EH GY sure and safe cure for
-Ea- XxAr/ Fever and Ague. Such
We are now enabled to Offer,
with perfect certainty that
II viii eradicate the disease, and with assur-
ance, founded on proof, that no harm can
arise from its use In any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must he of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prerention
Is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this balelul distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatc poison of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first
approach Of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and Ger.
tain cure of Intermittents is, that It contains
no Quinnc or mineral; consequently 1t pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as If they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the con.
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety OF ulSOrucrS arse rom It's irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Haheurna-
tisni, GOut, Headache, Blindness,
TOOthache, Earache, Catarrb, Asth-
ma, Paipisation, Painful Affection
of the spleen, HI ysterics, Pain in the
Bowels. Collie, Paralysis and derange-
ment of the Stomach, all of which, when
originating in this cause, put on the inter-
mittent type, or become periodical. This
"CuRE" expels the poison from the blood,
and consequently cures them all alike. 1t is
an Invaluable protection to immigrants and
persons travelling or temporarily residing in
the malarious districts. If taken OCCASION
ally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Hence 1t is even more
valuable for protection than cnre; and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, It is an excellent remedy
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity
and producing many truly remarkable cures
where other medicines fail.

Radical Royalty.

1t has been our boast that the Chic
Magistracy Of the Republic is civil
dignity, maintained at small cost. anC
presents striking contrast to the king
~ Offices Of the Old World. All this
was once true, but unfortunately it No
longer exists. We have been gradu
ally drifting away from the plain prac,
tees OF the ancient time, adopting the
habits of the monarchical system, and
cuItlyating pomp wholly inconsistent
with free and pure institutions. Every
thing about the Executive Mansion be-
Gins to put on regal airs, and, instead
OF the honorable simplicity Of the faith
crs, there Is substituted prctcntious
parade which strikes and rcpels the
most ordinary observer.
The actual necessities for the care
and conyeniences Of the White House
are not really any greater now than
they were ten years ago But the cx-
pendltures have been constantly aug
mented, under one pretext or another.
until 1t has become one of the most
Observation-Disclosures theworld,
and far exceeds the annual cost of
many of the grandest palaces in Europe.
According to the artftll manner in which
the appropriations are made and used,
the President is almost entirely relieved
Of household expenses, and is enabled
to pocket his salary Of $4,000 year
as so much clear profit Servants and
supplies are covered up, and other
things are provided on a scale entirely
even to recent experience.
The following summary Of expendi-
lures, which extends over three.quart-
ers of a century, shows the enormous
outlay for keeping up the Presidential
and the rate Of progress"
for that time. During Mr.. Buchanan's
administration the cost was $94,GOO. |
while under General Grant it has reach |
ed $323,834! The items are classified
under the names Of furniture, repairs,
fuel attendants, grounds and green
house, fences, stables, and contigent
expenses, but, Thoroughly sifted, they
would be found to cover more domestic
objects. That money can be thus lille
5ally diverted has been shown by the
erection Of the Presidents stables
costing some $40,000) out of the ap-
Dropriatlon made for the new Depart
nent of State. The secretaries and
Jerks Of the President are not includ
I'd in this list:

COMMISSIONER DAvENPORT's ELEC-
ToN EXPENsEs.--The next thing after
the election is to count noses and pay
expenses thereof. In New York city
the expenses Of Commissioner Daven-
port were nearly quarter of a million
Of dollars. His labors being to carry
out the outrageous provisions of the
Federal election law; to pull the wires
and manipulate in favor Of Grants
election. This was done by commit
ting gross outrages upon peaccable cit
liens, dragging them from their homes
to some dismal prison because they re-
fusedto answerthe imprudent questions
asked them by the tyrannical minions
of this selfsame Commissioner Davcn
port. He had sole charge of making
acquisitions for stationery, furniture
and other articles, which acquisitions
were approved by Judge Woodruff.
Gen. Sharpe appointed 5000 Deputy
Marshals, and Davenport 1900 Super
visors Of Elections. They were EN-.
ployed eight days at salary Of IS
day, making nearly $4,000. In ad
dition to these, twenty-five clerks were
emplored by Davenport for the last
four months to manipulate the old reg
istry and make special lists Of citizens
and their residences. The salaries of
these amount to over $4,000 and Of
500 Custom House clerks on duty in
election districts, $4,000. For Com
missioner Dayenports special expenses
about $4,000 was needed. and Incl
dentals incurred by him and General
Sharpe will reach the estimated total. |
1t is well that elections Of this character
come but seldom, if the machinery oil
them is correspondingly expensive the
country over.

GEN. MEADE's SUcCEssoR.-It is I'M
derstood that Brig. Gen. A. H. Terry,
now commanding the Department of
the South, or E. R. S. Candy, com
handing the Department Of Columbia,
will be appointed Major-G General in
place of Gen. Meade, deceased. The
law provides that no promotion to the
grade of Major-General can be made
until the number on the list is reduced
to two. The death of Gen. Meade so
reduced it; consequently one of the
eight Brigadiers will be promoted, the
President having the right to select.
No promotion to the grade of Brigad-
Ter can be made until the list is reduced
b below six. There are now eight on the
list.

The Great Boston Fire.

We felt quite sad to learn of the late
disasterous fire in the city of Boston,
by which many millions Of dollars
worth OF property was destroyed and
many acres of land burned over The
business men of the city do not seem
to be discouraged, but are renewing
their efforts with commendable energy
and vigor. 1t will not be many weeks,
nay, but few months, at the longest.
before the sufferers of this destructive
lire will be re-estabIished in business.
and the burnt portion Of the city so
nicely rebuilt that hardly trace Of the
desolating footsteps Of this costly vsiit
of the Fire King, will remain. We
trust that our predictions in regard to
this matter will be fulfilled and that
Boston city will not again soon if ever
be visited with like conflgration.
We sympathize most deeply with our
Boston city neighbors in this fearful
calamity, from which we hope they
will learn some lessons of caution, ETC..
that will be Of value to them in the
future. We observe by the papers
that the noble hearted people of the
city Of Chicago (Which has contributed
100000 for the Boston suffcrers) and
also that New York and other cities
and large places, both North and South,
are making large and generous dona-
tons for the relief Of the people of the
city. The people Of Boston as intima-
ted above, are helping themselves
"God helps those who help themselves"
is an old and trite adage, which proves
true in this as well as in many other
