IIoLLowAY's PILLS AND OINTMENT.-THE SUP
rERIsGs OF WoMEN.-CANcER IN THE BREAST
Nothing is more prevalent than this terrible
aflcton of women, or less understood than its
nature and treatment-until n few years back
the knife and cautery were the only remedy, but
how few survived the barbarous and inhuinan
operation, all other means were repudiated, so
stubborn is crror-when the benign and rational
discovery of lIolloway's Ointment beamed on the
world, the news sped on "the wings of light"
and Holoway's establishment was daily boseged
by myriads Of sgonized martyrs to cancer, who
were successfully treated, and returned to their
homes rejoicing. We now confidently assert,
that cancer, whatever its origin has been, can
be successfully eradicated by course of lIollo-
ways Pills and Ointment This is the actual
testimony of thousands already cured by them.

BARNuM's LAST SToRY.-Barnum IS always
ready with a good story. His latest is the fol-
lowing, which is told of Elias Howe, jr., who
has been very active in fitting out regiments for
the war. Mr.. Howe has spent thousands of
dollars in this way, and taken SO great an inter
est in military affairs, that he has had but little
time to attend to anything else.
One day, very worthy Connecticut deacon
called upon the gentleman, with q subscription
list. He wanted Mr.. Howe to give something
towards erecting new church.
"a new church," replied Howe, ah, new
church. don't think can give anything, be-
cause am spending all my spare money for the
war Can think Of Hothing else."
The deacon looked despondent, MIR. Howe
seemed firm in his determination not to give a
red. At last asked the deacon what the new
church was to be called.
"The Church of st. Peter, sir" was this
reply.
"Ah, the Church of st. Peter" replied Howe
"Well, as 81. Peter was the only fighting apos
tie in the lot, guess I'll have to give something
But cant do much even for st. Peter, as my
time and money must be almost entirely devote'
to Salt Petre." 4-l

EXODUS OF sLAvRRY.-Slavery is vanishing
from Missouri more rapidly even than it's enc
mics predicted Secession has made the State
too hot for the institution, and Secessiouists are
daily leyaing the State for the South, with their
slavsa, to escape the very dangers they them-
Belves madly invited and provoked. We argued,
six montha ago, that Secession or attempted Sc
cession in Missouri, would overthrow Slavery in
the State, and hurry the institution to its doom.
But the Seoessionists would not listen to US.
They are now verifying our predictions by fleeing
with their slave from the consequence Of their
own folly.-St, Louis Evening Neps.

prospect that, should the War for the Union go
