Mr.. Mansfed's services In both cases being
the same, we are left to suppose that he
has a special arrangement by which at
some expense spirits are hunted up in the
different spheres with absolute certainly
The extra two dollars should not be grum-
bled at as exorbitant, for there is no rea-
son disclosed to as by modern spiritualism
why horse power or steam, or any special
messengers, should not cost something in
the other world as well as in this. Mr..
Mansfield would not evidently require the
extra two dollars unless his expenses were
increased by the absolute guaranty to get
an answer. We do not intend to HAT a
doubt as to any part Of this transaction.
We believe great deal. But we should
like exceedingly we'll to know, as matter
of curiosity, what Mr.. Mans6eld's postal
or express arrangements are IN the other
world. When the spirit does not come at
his CALL how does he go to work to nscer-
lain his particular place of residence in the
spheres, and when known how does he get
the letter to him, and obtain reply. No
spiritual revelation that we have yet had
would be more interesting than answers ia
these questions. Will Mr.. Mansfield give
them for three dollars? Or has he pat

The SutieringS Of Women.
STRENGTH FOR TIE FEEBLE.

1t is feared that the the suilcrings of the
feeble sex are moderated because they are borne
SO mcckly and uuComplainingly. They have
not been overlooked. however in that great
remedial system originated by Professor lIollo-
way. His Pills and Ointment are no less po-
tent in their rcgcncmtiyc effect upon the fe-
male invalid than i'll their curative action up
on the diseased frame of man. Young women
engaged in scdentary occupations, are dehar-
red from the outdoor exercise which nature
demands as a condition OF health, are subject
TO II great variety of harr;ls>ing and dangerous
complaints. digestion becomes imperfect, the
blood impure, and all the secrctivc organs dis
ordered, i'll the absence of physical cxertion in
the fresh air. The results Of these derange-
mcnts alc various. Sometimes the liver is
torpid the complexion sallow, the frame cmaci-
atcd. In other cases dyspepsia, hystcria,
helpless debility eruptions on the skin, sick
headache, and terrible depression supervcnc.
But III whatever shape the mischief may be
developed, lloll0way's remedies, with proper
attention to diet and regimen will speedily
effect a cure. The pills act specifically upon
The stomach and the liver, restOrin. to the

Treaty with Great Britain.

Reciprocity Treaty with Great Britain.
In the Senate, by way of reply to
Mr.. lIamlin's suggestion, that the
fishermen were placed at some dis
advantage by the admission of foreign
fish under the reciprocity treaty, Mr..
Benjamin insisted that that treaty
was the work of New England and of
the North, and that it came with a very
i'll grace from that quarter, to set up
that treaty, or any consequence which
flowed from it, as a reason for reta in
ing the fishing bountics.
This brought out Mr. Hamlin, who
said he was opposed to that treaty,
and did not vote for it.
Mr.. Fcsssnden said he did not vote
for it.
Judge Collamer said:
al can merely say that the State
which | represent was opposed to that
treaty; and believe her Senators
voted against it."
Judge Collamcr added afterwards,
and it deserves special attention:
81 have been strongly impressed
with the idea that that treaty was
made for the purpose of persuading
Canada not to join the United States
lest it might alter the balance of pc
litical power between the North anC
South | think that was really at The
bottom of the matter; because, II they
could have all the advantages of trade
with this country, and through it,
without contributing anything to the
support of our Government, they
would not be very likely to be as
anxious to join us as they had been
for several years before; and they
were quoted in that manner. They
now derive all the advantages of re-
ceiving their importations through
this country duty free, without con-
tributing anything to the support Of
our Government Under such an ar
rangement they will probably be very
quiet, and not undertake to join the
North to disturb the political balance
of this country. | fancy that, in point
of fact, that consideration entered in.
to the treaty more deeply than any
thing else, though | am not in the
secrets of the prison house,"
Mr.. Toombs, who is generally frank,
declared that he had voted for the
treaty, but the other gentlemen on
that side of the Senate Chamber pre-
served cautious silence.
Upon the whole, Mr. Benjamin took
nothing by his motion.
