In place OF a coarse rustic flushed face, she had
soft ruby complexion of almost marble smoothness,

Consumption Curabe by DR.. schench's
Medicine.

TO CURE CONSUMPTION, the system must
be prepared SO that the lungs will heal. To &C
conlplish this, the liver and stomach must first be
cleansed and appetite created for good whole
some food, which, by these medicines will be di-
gested properly, and good healthy blood made /;
thus building up the constitution. SCHENCk'S
MANDRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach Of all
bilious or mucous Accommodations, and by using
the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is
restored
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutri-
cious as well as medicinal, and by using the three
remedies all impurities expelled from the sys-
ten, and good, wholesome blood made, which will
repel all disease. Ifpatients win take these medi
cines according to directions, Consumption very
frequently in its last stage yields readily to their
action. Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the
liver and stomach. 1t does not follow that because
the bowels are rot eostive they are not required,
for sometimes in diarrhaa they are nece sary.
The stomach nlnst BE- kept healthy and an APP
petite created to allow the Pumonic Syrup to act
on the respiratory organs properly and allay any
irritation. Then all that is required to perform
permanent cure is, to prevent taking cold. E1er-

What Caused the Commercial Panic
= = q in EurOpetsn Ill 70 VOC

LospoS, April 9-Evehing!1 It is now
definitely known that Napoleon, deeming'
the possession Of the Luxembourg indis-
pensable for the military security of the
French frontier, not long since commenced
negotiations with the King of Holland for
the purchase of the Grand Duchy and it's.
Incorporation with the French empire, but
as the fortress Of Luxembourg, one Of the
strongest Notifications in Europe, is held
by 4 prussian garrison, and The Prussian
Government, backed by the whole of Ger
many, firmly objects 70 the transfer 9'. Of the
Duchy to France, The King Of Holland
has Withdrawn from any further negotia
tons on the subject. The Emperor Of the
French, however, insists that his PROPOSE
tons shall be carried OUT and the treaty
completed.
The national pride of France has been
deeply wounded, and wild anti Prussian
feeling has seized the country. Meantime.
while this dispute is pending, both France
and Prussia are making military prepare
tons. This threatening state Of affairs is
the cause Of the financial panic which now
exists in London. Paris, and all the prin-
cipal commercial countries of Europe Is

Our Russian Possessions.
As our readers have already been adj
vised, treaty has just been concluded be-
tween Russia and the Washington Governs
ment, by which the latter comes in posses.
sion Of territory estimated to contain $780,
900 square miles, with population con-
sisting Of Russians, Americans, Esqui:.
maux, &C., of about 10000. !, For this
vast domain the Washington Government
pays $40, 100000 in gold. Whatadvan-
tages, practically, we are to derive from
this acquisition it would be difficult at this
time to determine. Having exhausted the
natural resources of that region, Russia
seemed exceedingly anxious to sell out, and
accepted the proposition from ME-. Seward
without a moments hesitation. Probably
if we had not purchased these possessions
England would have done so; and thus ex-
tended her dominion almost indefinitely
toward the polar regions. Now, however,
she cannot expand beyond the limits Of her
present possessions. England is cheekma-
ted in her great scheme of territorial ag
grandizement, and we are the fortunate
,possessors Of this Russian elephant. 34'

telling them that they are not only inves-
ted with equal political rights, but that
they ought to claim social equality with
the whites. Of course he succeeds to some
extent in operating upon the minds of the
lower class of blacks who spend their time
in idleness about the streets of the cities !;
but, with the more sensible and indus
trious, who work for and derive subsis-
tence from their former owners, he has no
influence. They regard him in his true
light. as an oficious intermeddler and dis
turber of the peace-an impof satan, seek

between whom no enmity ought to exist,
in order that he and his party may reap a
plentiful crop of negro votes at the next
election. The enlightened and sensible
portion of the colored population under

know that the radicals only value the coll

which they can manipulate and use him as
a political tool. Let these men thus .trife

freedmen let them divert them from USE
