Paris sdvicss indicate unpleasant feeling
towards England. An article in the MON
iteur, discrediting the rumored probability
of an accord between France and England
on the question Of the Congress and gener-
al disarmament, had produced painful I'M
preston.
The London Herald's Paris correspondent
SAYS, the banding together OF France, Rus
sis aud Austria, and the immense naval pre-
parations OF France, render it difficult to dis
believe the universal report, Of . great blow
being contemplated against England. This
was written previous to the more pacific ac-
ton OF the Emperor.
The French steam navy is to be increased
to $50 men of-war, exclusive OF ~ trans.
ports.
The st. Petersburgh papers publish ths
treaty between Russia and China, which had

vice between Kinchta and Pekin.

One Of the humanitarian movements Of the time
although little known as such, can hardly DO over
estimated in its Importance upon tho well being of
our widely scattered communities. Tho popula-
ton of the American States il in many sections so
sparse, that sliful Physicians arc hardly avail
able to them Vast numbers Of our people, are
obliged I" employ in sickness, such medical relief
as they can hear offrom each other, or indeed any
they get from any quarter. Hence arises the
great consumption OF Patent Medicines among us,
greater by far than in any Of the old countries,
where sklful hysicans accessible to all classes.
Unprncipled men have long awaited themselves
of this necessity to palm of their worthless
nostrums, until tho word has become synon-
with imposition and cheat. One of our
leading Chemists in the East, DIR. Aver, is pur-
suing course which defeats this iniquity. He
brings not only his own but the best skill of
tins to bear for the production of tho best remedies
which can be made. These are supplied to the
world, in convenient form, at low prices and the
people will no moro buy poor medicines instead
of good at the same cost, than they will bran in
stead of -four Tho inevitable consequence of this
is, that the vile compounds that food our country
discarded for those which honestly accomplish
the end in vicw.-which cure. Do We over cst-
mate its importance, in believing that this pros
pect Of supplanting the by-word medicines, with
those of actual worth and virtue, is frought with
immense consequence for"good to the masses Of
our people. Ga zeue and Chronicle, Peru. la.
