The overland Mail.

We are gratified to see that our repre-.
sentative in Congress, Hon. T. P. Blair,jr.
has promptly introduced a bill into the
,Iouse to authorize the contractors for car
rying the overland mail from the Mississip.
nj river to San Francisco, in California, te
carry the same by any route they may Sc
leet. Should this become a law, St.Loui;
may congratulate herself upon being the
western terminus of the great trunk mai
route, and Missouri will reap the full ben
eft of the travel and transport that it will
induce. The President and postmaster
general, who violated the law TO divert thl
mail route from on state, and the nullil
ers. who have persistently opposed ever,
n~roposition to connect us with the Pacifl'
except the southern Texas tropical route
will Of course exert all their influence K
defeat the proposition Missouri Dem.

THE great popularity which MOFFAT'S LIFE

in consequence Of the extraordinary cures effected
by tner use renders it unnecessary for the propre
tor to enter Into particular anal yss of their medic
nal virtues properties, and having the united tes-
timony Of more than THREE MILLION Of persons
who have been restored to the enjoyment of perfect
health by them, it Is believed that their reputation
as the best vegetable medicine before the pub
lie admits Of dispute. In almost every city and
village in the United States, there are many who
ready testify TO their efficacy in removing disease
and giving to the whole system renewed yigor and
health.
In casca Of Scroftla, Ulcers, Setrgg or Efupto'ss
Of the skin, the operation Of the Life Medicines is
astonishing, often removing in q few days every
vestage Of those loathsome diseases, by their puri
flying effects upon the blood. Fsver and Agae, DBs

SEES yield to their curative properties. 10
