Just if much so at wholesone iced for one la whole

persons in disease are given to desoondenev expecting

THE . KIDNEYS.
The kidneys ara two In numhor, situated at the upper
, part of tho loin, surrounded br fat and consisting of
' three parts, via. -The Anterior, the Interior, and the
Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. The ln'etlor cowtita of tissues
or veins, which serve as a.cicposlt tor the urine and con
vey it to tho exterldr. The exterior is a conductor also,
terminating in a single tube, and called the Ureter. The
ureters are connected with the blndder.
The bladder Is composed of various coverings or tis
sues, divided into parts, viz.: Tho TVper, the tower,
the Kervous, and tho Mucous. The upper expels,
the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate
without the abll'ty, others urinate wi-bout tho ability
te retain. This frequently occurs In children. ' , '
To cure these allectlonB we must bring Into action
the muscles, which are engaged In their vatious
functions. If they oio neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may
ensue.
The reader must also be made aware that hawr-rr
slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect tils be 'ft
health and mental powers, as our fleia and blood ars
supported from these sources.
Gout or Rheumatism... '
Pain occurring in tho loin Is indicative ot the above
diseases. They occur In persona disposed to acid sto
mach and chalky concretions.
THE GRAVEL.
Tre Gravel ensue from neglect or Improper treat
ment of the kidneys. These organs being weak, the
water I not expelled from the bladdor.but allowed to
remain; It become tevarlsh and sediment forms. It
from this deposit that the stone Is lorned and gravel
ensue.
DROPSY
Is a collection of water In some parts of the body, and
bears different names according to the pars affeeud
vlx. : When genera ly, dllfused over the body. It Is ailed
Anasarca; when ot the abdomen, Ascitost when of the
chest, ilvdrothoiax.
TREATMENT.
lleimbold's highly concentrated compound Ixtrao
Bucha Is decidedly one of the beet remedies for diseases
of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical Swellings,
rheumetiBm and gouty affections. TJnder this head we
have arranged Dysarla, or difficulty and pain la passing
water, scanty setretion or small and ireciuect discharges
of water, Stranguiy or stopping of water, Homataria or
bloody urine, Gout and Rheumatism ot the kidneys,
wlthaut aay change In quantity, but iuorease ot oolor of
dark water. It was always highly recommended by the
late Dr. Physio, In these affections. , .
Tbl med'clne Increase the power of dlgostloa and ex
cites the absorbent Into healthy exercise, ky wbicb the
watery or calcareous depositions and all unnatural en-
. arements,a wellaapam and Inflammation, are reduced,

may ba lol'.owed'p, not only by tlie
piiulfbu.tDt of Crawtord Limself, but by aa
cflectivc inquest into tho conduct of Mior
tlet?ral WcitioU There can be little doubt that
Veitel openly recotriiized una encouraged tho
projects of a iluq ot whom it U hardly poaablo
that he bhnidd not havu known the hUlory and
the charticter; mid it is certain that by the
indecently Iioatilo nnd menacing tone of his own
correspondence with General Mejia at Mata
moras, he lea the ignorant and lawless on both

tiny nctp, no nitittor how digraceful and illoiral,
vtliicli n.ifrlit be partortoftd under the convenient
nlak of "republican reiHtauca to inioerial usur
pniion." The excitement cimned here by all
these ihinsi ir, visibly subsidin'j, exccptiuGr,
perhaps, nraong;the French soldiery and ollicers,
who breathe lorth war in all tha cafes. It
would be well if some of our own bellicose orators
1a t'oareps, aid ol our own ie coni'd nor soldiers
nut oi Couf, iCM, could hear themselves trans
latcd into 1'i onch a they hre ouly are. Colonel
rogerra, of the 2C0th Dliuois Iutantrv, who is

French souu-'.icuL.iaiit, who tel s of stormfni?
Wabhinglon and occupying New York, ai if tho
job would be really a sort of relief to men bored
to death with couqueilu'j Mexico. It U for

poBi at Malaniora3 vp under the command
xt this critical moment, not of a Frenchman,
but of a Mexican, and of a Mexican so enor
petic and po discreet a3 General Me.;iascemj to
hava proved himself to be. Mursaal Unzaine is
well understood here to te a" anxious for a war
with tho UnitPd sitatei as Genral (ir.niiii r
ported to be lor a war with France. It, is to be
hoped that the cood henso ot the millions of
Frenchmen nnd Americjrs who are neither mar
shals nor genera's will tsHeii lt.self in sucu a
fashion as to compel respeel on both sides for the
principles of international law. Thestricily "im
perial'' element here does not pavtaka this war
teeline towards tho Union, the Mexicans nut l
wily perceiting that the'r unhappy coiitry has
nothing to grin by becoming tho 'batik-ground
of two great powers. Nor do the more intelli
gent oi the French civilians abaaciou themselves
to the golden dreams of elory which intoxicate
their red-breeched compa'.iots. The leading
French iouronl here, Vhre iVouoeV,o, hastrcatel
the whole question of bndal with ex:rame
good eeose and moderation trom the beinulu'T,
pointing out tho absurdity of charging: the
United "States Goverainent with the acts of
Crawtord, at the time when ull the rcit of the
Me.ticsn press were pouring forth flames and
fury, ana now couniiellinj peace in tho interest
aliKe of France, Mexico, and the Uaion.
For ' this the Mexican public are in
debted to the fact that Mr. Masseras, the editor-in-chief
ot the Ere A'oueet'i, is ulmost a New

prouud the canttal. At this time the level
of Lake Te-.ueco is reported to lie a lew
Inches h'aher tbrn the c;ty, and ot course witi
the Le.iT.y rains ot summer there is great peril of
a complete inundaticn. A native Mexican engi

American fallons. these prices would be equiva

actual cost to tbe Kut-'inh niannlacturer was stated
at Is 8d. per gallon, or 25 oents per American gal
lon, ho that the English producer would have a
margin of 17 cents per gallon over our shipper.
Allow Ave cents per gallon tor the rtidjrouce in
quality, and bis margin would still be 13) cents per
gallon. It is not probable that the cost hr.s mate
rially increased, es tbe supply ot coal, "'labor and
money has not been bubject o fluctuation. It ollows
that the precent profits 01 the loreigu producer must
Level y great, aud the inorce.sing demand for tho
anicle gives lnni such a certain market that be has
110 lLducemcnt to destroy our trade by lowering his
prii i ; but it also follows that, it the demand suouid
iu 1 oil' greatly, we will be driven from the markets
ot iuiiupi , unless there should be a 1 eduction ot the
cesrge1, expenses, and burdens on our community
upon tbis side, l'ne only advantage w have is in
Re tuer qualify of our oil, which causes it to be pre
ferred by the better clr.ss of consumers. But if the
difleiei ce In puce should increase greatly, that pia
terence will be abandoned.
Le. us see whether the refiner can make any profit
in his business, buTing the crude oil at thirty oents,
and selling the reliued at forty-eicht. It will ba re
nu tnlereu that one gallon of crndo will yield three
fourths of a gallen ef refined, or ou ana one-third
calletis of crude will yield on gallon el relined.
Tbe cost of the oil itself, therefore, is forty cents,
and the cost of refining Is five cents per gallon. A
number ef the refiners have trom three to lour hun
dred thousand dollar invested. The depreciation
ot 1 be property is great, and tbe risk of total loss by
tire 1b also very great. Now will throe cants per gal
lon difieronoe Wwten the bare cost and the selling
price of refined, pay for all this depreciation and
risk, and for tbe cse of the capital, and yield a living
pi o tit? It is evident that It wlil not.
it is in evidence that even In Novtmber last, when
plots were much higher than at present, witain
two miks of 1 ituavllle more than one hundred wal s
Lad stopped, merit of them on account of tha Gov
ernment tax, bc.ng wells which wou'd yield from
five to seven barrels- per day Generally tbecs

IT it be tin tbtt a twonty-barrel well (worked
neon a rovaliy entails a lc:i on the owner of tan

brsmc3s, as a whale, is a losing business, and no
Uitlier arrament is needed te prove the neccy;ity of
tbe immediate aholitien ot the tax upon ornde.
It may be staled, however, as tbe unanimous
OTiinion ot the Commission, that 01 all taxes, the
most Joit and the lei.st obnoxious are thono ia-d
equally upon accumulations ei capital, ana tne most
unjust sad most obnoxious thote whioh trauiinul

crease to the poorer classes the expenses of living. In
both ot thesn respeois tbe dntiei on oil are objection
aole, and therefore, while tbe Commission have pro
poned no naaiodiato redaction ot the tax on refined
01), t'ley have expressed tbe opinion tu fieir general
report, that herealtcr that tax should auo be re
duced.

The average number of barrels paid 01 for the

The excitement am on? the Fenians of the
ci'y, which wrs created bv the news from Ire
land, 6till contiuues. No decisive action, how
ever, lies yet bem taken by the Central CoimcU,
who were in session yesterday at tbe O'ilahony
Headqnm ters. The bnsiuoss they transacted
consisted mair-ly iu making a-.ranen.enti for
the great demoTttation $0 take place on Sunday
next, at Jonc3' Woods, when the views of the
leaden on the present phacs and prospects of
the Fenian movement will be presented.
Many of tne Circles met last night at their re
spective headquarters in this city, and heard
stioiitr addresses lrom prominent members of
the Brotherhood. The following wai the princi
pal meeting:
DEMONSTRATION AT TEMTEBANCH II ALL IMPORT
ANT ADDBKBS OF HEAD CENTRE o'M AIIONY.
A lare Feniun meetiair was Leld last nisrht in
the Temperance Hall, coruer of Eighth avenue
and Thirty-. ourth street, under the auspices of
theRcliard Uulton Will, atns Circle. Mr. 11. J.
I arrell, the Centre of the organization, called the
meeting to order, when Colonel O'Mahcny, the
Hcud Centre, enived, aud was received with
loud applause.
ADDRESS OF Tna HEAD CENTRE.
When silence was res,ored Colonel O'Mahony rose
end relened to the news which bad been received
that Ireiana'a wrongs had been aggravated br tbe
establishment ot maxial law in that country. ' It be
hooved, however, all wbo weo true to their father
land, te help her in this, horhour ol need (Applauss.)
But tor ti-e secession movement inaugurated in the
f enlan ranks, the contest lor Irish ludepenaenoe
won d have been oomu.eneed three niontDS since.
That mo vena, ut had postponed tbe blow to
bo struck tor the hborty of Ireland. but for
the treason and rierfldy ot the Senate, which had
prevei.te tho sale 01 the bends and inaugurated a
worthless movement to invade Caiada, a vast army
of the Brotherhood would have before this been en
raged In the glorious stiuggle which was designed'
to result in the establishment of a republic on Irish
soil. (ApDiause.) The assuition of the seoeders
that there was no organization iu Ireland was suf
lioirutly contradicttd by the faot thai theiUiitish
Government had lound it necessary to suspend the
writ of habeas corpus. (Applause ) A lay days
since, a convention of officers, lome of whom hud
receutly returned from Ireland, was held in this
cuy. Tbov had deoided, after calmly considering
te situation, that the time lor action had arrived.
In that convention there wore generals equal in
military knowledge, and vastly superior in experi
ence and talents, to the General (oweoney) woo
bad opposed tbe movement to striae a blow lor
Jneh liberty on Irish soil, ihov wore aiso his
superior in patr otum and in all that ennobled the
man. But it was not yet too late tbeir brethren
in Ireland were now probably np in' arms.
(Applause.) He was led to believe tnat by tne
in loi mation which had been lurniihed by Captain
AlcCafierty, who was receutly in Ireland. (Loud
applause.) Let the Irishmen in America do taeir
duty. Let them supporc the cause, and tho
at my of liberators would bis enabled to fulfil their
f remises by achieving the independence of lreiaad,
Applanse.) liis own earnest desire was to be in a
potiticn to sail lor Ireland, that be might plant tho
standard ofa new reputlio on the shores of bis
native land. (Applause ) He was tired of tbe toil
some work of protraotc a organization, and he de
sired to go home with as little delay as possiole, in
order to bring tbe movement to a final issue. (Loud
oheers )

Washington, March 2. At eieht o'clock last
evening some foity membcrj of the Iron and
Bteel Association called at Speaker Col i ax's resi
dence, when Mr. Lrono, of i'ittsbti-e, adiiveuod
him in behalf of his interest. To which Mr. Col
lax replied as follows:
Gentlemen : I tbank you for the honor of this
call; my duties have prevented attendance on tho
teisioai of your Convection, in which Ihive felt a
deopimerrst, The Gan-r'iel at wHose feet I lcarad
the value of fostering end developing .sue; lean 1 1
dus ry wns Henry Clay, end otOiraUen aud exps
riince have only confirmad and strong. hencd '.'ice
principles. 1 woo d lather ituport the lndi'stnous
laborers ef tbe Old World, wno with their i'am'llc
cek a home under our fiug, than to impoit the pro
d acts 01 foreign looms and luira js, aroamaiaxlng
iorciun debt agalnt us. When the present tariff
persrd.it wsa insured that it was prohioitwy, aud
would lfcolate ns eommercic'ly from other rations,
like Japan in pest yer.:s. But under it oar im
portations now 1 are so enormous that but
for toe shipment of oar bonds abroad, to
pay this balance of trade, the draining of gold trom
ui would hive involved u already in a financial and
commercial crisis. In a long Journey the past sam
pler, I learned more ot the mineral roseurons of our
country than I had evor known before but other
development gratified me exceedingly. The Kooky
Mountains had attraoted immigration to Colorado
territory to seoure the gold waiob. glitteu in its
rod s, its rivers and ravines, imt iron and coal
love bo'h been iscently discovered there, and
( oloiado has commenced iron manufacturing in a
rmall way belore b . coming a State. Ca itoruia bad
been supposed to be destitute o coal, but it has
been lound recently n Mount Diaiioin, one of the
landmarks of he recitio cease which the travel er
foes a hundred miles off from the oreit of the Sierra
Nevada, aad iron is found at piaur points there.
Alter speakinn briefly of the wonderful pro
press apsf providential history oi the New World,
Mr. Colfax conoluded as follows: ,
People will travel to the veiy ends of a continent
for the prouions meta s, but urccious as tuey are,
thelrss valaahle mettls rron, copper, lead, eto
w inch, abound in oeritad eontribnte mote greatly
to our national wealth, i'hsonze aa we may, expe
rience proves that wbersver the busy bam of in
du.iry t heard, wherever the sho.-le fliesin ihe Ioojb
aud the spinule, and tbe trip-haaimer Is active in
our factories and torges, labor Is in qoick demand,
aad prosperity smiles on the land. Wben there
Is stat nation and decay in our manufacturing
industry, and we import lrom foreign countries
what we could produce within our own borders, the
paralysis thus caused is felt to tbe remotost extremity
of the Kepuclic, and by every Interest. Now that
the war lor tbe Union has closed, blessed as w are
with a nation vast in its area from ooean to ocean,
within the very parallels of latitade ia wbicb la
found three-quarters of the world's population,
nearly all of tt highest phases of otvilizauon,
abounding Iu all kinds at inlueral wealth, with un
equalled agricultural resources, with boundless water
power, with an industrious population, with Ameri
can euerry aud American enterprise, our future, if
our legislation la wise, will be more brilliant than
the most glorious annals ol our past.

A considerable sensation was created on the

appearance ot a well-dressed woman, who loudly

many husbands entirely concur, aud then, by

to diamantie herself. She had nearly got as far

Tbe Richmond Tfmes gives the following
advice to Virginians: "Let us, by the fairness,
justice, and humanity of our dealings aud Inter
course with the 'lreedmen,' demonstrate to the
conservative masses of the North that a Freed

of the emancipated negro. Let us prove that
we are the freedman's best friend, and seek to
make him useful, respectable, and intelligent.
The people of 8L Petersbarg, Russia, are

been the rendezvous of disappointed putuieurs,
