The Chicago Times says Hooker, of Mississippi, is a candidate for Speaker of the next House. Conundrum of the Dax.—What is Eight to Seven’s Southern policy? He denies that Foster and Matthews told it right And now Eliza Pinkston ! The Paokard Legislature gratefully reoollects her valua ble services and have brought in a bill for her “relief.” Mas. Jackson of Boston spends her time in collecting money with which to redeem articles pawned by poor people in that city during the past hard winter. The note of Gen. Devens to Gen. Gib son denying that he had sent any dis patch to Packard, such as that read by the latter a few days ago, has been re* oeived by a friend of Gen. Gibson’s in New Orleans. His Fraudulency has decided to abolish the old praotice of having visitors at the White House receptions introduced by the Marshal of the District of Columbia. This will make Mr. Fred. Douglass’ work lighter. A beoent number of the-Shanghai Ce lestial Empire contains the following in teresting item of intelligence: “It is said that during the absence of Ting-Jih- ehang in Formosa, the Fan-t’ai will aot as Fu-t'ai at Foochow. ” Hon. S. S. Cox.—This distinguished Congressman and humorist lectures in Macon Tuesday night on “Irish Humor.” To Thursday night three hundred tickets were sold. Cannot citizens induce Mr. Cox to visit our city? They must aot promptly if they desire it. San Francisco has three princely resi dences. Leland Stanford’s cost a round $2,000,000. The total outlay on the res idence of Charles Crooker will amount to about $2,300,000. Mark Hopkins’ resi* dence, which is the most elaborate in de sign, will have cost when finished nearly $3,000,000. Prof. Gold win Smith writes an article in McMillan's Magazine. He foresees the colored people of the South must be* oome politically dependent, and adds : “You cannot alwayshold a bayonet under the chin of the black man to keep his head politically on a level with that of the white.” Congressman Blount. — We stated souse time ago that Col. Jas. H. Blount was one of the party of Southern Sena tors and Congressmen, it was said, oalled on Hayes after his arrival in Washington. We now learn frocji good authority that OoL Blount did not call as stated, and as we wish to be entirely accurate in all our statements we make this correction. We oertainly did not wish to plaoe the able Representative of the Sixth District in a wrong position. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, speaking of the Commis sion to the South, says: “The objeot of such on embassy is to save to the Repub licans, local and national, certain, offices in and for South Carolina and Louisiana to whioh they have no shadow of right, and which it is hoped the harassed people of these two States will concede for the sake of getting a part of that whole whioh justice would accord to them without cavil or delay.” The friends of Colonel Mosby are press ing his claims for appointment as an as sistant to the Attorney General. He is indorsed by many of the most influential Republicans in the country, and his pri vate character and legal attainments are vouched for by prominent Virginians of both parties, among them Senators Withers and Johnston and Judge William J. Rob ertson. His Fraudulency is known to be favorably disposed towards his claim for appointment. General Peter C. Johnston, an elder brother of General Joseph E. Johnston, died at the residence of Senator John ston, his nephew, at Abington, Va., on Wednesday. He was born in Prince Ed ward county, 1793, served as an officer of volunteers in the war of 1812, and was a member of the Convention in 1861. He for many years oocnpied the position of Commonwealth’s attorney of Lee county, and was known as one of the best land lawyers in this section. Sugar is now made from ordinary corn. Specimens of raw sugar manufactured near Chicago are shown both white and very sweet. According to an exchange to complete its manufacture into pure, granulated sugar, alcohol must be used to remove the foreign matter contained in the crude product. A bushel of oom yields thirty pounds of raw sugar, and this, when purified by alcohol, gives twenty-seven pounds of good sugar, marketable at four cents a pound. In other words, a bushel of corn made into sugar would bring $1.08. Bradley's Man Haxes.—This man who scoured the place he occupies by the grace of Returning Boards of the coun try should never be called President by the Democratic press of the country. We never intend doing so. This is in ac cordance with the action of our party. The Democrats in the House of Repre* sentives voted him a fraud, and the Dem ocratic Executive Committee declared him the same and requested that the fact be prominently kept before the people. We will do our share of the assistance. We believe in calling men by their oor- rect titles, and his Fraudulency is the only one which will apply properly to Hayes—or at least it will answer until a better one is found. An Estate Swallowed. New York Evening Mall.] Probably the most remarkable, if not ontrageous, case of the swallowing of a large estate by creditors and lawyers that has ever occurred in this city is that of the James B. Taylor property. When Mr. Taylor died he was supposed to have left at least half a million over all liabil ities. Whatever there was,it has all gone to claimants and counsel; and yesterday the widow’s wardrobe, worth $3,000, was ■old for less than $500, to satisfy the claim of the well-known rich contractor, Charles Devlin. Corruption in our National affairs has the same effect on the Government that a severe oough or cold has upon the human system. Political reform in the former and Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup in the latter case will remedy the evils. At the drug gist’s 25 cents. BROKEN MORE OF HAYES PLEOGM. Eight to Seven declared to a Republi can yesterday that he had never promised, nor given permission to his friends to do so, that he would immediately remove troops from South Caroline end Louisi ana. We wonder what his intimates, Matthews and Foster, will have to say. Now Senators Gordon, Lamar and several Congressmen of Louisiana and other Southern States have had a number of interviews with his Fraudulency. Their report, as conveyed by the Southern Press Agent, has universally .been that Bradley’s man has so talked as to oonvey the im pression that he would take off his dogs of war from those States. The South will believe their statements before they will numberless assertions from Bradley’s man. They are incapable of falsifying or de ceiving their constituents. Hayes most have purposely misled them, or they would never have been induced to believe what they did, and to which impression they have given publicity. Mr. Hayes has proven himself as* great a fraud as the means by whioh he obtained hit present position. He a trimmer of the first water. His state ments are too thin. They won’t wash. He still prates about his policy of peace. We can’t see it. We hear of an immense amount of protestation, bat not one sin gle act proposing peace. Does he think the South can be pacified by giving a plaes in his Cabinet to Mr. Key of Ten nessee, who was repudiated by his own State, and since he has become a member of “Eight to Seven’s” privy Council has acted just to the reverse of all that was calculated to produce peace in the coun try? He is pursuing the very policy to produoe hatred and discord. If his tao- tios be the evidence of his desire to cre ate reconciliation and concord he is pur suing the exact coarse to msgQify and aid a partisan party of the grossest character. We would rather have Grant with his blunt, open purpose plainly dis played than the attempt of Hayes by de vious ways and breaking solemn pledges to attempt the formation of a national party. The entire voice of the South is opposition to the partisanship of whioh Hayes is the head and front. Hayes has not shown by deeds the least disposition to promote the harmony of the country. To that he has arrayed himself in opposition. Can any one tell his Southern policy? What is there to accept? His own declar ations show the instability of his own po sition. He is one of thorn men who are trying to trim between parties and al ways desirous of shameless compromises. The country that trusts to him is lost. Not au appointment has he yet made which is approved by the country. He is a Republican, and a worse one than Grant. His entire pur pose as indicated by his acts is to pro mote that organization. He is a nonentL ty. Sherman, the most bigoted of South haters, rules this country. Let one single action, purpose or casual remark be brought up in whioh Hayes has evidenced nationality and not section. In appoint ing Key, he remembered that the Ten nesseean had without necessity and be fore the question fairly arose, opposed Cronin, of Oregon, and that vote won the Presideucy. Take him all in all, his ac tions, appointments, declarations and de nials, and Hayes is the most ignomious fraud ever foisted on the government of a people. Nothing good can be expected from the receiver of stolen goods, know ing them to be stolen. What is his policy ? Who can tell ? Echo answers who. Mad. Wells and Joe Bradley may. OPPOSING HAVES’ NEW POLICY. SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN ASSO CIATING FOR SELF-PROTECTION. Washington, March 20.—The thirteen Southern Republican members of Con gress, with Thornburgh, of Tennessee, at their head, have entered into an asso ciation for self-protection, This associ ation consists of the following-named gentlemen : Thornburg, of Tennessee; Darrel], Smith, Leonard and Nash, four Republican members from Louisiana; Jorgensen, of Virginia; Brogden, of North Carolina; Rainey and Cain Smalls,of South Carolina; Bisbee, of Florida, with two Republicans from Missouri. These men have resolved not to go into any party canons on the organization of the next House, unless they oan dictate their own terms. They say they were left out in the cold by Hayes’ new policy, and they propose to see how he will got along with bis scheme of organizing the next House without their aid. They will occu py the distinguished position of Joe Brad ley upon the Electoral Commission in having the deciding vote, and some of the members of this association think that if they stand united they may be able to make Thornburgh Speaker. At any rate they will stand solid against any attempt to gyre the South over to the Democrats. The carpet-bag members of the Senate are also contemplating a similar nnion, so as to hold the balance of power on their side of Congress. Cultivate Cottou. From the Vicksburg Herald.] We hope that all the Southern planters will cultivate a large amount of this val uable article. We all know that cotton is King, and the more of it we have in the South the more King we will have. As long as we have the King amongst us, we are all right. The cheaper the King is the more universal he will be, and the more easily he will be reached by all classes. From the way the present crop went off, if we are right lucky with the next crop we will be able to realize between six and eight cents a pound for it. What a satisfaction it will be to us all to know that this fabric is thus placed in the reach of all, and that this is done by the noble, generous Southerners. No Afri can, or Chinaman, or Hindooetanee, or Turk, or Persian need ever to suffer for cotton while we raise it and sell it at, say seven and a half cents, whioh will be aboot the price realized next year. What the South needs is one vest, immense, hnge, tremendous crop of ootton, so that the world will be supplied for about three years. We would suggest for this year about thirteen millions of bales. If the South only had thirteen millions of bales on band, all the rest of mankind oonld get what ootton they wanted at very reason able fignres. Then the cotton supply wouldn’t bother us for a year or two, and we could engage in raising something to eat. This would be desirable, for unless we do raise our own stock, grains, grasses, etc., by the time the world wants more cotton we would have nothing on whioh to produce it, and it might coat the con sumer nearly what it cost to raise it. It would hsrdly be charitable for the South to charge the actual cost of cotton, for it is a necessary article, and we ought to produce it for glory. There are several other reasons why the South ought to make an immense crop of cotton. It keeps the time of the people fully employed. It only takes about fourteen months to make a good big crop of ootton. The eeed are good to feed cattle with, and if the cattle don’t like it as well as they do corn and hay it is their fanlt. But the most convincing reason is that we always have made big crops, and we ought to keep it up. If we can’t get all the money we want for fonr millions of bales, by all means let ns raise more.

Yesterday there was perhaps e slight abatement in the unprecedented glee which was experienced by Packard’s crew on Wednesday. Things assumed the old look of wretchedness, and renewed doubts took possession of the minds of the gar rison. The exnberanoe attendant on the acquisition of a “quorum” in the Senate had (subsided, and dark forebodings of the fntnre again cast the usual gloom over the doomed fort. The desire to do deeds of daring on bloody fields can with difficulty be suppressed. The men are “jist a spiling for a fight.” This was fully demonstrated yesterday morning by two of the gallant followers of the “Boss,” whose warlike ardor oonld bo restrained no longer, and, just for practice they pitched into each other and had an inter esting set-to all by themselves. The militia was the cause of the fracas, one of the parties who had onoe occupied the honorable position of parish judge in one of the conn try parishes declining to affix his signature to the rolls when re quested to do so by a recruiting officer. The ex-judge and militiaman determined to test which was the more powerful—the gown or the sword. Gown got the bet ter of it, when the combatants were sep arated. This little warlike iocident caused a few of the members of the House to become belligerent, and almost immedi ately after roll call, Davidson, of Iber villa, introduced a resolution declaring the Speaker's chair vacant, for the reason that the Speaker, by his arbitrary ruling on Wednesday, knowingly defeated the will of the majority and passed the general appropriation bill before it underwent the desired modifications The resolution was laid over, m so Mr. Hahn will retain the Speakership for a few days, at any rate. There was something of a fight over a resolution to seat H. Baburn, who is contesting the seat of H. Cockerham, of Bienville. One member, following the introduction of this resolution, moved to seat the defeat ed Republican candidate from Grant. This, however, did not take, as the House did not care about “going back ’’to such an extent on the Overturning Board, which had declared no election in Grant parish. Stewart, of Tensas, indig nantly expressed himself as opposed to seating claimants who were acknowledged as defeated. The Senate did nothing except squab ble for some time over the bill appropria ting $96,000 to defray the expenses of the extra session. Baroh made a lengthy har- angue, declaring that he was opposed, “on conscientious scruples,” to accepting funds for work which was not performed, The chief subjeot now is the arrival of the new Commission. Paokard received a dispatch, stating that no definite conclu sion as to who were to compose the Com mission was yet arrived at, but that it would prove satisfactory to the Radicals The arrival of the Commission is looked upon with disfavor, as it will necessa rily prolong the existing state of affairs, and the small amount of funds possessed by the Packard crew is rapidly dwindling. —New Orleans Picayune, March 23. GEORGIA NEWS. SENATOR STANLEY MATTHEWS BANQUET TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY—THE NEW SENATOR’S SPEECH, By Telegraph to the Herald.] Columbus, O., March 20 —A banquet was given to the members of the General Assembly to-night by Senator Stanley Matthews and wbb largely attended, Dem ocrats vieing with Republicans to do hon or to the new Ohio Senator. In response to the toast of the evening, Mr. Matth ews made a short speech, speaking sub- stantially as follows:— In the days of heathen mythology, when men received gifts from the gods, it was the custom to make sacrifices aud offerings for good honors and good things received. In later days these sacrifices for gifts received is in providing enjoy ment for the friends who bestow honors, and hence the calling together of this dis tinguished gathering. To-day’s proceed ings have their political significance, but I will not violate proprieties by refer ring to them, as it might injure the feel ings of friends. Governor Young, in his remarks concerning myself, has referred to the fact that I was without great expe rience in statesmanship or political mat ters. He says truly I have never been, and I hope I never shall be a politician, a seeker after office; but office hold ing for public good is but calling out in stincts of the highest, best and noblest sense. Such is my desire, and in this sense I hope to fulfill the expectations of warm and devoted friends. I hope to fill my honorable office in accordance with the sentiments expressed by the honor able genleman who is now onr President:— “He who serves bis country best serves bis party best.” (Great applause.) I feel great pride in being a native of the Buck eye State, a Buckeye of the seoond gen eration, aud whatever honor I achieve will be for the honor of my native and mnch loved State. I shall rejoice stand ing side by side with the distinguished, illustroas and upright Senator, Mr. Thur man, who now stands alone as the repre sentative of this State, whose people de light to do him honor. While I have in the past and probably shall in the fntnre differ with him politically, I shall have the highest opinion of him personally. I rejoice, too, that my Democratic friends to-day did not see fit to vote for me; that they did not seem to think it desirable to vote for any one else. Again I sincerely thank yon, and hope I may ever prove myself worthy of yonr esteem. Senator Reece, on behalf of the Dem ocrats, said that while he was sorry the meeting had not been oalled to celebrate the election of a Democrat, yet, as a Re publican had been chosen, he did not know another of that school of politics in Ohio who the Democracy would be better suited with than Stanley Matthews. CURIOUS SUIT AGAINST GRANT. GRN. DAMAGES DEMANDED BT A PERSON SENT TO A LUNATIC A8XLUM BX THE DISTRICT POLICE IN 1874. Washington, March 20.—Suit was en tered to-day in the Circuit Court of this District by Thomas Biggins against ex- President Grant for false imprisonment and $100,000 damages claimed. Theplain- tiff charges that the defendant, on the 23d of March, 1874,in the City of Washington, with force and arms assaulted, seized and laid hold of him and with great force and violence palled and dragged about the said plaintiff, and also forced and compelled him to go from and oat of his (plaintiff’s) store on F street to Police Head-qnarters, where he was imprisoned, without reason able and probable cause whatever, for the space of 24 hoars. He also charges that the defendant had him imprisoned in the Government Hospital for the Insane for the period of eight months ; and fnrther, that the defendant, on the 20th of No vember, 1874, compelled the plaintiff to go under guard from the City of Wash ington, on board a train of railroad cars, to the City of New York, and then and there, with force of arms, compelled him to embark on board the steamship Italy, and sail from thence to Liverpool, Eng land. The records of the detectives’ office show that Thomas Biggins was arrested on charge of threats, at 5 o’clock on the evening of March 21, 1874, by the Metro politan Police detectives and sent to the Insane Asylum, his unsonndness of mind having been certified to by Drs. Johnson, Elliott, and G. L. Magruder. It is stated that the threats were against Gen. Grant, whom he (Biggins) met as he was leaving the White House grounds for a walk, and that Biggins, raising a stick said: “If I catch yon at my bedside again I’ll knock yonr hosd off.” Gen. Grant replied: “Well; when I do so, knock it off.” It will be remembered that Biggins was be fore the oommittee on the administration of the affairs of the asylum as a witness a year ago, when he testified about the spirit of Gen. Grant being at his bedside, Ao. —Sunset Cox, Friday night had the largest lecture audience ever seen in At lanta. —The cadets are preparing for a big ball at the Kimball House on the 4th of April. —The net profits of the Sandersville and Tenniile railroad is about $200 per month. —Dr. Fred VonKamp, a well known druggist, died in Augusta, Friday, aged 60 years. —Mr. Hayes will have to decide be tween three applicants for the Lmnpkin post office. —Prof. H.

Special to the Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, March 24.—The President appointed Patten J. Anderson Register of the land office at Montgomery, Ala., and Samuel J.

At 10 o'clook to-night, the President had reoeived no farther acceptances to his telegraphic invitations to act on the Louisiana Commission. Gov. Brown is still the only fixed feature of the affair. HON. A. H. STEPHENS sent for Senator Gordon, of Georgia, to day, and desired him to correot the report of a conversation between himself and Mr. Fish, late Secretary of State. Mr. Stephens stated that he did not see the report until his attention was oalled to it; that the report was, in many respects, in correct. What he did say was in sub stance, that the South needed more than anything else, home rale and riddanoe of the evil of carpet-bagger-office-holders. In reference to President Hayes, Mr. Stephens Baid that if he aimed at a paoi- fication of the country, it would require great firmness on his part in adhering to the principles of his inangural address. What was wanted was non-intervention and the withdrawal of troops from the support of either government in South Carolina or Louisiana. He also said that in oonferiog offices in the Southern States, the President should look to those men who had the confidence of the ..peo ple of the Southern States, withont refer ence to present political creeds or associa tions. He should do as Washington did in the beginning. He appointed Hamil ton and Jefferson both as members of his Cabinet, when he knew that they were diametrically opposed in political principles. Mr. Stephens said in the appointment of Mr. Key, the President had initiated this example, and if in appointments to all other offices he should pursue this line of policy he might do vast good and se cure real peace and union; bnt in order to do this he must lose sight of the interest of this party or that, keeping solely in view the great idea of securing the best men for office, and removing animosity from the people, and fostering the pros perity and preserving the peaoe, harmony and liberty of the country.

Time 27 minutes and 10 seconds. WHAT THE PAPERS SAX. London, March 24.—Bell's Life says: Oxford would have won had not the bow oar Cowles met with the mishap of break ing an oar when passing Wilcox. The Pall Mall Gazette, after describing the race, complains of the unbusiness like way in which the jndge acted, and says it will be a warning to University Presidents to abstain in fntnre from em ploying waterman judges in general. CONCLUSION OF THE BACE. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, Maroh 24.—Off the Thames, three miles and six furlongs from Put ney, Cambridge again spruted and re duced the lead of the Oxford, which momentarily got ali aboard, as their bow man was seen to be in diffieulties and un able to use bis oar properly, consequent ly the Cambridge drew up within a third of a length off Godfreys, and a terrific race ensued thence to the finish, Oxford striving to retain their lead and Cam bridge to head them from the ship to the winning port, whioh was stationed at some distance. About the ship Cam bridge up drew,and the gun fired as the two crews raced past the judges amidst a scene of the wildest excitement ashore and afloat. On being asked the result, Mr. John Phelps, the judge, declared the race to be a dead heat. Immense oheering followed as the orews returned to Putney on the Thames Conversancy steamboat. The Standard says: Jnst at the White Heat, Oxford’s number one broke his row- lock, but was still able to row. Mr. Clit- ty was umpire. At the meeting this afternoon between the representatives of the crews the Judge stated that he never wavered from his de cision that the race was a dead heat. EASTER RECESS.

A PRINCESS IN BALTIMORE—HER RECEPTION BX MME. BONAPARTE—A BOMATIO STOBX. From tin Baltimore Gazette, March 19 ] The fact that a “real” princess, “the daughter of a king,” has been for some days sojourning iu Baltimore has not yet been publicly announced. The lady re joices iu the title of Princess Editha Lo lela, Baroness of Rosenthal, Countess of Landsfeldt. She is the daughter of Louis, King of Bavaria, her mother being Lola Mentez, a celebrated woman who visited America about 1851, and died some ten years later. The first wife of the King was Angusta, by whom he had one son, Maximilian. The princess, who is now residing with a friend on St. Paul street, is a lady of commanding stature, large physique and qneenly presence. She dresses in good taste and elegance. She is said to be in receipt of a band- some income, sufficient to enable her to live iu easy affluence. A few days ago the Countess oalled upon Mine. Bonaparte at her residence, Cathedral and Richmond streets, and was very graciously received. Mme. Bona parte is now in her ninety-fourth year, and it seems highly probable she may yet realize her expressed wish to live to be one hundred years old. Though fee ble she yet maintains fall possession of her mental faculties, and takes an active interest in public affairs, especially abroad. Her royal visitor withdrew after a pleasant interview. The Countess, in conversation with a representative of the Gazette, tells a romantic story of her own somewhat eventfnl life. When only three years of age, she says, she visited New York in company with Mr. C. F. Salamon and his family. She was the only child of Lola Montez. While a child in New York she was abducted, taken to Paris, and afterwards placed in the convent of the Black Forest, in Germany. While a pris oner there she states that she succeeded in forwarding surreptitiously to Dr. Paul N. De Messant, editor of the Paris Lan- terne, letters which were published in that journal. De Messant became much interested in his brilliant cor respondent, and arranged a plan for her escape. She was, she says, permitted to take on one occasion the place of the mother superior at the entrance, and made her escape. A year later her ro mantic flight was supplemented by an equally romantic marriage with Dr. De Messant. This occurred during the pro gress of the late Franco-Prussian war. De Messant received his title of Count before the close of tbe war. Together with him she removed to New York, where the connt and countess lived happily for three years, when the former died sud denly. His death occurred November 4, 1873. During her husband’s life she lec tured in New York in aid of oharitable objects, the Cuban cause, the proper sphere of women and kindred topics. She is by profession of faith an Episcopalian. The frnits of her marriage were four children, three of whom are dead; the fourth is being educated at Florence, Italy. The countess, it is understood, is not yet thirty years of age. She is a lad; of education and culture and highly ac complished. She draws and paints re markably well, and is a brilliant and agreeable conversationalist.

Johnson, of Cincin nati, was renominated by the Democrats. The National Bank of Gloversville,New York, has closed doors. Two-thirds of its capital is tied up»in worthless paper. —It is said Dana, now of the New York Sun, wrote the “On to Richmond” arti cles whioh appeared in the New York Tribuna in 1861. A Judge who Sentenced his own Son. —It hasn’t often happened since the dayB of Bratus that a father has sat in judg ment and passed sentence on one of his sons. The mention of an old Canadian judge’s name in a newspaper recalls to me this incident in his life. The son was addicted to liquor, and for drunkenness was sent home from Upper Canada Col lege. At home he continued his career of worthlessness, and one night, out of sheer drunken folly, picked a friend’s pocket of his handkerchief, and thought it would be a rare piece of fan to take also his watch. Accordingly he knocked him down, tied his hands and deprived him of his watch. The friend had the humorist arrested for highway robbery, and in dne coarse the yoang fellow came before his own father, who sent him to the penitentiary for five years, and cat his name oat of the family Bible. I would like to be able to say that the youDg man reformed. Historical accu racy, however, compels me to declare that he married, was suspected of a railroad robbery, started a livery stable and drank himself to death.—Montreal Letter to Chisago Times. Deal Gently with the Stomach. Do not rack It with violent purgatives, or permanently inpair its tone with indigestible drugs of any kind; but, If your digestion is Im paired, your liver out of order, your frame de bilitated, or nervous system unstrung, use that wholesome and agreeable alterative and tonic Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, whioh well cer tainly afford you the desired relief. None of the officinal remedies can compare with It in restorative efficacy, and as a medicinal stimu lant It is by far the most desirable as well as popular aitlcle of its class Its basis, the es sential principle of round rye, is the best possi ble agent for hastening the action of the bo- tanlo ingredients which it holds in solution, and those ingredients are the most efficacious which chemistry extracts from the vegetable kingdom, and medical science applies to the cure ol disease. mh25 eod&wlw Nkw York.
