New York. August Is. 1865

Allow me to call your attention to my PREPA-
RATION OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BUCHU.
The component parts are DUCHU, LONG LEAF,
CUBEBS, JUMPER BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATIoN.-Buehu, in vacuo. Ju-
niper Berries, by dstillation, to form gin. Gu
bebs extracted by displacement with spirits obtain
ed from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and small proportion Of spirit. 1t is more pala-
table than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by druggists, is Of dark
color. 1t is plant that emits its fragrance; the
action of fame destroys this its active princple)
leaving dark and glutinous dccoction. Mine is
the color of ingredients. The Duchu in my pre-
paration predoninates; the smallest quantity of
the other ingredients are added, to prevent fer
mentaton; upon inspection, it viii be found not to
be Tincture, as made in PharmacopGia, nor is it
a Syrup-and therefore can be used in cases where
fever or inflammation exist. In this, you have the
knowledge Of the ingredients and the mode of pre-
paration.
Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and
thatupon inspection it will meet your appreciation,
With feeling of confidence,
am, very respectfully,
IL. I. HELMB0LD,
Chemist and Druggist of 10 years experience.

HE EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN RAIL
wAY.-This is the name OF the great inter
national line of railroad over which President
Grant, and the gentlemen who accOmpa-
MED him from this city are taking a ride to-day.
The opening Of this road marks another era of
progress, the enterprise being one of national
importance. IL connects Halifax by rail with
Bangor, and consequently with Boston and New
York, and the great railway centres of the
country. and is expected, when in proper run
ming order, to be the means of reducing the time
Of passage between London and New York to
s'N or seven days. The road runs from Bangor
u marlborough, a DIS, nee of II. mrcs. Here
IL crosses Ire st. CroiV liver. the boundary line
between Maine and New Brunswick, and pro-
ceets TO St John, 81 miles. Thence il runs to a
point called Painsec junction, dsst-nce of 9s
miles; there connects with the Intercolonial
Railroad, and proceeds to Truro, I16 mills and
rom there goes direct to Halifax, 81 miles. The
entire distance IRON Bangor ID Halifax Is as
miles The section between st. john and Pain
sec junction was built by the New Brunswick
government, and that between Truro and Hail.
fax by the government Of Nova Scotia. There
Is gap in Nova Scotia IS miles in length,
between Amherst and Truro; but this is expected
to be finished by July of next year. Other por-
tons of the road are in operation. 1t has re-
ceived aid from Congress, and the States of
Maine and New Hampshire, and NAV be con-
sidered as opening under the most fiattering
and favored auspices. The entire cost of con-
struction and equipment thus far is sI,4iO,O0
When in full operation it Is intended to make
the journey between Halifax AID New York a
trip of thirty hours.

The hackmen of Washington did nobly in
behalf of the Chicago sufferers in giving the re-
ceipts Of their business yesterday to the relief
fund Now let us see what the street railway
companies, and especially the Avenue line. will
do in the same direction,-say for the victims by
the fires in Michigan and Wisconsin. They are
all able to give literally, so far as we can Judge
and this one, particularly, makes dollars in
profits where the poor men engaged in running
hacks make pennies. Besides, they have special
privileges, in consideration of which they should
be prompt TO respond to all well-founded appeals

Among the Westinghouse and those we'll
known here who have Loot by the CHICAGO fire
MT. Thomas b. Bryan is undoubtedly the heay-
lest loser. just what amount he has lost we
have as yet no means of ascertaining. but If
must be very large sum, as he was an extern
siye owner in real estate in the burnt district
which contained the noble edifice named BRYAN
Han, and other buildings well situated and
adaPtedfor business purposes. 1t is, however.
gratifying to know that he still has reasonable
competency lett, &C IDLY portion being invested
in this city. Mr.. Bryan was also President
OF the Fidelity Depot Company, of Chicago.
which saved all the books, papers and valuabIes
IN It's vaults, and it is more than likely that his
savings through this source were very consider
able, in bonds, securities, etc.
Ihe estate OF the late Hon. Amos Kendall has
a'sosustaineda comparatively heavy loss. Sew
eral years before his death, Mr.. X. became the
purchaser ofasquare Of ground located within the
limits devOured by the flames II was only mar
italy improved, however, and as the main value
was in the ground itself, the probability is thatit
will IN little time be worth as much as before
4 not more, especially if it should be selected
ior prominent business uses in the new arrange
ment Of Centers, as il now bids fair to be.
Senator TrUmbull lost a small collection OF
boOlS, and something bc~idcs i'm other persona
nothing in the way of real estate Judge L
says he feels better in having lost something
than If he had got of untouched, as one could
hardly feel comfortable if not required to make
scme sacrifice, when others were called on TO
give up % much.
Mrs. Briggs, better known 70 washingt 1nian
through her nan de plume of ''Olivia, is we are
sorry II see, reported to be heavy loser BY the
disaster We had much rather hear she had
lost something of her gushing style in literary
composition than in material effects
Senator LOgan's house was not burned, the
fire not reaching far enough into the south side
to touch il. Mrs. Lincolns house also escaped
unharmed. Nr. II. A. Chadwick, formerly of
Wizards Hotel, was engaged IN the saddlery
and harness business within the burnt district.
and il is probable that he has sustained consid-
cradle loss, but upon this point We have no par
ticulars.
IL Is likely that Others of our residents and ac-
quaintances have lost pretty heavily, but those
named above are all that have so far formally
come TO cur notice. We hope, also, the list NAV
not be increased
