THE ScARcIrY ABRoAD.-Deep ap-
prehension is felt in London, for the
state Of the people in the two kingdoms
before the harvest. They apprehend,
that nearly all the wheat which this
country can spare has been sent to Eng
land, and that of consequence there
must be great suffering, before the earth
Yields her increase. The Journal Of
Commerce publishes a letter from an
American merchant, which presents an
alarming condition Of things abroad,
owing to the scarcity. He says in
England they are on the verge Of bank
rnptcy and famine. Money terribly
tight, and food Of all kinds very scarce
and high, and the lower classes as near
starvation as they can be. The people
are alarmed, the government also, at
the short supply Of food on hand. The
Queen has setthe example, and ordered
that all her household are to have bu:
a pound Of bread per day, and that to
be made Of second quality flour. All
pastry is recommended 10 be omitted,
and all the people are charged to use the
strictest economy in food. Riots are
becoming frequent in England, as they
have been and are in Ireland. There
is not at this moment ten days supply
offood in London-a city Of two mil
lions OF people. If this statement is
not greatly exaggerated, they have rea-
SON to be alarmed.

the new test can be made to govern
that election, | shall consider that dam
ger consummated, and that there must
soon be an end not only Of the Demo-
cratic party, but Of all parties founded
on principle, and, eventually, an end Of
the Union itself. Instead, then, of in
dulging a personal Or local feeling in
favor OF particular candidates, let US,

the good Of the Union and the party
requires, and wait to receive a candi-
date from that section Of the Union
which has given but n Democratic
President in neal sixty years, and that
one but for a single term. and which
is now threatened, so far as Southern

Rio Frio.

.f The reports which have reached US
by recent arrivals from Mexico, that
Santa Anna is preparing to resist the
march of the American army upon the
city Of Mexico, at the Rio Frio pass,
has naturally drawn attention to that
spot. This pass is said to be much
more formidable than that Of Cerro
Gordo. and is thus described to the edi-
tor Of the New Orleans Bulletin by a
gentleman who is said to be familiar
with it:
SIT goes through the mountain with
a steep ascent, and for nearly three
miles the road, with high and rugged
sides, is only sufficient to admit the
passage Of single wagon at a time
] There is we are informed, no POSSIBLE
ty of turning it, and no mode Of attack,
except by a direct movement through
! the pass. If this really be SO, we should
think that, with ordinary science and
courage, il could be readily defended;
but we heard pretty much the same
story of Cerro Gordo; and we rather
think when the army comes to Rio Frio,
some other plan Of attack will be o
practicable than by marching through
asingle narrow gorge Of the mountain,
for two or three miles, under the fire
of an enemy IN the steep sides OF the
road. The pass is about SO miles from
the capital, and Rio Fro Gold river)
supplies the city with water"

Another Invalid restored 10 Health.
Tread the following statement offacts from Mr..
Eli Bailey, highly respectable merchant OF Wen
ma, Johnson county, Illinois
Messrs Phelps 81 Blakesley, StLouis. Ma,
GentIemen:-A desire ia benefit the afflicted
throughout the land has alone induced me ia make
the following statement of facts respecting one of
the most astonishing cures ever recurded: My sdn
now seventeen years aid, has been afflicted during
his whale life with a constant cough, pain in the
side and chest, accompanied with night sweats and
hectic fever, which produced great emaciatipn
and debility: and at intervals during the night his
expectoration would become SO great as to endan-
ger his life from strangulatian. During this time
he was attended by many physicians of the highest
repute, whose prescriptions gave but temporary
relief in fact, so alarming were the SYMPTOMS. and
so inveterate was his disease, than l was compel
led to believe him beyond the reach Of medical
aid.
All our neighbours wha saw him, regarded him
as one wha was rapidly approaching an early and
premature grave. After having thus exhausted
theiskill of BUR best physicians, without obtaining
relief, | was prevailed upon by the advice Of q
friend to make use Of Wistar's Bdisdm OF Wild
Cherry.
He comrnenced its use aboutths 3oth Of Decem-
Der, ls44, the FIRST bottle of which gave astoDish-
ing relief, and l begun again to indulge in the
fond hope that he might yet be restored TO health.
After having continued the use of il until three
bottles had poem taken, the disease was entirely
overcnme, and his shattered constitution and
emaciated form restored to sound and permanent
health, which he continues ia enjoy up to the pre-
sent time.
/ believe the GENTS, DR.. Wistar's Balsarh of
Wild Cherry, to be one Of the most valuable me-
dicines ever discovered-knowing, as ! do. that
the above cure was effected solely by it's use.
| am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant
April9 9. 1916. ELI BAILEY.
8G-Cures similar to the above are constantly
being performed in all parts ofthe country, and
we should indeed be destitute Of all feelings OF
humanity, did we not call upon oh who are afhict-
ed with pulmonary diseases to resort at once to
the use Of this, the only remedy that can be- relied
upon for a cure.
