DII BARRY'S delicious health-restoring Invalids' and Infanta' Food. THE REVALENTA ARABIOA saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric de rangements, hemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neu ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramps, spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 18,413):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal. it has produced a surprisingly tosneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly."

L7';'t - .1 • --;:-+15 —s-- -1,, - The following is the text of Presiders - 6 . o,Ap 4o ievoVst proclamation of amnesty :—" WashingkOti;'.Djeci: Whereas, the President of the United States hasiiiieF, Vlore set forth several proclamations offer% suhtesty and pardon to persons who were concerned in the late rebellion against the Government of the United States, which proclamations were severally issued on the Bth day of December, 1863 ; 26th day of March, 1864 ; 29th day of May, 1865 ; 7th day of September, 1867 ; and on the 4th day of July, 1868 ; whereas the authority of the Federal Government having been re-established in all the States and territories within the jurisdiction of the United States, it is believed that such prudential preserva tions and exceptions as were deemed necessary may be now wisely and justly relinquished, and that a universal amnesty and pardon for all participation in said rebel lion will tend to secure permanent peace, order, and prosperity throughout the land, and to renew and fully restore confidence and fraternal feeling among the whole people. and their respect for and attachment to the national Government, designated by its patriotic founders for the general good—now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew -Johnson, President of the United States, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by the Constitution, and in the name of the sovereign people of the United States, do hereby proclaim and declare uncondi tionally and without reservation to all and to every person who, directly or indirectly, participated in the late insur rection or rebellion, a full pardon and amnesty for the offence of treason against the United States, or of adher ring to their enemies during the late civil war, with restoration of all rights, privileges, and immunities under the Constitution and the laws which have been made in pursuance thereof. In testimony whereof X have hereunto set my hand and seal, &c., &c. " ANDREW JOHNSON.- This full pardon and amnesty of President Johnson includes Jefferson Davis, Breckenridge, Jacob Thompson, Mason, Slidell, and all others who were directly or indirectly engaged in the late insurrection or rebellion. The parties above-named are now in foreign countries. The proclamation excited but little comment in Washington, and was regarded as a matter of little moment by Demo , crate and Moderate Republicans. Extreme Radicals, how. ever, deemed it to be another Presidential " outrage," "" 4 a few of the more violent suggested another nment. A rumour obtained circulation in Wash. asYgt i on on the 26th that Messrs. Mason, Slit; Beechen. ridge, Benjamin, and Wigfall had sent despatches anxiously inquiring the exact nature of - the protection which the President's amne!r proclamation would afford them in case of iheir return to the United States. ,'.FEE FREE LOVERS.• At the annual tslennerhassett feast, a letter was re - a, from Mr. William Lawson, who is in America, inquiring . into the economy of those novel communities in which marriage, and property, and other Old World "notions" are dispensed with. In the letter, which is dated from Oneida Creek, he says :—" Now that I have stayed with the Oneida Creek Communists for three days and four nights, I must tell you something about them. The corn l munity numbers about 275 ; but about 25 of this number are at their settlement of Wallingford, in the State of Con. necticut, and about 300 miles from here. Of the 250 that are here there are about as many males as females, of various ages. They have a farm of about 520 acres here, on which they conduct the following business:— Grazing, corn-growing, fruit-growing, preserving fruits, corn, and vegetables ; shop keeping, silk spinning, iron. founding, steel-trap making, and the writing, editing, printing, and publication of a weekly newspaper. For thirty-four years they have persevered, through many great difficulties, in publishing and gratuitously circulating a periodical The clerking, printing, and editing are done by the female members of the community. The whole party seems to lead a blameless, industrious, con tented, and useful life. They are intensely theological, pro. foundly scriptural, and enthusiastically Christian; and they found their practice on their theology,of which one of the vital points is the doctrine that what they call ' Christ's second coming' took place at the destruction of Jerusalem, A.D. 70. They consider themselves civilised enough to do with. out old-fashioned marriage, and they look for God's will to be ' done in earth as it is in heaven, where they neither marry nor are given in marriage.' However, they do not object to marriage for people in the world who know no better.' In their school I found a party of nineteen re. markably bright and happy-looking little children. They have entertained me very kindly, and I believe them to be constantly kind towards each other and everybody. Their spiritual leader is Mr. Noyes, a man of deep thought and great learning. You may be sure that among these hundreds of Communists there is a great diversity of talent, disposition, and education. They have no private property, but have all things in common. They have meetings every evening in their great hall, for hearing news, &c., read aloud, and again for conversation. Some. times they have concerts and theatrical performances here. Last night one of their members, who is a highly-educated university man, gave us a lecture on chemistry, illustrated by experiments. Some business was soon gone through. ' Rule Britannia' and some other songs were beautifully sung. On Mr. E.'s Raking for criticism, about a dozen male and female members of the community talked about Mr. E. one after the other for half an hour, commending his good and condemning his bad qualities. The criticism is very highly valued for keeping the members on their good behaviours and in ro 14....0ns iuu uauus, auu everybody (of whatever age) is a student. Some of the ' helps' work ten hours a day, and some eight ; but the members usually work not more than eight hours in summer, and four in winter. One man— who was crippled by a tree falling upon him while work. ing at the clearing of the farm in its early days—has be. come a very good shorthand writer and reporter. These people usually have three meals a day—at six a.m., mid day, and six p.m. ; and they scarcely eat any fish or flesh, but live very much upon a great variety of fruits, and of faricaneous and vegetable food. They seem to be working in earnest for the public good. They consider that their movement is in its infancy, and look forward to having free university—the greatest and best in the nation." AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—A serious collision has taken place between several poachers and the game. keepers of Mr. Llewellyn, of Penllergoer. The poachers made a desperate resistance, and injured two of the keepers. They subsequently effected their escape, but four men have since been taken into custody on suspicion of being the offenders. DEATH OF A SCOTCH LAIRD.—Mr. Alexander Cameron Campbell, the head of the clan of that name, has just died at Leamington, at his residence, Markham House, York-terrace. Mr. Campbell possessed extensive estates in Perthshire, and on more than one occasion was honoured with visits from the late Prince Consort and her Majesty, at his seat at Monzie. In her Majesty's "Journal" Mr. Campbell is several times referred to, and it was with him that the Prince Consort made his first deer-stalking excursion. Mr. Campbell has for some time been in failing health, and his death was not unexpected. M. H. ROCHEFORT.—M. H. Rochefort wrote to a friend in Perigord on December 29 that he would not accept the amnesty that was spoken of for the let January, but that he would become a candidate - for Paris at the next general election. In the same letter he says that he received a gold pen in a gold case as a present from the American clubs, accompanied by an address, in which he was compared to Lafayette. The German shop windows contain his portrait, and the journals are full of extracts from La Laterne. He received a letter from Castelar, the head of the Republican party in Spain, and Mazzini sent him his portrait. " This popularity," he concludes, " greatly surprises me. I accept it ; but I must admit I do not merit it." NEW JorßNaLs IN FRANCE. —It appears that no less than 139 new journals were started in Paris in the course of past year— that is, since the law on previous authorisation was abolished. Of these 104 were literary and art journals ; fourteen treated on political matters, six of them appearing daily ; twelve on art applied to in. dustry and science ; one on magnetism ; one on the rural police, or gardes champetres ; one on café concerts ; one on aerial navigation ; one on railroad stations ; and one on house porters. Soon after the appearance of the Lanterns thirty-three of the same form and character were started. They have, some of them, the most out-of-the-way names, suc h as the Canzell on, Bala y cur d'A neries, Chaveur Lumigmon, Concierge, and Punaises dans le Beurre. Of the 139, only two continue to appear. A RUNAWAY VISCOUNT.—We find in the Figaro the following :—" The mysterious disappearance of Viscount d'Archiac, professor of paleontology at the Museum of Natural History, continues unexplained. On the 15th of December he left his residence after having told the servant he would be back by dinner hour. He was shabbily dressed at the time, and wore an old office cap, with the object, perhaps, as much of avoiding recogni tion as of encouraging the idea that he was not going to any distance. He carried under his arm a napkin containing letters and papers which he threw into the letter-boxof the Legislative Body. They were farewells to different friends, as well as to the Minister of Public Instruction, to the Director of the Museum, and to his notary, to whom he sent his last instructions. He informed them all that he would not return, and that he desired hie departure to be shrouded in as much mystery as possible. The probability is believed to be that he took one of the trains which leave the St. Lazare terminus. A trace hae been found as to his movements, and there is hope the; some information as to his whcroahonts„ =auk& la latatiga UXURIANT WHISKERS AND MOUS T ACHE S.—Hundreds testify to the success of farS NOTED FORMULA, which forces whiskers and mou staches to grow heavily in six weeks on the smoothest face, without injuring the skin.
