PERFECT
w alter Repellant.

The preparation does not in
.jure the quality of the goods,
but improves the general ap-
pearance, and imparts addition
al frmness to the cloth, con-
tains nothing that will in any
way injure the feet, while the
process of preparation adds SO
little to the cost, that ladies
have no further excuse for wet
feet.
The lasting and lining being
both prepared, and the manu-
facturers being required to use
the best quality of lining, and
cause the same to meet and lap
over the inner sole, gives a dou-
BILE security against dampness,
and prevents any moisture from
penetrating to the sole of the
foot.

minutes it exceeded its high water mark,

The GENEVA ARBITRATIoN.-A spe-
cial to the Herald from Geneva says
1t has at last transpired that the ques-
ton of indirect claims has been definite
ly settled-the American agent and
counsel having been instructed by their
government to declare that the United
States government did not seek money
award for indirect losses, but only de-
sired settlement of the principle in
volved. Lord Tenterden, on the part
of his government, called the atten-
ton of the Court to the seventh article
of the treaty, which gives the arbitra-
tors authority only to consider claims in
relation to money award, and submitted
that since the United States government
declared they did not seek money
award for these classes of claims, they
could not properly be entertained by the
Court. The American counsel thereup-
on demanded Judgment on this issue by
the Court. The Court took time for its
decision, but is known to have decided
in favor of the point raised by Lord
Tenterden and against the admissibility
of indirect claims This Judgment will
be delivered, it is said, when the Court
meets next Wednesday. the Goth inst,
and is reported to be acceptable to both
governments. All the members of the
Court have left for Chamounix. They
intend returning Monday or Tuesday
next, when counsel on both sides will
exchange the results of their latest in.
structions and arrange the order in which
business will proceed. During the in
terval, Lord Granville will negotiate
with Mr., Fish ON the subject. 1t is be
lieved that when the arbitrators NEE
again the sittings will be public.

The DIFFERENCE-The New York
Times inquiries: "What is the differ
ence to-day between the New York 7rib-
me and regular dyed-in the-wool DEM
ocratic paper "Will anybody point
it out p The difference is very great.
The Tribune is not an organ. Besides,
it is not dyed in the wool it is only
dying, in the spirit, as well as in the
body. The regular dyed-in-the-wool
Democratic paper is generally honest in
its opinions, and is not treacherous to
its party. There are other differences,
but these are enough.

Eminent men of Science have discov-
cred that electricity aud magnetism are
developed in the system from the iron
in the blood. This accounts for the de-
bility, low spirits, and lack of energy a
person feels when this vital element be-
comes reduced. The peruvian Syrup,
protoxide of iron, supplies the blood
with its iron element, and is the only
form in which it is possible for it to en-
ter the circulation.

There was a tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down
People gathering at the corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness of speech.
As the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the State-House,
So they surged against the door;
And the mingling of their voices
Made the harmony profound,
Till the quiet street of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound.
..will they do it ?" Dare they do it ?"
.fWho is speaking ?" What the news? ''
what of Adams ?" What of Sherman"
"Oh, God grant they won't refuse!"
make some way there !" Let me nearer.''

While all solemnly inside

Truth and reason for their guide. -tat
Ger a simple scroll debating,
Which, though simple it might he,
Yet should shake the cliffs of England
With the thunders of the free.
Far aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman, old and gray;
He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron-sceptered sway.
So he sat, with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell
When his eye could catch the signal
The long-expected news, to tell
Seei Seel The dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line, tG
As the boy beside the portal
Hastens forth to give the sign.
With his little hands uplifted,
Breezes dallying with his hair,
Hark! with deep. clear information.
Breaks the young voice on the air:
flushed the peoples swelling murinur
Whilst the boy cries joyously
T. 'Ringi'' he shouts, Ring! grandpapa,
Ring oh, ring for Liberty
Quickly, at the given signal
The old bellman lifts his hand,
Forth he sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land.
How they shoutedi What rejoicing.
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom rutfied
The calmly gliding Delaware!
How the bonfires and the torches
Lighted up the nights repose,
And from the flames, like tabled Phoenix,
Our glorious liberty arose
That old State House bell is silent,
flushed is now its clamorous tongue;
But the spirit is awakened
Still is living-ever young;
And when we greet the smiling sunlight
On the fourth of each July,
We will ne'er forgot the bemaD
