Remarking upon the flow of gold
to the United States, the London
Reoie'c says: The influx of gold to
the United States has continued on q
somewhat larger scale than had been
looked for, although, in fact, amount
ing to no great sum. After the enor-
nous receipts from that country, &
month or two back, it is not much to
have to return some 100000 or
.e300, 900 in two or three successive
weeks. The most satisfactory feature
in the movement is, the confidence it
shows In the permanence of peace in
America, and that, as far as the in
vestors are concerned, the renewal Of
the civil war is considered in the
highest degree remote.

The DUBLIN BANQUET To JOHN
BRIGHT. r.-The dinner rendered to the
great English reformer in Dublin has
brought out the important fact that
not only the people, but the Catholic
hierarchy and clergy, are entirely
with him i'll the movement that he
has commenced. The unanimitv
manifested in his regard by the Irish
people is a proof that the movement
that he has commenced is not consi-
dered sectional one, and that it will
speedily absorb all others. By the
time Mr.. Stephens arrives on Irish
shores, he will find that his occupa-
ton as military organizer is gone,
and that his Quaker rival has cut the
ground from under him. John Bright
is not less of a revolutionist than Ste
phens, but his ways are practical ones
and compromise no interests save
those opposed to popular progress.
Under his guidance, the Irish people
can be trained into the habit of indie
pendent political thought and action,
the only things that have been
hitherto wanting to render them
happy and prosperous.

The CANVASS OF DECEPTION. Re
ferring to the late canvass in the
Northern States, terminating in the
recent elections, the National Intel
Hgenccr says, with truth:
''There never was q canvass con-
Quoted by any party so entirely upon
false pretences as the one Just con
cluded was managed on the part Of
the radicals. BY tho obscurities Of
the much talked Of constitutional
amendment, which few understand
and fewer still are able to explain,
they sought to conceal the real
objects Of the Congressional faction.
They studiously avoided all argument
or appeals to the sober judgment Of
the people, and resorted exclusively
to bitter denunciations and passion
stirring gexhortations. In almost every
instance the radical majorities attain
ed were the result solely of the lorna
90 OF passionate excitement produced
by the lncessant declarations that the
defeat of the radical candidates would
give control of the Government into
the hands Of the rebels who had so
lately been debated by the Union
armies.
Now that the election is over, and
the radical leaders have begun to an
nounce to the victims of their dupli-
city the real purposes of the radical
party, some hope may be entertained
that sober second thought may take
the place of unreaSOnin0 passion and
prejudice, and that the people will
recognize the delusions by which
they were misled, and appreciate the
unpatriotic purposes of their betray-

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE OPENING
CHINA TO THE WORLD. Gable tele-
grams announce the concession to
Americans by the Emperor of China
OF the right to lay cable from the
mouth of the Amoor River to Shang-
hae, thus connecting that commercial
city with this country and Russia by
means Of the Collins line from San
Francisco to st. Petersburg. A few
years more of American enterprise
like that of the past decade will throw
all Japan and China open to the
world and develop an immense traffic
with those countries. Doubtless fur
ther concessions will be made by the
Chinese for interior telegraph lines,
so that the news of the whole empire
will eventually become public to all
mankind, and the Chinese wall will
be practically levelled.

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT. -
The following form of a petition to
Congress, praying for the impeach-
ment of President Johnson, is being
circulated in'Ohio for signatures:
TO the Senate o,ad House Of Repre-
Seutatires Of tie United States of
Amaerica, IN Congress assembled: The
petition of the undersigned, citizens
OF the State of Ohio, respectfully
showeth that Andrew Johnson, Presi-
dent of the United States, is guilty of
divers and sundry high crimes and
misdemeanors, and of language and
conduct utterly unworthy of his high
Office, and calculated and intended to
bring the authority of Congress into
contempt; that without the authority
of the law he has restored to traitors
the property forfeited to and owned
by the United States; that he has ap-
pointed to Offices of trust and autho-
'rity notorious traitors, contrary to
law; that he has melted to sedition,
riot and murder in the city of New
Orleans; for which crimes and mis-
demeanors your petitioners earnestly
pray that he may forthwith be i'm
peached by the House of Representa-
tives, tried by the Senate, and dis
missed from the exalted office he so
scandalonsly disgraced.
And your petitioners, as in duty
bound, shall ever pray.

The cause of fever is the contamination of
the blood by some morbiic agent The
nerves connected with nutrition and or
ganic contractility suffer alteration in their
composition. The muscles, deprived of
nervous influence, begin to waste, and this
waste produces heat. The heart is in-
creased III its sction, and the blood is rem
dered still more impure by receiving the
wasted tissues by the continued action OF
the morbid agent, as we'll as by the func-
tions of the lungs, liver and spleen being
impeded. Purify, therefore, the springs of
life, the blood. Use the ''Queen's Delight"
the great blood remedy, and all morbid
agents will be removed. The Queens De
light has cured many cases of contamina-
ton of the blood, chill and fever, typhoid
fever; cruptise fever will be prevented by
tho free use of the Queens Delight. For

BE ON THE ALERT: DANGsR Is

BE ON THE ALERT: DANGER is
AT HAND!-This has been sicklv season.
The medical faculty prophecy evil in the
future. They think pcstilencc is on the
wing for America. Suppose this to be
true, what is the best defence against it?
Redoubled nervous vigor. This is the only
protection against panic, as we'll as against
the principle of infection. Why do not
those who predict the epidemic propose an
adequate preventive? There is one-a
tonic, nervine and Alternative, competent to
shield the system against the subtle elo-
ments of disease, whether they float hither
on the winds from distant lands, or rise
like vapcr from our own soil, or are incor-
porated with the universal fluid. This one
preventive, of which there is no duplicate
among the compounds, either of the Old
World or the New, is HOSTETTER'S STO-
MACH BITTERS.
Remember that it is specific for all the
complaints which lay the system open to
visitations of deadly cpidcmics If You arc
dyspeptlc, 1t renews the vigor of your di-
gestive powers, gives you appetite and re-
stores your checrfulness. If you are
nervous, it inyigorates every fibre OF Your
nervous system, from the base Of the brain,
where it begins, to the extremities, where
it terminates. If You are bilious, it dis ci-
plinos your unruly liver and brings the
action OF that organ into harmony with
the laws of health. 1t is, in short, an in
vigorant and Alternative so powerful that
nature, with Hostetter's Bitters for her
ally, may bid defiance alike to native mala-
ria and foreign infection. If this enemy we
hear of-ths disease which is desolating
Europe-is really bound hitherward, it be-
hooves the prudent to put on their armor,
to clothe themselves with invulnerahility
as far as human means will permit, by pre-
pairing the system for resistance with this
pure vegetable antidote. Nov I6 +6

REMARKABLY ESCAPE FROM A
LIVING GRAVE. iA

A young German, recently married
to handsome lady of very respccta-
BILE parentage, was taken suddenly Ill
at his place Of business last Friday
He was placed in carriage and ta-
ken to his residence on Erie street,
where he laid in great agony until
Sunday, when the disease so prostra-
ted his physical powers that he lay
motionlcss upon the bed, while weep
ing friends surrounded the couch. To
all appeasssaces he was dead, and it..
was SO decided
Arrangements were about to be
made for the interment, when the
young wife, feeling she could not give
him up SO soon, insisted that the fu-
neral be postponed until Tuesday
morning. To crafty the woman thus
brought so speedily TO mourn the loss
of her husband, the funeral was post
poncd. The disconsoIatc wife spent
most of the day on Monday in the
same room with the corpse, weeping
as though her heart would break, and
still cinging to the idea that he could
not be dead.
Abought twilight on Monday even
ing, when everything about the house
was perfectly quiet, except when the
stiffness was broken by the sighs Of
the bercaved widow, there being but
few persons in the room, the body
seemed to move. 1t was but slight
motion, yet sufficient to arrest the
attention Of the fearful eye.
When the wife insisted that life was
not G, sinct, that the body did move,
her friends became anxious about her
reason and tried TO divert her mind
from the sorrowful scene. Two long
hours were spent in conversation, the
friends urging that she was deceived,
possibly by the pickering light, as the
shadows it cast might have produced
the effect She ascribed to vitality.
The feeling Of that litllo circle of
devoted friends is known only to
themselves and Him whose all-sceing
eye visits the inmost recesses of our
hearts. During the conversation all
eyes involuntarily rested upon tho
habilimcnts OF The grave and the fea-
lures of him whom they supposed
would soon become one of It's occu-
pants. At the end Of the two hours
another slight movement was per-
ceived by all the party. The scene
which followed can never be described.
The wife clung TO the motionless
form of her husband, alternately weep
ing and begging of him to speak just
one word, while the friends wept for
Joy, FASTENED for a physician alarmed
the servants by their strange conduct,
and prerented a scene Of confusion
generally. When the physician ar.
rived, the friends were assembled about
the LIVING man, suggesting and ap-
plying all the restoratives ever heard
OF or dreamed of by any Of the party,
while the wife, overwhelmed with JOY
and completely worn out with excess
i've excitement, had swooned away
and was lying at the side of her hus
band, in the same deatb-lilSo stiffness
that had embraced his form but a few
moments before.
The physician took the necessary
steps to restore the woman and resus
citate the man, which was speedily ac
complished in both cases, and as W.
write to-day the woman is Joyous an(
happy, while the man thinks his cs
cape from q living grave one of th'
marked features OF his liie.-tledcc

TnE END OF rHE WoRLD.-Therc !,

THE END OF THE WoRLD.-Therc is
q class of minds that is more anxioIs
to determine the period for "the end
of all things" than is either good for
themselves or others that they may
influence. Some one has put forth o.
book recently, with swellingtitle page,
pointing out Louis Napoleon as the
great ruler that is to be over ali Chris
tendon, but who is to move matters
so rapidly that the whole job is to be
through by 1874, in time for gener-
al "smash up" then of this mundane
sphere, the chapter of .Daniel, the bat
tic OF Armagcddon, etc, being pressed
into service, as usual in such cases,
for the purposes of the modern proph-
ct, But as there is little faith in this
kind of prediction, pretendedly based
on revelation, on account of repeated
failures, Partisan SdUan has under
taken scientific demonstration of the
subject, which gives the world some
what longer grace. AT the last meet
ing Of the Academy of Sciences, NJ.
Delaunay proved that the earth's mo-
tion is gradually slackening, and that
the days are thereby insensibly length
ening to the extent of q second in
100000 years! AT this rate in eight
thousand six hundred and forty mil
lions Of years the earth viii stop al
together, if it does not otherwise be
fore that period. We find thus chat
tho world is bound to come to an end
some time or other. Science and rev.
,elation both point in the same direc-
Ition. NJ. Delaunay's prophecy, how.
ever, we incline to think, will not af
feet the Paris Bourse, yet awhile, not
near so much as the Emperor Napo.
