A Desperate Fellow.

The Count de Sainte-Croix, the as
sailant of M. Gambetta, who was
sentenced to fine and imprisonment, is
man of middle height, pale, with
black hair cut short, and small waxed
mustaches, dressed in black frock
coat, with decoration in the button
hole. He is the son of the Marquis
Raynouard de Sainte- Croix, Perfect
of the Eure in 1851 and lever since
1860 Treasurer Paymaster General of
the Department of the Mayenne. He
is the nephew of three eminent Bona
partists-M. de Soubeyran, member
of the Versailles Assembly; M. Malaret,
an x-ambassador, and nj. de Thorigny,
member of the transition ministry
which preceded the coup d'etat of De-
cember 2. He was born in 1840 At
the age of twelve his father sent him to
sea rs cabin boy. For reasons not
explained he did not stay long afoat ;
but the next stage of his life was that,
in pursuance of correctional paternal
power, he was sent to the juvenile penal
colony of Mettray, under the care OF
the late lamented M. de Metz. After a
period of probation there he enlisted as
volunteer in the Third regiment OF
Zouaves. He took part in the italian
campaign, and was successfully promo
ted to the rank of corporal and ser
geant. He was broken as sergeant,
reduced to be again a corporal, and
with that grade sent to disciplinary
regiment in Senegal. There, while on
parade and undergoing punishment
drill, he mortally stabbed the non-com
missioned officer in command of ths
squad. He was tried 10y court
martial and condemned to death. Tit
sentence was quashed for vice OF form
by court of revision. Tried SECOND
time, he got off with four years pena
servitude. Family influence placed
him, instead of prison, in hospital
where he was a great favorite witt

A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women.

By r. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y.
Knowing that you are subject to a great
amount of suffering, that delicacy on your part
has a strong tendency to prolong, and the
longer it is neglected the more you have to
endure and the more difficult of cure your case
becomes, l. as physician, who is daily con-
suited by scores of your sex, desire to say to
you, that l am constantly meeting with those
who have been treated for their ailments for
months without being benefited in the least,
until they have become perfectly discouraged
and have almost made up their minds never to
take another dose Of medicine or be tortured
by any further treatment. They had rather
die and have their sufferings ended than to
live and suffer as they have. They say they
are worn out by suffering and are only made
worse by treatment. OF anything more dis
couraging, we certainly cannot conceive, and
were there no more successful mode of treating
such difficulties than that, the principles Of
which teach the reducing and depicting of the
vital forces of the system, when the indications
dictate treatment directly the reverse Of the
one adopted for them, their cases would be
deplorable indeed. But lady sufferers. there is
better and far more successful plan of treat
ment for you one more in harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system A
harsh irritating caustic treatment and strong
medicines will never cure you. If you would
use rational means, such as common-sense
should dictate to every intelligent lady, take
such medicines as embody the very best in.
MIGRATING tonics and nervines compounded
with special reference to your delicate system.
Such happy combination you will find in my
Favorte Prescription, which has received the
loudest praise from thousands of your sex
Those languid tiresome sensations causing you
to feel scarcely able to be on your feet or as
cend fight of stairs, that continual drain tina
is sapping from your systems all your former
elasticity, and driving the bloom from you
checks; that continual strain upon your vita
forces that render you irritable and fretful
may all be overcome and subdued by per
severing use of that marvellous remedy. ir
regularities and distractions to the prope
workings Of your system are relieved by thi
mild and safe means, while periodical pains
the existence of which is sure indication O
serious disease that should not be neglected
readily yield to it, and if its use is kept up TO
a reasonable length of time the special caus
of these pains is permanently removed. Furthe
light on these subjects may be obtained iron

sions of the United States, announces

the elevation of your character and the
usefulness of your life lift up the mar

everything to refine and ennoble each
