But the iaius and misery would all s.n return acain. I became des-p- rate, and started in to try remedies of which I read. Among them were the Pink Pills. Their appearance captivated me instantly, for I am a great believer in the beautiful, I took the pill and followed out the directions to the biter, and before many days I began to feel like a different woman. For six weeks I took the pills regularly, and I can truthfully add lifter that I was as well as anyone in the family. The change for the better in my con dition has caused my relatives and friends to take the pills. We buy them all from the drug store of John Iuryea, at the corner ot Pe Ksl. and Sumner Avenue.

One of these, the Busniuen, though few in numbers, were widely scattered over tt.o irr,l r.f Snnth Africa. TluT were noinada of almost the lowest kind, with a marvelous faculty for tracking and wild animals, but neither owning cattle aor tilling tlie soil, with scarcely even a tribal organization, no religion and a language consisting of a succession of clicks. Unable to accus tom themselves to civilized life, driven out of some districts by the settlers and in others no longer able to find support owing to the extinction of game, they are now almost extinct, though a few are still left in the deserts of the Kala hari and northern Bechuanalaud. Bo fore many years the only trace of their existence will be in the remarkable drawings of animals with which they delighted to cover the smooth surface of rocks. These drawings, which are found all the way from Zambezi to the Cape and from jlaniacland to the At lantic, are executed in rod and yellow pigments and arc often full of spirit and character. The second race was that which the Dutch called Hottentot They were of a reddish or yellowish black hue, taller than the Bushmen, but with squat and seldom muscular figures a thoughtless, cheerful, easy going people, who roved hither and thither with their flocks and herds as they could find pasture They were decidedly superior to the Bush men, whom they hated, but quite un able to withstand Europeans, and their numbers rapidly declined, partly from the loss of their best grazing grounds, but largely also through epidemic dis eases, and especially smallpox, which ships, touching on their way from In dia, brought into the country. They are now, as a distinct race, almost extinct in the Colony, though a good deal of their blood has passed into the mixed black population of Cape Town and its neighborhood a population the other elements of which are Malays and west coast negroes, the descendants of slaves imported in the last century. Farther north, oa the south. Pde of the Orange river- and beyond it in Namagualand, sniali tribes cognate to the Hottentots still wander over the dreary plains. Very different from these weak Bush men and Hottentots was and is the third native race, those who are called Bantu (a word meaning "people") by them selves and Kaffirs by Europeans. The word Kaffir is Arabic, aud means an in fidel ( literally 'one who denies' ' k It is applied by Mussulmans not merely to these South Africans, but to other heath en, as, for instance, by the Afghans to the idolaters of Kafiristan in the Hindoo Kush mountains. Tho Portuguese prob ably took the name from the Arabs, whom they found already settlexj on the east coast. These Bantu tribes if we may class those? as Bantus who spak languages of what is called the Bant a type fill all east Africa from the re gions of the upper Nile southward. Those who d well south tf the Zambezi are geniTally (strong and Well made men, sometimes as thick a a gulf of Guiuea negro, sometimes verging on a brown tint ; and though they have the woolly bair And thick lips generally characteristic of the negro, individuals are often found among them whose cast of features suggests an admixture of Semitic blood. They are more prolific than the Hottentots, as well as physi cally stronger and better made, and they were further advanced ju the arts of life. Some of the tribes dug put and worked iron and copper; all of them used iron. Their chief wealth Jay in their cattle ; horses they did not possess, but where tho land was fit for tillagtt they cultivated it They had no religion, except in a sort cf magic, and that wor ship of tho ghosts of ancestors which seems to be the uit widely diffused of all human superstitions.

Westminster Review. Hadraa ThoidenUrau, As the result of hit prolonged study of those striking phenomena, the thun derstorms of Madras, Professor Smith infiirms the Scottish Meteorological so ciety that the first remarkable fact ob served by him was that of certain sea sons of the year when sheet lightning appeared almost every night, always in a west or southwesterly direction and invariably near the horizon ; it may be, therefore, he remarks, that these dis charges occur in the region where the moist and dustless sea wind meets the dry and dusty land wind, one being, perhaps positively electrified and the other negatively. In these lightning dis plays as many as S00 flashes per minute havo been counted, this rate being kept up for an hour or an hour and a half. Another uotablo peculiarity remarked cf this region is that the heaviest rains are unaccompanied by thunder, while the displays of lightning arc not accom panied by any rain.

The Whig convention of 1VI0 wns held in a new Lutheran church in Harrisburg, Pa., and it is safe to as sume that never lefore or since bus a house of God been made the scene of so much and so adroit politieml ma neuvering as went ou there for the pur peise of preventing the uoniinatiem of Henry Clay fe.r the Presidency. The chief manipulator was Thurlow Weed, who apjieared there as, the friemi of Governor Seward, and the future 111cm ler ef the powerful firm of Seward, Weed and Greeley. This firm was, in-, deed, the outcome, of the ensuing cam paign. Greele y was at the convention, little dreaming that the campaign which was to follow would give him the opportunity- fi r developing the qualities which wen-lo make him tlie first eelitor of a gn at newspaper to be forever linked indissolubly with his name. Weed went to the convention with the determination ef defeating Clay. He says, in his "Autobiog raphy," that he had had the New Yerk delegation instruct forSceittto keep it from Clay, his real candidate being Harrisem. He entered into an agreement with friends of Webster, 011 the way to Harrisburg from New York City, to act together for Clay's defeat Welister was in Kure.pe at tlie Mine, and had sent word to his friends de clining to I a candidate, primarily U caeef Weed's refusal to support him. After detailing these facts, Mr. Weed goes on to say that, on reaching Ilar risburg, "we fouiul a decided plurality in favor of Mr. Clay, but that in the opinion f the delegates from IVnn-yl-vania aud New York, Mr. Clay could nt curry tidier orthoses States, and without thetu lie c t.M not heele-cte. i." Weeel admits a bargain in fever of Harrison with the friends both of V -b- eter and of He-ott, ami says the "f vote was intctitieinally delayed by friends of the slronge-st caiulidate ( risen) for twt-nty-fe.ur hours, in o to placate the angry friends oft" whose disappointnicnt and vex" on found excited expression." U re-ley nifckes frank admission, iu his "lb. .d lections of a Uusy Life," as to the plot, by saying that the parlies to It, chiefly Weed, "Judged that he (Clay) could not be chosen, if nominated, while another could Ik-, and aetnl ace-ording-ly," adding, "If politics do not medi tate the achievement of beneficent ends, through the choice and u-J f the safest and nirst ellective means, I wholly misapprehend theui." This somewhat Jesuitical view did not strike Clay aud his friends as an adequate justification of the methods by which an admitted majority of the conven tion bad bttt-n prevented from express ing its will. Johu Tj ler, of Virginia, one of Clay's most ardent friends in the convention, was so overcome with grief at Ilarrisem's nomination that he s!.ed tears; aud after several unavailing efforts to get some one clr to take the nomination for Vice President, Tyler was named for it, his tears having con vinced the convention that the placing of so devoted a frie-nd of Clay on the ticket would go far to he-al the wounds that the methods of the convention had eauseel. Clay's rage at the outcome was furi eus. He had lie'en assuming in the Senate a lofty indiiTt-rence to the Pres idency, his fatuous saying, "I would rather be right dutu be President," having let n made public e;nly a short time In-fore thect i.v. ution met. There was noboely in the Si-nate at that time of sufliciently nimble wit to think of the biting retort which Speaker Reed many years later made to a congress man who for the thousandth time was strutting about In Clay's east-ofT gar ments, "Don't give yourself the slight est uneasiness ; you'll never be either." But Clay had given himself great un easiness, for he was must desirems of the nomination.
