MILLIONS Bear Testimony to tlidr
Wonderful Curative Effects*
They arc not a vile Fancy Drink, made of Poor
Hum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li
q ii ors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers.” “Restorers,” &c., that
lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but arc a true
Medicine, made from the .>ntivo Root sand Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants*
They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of tho 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 tho point of repair.
They arc a Gentle Purgative as well as a
Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as
a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or
old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at
the turn of life, those Tonic Bitters have no equal.
For Inflammatory ami Chronic Rheuma
tism ami Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil
ious, Remittent am! Intermittent
Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys nud
Bladder, these Hitters have been most successful.
&uch Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of the Di
gestive Organs.
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache,
Pain in tho Shoulders. Coughs, Tightness of the Chest
Dizziness, Sour Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste
iu the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart,
Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in the regions of the
Kidneys, ami a hundred other painful symptoms, are the
oflsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver 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 systenj.
FOR SKINDISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal
Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car
buncles, Ring-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas,
Itch. Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Dis.
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 of those 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 tho skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you fiud it obstructed and
sluggish in tho veins; cleanse it when it is foul, and
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of tho system will follow.
Pin, Tape, uml 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 tho faco of the earth
whose body is exempt from tho presence of worms. It
is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No
System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics,
will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

The Kfl'rel of In inn pent it ee.
Among the names registered at
the Tombs the other night, was that
of a youth about fifteen years of age,
who had been arrested lor drunken
ness. But be was not drunk, nor
had he been drinking. He was,
moreover, iu good sound health, hut
gave all the external indications of
being intoxicated when arrested hy
a police officer. Upon protesting to
the keeper of the Tombs that be was
not intoxicated, it was revealed that
the unfortunate youth had been born
it natural drunkard, or rather that he
had always acted like such a thing.
He said that although in good health,
he had never been able to walk with
out staggering. His speech was
not unlike that of persons in a de
cided state of intoxication,and when
excited he would mutter and reel.
The uuthrluuale youth was detained
until the next day and was not sent
to court to he gazed at tl rough ju
dicial spectacles. A substquent in
vestigation ol the ease ptoved that
the lad had been telling the truth
about himself, but his condition re
vealed a demonstration of the natu
ral law that the child is a tair copy
of his parents. It appears that prior
to marriage, the father had been a
secret but confirmed inebriate, and
when the facts became known to the
woman thus suddenly and unex
ptctedlv, she wept in the most terri
ble manner. Almost broken heart
ed she contemplated the future mis
eiy in store for her.
Mouths passed away, when it was
discovered that the child at three
years of age, acted strangely ; and
at the end ol six months the unhap
py woman fully realized alt her fore
bodings. The effect produced upon
the mother was not without the inllu
once upon the fuller, however.
Realizing in the midst t>! tears of
bitter anguish the sin that had l><-en
visited upon the child, the man re
firmcd. He has now, several bright
children, and most exemplary ones,
too, they are. But the boy that was
brought into tlie Tombs was not
drunk, but had entailed upon him a
l.fe ol misery.—A. Y. Tribune.
TwiT Yankees strolling in the
woods without any arms in their
possession, observed a bear climbing
a tree, with its p;t -- s clasped around
the trunk. One of them ran lor
ward and caught the bear’s paws,
one in each hand. He then called
out to his comrade :
'Jonathan, tun home atul bring
something to kill the varmint. Mind
you don’t stay, or I’m in a fix.’
Jonathan, ran off', but stayed a
long lime. During the interval the
bear made several attempts to bite
the hands of him who held it. At
length Jonathan came back.
■Hallo, what kept you so long ?’
‘Well, I’ll tell you. When I got
home breakfast was ready, so I
stopped to eat it. 1
‘Well,’ said his comrade, ‘come
you now, and hold the critter while
i kill it.’ •
Jonathan seized the bear's paws
and held the animal.
‘Well, have you got hold of him?’
•I guess I have.’
‘Very well, then, hold fast; I am
off for dinner.’
A Eacy Examination.
The following racy examination
of candidates for admission to the
bar is taken tiom the. Western Law
Journal:
The examination commenced with,
“Do you smoke ?”
“I do, sir.”
“Have you a spare cigar ?”
“Yes, sir.” (Extends a short six.)
“Now, sir, what is the first duty
of a lawyer?”
“To collect fees.”
“Right. What is the second ?”
“To increase the number of cli
ents.”
“When does the position towards
clients change?”
“When makingout abill of costs.”
“Explain.”
“We then occupy the antagonistic
position. I become the plaintiff and
he becomes the defendant.”
“A suit decided, how do you
stand with the lawyer conducting
the other side?”
“Cheek by jowl.”
“Enough, sir. You promise to be
come an ornament to your profess
ion, and I wish you success. Now,
you are aware of the duty you owe
me ?”
“Perfectly.”
“Describe it.”
“It is to invite you to drink.”
“But suppose I decline?”
Candidate scratches his head.
“There is no instance ol the kind
on record in the books. I cannot
answer the question.”
“You are right. And the confi
dence with which you make the as
sertion shows conclusively that you
read the law attentively. Let’s take
a drjnk and 1 will sign your certifi
cate.”

What deed of iicnevoleuee or honest
fame has been achieved? Other
lands have been plundered l>y tin
oppressor, but none was ever left so
naked and destitute of every advan
tage arising from its own mighty
contributions.
The great Napoleon wasted the
substance of Fiance, and consumed
her vitals iu the remoiseless rage
of ambition ; lie hurled the ris
ing generations of his empire one
after the other into the llaming vor ex
of war ; ho g ive them to the edge of
the sword, and t<» the unconquerable
I fury of the elements ; he palsied all
the industries, and blighted every
field and fireside ; the shadow ol
the tax gatherer and tiie conscript
officer Id I on every foot of French
soil; and yet convulsive sobs ofgrief
shook the bieasls id' his subjects
when he fell ; and the whole empire
stood uncovered at his hier when
his dead body was brought hack
from the tropical seas to sleep in her
bosotn. Though he had oppressed
France, he had given her glory iu
return. Tttough he had taken with
unlicensed hand, lie had adorned
her as a lover does the mistress of
Ijis heart. Stately buildings reared
their heads on high ; solid thorough
fares were opened for the people ;
waste lands were drained and re
claimed ; eduealioa was fostered;
the arts and sciences were munifi
cently patronized, and a code ol laws
was passed and promulgated which
established and enfold and (foinestie
justice and peace. She had these
benefits ol which to boast w hen re
minded of her awful sacrifices.
And when Cmsar, the armed con
qneror and spoilatnr of his own and
other eomiuics, lay in bloody funer
al state in the marketplace, it was
said of him in truth :
“He lialii brought umny captives home to
Homo
Whose ransoms did the general coffers till,”
And—
“ When that the poor have cried, C:esar hath
wept.”
And again the orator ofiiis good
deeds exclaimed :
“Here istlie will anJ under Crusar’s seal,
To every Roman citizen he gives,
To every several man. seventy-five drachmas.”
“Moreover, he hath left you all his walks,
His private arbors, and new planted orchards
On this ii le Tiber ; he hath left them you,
And to yen r heirs f >rever ; common pleasures
To walk abroad and recreate yourselves.”
If he Ind plundered the Roman
treasury, lie had often filled it again ;
it his vaulting ambition brought sor
row to the poor, he sympathized with
them ; il his career was stained with
extortion, he expended his gains in
beautifying the Eterna Ciiy ; if he
had robbed the people of their sub
stances in his lifetime, he provided
that much of it should return to them
at his death. And if we turn from
the lar off'regions of antiquity to the
immediate present, still we find nu
parallel to the evil administrations
of the South. With what a clamor
the corrupt practices of four or five
men in the city of New York have
been hailed lor many months past.
The air has hi cn vocal; the press
has resounded; the telegraph has
been made weaty of its daily bur
den, and the accusing voice of self
righteous indignation lias been uni
versal and unceasing. The Demo
cratic parly, it is true, crushed these
men in an instant; but still the sto
ry of their offences salutes us every
where. And yet their work of ex
tortion, compared to that in the
South, is as the mote to the beam,
the mole hiil to the mountain, the
speck in the sky to the cloud that
overspreads and darkens the whole
heavens. Their crimes, too, have a
still further mitigation in the com
parison. If they enriched them
selves, they at least did not take all.
They made New York the wonder
and the glory of modern civilization.
II they robbed the people, they be
stowed upon them in return a city
more magnificently adorned with
public works than Rome or Paris in
their days of pride, of pomp and cf
power. Her glorious parks, her vast
avenues, her newly opened, solid,
and far reaching streets will testify
to after ages that her officials be*
quealhed to Iter some compensation
lor the wrongs they inflicted upon
her good name. No such conduct
illuminates u single page of the pres
ent epoch in the S uni). You look
in vain from Hampton Roads to the
Bay of Galveston lor a single motm
ment erected to the public good by
that party which has so sternly and
so corruptly governed in all that
wide-spread region. No colleges, 1
seminaiies or schools founded and
endowed with treasures that have
been stolen ; no lofty edilices or du
rables roads constructed ; no massive
j bridges thrown across wide rivers ;
| no [virrln-d pi .ins irrig tied arid made
i productive, no rice swamps ditched
anil red■*«*(ned lor cultivation ; no
eatrds cut in order to connect the
uaiural channels nt trade and com
merce ; no livers improved or har
bor- made more spacious and secure;
none of these works ol utility and
1 patriotism relieve ihe monotonous
j desolation which unholy"avarice and
■ unrestrained oppression Ins stamped
upon the Somli. She has nothing
to mitigate her degradation. She
has been stripped and robbed and
left by the wayside. Her effects,
moneys and credits have been
transported to other states and
climes, to return to her no more for
ever. Her well-lavored and fat
fleshed kme, feeding iu her mead
ows, have been devoured. The
frogs, the darkness, the lice and the
! locusts Idi more hle»siugs behind
I them *in Egypt than this porii >n of
j the republic has received from its
I modem rulers.
I’KRORATIOX.
Sir, 1 challenge the and irk annals of
the human race tor a parallel to the
robberies which have lie n perpetra
ted upon eleven American States.—
Ireland has been made to enrich
many a lawless lotd lieutenant, sent
over by England to g >vern that
!)>-aulilul but unhappy i.-lund. The
stmics of her wrongs mid pillage
have been said and sung in every
hamlet in the civilized world ; vet
her contributions to the cause of a
wicked government have been mere
pittances compated with what the
South has been compelled to make.
Seventy years before the biitli
ol Christ, Sicily was ravaged and
despoiled by a con-ul of Rome.
Tliiiugb more than nineteen centu
ries have come and gone since then,
vet til-' name ol Verres retains all its
freshness of imuioital infamy. He
v as prosecuted by the authority of
the Roman Senate, ami lied for an
asylum to strange and loieign lands.
He died miserably in exile, and his
dishonored dusL was not permitted
to mingle with the soil ol the Roman
Republic. We find, however, in
Middleton’s Life ol Cicero, that all
the peculations, extortions, bribes
aud larcenies charged upon Verres,
during his entire administration of
the affairs of Sicily, did not exceed
two million dollars, equal to only
one-third of the amount for which
the Tribune ofNew York, rays Gov.
Scott, fraudulently issued theHionds
o! Soulb Carolina iu a single trans
action. The basest Roman consul
whose name is preserved on the
pages of the historian, becomes re
spectable by the side of a S< uthern
Governor under the present policy
of this government. The crimes of
Warren Hastings, as the ruler of dis
tant and conquered colonies, have
long been the theme of .-welling pe
riods and lofty declamation. There
was much in his situation to extenu
ate Iris offenses. He was charged
bv bis government to bold its valua
ble possessions on the opposite side
of the globe. He was in the midst
of fierce, revengeful and undying
hostilities. He was sui rounded by
a race with which he had no bond
or lie of blood, or of language. It
was perfidious and cruel, and mock
ed at the faith of treaties. But even
admitting that his guilt was as great
as it was painted by the flaming im
agination of Burke or the impassion
ed rhetoric of Sheridan, yet all the
burdens he imposed upon all the
East Indies do nut equal those which
have been fastened upon the two
Slates of Georgia and Louisiana
alone, since the disastrous dawn of
reconstruction.
Sir, on the facts which I have
stated I invoke the judgement of lire
country. What right have you to
expect peace and oider in a land
whose rulers are lawless felons?—
When did a bad government ever
fail to produce wickedness and
crime ? Do you expect the people
topbey the laws when their officials
do not ? Do you expect them to
love and reverence a government
whosfe policy ba3 made them bank
rupt and miserable? Do you won
der that they become restless, des
perate, and disobedient as they dai
ly behold the fruits of their toil stol
en in the name of their government ?
Are you amazed at scenes of vio
lence, outrage, bloodshed aud cruel
vengeance, when the Executiveot a
Slate sets aside the entire adminis
tration of justice? Rather should
you be filled with astonishment at
the forbearance and moderation you
have witnessed. If the foremost
agents id the work of Southern ruin
and destiuetion since, the close oft 1
the war, bad lieen driven from that I
country hy its plundered citizens,
who uow would rise up here and
condemn the act ? Iu the disorders
which afflict the South, the philo
sophic mind beholds ihe inevitable
results of well known causes. Had
you sown thq seeds of kindness and
good will, they would long ere this
have blossomed into prosperity and
No. 62
peace. Had you sown the seeds of
honor, you would hive reaped a
golden harvest ol contentment and
obedience. Had you extended your
i charities and your justice to a dis
tressed people, you would have
awakened a yralelul a flection in re*
turn. But as you have planted in
hale and nurtured in corruption, so
have been the fruits which you have
gathered.
A Juuyof Pkkks. —There dwell
| some years ago, in Bourbon county,
; Kentucky, a drunken, worthless,
J one eyed fellow named C————,
| whose chiet occupations were get
! ling'tipsey and fighting. There had
! just been elected anew proserating
attorney, who was entitled to a part
ol the lines imposed on the malefac
tors ot Bourbon, and he determined
to squelch old C .. He did
not wait long f<»r an opportunity to
have him arrested. B , the
i om-table, said as it was an imjK>r
taut ease, he wanted about three
jda\s to get an appropriate jury to
| try it. On the third day the new
attorney was informed that things
were ready at the Court House
Tlu-re was the judge, and behind
him the constable. On one side sat
old one-eyed C ; on the other
the twelve jurymen, ‘jess like him,’
on the benches forming a triangle,
each with a plugol tobacco and j ick
knifr, the gilt ol the constable, whit
tling away, and, according to order,
*[iitting to the centre. The astonished
prosecutor looked to the jury, and
exclaimed :
“Where did the constable get
this jury?”
The constable quietly replied, “I
thought the prisoner was entitled to
be tiied by a jury of his peer,, and
I’ve been out three days hunting
’em up. I’ve got twelve l.ete, but
il you don’t like’em, I’ve got twelve
more outside waiting.’
The prosecutor looked and saw,
sealed on the fence, twelve more dit
toes, si mil rrly equipped uud em
ployed. He turned to the Court in
undisguised wrath and said :
“I’ll dismiss this case !”
The constable wrote his return on
the warrant thus, “Dismissed by the
county attorney on sight of the jury,'
ands »il stands recorded to this day.
The.prisoner was discharged, and
loti the court house rejoicing at hat
ing been deprived of his constitu
tional right of being tried by the
previously mentioned citizens.
[Harper's Magazine.
A Simple and Certain Remedy for
Dandruff'. —John L. Davis, in the
Journal ol Pharmacy, gives the fol
lowing, which all should remember:
The belief that dandruff arises
from a disease of the skin, although
physicians do not seem to agree on
this point, and the knowledge that
the use of sulphur is frequently at
tended with very happy results in
such diseases, iuduccd me to try il
in my own case. A preparation of
one ounce of sulphur and one quart
of water was made. The clear li
quid was poured off, after the mix
ture hail been repeatedly agitated
during intervals of a few hours, and
the head was saturated with this ev
ery morning. In a few weeks eve
