Mexico and the United States.

Poor Mexico is more hopelessly sick
than Turkey. As the early demise OF
the Ottoman Empire is watched tor
much as the death OF a miser is by a
heartless heir, so is the end OF the
Mexican Republic looked forward to
with satisfaction by the United States,
the heir-apparent to the heir OF the
Mon,ezumas. The absorption OF that
Republic into this is orly question
of time, and the tine is not very far
off either. The opposition to Maxi
milan was largely due to tear that
under his swa. the nation would recu-
perate and save itself from the imrend
ing doom. The halt-ciyiiized halt
breeds of that country cannot govern
themselves. As well might Peni-
tentiary be managed throughout by
the convicts within its inclosure-
Since the tragedy enacted at Queteta-
70, the bad has been steadily growing
worse, and the superlative degree is
near at hand. Mexico, as a nation by
itself, is, without a pcradventure, in
the last stages of decomposition
Thirty years OF almost lneessant war
have filled the land with desolation
violence and despair. Poverty leads
to robbery, and that, in turn. leads to
still more ahjest poverty. The pres
cnt condition OF affairs there could
hardly be more heart -sickcning. The
Congress accomplishes nothing spend
ing its time in empty buncombe speech
cs, except when busy il legislating III
the interest OF some corrupt ring. Re
be!lion is ubiquitous and often tiiumph-
ant Commerce is at as low an ebh as
possible. Industry is dead. Railway
construction has ceased. Manufactures
are idle, and the people only raise
enough to meet their present wants,
and hardly that, tor the roads and
towns TEEN with bandits, thieves and
assassins, and in many parts OF that
eminently productive country famine
rages The best OF the inhabitants are
torsaking the land. The Mexican
Globe, OF late day, says that More
than thirty individuals belonging to
the commerce OF this city leave by the
French steamer which sails from Vera
Cruz on the 18th OF Mprch. We are
told that the most OF these depart for
good, and that others have only por-
ton OF their caoital in the business
which they have pursued here. For
eigners, also, are Withdrawing their
capital from the country" on the
whole, incorporation into the United
States alone can improve the condition
OF things there. The initial step must
be taken by the Mexican Government.
Juarez, or some future President, will
probably sell out, in whole or in part,
rather than allow an insurgent to gain
possession OF the Governments; or il
may be that in the defense of national
honor, or to enforce the rights of
wronged American citizens, war will
arise between the nations. resulting,
tcrritorially, much as the first Mexican
war did. by Whatever means brought
about, no future contingency is more
certain than the final political ldentiti-
cation Of Mexico with the United
States.-[ Chicago Journal.

Northern Iowa. where we get our
greatest majorities, will insist upon
the Senatorship. The question Of To-
cality is, OF itself, OF little value, but it
is not to be supposed that all the tai
cnts OF this State lie in the southern
part. Judge Williams, though little
known out OF Iowa, and not much
known TO the general public in the
southern halt OF the State, is yet with
out superior, in intellectual power,

How TO CURR A CANCHR.-A Mil.
waukee paper states that some eight
months ago, Mr.. I. B. Mason, of that
city, ascertained that he had a cancer
on his iacethe size ofa pin. 1t was cut by
DIR. Wolcott, and the wound partially
healed. Subsequently it grew again,
and, while he was in Cincinnati on
business, it obtained the size OF hick-
ory nut. He remained there since,
Christmas, under treatment, and is
pei fectly cured. The process is this:
\ piece OF sticking plaster was put
over the cancer. with circular piece
cut out OF the centre little larger than
the cancer, SO that the cancer and a
small circular rim Of the healthy skin
next to it were exposed. Thena plastor
made OF chloried OF zine, blood root
and wheat -four was spread on piece
OF muslin the size OF this circular open,
in. and spilled to the cancer tortwen-
tytour hours. On removing it, the
cancer will be founfburnt into, and
appear OF the hardness and color of an
old shoe sole, and the circular rim out.
side OF it will appear white and par.
boiled, as it scalded by steam. The
plaster kills the cancer, Sc that it
slorghs out like dead flesh, and never
grows in again. The remedy was dis
covered by DR.. Fell, OF London, and
has been used by him tor six or eight
years with untaillng success, and not a
case has been known Of the reappear-
ance Of cancer when this remedy has
been applied.

A PAcIFIc TELEGRAPH.-Sincet the es-
| tablis hmeut of the line of steamers be
tween San Francisco and Hong Kong
there has been a considerable increase
| in the trade of our Pacific coast with
China and Japan, and the want OF di-
rect telegraphc communication be-
tween ASIA and & lifornia is already a
serious Inconvenience. At present the
San Francisco merchan. is obliged to
send messages to China, by way q
New York, London, the Red Sea and
India course involving much delay
| and very great expense. When the
Pacific railway is completed. the trade
between Europe and Asia, that now
follows the overland route across the
Isthmus OF Suez, will flow thro gh
San Francisco and New York, and a
Pacific submarine telegraph will be
come an absolute necessity. Fortu-
nately line from California to the
Loo Choo Islanks, with branches thence
TO Japan and China, could be laid by
way of the Sandwich Islands and the
numerous small islands in the Anson
and Magellan Archipelagos, without
necessitatlng at any part of the route
| except that between California and the
Sandwich Islands, the submersion of
more than one thousand consecutive
miles OF cable. Even the longest ca
ble-that required to connect Sa:
Francisco and Honolulu-would be
less than twenty-four hundred miles In
length. Since the successful laying OF
the Atlantic cable, We not question the
practicibli,y OF 4 Pacific cable, and it
is probable that the latter could be
lald and kept in order with less effort
than would have been required to
build the Collins overland line-an en-
terprise which has been totally aban-
doned and already nearly forgotten
The Pacific cable should be laid and
in working order by the time that the
Pacific Railway is opened, and it is
time that enterprising merchants were
actively interesting themselves in the
matter.

tor applicants tor Office to forward

concentrations, when they are not able

OF candidate fitness for the place by
looking at his photograph than by

with fine open countenance. of hon.

and an appearance of determination
