WHO SHALL RUN THE TRAIN!

The affective accident upon the Hudson
River Railroad mpels all men TO examine the
conditions under which they travel by rail,
and to reach out even at random for new

The analogy furnished by a man of war
presents the argument in favor of investing
the engineer with this authority in a compact

money, lives below deck,an is properly reiev.

@ y: !; ''!';;| PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES ORA
FAMILY PHYSIC.

THERE has long existed public demand for an
effective purgatve pill which could be relied on a.
sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This has
been prepared to meet that demand, and an extern
sivc trial of its virtues has conclusvely shown with
what it accomplishcs the purpose designed.
1t is easy to make physical pill, but not easy to
make the best of all pills one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages, Of
every other This has been attempted here, and
with what success we would respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Many of them produce so much
gripping pain and rcvulsion in the system to
than countcrbalance the good to be derived from
them. These pills produce no irritation pain,
unless it arise from previously existing obstruc-
ton arrangement in the bowels. Being purely
vegetable no harm arise from their use in any
quantity but il is better that any medicine should
Sc taken judiciously. Minute directions for their
usc in the several diseases to which they are APP
plicable are given on the box. Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of Jaundioe, Indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Listossness, 1rritability, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain in the Side
and Lons for, in truth, all these but the con-
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an
apcrient, they afford prompt and relief in Cos
tyeness, Piles, Collie, Dysentery, Humors. Scrof-
ula and Seurvy, Colds with soreness Of the body,
Ulcers and impurity of the blood in short, any
and every case where purgative is required.
They have also produced some singularly sue
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Govt Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipelas, Paptation OF the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach and Side. They should be freely
taken in the spring of the year, TO purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tte and vigor They purify the blood and, by their
stimulant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body and restore tho
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.

though no serious arrangement exists; but I'M
necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
as every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand cases in which
physc is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the reason of every
body and it is confidently believed this pill will
answer better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind When their
virtues are once known, the public will no longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need Of
cathartc medicine.

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi.
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the of its cures,
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known. who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
every other medicine of its kind is too appar-
ent to escape observation and where its virtues are
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
~ our climate. And not only in formidable At.
tacks u m the lungs, but for the mlder varieties
of Colds, CoUGHs, HoARsENEss, Sc, ; and for
CHILDREN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine
that can be obtained.
As it has lory been in constant use throughout
this section, we need not do more than assure the
people its quality is kept up to the best that it ever
has been. and that the genuine article is sold by

FLLlBUsTERING.-1'ne Richmond Exam
liner takes strong ground in favor of the
movements of Walker in Nicaragua, and
justiies his course by examples from ancien,
and modern history. 1t says:
"John Smith and his Jamestown colonists
were flibusters in precisely the sane sense
ns Walker and Kinney. The Mayllowcr
was us much u lilliustcring craft us the
steamer which carried Lopez to Cuba. Every
foot of Territory which we possess has been
wrested from the abOriginc> by worse crimes
than that of Walker. Texas was thenchieve-
mcnt of fllibu~ierism, and 80 were Ca'or.
MIA and our vast possessions south and east
of that golden region. All history, ancient
and modern, sacred and proiunc, is full of

liinster captains. Alexander and Cyrus,
| whom in youth we are instructed TO admire
among the gre ,test of men, were bod, m.
scrupulous hllibustcrs--and poor Alexander
wrpt when he had reached the end of his fiji
libu>tering tether. Rome, upon whose his
tory the youthful mind n made to occupy its
admiration To the exclusion of almost all
other studies, cherished md honored ilIipus-
t4rng as her leading, primary policy Cesar
the Great devoted his admirable Commerti,-
ries almost exclusively to the heroic filibus.
tcrng exploits. William the Conquercr was
the prototype of modern tillihusters; and the
royalty and mobility of England glory in the
inheritance of his filliLustcring blood. And
Charlamagne, Charles w., Gustavus Adol,
phus, Charles Kill, Napoleon J., (Not to
mention Napoleon llI.)-what were all these
but tillibusters in the precise sense in which
is Walker, the conqneror of Nicaragun!-
