| i'ite challenge for a trial of strength
M>y C arl, having been accepted, a large
hibly witnessed the performance.
Irevious to the trial, Prof. Carl gave aft
bi ion o| magic and ventriloquism,
brined his celebrated guitar and drutn j
p, balanced sixteen chairs upon his
I, aud performed other feats, culling for 1
pcercise of strength which must have |
heti him somewhat. Mr. Madison
appeared—held an anvil weighing
pounds upon his breast while two men
tk upon it with sledges: held an anvil 1
i each knee; hroke a number of stones
1 his fist; bent a bar of iron a quarter i
i inch thick by striking it over his ■
i and held an anvil weighing about
hundred pounds upon each arm,
e men struck upon it with sledges,
rof. Carl then appeared, held an anvil
i his breast; bent the bar of iron al
-1 double upon his arm; held the anvils
I his 2rrns, etc., for a longer period
' Mr. Madison had done. He then
the large flint stones which had been
ited by his rival and hammered them

fig in two a flag stone about large

8 over 'tis head for forty-one seconds,
• a sixty pound weight upon his little ;
J and swung it around his head, and
two men on a chair while he whirled
i about, top-fashion, until their feet j
t out at an angle of 45 degrees.
r - Madison was then called out by the
toce, and requested to give an account
"nself. He excused himself in the
Er of the stones by saying that his
was in constant practice, while he
lot broken a stone for a year. Being
to swmg the weight about his head,
eokned to do it, on the score of iaa-1
bility, and as Professor Carl had not held

tually acknowledged himself a whipped

DOUBT*AT*AN END.
The Decision of the People. —It is one of
the noblest characteristics of au era that the
people think and judge for themselves. The
j mental training received at our Common
Schools and Free Academies, fit them for this
task. They are taught to iuvestigate, toana
| lyze, to take nothing for granted until they
have tested and proved its truth. Hence if
the "voice of the people," is not "the voice of
God," it approximates infallibility more near
ly than any opinion limited to a single class
; possibly can.
Apply this rule to the remedies for exter
j nal and internal maladies introduced in all
parts of the Globe by Professor Holloway.
and what is the result. For every one human
being, who places confidence in any other
medicine, at least one hundred rely implicit
ly upon his Pills and Ointment, and prove
j the laith that is in them by using these rent
; edies to the exclusion of all others. Look at
; another significant fact. Among the class of
medical dogmatists, fortunately for mankind
diminishing every day, who deny the efficacy
of Holloway's preparations, scarcely any two
agree. The prescription of each practitioner
differs as widely from that of his neighbor,
as it does from Holloway's. Submit any case,
ordinary or extraordinary, to a hundred so
called 'regular physicians,' and you will have
as much confusiou of opinion as there was of
tongues in Label. Dr. Dopletus will recom
mend blistering, bleeding, sudorifics and
blankets; Dr. Pn acerup will prescribe quinine
and jellies and throw the doors and windows
open. The patients perplexed iti the extreme
—or rather perplexed between two extremes
—will perhaps try both, or possibly adopt
the idea that a system involving such contra
dictions cannot be worthy, cry, with Mereu
tin. "a plague o' both your houses, I am sped."
Certainly when we find that one half of the
adult population of the known world have
used and approved Holloway's medicines, and
that the remainder are subjected to hundreds
of modes of treatment so opposite to each
other that no two of them can by any possi
bility be right, we may fairly conclude that
the verdict of the consistent half of mankind
is correct and true.
The tune has passed, never to return, when
the dictum of theorists could outweigh incon
trovertible tacts. If thousands of invalids
who have exhausted the materia inediea stud
consulted the lights of.-til the Medical Schools
ui v i:n, recovered bv the aid of Holloway's
remedies they must necessarily take prece
dence ui all others. They have done so wher
ever they have been introduced. They are
not the pet medicines of a clique, or a class,
or a single community. Mankind is their
patron, the whole habitable globe the theatre
of their triumphs.— X. V. Saturday Evening

cure Sick Headache. Take one or two tea
spoonsful at each attack and it will soon disap
p< ir. For an overloaded stomach, or when
food rises or sours, take the lnvigorator after
eating, and it will not prove disagreeable or op
pressive. For Heartburn, Palpitation, or Dim
cult Breathing, take a tcaspoonful once or twice
daily. For loss of Appetite, Languor or Lisl
ies-ncss, the medicine is invaluable. It will
restore the appetite and make the food digest
well. Nightmare—take a teaspoonful on reti
ring, and the demons of dream-land will all he
fairies. After eating a hearty dinner, take a
dose of lnvigorator and it will relieve all op

I found the enemy had fortified Nelson's
Hill, 250 yards in the rear of the castle,
with strong breastworks, ditches, several
large guns and 500 men. He retreated
without making an attack, and destroyed
all the fortifications below Castillo; aban
doning all hope of ojiening the river. He
disbanded the two batalions of recruits
and formed another from those who were
willing to go to Walker via Panama.
On the 2d April the boiler of the Scott
