The CAUSE OF FAILURE OF THE REBELS
The future historian who may write of the de-
cline and fall of the great Confederate empire
Of Jefdom, will fail to trace to its real origin
that melancholy event, if we regard not the
following melancholy facts which come to US
in the telegraPhic dispatches, from the recent
ly captured city of Memphis
Sales of liquor by the druggists has been
prohibited here since December. The drug
gists have to report to the authorities every
case in which they sell it and only on pbysi-
clans prescriptions"
Whisky is worth four dollars per gallon. 1t
was in December, that whisky was prohibited
except on physicians prescriptions, and a cou-
pie Of months later, when the whisky may be
supposed to have fairly got out Of them, that
their cause began to fail. Since that period,
as whisky has grown scarcer, their cause has
sunk lower, and we now await, with impa-
tience, the hour when whisky shall be four
dollars per gallon all over the country, and
rebellion and Republicanism consequently col
lapse Atlantic Exchange.

PLENTY OF MONEY. - Nothing occasions
more surprise among financial meE IL ard
about Washington, than the abundance 0.
money, and the high credit Of Government 81
curities. \ redundant currency 10 lorgeT
seems TO produce It's ussal effects Of the expAn-
sion Of business, and sudlen and ruinous Ieae-
ton. The Federal currency is 10 be doubled
in volume in the course Of another year. and il
is believed that it will be absorbed by the
increasing amount Of business.
The Philadelphia Ledger represents similar
plethora of money in that city. It says:
The quantity of money seeking investment
in this city is something wholly unprecedented.
The United States allow only four per cent. in
cash left on deposit, and ii is difficult to place
money at three per cent. with private parties,
on call. The demand for mortgages is some
thing extraordinary, and is so greatly in ad
vance of the supply that parties are now ad
vertising for mortgages On farms and country
property in the adjoining counties. In trans
actions on city property the lenders are in many
cases offering TO pay the commissions and ex
penses usually borne by the borrowers, and il
cannot be long before rates on mortgages fall
to five per cent. This abundance of money
must act as stimulus to all legitimate business
and must promote the very desirable substitu-
ton of cash for credit in business transactions
The following paragraph, from the Balti
more American, is quoted with satisfaction by
the loyal press Of the State and country:
"On Saturday the bids for the Maryland
Defense Loan were opened at Annapolis The
amount 10 be awarded was two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars; the amount fer which
bids were made was nearly two and hall
millions of dollars No bid was made under
par, and they ran up to nearly two and half
per cent. premium. To obtain the amount
asked for it was not necessary to accept any
bid under two per cent premium. These brief
facts speak proudly of the financial credit Of
the State, and the position which her assured
loyalty to the Union has given her. We can
only rightly estimate that position by compar-
ing it with those States of the Union in rebel
lion. Not any one of them would in the money
market of the world this day obtain loan
unless their return to the Union was made a
condition precedent Dishouored and impov.

EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF AN IRISH
MAN AMONG CASNIBALs.-The Cork Herald
says: There is at present a person in a
charitable institution Of this city who was a
prisoner on the island of Kikahewa, one of the
Marquesas group in the South Pacific Ocean.
for the space of sixteen months. He describes
the natives as cannibals, aud during his resi-
dence among them he was forced to attend
their k0ekaS or feasts on three different occa.
sions. The natives had taken some prisoners
from another tribe with whom they were at
war, and their feasts on these prisoners are de-
seribed as most horrible and inhuman. He
was forced by the natives to eat with them.
and, to save himself from being devoured by
them, he partook of delicate steak taken
from boy about thirteen years of age He
describes it as delicious, and says that the only
drawback to the feast was the revolving idea
Of human flesh. He was wrecked on the reefs
near the island. Sixteen of the crew were
lost. The captain, cook steward, cabin-boy
and himself escaped to land, and were taken
by the natives. A squaw, daughter of the
NdPe'kd, or king, took fancy to him and
protected him from harm, while the other four
were eaten by the cauubals with great gusto.
He managed to save from part Of the wreck
which ioated ashore some of the effects of the
captain and sailors, and, finding paper and
ink, he kept very minute journal of every
days proceedings His description of their
manners, customs, religion, and amusements,
&c, together with full and complete geogra-
ply Of the island, is most interesting and valu-
able. He brought with him species of nut,
which has effected most astonishing cure Of
a case Of epilepsy, and which viii probably
cause stir in the medical world.

An AsToNIsHED " ABoR1G1SE"-A Salt
Lake correspondent, in speaking of the Over
land Telegraph, relates the following:
Talking about telegraphs. the first message
received over the wires was sumner, and
came direct from his Satanic Majesty to an
" aborigine." 1t appears the workmen were
engaged in q hauling taut7 the wire, prepara.
tory to crossing a stream, the banks of which
were high and abrupt, and among them, at the
extreme end nearest the bank was gentle.

nature, concluded to work for few days to
get dollar to expend for whiskey and tobacco.
They were surging away on the wire, when a
little streak Of electricity came dashing along
from a point hundred miles away, where a
thunder storm was raging, and quicker than
any hot potato was ever dropped, was the me-
tai from the hands OF the " haulers," who uD.
derstood it, all except Mr.. Indian, who was
suddenly seen 10 execute war dance, with his
eyes rolling bat he couldn't let 60 in time :
the shock itself, of which the slight sensation
had been a precursor, formed continuity a
with the native" and suddenly very fat
pair of feet were seen pointing heavenward,
and the Indian supposed to own them going
down in crescent like curve, head first into
the creek. For moment he disappeared, but
Immediately emerged, scrambled up the bank,
took one wild look behind him, and then ran
as no Indian ever ran before, with every hair
straight up like porcupine's, so stiff you
could have hung pickaxe on it. That Indi,
an has never been seen in that vicinity since
He must consider the telegraph perfect

The Polar Star.

Star Of the North. whose clear, cold light
Breaks on the darkness Of the sky,
When solemn-paced the pilgrim night
In silence journeys By.
Watcher by heavens embattled walls,
How far through nature circle falls
The radiance Of thine eye!
Thou eenter-point Of m nyriad spheres,
Through aged Times grey round of years.
Bright dweller by the unfooted North,
New light hath ever clothed thy face,
Since the high God first launched thee forth
Into the boundless space;
Mountains have from their base been cast
Earthquakes have opened antres vast
Old ocean changed its place;
Nations and tribes of star-bright fame
Have perished-thou art still the same.
Thy glance is ever bold and bright
Thou never weariest in thy task;
What time departs the sable night,
And morn with rosy mask
Glides through clouds, like hills of snow.
Or in the noonfide's passionate glow
All earth and ocean bask;
Till westward, down the redd ming air
Drops the round sun-thou still art there!
Long vert thou worshipped as a guide
BY the bold dwellers on the sea,
Where neither mark nor track abide
Changefully eternaly!
When Ger them crept the night hours dark.
Through the wide waste they urged the bark,
By science won from thee:
Till the dark presence of the storm
Smote from their eyes thy beaming form.
W hat ages, from yon arctic bed
Hath thy deep-fountaned radiance shone!
Nor may that golden flame be dead
So long as Time rolls on;
But still, with clear and steadfast rays,
Emblem that faith by which we gaze
On the Eternal Onel
The beacon by whose light we ride
Triumphing DER Life's dangerous tide.
0 bright and beautiful in thee
We read Gods love-his power, how strong
That through the sky's immensity
Thy giant mass out-iung
So distant from our rolling world
That were thy sphere of beauty hurled
From the resourding throng,
Thousands of years might pass away
Ere thine old realm in darkness lay.

TO THOSE WHO TAKE PILLS.

Many people, troubled with Costivene..,
Indigestion, Headache, &c, are constantly
dosing themselves with Pills, Seidlitz Wa

lasting benefit. Now, the fact is, all that
these purgatives accomplish, is to evacuate
from the bowels the watery element from
the blood. No permanent relief is OBJ

fact that the bile is still left circulating

these difficulties, take RAILWAYS REG

the Liver, and will eliminate from the
blood all its Impurities, and will purge
from the system all. morbid and corrupt
