THE PROGRESS OF UsuRPATIoN,

Hence we see how this power travels.
An empire laid off in the South COM
manded by military chief. Then we
come along to the Force bill; then we
come along to the endorsement by Con-
gress, and looking over these things we
inquire what lies behind all this Don't
we see that the change of oplnion-that
the change OF position, must be for some
reason. From May l5th up to the action
of Gen. Sheridan was only nine months.
There must be something behind all this
action of the President; there must be
something 10 explain his inconsistency;
there must be something that underies
all this. The Force bill, with the au-
thoritv to take away State Goyernme-t IT'S
an arbitrary military empire laid offin
the South and placed under the control
of dictator, must mean something. We
can only look at it in The light of events
that will transpire in the approaching
Presidential election. When we have
the conqueror and usurper installed in
the Government and he has gone on ex-
tending his military power until he has
accomplished his purposes, the time may
come when some member OF the other
hall may introduce resolutions like this;
Whereas, Great disturbances and dis
satisfactions exist in the country, and for
the sake of preserving peace and har-
moGy in the country, be it resolved that
A or B is hereby declared President.

arch or king or president for the next

The Maryland Eye and Ear Institute.

1t gives us great pleasure TO call the attcn-
tion Of our patrons to the merits of the Mary
land Eye and Ear Institute, No. 66 North
Charles street, Baltimore, which has proved it.
self so worthy of the interest of the intelligent
public, in so much that il has been the instru-
ment of relief TO so many afflicted persons from
all grades of society, those occupying the high
est position in life, as well as the INDECENT of
our own State, having received alike the bene-
fits of the Institution.
We congratulate the officers in charge upon
the energy shown in the establishing of such an
institution, which having been the first one
started in the Southern States had TO contend
with the want of public interest and the pecu-
mary embarrassment following such a great
undertaking, when supported by only few
gentlemen; for nearly seven years. however, it
has now existed and by its good work has been
firmly established, being supported by the City
and state, and having the hearty cooperation of
the generous lublic. Among it's officers are
numbered some of the most prominent gentle
men of this State and the South, whose names
alone are sufficient guarantees of the efficiency
OF those in immediate charge and of the stand
ing this Institution has attained. In looking
over the last report we notice the increase of
the numbers treated yearly, as follows;

Decrease OF Water,

The Vienna Academy Of Science has
addressed to the scientific societies OF
Europe circular, accompanied with an
instructive report, inyitingthem to unite
in observations having for their object a
determination OF the causes Of the de-
crease OF water In springs, rivers, and
water.courses. Attention is called TO
the fact that, for d certain number OF
years, the waters Of the Danube and 9TH
er large rivers have been diminishing.
The Austrian Engineers and Architects
Union have taken up the same question,
and have appointed a Hydrostatic Com.
mission to collect facts and prepare a
report. Two members will observe the
Danube, the Elbe, and the Rhine, and
two others will study the meteorology Of
the subject and the influence that the
Alpine glaciers and torrents may bear
upon IL. The Commission regard the
devastation OF the forests as the prime
cause Of the disastrous decrease Of Euro
pean waters, and urge an Immediate
adoption OF measures to remedy the evil.

SuIDhuric Acid and Weeds.

A correspondent Of the Journal OF
Horticulture eng writess "Take an
old blacking bottle, with awire around
1t to carry it by, and stick to dip with.
The stick should not be pointed, but
should be nOtched round, for an inch or
two at the end, the better to hold the
liquor. JUST one drop In the heart Of
plaintain is sufficient to cause death,
and the notched stick will contain at
one dip enough to destroy three or four
plants. If the acid Is good, the work of
death can both be seen and heard, for
the vitrial Kisses, and it burns up the
plantain in q moment. A row OF plant
aims foot wide sprang up on q lawn
here, where an iron fence formerly run.
The owner, seeing at a place he visited
the good effect of vitriol, put the hint in
practice. The plantains were killed in
an hour, and have never appeared again.
1t is three years since, and it is impos-
sible to recognize the line Of the fence;
it completely burns the roots out. / have
tried it on large dandelions with the
same result. One of the young men there
amused himself by hunting out the long
est thistles he could find TO experiment
on. The yitriol completely killed them
by eating the roots out. One drop viii
do. Care is required that 1t does not
touch the skin, boots or clothes; it is not
safe in the hands.ot children, but man
or woman, with ten minutes practice,
can kill plantains more quickly than any
lad can eat gooseberries."

How many wretched homes in our land! (!
how many heart broken invalids! Life with
many signifies mere onerous existence. All
are subject to disease, but when health is re-
moved the hope is nearly gone out. Sickness
is usually incurred through exposure or care
lessness. Especially is this true with those
diseases peculiar 10 woman. Through her own
imprudence and folly she is made to drag out a
miserable existence-a source of annoyance
and anxiety to her friends, aud any thing but
comfort and pleasure to herself. Exposure
to the cold at times when she should be most
prudent, and overtaxing her body with labor
ious employment, are both fruitful causes of
many Ut the mala;Iies from which she
suffers. Gradually the bloom leaves her
cheeks, her lips grow ashy white, her vivac-
ity departs, she continually experiences feel
ing of WEAKNESS and general iangu0r. and al
together presents a ghost y appearance What
does she need2 Should she take some stimu-
lating drug, which will for the time make her
"feel BETTER" or does her entire system de-

eased organs, but will tone and invigorate the

A New Metal

Lucy Hooper writes TO the Phiiadel-
phia Telegraph from Paris: The Mari
time and Fluvial Exhibition, at the
Palais d'Industrie, Is to close in few
days, and the prizes to be awarded are
already under consideration. The exhi-
bition has assumed peculiarly interest
ing form to an American from the fact
that many of the principal articles
therein are destined for our centennial
Exhibition. Among the new discov-
cries which owe their first publicity
to this eminently successful enter
prise, that of a new metal, which
aDpears destined to figure largely in
commerce, may be cited. This brill
liant stranger, which has received the
name of Argyrine, is white and lus-
trous, like silver, it is malleabie, due
tile, and inoxydable, and can replace
silver advantageously in many OF the
important uses to which that metal is
put, as it possesses the advantage OF
costing JUST one-twelfth OF the price OF
silver. A very beautiful clock and can
delebra in the Henri Deux style in Argy-
rine have been exhibited and were much
admired. A casting. rough from
the mold, was shown to demonstrate how
easily the Argyrine could be melted and
how thoroughly it tilled up the inter-
stices of the mold. Some statuettes,
seals and other toys for the etagere OF
the center table were exhibited, display
ing the fine color of the metal and the
contrast between the chased and pol
ished surfaces, the effect of which was
quite equal IL not superior to that Of the
same workmanship in silver. 1t is
thought that IL will soon be very gener'
ally used for carriages, harness, etc., Its
non-corrosive Quallties rendering Ii es.
peciaIIy valuable for such uses.

When the long-absent man received
this letter in New Mexico, he showed
the photograph of his niece to COM
panion. who was $50 struck" with her
appearance that he wrote to her, pro-
posing marriage, and Offering to furnish
the means for her outfit, journey to the
West, etc. The proposal seems to have
been looked upon. favorably by the
Young lady, who answered the letter, he
sending her by return mail $500 in
money, an engagement ring, set of jew
eiry, ETC., and request that she would
correspond with her uncle as to his char
acter, financial standing, etc. She did so,
and the uncle reported him well to do
and s'perfect gentleman"
1t was in due time arranged that she
should take the money and valuables
and 20 to New Mexico, with the under
standing that, il after becoming person
ally acquainted with the lover whom she
had never seen, she was not suited he
was to send her home again. She start
ed three weeks ago. She is eighteen
years of age, poor working girl, belong

admits to beng over forty.
