tanning instructions TO the Board of Registers

tiou, in which he directs that ali persons who
ever held Office under the Federal or any

cluded from registration. He further says,
that no amnesty or pardon entities applicants

fee, or position OF profit or honor under the
Confederate States, or elfher of the States in
rebellion, are entitled TO register. He SAYS,
however, that the. removal of disability by
Congress entities the applicant to register up-
less dlsfranchsed for crime. Bribery, perjury
false swearing, subornation of perjur, off r,
ing bride and accepting bride, are the list

THE DEFAULTER oLMsTEAD.
e. B. Olmstead, the defauting Post Office
clerk, is still in the custody of the police au-
thorities, aud has not recovered from the bro
ken down condition of health under which he
has been laboring ever since his arrest. 1t is
not known exactly what steps will be taken
by the Treasury Department in prosecuting
him, although some of his friends believe he
will have time afforded in which to settle his
accounts as disbursing officer satisfactorily to
the government.
FEMALE CLERKS TO BE DISCHARGED.
Lists are now being prepared at the Regis
ter's Office of the Treasury Department of the
female clerks employed in that branch of the
service, with the view of making considera-
Gle reduction of the force at the end of the
present month. There is now so little work
for portion of them whose duty consists in
counting and sorting coupons, that numbers
have been furloughed. 1t is thought that at
least seventy-five will be dismissed on the LIST
of November.

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2O-Correspondence
from Colima, Mexico, dated Oct 8, states that
much discomfort exists IN consequence of the
prosecuting war against Losada by the Gener-
al Government. 1t is reported that four divis-
ions of the Mexican army have been ordered
against Lozada, and the States of Sinoloa,
Durango and Queretara have been instructed
to furnish all their spare men to reinforce the
army. 1t is said Cosada has $4,000 troops I'M
der arms, and his position is impregnable.
Rumors prevailed regarding various fillibus-
tering expeditions being organized at different
ports in the United States, and that Gen. Mar
quez had landed at San Bias with revolu-
tiOnary party. 1t is thought the present is the
most favorable opportunity for fillibustering.-
Regret is expressed that Secretary Seward will
not encourage such expeditions.

Extract Buchu2 !

Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds of
others apply vany to druggists and DOCTORS who Ell
or apply remedies which make them worse. 1 would
not assert anything that would do injustice to the at
icted, but am obliged to say that although it may
be produced from excessive exhaustion of the powers
oflife, by laborous employment, unwholesome air
and food, profuse menstruation, the use OF tea and
coffee, and frequent childbirth it is far oftener caus-
ed by direct irritation, applied the mucous mem

When reviewing the causes ofthese distressing
complaints it is most painful to contemplate the at
attendant evils consequent upon them 1t is but sim
pie justice to the subject to enumerate few of the
many additional causes which largely affect the
lite, health, and happiness woman in all classes OF
society," and which, consequently affect more or less
directly the welfare OF the entire human family The
mania that exists for precocous education and mar
~--~
rage, causes the years that nature designated for
corporal development to be wasted and perverted
in the restraints ofdress, the early confinement CT
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 half accom-
plished.
In consequence OF this early strain upon her sys-
tenn, 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 forbidding
the exercise indispensable to the attainment and re-
tenton forganic health and strengths the exposure
to night air. the sudden change of temperature; the
complete prostration produced by excessive dancing
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 generatve 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 and lips evidently under the control of

of life; and shall subsequently see, these emo
