The CITY of Paris is under the con-
troll of tie Prussians. Elections are
being aad in different parts of France
with q view of securing a competent
Legislative body to enter into arrange
ments with Prussia for peace. In the
meantime the aspirants fos the French
throne are busy manipulating the peo-
pie so as to secure the succession
Napoleon, has written an ingenious
explanation of the disasters which are
upon the French nation; and declares
that he is the only legitimate ruler OF
that nation and that too, by the re
peated choice of the people Still. he
is willing again to abide their choice,
asserting that his policy alone can re.
store peace and prosperity to France.
The Orleans and Bourbon factions are
equally industrious in seeking public
favor. 1t is most likely that Napole-

The Greed.

q -Ee-r L H.H 49,
= We have often been greatly amused
IN reading theastory of travellers in
Jerusalem, concerning the rivalry of
the various sects and creeds in and
about the tomb of the Savior. 1t is
related, that sharp contests frequently
occur between Catholic, Protestant,
Jew and Turk, before reaching the
Mecca of the Christian. These rivalries
are no less rampant in Rome and else
where to-day. The Pope declares
that no professions will be allowed
by the, subjects of Victor Emanu--
ell, and that his people are real
kApersecuted-byathe Protestantsl
On the other hand, thu Protestants
contend that the Pope is a. usufper,
andkthe head 6f the mother of abomi
nationsi in. this country, the way is
made equally narrow by sectarnn BIZ
as. You must belong to our church,
and confess oar creed, or the gates
will be closed against you. 1t is not
possible for heterodox people to be
saved. Each sect has St Peters key,
and proposes to exclude all others,
and appropriate TO themselves the
priceless enjoyments of the future
state of existencei Even our pious
and exemplary neighhor of the Ash
land Times, seems to think he is en-
dowed. with power of excomh unica-
ton. and authority to judge and par
don the sins of othersi Hallucina-
.ions like these are amusing a well as
Ridiculous. To illustrate the positive
position, and high pretensions of many
very good meaning people. we give a
discussion which is said to have taken
place in a western church, on the sub
feet of baptism. 1t will suit Ashland
as we'll. 1t runs thus: III
One who does not believe in i'm
mersion for baptism, was holding a
-protracted meeting, and one night lie
preached on the subject of BAPTISM
In the course of his remarks he said,
some believe it necessary to go down
into tie water and come up out Of it,
to- be baptlsed. But this be clsimed
to be faiacy, for, the proposition ''into"
of she Scriptures should be rendered
differently, Tor it does NOT mean into

Roback's slomach Bltters.

Some time ago, DIR. Roback, of Cincin-
natl, through his agent in this place, j. A.
Maxwell, Esq, placed in our hands a bottle
of his Stomach Bitters, designed for dys-
pepsia, to give tone to the stomach, as a
preventive against the bilious complaints
incident to the Western country and, up
on using it, We regard it as second to none
in America or abroad. To be able to state
confidently that the Bitters are a certain
cure for dyspepsia and like diseases, is
to the proprietor q source of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, i'm
parts renewed vitality to the nervous sys-
tenn, giving it that tone and eueryy SO indis-
pensable for the reservation of health. The
numerous acknowledgements of its superior
excellence and benefcent results, have as
sured the proprietor that it can not but
prove Il great cure to the afflicted, and inn
part vitality 10 the through system. We
advise those who use bitters, to use none
but Robnck's, which can be obtained at J.
A. Maxwel"s Drug Store, in Upper San
| Iusky.
