terprise was bound from Callao to Queens
town, and left the former place, loaded with
guano, on the Goth of May. On the 25th of
July she encountered heavy weather, which
carried away her rudder, and otherwise so
damaged her stern that she leaked to such IA
degree that it was found necessary to aban-
don her the next day. Accordingly, the
whole of the crew and passengers took to the
long boat, with the intention Of reaching
Monte Video, 500 miles distant. During this
perilous voyage, in crazy boat, Mrs.
Gardner was safely delivered of daughter,
under circumstances of extraordinary priya-
tion and hardship, which continued without

period these unfortunate people were ex-
posed to tempestuous weather, cold and wet,

1t might call itself " American" in name,
but it was essentially un- American in form.
in spirit and in operation. The two first re-
quisites in the movement of IA republican GOV
crumcnt are freedom of yolition and publicity
of action, and it was by the direct c6ntrayen-
ton of these that the Order undertook to
succed.-know Nothingism could not remain
popular Every election through the present
year, has shown most unmstakably that
it has forfeited public confidence. All sec
tions alike repudiate it. At the W est it has
hardly dared as yet to show its head In the
South, in spite of its appeal to sectional jea
lousy by holding out the prospect of iniuring
the North by cutting down the immigration,
which has So much promoted the growth of
the North, it has heen beaten by overwhelm-
ing lnalorltics, in spit of having enlisted
into its service almost the entire body of
the old Wing party, And at the North
where the evil effects of our present system
of naturalization have been the most felt
the Order has nowhere achieved an indepen-
dent victory, and the latest elections have
shown that it is not only impotcnt itself, but
that all alliance with it is fatal In the only
two important contests which are now going
ON, those of New York and Massachusetts, it
is compelled 10 fight alone and unaided with
out the slightest reasonable hope of success.
Nowhere is there chance OF its retrieving
itself

This article is now prescribed br some Of the
most distinguished physicians in the country, and
has proved more efficient in practice than any
preparation OF Sarsaparilla yet offered to the
public. Several cases Of secondary Syphilis,
Merculal and Scrofulous diseases have entirely
recovered in the incurablo wards Of our Public
Institutions which had for many years resisted
every mode of treatment that could be devised.
These cases furnish striking examples Of the sal
utary effects Of this medicine in arresting some
Of the most inveterate diseases. after the glands
were destroyed, and the bones already affecsed.
