Peto gave in New York the other day, two
hundred and fifty guests were present, and
the dinner cost about S25,00O, Just 500 for each

price of some of the brands, the Imperial Tokay
for instance, was $50 per bottle.

A Broken-Down system.

There is disease to which the doctors give many
names, but which few of them understand 1t is
simply weakness "a breaking down the vital forces
Whatever its causes, land they are innumerabe its
symptoms are in the main the same. Among TIE
most prominent extreme lassitude, loss of appe-
tte loss OF flesh, and great mental depression. In
digestion and Stomach Cough are also frequently
concomtants of this distressing state of body and
mind. The common remark in relation to persons
in such condition is, that they are consumptive.-

L !. q sf u B d f.
A Nevada editor, writing amidst the hills
and wild mountain scenery of that isolated
State, discusses JEFF. Davis and his merits after
this STYLE We confess that to our judgement,
he eondenses great deal of common sense in
to a very small space:
The highwaymani shoots down and ri
hes his victim. He is arrested, trieL and hang
cd tor his offense, committed upon a single
individual, and we applaud the law that for
our protection hangs the culprit. We have
now the robber of the million, whose riiing
has been Territories, with their cities, towns,
lakes, rivers, mountains and valleys, and shall
he, by reason of the very magnitude of hi S
crime be the subject of executive clemency
Shall we merely Danish him from the country
and call it adequate justice, or any other jus
tice at all Ifso, why send troops of cavalry
after him +? Why not have allowed him to
consummate his fight and sport his ill-gotten
cams IN some foreign country instead of ar
resting him; and by sympathizing decree,
transport him, full ofnotoriety, at Government
expense, where he would have been pleased to
have gone an1 paid his own transportation I
Out upon such twaddle Let the country
show that it has for this emergency back
bone, and comply with those just remarks of
PRESIDENT Johnson, when speaking of rebel
leaders: "Try them for treason, and III they are
convicted, by the Eternal, hang them"
