HOMEOPATHY

DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
HUMPHREYS
VETERINARY SPECIFICS,

One of the great triumphs of Homeopathy is the
cure of diseases of DOMESTIC ANNALS. The
Horse, the Gov, Sheep, Dog, and even Hog, are
cured of the several diseases to which they are
subject, by the small doses of Homeopathy, with
a degree Of certainty and rapidity that is ANA
ring. Some diseases inourabie by the ordinary
means are rapidly cured by this method, while
the ease with which the medicine may be given
and the rapdity of the cure is perfectly delight
full. No one who hiss witnessed the astoni. hing
cures performed on Domestic animals by Hum
phrey's Veterinary Specifics would willingly
subject them to the barbarous tortures and the
lingering uncertainty of the old system.

The Conditions of Peace.

tits evident enough that the French Re-
public, at this time, has no offensive strength,
ghatever its powers OF passive resistance.
The ministers are men OF little note, who do
not enjoy the full confidence OF the people;
and, were it possible for every Frenchman
who can carry musket, or WELD sabre, to
be put in the field, what would be the value
of masses of brave but undisciplined men,
when opposed to the perfectly organized
perfectly equipped and equally valiant SOL
diers of the victorious German army? The
neutral powers are not disposed to interfere
however they may dread the immense power
OF a united Germany. France is almost
without hope, and King William has the
power to make peace, and upon his own
conditions.
The great question, therefore, is, What
will Germany be willing to accept? Fight
ing to preserve herself from foreign inter-
ference, Germany will naturally require that
France shall be so fettered as to be incapa-
BILE OF harming her neighbors until the vast
work OF German uniication is complete,
and consolidated by lapse of time. But, it is
rumored, that Germany insists upon the an
neyation of Alsace and Lorraine, as well as
a pecuniary indemnity for the cost OF the
war. The repayment of The cost OF the war
Germany may properly require; it Is ques-
tion,ble however. whether it would not be
wiser to refrain from exacting, In addition
the surrender of Alsace and Lorraine.
Count Bismarck appears to be- disposed to
waive the question OF annexation, anu IL
correctly reported BY the New York Tribune,
would only require, as the main condition Oh
peace that Metz and Strasbourg be retain
ed by Germany as o protection against any
later attempts by France to reopen the
momentous questions, which were decided
upon the fields of Woerth ard Gravelotte,
and under the ramparts OF Sedan. This
proposition is moderate enough, upon the
assumption that France is at the mercy o.
her conqueror, and il, to the cession OF Metz
and Strasbourg, were added q Limitation OF
the French fleet and army, under the sane
ton of the neutral. powers, Germany would
enjoy, not all that she can exlct from
her PROSTATE foe, but all that it may be wise
for her to claim or accept. Germany can
now afford to be generous. Standing at the
head of the powers OF Europe, with happy
and united people, she may we'll refrain from
pressing her ancient enemy to the WALL and
from exaeting the bloody debt to the very
last farthing. And we firmly believe that if
Germany conclude peace without territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but with payment OF her
war debt and limitation OF the military
strength OF France, she would gain far more
in moral force, at home and abroad, than
she would lose by the refusal to absorb the
old provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. This,
we hope, will be the opinion of the great
men who direct the polity OF Germany.

ofice. Before meeting Ar. Webster, however,
he decided to study medicine, and soon after
graduating was chosen a professor In the
Charleston Medical College. Subsequently he
removed to New York. and became eminent as
a physician and medical writer.
a French paper says the 'Prussians are
wonderfully we'll informed of everything that
goes on, even to the smallest details Some
days ago regiment OF Uhlans entered viii
lage through which tine French army had
passed four-and-twenty hours before. The
French had with great difficulty obtained SO0O
rations from the country people, the Frnssians
required q, 900; they were told that was I'M
possible to comply with this demand, and thae
by completely despoiling the inhabitants 1t
would be impossible to collect more tnau q
quarter of what was claimed. The comman-
dant nulled some notes out of his pocket ana
looked through them "Where is Schultz :!
sa,d he ssHere am I, commandant,' replied an
honest fellow, reddening with pride at nndlng
himself known to so powerful person. "You
have three COWS, hundred hens. know
where YOU have hidden your oats; you with
drew your flour yesterday. Be SO good as to
fetch all that, and be quick about IT. Thus
the commandant called all the inhabitants one
after the other, and proved to them that he
was as well acquainted as themselves with
their resources. It Is needless to add that tne
25 900 rations were made up in an hours
time. The Prussians act in this manner every
where, thanks to the skill and number OF their
spies; and this explains how such great num-
bers always seem well provided with food.
