S j II II u R SOAP,
TIE LEADING EXTERNAL SPECIFIC
FOR DISEASES OF THE sKIN AND
Beautifier OF the Complexion.
1t renders the Cuticle BEAUTIFULLY Clear
and smooth, and is the Best Possible sub
stitute for Expensive sulphur Baths.

1t isan Incompatible Remedy for Bruis-
eS, Ulcers, Cuts, and every irritable or
unhealthy condition of the Skin, and Is
most serViceably remedial agent and
source OF speedy relief in cases of Govt
and Rheumatism.
1t is Il most desirable DisinfeCtant OF
Clothing or Bed Linen, worn and used by
persons suffering from obnoxious and
contagious diseases, and is a Capital Rem
edy and Preventive OF them, when used
Is an injection. Persons employing 1t
have no need to take sulphur BATHS; or TO
resort TO sulphur Springs for bathing pur-
poses.
As an adjunct of the Toilet, it is far
more desirable than any Cosmetic, since
it does not, like articles Of that nature,
CONCEAL CompleXional Blcmishcs, but RI
MOVES them.
Tan, Freckles, Pimples, Blotches, and
the like, speedily yield to its clarifying
influence; and it is the very best Soap to
shave with, because it leaves the skin
very smooth and free from the irritation
produced on II sensitive cuticle, by the
application of the razor. 1t also COM
pletely eradcatcs DANDRUFF.
Housewives declare it to be excellent
for washing Wooden, Linen, Lace, and
other fabrics, and ladies moving in tle
best circles of metropolitan and rural So
ciety speak of it in the highest terms.
Testimonials pour in from all quarters
of the Union upon its proprietor, many OF
which have been published in the form
of q neat pamphlet, procurable OF Drug
gistS and Fancy Goods Dealers, the origi-
nals being open TO public inspection at his
MEDICINAL WAREHOUSE, No. SIXTH Av-
ENUE, NEW YORK. The article is more
over Endorsed by the Medical fraternity.
Like most other FAMOUS REMEDIES,
GLENN'S SULPHUR SOAP has been
initiated. Soaps without the smallest
fraction of remedial efficacy have been
aud are foiled upon the unsuSpecting and
unobservant, as genuine Sulphur Soaps,
possessing properties Identical with or
equal to ihe Great Specific, which their
vendors seek to rival by underhand com
petition. The public should therefore be
careful 10 inquire tor GLENN'S. Sulphur
Soap by its full name, and See that they
get the real article.
All respectable Druggists, Fancy Goods
Dealers and Grocers keep GLENN'S

Uoarseness. Sore Throat, Asthma, Group,
and other Affections of the Breathing Or
gans.
Its soothing influence upon the lrrita-
ted lining of the air passages, Is due TO
the fact that its ingredients are the most
etlicacious pulmonic simples known to
medical botany, the basis of the article
being the HONEY, OF the HOFEHoUHD
PLANT, chemically united with the me-
dicinal principle Of the ABIES BALsAMEA,
or Balm of Gilead. There are besides,
five other botanic elements which give
additional efficacy to the first named TWO.
Those who have used 1t, say that X ALE
HONEY oF HoREHoUND AND LAR l. not on
" wonderfully remedial III All cases
where the organs Of respiration are alItct-
ed, but also that its action Is UNUSUALLY
rapid. A few doses frequently serve TO
relieve Il very obstinate cough. 1t con-
taips nothing that c2n disorder the stom-
ach, a fact that can be alleged with truth
of but few Cough remedies; it has an eX-
tremely agreeable flavor, and Is sold III II
figure which enables those of the most
limited means to avail themselves OF It's
virtues.
1t is simple madness to tribe with
Cough. Irritation of fine Throat, Chest
and Lungs travels rapidly, and what Is
trining and easily conqucraole difficulty
in those organs to-day, may III few weeks
develop into Bronchitis or Consumptlon,
two diseases which carry more victims 10

list of bodily disorders.
a Cough may be fifty termed the Pre-
liminary Stage of Consumption, malady
of which HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND
AID TAR is the surest known preventive.
Those, therefore, who would arrest the
progress Of the destroyer, should delay
not moment to take this CERTAIN Specific.
CHILDREN derive great benefit from its
SOOTHING properties, when suffering with
the paroxvsms of Group and Whooping

Survey OF the Mississippi.
MadisOn JournaL.

The party of Engineers from the
United States Coast Survey, who
have been engaged for some time In
erecting signals, measuring base lines
and taking observations in this vieini-
tY are still with us. Upon inquiry
we learn that these operations are q
part of a System of surveys now being
prosecuted at various points along
the Mississippi river, the object OF
which is to determine accurately the
present geographical position of tho
river. They will cover the river
throughout its whole length with d
network of triangles, measuring some
half a dozen base lines a mile Or two
in length, at different points with
great care, and calculating all the
others from these. One of the base
lines ID being measured through our
town, one extremity being near tina
Court House and the other in the di-
rection of the point. From this base
all other lines will be calculated as
far down as Donaldsonville and above
as far as Helena. This operation is
called In engineering paflance, Tri-
angulatiOn or q Trigonometrical sur
vey. After the completion of this
part of tue work the details will be
run &,s by anotheg aystem of minor
surveys, SO as to. give the exact posi-
tion of the river and the country for
a mile or two on each side. These
engineers will also, determine exactly
the geographical position of Vicks-
burg, its latitude and longitude.
From, these sngyeys map will be
made, which will be of great value
and impoStanee, ashas never, hereto
fore, been made q correct aud accu-
rate one of the Mississippi river in its
entirety. This map will be especially
valuable in after years, in determin-
ing the changes that are constantly
being elected by the action of the
current; In the formation and de-
structioD of islands, the occurrence
of cut-offs old rivers" lakes, etc. If
such map had been made hundred
years ago, it would now enable us to
understand more fully the nysteri-
Gus ways of the muddy old monster
such valuable friend In many re-
speets and such cruel enemy in 9TH
ers. This survey will be connected
later with the great Continental ays-
TEN of tgiangnlation now being pushed
acroas the country from the Atlantic.
