however, it was discovered floating on the

Mr.. Smith was dipatched to convey the in

AN ABYsINIAN KING.-A Frenchman has
written description Of Theodore, the Abysin-
ian, from which we copy the following para
graph:
"He is theatrical, fakerer, as say the Abys-
inians. 1t is just tie shade which the great
Latin comic writer renders by gloriosus--
When he gives audience to strangers, to chiefs
who come to make submission, he leans neg
ligently on two magnificent tame lions, while
two others roll, cape or stretch at his feet /;
and he enjoys, like child, the emotion
which these formidable living decorations in

CoNsANaUINEops MARRIAaEs.-The N
Y. Times says:
ga French savan has been making some
new Investigations, in one Of the Communes,
as to the effect Of consangnineous marriage in
producing disease and idiocy in the offspring.
His researches were in a locality which fur
nished large opportunity for observation, and
he infinitely Investigated the history and cir
cumstances Of forty families resulting from
such marriages. He has prepared tables to
show that neither vices Of conformation, in
sanity, idiocy, cretinism, oeafmuteness, nor
epilepsy existed among any cf those families
and he has come to the conclusion, that the
dangers Of consanguine marriages result from
an intensiication of any morbid hereditary
tendencies thatmay exist in each parent, while
if each be perfectly healthy, the fact of con
sanguinity counts for nothing The subject
is one regarding which our knowledge is very
Imperfect and in which anything like scien
tifc Investigation is very limited. Though
OF great Importance to the human race, it il

GOOD HealLn Wullc your UlOOu is

impurities; it expes disease and restores health
and stimulates the organs of life into vigorous &C
ton. Hence it rapidly cures variety of CON-
plants which are caused by impurity of the
blood, such as ScrofttId, or Kings Ecil, Tunaors,
Ulcers, Sores E,uptiors, PimpIes, Blotches, BoiLs

Whites, Steriky, also Syphtllis or Ve,sereaI Dis
eases. Liver Complaints, and Heart Diseases. Try
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, and see for yourself the
surprising activity with which it cleanses the
blood and cures these disorders.
During late years the public have been misled
by large bottles, pretending to give quart of
Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of
these have been frauds upon the sick, for they
not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparila. but
often no curative ingredient whatever Hence,
bitter disappointment has followed the use of the
various extracts of Sarsaparilla which food the
market, until the name itself has become synon-
ymous with imposition and cheat. Still we call
this compound "Sarsaparilla," and intend to sup
ply such remedy as shall rescue the name from
the load of obloquy which rests upon it. We
think we have ground for believing it has virtues
which are irresistible by the class of diseases it
is intended to cure. We can assure the sick that
we offer the best Alternative we know how TO pro-
duce and we have reason to believe, it is by far
the most effective purifier of the blood yet
discovered.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL is so universally
known to surpass every other medicine for the
cure of Coughs, Colds Influenza, Hoarseness,
Group, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, and
for the relief of Consumptive Patients in advanced
stages of the disease, that it is useless here to re-
| count the evidence of its virtues. The world
| knows them.
