IT is said that Calisaya Bark has peeu-
liar effect on the liver, and guards the sys-
tenn against diseases by exposure and
irregular diet. 1t Is conceded that the
great success of the wonderful PLAETA-
TON BITTERs, which, previous to our late
unhappy difficulties. was found IN most
Southern homes, was owing 10 the extract
of Calisaya Bark which it contained as
one of the principal Ingredients. In con-
nrmation OF this we nave hesTd one OF our
distinguished Physicians remark. that
whenever he felt unwell from ordinary
dietetic or atmospheric causes, he invaTia-

DR.. Cloud then stepped forward and
proceeded to deliver a lecture on
Chemistry, which he has closely
studied for a great many years. He
said it had been a long while since he
had delivered a lecture, but on the
present occasion, he esteemed it as q
privilege, as member of the Board
of Education, to do all in his power
in aid Of such affairs. His discourse
consisted Of scientific facts, expressed
in the choicest rhetoric, and which
we win not attempt to report, as we
could not do justice to his remarks.
He performed several very interest
ing experiments, one of which was
the manufacture OF perfume of the
odor of bananas, which he produced
by distilling fusil oil, sulphuyic acid.
and acetate Of potash.
In an incidental way, he called the
attention of members of tho City
Council, who were present, to the
need Of scientific apparatus in the
public schools. He told what had
been done in Louisville, and said a
few hundred dollars spent for this
purpose each year, in our city, would
be Of incalculable benefit to the
pupils of the schools He explained
in very clear manner the great sim
plicity Of the electro magnetic tele-
graph, and had line Of telegraph in
operation in the room. He showed
the force Of attraction and repulsion,
