I'KEE*TRAI)ERS NONPLUSSED.
About the most troublesome things the
theoretic free-traders have to d-al with are
plain, common sense facts. They are meet
ing with a very ugly fact just now in their
advocacy of their British free-trade ih ■■>-
ries. While they are bewailing the imagi
nary evils we are suffering bere under a pro
tective tariff, and praising the beauties of
British free trade (and pauper wages for
workingmen) the news comes from England
that the artizans and manufacturing opera
tives arc coming to the United States by
thousands, for the purposa of bettering
their condition. Th.se stupid Brit'.-h la
-1 orers, much to the di-comfort of our free
trade theorists, refuse to see the attractive
ness of free-trade and pauper wages and
insist upon trying their fortunes :n tins tar
iff ridden country, where the free tra hrs
tell them everything is going to the dogs
just because we have a protective tariff.
So much for theories as opposed to practi
cal experience. These laborers fiud by ex
perience that, whatever the theoretic b au
ties of free trade, they can get better wages,
better food, and make a Lett i living where
the industry of the country is fostered l.y
protective duties; they arc therefore anx
iously hurrying to the United Stales. A
few ol these theorists try to get over the
difficulty by asserting that this immigration
of British laborer.- is on account of the
crowded population of England. But here
they find themselves in another dilemma.
Canada isfai mere sparsely populated than
the I eitedStates, and enjoys all the advanta
ges ofaßriti.-h free-trade government,but the
Canadians rtfuso to see the blessings thus
conferred upon them in the estimation of
our theorists, and are pouring into the
United States by tens of thousands.
Though Cauada has but a small debt, light
taxes, free-trade, ami an almost indepen
dent government, and according to our the
orists ought to enjoy the most abundant
prosperity and happiness, her foolish inhab
itants persi.-t in fleeing from licr as from a
plague-spot, and seeking a refuge in these
debt burthened, tax-ridden, tariff cursed
I nited Slates. Verily the perversity of
human nature is mote astounding. Why
do these laboring men persist in helping to
pav our debt, in -baring our taxes, and
bearing the on rous burden of our protec
tive tariff, when they, by staying at home,
might enjoy all the unnumbered blessings
of free trade and pauper wagt s? Are these
people all blind, stupid and perverse? Are
our free-traders quit- sure that free-trade
is after all such a great hi- --ing? It it is,
why dou't these people stay where tiny can
enjoy its advantage". Had not our free
traders better go to England and Canada
and preach tin ir favorite theory to tlmst.
Ix imhted peop' and Dilthem of the great
privileges they there enjoy? The po >r fel
low- don't M.-etn to renin • it. and it were
surely a praiseworthy work to open their
datkeucd ryes. After all is it not just bare
ly possible that free-trade is nor quite so
fine a thing in practice as in theory? ll.n.
is it, frec-tiade lriend.-? There is a -crow
loose somewhere. Can't you enlighten us
a little on this very provoking state of af
fair.-?
i lIX .Pitt-burgh (i'K'lt- has been making
a fierce attack upon the l mtun-rcutl because
of its exposure and condemnation of various
schemes of corrupt Ie inflation at Harr it-burg
last winter. We are extremely sorry to
find the Gazclte. which we have always
do- mod a high-toned, independent, Repub-
lican paper, attacking its cotctnporary on
grounds so untenable. Whatever may have
Len the shortcomings of the C<,rein/
in ether respect-, the people certainly en
dorse its course in this matter. That bad,
corrupt men will find their way into office
in any party cannot be denied. It is im
possible to prevent them. But when they
arc discovered and their acts have marked
them untrustworthy, dishonest men, no
honest, independent paper can pursue aDy
other course than to expose, condemn and
endeavor to eject from office at the earliest
possible moment every such unfaithful
pubiic servant. The course of the (W
--ma ci'il in this matter has been that of every
other itidejiendent Republican paper in the
stale. The Republican party can derive
no harm, but much good instead, from
such a course. It professes to aim at
strict integrity and a rigid economy in
the management of public affairs. And the
sincerity of its professions is well attested
bv the very general cond 'Dilution bv it.
press of every incompetent, extravagant or
dishonest official that is found in its ranks.
It is true-that our adversaries, the Copper
heads, attempt to gain public confidence by
ignoring and hidiug ad the ooriupt and dis
honest acts of their leaders, and as a conse
quence they grow bolder every year in
their corrupt and dishonest practicv s. True
Republicanism pursues an eutiiely different
policy. It endeavors to recommend itself
to public confidence by at all times aiming
at the highest integrity. It endeavors to
drive demagogue-, selfish, dishonest and
corrupt men (rout aioong its leaders when
ever they arc discovered, hoping thereby to
maintain at all times the highest attainable
degree of integrity and efficiency in the ad
ministration of public affairs. There is no
feature ol the Republican party more grati
fying to honest men. or that recommends
it moro strongly to the public confidence
than the general unanimity with which ev
ery dishonest, corrupt or extravagant meas
ure is cwpdetoned. We are gratified to be
able to say that while a few venal newspa
per ■ in the bauds of corrupt, weak-kneed
lackeys have upheld every act. good and
bad alike, the great mass of Republican
papers and Republican voters have une
quivocally condemned extravagance, cor
motion and dishonesty whenever and wher
ever (tbNor*ffc<L Ji hi.: constitutes the
strength, and idumts the integrity of the
party, and when it fails thus to doits duty
it will deservedly lose the public confidence
and be deposed from power. Let all stand
up for the sternest integrity and Republi
canism will rule the nation for at least a
generation to come.
HONOR TO OUR PATRIOT DEAD.
Saturday last was generally observed and
consecrated to the solemn service of decora
ting the grave} of the brave uien who sacri
ficed their lives for their country. On that
day the busiest nation on earth .-topped to
pay a sad and grateful tribute to the memo
ry of her fallen heroes. Republics have
been said to be ungrateful, but our Re
public on lest Saturday gave evi
dence of holding in grateful and apprecia
tive remembrance the brave, heroic, men
who poured out their life blood on the altar
'if their country's liberties. The busy whirr
of the spindle was hushed, the clangor of
the anvil was silenced, the plough stood
still in the furrow, too merchant forsook
the busy mart of commerce, and the stu
dent his books, and men of every calling
wended their way to the solemn silent cities
of tbe dead, to crown with wreaths of flow
ers the graves of the martyrs to our com
men liberty'. It was the first anniversary
of a day, now set apart as a day of annual
observance, on the return of wl ich in each
succeeding vear the memory of the nation's
dead shall be renewed by an offering of
eloqeeoee. poetry and flowers. The stal
wart forms of three hundred thousand brave
j men lie mouldering in their mother earth,
and thirty millions of freemen pay their
! tribute of honor,"respect and love in a floral
off ring to the memory of the gallant dead.
To al l sol. tut.ity and pathos to the affect
ing -viie in our own beloved Pennsylvania,
' thirty tin usmd soldiers' orphans, the
; ward- of tbe State, participate in the sweet
i sad rites. Long tuay the nation thus
hold in grateful memory the heroic deeds of
her sons, and the annual return of decoration
day inspire alt her living children with a
higher, psret and nobler patriotism that
may ever preserve the brightness of the
pace upon which is written the names of
i '
. her martyrs.
"S.ddier, re-t ! thy warfare o'er,
Kleep the sleep that kunws not breaking :
Dream uf battled field.- no more,

In onr i-le's enchanted hali,
Hand- unseen thy eou h arc strewing,

IN cry sense in slumber dewing.
Soldier, ri.-t! thy warfare o'er,

Seep tbe sleep that knows not breaking,
Morn of toil, nor nigbt of waking."
PLEDGE THEM TO IT.
Republicans throughout the State are
about making their Senatorial and Legi-la
tivo nominations, and we are glad to see
that many of those whose conduct last win
ter brought odium ou the party are to tie
left at home. Among the important rec
ommendations of Governor Geary to the
Legislature the past two winters has been
that of making some provision for the safe
keeping and proper use of the public funds.
His suggestions have been passed by un
heeded during the last two years. It is
now high time for the party to second the
Govern xr's reoommendatxo' by some deci
sive measures. At pre.-e.i- 'ho Stttc Treas
urer gives bonds in the sum of a hundred
thousand dollars, and has at times three or
four millions of dollars in bis bands. We
are thus liable to have tbe public fund
constantly used for private purposes, with
great ri-k of having defalcations and loss to
the State, s< oner or later. It is a not,,, iuus
fuct that the Treasurers lead out large
sums of the money of the State, and thus
make the office yield an enormous revenue
to them, over and above their salaries. This
is why the office has been so fiercely fought
for at the elections of late years. These
thin a a should not be. The State and not
tbe Treasurer should receive the revenue
from the use of the public funds. Now we
propo-e that no candidate 1-e nominated by
the Republicans, either for the Senate or
House of Representatives, who will not
pledge himself to the passage of a law that
will provide for such a disposition of the
public funds over one hundred thousand
dollars, that shall come into the Treasury,
that the State may reap the benefit thereof.
Let tlicm be appropriated to the payment
of the S'afo debt or to a sinking fund where
the Stat will derive the benefit of its u-ie.
The Republican forty has been doing noble
work in the way of retrenchment and re
form, but much more remains to be done.
No more important matter now demands
their attention than the t>afe and economi
cal disposition of the public funds. There
f.-re we exhort Republicans throughout the
State to pledge their candidates to the pas
sage of such a law. They will receive the
hearty co-operation of Governor Geary and
all good citizens in their work, and remove
one more of the sources of political corrup
tion. Pledge them, every one.
SINCE ihc Inauguration of President
Grant the receipts in the U. S. Treasury
have exceeded those of the corresponding
period of last year over five millions, During
the Slice period the public debt has been
reduced twenty or twenty five millions of
dollars. All this has been done without
any change in the law. The only change
made was that of putting honest and effi
cient Republicans in the places of John
son's pilfering copperheads. What say the
people to this picture. Do they wish a
continuance of Republican rule and econo
my, retrenchment and riform or a return to
Johnson thieving ?
The Pennsylvania Central Railroad is the
first in the country to make a through con
nection from Chicago to Tidewater. On
Thursday the 27th nit., the papers were
signed granting a perpetual lease of the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago road.
The central comes off victor in its contest
with the New York lines for the tontrol of
this road.
THE heavy increase in the Internal Reve
nue receipts since Grant's accession as ex
ecutive is attributable alone to (he increas
ed efficiency of the Depnrttncrt officers.
Nearly all of Johnson's dishonest collectors
have been turned out, and their places filled
with honest and efficient men.
THE Lancaster Exp rest nominates Ex-
Senator Billingfelt as a Candidate for re
nomination. Mr. Billingfelt made an en
viable reputation as an able, and honest
Senator and ccrtaiuly deserves to be return
ed to the State Senate.
FAKE ON TOE PACIFIC RAILROAD.—' The
trip from Philadelphia to San Francisco by
rail can now be made for the nice little sum
of two hundred and seventy dollars and
twenty cents.
SPANISH officers have been arrested in
Madrid for conspiracy to restore Isabella—
a matter which ought rather have been tried
out of Spain. It is the woman who needs

It is estimated that the decrease in the
public debt for May will reach ten or
twelve millions of dollars.
OMAHA objects to being spoken of as in
"the Far West." The Republican of that

travellers gather for the purpose of starting
West.
"NEVER was more promising''—"never

IHE peach growers of Delaware are ex

was gathered in that State. It is expected
that 2,000,000 baskets will go to rnnrket by
the Delaware railway against 1,500,000 bask

Mr. Bcruxoamk, a German paper says, is
au American only by birth. He speaks
French, dresses like a European, and gives
dinner parties and balls like tbe most accom

receives guests with all the grace of a perfect
Parisienne.
The new candidate for the Spanish throne
who has boen biought forward. Prince An.
gustus of Portugal, is a brother of the present
| King ot Portugal, and the youngest son of
1 Dou Fernando, who recently declined the
throne. Prince Augustus is twenty-two
years old. and a marriage between him and a
daughter of the Duke of Montpensier, it is
thought, may satisfy both the partisans of the
latter and those who prefer a Portuguese
I prince.
THE President has settled the eight hour
law question by issuing a proclamation de
claratory of the effect ol the law of Congress
upon wages of Government employees, which
is sinq.ly, that the law makes eight hours a
day's work instead of ten, without effecting
the rate of wages. This declaration of the
effect of the law has been rendered necessary
in order to secure a harmonious construction
by the different Departments. Some were
construing it in one way and some in anoth
er, and ever, different Bureaus in the same
Department construed it differently.
LIVISG OX THE WATER.— It is estimated
that in the river opposite Canton not less
than two hundred and fifty thousand people
live 011 the water. Their inhabitations are a
kind of boats or floating houses, which are
moored in rows like streets. The advantages
of this plan are that there is no expense for
ground; and the boats are built cheaper than
houses and not so exposed to the depredation
of thieves. Each of these boats usually con"
tain three rooms. In the northern part of
the country, where the boats would be injured
by ice, this practice is not very common.
HEAVY DEKALCATIOX. — It is stated that the
accounts of William C. Kushmore, President
of the Atlantic National Bank of Brooklyn,
who was killed by the recent Long Island
Railroad s'aughter, showed a deficit of nearly
$-">0,000. When the rumor became public,
a slight run was made on the bank on Tues
day, by uneasy depositors, but later in the
day, their fears were allayed by the directors,
who pledged themselves to carry on the busi
ness of the bank.
TAKIXG IT COOL. — The Aibany Journal is
responsible for the following: An Irishman
while engaged in digging a well near Lebanon
lac* fcrk. was nearly killed by the caving in
of the sides, after the excavation had reached
a debtb ol about sixteen feet. The earth and
clods formed ati arch over bitn, which fact
was discovered by his comrades who bored
through with an auger, aud after passing bint
a bottle of whisky through the hole the whole
party took a snooze until morning, when the
prisoner was released.
TUB Secretary of the Treasury is engaged
in revising the li.-tot national banks designa
led as Government depositories in the several
States. lie proposes to out them down at
least onp half, as there is now no longer any
necessity for the number of them at present
in existence. He will place one in each Con
gressional district, except where the districts
happen to be in cities or bordering upon cit
ies. Each city is to have two banks designa
ted as Government depositories. In the
large cities, like Boston, New York and Phil
adelphia, this is to be additional to the Sub-
Treasury of the United States.
PRESIDENT GRANT ASP PROTECTION*. —The
statement recently set afloat that the Presi
dent is not in favor of a tariff protection to
American industry is, without the least foun
dation in fact. General Grant is thoroughly
an American and there is not a free trader in
his Cabinet. Secretary Boutwell was always
one of the strongest protectionists in the New
England delegation, and Secretary Fish now
openly declares that the check to our present
extravagant importations by high tariff, is the
only means by which the country can be
saved from a financial crash that will surely
follow, if the balance of trade is kept running
against us.
A BILL contracted by Secretary Seward io
telegraphing over the cable to Iteverdy John
son has been presented to Secretary Fish by
the agent of the Telegraph Company for pay
ment. It consists of a single item and
amounts to $40,000. Mr. Se"*ard, it seems,
was allowed cheap rates on his messages, and
so became rather verbose. When this bill
came in he refused to pay it. It therefore fell
to the succeeding Administration; Secretary
Fish declined to pay it, and when it was pre
sented to President Grant he sent it to Attoi
ney General Hoar for an opinion, which he is
now engaged on.
THB BASIS or REIXIOS. —It is understood
the Conference Committee of the two Presby
terian Assemblies has unanimously agreed to
recommend reunion on the basis of the stand
ards, pare and simple, the basis to be submit
ted immediately to the Presbyteries for ap
proval, and that the two Assemblies adjourn
to meet in Pittsburgh in November to receive
reports of the action of Presbyteries thereon.
It is also understood the Committee will sub
mit a form of declaration to be made by each
Assembly, instead of the articles adopted by
the last. Assemblies and rejected by the Old
School Presbyteries, the action of the Assem
blies on this declaration to be final. The re
port will undoubtedly be adopted by both
bodies.
THE leading Consular Agent of the United
States at Cnba arrived at Washington on Sat
urday, and alter filing despatches at the State
Department, giving accounts of the condition
of affairs in Cuba, proceeded to the White
House, aud bad an interview with the Presi
dent. He gives it as his opinion, after care
ful inquiry and observation, that the insur
gents cannot be subdued if they pursue their
present tactics, which is to avoid regular bat
tle, and worry the Spaniards by compelling
them to follow thetn from place to place.
He sayg the Cubans nre still looking to the
United States for aid, though they have been
told again aud again that our Government
cannot interfere.

THE ALABAMA QUESTION.
!■'England eannr.t escape the Penalty
Mrtxnt. Lain! Attempt to T Indicate
Themseleest —Opinions of the Pres.*.
LONDON, Mav 27.—The Mem Laird,
the builders of the Alabama, have published
in the rnorniug papers a curious letter, in
which they attempt to vindicate their own
character in tho affair. They claim that the
construction oft he Alabama at their yards
was free from concealment, and that the
government authorities, the public, and trie
American Minister were acquainted with
the fact that site was built as a vessel of war,
and it was notorious that sh. was intended
for the service of tbo Confederate Govern
ment.
They further claim that tic re was no baste
or secrecy observed in any of their opera
tions, and that had there been anything ille
gal in the building or fitting out of the ves
sel, there, was ample time and opportunity
for the government to seize her. When the
Customs authorities were notified on the
21.st of July that she was ready for sea, and
might leave at any hour she pleased, there
was no attempt made to detain her. although
Paesmore and others had made affidavits
that men had been enlisted to serve on board.
The Messrs. Laird take th • ground that tlic
contract fur building the Alabama was not
at variance either with the laws of England,
or with the opinions of Englishmen, or with
the practice of foreign uaticn-. The Lairds
quote from the written opinions of Mellish,
Kent play and Sir lluch Cairns, delivered
in February. 1863, in support of their
positions, and declare that the Alabama left
Birkenhead unarmed, and that she went to
the Azores, where site received men and
arms, which had been sent to her from other
part- of England.
The Star (radical organ) says tho Messrs.
Laird may be guiltless, but that England
cannot escape the penalty is the verdict of
th*> heat nuthoritiati, and ira foregone con
clusion. The Post (conservative) fays the
vindication of the Messrs. laird is complete.
The law was inadequate to prevent the
transaction. The remedy lav with the Le
gislature. and not with the Executive. The
Stan-lard (conservative) says that the
Messrs. Laird'- vindication condemns the
government. The inadequacy of the law is
an insufficient excuse for a breach of inter
national obligations. England's obligations
were broken for the North as well as the
South. The Americans were equally guilty
of a breach of international obligations in
the ease of the Caroline, and in the case of
the Fenian drillines and organization. The
final reckoning will give a heavy balance to
the debt of the United States.
THE OPINION OF MR. PUNCH. *
"Mr. Goldwin Smith writes from 80-ton
to 31 r. Potter, editor of The lie-hive, to say
that emigration to the United States had
better not be thought of fir the pre-ent,
Mr. Sumner having aroused so bad a feeltng
against England. He thinks there will be
no rupture, but is prepared for a (urn of
affairs which will oblige the English to leave
the States.' Mr. Punch declines to prepare
himself at present for anything of the sort,
and unless the two foremost nations of the
world are mad. he believes the re
publication of the 'Sumner's Tale,' by
one G. Chaucer, would be as likely to
produce war as the Munchausen manifesto
of his friend Charles, with whom, moreover,
he means to have a word shortly. However,
as it is well to avoid the least ml-under -and
ing between friends, Mr. Punch himself has
paid Mr. Sumner's bill. The hand-writing
of the latter being indistinct. Mr. Punch is
not quite sure whether he a-ks for two hun
dred and fifty millions, or billion-, and thn "
fore ha- sent: overtlm 1 iter sum. If there is
a balance, Mr. Sumner can keep it for hiru
self, or lay it out in building a lunatic asylum,
into which, if the quarrel should really
arise, the people of the United States will
do well to insert every public man they
have, from sober Sumner down to drunken
Chandler."
THE BV.TFIC RAILROAD.—The London
Tim-s of the 11 th has the following com
ment :
II we inquire into tbc probable results of
this achievement we shall be led into many
curious speculations. The effects, _ indeed,
will be nk throughout tbc whole Union.
California, as our readers know, is a State
of exceptional character and importance.
It is the gold-bearing State —the country
which supplies the Americans witli the pre
cious metal. General Grant, in his inan
(rural speech, referred to it as the national
"strong box"—the safe in which those
treasures were hoarded which would one
day enable the Union to pay off the public
debt—and he spoke of the opening of this
Pacific railway as an event tending to ac
celerate the consummation in \ iew. Then
it cannot be doubted that the Pacific States
will receive an impulse ftoui the new line
and Le rapidly developed in political a.- well
as commercial impoitance. All the terri
tory, too, now traver. Ed, will he brought
more within the reach and under the do
minion of man, w settlements will be la.-
eilitaP. (1 and new States more quickly form
ed. At the same time the Indian- will be
more severely pushed, and the Mormons
will be brought into a eonlaet with their
fellow citizens which may not impossibly
end in a collision. Probably nothing but
the remoteness and isolation of their settle
ments has hitherto preserved them and their
institutions from interference, and now that
isolation is lost. Iu whatever light, how
ever, we choose to regard the work, we
must recognize it not only as a monument
of national enterprise, but as a proof of
public wisdom. All that the Government
has spent in subventions was well be
stowed. It was worth many a vote of
money and many a grant, of land to connect
by an easy internal communication the two
great sections of the lepublie, an i to bring
territories as large as those of all the settled
States together within reach of the Govern
ment and the people. If the pr. sent year
should also witness the completion of the
Suez Canal it will indeed be a singular
coincidence, but even the cutting of the
Isthmus is ale.-- wonderful exploit than this
Pacific Railroad. M. de Lesscps will de
serve infinite credit for his perseverance aad
success, but the American engineers who
bridged with ircn rails a desert as broad as
the Atlantic at the rate of six miles a day
may certainly advance their own claims to
the surprise and admiration of mankind.
THE WHIRLIGIG OF TIME.—AS a stri
king specimen's of ' 'lime's revenges" we
have lately had presented to us the colored
men s appointments to office, at home and
abroad. "Think, writes one correspon
dent antithetically, "of Tombs, instead of
calling hi- slave-roll on Bunker Hill, only
calling for his letters from the colored post
master at Macon." Think again of the son
of ihe black Douglass holding a Government
offiee in the same city with the son of the
white Douglas, and both supporting the
administration. But there is another con
trust still more remarkable in Charleston,
where, at this moment, the new Mayor is
said to be a brother of Parker Pillshury, the
anti-slavery agitator cotemporsneous with
tiarri.'OD. Were this relationship all, under
the changed aspect of affairs, doubt less, this
historic comparison would not be more
"odorous" than the others. Rut, according
to some of the Southern papers, since Pili
bury's inauguration the chief municipal ac
tivity has been in a scramble for spoils. ()ne
of Pillsbury's friends used to talk of "plow
ing up Charleston and sowing it with salt"
—but isn't this last a worse infliction ?
THE REVENUE. —There has been much
grumbling over General Grant's appoint
ments, and some of them may have pro
voked it; but. the fact is not disputed that
the current revenue .since they were made
shows a large increase over thecorresponding
weeks of last year. Now the taxes have not
been increased; our political adversaries say
that the country is not prosperous; and it
will puzzle any one to account for the in
creased receipts into the Treasury on any
other hypothesis than that of increased
efficiency in the collection. We believe the
income of the Government since Gen.
Grant's inauguration has exceeded that of
the corresponding period of last year by
fully Five Millions ol Dollars; and that our
National Debt has been reduced, over and
above any reduction expected in the spring
months of 18tS, by fully Ten Millions. We
submit these facts as a full justification of
the changes made by Gen. Grant.— X. V.

IT is said that the Kinperor Alexander of

New YORK, May 28. —A terrible kero

across the table for a plate, the boy over
turned the lamp, which broke, the oil ex
ploding instantly, the blazing fluid scatter
ing itself over the persons of all three and
setting fire to their clothing, burning them
terribly. Their screams attracted the at

'['HE TRQUBLKB IN THE Surra.-—The
Washington correspondent of the Ledger
states that the Prcident has distinctly as
serted his determination to out an end to
all assassinations and other disturbances in
South Carolina and Florida in the future,
if possible. With that end in view he has
instructed General Terry, who has been as
signed to that department, and will take
command on June Ist, to reader efficient
and cheerful aid in the suppression of all
disturbances, and the protection of citizens
in their persons and property. General
Terry is regarded at the \\ hire House as a
ti-ii disciplinarian, a <ood lawyer, and alto
gether competent to deal with the difficul
ties he must necessarily encounter in his
new position.
LOVE ANI> PIC NICK.—The Saturday
Renew likes pic-uics. It say-: 'There is
more spooning done at pic-nics than any
where else; and more offers are uuuje there,
under the shadow of the old ruin, or in the
quiet leafy nook, by the river side, than at
any other gathering time of tit- country.
And as we arc all to a certain extent what
we are made, the pleasures being the only
ones known to them, the doves take to them
quite kindly and gratefully, and enjoy
themselves in a simplicity of circumstances
which would give no pleasure at all to girls
accustomed to more highly-spiced entertain
ments."
MINISTER BIULINQAME rebuked the
foreign* rs whit thought they "outranked"
him in Paris, in tho following style: "We
Americans do not raise the question of rank.
We receive ail gentlemen us occupying a
common level. But if you raise the ques
tion of position, we outrank you. You are
nothing but Dukes. Marquises ami Counts.
We belong to the royal family. We are the
equal of our President. Wo are all heir
apparent# to the throne. We stand up for
our order, and if need be, we figbt for our
order."
BONN PIATT, in connection with Mr. L.

"with reasonable earnestness," the princi

a go d paper, which he is abundantly able
to do.

FOII PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cores many of which are truly
marvelous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease,
whore the system seemed saturated with corrup
tion, have been purified and cure Iby it. Scrofu
lous affections and disorders, which were aggra
vated by the scrofulous contamination until they
j were painfully 'filicting, have been radically cur
! cd in such great numbers in almost every section
I <>f the country, that the public scarcely need to be
informed of its virtues or uses.
I Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our rare. Often, th : s unseen and un
felt tenant of the orgauism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling or
fatal diseases, without exhibiting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develops into oue or other of its
hideous forms, cither on the surface or among
the vitals. In the latter, tuborcles may be sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors
tonne J in the liver, or it shows it* presence by
eruptions on the skin, or feul ulcerations on some
{►art of the body. Hence the occasional use of a
| bottle cf this SartaparrilUi is advisable, even
when no active symptoms of disease appear.
Persons afflicted with the following complaints
generally find immediate relief, and, at length,
cure, by the use f this SAIiSAPAJtTLLA; At.
Li thony'* Fir*. Br c or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt
Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eye?, Sore
Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of
Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed
forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits,
Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various ITcerons af
fections of the mu-cul*r and nervous systems.
Those painful diseases, Rheumatism and Gout,
when caused by accumulations of extraneous mat
ters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflaination
of the Liver, and .laundice, when arising, as tbey
often do, from the ranking poisons in the blood.
; This Sarsaparilla is a great restorer for the
| strength and vigor of the system. Those who
:ire Languid and Listless, Despondent, {Sleepless,
and Troubled with Nervous apprehensions or
Fears, or any of the affections fvmptouiatic of
Weakness, will find immediate relief and convin
cing evidence of its restorative power upon trial.
