LYONS PERIODICAL DROPS.
The Great Female Remedy for Irregular



/ have tested these drops in my own practice
over ten years, and do not hesitate say that
nothing has yet been developed by medical re-
search, that acts so powerfully, positively, and
harmessly, in cases of female irregnlarty as does
this medicine. In all recent cases it never fails
while thousands who have been long sufferers, are
indebted to it for the boon of health to-day.
Althoughso powerful and positive, they are
perfectly harmless, and may bs used at all times
except when specially forbdd en- in the dire ctors.
They have been extensively employed by emf
nent physicians in France and England, well -
in my own practice, over ten years, and l have
yet to hear of the first instance of failure.
could give you testimonials of their efficacy from
ladies all over the northern and western States,
were they not in their nature private. Over l00,-
900 bottles have been sold the past year, and
hope and trust as many sufferers have been bcue-
fitted. am well aware that a remedy so pote Mt
to remove all distractions, may be used for bad
purpose, but trust that where enc bottle is thus
useed, ten may fall into the hands of really needy
sufferers.
To all who suffer from any irregularity; pain

Menstruation, Lucorrhea, or the train of diseases
that follow, would say, try bottle OF DR.. Ly-

General Orders No. 9.
After four years of arduous SER
vice, marked by unsurpassed cour-
age and fortitude, the Army of
Northern Virginia has been COM
PEELED to yield to overwhelming
numbers and resources.
| need not tell the brave survi-
vors of so many hard fought bat
ties, who have remained steadfast
to the last, that / have consented
to this result from no distrust of
them. But feeling that valor and
devotion could accomplish nothing
that could compensate for the loss
that would have attended the con-
tinuance of the contest, deter
mined to avoid the useless sacrifice
Of those whose past services have

BY the terms of the agreement,

homes and remain until exchanged.
You will take with you the salts
faction that proceeds from the con-
sciousness.of duty faithfully per-
formed, and | earnestly pray that
a merciful God will extend to you
his blessing and protection.
With unceasing admiration of
your constancy and devotion to

A man named Scott, a resident
of New Jersey, has been so fool
ish as to expend about forty thou
sand dollars for tickets in Kentucky
lotteries, which he bought of the
reported agents of those lotteries
in New York. Finding that the
investments were by no means
profitable, and believing that he
had been cheated into the bargain,
he had Ben Wood, the proprietor
ofthe New York News, John Nor
rissey, the gambler, aud three or
forr other less notorious persons,
arrested for fraudulently obtaining
his money. They were held to
bail in one thousand dollars each

A Word to Advertisers.

1t was the remark of a very en-
inent citizen, says the Memphis
Commercial, that he regarded an
advertisement in paper as per-
sonal invitation to him to call, and
| added: "That I sometimes hesi-
tate about entering a store the
proprietors of which have not
thus sent their cards to my resi-
dence. / alway feel certain of a
cordial welcome from the members
of any advertising firm" There
is in this remark an assurance of
one of the many results of adver-
tising. The trader and his calling
become identified, and the name
of a man is inseparably connected
in the mind of the public with his
merchandise. 1t may not be the
very day-an advertisement appears
that bears its fruits; weeks or
months may elapse, and then when
the want arises, the article to be
obtained Immediately suggests the
advertiser. This is the effect of
general advertising when persist
emily followed.
The object which all aim to ac-
complish in advertising is an in
crease in business. The nimble
shilling is what we require in this
age. 1t costs very little more in
the way of expense to carry on a
business of two hundred thousand
dollars than it requires to do half
of that amount. The cost OF rent,
personal living, and many incident
al expenses, do not increase the
ratio of business, while time is
saved, for there is greater profit re-
sulting from trade of two hundred
thousand in one year, than from
the same amount, and even more,
extended twice the space of time.
These simple facts are well known
by energetic business men, who
adopt advertising as the most pow
erful method of saving time, by
increasing business, and thus ma
king capital doubly active. In
deed it is often made substitute
for actual capital.

A young member of the bar
thought he would adopt a motto
for himself, and after much rehec-
ton, wrote in large letters and
posted up against the wall the fol-
lowing:-"S,sasm Quique," which
may be translated, ''let every one
have his own" A country client
coming in, expressed himself much
gratifed with the maxim, but ad-
ded, ''yon don't spell it right"
Indeed! Then how ought it to
be spelt?" The visitor replied,
"Sue 'em quick"

States wherein Negroes vote

The Albany Argus, in a COM
prehensive statement of the exist
| ing condition of this question in
different States denies the truth
of statement lately made by
Worcester paper, that negroes vote
in Massachusetts on paying a poll
tax.
There are only two States in
the Union where the negroes are
allowed to vote without property
qualification. They are Vermont
and New Hampshire, the former of
which has eight negro voters and
the latter one hundred and nine
ty.
In Massachusetts, every voter
must, within two years, have paid
a State or county tax unless ex-
cused from taxation.
In Rhode Island a voter must
own real estate Of one hundred
and thirty dollars value, or of the
clear yearly value of seven dollars
over any ground rent.
A colored person is not allowed
to vote in New York unless he has
resided in the State three years,
and is a freeholder in value of two
hundred and fifty dollars, and paid
taxes thereon.
Massachusetts, which does not
at home allow any man to vote
who does not pay a State or coun-
ty tax direct, for they all pay it
directly, is very desirous that the
Southern States shall allow ne
groes to vote without such dis
elimination. She goes in for uni
versal black suffrage at the South,
while denying it to the poor whites,
at home. This is Massachusetts
philanthropy, or preference for
negro to white.

The Horrors of a Night
Ride in a Stage Coach.

The San Francisco Bulletin has
the following: "One day last
week, as the Los Angeles and San
Jose stage coach was travelling in
the night between San Luis Opis-
po and Santa Barbara, an incident
occurred which produced anything
but pleasant impression among
the passengers. A lady was oc-
cupying one of the front seats, and
the whole company had been talk
ing and singing in the most So
ciable manner. After a time the
lady settled down as if to 60 to
sleep, and one of the gentlemen
passengers asked her if she would
have a pillow under her head.
She made no reply, and the COM
pany indulged in another song.
As the song ceased one of the
passengers opened the curtain so
as to let in the moonlight, and
looking down at the face of the
woman, exclaimed, why, can it
be that she sleeps with her eyes
open?' Another passenger placed
his hand upon her forehead and
cried out, .'She is dead! The
stage was stopped, and the inani-
mate, pulseless form of the lady
was carried out into the open air.
She was deathly cold, and her face
was wet with cold sweat supposed
to gather only on the face of the
dying. After so long time pas
sing that all hope of life was CIV
en- up, she recovered under the
vigorous ribbing with whiskey in
which all the passengers engaged,
and the journey was finally resum-
ed. 1t turned out that the lady
was afflicted with heart disease,
and had the discovery of her con-
dition been delayed a little longer,
she would have been past all hui
man aid"
