Curious Custom.
Au English gentleman, who has lately
traveled in Palestine, recently gave a
description of the curious scenes enacted
in the church of the Holy Sepulchre. He
said that when you first entered the church,
you would he surprised to See a party of
soldiers, with their swords by their sides,
and their guns stacked within reach. It
seemed a sacrilege in such a holy place,
and struck one rather unpleasantly. But
he soon found out the necessity for it.
According to the law of the country, every
sect is allowed to worship there; and as it
is considered equally .sacred both by
Christians and Mahomedans, all wish a
time for their mode of worship. The law
allows them an hour each. They com
mence at six in the morning. At that
hour, those who have the first. privilege
enter, bringing with them whatever is ne
cessary to conduct their particular religi
ous rights. They go through their prayers
and chants, and all is quiet till about a
quarter to seven, when those who have
the privilege - of the next hour begin to
arrive. At first all is decorum; but pres
ently the new comers begin to hiss and
mock. As their number increase, and
they become stronger, they shove and
crowd; and as the time lessens, they get
more and more bold. A few minutes be
fore seven, they proceed to forcible dem
onstration.- -They-think, if they can clear
out these blasphemers a few minutes be
fore the time, they have done so much
good work for God; while the worshippers,
on the other hand, think, if they can keep
possession a few minutes after the time,
they have done an equally good work. As
some of these sects use torches, wax
candles, staves or crook, in their worship,
they proceed to use these as weapons of
offence and defence, and a regular melee
ensues.. Then come in the soldiers, who
separate the combatants, by filing in be
tween them, turning out those whose hour
is up, and leaving the place in possession
of the last corners.. If blood is shed the
church is closed for' the day. Such
.scenes are occurring all day long, and
the presence of soldiers in therefore abso
lutely necessary.

, The, Chicago papers tell the following
:•7Story: The citizens, members of the Leg
- islature and 'others, had a rich. time at
Bla:dison, Wisconsin, on Friday night, An
innocent_Chicagoan,_ named„,..Swanburg,
advertised in the Chicago Tribune for a
wife. He - was answered by a young
* fellow of_ Madison, under the.naine of a
young lady, who stated that she was ready
to receive his proposals, and inviting him
to visit her.
He went, met the supposed young lady,
*and immediately proposed to elope with
her. He was immediately' arrested by a
bogus officer for attempting abduction,and
tried by'a bogus court_in the court house.
The whole _ proceedings were carried on
with great gravity, and the victim had not
the remotest idea but that the whole thing
was a sad - reality. After standing the
ordeal of a two hours' trial, he was finally
released on condition that he would leave
town immediately. This he did on a
train leaving for Milwaukee just in the
nick of time.
ROUND THE WORLD--Telegraphic
communications can now be had between
Europe and America, and the capital of
China in twelve days. On the 16th ult.,
the Pacific Mail Company of New York,
received a telegram from Hong Kong, by
way of England and the Red Sea,unnounc
ing the arrival at Hong Kong of their
ship Colorado, on the 30th of January.
Thirty years ago, it required six months
to get such news. For some years the
merchant has received such information in
three months, by the overland mail. But
now the overland mail is too slow by a
considerable.

HAIR PREPARATION'S.
REPARATOR CAPILLI,
Throw away your false frizzes, your switches your

Deatructive of comfort, and not worth n fig
Come aged, come youthful, come ugly and fair,
And rejoice in your own luxuriant hair.
For restoring hair Upon bald heads (from what
ever cause it may have fallen out) and forcing a
growth of hair upon the fare, it has no equal. It
will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest
face in from five to eight weeks, or hair upon
bald heads in front two to three months. A few
Ignorant practicloners have asserted that there
is nothing that will force or hasten the growth
of the hair or beard. Their assertions are false,
as thousands of living witnesses (from their own
experience) can bear witness. But many will
say, how are we to distinguish the genuine from
the spurious ? It. certainly is difficult, as nine
tenths of the different Preparations advertised
for the heir and beard arc entirely worthless,
and you may have already thrown away large
amounts in their purchase. To such we would
say, try the Reparator Capp1111; It will cost you
nothhig unless it fully comes up to our represen
tations. If your Druggist does not keep It, send
us one dollar and we will forward it, postpaid,

THE GREAT ZTNGARI BITTERS.
A Sure Prevent Ure of
01101, - ER_AA
THIS WONDERFUL REMEDY was discovered and
introduced about twenty years ago by Dr.S. Cheopsus,
an eminent Egyptian physician.
He had long seen and felt the want of some reme
dy which would strike at the root of disease, and so
prevent much of the suffering which the human
family was then compelled to endure.
The great question was presented to his mind
every day in vivid colors as lie moved among the
sick and dying, and observed the Inefficiency of
nearly all the remedies then in use. Thus he was
lead to think and experiment • and after ten years of
study and labor, he presented to his fellow-man the
wonderful Zingari Bitters. The effect of this prep
aration in the prevention and cure of disease, 1111.9
so marvellous and astonishing, that the most flat
tering marks of royal favor were bestowed upon
him who discovered it. His name was placed upon
the Roll of Nobles, and a gold medal with the fol
lowing inscription—Dr, Cheopsus, the Public BOW..
factor—lves presented to him by the Viceroy.
The preparation has been used in several epidem
ics of cholera, both as a preventive and curative
measure, and with such great success, that it has
been introduced into nearly all the general hospitals
of the old world.
The old saving that an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, applies with marvelous force
to cholera, and therefore any remedy that will pro
tect as against this terrible disease should be freely
and persistentlyused. •
All pathologists now agree that the cliolwa poison
acts on the excretory organs, and keeps them in
working order, must prevent fl sufficient accumula
tion of the poison to exert its terrible effects on the
organism. This is true not only of cholera, but of
nearly all other maladies, especially the different
forms of fever.
The Great Zingari Bitters Is just such a remedy
as the above conditions require. Its nets on the
organs of excretion and secretion, keeping up a per
fect balance between them. This Bitters 19 com
posed entirely of roots and herbs, so nicely con
cocted that every organ is acted upon and put in
tone. Its taste is pleasant and Its effects prompt
and lasting.
Numerous eases of the following disease have
been cured by it: Cholera, Diarrhoea, Dysentery-,
Typhoid and Typhus Fever, Fever, Ague, Nervous
Debility, Anaemia, Female Irregularities, Dyspep
filit,Flatulency. Colic, Scrofula, de.

MISHLER'S BITTERS
INTERMITTENT AND REMITTENT FEVER
Intermittent Fever is similar to Fever
and Ague and its origin can be traced to
the same causes. As its name implies it is
remittent in its effect, recurring at stated
periods. As in Fever and Ague this disease
is proceeded by a dull,listless feeling. Soon
the Fever, accompanied by a violent hoad
ache, comes on. After raging a length of
time it disappears for a few hours, only to
return with increased severity, and leaving
the sufferer prostrated menially and phy
sically. In ordhiasy practice the first re
sort of the physician in the treatment of this
complaint is quinine and mercury. The
disease by this treatment is checked—not
cured—and is liable at any time to return.
AIISEILEWS BITTERS
C I-I OIA E R-A._.
Mishler's Bitters cures effectually all such
cases by inducing a healthy action of the
Liver and by their unsurpassed tonic pro
perties prevent a recurrence of the disease.
When Mishler's Bitters were first intro
duced to the public the proprietor did not
feel justified in recommending it as a spe
cific for Cholera During the fall of 1865,
Dr. Mishler received the following note
from Jacob L. Baker, Esq., of Lancaster
Pa., a member of the Philadelphia College
of Pharmacy. Arr. Baker had a great deal
of experience in the treatment of Cholera
is a druggist of sixteen years standing,was
Hospital Steward in the Jefferson Hospital,
Philadelphia, for three years, and is withal
a gentleman of undoubted integrity and
one in whose statement the most implicit
confidence can be placed :
Lancaster, November 3d, 1565.
Dr. Mishler—Dear Sir:---Knowing that
the Choi ora with its dreadful ravages is now
up on our land, and knowing that no medi
cine now in our country possesses such a
caloric influence "which is the vital reme
dy tar all diseases of this kind," as the
Bitters you now making I request you to
prepare such a quantity of your bitter as
would snit all demands, as I assure you
they will be an invaluable remedy, end
wilt he hailed as a blessing by all who will
use it.

Yours respectfully.
JACOB L. BAKER
Being thus urged, and having noticed
the Bitters were constantlyouring the most
violent cases of Diarrhoea, Cholera ?.lorbus
and kindred complain ts,Dr. Mishler at last
catered his compounds as a cure for Cholera
The result has exceeded his most sanguine
expectations and fully - justifies all that Mr.
Baker says in his note. It certainly proves
that Mr. 'Baker's practical knowledge of
medicine far exceeds that of most doctors
who too often close their patients with de
leterious drags on some absurd theory.—
For the purpose of showing that IN lishler's
Herb Bitters will cute Cholera we give
below a few facts.
All intelligent persons who have investi
gated the origin of cholera, agree that it is
caused by poison introduced and generated
into the system by impure water, damp
ness, filth and over-crowded rooms with
deficient ventilation. This is proved by
the fact that cholera always rages worse
on board of ships where all of the above
causes are found more or less combined.
To cure cholera, and also to prevent it,it is
necessary to neutralize this position, and
that Mish 1 er's Bitters will do this is proven
by the following :
The steamship Virginia, arrived lit the
Port of New York about the middle of
April with cholera a board a number of the
passengers having died daring the voyage
with this complaint. Among the passen
gers were a family named St:tallith, from
Baden, Germany. This 11111.1 i y was at
tacked with cholera. Fortunately for diem
they had friends living in this city an
caster. Pa.,) who knew the virtues of ish
lees Bitters and who procured a bottle and
sent it to the Selonith family. When this
package arrived at Quaranun e,the doctors
examined it and confiscated the contents.
Another bottle was procured and packed in
a more secure manner: it safely reached the
Schmiths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
ginia, _Henry Schmith and Christ. Schm jib
were both laboring under choleric symp
toms: Mrs. Marcia Schmith, wife or the
former was very bad, not expected to re
cover. and a sou had died of the dread com
plaint and had been buried theday previ
ous. It was in this plight a bottle of Mish
ler's Bitters, sent forth like an Angel of
Mercy found the poor Schmith family.—
Henry Schmidt was the first to try it, and
so instantaneous was the relief he experi
enced that he gave itto nis wife and brother
both of whom it at once relieved. They
used the entire contents of the bottle and
all three were so much relieved that the
physicians permitted them to leave the
Virginia. after being confined at quarantine
aboard that scourge ship forty-twp says.—
The Schmiths proceeded to their relatives
in Lancaster, and at an early opportunity
called on Dr. Mishler to express their grati
tude for the timely relief they had found
in his Bitters. Mr Henry Schmith stated
that all the compounds Um doctors had
given him did no good, but that one glass
of Mishler's Bitters made him feel like a
new Man, warming his whole system,
giving him it healthful heat and causing
him to perspire freely. Ills statement was
substantially was substantially as given
above. and ho further said that if the doc
tors had not kept the first bottle front
reaching him, his son would yet brve been
living. Mrs. Schmidh was still weak front
the effect of cholera, but the continued use
of the Bitters were most sorely restoring
her accustomed vigor.
It is not to be expected that regular M.
Ps. will admit that any remedy not to be
found in the Dispensatory will cure Chol
era or any other complaint, but candor
compels Dr. D. IL Bissell of the Cholera
Hospital ship " 'Falcon" to admit that he
believes Mishler's Bitters to be a " very
good Tonic." In reply as to a case of Bit
ters that was sent to him by a well known
gentleman of Lancaster. lie writes as fol

hospital Ship Falcon,
Quarantin, New York,June 7th, Is6o.
George S. Rowbotham, Esq.— Dear Sir :
Yours of the 23d, inst. is to hand. In re
ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the
case of Bitters you sent me for trial i&c.,
that I gave them to the convalescents in
Hospital. I believe them to be a very
good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all cases
requiring Tonic remedies.
D. H. BISSELL, Physician,
Hospital Ship "Falcon."
This letter from Dr. Bissell,just after the
reception of the Bitters, and before he had
time and opportunity to thoroughly test
their wonderful medicinal properties is
considered an important endorsement, as
that gentleman to-day occupies the most
important position of any physician in
America. The passengers and crews o
emigrant and merchant vessels that arrive
in the Port oh New York from ion ign coun
tries, are suhjeet to his inspection and eon
trol, and the great experience he has had
in the management of that dreadtul dis
ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement by
him an 'masa& importance. This letter
together with the StateMent of the Selnnith
fatally—who while in the Steamer Vir
ginia, ware under Dr. Bissell's control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another case of Cholera cured by Nish
ler,s Herb Bitters is that 01 Mr. Pearsol of
York county, who,alter suffering severely
from all the symptons of Cholera, finally
became collapsed and while in this state,
(the doctors stating that he was_ beyond re
lief) a friend administered freely,Mishler's
Bitters. The effect was instantaneous ;
heat was
induced
in the body, perspira
tion was and after using one bot
tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored.
Mishler's Bitters cures Cholera by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. Poison in the system ,whether
generated by bad air, filth, &c., ns in
Cholera, or introduced by the bite of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex.-
Pelted and all bad symptons allayed by
the use of Michler's Herb Bitters. The
above proves this to be the fact in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.lthinehart proves
that, Mishler's Billers will cure the bite of
a poisonous snake:
Lancaster, July 4th, ISGS.
Mr. B. Mishler—Sir:—About eight weeks
since I was bitten in the left hand by a
snake, but at the time did not know of
what species it was. Immediately after
the bite my hand swelled to a very large
size, and the poison appeared to be work
ing up my aria. I suffered great pain in
my band and arm; I had to quit work and
was afraid I would be compelled to have
my band amputated. I came to you, and
by your advice washed my hand and arm
with your Herb Bitters at the same time
taking it inwardly. In eleven days I was
able to go to work. again. The poison was
all drawn out and Mishler's Herb Bitters
was the only medicine or application that
I made use of. Mr. Christian Burns, a
near neighbor of mine, went out a day or
two after to the place where I was bitten,
and killed what I believe was the same
snake that bit me as he caught within live
yards of the spot whore I was bitten. It
proved to be what is called a copper snake;
at any rate, whether it was the same one
that bit me or not—one thing is certain—
that your Bitters cured the bite of a snake
in my case for which I shall ever be thank
ful, as I believe it was the means of saving
my hand.
shall be pleased to personally BMW*
any ono of the truth of the above.
