the Hygean and most of the various kinds of Pills,

The Resurrection, or Persian PMS.

The name of these pills originated from the cir.
cumstance of the medicine being found only IN the
cemetaries of Persia. This vegetable production
being of peculiar kind, led to experiments as to
ita medicinal qualities and virtues. In half cen-
fury it became established medicine for the dis
eases of that country. The extract of this singu-
lar production introduced into some parts of Eu-
rope in the year l7s3 and used by many celebrated
Physicians in curing certain diseases, where all 9TH
er medicine has been used in vain. Early in the
year 1892, the extract was combined with certain
vegetable medicine imported from Dura Baca, in
the East Indies, and formed into Pills. The admir-
able effect of this compound upon the human sys-
tenn, led physicians and families into its general
use. Their long established character their unver-
sal and healing virtues, the detergent and cleansing
qualities OF their specific acton'upon the glandular
part of the system, such as will sustain their re-
putation and general use in the American Repub-

be prepared with sure remedy to apply on the first
appearance of disease, and then how much distress
would be avoided and money saved, as well as the
lives of thousands who are hurried out of time by
neglecting disease in its first stages by not being
IN possession of a remedy which they can place de-

Semi-Weekly State Capitol Gazette.
The proprietors of the State Capitol Gazette en-
brace this opportunity to return their sincere thanks
to their friends and the public for the very liberal
patronage which thev are pleased to have it in their
power to say, has thus far been extended towards
them, and respectfully announce that the future
course of their journal shall be such as they trust
will continue to receive the confidence and support
of the Democratic party. They assure the public
that no exertion on their part shall he wanting TO
effect this object, and they latter themselves that

Gle of usefulness and information, as will not fail TO
give entire satisfaction to every friend of republican
principles.
The approaching session of the Legislature will
unquestionably, be of great and unusual inter-,
| est There has not, perhaps been time before,
when the attention of the public was so much en-
gagged upon any one subject as il is at present upon
the arrangement of the currency, arising from the
abuses of banking; and the deliberation of the
ensuing Legislature, will in all probability be main
ly directed to this important subject il cannot be
otherwise than that every thing which transpres at
the seat of government in relation thereto, will be
eagerly sought after. With these considerations in
view, the undersigned have made ample arrange
ments for laying before their readers full reports of
the proceedings i'll both branches Of the State Lee
gislature, together with the speeches of members
reports, and other matter which they think will be
interesting. In addition this, il is the intention
of the undersigned to employ able correspondent at
the seat of the general government, by which means
they will be able also, to place in their semi-week-
ly sheet early reports Of the deberation of Con
gress.
The presidential contest Of ls40 is rapidly ap-
preaching. The flag at our masthead indicates
fully the course we intend to pursue in the relation
to this great question; aud as we have already given
our opin at length, on this subject, in former
prospectus, deem in needless at present to tire
our readers, by going the same ground. Suf-
flee it to say, that shall give our united support
and energies towards the re-electionof present able
Chief Magistrate Of the Union, and our humble aid
in behalf of establishing Constitutional Treasu-

Poor or THE CoNsPIRAcY.-Senator Wright,
of New York, in his clear, and thoroughly scar
ching speech on the recent transactions of the
Treasury with Bddle's Bank, mentions the stri-
king fact that on tho 10th OF May, 1897, the
Bank executed the bonds at Philadelphia or
Washington by which the debt Of the u. S.
Bank to the United States of s7,946, 900, for its
stock was deferred in payment for one, two and
three years, thus placing nearly millions be-
yond the control Of the Treasury, and on the
same day, May 10th, The Banks suspended in
New York and were followed all over the coun-
try But sllsrt time before this, Mr.. Webster
at the Merchants meeting in Masonic Hall, n.
York, threatened that they would shut up the
Treasury by shutting up the banks, and while
ON his travels West, he announced the suspen-
sion by anticipation. No train of facts ever
marked conspiracy more distinctly than this.

The editor of the Halifax Recorder pro
pounds the following questions, which we
hope are satisfactorily answered, and at
the same time will refresh his memory.
He says: "What chance of success
would the American Government, which
confesses itseIfto be too weak to carry its
own edicts into execution, have against a
power like Great Britain, nearly sufficient
to meet the 0orld in arms! The idea is
chimerical."
Without referring to hundreds of other
instances, we will merely remark, that
should the dogs Of war" be let loose. we
will have the same ''chance" that we had
when York, in Upper Canada, was taken
by Gen. Dearborn the same "chance''
that VIC had at brideewater-and the
same that the ''HERo or ORLEANs'' had on
the ever TO be remembered Eighth ofJan-

UNION BANK.--This Bank was to have
commenced dscounting her post notes
on the 4th inst We are told there were
some five thousand notes presented for
consideration, and should they all be ia
ken into favor the distribution will be
more equal than is usual on such occa-
sions. Although chartered to benefit the
mass of the people-the planter and me-
chanic, as we'll as the merchant-loans
have too frequently been made to the few,
to the exclusion of the many by our bank
ing institutions.
We yielded our support to this Bank, SO
far as, we thought it capable and willing
to contribute to the establishment of n
sound currency. There were principles
involved that we could not overlook, and
vet knowing public attention was direct
ed to it as means Of establishing conf
dence, extending credits, and affording
aid to such Of our State institutions as
were disposed to resume. we looked 81
lently on until we saw their antcipations
were not to be realize when sense Of
duty impeled US to speak.

at par, have suffered them to be at a

posed, will render them Of less value

flung an ink-stand at the head of mem

who was obliged to cat up [''comma tor

Administration. Next in rank comes that
notorious pinp, Matthew l.. Davis, the
