Fear has been expressed that per-
einptory demand will be made for
payments of debts due to aliens, and
summary means used IN con6scating
their property to the great dctriment

the way Of business, but hopes, in
every instance, to secure the rights
OF the Government without the least
dctriment to private interests, and as
much as possible without litigation.
Let an honorable loyalty be cvin-

,ablishing those rights. Meet him
with an honest intention to do no
wrong, and you may feel full assu-
rance HAT every facility, as urgently
demanded by the exigencies Of the
times, will be extended in return.

the system, and are unequaIIed as a

properties, and under the influence Of
their health-restoring qualities, that
physical condition necessary to the
enjoyment Of sound body and mind
will soon be attained.
From their purifying influence,
the skin becomes steadily smooth and
