We know there are many who scoff at,
laugh at, ami who designate every adver-
tised remedy as "Quackery," "Humbug,"
and pronounce them worthless. Such
terms cannot be truthfully applied to the
medicinal remedies of which DR. H.T.
HelmbOld, of 594 Broadway, New York, is
proprietor. His "Fluid Extract of Buchu."
alone has stood the test of science, and vet
proved valuable. It has been subject to
the severe criticism of eminent professors
Of pharmacy, and none of such there are
but will pronounce it an excellent article,
while many there are who freely recon-
mend it as curative agent for all diseases
Of the kidneys and urnating organs ; in
addition to all this, il has been a quarter of
a century i'll existence, yet its sale is con-
stantiy being increased. There are num-
bcrless concOctiOns called Fluid Extract
of BuchU, hence our friends, in buying,
should be careful to ask for and get none
other than HelmbOld's. DIR. HeImbOld's
drug and chemical warehouse, ut 59i
Broadway, \. Y. is one of the lions OF
that gay metropolis. Such of our friends
who may be there sojOurning should not
fail to visit it. We can assure them 4
kindly welcome from the Doctor and all
his courteous emPloyecs.-E Philadelphia

~ deal with the issues Of the day,
and ignore those of twenty, ten, five
or four years ago"
So spoke Vallandigham the other
day inMahoning comfy. He attempt
ed to ignore all the issues of the past
five or six years, but the people will
not be apt to give him much assistance
in his effort to sink into oblivion the
events of the war. The war tried
men as never they were tried before;
and those who were found wanting
then are not needed now. VallaEdfg-
ham would of course like to olot out
the history of his own cafeer, and the
history of his party, since 'GI, but his
power is not equal to the task. In
vain he may cEy, "Out, damned spotG'
The spot is there, and will remain.
Aiders Of rebellion against the Gov
ernment, Vallandigham and his asso-
ciates, must bear the stigma, and the
mark will be as lasting as that set up
on Cain by the Almighty -Leb.
Star.

Democratic AstOnisIlmenf.

Dem Ocratic AstOnishment.
It is really almost incredible how
fast the widest and most visionary
schemes of the Radicals are becoming
sober facts Detroit Free Press,
(Dem.)
Yea, verify. Our attempt to make
the rebels lay down their arms and
submit to the authority of the United
States was pronounced by your party
to be "wild and visionary scheme;;"
but wild as it was, we have made it a
"sober fact" When Mr.. Lincoln is
sued his emancipation proclamation,
you said he was Fwild and Visionary"
Didn't we turn that into a sober fact?
When our Congress passed the amend
ment to the Constitution abolishing
slavery throughout the United States,
do you remember the ''hOrse-cOllar
grin" with which the Democratic par
ty greeted it? Nevertheless, it is a
very "sober fact" that, by virtue of
that amendment, freedom is the rule
to which there is no exception, all
over this broad land of ours. We are
now organizing a Republican party in
the South. Perhaps you regard that as
a "wild and visionary scheme" Yet
if you live until the first of January
next you may witness the consumma-
ton of the soberest fact of this matter
of fact age-SOuth Carolina in the IN
ion with a constitution as liberal as
that of Ohio, represented in the House
Of Congress by an unbrOken delega-
ton Of Republicans, and in the Senate
by two such men as Ben Wade, sent
there by the vote of a majority of
all her citizens, and not by the suffrage
of few aristocratic families, as in the
days of notification and secession.

Professor Agassiz on the Ques-
ton eff RACes.

Professor Agassiz has been quoted as
favoring tho views of those who assert
that the negro is only fit for slavery. He
writes an emphatic denial of this misstate-
ment, and adds:
"The only ground Lu,ay have given to
question the soundness of my views con-
cerning the different races of men, is the
opinion I have always maintained, and
which 1 still hold now, that the different
types Of the human family have an indie
pendent origin one from the other, and are
not descended from common ancestors; but
this idea do not apply to the negroes on
Iy, but to the Indians, the Chinese, the In
docs, the Australians, etc, as well. In
fact, believe that men were created in ma
tiOns, not in individuals; but not in ma
tions in the present sense of the word on
the contrary, and in such crowds as exhib-
tied slight, if any, diversity among them
selves, except those Of sex"

Beautx OF Old PeopIe.

Men and women make their own beau-
ty, or their own ugliHess. Lord LyttOn
speaks Of man "whO was uglier than he
had any business to be :" and, if he could
but read it, every human being carries his
life in his face, and is good-lOOkfHg, or the
reverse, as that life has been good or evil.
On our features the fine chisel of thought
and emotion are eternally at work. Bearty
is not the monopoly Of blooming young
men and of white and pink maids, There
is slOw-grOwing beauty, which only
comes to perfection in old age. Grace be-
longs to no period Of life. and goodness
improves the longer it O.. ists.

Me foIIowing curious predictior

The following curious predictions
for 1867 are from an exchange:
The year 1867 will be a very event
full one to every maiden who gets mar
ried. Throughout the course Of the
whole year, whenever the moon wanes
the night will grow dark. Whoever
is in love this year will think his
sweetheart an angel. Whoever gets
married will find out whether it is
true. If a young lady happens to
blush, she will look red in the face.
fshe dreams of a young man three
nights in succession, it is a sign of
something. If anybody jumps over
board without knowing how to swim
it is two to one he gets drowned.
If any one lends an umbrella, it is ten
to one he is obliged to go home in the
rain for his pains.

An old "RevoIutionecr," John Regan,
has been discovered living near Paris,
Illinois, who is IO4 years of age. 4 letter
in the Cincinnati Commercial says he came
from Ireland to this country when quite
small, and fought with General Washing
ton in the Revolutionary war. He helped
build the first house that was ever built on
the site where now stands the city of Col
umbus, the Capital of Ohio, when all
arOnnd was a perfect wilderness. He is
the father Of sixteen children, nine sons
and seven daughters. Two of his sons
were killed in the war with Mexico and
three fell in the late rebellion.

A German woman, named Mrs. John
Frank, living near New Richmond, twenty
miles east OF Cincinnati, killed one of her
children and herself on Saturday night.
She is described as highly intelligent and
sensitive woman, who had labored very
hard for years to support her family, the
husband being a worthless drunllard and
idler. She was smart and frugal, and man
aged to struggle along and even lay up
some scanty savings from her hard earn
ings. She had eight children. Her hus-
bands last freak was to charge that she
was unfaithful to him, and that the baby
was not his child. Last Saturday night
he came home drunk, and the next morn
ing she and her baby were found in the
stable dead. The child had been strangled
by its mothers hands, and she had hanged
herself.

THE VALLANDIGHAMM MEETING
AT HILLSBORO, O., SEPT, 3, 1867.

THE VALLAN DETHAM MEEVIN G.
AT HILLSBORO, O., SEPT, 8, 1867.
The great, eventful day
Has come, and passed away,
When the Democratic mass
Was to meet, and sentence pass.
Vallandigham the Great,
Vile Traitor to hi State,
Was there in proud array,
~ Chief lion Of the day.
To vindicate the South
He stretched his crooked mouth,
And with sarcastic grin
He raved, while pitching in"
He sruke aboUt 2 Taxation"
Aud the "uigger" hood creation
About the different races
Filling special places,
But that this kinky tribe
Of their rights must be denied,
On this he dwelt with pride,
For they cheered him, while he lied.
On "bonds" he snorted loud,
To his non -bondholdng crowd,
How they slapped each others backs,
Because ''the Iich man paid no taxi
The Democrats of old
We're married to their gold,
And we're down on paper "rags"
While they kept their gold in bags.
But this Democratic fool
Bred in traitors school,
Goes in with heart and hand
To flood this mighty land
With currency ofpaper,
They call Legal Tender-vspor,
And "Grseubacks" by the million,
Or if needs be, by the billion.
But once upon a time,
He was sent across the line,
For using all his powers
To destroy this land Of ours,
And now comes sneaking back,
On the Democratic track,
To tell the loyal and the true,
How they must vote, and what to do
pretty bird is he
With blood mp to the knee,
Aud hands all dripping red,
And Traitors heart and head,
With tongue, that's all pollution,
Talking ofthe "Constitution ~
Such impUdeRce, before unknown
His heart would make an ArnOld's throne!
Yes, let him rant and rave,
This mongreI fool and K nave,
This Ten Cent aims receiver
This soldier-boy deceiyerI
The mask you all can see,
He's branded with a ''T,"
And he'll wear it to his grave,
Cursed by the loyal brave,
And there in infamy shall rot,
Loved by traitors, by none forgot!
Yes, pretty bird is he,
To tell the loyal free
How to curse the colored man,
And bless c. L. Yallandigham,
Yes, Highland boys he comes to you,
And says he Iores d. boys in bUey
Such love go-his record read,
Hear him laugh, whene 'er you bleed
While you in rebel prisons wallow,
He voted "not man or doIIarl"
o yes this sneaking traitor r-breeder,
Is now the Democratic leader,
And with him they will sink this fall,
The rotten parry, Pike and all.
Farewell, you poor, deluded race,
Your leaders led you to disgrace,
Kill YaIlundigham, or be
VIII kill your party with IT."
Forsake him, yes, despise the man,
The traitor vile TaIlandigLam

Iowa has a session of her Legislature
the coming winter, and One-half the SEN
ate and entire House are to be chosen in
October next. This winter the question
of negro suffrage will be submitted by the
Legislature to the people for their ratifica-
ton. At the last session, two years ago,
it was acted on favorably by the Legisla-
ture, and referred to the approaching one
for approval, when if so approved, the
question will be submitted to the people
Two years ago this was one of the issues
of the campaign, and will be again this
fall. There will be no doubt of the re-
suit. The issue triumphed two years ago,
when the people were less prepared to ac-
cept it than now. The Legislature conven-
ed this winter will elect a United States
Senator to succeed Hon. J. w. Grimes.

The Milk Business,

We understand that most of our dairymen,
in Pleasant Prairie, who have hitherto devoted
themselves to the manufacture of cheese, in
tend to change their business, this spring, and
send their milk to the Chicago market. 1t is
understood that milk train will be put upon
the Road running on the Rockford Road from
some point in Pleasant Prairie, in the very
centre of the milk producing district. This
will be very convenient for the producers, and
enable them to ship their milk without draw
ing it far by wagon. This will undoubtedly
be more profitable than manufacturing the
milk into cheese or butter, as it will save a
large amount of expense and labor in theman-
ufacture and care of the cheese, and at the
same time give the milkmen the advantage of
having their money for their milk at once, as
they go along, instead of waiting for the man.
ufacture of cheese in sufficient quantity to
send to market.
| 1t is understood that the demand for milk
in the Chicago market is far in excess of the
supply, and therefore no danger of such re-
pletion of the market as will tend to degen.
crate the price. The capacity of Pleasant
Prairie for grazing and stock growing has new.
er yet been half developed, and this milk bust
ness once started may be enlarged to almost
any extent. Success to the new enterprise.

1.-THE Snow, the Beautiful Snow"

Beauty sometimes pals upon the taste,
when we have too much of it. That is likely
to be the case with 'tlfe, snow the beautiful
snow" A terrible snow storm set in last
Thursday night, which added about Is inches
to the stock on hand. and badly drifted.-
Trains on the Milwaukee division of the North
western h. h. were little behind time day,
but have been all right since. On the Keno
sha Division the trains got through for the first
time since the storm, yesterday. Last even
ing we had two or three inches more. Our
streets present high walls on either side Of
snow that has been shoveled from the side
walks.
The above item was prepared for last weeks
Telegraph. We publish it this week and can
add that since it was written some six or
eight inches more of snow has fallen. Thurs
day last was q warm day, and the snow set
tied fast, but it has been much more than
made up since. We have had two OF three
very pleasant days since when it thawed in
favorable localities, but the volume Of snow
has increased some six or eight inches on the
level.

Laid Over,

Laid Over,
Much to cur chagrin and annoyance the fol-

The Flowers the beautiful Flowers.
In this snowy, wintry weather, when the
whole country wears the aspect of Greenland
or Nova Zembla, a boquet of real living, fra
grant flowers, the beautifully variegated flow
ers mingled with the deep green of their
leaves, comes like dream of the beautiful
oasis to the wanderer over the arid sands Of
Zahara. Like sunbeam, in the dark, like
any stray CLEAN of light and beauty, came the
beautiful boquet to our sanctum, the other
day from the green house of JAMES M. CHASE
on Kenosha Avenue. We have seldom seen a
more beautiful or more fragrant collection of
flowers hound into oae boquet. We can only
say to our friends that if they want flowers for
any purpose, for themselves, or to present to
friend, they can get them at Mr.. Chase's
green house. We understand that Mr. Chase
will greatly enlarge his facilities for furnishing
plants, bedding flowers, flowers in pots, &C.,
&C., for the conipg spring
