The Complaint of the United States.

a r
 In the course of the long discussions between the United States and English governments, which followed the close of the insurrection, it became the duty of MT. Adams acting for his government, he maintained had been established by the United States. This he did in the following language, addressed to Earl Russell:
 It was my wish to maintain-1. That the act of recognition by her Majesty's government of insurgents as belligerents on the high seas before they had a single vessel af1oat was precipitate and unpre- cedented. N
 2. That it had the effect of creating these parties beligerents after the recog- milton, instead of merely acknowledging an existing fact.
 3. That this creation has been since effected exclusively from the ports of her Majesty s kingdom and its dependencies, with the aid and cooperation of her Majesty's subjects.
 4. That during the whole course of the struggle in America, of nearly four years in duration, there has been no appear ance of the insurgents as @ belligerent on the ocean excepting in the shape of British vessels, constructed, equipped, supplied, manned, and armed in the British ports. ...- 5. That during the same period it has been the constant and persistent endeavor of my government to remonstrate in every possible form against the abuse of the neutrality of this kingdom, and to call upon her Majesty's government to exercise the necessary powers to put an effective stop to it.
 6. That although the desire of her Majesty's ministers to exert themselves in the suppression of these abuses is freely acknowledged, the efforts which they made proved powerless, from the inefficiency of the law on which they re- lied, and from their absolute refusal, when solicited, to procure additional powers to attain the objects.
 | 7. That, by reason of the failure to check this fragrant abuse of neutrality, theissue from British ports of number of British vessels, with the aid of the in all the ports of her Majesty's Adepen- dencies around the globe, has resulted in the burning and destroying on the ocean of large number of merchant vessels, and a very large amount of property belonging to the people of the United States.
 8. That, in addition to this direct in- jury, the action of the indirect effect of driving from the sea large portion of the commercial marine of the United States, and to a corresponding extent enlarging that of Great Britain, thus enabling one portion of the British people to derive an unjust advantage from the wrong committed on friendly nation by another portion.
 9. That the injuries thus received by a country which has meanwhile sedulously endeavored to perform all it's obligations, owing to the imperfection of the legal means at hand to prevent them, as we'll as the unwilingness to seek for more strin- gent powers, are of so grave nature as in reason and justice to constitute q valid claim for reparation and indemni- | ficatiOn

Paris Fashions.

The dress walking suits most in vogue, just now, and which are seen every where and are worn by every one, arc made of de laine-an inexpensive material, grace fully draped and trimmed, and even embroidered with ssoutache, color on color. These suits are always composed of skirt more or less trimmed, an over- skirt of the same material. or one har- monizing herewith, much longer behind than in front, almost as long, in fact, as the skirt, and looped very high on the hips, a vest basque, and small double talma, or mantle with cape, either of de laine or of black, bluish- gray, or bottle green cloth. .z.Rs:Er ss-sE
 Lingerie may be divided into two dis tinct classes 1; that for morning, and that for evening: The first is of plain linen the second is of muslin embroidered and trimmed with lace, bias folds of crepe de chine, and moss fringe either. of the same or a contrasting color. For eyen- ing lingerie there are flowing sleeves, and ehemisettes with plastrons or, in stead of chemisettes, crepe de chine fichus trimmed with white lace are worn. Randkerchiefs are very small, and ound- ed for the most part at the corners those for evening are trimmed with open-work embroidery and wide lace. Notwithstanding this elegance, hehand. kerchief is not longer an object of dis, play ;cit is not carried in the hand, but is left in the pocket.

FROZEN TO DEATH. M. Wilcox, who has returned from Plymouth Coun- ty, Iowa, says that three residents on homesteads in that county started with team for Broken Kettle for wood, but were over taken by the storm on the memorable Saturday morning. Two of the men dug their way into huge snow drift and remained there, while the other man proceeded on his way with the team. The men in the drift remained there day and 8 half before they dared to venture out, but suffered no material injury by their long confinement. The man who kept on his way, together with the team, was found, few days after frozen to death. near Suttin's Home, fifteen miles above Sioux City. As far as positively know, eight persons were frozen to death by this storm, within @ radius of fifteen miles of this place. The loss of stock within the same limits has been immense, and will probably reach four to six hundred horses and cattle.

ADVERTISING PAYs."- Oftentimes it pays the printer better than it pays the merchant. It is great mistake to sup pose that all the advertising done, now a-days, pays. It don't pay to tell the community with flourish of trumpets that you have wares to sell, better, cheaper, and more of them than your neighbor in trade, when it's lie, you haven't It don't pay to attract people to your place of business with promises of Glow prices, C largest stock, ""un- parelleled advantages" when there is no truth in it It doaa't pay to play upon the scredulity of the public. :" He who spitsl against thewind, ,spits in hiss own face," said the author of Poor Richards s Almanac, and so it is to-day. A fraud may succeed for a while,' but wait and see-little and big, the whole troop of falsehoods, by-and-bye, will come home to roost" "A AEsecKasge. sr'-' Fs

.ya aTheNAlahama Claims.

In the English House of Commons, MT. Disraei called the attention of the House to the paragraph of the Royal speech re- ferring to the Alabama claims. He ad- imadverted at some length upon the Treaty of Washington, for the faults of which he blamed the Foreign Secretary, Earl Granville, and tho Premier, MT. Gladstone. In view of the develop ments which had been made by the as- semblage of the arbitrators at Geneva, Mr. Disraei wanted to know why the Government was exultant over the edifi- cation it had given to Parliament on the subject. The Royal speech was signally unsatisfactory, and showed in his opin- ion that the Government still lacked a proper appreciation of the gravity of the question at issue between England and the United States. The American claims were greater than those which would follow 8 total conquest-th were preposterous and impractical, and if admitted would be fatal to the power and honor of England. Yet, said MT. Disraeli sneeringly, the whole subject is disposed of in one brief paragraph of the Royal speech. MT. Gladstone in re- ply said the Treaty of Washington itself shows that England is ready to make every concession short of national honor to establish friendly relations with America, and to set an example to be followed by other nations henceforth. The Government, said the Premier, is ready to explain everything in connec- tion with the treaty, but it will not ad- init that it has unwittingly made mis- take The naraoraph in the treaty is the only fair. and unmistakable inter: pretation of the treaty. He could, if he desired, refer to the preposterous character of herAmerican demands, which of itself proved their absurdity, for they were such as no people in the last extremity of war, or in the lowest depths of national misfortune, with the spirit of the people of England in their hearts, would9eversubmit to. Cheers. l MT. Gladstone concluded by saying the Government would mantain the position it had taken lfrmly though in friendly mannar

Pain and its Panacea.


 While pain is 8 condition of human ity, every effort to ameliorate its inten- sity, or remove the predisposing cause, sideration, and it's success our frank acknowl- edgment. There is a peculiarity about the sensation called pain which is of infinite service It is premonition of impending ill, declara- tion of war against the well being of the body which cannot be removed while the cause exists. Remove the cause, and the effect will cease, endeavor to cover up the effect, and the cause will be intensified, the anguish temporarily ardor. Many remedies merely do this, and after repeated trials, fail to satisfy the condiS tions upon which only can they be useful to humanity. Such medicines have brief popu- larity, and are retired as unworthy of public approval. There are others which time tries but to enhance their value, to endorse and spread abroad their usefulness and common humanity, the public, is perpetual gainer by their extended popularity and expanded sales. Of these, perhaps there are no such two nota- ble instances as the Davis Pain Killer and AL lens Lung Balsam. The pain killer may be styled the mathematics of medicine, for it n ,ver mako mistake, it's modifying influence pervades the system, and one0srial only is requisite to make it O treasure forever. It does not merely cover up, x cures. All the civilized nations of tEe earth admit it's value, accept it's fame and benefit by it's use. It IS no t1attery to compare it to the sovereign balm spoken of in the Holy Writ, for pain flies from its pres ence, as night is dissipated by the rising sun. Externally, internally and eternally it proves It's value wherever tried. The same holds good of Aliens Lung Balsam, which, for all com plaints of the air passages of the lungs, has proved itself what it professes to be-a positive specific. The western world owes debt of gratitude it can never repay to T. H. c. Allen, whose instrumentality was the main spring ot the introduction of these medicines. For years he was the painstaking pioneer of the Pain Killer and other remedies westward, and the old man ard matron, the sturdy pioneer and his courageous heigmeet, now enjoying pros fort they received years and years ago from these medicines, when drug stores were few and doctors far apart. Under providence they will attribute their green old age, lusty and kindly, to their acquaintance with these mix lures, through the admirable ADVERTISING EN- TERPRIsE of T. Fl. c. Allen.

A LARGE DUCK Eaa.-A Mir. Thorn hill of Crumpsall Green, near Ranches ter, England, contributes to the Man chester Guoroiasa the following story o1 an extraordinary sized ducks egg. Re says he recently found one of his ducks dead upon her nest. She had been ail- ing for some months, and could neither eat nor lay. The body was opened, and there was taken from it an egg, which we have seen, and which measures 18a inches in it's greatest circumference, 153 inches at the smallest circumference, and it's capacity is 24 pints of water. It con- tained three yolks, and after they had been drawn the shell weighed eight ounces. The duck was cross between Muscovy and an Aylesbury, and was of the ordinary size."

COLLISION AT SEA. steamship Colorado, which sailed from Liverpool for New York, when just outside the Mersey, was run into with great violence by the steamer Arabian, inward bound. The Colorado received severe damages, and was run ashore to prevent her sink ing in deep water with all on board. The Arabian, which was comparatively uninjued, rescured all the passengers, of the Colorado, except five steerage passengers, who, it is supposed, jumped overheard in the panic which followed the shock of the collision, and were lost. The passengers were brought back to Liverpool, where they will be trans ferred to another steamer. The Color ado grounded off Crosby, at the mouth of the Mersey, where she lies full of water

CALIFORNIA HERDsMRN. -One of these herdsmen, says writer. was seated cook Ing his little rashers of bacon in frying pan, over bed of coals, while his shep- herd-dog and two or. three sheep looked on with a good appetite or wondering eyess These herdsmen have strength and health in abundance. They speak to their sheepwords of kindness; while their sheep hear them, know the sound of their voices, understand the meaning of their words, and look upon all these herdsmen as very proper guides. Where the sheep are, there you will find the men. All the season do these herdsmen stay with their 1ocks, guarding them by night and day. Not that one man does all this work uninterruptedly and alone, but each does his share. When tired, he rests, and another takes his place. So the sheep are never left without some one to defend them from wolves or such enemies as travel around this or other countries, looking for chance to live without work, not caring what they steal only so it will support life.
