PATENT MEDICINES. That there are
some good patent medicines no intelli-
gent man dare for q moment deny; and
pre-eminent is the great California hero

by DIR. J. WALKER, a prominent physi-
clan of San Francisco. This medicine,
although called Bitters, is not 10 be
classed among the vile 'fancy drinks"

rum-venders, but is a combination Of

and is compounded without the use in
any shape Of spirits. Its action upon
the internal system is not stimulating

but il at once attacks blood impurities.
and by removing the original cause de.
stroys tho germs OF disease and invites
returning health. Its action upon the
stomach and liver render il an almost

cases Of dyspepsia, and in truth i'm

cines ever invented. Com.

Land Locked Navigation.

There is steam communication be.
tween New York City and Southern
North Carolina all the way without
going to sea, and over sixty regular
steamers do the business of the route.
The route is along the Raritan River to
New Brunswick and the Delaware and
Raritan Canal TO the Delaware River,
thence through to the bay, and on
through the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal to the Chesapeake Bay, thence to
Norfolk, and on through the Abe
marie and Chesapeake Canal into Cur
rituck and Albemarle Sounds, and
sway along again through Pamlico
Sound and the Neuse River to New
bern. Vessels that will not live in the
ocean passage can go inland all the way
from New York to Newbern when the
canals ale not frozen. Mr.. Marshall
Parks, President OF the Albemarle &
Chesapeake Canal Company, says IT is
practicable TO go all the way to Florida
that way with a little more expense.

SYDENHAM recommends the apphca-

most desirable. The alcohol should
be applied for one or two hours con-

In case of large burns care must be
taken lest the alcoholic vapors stupefy
the child.

Curin0 n Cold.

A recent medical writer says. Sleep
whenever you can-anywhere you can
get chance the want of the age is
sleep" This is not always safe to fol.
low, as one OF cur townsmen (says co
temporary knows to his sorrow. He
was recently afflicted with bad cold,
and to cure himself of it resorte 20 the
remedy of putting his fe, il Iot water
and drinking a tumblerful Of strong
whisky toddy, prescribed by an aged
and respected friend of the family.
Having got everything in order for
carrying out the prescription, he sat
down by the fire, his feet immersed in
warm water, and a tumbler of smoking
toddy by his side. In this condition a
sense Of enjoyment stole over him as
he slipped the exhilerating liquid, and
fell asleep. His wife had gone to bed,
ami, on awakening about three o'clock
in the morning, wondered why she was
alone. Going down stairs she was hor-
rified to find her liege lord asleep in
his chair, the fire out, his feet still
immersed in the water, over which a
cake of ice was forming, and an empty
tumbler on the chair beside him. His
cold isn't bit better.

register recording the weddings of all
the English Queens were to be taken
to foreign land. Accordingly Dean
Stanley was provided with a single leaf
wherein to enter the marriage, which
will be bound up in the register when
il gets back from Russia. In order 10
go properly through the ceremony, the
Dean was likewise obliged to carry
with him the blue velvet-covered

William w., and another pray book
which has been used at all the royal
English marriages since that of George

ton, Texas, whittier he had recently
gone for the benefit of his health He
represented Texas in Congress from
1859 until that State seeded, when he
resigned his seat in the United States
Senate and accepted a command in the
Southern army. While in the Senate
he advocated the right Of the states to
secede, and took very prominent part
in the secession movement. He was
formally expelled from the Senate in
July, 1851, and soon after he
identified himself with the new
confederation, and held the rank
OF General in the Southern Army. He
was present at the bombardment and
received the surrender of Fort Sumter
He subsequently commanded brigade
OF troops from Texas, and took part in
a number of engagements. On being
elected Senator to the first Confeder-
ate Congress he retired from active
service in the field and devoted himself
to parliamentary work. He was re-
elected to the Second Congress, in
which he served until the fall of Rich
fnotd. He succeeded in escaping to
England, where he remained until it
was safe to return to this country. He
settled IN Baltimore about eighteen
months ago, and was recently admitted
to the bar. He was a native of South
Carolina, and was at his death fifty
years old.

HOW 1T WORKS.

The Jackson Herald, In noting the
passage of the initiation bill by the
Lower House Of Congress, figures out
the practical effect as follows: "On
the 23d of March, the day the imitation
bill was passed, gold closed in New
York at 1llt, where it had been stand
ing for some time previously. From
the stable point, it rose gradually to
ll2s on the 26th, and 113s ON the 9th
ult. AS gold rises there is a CORES
ponding depreciation of legal tenders,
of course. The depreciation of Treas
ury notes in the four days was lie.
There are outstanding in round num-
bers, $3.50, 0OO,0 900 of legaltender notes.
One and quarter per cent depreciation
On that amount is 81 rs, 600. The de-
probation Of the 800, 0OO, 900 national
bank notes In circulation, at the same
rate, is S., 100000. The aggregate de-
probation Of the circulating medium,
was therefore, SO, 775, 1000, or more than
half the prospective amount Of curren-
ey to be added. The certainty of throw
ing upon the market SIS, 600. 900 more
of paper money, in four days time de-
preciated the exchangeable value Of pa
per money nearly S1O.OO0,OOO. On the
51st of March, gold closed in New York
at II3s, which still increases the de-
probation. If the act passes into a
law, it is very doubtful whether infa-
ton will add one cent to the purchasing
value of the circulating medium"

THE THIRn DIsTRICT.

The is no good reason why the De-
mocracy cannot carry the Chattanooga
District for Congress, "An Old Demo-
crat" in the Jasper Herald says: eve
know that a majority of the voters in
this district are Democrats. We know
that Gov. Brown carried these seven
teen counties over Freeman by a ma
jority of eight hundred and forty-eight
votes" After citing the various par
ties to be c~onciliated, including the
Changers and tie Good Templars, he
adds: "You have got to nominate a
man in the conventional and unite on him
at the polls; some good liberal man;
some man who can command the ON
fdence and respect of all the sets that
l have been talking about, except the
Radicals" These views deserve con-
sideration from the Democracy of that
district. We believe the chances are
even brighter than "Old Democrat"
represents, his opinion being apparent
ly based on the apportionment Of 1872.
Let our friends aspire to compass all
plain possibilities, remembering that
those who aim high are least likely to
fall short of the mark.

likewise. Yet his pay rarely rises as much
as gold does, and usually falls more than
gold does. Any great. huctuation in the
currency robs him, then. When he uses
his hard-earned wages to buy anything, he
mus pay the fair price of the article and the
extra amount that serves as insurance be-
sides. Every dealer charges this. As he
usually buys of the last Of several dealers,
he must pay the insurance thst the inn
porter, the jobber, and all the retailers
through whose hands the article has passed
have exacted. These half-dozen ~insurances
are part of the tax he pays for living under
a government that tries 10 make money
out of lamp-black andrags. When farmer
and artisan appreciate these facts, as they
will in time, if imitation goes on, they will
send a different class of men to Congress"
The Republican party was pledgedto
a speedy return to specie payments,
and with a t~wo-thirds majority IN both
houses of Congress; it is preparing to
put off the consummation of that
pledge indefinitely. It is not the South
and West nor classes of citizens, but
the Republican party that should be
held responsible for the initiation of the
currency. That is the point for the
HerdJd's battery.
