Den th Of C0uus Nleiau.

Count Eugene Meian, French consul
general for Cuba and Porto Rico. died sud-
denly at Havana on tho twenty.third of
November of apoplexy, to the great regret
Of his official associates and of many friends
in pnvate life" This bret announcement
appears in the columns Of the New York
Herald, and recalls to mind the fact that in
1862 Count Mejan occupied the trying posi-.
tion Of French consul in this city. His tilts
with General Butler in that year are q
matter Of history. and not altogether
creGitable 10 the consul. Many French
subjects here. while claiming to be neu.

giving aid and comfort to the one.

transactions for supplying cloth for the
Confederates. and large amounts of specie
seqnestered in the Bank Of New Orleans.
intended for Confederate aid. was found to
have been deposited by HIM. It was also
ascegtsined that sums of money had been
paid to his clerk and to Anne. Mejan for
services rendered. The case Of the impris.
onment Of Charles Ueidsieck. Of the French
house Of champagne dealers. also occurred
at that time. which involved the Count in
matters of state. and finally worked his re-
call by the French government. II must
also be said that to the Counts representa-
tions of these matters at Washington was
attributed the removal Of General Butler
from command in this department, ss the
news of Banks appointment to the COM
mand n November. 1862, was first made
known to the French legation, and came 10
Butler through Confederate sources.

The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1874-07-23

In the atmosphere experienced here dur
ing the summer months, the lethargy pro
duced by the heat takes away the desire for
wholesome food, and frequent Preparations
reduce bodily energy, particularly those
suffering from the effects of facilitating dis
activity OF the systou, we must resort TO ar
titicial means. For this purpose Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual y few
doses will create an appetite and give fresh
vfgor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia
it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can be per-
manently cured by the drugs which are
generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally diff
ferent from such drugs. 1t contains no
corrosive minerals or acids; in fact it assists
the regular operations of nature, and sup
plies her deficiencies. The tonic in its
nature so much resembles the gastric juice
that it is almost identical with that fluid
The gastric juice is the natural solvent
which, in a healthy condition of the body,
causes the food to be digested; and when
this juice is not excreted in sufficient guam
titles, indigestion, with all its distressing
symptoms follows. The sea Weed Tonic
performs the duty of the gastric juice when
the latter is deficient. Schencks Sea Weed
Tonic sold by all Druggists.
