The Abomination Of Desolation.

A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette
gives graphic account of the state of the
environs OF Paris, only two months ago
so smiling and luxurious. 'After you
leave Brie," he writes, s.you don't see a
creature but Prussian soldiers. In every
direction the French have blown up the
bridges, dug bitches across the roads, and
cut down the poplars which bordered
them. that they might become obstacles in
the way.
The superb bridge which spanned the
Seine at Villeneuye is now replaced by
Prussian pontoons. Villeneuve itself is
completely denuded of inhabitants. Not
even a cat or dog is to be seen; absolute
desolation reigns everywhere. The charm
ing villas are now barracks. Common SOL
diers lie asleep on sofas upholstered in
crimson velvet, which already is utterly
spoilt. Prussian dragons and light cav
alrymen take their ease in the deserted
boudoirs of lovely Parisiennes, now per-
haps almost destitute in foreign lands
Libraries become harness rooms, fires are
lit with o6jets dart and kept up with
orange trees from the splendid conserya-
tories.
How the country people of this part of
France will keep body and soul together
few weeks hence is problem far beyond
my powers to solve. Sahara itself will
not be more destitute of the means of sus
tenance.n

Ipropose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not patent medicine. The objection which gener-
ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in
medicine is publicity" Ii somebody should dis.
cover a remedy to prolong life, or an nfalbe cure
for cholera or consumption, what monster would
he be to withhold his knowledgei We have yet to
learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to
auote that may not heal others of their fellow men
of any disease"
Nor have we asked Pickwicks, affected prudes,
or, in short men who posses sed of every kind
of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin-
ions but their own. The Buchu is good thing. 1t
has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to
attest its virtues and commend it. 1t is the preu
dice of bgots and the envy of "Quacks.'
