rure BLOOD, Muddy water.

Pure blood may be compared 10 pure
water, and impure blood TO muddy water. II
you pass muddy water through muslin you
soil 1t; continue the process and you cover
with thick mud. Blood passes through all
parts of the body; If good and pureit nonr-
i,hes and tleanses the parts 1t goes through.
II impure it leaves more or less dirt behind
It. BRANDRETu's FILLS are the medicine
wanted, because they are made on purpose
to take dirty humors out of the body, and
they never fail. These pills cure scrofula,
even of forty years standing; they have
cured cases of rheumatism when the patient
had not walked for four yeats; of paralysis
where the legs had lost their power OF move
mert for seventeen yeaIs. The evidence in
these cases cannot be disputed. Is there q
town in the world where such evidence ex-
lists not? If BRANDRETH's PILLS have been
much used there we know that such evil
dence can be found.

WONDERS OF LAKE ONTARIo.-Oneo of
the strangest phenomena ever Witness
ed has recently occurred along the
shore of Lake Ontario, in the towns of
SOdus and Williamson. For three
weeks previous to last Friday the water
OF the lake has been unusually warm
so warm, indeed, that very many per-
sons resorted thither for the purpose of
bathing, remaining in the water an
hour or more ut a time, without eXpe-
riencing sensations of chiIliness. On
Friday, however, IA sudden caange oC-
curred-the temperature of the water
falling nearly twenty degrees within
three hours. And now comes the
straDgest part of the story. The fish,
great and small, as the cold increasedI
seemed possessed with a desire TO get
ashore, and came leaping and tumbling
against the banks in hundreds and
thousands. Large quantities were
taken with spears and nets, and the
shores of the lake were lined with dead
fish. Whether the fish were benumbed
by the increasing GOODNESS, and in
stinctiVely sought the shore where the
water was of less depth, let the natural
ist say; we will not pretend to explain.
The water OF Lake Ontario is now cold
er by several degrees than it has been
for several years at this season, and
naturally excites considerable COM
ment and discussion.-LyomS IN. "

IA Pronhecy FnIalled.

Eighteen years ago when Mr.. Seward
was one of the ciearest minded and
most able members of the United
States Senate, he delivered a speech in
which occurred the following passage:
The Atlantic States through their
commercial, social and polltlca! ann
tiles and sympathies are renovaung the
govern nlents aud the social conslltu-
lions of Europe and of Africa. Inc
Pacific States must necessarily perform
the same sublime and benihcent func-
tions in Asia. If, then, the American
people shall remain one undivided nA-
lion, the lipening civilization OF the
West, after a separation growing Wlder
and wider for four thousand years, WILL
in its circuit of the world, meet again
and mingIe with the declining clvl!i-
cation OF the East on our own free SOIL
and a new and more perfect civilization
will arise to bless the earth under the
sway of our own cherished and benlh-
cent Democratic institutions.
The subject under debate was the adj
mission of California to the Union, a
measure which it is needless to say was
adopted. To-day with the same Mr..
Seward entertaining at his house the
Chinese embassy, it 8 interesting to
trace the development of the events
which the speaker then so prophetical-
ly sketched.
The American nation has remained
undivided" the civilization of the new
world has met the decay of the old and
infused into it a new life. The isolated
Empire of the East has unlocked its
gates, and the first appeal for admis-
sion into the community of nations is
that of the United States. Few men
have lived to see their own prophesies
SO literally fulfilled as has Mr.. Seward
and few have been enabled to do SO
much in bringing about their fulfill
ment. For a quarter century the Chi
nese question has been darling theme
to Mr.. Seward, and his appointment to
the portfolio of State has enabled him
to work out as minister the ideas
which he entertained as a Senator.

FIVE INSANE WOMEN BURNED TO
DEATH.

The hurried account OF the fire at the
County Almshouse, which [ sent you this
morning, did not half tell the terrible tale
OF suffering and death resulting from the
burning of the insane department for
women connected with that institutions,
the loss of life being greater than |
though it could possibly be. During the
forenoon four bodies, burned beyond re-.
cognition, were taken from the ruins, and
this afternoon another has been taken out.
not one OF them but has large portions of
the limbs destroyed by the FIRE, and al!
of them burned and disfgured in a bor-
rible manner, During the afternoon
Coroner Enos 7. Chase. of Geneseo, sum,
moned jury to take an inquisition, aud
at o'clock they met at the Poor House,
and, after viewing the bodies, proceeded
to investigate the terrible calamity.
The first witness examined was John
Stewart, who for long time has been in
charge of the department for insane WON
en-, and from whom the following facts
were elected: "There were thirteen in
sane women in the burned building last
night, and all of them shut up in their
cells. To-day [ have seen eight Of them,
there being five missing [ was awaken
ed between 2 and 3 o'clock by a horrible

telling the inmates to come out. / could
not stop longer than to just open the cell
doors: the smoke being SO dense that I
was almost suffocated All of the women
confined in the cells could have escaped
had they tried to do SO. The names of
the missing women are Mary Lord, Mary
Bolton, Ann Coogan, Sophie Somple, and
Emellne c. Wallace [ have seen the re
mains since taken from the fire, but have
no way of identifying them except by
knowing who are missing"
The jury do not find that any blame
can be attached to George W. Barney,
the superintendent, he having, so far as
possible, provided against such an acct
dent, or to John Stewart, in charge of
the female insane department, he having
used all means in his power to release the
poor un}ortunates under his care Geu-

The President has nominated Lieut.
enant General Sherman to be General of
the Army of the United States by brevet.
Such rank is not known in any law, and
was not contemplated by the act under
which General Grant received his pres
emf position. The nomination was made
by Mr.. johnson on his own responsibility
and without recommendation from either
General Grant OR Secretary Stanton.
Everybody seems to understand that the
Presidents purpose in making this9eap-
pointment is two-fold: First, to snub
General Grant, and Esecond, to get up a
quarrel somewhere. 1t is due to General
Sherman to say that his friends promptly
deny that he is party to this Presiden-
tial trick

predictions and speculations Of various
persons have again come to naught. Mr..

the matter. The document concluded
with resolution directing an immediate
commencement Of the impeachment pro-
ceedings. He briefly supported it III a
sarcastic speech, and Mr.. Bingham then
moved to lay the whole subject on the
table. The motion 0as carried-yeas,

of the Republican members. Quite a

CHANGES IN POLITICS.

"The whirHgig of time brings in his
wrongs and "Politics makes strange
bedfellows." We were led to make these
quotations IN our mind as we glanced
over paper that announced to us that
Daniel D. .Sickles and Lyman Tremaine
were Republican delegates at large to re
present the State of New York in the
next Republican Convention, and that
Charles Francis Adams was coming home
from England very likely (the inference
is ours) to take part ic the next Presi-
Dental campaign, in favor of the nominee
of the Democratic party.
How does i happen that our bed is
made up with Sick les, Tremaine and
Ben Butler and that the Adams, Sew
ards and Ewiugs with whom We used to
train, are now 'cheek BY gowl' with
Frank Pierce, Caleb Gushing, Charles
O'Connor, Peter Cagger and the like?
We can we'll remember when we
thought the next meanest Loco Foco Gas
we used to call our Democratic opponents
after the Devil was Ben. Butler But
We now find ourselves pulling in the
same team with this same Ben. Butler
Yea, except as to his financial views which
we abominate, We are an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of this same man whom we thought
formerly was ''child of the Devil, and
an enemy of all righteousness" We've
wish in many respects that this same man
could be our next President.
We can recoll2ct the time when we
thought all wisdom was concentrated in
the Adams family and we still think
John Quincy Adams one of the best
Patriots and one of the most lear ned men
that this country has ever produced
But where is Charles Francis? A Free
Soil Candidate for the vice Presidency il
IS radical of the radicals" where is
he now? He is not with US at any rate,
and we fear that he is simply to be hence
forth bunker of the hunsers."
If one were to look at Politics from
the outside alone it must look to him as
though all its conditions were deter min
ed By chance. One would be excused
We think for believing that once in
while persons names were put in a box
and shaken up and then the lump divid-
ed and that there was an agreement that
those thus accidentally found together
should afterward till the next shaking up
act together as political party. We
think that an interior view would bring
cut the opinion however that all this
seeming chance came about by lawful
method. Human character is the key
that unlocks the whole riddle. We and
Ben. Bntler are together probably be-
cause both meant to be Democrats, and
the development of our principle of Dem
oeracy has brought US together. Robert
G. Winthrop and Frank Pierce have
come together because both are probably
essentially aristocratic in feeling and idea
barring changes of pure personal interest
or supposed interest like those of Doohttle
Of our own State, we think the marvels
Of the changes in politics can be clearly
read in the light Of these true principles,
Democracy or aristocraoy. Time like
--'hurielS spear will detect Q man and will
shew ultimately to which oRa Of those
pri'c llcS nc is attacked.
