 An interesting letter is published in the Medico- Chirurgical Review on the subject of the Extract of Sarsaparilla in certain affections, by Benjamin Travers, F. R. s. &c. Speaking of those diseases, and diseases arising from the excess of Mercury. he states that no remedy is equal to the Extract of Sarsaparilla; it's power is extraordinary, more than any other drug am acquainted with. It is in the strictest sense tonic with this invaluable attribute, that it is applicable to state of the sys- tenn so sunken yet so irritable as renders other substances of the tonic class unavailable or nju- rious.

We were favored during the early part Of
the week, by visit from the above-named
distinguished representative of the sons Of
toll, among whom Che is free and proud TO
avow) his early days were spent. He is still
a young man mot over thirty five) but has
already established q reputation as one Of
the very first and most successful advocates
and erudite lawyers in this country, his cri-
mInal practice already extending all over
illinois, and even into the adjacent States.
As m orator and polemist, q legislator and
rising young statesman, he occupies an ex-
allied position. As friend to the oppress-
ed and an unostentatious benefactor Of the
poor, he has endeared himself to numerous
needy recipients of his bounty; nor are these
good deeds restricted to his poor neighbors
in Peoria, for we know a number of orphans
in the city Of Chicago, who have abundant
reason to remember him in their prayers.
We wish him long career Of honor, emf
nence, prosperity and usefulness, and this
expression will elicit many a heartfelt res
ponse from readers of the ADVOCATE.

LONDON, Oct. Z, 1869.
To the Editor OF the woaKnGMAE's ADVOCATE:
We are getting dreadiully befogged over
here in this old world, on nearly all ques-
tons connected with the general we'll being
of the community. Almost everybody reads
paper, at some congress or other, on some
great industrial or social question, and yet
nobody seems the better Of 1t, although such
papers are usually followed BY learned and
lengthy discussions.
The Social Science Congress has Just held
its meetings at Bristol, where much has been
said on the general condition Of the poor ;
on education, trades unions, and nearly q
hundred other questions.
There is an alarming growth in our poor
rates, and, it is said, that the guardians OF
the poor are experimenting the wages or our
laborers in some Of our agricultural districts,
after an old fashion, supposed to have been
destroyed for ever BY the poor-law amend.
msnt act Of 1884. People are really getting
frightened, and talk in their fright IS il they
had utterly lost their senses. The newspa-
pers are as much puzzled as the public.
They can't make out how so many people
remain in the EXTREMIST poverty at the same
moment that the nation is declared to be
prosperous. But when a difficulty arises
people like to get over it in the easiest way
they can, and our politicians in parliament
and writers in the press, acting on this prin-
ciple, hit upon all sorts of curious explana-
tons. Mr.. Disraeli declared, with solemn
ity and impressiveness that were very effec-
tive, that moisture Of the atmosphere in Ire
land in consequence Of the proximity Of the
Atlantic, was the cause Of popular discon-
tent. The Pail Mall Gazette, which knows
everything even better than Mr.. Disraeli, has
found out the cause Of our growing pauper-
ism. Ii is, according to the all-wise journal,
because poverty is a necessary concommitant
in q very high state of civiliz alton. A CAPT.
tal reason If we read it, as it was not intend
ed to be read. A man wears rings on his
fingers and goes barefooted, can hardly be
a wise man and il, here in Eng |
land, we could find out how TO do without |
the rings and get shoes, we might, on rhe |
whole, be gamers by such proceeding. 1
Can you, in America, tell US whether pau
perism is q natural and necessary growth in \
4 singh state of civilization p as we grow
n enlightenment and national wealth q GER
tain number Of US also grow in degradation
and misery. If so, then, perhaps our legis-
ators are not to blame, and the best way is

a WORD or ADVICE.

On the 9th Of December, 1869, the First
Labor Convention of the colored
laboring men Of the United States, under the
auspices Of the National Labor Union will be
held in the city Of Washington, d. G.. We
earnestly trust that its deliberations will be
controlled ~ prudence, candor, and common
sense, and that it will frown down any at
tempt to transform il into a politico.par-
tisan assemblage. The colored people, have
too much at stake at the present juncture to
allow any Of the political charlatans, who
are 50 profuse with their sympathy and ad-
vice, and who are ever ready to ride
upon any hobby upon which q little
capital may be made, to guide their
councils. They must act and think for
Observation-Disclosures Of party dictation
if they desire or expect the support Of
their white FELLOW toilers. The action OF
the National Labor Union is an earnest that
its professions of sympathy, are no lip SER
vice; that ito members are prepared to take
Ghem bv the hand, and aid, by every means
within their power, the dissemination among
them Of those priHciples, which have proved
50 advantageous to the white mechanics Of
the NORTH. Let them, therefore, eschew al
schemes Of a chimerical character, all actor
calculated to arouse sectional feeling, al
advice tending to excite the prejudices Of
rec or color; and act on the principle that
their true friends alone can be found in the
ranks Of labor and their safest counsellors il
those whose interests are identified witt
their own and the results will rebound t.
their lasting welfare, and justify the wisdom
which governed their action.

New York, October 10, 1869.
FELLOW WoRKMEN A few months ago.
the Collar Laundry Union, at the request Of
the manufacturers and laundrymen, equal
il sd their bill Of prices. After doing 90.
making a decrease on some kinds of work,
and an increase on others, the manufsctur.
ers combined and refused to pay the bill as
presented by the Union. After every effort
had been made by the Union to bring about
an amicable settlement, they were told by
the manufacturers that the bill of prices
would not be paid, and if they were not sat-
isfied they could cease work. A strike, &C.
cordingly was the result, which lasted for
over KLEvEN weeks, and was conducted with
great vigor and earnestness on both sides,
AT tue outset tu6 dUQ laun-
drymen posted notices in the workshops,
that no members Of the Laundry Union
would be employed and that they would reg
ulate the wages Of employees. Many Of the
prominent women connected with the organ
izatIoD, concluded that it would not do to re-
main idle, and started COOPERATIVE Laun-
dry and advertised for work, when they
found that the combination existing between
the manufacturers and laundrymen was SO
close that they refused to give them work to
do. Determined not to be baffled by this
obstacle, the girls at once concluded to 60
into the business of manufacturing,a and fur
nish the work for their own laundry. I'm
mediately on this being done strenuous effort
have been made and are now making to pre-
vent the dealers from purchasing their goods
and thereby preventing the goods of the
Laundry Union from finding market. In
order to overcome this obstacle, q company
has been formed under the title Of the "Troy
