VANDALIsM-There is beautiful statue Of
Jackson in the public grounds of Memphis.
Its mute eloqnence is unheeded by the insane
people of that deluded city. One side con-
trims the words of jackson uttered in the hour
of his greatest triumph: :" The Federal
Union, it must be preserved" When the in
furiated rebels were performing their orgies
at the burial of the United States flag, par.
ty from the crowd rushed to the square, de.
termined to deface the monument by the
erasure Of that sublime sentiment. A few
unarmed Union men declared that such an
act of Vandalism could not be perpetrated
without passing over their dead bodies. The
mob retreated, for they felt the imperious
voice of him, who, "being dead, yet speak
eth." That statue has more patriotism in il
than all the citizens of Maryland ever felt,
and these words must stir up the consciencet
of all who are not morally dead.-Louisuillt

If the ticket headed by Mcconnell is sue

Democrat, in less than six months after The
State officers are inaugurated, California will
be in about the same condition that Missouri

ment in Missouri is much stronger than il
California, in proportion to the population
and yet the secession State officers have man
aged to involve the State In civil war. The

YHEADAcBE is the favorite sign by which na- ture makes known any deviation whatever from the natural state of the brain and viewed in this light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended to give notice of disease which might otherwise escape attention till too late to be remedied; and its indications should never be neglected. HeaI- aches may be classified under two names, viz: : symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head- ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor of great variety of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis eases. In it's nervous form it is sympathetic Of disease of the stomach constituting sick headache, of heptic disease constituting BILIOUS HEADACHE, of worms constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as we'll as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of the heart very frequently attended with Headaches; Anemia and plethora are also affections which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common being usually distinguished by the name of NERVOUS HEADACHE, sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently sound health and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbiy of temper In most instances the pain is in the front of the head ovei one orboth eyes and sometimes provoking vom- iting; under this class may also be named NEU- RALGIA. ...EE
 For the treatment of either class of Headache the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the diseases of which Eeadacne is the unerriDg index

Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the <" many ills flesh is heir to" is so prevalent. so little understood and so much neg lected as Costiveness. Often originating in care lessness, sedentary habits it is regarded as q slight disorder of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and companion of many of the most fatal and danger ous diseases, and unless early eradicated it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual attendant are Headache, Collie, Rheumatism Foul Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a leng train of frghtful diseases such as Malignant Fcvers, Abcesses Dysentcry. Diarrhea, Dyspep sia, A2oplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Fly pochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first in dicate their presence in the system by this alarm ing symptom. Not unfrcquently the diseases named originate in Constipation, but take on an independent existence unless the cause is eradca ted in an early stage. From all these considera- tions it follows that the disorder should receive immediate attention whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect to get box of Cephalc Pills on the first appearance of the complaint, as their timely use will expel the insiduous ap- breaches 0: disease and destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

TIE INFLAMMATION OF LANGUAGEs.-There IS growing tendency in this age to appropriate the most expressive words of other languages and af- ter while to incorporate them into our own thus the word Cephalic, which is from the Greek, signifying "for the head," is now becoming pop uiarized in connection with Mir. Spalding's great Headache remedy, but it will soon be used in a more general way, and the word Cephalic will become as common as Electrotype and many oth- CTS whose distinction as foreign words has been worn away by common usage until they seem ss native and to the manor born.'
