recommended by the proprietor Of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy for the cure Of
catarrh and has not been perfectly
cured, the proprietor, DR.. R.. V. Pierce,
would like to hear from that person,

Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, such per-
son, II there be one, will hear Of some
thing to his or her advantage, as the
Doctor Is In earnest when he offers

he cannot cure, and Is perfectly able
to pay It IL he fails In a single case, as
any one may ascertain upon inquiry.
The thorough our'e of treatment re-
ferred to and recommended by DR..
Pierce consists In the use of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy with DR.. Pierce's
Nasal Douche. which Is the only means
by which the fluid a be carried high

passages and the chambers connected
there with, In which ulcers exist and
from which the discharge proceeds. In
addition to this thorough application
of the Remedy, which should always
be used warm, DR.. Plerce's Golden
Medical Discovery should be taken
earnestly rs constitutional treatment,
without which few cases can be cured.
rs the disease Is always constitutional
and must be treated accordingly. This
treatment has no unpleasant features

of strong, irritating snuffs or poisonous

sugar Exports from Cuba.

EDITOR GAZETTE AS an accompaniment to
the table of Mauritius sugar exports published
last week, have prepared the following table of
sugar exports from Cuba for the last five years.
This has been compiled from tables published in
The Sugar Cane, that gave the amounts for the
last three years in tons, while for the two pre-
vious years they were in thousands of tons, to
the nearest thousand, hence the performance Of
round numbers for 1868 and 1869.
This, like the former table for Mauritus, is of
much interest to US as a sugar producing country,
for not only affected by the increase or de-
cline Of their crops, but we can note their strug
giles like our own in their history of sugar rails
ing, by their exports; for while Mauritius shows
a decline from drought, cane disease, and exhaust
ing Of the soil, Cuba is showing the terrible ef-
fects Of their civil war. THos. O. THRUM.

BOmbardment of Alicante.


The Spanish rebels have possession Of several
Of the finest war ships in the Spanish navy. and
will of course use them in aid of their cause. On
Saturday, September 9th. with two Of these war
ships they bombarded the town of Alicante. a
seaport on the southeast coast Of Spain. The
telegraph reports that all efforts of the foreign
Consuis to prevent the bombardment Of the city
by the insurgent men-of-war had failed. The
British Admiral Yelverton declined to go beyond
his instructions from London, which were to
maintain an absolute neutral position. All the
merchant shipping left port and anchored outside
The British feet was moored in the harbor on
the right, the French on the left, and eleven
other foreign men-ofwar, including Germans, &C.
cupied the centre Inside these lines the rebel
iron-clads Numancia and Mendez Numez took
their positions and prepared to lombard she
place. The German commander at the last mo-
ment offered to stop hostilities, but the English
and French commanders refused to join him in
the act. The bombardment was opened at 5
o'clock Saturday morning, and 500 projectiles,
some Of which we're filed with petroleum, we're
thrown into the city, causing much damage.
Several edi6ces are in ruins. A vigorous fire
was returned from the forts and batteries on
shore. with effect for at the end Of seven hours
the rebel irOnclads slipped their cables and with
drew in a damaged condition. Minister Maison-
ave telegraphed to Madrid that the bombardmen!
had ended, and declared that it was wanton
outrage, which should be held up to the reproba-
ton of Europe. One shell struck public build
ing in which the national and city authorities
were assembled. The city walls are damaged in
several places. The rebel vessels at one time
came close to shore, but they were driven off by
a rapid and well-directed FIRE from the citadel.
The Mendez Nraez Lost her funnel Minister
Maisonave visited most of the assailed points
during the action, and encouraged the men at the
guns. Further particulars Of the bombardment
Of Alicante show that the insurgents directed
their fire chiefly at the castle, which overhangs
the town at an altitude Of 400 feet, hoping that
by the fall of its wall part of the city might be
DESTROYED.

Probable Restoration of Monarchy
in France.

An interesting telegram from Paris to the
New York World is published, dated Oct. 9th
he very latest-which contains the plan for the
restoration Of monarchy in France. 1t says: NJ.
Theirs has given consent to the proposed fusion
between the Republicans and Imperialists as the
only means Of preventing a restoration Of the
Monarchy, with Count de Chambord as Henry
the Fifth. The new party complete Is constant
Iy receiving new aecessiOns to its ranks. Never
theless the chances SO far are in favor of the
Mouarchists, who have certain majority in the
Assembly, the entire Army. and an abundance
of money with which they have been briblng the
ambitious. Among the politicians NJ Rouher
has been promised Baronctcy Immediately after
the restoration, which may now be considered,
beyond doubt, as almost sure to come about
soon after the Assembly convenes. That Theirs
should have consented at last to an alliance with
the Imperialisis is regarded as evidence Of the
rapid stride which the Monarcbial cause has been
making and the urgent necessity for immediate
measures to preserve the now totiering Republic.
A special from Washington says that private
dispatch received from Paris definitely states
that the crisis of the Republic is rapidly approach
ing, and that events may be precipilated at any
hour The Republican leaders earnestly appeal
to their friends in the United States to organize
clubs and public meetings, with view of arous-
ing favorable and active public sentiment on be-
half of the Republic in France, and the defeat of
the designs of the MOuarchists- The appeal is
signed by Republican leaders whose position it is
said entiile them 10 speak with authority worthy
Of consideration. 1t is reported, that one Of the
most remarkable points in the affairs Of France
is the alliance between some Of those who repre-
sent soldiers aud wOrIIngmen, and Prince jerome
who is supposed to desire to prove
