never ordered, although be produced the
order in writing. He was told to sell
them. but that was impossible, as they
had the royal arms on them. He was

and export them. He did ship them and
had to pay export duty. The vessel was
then refused clearance, and the CARPETS

them At auction. A very low bidding
was made, and no advance followed: and

port duty he paid. But what became Of
the carpets They were actually bouc h,
at auction by one Of the kings agents.
against whom none dared to compete, and

which they had been fabricated. The
manufacturer complained to the British
Consul, who demand redress, but j,
was refused.
But since the fall OF Sebastopol the
King became frightened and has offered
pecunlary remune ration for his attempt.

tried, and used with the most powerful
effect, in the very worst cases Of measles,
coughs, h~oarseness, %whooping cough, con.
sumption, and all diseases of the lungs OF
long standing, and is no the most popu-
lar and beneficial medicine used for all
those diseases for which it is so highly rec
commended.
J. l.. Curtis Original Mamaluke, is now
acknowledged by all persons Of experience
as the best stimulant ever used, 70 the
cure of all those diseases for which il is so
highly recommended and in which it has
been so successfully used. 1t stands UNI
paralleled by any medicine ever offered 10
the public. A fresh supply of these med
icines has just been received by the agents.
Those persons who are not supplied had
better call On some agent and supply their

n The reason why the accident al
Burlington, N. j., was so fatal, is thus
explained. The passengers were. as II
they had been placed in a grea, mortar
the locomotive being the pes,le. The
destruction OF the cars was rendered
more complete because the track al the
epot where they ran off is laid in a cut
