ri, MENT.—AII who hal/a - Friends and
ltelativee in the Army or Navy, should take
special eare, that they be amply - supplied with
these" Pills and Ointment; and where the
breve Soldiers and Sailors- have neglected to
provide themselves with them, no better pres
enrcan be sent them by their friends. They
have been proved to be the Soldier's never
failing-fliend in the hour of: need. •
COUGHS AND COLDS AFFECTING TROOPS.
Will be speedily relieved and effectually
cured by using these admirable medicines, and
by paying proper attention to the Directions
which are attached to each Pot or lox.
Sick Headache and want of Appetite Incidental
to Soldiers
. .
Those feelings Which so Sadden. us, usual -
arise. from trouble or annoyances, obstruct:.
prespiration, or eating and drinking whatev•
is unwholesome, thus disturbing the.healtlifu
action of the liver and stomach. These - organs
must be .relieved, if you desire to do welt r --
The Pills; taking according to the printed
instructionS, will quickly prOduce a healthy ac
tion in both liver and stomach, and as a natu
ral consequence a Clear head and good appeiite.
Ina/mess and debility induced by over Fatigue.
Will soon disappear by the use of these in
valuable Pills, 'and the &liar' Will quickly
acquire additional .atrength. Never let the
bowels he either Confined or unduly. acted
upon. It may seem". grange that
Pills should be recommended for Dyilentery
and Flux, many persons supposing that they
would increase the relaxation. This is a
great mistake, for these Pills will correct ,the
liver and stomach and ihus.remove all the
acrid humours from the system. This medi
cine will give tone and vigor to . the whole
organic system however deranged, ~ while
health and strength follow ria a matter of
course. Nothing will stop the relaxation.of
the Bowels so sure as this famous medicine.
VOLUNTEERS ATTENTION !
Sores and Ulcers, Blotchea and Swellings
Can with certainty be radically cured if the
Pills are taken night and morning, and the
Ointment be freely used as stated in the printed
nstructions. If treated in any other , nanuer
they dry up in one part to break out in another.
Where is this Ointment will remove the
former from the system and leave the Patients
in vigorous and healthy man. It will require
as little perseverance in bad cases to insure, a
astng cure.
For Wcninds either wastoned by the Bayonet,
Sabre or, the Bullet, Sores .or Bruises,
To which every Soldier and Sailor are liable
there are no medicines so safe, sure and cur
venient as Holloway's Pills and Ointment
The poor wounded and Almost dying s.ufferer
might have his wounds dressed immediately,
if he would only provide himself with this
matchless Ointment, Which should be thruss
into the wound and smeared all around it, then
cover t% ith a piece of linen, from his Knapsack
Pm] compressed with a handkerchief. Taking
night and morning . 6 or 8 Pills, to cool the
system and prevent inflamation.
Every Soldier's Knapsack and Seaman's

WIIAT IS DIRT ?--- Old_ Dr.. . Poo . : r,
Conti" Carolina,-used,tp say, to his
_stu
dents : "Don't be afraid of a little dirt,
gentlemen. What is dirt.? , Why,. no.
thing at all offensive when .chemically
viewed. Rub a little alkali„ upon that
'dirty grease spot' apOn your
_coat, and
it undergoes a n chemical change and .be
comes soap. Now rub it with a Tittle
water and it diSappears.; : it is, neither
grease, soap, water, nor dirt. :That is
net a very odorous pile of dirt , you ob
serve there. Well, scatter a little gyp
sum over it, and 'tis no longer
EVerything you call dirt is worth your
notice as students of chemistry. Ana
lyze it 1 It will seperate into very clean
elements. Dirt makee corn, corn makes
bread and meat, and that makes a very
sweet young lady that I saw one of you
were kissing last night. So, afteeall,
you were kieeing dirt—partieularly if she
whitened her skits with chalk orFuller's
earth. There is no telling, gentlemen,
what is dirt, though I may say that rub
bing-each stuff upon the beautiful skin
of a young lady is a dirty practice.-*---
Pearl powder, I think: is made of bis

BORROWING Tniscs.—Blessed is he
that has nothing to lend. People will
borrow, and some of them with a ven
geance ; of such is an individual named
George Leslie, of Chicago, whose dis
position to borrow has just bean made
public at the expense of numerous
friends. He was connected in some
way with the Massasoit house, as porter
or waiter, and on Friday last conceived
the brilliant idea of borrowing every
thing he could and then leaving. Act
ing on this new suggestion, he, within
the, space of two hours,, borrowed a vest,
coat, and a pair of pants, and a gold
watch from a friend at the Massasoit
House, to wear at the sameparty.; from
another a coat and an opera glass to go
to the theatre ; from the clerk of the.
Girard House, $125; in *money ; kern a
chambermaid at the Dearborn House,
$35 inmoney, and smaller amounts from
a dozen others. He then purnhaqed a
ticket for Toronto, Canada, and de
parted.
SIDNEY SMITEI ON liassmo.—The•Rev.
Sidney. Smith once said , in writing of
"We are in favor of certain degree
of shyness when a kiss is proposed, but.
it -site* not continue too long; , and
when the fair one gives it let it be. ad
ministered with warmth. and .energy.—

The, Red River Republican gives -~the

DEATH OF A CELEBRATED A
The douit journal announces the death
-of i. - -cetetirated little 'animal Wfiit'e
Velvet has just paid the penalty of na
ture at the age of forty.seven. White
Velvet was a pony that our Queen,
When used to ride, and was
the first She ever mounted. Poor White
Velvet, from the stables of the .late
Duchess of Kent, became one of Ast
ley's great attractions, where he reniain
ed tilt an apcident caused
him to becOme . tarne. He VMS then sold
for Ta l to a Rielimend: (Yorkshire) ba
ker, When he Was harnessed to a cart
that contained the bread for distant
customers. This wjik-he continued so
long that White Velvet became well
known all round - the • neighborhood ;
aud,, finally. a :Yorkshire squire, with a
fine estate close to , Richmond, in, sheer
pity,„bought him and turned him out in
afield, and there left him to enjoy the
remainder of his eventful, life in peace
and comfort.
