PHEASANTS, PARTRIDGES, and
POULTRY.—Landed Proprietors, Gentry, &c., of
the United Kingdom wishing to rear Game for 1868 and
to bo successful, are respectfully asked to send six stamps
for Mr. CHAMBERLIN'S new BOOK, containing .900
certificates of the utility of his FOOD. J. 0. supplies the
Crowned Heads of England and France and the chief of
the aristocracy. By the use of his "Spanish Meal" any
quantity of birds can be raised.

- The hundreds of thousands of heads of Game reared on
my system during the last ten years proves its utility ; the
loss from every cause has not averaged three to the hun-
dred. Gapes and Roup (the two most fatal diseases which
attack game) the birds have been and always are free
from. This is attributable to their robust constitution
and excellent condition. Pheasants fed on my food show
their beautiful plumage with hardness and closeness of
feather to tho greatest advantage; they cannot be sur-
passed.

The magnificent Foreign and English Pheasants at the
Moological Society's Gardens, London, and his Imperial
Majesty's Pheasantry at Compiegne and St. Germains, are
fed with my food.

street, Norwich, England.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

52, Fleot-street. At home from 10 till 5.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which plovokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects aro truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

DEPUTATION TO THE AMERICAN MIN.
ISTER TO GREAT BRITAIN.

Last Saturday the deputation from the British
branch of the International League of Peace and
Liberty presented Mr. Adams with an address on
his approaching departure. Mr. Beales was the
spokesman. He said the League consisted of mem-
bers from almost every European nation, with the
great patriot and champion of civil and religious
liberty at its head. War they regarded as a deadly
game, played for the purposes of dynastic rulers
and arbitrary governments, at the cost of the happi-
ness, the property, and the lives of their subjects
and peoples, as the natural ally of despotic and un-
controlled power, while peace is the natural ally
and handmaid of freedom. They believed that
unless purposely inflamed, no two peoples would
voluntarily engage in mutual slaughter, especially
now when unfettered commerce, rapid international
intercourse, and universally extending knowledge
are daily growing, It was a holy duty, imposed by
precept and principle of religion, by reason, by the
true dignity and welfare of mankind, to dethrone
the horrible Moloch of war, and establish the rule
of international amity and the reign of peace. In
thus acting, we believe it to be in accord with the
sentiments f most of our brethren and kinsmen in
the great Republic. He alluded to the disbanding
of the vast military and naval forces immediately
on the conclusion of peace in America, thus pre-
senting a striking contrast to the enormous armies
kept up by imperial and monarchial rulers. It was I
under these circumstances, they expressed their
warm esteem and regard for Mr. Adams, the repre-
sentative of that country, who, with such distin-
guished ability, and by a singular combination of
talent, moderation and sound judgment under trying,
even exasperating, difficulties, assisted to pre-
vent a frightful and fratricidal war between
Great Britain and the 'United States. The
address from the League embodied these
sentiments, and the following was the reply
of Mr. Adams :—" Mr. Beales and gentlemen, I
am happy to receive you, and to hear from you the
expression of the friendly sentiments which you
entertain towards my countrymen and myself. It is
no part of my province, nor my wish, to draw a
line of distinction between individuals or classes of
the community of which you make an influential
portion, nor yet to enter into questions which
belong particularly to yourselves. It is enough
for me to be assured of your goodwill, and
to have reason to believe that it is now gene-
rally entertained. (Hear, hear.) As for my-
self, having had the satisfaction to receive the
full approbation of my country for the action
which you likewise commend, it naturally follows
that the compliments you pay me are even more
deserved by the authority without which I should
have been powerless. (Hear, hear.) If such be the
ruling spirit of both sides, I am at a loss to perceive
the reason of your alarm about unsettled questions.
Where the will is good, some way to arrangement
is sure ultimately to follow. In my belief the sum
of all true diplomacy is to be found in the Christian
maxim of doing to your neighbour as you would
have him do to you. If all nations were to carry
that rule into practice there would be no wars and
few controversial despatches. (Hear, hear.) I pray
you, gentlemen, to accept my earnest wishes for the
health and happinewi of each and every one of you,"

THE "REVOLUTION" AGAIN.

The Revolution is original, and its•novelty attracts.
Being something new, we cannot refrain from again
referring to the numbers which now pour in steadily
upon us. The merry chime of " Train," which rang
before like joy-bells, has subided into the slow
ding-dong of the minute bell. The. Ambassador is
quoted, alluding to the Revolution's. " sad mistake
in accepting as an ally, one of the most notorious
mountebanks of the day," and " in making their
paper a mouthpiece for that buffoon." Instead of
accepting this, the editor unhesitatingiy declares that
Train who had worked through nine States of the
Union, who had helped them to establish the paper,
was of far greater value to them than those who gave
advice and did nothing, and in this we fully agree
with Mrs. Stanton. The American Presbyterian
says, " Miss Anthony's new papersmacks too strongly
of Train oil ;" adding, " Train, that embodiment and
exaggeration of all our national weaknesses and
follies, had better be kept at rest." Again the editor
defends Mr. Train. "If," says the Revolution,
"Train is the embodiment of all our national
weaknesses and follies, we wonder Victoria did not
put him into the British Museum instead of in
prison ; perhaps she thinks there is method in his
madness." We think that Train embodies far more
than American weaknesses and follies, and we
like to see the lady editor coming forward so ener-
getically in his defence. His pictures of Ireland
have in them the same dash of truth which can be
seen through, his wildest declamation, Mr. John
Bright's brother, Jacob, has been elevated by the
Revolution to the dignity of Honourable. Members
of the English Parliament are not termed Honour-
able except in the courtesy of addressing each other
in the House. If he is a soldier, he is termed the
"gallant" member, if a lawyer the "learned,"
while ordinary members are termed the " honour-
able ;" but this is confined to the walls of Parlia-
ment, and not used as a prefix to the name outside.
E.C.S. is an apostle of Temperance ; the statesmen
and those who attain the highest places, at all given
to intemperance, come under bet lash. We fear
General Grant must have refused point blank
to subscribe, and Horace Greeley gets a rap on the
knuckles for even thinking of supporting the General.
" Republicans and Democrats all admit that Grant
drinks, and many reliable persons assert that they
have seen him drunk in the streets of Washington.
Yet, darest thou, 0 Horace, say that thou wilt sup-
port such a man if he runneth ? 0 Horace, Horace,
wilt thou be a hypocrite ?" There is an admirable
article on Temperance by J. P. Root, M.D. " A
Mother to her Daughter" gives some excellent
advice on diet. The Courier des Etats Unis is
touched on, as it reproduces what Mrs. Stanton
said when describing her canvas in Washington.
The editor is congratulated on reading the Revo-
lution, "as through its teachings this Frenchman
may finally become a man in the best sense of the
word, and advocate true doctrines in his paper.
Strained wit is painful to the hearer, and one soon
discovers that even the Court language of Europe
is not too smooth and oily to furnish a vent to
men's wrath, when women make any demonstra-
tion toward obtaining the franchise." Nearly all
the papers in the Union have copied the few words
Mrs. Stanton said in regard to Senator Conkling,
"1 which is a significant fact, showing that men are
not so far above the vanities of this world as to be
indifferent to the praises of women—that they are
quite as susceptible to flattery as women have ever
had the reputation of being, a reputation attributed
to them mostly by men. Nothing would please
these editors be ter, every mother's son of them,
than to be called fine-looking by a sensible woman."
A Washington correspondent describes Benjamin
Franklin Wade. He was born in the same year
and section of the country as John Brown, the
liberator, and both moved to the northern part of
Ohio at an early age. He did not enter any col-
lege, but, as working boy and student, farming,
teaching school and studying law, at 27 years of
age he was admitted to the bar. During the next
twenty years of his professional life he was Justice
of the Peace, Prosecuting Attorney for Ashtabula
county, Ohio, State Senator and President of a
judicial circuit. He entered the United States
Senate in 1851, and having been twice re-elected,
he is now serving his seventeenth year in that body,
of which at the commencement of the 40th session,
he was elected President. In person Mr. Wade is
of medium height, with a thick-set, square-built
frame. He has a benevolent face, is a genial and
hearty man, plain in dress, plain in speech, and
plain in action ; he reminds you at once of some
good old farmer. His appearance, his substantia

- -
character, and honest, straightforward speech and

ways, have long since earned him the sobriquet
of the "Noble Old Roman" of the Senate.

E.C.S.'s letter from Washington is always of in-
terest. She writes without the slightest reserve,
giving a candid opinion of all the men she
meets there. How they like it is another question,
though it can scarcely fail to amuse the other
readers of the Revolution. She says, " Gen. Butler's

restless manner, and indescribable face arrested my

eye at once. There is that in his air and dogmati-
cal way of speaking that tells you he is a noteworthy
person. Stevens looks languid and pile; when his

time comes may lie fall in the tragic style of Chat-

ham and Adams.

Ilis youthful wig, however, does
. _

not sit well on his aged heal.

The two moat fre-

quent talkers on the Democratic side of the House

are Chanler, of New York, and Eldridge, of Wis-
consin, both bores. Two of the ablest and most

gentlemanly members are Brooks and Pruyn, of
New York. Brooks, however, is a handsome man,
and Pruyn probably has the most cultivated mind

in the House. A cursory glance would at any time
divide the House into three classes, viz., the gentle-
man who has the floor, who is thundering at the
Speaker, and thumping his desk without apparently
any listener ; a score of members writing letters,
franking documents, clapping their hands at the

pages, who chase back and forth with missives ;
and those who are intently eyeing the ladies' gal-

lery. As a general rule the members are well

dressed, and the heels on the desks fewer than of

yore. But the hazing to and fra completely be-

wildered us, and would bring all business to a dead

stand if nine-tenths of it were not mere sham for

the Congressional Globe and buncombe, and of not

the least consequence to the country at large.
We had not from the published reports, a very

high opinion of the talents of our members ; but
we were surprised to learn on the best authority

that probably two-thirds of the set speeches read

from manuscript are not the production of the men
who deliver them, but are prepared by newspaper

reporters and other literary gentlemen in Washing_

ton. This is really disgraceful. Count forty on
your fingers—and the rest had better never have

left their homes. The ablest an among the Demo-
cratic Senators is Reverdy Johnson, but he is the
homeliest in the Capitol. A glance at Mr. Sumner

shows that care is tracing deep lines on his face.

His expression is sad, his hair is turning grey, and

his manner is more subdued than of yore. Report
says that his brilliant Senatorial career will close
with his present term. Wilson is politic, practical,

prosaic, prejudiced, and acrimonious, and, as he

aspires to the Vice-Presidency, has prepared for
that high position by subscribing for the Revolution.
We caught a glimpse of Garret Davis, but fell in

with the current, and left the gallery as he rose to

speak. Our witty friend General Nye had fled to
New Hampshire soon after our arrival. Wash-
burne, of Illinois, whom the Democrats call Grant's
trainer, looked rather young for the father of the

House." E. C. S. wonders what it is in the name of

Washburne that has given for twelve years its

owners a proclivity to Washington, four of
them being in Congress. They all voted on the Re-
publican side. We were impressed with the peculiar

air and face of General Logan, who was among the

live men, however it may be with the faulowi chid,
