Extract Buchu

Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds Of
others apply vainly druggists and doctors, who ell
ther merely tantaze them with the hope OF a cure
or apply remedies which make them worse would
not assert anything that would do injustice to the al
dicted, but amsoslged to say that although it may
reproduced from excessive exhaustion of the powers
oflite, by iaborious employment, unwholesone air
and food, profuse menstruaton, the use OF tea and
coffee and frequent childbirth it is far otener caus-
ed by direct irritation, applied the mucous mem
brane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints, 1t is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them 1t is but sim.
pie justice to the subject enumerate few of the
many additional causes which SO largely affect the
society, and which, consequently affect more or less
directly the welfare OF the entire human amily The
mania that exists for precocous education and mar
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporeal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints otdress, the early confinement OF
school and especially in the unhealthy excitement
of the ball room. Thus. with the body halt clothed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure perverting
In midnight revel the hours des gned by nature for
sleep and rest, the work of destruction is halt accom-
plished.
In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
TEN, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votary to retain her situation in school at later day
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbid
ly sensitive to impression, while the now constant
restraint of fashionable dress, absolutely forbdding
the exercise indispensable TO the attainment and re-
tenton oforganic health and strength; the exposure
to night air. the sudden change OF temperature; the
complete prostration produced by excessive dancing,
must OF necessity produce their legitimate effect At
least an early marriage caps the climax of misery,
and the unfortunate one hitherto so utterly regard
lees Of the plain dictates and remonstrances of her
delicate nature, becomes an unwilling subject of
medical treatment. This is but truthful picture OF
the experience of thousands OF our young women.
Long before the ability to exercise the functions OF
the generaive organs, they require an education of
their peculiar nervous system, com posed OF what is
called the tissue, which is, in common with the fe-
male breast ano lips, evidently under the control OF
mental emotions and associations at an early period
OF life; and shall subsequently see, these emo
tons when excessive, lead, long before puberty, to
habits which sap the very life OF their victims ere
nature has selt-completed their development.

from the Decision Of the Court.
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a, 1858.
The Criminal Court having yesterday sustained the
demurrer OF the prosecution to the special plea OF the
defence Mr. Merrick to-day set up In bar OF judgment
the act Of 1890, Statute Of Limitations, claiming that
the indictment against Surratt was not found within
two years from the time OF the commission Of the al
legged offence and hence the prisoner was entitled to
final discharge
After argument on both sides Judge Wylie said
the indictment contained five several counts,
charging that the offence was committed on the 9Th
OF March, 1866. and on other days intervening be-
tween that time and the 18th OF April Of the same
year The defendant entered plea OF mot guilty.

plea remained on record until the meeting
of this court ut It's adjourne6 term several

withdraw the plea OF mot guilty. and filed a spe-
cial plea to enable him 10 plead the benefit Of the
proclamation Of pardon and amnesty. The Court,
sonsderng that he never before had an opportunity
to plead for pardon under that proclamation, gave
him permission to withdraw the plea OF mot
guilty. and the next day he filed special plea that
the amnesty proclamation was applicable to his
case. The government. through It's representative,
demurred 10 this plea. The demurrer Is q general
demurrer for substantial defects In the plea, and not
for informaty. For two days there was argument
on the ISSUE and yesterday the Court intimated lts
opinion on the question. That intimation was
that the Court would sustain the demur-

THE LIVERPOOL CoTToN BROKERS ON THE
QUI VvE.-The press agent in England has
thought proper to inform us Americans in
brief telegram that the yield of the cotton
crop in Egypt this season is reported to be
enormous" No facts of details are given,
aud the statement is made simply on the re-
ports said to be contained in letter or letters.
This is very vague and looks very much as if
Nte telegram had been inspired by the Liver
pool cotton brokers and manufacturers of Eng
land 10 knock down the price Of American cot
ton, Admitting even that there is an unusually
large yield in Egypt this year, it ought to make
no difference in the market value Of our pro-
duct. The Egyptian cotton Is poor short
staple and dirty article and cannot rival our
beautiful and clean long staple cotton. We
have only about half a crop, compared with
what was raised in the most productive years
before the war, though it may have as large o
money value, and there will be the fullest de-
mand for it at high rates. We advise our
planters and cotton merchants not to be nisled
by such statements as the one referred to.
