TIE CHARLOTTE MINT The papers and people
Of This State, but especially of the Western
portion Of it, are justly excited against the recon-
suppression of the mint at Charlotte, which is now
the only one By which any considerable amount of
bullion mined east of the Rocky Mountains is coin
ed. The tendency is to centralze every thing in
New York, and even the petty expenditure necessary
for the maintenance of mint for the convenience
ami prosperity OF important interest in Western
Carolina is begrudged, while mllons are spent In
building up monopolies at the North. We know how
sensibIy the loss of the mint would be felt by our

SCARCITY OF COTTON. The Paris correspondent
of the Times says:
Cotton has become so scarce in Havre that the
of Rouen have been compelled to pur-
chase that article in Liverpool; and the Minister Of
the Interior, in order to relieve them from the add-
.onal duty to which cotton imported from Eng land
is subject has given orders that the shipping of the
United States shall be admitted into French ports
without the payment of additional duty. though they
NAV have touched at English port. provided they
shall not have landed their cargoes while stopping
there"

apart for the consideration of private bills, he would
move that the further consideration of the subject

SUPERIORITY OF FRENCH RIFLES. Sir Charles
Shaw, in letter published in the London Times,
calls attention the great superiority of the rifles
used with such terrible effect by the Tirailleurs de
Vincenns in the recent Algerian war, and suggests
by the British troops against the Kafirs. The in
venton has, since 1916, been considerably improved,
and, instead of being effectual at Csc yards,
engrafted upon NJ. Delvgne's invention by Capt
MIME, as precise firing be done at 1900 yards.
At the distance of 765 yards the rife would, to a
certainty, knock down life-guardsman in spite OF
his cuirdss, and a front of at 100 yards. BY
the adoption of this destructive machine, Sir Charles
argues that the Kairs may be shot far more eeetu-
ally, and far economically, than they possibly
can be by the present muskets. Boston Post.

ration that has power to restore "lhsEN-
sIBLE PERsPIRATIoN." The skin being
the medium through which the blood
drives off its impurities, is often locked
up BY cold, whence occur RHEUMATISM,
Group, Coughs, Colds, Headache, Fevers,
and a thousand other complaints. Un-
stop the pores, and permit the humors TO
pass out, and all these diseases vanish at
once. This McAlister's Healing
Ointment effects. For instance, in sick
and nervous headache, this Ointment is a
sovereign remedy.
It has cured cases of FIVE, seven and
ten years standing, some of fifteen and
twenty years, ard a case Of FORTY YEARS
standing. II is beyond all peradventure
the best remedy foi headache in the
world.
Ear-ache, deafness and dizziness cured
with equal success.
Take again the Quinsy Sore Throat.
One nights application is frequently suf-
ficient to cure this complaint. But in no
case will it fail. We challenge the
world on this point.
RHEuMATIsM.-In all cases Of swelled
limbs, contracted cords, pains and violent
Inflammation, there is no remedy so good. /.
we don't care what it is, or where il
comes from. Herein this Ointment is
to be found certain remedy for rheums-
tism. Let the sufferer look to it.
Asthma, oppression of breathing, &c
In no class of difficulties does the oinl-
ment give greater satisfaction. The
heavy load upon the heart and difficult
respiration it removes almost in a day.
Wonderful, wonderful. IS the virtue, the
untold power and goodness of the ALL
Healing Ointment.
In Hemerrhoids or piles, we have been
repeatedly told that it was the only arli
Gle ever made that would cure all cases
of piles. And we are ready 10 believe
it.
The Erysipelas and Salt Rheum are
overcome without the least difficulty.
Liver complaint we have cured of TWEEN
ty years standing, and we hesitate not
to say that /: is one of the best remedies
known. Persons would be aslanished to
witness its effect.
Besides all the above diseases, it is a sover-
eign remedy for all eruptions Of the skin, sores,
pustules, blotehes, &c, rendering the face
smooth and forever free from blemish. In all
cases Of inhammations, swellings, cuts, bruises,
and poisonous wounds, IL is a noble remedy.
And as for burns there is not its equal in the
land. To allay pain, and remove the fire and
inflammation, there is no compound in exis-
tenee of such value. Besides il heals the
place without leaving the slightest mark be-
hind. Equally valuable is it for old ulcer sores,
and especially sore eyes, scald head. and disea-
ses Of the spine. and Of the nerves; also SWELL
ed or sore breasts, and female complaints. 1t
is also a sovereign remedy for ague in the face,
and influenza. 1t is truly one Of the safest
and most valuable medicines the world ever
saw. No man regrets purchasing this Oint-
ment, because ne feels he will be benefited and
not deceived. Good always comes from its
use. Let the people then seek this medicine
and abide by 1t. for it never deceived any body
yet, and we believe never will.
