Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Apue,

tho Malaria OF NIiasnantic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints

where these allctng disorders prevail. This
"CuRE" expels the miasmatic poison of FEVER
AND AGUE from the system, and prevents the de-
veopment OF The disease, il taken on the first ap-
proach Of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for dollar brings it within the
reach OF every body and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGuE prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec-
tion. great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure OF lntemittents is that it contains Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no qunsm or
other injurious effects whatever upon the consti-
ton. Those cured by il are left as healthy as If
they had never had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence oi
the miasmatc poison. A great variety of disor-
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, Rheumatisna, Cont, Headache, Blind
ness, Ioothache, Eardche, Catd,Th, asthma, Pal
pitatlon, Pdinfm ABcction ofhe Spleen, Hystey-
ics, Pain an tie Bo'cels, Cole, Paralysis and De-
rangenieh Of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This "CURE" expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. 1t is an invaluable protection TO
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarous districts. Iftaken occa-
sionay or daily while exposed to the Infection
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to rpen into dis

ton than cure, and few will ever suffer from Inter
mittents il they avail themselves of the protection
this remedy affords.

RATHER CONFUSED Mr. Noseblossom
drank rather more than his usual allowance
of hot rum and sugar, one cold night last
winter; in consequence of which he gave
his wife the following confused account of
his conduct on his return home:

my head went into the punch, though !!

An Unlucky Thief.

Lanlirade stole from the French Bank
100000 francs. After he absconded, he
saw an officer in every one he met, and he
tancied that the Custom House officials
might think his possession of this sum a
little suspicious. He, therefore, bought six
pocAe handkerchiets, 10 one he placed 30,
900 francs. aud then folded it in the other
handkerchief, in such a manner as to make
little packet. The rest he kept in his
pocket. The package was hy his side on
the railway carriage while passing from Do
yer to London and on reaching London he
got Qua 50 ilistiIyas to leave it there. Three
minutes after he discovered his mistake and
returned; he found the carriage but missed
the package. He then left England for
New York with no more than $50, 600 francs.
There his lawyers took ffty-six thousand
francs out of him at two strokes They
made him pay once more to the tune Of
10000 francs and NJ Meline captured 100
600 francs when he arrested him. With
the remainder he paid his personal expen-
se5 and contrived to achieve his escape He
made the return voyage without cent of
money in his pocket.

The Use of the Arms in Walking.

The first time you are walking with your
arms at liberty, stop moving them, and hold
them by your sides You will be surprised
to find how soon your companion will leave
you behind, although you may hurry, twist,
wriggc and try to keep up. Oue reason for
the slow walk among girls is to be found in
this practice of carrying the arms motion
less. Three miles an hour with the arms
still is as hard work as four with the arms
free. L have seen the queens of the stage
walk. | have seen few girls and women OF
queenly bearing walk in the streets and
drawing room. They moved their arms in
free and graceful manner. Could this
habit become universal among girls, their
cheeks would enlarge. and their bearing be
greatly improved See that girl walking
with both hands in her muff How she
wriggles AMI twists her shoulders, &c.
This is because her arms are pinioned. Give
them free swing, and her gait will soon be-
come more graceful You have seen pic
part of the body, you remember, spread out
from the shoulder in all directions, like
fan. Now, if you hold the shoulder still,
the muscles of the chest will shrink, the
shoulders stoop, and the whole chest becomes
thin and ugly. But some girls will say,
swinging the arms must be very slight ex-
ercise" True, it is very slight if you swing
the arms but once or ten times, but if You
swing them ten thousand times in day you
will obtain more exercise of the muscles of
The chest than by all other ordinary move
ments combined. Indeed, if l were asked
what exercise | thought most effective for
developing the chests of girls, | should re-
ply at once, swinging the arms while walk

horse to the shed and then filled the wagon
with loose hay. Meanwhile the owner Of it
called for u basin and soap; and after wash

himself dry on 'seedy clean towel, laid
down his cent and was moving off,

take drink before you go?"
"Well, seein' it you, | don't care if l
do, was the reply and back he went and
took drink
You don live in these parts, I believe,

"Peaos" in Arkansas.

The Rebels carried everything before
them in the late Arkansas election, and they
are already enjoying ''the spoils OF the vic
,Ory." Tile Fort Smith Ne,o Era of Sept.
sth, says:
About the time Sheriff Williams was
killed in Pope county, couple OF weeks
ago man named Ray, who had been sol
der in the % Arkansas (Union) cavalry,
was most barbarously murdered in the same
county, under the following circumstances
Several men rode up to Rays house late in
the evening, and inquired if they could have
supper Ray told them that his wife was
very sick, but he would do what he could for
them. Whcreupon he himself prepared a
meal for them, and they partook of it. Sup
per over and their horses fed, the bush
shackers for such. they were, asked Ray
what they had to pay. He Hospitality re-
fused compensation.
What followed is of nature so diabolical
and heart-rending as almost TO stagger be-
lief The fiends then coolly told Ray that

to die Immediately, accusing him of having
killed friend of theirs during the war.
Horror struck Ray plead for his life. for the
sake of his poor wife, who was couined to
her bed helpless invalid. But the mon
sters knew no mercy, and, as one or them
was about to fire, the wife sprang out of her
bed and pl;ced herself before her husband,
begging with all the fervor of devoted
vile, under circumstances so dreadful, for
her husband life But in vain The saw
age removed one of her arms from her bus
band and fired, shooting the man Whose
only crime WAS to be Union man and an
eI- Union soldier, through the body. Break
ing away from his wife, he staggered across
the room, trying, perhaps, to escape, but
fell dead after receiving three more shots
Tne assassin then fred off the remaining
two charges of his revolver in the room, and
then the whole party left.
No arrests have been made, nor viii there
ever be. The murderer, beflre he killed
Ray, confessed he did not know anything of
him, but that he WAS Unioa man, and
Union men could not live there
Since writing the above, We learn that two
other Union men were killed in the same
county, one of whom was Capt. Dodson,
late of the 4,h Arkansas (Uniou) Cavalry.
The Rebels attempted to kill Capt Wood,
but he got out OF their way.
There can be no doubt that there is an
o'ganized band of rebel cut-throats in that
part Of the State, who do the bidding of
their masters with terrible fidelity

The Grand Dnke OF Hesse Darmstadt is
one of the biggest men in all Germany. He
cannot be far from six and half feet; he is
further proportionatey fat. He has really a
mighty body, and his legs are not out OF pro-
portion. As to his feet and ankles, the less
said the better Beef to the 'eel," as the
folks say in the north of England. When he
walks he waddles and makes one think he
must have had ''dhrap too much" His
face is not at all unhandsome; indeed, but
for its meaningless expression and pufiness
it would be handsome. Mischievous people
say that before the annual review of the
troops, at which he is compelled, as Com
mander-in chef, to ride horse, he has his
war steed put on short allowance of corn so
as to prevent It's being frisky and SHORTY.
