Mr. H. t. HELMBoLD:

with both Inflammation of the Kidneys and Gravel,
when resorted to several remedies, without de-
irving any benefit whatever; and seeing your Ex-
TRACT BUcHU advertised, procured few bottles

short time. regard your Extract Buchu to be de-
cidedly the best remedy extant, for any and all
Diseases of the Kidneys, and am quite confident
that it will do all you claim for IT, You may pub
Ish this if you desire to do so.
Yours respectfully,

NASHVILLE. Feb. 2, 157O.-I certify that l have
used various stomach and tonic bitters, but none
have given so sure and speedy relief as " Cottons
Southern Star Stomach Bitters." As a tonic and
gentle purgative nothing ever gave me so much
relief in so short time. The bitters cured me OF
a very violent cold in twenty-fogr hours.

The Deed iS Done.

We have arrived at the end of the
world-the final jumping Off place
politically speaking. There Is moth
Ing more to be done, either of aggres.
sion or resistance, In the matter of
cuticular physics. Mr.. John w.
Forney has given a solution of the
problem of social contact, which he.
mt least, regards as final.
On Thursday evening last Mr.. For
ney invited to his reception all per-
sons, "witliout distinction of race or
color" and his generous call was ac-
cepted generously. In the miRgling
crowd might have been seen Gen.
and Mrs. Grant; Prof. Vashon (col-
ored(, of the Howard University, and
Mrs. Vashon; Secretaries Fish and
Boutwell,, with their ladies, and
John +. Cook (colored(, city Regis
ter, and Mr.. Thomas (colored artist,
and their ladies'; Attorney General
rioar, Postmaster, General Creswell,
Senators, Representatives, Radicals,
Copperheads and Indians.
1t Is probable that the contact
caused q terrible social commotion.
and that all the colored men insisted
arrogantly upon marrying all the
white women on the spot-snd vicc
versa-but of this grand and almost
inevitable catalasm, the telegraph is
silent. The wire never becomes so
reticent, as when some impending
ruin like this of Forney's, requires il
to be alert and full Of warming.

strangely speechless. Many Demo

a word about their rushing out! Not
a word about their assembling I'm the

more probable that they refused To
sit down at the table; that they
called the attention OF the host to
their superiority as blondes; that
they plunged precipitately from the
parlors, seized the most valuable hats
upon the bat stand, and rushed out
to drown their modification at the
corner grocery. Such Ia life--and

A CALIFORNIA paper OF q recent
date contains the following: Born
in Healdsburg, January I'd, to the
wife of ], III. Curtis, son. Having
observed the above notice which ap-
peared In the Gazette of yesterday
morning, Judge Curtis called at our
sanctum and requested us to set him
right before this community. He
says he was nevsr married In his life,
and the announcement that q son
had been born to his wife was with>
out any foundation in truth. More
over, lie says, that. even If the story
OF his marriage was true, he had
neither been to California or seen his
wife for a period of three years, and
how an event of that character could
happen after such an absence, is to
him quite a mystery, and which he
is wholly unable to solve. The Judge
thinks he would be ia the same dilem-
ma of the soldier, who went to the
wars, and after period of four years,
returned, finding an addition of three
children to his family. Well you
might exclaim, "Who'sh been here
since I'sh been gone ?" ..

THE revolver argument does not
always carry. That IL is q very poor
argument to present to Rev. j. ID.
Potter, this incident shows:
At Galesburg, Mich, Rev. J. ID.
Potter held four days meeting, at
the end of which seventy-five per-
sons were bowed In prayer as ino.ir-
ers of these fifty were indllging
hope. In the place there was doc.
tor who had been O ninister. but
was now an inideI. 1t seems that.
though he did rot attend the meet
ings, he he'd taken to himself all
that TIE preacher bad said about In.
iidelity and was greatly enraged.-
lie called at the parsonage, and, i'm a
fury of rage, addressed the evangel-
list: "Did you mean me last night ?'
II do not know your name, sir. III
the coat fits, please to wear It," AT
this, the ex-Rev. DIR. drew revolver
upon the preacher. who rose up and
said: "You miserable coward, do
you draw u pistol on me? Now trot
down, quick step" The wouId-be
assassin looking upon the giant form
and seeing that lie meant what he
said, pocketed his pistol and depart
ed with more haste than dignity.
