seRoYuLA.--It has been remarked by eminent
men, that in the varied catalogue Of disease to
which man is liable, there ia scarcely one ofsueh
Importance and Of such interest as ScrOfula,
whether We look to the obscurity Of its origin,
insidious progress, the number and variety of or
gans that it attacks, its remarkable incurabili-
ty, and extensive fatality
Scrofula has baffied the skill Of the most emf
ncnt physicians in this country and in Europe
But there is an antidote for this disease in "Dr.
GtYsoTT's ExTRAor OF willow Dock AND SAR-

the most severe cases of SerOfula.

ne" On the Sd of December, 1897,
Gen, Jackson transmitted challenge to
Gen. Scott, which the latter declined ac-
ccpting in a note dated the I'd of Janua
ny following. IfFrank Pierce had been
seized with ',tuiati@g' spell like that, the
wing prints would have called him an ar
rant coward. But some may say that
Gen. Scott is entitled to credit for decli-
ming challenge. We answer that he
would be, if he uniformly done so. But
it happens that some time after he had
declined Old Ilckory's invitation from
patriotic scruples' and "a sense of religion,
he himselt challenged De Wa C2imon =
Gen. jackson was soldier and II sure
shot Dc Witt Clinton rs Il civilian, and
had just taken OH oath, (ou being inau-
rated Governor of New York that he
would not be concerned, directly or indi-
rcctly, in any duel. 1t was patriotic
and religious to decline challenge
from Gen, jackson, who was ready to
tight ; but it was brave, to send one to
Gov. Clinton, who had sworn not to fight.
Well, men will faint sometimes. but they
don't sll faint from the SAME CAUSE
Pierce tainted from pain and exhaustion
Scott tainted either from patriotic scru-
pies or from fear of Old Hickory.

TIE VINO AND ADoHrIoNGsT LIBEL on
GENERAL PIERCE Observation-Disclosures
Weed, of tho Albany Evening Journal, so
long known as chief organ of Seward
ism in New York, refuses to join in the
abolitionist conspiracy against General
Pierce, The Journal, quoting from the
Utica Observer a notice of the Islander,
says:
1.-The Observer is right in pronouncing
tho story untrue, 1t has been contradict,
cd by General Pierce's personal and po-
litical friends who were present on the
occasion, and the denial published in the
Washington papers over the signature of
the locofoco senator and congressman
from New Hampshire. There can be no
doubt that the sentiments of opposition
to the law attributed to him were not
founded upon what he really said. The
'whig press so far as We have observed,
has endeavored to do him Justice, by
publishing the correspondence which pla.
ces him on record as the firm and devoted
friend Of the slave law"
In reply to the last three lines of thu
above, we would inquire of the Journa
whether it numbers the Rep"6ltc among
its wing exchanges ~ VASE Onion

Tax ExTRApITToN CAsE.-Among the
subjects most talked Of at present time, Is
an affair called in the newspaper notices,
the ExTRADITIoN OF KANE. Some of our
readers may not exactly understand what
this means, and we will endeayor to ex-
plain II in a few words. -sfgi.t. fr-s.,lt5
A clause in the last general settlement
of our ihydra-headed disputes with Eng.
land known as the AsHBURFoN Treaty,
declares that all offenders against the
laws OF England, who fly to this country.
shall be surrendered to the British police,
on their demand made according to GER
tain stipulated forms; and Vice Versa,t all
American offenders against the laws OF
the United States, who fly to England,
shall be surrendered by the English au'
thoritios wher we shall demand them
Under this clause Thomas KANE an Irish
man, who shot at with intent to kill an
English overseer, middle man or agent,
and fled to New York, is formally de-
mNnded by the English authorities. The
American Courts finding the demand in
order, and that the charge was supported
by n certain show of evidence, lave SUR
rendered KANE into the hands of the
British agents, But the foreign popula-
lion of New York do not understand this
supremacy of law over popular SEN
timent, They make much outcry over
the surrender of KANE. They contend-I
1st, that he did not shoot the Englishman;
Cd, that he did right to shoot him, They
delay the extradition of Mr.. KAINE by ev-
ry imaginable appeal to the haJcas corpus,
and vary his passage backwards and for
wards between the COURTHOUSE and the
Jail by immense mobs and rows. Full
accounts of these things, the reader will
find elsewhere in to-dNy's paper, There
is little doubt but that KANE will finally
so back to Ireland and take his trial. 1t
is bad clause in II bad treaty but it is
the law, and we have no doubt but that it
will be carried out in good fOith.-Rich,
Examiner.

TREASURE IN NEW JERsEY.-ThG Mount
Holly Mirror tells an almost incredible
story, that some of Capt. Kidd's treasure
has been found among the Pines, and that
the occupants of that region are in state
of intense excitement. A man dreamed
for several nights successfully that he
should find this treasure. the place to be
indicated by four iron bars projecting from
the earth. He went and found his dream
realized, Two hundred and forty thou
sand dollars had been discovered up to
Monday night, buried in iron chests, and
the people have turned out with their
pickaxes in further search for the treasure.

ERs. The tobacco manufactures of Lynch
burg, Va, have called a convention of all
the manufacturers of the article in that
State. and Of all the agents throughout
the United States, to assemble at Rich
mond ON some day notyet designated, to
consider the propriety of suspending ope-
rations during the winter months--that is,
that no tobacco shall be put up for mar
ket during the months Of January, Febru-
AIRY and March. 1t is contended that un-
der the system now pursued the tobacco
putt during those months is forced on
the northern markets in April and May,
and must either be sold at a sacrafce, or
held over until fall, when it becomes
mouldy, and unfit for chewing purposes.

era had recently occurred in that city
Much excitement is said to have pre-
vailed recently at Louisville, upon the ar
rival the of steamer Asia, from Pittsburg,
with a number of deck passengers from
st. Louis, among whom the cholera was
raging. Two or three deaths occurred,
and i've or six were taken from the boat
to the Louisville Hospital, some two OF
more in a collapsed state.
In various towns on the Missouri river
where cases of cholera had lately occurred
there was no sickness of any kind.

INsuRnEcr1oN IN GREEcE,-The follow

dated June, 10th, 1889 Another insur-
rection has broken out in the Morea,
which threatens to spread rapidly and
give some trouble to this government if
not to Europe, from the spirit of religion
it involves. 1t is headed by priests, who
wander up and down the country, preach
ing vehement doctrines, and exciting the
Greeks agains King Ohio and his govern
ment, declaring that as he is actually a
Roman Catholic, therefore he must natu-
rally be an enemy to the Greek Church
and doctrine and should he not consent
at once to be baptized according to the
rites of of their church, they will not lay
down their arms until they have dethron-
ed him. These priests are led by one
Papa Cristoforo, who, with their follow
ers, already amount to upwards of 1000
men, They have hitherto dcfed all the
attemps of the government to put them
down. Rumor says that Russian agents
arc at the bottom of it all.

I The NATIONAL DEMocRAT,', gives u.
the following outline ofJohn Van Buren's
speech at Tammany Hall. 1t will be
seen that Free Soilism run out, and that
hereafter he is to speak and lead as the
defender of the Fugitive Slave Law: "a
h"John Van Buren,, Esq, said in sub
stance, that the platform of the Baltimore
Convention had sufficient limit for him to
stand upon---that the great bone Of con-
tention which had been so long chewed
upon by both the North and the South,
had been sufficiently gnawed for the pre-
sent and that, a fugitive slave law was
now portion of the statutory enactments
of the land, it behooved all good citizens
to await its operation, and faithfully car
ry out its provisions. He pledges him
self to advocate this settlement, in the
campaign now commenced through all the
districts which he intended to visit
through New York---through Massachu-
sets and the Western Reserve, and pre-
dicted a great and browning triumph in
November, for the nominees Of the Demo
cracy. Mr., Van Buren's speech was lis
tened to with intense interest, and his
remarks were repeatedly cheered."

WHO WoN THE BATTLE OF LUNDY's

Scottitcs, for Gen. Scott, as the hero of
Lundy's Lane, induces us to publish a lit.
tic anccdotc, which the eXpeditionists to
the Niagara meeting had better tell to
one another, and thus brush up little
of genuine history:
f" Gen. Jacob Brown commanded at the
battle of Lundy's Lane, and as the battle
grew desperate, asked the late Col. Miller,
of New Hampshire, il he could storm the
British battery on the height. "Pll try,
sir" said Miller, and he did it with a
fearful loss 20 his regiment. The British
guns were turned upon themselves, the
Americans held the position against the
desperate charge of General Drummond
to rotake it, and this was the work thai
| saved us from disastrous defeat. Tho
decd of Miller and hismo is us immorta
as his laconic reply to Brown"
Don't forget, then, who commanded
at Lundy's Lane, and who won the bat
