TO PHYSICIANS,

NEW YoRK, August 18th, 1868. Allow me to call your attention to my PREPARATION OF COMPOUND EX- TRACT BUCHU. The component parts are, psl B9GRH, RGBIi,1s LONG LEAF, CUBEBs, JUNI- MODE OF FPREPARATIoN.-Buchu in yacuo, Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form $ fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displace- ment with spirits obtained from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used, and Q email proportion of spirit. It is more pal atable than any now in use.
 Buchu as prepared by Druggists, is of a dark color. It is plant that emits it's fra grance; the action of q flame destroys this Gts active princip!e) leaving a dark and giutinOus dec0ction. Mine is tho color of ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predominates the smallest quantity of the other ingredients arc added, to prevent fer mentatlOn; upon inspection it will be found not to be q Ilncture, as made in Pharma- cop9a, nor is it a Syrup-and therefore can be used in cases where fever or infamma- tion exists.

A FEMININE WEAKNESS.

The most difficult thing in the world
for a woman to do is to get ready 10 go
anywhere. And there is nothing NO
man win resent quicker, or more tiercely,
than an intimation that she may possibly
miss the train. Our friend, BrayfOgle,
gives us an instance of this. Mr.. Bray
was supposed to take the ten o'clock train
on the Bee Line, to visit some relatives
in an interior town. Having suffered on
previous occasions for injudicious sug-
gestions, Bray thought that, for once, he
would let things take their natural course.
So he slipped his coffee and ate his eggs on
toast, while madame curled and powdered,
and danced attendance on the looking
glass, and tied bark on the back of her
head. Then Bray sat by the stove for an
hour and read the morning paper, while
the madame still. continued to get ready.
At last, just as he had reached the final
paragraph of reading matter, and was be-
ginning on the advertisements, madame
tied her bonnet strings under her chin,
took one long, lingering, loving look at
the image reflected in the glass, and
swcetly announced:
'EWell, my dear, I'm ready"
'Ready for what?" asked Bray, in
well affected astoaishment.
''To go to the depot, to be sure, " said
Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly.
ooh" said Bray, "rd forgotten.
Well, Madame, Cooking at his watch
that train has been gone thirteen min
utes. Just keep on your things, and
you'll be ready for the train to morrow
morning"
We draw veil over what followed.
We are assured, however, that next
morning Mrs. B. was ready an hour
ahead of time:-LadidnapOIiS Mirror.

orx1EE AT AuGusra

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
reports the arrival there of Gen. r. Il.
Lee, on the goth ult, accompanied by his
daughter and Col. Crowley, of the British
army. Gen. Lee is travelling for the bene-
fit of his health. The Chronicle and
Sentinel says:
We were sorry to see that the reports
concerning his Ill health were true, but
trust that our sunny cline viii have the
desired effect. Gen. Lee is on his way to
Savannah. where he will remain for some
time. and would have left on the Central
Railroad this morning, but at the earnest
solicitation of the Mayor and other gentle
men has consented to spend to-day in our
CITY. The General says that he desires to
see Augusta and meet with CUP citizens,
but wishes no public demonstration.
Despite the fall of the Confederacy,
whose fortunes he for so long time sus-
tanned despite the surrender of that rem
nant of the heroic army of Northern Vir-
ginia which he so often lead to victory;
despite the social and political revolution
through which we have passed since that
fatal day at Appomattox Courthouse;
Gen. Robert E. Lee still holds the first
place in the heart of every man and
woman in the South-is still loved and
honored as the greatest soldier, the purest
patriot and the noblest gentleman that
ever drew a sword in defense of Liberty
and Country. In our own beautiful city
Gen. Lee will find friend in every face
he meets; and he viii find, too, many and
many of the Boys in Gray, who, for
years, followed the banners and shared
the perils and the glories of the Army of
Northern Virginia, and who are still
proud of that army and its illustrious
commander.
Accompanying Gen. Lee and his daugh-
ter, is Col. Crowley, of the British army,
who is travelling in the South partly for
his health and partly for pleasure.

LADY GAY SPANKER ON
THE PACIFIC.
A Handsome and DashiDg Young

slopes
From the Sacramento (CaL) Independent of
March Il
The case of Susie Raper, indicted by
the grand jury of Elko County for grand
larceny for the stealing of band of cat
tie, has been on trial for thelasttwO days.
The courtroom has been crowded with
eager spectators ever since the opening OF
the case. The defendant is woman of
about twenty nine years of age, an Aus
tralian by birth, is rather prepOssessing in
appearance, has passable face, grace
full and well-rounded form and good car
rage. She came to Humboldt county at
an early day, and during her residence
there run many of IFS prominent citizens
a merry string.
As coquette she has been successful
in capturing the affections and coin of
many clever but ''spOoney" chaps all over
the country. She has cheek enough to
put up and attempt to carry out any kind
of q Job. Smart, bold and of winning
WAYS. she seldom missed her mark. She
can shoot pistol like a sportsman, ride
mustang with all the grace and dash of
vaquerO, drive bull team equal TO any
Missourian, and ia the parlOr or ball room
''get away" with most women of style.
She was arrested on the 18th of January
last in Lander county while attempting to
escape, and showed fight, nerve and skill
In the handling of six-shoOter on the
occasion. She was incarcerated in the
county jail here, being unable to procure
bail. She has a husband and three boys,
aged respectively nine, seven and five
years. Several attempts were made to
procure her release under writ of habeas
corpus, and when brought into court on
these occasions she acted as if it was fun.
During this trial she has sat by her able
counsel, rarely exhibiting any concern in
her face, and in passing to and from the
Jail has given up the OOquettish swagger
that generally characterizes her move
ments. When the keys were first turned
on her by the sheriff she gave way to her
emotions, and a flood of tears gushed
freely from her hazel eyes. This lasted
but moment, when she gave vent to
TRADE of abuse upon the heads of those
who had deserted her. After eloquent and
able arguments on both sides, the case was
submitted to the jury at five O'Clock last
night, which, after being out two hours,
returned a verdict of ''not guilty." An
other Indictment for grand larceny
stealing jewelry-is hanging over her, up
on which she will be tried next week.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
/ have been a sojourner among you
since November last, and off and on since
August, 1865. | have in the time trans
acted business with a great number of
men in various parts of the State; have
in the course of my business visited the
people of both town and country; been
in the legislative hall, the courts of JUS
tice; seen crowds of people at political
gatherings; attended church ON the Sab
bath; been at fairs and elections; have in
respectful manner talked politics with
the people, and candor compels me to say
that | have at all times and everywhere
been treated with the utmost kindness and
respect, and shall, until my dying day,
refer with pride and pleasure to the very
pleasant inter Iiews have had with the
people. 1t is lamentably true that riots
and bloodshed occur here as well as else
where, but certainly not to the extent
represented by the unworthy few, who,
having all to gain and nothing to lose by
agitation and strife, who consider them
selves ready mounted, with whip in hand,
booted and spurred, to ride the illiterate
and unlearned into high places and prof
its, wilfully aad knowingly misrepresent
the case; but like perjured witness in
court, arelikely to fail by proving toomuch.
That secret organizations have, and per
haps still exist, there is no doubt; that
they have done deeds of violence, / sup
pose none viii deny; but that they have
done one tenth of the harm that has been
done by the political agitators l do not
believe Where Ku- Klux have driven one
black man to town to secure himself from
violence by them, disappointed Office
seekers have, by their false representa-
tons, driven fifty, for the sole purpose of
usi-g them, that they may hold Office.
But even the black man is not so dull as
to be twice fooled the same way. Could
the President and Congress see Tennessee
as l have seen it, like me they would, !

project as simply absurd. | leave for my

ARNELL on EDUCATION AND RE-
LIGION.

The New York Tribune says: II the
massage of Congressional resolution de-
claring ''thai the Christian religion is a
mart of the common law of the land"
could have any legal or moral force, we
would give our opinion on the resolution
introduced to the House yesterday by MIR.
Arnel. But even if the declaration were
true. valid and binding, we would not be
able to see the logic of Mr.. Arnell's deduc-
ton. ''that therefore the use OF the Bible
in the public schools in the country is
eminently wise and proper, as tending to
encourage and foster virtue and morality. |"
In fact, Mr.. Arnell's resolution is exceed
ipgly confused, and shows that he has
studied neither Aristotle nor the school,
mcn-to say nothing of the Constitution,
the powers of Congress, State rights, and
the educational systems of the various
States. We often wonder that Congress

resolutions on great questions OF policy

time take the trouble to make their resC-

Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan has issued the fol
lowing circular:
CHICAGO, March SOTO the Secretary
of the Army of the Cumberland AS
Senior Vice President of the Society of
the Army of the Cumberland, the under
signed assumes the duty of making to the
society the saddest announcement it is
possible for it to receive-that of the sud-
den and most unexpected death of the
object of its supreme love and respect.
Our President, Major General George II.
Thomas, is dead. True and modest;
brave and trusted; the perfect type of a
soldier and gentlemau-he is no more.
The army and the country have
experienced an irrevocable loss,
but the loss sustained by his
children of the old Army of the Cumber-
land is that of the beloved father. His
noble life anG deeds need not be recited to
them. They are as well known and will
be as fondly remembered by every mem
Der of that old army as the dearest thing
they possess He died, as it was fitting
he should die, with his harness on, and
his fame without spot or blemish. 1t is
requested that the usual badge of mourn
ing be worn by the society for thirty days.
At its next meeting suitable steps will be
taken for a full commemOration of our
greatest loss. P. II. SHERIDAN,

lobbying for reconstruction. The people
of his county will learn of this with great
surprise, if they can be surprised at any
thing he may do or leave undone. My in
formation is that he pretended to be in
Washington for the purpose of urging the
payment of a claim for forty-ive thousand
dollars for damages suffered by virtue of his
Loyalty. am informed that he has already
received twelve thousand dollars of that
amount, and is still insisting on the pay
ment of the balance. Perhaps some OF
bis Sounty-men can give further informa-
ton of his business in Washington.

A Crow DROWNED BY A CLAM.-The
Camden (Me.) Herald says the following
is said to be a true story, the occurrence
having been witnessed by two old citizens
of Camden, John WEIGH and Mr.. Sher-
man, the latter since deceased. 1t took
place some years ago, and is related by
Capt John E. Daley. One summer Mr..
Sherman had a field of corn near Sher-
mans Cove, which the crows troubled
very much. One day when the two men
named above were in the field, they dis
covered a crow which seemed TO be stuck
in the sand on the beach. Comprehend
ing the "situation" at once, they deter
mined to await the result. The tide was
coming in, and gradually overwhelmed
Mr. Crow, who struggled hard to avoid
his fate, but unsuccessfully. The men
waited patiently till the tide receded,
when they visited the spot and pulled up
the carcass of the crow, with large clam
attached to his under jaw or bill! 1t ap-
pears that the crow, in his search for food,
had seen the head of the clam sticking out
of the shell and made dive for it, but
the clam knew a trick worth two of that,
and shut pan on his wOuld6be destroyer.
This is q solemn warning TO crows!
