We know of no invention of modern times that de-
serves or is destined to occupy a higher niche in the
temple of fame, than the discovery or invention of the
Vegetable Epiletic Pills for curing Epilepsy, or Fall
ing Fits; Spasms, Cramps, and all the various modi-
fcations of Nervous Disease. DIR. Seth S. Hance, of
los Baltimore street, Baltimore, Md, the inventor, is
certainly entitled TO the best wishes of all the bencvo-
lent portion of mankind, who experience n pleasure
by the alienation of human suffering. When DR..
Hance first prepared these Pills, he intended them
solely for Fits, Cramps and Spasms; but subsequent
experience satisfactorily proved to him, that in addi-
ton to their remarkable sanative properties in this
class of diseases, they exert a perfect control over
the entire nervous system. He was then induced to
try them in cases of Neuralgia, Tic-Doloreux, Ner-
vous Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, ~Incipient
Paralysi sis, Hysteria, Muscular Debility, and a host of
minor diseases, springipg from a lack of nervous en-
ergy, in all oil which his aRticipations were crowned
with the mos sanguine success. Persons at a dis
lance, by writing and sending a remittance to DR..
Hanee, can y ave the medicine forwarded by mail TO
their post Office address, he paying the postage. The
prices are for a single box, So, two boxes, So or S24
per dozen. We have given his address above. 4w86

MEDICAL SCIENCE.

The history of ~ssHOOFLAND'S GERMAN BIT
TERS,'' the most remarkable medicine of the day,
and the many cures that have been performed with
it in cases of LIVER COMPLAINT, DYSPEPSIA,
NERVOUS DEBILITY, and diseases arising from a
disordered liver or stomach, place it among the
most astonishing discoveries teat have taken place in
the medical world. Toe Diseases to which these
Bitters are applicable are so universal, that there are
but fow of our friends who mag not test their virtues
in their own families or circle of acquaintances, and
prove to their ewn satisfaction that there is at least
one remedy among the many advertised medicines,
deserving the public commentator. 1t is a fact
that, in the minds of many persons, a prejudice ex-
lists against what are called Patent Medicines; but
why should this prevent you restoring to an article
that has such an array of testimony to support it as
Hoofland's German Bitters? Physicians prescribe
it, why should you discard it? Judges, usually con.
sidered NEE of talent, have and do use it in their
own families. Why should you reject it? Clergy
men, and those the most eminent, take it,; why
should not you2- Let not your prejudice usurp your
reason, to the everlasting injury of your health if
you are sick, and require q medicine, try these Bit
tiers.
These Bitters are prepared and sold by DR.. c. NJ.
jackson, No. 41S Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa,
and by druggists and storekeepers in every town and
village in the Uuited States, Canadas. West Indies,
and South America, at Is cents per bottle. See that

The Acquisition of Cuba.

= The Boston Courier, after-tracing the histo-
ry of our policy in regard to Cuba, says:
Owe have seen that thirty or forty years ago
the acquisition of Cuba was felt to be import
ant to the interests of our country, and that
its annexation was seen in the distance as a
commercial and political necessity. In the
progress of events many if not all the obsta-
cles to this acquisition and annexation have
been overcome. We now lack neither prece-
dents to justify us, nor successful experiment
to encourage us in the extension of our domin-
ions and in the increase of our family of States,
even from foreign sources. The enlargement
of the area of freedom, by the spread of our
benign institutions of government, has indeed
become a permanent policy, and in the popular
mind an irresistible destiny. The acquisition
of Cuba is reduced therefore to a question of
expediency."

@=ARTHER,s HOME MAGAZINE for March
is upon our table. As we have frequently re-
marked, we regard this Magazine as the best
Preside Monthly that is published. We are
glad to learn that the Home Magazine entered
upon the current year with a largely increased
list of subscribers.
One of the best features of the Magazine is
its bold and effective assaults upon all the
" isms% and humbugs that seek to engraft their
ulcers upon our social system. The following,
which we extract from its pages, will show
how the Magazine deals with one of the latest
and most demorafizing of modern impostures
A DELUsIoN DYING oUT.-From the begin
ming of that insane infatuation, miscalled spir-
itualism, we have, at intervals, lifted a voice of
warning against it, and in terms that no reader
could mistake, denounced it as an evil and
dangerous thing. We gave to the phenomenon
sufficient attention at first, to enable US to de-
eide upon its origin and tendency and from
that time, no phase thereof presented itself,
in any way, caused US to waver in opin-
ion. All that we heard, saw, and read, was
but corroborative of our original conclusion,
that evil spirits were operating more ultimate
ly on human minds, producing deluslon, IN
sanity and that to come, voluntarily, within
the sphere of their influence, was one OF the
most dangerous experiments to which any one
could subject himself.
How sadly in hundreds, yea, thousands of
instances, has our view of the matter found
corroboration. Witness the fearful aggregate
of insane persons from this cause.-The suicides
the family arrangements and infidelities-the
crimes and bestialitiesl Is not their name
legion? And can we turn our eyes in any di-
r%ection; and not see the blasting record of these
things staring US in the face
Does a good fountain send forth black and
filthy water like this No! The stream is
evil at the very source. 1t issues from the pit
of darkness.
The Hatch receptions and shocking i'm
moralities, and the melancholy suicide of one
of the Hutchinson singers, are recent instances
of the evils that spring from this most fruit
full source Of evil. May the warnings they
speak, trumpet-voiced, be needed by those who
are in the least inclined, whether from curl
osity or graver motives, to come within the
sphere of this corrupt delusion.

The average number at each Wednesday market
