MAMMALIAN DEATH IN FRANCE. =
The Monitcur, Of July 5, says the as
sassinntion Of the Emperor Maximi-
lian will arouse feeling of universal
horror. The act of infamy ordered
by Juarez stamps on the heads of
those who call themselves the repre-
sentatives of the Mexican Republic
an ineffaceable stigma The reproba-
ton Of all civilized nations will be
the just punishment of q Govern
ment which has at its head such a
ruler. The Sultan begged the EN-
peror to countermand the feteS, on
hearing of the tragic end of Maximi-
liam. The Court has gone into mourn
ing for thirty days.
In the Legislative Body, the Presi-
dent announced that the Emperor
Macmillan had fallen victim to n
detestable attack. He desired loudly
to bear testimony to the reprobation
of the Chamber Mt such disgrace to
honor and civilization. The Presi-
dents remarks were received with
loud cheers.
The Paris correspondence Of the
London Globe says an impression is
beginning to be entertained in we'll
informed quarters that the French
Government will be under the neces-
sity of engaging in new war with
Mexico, to avenge the outrages in
Hicted on the honor of France. The
murder of the Emperor Maximilian
is in reality an outrage on the French
nation; the murder of French citizens
another. France cannot, without
loss of prestige, and without making
her name by-word on the American
continent. submit to such indignities.
1t is probable, however, that if she
embarks in new war, she will make
no attempt to re-conquer Mexico, or
any portion of the territory, but will
content herself with burning down
Vera Cruz or some other town on the
coast.
The Independence says tits rnmored
that the French Government, in order
to free itself as much as possible from
the responsibility of the death of
Macmillan, shortly intends publish
ing certain documents which will
prove that the Government did all

turn to Europe with the French

Annexation of Mexico.
HHEHVA" I1Oh Oh WeNICO.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald writes:

Iue washington correspondent OF
the New York Herald writes:
During the last few days, q new
movement has como-to light, which
has for its object the annexation of
Mexico to the United States. The
facts concerning itare as follows: It
seems that MIR. Abbott, brother of
the historian, J. S. G. Abbott, has
been engaged for two years past in
planning and maturing a scheme for
the acquisition of the Northern tier
of Mexican States, with view ulti-
matoly to the absorption OF the whole
OF Mexico. He has travelled extern
sively through that country, put him
self in communication with its lead
ing men, including Juarez, and made
overtures to them, with the tacit
sanction of prominent parties in the
United States. Until lately, he met
with but little encouragement in
Mexico. Since the capture and exc
cutlon of Maximilian, however, his
propositions have been moro favora-
bly, considered. A few days ago, Mr.
Abbott succeeded in getting together
q number of prominent Senators and
Representatives, to whom he made O
statement of his labors and prospects.
The meeting was held in the Vice
Presidents room at the capitol.
There were present Senators Wade,
Sumner. Chandler, Nye, Howard,
Ramsay, Cole, and Representatives
Banks, Butler, and a few others of
lesser note. Mr.. Abbott gave de-
tailed account of his plans, and laid
before them maps and surveys of the
territory proposed to be annexed to
the United States. He stated that
since the success of the Liberals,
there were fears entertained by the
lending men of Mexico of new inva-
sion of that country by the European
powers, who We're enraged at the
death of Maximilian, and also of
fresh repetition of the intestine
strifes which have torn the republic
for SO many years. Under these cir
cumstances, JuareZ and the better
class of Mexican leaders entertain Sc
rlous propositions of placing Mexico
under the protection Of the United
States, on certain conditions, the
most vital of which is that they shall
be taken care of in the way of secur-
ing good positions in their native
country. Abbott urged that our Go
vernment should enter into negotia-
ton with Juarez, and improve the
opportunity to annex Mexico to the
Union. He expatiatcd upon the i'm
mense advantage it would secure to
US commercially, and in territorial
point of view. The Senators and
Representatives present listened to
him attentively for nearly an hour,
when each one gave his views on the
subject.

THE DISEASE or AMERICA.-

Dyspepsia is 9; III to be the disease of
America. It's victims may be found in all
stations of life. The poor MS we'll as the
"lch arc sufferers from it's life-destroying
influence. The symptoms of this disease
vary greatly in the different stages of the
complaint. 1t generally commences with
oeneation of fullncss after eating, and a
changeable, diminished or lost appetite.
In somo instances, the appetite is vora-
cious, and whcn--in obedience to its
promptings-a largo portion of food is
taken into the stomach, pain follows in
that region. with general distress, merry
ousncss ana nausea. Flatulcncy anu
heartburn invariably attend this disease.
For all these symptoms,

will be found an invaluable household
remedy, as its Alternative, corrective and
restorative properties arc derived exclu-
siyely from roots and plants. the virtues
of which are acknowledged by pharmaceu-
tics and Physicians. Separately they have
often been prescribed by the profession,
but were never combined until Dr. Hostel
ter gave to the world his

 During the frat ysas ofthe var, when change wM scarce, and some large firms were issaing currency ofthsir own, far mer went toa store in neighboring town end bought soma goods, and gave the merchant i've dollar bill, of which he wanted seventy five cents back. The merchant counted out the amount, and handed 1t over to the farmer. He looked at it . moment and inquired, " Whats this It's my currency" replied the merchant ">Wall, taint good for noth- in where l liv." said the farmer. "Very we'll" said the merchant, "keep it until you gst dollars worth, and bring it to my store, and l will give you dollar for it"
 The farner pocketed the change and departed: A few weeks after he went in- to the same store and bought goods to the amount of one dollar, and after paying over the identical seventy cents he took out | handful of pumpkin seeds and counted out twenty-five of them and pass ed them over to the merchant. "Why," says the merchant, "What's this?" "Wail," says the farmer, "this is my currency, and whom you gst dollars worth bring it out to my placs and l will give you dollar hin"

Manufacturing in the South.

The Baltimore Sun remarks that among the changes which arc likely to result from the late conflict between tho North and South, those of com mercial and manufacturing character, promise to be most conspicuous. Be- fore the war the natural course of busi- ness was to send cotton from tho South to the Northern Atlantic States for the purpose of being manufactured or re- shipped to Europe, receiving in return such goods as the planting States con- sumed. Now, the tendency is to local ize the business of tho South--to pro- duce there, as far as possible, tho man. ufacturod goods required for home consumption. With the growth of manufactures in the South, the advan- tages of cheapness, resulting from hay ing the raw product on the spot, will be realized, and eventually she may un- dersell others, and send her surplus to such foreign markets as are in need of them.
 Asa symptom of this introversion of trade, 1t may bo noted that between seventy and eighty cotton mills are now said to be in process of erection in the Southern States, besides sundry woolen ones, all tending to the change In trade and business to which we have advcrted. Nor is this tendency con- fined to the South alone, but socms to be actuating the people of the Western States, also. There, too, increased at- tention to manufacturing enterprises is manifested, promising changes in com- nercial affairs not anticipated ten years since. These have been expedited in the South by the conflict of arms, while in the West they are the result of views antagonistic to those entertained by the manufacturers of the North Atlan- tic States.
