Mr.. JAMES I. FELLOWS, Chemist, St. John,
N. B.
DEAR SIR: Having used your Chemical
preparation of Hypophosphites, which was
recommended to me by Mr. Blagdon, Apothe-
cary of Rockland, L am truly surprised with
itswonderful effects, because for several years
my health has been declining, notwithstand-
ing every means possible, which offered encour-
agement, was used by me. Several alarming
symptoms appeared, amongst which Dyspepsia,
Palpitation of the Heart, Impoverished blood,
and great prostration. Since January when 1
began the use of your Syrup, my health has
steadily and amazingly improved, so that now
it gives me great pleasure to recommend it to
others, and in this way to show my gratitude
for return of health. To all who require rem
edy for Debility, will say that they will find
your Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites
just what you say it is. believe it the best
preparation in use. 1 am, sir, Sc,

There is young lady in Milford who has
been taking music lessons on the piano for

letter, as pla bi noat butt spell by ere.''

At Pocahontas, Ark, a fortnight ago, a
woman, while passing house, was torn in
pieces by pack of dogs. A day or two after,
another person was attacked by the same

his dogs tied up, which indicates very ac-
commodating spirit.

The breeze, and the bird, and the stream,
That sing, and that sing together
The murmur Of drowsy bees
In the purple fox-glove bells;
A breath of the clover leas
A wait from the birchen dells;
A flash on the cottage pane
From .he sun in its westward burning
A sound of steps in the lane,
And Of voices home returning;
The warmth of a downy nest,
With the cushat's COO above it.
Earth at its fairest, best,
With its God to bless and love it.

The London critics lament that Nilsson is
spoiled by American adulation, and "The
Queen" says, plainly; ''What is generally
complained of by her most ardent admirers is
the almost defiant aspect she assumes, as if
the composer of the opera were a nonentity,
and the conductor mere cipher. Mile. Nils
son is not musician enough to dictate either
to M. Gounod or to Sir. Michael Costa. The
score of the former must be adhered to; the
beat of the latter must be equally observed.
The tempt are in the published score; Mile
Nilsson has no right to prolong them or to
hurry them. No prima donna, even if second
ed by Capoul, is justified in running one of
the most intensely pathetis duos, as is that
with which Gounod has been inspired in the
garden scene between Faust and Margher-
ita.'

found in his books. He is now well ad'

beautiful penmanship. Foryesrs to come

THE NEW oRLRANs WAR.

There could be no more damning
commentary on the present administra-
ton than the revolutionary proceedings
in New Orleans between the two wings
Of the Radical party. Blood has been
shed, the streets blocked up, and the last
account states that business is quite sus-
pended. The business season Of New
Orleans is brief at best, but to have il
interfered with when it is most
active is an outrage, and attests
that no interest Of commerce or Of
business, or Of life, can stand a mo-
ment before the wars, plans and ras-
calities of this Radical administration.
With the quarrels of the Radical fac
tons for place and plumber, the people
have nothing to do. But their business
is suspended by it, their houses closed,
streets are blocked up, troops are on
parade, and bloody war is imminent.
All this comes from the determination
Of the Government to nominate Grant
for reelection. Lovely is the prospect.

ginr Indians These people have a right
TO claim the finest rooms in hotel, and
sit at the table with the white guests; to
take front seats at the theaters, and to
occupy palace cars on the railroads.
This is the programme, and 1t is to be
carried out with all the power and all the
devilish malice of the Grant party. Now,
what is to be done2 How long would
the Peabody hotel run if negroes thronged
it. gorged at its tables, and slept
in its snowy beds2 How long would
the theaters hold out if negroes filed
them2 The races cannot be mixed by
law, What right has the Government
to break up public places and ruin peo-
Pile? Law or no law, a negro cannot
mix with the guests of the St. Nicholas,
of New York, nor any other hotel in the
North. The very people who sustain
the party that commits this great
outrage, will not respect the law
that permits it. But in the
South the case is different. Here the
dedication of the negro is meant to
insult the whites. The internal pro-
gramme will be carried out if carpet
baggers, scalawags and corrupt Con-
gressmen can induce the negro to test
his rights. The only hope of escaping
from SO serious a difficulty resides in the
good sense Of the black man. Thus far,
he has shown no disposition to intrude
where his society is not wanted, and where
he would be out of place. He prefers
the company of his own people, for
there he u.s. with all his instincts and
habits, at home. Certainly white men
will never intrude upon his prejudices,
nor force themselves into an undesired
association with him. Aswe have stated,
our escape from so very serious matter
rests with the good sense of the colored
people.

ment is growing stronger respecting the
high handed measures Of Warmoth.
Martial law will probably become neces

took place this evening, and it was de-
termined to call a meeting of citizens
to express the public sentiment respect
ing Warmoth's violation of the law in
arming the police with muskets and

The Executive Committee Of the Citi-

evening, and passed resolutions to ap'
point a committee to Gallon Speaker
Carter, another 60 call on Governor
Warmoth, and third to wait on General
Emory. This is an effort to arrest mar

the measures will do no good.

put themselves upon the record to-day
as preferring native born negroes to
white foreigners. Morgan, of Ohio,
offered resolution which set forth that
as the Constitution allowed Indians and
negroes to be eligible to the Office of
President, and that therefore the same
privilege could be extended, through
constitutional amendments, to foreign
ers. Nearly all the Radicals refused to.
suspend the rules in order to allow
vote to be taken upon this proposition.

WAR WITH SPAIN.

War with Spain is said to be imminent.
We do not believe a word of it. Does
the President mean to carry on two wars
at the same timer No. That now rag
ing in South Carolina suits him exactly,
and is just sufficient to keep his hand in.
1t is with a malignant pleasure that he
contemplates his victories in that miser.
able State. The spectacle of people fly
ing to the mountains, and languishing
in jails, starved, naked and cold, is his
delight. And then to see the distress OF
women and children, left destitute by
his victories, completes his bappi-
ness. 1t is all the war he wants.
Spain may detain United States vessels,
Cuba may murder children, Havana
may resolve itself into a mob and
kick Americans out of the city, but
there will be no war with Spain. Grant
does not know how to fight foreign
people. He only knows how, with four
or FIVE men to one, to fight the South
Let no one press to his chest the unc-
ton, whether Aattering or not, that we
are to have brush with Spain. The
reelection of the President is a ques-
ton that runs through all his policy.
No insult from foreign State could
take his mind from that. All questions
are determined with reference to the
effect their solution would have on his
success. We beg the country not to be
alarmed. We shall have no war outside
of the States. 1t is glory enough to
fight the people of the South.
