JUST So.-The Copperheads are violent.
in their hate to negroes, yet some of those
who howl about negro equality, do not
hesitate to associate with negroes to per-
petrate dirty trick. On Tuesday, two of
these nice young men, one a clerk in dry
goods house on Main Street, got a negro
into buggy with lamp in his hand, and
thus paraded the streets. The lamp had,
no doubt, been stolen from some small
boy, whom these brave heroes found alone
and unprotected, as was the case in that
instance, where a brave "Fenian," as the
Courier calls him, captured a lamp, and
over which manly achievement that paper
boasts. The respectable ladies of the city
will no doubt delight to- trade with that
genteel young salesman who parades the.
street with niger. The men who howl
most about negro equality, are the very
ones who are the most ready to associate
with them for any base purpose. = e. p.

come household word throughout the

His Worm Lozenges, in less than year
after their introduction, attained a reputa-
ton as widespread as the continent of
North America.
But the crowning glory of his life re-
manned to be attained in his latest diScov-
cry, or rather combination, for he does not
claim to be the rdiscovererf of CEDRON,'
which is the basis OF the Bitters now offer
ed to the public. That honor belongs to
the native inhabitants of Central America,
to whom its virtues have been known for
more than two hundred years. Armed
with it, the Indian bids defiance to the
most deadly malaria, and handles without
fear the most VenomOuS SerpentS. 1t is a
belief with them that while there is breath
left in the body the CEDRON is potent to,
cure, no matter what the disease may be.
While DR.. Bun is not prepared to indorse
this extravagant pretensfon, he Is never
theleSs satisfied, irons thoroughrexamin-
alton of the evidence relating to its virtues,
that as a remedy and preventive for all
diseases arising from exposure, either to
changes of weather and climate, or to the
miaSmatic Influence, it stands without
rival, and justly deserves the reputation it
has SO long enjoyed in Central America
and the West Indies. fgY TagrFaT ase-H
of symptoms, it acts more like a charm
than medicine. There is nothing in the
range of Materia Medica that can. for q
moment bear comparison with it In this
disease.
A full account of this wonderful plant
may be found in the eleventh edition of
1888.
A
Bull has been for years engaged, has just
been brought to a successful termination,
and he is now enabled to offer to the public
a combination of Cedron with other APP
proved tonics, the whole preserved in the
best quality of copper-distilled Bourbon
Whisky, which he is confident has no
equal in the world. He might furnish a
volume of certificates, but the public has
long since learned to estimate such things
at their true value. The safest plan is tor
every one to test for himself the virtues of
new medicine.
Give the CEDRON BITTERs one trial,
and you will never use any others.
1t is not necessary to publish long list
of diseases of which the Cedron Bitters are
specific, In all diseases of the Stomach,
Liver, Kidneys, or Bowels; in all Affec-
tionS of the Brain, depending upon De-
rangement of the Stomach and Bowels; In
Gout, rheumatism, and Neuralgia, and in
FEVER AND AGUE, it is destined to SUI
persede all others. 1t not only cures these
diseases; but prevents them.
A wineglassful of the Bitters taken an
hour before each meal, will obviate the ill
effect of the most unhealthy climate, and
screen the person taking 1T against dis
eases, under the most trying exposure.

Europe will increase in interest as these com
plications begin to unravel or grow more COM
plex, and We may yet have to record ere the
year is dead the commencement OF war to
which, in magnitude and Importance, the late
one win appear but a.skirmish. The solution
Of these new problems is in the hands of Bis
msrck, and he has before him grand field for
the exercise Of the able statesmanship which
he has heretofore displayed. His character, as
we have studied 1t in this country-that Of
crafty, ambitious, stubborn and decided man
does not justify the belief that he will grant
the demands Of Napoleon without war; and it
is hardly credible that the covetous Napoleon,
who has as yet got nothing, win or can with
draw his claim without resorting to the "dread
arbitrament." II Bismarck should suddenly
forget his avarice and ambition and grant, for
the sake Of policy, what Napoleon wishes, he
will certainly establish for himself q character
second to none in Europe, and at the same time
save the Continent from long and disastrous
struggle.

The Peace Prospects Of Europe-The Compli-
cations Assuming Grander Proportions.
Bismarck has carried matters with high
hand, has dictated and obtained his own terms,
has closed the doors Of his Peace Congress at
Prague to oil outsiders while settling with
Austria, has quietly swallowed up the coveted
provinces which he had conquered; and, to the
casual observer, has apparently inaugurated
new era Of peace for all Europe. The peace
treaty, to which Austria, Prussia, Bavaria and
Italy were the contracting Powers, was signed
at Prague on August %, and with it the diff
culties between the contendng Powers are tor
the present at an end. by the terms of this
treaty Austria and Bavaria are heavy losers;
Italy gets vcnetia, including the Quadrilateral;
and Prussia adds Hanover, Schleswig, Hesse-
Cassel, Hesse-Homburg, Nassau and parts of
Bavaria to herself, and becomes united from
the Baltic to the Rhine. Saxony, which WINS
overrun by Prussia in q week, has been gra-
ciously permitted to retain her nationality;
but, overshadowcd and threatened by her
suddenly powerful ncighbor, she Ia glad to
meekly and humbly offer 20 Cooperate
with the Prlssan government in all
cases." whatever that indefinite term
may specially signify. Sullen Frankfort, too,
has been forced to abandon her stubborn posi-
lion, and has at last concluded TO raise the
"1oan" demanded by Prussia. The fortress OF
Mayencc has bcen relieved, the advanced posi-.
tions of the PrussiaLs in Austria and Bavaria
abandoned, and the victorious troops ofPrince
Frederick Charles and his gallant nephew, the
Prince Royal, are marching homeward. In
deed all Europe il celebrating the return OF
peace with .fttes at St. Petersburg and Moscow,
rejoicings ut Berlin and Florence and Paris,
prayers and thanksgiving In London, and by
The granting Of more liberal forms Of govern
mcnt to her provinces by Austria.
But is II the peace OF Europe which is
secured by the treaty ofPrague: On the con-
trary, the questions now begin to assume Con-
tinentsl proportions, whereas before they
involved only the interests of q few minor
States. The treaty Of Prague settles the in-
ternal affairs Of the late combataals, but opens
new foreign complications which we imagine
will be more difficult Of solution. Already the
new status Of Prussia begins TO excite the
envy and fears of others, and already the
germs Of long dispute, perhaps long
war, can be seen in The demand OF Napoleon
FOR the old French fortrcsscs on the Rhine,
which the Holy Alliance gave to Prussia and
Bavaria, under the sanction OF those "detested
treaties of 1915" which did away with the
great Napoleon, and which the ''nephew OF his
uncle" declared he intended to annul, but which
he has as yet failed to do This and other
questions now come up for solution, and unless
the secret treaty between Bismarck and Napo-
leon settles this question by conccding the
points now claimed The real struggle is to
come The new peace prospects Of Europe
are overshadowed by a war cloud Of no mean
proportions, and which only Bismarck can
dissolve without bloodshed. Tho news from
