The symptoms Of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons find they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more
sensitive to the change Of temperature In
this condition the nose may be dry, or a
slight discharge, thin and acrid, afterwards
thick and adhesive, may ensue.
AS the disease becomes chronic, the dis
charges are increased in quantity and
changed in quality they are now thick
and heavy, and are hawked or coughed off.
The secretions are offensive, causing bad
breath ; the voice thick and nasal the eyes
are weak the sense Of smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symp-
tom Of Catarrh is that the person is obliged
to clear his throat in the morning of slick
or;slimy mucous, which has fallen from the
head during the night. When this takes
place, the person may be sure that his dis
ease is on its way to the lungs, and should
loose no time in arresting it.

arrh symptoms. Write to our Laboratory

A Puzzled Darkey.

r. A Southern correspondent relates
the following, and calls it true
yarn +:
A good story is told of a scene
which lately took place between a
freedman and a Dutch lieutenant,
who was acting in the capacity of a
Provost Marshal. 1t seems that
the Teuton officer, representing the
majesty of the United States, keeps
on hand, in order to make his Office
pay, a small stock of tobacco and
ginger-cakes, to sell to the freedmen.
One day a strapping darkey pokcd
his head in at the door and asked:
"Whar is dc massa provost?'
"Vell, vat you want % demanded
the Dutch lieutenant.
"Well, I quit working down dar
on dat place. said Cuffee.
''And vot tie twyfl you quits for: -
cnquired the officer.
why. you sec, massa, deys onny
glib me one-eight oh de corn, and
ober on de odder place dar, dey gibs
one-sixteenth."
Come in here, you tam black
skin,'' said the officer. Now you
buys these two shinger-cakes for
twenty-five cents, and Eat is sheap.'
Cuffee pays down the quarter.
"Vell now, look here nit you, "
continued the officer. Il cuts dis
shinger-cakc in eight pieces ; You

with broad grin.
"Vell, den, l cuts dis oder shin

''Yes, sah."

The following is translation OF a
passage from 4 Persian poet:
The heavens are a point from
the pen Of Gods perfection; the
world is a bud from the bower of HIS
beauty; the sun is a spark from the
];olt of His wisdom and the sky is
4 bubble on the sea of His power.
His beauty is free from the spot OF
sin hidden in TIE thick veil of dark
ness He rtade mirrors of the atoms
Of the world, and threw reflection
frcul His own face on every atom.
He who thinks no man above him.
but for his virtue. none below him
but for his vice, can never be ohse-
ouious or assuming in a wrong place,
but will frequently emulate men IN
stations below him, and pity tsose
nomiually over his head.
To be dcxtrous in danger Is
virtue but to court danger is a
weakness.
No man has right to do as he
pleascs, except when he plcases to
do right.
The papers record the case Of a
young girl in Maine whose blood
changed to sugar. We know some
girls out this way who are all
sugar.

An Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The, Sr.
preme Court of the United States this
morning decided the case of Rachael A.
Nolan and others, as the Board Of Asses
sors of the city of Albany, defendants
in error, at the suit of Adam Van Allen,
plaintiff, in error, and other cases.
The question presented was whether
the shares of the stockholders In the
banking associations created under the
acts of Congress, which provides for the
creation of National banks, can be sub
jected to taxation by State authorities.
Associate. Justice Nelson delivered
the opinion of the court, holding
that shares held by individuals were not
part of the capital of bank and must
be regarded as personal property OF
shareholders, and as such subject to tax.
alton by the State within the provisions
of the act of Congress, but the judgment
of the court below must be reversed on
the ground that there was discrimina-
ton between the shares of these banks
and the capital stock of the State banks.
Chief Justice Chase read q minority
opinion that not. being able to concur
that State had the power. claimed,
which was an indirect mode of taxing
the National securities which. was not
authorized or intended.
In the cases of Cutting, Fisk and 9TH
ers, the court held that broker is
chargeable on purchase of securities
made on his own account and for his
own. benefit, the same as on his COM
mission when purchasing for others.

ric states that it required no cultivation
after the seeds were planted. Upon
