H. to remain in your system, dis6gur-
- ing your face and body, besides
+ @Ee' destroying your happiness and fu-
ture prospects of life. He has made Private Dis
eases and Nervous Debility his study for the past
twenty years, and is therefore the person whom
all afflicted should consult. No one ever heard
of patient of his not being cured since he has
been in this city. His reputation has vouchers in
all the city papers, his patients and the medical
profession, both here and abroad, as being the
most skilled specialist here, and thorough mas
ter of all sexual diseases. If all others fail don't
despair, give him a cell. 1t is only a common oe-
currence with him to cure such cases. His rooms
are separate for ladies and gentlemen, and the
most complete in the city.
You've Man, TAKE PARNcULAR NorIcE.-Dr.
Bigelow devotes much of his time to the treat
ment of those cases caused by a secret habit,
which ruins both body and mind, uniting the
unfortunate individual for either business or socie
ty. The sad effect of these early habits, of the
excess Of ripper years. is to weaken and debilitate
the constitution. destroy the physical and mental
powers, diminish and enfeeble the natural feel
ings. and exhaust the mental energies of man
hood; the pleasures of life are marred the object
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself
rendered a term of unceasing misery and regret.
Such persons, especially those contemplating mar
riage. should lose no time in making immediate
applications, as DR.. B., by his new treatment, is
enabled TO insure speedy and permanent cure.

FRANCE ARMING.-The Saturday Review, a
leading organ of English sentiment, is dwelling
with evident anxiety upon the ominous fact that
with professions of peace upon his lips, and ex-
pressions of good will towards all the powers of
Europe, the Emperor of France has, neve' the;ess,
announced his intention "of raising the French
army to the enormous :otal Of a million and
quarter of armed men. Ostensibly, this huge
force is said to be for the protection of France,
and to ward off invasion. But this deceives no
one, as there is no Likelihood of France being inva-
ded. All the world is that the real object of
the Emperor is to provide himself with an army
of ofenee-an army which would place him at the
head ofEurope and make him as much the arbiter of
its destnies as he was before the battle of "Sado
wa"

PAYING PEOPLE TO MIND THEIR OWN BUsI-
NEss.-Every now aud then see it announced,
(says the Norfolk Day Book.) that delegation
of silk manufacturers, or of cotton spinners, or
of iron monge-s. or of wool growers. or some
other trade have been on to Washington and
have had a solemn consultation with some high
Tariff member of Congress, which has resulted in
a recommendation for more protection. The
simple meaning of all this is, that various trades
modestly require the Government to pay them
for attending to their own business. How long
the tax paying consumers will submit to this ar
rangement it remains for the future to decide; but
we fancy the day is not far distant. when this
false philosophy of protection. will be Indignantly
repudiated by the people of the country.
The duty on iron. for example, is tax levied
on every man, woman and child. in the United
States. The farmer pays it in the purchase of
his agricultural implements. the householder in
his kitchen ware and cutlery, the artisan in his
tools, and the traveller in the steamboat or loco
motive, which bears him along.
We might multiply instances to show how
capital is devouring labor; but we have said'
it viii be long before the people will make this
discovery Cor themselves. and demand the aboll-
ton of this restrictive system which benefits the
few at the expense of many.
