A SAP WTcKED WoRLD.-That this is "a
cad wicked world' we have multiplied assur-
ances every day Of our existence. The faile
ing+ and Shortcomings of humanity are told
and listened to as II they constituted the
pItasantest items of news imaginable, and
sights from which the eye Of virtue should
turn way abashed, attract . giddy and well
pleased multitude. These human weaknesses
became a subject Of grave reflection as last
envening We saw q woman taken to the watcha
house ia d state of almost entire nudity, fol4
lowed by a crowd which, regardless of the
rain, seemed determined TO get a glimpse at
The humiliaiing spectacle. Five years ago the

intemperance TO ter other faiIiugs, and last

ECONOMY IN Our DREss.--The population
Of The United States amounts at the present
moment to about 25, 5000. IF every indi>
yidual," saws The New York Herald, "in this
aggregate we're to economist Ten dollars YEAR
", the annual saving would be S~250,000,0o0
BY wearing our clothes six months longer, the
ten dollars could easily be spared, and we
would not be less comfortable or respectable
for the economy" This is true, and however
trivial it may seem to begin in our own houses
holds the work of removing a national misfor~
tune, yet the figures show that a great deal can
be done in this way towards that object. In-
dustry and economy are the only real sources
Of wealth. Industry is paralyzed at present.
and hence we must call in economy to help US
out Of the difficulty. IN nothing can it be APP
piled with less injury to ourselves and The pub
lie than ia the articles of snperluous dress.

B[SULPHITE OF LIME.
NEW ORLEANS. September Isl, LS51

NEw ORLEANS, September LIST, 1857.
DERMIT me to invite your attention 10 the
i following in relation to the manufacture of BIZ
Sulphite of Lime, which from the first discovery
of the valuable properties it possesses as a 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
it 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-Sulphite 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 Bl-SuIph-
tie of Lime, when properly used, never fails to
produce a beautiful white and yellow crystal
lied sugar that always commands the highest
price in this market, and the very best recon-
mrendation it can have with Western and other
BUYERS is the fact of its having been made with
Bonnable's Bi-Sulphite, as they consider that a
guarantee against any loss in weight and are al
WAYS willing to pay higher prices tor 1t. The
HIGH repute and favor to which the Planters gen
erally hold this Bi-Sulphite, is so much a matter
of notorjety that it is quite unnecessary to pub
1ish here any Of the many flatteTlng testimonials
received daily from those who have used it, and
invariably succeeded beyond their most sanguine
expectations IN not only making the best sugar
ever previously made by them, but also in reall-
ling the highest prices with less loss III weight
than by any other process. Already large orders
are on my books for the approaching rolling sea-
son, nv customers wisely taking advantage OF
so as to have at the commencement OF SUI
gar making a supply on hand.
As there is not South of Philadelphia so extern
siye and complete an establishment as the New
Orleans Southern Chemical Works; not one in
any manner comparable toit in capacity TO man
~ufacture with the greatest dispatch and Of the
strongest quality the Bi-Sulphite of Lime, | ana
compelled to 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 staunchest barrels have been pro-
vided for the Bi-Sulphite; they are guaranteed
not TO leak, and when returned will be re-fllied
and shipped and fifty cents each allowed from the
price.
Planters should be particular in ordering
through their merchants 10 specify that none but
H. Bonnabel's Bi-Sulphite be sent to them.

UOne of the most startling cases IS Nara
ted Of DE-. MLane's Vermifuge BY pr. John
Butler, Of Lowell, Trumbull Co., Ohio. The
case was that Of d young lady who had been
very sick for eight gears, and had consulted q
number Of physicians, who bad treated i as
one OF Prolapsus Uteri. DR.. Butler was then
called IL, and for d time believed with his pre-
decessors thatit was case of P~rolapsus. He
was, however, soon forced to the conclusion
that bis patient was suffering from worms, and
after much persuasion prevailed upon her TO
take two doses Of Dir. MIane's Vermifnge,
prepared BY Fleming Bros. Of Pittsburgh.
This medicine had the effect Of removing from
her 4 countless plumber of the largest size.
After she had passed them, her health imme
diately returned. She is since married. and
continues TO enjoy excellent health.

THIS Pistol is intended as the forerunner of the

men and boys who wish to enjoy the exciting
sport OF firing at a target, at the most trif1ing ex-
pense, and without any danger of accident. The
cheapest ordinary pistol is three or four times the
price of this, besides being dangerous in the hands
of boys. This Pistol is loaded with the common
Fire Cracker, which forms a complete cartridge,
and will carry a ball ten or fifteen PAGES with the
same precision as the ordinary pistols, but not
with sufficient force to do any serious damage.
As America is a shooting nation, the Young
Americans must and will learn the art by which
our independence was secured. Hence this Tar
get Pistol is exactly in time, and must meet with
universal sale among our youth of the South and
West. It's operation is perfectly simple, and it is
not liable to get out Of order. A full description

Superior to all Essences, Syrups and Ex-
tracts SO named, and 10 all s~peciali-

T HAVE for along time thoroughly investigated
l. the idea of a general therapeutic agent, sus-
ceptible of being applied to all diseases, the de-
velopment or morbid principle of which proceeds
from an internal cause, either in the blood or any
of the organs.
A careful and uninterrupted analysis ofthe ami
NAL, vegetable and mineral kingdoms had induced
the hope that | conid bring about such a result,
and, thanks to my interchangeable researches, it is
now obtained.
have found in some vegetables the necessary
means for this grand idea, which is based Ipon an
oleaginous principle of SarsaparilIa partly known
to the public. Such is the discovery which l
have the honor this day of advertising. The
form of Lozenges has been given to it, because its
nature precIuded the possibility of doing other
wise; and have divided it into simple and COM
pound Lozenges, in order that they might be given
20 children as we'll as adults.
My first experiments were made privately, and
remained unknown until wonderful results had
satisfied me that | had succeeded, and that the
charge Of quackery could not be brought against
me.
The attention of physicians and ofthe public is
called to these Lozenges, in order that every one
may witness the admirable results of the same.

the rounds some years ago relative to notable

thereto the figures in that year, and 1915, the
fall of Napoleon BonapaFte, Isl THE result. PROF.
