The Great Race.

Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, Jr.,
like a certain noble poet, has " woke
up" in English waters to " find him
self famous" His yacht, the Hen
rietta, will gather as generous a crop
of Iaurels over there as her illustri-
Gus predecessor, the America, did,
some years ago-while the fact that
the Duke of Edinburgh Zone of the
royal family, has accepted the chal-
lenge of her owner to run a race
around the Isle of Wight, is another
feather in his cap--and one, the wear
ing of which, no one should grudge
him-for his enterprise, pluck and
courage have certainly won it. Thus
much may be said of him, without any
disparagement of his equally enter
prising and equally daring associates,
the Vesta and Fleetwing. The sad
loss of life which attended the voy-
age of the last mentioned vessel, is
the only cloud that overshadows what
must necessarily be considered one of
the most remarkable nautical feats on
record,

Woods and Wooden.

The New York World attributes
the decrease in the demand for wool
en- gods to the inability of the peo-
PIE tc buy. Says that paper: How
shall the prices of wool and wooden
goods be improved? In the first
place, withdraw the unhealthy stimu-
lous n the shape of protection %
which has brought affairs to the pres
ent ulfavorable state. By applying
more stimulous, more protection,
more disastrous collapse will be made
certain in the near future. Let the
farmers send their surplus sheep to
the Slaughter pens, and turn portion
OF their sheep pastures into fields of
grain Give the middle classes of the
cities and large towns food at some
thing less than double the old prices,
and they will soon be able to buy
goeGs in sufficient quantities to clear
the present surplus off the market,
thus enabling the leading manufac-
turers to resume their operations with
a reasonable certainty of moderate
profit. But even here curtailment
must be expected. The inexperienced
and financially weak must expect to
go down in crisis like this.

LegaI TautOlOgT.

There are. probably no absurdities
that hang on with such persistency as
legal absurdities.. Those of medicine
and theology have been overcome
with great ease, as compared with the
obstinacy of the lawyers in holding
on to their nonsense. If any. one ever
had anything, to do with them, either
in or out Of court, he has been struck
with the utter corruption JOf good
English rhetoric In all their papers.
Listen to the reading of an indictment,
for example, and count the time vast
ed in a most irrational verbosity.
Still, there has been some improve
ment during the past century. There
is room for much more reform in their
profession, and even at this day we
may hurl at the lawyers the following
hit from Steele's comedy: Il hope"
says the lawyer, in that comedy,
/ : to see the day when the indentures
shall be. the exact measure of the
land that passes by it; for it is a dis
couragement to the gown that every
ignorant rogue of an heir should in a
word or two understand his fathers
meaning, and hold ten acres of land
by half an acre of parchment. Let
others think of logic, rhetoric, and |
know not what impertinence, but
mind their Tautology. What is the
first excellence in lawyer? Tautolo-
gy. What's the second? Tautology.
What's the third Tautology; as an
old pleader sai6 of action"

AntiauLtY of London.

Nineveh, Babylon, Ephesus, Thebes,
Carthage, Athens, and many other
once famous cities, have passed away.
The Eastern sun still shines, but
shines not upon their lofty towers
and gates Of brass. Their magnifi-
cent structutes-the admiration of
the world-ln buried in ruins; their
kings and rulers have alike gone
down to oblivion; and searcely a land
mark is left to pointwith authenticity
to their history Yet, what was then
but an incolsiderable village has been
gradually growing for upwards of
three thousand years, and is now the
rich and proud metropolis of the
greatest empire on earth. While
Nineveh, Babylon and Rome were yet
fourishine in all their splendor,
London vas only small collection
of rude dwellings,, built of waited
sticks, phstered with mud, and
matched With straw. It was origin
ally called Ludgate, and according to
Stowell, the historian, was built
about twelve hundred years before
Christ-robably on the site of what
still goes by the name of Ludgate
Hill. 1t was in triangular form,
and when Caesar made his first de-
scent up1n the island of Britain, the
city of ludgate contained about ten
THOUSAND inhabitants, and was place
OF considerable commerce.

A LIE AND A FALsEHooD.-Fuller,
in his Church History, illustrates the
difference between a lie and false
hood as follows! Let me add that
though it be lie in the. clock, it is
but a-falsehood in the hand of the
dial when pointing at the wrong hour,
if rightly following the direction of
the wheel that moyeth it. And the
fault is not mine if / truly cite what
islfalse on the credit of another"
" 1t follows from this that there is a
well-founded distinction between say
ing of a man, he lies, or he tells a
falsehood for by the former we
charge him with originating what he
knows.to be untrue, and in the other
of only circulating what is not true on
the credit of the liar, whom he mis-
takes for truth-teller.

induced to buy two bottles of the Ameri-
can Life Drops, through the high recon-
mendation OF them by q friend, as always
curing DipChefia, Coughs, Colds, Sore
Throat, DronchTtis, &c. My son, sixteen
years of age, was ealzen suddenly i'll with
Diptheria, and could scarcely speak or

Were much alarmed, but decided to try the
Life Drops, before calling q physician. By
using the Drops according to, direction, he
was soon relieved, and the disease entirely
broken up. L let friend, suffering with
Rheumatism, have one of the bottles. He
says the Life Drops gave immediate relief,
and are the best medicine he ever used. A
family near him, suffering from Colds and
liberated Sore Throat, used some OF his,
and were cured in a short time. Since
then let my brother, physician, have
part of mine, and with which he cured a
bad case of Diptheria.> He is constrained

Irregularities. IL
r HAVE TESTED THESE DROPS
u in my own practice, over ten years.
and do not hesitate to say that nothing
has been developed by medical research
that acts SO powerfully, positively, and
harmlessly, in cases OF female irregularity,
as does this medicine. In all recent cases
it never fails, while thousands who have
been long sufferers are indebted to it for
the boon of health to-day.
Although so powerful and positive, they
are perfectly haEnless, and may be used at
all times, except when specially forbidden
in the instructions.
To all who suffer from any irregularity,
painful, difficult, excessive, offensive, or
INSTRUCTED menstruation, Leucorrhoea, or
the train of diseases that follow, would
say, try a bottle of DIR. Lyons French
periodical Drops. Being a fluid prepara-
ton, their action is more direct and posi-
tive than any pills or powders. Explicit
directions, bearing my facsimile accom-
pany each bottle.
They may be obtained of nearly every
