The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusually inter- esting during the forthcoming year.

It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only intelligible and reliable history of current events, and as such, in addition to their well-estadlished literary, scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading pub- lie.

ScrOfula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes yitiated.
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from Its attacks, nor is there one which it NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variouslv
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, liltl.
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the yenereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation - indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, - l
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, III
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous /;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

AYERS
COMPOUND Extract of SarsapariIla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
biped from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERUprIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANrHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PMrLEs, PUsTrLEs,
BLorcHEs, BLAINs and BoILs, TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEux, ScALD HEAD, RINGwoRM,
RHEuMATIsM, SYpHrLITIc and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEnrLITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM VITIA-
TED OR IMPURE BLooD. The popular belief
in "in,pmity " of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.

SoMNAMBUL1sM.-A sickly girl in Ply
mouth, N. H., a somnambulist, w'th q
strong propensity to run off with things
and hide them where they could not be
found, nor she herself remember, so that
at last it was found necessary to lock her
up securely at night. made off few weeks
since with valuable watch. The family
gave her the liberty, and wached her move
ments in the hope that the same somnam-
bulism that carried it off would again find
it. The other night she started out fol-
lowed by her brother. She walked places
that he dare not follow; but the moonlight
helped to show her course and be kept
along. Finally she walked up the trunk
Of an old tree that hung at an angle of
forty-fve degrees oyer brook, stood firm
ly at the end while tree theswayed beneath
her, and STOPPING down brought out the
watch. Returning to terra Jfrma, the
brother walked her, took the property and
then hurried home.

A New BREED OF SHEEP.-A report
has lately been made to the Society of
Acclimation of Animals in London, new
breed of sheep, or at least animals resem-
bling sheep, except in size, found in coun-
tries adjacent to the Punjaub. The ami
mails are called Purik Sheep, and are the
most diminutive of the OWLS family, the
full grown ones being not larger than lambs
of few weeks old. The Purik sheep has
small bones, a feshy carcase, and the NUT
ton is excellent. and yields three pounds a
year of very fine wool. The ewes general
ly give two lambs year. The great ad-
advantage of this over other breeds is its
domestic habits-living around the cot
tage as quite as house dog, and feeding
upon all sorts of waste garbage, scraps Of
fruits, vegetables, crumbs of bread, shreds
that are frequently wasted; eating them
from the hands of any one who Offers
1t is thought that the Purk Sheep would
be suited to the climate of England, and
exactly adapted to the wants OF many cot,
tagers. If SO, it would also suit many in
this country. 1t would be great object
to get an animal to consume the kitchen
garbage, less Objectionable that hog, and
flesh Of which would afford more whole
some food to common people, too many of
whom live, so far as meat is concerned,
upon pork.
1t is supposed that this kind of sheep
would make..rather interesting pets, of which
children would be particularly fond; and
we appro7e anything that would be likely
to dispIace worthless dogs in their affections
and at the same time add to their happi-
ness.

SINGULAR SUICIDE BY AN EMINENT CLER.
eYMAN.-There was singular suicide al
the Spencer House, somewhere between
the middle of Sunday afternoon and mid
night. The circumstances are these: On
Saturday evening, the Rev. Robert c. Rice
one of the most eminent ministers of the
Christian or reformed Baptist Church, ar
rived at the Spencer House, on his way
from Philadelphia to his home at Emil
nence, KY. He Immediately went to his
room, and is not known ever to have left
it. During the forenoon Of Sunday, the
chambormaid desired to arrange his apart
menr, but he declined to have her do so,
alleging that be was unwell.
A similar application, in the afternoon,
met with similar excuse. About mid
night the clerks attention was called 10
the matter by the statement of the boot
black, that the boots had remained outside
of the door all day. Upon entering the
room, (the door was unlocked), Mr.. Rice
was found upon the bed, dead. He had
shot himself in the head with a small pis-
tcl, which was still grasped in his hand.
About half past five o'clock in tine evening
one of the chambermaids had heard the
report of a pistol or fre-cracker, in that
portion of the hotel, but. as it was not ve-
ry loud, she did not pay particular atien-
ton to it.
On the table lay an open Bible, and a
sealed note addressed to Mayor Bishop, of
which the following is a copy:
"Please have my poor body put in gen.
teel case, and sent without molestation to
Eminence, KY, where, 1 hope, it will be
laid by beside my dear Eliza. Ny Chris
tian character is impeached, and, by mis-
fortune, the means of vindication are cut off.
l have been trueman; have lived for the
good of mankind and the glory of God. l
never injured human being intentionally.
l have preached faithfully the true Gospel
of Christ, and to the Cross of Christ l
have ever cluug, as the ground of my hopes.
Take charge of my trunk, money, and
clothes here, to pay all charges. But all
is lost-my mind frantic-my heart crush
ed. R. C. RICE.
The allusion "my dear Eliza," is to his
first wife. The deceased stood high in his
church as man eminent for piety and
learning. No other cause is assigned for
the act BY his friends than a settled melan-
choly induced by the separation of his sec
ond wife from him. 1t is but recently that
he married the last time, and his wife
parted from him few days after their
nuptials. - Cincinatti Commercial.

NapoIeou to Re-take Louisiana.

The New York Courier des Etas Unis,
in a recent number, contains letter from
an old officer of the French army, in which
the writer pretexts that on the dissolution
of the Union, the present Emperor of the
French will make an attempt to recover
the Louisiana country ceded by the first
Napoleon. The pretext of such ''re-annex-
alton" is found in the following calcula-
tion, which, will be seen, proceeds on an
erroneous statement of the facts with re-
GARD to the terms of the Louisiana pur.
chase:
"Now, you will ask me how these re-
sumptions could take place, and by what
right. This is very easy to explain. II j:
Louis Napoleon who would begin by a
very simple and logical process of reason
ing, for every one knows that Napoleon
III. aims at consolidating all that Napo-
leon 1. had in view with regard 10 foreign
policy. Now, Napoleon l., in 1903, ceded
Louisiana to the United States for the sum
of SIS, 100000, which the Government o.
the United States engaged TO ray to the
American merchants whose goods and
ships had been seized during the wars o.
the French Republic, from 1791 TO 1901
but as the United States have not paid
the aforesaid fifteen millions, and as, for
more than forty years, we have seen bought
before Congress, session after session, a
French spoliation bill, which has never
been passed therefore as soon as the Un-
ion shall be dissolved, those who claim
this sum will address themselves to Louis
Napoleon; and have no doubt, considering
the character, that he will pay their de-
nnands and retake Louisiana.

MExIoo.-Miramon, the military leade
of the Church party in Mexico, has at last
been completely routed by the Liberals, who
have occupied the city of Mexico. Mira
mon is young man, of extraordinary mil
itary capacity. His courage and genius
have for some time sustained the falling
fortunes of his party. Mexico has been
given up as hopeless; but there will be a
revival of hope for her now, which, we fear,
is doomed to disappointment. Juarez, the
head of the Liberals, has been sent for to
assume authority at the national CITY,
His Government was recognized by our
Administration when be was besieged by
Miramon in Vera Cruz.

ject of which is to protect the Star Span.

organization has sprung from the remains
of the order OF United Americans, and

They will son offer their services to the
