GUAN O—ITS; HISTORY.
Guano, as most peqplq understand, is, im-:
ported from the islands of the Pacific—most
ly of’ the Chincha group off the of
Peru, and under the dominion of that gov
ernment., Its sale, is made a monopoly, and
the avails, to a great extent, go to pay the
British holders of Peruvian government bonds,
giving them to all intents and purposes, a lien
upon the .profits of a treasure intrinsically
more valuable than the gold mines of Cali
fornia. .There are deposits of this unsur
passed fertilizer in some places to the depth
of sixty ot seventy feet, aed over large ex
tents of surface. The guano fields are gen
erally conceded to be the excrementa of
aquatic fowls which live and nestle in great
numbers around the islands. They seem de
signed by nature to rescue, at least it) part,
that untold amount of fertilizing material
which every river end brooklet is rolling into
the sen. The wash of alluvial soils, the float,
mg refuse of the field and forest, and, above
all, the wasted materials of great cities, are
constantly being carried by the tidal currents
nut to sea. These, to a certain bxtenl at
least, go to nourish, directly or indirectly,
submarine vegetable and animal life, which
m turn goes to feed the birds which at our
day are brought away by the ship load from
the Chincha islands.
Tile bird is,a beautifully-arranged chemical
laboratory, lilted up to perform a single op
eration, viz :—to take the fish as food, burn
out the carbon by means of its respiratory
functions, and deposit the remainder in the
shape of an incomparable fertilizer. But
how many ages may these depositions of
seventy feel m thickness been accumula
lina 1
There ere at the'present day countless
numbers of the birds resting upon the islands
at night; but, according to Baron Humboldt,
the excrements of the birds for the space of
three centuries would not form a stratum
over one-tbird of an inch in thickness.—
By an easy mathematical calculation, it will
he seen that at this rate of deposition, it
would lake seven thousand five hundred and
sixty centuries, or seven hundred and fifty
six thousand years, to form the deepest gua
no bed ! Such a calculation carries us back
well on towards a former geological period,
and proves one, and perhaps both, of two
things—first, that in past ages an infinitely
greater number of these birds hovered over
the islands ; and secondly, that the ma
terial world existed at a period long anterior
to its fitness ns the abode of man. The
length of man’s existence is infinitesimal,
compared with such a cycle of years ; and
the (acts recorded on every leaf of the ma
terial universe ought, if it does not, to leach
us humility. That a little bird, whose indi
vidual existence is as nothing, should, in
ns united-action, produce the means of bring
ing back (o aa active fertility whole provin
ces of waste and barren lands, is one of a
thousand facts to show how apparently in
significant agencies in the economy of na
ture produce momentous results. —London

The Sound Dues.—WJial they arc.
The “Sound 'Dues” at the present lime be
ing the subject of much agitation at Wash
ington and elsewhere, and as they may pos
sibly give rise to 'a serious dispute between
the United Slates and Denmark, it is well
that all should know what they are. The
“Sound” is a narrow strait lying between the
island of Zeland, belonging to the Danes, and
the Swedish coast, and gives entrance to the
Baltic Scs. The fortress of Cronhurg Castle
commands the passage, and exacts a payment
from all vessels entering the Baltic ; the ships
of Denmark herself have to pay, as well as
foreign lonage. The origin of this exaction
is, that in ancient limes, Denmark undertook
to build and sustain certain light-houses along
the coast, for which the Hanestowns agreed US'
pay toll. England, Franco, Holland and
Sweden pay a duty of one per cent, on ev
ery cargo entering the Baltic. Other coun
tries including the United Siates, pay one and
a quarter cent"; even Danish ships are taxed
to this rate. In the year 1826, a treaty re
cognizing this duty was concluded between the
United Slates and Denmark. This treaty,
however, according to one of its stipulations,
may be dissolved by either of the parlies,
provided they give one year’s notice of their
intention, During the Presidency of John Ty
ler, our Government determined to pm a for
cible end to this imposition. Mr. Upshur, then
Secretary of Stale, fitted out a fleet of mer
chantmen and vessels of war, under Commo
dore Stuart, which he designed should
force its way into the Baltic, and thus at once
rid the United Stales of the Sound duties.—
Mr. Upshur’s sudden death, however, by (he
explosion of a cannon just as the fleet was
ready to start, delayed Iho exhibition, and it
was finally abandoned. Other attempts were
made to abolish this lax. While Denmark
was at war with Schleswig-Holstein, Mr.
Flenniken, the U. S. Minister offered, on the
part of his Governmet to pay Denmark $250,
000 for 10 years’ suspension of dues ; his
death prevented proposal coming to a
head. Finally, on the 12lh of April last the
U. S. notified the Danish Government of their
intention to cease paying the Sound duties,
and the stipulation of the treaty will accor
dingly expire next Spring. Should no ami
cable arrangement of the question be arrived
m in the meanwhile, we expect to
see our vessels passing the Sound under war
like convoy. A serious conflict will then
most probably arise— Alb. Tram,

very few aft the diseases in which a Purgative Mcdi
,>cine la not mote or leas required, and much sick
ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm
less but effectual Cathartic were more freely used.
No person can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails; besides it soon generates serious and
oflen ’fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
by the timely and judicious usq of a good purgative.
This is alike true of Colds. Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or
produce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which load the ncarscs all over the land. Hence a
reliable family physic is of the first Importance to
the public health, and .this Pill has been perfected
with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profcs
. sore, and Patients, has shown surpassing
any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures
have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such exalted position and
character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Among the many eminent gentlemen who have
testified in favor of these Pills, we may mention:
Db. A. A. Hayes, Analytical Chemist, of Boston,
and State Aasaycr of Massachusetts, whose high
professional character is endorsed by the
Hon. Edward Everett, Senator of the U. 8.
Robert C, Wintkuop, Ex-Speaker of the House
»f Representatives.
Abbott Lawrence, Minister Plan, to England,
f John B. Fitzpatrick, Cath. Bishop of Boston.
Also, Dn. J. R. Chilton, Practical Chemist, of
New York City, endorsed by
Hon. W. L. Maucy, Secretary of State.
Wm. B. Ahtor, the richest man in America.
S. Lbland Hi. Co., Propria of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space permit, wc could give manv hundred
certificate*, from all parts where the Pills have
been used, but evidence even more convincing than
thq experience of eminent public men is found in.
their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long Investigation and
study, arc offered to the public os the best and
most complete which the present state of medical
science can afford. They are compounded not of
the drugs themselves, hut of the medicinal virtues
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process in a state of purity, and combined together
in such a manner ns to insure the best results. This
system,of composition for medicines bps been found
in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. The reason is perfectly ob 4
vious. While by the old modeuf composition, every
medicine U burdened with more or less of acri
monious and injurious qualities, by thin each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative
effect is present. * All the inert ond obnoxious qual
ities of each substance employed are left behind, the
curative virtues oulv being retained. Hence it 5s
self-evident the effects should prose ns they have
proved more purely remedial, and the Pill* u surer,
moro powerful antidote to dbense than any other
medicine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my medicine
should be taken under the counsel of un attending
Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a
remedy without knowing its composition, I have
supplied the accurate Formula; by which both my
Pectoral and Pills ore made to the whole body of
Practitioners in the United States and British Amer
ican Provinces, If, howoier, there should be any
ono who has not received them, they will be
promptly forwarded hv mail to his address.
Of aH*thc Patent Medicines that are offered, how
few would be taken if their composition was known 5
Their life consists in their mystery, X have no
mysteries. . •
The composition of my preparations is laid open
to all men, and nil who nic competent to judge on
the subject freely kcknowlcdge their comietions of
their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral uns
pronounced by scientific men to ho n wonderful
medicine before its effects were known. Mam em
inent ITiysicians have declared the same thing of
mv Pills, and even more confidently, and arc will
ing TO cemty tltni tUCII QittklynUnnn were, umta
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action rcmoie the obstructions of
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange
ments as arc the first origin of iUmswc.
Being Hugar wrapped they arc plciu-ruit to tube,
and being purely vegetable, no barm can arise from
their use in anv quantity.
