That FavOrite Home Remedy,
P Al Xxi LLER

Has been before the public over THIRTY YEARS, and
probably has wider and better reputation than any
other proprietary medicine Of the present day. At
this period there but few unacquanted with the
merits of the PAIN-KILLER; but, whll1 some exto
it liniment, they knew but little of its power in
easing pain when taken internally; while others
it internally with great success, but are equally
ignorant of its healing virtues when applied external
y We therefore wish to say to ALL that it is equally,
successful, whether used internally externally.
1t is sufficient evidence of its virtues ndard med
iene to know that it is used in all parts of the
world, and that its sale is constantly increasing. No
curative agent has had such wide spread sale or
given such universal satisfaction.
DAVIS PAIN-KILLER is purely vegetable com
pound prepared from the best and purest materials
and with that insures the most perfect uniform
ity in the medicine; and while 1t is a most effective
remedy for pain it is perfectly safe medicine
in the most unskilful hands.
1t is eminently FAMILY MEDIC me; and by being
kept ready for immediate resort, vii save many an
hour of suffering and many dollar in time and doc
tors bills.
After thirty years trial. 1t is still receiving the
most unqualified testimonials to its virtues, from
persons of the highest character and responsibility
Eminent Physicians commend 1t as most efectual
preparation for the extinction ofpan 1t Is not
ly the best remedy known for Bruises, Cuts
Burns, &c., but for Dysentery, or Cholera, or any
sort of bowel complaint, it is remedy unsurpassed
for efficiency and rapdity Of action. In the great
cities of India and other hot climates it has become
the standard medicine for all such complaints, as
well as for Dyspepsia, Liver complaints, and all
other kindred disorders. For Coughs and Colds,
Canker, Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, it has
been proved by the most abundant and convincing
testimony to be an invaluable medicine.
We would caution the public against all limitations
of our preparation, either in style of putting
up. aprl4eod&w1m

A Flowers Ghost.

A Flowers Ghost.
ny ATLANTA.
There was flower, most like shining star
Among the glad green grass, with showers "e''
When in the land Springs earliest bloom was 'e'
OF snowtrop and of pale wood-rioiet,
And IN wfnd-driyen clouds tho sun stood in'
Through the low-ying mists that filed the vao
sbone long warm rays aslant; the south-winos
breath
T.,eu onen maple buds in crimson sheath;
And fair the day wherein the flower found death
Nor rain wept nor did any sad wind wall
Among the flowers fulfilled of later Spring
gray ghost stood, that once was golden bloom
Among the living when the dead shall come,
That are forgotten, they no more find room,
Nor any touch or word Of welcoming;
And SO It ioated through tho air afar;
But where at last it rested, who shall say
Until this year is folded quite away,
And in some meadow, on new springs day.
Shall stand the wonder Of golden star!

SIR An inaccuracy has occurred in the city
papers in the statement OF the grounds on which ha
protest has been fled with the Secretary Of state to the
issuance OF warrant for the surrender OF Carl YOgt
which beg leave 10 correct. The protest is on two
grounds First, that there is In the Treaty Of
June l6, 1882 between Prussia and the Uued states
whereby any obligation rests the United states to de-
liver up any fugitive from justice found in her terrific
res on demand Of Prussia for any provided for
by said Treaty. where the same Is alleged TO have oeen
committed in territory foreign Government other
than that Prussia Second that the act OF Congress
OF June a. 1860, requires that the certificate shall state
that the dispositions papers produced or offered before
the United states Commissioners evidence would. for
similar purposes, be admitted evidence before the
tribunals the country from which the accused has
capped and the certificate of principal diplomatic
consular officers resident such country shall DO eVi
dence Of the On the first Of these questions the
Court arrived at the conclusion that the Language
in the preamble and the first article OF the Treaty
showed that such power was intended to bs
conferred, and that in the OF the words
within the territory and Jurisdiction" It is fairly To
be deduced that the word jurisdiction meant something
beyond the physical territory. similar language IS iOand
in eight OF treaties and stress laid upon that fact
readily suggests itself that tho first was taken rs
model and that II IL was designed to confer such urls
dicOn do In support of this jarisdic
ton claimed under the Treaty the Conrt brings an AID,
that prior and subsequent reates, DrtWeeh e Jhted
States and foreign countries respecting jurisdiction in
the United States, crimes committed In foreign
countries, and the laws passed 10 pursuance thereof
aud also the laws OF the United States prior aud subSe
quent the Treaty crimes committed not within
the physical territory OF the United states conferred
such power. As the existence or such power under
treaties and acts OF Congress 1t Is not perceived
that possesses any force in determining the question
OF the power claimed under the Trraty OF
June 70, 1852 In fact IL argument against such
power. For the language OF the Treaty OF 1852 does
not itself aud itself contain language which cOnfers
suchpOwer ought not 10 be exercised simply reason
