The HISTORY OF NATIONAL REM
EDY. Here is the history Of the most cell
ebratcd tonic Of the age in a nutshell. In
1850 il was announced that certain COM
bination Of vegetable ingredients, with Il
pure diHusive stimulant, was working
wonders in the cure Of chronic dyspepsia
nervous debility, liver complaint, period
ical fevers, rheumatism and constitutional
weakness. The unpretending name given
to the specific was Plantation Biite-s.
The statement attracted the attention Of
invalids everywhere. The new remedy
received a fair trial, and the results more
than confirmed all that had been said in
its praise. Thenceforward it was great
success. The business columns Of the
press spread the glorious news far and
wide, and the martyrs to indigestion. bill
liousncs', physical prostration and pre-
mature decay, as if by common consent,
sought relief from the new vegetable re-
stora,ive. They found what they sought.
From that time to the present the increase
in the demand for Plantation Bitters Ia.
been one Of the mos. striking events in
this age. J.leodswlw.

His Honor, Mayor Lansden, in q
conversation with us yesterday--a CONVEX
sation, we regret to say, tncturcd on his
part with the gall of bad temper-gavc
us the information that he regarded our
late structures on his official conduct as a
personal attack. We regret that Mr.,
Lansden has put this construction upon
our criticisms. 1t does us injustice. We
have all along published our belief that
Mr.. Lansien is gentleman and good
citizen. We intended to make
and made no attack on his
character. That he believes we did
must be attributed either TO the fact
that he wished to make nm issue with us
or cannot understand the English Ian.
guage. We attacked only his official con-
duct and yet maintain that our structures
were justified by facts. We have no doubt
Mayor Lansdcn believes he is doing his
whole duty, and doing it faithfully; but
VIC don't. This are;ched difference Of
opinion between His Honor and The
BULLETIN is the stumbling block which
lies in the pathway Of our friendship, and,
that this block may be removed, we hope
His Honor will come over to our way Of
thinking on this matter. With our pres.
ent light upon this subject VIC cannot
possibly 60 over TO the Mayors opinion
Of his official efficiency; but we protest
that we have not and do not intend to
make any attack upon him personally.
We are above personalities. Those who
know us best know we are not in the habit
Of making personal attacks upon any body,
but We are in the habit Of speaking our
opinion very freely concerning public OFF.
GERS and their public actions. IL Mayor
Lansden objects to this he must either
seek a situation as mayor Of some other
city, retire to the shades of private life,
or suspend the habeas corpus and get us
out Of the newspaper business.

with and surrounded the vesssl, and 20 con-

up with the ship until clearing off there
prevailed very strong smell of burning

eyes much irritated by the smoke. and the
decks were strewn with the duet. At the
