The celebrated author, in this adj

from thirty years successful practice
that the alarming consequences of
self-abuse may be radically cured;
pointing out mode of cure at once
simple, certain and effectual by means
of which every sufferer, no matter
what his condition may be, may cure
himself cheaply, privately and Tadi-

The Senate passed the bill to
return to Japan the amount
of the indemnity which was exacted
Of the Imperial Government after the
affair of the bombardment at Shi-
mOnaseki The original amount paid
by Japan was $3.50, 900, that being our
share of the S3,OO0,0O0 squeezed from
the japanese Government. This sum
judiciously invested by Secretary Sc
ward, now amounts to 81 ,463 ,224. 1t
is provided by the bill which passed
the Senate that $24S, 900 of the fund
shall be paid to the crews of the ves-
sells employed in the fight at Shi-
mOnoseki, or their survivors, which
would leave 81, fla, PA to be paid to
Japan. Such conclusion to this
long-uelayed and miserable business
would have been a matter for congrat-
ulation among patriotic Americans,
But it seems impossible that the House
could find time (if it had the incli-
nation) to pass the bill, necessary al
though it was to the preservation OF
the honorable reputation of the Re
public. c.-New York Times.
