Anti NEnEarin Pills.

A SURE AND SAFE CURE FOR REMIT
"A tent and Intermittent Feyers. and also a
most ehectual cure for all the secondary dis
eases accompanying these fevers such as Liver
Complaint, Neural Sia, indigestion and Enlarpe-
ment OF the Spleen, or Ague Cake For inter
mittent Fever, or Fever and Ague, these pills
are undoubtedly the most effectual and safe re M,
edy in the krown world. They may be taken
at any stage Of the disease, as well in the cold
stage as in the hot. These pills not only stop
the Cliills and Fever, but they remove from the
system all secondary Affections which remain
after the use of other remedies, to reproduce
the disease again. In this respect we claim a
superiority over every other remedy which has
been offered to the public. There is paper
round each box. under the label, containing a
short history Of the causes of the fevers of this
country, and the effects and operation of the
remedy which we propose These pills are

The Birth of Green Erin.
By JOHN N. MOORE.

Wild all condescinsion
I'd call your attntion
To what would mintion Of Erin so green,
An without hesitation
I'll show how that nation
Became OF creation, the gem and the queen
1t happened wan morning,
Without any warnin,'
That Yayneous was born in the beautiful sky;
An by the same token,
An twas provokin,
Her pinions were soakin,' an wouldn't give
play.
So Neptune, who knew her.
Began to pursue her,
In order to WOO her, the wicked ould Jew;
An he very nigh caught her,
Atop of the wafer,
Great Jupiters daughter, who roared "puHa-
loo'
But Joye, the geat Jayneous.
Looked down an saw Vayneous,
And Neptune 50 hayneous, pursuin' her wild !;
SO he roared out in thunder,
He'd tear hum asunder,
An sure twas wonder, for taxing his child
SO a star that was flying
Around him, espying,
He seized without sighin', an hurled it below
Where it tumbled like winkin
While Neptune was sinkin,'
An gave him I'm thnkin', " broth OF blow:
An that star, sure, dry land
Both lowland an highland,
An formed sweet Island. the land of me birth
Thus plain is the story,
Kase sent down from glory,
That Erin so hoarys hcagea apon Earth

THE STAGE RoUTE.-After the passage of the
Nebraska Bill, Mr.. Benton, it may be remem-
bered stated that he gave up all hopes of the At
lantic and Pacific Railroad, for the present, and
that he would hereafter lend his efforts the con-
struction of a military wagon road, from the
Missouri frontier to California
1t is to be hoped that this measure will be car
ried through at the next session of the Congress.
The building of such road would very much ia
cilitate the railroad enterprise. Indeed there is
hardly any movement which would as much
conduce the building of the raiload as the com
plete successful operation of wagon road.
We can hardly hope, even if our Senator Gwin
designs to visit Washington next winter that he
will do anything for this enterprise. The wagon
road is proposed by Mr.. Benton, and that proba-
bly, would be sufficient reason for DR.. Gwin to
oppose it.
The remainder of the delegation may how
er, do much towards the success of the road 1t
is really time that some steps We're being taken
to connect California with the rest of the Union
In such way that we may not be cut off from
all communication in case of war with a strong
naval power-State Journal

The Ekian,at,, River.

Klamath river drains the northern portion OF
California, or nearly all Of Klamath, Trinity
and Siskiyou counties 1t extends from east to
west over four degrees Of longitude. The main
stream pursueS winding course for six han
dred miles. It's tributaries are Trinity, Salmon,
Scott and Shasta rivers; all from southerly di-
rection, running along the base of the Sskiyou
range OF mountains, which rise over the north
bank of the stream
The country drained by the Klamath has but
few vallies plains; and Of these, the Yreka
plain is the most important Hills and noun
tains are scattered without regularity. and lie III
romantic confusion. lnnumerable guches, ra-
vines, canons and creeks are the result OF this
disorder. and doubt whether the Father OF
Waters, the MisSssi ppi itself, counts more trib-
utarles than the Klamath.
Wherever dIlIgent search has been made on
this river, gold has been found, not only in the
stream, but in the banks on the bars, and on the
mountains as high hundred feet above the
river beds. Thus, from the very nature OF the
country, 1T may readily be supposed that the
placers on the Klamath are almost without num-
ber Some of the largest bars, being at the
same time of comparatively easy access, have
been worked for the last three years and with
considerable success. Still an uncounted num-
Der have never been sloughed over, because ap-
parently not rich or difficult of access But as
trails are opened, and facilities for communica-
ton with the coast increase, comparatively poor
or hitherto inaccessible bars can be worked to
a good advantage.
The miners in most localities on the Klamath
raise their own vegetables, and tile same sluice
which is built to wash cut the gold, is often used
for irrigating the potato patch. Fresh butter,
milk and eggs are no rarities with them. In the
gorges of those mountains are always patches
to be found admirably adapted to gardening,
and the difficulties of uettinu suDDies from the
coast at an early stage of mining, induced many
of the miners to raise some articles of food for
themselves This circumstance will not be with,
out many practical and lasting advantages for the
population on the klamath and its tributaries

They ever meet one with a smile and flatterne

freaks of millinery serve best to heghten the

subject they will put into practice Does any
one know why Young widows, if ct first pleas

= have not seen man partially intoxicated
since l have been in the city, of 400, 900 inhabi-
tants, and they say one may live here for years
without seeing one. All drink light wines; and
am not at all sure if Longworth, the Cincinnati
patron of vineyards, is not doing more in our
country for temperance than any temperance
lecturer in it."
The statement of Mr. Owen agrees with that
of almost every traveller through the vine grow
ing regions where light and pure wines are used
daily by the people. They have no desire for
the strong and fiery liquors which make the
drunk come" We have long believed that the
temperance which has spread so over the United

A GALLANT CoMBATANT.-The Constantinople
correspondent of the London Times gives the
following account of the last struggle of Lieut..
Burke, who fell at Ginrgevo:
Mr. Burkes body found after the action
in which he lest his life, with less than thir-
ty three wounds upon it. The Russians had ia
ken his sword belt, but his sword was found
hidden in some long grass close by the corpse.
The ring finger of both hands was cut off. He
was seen by the sapper who went with him,
fighting desperately to the last though surround
ed by a horde of Russians. When he first leaped
on shore from the boat six soldiers charged on
him. Two he shot down with his revolver, one
he cut down with his sword, and the rest turned
and fled. While he was encouraging the Turks,
who were in the stream, to row quietly to the
land, and forming them in line as they landed,
conspicuous as he was in full uniform, and by
bis white cap cover, number of ritemen adj
vanced from behind ditch, and took deliberate
aim at him. Poor Burke charged them with
headlong gallantry. As he got near, he was
struck by "a ball which broke his jaw bone; but
he rushed on, shot three men dead at close quar-
tiers, with his revolver, and cleft two men.
through the helmet and all, into the brain. He
was then surrounded and while engaged in cut
ting his way with heroic courage through the
ranks of the enemy a sabre cut from behind,
given by dragoon as he went by, nearly sew
cred his head from his body, and he fell dead,
covered with bayonet wounds. sabre gashes,
and marked with lance thrusts and bullet holes.
The sapper who was with him stood by Mr..
Burke to the last bur could not save him. He
is now only recovering from his wounds and the
effects OF his exertions.
