NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
Ernudulent Observation-Disclosures.

Among the pcrncious frauds Of the PERIOD there is
which especially deserves the apprehension of al
who place a proper value on life and health. The
swnde referred to consists in the attempts of rrespon
be parties in different sections of the United States
to force upon the market vile astringent compounds
manufactured out of damaged worthless drugs and
refuse liquor, preparations possessing the me-
dienal virtues of the most popular and ecacous of
all vegetable TONES and alterati eHoStettcrs Stom
ach Btters.
The cOncocters of these local bitters' are in the
truest of the phrase. public enemies Their fiery
pOtiOns nhame the StOmachs stupefy the brains, and
shatter the of those who unwise enough to
accept them substitutes for the famous Vegetable
Invig0rant, that for twenty years has been known
throughout the Western Hemisphere a standard ar
ticle.
The fame Of HOstetters Bitters health preserv-
ing, yitalzing medicine, is wide the world, and
the miserable attempts Of needy nosrum mongers to
supplant would be treated with silent contempt
it not that serious consequences sometimes follow the
use of the nefarous compounds in question Whoever
recommends any of them remedies for Dyspepsia,
Bulousness Constipation, Intermittent Fever, Rheu
matlSm, other complaint for which HOstetter's
Bltters Is known specific is guilty of moral if not
legal msdemeaIOr. At this season. when the sun is
releasing from the earth, in the form of unwhoesome
vapors the active principle of disease course of Hos
te tiers Btters win be of the utmost service TO persons
with feeble constitutions.

The recall of the Spanish Minister, Sc
nor Roberts, together with the presence OF
Minister Sickles in this country, adds in
terest to the Spanish question.
OF the retiring minister, Secretary Fish
says to a reporter:
[ don't know exactly what to make of them.
| am sorry about the recall of the Spanish Min
lister, for l have yet to know the Spaniard who
is better man than Senior Roberts He has
been invariably courteous and kind. When
ever he possibly could he advocated hu name
policy in Cuba, and endeavored to mitigate the
severity of the Spanish rnle in that island. /
don't know how his successor will turn out to
be, (here Mr.. Fish shook his head gloomiy, }
but this can say, Spain has never sent bet
ter representative to Washington than Senior
Roberts.
OF his successor, the New York Herald
says: "Senor Roberts, the Spanish Minis
ter, has received official notification of his
recall, and will be succeeded by Admiral
Polo de Barnabe, who will leave for Wash
ington without delay. Since 1869 he has
been rear admiral of the Spanish navy,
and was lately commander of a squadron
in the Mediterranean. He is yet in the
prime Of life. The New York Herald
thinks his appointment unfavorable to the
maintenance of friendly relations between
the United Stases and Spain"

OUR dispatches yesterday announced
that the old Board of Aldermen III New
York preferred articles of Impeachment
against Mayor Hall, just before the hour at
which their term of office expired.
There is conflict between the old and
new Boards. The point in dispute is as
follows; the Legislature of 1870 passed an
act providing for the election of fifteen
Aldermen in November, 1871, to begin
their term of office January /, 1872. The
Legislature following passed a second act
prescribing that the old Board, or "Ring"
Board, should hold over until January
1878. The latter law it is claimed is un-
constitutional, because it did not repeal
certain clauses OF the act of 1870, and
gave to the Legislature the right to
appoint the Board. The lawyers of
New York seem pretty much all to con-
sent to the latter claim. Mayor Hall
it is said was about to recognize the old
board and had document prepared to
send to them when he heard of their ac-
ton impeaching him, He lost no time in
changing his opinion on the legal question
presented and now thinks the Reform
Board entitled to their seats.

well are vastly superior to the forces
under Secretary Chase or Mccullough.
These facts are encouraging, as showing
what has been done in the face of a heavy
pressure for place, and lead us to believe
under the new system prescribed by the
Civil Service Commission, and just in
augurated by the President, great reform
will certainly result. We think the pub
lie ought to thoroughly appreciate the real
facts, but see no good to follow an undue
eXaggeration of the evil.

WE congratulate our enterprising citi-
zens of the Board of Trade upon the deci-
ded success attending their first effort to
entertain and instruct our people by a
course of lectures. We have heard but
one opinion expressed of AR. Maynard's
lecture-that it was highly instructing
and entertaining, and but one hope enter
tained-that the Board of Trade would
provide other lecturers. We know of no
other organization so well situated to give
our community such a pleasure. We
hope soon to announce the second lecture
of the course.
