WHO Is MRS. WNsLow?-As this question
is frequently asked, we will simply say that she
is a lady who, for upwards of thirty years, has
untiringly devoted her time and talents as a
Female Physician and nurse, principally
among children. She has especially studied
the constitution and wants of this numerous
class, and, as result of this effort, and prac-
tical knowledge, obtained in lifetime spent as
nurse and physician, she has compounded
Soothing Syrup, for children teething. 1t OPP
crates like magic-giving rest and health, nd
IS, moreover sure to regulate the bowels. In
consequence of this article, Mrs. WinslOw is
becoming world-renOwned as benefactor of

her; especially is this the case in this city.
Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily
sold and used here. We think Mrs Winsl ow
has lmmortalized her name by this invaluable
article, and we sincerely believe thousands of
children have been saved from an early grave
by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn
will share its benefits, and unite in calling her
blessed. No mother has discharged her duty
to her suffering little one in our opinion, until
she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslows
Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers-try it now.

Miss Blanche Howard, author of "One Sum

pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette: "Miss
Blanche Howard is a Bangor girl, divinely tall
and most divinely fair, after the style of New
England blondes. She has reignei as a belle
in her native city for years, and attracted men
of polish and literary repute by her brilliant
conversational powers and musical ability,
singing with rare sweetness and power. Her
father lost his wealth, through some inadvert'
ance of fortune, and Miss Howard, who had
been superbly educated, went nobly forward
and gathered together a class to whom she
taught music and singing. Then, finding that
she had some talent as writer, she sent &C
ceptabe articles to the various periodicals,
either anonymously or over some non de plume.
After few successful ventures this way, she
sent this charming little waif out on to the
literary sea, and it has been almost overwhelmed
by the storms of compliments received. She is
still in the twenties, although the shadows are
beginning to tone them into maturity, and she
continues to attract talent to her side. and will
perhaps awake one day to find her name en-
rolled among those made famous by their pens.

turn an honest penny (for no one would, we
suppose, question the bona fdes of our n0w

two bullockS somewhere In the wilds ofDennery

a hint thrown out that the purchaser mention

the brightness OF which he seemed greatly pleas

man who betrays a lack of Intellect is called a

enough to mistake copper for gold we can only
infer that he w1s a "double.lOon"-but this is no
reason why an honest man is to be forced to give
up a purchase on which he is likely to make q
handsome profit I

TIE RETURN OF TWEED.
From she N. Y. HerGId.)

When Tweed by some mysterious
means not yet explained, fed from the
Ludlow Street Jail, the old man believed
himself free. But from what was he free
From a comfortable room, from an easy
restriction, from the socisty Of his friends
and family, and from the city which he
loved, served, betrayed. He escaped in
the night, and imagined that flight meant
liberty. But Tweed was not really free,
for to such as he freedom is impossible.
The poorest slave in the South before the
war, who never built a county court house
or engineered a river dock, might enjoy
greater freedom than the man who once
dictated politics to the metropolis OF the
American Republic. He fled like Cain, a
perpetual fugitive, pursued by a remorse-
less foe. The brand of crime was on his
forehead, and he could only obtain liberty
to wander over the face of the world by
the sacrifice Of his friends, his family and
his name. Instead of Tweed he had to
be Secor. This is not freedom !; to be
always in disguise to be like the Man in
the Iron Mask to surrender all Of the
past, without the hope of the future. The
world is o prison, Hamlet SAID, "lC Whlcn
there are many confines, wards and dun
geons, Denmark being one OF the worst"
So it was with William NJ. Tweed; he
was 10 prison here in New York, 10 Santi-
ago and in Vigo, and conscience and re-
morse were bis %jailerS. He could not es-
cape from the crime he had committed
"Where should Othello go2 ," In a short
time Tweed will be returned to New York.
He will have had a holiday Of nearly a
year; yet we doubt that he regrets it's
termination. What pleasure can there be
in continual flight He had better have
the moral courage to accept the inevita.
BILE. He should surrender to New York
the property OF which he robbed it, aud
should trust TO mar for pity 10 his old
age. and to Heaven for mercy in HE re-
~pentsnce.

The Pacific Mail steamship Alask., from
China aud Japan, arrived last night, bring
ing advioes as f)Ilows:-
Hone KONG, Sept. II, and SHANGHAI, Sept.
II.
Much indignation is expressed by British re.
sidents in China at the terms agreed to by
Sir Thomas Wade, the British Minister, for
the settlement of the Margary affair. The re-
suit is generally pronounced as unsatisfactory to
English feeling and as a triumph for Chinese
diplomacy.
The Instructions are spreading in various
provinces. YAkub Beg is reported to have
crossed the extreme western boundary of
China proper, the imperial troops retreating be-
fore him to Ian Chan fu, capital of the pro.
vince Of Kansuh.
The United States steamer Alert arrived at

A despatch of the 10Th to the New York
Times says The proceedings in the Bah
cock trial, to-day, were marked with unu-
sual interest, the great sensation being the
introduction of Abiah NJ. Everest on the
witness stand. Everest is the ex-Gauger
who fed to Europe in 1875 to escape arrest
for completely in the great conspiracy. lie
was the last collector Of the Ring. The
Government Attorney, knowing him to be a
very valuable witness, opened negotiations
for his return, and the lst of January he
land ed in America, with an assurance on
the part of the Government that he would
not be molested if he would appear as a
witness in the whiskey cases Everest has
been kept hid away from public gaze since
his return and on that account he has ac-
quirei the title of the Mysterious Wit
ness" 1t is quite probable that he knows
more of ring matters than any other man.
His testimony to the effect that he mailed
$500 bill from Joyce to Babcock is the first
direct evidence against Babcock. Egerest's
manoeI Willie uetallns MS part III INC uau-
saction was candid, plain-spoken, and appar
emily truthful, his answers on cross-examin
alton only serving to make his testimony
more startling and effective. The effect on
the jury was quite noticeable. The decision
of Judges Dillon and Treat, overriding the
objection made by defendants counsel to the
admissibility of evidence. is regarded as
showing the determination of the court to
ignore as far as possible all technical rules,
and admit everything that will throw light
on the cases.
A Washington despatch to the Bos-
ton Journal saws: Gen. Babcock's
friends do not appear cheerful over their
private advice from St Louis, and there
are rumors of testimony that it will be DIFF
fcut to overthrow.
