ANCIENT AND MOD-Ra CAsRLS.

The facilities obtainable by water communication
were wen understood by the anciens. and the Orgi
nal idea Of constructing canal across toe Isthmus
of Suez connecting the Red Sea with the Medlter-
ranean was carried into effect during the reign OF
Rameses IL, King OF Egypt. Subsequent changes
Of government, foreign INVASION and internal diffi
culties, however, caused this stupendous work to
fail into decay. Several successive attempts to
establish 1t were made OF various periods, but
eventually even the traces were with diicuty to be
found.
Even the Chinese, so Oft classified by historians
among the barbarians OF tie universe, had their
canal, which was constructed upwards OF 600 years

mansions and for the boldness OF Its execution In

22 BEAVER STREET, NEW YORK. Nov. 8, '6S.
10 the People Of the Southern States
When the pure medicinal restorative now so
widely known as Wolfe's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS,
was introduced into the world, under the endorse
ment OF 1000 leading members of the medical pro-
fession' some twenty years ago, its proprietor was
well aware that it could not wholly escape the
penalty attached to new and useful preparations.
He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with the
strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit
ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. 1t was submitted to distinguish
ed chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them
the purest spirit ever manufactured It's purity
and properties having been thus ascertained
samples of the article were forwarded to 10 600
physicians, including all the leading practitioners
