That no person should rely on the efficacy
of any ofthOse drugs that are vended as spe-
cites: every one Of our fatal cases has been
preceded BY the exhibition of these drugs, or
the opium pills so generally supposed to be
the FIRST step towards the cure, the folly of
which cannot be too strongly reprobated.
That when person has once pot himself

The House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States were still engaged. at the latest in
tellisencc from the Seat of Government, in
discussing the tariff question; and from the
manner in which they proceeded. we do not
see any immediate prospect Of their coming
10 the end Of the debate. This. being the
most important subject that could come be-
fore Congress, ought to have been taken up
four or five months ago, and not have been
postponed until this late period. The ses-
si,n has lasted almost seven months. In our
opinion there is no apology for the prOcrasti-
nation that has occurred 1.-THE parties cam
not come together, and the result is to be,
what is often and so loudly threatened, viz. a
dissolution of the Union, what possible bene-
fit can there be in putting off the question p
Ii Congress should adjourn without passing
any act on the general subject, or If they
should pass one that shall not prove satisfac-
tory to the South, the result that is threaten
ed will be- the same, if that threat is executed
-ihe Union must be destroyed. Why then
should not the experiment have been made.
and the question settled, earlier in the session
If the Union is to fall Il sacrifice, the sooner
the country knows it The better.
There is. however, in all probability, some
thing more than the mere tariff dispute in
voIv+d in the course of proceeding. The
United States Bank is behind and as the
decision Of that question is calculated to
have more direct influence upon the presi-
deni.I election, it is far more interesting
subject to the devoted and selfish partizans
and supporters Of Gen. Jackson than the.pos-
sibe loss of the Union. BY wasting time in
the discussion of the tariff bill. they multiply
the chances for getting the bank bill put over,
and in that way they doubtless hope to save
General Jackson from the necessity of declar-
ing himself one way or the other, and thus
add to the chance Of his obtaining the election.
How this contest will end we are rot able
10 foretell. At present, the majority Of the
House appear to maintain their firmness and
we hope they will hold out. We should very
much regret TO hear of an adjournment until
both the tariff and the bank are finally dispos-
ed of.-N. Y Adv.
At the late meeting Of the Gen. Synod, 10

The committee, before they were informed
OF the existence of the cholera in Canada, ad-
dressed communication to the President Of
the United States, and transmitted to him
copy Of the above proceedings Of the Synod,
to which they received the following reply:
Washington, June l2. 1889.
Dear Sir--Ihave the pleasure to aeknowl-
ridge the receipt Of your letter Of the 10th inst.
Submitting to me an extract from the min

The Reformed Dutch Church Of North Amer

md Prayer at this time; aud which your
request the President of the Unit

Whilst concur with the Synod in the eff
cacy Of Prayer, and in the hope that our
country may be preserved from the attacks Of
restilence, sand that the judgments now a.
broad in the earth may be sanctified TO the
nations" | am constrained TO decline the
designation Of any period or mode, as proper
for the public manifestation Of this reliance.

ing the limits prescribed by the constitution
Tor the President; and without feeling that |
might IN some degre1 disturb the security

its complete separation from the political
concerns OF the general government.
II Is the province OF the Pulpits, and the
State Tribunals, to recommend the time and
mode, by which the people may best attest
.ne'r reliance on the protecting arm ofthe Al

the apprehension that the Cholera may visit
our land, furnishes proper occasion for this

their consideration.
