A pamphlet has just been published by
Steinkopf, in Stuttgart, entitled 1.-The Just
Cause OF Prussia. by a South German, -
which has caused some sensation in that
city. The author combats the opinion that
the policy of Prussia in 1865 in spite of its
brilliant success, was morally wrong, and
that South Germany in accepting its results
and lending it her support would be sane
tloning crime. He argues that the great
national mission of Prussia and the aspira.
tions and requirements of Germany forced
the Prussian Government to net as it has
done, and that it is only by hearty and
thorough reconciliation with the North that
the Southern States can hope to attain n
healthy development and the longings OF
Germany can be satisfied

The Robbery last Week.

Just as our paper was going to press last
week, we learned of the robbery of the jew
elryes ablisment of NJ. a Miller in this city
Our city readers have doubtless ere this,
learned the particulars, but for the informa-
ton of our readers elsewhere, a brief state
ment is given.
The jewelry establishment of Mr. Miller is
located in the bookstore of E. j Bently; on
the morning of Thursday last, between / and
O'Clock, the front door was entered 10y some
person orpersons, by a false key. The thieves
were unquestionably acquainted with the
situation of things inside, and knew where
the articles of value were kept on deposit in
the night time. They took the valuably jew
elry, gold and silver watches belonging to Mr.
Miller, also between IS and so watches be-
longing to customers. All the watches in
the store except three, were taken, which
three were OF no particular value The loss
as stated last week, was exaggerated : we
learn the estimated loss to be between 81, 600
and 81, 500.
The loss of course falls heavily on Mr.. Mil
Ter, but fortunately he has sufficient means to
purchase new stock and furnish full assort-
ment fer the market He has already, we
Qearn, taken active measures for this purpose.
he also intends among other precautionary
measures, to provide himself with one of the
most approved burglar proof safes.

resolutions. The Sons of Temperance also
adopted suitable resolutions. The funeral

When the PLANTATION BITTEas were first
made known to the American people some
seven years ago, it was supposed that they
were an entirely new thing, and had never
before been used. SO far as their general use
in the United States is concerned, this may
be true. 1t is also true that the same Bitters
were made and sold in the Island of st.
Thomas, over forty years ago, as any old
planter merchant or sea captain doing busl-
ness with the West indies will tell you. It is
distinctly within my recollection that on the
return of my father (who was sea captain.
and doing an extensive trade in the tropics, }
he would invariably have these Bitters among
the ships stores, and our family sidebo ard
was never without them For any sickness,
it matters not how severe or trifiug, the
decanter of these Bitters, by different
name, was always resorted to as a sovereign
remedy.
