after having managed to carve avery re-
spectacle sized Kingdom out Of Central
Asia, at the expense of his Chinese
neighbors, felt it necessary 70 make an
other advance in the way of independent
authority. According to recent intel
ligence, it appears that he now coins
money in the name of the Sultan of
Turkey. It might, perhaps, be asked
why he should not do this in his own
name instead Of in that of foreign
potentate. In order to understand the
motive of this vicarious proceeding,
some little explanation is necessary
The situation of the Kashgerian chief
is somewhat like that of Norman
Rover in the eleventh century, seeking
Papal sanction for the realm he had
founded. The Sultan is regarded by
all true believers as the representative
of the Califs, to whom Mahomet dele
gated religious supremacy. It was,
therefore,, natural that the new Emir
should seek religious sanction for the
power he had usurped. Hence the en-
bassy to Constantinople to obtain from
the Commander of the Faithful the I'll
tie of Ameer, and hence also his recent
polite act of coming money in the name
Of the head Of the Mohametan creed.

A Mammoth Dispensary.
From the st. Louis Republican.

s among the notable physicians OF this coun-
try, DR.. r. V..Pierce Of Buffalo, n Y, stands
deservedly high. He has obtained professional
emiDence through strictly legitimate means,
and fully deserves the envable reputation
which he enjoys. A thorough and careful
preparation for his calling and extensive read
ing, during long and unusually large practice,
have made him extraordinarily successful in
his private practice, and gained the commend
alton even Of his professional brethren. BY
devoting his attention mainly to certain spec-
alt1es he has been rewarded in O. very great
degree, and in these lines is recognized as
leader. Not few of his preparations COM
pounded for these special cases have been
adopted and are used in their private practice
py physicians throughout the country, and his
pamphlets and larger works upon these sub
Jects nave been welcomed as valuable additions
to medical literature and placed among the
regular textbooks of many medical schools
acknowledgment of the services which he has
performed for medical science has been made
6y presentations Of degrees from two of the
frst medical institutions Of the land and by
the translation of several of his works into
German, Spanish and other foreign languages.
lhe increasing demand for his specifics some
time since necessitated the opening of a regl-

a small beginning the business of this estab-
llshment has now grown to mammoth proper
lions. thus during the three months ending
March 81, 1874, the sum expended for postage

WINNING GOLDEN "a OPNIONs.-Per-
haps no man living has won more gold
en- opinions than DR.. Walker, in the
enormous and widely increasing sale Of
his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR B1mTERs at
tests. We never look into one of our
exchanges, but there is panegyric of
the Bitters staring us in the face. Our
readers will say that there must be
reason for all this praise. They are.
right. The efficacy Of this celebrated
medicine is established by evidence
which it's impossible to doubt. Among
the thousandsw who have borne testimony
to its excellence, there is not one dis
sentlent voice. In very many phases
Of inorganic disease it seems to be I'M
failing. All diseases arising from a
vitlated state Of the blood are surely
eradlcated by it. It is an effectual
remedy for pulmonary complaints, bill
lOus, remlttent and intermittent fevers,
rheumatism and dyspepsia. It purges
the body OF all unhealthy humors, gives
tone to the system, and where the vital
powers are enfeebled, restores their
functions to vigorous and healthy
action. ALI this itdoes the more effect
ually because it's operation is not inter-
fered with by the presence of alcohol.
The VINEGAR BITTERs is perfectly free
from any such h11rtful ingredient. We
have always believed that plants con-
tain the true remedies for disease. and
all the rem edies necessary. DIR. Walk
er is en- the line Of real progress, and
we hope that he will not rest on his
present discoveres.-Com.

XOuaIeS.

In my account Of the review held by
Marshal MacMahon last month I re-
marked on the absence of the Zouaves.
| was not then aware that there were no
longer any in France. Since the war
they have returned to their original
duties. which were those of colonial
troops. The Empire imported them
into France as it did the Turcos-those
Sepoys Of Algeria. When those corps
were introduced into the imperial guard
1t became necessary to have reserves 10
keep up their strength, and SO line regi-
ments Of Zouaves were brought into
French garrisons to serve as a nursery
for the Zouaves Of the guard. The late
war did good deal to dissipate the ex-
aggerated prestige Of those semi Orien-
tai troops. AS for the Turcos, afte-
Forbach and Woerth they were reduced
to handful. Their European dril and
discipline made them formidable to the
Arabs, and their desperate valor and fe-
1 TO nd themus5y
was greatly diminished by the introduce
ton Of long-range rifles. Excellent
skirmishero, their cat-like agility and
speed and ferocious onset also made
them terrible in bayonet attack when,
regardless Of death, they charged home
to break line or square. But when
such charges had to be made upon
troops carrying rifles that kill at 8
thousand yards, and fire six times in a
minute, the chief utility of the half-sav-
age Turcos was gone. It is unlikely
that either he or the Zouaves will again
be seen figuring in a European war
