from voting by the authorities, which accounts
for their absence from the polls.

The Camden and Amboy Railroad has as
little real bearing upon Consolidation as
upon telegraph to the moon. Consoli-
dation will create no monopoly which does
not already exist. 1t will give to the State
more than it will take. 1t will benefit the
public in equal degree with the stock
holders.

Mr.. HUME was not afraid to meet the re-
sponsibility, yet he felt that the people should
be heard in the matter, and favored the
amendment. He declared himself as opposed
to capital punishment.
The amendment was rejected.
The question then required on indefinite
postponement.
Mr.. BAKER thought the desire OF the House
was to settle the question to-day. He thought
the House had manliness to vote down every
side issue and take the real question right by
the throat. He hoped the motion to indef-
nitely postpone would not prevail.
Mr.. SMITH of Litchfeld, moved the previous
| question, the House seconded the call, and the
main question was then put which was on the
passage of the bill to be engrossed.
The House ordered the yeas and nays or
motion of Mr.. BAKER, and being so taken the
bill was refused passage as follows:

Allow me to call your attention to my
PREPARATION OF COMPOUND En-
TRACT BUCHU. The component parts
are, BUCHU, LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNI-
PER BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATIoN.-Buchu, invacuo,
JuRiper Berries, by distillation. to form q
fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displace.
ment with spirits obtained from Juniper
Berries; very little sugar is used and q
small proportion of spirit 1t is more
palatable than any now in use.
Buchu as prepared by Druggists, is of q
dark color. 1t is a plant THAI emits its
fragrance; the action of a flame destroys
this (its active principle), leaving a darl
and g~lutinousS decoction. Mine is the
color of ingredients. The Buchu in my
preparation predominates; the smallest
quantity of the other ingredients ar,
added, TO prevent fermentation; upor
inspection it will be found not to be a Tine
ture, as made in ~Pharmacopna, nor is it
Syrup-and therefore can be used in casel
where fever or Inflammation exist. In this
You have the knowledge of the Ingredient
and the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor il with q trial
and that upon inspection it will meet witt
your appreciation,
With a feeling Of profound confidence,
am, very respectfully,

A Large Herd of CameIs in Nevada.

From the Virginia City Enterprise, Sept. s.
On q ranch on the Carson River, eight
miles below the mouth of Six-mile Car
Won, and aSoUt seventeen miles east of
the city, is to be seen a herd OF twenty-six
camels, all but two of which were born
and raised in this State. But two of the
old herd of nine or ten brought here some
years ago are now living. 1t would seem
that the original lot fell into the hands of
Mexicans, who treated them very badly,
overlooking and abusing them. The men
who now have them are Frenchmen,
and men, it seems, who had formerly some
experience with camels in Europe.
They find no difficulty IN rearing
them, and can now show twenty-four fine
healthy animals, all of Washoe growth.
The camel may now be said to be thor
oughly acclimated in this state. The
owners of the herd find it no more difficult
to breed and rear them than would be ex-
perienced with the same number of goats
or donkeys. The ranch upon which they
are kept is sandy and sterile in the ex-
IRENE, vet the animals feast and grow fat
on such prickly shrubs and bitter weeds as
no other animal would touch. When left
to themselves, their great delight, after
filing themselves with the coarse heritage
of the desert, is to lie and roll in the hot
sand. They are used in packing salt TO
the mills on the river, from the marshes
lying in the deserts, some sixty miles TO
the eastward. They have animals that
easily pack LOO pounds.

When disease has undermined the health, and
the physical system has become Frustrated, a stimu
liant that Will not only~ strengthen, but remove the
cause, should be Immediately resorted TO. Kenta
distress is also a fruitful source of the breaking
down of the constitution, and the ravages of this
enemy to health are truly alarming. For all such
maladies Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have been
found unsurpassed. By acting directly upon the
digestive organs, they remove the heavy, disagree
able feeling after eating, so often complained of by
persons of a delicate temperament. As soon as
digestion is restored, the patient finds his strength
Increasing and his general health improved.
Thous1ni is of persons certify that it may be re-
lied on in all cases of weakness or nervous debility
attendant upon sedentary habits. The generality
of Bi'ters are SO disagreeable to the taste that they
are Questionable to a weak stomach. This is not
the case with Hostettsr's Bitters, which will be
found mild and extremely pleasant. Balsamic
plants, barks and roots contribute their restorative
juices to render it soothing and strengthening. Its
basis is the only pure stimulant which has ever
been produced, containing no Jus5 oil. or any
other deleterious element. The most careful and
skilful chemists have analyzed the Bitters, and
pronounce them harmless. This is scientific test.
.nonv; but the testimony of hundreds of thousands
who have experienced the preventive and curative
effects of the GREAT VEGETABLE TONIC and ALTER
ACIvE of modern times is still more conclusive

DISCOVERY DE A HUMAN SKELEToE.-For
several days past laborers have been en-
gagged IN digging a fosse for the foundation
of a building to be erected at the corner OF
Chartres and Canal streets, after having
cleared away the debris of ruined building,
which was twice orthr1ce Destroyed by ERE.
Bad luck seems to have attended that local.
ity. Yesterday one of the diggers found a
hard substance impeding mis- spade, which,
as the soil in that particular spot is Of old
formation and wet, surprised him. Care
fully showing the clay away a human skull
was discovered, and finally all the bones OF
a full grown person. The skull was partly
covered by cloth, and appeared to have
been buried for years, although quite sound,
except in one place, which seems to have
been shattered as if by a heavy stroke.
The laborers threw the remains u~nconcern-
edly into the heaps OF mud, scarce giving
the subjecta second thought-Nep Orleans
