\ dispatch from Montgomery, Ala, says
that Gov. Lewis has sent communication to the
Boilers Convention, promising cooperation
with them in legislation. Gov. Lindsay before
retiring sent his message to the regularly con-
stituted Senate and House, in session at the
=: Capitol 1t thus turns out that both bodies
have received gubernatorial recognition. The
Boilers were without quorum in either House
but by admitting five in the Senate, none of
whom held certificates or other credentials,
they made up the necessary quorum. The
same rule prevailed in getting UP quorum 10
their House of Representatives, men enough
having been there admitted without credentials
to do So This action OF Gov. Lewis is
severely criticised By the people, who say that
he has assumed to create Legislature where,
for want Of quorum, none existed before,
Much excitement exists

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER so, 1872.
Death of Nr. Greeley.

We have the melancholy news OF the death
of Mr.. Greeley. He died fifty minutes past SIX
last evening He was conscious at the time,
and his passing away was peaceful. He had
been in a state OF apparent unconsclousneSs
since eight o clock in the morning, his strength
having entirely failed, and his pulse at the
wrist being impereeptible. He appeared to
suffer but little during the day.
All the public Journals pay respect to his
memory and his character.
The Tribune contains the following: The
announcement of the death of the editor and
-: founder of the Tribune, though for few days
it has been expected BY his family and init
mate friends, falls upon US with all the shock
of sudden calamity. He had reached, indeed,
, a ripe old age, but time had not laid its with
'ering touch upon him. His splendid conStitu-
ton easily bore the strain Of enormous labor.
His mind was as fresh and strong and sugges-
tive as in the prime Of life. His generous i'm
pulses were unchilled by diSheartening expert
cnces. Through the trying campaign which
has just closed, his physical vgor, his tact, his
intellectual activity surprised even those who
knew him best, and seemed to PROMISE many
years OF usefulness.
4 dispatch from Washington says Ere
quent inquiries were made to-day by all classes
in regard to Horace Greeley's health, and
much sympathy was expressed in his behalf.
\ report of his death being in circulation this
evening, and having reached the President, he
and his family, as token of respect, did not
attend reception ofthe diplomatic corps, given
by the Secretary of State, and to which he was
invited, but sent note explaining the cause OF
his ABSENCE
OF Mr.. .Grecey's public career as an editor
and politician it is not necessary now TO speak
He was.a man of decided ability, aud Of IN
-domitable perseverance. He was the architect
Of his OWE fame and fortune. His private char
acter was pure and estimabe in every re-
spect, aud won for him the best feelings
of all who knew him. 1t is said that his
religious belief was that Of Unitarian Res
toratiopist He said u letter to the Rev.
J. NJ. Austin Il believe that the moral
character formed in this life will be that in
which we shall awake in the life to come, ard
that many die so deeply stained and tainted BY
lives of transgressiou and depra7ity that te-
dious and painful discipline must prccede and
prepare for their admission to the realms OF
eternal purity and bliss.

CoED ABLUT1oSs IN FEvER.-Iu a valuable
article contributed to one of the French medi-

following conclusions concerning the use OF
cold ADDITIONS 10 fever, as practiced il, France !:
They are especially useful in typhoid and the
eruptive fevers, and strongly indicated in ma,
lignant cases. They act upon the chief and
most constant phenomena of these diseases,
are especially anti-febrie, and reduce the tenn
perature materially They favor the re-estab-
lshment of a full, profound, regular! perspir1a-
ton; render the secretions more active make
the skin supple, moist and fresh; favor the
outcoming of the eruption; allay cerebral and
other nervous excitement. suppressiog head
ache, coma, delirium, restlessness and inducing
sleep; cause the pulse to fall eight to thirty
beats. From two to eight hours is the dura-
ton of their action, the abutions to be repeat
ed two to four times in the twenty-fOur hours.
They have no influence upon the length OF the
Sickness, but render it milder, and are readily
applied as cold baths or by wrapping the pa
tient in cold wet sheet.

MASKS AND FAcEs.-Ladies who mask
their faces and necks with enamels en-.
danger their health to no purpose. The
plaster work deceives nobody. There is
but one article known which restores
blemished complexion or creates external
brilIiancy and bloom where they have
never heretofore existed, and that article
is Hagsn's Magnolia Balm. 1t performs
this toilet miracle by infusing vitality into
the skin. The floral and herbal juices OF
which il il composed gently stimulate the
circulation 10 the minute blood vessels,
and brace the network Of nerves through
which they pass. Thus quickened and
s,reng, hened the external covering soon
acquires a fresh and healthful hue, and
every trace of sallowness disappears. The
palest cheeks derive from the besutifying
baptism Of this delightful cosmetic q
warmer hue, and the arms, hands and
neck blonde lustre which the charlatans,
who profess TO make ladies beautiful for
ever with their poisonous cement, can
never hope N initiate. lO-lodA~lw
