Many years of trial, instead of impairing the
confidence in this medicine, has won for
il an appreciation and notoriety by far exceeding
the most ~sanguine expectations OF Its trends
Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and the unH lsta-
kable benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers,
could originate and maintain the reputation II en-
Joys. While many interior remedies thrust up
on the community, have failed and been dlscar-
ded, this has gained friends by every trial, con-
ferred benefits on the afflicted they can never for
get, and produced cures too numerous and too re-
nlarkable to be forgotten.
While il is a fraud on the public to pretend that
any one medicine will infallibly cure-stlll there
is abundant proof that the CHERRY PICTORIAL
| does not only as general thing, but almos inva :
riably. cure the maladies for which It IS employ
ed.
AS time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance of the afflicted, from the loG-cabln OF
the American peasant, to the palaces OF European
Kings. Throughout this entire country, IN every
State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet II
contains, CHERRY PICTORIAL is known as the
best remedy extant for disease Of the Throat and
Lungs, and in many foreign countries, it IS com
ing to be extensively used by their most lntelll
gent PHYSICIANS. In Great B rltlan, France and
Germany. where the medical salenees have reach
ed their highest perfection, CHERRY PECToRAI
is introduced, and in constant use IN the Armies
Hospitals, Aims Houses, Pubic institutions, ant
in domestic practice, as the surest remedy thel
attending Physicians can employ for the more
dangerous affections of the lungs. Also IN mllde
cases, and for children it is safe, pleasant, ant
~effectual to cure. In fact, some OF the most HAT
, tering testimonials we receive have been iron
parents who have found it etficacious III case
particularly incidental to childhood.
The CHERRY PICTORIAL is manufactured b
a practical Chemist, and every ounce of it unde
his own eye, with invariable accuracy and care
1t is sealed and protected by law from counter
feits, consequently can be relied on as genuln
, without adulteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the con
e munity with a medicine of such intrinsic superior
6 ity and worth as should commend itself TO the
, confidence-a remedy at once safe, speedy an
: efectual, which this has by repeated and coun
S less trials proved itself to be, and trust by gle;
care in preparing it with chemical accuracy
4 uniform strength to afford Physicians a new age
on which they can rely for the best results, an
the afflicted with a remedy that will do for thel
: all that medicine can do.

TIE WORLDS WAYs.-A poor woman,
aged, d~ecrepid, broken down and shattered
in mind and body by fortunes adverse
freaks, has been rowing througAtreets
for several days past, an object Of pity with
those whose hearts are not of the cold world
making, and Of disgust with such as never
felt the grip of want s feShless fnges-such
as never look into the darkness that sur
rounds the light of their own worldly ease
That poor woman was once. in afiuence.-
The flashing satin shone upon the form where
those tattered rags now hang an unshapely
mass, and those eyes, now bleared and
dlmmed by the stealing encroachments of
age and reckless vice, once won the sonnet
from the admiring swain, and awoke the am
bition of youthful rivalry to even the death
test of arms in the field of honor,.-That
repulsive mass, of unsightly flesh and filthy
rags-that lettering old mendicant that the
children boot, and half the people shun-
that wrinkled hagling, who seems a sort Of
ugly compromise between a useless life and

THE LOCOMOTIVE PRED1cTED IN Scrip
ruRE.-In the 9th Chapter, 18th verse, of
the Apocalypse, supposed to Be prophecies
of things to come, is the following vision of
the locomotive, or iron horse :"-"And
then l saw the horses in the vision and the
heads of the horses were as heads of lions ;
and from their mouths proceeded fire, and
smoke, and birthstone" and in the next
verse it is said that the tails of the horses
are like serpents." Any one who has seen
a locomotive belching forth its fras and sui
phurous smoke with a train of cas- nearly a
half a mile long, winding around the hills,
will see how remarkably opposite is this de,
scription. In the book Of Nahum, second
chapter, fourth verse, is the following Ian.
guage which applies with great force to the
railroad operations of the present day. "The
chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall
jostle one against another in the bFoadways
they shall seem like torches they shall rur
like the Eghtning."

LOSSES BY RELIGION.

Near Lon don there dwelt an aged couple.
In early life they had been poor but the
husband became a Christian, and God
blessed their industry, and they we're living
in a comfortable retirement, when one day a
stranger called on them to ask their sub
s~cription to a charity. The old lady had
less religion than her husband. and still
hankered after some of the Sabbath earnings
and easy shillings which Thomas had for
feited from regard to the law Of God. So
when the visitor asked their contributions
she interposed, and said, why sir, we have
lost a deal by religion since we first began !;
my husband knows that very well. Have
we not, Thomas?
After a solemn pause, Thomas answered,
Yes, Mary, we have, Before I got reli-
gion Mary, [ had an old slouched hat, a
tattered coat. and mended shoes and stock
ings; but | have lost them long ago. And
Mary, you know that, poor as I was, | had
a habit of getting drunk and quarrellin9witf
you and that you know I have lost.a And
then [ had burdeued conscience and g
wicked heart, and ten thousand guilty fears
but all are lost, completely lost, and ike :
mill stone, cast into the deepest sea. And
Mary, you have been a loser too. though
not so great a loser as myseEBefore ",
got religion, Mary, we had a Washtray, il
which you washed for hire but since thel
you have lost your w~ashing-tray. And yo
had a gown and a bonnet much the wors
for wear but you have lost them long age
And you had manyan aching heart concern
ing me at times; but these you have happil
lost. And [ could, even wish that you ha
lost as much as [ have lost for what W
lose for religion will be an everlasting gain
The inventory Of losses by religion rur
thus a bad character ; a guilty conscience
a troublesome tempter; sundry evil habit
and a set of evil companions.
The inventory of blessings gained by II
ligion includes all that is worth having
time and eternity.AAmerican Mess.

European journalism.

We had thought tha. Americans were far
ahead OF their transatlantic leighbors in the
variety which their newspapers afford their
readers, as well as in the number of their
Journals. But the following items, copied
from the Lcipsigsr Tagsblatt, demonstrate
that the press Of the Fatherland is notch or
two ahead of that Of progressive Yankeedom:

Impositions upon CaI,fornians.

A week or two since, in the Supreme Court
of New York, decision was given in case
in which Blinn s. Sill was plaintiff and Mar
shall 0. Roberts delendent. The suit was
brought to recover damages for failure to
furnish suitable fare and Accommodations to
the plaintiff, who was passenger to Califor-
MIA On the George Law Line of Boats, Of
which Roberts is the legal representative
The testimony in the case goes to show
that the number of passengers was so great
that all had not room in stormy wealth
er when they could not be on deck TO sit OF
lay down; that the food was musty sea bis
cult, rotten potatoes and putrid beef; that
the most unwholesome atmosphere peryaded
the crowded fourth deck Of the boat (0hio,) }
that the births weredirty and without blan-
kets or sheets; and That there was no venti-
lators except the hatch. Imagine five hum
dred or more passengers on such boat at sea
under such circumstances and to us landsmen
the case looks bad enough, but not SO much
SO as it reallyis. All this was between New
York and Chagres. When plaintiff, who had
ticket for the third voyage Of the steamer
Isthmus, arrived at Panama, he found that so
far from that boat being ready, she had not
started on her second voyage; that he staid
there from the 18th of June until the 25th of
July; after spending all his money, was
obliged to sell his passage ticket for food /;
and returned home out of health, and out of
pocket 5000 dollars. The court reported in
favor Of the plaintiff damages 81 1900. We
see thata bill has been reported in Congress
to regulate the number of passengers carried
by ships and ocean steamers and compelling
the owners Of packets to furnish good and
sufficient food to passengers, under heavy
penalties. The bill will doubtless pass, as
loud complaints have been made by Califor-
mans and others crossing to the Isthmus, OF
the miserable accommodations aboard the
steamers in that trade.

The Flag remarks that the foregoing
facts present one feature that is entirely new
in modern warfare, viz that both The ,ictors
and The eanquished ran from each other.-
That paper, however, thus explains the
movement:

he drew his men off 10 induce Carayaial 10
advance from sheltered position which he
occupied, andIIom which it was found diff

was mere military maneuvre, while the
other side represent il as hasty and preci2-
itaic retreat. How this may be, we will
moi undertake to give an opipion. Butone
thing is beyond controversy, viz: that an
engagement was had, and that the Mexican
forces remain on the ground, having taken
all the spoiis of war which belonged to the
camp of their adversaries, while Caraysisl
and his forres-rerrossed The river, and have
withdrawn from the contest. thus leaving
Canales in possession of the battle ground
and the camp. Many Of the prominen.
leaders in this battle came down here on the

Ennmelling Daguerrootypes.

A new and successful. me thod of enamel
ling daguerreotypes has just been discovered
by Mr., R. Beard, which will no doubt prove
the mestjmporiapt Of the many improve
ments that have been made 10 this simple
vet wonderful ant. Some OF the earliest
specimens of the process, it is well known,
had ghostly appearance; positively repul-
sive 10 The beholder. BY degrees, however,
Improvements have been added, coioring,
&C., introduced, until the invention began

artist cannot approach, much less rival. the

Gulness, and some improvement was only
required to give the pictures that richness OF
tone and lite-like appearance hitherto pecu-
liar to an oil painting. Itappears that this
desirable end has at length been attained BY
the process OF enameling. Scarcely the
eighth part Of minute is occupied In Ia
king likeness by the process; it therefore
follows, that every expression, look, or mo-
mentary smile, must be caught with fidel-
ity otherwise unattaiuable, and by enamel
ling with an effect at once pleasing and
startling. The effect Of the new process has
excited the admiration of many thousands
of individuals who have vested the daguer-

PRoposEp New STATE. The Legislature
Of Wisconsin are deliberaiing upon memo
rial to Congress for territory comprising
that portion Of Wisconsin lying north Of the
forty fifth degree of north latitude, and that
portion of Michigan lying west of Lake
Michigan. This territory, il is alleged, is
very much isolated from the States to which
il is attached, and has separate and indlyid-
ual interests peculiarly its own, which, under
the present organization. do not receive the
fostering care of its several Governments,
which the best interests OF the country re-
quire. The separation Of that territory, it is
thought, would result In no disadvantage to
the States from which il is proposed TO de-
tach it, which would not be more than COM
pensated by the augmented commercial and
political advantages Of adding another State
TO the Northwest.
