Greeley Against Grant-A Paper for
the People.

The Presidential Campaign for 1872 has
opened. It will be the most exciting that
the country has ever known. The issues. in
volved are extraordinary in character, and
come directly home to every citizen. The
overthrow OF Grant and the election OF
Greeley mean Honesty and Reform in the
Nstional Administration, the triumph OF La"
and the restoration OF Peace and Harmony
throughout our land, and a return 10 tne
fundamental principles Of government which
prevailed in the better days OF the Re-
public. .,.. -. !, 5.,y... L. ,s
The NEST intense interest will naturally
be. felt in the progress and result Of the
struggle, especially inthe South, where the
material prosperity OF the people and their
relief from organized persecution and rob-
berry are involved. We mean that The

QUINIUM LABARRAQUE
Approved by the Imperial Academy
of,Medicine J,snp -

Approved by tho Imperial Acadeny
of'Medicine y.ta'u - ~ .
The QuinIum Labarraque is an eminentlY
tonic and febrifuge Wine, destined to replace
all the other preparations Of Peruvian Bark
The Bark Wines usually employed inme-
dcine are prepared from Barks which vary
considerably in the degree to which they
possess the desired properties. Besides,
owing to the manner in which they are pre-
pared, these Wines contain scarcely more
than the traces Of active principles, and
these always in variable proportions.
The Quinium Labarraque, approved by
the Academy of Medicine, constitutes, on the
contrary, medicine of determined compo-
sition, rich in active principles, and on wich
Physicians and Patients can always rely.
The Quinium Labarraque is prescribed
with great success for persons of weak con-
titution, or for those debilitated by various
exhausting causes or past sickness; for youths
fatigued by too rapid growth; for young
girls whose development takes place with
difficulty; for women in childbirth; and for
aged persons enfeebled by years or illness.
1t is the best preservative against Feyers.
In cases of Chlorosis, Anemia, or Greensik-
ness, This Wine is powerful auxiliary of
tile lcrrusinous preparations. In conjunction,
for example. with WALLETS Pills, the rapid
ly of its action is really marvellous.

THE FRENCH LOAN.

The demand of the French Government upon
the patriotism as well as the resources OF the
French people has been promptly and msgnln-
Gently met, No sooner had the enormous loan
oil three millards OF francs, equivalent In our
money to six hundred millions Of dollars, been
fairly put upon the market; than the subscrlp-
tlon lists we're filed to quadruple that amount.
NJ. Goulard has abundant justification for say
ing that this shows that by the war France
proved herself to have suffered. not decadence,
but explation. Never was financial VentDl
crowned with 80 splendid result; but France
does not now for the first time exhibit TO the
world noble evidence of its patriotism and
self-trust. In the autumn OF 1870, when the
prospects OF the nation we're the gloomiest,
when the German hosts swarmeo over tne
fairest provinces, and the Empire had given
away to what seemed anarchical confusion, q
loan was asked for. and triple the amount de-
mandsd tor the salvation of France was eager
" offered within eight and forty hours. 1t
about the same period victorious Germany
asked her subjects, too. for loan. what was
the response? The amount offered did not
millions. The contrast ls full of Significance.
The French, especially peasants. have an
unalterable, an invincible faith In France. In
the bItterest hour of humiliation the French
could pour out their last resources; when Ger
many rode on the t0pmost tide 0floreign con-
uuest the Germans refused 10 lFusG Luel[
money 10 the hands of their rulers.
The present loan exceeds by millions any
loan which has preceded it. Three millards
have yet to be paid the foreign conquerors as
the penalty of defeat. Two hundred millions
must be raised to cancel the home deficit f0r
the coming year. France ls gloriously equal
to the occasion. Her fields have at least not
been scared by the blight OF dead patriot
ism. Her wealth is still at the service OF ''la
| patrIe." Her confidence In the Government is
manifested by deeds which speak, not only
louder than words, but louder than the deeds
of the battlefield. Truly, history may be
searched in vain for the parallel ofthis accept
ance of the burdens entailed by war unique
in disaster. which seemed to leave no ray of
hone even for national existence. Two-fold
the whole amount Of our own national debt Is
forthcoming from French pockets, In the
course of French rehabilitation, In day. Who
shall say now that France ls In state Oh de.
cav; that she is plunged In that moral rum
which precedes material ruin? VINO snail
deny the nation which, struck to earth, ever
rises endowed with new strength, the rank
and portion of one OF the great powers OF tle
earth? It is impossible to view this marvel-
lous capacity for recuperatlon without admlra'
tlon: or to see nation rising, as France ls rs'
ing. from the ashes of most cruel anu de-
vastatlng war, without presaging Tor ner .
future, under the Republic, OF power eno
progress such as perhaps she did not ATTAIN
under Louis the Great or the Napoleons.

The consumption Of opium in this
country is increasing enormously, and
we'll informed persons say that the drug
gists of this city sell enough of the arti-
Gle to keep 10000 confirmed opium ca
tiers constantly supplied. There are but
few Chinese here, and dealers in the drug
say that its consumption is confined al
most exclusively to Americans, as for
eigners other than Chinese rarely use it.
A great deal of it is sold to servant girls.
who are supposed, however, to procure it
for their mistresses. That the vice of
opium eating Is becoming common in 9TH
er parts of the country Is rendered prob
able from the fact that a bill has just
passed both Houses Of the Kentucky Leg
i~slature providing that, on the affidavit
of two respectable citizens. any person
who through the excessive use of opium,
arsenic, hashecsh, or any drug has become
incompetent to manage himself or his es-
tate with ordinary prudence and direc-
ton, may be brought before a jury, and
on proof of such a state of facts may be
to the custody ef n or more
persons to be appointed by the court. with
power to con6ne such person in any pri-
vate asylum or in one of the lunatic asy-
lums Of tho State.

Curiosities ef the Bible.

These curious facts about the Bible
were ascertaiaed, it is said, by a convict
sentenced to a long term of solitary con-
6nement: The Bible contains 3,5S6,4S0
letters, 773, Coz words, 3I,173 verses,
1889 chapters and &c books. The word
aud occurs 46,277 times. The word
Lori occurs 1856 times. The word
Recerend occurs but once, which is in
the 9th verse of tho 1IIth Psalm. The
middle verse is the 9Th verse Of the 1lSth
Psalm. The 51st verse of the 9Th chap
ter Of Ezra contains all the letters in the
alphabet except the letter j. The finest
chapter to read is the 26th chapter Of the
Acts Of the Apostles. The 18th chapter
Of III. Kings and the 37th chapter Of
Isaiah are alike. The longest verse is
the 9th verse of the 9Th chapter of Esther.
The shortest verse is the 35th verse of the
l1th chapter of st. John. The 9th, 18th.

sPaymcn; ef Small Bills.

The payment of small bills, such as
newspaper subse i %.tions. is a matter of
more importance than is usually attached
to it. There arc not a few who in times
when business is a little depressed, and
the prospects of the future seem more
than usually unsettled, will not hold on
to their cash in hand, tell all collectors
who wait on them with overdue bills to
-'c.ll again." while the payment would
not giVeitbem any serious inconvenience,
and would accommodate a large and de-
serving class of creditors. Indeed, re

business would be fabricated and jollity

seed Corn.

No one will deny that great care should
be observed in selecting seed corn to
plant. and yet numbers of farmers ne,ers
see their seed corn until it Is carted to the
field at planting time ; we think the best
is to place a barrel in a corner of the crib,
and throw in it every large and vigorous
ear. Shell off about two inches of the
large ends. in order to get the largest and
most prolific grains. This produces a
large and healthy plant, that grows much
faster than small ones do. Many farmers
may think it quite a tedious job to select
every ear of corn planted in this way
but they will not think it 50 after giving
it a trial, and selecting as much as posi-
Bile OIL rainy days.-This plan oncc adop-
ted. will ever be adhered to afterwards.
Try it-you will never regret it but find,
it remunerative.
