In TIE CORAL CAVES
A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after n sojourn
of few months in the city, was hardly recog-
nized by her friends. In place of a coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty three she really appeared but eighteen.-
Upon inquiry TO the cause of so great a change,
she plainly told them that she used the Clh.
CAsSIAN BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any ladys toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, as nature herself is simple, yet IN
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. BY its direct action on
the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the same and leaving the surface
as nature intended it should be, clear, SOFT smooth
and beautiful. Price 81, sent by mail or express,

An EFFEcTUAL WORM MEDrcINE.-BROWN'S
vERMIFUGE c0MFITS, Or Worm Lozenges.
Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is occasioned
by worms. The "Vermifuge Comfts,'' al
though effectual in destroying worms, can do
possible injury TO the most delicate child.
This valuable combination has been success
fully used by physicians, and found to be safe
ana sure in graduating worms, so hurtful to
children.
Children having Worms require immediate at
tention, neglect of the trouble often causes pro-
longed sickness.
Symptoms of Worms in children are often over
looked. Worms in the stomach and bowels cause
irritation, which can be removed only by the use
of a sure remedy. The combination of ingredi-
ents used in making Browns "Vermifuge Com
fits is such to give the best possible effect with
safety,

DR.. Maggieli is the founder of new medical

his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
serofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.

The New Tariff Bill.

The New York Post (rep.) takes strong
ground against the tariff bill before Con
gress, which it alleges discriminates heavily
against the mechanics and farmers of the
country in favor of the wealthy. Here are
some of its objections to the provisions OF
the bill
Thus woollen coating the cost Of which
is 81 09 per yard, are to be raised twenty
four per cent. higher but the fine and
costly qualities, the gold price of which is
s. 40, are raised only eleven per cent and
still finer qualities, of the gold cost of 50
so, are raised only ten per cent. The
coarser coatings are to pay from eighty to
one hundred and twenty per cent. in dTl-
ties, but the finer and more costly are only
burdened with from sixty five to seventy
per cent.
The same is true of carpets. The duty
on the high-priced carpets is not raised at
all that on lOW-priced carpcts is raised ten
cents per square yard, about five per cent.
In the same manner, there is no increase
on silk dress goods, which are bought by
the wealthy ; but on small articles of silk,
such as ribbons, which are used by the
poor as we'll, there is an increase of ten
per cent. High priced linens are even put
under diminished duty; they are to pay
five per cent less than now.
| The commonest kinds Of cutlery are to
pay from one hundred to two hundred per
cent dL-y; that is to say, farmers and me-
chanics, and working people generally, are
to be made pay by this atrocious tariff
twice or three times as much as the an
ticles can be imported for; for, Of course,
the home manufacturer will at once put up
his prices to the highest limit at which he
can just undersell the importer who has
these duties to pay.

West India Trade.

Our attention has been called to the sub
iect of renewal of this trade The Rail
way companies are ready to engage in the
transportation of these goods at the tOreSl
rates, to all the interior points-to Rich
mond, Petersburg, Portsmouth and all in
terror North Carolina.
Cannot our merchants draw to this city
customers in these goods ? Lumber used
to go out to pay for them, and it was the
best West India port in the United States.
Can it not be again Yes, but one more thing
is wanted-a good first-class A No. l HOTEL.
Can we not unite with capitalists from
abroad and build an edifce that will be an
ornament to the city, and have it kept so
that we need not be ashamed when we are
away from home to be asked, which is your
best Hotel ? and say with down-cast eyes, we
don't knop. We can't invite you to come
and see ETHEREAL are about alike.

keeper be set on foot plenty of money
can be had to build one and invite the 9TH

citizens and warm cooperation of the bu-
siness men. Railroad managers and peo-
ple-cOme all.

Decline OF rents at Richmond ya.

The Richmond Examiner notes decline
in rents in that city. It says
The rents of business houses have return
ed to the standard of prices before the war
We mention a few instances to show the
general downward tendency of rents The
buildings on Carey street, known as ''Conl-
mercial Block" which rented last year for
$4,000 each, are now rented for 50, 900
each. The building lately occupied by the
National Express Company, and for which
they paid Sc, 500 per annum, rented day
or two since at auction, for 81, $50 The
buildings on Fifteenth-stre which rented
in 1865 for So, 600 each, are now rented for
81, 200. The three new stores at the corner
Of Main and Twelfth-streets, which We're
held at SIS, 900 per annum remained on the
owners hands for months before one of
them was disposed of, and one is now va
cant. Two houses built on ground rents
on Carey-street were sold day or Two since
for less money than they would have rent
ed for year ago. It is safe to say that the
rents of business houses are not more than
one-third as high as they were one year
since The rents Of private residences have
declined very much, though not as much
as those of business houses We are glad
to see that these declines have taken place
believing that the property of the city will
be increased by them.

Registered Letters.

The new regulations regarding registered
letters, which are to go into effect as soon
as the instructions and blanks can be for
warded to the several postoffices, provide
that registered letters are never to be sent
direct if distributing office is located
anywhere between the place of mailing
them and their destination They are also
to be always enclosed in the registered
package envelope" furnished by the De-
partment to all postoffices. Every person
connected with the service through whose
hands registered package envelope "
shall pass In transmission, is required to
make record of the number, &c, of the
same in a book or blank sheet provided for
that purpose, and also to take a receipt for
it from the person to whom he delivers it,
in all cases where it is practicable. The
postage and fees for registered letters must
be prepaid by stamps.

Singular Recovery of Valuable Family
Plate,

A short time previous to the evacuation of Dan
vile, in 1865, a box containing valuable family
plate and other articles, valued at $4,000 was de-
posted in the Bank of Virginia in said town by
Mr. y. W. Rhodes. In the confusion attending
the evacuation the box was lost and could not be
accounted for or found, after diligent search
About nine months after the box was lost, when
all hopes offinding it had been given up, gentle:
man occupying rooms in the bank, wanting box
went into q closet wherein was slowed away a
large number CT boxes and rubbish. Not finding
one Immediately he had all the rubbish cleaned
out and to his joy, saw box which exactly suit
ed his purpose. This he pounced upon but found
it was not empty. but full and very heavy. He
opened the box, and to his surprise, found the sill
yer plate which had been given up by Mr.. Rhodes
as lost forever. 1t is supposed that the box, in
the hurry of moving the effects of the bank, had
been pushed into the closet.

The New Mania.

The mania at present (outside of political
circles) in the United States is for lotteries.
The drawings of the "Crosby Opera House"
lottery in Chicago, and the "Union Home"
lottery in New York, have excited the latent
passion for that species of gambling to the
highest degree, and the consequence is be-
ginning to be seen in the announcement of
various similar enterprises throughout the
country. One Mr. A. III. Lee, of Illinois,
who drew the Crosby Opera House and sold
it again for two hundred thousand
dollars, gravely enightens the pub
lie with a detail of the incidents which
accompanied the announcement of his good
fortune, not forgetting to state the very
important and thrilling fact that when he
first heard it he was sitting in his "long-
tailed night-shirt." He does not state
whether he kept it on or not Crosby made
by his enterprise eight hundred thousand
dollars. The "Union Home" realized
about one hundred thousand dollars by
theirs-the highest prize in the latter being
ten thousand dollars in greenbacks. There
certainly is fascination in the idea that
you have chance to step suddenly into a
fortune, even if The chance produces
nothing, and there will always be hundreds
of thousands ready to take these chances
The Spanish government is said to realize
a million of dollars every year from the
Havana lottery. A big lottery established
in each of the Southern States would be
about the surest means to pay State debts
at present; but we suppose the doubtful
morality of such an enterprise would prove
too great an obstacle to its successful es-
tabishment. In speaking of these last two
lotteries Crosby and Union House
the New York Times says
CATER two such notable successes
"we shall doubtless have hundred new
lotteries projected within the year, and
"iudging by the way the people have
poured their money into these, there i.
can excellent chance of the projectors O.
"all of them realizing fortunes. They vii
