DR. J. BOVEE DODS’
IMPERIAL
WINE BITTERS
A RE COMPOSED OF A PURE and unadultered
Wine, combined with Barberry, Solomon's Seal
Comffey, Wild Clierry Tree Bark. Spikenard, Unmmo-
mile Flowers and Gentian. They are manufactured
by Dr. Dod* himself, who is an experienced and suc
cessful Physician, and hence, should not be classed
among the quack nostrimis, which flood the country,
find against which the Medical profession are so justly
prejudiced. These truly valuable Bitters have not
been fairly before the public for one year, and vet
there is a heavy demanu for them from all parts of
the Union.
Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35th Street, New Yoik,
say s:
I have been greatly benefitted by using Dr. Dods’
W iue Bitters, and am now using them freely and suc
cessfully in my practice. As a medicine for Females
I consider them unequaled."
Dr. Guernsey, No. 18 West 23d Street, says:
“I have used Dr. Dods* Wine Bitters in my practice,
ami in all cases where a tonic is required, I consider
them unsurpassed, and cheerfully recommend them as
a valuable Family Medicine.”
Dr. Meacham, of Florida, says:
For several years 1 suffered all the. horrors of Cron-
ic Dyspepsia. I used all other remedies without avail.
I discarded prejudice and used Dr. Dods’ Wiue bitters
which have greatly benetitted me, and I believe will
cure me.”
Mr. G- S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y., say«:
“My wife was sinking rapidly with cousninytion; the
best physiciansin Albany aud New York city pronounc
ed her case hopeless. She used Dr. Dods’ Wine Bit
ters; ami is cured.”
Mr. J. B. Staats.of Newark, N. J.,says:
“My daughter was extremely ill; she had been at
tended by four of our best physicians; her disease was
Inflamation of the Bowels, which had produced ex
treme <iebilily. Her <-a«e was consnlered hopcles*- by
all who saw l»er. A friend recommended Dr. Dods’
Wine Bitters; she used them aud is weil. ,,
Mr. Brittain, editor of the Banner of Light, in Boston
Piles of the worst and obstinate character.’*
A distinguished lady of Mobile, Ala., writing to a
female friend says:
“1 would advise you to use Dr. J. Bovee Dods’ Im
perial Wine Bitters. 1 have used them, aud consider
them a blessing to our sex.”
We might write a small volume, and then would not
give one fourth of the Testimonials in our possession, as
to the virtue of these Valuable Bitters, but we will on
ly say that they are approved of by our best Physicians,
are doing much good in all parts of the country, ami
earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.

American girls of good education, says
Haper’s Weekly, do not kriow how lucky
they are. Every American girl who is
s tne and soui d—and many who are neither
the one nor the other—has not one, but
many- chances of marriages. It is very-
different in Europe. In the country towns
in England marrying men are rare that it
is quite common to ste a dozen charming
girls, as well educated, pretty, and lady
like, fighting for a half starved curate or a
wretched attorney.—Among English moth
ers matcli-inaking is carried on to an ex
tent wholly unknown here; and not from
mean motives, but from she re necessity
In France no father expects his daughter
to get a husband unless she buys him
Every- man who has a daughter begins
when she is ten years old to save money to
buy a husband. Papa aud mama deprive
themselves of the luxuries, and even ne
cessities, to amass a respectable sum. The
boy’s education is cut short in order to
swell the daughter's purse. In piopoi-
tion to its size is the quality of her bus
band. A father who can give his (laugh
ter half a million of fiancs will expect a
Geneial or a Senator, and soon, down.—
In Germany, and indeed throughout Eu
rope, a father who expects his daughter to
marry, must buy a husband. In America
hearts are conquered, not bought. Any
good girl, however poor, can always if she
will outain a husband—and one she will be
proud of, and every way- worthy of her
hand and heart.

Lithography is an art of such dissemina
tion, and performs so important an office in
the great business of publishing, that few
persons probably think how very recently
it was discovered. George Scharf, a well
known engraver, who died near London
recently, at the nge of seventy-two, was
the first artist who practiced lithography
in England. He was born near Munich
in the year 1788, and learned the ait from
Sonufelder, who invented it. He had re
sided in England forty-four years.

Lincoln a Marplot.—Lincoln seems to
be in trepidation all the time for fear that
he will say something not in the program
me. At Philadelphia he says, in closing,
that “he may have been indiscreet.” This
is equal to saying it will not answer for me
to state frankly and honestly my opinions:
At Harrisburg he says that “his Pittsburg
speech was very carefully worded.” What
a confession for the President of the United
States, that he is going around the countr\
deceiving the people, like a harlequin ora
ventrilouuist! Lincoln not only leaks out
the double-dealing policy of his party, but
he even tells the people that he fears hi-
has leaked it out! He evidently has not
even sense enough to play 31arplot. He is
a regular botch.

Protection nu'iiin'l Drought.
In tillage, this can best be accomplished
by frequent stirring of the soil, so as to
keep it light and loose on the smface.
which then serves as a nonconductor of
moisture and retains it beneath, where the
roots obtain a supply. On the contrary,
when the earth is hard and compact, it
cracks open and peimits the moisture to
pass awav, from a great depth in a season
of drought. ! Iiese, who have not wit
nessed trom experiment and observation
tlie advantage ot a pulverized surface as
a protection to plants against drought, are
not likely to conceive its effect to be so
great as it is, although tlie thing plausi
ble and rational. Corn and other crops
that have been well hoed in extremely dry
seasons, have flourished, while parts ot
the same fields left for experiment were
rendered baren, and the crops worthless—
"here the crops were fiequently stirred
and kept pulverized on the service, there
was a constant moisture to be observed a
tew inches deep from the top; but where
the earth remained unmoved, it was dried
to a great depth. A narrow strip of land
was left for turnips and remained fora
considerable time unploughed; here, the
soil became dry, below the usual depth of
j loiighing, and even tlie weeds perished
-or want <>t moisture; while at the side ot
this strip, weeds of the same species
on the edge of tlie plowed land, were fresh
and vigorous, and the soil was dry, only a
very few inchesfiom the surface. Where
grain was sown, the earth was hard and
dry to the depth of six or seven inche.6.
w hile, by the side of it, where the soil was
stiircd occasionally, a very considerable
degree of moisture was found at the depth
ot only three or four. On this subject, an
intelligent cultivator observed, he would
rather have half a dozen men employed
stirring the earth to keep it loose and fine
dui ing a severe drought, than in watering
the crops.— hxchange.

Legislature recently adopted a resolution

I iacalw Immortalized.
Mr. Abraham Lincoln has succeeded in
immortalizing himself at the expense of
disgracing his country. What he may do
in the futuie remains to be seen; that he
disguised himself in a t'coH h cap and a
un itary cloak.and dodged into Washington
between two days, will remain a fact in
history that can only be accounted for,
either by writing him down a coward, or
the American people, what the Republican
papers charge them to he, assassins!—
Either horn of the dilemma involves a re
sult that no American can contemplate
without shame. The President of the
United States, a coward! The man to
step into the seat of Washington and Jack-
son, indulging in fears over absurd rumors
of assassinations! The Comnmnder-in-
Chief of tlie Army and Navy of the United
States, stealing into flic capital of ti e na
tion as a criminal or an outlaw evades the
officers of justice! Purely, if there are
good reasons for these precautions, then
have the American people sadly degener
ated. Assassinations have never been a
feature in tlieir history. Cowardly and
stealthy crimes have ntver distinguished
us as a nation, and such an instisuticn
against the people of Baltimore, distin
guished as they are for graceful hospitality
audgeuuiue politeness, is an insult of a
most atrocious char; cter.
Distinguished men, we are told, instiga
ted this plot against Mr. Lincoln’s life.—
Justice to all concerned demands that an
instant investigation be made, and if there
be any ground for this statement, that the
authors of the plot be promptly and sum
marily exposed and punished. We do not
doubt that tlie citizens of Baltimore will at
once insist that this be done.
As for ourselves, we have no hesitation
in saying that we regard the whole thing
as a stupendous humbug. 'The American
people are not assassins, and the whole af
fair has been conjured »ij> in the milids of a
few weak and timid old grannies, who have
succeeded in humiliating every American
in tlie eyes ot tlie nations of the world.—
Mr. Lincoln’s friends belong to the Feder
al school iu politics, and have no confi
dence in the honest masses. They believe
in a “strong government,” and hence their
terrified imaginations conjure up all sorts
of “phantoms and gorgons dire,” when they
think theie is any discontent amoug the
people.
That Mr. I.incoln was only frightened
at the supposed danger of passing through
Baltimore, is perfectly apparent. First, it
is alleged, that the 9 o’clock special train
trom Harrisburg, which was expected to
convey the Presidential party, was to be
tlnown off tlie track, and all on board
killed. The proof that they did not be-
lieve this story themselves is, that Mrs.
Lincoln and the remainder of the party
went to Baltimore iu this very train; that it
was not obstructed m any way. and that
the people along the route were quite as
well behaved, if not as enthusiastic, as
elsewheie, and could scarcely he convinced
that Mr. Lincoln himself was not on
board.
And even when the party arrived at
Baltimore, the people theie were equally
*:iwilling to believe that Mr. Lincoln had
committed so undignified and so cowardly
an act as logo on during the night, as it
was, just then, for the first time, currently
repotted he had. '1 lie people insisted that
Mr Lincoln was among the party, and
it was not until positively assuried that
such was not the case, that any manifes
tations of ill-feeling showed themselves.
Theu. it is said, that Mis. Lincoln had the
satisfaction of hearing the people send up
loud groans ol indignation at the couduct
of fier hsubaud.
Thus ends the journey of Abraham Lin
coln to Washington. He commenced by
imploring tbe protection of Providence
and the favor of tlie people, and ended by
distrusting both, and putting all bis confi
dence in a Scotch cap and a military
cloak! If lie was afraid to pass through
Baltimore, wliat must be his feelings in
Washington? True, be is under the aegis
of Gen. Scott’s protection, and a Pisetorian
Guard, tor the fiist time, stands -entinel
over an American President! But he will
need ever, more than soldiers to protect
him, lot they are but men, and like Elaga-
balus, he may tall by Ins own guards. He
will be compelled to resort to steel night
caps and dagger-proof blankets Just
think of Jackson miming for fear, and in
such a manner! On one occasion, in the
life of the old hero, he was informed that
an enemy of his, who had threatened his
life, and with whom he had long had a ter
rible feud, was on bis way with a party of
friends to punish him. He was stopping
at a hotel in some small town in Tennes
see, and bis friends advised him to close
his door and prepare for the worst. “Open
that door,” shouted Jackson at the top of
his voice. “Give my compliments to Mr.
, and say that Andrew Jackson will
be happy to see him.” The effect was
magical. The enemy melted before such
courage and no fight occurred. If Abra
ham Lincoln, when he heard tlie rumor
that the Main was to be thrown off the
track, had said. “I go now any how, 1 fe or
death; and wliat is more, I shall ride with
the engineer so that 1 may be amoi g tlie
first Li,.ed if any aie :o be”—i. he had done
this Le would to-day have Leea thrilling
the hearts of the American people with
his lieioism, instead of making tin m fee?
humiliated and chagrined at his ci wa d-
ioe. It a no wonder that C >1. ISiiinner
wept with indignation at the unmanly con
duct. It was only a wotidi r that tvjn
M rs Lincoln, with something like Spar-
ton heroism, had not preferred to see her
husband dead than dishonored. If there
had been real danger that the Republican
paper declare tlieie was, that is just the
very reason why he should have met it.
After he had heard of the threats against
him, if he had been a man of spirit, he
would have gone through Baltimore, if the
citizens of that p ace had cut him into
inch pieces! As it is. we write it down
with sorrow and shame, that the North is
disgraced in the person of its 1'resident.
