SEWARD AND NAPOLEON
highly Interesting Episode of the
Late Rebellion-How French Inter.
vention was Prevented.

Apropos of the death of the ex-
Emperor of the French, the Bulletin
of San Francisco prints curious
story Of some correspondence be-
tween the late Secretary Seward and
Napoleon. The editor of the Bulle-
tin, who was personal friend ofNIr.
Seward, says that at a private dinner
party in San Francisco Mr.. Seward
related the following incident:
at was,' said Mr.. Seward, "in the
darkest days of the Rebellion. Dis
aster upon disaster had befallen the
Union armies. Treason was active
and bold-fronted at Washington, in
the North and in the West. Rebel
emissaries and their allies were plot
ting against us over the Canadian
border. Our foreign relations were
most critical. Rebel cruisers were
being fitted out in British ports and
set to prey upon our commerce;
Germany was coldly neutral; the
smaller European States were indif-
ferent spectators of the conflict;
Russia was the only friend we had
among the powers Of the earth. In
this desperate emergency received

or of the French. It was marked

companion visited the Brockenfeld
and put up at Oderbruck. The lady
was a sad embitcered woman, who
neither loved nor was loved in this

him sitting there smoking a long
pipe; by his side bright woman
who held child upon her knee, with
whom the father was playing, and
which crowed merrily at him. A

coachman to 4 small girl, harnessed
as his horse. They were running
in full gallop toward their parents,
unaware of the presence Of strang-
ers.
"See, Papa" cries the elder of the
two, maggie and 1 have been for

They laid a small bunch of wild ca

At that moment Paul Smitt per-

to offer them.

it 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 OF prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This A." CURED expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever and AEue
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 Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro-
duces 10 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 disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Rheunla.
tism, GOut, Headache, Blindness,
TOOthache, Earache, Catarrh, AstI,.
ma, PalpitatiOn, Painful Affection
of the Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the
Bowels, Collie, Paralysis, and derange-
menb OF tne StOmacn, 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 viii be excreted from the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
! ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure; 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.

serious sickness and suffering is prevented by
their timely use; and every family shouid
have them on hand for their protection and
relief, when required. Long experience has
proved them to be the safest, surest, and
best of all the Pills with which the market
abOunds. By their occasional use, the blood
is purified, the corruptions Of the system eX-
PEELED, obstructicns removed, and the whole
machinery of life restored TO its healthy activ-
ity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by AyeT'S PtttS,
and stimulated into action. Thus incipient
disease is changed into health, the value of
which change, when reckoned on the vast
multitudes who enjoy it, can hardly be COM
puted. Their sugar-coating makes them
pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues
unimpaired for any length Of time, so that
they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and oper-
ate without disturbance TO the constitution or
diet or occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as Family Physic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:-

For Rheumatism. GOut, Gravel,

For Suppression, a large dose should be
taken, as it produces the desired effect by

As a DislHeT Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion, and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach
and bowels, restores the appetite, and invigOr-
ates the system. Hence it is often advanta-
geous where no serious arrangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that
dose Of these Pills makes him feel decid-
edly better, from their cleansing and reno.
