Ague Cure,



Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fcvers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the 1Inlaria Of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled 10 offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use i'll any guam
tity,
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. PreueltiOa is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baloful distelnper. This "CuuG expcis
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuE
from tho system and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease if taken on the fiIst up-
preach of its premGnitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
;Or this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious Districts, where FEVER
AND AGUE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price viii place it within tho
reach Of all-tho poor as wei as the rich. A
great superiority of thia remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and cer-
tain cure Of Intcrmi!tents is, that it contains

The Insurrection in Greece,

The recent arrival from Europe have
brought briei dispatches concerning q
rebellion 10 Greece. The instruction
began on the 18Th of FEBRUARY, at Nau.
| plia, a city at the head OF bay of the
same name, on the eastern shore of the
Morea. Cause Of Inc disturbance is Q
general dissatisfaction which the King
and Queen, especially the latter, to whose
Influence was attributed the overthrow
of the constitution, a few years since, and
who is generally disliked on account OF
her sympathy with Austria, which is very
natural, she being amembef Of the Haps-
burg family. Nauplia had garrison OF
nearly eighteen hundred men, and the
only awnel in the country was situated
there. The garrison revolted in the night;
seized the copmander, and made the pre-
feet ofthe city prisoner; on the morn
ing Of the 18th nit, the garrison of Ian
lea followed the example OF Nauplia,
and trouble was expected elswhere.-
Gen. Hahn, German, was sent with
force against tie rebels, and a naval ex-
petition has also started against them
Little reliance, however would be placed
on either soldiers or sailors, and the
event was considered doubtful. The
latest dispatch states that the king has pro.
missed to change the ministry, and ii was
hoped the insurgents would lay down
their arms on this concession. Either
King Ohio is very tyronnicl or the people
Greece are very captous, and lacking
in all ofthe elements necessary TO success
Greece has been the scene OF continued
difficulties, ever since the King was i'm
ported from Germany, thirty years ago,
and the country SCENE to be getting in a
worse state every year.

constrnc,or Of the MonIlor.

1 AS many ofour readers wish to know
who Mr.. Ericsson (tho inventor Of tn,
iron clad battery Monitor. which di.
such efficient service at the recent naval
engagement in Hampton Roads, is, WI
have compiled the following short biog
raphical sketch of that distinguished per
son. John Ericsson was born in 1908
in the province Of Vermeland Gmong
the iron mountains of Sweden. His faith
or being engaged in mechanical pursuits,
the son early evinced remarkable taste
for the same occupation, and before he
was ton years of age he constructed Sow
eral aechanical conlrivanceS which
would have been credlable to older
heads. In 1914 he was appointed TO a
cadetship in the corps orengineersi in the
Swedish army, and while in that position
was several times made supervisor OF
important trusts, although several off.
GERS outranked him both in age and po-
sition. In 1926 he visited England, and
proceeded to construct a number OF new
engines ofhis own invention, which met
with wonderful success. In the fall Of
1920, the Liverpool and Manchester
Railroad having offered prize for the
best locomotive engine, to be tested on
their road, Mr.. Ericsson constructed
the Novelty steam carriage, which dar.
ted along at the rate of fifty miles an
hour, to the unbounded admiration and
applause Of the spectators.
He afterwards constructed several steam
fre-engines, proved TO be successful in
ventions. He was the first 10 apply TO
marine engines centrifugal blowers, using
anthracite coal. Mr.. Erissen emigruted
10 this country in 1889. and his first
great achievement was the building Of
the United States steam frigat PrinSIon,
the first vessel that steam was ever ntrodu
ced into with the works below the wa
ter line. His works was so remarkable
that the French Government engaged him
to plan the French frigalo Pomona, Of SO
guns, which also proved success. He
next determined to construct battery
which would be useful in naval warfare.
On the 9TH of October he signed thecon-
tract for the construction Of the Monitor,
and on the 9lst Of December, being a
period Of two months and eight days, the
steam machinery and propeller were put
into operation, and on the one hundred
and first working day she was launched.
The rest of the history of the Monitor is
so we'll known to our readers that its re-
copitulation here would be unnecessary.

FREsa MAPLE MoLAssrs.-A cores.
pOndent of Field Notes gives the follow.
ing.
Maple molnsses well made and put up
in cans right from the kettle, and hermoti-
cally sealed, as you would seal fruit, will
keep as fresh as when first boiled from
the sap, and this is decidedly the best
plan for keeping, as when made in cakes,
il exposed TO the air, it will lose some
what Of the peculiarly delightful flavor
for which it is so priced, and is often in.
jured by insects. All This is obyiated
by canning while hot. To many families
who do not make it on a large scale, this
need be but little expense, as cans
that have been through the winter car
be used until autumn fruits demand
them again. Put up your best in this
way. Where large quantities are made
for market, the buyers must select ant
can for themselves.

What shall be done with Traitors,

"Hangthem, OF COURSE" says General
Scott. An old-fashioned idea, certainly;
but whila deludcd masses may well be
forgiven on returning to their allegiance
we devoutly hope that the leaders, the
men who out Of their insane ambition
have brought horror to ten thousand
homes, and become the murderorS of
those who have fallen on either side, will
not be permitted to escape without the
punishment of death. The world needs
the example. AS the New York Times
says "The spontaneous instincts Of all
loyal men point to the gibbet as the on
ly fl end for those supreme in tho wick
cd cause. Certainly, for all concerned
in any way in the rebellion, absolute
political death is the least punishment
that can be meeted out to them"
