X 10 q S.-The new restaurant,
under the above cabalistic sign -board,
was opened in due form, yesterday,
by Mr.. McBurney. He entertained
a host of friends in good style, and
those who attended were admirably

by q monster of the canine species

Mr.. E. is largely interested in the
Havana submarine telegraph COM
pany, and other Southern enterprises.
After seeing this animal, we can
readily believe the stories told of
their usefulness in assisting weary
travellers through the snow to the
hospitable monasteries scattered over
the mountains. The animal belonging
to Col. Palmer. is of pure breed-his
father and mother having been ge-
nuine imported st. Bernarder's-an

The dark ages of medication now draw to a
close. Two great specifies superseding all the
stereotyped and hackneyed nostrums of the age
DR.. Maggers Pills and Save, by their extraor-
binary cures have opened the eyes of the public
to the ineticency of the (so-called) remedies up
on which they have so long blindy depended
Maggiel's Pills arc not of the class that are swal-
lowed by the dozen or the score and of which
every box taken begets an absolute necessity for
another One or ut most two or three of Magg-
els Pills, sufices place the bowels in good con-
dltlon, tone the stomach, create an appetite and
render the spirits light and buoyant
There is no gripping and no reaction in the form
of constitution. If the liver is affected its flnc
tons are restored and regulated. If the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigorated. Ulcerous and
erupve diseases are literally extinguished by the
| disinfectant power of Magglel's Save. Invalids
| who are wise enough to try these pure and now
erful vegetable preparations will infalliby rec
ommend them, discarding as comparatively val

In fact, it will be found that MAGGIEL's BILIOUS.

1t is such time as this that the Tribune Sc
lects to congratulate the country upon the quiet
condition of the South. It had volumes Of de.
nunciation for the Southern whites when they
were falsely charged with VIOLENCE, but not one
word of rebuke or admontion has it for the ne
groes when they threaten, through one of then
delegates elect to the Constitutional Conven
ton, to make 'the streets of Richmond run
knee-deep with blood. -
The Tribune says, with philosophic calmness
lit is the nature of men to defer to power
wherever heated" If this be so, then the
negroes and their mean white allies are moi
men, for they do not respect the military OF
civil authorities They are this day the only
