lained the highest point of convenience,

for the sale Of the celebrated Hoofand's

the rear 50 admirably arranged for clerks,
cashier, book.keeper, ETC., etc., that we
thought we were going into bank, with
at least a million of capital. The front
saloon is laid with alternate squares oi
white and black marble, and the walls are
richly frescoed, and highly decorated in
white and tinted arabesque. The col
umns of Sienna marble, supporting The
central arch, are admirably wrought
Indeed, the whole building, inside and
out, is a noble illustration of the taste and
skill of American workmanship, and re-
fleets the greatest credit upon the public
spirit of the proprietor. We deem espe'
cially worthy Of notice and commendatior
all such efforts TO embellish our cities
with elegant buildings, and to relieve the
dull monolony of trade and professional
life, by providing it with hsbitations light

The MATTER PLAINLY PUT.-The
Baltimore Clipper thus plainly puts the
foreign pauper and convict question:
"Suppose that we were to try the ex-
pertinent Of sending our paupers to Eu'
rope; is there a single European govern
ment which would consent 10 receive
them! Not one. They would not be
permitted to land; and the captains Of
American vessels carrying them would
be compelled to bring them back, if they
were not punished for the act of taking
them there. But we have not the courage
to say to these powers that ,hsy shall moi
send their paupers and convicls here
On the contrary, we have received them
with welcome that has no doubt impres
sed European powers with the conviclior
that we rejoiced at such an accession o

DR.. ]. G. Jackson Dear Sir-The
Bitters are in great demand here. In addi-
ton to the quantity sold by Maxley & Bar
Der, your agents, the two other stores sell
more than any other medicine. ] find they
are much used by convalescent fever pa
tients to rebuild their broken constitutions.
| have used during the last summer, in my
own family, four bottles. They were re-
commended to me first by neighbor, at
time when my system was much debilita-
ted from the effects of severe Bilious
Fever. They gave me an appetite; resto-
red tone and vigor to my whole system.
In one of the September numbers of my
paper, l related my experience of the good
effects Of the Bitters, since which time
they have had large sale, and have now
become the standard medicine in this vi
cinity.
In conclusion, I would say that feel
great pleasure in giving you this tostimo-
ny of the value and success of your prep
aration. Respectfully, yours,
