F1FTY YEARS HEEcE-Rt. Rev, Bishop
Clarke delivered a lecture in Cambridge on
Tuesday evening Of last week, taking for his
subject "Fifty Years Hence" From a sketch
in the Cambridge Chronicle, we take the fol-
lowing extracts:
"Fifty years hence, The married people will
step into an emporium for the sale OF houses,
look over the book of patterns, select one to
auit their taste and means, order it, and it will
be seat home 10 the morning, put together and
occupied at night"
SIN travelling, as great changes win take
place. Instead Of the dusty road and crowded
ear, there will be splendid Locomotive Hotel,
flying over q road caFpeted with turf and bor-
dered with shade trees, and heralding it's APP
preach with sweet music, instead of the de-
moniac shrek Of the steam whistle, and LABEL
led, Through from Boston to San Francisco
in four days"
aIns.ead Of the uRsightly telegraph poles,
there will be, fifty years hence, a neat work
under ground. and under the bosom of the
deep, and it win click ont thoughts instead of
words. Then the Electric Battery will light all
the street lamps ut once, enable all the clocks
in the city to keep exact time, and kindle the
beac0ns on the dangerous rocks, where now
men hazard their lives and wear out their lonely
days"
aThen the author will not write By our slow
process, losing bis rarest f~anCies, but he will
cit down to the newest Invented Chirographicaf
instrument, and putting his fingers on the keys
writa aa fast as he can think"

Health Depends on Pure Blood,
Brandelh's Pills Partly The Bleed,

BFahGetA'S RlIlS EHFlly tRe Si9Sa'
u No Disease can ReSlSt their JudtciouS Use.
Mild operations with successful effect ere the
popularity CT Brandeth's Pills. Our race is sub
iect to q redundancy of Initiated bile at this sea
son, and it is as dangerous as it is prevalent, but
Brandeth's Pills afford an invaluable and efficient
protection. By their occasional use we prevent
the collection of those Impurities which, when
in sufficient quantities, cause SO much danger to
the body's health. They soon cure liver COM
plant, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, pain in the
head, heart burn, pain in the breast bone, sudden
~taintness and costiveness. In brief, BrandEeth's
Pills work their way to the very roots of the
disease, cleansing in their passage, removing ev.
cry unhealthy accumulation till the blood is pu-
n6ed, the whole system renovated. and the fune-
tions and duty of life become a pleasure, where
before they had been sad and weary burdens
Often when nothing has relieved vomiting of
the most serious character, whether from sea-
sickness OF otherwise, where the retching has
been appalling, a single dose OF four BRANDETH's
Pulls has at ones cured and the patient has fall
en- into a sweet sleep. When the mind cannot
collect iteelf when the memory fails; when it is
an effort to fx the attention; when our sleep is
broken and our waking hours harassed with fore
bodings of evil, then Brandeth's Pills should be
used. If these warnings remain UNDECIDED, rhet-

vented, but nevertheless these they viii also cure.
Use them at once; do not let prejudice prevent
the use of this simple but potent remedy.
R~FaHdetF1's Theory Of Disease.
Never extract blood. Blood is the life. By
abstracting it in painful diseases you may occa-
| sion the patient ease, but remember. this ease is
only the reduction or lessening the powerto feel!
| And by thus taking away natures tools, you may
prevent her from fully repairing the ravages Of
inflammation, and convert what might only have
been the sickness of few days or weeks into =
| chronic affection of months and years.
Brandeth's pills accord with Nature:
Natures remedy in fact. When sudden, acute or
continued pain accurs from any cause, then to
insure a quick return to health, you must use
3ran1eth's Pills, which viii soon relieve every
organ from undue pressure, and remove those hui
mors whose presence often occasions such terri
bic sufferings.

Gears These are ~luxnries with which the
consumers cannot be induced TO dispense. The
difficulty is to procure a genuine Havana, so
numerous are the frauds or ~deceptious as to
the quaIify Of the article. IN he island Of Ecu
ba cigars are made of all classes of tobacco,
aud various sizes and shapes, and, therefore, of
various values. There are certain well-known
brands which can command almost any price;
| they have q fixed yalue-such for Instance, as
those of fla Hija de- Ca5anosy CarbsjaL" ''Cas
bargas," ePataegas," LA Higunra," etc. But
| comparatively few of these are sent to the Uni-
ted States. The population Of Cuba is said to
be a million or million and . hall. Almost
every man, and q very large portion of the wo-
men in the island, smoke cigars. Ten cigars
a day is con -idered about the average quantity
consumed by each person. As the basis of
calculation, the number is put down at four
hundred thousand. This would give for the
consumption Of the island the aim ost incredi-
bic amount of fourteen hundred and sixty nils
lions of cigars per annum, equal TO fourteen
hundred and sixty thousand boxes OF one thon>
sand eachi The compiler of the statistics was
told that he was rather under than over the
number Of smokers, and the quantity they COM
sumed day.
In 1854 the export Of cigars TO the United
States alone was one hundred and forty-two
millions two hundred and fftysnine.

PLANTATIONS IN LOUISIANA, and COM
bines with unqualified success the six important
and distinctive features OF,
/. Working entirely by natural draught.
2. Containing no crate bars or other irons in

8. Never requiring the bagasse 10 be stirred or

hopper of the furnace,

S. Forming no Stag, and the ashes being carried
by the draught into a second chamber, are with

6. Burning all the bagasse on plantations Of any
size, and requiring no other attention than to

wood-the average consumption OF which has
been only one-hall a cord in twenty-four hours,
when the furnace, fues and chimney were
proportioned.
The furnace erected under the new patent OF
August 9th, 1856, are fed without rollers by a
simple arrangement of balanced doors in the bot
tom of the hoppers, which open by the weight OF
the bagasse and require no attention whatever.
This is the only Bagasse Furnace which CONS
bines the above named features, either theoTeti-
cally OF practically.
An investigation of the patents, specifications
and drawings Ito be had of the subscribers will
prove this furnace to be constructed upon strictly
scientific principles, entirely distinct from those
Of and other patented furnace, and an examlna-
ton Of the furnace in operation, will convince the
the most increduIous of the successful application
ofthe principles laid down in the patents, as well
as its perfect simplicity of construction and
management, economy and durability. Some OF
these furnaces have taken off three crops without
any repairs, there being nothing but fire brick
exposed to the fire,
The unde designed are now prepared to contract
with parties for supplying and putting these
furnaces in operation, and solicit Of sugar planters
an investigation Of their testified achievements.

BISULPHITE OF LIME.
NEw ORLEANS, September LIST, 1851

NEW ORLEANS, September LIST, 1897.
DERMIT me to invite your attention TO the
& following in relation to the manufacture Of BIZ
Sulphite OF Lime, which from the first discovery
OF the valuable properties 1t possesses as Il de-
curative OF cane juice until this time, | have pre-
| pared at the New Orleans Southern Chemical
Works, in larger quantities and of greater strength
than any other establishment. My laboratory
contains every requisite for its preparation, and
neither labor, care nor expense is spared to render
1t every year more worthy of the extensive pat
ronage with which it has been favored. Rival
manufacturers have entered into competition with
me in vain, my Bi-Suiphite having as the sub
joined testimonials from leading city journals will
shew always commanded from experienced
Planters the preference.
1t is unnecessary to remind Planters, as they
are already aware Of The fact, that this BkSulph-
tie of Lime, when properly used, Tails TO
produce a beautiful white and yellow crystal
lied sugar that always commands the highest
price In this market, and tie very best recon-
incubation it can have with Western and other
BUYERS is the fact OF its having been made with
BonnabIais Bi-Sulphite, as they consider that a
guarantee against any loss iii weight, and are al
ways willing to pay higher prices for II. The
high repute and favor to which the Planters gen
orally hold this Bi-SuIphite, is so much a matter
of ~notoriety that it is quite unnecessary 10 pub
IlSl mere any Ol the many 1idLtC4lh5 LCSLiiiOAAoN
received daily fiom those who have used II, and
invariably succeeded beyond their most sanguine
expectations IN not only making the best sugar
ever previously made by them, but also in reaIi-
zing the highest prices with less loss il weight
than by any other process. Already large orders
are on my books for the approaching rolling sea-
son, my customers wisely taking advantage Of
time, 50 as to have at the commencement OF Su-
gar making a supply on hand.
As there Is not South of Philadelphia SO extern
sive and complete an establishment as the New
Orleans Southern Chemical Works; not one in
any manner comparable toit in capacity to man
~uiaerure with the greatest dispatch and Of the
strongest quality the Bi-sulphite Of Lime, am
compelled 10 invite the orders of Planters in adj
vance SO that no disappointment may be expert
enced by old or new customers when sugar boil
ing commences.
The best and stamchest barrels have been pro-
vided for the Bi-Suiphite; they are guaranteed
not to leak, and when returned vii! be re-flled
and shipped and fifty cents each allowed from the
price.
Planters should be particular in ordering
through their merchants 10 specify that none bot
H. BonnabeI's Bi-SuIphite be sent TO them.

Nothing so well becomes true feminine

plainly dressed. Fashion often presents
lines OF butterflies, but fashion is not a

q zDioeGy Tragedy in Texas.

p We, find the following in the Dallas
Herald of the 29th ult.: s-. -.
1t becomes our duty to record one of the
most desperate and heart rending irage-
dies. that has ever been enacted IN this
regien OF country. John Robinson, living
soiae topr .qr ,.ire miles eiIOm BHdville
TaIraht county, Friday. morning Of las
week. without previous provoeation, as
we are informed, almost without an in
fiiDation of his iendish intentions, shot
and killed dead, two brothers, George and
JAS. Anderson, brothers Of his wife then
attempted the life of his wife, and fail
ing in that, proceeded deliberately TO his
ncighhcr's, old man Sublett, distance of
Beariy,iwo miles, and while the old man
was begging for mercy, shot hin dead.
Returning 10 within a short distance OF
his home, Robinson finished this horrid
and unnatural tragedy by placing the
mnZzle OF his gun against his own fore
head, and pushing the.trigger with his
ramrod: put an end 70 his own life iin1
staniiy. Tie whole affair occurred in less
than an hour.
Robinson previously had difficulty with
his wife, and had agreed to separation.
Her brothers Were assisting to, remove
her things, when he shot then. both, with
a rife and muSket. Some time ago Rob,
inson committed a brutal assault upon
old man Sublett, and was punished with
several months imprisonment. which
was probably The cause OF his luminosity
against that individual. s.esf -.
