THOSE of you who suffer from any of the pain
full malades peculiar to your sex will find in the
BUFFALO LITHIA WATERS remedy more
potent than any to be found in the Pharmacopeia,
or among the Patent Nostrums of the day. Some of
the most eminent medical men of the country,
thoroughly conversant with their effects, pronounce
these waters well nigh specific in all diseases of
the character here referred to. AS great Restora
tive in the NERVOUS debility, and painful NEU-
RALGIA affections often attending delicate females,
they are claimed to be without rival among mine
raj waters or medicines. They are put up in cases
of one dozen half gallon bottles, at S. per case
at the Springs payable incGriably in adrance.

dBd 14th, 1876. The observatory had
been set up in Ricketts, Battery, and con-
neoted by a special wire with the Tele-
graph Office. From 12 to IS stars were
observed with a transit instrument at
each station on each night, for the purpose
of determining the local times. About
81 time-sigcals were sent nightly (192

SO (1s5 in ally from Trinidad to Barbados.
From these materials, the difference of
longitude was rigidly deduced from each
night separately. The second and third
nights results were absolutely identical.

The result Of the first night differed from
this by O.O7 sec. or about IS yards.
"The latitudes were found by the
method very generally used by American
astronomers of observing pairs of high
stars on the meridian, north and south of
the zenith, with the zenith telescope.
Thirteen such pairs were observed here,
giving results which in no case differed
more than 2".9 (about 81 yards) from the
mean of the whole, while the probable
error of the mean is only II yards.

would be a valuable and important work
for Barbados to undertake, such an estab~

gestion must, like everything else, con-

The annual Missionary meeting ct the

The BISHOP at O meeting OF his own

The want of labour presses heavily
on planters in this island. The Lieutenant
Governor has been asked to get 600 immi-
grants at once, and these are for scarcely one
half of the island, and nearly restricted to
the Sugar Estates in cultivation. The
ChyoAiek says:
"The evil results of the Cyclone of Sep
TENDER last, have not turned out so disas'
trous as was at ore time feared. Tie
country is again recovering it's ordinary
appearance, and the cane crop, which, it
was feared would be destroyed. has to a
great extent been got in without much
loss sand, we are glad to say, that the
roads are being got into something like
order again, despite scarcity of labour,"
Colonel Harley, who has now actually
received his commission as Lieutenant
Governor, was sworn in, under q salute
of Is guns. The Grenadians seemed well
pleassd with his administration so far.

The Temperance Movement In
Louisiana.
Franklin Sun /

The New Orleans Democrat, under
this heading, relates that = within
the past month numerous Temperance
Societies have been organized i'll
Franklin, Morehouse, Lincoln, Union,
Iberia, st. Maay, etc" We are sorry
to say that as to Franklin, at least,
this statement of our contemporary
is incorrect. We are glad that we
can sav, however, that the number OF
saloons in our little town has de-
creased, within the last two years,
from three and four, to only one. Also
that our parish officers are.all temper
ate men. and, with one exception, all
belong to the order of U. f. OF I.
Whether or not this cause is :" the out
growth of puritanism," we are not
able to say but one thing we do
know, and that is, that it has had a
good effect upon the morals OF the
country wherever it has prevailed.
We have for some time favored
this cause, but have never belonged
to the proscriptive wing of the order,
and therefore do not believe III the
passage of any law to prohibit or
restrict the sale ofintoxicating liquors.
We think that public opinion ought
to regulate this matter, and that the
grand aim of temperance people
should be, to so edcuate this great
power that any decent man would be
ashamed to be seen intoxicated. This
done, the order viii have performed
its mission, and its votaries can
proudly retire upon their honors.
For few years directly after the
close of the war, low, vulgar idea of
morality prevailed to such IN extent
that man was scarcely considered
sociable if he did not occasionally be-
come inebriated, and he who offered
to run fora public office was almost
compelled to treat every one he met.
But thanks to the temperance IN
tIuence. DO such idea now prevails.
STIR up We advocates ofcoid water
renew your energies, and it will not
be many years before an habltuaI
drunkard will not only be unable to
get any public Office, but will also
Cease to be invited to decent enter
tainments-proscribed, not by law
but by the more powerful influence
! of public sentiment.

SPRINGTIME.

Dear, faded flowers, they bloom again,
Like echoes of the springtime gone;
And Inossy hillside, shadowy glen,
Break out in beauty like the dawn.
In regal beauty leaf and bud
Bend meath the kisses of the breeze,
And ..Spanish mixture for the e.Blood
Smiles from the fences, rocks and trees.
Dear, smiling spring, what tender hope
Breathes from the life 3awaking soil; -
How Bolus' ADti-billions hope"
And DIR. Gastric's Castor Oil,
Bid frightened nature wake and smile;
For springtime blossoms fill us less
With thoughts of pansies than with vile
"PaDaceas for Billiousness."
If to the wsoded nook we stray,
Where every swelling germ is huge
With life; each gray -browed rock will say
"Use Philogaster's Vermifuge.'
If from these siivan bowers we hy,
We fly alas to other ills;
And farm yard gates and barn-doors cry,
Take Ginsengrooter's Liver Fills.
Each blue-eyed violet hides a g Pill,
There's scent of "Rhubarb IN the air;
Rheumatic Pas .ers T" line each hill.
And '.Bftters" blossoms every where.
With 'Ague Cures" the eyes are scared;
The air is thick or thin l meant,
For natures face and clothes are smeared
With Universal Liniment.'

there is an almost universal express
sion of opinion that that purse oud
gentleman's birth was delayed too
long by Just about two centuries, and
also q very general concurrence in the
opinion that it is altogether too late
in the nineteenth century to attempt
to justify the bigotry and intolerance
exhibited towards Mr.. Seligman and
unless Judge Hilton has more valid
reasons, to be openly stated instead
of being vaguely intimated, for what
appears gratuitous insult offered to

tions by the storm of resentment pro-
voked from both Jew and Gentle.
There is no question that the silver
| discussion has created some alarm
among foreign holders of American
securities. To promptly check the
upfayorable influence upon our new
loan, as supposed, a letter was yester-
submitted to the Cabinet meeting,
approved and Immediately made pub
lie. Its contents were substantially
as follows: There is no coin issued OF
issuable under present laws, in which
the principal or interest of the per
cent. bonds are redeemable or pay
able, except our gold coin of standard
value, fixed by laws i'll force on the
l4th of July, 1870, when the bonds
were authorized; and as the govern
ment exacts in exchange the face value
of these bonds in that coin, the Sec
retary gives it as his opinion that there
will he no legislation or other actio;
had by which they will be made re,
leemable, or their interest payable
in coin of less value than that exist
ing at the date the bonds were author
lied. He regards the good faith o
the government pledged to the re
demption of the principal and interes
of the said bonds, in coin of the same
value as it requires in exchange fo
them.
