At the risk of making this letter look
like an obituary, must mention the de
cease Of another member of that great
financial house, Of which the bead and
chief representative died here a short
time ago. The Baron Nathan de Roths-
child, nephew and son-in-law of the late
Baron de Rothschild, of Paris, and son
of old Nathan de Rothschild, of the Lon
don Stock Exchange, died o few days
since, after eighteen years. nf what might
be called existence. rather than life.
There are many persons here, who can
still remember the beau eHae hpmmei 30
elegant in person, dress and manners,
who was the life of the Jockey Club, the
race course and the ball room. When
still under forty years OF age his
sight first began unaccountably to
fail him, and then, gradually, bis
other senses and limbs, until
literally nothing was left but his mind.
The soul seemed to survive the body, and
the latter, unable in any way to serve the
wants of the former, may be said to'have
sat for eighteen years in an arm chair,
waiting fof death. Arms, legs, hands,
eyes, every member had lest the power
Of being useful, and made their unhappy
owner absolutely dependent upon the
care of Others, Nothing remained Of
this extraordinary existence but the
mind. But that was wonderfully brill
liant to the last; and from his arm-chair
even, Baron Nathaniel de Rothsohild
made his existence felt, il may almost
be said, over the world. Perhaps such a
life was not harder to bear for him on
whom it fell than for the still young wife
who left the world and society to devote
herself 10 supply the privatlqBs Of .her

The Amazon rises IN the Peruvian
Lake of Laricocha, just below the limits
Of nerpetua snox. Eor f.e hundred
miles il flows rapidly through "a valley
Then. turning sharply to the eastward,
n rms two thousand miles across the
greatest equatorial plain. Two thous-
and miles above its mouth It's width Is a
mile and half increasing to more than
ten miles at the head Of the delta, where
il divides, and after running four hum
dred miles presents front o. one hun
dred and fifty miles upon the ocean.
For great distance it is bordered by
side channels or bayous, as they are
called on the Mississippi, named by the
Indians "igarapes' or canoe paths.
From. Santarem, the principal town
above Para, one may paddle thousand
miles, parallel to the river without enter
ing the stream. For twenty-five degrees
of latitude every river that flows down
the eastern slope of the Andes is an
affluent of the Amazon. 1t is as though
all the rivers from Mexico to Oregon
united their waters in the Mississippi
A half score of these tributaries are
larger--the Danube excepted--than any
European river outside of Russia. The
volume of its waters is greater even than
the breadth of the river would indicate.
Al Nauta. two thousand four hundred
miles from its mouth, the depth is forty
feet, increasing rapidly as it approaches
the ocean The largest ocean steamer
could doubtless steam two thousand
miles up the Amazon.
The vegetation of the valley is exuber-
ant There is bewildering diversity of
grand and beautiful trees, wild uncon-
auered race of vegetable giants draped
and festooned by creeping plants. The
you land on shore you are con-
fronted by solid wall of vegetation,
through which, if you wish to proceed,
you must hew your way with ak or ma
cheta. Palms, of which thirty varieties
are noted, constitute the majority of
trees. Then there are. COW trees, a
hundred and fifty feet high, yielding a
milk of the consistency of cream, used
for tea, coffee>and custards. The can

species from that of the East Indies, |

OF ornamental woods there is no end.
Foremost among these is the Mora Pin,

"Frou-FrOu.''

'Fro-Frou is destined to become an
American word. 1t Is already on the
lips of society, and soon the populace
will have it. In France " Frou-Frou "
signifies rustic of a silk; on the stage
it signifies light-hearted,, thoughtless,
merry girl, who walks over pitfalls with
a smile on her face. and goes to death
with a laugh on her lips In America it
will become the synonym for that fright
fully common and largely increasing
class Of fashionable girls who marry
without contemplation, becoming wives

and firts in spirit, and who kick over
the marriage traces without qualm of

BLADDER.
: Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the
importance Of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kidneys
is as important, nay. even more so, than regu-
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove
from the Blood those effete matters which. if
permitted to remain, would speedily destroy
life. total suspension of the urinary dis
charges will occasion death from thirty-six to
forty-eight hours.
When the Urine is yoided in small quanti-
ties at the time, or when there is n disposition
to Urinate more frequently than natural, or
when the Urine is high colored or scalding
with weakness in the small of the back, it
should not be triAed with or delayed. but Kos
koo should be taken at once to remedy the
difficulty, before Lesson of the organs takes
place. Most Of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those of the Kidneys. the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys.
prove irritating to the Bladder and Urinary
passages. When we reeollect that medicine
never reaches the Kidneys except through the
general circulation Of the Blood. we see how
necessary it is to keep the Fountain of Life
Pure.

against it, and they were the only
members of the House who did
vote against the measure. Hence
they cannot be trusted. The De-
mocracy generally, have learned
nothing and are just as stupid now

Here was new discovery of the
most profound interest. He gazed
long and curiously at himself, and
came to the conclusion that he had
found a mate. Going back to his
cage, he selected q seed from the
box, and brought it in his bill as
an offering to the stranger. In
vain the canary exerted him self to
make his new-found friend par
take. and becoming weary of that,
tried another tack. Stepping
back a few inches from the glass.
he poured fourth his sweetest note,
pausing now and then for reply.

although the door was repeatedly
left open, refused to come out

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

We can now, perhaps, survey
the political field as intelligently
as we shall be able to do at any
time previous to the election. The
issues, if not fully developed, are
presented in q shape in which they
can be understood. The people
regard the Republican party as
the hope of the country, and will
continue to entrust it with power.
II it has erred, its errors have been
of character which reflect honor
rather than discredit upon the or
ganizasion.
The party goes before the coun-
try with a record of which it's
memb bers way we'll be proud. It's re.
duct;on of the national debt; the re
lief it has given in largely lessening
the taxes, and placing the public
credit upon firm and solid basis.
has shown its ability to deal with
financial issues in a manner en-.
tirely satisfactory to the people,
and advantageous to the country
The expenses of the administers
ton have been brought down to a
very low figure-being now only
one hundred millions per year
This is but little above the expen-
ditures of the Government lust
prior to the rebellion. Indeed it
is comparatively less, for we must
take into account the fact that our
territorial area has been greatly
enlarged, and the expense Of gov,
erning and protecting tho newly
acquired territory, and maintain
ing force on our western frontier
for the protection Of settlers, is
greater now than it was in 1860.

lar, and the people will sustain it,
and defend it from the attacks of
its enemies. His foreign policy
