Gentlemen-.Last Spring my little
daughter, aged fve became very much
emaciated with loss of appetite and great
prostration OF strength, so much so that
we were obliged TO take her out OF school.
This continued through the Sum mer, and
caused us much anxiety. After trying
various remedies without deriving any
benefit, our family physician recon m end
I'd the use OF PERUVIAN SYRUP. After
using II one week we saw a marked inn

and strength. her appetite being excellent.
AT this date she is perfectly well, with
round, plump cheeks and healthy color,

The Vessel Sill Lying at Southwest Har-
Dor.
ELLSWORTH, May 2-There is no change ia
the position Of the steamer Cimbria. The
weather having cleared the officers are coming
on shore more freely and in greater numbers
But few of the men have yet been seen ashore.
Visitors are occasionally admitted but they
have nothing new to report. Large supplies of
fresh provisions are purchased for the steamer.
Various rumors are in circulation but they can
not be traced to any authentic source No
statements about the destination or plans of
the steamer or Russians can be relied on as
yet, since there are no notable indications, and
the Russian officers are guarded in coLversa-
ton. One officer remarked that their visit
here had no reference to the probable war and
should occasion no anxiety in any quarter.
NEW YORK, May 3.-The Heralds WASH
ington correspondent says that the President
will take the utmost care and every possible
precaution to prevent violations of neutrality
if war is declared, but until this event happens
there will of course be no interference of any
kind to prevent the purchase of ships, arms or
machinery, or the outfit and manning of yes
sells in our ports by any one who chooses to
spend money in that way.
The Cimbria waits in Southwest Harbor pro.
badly because her commander has learned that
the ships he was to man and turn into Russian
men-of-war, are not ready for him and at that
lonely port at Mount Desert he can keep his
crews more cheaply and with less risk of de-
sertion. 1t would not surprise persons in au-
thority if part of thA Russia ma m thu C;mhria
should presently be shipped to California by
way of the Pacific railroad, as it is known that
there are two staunch and feet steamers to be
obtained on the Pacific coast, one of them
quite new, which would, it is believed, answer
the purposes of the Russians.

which is commanded by Capt. Badenhausen,
formerly of this city but now lying off the
coast of Maine. learn that the collector of
Ellsworth has received orders to examine her
papers closely and report her movements. In
case she leaves suddenly he is to telegraph to

last English gunboats are also going to Ellis.
worth, presumably to keep the Cimbria in
sight for while. The State Depar tment,I am
informed, is decidedly opposed to this move on
the part OF the Russians, which will probably
lead to diplomatic correspondence. There is
no question that Mr.. Egarts is aggrieved that
Russia should assume so much on our good
feeling towards her.
