CHOLERA PREVENTIVE!
b Y. IsG6. l..
THE GREAT ZINGARI BITTERS.

- HIS WONDERFUL REMEDY was discov-
cred and introduced about twenty years
ago BY DR.. ). Cheopuns, an eminent Egyptian
phyAcian, g. se-
rsfie had long seen and felt the want Of some
rnedy which would strike at the root Of dis
ease. and 80 prevent much OF the suffering
which the human family was then compelled to
endure,
The great question was presented 10 his mind
eyery day IN vivid coiors As he moved among
the sick and dying. aud observed the inehcien-
cy of nearly all the remedies then in use. Thus
he was lead TO think and experiment and after
ten years Of atudy aud labor he presented to
his feilow man the wonderful Zngari nittcrs.
The effect OF thi. preparation IN the prevention
and cure OF disease. was so marvellous aud a.
tonishing. that the most iattering marks OF
royal favor were bestowed upon him who dis.
covered 1t. His name was placed upon the
Roll OF Mobiles, and gold medal with the fol-
lowing incriptinn--Dr. :. Cheopsus. the Public
Benciaetor-,was presented 10 him by the Vice
roy.
The preparation h,s been used in several
epidemics OF cholera, both as a preventive and
curative measure, and With such great success
that II has been introduced into nearly all the
general hospitals of the old world.
The old saving that an ounce OF prevention
Is worth pound Of cure, applies with marvel.
lous force 10 cholera, and therefore any remedy
that will protect US against this terrible disease
should be freely and persstoDtly used.
All Psychologists now agree that the cholera
poison acts on the system through the blood,
and that any combination which acts on the
excretory organs and keeps them in working
order, mus, prevent sufficient accumulation
Of the poison ts exert il. terrible effects the
organism. This is true not only of cholera, but
Of nearly all other msladea, especially the dif.
ferent forms Of fcvcrs.
The Zingari Bitters is just such remedy as
the above conditions require. Ii acts on the
organs II excrction and secretion, keeping up
q perfect balance between them. This Bittcrs
is composed entirely of roots and herbs, 80
nicely concooied thai every organ is acted upon
and put In tone It's taste is pleasant and IL
effects prompt aad lasting.
Numerous cases Of the following diseases
have been cured by it; Cholera, DiarrhGa,
Typhoid REd Typhus Fever, Fever, Aguc. Ncr'

Guy Fawkes in South Americana Gun
powder Plot in MonteYido,

The London NegS publishes an ac-
count compiled from official documents
of singular gunpowder plot at Monte
vido:
1t was discovered by the statement OF
a German that another German, Pau
Newmayer, had offered him two hundred
dollars for one nights work in digging
under an old house back of the govern
ment house. Newmayer told him that
he was engaged in an engineering eXper
iment," but could not tell him its nature,
unless he would pledge himself to secre'
cy. This made him suspicious. The
police authorities were at once notified,
Newmayer was arrested, and the house
was searched. In a small cellar, newly
constructed, they found two barrels OF
gunpowder, three sacks, and Rumtord /
electric multiplier in working order, and
capable, according to Mr.. Oldham, OF
the telegraph office, of igniting gunpow.
der at distance of six miles. The wall
of the cellar was broken in two places,
apparently for the purpose of driving
mines.
An English engineer undertook to push
the investigation still further. His first
work was to search the sewers for an &C
complice. whom he found in the house
drain. Following the main sewer he
found. at distance Of one hundred and
fifty feet from the cellar, an opening, IN
the direction Of the Windows of the saloon
in which the councils Of the state are held.
From this hole a mine had been driven
to within six feet Of the wall OF the saloon,
and in It we're found the tools used by the
nperator. Three persons could have
finished the mine in six or seven hours.
The prisoners accused one Captain
Beriram as their employer. he has es-
caped, il II supposed, TO Chill With
him theUfmphcated Gen. Suarez, Com.
mandanis Mancini aud Bergara, and
Senors Torres and Marquee, who were
arrested. The prisoners assert that no
one was aimed az except the Dictator,

James NJ Cavanaugh, the recently
elected Democratic delegate to Congress
from Montana is character in his way
He is an Irish. Yankee by birth, com.
bining the rollicking humor Of one
nationality with the keenness Of the

sentatives in Congress, admitted from
the new State of Minnesota, in 1859.
After serving for two years in the House,
Cavanaugh was defeated for a re election,
and becoming dsgusted with the black
look of politics in Minnesota, migrated
to Montana. Mr.. Cavanaugh was a
Douglas delegate TO the Charleston Con-
vention in 1860, and after its sessions
we're over, being himself from Lowell,
was selected to follow Ben. Butler to his
home, where he exposed to an immense
crowd, who refused Butler q hearing,
how the since famous spoons sold
out Douglas for JEFF. Davis. Butler was
hooted from the meeting, and Cavanaugh
remained the hero of the hour,--N Y.

K1citlng Scene in a New York Court.

While the examination of Dan Noble,
the prisoner in the Royal Insurance
bond robbery case, was proceeding at
the Tombs on Monday, before Judge Ho-
gan, a scene occurred which for several
minutes created the greatest sensation.
A Mrs. Gilchrist was on the witness
stand, and was undergoing a croSs'ex-
animation. with regard to her former
husband, John Keene, who the witness
testified was dead. She said he was her
second husband, and had just finished
relating the circumstances Of her mar
riage, and the subsequent death Of her
husband, when the counsel, glancing
towards the door of an ante-room,
called John Keene p and the man or
the ghost, if the witness told the truth
walked forth. The episode caused the
witness to shrink back and almost faint.
AS soon as the excitement was over, the
witness testified she had not seen her
husband for twelve years, and supposed
him to be dead. -Neo York World

S1~ The Philadelphia Ledger notes
the fact that conscience money is not a
contribution peculiar only to the United
States Treasury. The British Exche-
quer also has a conscience fund, which,
during the present year., has amounted
to $25,43 n sum large enough to pay
the salary of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. This fund, like the conscience
money contributions in the United
States, is made up principally of small
sums. 1t is very singular fact that
only the small thieves ever have pGngs
of conscience sufficiently strong to com
pei restitution; for neither in Great
Britain nor the United States do whole
sale treasury plunderers appear to be
troubled in this way.

Oxford is town of some thirty thou.
sand inhabitants; but most of the houses
are two or three hundred years old,
quaint enough, but neither pretty nor
convenient, and there is a surprising
lack of spacious and elegant residences.
But the whole tows seems but an adjunct
to the University. The University is
Oxford. Take that away-thst and its
belongings, and you would have left only
IA shabby old country village.
The University covers, believe, more
than square mile of colleges, all built
nearly upon the same psttern-one, two
or three great hollow squares Of massive
buildings, including chapel, dining hall,
chambers, recitation halls, etc. 1t is a
city of colleges, with stately churches,
great libraries, museums, all the magni
ficent appendages of the grandest uni
yersitv in the world. There is nothing
in America with which / can compare
it.. We're every college in the United
States gathered into one group, it would
not be much by the side of Oxford
Oxford is very learned, but it does not
know how old it is. 1t can't remsmber.
1t is all clear enough as far back as Al
fred the Great He lived at Oxford a
student king, and some say he found

only restored it after the destructive
incursions of the Danes. However that
