! HELMBoLD's EXTRACT BUcHg, for Weakness
arising from excuses or early indiscreon attended
with the following symptoms: Indsposition to Ex-

Breathing, General Weakness, Horror of Di ease.
Weak Nerves, Trembling, Dreadful Horror of Death,
Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wakefulne.s, Dimness of

Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Countenance and Erup-

the Eyes. with Temporary Sufusion and Loss of
Sight, Want of Attention. Great Mobility, Restless
ness, with Horror of Society. Nothing is more de-
sirable to such patients than Solitude and nothing
they more dread, for Fear of Themselves; no Repose

These symptoms, if allowed to 60 on-which this

the patient may expire.
During the Superintendent Of DR.. Wilson at the

about twenty years of age.
Who can say that these excuses are not frequent-

Consumption? The records of the Insane Asylums,

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The Fifteenth Amendment has haunted
the Republicans long while. 1t is the last
of the questions which were given to the
country by the war and which belong i'm
mediately to the passions and rationale OF
the war. The Republicans ought to desire
to keep it open as long as possible; for
they have every thing to gain from it as it
stands But when the Fifteenth Amend
ment becomes sealed book there will
be an end of legal articles in behalf of
the civil and political status of the ne
gro. He has been made freeman, citi-
zen and voter. What elsea To this ex-
tent laws can certainly be made effectual.
But no further. To" take another step in
advance is impossible in law. The very
next step beyond is an invasion of human
nature Yet the more irresponsible of the
Radical leaders will attempt to force the
Republicans to take it, and in doing so
will divide their strength.
Every one of the Southern States recon-
structed under the Fifteenth Amendment
will fall into the hands of the Democratic
party, and the Republicans can not risk a
division in the North. On suffrage they
can hold together-n OF on any other prop
osition concerning the negro. Suffrage be-
llH SctIlCu lCofCo tuS ultldS loblluS w wv
but to agitate for social equality, which
can not be made to work as political in
strument Besides, the disappearance of
the negro question as live and progress
sive element in our politics will clear the
field for new divisions and combinations
upon financial topics, from which the Dem
ocrats have everything to hope. So that
the jubilation in Radical circles over the
the Fifteenth Amendment is pure efferves-
ence and amounts to nothing at all. A
very few months of universal suffrage will
develop the truth of this most thoroughly.
AS to the principle of State rights which
is struck at by the Fifteenth Amendment,
New England had better look out. She is
now the apostle of Capitalization, when
she owes her own unequal power to the
strict observance of State lines and juris-
diction. Virginia was cut in two. Texas
is to be cut in four. The same power may
reduce the six New England States to one.
That is the moral part of the Fifteenth
Amendment which the sharper Of the
Yankees should look to. The South went
to war to preserve slavery and lost it. New
England is trying to ruin the South in or
der to get consolidation of the government
by which she can only apprehend the loss
of her individuality and power.-Lan In

THE INCOME .TAx.-By law the limita-
ton on income taxes expires during the
present year; and although the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue has, in his an
nual report, recommended the continuance
of this tax, either at five per centum or q
reduced rate, Congress has not acted upon
the same. The question is now mooted as
to when this limitation expires, and the
matter has been carefully examined by the
officials of the Treasury Department. with
a view to its determination. Although no
definite action has been announced, it is
known that the Commissioner will decide
that income taxes are to be assessed up to
the end of and including the current year
of 1870, and that the levy will be made ac-
cordingly. This will be matter of sur
prise to the taxpayers, and occasion quite
an excitement among those who return
large incomes. 1t is understood that strong
opposition will be made to the further con-
tinuance OF this tax by Congress- Lancaster

AN INVENTION FOR FARMERs.-Mr. F.
d. Robinson, of North Haven, Mass, has
invented an ingenious apparatus for drop
ping feed to horses, cattle, poultry, ETC., in
the absence of the attendant. 1t consists
of hopper with a lid at the bottom, which
is made to drop at any time desired by a
small clock, working on the principal of
the alarm clock. If the farmer wishes his
cattle or horses fed at an early hour before
he gets out of his comfortable bed, or at any
time during his absence, he has only to fill
the hopper and set the clock, and the ma
chine does the work at the appointed
time.

From the tenor of the discussion on the tar
Law in the Senate yesterday, il would appear
that that clause which lays tax upon incomes
will not be revived, and that the payments to be
made this spring viii be the last of that kind.
But notwithstanding these indications. we
understand that those who favor the measure
still have strong hopes of getting IL through in
some other form. IL is possible they NAV sne-
coed, but in insisting on this course We thint
they viii commit grave error. The sentiment
of the country is almost unanimous in demand
ing q material reduction in the aggregate
amount Of taxes to be collected. and in no way
can this result be accomplished 30 naturally and
properly As by simply allowing the income tar
clause to remain dead letter. Conceived and
put in operation purely as . war measure, it
should be buried out of sight with other relics OF
the rebellion.
the re-enactment Of the income tax WA ouite
general through the chamber, and was noti,e-
ably pointed. Senator Sumner condemned the
tar ss inequitabie in principle, a. well a. had
In practice. He was in favor Of reducing taxes.
and thought they could not do better than IN
begin with tar which is not equitable in tn
operations, and which has now reached it's nato
raj death. Mr.. Conklng announced that when
the question came up properly before the Senate
he should take ground for the dismissal of that
tax, which British statesman had truly said
was calculated to produce a nation of liars. He
held that though equitable in theory, the in
come tax is grievous and demoralizinz in prac-
tice. Mr.. Casserly expressed corresponding
views Mr.. Sawyer maintained that the tax was
neither equitable in theory nor healthfui In
practice; and he pointed out its special ineauty
IN taxing poor mans income from his daily
exertions, which may be cut Off at any moment
the same as the rich mans income from fixed
capital. Mr.. Dsvisdwelt upon the demoralizine
influences of the income tax, and Mr.. Stockton
denied that any authority could be found to es-
tablish the justice and equity of the tax even in
theory.
Other Senators indicated a purpose to oppose
the re-enactment Of the tax when the question
should come up, but did not deem this the
proper time to enter upon the debate
In the House-the popular branch of Con-
gress, brought more Immediately i'm relation
with the peopie-the opposition to reyiving the
odious income tar is pretty certain to assume a
more positive and outspoken shape than it has
in the Senate, even.
