g Headache is the favorite sign BY
which Nature makes known any deviation
whatever from the natural state Of the brain,
and viewed in this light it may be looked on
as safeguard intended to give notice Of
disease which might otherwise escape atten.
ton, till too late to be remedied and its it,
dications should never be neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two names,viz:
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic
headache is exceedingly common aud is the
precursor Of a great variety Of diseases, a
mong which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheuma-
tism, and all febrile diseases. In it's nervous
form it is sympathetic of disease of the stom-
ach, constituting sick headache, Of hepatic
disease constituting bilious headache, of
worms. constipation and other disorders of
the bowels, as we'll as renal and uterine affec-
tons. Diseases of the heart are very fire.
quently attended with headaches; Armenia
and plethora are also affections which fire.
qu-n:ly occasion headache. Idiopalhic head
ache is also very common, being usually dis
tngulshed by the name of nervous headache,
coming on suddenly in a state of
sound health and prostrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and
in other instances it comes on slowly, herald
ed by depression of spirits, or acerbity of
temper. In most instances the pain is in the
front of the head. over one or both eyes, and
provoking vomiting under this
class may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class Of head
ache the Cephalic Pills have been found
sure and safe remedy, relieving the most a.
cute pains in few minutes, and by its SUBJ
tie power eradicating the diseases of which
Headache is the unerring index.

Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to"

much neglected as costiveness. Often origi-
mating IN carelesSness. or sedentary habits !;

lighter evils of which costiveness is the usu-

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE AMALGAMATION OF LANGUAGRs.-
There is growing tendency in this age to
appropriate the most expressive vords Of o.
Their languages, and after while to incorpo-
tate them into our own; thus the word Ce-
phalic, which is from the Greek, signify:ng
"for the head" is now becoming popularized
in connection with MIR. Spaldings Great
Headache remedy. but it will soon be used
in a more general way, and the word Cepha-
lie will become as common as Electrotype
and many others whose distinction as foreign
words has been worn away by common usage
until they seem "native and to the manor
born"

r. Ex-Governor Morrill, of Maine was
on Tuesday last elected United States Sena-
tor to fill the vacancy occasioned by the res
isnation of Mr. Hamlin, the Vice President
elect. He received the unanimous vote Of
the Senate, and had majority of 10l in the
House.
C How it happened that the GRANDPA
Their of the vice president elect was named
"Atrica Hamlin'-a fact which has given CO.
Tor to the rumor that he inherited some Az
rlcan blood-is told by correspondent of
the Boston Journal at Pembroke in this
state. Eleazer Hamlin, an early settler of
that town. was an odd genius, and taking
notion to have some other than the common
scrlptural names in his family. named his
four boys successfully Asia, Africa, Europe
and America. A relative of the family in
Maine offered these boys hundred acres a
piece and they all settled together in Tur.
ner. Me. Hannibal Hamlin is the grandson
OF the said "Africa," but has no more Afri-
can blood in him than the Emperor Napo-
leon.
The POVERTY OF THE SECOND Seeding
STATE.-Mississppi, the second state to leave
the Union, is poorly off. There is not dol
lar in the state treasury, the legislators of
last year have not yet been able to get pay
tor their services, she has no credit IN conse-
quence of old acts of reputation, no militia
organization, not half dozen cannon, no
small arms, and her people refused at the
last Legislative session to be taxed for the ex-
penses OF an independent republic. To crown
ali there is general lack of food and neces-
sarles of life throughout the state.
~ One James Martin implored the
brooklyn police, last Saturday night, to lock |
HIM up for having cut his child's throat in a
frenzy occasioned by jealousy of his wife, and

The characterization.

While the Southern members Of Congress
will he satisfied with no compromise which
does not concede the whole point in dispute
between tire North and South, it will be a
source Of satisfaction hereafter to reflect that
the republicans in Congress did all they
could, consistently with selt-respect and prln-
c;ple, to adjust the sectional difference on a
permanent and satisfactory basis. Actuated
by sincere desire to heal the unhappy differ
ences that now distract the country, they
hav- been willing, in the true spirit Of COLI
Citation, to remove every just cause of COM

ly lnculcated. With this view Mr. Adams, in
the House committee, proposed to admit
New Mexico as state, in order to show that
while the republicans will not surrender the
whole OF the vast territories to the whitening
and bhghting curse Of slavery, they are not
determined to refuse admission to a new
state with slavery, if the people so determine
when forming their state constitution. He
also proposed to amend the constitution ito
the effect that no future amendments of it in
regard to slavery shall be made unless pro-
posed by slave state and ratified by all the
states. Mr. Seward also proposed that Con-
sress will pass a resolution asking governors
to revise statutes to ascertain if personal lib
erty laws exist, and to request their repeal"
and in order to show that the republicans do
not approve of John Brown raids, proposed
that Congress should pass an efficient law
for the punishment Of all persons engaged in
the armed invasion Of any state from anoth-
er by combinations of individuals, and pun
ishng all persons in completely Herewith"

pubFcans had no desire, and did not claim
the right, to interfere with slavery in the

"that the constitution shall never be SO amen
ded as to permit the interference of the fede-
raj government with slavery in the sta,es,and
that this shall be secured by Legislative en-
actment." 1t has been frequently falsely and
maliciously charged upon the republicans,
that the party intended to interfere with sla-
very in the states, either under the present
constitution, or by proposing amendments to
accomplish that object. And the libel has
come to be believed by very many moderate,
conscientious men at the South, who, by the
abominable system adopted there, are pre-
vented from reading republican journals, yet
SO far is this from being true, that We pre-
sumo the proposition Of Mr. Seward in rela-
ton to slavery in the states would receive
the vote of every republican in Congress.
1t will not escape the attention of the
country that the true spirit of Cancellation
and compromise is manifested upon the re- |
publican side. The Representatives of South !

sing, and upon them must rest the response !
blity for whatever consequences may result.

4 Republican Congress.

We are likely to have both Houses Of Con-
gress under the control of the republicans
sooner than was expected. The senators fl ON
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida announced
through senator Brown, on Monday, that
they shoull no more take an active part in
the business of the senate, though they
should not formally withdraw till further IN
formed from their respective states. Mr.
Toombs has gone home, and his Colleague
will doubtless follow. The South Carolina
senators have resi- Sned. Here are ten sena-
tors withdrawn, and the number is likely to
be increased by similar action On the part of
senators Benjamin, Sldcll, WistaIl, and per-
maps others. Thus the republicans will be
left in a majority. Some difficulty is felt by
The recognition OF the refining gentlemen As
still members of the senate, as some of the
commi,tt rs are not left in working state.
and yet, according t" the above tn, DRY, iheir
places cannot be filled. But this iiconvc,i
ence will probably m'e. with practical rem
tdy, so that business can 90 forward.
The same process is contributing to the
same result in the House. 1t is possible that
new hopes of a settlement OF the crisis may
grow out Of this state Of things. We are
sure that the republicans may make an ex-
cellenl and salutary use of the power so sud
denly attained. BY attending vigorously to
the national interests Of the country. sup
porting the national administration in all
good measures, and by conclliatory and
wise course of action toward those who have
precipitattd civil conmotion, they may real
ly revive the spirit of all patriotic citizens
and turn the national feeling decisively tow
ard the restoration of order and fraternity.
We trust they will prove in every way wor-
thy of their responsiblities.-Eoston Jour-
nal.

High Words Between Scott and TOOmbS.

Gen Scott and Senator Toombs met at a
dinner party in Washington, on Thursday
1t is known that the former had declared
Ioombs to be a rebel who ought to be strung
up, and that he had demanded of the cabinet
and nearly obtained his arrest for treason.--
High words passed between them, therefore,
at this meeting. Toombs expressed the hope
that the people Of Charleston would sink the
Star of the West Gen Scott, with much
ea:nestness, asked how he. an American SEN
ator, could possibly desire such thing
Toombs replied that he did desire it, and
more, that those who sent the vessel (nlcan-
ing Scott should be sunk with her. This a.
trocious remark brought severe reioinder
from Gen Scott, when Ioombs gave the vet
eran soldier and patriot the lie direct Gen
Scott rose to resent the insult but those pres
ent interfered. and the matter was Temperate
~ Quoted. The veteran officer declared.
however, that he was responsible for what he
said. Toombs said he too was Responsible
1t is said that the matter is now in the hands
of friends.
