PRINCE GEORGE.

From the Petersburg Daily News.
We understand that most Of the mills in Prince
George have been was.ed away by the freshets
caused by the present rains. This rain seems to
be quite extended, Ss we hear of it from all quar-
iers of the district.
The afternoon train from City Point was
stopped yesterday, about four miles from Peters
burg, by the washing away Of = culvert. The
passengers had TO walk to town, and as heavy
rain was failing their feelings partook little OF
either patience or piety.

The New York Tribune says, "the.reason why
brakes Plantation Btters are so universally used
and have such an immense sale, is that they are
always made up to the original standard of
highly invigorating material and of pure quality,
although the prices have so largely advanced"
etc.
The Tribune Just hits the nail on the head
The Plantation Btters are not only made OF pure
material, but the people are told what it is. The
Recipe is published around each bottle, and the
bottles are not reduced in size. At least twenty
limitations and counterfeits have sprung up
They impose upon the people once and that's the
last of them.
The Plantation Bitters are now used in all
the Government Hospitals, are recommended by
the best physicians, and are warranted to pro.
duce an immediate beneficial effect. Facts are
stubborn things.

Of law and order by re- organizing the State Gov.
ern nent upon = firm aud permanent basis in

.. That to the extent of and embracing all the

ment, and in regard TO the reserved powers only
he owes allegiance to the State Government.

On "Wednesday, March Is, the Administra.

from the fees of the ufce-2whereas' this law,
in addition to the fees thos derived, stip.
ulated that the Clerk should draw
81 500 per year from the Treasury. The
matter began TO provoke comment not the
most complimentary to the Administration
members Of the Legislature, who had been
guilty Of this piece Of unpardonable letisa-
ton, and some members began to apprehend
that in their anxiety to betriend member OF

arouse the Indignation of gulled people as
to lose their influence with them SO on
Wednesday, March 22--just one week after
its passage--the Senate reoonsidered its vote

by striking out that part of it that taxed the
treasury 81, 800 year. This is a signal tri.

An Arab Miss.

When any one entered, having a friend or
friends present whom he has not seen Tor a
long time, these would stand and embrace
each other, and generally kiss each other,
too. But their manDer of kissing is peculiar
they never kiss the lips, as we Europeans do,
but only the cheeks and shoulders. The right
cheek is first kissed, then the left, and some
times the cheeks only, but genneraliy the
shoulders also in the same manner-just as
they did in ancient times (Gea. xKxii Al XIV
Ia. 10; Luke XIV. 20) Ii is most amusing to
see Bedouins especially going through this
singular mode of etiquette During my stay
With my Arab friends in Jerusalem, had an
opportunity OF witnessing it, Two Bedouip
friends, calling upon my host, happened to
meet there one day Falling upon the neck
OF each other in turn they kissed the cheeks
and the shoulders, and then asked after the
the welfare Of their families, wishing them
peace and prosperity ia the name of Allah.
This long list of inquiries and blessing being
over, they recommended kissing and emhrac.
ing, and repeating the same questions and
wishes and so over and over again, and that
with all the sedateness and gravity imaginable
One might easily comprehend such embraces
and huggings between two dear relations or
lovers aher along separation, bat here was
