city, at their sty, for the
purpose of discussing the great ques
tion of the origin and destiny of hog.
The following report gives a necessari
ly brief summary of the proceedings:
The President—Fellow swine, we
have met for the purpose of organizing
a branch sty of the European hog re
ligion. It has been asked why there
should be any hog religion. I don’t
exactly know myself. But the pres
ent advanced stateof knowledge seems
to demand some such remodelling of
the old Hog God as shall bring him
into better conformity with it. Some
mystics of our race have had a notion
that they were made by a superior
being and that they had souls. Now
I don’t say that this is not so; I only
say it never has been proved.' What
we know about is merely swill and j
pork. We also know that these two |
<ireat forces are interchangeable. Pork
is only a form or mode of swill. I
have seen a hog cut up, and I can as
sure you that there was no soul there.
There were hams, and shoulders, and
sides, and pig’s feet, and intestines,
but no soul. Yet some hogs in past
generations have pretended to say they
knew they had souls. They pretend
ed to have an inner consciousness of
it, and another inner consciousness
that there was a God. Well, you pin
them right down to it, and that’s all
! you can get out of them. The thing
is all stuff. You can’t prove that I
i have got a soul [grunts of approba
tion], and you can’t prove that there
is any God. There is no hog logic by
which it can be done. And these hogs
in history who pretended to sacrifice
themselves for this notion about their
souls, they were all in the clouds.—
And if they did get themselves killed,
they did it for the sake ot their own
selfish souls. So they are hogs either
way, just as hoggish as we are. And
this Hog God, you boil down, and what
does he come to ? Just to the Dotion
that those hogs had about him. That
is all there is to it. The divine hogs
and the heroic hogs were just as much
hogs, just as truly swill-fed pork, as
you and I are [enthusiastic grunts].
Now the great French boar, whose
doctrines I want to call your attention
to, discovered the three states of the
hog. The first I forget, the second is
the Theological—the God and soul
business; and the Third is the Posi
tive or Pure Pork. That is, we throw
out these other things, and comedown
to what we can see, and smell, and
root in. Of course there is no use
bothering about the rest. But this is
practical. This gives us swill and
straw, and a good place to wallow in.
A Member—But I don’t see where
tbe religion comes in.
The President—Oh, yes ! Insteaa
of this obsolete stuff about duty and
justice, we get up an Ideal Hoghood,
and worship that.
A Member—What i»the Ideal Hog
hood?
The President—Why, you see,
we all want swill. But one of us
wants it just as much as another, and
some have to fight for it.
Colored Juries.
The question of the right of colored
men to sit on United States juries in
any of the States, it is very probable,
will again be,a mooted one in certain
quarters. The practice of the United
States courts in the selection of jurors
has heretofore been to be guided by
the jury laws of the States in which
such courts are respectively held. Some
months since a delegation of colored
citizens ot Maryland came here aud
had an interview with the Attorney
General on this subject. They com
plained that the United States Mar
shal for Maryland summoned none but
white men.
The Attorney General assured them
of his sympathy with their grievance,
but informed them that, as then ad
vised, he could see no remedy so long
as the law of Maryland prescribed that
white men only should serve as jurors.
Recently, however, the United States
District Judge for Georgia has affirm
ed the rightof the United States courts
to select negroes as jurors, notwith-
[ standing the State law which prohib-
I its it. It is charged by such men as
j B. II. Hill that this is a movement to
pack the juries of the Federal courts
in the interest of political persecution.
The whole press and people of
Georgia are in an intense state of ex
citement on the subject, fearing a repe
tition ot the scenes which a short
time since prevailed in the Carolinas.
In Bibb county the United States ju
rors have just been drawn under the
new ruling, and at the head of the list
is a negro*who, it is said, led an on
slaught on the white voters at the
election last fall, and who will now be
called to pass upon the guilt Dr inno
cence of those who resisted his attack.
This decision of the district Judge
(Erskine) has been sustained by a de
cision of the United States Circuit,
Judge Woods. The circuits of Judge
Woods and Judge Bond take in all
the Southern States from Maryland to
the Gulf, and in such of them where
the local law inhibits the selection of
coloredjurors.it may be anticipated
that a test question will be made when
the opportunity offers. In case ol
this Georgia ruling being adopted as
applicable to other States, it of course
would have no bearing upon the selec
tion of jurors for the local tribunals.—

ty-
comfortable, and so the best way is to
get enough swill for all and avoid all
that. We can do it by statistics. We
find out how much swill comes iu in
the course of the day, and how much
we all want. Then we divide up the
amount of swill, and the hogs that;
have more than they can eat give me
some. This is what is called “ The
Social duties of Wealth.” If there
are too-many hogs for the amount of
swill, we all turn to and kill the little
pigs. This is what is called “The

with eyes as blue as the empyrean,
and the haughty expression of the face
that characterizes her mother aud her
aunt, the Duchess d’Alencon. She
has a good soprano voice, and inherits
the musical talents of Francis Joseph
in an eminent degree. It may be
mentioned that he is a distinguished
violinist, and that his musical tastes
are of a superior order. From her

Empress Elizabeth, she seems to have
inherited her talents in horsemanship,

A member read a very interesting
paper on “ The Genesis of tbe Sty.”
This able essay completely overturns
the old theory of a conscious capen-
ter, and proves by a wide aud careful
induction, that the sty is formed by
the spontaneous evolution of tbe pro
toplasm of pine plank. The nails dis

Good Riddance.—We are sure, re
marks the Journal of Commerce, that
all newspaper readers, except the lob
byists, are rejoiced to know that the
United States Senate, in executive ses
sion, has adjourned sine die. If, as a
body,it could never be reconvened,
but fresh elections could be held by
all the State Legislatures, and new
Senators chosen, the country could not
fail to make a great gain by it. Save
in a few cases, the States of the Union
are represented in the Senate by
second-rate men—inferior in ability
and integrity. The longer they have
served in the Senate, with a handful
of well known exceptions, the more
corrupt they have become; so that now
it is from the new Senators that we
expect decency and honesty, if from
anybody. The United States Senate
has become tbe worst of the two legis
lative branches—the House being kept
tbe more respectable by the infusion
of new blood every two years. F<ym-
erly the newspapers used to say “Look
to the Senate,” when the House did
anything wrong, the expectation be
ing that the Senate, composed of bigh-
miuded men, removed from base temp
tations, would bold the other branch
to honest and economical ways. But,
of late years, all this is reversed.

That Ti?er Again.
Westated some days since that a
countryman on a visit to the city, told
one of our citizens that he had seen a
genuine Bengal tiger in the woods in
Columbia county, about twenty miles
from Augusta. We gave it as our opin
ion at that time that thecountryman had
imbibed too much benzine, and was a
victim to a delusion. Since then,
however, we ha\ r e heard that the wild
beast has been seen by other parties.
On one occasion a cow was found torn
in pieces near the place where the
supposed tiger had been seen. Yes
terday we were told that several men
living some distance above the city
had caught a glimpse of the tiger, at a
point only about ten miles from Au
gusta, and it is supposed that it is
making its way to this place, where
it has probably been before in some
traveling menagerie. A negro man
from the same vicinity also stated that
his son, a boy of about twelve years of
age, was chased on Friday by a fero
cious looking animal, the like of which
he had never before seen atid that ho
had a very narrow escape.
All of these accounts give very near
ly the same description of the beast,
hence we are forced to believe that ic
is in reality a veritable tiger that has
escaped from a menagerie.
A force will, we understand, be or
ganized in a day or two to hunt for
the animal, as its remaining at large
may cause much trouble and perhaps
loss of life.
Sr. Augustine Palmetto Braid.—
Palmetto leaves—palmetto braid--
these terms, says the Hartford Time: ,
are more frequently met with in news
paper letters and paragraphs about
Florida than they used to be. Th
fact is owing to the increasing knowl
edge in Northern Markets, concerning
the pretty hats and bonnets made at
St. Augustine. The palmetto braid has
been used in that quaint old town for
some years in the fabrication of ladies’
and children’s hats and bonnets. Be
ginning, we think, with Mrs. Olivera
and one or two ladies who lost their
worldly possessions in the war, this
business was only designed for a small
local affair, to reach the casual winter
visitors to the antique little coquina-
built city, and furnish a subsistence to
the makers. Ornamented with the
pretty, coarse seeded wild grasses of
Florida—what the natives there call
grass—these hats are graceful and
pretty; and they are winning a recog
nition in regions far from St. Augus
tine. An order from Baltimore, for
$5,000 worth, lately surprised the St.
Augustine ladies; another order fol
lowed from New York; and now comes
a $15,000 order from Paris! The
good ladies living in the Spanish look
ing houses on the litttle sandy street
where these chip and grass hats origi
nated, evidently builded better than
they knew.”
Trial of the HKitraillenr.
One Thousand Shots a Minute.
Yesterday, at Holskie’s machine
shop, corner of Cherry and Jefferson
streets, a trial was made of a new
mitrailleur, invented by Mr. J. P.
Taylor, of Tennessee. Tiiis most de
structive implement of modern war
fare has quite a number of novel fea
tures, which distinguish it from the
Gatlin or Imperial mitrailleurs. One
important one is that the gun-barrels
are in a water casing, so that the heat
ing of the barrels is impossible. The
other is that the twenty-four barrels,
starting at the breech in a circle, at
their muzzles, are grouped in an elipse.
By this means, alatteral or horizontal
range is given, instead of one in which
other gu»s of a similar character throw
the projectiles up and down, at right
angles with the ground. The device
for loading is also exceedingly novel.
It is self-charging, something like the
Henry rifle. Metallic cartridges are
placed in hollow tubes, which art
fed up to the chambers by the motion,
of a lever. A most ingenious device
is used for firing, and bn moving the
crauk and adjusting a simple mechan
ism, the mitrailleur may either be
used to discharge its load en fusillade,
the tweuty-four shots going off one
after the other, or the whole may be
fired at once. It has four chambers,
each one of which can be put instant
ly in position, fired, and cleared of iu
cartridges. In the fusilade firing, as
exhibited yesterday, it discharged 70(
rounds a minute; when nred in u
volley, about 1,000* The calibre of
the cartridge used was 44, aud at £
distance of 300 yards the lateral rangt
spread the balls about 35 feet to tbe
right and left of a given centre. It is
intended for the Vienna Exhibition.
For use against cavalry and infantry
it would be a most terrible arm, and
it has excited great interest among
our own artillery officers.—N. Y.
