The Geneva Arbitration,

GENEVA, Aug. 21.-The Board met to-day
at noon, and at 3:45 p. m. adjourned until
Friday. No information has yet been given
to the public. A long summary of the argu-
ments of Messrs. Waite, Evarts, and Cush-
ing before the Tribunal is published in the
StoiSs Times. The counsel impugn the con-
duct of the British Government in relation
to the Confederate cruisers, not only for al
lowing them to escape, but because they
were not subsequently seized, and were per
mitted to coal in British colonial ports.
GENEVA, Aug. 22.-The work of the Tri-
bunal of Arbitration draws to a close. Coun-
sci On behalf of the English and American
Governments have been more than usually
busy to-day with the Secretary of the Court,
in the drawing up of a statement of accounts
between the two nations, of losses occasioned
by the depredations of each of the Angl-
Confederate prlvateers.
GENEVA, Aug. 23.-The Board met at noon.
Mr.. Staempfi, the Swiss Arbitrator, was de-
sirous that an adjournment should be had
until Tuesday next, on account of a grand
musical festival, to which the gentlemen
connected with the tribunal had been in
vited, and at which 10000 persons are OK
pected to be present, but Sir Rounded PALM
er urged a pressure of business and the ne
cessity of diligence on the part of the Board,
and it was agreed to adjourn only until
Monday. 1t is probable that the work of
the Board will be completed before the 18th
of September A brilliant soiree was given
at the hotel of J. Bancroft Davis tonight.
All the principal local authorltleS were in
vited. The hotel and other buildings were
illuminated The report which has gain
ed currency that the Board of Arbitr alton
has awarded a lump sum of Jour millions
sterling damages to the United States, is
pronounced premature. The strictest secre-
cy will be maintained until a decision of the
Board is officially promulgated.
GENEVA, Aug. 24.-All the members of the
Board of Arbitrator, aud their families, with
the exception o. Alexander Cockburn and
Jacob Staempfi, dined yesterday with Mr..
and Mrs. Bancroft Davis. TIL reception
given in the evening by Mrs. Davis was at
tended by a brilliant company. TIL rooms
were festooned with flags, and the gardens
were illuminated. Many of the houses of
the residents were decorated in honor of the
occasion. The members lunched at the
country residence of Count FaVre, on Lake
Geneva, to-day.
GENEVA, Aug. 26.-The Board r~eassembled
this afternoon, and after a session of three
hours, adjourned till Thursday noon. The
session was scret, and only five of the Arbi-
traitors were present. The absence of the

counsel and agents of England and America
indicates. the conclusion of the considera-
ton of general questions, and that the final
work of the Board has been reached.
NEW YORK, Aug. ga Geneva special
says that the business of the Tribunal is
drawing to a close and a decision is expect
ed in two weeks. Accountants are calculat-
ing the amount of damages occasioned by
each cruiser. When this is completed the
Abitrators will render their decision First,
as to whether England is responsible for
each cruiser; and, secondly, being response
BILE, as to the sums she should pay. The
case of the Shenandoah excites an earnest
contest, the Americans pressing the case
and asking damages for the destruction of
whaling ships. The Georgia case has been
practically abandoned.
GENEVA, Aug. 27.-There is every reason
to believe that the Arbitrators have settled
in principle the question of indemnity, and
have fixed approximately the amount to be
awarded for vessels destroyed by the Con
federate cruisers. 1t is probable that the
total amount of damages awarded the Unit
ed States will be between 93, 200, 900 and
$4,000, 900. No dependence is to be placed
on reports which represent the amount as
above or below these extremes. Some fur
Their claims remain to be settled. The ques-
ton of payment of inter est on the sums
awarded, which has not yet been approach
ed, will be considered in Thursdays sitting

. New EPOCH IN MEDICAL H1sro

A NEW EPOCH IN MEDICAL HIsToRY.-

research and experiment have perfected
the work that reason and accident be-
gan. DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs
are the latest result of botanical inves-
tigation and pharmaceutical science.
This extraordinary medicine, composed
entirely of vegetable Ingredients culled
from the soil of our Pacific Territory, is
pronounced a remedy for every disease
not organic-of the stomach, the
liver. the bowels, the respiratory system,
the kidneys, the muscles, and the other
organs which make up the machinery of life.
All who have Witnessed its effects are in favor
of its universal adoption as the safest and
most reliable tonic known. Free from the
faint of alcohol, it is nevertheless a stimu-
liant, though not a dangerous e~xcitant. One
thing is -certain-no curative heretofore intro
duced to the public through the press
has ever obtained, in SO short a time, the &C.
lebrity of DR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs, or been supported by such unim-
peachable testimony. From that testimony
it is evident that this preparation is a specific
for Dyspepsia, Nervous Debility, Intermittent
and Bilious Remittent Fevers. Diarrhea, Dys-
entry, rheumatism, Gout, and all disturbances
of the secretive and excretive functions.

JuareZ.

President Juarez was buried in the
same cemetery where lies the body of
ex-President Miramon, shot by his Or
ders at Querataro. 1t is worth noticing
that Juarez, who had doomed so many
men to sudden death, died at last al:
most as suddenly as though he had
been shot by a vindictive bullet. Maxi
milan the brilliant, reckless Mira
mon; Vidawon, the ablest Mexican
General of the present generation, and
Mejia, the grim Indian, who remained
faithful to the Emperor when men of
better reputation betrayed him, were
only a few of the victims whose death
warrant Juarez signed. Whatever may
be said in favor of Juarez, however,
much his energy, patriotism, and in
domitable will may be praised, he was
certainly as merciless as the most vim
dictive Indian of the plains. His sue.
cessor is evidently a different sort of
man, for his first act has been to grant
an amnesty to all but two of the adher-
ents of the fallen Empire.

A Timely Protest.

An indignant man protests against
the uncut leaves of the magazines. He
SAYS it takes him thirteen minutes to
cut the leaves of his Harper, and that
those thirteen minutes are worth more
to him than the price of the magazine.
The Golden Age joins its voice to his,
and thinks there is no more sense in
sending out unfinished books than in
imposing unfinished hats and shoes
upon customers. 1t is an English GUS
tom, arising, probably, from the idea
that aristocratic readers have plenty of
time to spare in handling a ~paper-cut-
ter, that " cut leaves p~resuppose that
time is valuable and people are in a
hurry, which the Englishman looks
upon IS exceedingly ~plebeian."

Tunneling Harlem River.

Harlem river, which forms the north
ern boundary Of the Island of Manhat-
tan, on which New York is situated, is
crossed at the northern terminus of
Third avenue, in that city, by the we'll
known Harlem bridge. This means of
communication is not sufficient to &C
commodate the growing population, and
the New York Park Commissioners have
reported resolutions in favor of the i'm
mediate construction of a tunnel under
the Harlem river, at the end of Seventh
avenue, and of a suspension bridge
across the river from Washington
Heights to the opposite heights in
Wcstchester county. The tunnel, esti-
mated to cost $1,5OO,0O0, is intended to
be 1859 fe ct long, 16 feet in height and
"a feet in width, and is to be built of
solid masonry. The top of the arch is
to be seventeen feet below high water
mark.

AN ESSENTIAL OF LovELINEss.-To be en-
tirely beautiful. the hair should be abundant and
lustrous. This is absolutely essential to complete
loneliness. The most regular features. the most
brilliant complexion and pearliest teeth fail of their
due effect if the hair be thin, dry, or harsh. On the
contrary. the plainest face, if it be but surmounted
by luxuriant and silken tresses, is apt to impress the
beholder with a sense of actual beauty. That crown
ing ornament of her sex is, happily, within the reach
she is lovely, she long ago discovered that hYoN's
KATHAIRON was the sure means of securing 1t. No
preparation Tor the hair ever enjoyed a tithe of its
popularity, and no wonder, since it produces such
places of the scalp: it fructifes and enriches them
pretended that it will do this if the capacity for re-
production is extinct, but SO long as it remains that
wonderful rehabiliIant will assuredly propagate the
germ of the hair into life and activity.-GCom.
