MILLIONS Bear Testimony to their Wonderful Curative Effects. They are not a vile Fancy Drinlt, made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, ProofSpirits and Refuse Li- q u ora doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste, called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” Sic., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are atrue Medicine.made from the Kative Roots and Herbs Df Cali fornia, free from nil Alcoholic Stimulants. They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con dition. No person can take these Bitters according to directions and remain long unwell,provided their bones are; not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of aeting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in yonng’or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma tism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil ious, Remittent and Intermittent IFevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs. DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache, l’ain in the Stoulders.Oougbs, Tightness of the Uhest : Dirtiness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth. Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, arc the oflsprings of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid Livar and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi cacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart ing new life and vigor to the whole system. FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. TetterTSaV Rhenm, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncle!, King-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Bis. cases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use ot these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince, the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup- tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the srstem will follow. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon tl\e face of the earth whose body is exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worn, exist, out upon the diseased humors and slim* deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will free the system from vorma like these Bitters. J. WALKER. Proprietor. R. H. MCDONALD dc CO, De- e gists aud Gen. Agents, San Francisco.

The startling revelations contain ed in the letter which we give be* low cannot fail to make a deep im pression on the public mind, follow ing as it does on the heels of other disclosures of corruption, with which the country is painfully familiar. Mr. Beck made a personal examination at the Treasury of the accounts of the United States Marshal of North Carolina, and he gives the exact re sults of that scrutiby. It is found that this officer drew $105,000 from the Treasury during the last sixty days, and $40,000 of that sum with in a few weeks. When this fact is taken in connection with the des perate efforts of the administration to carry the North Carolina election by any means, however shameless, and the profuse expenditure ol money there, which is now notori ous, the explanation of these enor mous drafts is at once furnished. Every department of the govern ment is prostituted to partisan pur pose, and the treasury is audacious ly plundered under false pretences, in order that the people may be de prived of a chance of reform by the use of their ovvn money : Washington, July 8, 1872. Hon. T.L. Ciingman : Dear,Sir— As North Carolina will be the first State alter the Baltimore Conven tion in which an election will be held, the administration will use every means possible to car ry it— Gangs of spies and informers will flood your Stale; negroes will be imported from other States; false registrations will be resorted to. In short, all the machinery which a corrupt and unscrupulous adminis tration can devise will be put in rno- ( tion to carry the State. Secretaries Boutweli and Delano will leava their departments, to add to the pressure by their speeches and other influen ces. Already large sums of money have been raised for corrupt purpo ses. I knew the (so-called) Depart ment of Justice would contribute largely to the means of corruption; therefore i went to the Treasury this morning to see what was being done, and found that one S- T. Car- row, Marshal of your State, had drawn within the last year $223,000 of which $65,000 has been drawn within the last sixty days, $40,000 of it within the last few weeks. Of course this will be used corruptly. This enormous drafton the Treas ury for pretended judicial expenses, a quarter of a million of dollars in twelve months—is made still more flagrant from the fact that, until within a few years past, no former United States marshal ever drew more than $5,000 to cover all the expenses incident to his office fora whole year. My experience on the Ku Klux committee enables me to understand how. But you are fa miliar with their modes of opera tion, therefore detail is unnecessary. This is only one instance. I write this to put you on your guard and to show you what enemies you have to contend with. 1 may mention another fact 1 learned this morning, to show how hollow all their preten ces of civil service reform are. A fellow by the name of \V. A. Brit ton was marshal of the western dis trict of Arkansas, and became a detaulter to the amount of $121,000. The government had proof ample to convict him, but failed to prosecute, and simply dismissed him from of fice. Roots was appointed in his place- For some reason he was dismissed lately, and Britton was reappointed marshal in spite of the facts which the departments Jiad in their possession. But I need not bore you further. 1 hope your friends will, by earnest endeavors, neutralize the efforts of Grant and his minions. Jt seems to me impossible that any North Caro linian, who has not lost his self-res pect, can support an administration which has sought to degrade and disgrace the State by upholding Holden, Kirk, Bergen, and the like, and through judges like Logan, backed by YVhitley and Akerman, blackening the character of all your people, to say nothing of the whole sale robbery under which you have suffered. I write this because I know you will, when warned, avert the blows aimed at the gallant old North State. Yours truly. Sas. B. Beck. Last Order of Gen. Joseph E- Johnson.—The following last order of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, which we, copy from the original, has nev er appeared in print. N. O. Times. Headquarters Army ofTenn. Greensboro, N. C.

Teaching Birds to Sing Tunes.— This is done in the town of Fulda, where they keep regular education al institutions for bulfinches. They place the young birds into classes of six to ten each, and keep them in the dark, turning a little hand organ for them when they are fed. Final ly, the birds commence to associate the music with the feeding, and when hungry they commence to sing a few notes of the tune they hear daily. Those who do this are at once placed in a more cheerful room when light is admitted. This en courages them and makes them more lively. Then they like to sing, and are taught more. The most difficult part is the first starting of the birds, some ot which have to be kept a long time in the dark, and on starvation rations before their obsti nacy is overcome. In order to teach them several tunes they receive (af ter being first taught in classes) pri vate instruction from the little boys of Fulda, each of whom has a few private pupils of this sort. Their education lasts nine months, when it is completed, and the birds sent into the world as accomplished per formers. The principal markets are London, Paris and New York. They are valued in Europe at $20 for ev ery tune they sing, so one who can sing three tunes costs $60. In New York they bring even more than that. Singular Case of Suspended Ani mation.—We obtained yesterday, saysthe St. Louis Times of the Slat, from a reliable source, the following facts respecting a very remarkable and recent occurrence in Florrissant: One evening about two and one-half months since, a strong and healthy young mac named William Matling- by returned to his home from a day’s work, complaining of not feeling well. Before morning he became seriously ill, and when medical help was called in the disease was pro nounced spotted fever, or cerebro spinal meningitis. Within forty- eight hours after the first severe at tack the patient relapsed into a com atose state, and was thought by his friends to be dead. The barber was summoned from the village to shave the corpse and to assist in properly preparing it for burial. Upon com mencing his work he was astonished to find the flesh soft and elastic. He called the attention of others to this unusual circumstance, and it was determined to make a closer exami nation. As the result of their ex« periments they came to the conclu sion that their friend was still alive. Restoratives were procured and speedily administered. Although consciousness never returned yet the man was kept alive for sixty-two days, stimulants and nourishments having been introduced into his sys tem by artificial mean3. It is be lieved that all of these statements can be fully substantiated. True Pride- A young man named Parks, from Worcester, entered the store of the Lawrences in Boston, and found Amos in the office. He represented himself as having just commenced business, and desired to purchase a lot of goods. He had recommenda tions as t) character from several influential citizens of Worcester, but none touching his business stand ing, or capacity. The merchant lis tened to his story, and at its close shook his head. “I have no doubt,,’ he said kind ly, “that you have full faith in your ability to promptly meet the obliga tions you would now assume; but I have no knowledge of your tact or capacity, and as you are just launch ing out on the sea of business, I should be doing you a great injus tice to allow you to contract a debt which I did not feel assured you could pay at the proper time.” But Mr. Lawrence liked the ap pearance of the young man, and finally told hitn that he would let hirn have what goods he could pay for at the cost of the manufacture— about ten per cent, less than the regular wholesale price. The bill was made out and paid, and the clerk asked where the goods should be sent. “I will take them myself,” said the purchaser. “You will find them rather heavy,” suggested the clerk, smiling. “Never mind; I am strong, and the stage office is not far away, and besides, 1 have nothing else to oc cupy my tjipe.” “But/* said die clerk, expostula ting, “it is.hardly in keeping with your position to be shouldering such ponderous bundles through the city. “There you mistake,” replied the young man, with simple candor. “My position just now is one in which I must help myself, If 1 would be helped at all. I am riot ashamed to carry any thing which I honestly possess, nor am I ashamed of the strength which enables me to carry this heavy bur den.” Thus speaking, he shouldered a large bundle, and bad turned to ward the outer door, when Mr. Law- rence, who, from his office, had overheard the conversation, called him back.. “Mr. Parks, I have concluded to let you have what goods you want on time. Select at your pleasure.” The young man was surprised. “You have true pride for a suc cessful merchant, sir,” pursued Lawrence, “and I shall be disap pointed if you do not prosper.” Amos Lawrence was not disap pointed. Within fifteen years from that time, Samuel Parks was him self established on Milk street—one of the most enterprising and success ful merchants in Boston. A Money Match—Death. A recent letter from Boston tells this sad story: “A funeral pro- cession passed by yesterday. A young man told me a story that 1 think has a peculiar sadness about it. At Saratoga last session, at one of the largest balls, wa3 a young lady with the most charming and fascinating manners and graces. Her toilette was equally as pleasing. She was the belle of the ball—an honof accorded her without dissent. Her attendant during the evening was a young man dressed almost gaudily, and bearing himself with all the distasteful self-conceit of a brainless millionaire. He was the son of a Boston leather dealer. He met the lady at Saratoga for the first time last season, and she, by direction of her parents, who were also wealthy, and who insisted upon the arrangement, became his affi anced. Previous to this she had met a young gentleman, also of Bos ton, of the utmost respectability, of thorough honor and integrity, but without fortune.* To him she had been something more than a friend, in fact, almost a betrothed. He was young, and had* risen by his own stern efforts, and was, it is said, possessed of sterling and promising abilities, which in lime, must have won him wealth and perhaps dis tinction. : On the return of the lady from Saratoga last season her engage ment prevented her from further in tercourse with her first suitor, and he was dismissed. His grief was pitiful. He strove not to reverse it by word or action, but the very ef forts he so laboriously made expos ed the poignancy of his wounds. The lady lived with her husband in the suburbs of the city at a large and costly residence for one month after their marriage. By that time the abuse of the husband compelled an immediate separation. He was incontinently shipped to Europe, where be still remains, and the young wife was left to gradually de cline until death ensued; but not be fore she had reproached her parents for driving her to the alliance which wrought such early ruin and blasl- ted such bright hopes and expec tations. As the funeral procession passed up a public street the first lover, while watching with blanched cheeks and moist eyes the sad cor tege, fell to the ground while suffer ing an attack of hemorrhage of the lungs. He was carried into a phy sician’s office near, where he died before the body of the one he so tenderly and truly loved was laid in its last resting place.” Another Confederate Officer in the Service of Khedive of Egypt. Cap tain S. G. Grasty of Gen. John H. Morgan’s command, has joined bis old friend Gen. Loring, at Alexan dra Egypt, and has received an ap pointment in the Khedivian army. The gallant Captain is a native ol Virginia, and a graduate of the State Military Institute at Lexington, where he was taught the duties of a soldier by the lamented Stonewall Jackson. In some parts of Virginia, peanuts are, next to corn, the standard crop, and very profitable. With good cultivation, they yield from fifty to one hundred buahels per acre, and average about two dollars per bush* el. Hon. Jen. Black on tbi Political tea- tier. A correspondent of the New York Sun recently “Interviewed” Hon. Jeremiah Black on the otate of the country anil the remedy for existing evils.. We auuex a portion of the conversation, frir the special benefit of anti-Greeley men generally: Correspondent—The evils which have grown out of this carpet-hag domination in the South will be felt for ages to come? Judge Black—Yes, I believe that the corruption which is so fearfully prevalent in every branch of our na tional government, is in no small de gree due to this cause. It is true, that fraud, bribery, and official thieving had been practiced before even in our own Stale of PeonsylVa nia by the Cameron ring, but they inaugurated it on a national scale in the South, and now, as the Son has shown in numerous instances* the national administration under Grant is rotten to the core. I believe tfiat this terrible demoralization of pub lic morals is one re-ull of the en franchisement and hasty elevation of the negroes. It is a degradation of of citizenship which brought au in evitable train of evils. Correspondent—But we cannot undo that; we must labor to cure these evils. Judge Black—No, we cannot el evate the suffrage in this country. Trie situation in this respect must be accepted. The amendments to the constitution must stand. It is true that they were secured, through fraud and violence, but that does not matter now that they are adopted All the governments that have ever been established have been the result of either fraud, violence or accident, 1 can demon strate very dearly that the Constitu tion of the United Stales was itself adopted by fraud. Correspondent—The only hope for the country is to secure the de feat ofGrant, and begin at once this great work of reformation. We wont ttic iniiut-ncc uf itie good men of the South in our National Legisla ture, instead of the miserable scoun drels who degrade the name ol leg- lator by their presence in the Senate' Chamber and the House of Repre sentatives. Arrest the March of Despotism.. Judge Black—The effort to re form these evils certainly deserves the assistance of all good and patri otic men. While the cause seems well nigh hopeless, still I believe great good can be done by arresting at once the march to despotism. There is certainly a chance to save something from thewr ck. Correspondent—Well, Judge, this is what we intend to do by electing Greeley. It is ihis anxiety lor our common country which has lifted the people above the level of party passions and prejudices and caused them to unite on Greeley. .Judge Black—Well it is certain ly a cause worthy of such high de votion. I rejoice to see such a feel ing awakened in the breasts of ibe people. The defeat of Grant and the suppression of the evils his ad ministration has brought upon the country would indeed be a glorious result. “’Tis a consummation de voutly to be wished.” Correspondent—Well, the elec tion of Greeley will accomplish ail this. Judge Black—There can be no doubt but that it will effect a great deal. I know nothing of Greeley personally, and I must admit that the opinion I have formed of his character from other sources, is most favorable. But one thing all admit, he is an honest man. No person, I believe, has ever charged him with corruption. Then, again, the fact that he will be elevated to power by a coalition of tbe good men of all parties would alone be sufficient guarantee of the purity and straightforwardness of his ad ministration. A party composed of such elements has but little cohesive power, and the administration which depends upon it for support must tread continually in a very narrow path. I would have very little fears of Greeley or any other sensible man going very far astray on any question under such circumstan ces. Si CAPPHO. Lot's Wife as a Political Lesson.'— Congressman R. T. W. Duke, ol Virginia, in a letter recently publish ed, says: “That Mr. Greeley will be en dorsed at Baltimore is no longer a question of doubt. It is very true that Mr. Greeley has said and done many things in tbe past which we cannot approve, but when a way is open for escape from military des potism we should remember tbe fate of Lot’s wife, and resolve not to look beck, but only forward,*
