ANNEXATION OF THE MosoUITo COUNTRY TO
SicARAouA.-By the arrival at Key West of the
steamship Star of the West, the Charleston
Courier has received dates from San Juan to the
18th tlt The Nicaragua Minister of Foreign
Relations had Issued the following decree:
The Supreme Erecut,re Porer to the People,
The title Of Nicaragua to the territory called
Mosquito, including the port of San Juan Del
Norte, being notorious aud incontestible:
And whereas, H. l.. Kinney. pretends, in vir-
tue of purchase from Shepherd & Haley, to be
owner of said territories, the government Of
this Republic, in the exercise of its faculties,
Decress.-The rights, which the said Kinney
pretends to claim in and upon the said territory,
are null and void, and no efect-the same be-
ing the property Of the Republic Of Nicaragua,
aud, consequently, every alienation made by the
said Kinney is also void.
Art. 2. The said Shepherd & Haley, and Kin
ney, and all other persons claiming this unaw-
full acquisition, are declared guilty of offending
against the integrity of Central America.
Art g. The Minister of Relations and the
Interior is charged with the publication, exc
cution and fulfilling of this decree.
Given in Grenada, Sth day Of February. 1856.
PATRICIo RIvAs
At about the time this decree was issued,
Col. Kinney visited Granada, for the purpose of
establishing an AMIGA BILE understanding between
himself and Gen. Walker, and even offered his
services to the Republic. The General told him,
however, that his antecedents precluded his
holding an official position in Nicaragua, and he
was soon after arrested as a prisoner to the
State He was afterwards released, and is said
to be on bis way to New Orleans.

NEGRO "ABsoRPT1oN."-I is frequently
charged against the South that mullattoisn is
carried on there to fearful extent. Indeed the
Tribune has had both the ignorance and audaci-
ty to declare that the time will probably come
when all will be white. The following from the
Concord Patriot, will, however, make them
scratch their heads:
The census Of 1850 shows, that while more
than one-fourth of the colored people of the
North are mulattoes, only thirteenth of the
slave population are mullattoes! Among the
3,204, 3l3 slaves, 246, $50 were mullattoes, or
had more or less white blood; while of the 1885,
OOO cOlored people Of the free States over So
500 are mullattoes In Ohio more than half
of the colored population are mullattoes or over
$4,000 out Of $4,000. In Indiana about 80 per
cent are mullattoes; in Wisconsin and Iowa,
over 81 per cent? In Illinoise, over IS per cent:
in Michigan, IS per cent. in New Hampshire,
81 per cent; in Maine 81 per cent; in Penn
sylvania, and Vermont, 40 per cent; in Massa-
chusetts, "a per cent: in Connecticut, 80 per
cent; in Rhode Island "A per cent; in New
York, 10 per cent; and in New Jersey, IS per
lattOes form Is per cent; of the whole number
of slaves, and in only three do they amount to
10 per cent.
Now it seems to US that it is disgrace to the
South that they have carried out Mr. Banks
absorption theory to such an extent that one
thirteenth of their slaves have white blood in
their veins, it is still greater disgrace to the
Northern people, that they have applied the
same theory SO far that more than one quarter
Of the negroes among them are white. And
we say further, that those among whom this in
famous amalgamaticn theory is so extensively
applied, and who justify it as do black republi-
cans in support Of Mr.. Banks, only add to their
shame by constantly talking about the sin of the
Southern people in this particular.

PREACHING THE GosPEL.-Dr. Sprague tells the
following annecdote of an evangelical clergyman of
the English Church, named Jones. The story was
given him by the Rev George Burder.
Mr. Jones had a college classmate who entered
the ministry at the same time with himself, but was
a mere man of the world and knew little and cared
nothing of the true gospel. This man, conversing
one day with Mr.. Jones' said to him, half loosely
half seriously:
"Why is it that you are sopopular as preacher,
and SO few come to hear me, when every body knows
that at the University was considered greatly
your superior?"
Why said Mr.. Jones, the reason is that preach
the gospel"
"The gospels? said the other; F" so do 1; almost
every text preach upon is from Matthew, Mark,
or John?"
Said Mr. Jones You may do that and yet
never preach Jesus Christ. ="
"WeL," said the other, lend me one of your
sermons and see what effect it will have"
He actually did lend him one, and he preached
it, as he had engaged to do, and as be was coming
out Of the church, at the close of the SERVICE be
was accosted by young man; who, in listening to
the borrowed discourse, had been thrown into a
state OF anxiety in respect to his salvation.
Says she minister, some what confused by the
strange result Of his preaching-"Wait, watt say
nothing about it till the congregation have gone
out"
After the congregation had retired, the anxious
inquirer began further to explain himself, when the
clergyman interrupted him by saying
g But what is the matter with you? see no occa-
sion for making yourself 80 unhappy"
matter" replied he, "why your preaching has
made me feel like condemned criminal, and fear
there is no mercy for me-"
"Well, really" said the minister, "I am very
sorry that have wounded your feeIings-I had no
his uncomfortable state, advice you to go and see
Mr. Jones'"

The great point in the treatment of all human
malades, is tO get at the disease in direct
manner. All medicines are estimated by their
action upon the organ requiring relief. This
is the important fact upon which inhalation is
based. If the stomach is diseased we take
medicines directly into the stomach. If the
lungs are diseased, breathe or inhale medicat0d
vapors into the lungs. Medicines are the
antidOtes to disease, and should be applied to
the very seat Of disease. Inhalation Is the an.
pliCBtiOn Of this principle to the treatment of
the lungs, for it gives us direct access TO those
intricate aircells and tubes which lie out of
