Medicine, made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali

They are the GREAT 111.00!) PUR 1 FI EES and
V LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno

dition. No person can take these Bittcr3 according to
directions and remain long unwell.provided their bones
ru o not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
They arc a Gentle Purgative an well n* n
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Livc-r, and all tiic Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or
old, married or single, nt the dawn of womanhood or at
; he turn of life, these Tonic Ritters have no equal.
For liiflnmrnntory nud Chronic Rhcnnin
t ism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent and Intermittent Fevers,
Diseases of the lllocd, Liver, Kidncyn and
Bladder, these Bittern have been most successful.
Such Diseases aro caused by Vitiated Blood.

eases of the Skin, of whatever nemo or nature, are literally
ting up and carried out of tho system in a shirt time by
tho use of 'theso Ritters. One bottle in such cases will
convince the most incredulous of their curative (fleets.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting: through tho skin in Pimples, Erup

sluggish in the reins; cleauso it when it is foul, and
your feelings win t-11 you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the system will follow.
I'iii, Tape, and oilier Worms, lurking in tho
Bystem of so many thousand", are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
is scarcely an individual upon live face of the earth
whose body is exempt from tl:<* presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worm* exist, but upon the diseased Rumors and slimy
deposits that breed these liviiir monsters of .isease. No
System of Medium, i:o vermifuge*, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

!An Interesting Incident of the Great
I Speech oi the Missouri Senator.
i A Washington letter to the Net'
i Orleans Times says :
i The effort made by Carl S. hurz
| will be long remembered as one o
the most remarkable exhibits ofora
| lory ever witnessed in a chamber
| f iinous tor such display. Those now
j living w ho can look hack with knovvl
j edge io the day when Webster, Clav,
j Calhoun and Corvin were wont to
jeh inn die ears of hearers in that
j forum, readily admit that ibis effort
! of Senator Schuiz low. rs above them
: all. This is saying much, for the
jnalur.il incl nation is to .xagsjerate
j the jiast. The orators ol a Former
day were remaikalile, but ibis one of
jours is a wonder. Senator Schurz
j has a remarkably clear ami rather
i piercing voice. He speaks with a
! great comm ut'd of language and
j somewhat German accent, but so
j far as choice ot words and construe
| tion of sentences are concerned, in
j tlie purest Eugiish. F.-r hours he
I held th'il vast assembly, and v ben
he closed ill* re was a strange ming
ling ot rebel au.l regr- I -uch as one
feels at die end ol a beautiful and
iragic opera, when ill ■ last strain
pours ml as tne curtain drops.
1 happened lo he witness to a little j
scene'of domestic beauty that was j
to me exceedingly touching. Mrs. j
Schuiz, wif.-.d ihe S.-nauir, is one ol i
tiie most beautiful and accomplished
wo uen in \\ ashmglon. llei expe
denee in social hie has n >t dimin
ished her sweet German nature that
r*Ris impulsive and gentle as a etiild.
She had read, as 1 subsequently
learned, die attack m ule by Senator
Crinkling on her husband, and wile
like she thought il lertibl.- anil un
ausweri-ble. On the Tuesday Sen
ilor Schuiz was to rt-jily she wan
dered about resile .-ly, and. at iast
unable to control herself, about 3
o’elo'-k yvenl to the Ca, itol. She
thought he would have con. luded.by
that tone, and all lor good or bud
musi be over. At the fim entrance
-be l o lll i.l the .looikeeju-r vvnh liis
head thrust inside. She asked lor
her husband.
‘Oh ! madam,’ cried lie* man, lie’s

‘Do come in,’ begged the Mass i

Over persuade.-!, she was erf
thiough the crowd toa corn, r, vc here
she .bopped into a seal kindly of
1.-r.-.l tier. She dropped her fair
head into tier hands, ni.ting he. face,
and we can imagine heard thm dear
voice in vindication—and in such an
earnest appeal lo the American peo
pie for justice lo ourselves and nuri
iy for our institutions, while ibe im
mense audience responded m deep
silence or wild applause. \V'hen
that voice ceased and at last she
looked up, her eyes were wet with
tears. Woman-like, she had tiiund
relief in weeping.
The Real End of the World.
—A correspondent, writing from
Henry Lake, in Montana, describes
the locality as a scene of wonderful
grandeur. The lake is situated in
the Rocky Mountains, at an altitude
of live thousand feet above the level
of the sea. Looking from a high
peak near this body of water, he saw
the panorama of the most wonderful
region known to man. For within
scope of the eye from that point—
having their origin in Henry Lake—
are the sources ot five of the grand'
est rivers on the face of the globe,
born, as it were, in the same little
lake, and drinking all from the same
small spring. Here the Yellow
stone, Snake and Green Rivers, as
well as Clark’s Fork, Wind River,
Madison and Gallatin, start together,
leaping and bounding in great cata
racts, and rushing in every direction
to empty themselves into the Pacific
anil AdanlicOceans. Beyond alow
mountain l<> the southeast, the eye
falls upon the spectacle of the steam
ascending from the ’scape pipes of
purgatory, (-utmeumes called gey
-er.«.) io mingle with the clouds.—
‘Tins,’ exc auns the correspondent,
in a burst of entnusiastic wonder
ment, ‘this is the real end ot the
woi Id.

As sometimes small evils, like in
visible insects, inflict pains, and a
single hair may slop a vast machine,
the chief secret of comfort lies in not
suffering trifles to vex one, but in
prudently cultivating an under
growth of small pleasures, since very
few great ones are let on long leases.
A happy pair made choice of the

WORDS AND iit. tit tvc.».
from Richard Grant \V bite’s new
volume bearing the above title, we
quj:e a few paragraphs showing a
nice sense of discrimination founded
on practical view's ot ihe subject!
Aggravate. This word ‘ should
never be employed in reference to
persons, as it means merely to add
weight lo—to make an evil more op
pressive ; injury is aggravated in
sult. Sometimes improperly used in
the sense ofirrilale, as, ‘I was very
much aggravated by bis conduct.’
Balance, in the sense of rest, re
mainder, residue, remnant, is an
abominafoii. Bdance is metapho
rrcally the difference between two
sides ot an account—the amount
which is neo-ssary to make one
equal to the other. Yet we coiuin
ualiy hear ot the balance ot ibis nr
that thing, even the balance of a
congrega ion or the balance of an ar
my.
Haunt i/u! is aplprcable to persons
oniy. A giver may be bountiful,
Imi his gift cannot—it should he
called plentiful or large. A ‘bounti
ful slice’ is absurd.
tctch t xpresses a double motion
first from and then toward tiie
speaker; it is exactly equivalent to
•go and bring,’ and ought to be used
in the s-nse of ('ring alone.
Calculate, besides its sectional use
tor think or suppose, is sometimes,
in the participate calculated, put for
likely in apt. ‘That nomination is
ealeu aied to injure the party.’ It i*
calculated (designed) to do no such
tiling, though i may be likely to be.
Citizen should not be used'except
when the possession of public.l
rights is implied. Newspaper re
porters have a bad habit of bringing
it out on all occasions, when ‘pri
sons' would express ilien meaning
much belter.
