THE NEW TARIFF DILL.
The new tariff bill reported by the Com
mittee of Ways and Mean? has been under
discussion iu the house for several weeks
and is not yet half completed. Its pro
visioas if they eould be passed as origi
nally reported would doubtless be an im
provement on the present tariff: but a des- 1
peratc fight has been made against it by the
free-traders ami particularly in the duties
oa iron the discussion and voting upon item
by item has resulted in such a reduction as
would paralyse our whole iron trade if it
were to become a law. Under these circura
stances the friends of protection have no
other recourse than to endeavor to defeat
the whole bill and let the present rates re
main. If the discussion continues and drags
as slowly as it has heretofore done, Congress
will be able to do little else before July. |
This prospec. has ioduced a disposition in i
both parties to abandon the bill. The free ]
traders have introduced a brief bill pro- j
posing to make a sweeping and indiscrim- j
inate reduction of all taxes both import |
and excise except whiskey and tobacco, j
This hill they will try to force through j
unless they can succeed in making a ]
sweeping reduction in the bill under dis
cussion. The Free traders are making j
desperate efforts to carry their measles
and have an extensive lobby influence j
awl plenty of funds tcv carry on their
work. The friends of protection have not
hat} the support that they should receive
from the parties interested. While the
free traders have large delegations in 1\ ash
inetoo urging their measures, the tariff
men who are vitally interested, have no
delegation, funds, or influence there to as
sist their members of Congress, witb infor
mation, statistics, Ac. Thus far the inter
ests of American labor have been sadly
neglected. We hope however to see an in
creased interest and a vigorous effort made
when the final vote comes- The tariff men
cannot afford to neglect this matter. It is
of the highest importance to the manufactur
ing and general industrial interests of the
whole country. No effort should be spared
to uphold our national industry through
protective duties. If we wish American
laborers to live and prosper, we must protect
them against the competition of foreign
pauper labor. This can be much more
easily done now while he have a fair degree
of protection, than after foreign influence
shall have reduced our tariff and broken
down our manufactures.
THE POOR HOI SE.
We had hoped to be able to lay before
our readers this week, some communications
on the Poor House question; but our
friends, as yet. have not responded to our
invitation. We hope still to be favored
with some for our next issue. We are in-
Formed that the subject is eliciting a good
deal of discussion in various parts of the
County. The chief burthen of complaint
seems to be the great expense annually nec
essary to keep our poor. We have been
calling their attention to it for a long time.
It will only be remedied by putting a good
Republican or two in the board of Direc
tors. That election will come in October.
The question now is the location of the new
Poor House, and not the management of
the finance?, and it will be well to keep the
two distinct and separate, for they are wide
ly different questions. To argue that the
present property should be sold because
there has been bad management is about
the same as if we were to urge the removal of
the court house because there has been a
large a' ,unt of criminal business and that
it has been a heavy expense to the County.
There is only one point in which the present
property can be any more expensive than any
other property that may be purchased, and
that is. the expense of keeping the mill
in repair. But if this is an objection, the
mill can be sold for a good price, and plenty
of purchasers for it can be found who will
regard it as a very desirable property. In
fact we have advocated this for many years.
The property can be divided so as to sell off
the mill and have plenty left for all the
purposes of an alms house. We believe
that a provision in the present bill to per
mit a vote for the division of the property
and the sale of the mill would have met
with decided favor, and have, perhaps, re
ceived a majority of votes. A large farm is
not needed, for the paupers cannot do the
work of a farm, and but few men
COnW be fuuuvl to to.lt© a farm an<l world
it to advantage with hired labor,
For such as are competent to do that
prefer to farm their own land and reap all
the profits. We believe that a small farm
of from 60 to 80 acres, sufficient to pro
vide pasturage and feed for a team, and n
few head of cattle will be found the most
economical. This we have in the present
property after cutting off the mill, beside
having a large range for sheep pasturage
which is perhaps the most profitable stock
kept on the present farm, as the flock of
sheep has for years furnished a large part of
the clothing for the paupers. But we have
already written more than we intended;
we hope to hear from some of our friends
next week, bend along your communica
tions with the names, and we will gladly
publish them on whichever side they may
happen tobe.
CURIOSITIES OK FINANCE.— It is not &
little singular that while we, of the United
States, are anxious to see the glitter and
hear the jingle of gold and silver, our neigh
bors, the ( anadians, tired of the sight and
sound of U. S. coin, are just now Issuing
fractional currency rimilar to our own,
hoping with it to drive American coin out
t|f their borders. \\ c are anxious to be rid
of paper, they of coin. We can only ac
count for it on the principal that grown peo
ple like children are apt to want, and set a
high value on what they have Bot got, and
what they have, however good, they hold
in very little esteem. We are quite sure
that both extremes are bad. A little more
gokl and silver here and a little more paper
currency in Canada would improve matters
in both places. An exclusive gold or paper
currency is objectionable. A fair propor
tion of each best answers the purposes of
business.
SHAMEFUL NEG LET— When the vote was
taken in the House on Tuesday on reducing
'.ic duty on bar iron from If cents per pound
to 1 cent, there were (says the Miners'
•Journal) only twelve members from Penn
sylvania present, and all the Democratic
members from this State were absent.
W hilc Western members, a large portion of
the New England delegation, with the Dem
ocrats, were striking deadly blows at the in
terests of Pennsylvania, many of her mem
bers were absent. There may be reasons
for the xeasional absence of members, but
it should be a strong one that induces a mem
ber to absent himself when the industrial
interests of his State are assailed. The peo
ple will have an account to settle with the
indifferent members at the next Congres
sional elections.— [hirrisbttry Telegraph.
VIRGINIA RAILROADS AND VIRGIN
IA PROSPECTS
The coal leld on the of the
Allegbenief, extending from the Mononga
hela to the Big Sandy river?, is by far the
largest, the richest, and is defined to be
coom the most valuable in the world. Io
Europe, Dearly all the coal deposits lie far
beneath the general surface, and far below
water level. Peep shafts are sunk at im
mense oost, to reach them; the mines are
then ventilated and drained as they are be
ing worked, only after the most astonishing
outlays. OH the Kanawha and collateral 1
i valleys, the coal crops out of the hill sides
in veins from 5 to 12 feet thick, far above
water level, and can be dumped into the car?
by the lorce of gravity, for merely nominal
cost, and carried thence to wherever it is
needed. A few miles eastward of this im
mense store of coal, on the eastern slope of
the Ailegaaies, arc found inexhaustible de
posits of iron ores of the best qualities. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, now in
course of construction from the navigable
waters of the James River, to the river nav
igation of the Mississippi Vailcy, the grea
ter part of which is already in operation,
crosses both the iron Gelds and the coal fields
and unites tbern to the seaboard on the one
hand and the Great West on the other.
Nearly 7,000 men are employed upon this
great work, and it will not be many montl s
before the care will travel continuously from
Memphis, Saint Louis or Chicago, to and
from these great iron and coal deposits, ami
if need be, on to the navigation of the At
lantic at Richmond.
These natural advantages, together with
| the encouraging rush of immigration now
finding its way to Y bint a and West Virgin
ia, will give to those States a vast wealth and
industry. The completion of the Chese
peake and Ohio Railroad itself will set free
a wonderful amount of latent power, and is
to rank as one of the most important works
of improvement now in progress.
The Loan of the Chesepeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, which is annouoced else
where in our columns, by the well known
Backing firm. Fisk A Hatch, of New York,
it will be seen is being steadily absorbed fo r
investments. These Bonds have several
features of convenience and security not
hitherto found combined. To all persons
contemplating investments of capital, or the
exchange of securities, their remarks will be
of special interest.
THE CENSI'S.
The census for 1870 will be taken in
JUDC. The work will be greatly facilitated
and much annoyance to the people will be
.saved if our citizens carefully study the fob
lowing scheme and have their reports made
out in advance. If this is done, when the
deputy Marshal calls, much time will be
saved and far greater accuracy obtained in
the returns. The second action is omitted.

ONE OF ITS RESULTS. —Before the tariff on
imported steel was made protective there
1 were no steel works in the United States
and we paid from S3OO to $350 per ton to
foreigners for a good quality of steel. A
high protective duty on steel has built up
the manufacture in Pennsylvania until we
can now supply the market, and the result
is that to-day we can buy the same quality
of steel for from $l5O to S2OO per tOD, or a
little more that half what we had to pay
when we were dependent on a foreign sup
ply. In the same way we were obliged to
pay foreign manufacturers $175 per ton for
steel rails for our railroads. A heavy duty
was laid on the foreign article, our own peo
ple erected rolling mills for the manufacture
of steel rails, and to-day we can buy them
for $75 per ton. According to copperhead
free-trade preaching steel and steel rails
should have increased in price by reason of
the heavy duty, but the result is just the
reverse; they have fallen in price instead.
The reason is plain, we can make our OWD,
and the foreign manufacturer is obliged to
sell to us at reasonable rates or we will not
buy. Our own manufacturers by busines*
competition are compelled though protected
to sell at reasonable rates. Let farmers re
member that their reapers and mowers,
their scythes, axes and every implement
into which steel enters is cheaper to-day
because protection to American industry
has reduced the cost of steel. The same
rule holds good in regard to almost every
manufacture. The farmer not only gets his
goods cheaper, but the presence of manu
factures gives him a better market for all
the produce of his farm—all the result of
protection. Let him remember this when
Ilemoeratic politicians preach to him the
fallacious sophistries of free-trade. Practi
cal experience always has and always will
condemn free trade, while it commends and
proves the benefit of protection.
A SAD CASE. —Hoffman, of the Somerset
Democrat, is in sore trouble. Alarmed at
the prospct cf negro voting, he now declares
that the "radical" programme will not be
finished until the negro oceupies the same
table and same bed with white folks. Now
social equality is a matter of taste and if
brother Hoffman is determined to have
things so, there is no law to prevent him,
but then he ought not to try to make h's
neighbors believe that they must do so to.

for Governor by the Sunday Dirpatch. J
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES.
The Beaver Radical announces the fol
lowing named gentleman a? candidates for
Governor at the next Republican Domina
ting convention, and gives a brief description
of their individual claims for that high
position. We will otait the comment#, how
ever, and simply furnish the list of names:
Gen. John F. Hurtranft, of Montgomery
county, at present Auditor General.
Col. L. H. Cake, of Schuylkill, member
of Congress.
Hon. G. Dawson Coleman, of Lebanon,
late State Senator.
Gon. Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland hold
ing no official position.
James H. Campbell, Esq., of Philadel
phia, late Minister to Sweden.
Wayne M'Yeigfc, Esq., attorney-al-law,
of Chester, and son-in-law to Senator
Cameron.
Hon. John Cessna, of Bedford, member
of Congress,
Thos. E. Cochran, Esq., of York, for
merly Auditor General'
Col. Francis Jordan, of Dauphin, at
present Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Col. J. M. Campbell, of Cambria, now
Surveyor General.
D. J. Morrill, Esq., of Cambria.
The Radical, in this enumeration, has
omitted the names of two of the most
prominent candidates who have yet been
presented to the public, viz:
Gen. Harry White, State Senator, of In
diana, and
W. W. Ketchum, Esq., of Luzerne, who,
next to GSheral Geary, was the most popu
lar candidate in 1866.
In addition to these the following names
have been mentioned, and advocated by
their friends. There are doubtless many
more which have not been heard:
General Horace Porter, Private Secretary
to President Grant, and formerly of Penn
sylvania.
Hon. James L. Graham. State Senator,
of Allegheny.
Hon. George V. Lawrence, formerly
member of Congress, of Allegheny, Indiana
county.
Hon. Elisha W. Davis, member of Legis
lature, of Philadelphia.
Hon. E. Billingfelt, State Senator, of
Lancaster county.
HOD. Wilmer Worthington, Secretary of
Board of State Charities, Chester county,
and at least a dozen others whose names
have escaped our memory.
To this voluminous list many others will
yet be added, and perhaps, the successful
man has cot yet been designated. We de
cline, for the present, descanting upon the
merits of these aspirants. There is, in al'
conscience, a sufficient variety to suit all
judgments and tastes. Probably either of
the candidates might make an excellent
Chief Magistrate. At all events there is a
sufficient number from which to make a
choice. — Daily Topic.
IRON ORE. — A telegraph dispatch from
Bedford contains the following notice of a
visit to that place, recently, by Gen. Geo. B.
McClellan, and a number of leading iron
manufacturers:
BEDFORD, April 20. —Gen. Geo. B. Mc-
Clellan and a number of leading iron manu
facturers, arrived at. this place yester
day for the purpose of examining the re
cent discoveries of vast iron deposits in this
vicinity. The location of extensive iron
manufactories is in contemplation. The
General and his party will spend several
days in the county.
If the General and his party of explorers
were to visit York on a similar errand, they
would find, not only "vast iron deposits"
here, but some that arc decidedly vaster.
Immense and inexhaustable beds of iron and
steel ore abound in our immediate vicinity,
and new and important discoveries are be
ing made almost every day. The facilities
for the manufacture of steel rails and pig
iron are equal if not better in York County
than any other part of the Stale; and we
look forward to the day when furnaces will
smoke, and rolling mills clatter in every di
rection within a stones throw of the bor
ough. We venture this opinion in the face
of Dick Haldeman's recent rhodamontade in
CongTess against a high protective tariff, for
the iron interests of PenDsplvania.— Yorlc
True Democrat.
We are glad to hear of the discovery of
mineral wealth in any part of our State or
county, but beg leave to differ from our
friend of the Democrat in regard to the
"vaster." We yield the palm to no coun
ty in the State for vast deposits of valuable
iron ores, and as for facilities for cheap
manufacture, we have the authority of one
of the largest iron manufacturing corpora
tions in the State, who have proven the
assertion by actual experiment, that we can
manufacture iron here cheaper than any
where else in the United States, yet discov
ered. But in one thing we are with our
York neighbors. We have in our own
county, just as they have, a copperhead ma
jority, in politics, whose influence and votes
are cast for free trade and British interests
and against the profitable development of
our vast mineral resources. For the con
version of these blind followers of blind
leaders, and the opening of their eyes to
their own best interests, we propose to labor
in common with all the true friends of
American industry.
W HISKEY is at last beginning to pay its
just share cf taxes. It is reported from
\\ ashington that the evasions and decep
tions practiced by the manufacturers of dis
tilled liquors are almost entirely abandoned
now. The vigorous ferreting out of these
tricksters by Grant s Revenue officers has
at last brought them to terms, and they find
it cheaper to pay their taxes honestly. The
result is, that more revenue is pouring into
the vaults of the Treasury than ever before
from this source. So much for efficient Rev
enue officers. We now will be able to re
duce the taxes on some productive industry.
FRANCE is agitated over the plibescitum,
election, to be held to morrow. The osten
sible object of the election is to give the peo
ple the privilege to decide upon their gov
ernment, but they are in reality only to be
permitted to say whether or not they ap
prove the reforms made by the Emperor
since 1860, and even in this the Emperor's
bayonets will take care that the people do
not say no. Many of the liberals will not
vote at all, because what tbey wish is so
intermingled with what they oppose that
they can give no expression of their true
sentiments by their votes.
A STEADY improvement continues in our
Internal Kevenue Department.. The
amount collected during the nine months
ending March 31st, was $194,000,060 or
$20,500,000 more than during the corres
ponding nine months of the previous year.
This has been done without any increase of
taxation, under a steady decline in prices
and a general dullness of trade consequent
thereon, and affords the best evidence that
under General Grant's administration the
taxes are collected with increased, thorough
ness, efficiency, honesty and economy.
THE Senate Finance Committee has re
ported unanimously against any reduction
of the tax on distilled spirits. Whiskey
will not, therefore, be much cheaper during
the next year. There will doubtless be
great complaining among the Democracy
about this continued tax on their "hfrf in
dustry.
DEATH OF AN OLD EDITOR.
We regret to announce the death at Get
tysburg, on Monday last, of Robert Good
loe Harper, cms of the editor* of the Stir
and Sentinel. He was in the 72d year of
his age and was, we believe, the oldest edi
tor in the State, having edited the Adtms
Sentinel from 1817 to the time of its consol
idation with the St<rr and continued in the
same line in the Star and Sen tin A since
then, in all a period of fifty-three years.—

OKLAHOMA is the euphonious nsmc pro
posed for a new territory about to be erect
ed. It is intended to consolidate all, or as
many as possible, of the Indian tribes and
try the experiment of giving them a ter
ritorial government of their own. The
name certainly smacks very strongly of In
dian. The experiment of a territorial
government Las been suggested and peti
tioned for by the Choctaws. It may, and
we hope will, prove a success and finally
solve the perplexing Indian question.
J. RISSELI. YOCNG'B new paper, the
New York Standard, made its first appear
ance on last Saturday. It was sought for
with great eagerness and in- Philadelphia
every number that could be obtained was
quickly sold. The Eccning Star says :
"Its editorial tone is higher, its typo
graphy is marked by a better and severer
taste, and tbcre is a genera! aspect of ele
gance that we fail to note in any other
American journal."
SPAIN is still in trouble and without an es
tablished government. Her treasury is
empty and her leaders are still fighting over
the formation of a government. Serrano,
one of their best men eeems inclined to re
tire from public life in disgust. Prim is

erally seem to be tending to anarchy.
XLIST CON TILL ESS-SECOND SESSION.
During the past week, nearly all ot the
time in the House has been occupi d in the
discussion of the new Tariff bill. The dis
cussion thus far has been principally on the
sections fixing the duties on iron and its
manufactures. The duties fixed by the
Committee of Ways and Means have been
largely reduced, and the action thus far
taken has been decidedly to the advantage
of the free-traders. If the bill passes in the
present shape, it will almost entirely de
troy the iron interests of the country. Our
only hope for Pennsylvania interests is that
the whole bill will be defeated and the old
rates of the present tariff remain. In the
Senate, a great number of bills, petitions
and resolutions are constantly brought up,
but they are tabled, or handed over to com
mittees to make room for something else,
after which they can't be traced any further
for some time.
The following bills were introduced in the
Senate:
By Mr. Wilson —Providing for the selec
tion of cadets to the Military and Naval
Academies.

ment; also to allow school trustees in Ar
kansas to enteT lands for school purposes
undo.- the homestead law.
By Mr. Morrill, of Maine —Relating to
the Indian reservations selected by the
Peace Commissioners.
By Mr. Ross—to authorize the settle
ment of the claims of Kansas for the ser
vices of troops under the requisition of Gen.
Price.
Mr. Ames introduced a bill granting lands
in aid of the Memphis and New Orleatt3
Levee Railroad Com pany.
Mr. Thayer introduced a bill to make uni
form the pensions of widows of naval stall
officers.
Mr. Fenton called up the bill authorizing
the appointment of an agent to inquire rela
tive to the state of trade between the Uni
ted States and British North America,
which, after some discussion, was referred
to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. Williams gave notice that he would
offer a bill relating to the refining of gold
and silver bullion at the mint of the United
States and branches, as an amendment to
the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Ap
propriation bill, on the ground that it tend
ed to reduce the expenses of the Govern
ment in the coinage of money. Upon his
motion the bill was taken from the calendar
and referred to the Committee on Appro
priations.
A bill to provide for better security on
board steam vessels and propellers, being
that prepared by the Treasury Department,
parsed.
The House joint resolution appropriating
$3,0X1 to pay the expenses of the investiga
tion of the charges against General Howard,
passed.
A joint resolution, to regulate the effect
of the vote of thanks of Congress upon pro
motions in the navy, passed.
The hill relative to the Circuit Courts of
the L uited States prohibiting any construc
tion or tHe act tnat woulj require ibc hold

cluding the following: Authorizing a sup
ply of arms for instruction and practice to i
certain colleges and universities; for a return
of the evidence of their honorable discharge
to soldiers.
The House joint resolution appropriating
$3,000 to pay for experiments in the ventilai

And in the House, Mr. Logan, from the
Military Committee, reported adversely on
the bill permitting retiied army and naval
officers to hold civil offices.
The bill donating condemned canon to
the McPherson Monument Association
passed.
Various other private bills passed.
The House refused by a vote of 42 to 88
to take up the Louisiana contested case of
Darrell against Bailey, and proceeded to the
business on the Speaker's table, and dis
posed ola large number of unimportant
bills.
The Senate bill legalizing certain locjpions
of agricultural scrip iu Wisconsin passed.
The Senate bill granting lands to aid the
construction of a railroad and telegraph from
Portland to Astoria and McMinnvilie, Ore
gon, excited a long debate.
Mr. Stevenson, from the Committee on
Elections, reported that Adolph Baily is
not, and C. B. Darrall is, entitled to the
seat from the Third District of Louisiana.
Mr. Kerr made the minority report with
the opposite conclusions.
The bill to establish a Department of Jus
tice was considered and passed.
The joint resolution appropriating $2,000
for a portrait of General Thomas, to bo
placed in a conspicious position in the Capi
tol, passed unanimously,
A joint resolution appropriating $3,000
for experiments in the ventilation of the hall
of the House, was adopted.
The Senate bill to change the time of
holding United States Courts in Wisconsin,
was amended and passed.
The contested election case from the Fifth
Louisiana District was considered and the
majority report that the election held No
vember 3, 1868, was illegal, was adopted.
FROM CUBA.
TJte Jiitvrrectum—A Counter-Revolution
Imminent.
WASHINGTON, April 28.— Important offi
cial information has been received here from
Cuba For some time it has been known to
the authorities that the volunteers in Cuba
were in reality the party in power, and have
forced the Spanish authorities to comply
with nearly all their demands. Intelligence
now comes from Havanah that a con tor-re
volution is sure to break out within a brief
period of time, the volunteers being deter
mined to wrest the island away from Spain,
and make it an independent province. It
has been thought hare, in diplomatic circles,
For three months, that a counter-revolution
was sure to take place, and the news re
ceived to-day is but a conformation of auch a
belief.
APPALLING CATASTHOPUE AT
RICHMOND.
Fifty-Eight Perrons Killed.—Two Hundred
More or Less Injured.— Twenty Legisla
tors Killed or Wounded. — A Whole City
in Mourning.
RICHMOND. April 27.—-A terrible calamity
oocurred here this morning. The floor of
the Court of appeals, in the State Capital,
gave way and precipitated the hundreds
therein assembled to bear the decision of
the Mayorality case of Kltisou and Cahoon,
upon the Conservative caucus then sitting
in the Hall of the House of Delegates be
low.
Among the killed are P. H. Aylett, a dis
tinguished lawyer; Dr. J. B. Brock, repor
ter for the Enquirer and Examiner; Samuel
Eaton, clerk of Mayor Cahoon; Captain
William A. Charters. Chief of the Fire De
partment; N. P. Howard, a lawyer; Ash
Levy, a Richmond merchant; Charles Wat
son, of the Danville railroad; Hugh Hutche
soo, Lewis N. Webb, of this city; Wheelor
Schofield, brother of General Scofield; R.
H. Maury, Jr.; Senator Bland (colored) and
Powhattan Roberts.
It is supposed that twenty members of
tke State Jjegislature arc killed or wounded.
TV Judges of the Couit of Appeals all es
cated unhurt. Ex Governor Wells was
bafiy injured. I 11. Chandler, counsel for
Cahoon in the Mayoralty case, was injured.
James Mason and .fudge Meredith, counsel
for Ellison, were also badly hurt.
About two hundred persons were hurt by
the accident. The greatest excitement pre
vails, and hundreds of persons in the Capitol
Square are weeping and wailing a3 the dead
and dying are brought out of the building.
Governor Walker escaped unhurt, though
on the floor of the Court room at the time.
About eleven o'clock the Supreme Court
of Appeals of Virginia was crowded with
eminent citizens and many local politicians,
and a great many of the public at large, who
WERE drawn there by cariosity to hear the
result of the late bearing of the question as
to the Mayoralty ol Richmond.
The friends of Me.-; rs. Ellison and Ca
boon, who comprised the prominent Repub
licans and Conservatives of the city, had as
sembled to hear the decision, which it was
expected would be given to-day. Among

SARSAPARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures, many of which arc truly
m&rreltocs. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous dis
case, where the system seemed saturated with cor
ruption, have been purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until
they were painfully afflicting.have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need
to be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one ol the most destruc
tive enemies of our raoe. Often, this unseen and
unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con
stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling cr
fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
through the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develop into one or other of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among the
vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly
deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed
in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions
on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of
the body. Hence the occasional use of u bottle
of this SARSAPARILLA is advisable, even when
no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons
afflicted with the following complaints generally
find immediate relief, and, at length, c ue, ky the
use of this SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthony's
Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tetter, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears,
and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous
disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as
Ih/speptia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fife. Epilepsy,
Aeuralgia, and the various Uleeroue affections of
the muscular and nervous systems.
Syphilid or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases
are cured by it, though a long time is required
for subduing these obstinate maladies by any med
icine- But long continued use of this medicine
will cure the complaint. Leucorrhcca or WLitcs,
Cterini Ulceratione, and Female Diseases, are
commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Di
rections for each case are found in onr Almanac,
supplied gratis. Rheumatiem and Gout, when
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
in the blood, yield quickly to It, as also Licet
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflamma
tion of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising as
they often do, from the rankling poisons in the
blood. This SARSAPARILLA is agreat resto
rer for the strength and vigor ot the system.
Those who are Languid and Listless, Despondent,
Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous Apprehen*
sions or Fears, or any of the elections symptom
atic of Weakness, will find immediate relief and
convincing evidence of its restorative power upon
trial.

FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE 11A1R.
THE GEE A T DBSIDERA TIM OF THE AGE
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
ami effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or
gray hair it soon restored to its original color and
the gloee and freshness of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falling hair cheeked, and baldness
often, though not always, cured by its use.
Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles
are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decay
ed. But such as remain can be saved (or useful
ness by this application. Instead of fuuling the
hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean
and rigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the
hair from turning gray or falling off, and conse
quently prevent baldness. Free from those dele
terious substances which make some preparations
dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor
can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
lIAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil whito
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
