R HAVE TESTED THESE DROPS
- 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
harm1essly, 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. haFi5as fla4s
Although SO powerful and positive, they
are perfectly harmless, 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
DISTRACTED menstruation, Leucorrhoea, or
he train of diseases that follow, 1 would
say, try q bottle of DR.. Lyons French
PERIODICAL Drops. Being a fluid prepare

tire than any pills or powders. Explicit

Jersey, an island IN the British

10y cholera last year, has, we learn
by last adviccs, been attacked
There appear to have been twenty
four deaths in the town Of st. HELLER
within week, and general panic
cnsuod. The disease was not con.
fined to filthy ucighbor hoods, al.
though it originated therein. There
is enough Importance III this fact to
cause the serious attention of the
people generally to it. The cholera
is perhaps to renew its visitation du
ring the year in Europe and it may
reasonably be expected not TO turn
aside from the United States in its
westward course. The public look
to the authorities for measures OF
precaution, and we trust will mol look
in vain AT all events our own city,
filthy as 1t is, does not appear very
tavorably at present in respect to
the streets, and wants big cleaning
up, bclole there is Il cry raised that
whereas in the Winter there was too
much snow to clear away, so in the
Spring there is too much compound
ed dirt to be possibly removed.
The attention of our Borough Of
iccrs is called to the above. Fin.
llay in its p lmilst days Of cleanli,
ness is filthy, as compared with other
owns, and there is no just cause for

I" Ancient Landmarks" ;"

Tie Democratic party has a favor
ite expression that does more for it,
in the matter of closing up ranks,
than anything else--that is "Ancient
Landmarks Of Democracy" No
significance can he attached to It.
but the expression works wonder fol
the party. A fear like night mar,
prevades it that some one of the
p" landmarks Ct the Democracy
the ID only knows how many he. has
given it-may be swept away. Nc
matter What an opposition party may
do, some w.se1cro OF Democracy
Immediately makes the announce.
ment that landmark is gone, and
the cry goes the length Of the land.
Every honest Dcnocrat--the ignor
ant ones--rcsolye Immediately to do
and die for their cause. One of the
" landmarks of that party was that
none but Democrats could rule the
country-.that "landmark' has eternal
ly been swept away land it is foundthat
the nation still lives and moves. So
desperately did this ilea cling to
nearly every member of that party,
that q rebellion was forced on the
the country,and the rebels were those
that adhered to that opinion-their
sympathiscrs in the North, while they
believed it as firmly, could vote for
it with much more vim than they
could fight for it, Notwithstanding
they did not and would not fight for
the idea, they did all they possibly
could for those who we've willing so
to do, by throwing obstacles in the
way of the Government
Another "landmark," that has been
swept away, which was the cause OF
much anguish, was the fact Of issuing
paper money to enable the Govern.
ment to carry on successful war; and
ruin--fell, sweeping ruin-was pre-
dictcd.
That "landmarl' is gone and no one
is ruined. And endless were the
/" landmarks that were swept away,
and endless, as each one went, were
the predictions that our days as ma
tion were numbered. The land.
marks go, the prophcsics are made
and the country goes on undisturbcd

leaves the Landmarks of Dcmocra.

A Change.

Tammany Hall has been sold tc
Chas. A, Dana and others, who in
tend to flt II up for newspaper Of
flee. For years it has been the head
quarters of New York Democracy
and the principles and doctrines
cnunciated there were generally con.
sidcred law and gospel throughout
the country. In 1857 some trouble
occurred among the Democrats OF
New York and the Hall went into the
hands of the " Roughs," or what wa.
the same, into the hands of sucl
men as Fernando Wood, to whom
the "Roughs" looked for their gospel
After that time the society of Tam
many fell somewhat in disrepute out
side of the city, while there it con
trolled it entirely. The change from
a meeting place of the leaders of a
Democratic mob to that of a place
of publication of respectable Re.
publican newspaper, is worthy of
note, and it may be presumed that
the occurrence of dozen rough aud
tumble fights, on almost any occa.
sion of meeting there, will never
be again heard Of. Tammany Hall
is gone; Democracy grows weak in
New York City, and not many years
hence we may hope to see the Me.
tropolis OF America governed by
respectable men,and aot y mob of
roughs, cut-throats and thieves. Not
many tears will be shed because the
days Of Tammany Hall are mum
bered.
