IMPORTANT TO FEMALEs--Dr. CHEESEMAN'S
PLLs.--The combinations OF ingredients III
these Pills, is tie result of long and ex-
tonslve practice; they are mild in their oper.
atior, and certain in restoring natuee TO it's
proper channel In every instance have the
pills proved successful. The Pills invarla-
bly open those obstru ciions 10 which females
are liable, and bring nature into It's proper
channel, whereby haath is restored, and the
pale and deadly countenance changed TO a
healthy one, No female can enjoy good
health unless she is egulai and whenever
an obst ruction takes place, whether from ex-
posure, cold, or any other cause, the general
health Immediately begins to decline, and the
want of such remedy has been the cause OF
so many consumptions among young female.
TO ladies whose health will not permit an in
crease Of their family, these Pills will prove
valuable acquisition, as they will prevent
pregnancy. Headache, pain in the side, pal.
pitation of the heart, loathing Of food, and
disturbed sleep do mos, ALWAYS arise from the
int eruption of nature; and whenever that is
the case, the Pills will invariably remedy all
these evils. Nor are they less ellicacious in
the cure Of Leucorrhoea, commonly called the
Whites" These Pills should never be ta j.
k en- during preg nancy, as they would be sure
to cause miscarriage. Warranted to be purely
Vegetable, and free from anything injurious TO
life or health. Full and explicit directions
accompany each box.
These Pills are put up in square fiat boxes.

Most Important TO the Ladies.

DR.. GEIssNER's Celebrated Menstrual Pills
have been long and widely known as invari-
ably certain in removing any stoppage, nres-
ularity, or suppression OF the menses.
In the female hospitals in Vienna, Paris,
and Berlin, they have entirely superseded the
use of. all olher remedies; because, where a
cure is aitainable by medicinal agencies,
they are certain of success. Their astonish-
ing efficacy would be almost incredible, if
not vouched for by indubable testimony, in
numerous instances producing returns OF the
monthly period alter all hope had been aban-
doned.
In every case, from whatever cause the OBJ

Tarring and Feathering.

One such Southern paper as the Richmond
(Va.,) Examiner, inficts more injury upon the
pro-slavery cause than hundred open aboli-
tioR sheets could do. Here is paragraph
from late number of the Examiner:
''The South is celebrating upon the policy
of retaliating upon the North. 1t would seem,
alas, much wiser recourse to begin her work
at home. The most efficacious legislation for
the evils which affiict and threaten her, would
be an act making it LAWFUL for the people to tar
and feather every man aolto should utter or pub
Hsh words Of eulogy upon the Union, from the
present time until the final settlement of our
difficulties with the North; not that such lau-
dations are mala in Sc, but that the public safe
ty demands that, for the nonce, the months of
traitors, toadies, and jackasses, should be ST.
fenced, in spite of themselves
The man who wrote that, ought to live in
Missouri close to the borders of Kansas. He
would have made first rate member OF the
late Kansas Legislature, and no doubt would
have heartily co-operated in passing the law
against free-speech in that territory. 1t isa
greet pity, however, that he lives in the Union
at all We don't think he is precisely fit for
Republicanism yet.

Railroad to the River.

BY the proceedings ofthe City Council as
published yesterday, it will be seen that Mr.
Rathbone offered petition, signed by nearly
fifty interested citizens praying right of way
to the E. & G. Railroad, for a track on Locust
street extending from the depot to the river.
This petition was laid on the table. The OBJ
ject of laying it On the table week was mere
ly to give time for any circumstances, If any
such could be offered so that in the event of
the granting such right, it might not be said no
opportunity had been afforded for investigation
and remonstrance. We have on several oc-
casions advocated the laying of a track from
the railroad to the river, and in these articles
given, as we thought, conclusive reasons for
such policy. We have no doubt that this
connection with the river will obviate entirely
one expense in the transhipment of freight
and be a great assistance to the business of the
road generally. We hope the right of way
will be at once granted, believing there can be
no serious objections to such action.

Robbery Extraordinary.
Republicanism

A case of theft has recently come to our
knowledge which most forclbly illustrates the
inefficiency of our present police system. A
gentleman who paysa most as much in annual
taxes as any other citizen, recently had ta00
frame dloel25ng houses stolen from off his premi-
ses, Nos. 1O2 and 104, Thompson street. The
houses were two story frame houses, old build
ings, but good enough for common and cheap
tenements, and would have rented for one
hundred and fifty or two hundred dollars per
annum each. Not stick nor remnant is left
upon the lots How two houses could be car
ried off in this manner, and the police, the
efficient and vigilant police not know, is in
deed mystery. 1t may not appear strange,
however, when the fact is known, that it is in
Capt. Turnbulls own district. Such property
should not be left out of DOORS ~ 7. TIib.
That thief was relative of the fellow that
stole mill, and got caught going back after
the dam.

Shysters.

The New York Times, in the paragraphs
quoted below, tells US what ''Shysters' are.
The description, with some notifications will
suit the class Of calaboose providers in this
city. In justice to ST. Louis "Shysters'' how
ever we must say that they are not quite so
hard set as their New York brethren, though
they are a promising corps of rascals, and
sometimes perform feats that would do credit
to Gotham proficient Says the Times:
There are a gang of worthless fellows hang
ing about the police courts, practicing therein
though without having been admitted to the
bar. They are ex-polcemen, ex-turnkeys, ex-
sheriffs' officers, ex-anything, in word, if
that anything shall have procured them some
experience of criminal courts and cases.
These worthless have won for themselves the
elegant title Of "Shysters,'' term completely
untranslatable, but signifying to the Toutonic
mind whatever is basest meanest, vilest in
humanity. We are not quite sure of the
technology of the word shyster but the thing
itself is peculiar to all large cities though the
shyster system, we imagine, thrives more
rarely here than elsewhere.
Their profession is thus exercised A man
or woman, of the poorer classes, is arrested for
drunkenness, for riot, for anything truly or
falsely charged against him; is committed for
examination and locked up in cell. Then
through bars or keyhole, one of these shyster
leeches squirms in and begins to suck the
blood from his veins. First he discovers
whether the prisoner has money, or friends
who have it for him; or if no money, if he
have watch, or can get any jewelry from his
wife or daughter; and this once gotten, dis
charge is promised, and oftentimes obtained.
Sometimes this is done before continent,
which the poor devil is told must unavoidably
occur if he do not find something to satisfy
the hungry nav of the shyster The latter
will accept anything coin, clothing the best
bonnet or wedding ring of the woman, mans
tool-chest, or his Sunday boots.
